Students grab a snack at the Koch Industries Lounge in the KU School of Business. A student group has filed a Kansas Open Records Act request to investigate the relationship the Koch brothers have with the school.
Group pursues University, Koch brothers link

@MirandaDavisUDK
The issue that started with 10 months of research and questions of transparency will soon come to fruition once the University produces a Kansas Open Records Act request to a group of University students.
The group has been pursuing information about the Koch brothers' relationship with the School of Business.
The students are members of Students for a Sustainable Future, a campus organization that organizes campaigns for social, environmental and economic issues. They expect to receive the documents in late October. Originally,
they filed a request in April and revised it in August. The University approved the request, but it came with a $1,800 price tag.
The students organized a petition and fundraiser, raised all the money and submitted the payment last Friday. In the group's KORA request, it asked for all documents about donations and associated restrictions by Koch family foundations, donations and associated restrictions contributed to Dr. Arthur Hall and the Center for Applied Economics and records of the hiring processes for Hall, Dr. Douglas A. Houston and Dr. Koleman Strumpf.
Schuyler Kraus, a senior from Allen, Texas, and president of Students for a
Sustainable Future, started looking into the Koch brothers' relationship with the University once she learned about the Koch brothers' contracts with schools like Florida State University and Clemson. Internal memos and emails at those schools indicated the Koch brothers had influence over hiring and curriculum.
"It really goes back to this question of, 'Does academia exist to churn out cogs to go into this economic wheel machine, to make it all work, or does academics exist totally separate from the dominant economic model,'" Kraus said. "Does it exist to question that?"
She knew the Koch brothers were from Wichita and wondered what kind of
influence, if any, they had at a university in their home
"There are so many coincidences that it warrants an investigation into what's on go."
SCHUYLER KRAUS President of Students for a Sustainable Future
state.
The students started researching all things Koch and found, among others things, $1.4 million in donations from the Kochs to the business school. The business school funds Hall's position, and Hall runs the Center for Applied
Economics, which was established with a donation from the Koch brothers, according to the op-ed piece written by Kraus and published in the Lawrence Journal-World.
"There are so many coincidences that it warrants an investigation into what's going on," Kraus said.
Neeli Bendapudi, dean of the business school, said while the school is grateful for the money from the Koch Foundation, it has also raised slightly under $70 million in the past three years, excluding Koch money.
Bendapudi said this is an issue of academic freedom and said she does not believe she, or any dean, has the right to limit what a professor researches. Bendapudi said
she hasn't received any complaints from business school students about Hall and said she believes his classroom teachings are unbiased.
"In the classroom, no matter who is funded and how, if you have a professor who says, 'I will punish you if you do not agree with me' or 'I'm using this classroom to advocate a particular point of view', then I think that's unacceptable and we would let them go." Bendapudi said
Bendapudi said in the three years she's been dean, students have come to her with complaints about different professors, but not one has been about Hall.

Daisy Hill sees rise in parking citations
AMBER VANDEGRIFT
@AmberVandegrift
Construction has caused a change for student parking on Daisy Hill. Donna Hultine, director of KU Parking and Transit, said 1,359 parking tickets have been given on Daisy Hill and at the Lied Center between Aug. 1 and Sept. 29 this year, which is more than 100 more than last year at the same time.
Hultine said Daisy Hill has lost about 600 parking spaces due to the construction of the new residence hall to replace McCollum Hall. The 300E lot by the Lied Center has provided overflow parking to make up for the lost spaces.
"Section E of the Lied Center lot is designated as a DF (Daisy Field) lot," Hultine said. "It's for DF permits, and it's actually always been a DF lot. Even before the Lied Center was built, there was a parking lot on that side of the bridge that was for the residence halls, so we've sort of claimed that for housing."
Since many Daisy Hill residents have to park in 300E, Hultine said some students have even purchased yellow permits
instead of Daisy Field ones, which has caused some confusion. Hultine said the Lied Center parking lot, except 300E, is closed from 4-6 a.m., even for vehicles with a yellow permit.
"If it's a no valid permit ticket, and if it's a wrong zone ticket, like ... if someone parks in the staff area at the beginning of the year, if they take that ticket forgiveness quiz, those can all be forgiven, they can all be canceled, but we only cancel one per person. It has to be your first ticket,"
"The parking commission created a rule last year that prohibits overnight parking at the Lied Center lot, except 300E, because the Lied Center still has to have that parking lot for nighttime performances," Hultine said.
Hultine said most tickets are written for no valid permit or wrong zone, which are generally fined $25 each, but she said some students take the opportunity to get their tickets forgiven. Hultine said 220 tickets have been canceled between Aug. 1 and Sept. 29 this year, which is fewer than this time last year.

The Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access has drafted a 2014 climate survey, which gathers information from students about sexual assault on campus, to be reviewed by a variety of campus groups and administration before it's released this fall.
The surveys are emailed to all KU email addresses. Jane McQueeny, executive director of IOA, said the goal is to

sexual assault training. It will also include many questions from the Not Alone campaign, which was established by the White House in January to eliminate sexual assault on campus.
"[The task force] is going to look holistically and see what the survey responses say," said Angela Murphy, co-chair of the sexual assault task force and graduate student. "Then we are going to compare it to national rates and to our peer institutions."
Previous climate surveys asked a variety of questions, including questions gauging student knowledge on policies and asking about reporting and reasons for not reporting. Information from the surveys about sexual harassment involving alcohol and bystander actions have been previously used to improve sexual assault training.

University creates first campus book club
KELSI KIRWIN
@KnKirwinUDK
The University of Kansas finally has its first book club. Claudia Larkin, director of marketing at KU Memorial Unions, partnered with Student Union Activities to create this club for students to relax and indulge in a good book once a month.
"With book clubs being so popular now, we thought it would be a great opportunity to get students to read," Larkin said. "It's about having an opportunity to decompress once a month."
To get things going, Larkin will lead the first meeting. While she will have a list of suggestions,the decision of the next monthly books will be left up to the students in the club.
"By having students leading the club, students will feel more invested in it and truly want to read the books," said Bea Tretbar, president of SUA. "I think it will help
the club stay relevant to students."
After working with Larkin and the marketing team, Tretbar decided to join the book club herself.
"I think the club will be a great conversation starter," Tretbar said. "Students will have the opportunity to relax while staying on campus and meeting friends with something in common."
"With book clubs being so popular now, we thought it would be a great opportunity to get students to read."
CLAUDIA LARKIN Director of marketing at KU Memorial Unions
The first book the club is discussing is a New York Times bestseller written by Mindy Kaling, "Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?"
["The book] seemed like something college kids would enjoy and could relate to," Larkin said. "It's an easy read and it's a diversion from textbooks."
It was chosen because its humor is a change of pace from schoolwork.
"We intentionally hung it [the book club] off of Tea at 3," Larkin said. "It seemed like students would love to sit down with tea, a cookie and a good book, especially as the weather gets colder."
The book club's first meeting will be Thursday at 3:15 p.m., immediately after SUA's Tea at 3 on Level 4 of the Union. It is free to attend for all students.
The book club will continue to meet at 3:15 p.m. on the first Thursday of every month that classes are in session.
For more information about the book club, contact kuunionbookclub@gmail.com.

Kansas taxes fall short by $21M
TOPEKA — Kansas reported Tuesday that its tax collections fell $21 million short of expectations in September, which could expand a predicted budget shortfall as Republican Gov. Sam Brownback faces a tough re-election battle over income tax cuts he engineered.
The Department of Revenue said softer-than-anticipated personal income tax collections reported in its preliminary revenue figures could rebound in future months. The department also said corporate income tax collections exceeded expectations and said it suggested a good business climate.
The state has cut its top personal income tax rate 26 percent and exempted the owners of 191,000 businesses from personal income taxes. Brownback contends the reductions
Even with the good news in corporate income taxes, the state collected $521 million in taxes for the month, or 4 percent less than the $542 million it had anticipated. Since the fiscal year began July 1, the state has taken in $1.35 billion in taxes, some $23 million, or 1.7 percent less than anticipated for the past three months.
But Davis, the Kansas House minority leader said in a statement that the tax cuts represent a failed economic experiment, and, "It's not going to work."
are stimulating economic growth, but before Tuesday's report, the Legislature's nonpartisan research staff predicted a budget shortfall of $238 million by July 2016.
"Tax cuts take a little bit of time to be able to generate (revenue) and move forward," Brownback said during an interview on Fox News. "People are looking at it (Kansas) and saying, 'OK, I think this is moving in the right direction."
Personal income tax collections fell more than $42 million short of the September target of $250 million, a shortfall of nearly 23 percent. Individual income tax collections also are running about 9 percent behind where they were last year.
Associated Press
Department of Revenue spokeswoman Jeanine Koranda said this month's shortfall can be attributed to many taxpayers making estimated payments based on their 2013 incomes, and they're likely to face additional payments early next year.

Hultine said.
"I have to go way out of my way to take the bridge or go way out of my way to walk across on the crosswalk, and it's very inconvenient," LaFollette said.
Mark LaFollette, a Daisy Hill resident and a sophomore from Olathe, said the parking situation on Daisy Hill is a problem. He said he parks in lot 300E in the Lied Center frequently, which he said can be a hassle when he needs to carry things from his car.
He said he has never received a ticket, but it is a concern he has.
I am slightly worried that I will park in the wrong spot on Daisy Hill, and sometimes I've had to take pictures, so in case I have to appeal my ticket, I can say 'there was not a sign'; because signs pop up overnight saying you can't park places," LaFollette said.

LaFollette said he is dissatisfied because he paid to park on Daisy Hill, yet he is not getting to park on Daisy Hill.
There were 547 students, 193 males, 346 females and eight non-responses surveyed in 2012. In 2013, 890 students were surveyed, 306 males, 579 females and five non-responses.
In 2012, the climate survey was used to establish a baseline of what students knew about where to report, and in 2013 the survey asked more about the reporting process, McQueeny said. However, there were some of the same or similar questions on surveys from both years.

"We read it, look for any trends, see if there's anything to be concerned about," McQueeny said. "I think last year we even used some of our survey responses in the training."
"Did you know that sexual harassment, which includes sexual violence (i.e. rape, sexual assault) is prohibited at the University of Kansas?" 112-320 percent said no.

2013: 12.13 percent said no

"Have you witnessed sexual harassment, including sexual violence, while at the University of Kansas?"
2013: 40.56 percent said they would contact IOA to file a complaint
When asked about filing a report:
2012: 20.31 percent said they were aware of who to contact
In 2012, the last question was: "How satisfied are you with the University of Kansas' efforts to prevent and respond to allegations of sexual harassment?"
7. 54 percent said they were very dissatisfied
13. 93 percent said they were somewhat dissatisfied
48. 36 percent said they were neutral or had no opinion

First US Ebola case confirmed in Dallas
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DALLAS — The first case of Ebola diagnosed in the U.S. was confirmed Tuesday in a patient who recently traveled from Liberia to Dallas—a sign of the far-reaching impact of the out-of-control epidemic in West Africa.
DALLAS POLICE 9218
A police car drives past the entrance to the Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas on Tuesday. A patient in the hospital is showing signs of the Ebola virus and is being kept in strict isolation with test results pending, hospital officials said Monday.
The unidentified man was critically ill and has been in isolation at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital since Sunday, federal health officials said. They would not reveal his nationality or age.
Authorities have begun tracking down family and friends who may have had close contact with him and could be at risk for becoming ill. But officials said there are no other suspected cases in Texas.
"The bottom line here is that I have no doubt we will control this importation, or this case of Ebola, so that it does not spread widely in this country."
TOM FRIEDEN Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
At the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Director Tom Frieden said the man left Liberia on Sept. 19, arrived the next day to visit relatives and started feeling ill four or five days later. He said it was not clear how the patient became infected.
Ebola symptoms can include fever, muscle pain, vomiting
There was no risk to anyone on the airplane because the man had no symptoms at the time of the flight, Frieden said.
and bleeding, and can appear as long as 21 days after exposure to the virus. The disease is not contagious until symptoms begin, and it takes close contact with bodily fluids to spread.
"The bottom line here is that I have no doubt we will control this importation, or this case of Ebola, so that it does not spread widely in this country," Frieden told reporters.
"It is certainly possible that someone who had contact with this individual, a family member or other individual, could develop Ebola in the coming weeks," he added. "But there is no doubt in my mind that we will stop it here."
In Washington, President Barack Obama was briefed about the diagnosis in a call from Frieden, the White House said.
Four American aid workers who became infected in West Africa have been flown back to the U.S. for treatment after they became sick. They were cared for in special isolation facilities at hospitals in Atlanta and Nebraska. Three have recovered.
Also, a U.S. doctor exposed to the virus in Sierra Leone is under observation in a similar facility at the National Institutes of Health.
The U.S. has only four such isolation units. Asked whether the Texas patient would be moved to one of those specialty facilities, Frieden said there was no need and virtually any hospital can provide the proper care and infection control.
"We don't have those
Dr. Edward Goodman, an epidemiologist at the hospital, said the U.S. was much better prepared to handle the disease than African hospitals, which are often short of doctors, gloves, gowns and masks.
problems. So we're perfectly capable of taking care of this patient with no risk to other people" he said.
After arriving in the U.S. on Sept. 20, the man began to develop symptoms last Wednesday and initially sought care two days later. But he was released. At the time, hospital officials did not know he had been in West Africa. He returned later as his condition worsened.
Blood tests by Texas health officials and the CDC separately confirmed an Ebola diagnosis on Tuesday.
State health officials described the patient as seriously ill. Goodman said he was able to communicate and was hungry.
The hospital is discussing if experimental treatments would be appropriate, Frieden said.
Since the summer months, U.S. health officials have been
preparing for the possibility that an individual traveler could unknowingly arrive with the infection. Health authorities have advised hospitals on how to prevent the virus from spreading within their facilities.
People boarding planes in the outbreak zone are checked for fever, but that does not guarantee that an infected person won't get through.
Liberia is one of the three hardest-hit countries in the epidemic, along with Sierra Leone and Guinea.
Ebola is believed to have sickened more than 6,500 people in West Africa, and more than 3,000 deaths have been linked to the disease, according to the World Health Organization. But even those tolls are probably underestimates, partially because there are not enough labs to test people for Ebola.
by American naval researchers arrived this weekend and will be operational this week, according to the U.S. Embassy in Monrovia. The labs will reduce the amount of time it takes to learn if a patient has Ebola from several days to a few hours.
Two mobile Ebola labs staffed
The U.S. military also delivered equipment to build a field hospital, originally designed to treat troops in combat zones. The 25bed clinic will be staffed by American health workers and will treat doctors and nurses who have become infected.
The U.S. is planning to build 17 other clinics in Liberia and will help train more health workers to staff them.Britain has promised to help set up 700 treatment beds in Sierra Leone, and its military will build and staff a hospital in that country.France is sending a field hospital and doctors to Guinea.

Marathon bombing suspects' sister faces NYC judge
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Ailina Tsarnaeva, 24, of North Bergen, New Jersey, was held on aggravated harassment charges. She is accused of threatening a woman who previously had a romantic relationship with her husband.
NEW YORK — A sister of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects was led away in handcuffs Tuesday after a brief court appearance on allegations she threatened to "put a bomb" on a perceived romantic rival.
"Leave my man alone," she said in a phone call on Aug. 25, according to the criminal complaint. "Stop looking for him. I have people. I know people that can put a bomb where you live."
Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Abreu said Tsarnaeva was apparently referencing her brothers, Dzhokhar and Tamerlan
Tsarnaev, who had been the subjects of an intense manhunt in the Boston area in the days after the deadly April 2013 marathon bombing. Tamerlan Tsarnaev died following a gunbattle with police, and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was captured.
Prosecutors said Tsarnaeva had driven past the woman's house since an order of protection was issued.
"My client is an easy target," Marcus said. "This is an uncorroborated claim."
Marcus said Tsarnaeva, a mother of two including a 5-month-old, and her family had "absolutely no means" and she did not deserve to be jailed.
Tsarnaeva's attorney, Susan Marcus, said she disputes making such statements.
According to a statement Tsarnaeva gave police, she called the woman to tell her to leave her family alone because
she had been harassing her husband.
"She started screaming and calling me names and saying that I will see what she is going to do to me," she said, according to the statement. "So I hung up the phone on her."
"I have nothing to say," she told reporters.
Tarnaeva arrived at Manhattan criminal court with a man, though it was unclear if it was her husband, as a small group of protesters screamed insults.
Tsarnaeva has an ongoing case in Massachusetts and is required to check in with probation officers since
Her lawyer referred to the father of Tsarnaeva's children as her husband, though it has also been reported they were not married.
Judge Denise Dominquez renewed the order of protection and set bail at $5,000.
She also was arrested in 2009 on charges she left the scene of an accident, but the case was dismissed, prosecutors said.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is charged with building and planting the two pressure cooker bombs that exploded near the marathon's finish line, killing three people and injuring more than 260 others. He has pleaded not guilty.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Prosecutors said she picked up someone who passed a counterfeit bill at a restaurant at a Boston mall and "lied about certain salient facts during the investigation."

Victim blaming is never acceptable, no matter what
The comparison in "Victim blaming is wrong, but we cannot be naive" isn't logical. Nobody thinks that we should leave our wallets out in public as a sign of trust of the public. We all deserve, however, to feel that we alone have control over our own bodies, regardless of where we are.

He doesn't suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder or experience social anxiety in public
like many sexual assault survivors do. He doesn't fear encountering the perpetrator like many sexual assault survivors do. He wasn't asked what he did to make the perpetrator think it was OK to take advantage of him like sexual assault survivors are asked repeatedly.
Victim blaming will never solve sexual assault. It only reinforces
the idea that victims deserved to be assaulted or it was their fault. Victim blaming has to stop. We should, as the columnist says, discuss how to prevent sexual assault, but the onus shouldn't be on potential victims. It's never someone's responsibility to avoid being assaulted. It is always someone's responsibility to not assault other people.
Our fear of victim blaming doesn't create more victims. Our focus on potential victims, instead of potential perpetrators, does.

Participation is key in crucial upcoming Kansas elections
There is nothing quite like an election season
quite like an election season in a battleground state. Advertisements saturate the airwaves, big-name politicians come to town to stump for their horse in the race and candidates fighting for their political lives become even more desperate for your vote.
Sound familiar?
Because it should, since that is exactly what is happening in Kansas.
Gov. Sam Brownback, Secretary of State Kris Kobach and Sen. Pat Roberts have all suddenly found themselves fighting tooth-and-nail to defend their current positions and respective visions for the future. Each of these races are composed of different circumstances, representing a unique choice for Kansans.
To begin, the Governor's race presents us with a choice between two radically different visions. On one hand, we may choose to continue Gov. Brownback's experiment of slashing state taxes and services, or we could decide to reverse Brownback's course by selecting a native son of Lawrence, Paul Davis.

In the competition for Secretary of State, Kansas again has a uniquely important decision to make. Secretary Kobach has made an
unusually prominent name for himself in national politics, helping Arizona institute the strictest immigration laws in the nation and pioneering extensive and controversial requirements for voter registration here in Kansas. Former Republican State Senator Jean Schodorf is running as a Democrat to succeed Kobach, a move that underscores the rebellion of many moderates within the Kansas Republican Party.
Perhaps the race with the most national significance is Roberts' bid for re-election to the Senate. Damaged by his abandonment of Kansas residency, a bitter primary, and adoption of many Tea Party positions, Roberts now finds himself in a situation entirely new to him - a competitive race.
With the Kansas Supreme Court's affirmation of Democrat Chad Taylor's attempt to be removed from the ballot, Independent Greg Orman now has a chance to unseat Roberts and potentially decide control
or the entire United States Senate.
Seeing the fierce competition of these races (and even some House of Representatives elections), national groups have poured money and resources into Kansas, setting the stage for what will be a political battle one would expect in such bonafide battlegrounds as Ohio or Florida.
This election has evolved into the most competitive election in recent Kansas history, one that will affect everything - from the price of a college education to the job market that awaits graduates.
With polls locked in a statistical tie, it is absolutely vital that all Kansans make themselves heard this November. Regardless of your political affiliation, do not let your voice in this election go to waste because you think, "it doesn't matter." It does
Don't forfeit your say in your government. Register to vote by Oct.14 and make your voice heard.

What are you most looking forward to in October?
W walking down Jayhawk Boulevard. I
looked around and saw that almost every student was walking with their eyes on their cell phones. It was a beautiful day, yet every student appeared to be concentrated on what they held in their hands.
People are shifting their focus from trying to have a life full of fun and memories, to a life focused on documenting their memories and trying to prove to their followers how much fun they are having. We've all seen it done, and we've all done it ourselves. Have you ever taken a picture at a party or an event that wasn't even really that fun, but you posted it so it wouldn't look like you staved in? I know I have.
Remember that saying, "Pics or it didn't happen?" It may sound funny but it is so true. Our generation has gotten to the point where if you don't have a picture with your friends on a Saturday night or a tweet saying you were drunk, you might as well have just stayed home and done nothing because that is what people will assume.

and we can't continue to waste time staring at a screen. When we spend so much time trying to convince others that we have a fun life,we tend to miss moments in our lives.The next time you go out to dinner with your friends or you go to a party,put down the phone.
The people you actually choose to be with must be more important than what your followers see. Try sitting through a lecture without checking Twitter. Try having a meal without your phone at the table. You will be amazed at how much more you will get out of any scenario without your phone clouding your attention. Just enjoy the people and atmosphere in the room with you and you'll be surprised at how many more memories you end up leaving with.

Since the @KUBbathrooms Twitter account was launched Sept. 17, it has gained more than 700 followers.

Raleigh Prinster, a sophomore from Tucson, Ariz., majoring in sports management, is the founder and current operator of the Twitter account @KUBathrooms. The account tweets reviews of the bathrooms on campus that University students use the most. The reviews are either the work of Prinster himself or submissions from followers.
Kansan: What inspired you to create the account?
Prinster: One day one of my friends was asking where a good place to go to the bathroom was, and we were just talking about it in a group chat on iMessage, and he found a really good one. I thought it would be really funny to make an account, and it just took off really quickly.
kansan: Since starting the account, what has it been like to receive so many followers so quickly? (Less than a week after the account was created Sept. 17, it had surpassed 100 followers.)
Printer: It's pretty cool. I kind of wasn't expecting it to be this big so quick, I mean, I've done little accounts in the
past just with friends and they haven't worked out, so for this one to work out is kind of cool, just to have something go on like that.
Kansan: What do your friends think about it?
Prinster: They like it. They help me out with some of the reviews. If they go to a bathroom they're like, "Oh yeah, go here!" I've actually had friends tell me to not post about bathrooms because they love the bathroom, it's so quiet and all this. I'm like, "OK, I won't, I won't ruin your fun," but yeah, they love it, they take part in it, so it works out.
Printer: My personal fave ... I don't know ... Budig has a nice bathroom; it's big. Kind of reminds me of an airport a little bit. I guess that's the one I go to mainly, just because I have classes there.
Kansan: What's your favorite review that's been submitted?
Printer: There was one about a bathroom in Snow
Kansan: What do you think are the most important qualities for a bathroom to have to earn a good grade on the account?
Hall. I don't know exactly what the review said, but it said there was a window in one of the stalls, and you can just look out over one of the hills. I thought that was pretty cool, I'd never heard of a bathroom having a giant window like that.

Prinster: I'd say there's one in Wescoe, I think. I don't remember what floor, and it may have just been the time I was there, but there was only like one stall in it and two urinals and there was like 10 guys in there at once. I was like, this isn't a bathroom I want to be in.
New Twitter account @KUBathrooms reviews bathrooms across campus. It was started by Raleigh Prinster, a sophomore from Tucson, Ariz.
Printer: It's got to be pretty clean. You can't have like, super wet floors or anything. Not super cramped, the stall can't be too narrow. Got to have toilet paper and paper towels to wash your hands, and just be stocked up with all that good stuff. Just have a clean feel, or as clean as a bathroom can feel.
Kansan: What's the worst bathroom that you've used on campus?
Kansan: If you could add one thing to the bathrooms at KU, what would you put in?
Printer: TVs would be nice, just set on SportsCenter or something. That'd be pretty cool.

KU Alumni Association's third Hawktoberfest will honor the science behind brewing beer
DYLAN GUTHRIE
@dylangelo785
An unlikely pair, Boulevard Brewing and the KU Biodiversity Institute and Natural History Museum, has teamed up to provide an immersive event to University alumni. Tonight the KU Alumni Association will host the annual Hawktoberfest to honor the science of beer. The hands-on experience will be at Boulevard Brewing Company in Kansas City, Mo., from 5:30-8 p.m. All guests will receive a commemorative etched Hawktoberfest pint glass to take home with them.
University professors will explain biological processes that go into the brewing of beer while Kansas alumni enjoy Boulevard's brewing with an evening of beer tasting. Kansas alumna Jen Humphrey is the director of external affairs at the University's Biodiversity Institute and organizer for the event.
Humphrey said the reason that the biodiversity institute is partnering with the Alumni Association for Hawktoberfest is because many people are not aware of the work that more than 120 graduate students and faculty participate in. This event aims to highlight some of the University's achievements in the biodiversity field. One curator who will be speaking at Hawktoberfest is University professor Mike Mort, a botanist who works in the ecology department. Benjamin Sikes, a University professor and microbial ecologist, will also speak at the event. Sikes works in the same department as Mort and spe-

"Most of the work I do is on fungi that live in soil, and certainly we talk a lot in the biology of fungi class about yeast, and about how we use different kinds of fungi every day, everything from bread, to beer, to wine," Sikes said.
process of brewing beer. Sikes added that his personal favorite Boulevard beer is Boulevard Wheat, but he said he'll also drink a Tank Seven from time to time.
Sikes will focus on fungi while Mort will speak more about hops — both of which are integral ingredients to the
Humphrey said at Hawktoberfest people can drink Boulevard beer while KU professors show the plant materials that go into beer such as hops. These scientists will have information about hops and other plants that are biologically related to hops, such as cannabis. A microscope will be available for people to look more closely at hops.
"There will be a table set up for specimens so that people can get a little hands-on experience and that people can see how biodiversity plays a part in brewing," said Jaime Keeler, the assistant to Leonard Krishtalka, the director at the KU Biodiversity Institute.
Humphrey said although she is not personally a scientist, she's become interested in the biology of beer ever since she got on board with the planning of the event this year.
"One can study the relationship of a hop crop to all other plants that are known," she said. "By the same token, one can study yeast species and existing species to determine the relationships evolutionarily, as well as the relationships
of the past and today."
though Hawktoberfest is one of many events the Alumni Association does across the country, it is the center's most immediate Kansas City Chapter event, Humphrey said.
The Biodiversity Institute is also doing an event with the Alumni Association about the science of beer in Hays on Oct.16 and in Wichita on Nov. 19.
"This is an opportunity for us to meet people who have a passion for the craft of beer, and are interested in the science of that, and for them to learn about the science of biodiversity at the same time," Humphrey
said.
Humphrey said the KU Biodiversity Institute will be hosting a similar event for students who are of legal drinking age Oct. 18 called Party in the Panorama. The event will be hosted at the KU Natural History Museum. The panorama that the event's title refers to is a 120-year-old wildlife exhibit that is visible immediately when entering the museum. Tickets are $40 per person and $75 for couples. Humphrey said Party in the Panorama will be the Institute's biggest event of the year.

WWF study: Wildlife populations plummet for 3,000 species, blame human threats
ASSOCIATED PRESS
GENEVA — About 3,000 species of wildlife around the world have seen their numbers plummet far worse than previously thought, according to a new study by one of the world's biggest environmental groups.
The study Tuesday from the Swiss-based WWF largely blamed human threats to nature for a 52 percent decline in wildlife populations between 1970 and 2010.
It says improved methods of measuring populations of fish, birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles explain the huge difference from the 28-per
cent decline between 1970 and 2008 that the group reported in 2012.
"This damage is not inevitable but a consequence of the way we choose to live."
KEN NORRIS Science director at the London society
Most of the new losses were found in tropical regions, particularly Latin America.
WWF describes the study it has carried out every two years
"There is no room for complacency," said WWF International Director General Marco Lambertini, calling for a greater focus on sustainable solutions to the impact people are inflicting on nature, particularly through the release of greenhouse gases.
The latest "Living Planet" study analyzed data from about 10,000 populations of 3,038 vertebrate species from a database maintained by the Zoological Society of London. It is meant to provide a representative sampling of the overall wildlife population in the
since 1998 as a barometer of the state of the planet.
Much of the world's wildlife has disappeared in what have been called five mass extinctions, which were often associated with giant meteor strikes. About 90 percent of the world's species were wiped out around 252 million years ago. One such extinction about 66 million years ago killed off the dinosaurs and three out of four
It reflects populations since 1970, the first year the London-based society had comprehensive data. Each study is based on data from at least four years earlier.

species on Earth.
In the new WWF study, hunting and fishing along with continued losses and deterioration of natural habitats are identified as the chief threats to wildlife populations around the world. Other primary factors are global warming, invasive species, pollution and disease.
"This damage is not inevitable but a consequence of the way we choose to live," said Ken Norris, science director at the London society. "There is still hope. Protecting nature needs focused conservation action, political will and support from industry."

Wal-Mart: Morgan wasn't wearing seatbelt in crash
IF
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEWARK, N.J. — Actor-comedian Tracy Morgan and other people in a limousine struck from behind by a Wal-Mart truck on a highway in June are at least partly to blame for their injuries because they weren't wearing seatbelts, the company said in a court filing Monday.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The filing was made in federal court in response to a lawsuit Morgan filed in July over the accident, which killed his friend James McNair, who was accompanying the former "Saturday Night Live" and "30 Rock" star back from a show in Delaware. Morgan spent several weeks in rehab with rib and leg injuries.
Tracy Morgan is responding to allegations made by Wal-Mart in his lawsuit over a highway crash earlier this year that killed one of his friends.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc., based in Bentonville, Ark., said in the filing that the passengers' injuries were caused "in whole or in part" by their "failure to properly wear an appropriate available seatbelt restraint device," which it said constitutes unreasonable conduct.
An attorney representing Morgan and the other plaintiffs called Wal-Mart's contentions "surprising and appalling."
"It's disingenuous," attorney Benedict Morelli said. "It's not what they said they were going to do initially, which was take full responsibility. I'm very upset, not for myself but for the families I represent."
The lawsuits seeks a jury trial and punitive and compensatory damages. It says the retail giant should have known its truck driver had been awake for more than 24 hours before the crash and that his commute of 700 miles from his home in Georgia to work in Delaware was "unreasonable." It also alleges the driver fell asleep at the wheel.
Wal-Mart spokeswoman Brooke Buchanan said in an email that the company "continues to stand willing to work with Mr. Morgan and the other plaintiffs to resolve this matter."
Passengers Ardley Fuqua and Jeffrey Millea and Millea's wife, Krista Millea, also are named as plaintiffs in the lawsuit. Krista Millea was not
in the limousine when the crash occurred but is a plaintiff because she has a related loss-of-services lawsuit stemming from the crash.
Truck driver Kevin Roper, of Jonesboro, Georgia, pleaded not guilty to death by auto and assault by auto charges in state court. A criminal complaint also accuses him of not sleeping for more than 24 hours before the crash, a violation of New Jersey law.
A report by federal transportation safety investigators said Roper was driving 65 mph in the minute before he slammed into the limo van. The speed limit on that stretch of the New Jersey Turnpike is 55 mph and was lowered to 45 mph that night because of construction.
Roper had been on the job about 13 1/2 hours at the time of the crash, the report concluded. Federal rules permit truck drivers to work up to 14 hours a day, with a maximum of 11 hours behind the wheel.
If Katzenberg leaves, what will become of DreamWorks Animation?
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
Few executives in Hollywood are as closely associated with their companies as Jeffrey Katzenberg is with DreamWorks Animation.
Katzenberg, 63, founded the company with Steven Spielberg and David Geffen in 1994 and oversaw construction of its Tuscan-style, 13-acre campus in Glendale, Calif. He also transformed the studio into a top producer of animated movies.
More recently, he has been leading efforts to diversify the studio by expanding into television and other new businesses to reduce its reliance on animated movies.

Jeffrey Katzenberg arrives at the 85th annual Academy Awards at the Dolby Theatre at Hollywood Highland Center in Los Angeles.
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
Now, with the company seen as a possible acquisition target by Japanese telecommunications giant SoftBank Corp., the question is what will be the future of the company without Katzenberg?
"He's such a big personality, it's hard to know what happens when he goes," said Doug Creutz, a media analyst with Cowen & Co. "He has been the big creative vision and the strategic vision of the company. ... I do think that is the question."
DreamWorks shares Monday jumped 26 percent to $28.18 on this weekend's news that SoftBank was considering buying DreamWorks for $3.4 billion. SoftBank and DreamWorks representatives declined to discuss the talks. One person familiar with the situation said prospects for a deal were not certain and that negotiations seemed to have quieted Monday.
Damaschke, a 50-year-old Chicago native, joined
If a sale to SoftBank goes through, any deal probably would include a five-year management contract for Katzenberg, according to the person familiar with the situation, who was not authorized to speak publicly.
Even if the SoftBank deal should collapse, however, Katzenberg has been laying the foundation for his eventual exit and a transition to new leadership.
The once famously micro-managing executive has handed over day-to-day management to others, ceding more authority to his top lieutenants, studio President Ann Daly and Chief Creative Officer Bill Damaschke.
DreamWorks in 1995 as a production assistant before working his way up to become head of production for the studio. Daly, 58, is another DreamWorks veteran. A former executive at Disney Studios, where she worked with Katzenberg, Daly helped pioneer the home video industry. She joined DreamWorks in 1997, serving as chief operating officer and overseeing the company's entries into TV and other ventures.
Last year, Katzenberg recruited Michael Francis, a former Target Corp. executive, to head the studio's consumer products and branding efforts. He has also hired former Disney Studios executive Mark Zoradi to be chief operating officer, and brought Marjorie Cohn from Nickelodeon to run the studio's television group.
Katzenberg has "definitely been the face of the studio, but I've got to imagine the studio can survive without him," said Eric Wold, an analyst with B. Riley & Co. "They've got a great team there."
"He has put together a cadre of administrators, artists and storytellers which has great bench strength," said Kaplan, who is now a professor at the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism. "It's as close to a turnkey operation as you could get."
"He's such a big personality, it's hard to know what happens when he goes."
Martin Kaplan, who worked with Katzenberg at Walt Disney Co. years ago, said Katzenberg appears to have put a succession team in place.
DOUG CREUTZ Cowen & Co. media analyst
A former executive at Paramount, Katzenberg was part of the team led by Michael Eisner and Frank Wells that turned around a struggling Disney in the 1980s and 1990s.
With his famous work ethic, the brash young executive led the revival of Disney's once vaunted animation unit with such as hits as "The Lion King" and "The Little Mermaid."
Although DreamWorks never achieved its goals of creating a broad-based studio, the animation division, which was spun off into a separate company in 2004, became an archival to Disney.
But after a highly publicized clash with Eisner, Katzenberg
left Disney to launch his own studio with Spielberg and Geffen.
Luring many former colleagues from his former employer, Katzenberg single-handedly built the studio into a industry powerhouse, achieving success with the "Shrek,""Kung Fu Panda" and "Madagascar" movies.
In recent years, however, Katzenberg has faced growing questions from investors as the studio has struggled to replicate the success of its earlier films. The company has had three write-downs in two years for "Turbo," "Rise of the Guardians" and "Mr. Peabody and Sherman."
DreamWorks has had to contend with a growing number of rivals as others have muscled in on the lucrative animation business. Universal Pictures and Warner Bros. have scored some surprise box-office hits with the "Despicable Me" films and "The Lego Movie." And DreamWorks' next-door neighbor, Walt Disney Studios, is on a
"We have been inconsistent," Katzenberg acknowledged in an interview this year. "The only thing I can guarantee you is we are our harshest critics."
roll in the wake of "Frozen," the highest-grossing animated movie of all time.
What would Katzenberg do after DreamWorks? He would certainly have plenty of options.
certainly have plenty of options. Katzenberg is active in philanthropy circles and is one of the people Democrats court when they come to Hollywood to raise money. He is one of the top contributors to the Democratic Party and has the ability to put the arm on friends and colleagues when it's time to raise campaign cash. "For a person who can move a million miles a minute, it's a little hard to imagine him sitting on a veranda sipping something with an umbrella in it," Kaplan said.

THE DAILY DEBATE
Who should be the leading candidate for Kansas football head coach?
By Derek Skillett
@Derek Skillett
"JIM HARBAUGH"
On Sunday, Charlie Weis was fired from his position as head coach of the Kansas football team. Defensive coordinator Clint Bowen has taken his place as interim head coach for the rest of the season, but the search has begun for Weis' successor.
This may seem like a bit of a long shot, but Sheahon Zenger, the athletic director at the University, should make Jim Harbaugh the primary target for the next head coach.
Harbaugh is currently the coach for the San Francisco 49ers, but he is the best man for the job.
The Jayhawks are in a clear win-now mode. Harbaugh has shown that he can immediately win at both the college and professional level. As the head coach at Stanford University, he took the Cardinal to back-to-back bowl appearances, with a victory against Virginia Tech in the 2010 Orange Bowl. He has enjoyed even more success in the NFL.
Prior to Harbaugh becoming the coach in 2011, the San Francisco 49ers had languished in years of mediocrity. Once Harbaugh
took over as head coach, the 49ers put together a 13-3 season and nearly made an appearance in the Super Bowl, but lost to the New York Giants in the NFC Championship Game. In 2012, Harbaugh took San Francisco to the Super Bowl, losing to the Baltimore Ravens 34-31. In 2013, the 49ers went 12-4 and made a third-straight appearance in the NFC Championship game. Harbaugh was the first coach in NFL history to accomplish this feat.
If he becomes the next coach of the Jayhawks, Harbaugh could work wonders with sophomore quarterback Montell Cozart. Harbaugh has become known as something of a quarterback whisperer, turning Andrew Luck into a superstar at Stanford, reviving Alex Smith's seemingly dead career at San Francisco and turning Colin Kaepernick into
a top-15 NFL quarterback.
a top-15 NFL quarterback. It's not entirely unfeasible for Harbaugh to make his way to Kansas. Reports have surfaced from San Francisco that Harbaugh may be losing the faith of the 49ers locker room. There is a chance he could leave San Francisco at the conclusion of the 2014 season. Harbaugh was very close to becoming Mark Mangino's successor at Kansas in 2009 before returning to Stanford.
Harbaugh also has ties to the area. His wife currently works in Kansas City, as do most of his in-laws. In fact, Harbaugh was in Lawrence earlier this year to watch the Texas Tech vs. Kansas basketball game in Allen Fieldhouse.
These reasons provide a small semblance of hope that Harbaugh could bring his football coaching talents to Lawrence.

@awagonex23
As the Kansas football team looks for a coach to replace Charlie Weis in the next several months, there are several important factors to consider.
First, Kansas football needs someone who can get the most out of the quarterback position. Since Todd Reesing, the Jayhawks haven't had someone under center who commands the kind of respect needed in the Big 12. The new coach needs to have proven success getting a field general to perform at a high level.
Second, the offense needs to be more explosive. Since Mark Mangino was at Kansas, the offensive units
have been fairly stagnant. Granted, there have been some talented running backs as of late, but the unit as a whole has been underwhelming.
Third, and probably the most important, the new coach has strong recruiting ties to the state of Texas. I understand there are talented players all over the country, and the JUCO transfer model is something to be cherished, but everything in Big 12 football starts in Texas.
With all of those factors in mind, there is one coach at the top of my list. When athletic director Sheahon Zenger begins going through his search, a certain coach will be on his radar.
云
DAILY DEBATE RESULTS: SEPT. 29, 2014
That coach is Phil Montgomery, the current offensive coordinator of the Baylor Bears. The Bears have ranked in the top 10 offensively since 2008 when he arrived with Art Briles. In the past three seasons, they have ranked first, second and second.
Will the Royals win the World Series this year?
who won the Heisman Trophy in 2011; Nick Florence, who was an Honorable Mention All-American in his only season as a starting quarterback; and first-year starter Bryce Petty, who Montgomery coached to Big 12 Player of the Year last year.
Montgomery has coached for about 19 years, and every single one of those years has been in the state of Texas. He began at his alma mater Tarleton State University, coached at Stephenville High School, then he followed Briles to Houston and eventually Baylor. In other words, the guy has some experience with Texas recruiting. He knows the area and is familiar with the pipelines within the state.
12 PEOPLE POLLED
NO: 75%
As a quarterback coach Montgomery has been one of the best in the country during that stretch. In three straight seasons he has coached a different quarterback to national prestige. Those names include Robert Griffin III,
YES: 25%
VOTE FOR THE WRITER WITH THE MOST CONVINCING ARGUMENT AT KANSAN.COM
Florence, in an ESPN article, touted Montgomery as a player's coach, a guy who knows exactly what to say to get the most out of his guys without yelling in their face. He is known as a reserved guy and someone who likes to be behind the scenes.
It may be hard to pull him out of a great situation in Baylor but if the University wants a coach to change the tide of jayhawk football, Montgomery just might be the perfect coach to do it.

Chiefs offense hums in 41-14 rout of Patriots
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY. Mo. — Perhaps the Kansas City Chiefs gave their neighbors across the parking lot a little bit of inspiration with their impassioned performance against New England.
Jamaal Charles returned from an ankle injury to score three touchdowns, Alex Smith threw for 248 yards and three scores, and the Chiefs routed the Patriots 41-14 Monday night, getting the sports week off to a smashing start in Kansas City with the Royals preparing to open the baseball playoffs on Tuesday.
"To have back-to-back events like this, Monday night football and a home playoff game, yeah, it's special," Smith said. "Right next door to each other."
Arrowhead Stadium, which was packed to the brim in red-clad Chiefs fans, is just a short walk from Kauffman Stadium, which will surely be packed with blue when the Royals end a 29-year playoff drought against the Oakland Athletics in the AL wild-card game.
Several members of the Royals even showed up for the Chiefs-Patriots game, including starting pitcher James Shields, drawing huge roars when they were shown on the big screens. And some of the Chiefs said they were thinking about returning the favor, including wide receiver Dwayne Bowe.
Regardless, the Chiefs will be able to spend Tuesday in a celebratory mood.
They held the Patriots' Tom Brady to 159 yards passing and a touchdown, picking him off twice and returning one for a touchdown. Brady was also strip-sacked by Tamba Hali to set up a Chiefs field goal,
capping off a miserable night for the two-time NFL MVP.
"It was just a bad performance by everybody," Brady said. "We need to make sure we never have this feeling again. We've got to figure out what we have to do better."
The Chiefs forced the Patriots to air it out by stuffing Shane Vereen and Stevan Ridley. And when Brady dropped back, their front seven ran roughshod over New England's suspect offensive line.
It hardly helped the Patriots offense that it was trying to operate on the same night Chiefs fans were trying to reclaim the record for loudest outdoor sports venue. The record was set in the first half, when Guinness World Records noted a noise level of 142.2 decibels — breaking the mark of 137.6 that Seattle Seahawks fans set last season.
"My ears are still ringing," Chiefs coach Andy Reid said with a smile.
Kansas City had 303 yards of offense by halftime, the most against any Belichick-coached team in the first half of a game. That includes his years coaching in Cleveland.
"We just never got anything going. Nothing," Patriots defensive tackle Vince Wilford said. "They just executed. They executed perfectly. We were always out of the game, it seemed."
Charles looked just fine on his sprained right ankle, running for 92 yards. He was spelled by Knile Davis, who added 107 yards on 16 carries. "We, kept each other fresh," Davis said. "When he went in, he did his thing. When I went
Here are a few of the reasons why the Patriots were thumped so soundly:
RUN. RUN. RUN:
in, I did my thing."
TENSE MOMENT:
Charles briefly went to the locker room after stumbling into the end zone on his third touchdown of the game. He appeared to grab his hamstring, and Reid said he received an IV, indicating that he might have been cramping. "I feel sore," Charles admitted afterward.
BRADY'S STRUGGLES:
Brady is completing just 59 percent of his passes through his first four games, his worst rate since becoming the Patriots' starter in 2001. He is also averaging less than 200 yards passing per game. "I wouldn't say we've had a very productive four games to start, but hopefully we can learn from it and understand the things that we're doing wrong," he said. "There's nobody going to dig us out of the hole. We've made of created it for ourselves and we're going to have to look each other in the eye and see what kind of commitment we're willing to make."
KELCE STARS:
Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, who is quickly becoming one of Smith's favorite targets, had eight catches for 93 yards and a touchdown. "We know what we can do on our offense and our defense," Kelce said. "Our defense got a lot of turnovers today, and that was awesome to see."
GAROPPOLO PLAYS:
Rookie quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo got into the game in the fourth quarter for New England, when the outcome was already decided. He was 6 of 7 for 70 yards with a touchdown. "I am a relief pitcher, pretty much," he said, "so that is my job."

John Reagan, center, Kansas football's offensive coordinator, will be in the box during Saturday's West Virginia game. Interim head coach Clint Bowen said the bird's-s eye view will help the offense make adjustments.
Saturday's game will be different without Weis
Twenty years ago, Clint Bowen, a then-graduate assistant for the Kansas football program, found himself on a date with his now-wife at an ice cream parlor on 23rd and Iowa streets. He told her his ultimate dream job was to be the head coach of the lajhawks.
SHANE JACKSON
@iacksonshane3
Sunday morning. Bowen's dream became a reality.
"To be standing here today is truly one of the greatest honors I've ever had in my life," Bowen said Monday when he first addressed the media. "I'm prepared for this job."
After posting a 6-22 record in two seasons and four games, Charlie Weis was fired Sunday morning, following a 23-0 loss to the Texas Longhorns in the conference season opener. To lead the charge of a 2-2 Kansas team, athletic director Sheahon Zenger promoted Bowen from defensive coordinator to interim head coach. Zenger will begin the search for the next head coach. In the meantime, Bowen will have eight games to prove why he's the ideal candidate.
Defense has been Bowen's football calling card for as long as he can remember, so it will be an adjustment for him as he has more offensive input going forward.
"I have [gone] down and
But it may come down to what he can do on the offensive end that determines the result of his eight-game audition for his dream job.
visited with John [Reagan], and I have no ideas for him," Bowen said. "I'm no help."
Also, press conferences with Weis typically lasted around 45 minutes and were filled with sarcastic answers. Bowen's press conference Tuesday was half that time and filled with spirit.
Other adjustments are the changes in coaching styles. In just a few days, Bowen has already shown tremendous differences from Weis.
For example, during press conferences, Bowen stands behind a podium, whereas Weis rocked side to side in his chair on wheels.
But the most intriguing change between the two coaches involves offensive coordinator John Reagan. Under Weis' coaching, Reagan called the plays on the sideline, but Bowen has a different idea for Reagan on game days.
"Hes going to go upstairs into the box and call the game up there," Bowen said. "Which I think he feels is more comfortable for him."
Being in the press box is nothing new to Reagan as that is what he did when he served as offensive coordinator at Rice University before coming to Kansas. The change is
"We are a youthful or inexperienced offense," Reagan said. "I think I can help us more by being upstairs. I think I can help us more by taking some of the decisions out of the quarterbacks' hands."
supposed to help the offense make adjustments during the game with Reagan looking from a birds-eye view.
"The kid is working as hard as he can to improve each week, and we're all behind him." Bowen said.
Sophomore quarterback Montell Cozart hasn't shown the strongest offense. Despite throwing a career-high four interceptions against Texas, Bowen is confident this will change.
Bowen's coaching will be put to the test in his first game Saturday at 3 p.m. when Kansas travels to West Virginia. The Jayhawks defeated the Mountaineers in their lone conference victory last season; the win snapped a 27-game conference losing streak.
This week, the Jayhawks will try to snap a 28-game road losing streak.
"We're going to address that during the week," Bowen said. "We're going to begin working on every single day to go on the road in a difficult situation and be mentally tough enough to come out of it."

Texas Tech could start freshman QB at K-State
LUBBOCK, Texas — Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury has been here before.
The Red Raiders second-year coach has worked with four freshmen starting quarterbacks in the past, mostly with success.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Heading into a matchup at No. 23 Kansas State on Saturday, Kingsbury might have to start freshman Patrick Mahomes, the Texas Associated Press Sports Editors football player of the year in 2013 — in high school.
Sophomore starter Davis Webb is probably a game-day decision after a shoulder injury to his non-throwing arm in the fourth quarter of Texas Tech's 45-35 loss at Oklahoma State last week.
"Just make sure he can protect himself, really, and operate at a level we need him to operate," Kingsbury said of what it would take for Webb to play. "But more than anything, that he can handle taking a hit and protect himself."
A sizeable threat to Webb could be Kansas State defensive end Ryan Miller, who needs one more sack to enter the career top 10 for the Wild
Kingsbury's has had success with previous freshman quarterbacks. He coached David Piland at Houston in 2010, Johnny Manziel in 2012 at Texas A&M and Webb and Baker Mayfield, who transferred to Oklahoma, last year.
cats (3-1, 1-0 Big 12).
He scrambled up the middle on third-and-14 and landed awkwardly on his left forearm. He left the field briefly with trainers holding his left arm gingerly.
Webb, who ranks eighth nationally in passing yards per game (339 yards), was not made available to reporters after Monday's practice. Kingsbury said Webb's shoulder was sore Sunday, three days after the Red Raiders (2-2, 0-1) lost in Stillwater.
This season, it's Mahomes, the son of Pat Mahomes, who played for six major league baseball teams in an 11-year career. After Webb went out, Mahomes rushed for 16 yards on seven carries and threw for one TD and an interception.
Mahomes is a dual-threat quarterback, but nothing like Manziel, Kingsbury said. Mahomes' strength is at extending plays.
knack," he said. "Anytime we put him in, it's not always pretty, but finds a way to move the ball down and put it in the end zone."
"I think he just has that
Mahomes figured pitching in baseball — he also played basketball at Whitehouse in East Texas — was his only option beyond high school. But a Texas Tech assistant just happened to be there when Mahomes had an impressive game in a stainstorm and took over the starting job in the third game of his junior season, after playing safety his sophomore year.
Bradley Marquez, who leads the Red Raiders' receiving corps with six touchdowns, said Mahomes is no stranger to starting games.
Kingsbury's biggest concern with Mahomes is protecting the football, "as you are with any of those young quarterbacks."
"That being his first real (college) game action, I mean, it's to be expected that things may not run as smoothly as maybe they would with Davis, obviously," the senior receiver said. "There are obviously going to be nerves, but from the perspective as a teammate, I felt like he wanted to go out there and do his absolute best."
Olympian Michael Phelps apologizes for DUI arrest
PARKSIDE
ASSOCIATED PRESS
In this April 18, 2005, file photo, Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps speaks to a group of seniors at Parkside High School in Salisbury, MD., as part of his sentence after pleading guilty to a DUI charge. Authorities say Phelps has been arrested on a second DUI charge in Maryland. Transit police say they stopped the 29-year-old Phelps at the Fort McHenry Tunnel in Baltimore around 1:40 a.m. Tuesday.
I ASSOCIATED PRESS
Michael Phelps' comeback has been sidetracked by more trouble away from the pool.
The Olympic champion was arrested for the second time on DUI charges early Tuesday in his hometown of Baltimore, another embarrassment for a swimmer who came out of retirement this year with his sights set on competing at the Rio Games.
It's too early to say if Phelps might face sanctions from USA Swimming, which took no action after his 2004 arrest but suspended him from competition for three months over the pot picture.
The arrest came about a month after the 29-year-old Phelps won three golds and two silvers at the Pan Pacific Championships in Australia, setting himself up to compete at next summer's world championships and at Rio in 2016.
Phelps issued an apology that sounded very familiar to the ones he made after a drunken-driving arrest a decade ago, as well as when a British tabloid published a photograph in 2009 that showed him using a marijuana pipe.
"I understand the severity of my actions and take full responsibility," Phelps said in a statement. "I know these words may not mean much right now but I am deeply sorry to everyone I have let down."
Maryland Transportation Authority police charged the 18-time gold medalist after officers said he was caught speeding and failed field sobriety tests.
"The news regarding Michael Phelps and his actions are disappointing and
unquestionably serious," the national governing body said in a statement. "We expect our athletes to conduct themselves responsibly in and out of the pool."
The U.S. Olympic Committee had a similar reaction. CEO Scott Blackmun said the organization was "surprised" by Phelps' arrest and "disappointed on a number of fronts."
"I understand the severity of my actions and take full responsibility."
MICHAEL PHELPS Olympic champion swimmer
Phelps was charged with driving under the influence, excessive speed and crossing double lane lines in the Fort McHenry Tunnel on Interstate 95 in Baltimore, according to the Maryland Transportation Agency.
If convicted on the DUI charge, he would face a maximum penalty of a year in jail, a $1,000 fine and the loss of his driver's license for six months. Under Maryland law, the latest case is not considered a second offense because his first DUI conviction occurred more than five years ago.
Phelps could face the wrath of his sponsors, though there was no immediate word of any company planning to drop him.
"It's too early to tell," said Don Rockwell, the CEO of Phelps' new swimsuits sponsor, California-based Aqua Sphere. "For the most part, we're supportive. We just need to wait and see
what happens. This is not a deal-breaker for us, unless we find out something else that happened."

Phelps also has deals with Subway, Under Armour, Omega and Master Spas.
QUC
In early August, Phelps announced he was ending his long relationship with Speedo to sign the deal with Aqua Sphere. Just last week, according to Rockwell, company officials were in Baltimore working with Phelps on the sizing of his new suit, which he can begin wearing at meets starting Jan. 1.
A Maryland Transportation Authority police officer was using radar about 1:40 a.m. when Phelps' white 2014 Land Rover came through the tunnel at 84 mph in a 45-mph zone, the agency said in a statement.
The officer stopped Phelps just beyond the tunnel's toll plaza.
First, he must deal with a more serious issue.
Kelly Melhem, a spokesperson for the transportation agency, said department vehicles are equipped with in-car video recording devices. Officials were trying to determine if there was footage of Phelps' arrest, which could be used as evidence if the case goes to trial.
FA
"Mr. Phelps was identified as the driver by his driver's license and appeared to be under the influence," the statement said. "He was unable to perform satisfactorily a series of standard field sobriety tests."
The statement said Phelps was cooperative during his arrest. He was taken to an authority station and later released.

Kansas football has left a let to be desired during the opening month of the season. The
month of the season. The season began with a narrow victory against Southeast Missouri State followed by a Week 2 trip to Durham, where the Duke Blue Devils made things pretty ugly for Kansas fans in a 41-3 Jayhawk loss. In Week 3, Kansas failed to impress but managed to come away with a 14-point victory against Central Michigan — a threatening Mid-American Conference team.
Then came last week, the beginning of conference play and a major turning point in the season. The Jayhawks looked good early on against Texas but were eventually shut out 23-0. Consequently, Charlie Weis was fired as head coach Sunday morning.
By Sam Davis
@Davis Samuel
Eight games remain in the Jayhawks season, and they will have to win half those games to become bowl eligible. Five of Kansas' eight remaining games will be played against opponents that are currently ranked, and the team's other three opponents are certainly
not soft.
New interim coach Clint Bowen brings passion, energy and a defensive mindset to the Kansas sideline that can hopefully lead the Jayhawks to a few more wins. The team currently sits at 2-2, so let's take a look ahead and see if we can find any more wins in the football team's menacing schedule.
It's going to take a small miracle if Bowen wants to return to Lawrence victorious after his first game this weekend when the Jayhawks head to Morgantown to take on West Virginia. The Mountaineers, like the Jayhawks, are also 2-2. However, West Virginia's two losses came from the hands of
two top-five teams in Alabama and Oklahoma. Their losses were also close games; they lost by an average of 11 points.
points. Last season, Kansas shocked the Mountaineers in a game that resulted in swimming goal posts. But this West Virginia team is stronger and ready to play.
The following week the team returns home for a matchup against Oklahoma State, a team that is currently ranked No.21 in the nation. The Cowboys average 40 points per contest and feature a passing offense that averages nearly 300 yards per game. This game may stay close for a quarter, but things could easily get out of hand.
The next matchup comes on the road against Texas Tech and provides one of the best opportunities for success this season. The Jayhawks can suppress the Red Raiders' passing game that averages 344 yards per game, Kansas could get its first Big 12 road victory since 2009.
to take on the Baylor Bears and visit the new McLane Stadium. The Bears are currently ranked No.7 in the nation, so admiring the new architecture may be the best part of the trip to Waco, Texas.
Kansas will then head back to Texas
The matchup Nov. 8 against Iowa State could be the best chance the Jayhawks get to win the rest of the season. Bowen will face an interesting challenge as head of the defense against former Kansas coach Mark Mangino, Iowa State's offensive coordinator.
The next three weeks include a home game against TCU followed by two road games against No.4 Oklahoma and No.23 Kansas State.
Jayhawk football will most likely win only one or two games the rest of the season. The silver lining is there are plenty of opportunities for miraculous upsets, and the team has a new coach who provides a small bit of hope for the near future.

COMMENTARY
Big man recruit Cheick Diallo considers Kansas
The 2015 basketball recruiting class is predominantly made up of
By Ben Felderstein
@ Ben Felderstein
big men, 10 out of the top 15 players in the class are either centers or power forwards. The No.4-ranked power forward in the class, Cheick Diallo is the seventh overall prospect in the country.
Diallo is from Our Savior New American School in Centerreach, N.Y. Diallo visited Lawrence on Sept. 19 and has made three other previous visits.
Diallo seems to have narrowed his selection down to Kansas, Kentucky, Iowa State, St. John's and Pittsburgh. The big man from New York has hosted coaches from Iowa State, Kansas and Kentucky.
St. John's is able to provide Diallo with a hometown pitch, while it might not have as competitive of a program as the other four schools.
Diallo is on a long list of big men coach Bill Self is looking at this recruiting season. Self has had success recruiting big men in the past, for example, Cole Aldrich, Jeff Withey, Thomas Robinson, Joel Embiid and now Cliff Alexander.
Future150.com describes Diallo as an aggressive big man who has dramatically improved his offensive game. He has a lot of energy and has the potential to be a difference maker on the defensive and offensive sides of the ball.
The future of Jayhawk big men is uncertain. Cliff Alexander has said he is open to staying in college for more than one season, but his talent points in a different direction.
Junior Jamari Traylor is another question that could affect recruiting. If Traylor steps into a bigger role and becomes a starter, the Jayhawks may not need to recruit Diallo, on top of Stephen Zimmerman and Diamond Stone.
The 2015 recruiting class is up in the air. Kansas, Kentucky and Duke are leading the way to almost recruiting the entire top 10, but only time will tell.

Javhawks take 0-1 conference record into Sunflower Showdown
MATT CORTE
@Corte UDK
After losing to Oklahoma in the first conference match Saturday night, Kansas volleyball now finds itself in a bit of a must-win situation Wednesday against Kansas State.
It might sound baffling that the Jayhawks would be in a must-win match so early in the season, but seeing that they play two-time reigning Big 12 champion Texas Sunday, it means getting a conference win now becomes all the more important.
If Kansas fails to beat K-State Wednesday and then goes on to lose against Texas, it would
be the first time the layhawks started conference play 0-3 since 2011. That season, the team finished with its worst Big 12 record in the past seven seasons, going 3-13.
Taking into account that Texas hasn't lost three conference matches since 2006 means Kansas needs a win against its in-state rivals even more so.
Freshman setter Ainise Havili talked Tuesday about the match against K-State, noting how big the game will be for the upperclassmen.
"We definitely need to get back on track, and get a win," Havili said. "It's a big deal to the upperclassmen, but I'm
Senior outside hitters Chelsea Albers and Sara McClinton have a chance to become the first Jayhawks with a winning record against K-State in the coach Ray Bechard era, or since 1998.
sure it'll be a bigger deal for the freshmen as the years go by."
By beating K-State, it would give the two girls five wins against only two losses, which would also secure a career plus .500 winning margin against the Wildcats.
Getting that win will be easier said than done, as K-State has started off its season in winning fashion like the Jayhawks, going 13-2.
Just like Kansas, K-State also lost its conference opener, falling to Baylor at home in five sets.
Last season, the Wildcats were led by two-time All-American Kaitlynn Pelger, who has since graduated, leaving a giant hole on the team.
Now, K-State has turned its offense to outside hitters Kylee Zumah and Brooke Sassin.
Both players are currently in the top 10 of the Big 12 for kills per set, with Zumach leading the team at 3.60, which is good for third in the Big 12. Sassin comes in at 3.16, which stands at seventh
in the Big 12.
K-State's redshirt setter Katie Brand has been just as impressive, averaging 11.18 assists per set, just 07 ahead of Kansas setter Ainise Havili.
The Jayhawks are 4-0 in the past four Sunflower Showdown matches, and can win five straight against K-State for the first time since 1991. 1993.
All that remains to be seen is if Kansas can continue its winning trend against the Wildcats.

Bowen must tackle more in new position
DANIEL HARMSEN
@UDK DAN
After being named interim head coach Sunday, defensive coordinator Clint Bowen has an extra ball to juggle as he heads into one of his toughest challenges of the young 2014 season.
Along with trying to stop a West Virginia offense that boasts the league's leader in total offense, quarterback Clint Trickett (395 yards per game), Bowen will be running practices and managing the gameplan on Saturday.
of the half kind of deal."

"I am still going to stay very active and I'm going to call the defense for the game," Bowen said. "We've implemented some plans on how we're going to handle the game management situations that come up, whether it be a 'go for it on a 4th down,' take a time-out here' or clock management toward the end
With an impromptu press conference on Monday morning announcing the coaching change, the Big 12 coaches teleconference, a Hawk Talk radio show, Tuesday's West Virginia press conference, and a football team to coach, Bowen has hardly had time to breathe. But he has made it through. The Lawrence native credits current defensive backs coach, Dave Campo, for easing the hectic transition to head coach. Like Bowen, who spent most of his time in football as an assistant coach, Campo was named the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys from 2000-2002.
"Dave (Campo) has been a tremendous resource for us," Bowen said. "The years of experience that he brings, it's always a comforting sight to see him when you come in there and you have something

on your mind and you know you can bounce it off of Dave and come up with an answer that comes from years of experience and wisdom."
Bowen's defense has allowed the sixth least points per game in the conference (25.5), but square off against a Mountaineer team that has scored 37.5 per contest.
Interim head coach Clint Bowen will be juggling more than usual in Saturday's game. He will be running practices and managing the gameplan
"They are very potent," Bowen said of West Virginia. "They're averaging 400 yards passing a game, the quarterback is playing exceptionally well. [The offensive linemen] look like they must have some nastiness to them. They play hard, they play downhill, they're a physical bunch."

to this team," Bowen said. "As a player on this team you have a responsibility to do everything in your power to help, and that's every single one of us, and you will see first-line guys on [special teams]."
Bowen said starting Sunday, the team had a clean slate top to bottom.
"There's going to be some
guys that earn things." Bowen said. "In this program no one — players, coaches, everything is going to be earned. If they earn them they'll be rewarded. If they don't take advantage of it, then they won't get the rewards that they hoped to get"

Soccer players receive weekly Big 12 honors
IREN CARROLL
@BCarroll91
Junior midfielder Liana Salazar and senior goalkeeper Kaitlyn Stroud of the University's soccer team won offensive and defensive players of the week, respectively, the Big 12 Conference announced Tuesday.
Salazar, who leads the Big 12 with eight goals, ignited the offense this weekend in Texas, recording a goal and an assist. It is the second time this season the junior has won the award. Stroud has won the award two previous times. Both players have played a crucial part in the team's successful 11-1 start.
Friday night against Baylor, Salazar scored the eventual game-winning goal in the 19th minute. The effort helped secure Kansas' first conference victory of the season. The Bogotá, Colombia, native added her second assist of the season less than six minutes into Sunday's match with a cross to her teammate, senior midfielder Jamie Fletcher. Fletcher then redirected the pass in between the pipes to facilitate Kansas' sweep of the first two conference games last weekend.
Coach Mark Francis has said all season that Salazar is a unique player and can create very dangerous offensive attacks.
"[Liana] is that type of
player, she can pull special things like that out," Francis said in an interview after Kansas defeated Wyoming.
Stroud is off to arguably her best season in the net for the crimson and blue, recording 10 wins with seven of those being shutouts. She hasn't allowed an opposing team to score more than once in any game this season.
This weekend, Stroud added two shutouts against conference foes Baylor and Texas Christian University. Friday night Stroud saved seven of the Bears' shots in a 1-0 win in Waco, Texas, and followed it up with another perfect outing Sunday recording another seven saves in a 2-0 triumph against TCU.
She brought down her goals-against percentage to 0.36, and her save percentage is up to .926. Both marks lead the Big 12 and place her inside the top 10 in the NCAA.
Francis said Stroud's presence in the goal has been a vital factor to the team all season long.
"There have been games where she's pulled out some big saves at really, really key times of the game," Francis said after Sunday's win. "It's nice to know, we haven't given up too many goals, but once they do get past the defense and create an opportunity, she makes it really tough for them to finish [with a goal]."

The University and the Lawrence Police Department are currently investigating sexual assault allegations against Kappa Sigma. A statement released by the chancellor said the fraternity was placed on interim suspension.
Fraternity suspended over sexual assault allegations
AMELIA ARVESEN
@AmeliaArvesen
The University and the Lawrence Police Department are investigating sexual assault allegations reported after a Kappa Sigma fraternity party this weekend at the chapter house, 1045 Emery Rd., according to a press release from the Lawrence Police Department.
Kappa Sigma fraternity was placed on interim suspension over the allegations, according to a statement released by Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little on Wednesday morning.
"We took this action due to disturbing and serious allegations of sexual assault occurring during a party at this fraternity this past weekend," Gray-Little said in the news release. "These allegations were reported to local law enforcement and to Institutional Opportunity and Access."
Gray-Little approved the interim suspension on Tuesday evening and Kappa Sigma officially received a letter of suspension Wednesday morning, said Erinn Barcomb-Peterson, director of news and media relations. Suspension means Kappa Sigma cannot continue with fraternal activities, including chapter meetings.
"If there is a situation
"If there is a situation that occurs, we go in, we investigate and we take the necessary actions."
MITCHELL WILSON Executive director
The letter, from Tammara Durham, vice provost for student affairs, said the University became aware of allegations of sexual misconduct in the fraternity house on or about Sept.28.
"During this Interim Suspension (sic) the organization is ineligible to receive any additional services of the University or participate in any of its activities. I highly suggest that you suspend all Chapter activity. The Chapter membership in the Interfraternity Council is suspended," said the letter hand-delivered to Jack Schwartz, chapter president of Kappa Sigma fraternity.
The letter said Kappa Sigma is entitled to a hearing within five days of being placed on interim suspension and in that time "the organization will have the opportunity to demonstrate why its continued presence on campus does not constitute a danger, or threat of danger, to others."
A press release issued by the Lawrence Police Department
The University will gather facts related to allegations before the hearing, according to the letter. In the hearing, any necessary sanctions and permanent suspension will be determined.
Mitchell Wilson, executive director of Kappa Sigma Fraternity Headquarters in Charlottesville, Va., said he learned about the allegations Wednesday morning and an investigation has been launched to determine if there has been a violation of fraternity policy. He said he is unsure how much time they will need.
"If there is a situation that occurs, we go in, we investigate and we take the necessary actions," Wilson said.
at 4:35 p.m. Wednesday indicated that a student reported the sexual assault late Saturday evening. The LPD was contacted Monday morning with the allegation, including reference to sexual contact having occurred while the victim was impaired.
The release said detectives have been working to locate others who may have been at the party or have information about what occurred. No arrests have been made at this time.
Captain James Anguiano from the KU Office of Public Safety said the office does not have any involvement in the fraternity's suspension and investigation.
Sgt. Trent McKinley was not able to be reached for additional comment before this article was published.
Barcomb-Peterson said the
University is not discussing specifics of the case to maintain the integrity of the investigations. She said now is when bystander intervention becomes critical.
Anyone with information about this particular case, or any other case, should contact the Lawrence Police Department at (785) 832-7509 and the Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access at (785) 864-6414.
The University remains on the list of 76 other universities under investigation for handlings of sexual assault complaints.

City commission lifts restrictions on food trucks
JAMES LAMB
@thejameslamb
Last week, the city commission voted unanimously to pass an amendment to the city code lifting many of the restrictions on mobile food vendors. Food trucks will to benefit from these changes that allow for longer hours, freedom to operate in more locations and the ability to gather with other food trucks in a single space.
Previously, there was a limit of three operating hours per day at any single property, a prohibition on operating out of a vacant lot, and a restriction preventing more than two food trucks from operating on the same property. Now, these can all be lifted with the submission of a site plan to the city of Lawrence that outlines the specifics of how a site with food trucks may operate.
"[The food truck growth] leads to jobs, that leads to people coming in and setting up their startup companies."
TONY KRSNICH Local developer
"Things like food trucks are interesting enough and creative enough that we're going to see a catalytic effect in the Warehouse Arts District, and that's going to spread into the city of Lawrence," said local developer Tony Krsnich. "We're talking about culinary arts, quality affordable food, and that's going to bring interest, and that's going to bring people."
The food truck industry stands to benefit greatly from the easing of restrictions, as well as the city, Krsnich said, particularly the developing Warehouse Arts District. Located between 8th and 9th streets, and Delaware and Pennsylvania streets, this area of east Lawrence is where Krsnich is already planning to open a bistro with a food truck incorporated into it for the end of the year.
"[The changes] are going to have an immediate impact on the Warehouse Arts District, but I think it's going to have an impact beyond [that]," Krsnich said. "[The food truck growth] leads to jobs, that leads to people coming in and setting up their startup companies. The research I've done shows that there's an incredible opportunity for a snowball effect."
Lawrence City Commissioner Bob Schumm said there is a concern that the easing of restrictions could, if not properly monitored, lead to a food truck

said. "A lot of them can't move and haven't moved in years, and they're just shells stuck on vacant lots. I don't think that would be appropriate for Lawrence. I think we're a little bit classier than that kind of scene."

The amendments require food trucks to remain in good condition and capable of movement to avoid some of the issues experienced in Portland.
"[The amendment is] so new, we've just got to work our way through it, and see how things are going to work and make adjustments as we move along so that everyone benefits from it," Schumm said.
Still, Schumm said that food trucks in Lawrence are an evolving issue.

After a long debate within Student Rights Committee, the bill to create a social equity director failed and will not go on to full Student Senate next week.
It would have created a paid position within the Student Senate executive staff for an individual who would have been the sole representative for students with social equity issues.
The bill received a 15-12 vote with no abstentions. It required a two-thirds majority to pass.

This year would have been a pilot year for the position and then the executive staff would have planned to evaluate how successful the position was at the end of the year before they moved forward
Those who were hesitant about the bill were concerned with the specific roles this person would fulfill and wondered if the work would be necessary for a paid position. Lauren Arney, chair of the University Affairs Committee said although she had nothing against social equity, she pointed out that there is currently a standing committee, the Multicultural Affairs Committee, whose job is to provide representation and assist the same group of students as the social equity director would.

Student Body Vice President Miranda Wagner and Chief of Staff Mitchell Cota wrote and presented the bill and both said they were disappointed with the outcome.

The same bill passed unanimously in the Multicultural Affairs Committee two weeks earlier.
last year during the campaign season, we had a ton of support so it's not great that we can't deliver on this at this time but obviously we're going to find ways to make sure that we're fulfilling that promise of equity," Wagner said.
The bill previously went through the previous senate cycle and passed in Rights but due to confusion during the original vote, the Committee believed it had failed until Student Body President Morgan Said, Wagner and Cota went back later that night to recount the votes. Last week, instead of presenting the bill to full senate, Said asked for the bill to be sent back to Rights Committee for transparency.

Selecting a dining plan prior to coming to Kansas is a gamble for some students. Despite a large number of students who take a liking to the dining hall food, there are some who cannot say the same. Others simply don't have the time to take full advantage of their allotted meals.
To counter these issues, students are allowed to alter their meal plans up to two weeks into the semester.
Sheryl Kidwell, assistant director of KU Dining Services, said less than 7 percent of students changed their dining plans this year.
"Currently, we have around 4,000 dining plans." Kidwell said. "In the years past, the amount of students who've altered their plans has stayed around the current 7 percent."
Sarah Smoot, a freshman from Lawrence who lives in Gertrude Sellards Pearson Hall, said she doesn't like the food at North College Cafe, GSP's dining service. Smoot was too late when wanting to downsize her meal plan, since deadline was Sept. 5, so she said she settles for sandwiches and salads.
"It messes with my digestive system and I cannot get enough energy from it," Smoot said. "I wish I would've gotten
a smaller meal plan," Smoot said.
Other students who live in GSP like Miranda Trible from Valley Center, don't find the food to be bad, but Trible said she finds it repetitive.
"I feel like it's the same thing every night: an Asian dish with rice, or some over-cooked 'American' meal," Trible said.
As far as breakfast goes, Trible said it made her sick one morning. Kidwell said complaints like those of Smoot and Trible do not go unnoticed and all comments are followed up and responded to accordingly.
"Like any food service, we get complaints," Kidwell said. "We not only welcome customer feedback, but we ask for it through annual surveys, conducting focus groups, listening to student input through social media, manager one-on-one interactions, and more."
Sarah Anderson, a freshman from Rogers, Ark., and Ian Hierl, a freshman from Lawrence, said Mrs. E's is fine. Coincidentally, the two are both vegetarians.
Across campus from NCC, students dine at either Mrs. E's, located in Lewis Hall, or Oliver Dining Hall, located at Oliver Hall.
"There is a pretty big selection of vegetarian items which I really appreciate,"
anderson said. "Plus, the salad bar is always open."
Anderson said she wishes for more healthy entrees. Specifically, she wants E's to get healthier salad dressing and start offering more fresh fruit and vegetables.
If Hierl could change anything, it would be E's hours. "I'd probably make the closing time later. I know there's the whole issue of paying wages and also prepping for the next day, but my schedule forces me to eat kind of late, so I'm normally hungry for dinner around 8, not 6 or 7," Hierl said.
Despite this, Kidwell said KU Dining has actually expanded their service hours already.
While Mrs. E's closes at 8 p.m., Oliver closes thirty minutes earlier.
Freshman Grace Thompson, from Half Moon Bay, Calif., has only eaten there a total of three times. However, Thompson said she likes the food and believes her meal plan is just enough.
With some happy and others not, Kidwil said for the most part, students are satisfied with KU Dining.
we are feeding more and more students every year" Kidwell said, "We've done extensive renovations in the last two years and they have undoubtedly positively impacted students. We get great feedback from parents and students when they visit, and we're seeing more and more visitors requesting a stop at Mrs. E's."

Shred-It event returns for third year
DEREK SKILLETT
@derekskillett
Students wishing to get rid of unwanted documents can do so Saturday during Shred-lt, a free document shredding event. The Provost Office, KU Facilities Services, Privacy Office and Watkins Health Center will sponsor the event.
The event is from 8 a.m. to noon at the northwest corner of Iowa Street and Clinton Parkway in the Park and Ride lot. It is located north of the Shenk Sports Complex.
"Cyber Security Awareness Month is about raising awareness about security and letting people know things that they can do to protect themselves," said David Day, the director of IT External Affairs at KU. "Part of this includes the shredding of paper information."
The event will also signal the beginning of October's National Cyber Security Awareness Month.
Joe Gillespie, a University campus privacy official, said this will be the third annual
Shred-It event
"We'll actually have two big shredding trucks there and if people want, they can actually stay and watch a TV screen to see their stuff being shredded," Gillespie said. "Some people really want to make sure it gets shredded and they can actually watch it right there."
"We want to encourage people to take care of their information and make sure it's disposed of properly so it doesn't fall into the wrong hands," Gillespie said. "We want to get people in a good habit of disposing of things that they shouldn't keep too long around their house or just throw away in the trash." Gillespie said people should shred their personal documents for either identity theft reasons or other information they would not want others to see. He said this event is a good way to dispose of it.
All of the paper waste that is generated from the shreddings will be recycled, Gillespie said.
"It's not just protecting your
Gillespie said because identity theft is so common, the shredding event is something that everyone can do to protect identities and keep people from taking over bank accounts. He said online banking is a double-edged sword because it is very convenient and paper files can fall into the wrong hands. He said a lot of people bring bank statements from the last year or two.
personal information, but it's a recycling event," Gillespie said.
"We have people come in with boxes of stuff that they've been holding for years and now they realize that they really don't need to hold onto this stuff and this is a good, safe way to dispose of it," Gillespie said. "It is a good habit for students to be aware of. Many things are online, which is both good and bad. A lot of identity theft comes from online transactions. Anything that they have in paper, this is a good, safe, way to get rid of it."
Day said there is no permanent way to erase
personal information that is shared online, but there are steps that students can take to secure their digital footprints. He said that students should make sure they use strong passwords, both on University accounts and personal accounts. Students should also make sure they have password protection on their phones and encryptions and digital signatures set up when sending personal or professional emails.
Students should be aware of attempts to place viruses on their computers, Day said. Students with a KU online ID have free access to antivirus software but the first line of defense against harmful viruses is the user. If students have any questions about staying safe online, they should visit the IT offices. If students have questions about a suspicious email, they can forward it to abuse@ku.edu.

University announces plans to build $51 million residence hall
The University announced plans to build a new $51 million residence hall beginning in the spring of 2016.
The new hall will be built adjacent to Oliver Hall, and will have 500 beds and a new dining facility. The suites will be similar to the suites in the two new dorms being built on Daisy Hill, said Diana Robertson, director of Student Housing.
This new addition is just one of many steps that Student Housing is taking to update their living conditions. Robertson said Corbin Hall is the next hall to be renovated. It will be closed for the 2016-2017 school year. Once Corbin is renovated, Jayhawk Towers B and C and Oliver Hall will begin their renovations.
"We are increasing the capacity of our system based on our increasing enrollment." said Robertson.
The new dorm being built near Oliver Hall will have a brand new dining facility that will replace Oliver Dining Hall and be available for residents in both halls to use. The dining area in Oliver Hall will be renovated into a new Academic Service Center which will be filled with computers and printers, and will provide students a place to meet with tutors and academic advisors.
enrichment, said Robertson. It has not been determined that the new residence hall will be available to all first-year students, not just international students, Robertson said.
There are more parking spots available in Oliver Hall's lot than parking permits sold. Robertson said, so students do not need to be concerned about losing out on parking during the construction period. Additional parking will also be added with the new residence hall.
This dorm and the two dorms being built on Daisy Hill, will add an additional 1,200 spaces for incoming freshmen and other students living on campus.

WOW announces Internet speed increase
LIZ KUHLMANN
@LizKuhlmannUDK
Responding to several complaints on slow Internet speeds, WOW (Wide Open West) Internet and cable service recently announced the company will be increasing speeds significantly in 2015.
WOW caters to many Lawrence residences and apartments as well as surrounding towns such as Eudora, Basehor, Tonganoxie and several parts of Douglas and Wyandotte counties.
Lawrence WOW System Manager Debra Schmidt said the company wanted to stay current with what its customers need. While a speed increase has been in the works for some time, Schmidt said the company wanted to make an announcement in late September about the change so their consumers did not believe the company was just sitting around.
The announcement stated that in January of 2015, WOW will have 110 megabits of downstream available. This is compared to a maximum of 50 megabits for cable plans currently. Following this first change, WOW will then provide a second speed increase at the middle of the year, jumping from 110 megabits to 112 megabits.
"I know it's weird that we're going from 110 to 112," Schmidt said. "But we have some marketing campaigns scheduled around those two numbers. It's a great increase and I think people will be pleased by it."
"I would love faster Internet," Meek said. "I could download things quicker, it would be more convenient for homework or when I'm watching HBO Go or Netflix there won't be as much buffering. It would definitely save me from annoyance."
Currently, this speed increase will only apply when a user is downloading as opposed to uploading any form of information. Schmidt assures her consumers, however, that WOW plans to update its uploading speeds from five megabits to 10-15 megabits in 2015.
Conner Meek, a junior from Stilwell who lives at the Melrose Court apartment complex, said his Internet and cable are dependable but there are times when his connection and speed is unreliable.
vide that for those who want it," Schmidt said. "Admittedly, the new speeds are not for everyone. A person who is just checking email and doing basic web searches certainly doesn't need that type of speed."
"We are doing this because we feel like customers are asking for it, so we want to pro-
The change in speed will not happen automatically, Schmidt said, and should a user wish to update the individual would have to call and request the change. There will be an additional cost to upgrade to the faster speed, and Schmidt said the price for this upgrade will be released in November.
"There will be an 800 number to call and we also have a local office that they come into and we can fix them up at that time," Schmidt said.
Carly Froyum, a second-year graduate student from Arizona, said while her service is OK because she lives in a three-story house, she has experienced terrible Internet speeds and connection while with her boyfriend and friends. This situation typically led to frustration.
Schmidt said she is looking forward to the release of the new speeds in coming months.
"If there is a significant difference that would help us connect and do things better on the Internet, I'd be a happy camper," Froyum said.
"I'm looking forward to providing our customers with what they want and growing our base for people that felt like we haven't provided enough speed," Schmidt said. "I hope this is an option for them so they can be really happy with our service."

Chicago air traffic center fire snarls flights
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO - A contract employee set fire at a suburban Chicago air traffic control center where he worked, bringing two of the nation's busiest airports to a halt Friday, according to a criminal complaint.
Brian Howard, 36, of Naperville, ill., is charged with destruction of aircraft or aircraft facilities, a felony. When paramedics found him, the criminal complaint says, he was trying to cut his own throat. The FBI said Howard remains hospitalized and no court date has been scheduled.
Delays and cancellations rippled through the air travel network from coast to coast after the fire. The ground stoppage at O'Hare and Midway airports immediately raised questions about whether the Federal Aviation Administration has adequate backup plans to keep planes moving when a single facility has to shut down.
By Friday night, more than 2,000 flights in and out of Chicago had been canceled. A few flights resumed around midday, after a nearly five-hour gap. The planes were moving at a much-reduced pace, officials said, and no one could be sure when full service would be restored.
The early morning fire forced the evacuation of the control center in Aurora, about 40 miles west of downtown Chicago. It was the second unexpected shutdown of a Chicago-area air traffic facility since May.

Howard worked for the FAA contractor that supplies and maintains communications systems at air traffic facilities,
said Jessica Cigich, a spokeswoman for Professional Aviation Safety Specialists, the union that represents FAA technicians. He was recently told he was being transferred to Hawaii, the complaint said.
According to the complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Chicago, a relative who saw a suicidal Facebook note posted on Howard's account early Friday alerted authorities. Meanwhile, a 911 call from the control center brought a suburban fire department to the scene, where paramedics followed a trail of blood past a gas can, two knives and a lighter, the complaint said.

When they found Howard, he was trying to cut his throat and told the paramedics, "Leave me alone," the complaint said.

America needs to re-examine its prison systems
Worldwide, the United States has the largest proportion of its population in prison, according to the International Centre for Prison Studies. Attorney General Eric Holder recently made news, claiming America is making progress in lowering the number of incarcerations as well as lowering the crime rate. Though these statements are accurate, the American prison system is still burdened with fundamental flaws. It is time for America to reevaluate how it handles crime and punishes its citizens.
In the 1980s, the United States began to adopt a "tough on crime" approach in an attempt to decrease the high crime
rates. These policies have little proven effect on crime rates, and have resulted in overcrowded prisons, according to the American Legislative Exchange Council. Today, one in every 100 adults is incarcerated. Kansas' prisons, which have received little attention nationally, are currently over capacity by about 230 people. California, one of the worst offenders, was ordered by a federal judge last year to release 40,000 prisoners because of severe overcrowding, according to the ALEC.
The "tough on crime" policies have done little to lower crime rates and have contributed to discrimination in the American legal system. African Americans represent a disproportionate amount
By Ike Uri
@IkeUri
ot the prison population. A study by the Poverty Action Lab found 40 percent of those in prison are African American, while less than 13 percent of America's population is black. Though this could be explained by a variety of factors,the study also found African Americans tend to receive harsher sentences than their white counterparts for similar crimes.The average black male has a 1-in-3 chance of going to prison in his lifetime compared to a 1-in-17 chance for white males. These facts add
a further burden to the already difficult process many people of color face when trying to pursue an education or other opportunities. Additionally, disenfranchisement laws for felons, which many states still enforce, affect African Americans far more than whites.
It is unacceptable that one of the world's most developed nations has such a backwards criminal justice system. As Holder stated, "[tough on crime policies have] perpetuated a destructive cycle of poverty, criminality and incarceration that has trapped countless people and weakened entire communities particularly communities of color."
The justice system needs to be reformed.
Rehabilitation, which has been proven to be far more effective than simple imprisonment, needs to be made a priority. Teaching these individuals how to reintegrate into society is more important than simply locking them away. America has been making progress in this regard, and Holder is on the correct path. If our country continues to move in this direction, we will have a justice and incarceration system that is more effective and humane toward its citizens.

Beauty costs are rising,but consumers should not submit
What does it cost to be beautiful? Ever since I was a little girl, I remember my mom telling me, "Beauty knows no pain." Well, nowadays, beauty means pain and spending a lot of money. Getting your hair styled, nails manicured and eyebrows waxed ends up costing quite a bit. But women today are convinced that we need every beauty product out there, and it is costing a fortune.
The beauty industry constantly throws new products at customers. They promise buyers that their product can make you look younger, thinner, tanner—the list goes on. Each beauty company will convince you that their product is the best on the market, that you need it to be beautiful.
But why are we spending so much money on what the beauty industry is telling us we need? I don't think it is necessary for any woman to be using cellulite rubs or getting their eyebrows threaded just because the beauty

industry is telling us that it is necessary. It is a waste of good money.
can.
The media plunges right into the beauty industry's web. Internet, television, magazines, etc., constantly tell us to buy the next new product. With media hounding its consumers, it becomes difficult, as a consumer, to keep up financially. For example, the beauty industry is currently raving about famous shoe designer Christian Louboutin's new nail polish, which costs a whopping $50 for a .04 fluid ounce bottle. The media and beauty industry is telling us that this nail polish is worth the money, but in my eyes, it is just nail polish. Consumers are paying for the brand name and designers jack up prices because they know they
As college students, we should be spending less money on bronzers, eye shadows, teeth whiteners and more, and should be saving money for our future. Instead of spending that $50 on Dior bronzer or $40 on Chanel mascara, put that money in the bank. Save for a vacation, to pay off student loans once you graduate, or for a more meaningful purchase
When it comes down to it, most college students can't afford to keep up with the beauty industry. Every day, advertisements and Photoshop remind us that we "need" something to make us beautiful. Well, I think everyone is beautiful without a face caked with makeup. By not buying that new nail polish or mascara, we can be saving our money for less superficial things.

What lessons did freshman year teach you?
Freshman year provides important life lessons
When people ask what year I am in school,
responding with "junior" is hard to get used to. It is startling to be looking back on my first two years of college already, since I never thought I would make it this far. When I was a freshman I felt so lost and didn't know what I wanted to do, who I wanted to be or even how to study.
The funny thing is most freshmen feel this way, but at the time no one would admit it. I always felt like I was the only one struggling; now I know otherwise. I think it's hard to admit you're having a hard time, especially when you're not used to it. Classes without required attendance, a great deal of free time and free range to party as much as I want were the three key components to my "success." Sound familiar, anyone?
We all, for the most part, go through this slump. However, I believe this slump plays an important role in shaping who we become. I think a lot of people need to "lose themselves" for a little bit in order to realize what they want in life. Freshman year was good for me, but I would never want to relive it. It would be like going
My advice to freshmen is to keep having fun, but not too much. Don't forget why you came to college. If you feel lost now, you will eventually find yourself along the way by meeting all sorts of different people and encountering a variety of new experiences. It will be exhausting and stressful, but most importantly, a lot of fun. Don't be afraid to make mistakes along the way; you will learn from each one.
By Molly Smith
@mollmsmith
All of the not-so-great things we go through in life teach us something. Everything happens for a reason, and I truly believe that. These experiences have brought me the clarity and happiness I have today about where I'm going and who I am becoming. I no longer question my views or what I want.

KU Swing Society helps graduate find his beat

Graduate David Yoe dances with his partner during a KU Swing Society practice. Yoe was paralyzed on the right side of his body after an accident in 1998 and joined the society in November

@MinseonKim94
David Yoe suffered a severe brain injury when he was hit by a minivan while riding a bicycle in 1998. He was 14 years old. He was completely paralyzed on the right side of the body, and his right hand is still non-functional. Yoe said it took a month and a half before he was even able to take a few steps, and it took him eight months to relearn how to walk.
Before his injury, Yoe said he used to dance and do taekwondo and wanted to remain active after his injury. His previous interest in dancing helped him start learning swing dance. Yoe, a Lawrence native and 2013 KU graduate, said he first read about the KU Swing Society from a local newspaper
and joined the society in November of last year.
"I had very little idea about it," Yoe said. "At first I was completely terrible on what steps to do, but I knew even then, it's just like what I used to do in taekwondo, so I thought, 'I can do this.'
KU Swing Society holds weekly practice on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. in the Kansas Union. After practice, there is an hour-long swing dance lesson, followed by two hours of social dancing. Yoe said swing dance gives him an opportunity to communicate with other University students while dancing because of the constant adjusting of dance steps depending on the partner.
I don't know [when I am at meetings]. I'd say since it's not a sallary dance, you have to have at least two people. You have to react to what your partner is doing."
Swing dancing also provided Yoe a chance to feel
"I guess it's just my nature, wanting to interact with people," Yoe said. "It's easier for me to talk to people that
better physically. He said he has noticed that he has much more balance in his right side, which he said is a major plus.

"I am learning more about music and how to express myself with that. Just relaxing and not thinking about the rest of my world I've got going on."
Swing dance provides students, including Yoe, a chance to learn new dances
Yoe's enthusiasm for swing, both dance and music, has amazed a lot of experienced members. Jason Gevargizian, president of KU Swing Society and graduate student from Leawood, said Yoe is always the first one to go to local swing events in Kansas City and encourages new members to attend. Gevargizian said he remembers when he first met Yoe.
"I wasn't sure if hed be able to participate fully, but he definitely did overcome all of that," Gevargizian said. "He showed me what was even more so than I realized. That even with a lot against you, swing dance can still touch people, still be in people's lives."
and express themselves through these dances. Victoria Purvis, a sophomore from Weskan and vice president of KU Swing Society, said swing dancing gives her a chance to unwind, which is a completely new experience for her.
"I am learning more about music and how to express myself with that," she said. "Just relaxing and not thinking about the rest of my world I've got going on."
Gevargizian said one of the real draws about swing dancing is, personally, he would be able to continue with it for a majority of his life and that it's reachable.
"He [Yoe] helped show me that it reaches even further than I could have imagined," Gevargizian said.

Torched Goodness, a food truck that specializes in crème brûlée, opened in 2010 while Julia Ireland and her husband Eric were still in Arizona. The couple moved the business to Lawrence this year.
Dessert food truck finds new home in Lawrence
VICKY DIAZ-CAMACHO
@vickyd_c
Julia Ireland said she never thought she would be in the food truck business. After 16 years of being a realtor, she and her husband, Eric Ireland, a professional chef for 23 years, created the food truck Torched Goodness. With her marketing background and his culinary skill, the pair took her favorite dessert, crème brûlée, to the streets.
The Ireland's business started in Arizona in 2010. The pair wanted to escape the heat and find a place further east, so they went through lists of cities to find their new home. Six months ago they moved to Lawrence, closer to her husband's hometown of Topeka.
"It just made the most sense for us. I'd say Lawrence — the people, the city — have all been so supportive," Julia said.
Ireland said the young and hip vibe of the
town was attractive, and business would kick off well, which it has. She thinks part of the reason for their early success is the size of town and word of mouth.
Torched Goodness made its debut at the Lawrence farmers market for the first time in April. Since then, the couple has served at weddings, business events and farmers markets in Lawrence and Kansas City, Mo. One big event for them was Kansas City Star Food Truck Friday, which ends this weekend.
"You know, I think the people wanted it," she said. "Especially being a college town, a foodie town, they love the food trucks."
"We've been lucky to land things here pretty quickly," Ireland said. "Everybody loves crème brûlée. You get to watch (it) being torched... people get a kick out of that."
Now that the Lawrence City Commission passed the new ordinance that lifts the three-hour serving
"I moved here from Oregon where the food truck business is well established," Larkin said. "I've seen the good that comes from it. I've had people approach me about their dream of opening a food truck. These new laws help make it easier, make it possible."
Larkin said Kansas City food truck owners told him they would move to Lawrence for the local municipality. He said Lawrence is more interesting and there is more business opportunities.
limit, food truck owners have become increasingly interested in moving their business to Lawrence, said Tom Larkin, vice president of development at Fronthills Development Group. The group was responsible for organizing the first food truck festival in Lawrence this past summer.

For the second year, I Heart Local Music released its cheeky calendar featuring local Lawrence bands, several of which consist of University alumni. A portion of the calendar's proceeds will go to the Midwest Music Foundation, a nonprofit organization that helps musicians in the Kansas City area.
Swimsuit calendar organization gives to local musicians
The 2015 I Heart Local Music swimsuit calendar can be found at Love Garden Sounds, Cindy's Simple Life and Mass Street Music. The calendar can also be found at the upcoming show, I Heart Local Music Presents Something and the Whatevers, Black On Black and Nicholas St. James on Oct. 10 at Replay Lounge, 946 Massachusetts St.
Fally Afani Ruzik, editor of I Heart Local Music, said she first got the idea for a swimsuit calendar at a music festival in another state. A music publication had fixed photos of famous bands in pools, and Ruzik said she thought it was an interesting twist on the traditional and sometimesexist swimsuit calendar.

"It's not supposed to be objectifying. It's not supposed to be sexual." Ruzik said. "This is really supposed to be fun

and playful and show the sillier side of Lawrence. Lawrence is very silly, and the music scene can especially be very gregarious and fun."
"One thing she [Henderson] just really strived for is she really thought that being a musician should be a viable career," Lyne said. "Most of these people are struggling to pay their rent, and just going out to a show and paying the cover and buying the CD really helps them pay their rent and their bills."
In 2008, Henderson was diagnosed with breast cancer, and Midwest Music Foundation held a benefit for her called Apocalypse Meow. Henderson passed away last August. Apocalypse Meow is now an annual benefit that takes place the first weekend of November and helps local musicians with healthcare.
Rhonda Lyne, executive director of Midwest Music Foundation, said the organization appreciates I Heart Local Music's help in supporting local musicians. The founder of Midwest Music Foundation, Abby Henderson, was a Kansas City musician herself.
"If a musician has an emergency and they're in the hospital and they're out of work, we help them with a small grant that may be their rent or a small medical bill," Lyne said. "We also give them counseling and links to other resources."
Since Apocalypse Meow first started, the Midwest Music Foundation has given out over $43,000 in healthcare grants to 24 Kansas City area musicians.

KU Theatre to perform Tony-winning play 'Proof'

Solve the equation: One dead math genius, plus one dour daughter, multiplied by a budding mathematician and a well-to-do sister, divided by a plot twist or two. The answer materializes into the play "Proof."
"Proof" tells the story of Catherine, the 25-year-old daughter of Robert, a recently deceased mathematical genius. Catherine cared for her father through his debilitating mental illness and believes she
"Proof" is directed by Amanda Boyle, a third-year Ph.D. student from Lenexa. Casey McNamara did the scenic design and the lighting and costume designs were done by Jenifer Harmon. Both are second year MFA students from Kansas City, Mo.
This weekend, the University's Department of Theatre will present "Proof," a play by David Auburn. "Proof" won the Tony Award for Best Play and the Pulitzer Prize for drama in 2001. The play will be performed on Oct. 3, 4, 7, 8 and 9 at 7:30 p.m. and on Sunday, Oct. 5 at 2:30 p.m. in the Inge Theater. Advance tickets are $10 for KU students and $15 at the door. Tickets for adults are $15, $14 for seniors, and $10 for children.
may have inherited both his brilliant mathematical mind and mental instability. Hal, one of Robert's ex-students, discovers a monumental mathematical proof in Robert and Catherine's house. Catherine then claims she wrote the proof herself, not Robert. The plot plays out as Catherine tries to prove authorship and reclaim control of her life.

"Proof" has a cast of only four actors. Boyle said the show has no small roles and that she needed four strong, talented, hardworking students. She said she feels very lucky to have people who were willing to jump in. Since it's such a small cast, Jaelyn Glennmeier, a freshman from Rose Hill, said she has gotten to know everyone rein math is very similar to the way we view theater," Boyle said. "We often think of math as being very clinical, but it's not. Talking with them made the play a little more human and real for us."
To check the accuracy of the play, Boyle brought in professors from the University's math department.

Finding a professional role model isn't always easy, but some students haven't had to look far for someone to emulate. Here are three University students who are following in the footsteps of their parents.
KRISTA SNYDER
Krista Snyder grew up with a view of classrooms that most kids don't get the chance to have. Her mom Cheryl, a teacher in Wichita, often had Krista help with simple tasks such as making name tags or hanging bulletin board decorations.
HANNAH SUNDERMEYER
@chandlerblanton
Krista, a junior majoring in elementary education, said she hopes to teach first or third grade in a suburban elementary school once she graduates. Her mom said she is "thrilled" that Krista has chosen to teach, despite the challenges of the job.
"People don't become teachers to get rich," Cheryl said. "It's a hard job and something that goes home with you at night. Each child needs help in one area or another, and making sure you can cater to each of their needs is a challenge."
"I love working with younger kids" Krista said. "It's important for me to realize that my job will be helping give kids the building blocks they
Krista realizes some days will be harder than others, especially when working with kids with behavioral or developmental issues. But she believes she can make a positive difference in kids' lives.
Cheryl received an early childhood education degree from Butler Community College and teaches 3- and 4-year-olds at Wichita Collegiate, a private preparatory school. Cheryl says that one of the greatest challenges Krista will face is keeping up with the constantly changing education standards
"I've seen a lot of changes in public schools with No Child Left Behind and more core standards being implemented," Cheryl said. "Teachers constantly have to evolve and learn new methods to best be able to educate their students."
need for higher levels of education."
Though the job is indeed a challenge, both Krista and Cheryl are looking forward to Krista's eventual teaching debut.
"The most important things to take away from college aren't quantitative or tangible," said Becca Schmidt, a junior engineering student from Lenexa. "I need to walk away from my education with problem solving skills, communication skills, an ability to learn quickly and have it drilled into my brain that you have to work hard in order to
"My mom always encouraged me to become a teacher, because she knew I would like it," Krista said. "Because I loved going to her classroom and helping her growing up, I think she knew it would be a good fit for me."

Schmidt's father is a mechanical engineer himself, and has given his daughter that very advice.
Dan said he developed his own ability to problem solve which influenced his decision to pursue a career in engineering at Iowa State University. Becca said that seeing what her father did for a living piqued her interest, and ultimately resulted in her decision to pursue the same career.

"I was around 9 years old and we had a terrible ice storm that destroyed many of the overhead power lines in much of northeast Iowa where I grew up," Dan said. "The power company advised it would be a week or more before electricity would be restored to our farm. This created many problems for a livestock farm like ours, but the biggest problem was we required electricity to milk our dairy cows." Dan said his father solved the

In this past year, it has given out more than $8,200 in grants to four musicians. Lyne said the amount of grants given out varies each year based on how many musicians apply.
Ruzik said she has become close with local musicians through I Heart Local Music and knows how much effort they put into their work.
"They've been through a lot of things," she said. "That's where the Midwest Music Foundation steps in and really helps them out and fills in the gaps in their lives and makes living a little easier so they can keep creating music."
"One thing that's been really incredible about the KC music community is a lot of time they're like 'No, someone else needs it worse, we'll get by,' Lyne said.
Even though Lyne reaches out to musicians if she has heard they are in need, she said it is still a struggle to get musicians to apply for grants.
+
While preparing the calendar, Ruzik said she also noticed this selflessness in the musicians, even for the photoshoot.
"It was a lot of hard work to get this together, but at
the same time there were musicians who put it out there for this," she said. "One guy jumped into a freezing cold pool, another band had to hula-hoop in front of traffic. It's pretty admirable that they did all of this just to put the calendar out."
Although the main focus of the calendar is supporting local music, the production of the calendar supported local businesses as well. Ruzik said the photos in the calendar were taken around Lawrence, and local clothing stores like Wild Man Vintage donated items for the musicians to wear. The calendar was also
printed from Blue Collar Press a local company.
"Rather than spending 100 bucks to see somebody big at the Sprint Center, you should spend five bucks to check out a local band," Lyne said. "There's a lot of great music to be had."
This message of community and supporting local musicians that comes from the calendar encourages music fans to explore music being made in the Kansas City and Lawrence areas. Lyne said the music fans can support musicians by simply going to shows, buying CDs and recognizing the wide variety of music being made.

Students pay more than $400 in campus fees
CASSIDY RITTER
@cassidyritter
At the end of your lease, you are told you owe an additional $800 for damages. The security deposit has been used to clean and paint, but the carpet also needs to be replaced and holes in the walls must be fixed. Instead of receiving a return on the security deposit, you are told to give more money.
This is an example of a landlord versus tenant dispute that could be brought to KU's Legal Services for Students, according to Jo Hardesty, director and managing attorney for Legal Services.
Help from Legal Services is one of 15 services students pay as part of their required campus fees. For 2014, students pay a total of $450.04 in fees on top of tuition fees. These fees include $90.50 for the Recreational and Fitness Center, $63.30 for the Student Union, and $14.50 for Legal Services.
LEGAL SERVICES FOR STUDENTS
LEGAL SERVICES FOR STUDENTS
According to Hardesty, students bring in a copy of their lease along with any documentation. Once the documents and lease have been looked over by an attorney at Legal Services, the landlord is contacted for justification as to why they are keeping the student's deposit and asking for more money. Information is shared and disputed until a settlement is agreed upon. The student, attorney at Legal Services and the landlord go to court if no agreement is made.
In 2013, Legal Services saw 240 landlord-tenant cases. A landlord won't return a student's security deposit or wants additional money from the student to replace carpet or repair holes in the walls. When a discrepancy is present, the student takes his or her case
to KU's Legal Services for Students.
Landlord-tenant disputes are just one example of the services covered by the $14.50 fee that students pay per semester for Legal Services. Most of the cases seen by Legal Services are landlord vs. tenant, traffic and misdemeanor, or taxes, Hardesty said.
The required campus fee also pays for Legal Services' entire budget. This includes renting their building space in the Burge Union, staff salaries and paying for law students to work there, Hardesty said.
Cases brought to Legal Services are seen by second and third-year law students and/or an attorney. Four full-time attorneys, one part-time attorney and four students work in the office. Hardesty said they helped 3,057 students in 2013. That means about 13 percent of students use this service, even though all students pay for it each semester.
RECREATIONAL AND FITNESS CENTERS
Students on the Lawrence campus pay $90.50 towards a Recreational and Fitness Center fee. Mary Chappell, director of KU Recreation Services, said the fee allows students to use the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center, along with the sports complex at 23rd and Iowa streets, Adams Campus Outdoor Education center at Clinton Lake, the pool and courts in the Robinson Center, and the new tennis and sand volleyball courts. The money students pay also go towards salaries, operations, equipment, maintenance, a sport club fee and to help pay off a bond debt. The bond debt paid for a track and new courses in the recreational center in 2003. In order for students to get

FIVE CAMPUS FITNESS FACILITIES
In order for students to get the most out of their money,
they need to use Recreation Services 10 to 12 times a semester. This means going to the gym, swimming or playing volleyball a minimum of three times per month.
Alex Gunn, a junior from Topeka, works out at the recreational center two or three times a week. Gunn said the recreational center is definitely worth the $90.50 fee considering he paid more than $100 for a summer membership at another gym with fewer amenities.
KANSAS UNION
Students also pay a $63.30 fee for the Student Union, which is a combination of four fees from the University Registrar.
There is a fee for the Student Union building ($41.00), Student Union renovation ($13.80), Student Union activity fee ($5) and KJHK fee ($3.50). The majority of the money from these fees goes toward daily maintenance and operations, but also pay for 24/7 streaming on KJHK and
many activities provided by the Student Union, said David Mucci, director of the Memorial Unions.
BREAK OF THE FEES:
- Student Union building: daily maintenance and operations for the Kansas Union and Burge Union.
Student Union renovation: Mucci said this fee is for "emergency repair and improvements." One example Mucci said was the Chiller replaced in the Burge Union this year costing $450,000.
Student Union activity fee: JJ
O'Toole Curran, director of the Union Programs Office, said this fee "completely (goes) towards event planning and funding." There are about 250 events a year covered by this fee.
- KJHK: This $3.50 fee allows KJHK to run 24/7, maintain their online stream and app and also provides the equipment needed to run a radio station. They are also able to host two event during welcome week said Margaret Hair, program coordinator for KJHK.

plants he [worked with] and met some of his co-workers and bosses." Becca said. "This combined with my own personal interests eventually influenced me to choose a career in engineering."
Becca said by following in the same career path as her father, she often feels pressure to succeed.
"It is not pressure I get from him. It's pressure that I put on myself," she said. "I'm an extremely competitive person, and so I definitely am driven to become just as successful in my engineering career as he is."
RAY SEGEBRECHT
Ray Segebrecht thought he wanted to be a reporter, so he graduated with a degree in journalism. He liked the idea of getting to know all sorts of people, especially those with a story of overcoming struggle. Then he changed his mind. He decided to become
a doctor, like his father, and now is in his second year of medical school at Kansas.
Ray thought being a doctor would allow him to incorporate his passion for helping others and his ability to engage with people about their problems and needs.
"When it comes to medicine, in a way I am interviewing people everyday, and also having a very real role in trying to resolve their problems," Ray said. "You start broad and work your way down to the essence of the issue."
Ray's father, Stephen Segebrecht, has a practice in Lawrence and specializes in otolaryngology, which focuses on ear, nose and throat conditions.
"He's a great doctor with an incredible mind for medicine, and I want to live by his example," Ray said. "It's something to aspire towards."
For his part, Stephen said his greatest fulfillment comes from helping his patients.
"Taking care of sick people and making them well, whole [is the best part]," Stephen said. "Whether it is trauma, chronic infections or removing tumors, I get to relieve their suffering and provide comfort."
Ray, who plans on focusing his career in internal medicine, has taken classes from professors who were in medical school with Ray's father, who graduated from the University Medical Center in 1980. Stephen said he thinks Ray would make a good teacher after some real world experience.
"Ten years from now, I would ideally like to see Ray teaching at KU School of Med as a clinical professor," Stephen said. "He would make a phenomenal teacher. I just think that would be so rewarding. He has the patience and a real gift for teaching."

Girl missing for 12 years found with mother in Mexico
AUSTIN, Texas — A Texas girl reported kidnapped 12 years ago was found near Mexico City with her mother after authorities received a tip, and the mother was quickly flown to Texas and jailed on kidnapping charges, investigators said Wednesday.
The FBI and Mexico authorities said 17-year-old Sabrina Allen, whose case was twice profiled on the television show "America's Most Wanted," was found Tuesday night in Papalotla, Tlaxcala. She was 4 years old when she, was reported missing by her father in 2002, after she vanished following a weekend visit with her mother.
"She's in pretty bad shape as far as my understanding," her father, Gregory Allen, said during a news conference with the FBI and Austin police on Wednesday. "She was not living a regular life. She has not been going to school."
The teen and her mother, Dara Llorens, were flown back to Texas early Wednesday. Llorens is now jailed in Austin on an aggravated kidnapping charge and being held on a
Allen said he has not yet seen his daughter, but said he knew what his first question would be: "I'm going to ask her if I can give her a hug."
$300,000 bond. It was not immediately clear if Llorens has an attorney.
six months after the girl was reported missing, a friend of the mother's told the FBI that he had dropped Llorens and her daughter off at the international bridge in Laredo and that he believed she went into Mexico.
U. S. and Mexican authorities said that she and her daughter had been living in an apartment and that Llorens initially put up some resistance when she was arrested by Mexican officers. But investigators released no other details about the arrest or about how long they believed she had been in Mexico with her daughter.
Allen had hired a private investigator to help find his daughter. He said authorities were recently tipped by a confidential informant, but he declined to give more details. Allen also recalled one trip where he spent a month walking through neighborhoods handing out flyers about the missing girl.
Allen said his daughter was meeting with a therapist, but he and authorities declined to say where she was staying.
Allen has since remarried and had more children. He said they only know they have a sister who has been missing for years.

The new lecture space in Marvin Hall was designed by architecture graduate students and features a green wall. Although construction on the addition to the building is complete, students are working on the design's final touches.
Marvin addition nearly complete

@udkylehicks
A class of architecture students have designed and built an innovative addition to Marvin Hall.
This year's class project, known as The Forum, consists of a new lecture hall and student commons that replaced the second floor jury room, extending from the south elevation of Marvin Hall.
The class is called Studio 804.
a year-long program which gives students a full experience of the design and construction process through a cumulative project.
Dan Rockhill, an architecture professor, said they chose to build a new 121-seat lecture hall to allow for larger classes.
"Twenty-three classes needed to be taken outside of the architecture school due to a lack of seats provided in Marvin Hall," Rockhill said.
All 18 of Studio 804's students began designing the project last August with the need for a lecture hall in mind. Rockhill said the actual construction began by fall break with the foundations finished around winter break. Rockhill also noted that due to the magnitude of the project, 12 students stayed and worked on The Forum over summer break.
"Not only will The Forum be a nice place to study and attend class, but I think architecture students considering enrolling here will want to be a part of something as great as this," said Perry Weber, a second-year student from Chicago in the architecture program.
Construction on the addition is complete, but students are working on final touches.

Students donate blood on campus
MAEGAN BULL
@Maegan_bull
Someone needs blood every two seconds, according to the American Red Cross. All week long, University students have had a chance to participate in the blood drives happening across campus.
These blood drives have been hosted by both the American Red Cross, a nonprofit organization that services the entire United States, and the Community Blood Center, another nonprofit organization dedicated to serving Kansas City and the surrounding areas, including Lawrence.
When freshman Tim Svoboda, a first-time donor from St. Louis decided to donate blood to the Community Blood Center, he decided to donate only red blood cells. This process involves the separation of plasma, red blood cells and platelets in a machine which then keeps the red blood cells but returns the plasma and platelets to your body.
His advice to people who are thinking about donating is to "just do it and make sure to eat a lot the same day"
According to the American Red Cross website, they service more than 3,000 hospitals and make up 40 percent of the blood distribution in the United States with smaller blood centers and companies making up the rest. Bloodcenters.org states that an average blood transfusion uses 2.7 pints of blood and goes on to state that every one in seven people going to the hospital are in need of blood.
preshman Kendal LeBar, from Phoenix, also said to "just do it" because "it's for a good cause and it's not painful."
After the blood drives wrap up on Friday, the collection of blood will be sent to one of the many Red Cross and Community Blood Center locations where the blood will then be spun in a machine to separate the plasma, red blood cells, and platelets.
"Just do it... It's for a good cause and it's not painful."
KENDAL LEBAR Freshman from Phoenix
The test tubes of blood that were also gathered during the donation process will be sent to the lab for testing, according to the Red Cross.
The website states lab technicians will look for things like blood type and diseases. If any diseases are found, the blood will be disposed of and the donor will be given a call letting he or she know what was discovered. If the blood is free from diseases it will distributed to hospitals.
This will be the last opportunity to donate blood on campus until next spring.

Ebola-infected passenger was sent home from ER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DALLAS — The airline passenger who brought Ebola into the U.S. initially went to a Dallas emergency room last week but was sent home, despite telling a nurse that he had been in disease-ravaged West Africa, the hospital said Wednesday in a disclosure that showed how easily an infection could be missed.
The decision by Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital to release the patient, who had recently arrived from Liberia, could have put others at risk of exposure to Ebola before the man went back to the ER a couple of days later, when his condition worsened.
A day after the diagnosis was confirmed, a nine-member team of federal health officials was tracking anyone who had close contact with him after he fell ill on Sept. 24. The group
of 12 to 18 people included three members of the ambulance crew that took the man to the hospital and a handful of schoolchildren.
They will be checked every day for 21 days, the disease's incubation period.
"That's how we're going to break the chain of transmission, and that's where our focus has to be," Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told The Associated Press Wednesday.
The CDC reminded the nation's health care providers to ask patients with symptoms if they've traveled recently. The American College of Emergency Physicians planned to alert its members as well.
The patient explained to a nurse last Thursday that he was visiting the U.S. from Africa, but that information was not widely shared, said Dr.
Mark Lester, who works for the hospital's parent company.
"Regretfully, that information was not fully communicated" throughout the medical team, Lester said. Instead, the man was diagnosed with a low-risk infection and sent home.
He was prescribed antibiotics, according to his sister, Mai Wureh, who identified her brother, Thomas Eric Duncan, as the infected man in an interview with The Associated Press.
Duncan has been kept in isolation at the hospital since Sunday. He was listed in serious but stable condition.
Hospital epidemiologist Dr. Edward Goodman said the patient had a fever and abdominal pain during his first ER visit, not the riskier symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea.
But the diagnosis, and the hospital's slip-up, highlighted
the wider threat of Ebola, even in places far from West Africa.
"The scrutiny just needs to be higher now," said Dr. Rade Vukmir, a spokesman for the American College of Emergency Physicians.
Ebola is believed to have sickened more than 7,100 people in West Africa and killed more than 3,300, according to the World Health Organization. Liberia is one of the three hardest-hit countries in the epidemic, along with Sierra Leone and Guinea.
In Texas, neither the ambulance crew nor the children showed any symptoms. They were restricted to home while their conditions are observed. It was not exactly clear how Duncan knew the children, but his sister said he had been visiting with family, including two nephews.
At an address listed for the family in Kannapolis, N.C., a
man who identified himself as Duncan's brother told reporters the family was "just stressed out."
Ebola symptoms can include fever, muscle pain, vomiting and bleeding, and can appear as long as 21 days after exposure to the virus. The disease is not contagious until symptoms begin. It spreads only by close contact with a patient's bodily fluids.
The man left Liberia on Sept. 19, flying from Brussels to Dulles Airport near Washington. He then boarded a flight for Dallas-Fort Worth, according to airlines, and arrived the next day to see relatives.
He started feeling ill four or five days later, Frieden said.
The CDC sent a team to Monrovia's airport on Wednesday to make sure health officials there are screening passengers properly. All people traveling from the outbreak zone are
"There were no signs of any disease when the gentleman boarded the flight," said Dr. Tom Kenyon, director of the CDC's Center for Global Health. "This was not a failure of the screening process at the airport."
supposed to be checked for fever and asked about their travel history before being allowed to leave. Plastic buckets filled with chlorinated water for hand-washing are present throughout the airport.
Since the man was showing no symptoms on the plane, the CDC stressed that there is no risk to fellow passengers.
Tests designed to detect the virus in the bloodstream are not typically performed on people who don't yet have symptoms, because tests done too early may miss the diagnosis, Frieden said.

Colorado man wants to bring gun into post office
MARISON DEAD
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Tab Bonidy speaks with members of the media after exiting the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, within the CU Law School, in Boulder, Colo., Wednesday.
BOULDER, Colo. — Tab Bonidy carries a concealed pistol everywhere he goes. It offers him a sense of safety even in Avon, Colo., a mountain town so small its lone post office doesn't offer home delivery.
but when the 56-year-old architect drives into town to pick up his mail, he has to disarm, even if he's just running into the lobby. It's a hassle, he says, but U.S. Postal Service rules prohibit bringing guns inside.
A three-judge panel of the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday heard arguments in his case, which could impact security at the Postal Service's tens of thousands of facilities nationwide. The court met at the University of Colorado campus in Boulder, where the judges held the hearing so students could listen.
"It's just a lobby with a bunch of boxes, everyone in Avon goes there to get their mail." Bonidy said. "Even there, I'm disarmed and not able to protect myself."
Bonidy is challenging that rule in federal court, saying it violates his Second Amendment rights.
Though Bonidy was never specifically confronted about his handgun, he sued the Postal Service in 2010. U.S. District Judge Richard Matsch found the agency could not keep him from securing his weapon in his truck in the post office parking lot while he went inside unarmed.
But the judge also ruled that the post office could prohibit him from bringing his gun
into any part of the building.
Bonidy appealed, seeking access to the unsecured lobby. He said Matsch's ruling didn't go far enough.
The Postal Service also appealed, arguing the judge was wrong to let Bonidy take his weapon anywhere on postal property, even the parking lot.
Bonidy's attorney Steven Lechner of the Mountain States Legal Foundation told the judges the lobby is not such a place, as there are no security guards checking patrons, who come at all hours.
Bonidy, whose lawsuit is backed by the National Association for Gun Rights, and the postal service disagree over what constitutes a "sensitive place" where guns can be legally banned, such as a government building or school.
"Not every government building is sensitive. There has to be some criteria or the government gets a free pass," he said. "If the government prevents someone from defending themselves, there has to be some security. You can't
disarm a citizen if he wants to pick up his mail."
But Daniel Tenny, an attorney for the Department of Justice, told the judges that the Postal Service needs the blanket weapons ban for security purposes. Deciding which buildings — and which people — should be exempt from the rules would be a strain on resources, he said. One of the justices, Judge Gregory A. Phillips, noted that not all people who bring guns into buildings bring them to protect themselves. There have been several shootings at postal facilities and other government buildings in recent years. A former postal employee in 2006 shot five people to death at a huge mail-processing center in California before killing herself.
The judges will issue a written ruling, but it could take weeks or months.
Despite the argument over sensitive places, Bonidy agreed the courtroom was no place for a gun.

Ebola patient in Dallas said he was from Liberia
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DALLAS — The first Ebola patient diagnosed in the U.S. initially went to a Dallas emergency room last week but was sent home, despite telling a nurse that he had been in disease-ravaged West Africa, the hospital acknowledged Wednesday.
The decision by Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital to release him could have put many others at risk of exposure to the disease before he went back to the ER two days later, after his condition worsened.
Thomas Eric Duncan explained to a nurse Friday that he was visiting the U.S. from Liberia, but that information was not widely shared, said Dr. Mark Lester, who works for the hospital's parent company.
Duncan's answer "was not fully communicated" throughout the hospital's medical team, Lester said.
Instead, the patient was sent home with antibiotics, according to his sister, Mai Wureh, who identified her brother as the infected man in an interview with The Associated Press.
Antibiotics, which target bacteria, are generally ineffective against Ebola, which is caused by a virus.
A day after the man's diagnosis was confirmed, a nine-member team of federal health officials was tracking anyone who had close contact with him.
Ebola is believed to have sickened more than 7,100
"If anyone develops fever, we'll immediately isolate them to stop the chain of transmission." Dr. Tom Frieden, the CDC director, said in an interview.
Duncan has been kept in isolation at the hospital since Sunday. He was listed in serious but stable condition.
the team from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was in Dallas to work with local and state health agencies to ensure that those people are watched every day for 21 days.
people in West Africa, and more than 3,300 deaths have been linked to the disease, according to the World Health Organization.
Officials are monitoring 12 to 18 people who may have been exposed to the man, including three members of the ambulance crew that transported him to the hospital and five schoolchildren.
Some of the people are members of his family, but not all, Dallas city spokeswoman Sana Syed said.
The ambulance crew tested negative for the virus and was restricted to home while their conditions are observed.

TOM FRIEDEN CDC director
the children, who attend four separate schools, apparently had contact with the man over the weekend and then returned to classes this week. But school officials have said they showed no symptoms.
Ebola symptoms can include fever, muscle pain, vomiting and bleeding, and can appear as long as 21 days after exposure to the virus. The disease is not contagious until symptoms begin.
Officials said there are no other suspected cases in Texas, but the diagnosis sent anxiety through the area's West African community, whose leaders urged caution to prevent spreading the virus.
the man left Liberia on Sept. 19, arrived the next day to visit relatives and started feeling ill four or five days later. Frieden said.
Frieden said he did not believe anyone on the same flights as the patient was at risk.
The man traveled from his home in the Liberian capital of Monrovia to Brussels and then to Dallas, according to
a spokeswoman for the Belgium health ministry, Vinciane Charlier.
"Ebola doesn't spread before someone gets sick, and he didn't get sick until four days after he got off the airplane," Frieden said.
A woman at the Dallas apartment complex where Duncan was believed to be staying declined to answer questions Wednesday. The complex was cordoned off, and the management was turning away visitors. TV cameras lined the fence of the parking lot, and at least one helicopter hovered overhead.
Four American aid workers who became infected in West Africa have been flown back to the U.S. for treatment after they became sick. They were treated in special isolation facilities at hospitals in Atlanta and Nebraska. Three have recovered.
Passengers leaving Liberia pass through rigorous screening, the country's airport authority said Wednesday. But those checks are no guarantee that an infected person won't get through and airport officials would be unlikely to stop someone not showing symptoms, according to Binyah Kesselly, chairman of the Liberia Airport Authority's board of directors.
A U.S. doctor exposed to the virus in Sierra Leone is under observation in a similar facility at the National Institutes of Health.
CDC officials are helping staff at Monrovia's airport, where passengers are screened for signs of infection and asked about their travel history. Plastic buckets filled with chlorinated water for hand-washing are present throughout the airport.
Liberia is one of the three hardest-hit countries in the epidemic, along with Sierra Leone and Guinea.
The U.S. has only four such isolation units, but Frieden said there was no need to move the latest patient because virtually any hospital can provide the proper care and infection control.

Royals beat A's 9-8 in AL wild-card game

ASSOCIATED PRE
Kansas City Royals' Greg Holland celebrates after the Royals' 9-8 victory over the Oakland Athletics in 12 innings in the AL wild-card playoff game Tuesday in Kansas City, Mo.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Rain had started to fall at Kauffman Stadium as the echoing roars finally faded into the night. Eric Hosmer popped out of the dugout one last time, looked to the sky and let it soak in.
Salvador Perez singled home the winning run with two outs in the 12th inning, capping two late comebacks that gave Kansas City a thrilling 9-8 victory over the Oakland Athletics in the American League wild-card game.
Quite a start to October baseball — even if this one appeared to be over with plenty of time to spare in September. But in a back-and-forth epic that lasted four hours, 45 minutes, the As lost their seventh straight winner-take-all playoff game since 2000.
"This team showed a lot of character tonight," Hosmer said. "We weren't going to quit."
It was the final collapse in a season that looked so promising this summer.
"This will go down as the craziest game I've ever played," said Hosmer, who sparked the final Royals rally with a one-out triple. "This team showed a lot of character. No one believed in us before the game. No one believed in us before the season."
GROSSROADS KC GRINDERS
It had been 29 years since the Royals played a postseason game — nearly three decades spent mostly as a laughingstock. But on Tuesday night, already drenched in victory champagne, the young first baseman felt as if the whole world had watched their coming-out party.

Making their first postseason appearance since winning the 1985 World Series, the Royals are sticking around. They'll open their best-of-five Division Series on the road Thursday night against the AL West champion Los Angeles Angels.
After falling behind by four runs, the Royals raced back with their speed on the bases
they led the majors with 153 steals this season. Kansas City swiped seven in this one to tie a postseason record previously shared by the 1907 Chicago Cubs and 1975 Cincinnati Reds, according to STATS.
The biggest one came in the 12th.
Hosmer scored the tying run on a high chopper to third by rookie Christian Colon, who reached safely on the infield single and then stole second with two outs.
Perez, who was 0 for 5 after squandering two late chances to drive in key runs, reached out and pulled a hard one-hopper past diving third baseman Josh Donaldson. Colon scored easily, and the Royals rushed out of the dugout for a mad celebration.
Sitting upstairs in a suite, Royals Hall of Famer George Brett put his hands on his head in near disbelief at the frenzied and jubilant scene that was unfolding below.
said.
"It was unbelievable;" Perez
The A's raced out to a 7-3 lead by the sixth inning, but the Royals countered with three runs in the eighth. Nori Aoki's sacrifice fly off Sean Doolittle in the ninth forced extra innings.
Kansas City squandered chances in the next couple of innings, as midnight came and went on the East Coast and the tension continued to build. Rookie left-hander Brandon Finnegan, just drafted in June, pitched two scoreless innings but walked Josh Reddick to start the 12th.
"They finally got ahead there in the 30th inning or whatever it was," said Brandon Moss, who drove in five runs with two homers for Oakland. "That was definitely the best baseball game I've ever been a part of."
Pinch-hitter Alberto Callaspo delivered an RBI single off winning pitcher Jason Frasor to put the A's ahead 8-7, but Hosmer hit a drive high off the left-center wall against loser Dan Otero for a triple in the bottom half.
Colon drove in Hosmer with a bouncer that barely traveled 50 feet. That set the stage for Perez, who lined a pitch from Jason Hammel down the third-base line.
The long-downtrroden Royals hadn't played in the postseason since beating St. Louis in the 1985 World
Series, and the excitement that permeated the city might best be summed up by a statement posted by the Kansas City Police on Twitter in about the 10th inning: "We really need everyone to not commit crimes and drive safely right now. Wed like to hear the Royals clinch."
"it's kind of a microcosm of the year that we had," Doolittle said.
A much-anticipated pitching showdown between Oakland ace Jon Lester and Kansas City counterpart James Shields instead turned into a high-scoring game and a battle of attrition between bullpens.
For the As, it was a stunning and heartbreaking finish. They had the best record in baseball before wilting in the second half, and needed a victory on the final day of the regular season just to squeeze into the playoffs.
Oakland had chances to put all that in the past. Instead, the season ended abruptly for a team that has failed over and over again in the postseason.
"It was absolutely epic," Shields said. "You don't write a story like that."
Doolittle tried to save it for Oakland in the ninth, but he gave up a bloop single to pinch-hitter Josh Willingham. Pinch-runner Jarrod Dyson was sacrificed to second and then brashly stole third.
allowing him to score on Aoki's deep fly to right field.
Aoki's deep fly to right field.
It was the third time in the last three seasons that Doolittle has blown a postseason save.
"That's the most incredible game I've ever been a part of," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "Our guys never quit. We fell behind there in the fifth inning, sixth inning. They kept battling back. They weren't going to be denied. It was just a great game."
UP NEXT
Yost hadn't picked a starting pitcher for the opener against the Angels. The two best bets are vastly different options: Danny Duffy is a young, hard-throwing lefty who plays on passion, while Jeremy Guthrie is a cerebral right-hander who relies on guile.

Oakland C Geovany Soto left the game after hurting his left thumb tagging Hosmer at the plate to end the first inning.

These Royals never back down from a challenge

Hope isn't a normal feeling for Royals fans. In the past, a
"(Dt explo said but That ther
Royals team emerging from adversity isn't something in the realm of possibility. However, on Tuesday night, as Salvador Perez stepped up to the plate, a newfound feeling struck Royals fans. This year, this team is different.
The game was essentially over. When Yordano Ventura trotted out from the bullpen to the mound — much to Royals' fans dismay — and surrendered a two-run homer to Brandon Moss, the excitement at Kauffman Stadium was deflated.
The Royals had just scratched Jon Lester for three runs after being down two. Then things took a drastic turn after the Oakland Athletics stretched their lead to 7-3. There wasn't a glimmer of hope.
Agai Chie yard as n 26-
There was no way the line-up, that was the first playoff team in MLB history to be last in walks and home runs, must器 a comeback. It foreshadowed doom against one of the best pitchers in baseball who had a cushion to work with.
Baseball, however, is a game of unpredictability and chances. You get 27 outs and it's never over, making it all the more gratifying. And even as the four-run deficit seemed insurmountable, the crowd was still confident in the team that had fought all season long because they remembered how they got here.
The Royals clawed their way back as they had all season, and even with all the managerial blunders and missed opportunities, this team instilled something different. No longer could you turn your attention away from the Royals when the game was seemingly over.
You had to tune in because something legendary could happen.
This is a team that's season was deemed over by many experts when it was eight games back of the division on July 21. The Royals defied all odds and had to have something left because after all, this Royals season has been nothing short of magical.
Manager Ned Yost was berated for saying this was a second-half team. The lineup went through the troughs of getting fooled by subpar pitchers. However, this explains the Royals in a nutshell. When the runs need to come at the most dire moments, sometimes they come in bunches and it's as if you expected it to. If this has happened before, then it's destined to happen again.
The deficit wasn't enough to stifle the Royals' plans of reinforcing the idea that this team is never out of it. And as Christian Colon crossed the plate, the history books can never take this one away.
You have to get some breaks in baseball as the Royals did. However, they never gave in to the idea that the game was out of reach. They knew the fans had waited 29 years for this moment.

A. He wasn't't. Holmes went undrafted out of the University of Texas.
THE MORNING BREW
— NFL.com
Arrowhead and the Chiefs were rocking Monday night
After having the Guinness World Record for loudest stadium in the world taken from the Chiefs by the Seattle Seahawks in 2013, the Chiefs trumped Seattle's previous record of 137.6 decibels with a deafening 142.2 decibels Monday night against Tom Brady and the Patriots.
Good news for the Chiefs, besides the new record, is that after a nightmare start to the season, the Chiefs have trounced their opponents the past two weeks, including wins against the Patriots and the Dolphins.
After committing three turnovers, Brady was taken out of the game when he threw an interception across the middle of the field in the fourth quarter. Jimmy Garoppolo replaced him.
On the other end, Alex Smith did what he pleased against the Patriots defense, completing 20 of 26 passes for 248 yards and three touchdowns, with two to running back Jamaal Charles.
The story of the game for the Chiefs was their ability to run against the Patriots defense. Charles made a theatrical return after sitting out the past two weeks with an ankle injury by putting up 108 all-purpose yards and three touchdowns. Running back Knile Davis complimented Charles with 107 rushing yards.

After the game, coach Andy Reid spoke to ESPN reporters regarding the run game between Charles and
"You can keep throwing fastballs at the defense," Reid said. "It allows you to have two fresh backs in the fourth quarter."
Davis.
Reid's strategy of using two backs worked against a nimble Patriots defense. Charles' speed and Davis' power worked as a one-two punch to keep the defense on its heels. Charles, who has been
the starter since he arrived in Kansas City, was on board with Davis sharing the load.
THE BREW
"We knew before the games that I was going to get some reps and Knile was going to get some reps;" Charles said.
This system of using two backs to wear down the defense looks to be a strong and effective game plan, especially with Davis gaining confidence from Charles.
"We both feed off each other," Davis said after the game. "When he's in,
I know he's going to do his thing. When I'm in, I'm going to do my thing."
Monday night, it worked effectively.

The first game under interim coach Clint Bowen will be Saturday as the Jayhawks (2-2) travel to Morgantown, W.Va. for a matchup against the Mountaineers(2-2).
In John Denver's 1971 hit song "Take Me Home, Country Roads", the singer longs to be home where he belongs in West Virginia. Kansas also belongs in West Virginia, as well, because the last big 12 conference win Kansas captured was against the Mountaineers.
"This is a team we were successful against a year ago," Bowen said. "I hope that this week [Holgorsens]' stomach has settled down a little bit, he's not so sick from last week, and he shows up in good health."
West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen he was nauseous when watching last season's lost to the Jayhawks on tape, and he doesn't want Kansas to repeat history.
The Mountaineers are a week removed from their 45-33 loss to No.4 Oklahoma.
West Virginia's two losses have come to teams inside the Top 5. Besides losing to Oklahoma, the Mountaineers lost their season-opener to No.2 ranked Alabama. West Virginia played Alabama close the whole game, but came out on the losing end 33-23.
In the two Mountaineer losses, Alabama and Oklahoma rushed for over 250 yards, but limited the two high-powered offenses to under 250 yards passing. If the Jayhawks were to be successful against the Mountaineer defense, the best way would be to take advantage of the weak run-defense.
The West Virginia offense, which averages 37.5 points per game, isn't the issue for its two losses. The Mountainerer defense allowed 28 points per game, and without their 54-0 win against Towson, the defense's points allowed would be a lot higher.
The Mountaineer offense averages 401 passing yards per
game, which ranks third in the nation. West Virginia against Alabama, who's the ninth best defense in the nation allowing 14 points per game, threw for 365 yards, which is the most passing yards Alabama allowed all season.
"The quarterback is playing exceptionally well," Bowen said. "This is a very potent offense."
Mountaineer quarterback Clint Trickett has thrown nine touchdown passes this season—three more than the Jayhawks have as a collective team. Also, Trickett has thrown just three interceptions this season—Kansas
sophomore quarterback Montell Cozart threw three interceptions in the first half alone against Texas.
“[Trickett] is off to a great start,” Bowen said. “The key number is that he's completing 72 percent of his passes. And it's not the 72 percent of dropping the ball off on short passes, the guy is throwing the ball down field and completing a high percentage.”
After the Jayhawks take on Central Michigan and Texas, teams that run more than pass, Kansas will have to deal with a complete opposite offensive scheme in West Virginia. The Mountaineers operate out of
the spread, and Bowen said that Ben Heeney and the defense are ready for the spread.
"People all the time label Heeney as a throwback linebacker, but I keep saying he's not a throwback linebacker," Bowen said. "[Heeney] is a modern day spread-offense type of middle linebacker. People don't give him enough credit on how athletic and fast he is on a football field."
The jayhawks offense will look a little different this weekend since former coach Charlie Weis was fired.
As reported earlier this week, Weis won't be the only offensive mind missing from the
sideline. Offensive Coordinator John Reagan will take his talents to the booth instead of calling plays from the sideline. Reagan said this will give him better view of the field, which should help Cozart make better decisions.
"I think that right now with the nature of where we are on offense and the youth that we have regardless of what year they are, we are a youthful or inexperienced offense and I think I can help us more by being upstairs," Reagan said. "I think I can help us more by taking some of the decisions out of the quarterback's hands."
The Kansas offense needs to
pick up the progression as the Jayhawks head into Week 5 by ranking 124th in the nation, scoring 15.3 points per game. The Jayhawks will have to stay with West Virginia point-for-point in order to have any shot of competing with the Mountaineer high power offense.
Before Weis was fired, he left us with a strong message, "Stats are for losers." But the two stats the Jayhawks need to win on Saturday will be the turnover battle and the red-zone success rate. If Kansas can win both, the Jayhawks have a shot to win the game.

Kansas volleyball loses lead, falls to Kansas State
@Corte_UDK
In front of its first sellout crowd of the season, Kansas volleyball failed to show why the team was selected to finish second in the Big 12.
MATT CORTE
Kansas' recent domination over Kansas State was abruptly halted as the Wildcats squeaked by the Jayhawks in five sets, 19-25, 25-23, 25-14, 22-25, 8-15.
It's never easy to point at one reason for a loss, but if there was one, it was Kansas State's ability to turn partial blocks into digs and kills.
"When they dug the ball they had a better chance to transition kill," coach Ray Bechard said. "And if you're looking at one thing in the match, their conversion when they dug was a little higher percentage than the conversion when we dug."
Although it's still early, the loss was crucial for Kansas' chances at a Big 12 title. It now puts the Jayhawks' conference record at a troubling 0-2, with a lot of room to improve.
Up 14-10 in the first set, Kansas' start to the match was strong, and the team looked poised to run away with the game.
That's when Kansas State unexpectedly turned on the jets.

The second set came with a more energized Kansas squad, as the team built a late 18-13 lead. Once again though, the Jayhawks squandered chances and let Kansas State right back in the game, barely escaping the set with a 25-23 win.
Set three gave everyone's heart in attendance a brief break with the Jayhawks steamrolling Kansas State 25-14.
claiming 15 of the final 20 points, winning the first set 25-19, and stunning the crowd in the process.
However, it wasn't meant to last, as sets four and five came with the same high intensity and likewise anxiety.
The Wildcats narrowly beat the Jayhawks 25-22 in set four after holding a 18-13 lead, which set up a decisive fifth set.
"It's difficult," Bechard said. "Up 2-0 on Saturday, and 2-1 (today). That's a reflection of the ability to make enough good volleyball plays to end a match."
Falling behind 5-9, Kansas made its final attempt at a comeback as it pushed the score to 8-10, but it was to no avail.
Kansas State ended the match by scoring the final five points, causing the Jayhawks to lose in a fifth set for the second time in a week.
On defense, Kansas was paced by sophomore libero Cassie Wait and junior Tiana Dockery. The duo combined for 34 digs in the match, 18 of which came from Wait.
Offensively, Kansas was led by senior outside hitter Chelsea Albers' 18 kills, with sophomore middle Kelsey Payne adding 12 in the match.
Kansas will face Texas on Sunday at 1 p.m., with the team attempting to defeat Texas for the first time since 2003.
The Jayhawks' next match comes against the reigning Big 12 champion Texas Longhorns.

DAN HARMSEN
@UDK Dan
DAN: Order of business number one: how has the Big 12 treated the Mountaineers over the past three years, and how would you compare the league to, what was it, the Big East?
MATT: West Virginia was a program in need of a big change back when the Big East was losing teams left and right. They had no other option. They applied to go into the ACC and even the SEC, both of those conferences turned them away. When the Big 12 came up, people were thinking travel was a little outrageous. But it seemed to be the only plausible option. The American conference was the other one, but if West Virginia wanted to remain relevant, they had to go to the Big 12.
The Big 12 was a great thing, spearheaded by athletic director Oliver Luck who spent the majority of his career in the Texas area. When he came in, prior to moving the conference, he hired Dana Holgorsen as head coach and Holgorsen had plenty of experience in the Big 12 as offensive coordinator under coach Gundy at Oklahoma State, so he knew about all the other teams, so that's why Luck hired him in the first place.
The travel does seem a little crazy to some, but it seems as though West Virginia is coming around to the Big 12 conference. When I went to Big 12 Media Days in July, one of the questions asked of Holgorsen was whether WVU felt like they were a part of the conference and he said absolutely. It seems that the conference reached out to WVU and made them feel at home.
DAN: Last week, West Virginia took Oklahoma to the wire in Morgantown, but came up just a bit short. Earlier in the season, the Mountaineers played Alabama close. A few plays here, a few plays there, could this be a 4-0, top-10 caliber team?
MATT: Without a doubt. When you play teams like Alabama and Oklahoma, two teams that are going to wear down pretty much anyone they face. That's just kind of the mentality and make-up of those teams. West Virginia was in those games, playing with both teams into the fourth quarter and they just lost it. Holgorsen said great teams make critical plays in critical situations; during those two games, it didn't happen. Now, during the Maryland game, it did happen. It was actually a great feeling after that game, watching the team celebrate. The Maryland game seems to be the one game that is the turning point in the season. The last four
or five seasons that they've played, the team that won that game typically goes to a bowl game, and it's a rivalry. That game was clutch with a field goal at the end, but when it comes to those two games, two top-five teams, those two teams you could very well see in the college football playoff, but like you said, WVU was in those games.
Holgorsen came in somewhat on the hot-seat, but people in Morgantown are very happy with the outlook of this team now. Although Holgorsen is not interested in moral victories, you've got to take something out of those.
DAN: Injuries have seemed to be the only things that can get in Clint Trickett's way. You have Kevin White, who is the Big 12's top dog at wide receiver. Rushel Shell seems to be finding some holes behind the offensive line. Is this one of the top offenses in the conference?
MATT: I just wrote an article a week ago about how the offense is starting to get back to what Dana Holgorsen is used to coaching. Top 10 in the country-type offenses, especially in terms of passing yards. His teams can swing the rock around with ease.
Clint Trickett, not that he didn't buy in last year, but he showed up on campus last August, and people didn't really know or understand that he arrived late, and Holgorsen did not have a lot of time to sit down with him—he kind of had to learn on the fly. Trickett has said several times that that was his fallout. The offense is completely night and day from last year. When you have someone like Kevin White, he has absolutely exploded, through four games he has the second most yards per game average in the country, which is unbelievable when you think that Amari Cooper from Alabama is the only one ahead of him, who Holgorsen said was one of the best wide receivers he has ever seen. Kevin White is on his way to an NFL career.
Rushel Shell has been a very nice change of pace with the rushing game. Last year, Charles Sims was fantastic out of the backfield, one of the only bright spots on the team last year — now he's in the NFL, a third-round pick for Tampa Bay. With Shell, he is a bruiser, he is a downhill runner, he's going to come right at you. Holgorsen said Kansas likes to fill the box and play one-on-one with the wide receivers, so shots will be taken downfield. Can't forget about Mario Alford. He ranks 36th in the nation in terms of receiving yards, so he is doing pretty darn well. They've got five running backs who are all very good and with this wide receiver combination; the offense is certainly trending in the right direction.
DAN: Running the numbers, West Virginia has been better defending the pass than the rush through four games. Are those numbers consistent with the performance you are seeing from the defense?
MATT: That makes sense. Honestly, a big reason for that, the secondary is very good — the real deal. Now, there's one player that Kansas fans won't be seeing this week, and Oklahoma fans did not see him a week ago as well, Daryl Worley, starting cornerback — he will not be playing. He's indefinitely suspended due to an altercation that he had at a local nightclub with a female, a physical altercation, so as of right now he is indefinitely suspended as they continue to gather the facts. Worley's lawyers said that he will play this year, but Worley is the best player on this defense, only a sophomore with NFL future written all over him; some think he will be an All-American before he's out of here. He held his own against Amari Cooper in the Alabama game.
Karl Joseph, a hard-hitting safety, he's just a solid football player. KJ Dillon was a safety the last two years, but they've been using him at the linebacker position, so he can drop into coverage or play up close to the line of scrimmage. The linebackers have played pretty well. The defensive line is a work in progress. Not much of a pass rush. They changed their scheme to a 3-3-5. This year they went with just bringing three down linemen and haven't gotten much pressure through four games. I would say that that is a very good assessment of the stats you read. The secondary is above par but the defensive line has room to improve.

DAN: Dana Holgorsen said that re-watching the 2013 loss to Kansas made him "want to puke". At today's press-conference, interim head coach Clint Bowen said, tongue-in-cheek, that he heard Holgorsen wasn't feeling so well last week and he hopes that he's better for Saturday. Are there significant intangibles heading into this game despite the fact that Kansas is reeling once again and fresh off a coaching change?
MATT: No offense to Kansas, but West Virginia has looked night and day compared to last year. They are getting back to the good days. The numbers that everybody in the country is used to seeing. It's a Kansas team that seems to be in transition, but as far as West Virginia fans go, it seems as though Kansas has been in transition for the three years that WVU has been in the conference.
This is a must-win game. West Virginia fans are crazy about their football team. It's the pro team for this state. These fans love their Mountaineers. When it comes to playing a team like Kansas, it's a must-win game. If Holgorsen doesn't win this game for some reason on homecoming, if they drop this game, there will be some words being said in the media.
By all means, West Virginia looks like a completely different game as opposed to the last time they played. A lot of that has to do with injuries. WVU looked like a different team emotionally and technicality wise. They didn't have a lot of things working to their advantage.
It's weird because last year they were 4-6 heading into the Kansas game, with Kansas and Iowa State in their last two. Those looked like two winnable games and with two wins they could have made a bowl game. That's not what happened: the season went in the opposite direction as they lost both.
Talking to the players, they remember that game from last year rather vividly. It's not just a revenge-factor. They lost eight games and missed a bowl for the first time in 12-plus years. This program is used to going to bowl games and winning. They are starting to learn that the Big 12 is different and just because it is Kansas, a team that hasn't won a lot of Big 12 games in the past couple of years, you can't let your guard down. This Kansas team is an FBS team, believe it or not. This football team knows they've got to bring their A-game. This new interim, he's a Kansas graduate, a guy who has been with the team for a long time, all the players, along with coach Holgorsen say that he'll have the team fired up for an upset-bid in Morgantown.
DAN: I think I know how you're going to answer this, but just to get you on the record: who is going to win this football game?

MATT: I think it's going to be a close game up to the half. The second half, WVU's offense will be going well. This is a Kansas defense that Holgorsen has a lot of respect for. He says both the corners are seniors for the Jayhawks, which is a lot of the reason for the single-coverage on the outside, they've got a lot of trust in those guys, but I think the way Trickett is throwing the ball around the field, and the way Kevin White is catching the ball, he has at least 100 yards in each game this season, all four games, and he has gone against two of the best defenses in the country, Oklahoma and Alabama. If they are going to play him man-to-man, the recipe is there for White to have a big game. I think WVU will pull away. I think it will be a second-half explosion for the Mountaineers. They should win this one 48-24.

IT RUNS IN THE FAMILY
Role models come in many forms. Sometimes it's a teacher or a professional athlete, and for some, a family member is the most influential.
In the case of freshman setter Ainise Havili from Fort Worth, Texas, it was several family members.
Not only did help come from her sister, a setter for Murray State, but from some caring cousins as well.
Since she was young, Havili aspired to be just like her sister, Lia, and not just by playing volleyball, but by being a setter, too.
"I've always been a setter, and always wanted to be a setter," Havili said. "My sister was a setter, and I always wanted to be like her, so when I first got out there I wanted to set, and it stuck."
"I had a lot of cousins that were definitely influential," Havili said. "They worked at the club I was in for the first seven years, and they really took the extra time to help me get better, and get those skills when I was really young. I think they should be credited for this."
That extra time paid off.
HONING HER SKILLS
At Haltom High School outside of Fort Worth, Havili earned first-team all-district every year in high school and finished her career by being selected to the Texas Girls Coaches Association All-State First Team.
in club volleyball, Havili played for Texas Image before switching to powerhouse Texas Advantage, who has been named the best club team in Texas for 11 straight years.
Texas Advantage coach Ping Cao saw Havili's talent immediately, but he thought that talent could be taken to a new level.
"I could see her potential right when I saw her," Cao said. "But when I chose her, I knew I could make her better, too."
Under Cao, Havili won a club national championship on the U17 squad and was voted MVP of the tournament.
If getting All-State and winning a club national championship wasn't enough, Havili was selected to the 2014 U.S. Women's Junior National Team that competed in Guatemala this summer. She can thank her mom for the nudge.
"My mom told me to do the tryout, and I said 'Sure, whatever,' Havili said. "But when I was picked for the next tryout, I was completely stoked, and then when I got picked for the team, I thought 'What is going on in my life right now?'"
She was one of only 12 players in the country to be selected for the squad.
"It was a huge honor," Havili said.
Having to replace last year's Big 12 Setter of the Year, Erin McNorton, should have been a tall order for Kansas this season. But Havili is making sure the drop-off isn't significant.
OFF TO THE RACES
Her numbers back that statement up as she's averaging about one assist less than McNorton's 12.14 per set last year, which ranked fifth best in Kansas history.
Havili is ranked 31st in the nation with 611 assists on the season, and her 11.11 assists per set puts her at third in the Big 12 and 21st in the NCAA.
It didn't take long to get acclimated to the college game,
either. Havili was named to the All-Tournament team at two of the jayhawks' four pre-conference tournaments.
"She really held us together," Kansas coach Ray Bechard said after the team's first tournament of the season, which Kansas won. "There was a lot of moments there when I'm sure her head was spinning, but she looked composed, and did a nice job as a freshman."
If Havili's 11.11 assists per set average continues, she is on pace for 5,555 assists for her career, which would shatter the previous record of 4,772 set by Andi Rozum.
And if she improves over the next four years as most players do, watch out.
HUMBLE HAVILI
From what everyone's seen so far this season, her talent seems to be endless, but she remains humble.
Havili puts the team first, which gives her the rare ability to be a leader as a freshman.
Cao said he knew Havili had the capability of being a Division I athlete when he first saw her play in high school, and yet, Havili viewed it differently.
Havili said she was 17 when she first thought playing Division I was a possibility, and she is only 18 now.
Edited by Kelsey Phillips
If it sounds unreasonable that someone with talent like Havili only knew Division I was possible less than a year before college, it's because it is. But that's the mindset that makes good players great, and Havili certainly brought this with her to Kansas.
Jayhawks return home for clash with Big 12 champs
KYLE PAPPAS
@KylePap
Kansas coach Ray Bechard knew that beginning Big 12 play with a tough match at Oklahoma, followed by a showdown with rival Kansas State, would be no simple task. It's why the 17th-year coach scheduled a rigorous nonconference schedule that included matchups with Penn State, Creighton and Yale. It won't get any easier this weekend when two-time defending Big 12 champion Texas (9-0, 1-0) arrives in Lawrence for Sunday's match at Horejsi Family Athletic Center.
The No. 2 Longhorns have looked dominant following a 2013 campaign that saw them reach the Final Four before falling to Wisconsin in four sets. With early-season wins against No. 8 Nebraska and No. 9 Florida, the Horns appear poised to be contenders in the Big 12 and NCAA Tournament again in 2014.
Kansas (12-3, 0-1) will need another big performance from senior outside hitter Chelsea Albers if it expects to compete with Texas. Albers, one of two Jayhawk seniors,
leads the team with 172 kills and is second in blocks (44). But more importantly, she's routinely been the one to step up when her team needs it most. Her career-high 24-kill performance in Kansas' conference-opening loss to Oklahoma kept the Jayhawks close in the final three sets.
Senior outside hitter Sara
C
"We have to flip the switch in a couple areas to get different results."
RAY BECHARD Coach
McClinton and freshman outside hitter Madison Rigdon will need to chip in as well.
Though McClinton's 129 kills are third-best on the team, her .170 kill percentage is well below her average, finishing last year at .236. As a veteran on a newcomer-laden squad, the jayhawks will need more consistency from McClinton to be serious players in the Big 12.
Rigdon leads the team in service aces (21) and is second in kills (141). She's been arguably the most productive of Kansas' seven new faces this season, and will look to continue that early success against the Longhorns.
Texas has an extremely efficient offensive attack (.280 team kill percentage) led by junior middle blocker Molly McCage and senior outside outside hitter Khat Bell, McCage, a former No. 1 high school recruit and 2013 All-Big 12 selection, is the focal point of the Longhorns' game plan, leading the team with 78 kills (2.79 per set) and 41 blocks (1.28 per set). Bell, a two-time All-Big 12 honoree, provides a veteran presence as one of only two Longhorn seniors and has notched 58 kills this season on a .278 kill percentage.
"This team will be ready," Bechard said. "We have to flip the switch in a couple areas to get different results."
The match begins at 1 p.m. and will be televised on Fox Sports Network.

WVU wary of Kansas' potential for big play
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHARLESTON, W.Va. — As West Virginia's new defensive coordinator, Tony Gibson has seen the Mountaineers revert to their old habits of letting opponents get yards in chunks, and he said the potential for Kansas to produce big plays is real despite the Jayhawks' struggles of late.
Gibson only has to look back to last year when Kansas snapped a 27-game Big 12 losing streak by beating the Mountaineers 31-19 in Lawrence, Kansas.
Gibson hopes that the only prolific offense he sees comes from his own sideline when West Virginia (2-2, 0-1 Big 12) meets the Jayhawks (2-2, 0-1) on Saturday in Morgantown.
Kansas has been held out of the end zone in two of its last three games. But four of its seven touchdowns in wins over Southeast Missouri State and Central Michigan have gone for more than 30 yards.
"We don't want to get hit with big plays like that," Gibson said.
The focus for West Virginia's defense will be containing mobile quarterback Montell Cozart, sticking to jayhawks receivers like glue while Cozart is improvising and not letting Kansas running backs get to the open field.
Cozart has seen some success but often has made defenses look great. He's struggled with accuracy problems and had four interceptions in a 23-0 loss to Texas last week. Yet he's thrown for seven touchdowns this season, including tosses of 67, 60 and 30 yards.
"He keeps plays alive with his feet and he gets outside the pocket and he can hurt you," Gibson said. "He can throw the ball, especially when he rolls to his right. He's dangerous when he gets on the perimeter. That's something our kids have to have aware of. And again, guys in coverage have to stay in coverage."
Five Kansas receivers are averaging 12 yards per catch. Top receiver Tony Pierson has a 74-yard scoring run and a 67-yard TD catch this season. Pierson "has the ability to take it the distance," said West Virginia cornerbacks coach
Brian Mitchell. "They've got some home run hitters. I think their wide receivers are very capable. They're going to be a challenge."
Especially with a West Virginia secondary thinned by the indefinite suspension of cornerback Daryl Worley, who has two of the team's three interceptions. Ishmael Banks returned against No. 4 Oklahoma two weeks ago after sitting out the first three games from a suspension imposed by the NCAA for an unspecified academic issue.
West Virginia's defense surrendered scoring plays of 75 and 77 yards in a win over Maryland, while Oklahoma and No. 3 Alabama combined for three non-scoring plays of 37 yards or more.
Once teams get inside West Virginia's 20-yard line, the Mountaineers have done nothing to stop them further. Opponents have scored on all 10 red-zone tries this season, including eight touchdowns.
"I think some of the stuff that we needed to work on was bad tackling," Gibson said. "I think we're honing in on what we do well and we're going to get better with that."

Cross country teams return home for third meet
JOEY ANGUIANO
@Joey_Anguiano
On Saturday the Kansas cross country teams will return to its familiar home course, Rim Rock Farm, for the Rim Rock Classic. The third meet of the season features both men's and women's races, with 14 teams on the men's side and 13 teams on the women's side.
The Jayhawk men and women were successful on their home course about a month ago as each took first place at the Bob Timmons Dual Classic at Rim Rock Farm on Aug. 30.
A few teams other than Kansas are familiar with the course, including Oral Roberts and University of Missouri-Kansas City, which both ran in the Bott Timmons Classic
in late August. Since the Bob Timmons Classic, UMKC took fourth on the men's side, fifth in women's at the Forrest Park Invitation in St. Louis and 29th and 30th respectively at the Roy Griak Invitational in Minnesota last weekend. The Oral Roberts men, on the other hand, took fourth at the Cowboy Jamboree in Stillwater, Okla., on Sept. 7, while the women took sixth.
After looking at the competition involved, it is very realistic to expect high finishes out of the Jayhawks this Saturday. Between the familiarity with the course and the times they have been posting in the past couple meets, Kansas should be in good shape.
good
As always, look for junior
Hannah Richardson,
sophomore twins Malika and Nashia Baker and redshirt freshman Grace Morgan to lead the pack for the Jayhawk women. On the men's side, senior James Wilson, junior Jacob Morgan and freshman Chris Malgares have been posting the high times, so they'll look to maintain that Saturday. Also be on the lookout for sophomore Tyler Yunk, freshman Carson Vickroy and Juan De Azar to post times in around the 24- to 26-minute mark.
In the team's last meet at the Roy Griak Invitational on Sept. 27, the men took 11th and the women took 20th.
the day will start with the men's 8K at 9 a.m., followed by the women's 6K at 10 a.m.

Coming off one of the best seasons in school history, Kansas swimming and diving is getting ready to start a new year.
The team lost seven seniors, Sofia Filatova, Alyssa Golden, Malia Johnson, Alison Lusk, Alison Moffit, Morgan Sharp and Sara Snow, from last season, but reloaded with nine freshmen. Hannah Driscoll, Nika Fellows, Madison Hutchison, Nadia Khechfe, Anna Pierano, Lydia Pocisk, Sydney Power, Madison Straight and Zoya Wahlstrom make up the incoming class.
There are 10 sophomores, Hannah Angell, Graylyn Jones, Yulduz Kuchkarova, Lindsay Manning, Amanda Maser, Allison Merecka, Pia Pavlic, Leah Pfitzer, Gretchen Pocisk and Sammie Schurig, that return from last season.
Kuchkarova highlights the sophomore class with her record-breaking performance at the Asian Games last week. The Kansas sophomore hails from Tashkent, Uzbekistan,
and broke her own Uzbekistan national record in the 50-meter backstroke with a time of 29.31 seconds.
Laura Bilsborrow, Meredith Brownell, Bryce Hinde, Chelsie Miller and Haley Molden make up the small but mighty junior class.
Miller leads the pack from last season. She currently holds five school records in the 200-yard butterfly (1:58.58), 1000-yard freestyle (9:49.14), 1,650-yard freestyle (16.09.00), 200-yard individual medley (1:58.98) and 400-yard individual medley (4:07.97). She earned All-American status for her 15th place finish in the 400-yard individual medley at the NCAA Championships in March.
During the summer, Miller took home two gold medals at the Speedo Championship Series sectional meet in July. She won the 800-meter freestyle (8:57.37) and the 400-meter individual medley (4:47.80).
She advanced to the USA Swimming Phillips 66 National Championships
in four different events including the 200-meter butterfly, 800-meter freestyle, 200-meter individual medley and 400-meter individual medley. Miller placed in the top 50 in all four events. Her highest finish at the meet was 10th place in the 400-meter individual medley.
Coaching for the Jayhawks are Clark Campbell, Jen Fox and Brian Pritt. After Kansas finished second in the Big 12 Conference Championships, Campbell was named the 2013-14 Coach of the Year and coached Miller, Kansas' first Big 12 Champion, in the 400-vard individual medley.
Rounding out the team is the even smaller senior class. Deanna Marks and Caroline Patterson are Kansas' two returning seniors. Marks was named the Big 12 Conference Women's Swimming and Diving Scholar-Athlete of the Year last season.
Swimming and diving opens its season on Friday at 3:30 p.m. with its annual intrasquad meet at the Robinson Natatorium.

THE DAILY DEBATE
Will Kansas football score more than 30 points in a game this season?
By Griffin Hughes
@GriffinJHughes
"NO"
The promotion of Clint Bowen from defensive coordinator to head coach isn't bad for the powerful Jayhawk defense. It will be playing under the same system it has played in since the beginning of the season.
For the struggling Kansas offense, however, it's a different story.
Bowen has had little time to work one-on-one with Montell Cozart, and he has almost no experience with a backfield that features two top-class halfbacks. Bowen has never had an offensive coaching job at any level.
Cozart leads an offense ranked No.124 in the country in points per game, and with Weis, the team had all spring and summer to practice under his preferred pro-style system. Given he has no offensive coaching experience, Bowen will probably play more or less the same system, which is an even bigger problem.
The Jayhawks are set to take on the likes of Baylor, Oklahoma and Kansas State
I would say no because this is an offense that ranks last in the Big 12 in almost every conceivable category, and ranks outside of the top 100 in the country in those same categories.
So when it falls on me to predict whether the Jayhawk offense will pull it together and put up 30+ on the scoresheet this year — a feat which, by the way, it has only accomplished four times against conference opponents since 2010 — I would say no.
all on the road, not to mention TCU, who ranks second in the country in opposing points per game. None of those schools give up more than 23 points per game on average, and Baylor and TCU both rank in the top 10 in the country in that category.
I would say no because Bowen has no experience with anything except the defense. Ever. So he'll either have to create his own system or borrow
good ol' Charlie's.
I would say no because just two of Kansas' remaining eight opponents give up more than 30 points per game on average, while the layhawks score just over 15 each game.
Now, I'm a Kansas student, and I would love nothing more than for the guys to rally around Captain Ben Heeney and JaCorey Shepherd's locker room message about brotherhood and pull out a huge offensive display and pull it all back on track.
But with an interim coach who's never coached an offense in his life taking over one of the worst offenses in the country, Kansas isn't likely to put on an offensive showcase.

@PaigeStingle
After being thumped by Texas this weekend, and with the release of coach Charlie Weis, the remainder of the Jayhawks' football season may look grim in the eyes of fans. But these events could be exactly what Kansas needs to finally turn this struggling program around. This change of pace may give fans just what they've been looking for.
"YES"
The Jayhawks face a tough schedule in the coming weeks, playing at West Virginia, at home against Oklahoma State, and then on the road consecutive
weekends at Texas Tech and Baylor. But despite what has proven to be a less than satisfactory season so far, Kansas has already seen improvements from years past. Last year the Jayhawks put up a total of 184 points the entire season. This year the offense has already posted 61 points in the first four games even after being blown out by both Duke and Texas.
This goes to show that the team has the talent and potential to be successful in their conference. Now all they need is the momentum. Star players such as Nick Harwell, DeAndre Mann and Corey Avery have proven that the Jayhawks have the ability to be a competitive offense, but it is their inability to keep the momentum on their side
initially hired in 2011, fans were hopeful that his offensive genius would help the program, but they were disappointed. Kansas has yet to go a consecutive year with the same quarterback since Weis was brought on, and have lost several top recruits who transferred to other schools. Much of the talent has been stifled, but the Jayhawks now have the opportunity to experiment with the playbook and reach their full potential.
This transition will be a make-or-break point for the rest of the Jayhawks season. They have enough talent on the bench to be a real competitor in the Big 12. All they need now is the right coaching. If the team plays to their full potential, Kansas fans can expect to see this season turn around.

that has been a fatal flaw for Kansas.The offense has let too many big plays go to waste simply because they can't keep the momentum going afterwards. When Weis was
Finally, and most importantly, this Jayhawk team has heart. The football team has shared in the frustrations of the fans for the past several years and wants to turn the program around just as much as we do. And they can. They have the talent, and they have the will.

EASTERN HALF CUP FINALS
After its high-water mark season in 2007 when Kansas won 12 games and a BCS Bowl, the program endured a precipitous decline. Twelve wins became eight. Eight became five, five became three, three became two and two became one. Todd Reesing became Dayne Crist. Mark Mangino, 2007 AP Coach of the Year, became Turner Gill. Memorial Stadium became a ghost-town.
Since the conclusion of the Mangino era, Kansas football has puttered around to an 11-41 record. Following the 23-0 loss to Texas, Kansas Athletic Director Sheahon Zenger had seen enough, and fired his second head coach and first Kansas hire, Charlie Weis. Soon after, defensive coordinator Clint Bowen assumed interim head coaching duties.
Who is next? It's all speculation and hearsay at this point.
vividlv.
But before we call interim coach Bowen merely the "duct tape quick-fix" for the rusty, leaking pipe that is Kansas football, I suggest we let the 19-year Jayhawk vet play the rest of this season out. It's the least he deserves.
Bowen's devotion to Kansas football emanated from his podium on Monday and Tuesday. Not only has he coached an Orange Bowl Champion, but he played in bowl games for the Jayhawks as well. For a program that is entrenched in five years of losing and losing badly, memories of better times have become fuzzy, but Bowen remembers them
He's also seen the other side of things: bigger schools snatching up verbal commitments right before signing day, Kansas dropping seven straight games in 2009 after starting the year 5-0 and ranked in the Top 15, and now an self-inflicting offense. The 44-year-old has been a part of both winning and losing Jayhawk cultures. He knows what works and what doesn't. Don't put anything past him.
Earlier this week, Bowen addressed the media with a cool but unassuming look of confidence. The implied message Bowen has made is Kansas football is a duck on the water's surface—calm above the water, but paddling like hell underneath.
Interim head football coach Clint Bowen addresses the media Tuesday and shares his plan for Kansas football.
It won't come easily. Bowen knows as well as anyone what's in store over the next few weeks. The Jayhawks, 2-2, stare down the barrel of the Big 12 schedule that has a combined 22-9 record.
With the mid-season firing, it's not all fixed in Lawrence. In fact, it might be even more of an uphill climb. Bowen will have to withstand hits on the recruiting trails. He'll likely lose play-makers to decommitments. He may even lose some players currently on the roster, literally or figuratively. But in the long run, Kansas football will be better for it.
JAMES HOYT/KANSAN
Moving forward with someone who is fully invested in the football program is in the best interest of Kansas. Bowen fits that description. Will it manifest itself in victories? Maybe, maybe not. But there is no question that he will give
Kansas football his very best. Twenty years ago, on an ice cream date with his now-wife, Kristie, Bowen was asked what he was going to be in life. Bowen looked the woman of his dreams in the eye and smiled. "Well, I'm going to be the head football coach at Kansas."
Kansas football his very best.

Kansas Quidditch to host tournament Saturday
GJ MELIA
@gjmelia
Kansas Quidditch will be hosting the Third Annual Kansas Cup quidditch tournament this Saturday beginning at 10 a.m. at Shenk Sports Complex. The 11-team tournament will feature two Jayhawk teams and other schools from across the Midwest, including Wichita State, Missouri, Iowa State and Arkansas.
The Kansas Quidditch program lost a large amount of seniors last year, and around 50 percent of Kansas Quidditch program members are new.
This will be the first game experience for some of the
new players, but they have come a long way since tryouts in September.
"We just kind of had to start from square one," said senior team captain and chaser Max Wallerstedt. "It can be frustrating at times because we have a pace for where we need to be going, and we've had to slow that down for all the new recruits."
Conditioning has been a point of emphasis leading up to this weekend's matches. Kansas Quidditch has traditionally been a running team — a team that relies on speed and fast breaks to power its offense.
This year's team is smaller compared to last, and is more
focused on defense. They have been targeting the cutting of passing lanes, and converting more fast break points out of their man-to-man defense.
"(All positions) need to be integrated almost seamlessly," senior beater Kate Cooley said. "You could have the best beater in the world, but if you don't have any chasers to back them up you're not going to win. It has to be highly integrated"
With this man-to-man defense, the Jayhawks will run a three-man goalkeeper rotation with junior Adam Heald, sophomore Austin Pitts and freshman Matt Dwyer. Graduate student and beater Samy Mousa is a key player for the team this year. A former
high school quarterback, six-foot-four Mousa will lead the lavhawks' attack.
In addition to Kansas,

year. Missouri and Oklahoma State were also ranked in the top 50 nationally. Those
three setup up to be the three toughest opponents for Kansas, but Wichita State presents a challenge as well. The Shockers upset the Jayhawks in the 2013 Kansas Cup.
"I'm going to make it clear to our team that we need put teams away, that we're able to put away," Wallerstedt said. "We need to perform throughout the tournament, not just in key games."
Seven teams of the 11-team tournament field performed at the Quidditch World Cup this past spring, including both Jayhawk teams.
The first Jayhawk team, Kansas Quidditch, will not take the field until 11:20 a.m., as they have a bye into the
second round. The Crimson Warhawks are the other Kansas Quidditch team in the tournament, and will play their first match at 10 a.m. against Oklahoma Baptist. The winner will play Kansas Quidditch.
The losers of each game will go into a loser's bracket, and the champion of the winner's and loser's brackets will take on each other in the championship game, beginning around 6:40 p.m. If the loser's bracket team defeats the winner's bracket team in the first game, there will be a second game to decide who wins the Kansas Cup.

Kansas will compete in the Sagamore Preview in Noblesville,Ind.,on Oct.13-14.
"It was a bad day overall." Kansas coach Jamie Bermel said. "We were late to the course because of mechanical problems with the van, to find Hudson got disqualified. I think the ruling bothered several of the guys as we got off to a bad start."
Kansas saw two freshmen start in Daniel Hudson and Gary Daoust. Hudson competed last week and had his second round disqualified after an incorrect drop.
Hanna regressed after tying for second in last week's tournament.
"We need to learn from this and do better at our next event," Bermel said.
Kansas finished ahead of five teams, but Bermel wasn't content with how things transpired.
Daoust, meanwhile, saw the first action of his Jayhawk career, finishing with a total score of 229 (+13), tying for 39th overall.

Protests for democracy in Hong Kong resonate with students on campus
JAMES LAMB
@thejameslamb
Wescoe Beach was spotted with yellow ribbons and umbrellas on Friday as a small group of demonstrators showed their solidarity with the protesters in Hong Kong.
The ribbons and umbrellas — symbols of Hong Kong's pro-democracy protests — along with signs that read "Stand with Hong Kong" were used to get the attention of passers-by, who were asked to sign a petition to show their discontent with
"Basically, we were promised a full [democratic] election in 2017, but the government [said] no, out of nowhere," said Gregory Leung, a sophomore from Hong Kong and president of KU's Hong Kong and Macau Student Association. "So we're just protesting and fighting for our rights."
China not keeping to its promise of universal suffrage. The protesters plan to send the petition to the Chinese embassy in Chicago.
Over the past week, tens of thousands have taken part in student-led protests on the
streets of Hong Kong, voicing their anger at the Chinese government's decision not to honor its word. Students at the University of Hong Kong boycotted classes to protest and demand the resignation of the region's current chief executive, Leung Chun-ying.
In 1997, Hong Kong was handed over from the United Kingdom to the Chinese government. As part of the handover, China agreed to move toward the ultimate goal of universal suffrage for the people of Hong Kong and later decided 2017 was the
best time to allow it. However, on Aug. 31, the Chinese government revealed that any candidates for the 2017 elections would be vetted before being allowed to run, raising concerns that any candidates not obedient to the Chinese government would not be allowed.
"We're trying to spread awareness and tell as many people [as we can]." said Inoru Wade, a 2013 University graduate who led Friday's demonstration. "I think its time we take a stand and tell any authoritarian regime
that's preventing people from their natural rights that that is unacceptable and we're not going to stand for it."
The people of Hong Kong have a history of protesting in response to perceived injustices caused by the actions of the Chinese government, said John Kennedy, associate professor of political science and director for Global and International Studies. In 2003, half a million people in Hong Kong participated in successful protests against changes to a security law that threatened free speech. The
importance of a stable Hong Kong may have contributed to the success of the protests.
rong Kong is an important factor of China's political legitimacy. Much of the Communist Party's legitimacy is based on economic development, and Hong Kong is a huge driver of that, Kennedy said.
"The protesters have been very smart, not just occupying and trying to get around government buildings, but

Greek task force launches video
MCKENNA HARFORD
@McKennaHartford
A group of Greek leaders formed a Greek sexual assault task force hoping to create a dialogue about sexual assault prevention and consent.
"There's a lack of education and knowledge about sexual consent, so I'm hoping we can be a resource," Morgan Said, a senior in Pi Beta Phi sorority and student body president from Kansas City, Mo., said.
The task force posted a video Thursday afternoon introducing the group and encouraging participation. Members also reached out to students in the Greek system on social media in an attempt to create a representative group.
"I think it will resonate with our peers," Said said. "This is a student-run and student-led group that wasn't mandated by the administration."
Colin Thomas, a senior from Baldwin City in Beta Theta Pi fraternity, said the goal of the task force is to educate the University community in an effort to take the first steps of creating a solution.
"The ultimate goal is to make sure another sexual harassment case never happens, but to get there there has to be education on sexual harassment and consent." Thomas said.
Ethics, conduct and the consequences of sexual harassment, including
sexual assault, will also be a part of the discussion. Thomas said he hopes the conversation will apply to the entire Greek community.
"The hope is that these things are internalized and every chapter can help resolve this issue," Thomas said.
"There's a lack of education and knowledge about sexual consent, so I'm hoping we can be a resource."
MORGAN SAID Student body president
The interim suspension means Kappa Sigma cannot continue with fraternal activities including chapter meetings. The official letter to the fraternity said they are entitled to a hearing five days from suspension.
Sgt. Trent McKinley said Friday that an investigation is still in progress.
On Oct. 1, Kappa Sigma fraternity was suspended over sexual assault allegations reported after a weekend party. Reports were made to the Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access as well as the Lawrence Police Department on or about Sept.28.
Said said the task force hopes to have their first meeting after Fall Break.

IT tour explores Internet on campus
RILEY MORTENSEN
@RileyMortensen
Across the street from the Dole Center and next to the school's tennis courts sits the Price Computing Facility, the campus' home to the IT equipment that powers programs and technologies including Internet, email, Blackboard, and Enroll Pay. Jeff Perry, KU's former IT manager, gave the Kansan one of his last tours after more than a decade of working at KU.
IT SERVERS:
- Electricity monitored every 12 seconds in the server room
- Nearly 1,300 servers
- 30,000-40,000 handwritten labels for individual wires
- About 85 racks of servers in the Price Computing Building
- About 20 racks of servers in annex of Ellsworth
- When standing in the server room you are about 15 feet below ground
- It takes 200 tons of air conditioning to cool the server room,enough to cool eight to 10 full-sized homes in Lawrence
- It only takes 10 minutes for the room to become unbearable hot if one air conditioner shuts down
KU DEVELOPMENT PAST AND PRESENT:
YOU'VE GOT MAIL:
- Blackboard and other programs most commonly fixed from 4-7 a.m.
- KU was one of 10 founding universities to help develop Internet2,a partnership project with other universities and the government to design new web applications and technologies
- The University is commonly asked why it doesn't outsource its 60,000 to 70,000 email boxes, but price comparison shows just how much they save by doing things themselves. The University pays $1.01 per email box to host them in-house compared to $5.00 per student if they were outsourced to Google.
- IT keeps three copies of all emails campus-wide for cases of disaster recovery
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
CAMPUS INTERNET
CONNECTION:
- There are a few 20-gigabit connections on campus
- 1,000 megabytes equals 1 gigabyte
- There are 2,500-3,000 Internet access points on
- 10-gigabit connections run through campus — 10 times stronger than Google Fiber's
The Data Center for KU IT is housed in the Price Computing Facility on Sunnyside Avenue. The equipment powers all campus technologies.
CALL IN BACKUP:
- UPS battery system designed to power the entire Price Computing Facility for about 12 minutes in power-outage
- Generators on campus have 5,000+ gallons of fuel in them as backup
ENERGY EFFICIENCY:
- 15 minutes: Time the furnace in Price has been on since it was built in the 1970s. The building runs on the heat created by the servers — 14 minutes spent repairing it, one unknown minute

PROTEST FROM PAGE 1
also banks and finance [institutions]," Kennedy said.
Though the protests have been peaceful in nature, counter-protesters who have clashed with the original group may have been motivated by the negative economic impact of the protests.
"You have two sides coming out," Kennedy said. "One says they were paid thugs from the central government. However, another point of view suggests that they were saying 'We can't get to work, we can't pay our rent, you need to clear these streets.'"
Pro-democracy supporters like Wendy Yung, a 2013 KU graduate, stand by the protest, nonetheless.
"Because of the protests, the economy is not as well as before, but that's the tradeoff of it though." Yung said. "You cannot have everything at the same time."
Though no timeline has been set for a resolution, protesters and the Hong Kong government have begun to talk of negotiations.
"I think it's a good sign that they're going to start talking," Leung said. "We're making progress. I don't know how long it's going to be, it will be a while."
That could be one way of dealing with protests, to let it fizzle out," Kennedy said. "We've seen that in mainland China, we've seen that in European countries, we've seen it in the US. It's possible the Chinese government's doing that."
As for what happens in the meantime, Kennedy said letting the protests lose momentum naturally was possibly the Chinese government's plan.
Kennedy said compromise may be possible and the full suppression of the protest was not likely.

University to test fire drills on campus Monday, Thursday
By performing these fire drills the EM team will look for ways to improve building evacuation times. They will also strive to answer questions like: Did everyone make it out OK? Were the handicapped people able to get out safely and quickly? Were all the lights, signs and exits working correctly? What are some ways to improve the time?
The PSO Emergency Management team will be performing fire drills around campus Monday and Thursday to help gauge the amount of time it takes to evacuate each building. Monday's fire drills include locations at Anschutz, Allen Fieldhouse and the athletic facilities — the times were undisclosed.
Each University building has an emergency evacuation plan. Andrew Foster, emergency management specialist, said all 186 buildings across campus, including administration buildings and athletic facilities, must have annual fire drills to ensure everyone is able to evacuate quickly, calmly and efficiently.
"If people don't know how to get out of the building and if the permanent staff don't know how to guide the students out, it could create some chaos when it comes to an evacuation." Foster said.
Emergency Management Coordinator John Marmon advises students to be aware of their surroundings. He said students should look around and see if they can spot the emergency exits and should know the quickest way to get out of the building. In case of an actual emergency, he said students should find the quickest exit point, and they should not take the time to pack up personal belongings.

State grants $250K to Willow Domestic Violence Center, GaDuGi SafeCenter
Recycle this paper
MCKENNA HARFORD
@McKennaHartford
Gov. Sam Brownback granted more than $250,000 combined to The Willow Domestic Violence Center and GaDuGi SafeCenter to support service, outreach and training for sexual assault and domestic violence.
The funds are part of
the $4 million Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Services Grant program, an annual grant for safe centers across the state. GaDuGi SafeCenter received $53,501 And The Willow Domestic Violence Center received $197,033 this year.
The grant funds 25 different centers across the state that help provide for victims.
"The goal of all
of the centers] surrounds insuring that the victim is safe and moving them on," said Adrienne Foster, head of the Governor's Grants Program.
"We've incorporated so many more resources that we couldn't bounce back and provide the same robust and comprehensive support for the community without it."
Chrissy Heikkila, executive director of GaDuGi, said GaDuGi received the same amount of money as last year. The funds help pay for an advocate who specializes
in rural and underserved communities in Douglas, Jefferson and Franklin counties.

Man floating in bubble rescued by Coast Guard
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ORLANDO. Fla. — A longtime endurance runner and peace activist whose latest goal was to reach Bermuda in a homemade floating "Hydro Pod" was rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard on Saturday after he began suffering from fatigue.
those that have lost hope for a better future."
Coast Guard air crew were able to safely pick up Reza Baluchi and the bubble Saturday morning, Coast Guard spokeswoman Marilyn Fajardo said in a statement. He was transported to a nearby Coast Guard station and found to be uninjured, Fajardo said.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
A statement on Baluchi's website said the Iranian exile had planned to make the 1,033-mile trip in his self-designed bubble to raise money "for children in need" and "to ... inspire
Baluchi has made headlines many times before with previous efforts to break long-distance running and cycling records, including one six-month journey in which he ran around the perimeter of the United States, and a seven-year bike trip that he said brought him across 55 countries on six continents. His self-professed mission is to promote world peace and unity. His perimeter run was to raise money for a children's hospital, according to his website.
The Coast Guard arrives on scene off the coast of Miami on Oct. 1 to respond to a report of a man aboard an inflatable hydro bubble who was disoriented. Coast Guard air crew were able to safely pick up Reza Baluchi and the bubble Saturday, Coast Guard spokeswoman Marilyn Fajardo said in a statement.
Baluchi served 1 1/2 years in jail for associating with "counterrevolutionaries" and was hung from a tree by handcuffs for carrying a prohibited movie, Maclay said. The Coast Guard described him as a U.S. Citizen.
Baluchi was granted asylum in the United States in 2003 after being arrested in Iran for so-called pro-Western and anti-Islamic activities, including eating during the holy month of Ramadan, according to his lawyer at the time, Suzannah Maclay.
The "Hydro Pod" is a large bubble made of 3-mm(0.11-inch)-thick plastic, Baluchi's website, "Run With Reza" says. The bubble, which he propelled forward by running inside and pushing it with his arms, was housed in a large aluminum-type frame studded at intervals with inflated soccer balls. A man who appears on a video during the bubble's construction compares it to a hamster wheel.
According to the site, Baluchi planned to run in the bubble in the mornings, cool off in the sea while leashed to the floating sphere, and
sleep in a hammock inside it at night. In addition to the protein bars the Coast Guard said it found in his bubble, he planned to catch and eat fish, the site said.
Officials originally received a report of Baluchi floating in the bubble on Wednesday. The Coast Guard arrived on the scene
about 70 nautical miles east of St. Augustine to find him disoriented and inquiring how to get to Bermuda. Crew members conveyed the dangers of the proposed trip and asked Baluchi to end it.
He refused, but activated his locator beacon Saturday because of fatigue, Fajardo said.

Nothing screams college student quite like "insufficient funds"
'Most diverse' freshman class is not diverse enough
n Sept. 29th.
2014, The
University
Daily Kansan posted an article indicating the 2014 "freshman class is most diverse in school history." The article included quotes from Matt Melvin, vice provost of enrollment management, claiming the University is working very hard to attract a diverse student body. On the surface this appears to be a great success for KU, and more generally the
state of Kansas. The University of Kansas is constantly referred to as the state's flagship institution and by having a more diverse student population, the classroom experience can only benefit. Yes, KU should be proud, but I worry this may be a premature celebration.
The Office of Institutional Research and Planning has yet to release the official racial breakdown of the 2014 freshman class, which most likely won't
happen for a few more months. Until this occurs, I personally, will not celebrate. If current trends continue, which I assume they will, African-American and Hispanic students will make up approximately 12 percent of the freshman class. This means in a typical 29-person class you can expect to have three students who identify as either African American or Hispanic. Are three students enough? Will three students create
the diverse learning community we want from our state's flagship university? The answer to both questions is no. Instead, the homogeneous classrooms we have all grown accustomed to will not change all that much, and tokenism will continue to haunt those minority students who do choose to attend the University of Kansas.
Don't get me wrong, it's great to see the University of Kansas becoming more diverse,
and I will be the first person to admit that, but don't be fooled. Diversity at the University of Kansas takes on a unique title, and I encourage you to hold your celebration until the number of "diverse" students in your classroom is more than just three.

Pedestrians should look before crossing the streets on campus
I have always wondered why pedestrians think they can just cross a street without a thought. Some don't even pay attention when they are jaywalking and don't have the right of way. Is it because they're so distracted they don't know what they're doing? Or do they just assume they always have the right of way and every car will stop for them? I don't know how a person can assume these things and walk across the street without looking up even once. So many things could go wrong.
By now we all know the dangers of being distracted while driving. We've seen the commercials and have heard the tragic stories of people whose lives have been ruined because they were texting while driving. However, I feel that society has started to blame all accidents on the drivers. While driving distracted is terribly dangerous, walking distracted can be equally dangerous. We're seeing more and more accidents caused by distracted walking than we care to realize.
By Adam Timmerman
@AdamTweets4You
A study released by the
Ohio State University last year showed more than 1,500 pedestrians were treated in emergency rooms in cell phone-related injuries across the United States in 2010; the study projected the number could double by 2015. Most of the pedestrians involved in distracted walking accidents were between the ages of 16 and 25. The Kansas City area also saw 119 pedestrians killed and 420 seriously injured between 2008 and 2012, with almost half of the fatalities involving distracted walking. And now we're seeing this problem at KU, with two vehicle-pedestrian accidents already this semester. As distracted walking becomes increasingly prevalent, it's time to acknowledge the dangers of distracted walking.
Cars weigh multiple tons while humans do not. Any car driving
down Jayhawk Boulevard could easily cause serious injuries if it made contact with a person. Now, one could say it's the driver's responsibility to stop, but what if the brakes give out or the driver doesn't notice the pedestrian in time? Or what if a pedestrian just walks in front of a driving car because the person was looking down at his or her phone? The car could easily crush the pedestrian, leaving serious injuries or worse.
Distracted walking, like distracted driving, is an easy problem to fix if personal responsibilities are obliged. We are taught the rules for crossing a street when we are young. Look both ways before you cross the street; take the few seconds to look up and observe your surroundings before you risk walking right in front of a moving vehicle. You're not going to win if you get hit, so please, look up for once.

Should walkers or drivers have the right of way on campus?
Pedestrians always have the right of way
I am not one to debate in public, but when a colleague expressed discontent with the behavior of pedestrians on campus, I sprung into action. Once each party aired its thoughts (one on the side of the driver and the other on the side of the pedestrian) the decision was made to hold a public debate via the Kansan Opinion section. Here is why pedestrians are always right when it comes to the rules of the road.
My first argument is simple. You, the driver, are in a car, while I am on my feet, willing my legs to propel me toward class. For many, including myself, we have trekked up the mountains of 13th and 14th streets and are too distracted by our own gasping to notice your Prius waiting to turn. Since drivers have the comfort of cushioned seats and climate control, they should hold their horses and wait for the bevy of exhausted students trying to make it to class.
My second argument is walkers deal directly with the elements. As a pedestrian I walk to campus no matter the weather, season, the drunkards on the corner of 14th and Tennessee or the underage drunkards at the corner of 14th and Ohio. I am constantly battling rain drops and mists of jungle juice on my way to campus, so don't think I am going

to stop for your vehicle equipped with those lovely little things called roofs and windows. If I am soaked with rain, snow or alcohol, I will not voluntarily wait for drivers to cross the intersection.
Madison Schultz, managing editor mschultz@kansan.com
My final argument is we have the law on our side. We have the right of way. Period. The Kansas Department of Transportation's Pedestrian Statutes clearly state, "when traffic-control signals are not in place or not in operation the driver of a vehicle shall yield the right-of-way, slowing down or stopping if need be to so yield, to a pedestrian crossing the roadway ...
Emma LeGault, editor-in-chief elegauitt@kansan.com
Do all of these reasons mean pedestrians have to be jerks? No, absolutely not. I have stopped for many drivers on campus. These arguments are simply reminders to drivers that pedestrians usually deal with a lot more factors when traveling across campus, so pump the brakes and wait your turn.

Freshman unicycles across campus for convenience

KWANG HYUN/KANSAN
William Elliot, a freshman from Topeka, rides his 36-inch unicycle on campus frequently during the fall. Elliot says he rides the unicycle for its convenience, not for popularity. He's been riding since he was in eighth grade.

@ChwangWittt
William Elliott, commonly known as "Unicycle Guy," is a freshman from Topeka majoring in industrial design. Though he is often seen riding around on campus, the Kansan finally caught up with him.
KANSAN: Why do you choose to ride a unicycle?
WILLIAM: I chose to ride a unicycle after I saw a kid bragging that he can ride a unicycle better than me in eighth grade. After that, I just fell in love with it. I started with a 20-inch wheel unicycle, then worked my way up to a 26-inch in junior year of high school, and I'm currently riding a 36-inch wheel. I can go to places much faster with my unicycle, and it's more convenient to park anywhere because no one is going to steal a unicycle.
KANSAN: Were there any difficulties learning how to ride a unicycle?
WILLIAM: It was tough in the beginning. It was like learning how to walk all over again. Balancing myself on the unicycle was the hardest part. After I had full control of the balance, I felt like I could've done anything with my unicycle.
KANSAN: Do you have any difficulties riding on campus? WILLIAM: Going up on a hill is the toughest one, I would say. It is tough to use my
momentum to get up on a hill. Another difficult thing is the starting and stopping. I had to grab onto things to hop on my unicycle initially, but I taught myself how to jump onto my unicycle without grabbing onto anything. A unicycle doesn't have any brake, so you actually have to slowly decrease your speed to come to a complete stop. After I got used to riding my unicycle, I tried to run one time, and it felt really weird. I had a realization that I was really slow without my unicycle.
KANSAN: You are pretty well-known around the campus. People tweet about you and take pictures with you. Do you feel your popularity around the campus?
WILLIAM. I mean, I actually do. I wasn't this well-known in Washburn Rural High School. People thought I was weird riding my unicycle in high school. Then, I started riding it again on the KU campus and somehow students here actually liked me for that. People have been tweeting and Yik Yaking about me. People always ask me if I can do any tricks with my unicycle, but I'm not into tricks. I wasn't trying to ride my unicycle for popularity. I just love riding my unicycle everywhere, and I like how the students here love it.
KANSAN: Do you have any funny or memorable stories?
WILLIAM: Actually, there was one time when I was in an orientation for KU. There
was one girl who was in my orientation group, and she carefully asked me, "Are you the unicycle guy?" and I said yes. She freaked out and asked me to take selfies with her. There was actually one scary moment when I rode my unicycle at night. It was 11:30 at night, and I was just riding my unicycle, and I just hear frat people randomly yelling and chasing me. It was definitely frightening for me, but I thought it was funny as well.
KANSAN: Are you involved in any clubs?
WILLIAM: I'm currently involved in Swing Dance Society, Tango Club and ultimate frisbee. There isn't any unicycle club at KU, but there is one at K-State. I heard there's around 200 people in the K-State unicycle club. I want to get an unicycle club going at KU. Hopefully, I can start the club this or next semester.
KANSAN: What's your future plan with KU and your unicycle?
WILLIAM: 'I am going to keep riding my unicycle throughout the whole college year. When the winter comes, I might not be riding my unicycle as much as I used to in fall. For my future with KU, I might consider taking two years off for a mission trip for my church. I want to get involved with things with my church.

'Gone Girl' critiques marriage through its shocking mystery
By Alex Lamb
@Lambcannon
FREDERICK AND KATHARINE
On the surface, "Gone Girl" is a mystery thriller about the
search for Amy Dunne (Rosamund Pike) after she disappears on her fifth wedding anniversary. The case brings a firestorm of media attention, especially once her husband Nick Dunne (Ben Affleck) is suspected of killing her.
Amy's journal entries give us insight into her relationship with Nick and her side of the story. We see a blissful courtship and the first several years of marriage in New York City, but that marriage evolves into an increasingly toxic beast, following economic troubles and their move to Nick's small Missouri hometown. These scenes feel distinctly like memories instead of objective flashbacks, straight to the point and inherently emotional, enhanced through Amy's narration of her effectively written prose.
But the movie's really about what's hidden underneath the surface — the ugliness of people's true selves, and the show they put on to convince everyone else they're living normal and happy existences. This is specifically applied to marriage.
They come piece by piece, interspersed between the deepening search for Amy. The search includes community efforts, the investigation of the detective (Kim Dickens) and the police officer (Patrick Fugit) heading the case while Nick tries to figure everything out with his only confidante, his twin sister (Carrie Coon).
Then, about a third of the way through, the first layer of "Gone Girl" peels back in a jaw-dropping twist that changes the direction of the film's gears from an enthralling mystery to a rivetingly, ingeniously plotted thriller. By the chilling end, it has changed into a satire about the politics of marriage and relationships — one guaranteed to spark conversation.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kansas City, Mo., native and KU alumna Gillian Flynn adapted her best seller into the brilliantly paced screenplay, which retains the sprawling feel of a lengthy and extensively detailed novel, packed with frequent surprises and well-developed characters even on the supporting level. Her commentary about marriages prickles with raw honesty and cuts deep with razor wire sharpness, while also eliciting thorny laughs. Flynn's take on Fox News-type analysts eating the characters alive in a case like this is cleverly funny too, while showing how easily the public opinion can be swayed.
Audience perceptions of Nick and Amy constantly shift, the way the public's perceptions of famous figures or those under national scrutiny change when a shocking scandal comes to light or when they say something inspiring or offensive. Both of them have secrets that we discover, and Nick particularly has trouble balancing his offhand charm against smarm, not acting how the media expects an innocent man with a missing wife to act.
sustain him. Affleck nails the put-upon incredulity and emotional distance, while still remaining likable as we learn he's not such a good guy.
Affleck has never fit a role so well. Nick's situation recalls the early years of Affleck's career, when he showed some initial promise but then slid into dramatic dullness and relied on his sweet-talking allure to
Even more surprising is Pike, a revelation here that should make her a star. She's so sweet and smart, and once her hidden side is dug up, she embodies that difference so deeply she puts viewers in an entrancing state of astonishment. The whole film hinges on completely believing her performance, and she pulls viewers to the edge of their seats.
And yet, masterful director David Fincher is the one perfecting every little detail that ultimately makes "Gone Girl" the kind of movie that leaves a deep impact on the psyche and ennacts as an enormously entertaining experience. Every shot draws the viewer in closer to the story, the nuance is always felt, the visual storytelling and editing captivate with gripping control and when something crazy happens, it's

Lena Dunham reveals how she handles critics
TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
Since the debut of "Girls" on HBO in 2012, series creator and star Lena Dunham has endured more than her share of snarky comments and blunt criticism on everything from her penchant for appearing nude on camera to the casting choices on her show to how she compensates local performers on her upcoming book tour.
The score by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross adds to that power, playing calmly and ambiently most of the time with an undercurrent of something upsetting, rising to strength to capture the mood in important moments. It doesn't stand out as much as their work on Fincher's previous two films, but it fits just right with this story.
TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
It's a lot to handle for someone who hasn't yet turned 30. So when she appeared on "The Daily Show" on Wednesday night, Jon Stewart wanted to find out how she deals with all those critics.
Actress and author Lena Dunham poses with her book "Not That Kind of Girl: A Young Woman Tells You What She's 'Learned'," at a book signing at Barnes and Noble Square in New York.
"It can definitely be challenging," she admitted. "It's not something when you're writing in your room and dreaming of this career, you're necessarily like, 'I'm going to have a TV show and I'm going to write a book and everyone's going to hate me on the Internet!'
She then revealed her motto:
"I try to react with class and a little bit of sass."
"Gone Girl" shocks with its twists and thrills, with its stylish and engaging storytelling, but what it really has to say will get under viewers' skin and keep them talking — especially couples — long after they're gone from the theater.
"I would have gone with double guns," Stewart replied, firing his two middle fingers into the air.
Dunham, who was on the show to promote her book "Not That Kind of Girl," recently came under fire by the website Gawker, which claimed she was not planning to pay local performers who would serve as opening acts on her upcoming multicity book tour.
Dunham later addressed the controversy on Twitter, saying. "Some good points were raised
Dunham said she has tried the angry approach, but said, "You end up looking like this crazy gnome throwing rocks out of a cave at the corner of the universe."
and I've ensured that all opening acts will be compensated for their time, their labor and their talents."
Perhaps that can be the pitch for Dunham's next HBO series.

Quidditch team sweeps Kansas Cup tourney
GJ MELIA
@gimelia
YAY AT HOME
The Kansas Quidditch team defeated the University of Minnesota in the championship game of the Third Annual Kansas Cup on Saturday. The team finished the tournament with a 4-0 record, besting Oklahoma Baptist, Oklahoma State and Arkansas on its way to the title.
Minnesota ran a tight zone
throughout the match, but Kansas' defense was able to keep them in the game. Kansas stuck to its gameplan and relied on its fastbreak offense for the majority of itspoints.
"It felt really good to come back and show up for our home tournament," senior beater Kate Cooley said. "We were able to really break down [Minnesota's] zone and get our chasers to collapse the defense."
slowly with a win against Oklahoma Baptist. The team's main focus was to win the tournament, but also to play together as a team with new players on the roster. Moving forward, Kansas Quidditch will look to develop that team chemistry with team-building exercises in practice.
Kansas started the day
The crowd turnout at Shenk Sports Complex was much larger than previous years, with around 100 to 150
Kansas Quidditch supporters cheering on their team. Players said they were able to feed off the crowd's energy and it pushed them to increase their intensity level.
"When you're on the center stage in front of your family, it gives you something to play for," senior chaser Bradley Vonada said. "It gives each game more meaning and it really pushes players to go above and beyond their normal play style."
Kansas Quidditch will be traveling to Stillwater, Okla., to compete in the Cowboy Cup on Oct. 18, hosted by Oklahoma State. The tournament will be a similar format with a 12-team bracket. Among the teams making the trip will be Arkansas and Oklahoma Baptist. The University of Oklahoma will also contend for the trophy.
In preparation for the Cowboy Cup, the team will focus on finishing its opportunities
on offense and putting teams onaw when they hold a lead
"There were several times where we got tackled before we had a chance to make those easy layups." Venoda said. "When we get within arms length distance of [the goal], we need to finish. And that's something that we didn't do as well as we could have in the earlier games in the tournament."

James sits second half. Cavs beat Maccabi 107-80
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CLEVELAND — LeBron James scored 12 points before resting in the second half and the Cleveland Cavaliers gave new coach David Blatt an exhibition win over his former team, beating Maccabi Tel Aviv 107-80 on Sunday night.
James has been monitoring an "iffy" back in training camp. He was kept out of a practice Friday and Blatt is being cautious. James emerged from the locker room at halftime with ice wraps on both knees and one on his back. The superstar spent the rest of the night watching his teammates wear down one of Europe's best squads.
Kyrie Irving added 16 points and Kevin Love 11 rebounds for the Cavs.
Sylvan Landesberg scored 23 for Maccabi.
Understandably, Blatt said the matchup with Maccabi meant more to him than a routine exhibition.
"Personally this is a bit of an emotional game for me," said
Blatt, Maccabi's head coach for six seasons. "I'm playing against the team from which I came and the place from whence I came. Obviously there's some mixed emotions there."
Blatt's focus is on getting the Cavs ready for their Oct. 30 season opener against the New York Knicks. There's work to be done.
Cleveland's ball movement was fluid as players unselfishly made the extra pass hoping to get a better look at the basket. But there were some uncertain moments offensively as well as the Cavs got better acquainted with each other.
Defensively, there are some issues.
Maccabi's players, running a system Blatt taught them, were able to get easy baskets in the first half. Landesberg, who played at Virginia, scored 12 in the opening half and Alex Tyus added 10.
The Cavs showed some of the new weaponry that will make them so difficult to defend.
On a baseline inbounds play
late in the first half, James alertly passed the ball up top to Love, who knocked down a 3-pointer. Love, not known for his defense, then drew a charging foul as the Cavs took a 59-44 halftime lead.
With James on the bench — Shawn Marion started for him in the second half — the Cavs outscored Maccabi 28-16 in the third quarter. Dion Waiters had 12 in the period.
Blatt's arrival in Cleveland was met with some skepticism as to whether he would be able to adjust to the NBA, its players and handle the pressure to win
— especially with James being back.
But Jeremy Pargo, who played one season for the Cavs, said Cleveland is in good hands.
"He doesn't look at you like coach to player or you are beneath him," Pargo said. "He looks at you as a man and he talks to you. That's one of the greatest things about him. And from a coaching standpoint, he has ways of managing personalities and managing games."

Volleyball falls to Texas, drops to 0-3 in Big 12 play
KYLE PAPPAS
@KylePan
The Kansas volleyball team (12-5, 0-3) dropped its thirdconsecutive match Sunday afternoon, falling to No. 2 Texas (11-0, 3-0) in four sets (14-25, 20-25, 25-20, 21-25) at the Horejsi Family Athletic Center. It's the first time the layhawks have begun conference play 0-3 since 2011.
Texas commanded the match from the beginning, jumping out to a 8-2 lead early in the first set. Coach Ray Bechard took his first timeout as his team attempted to regroup, but
after several timely kills from senior outside hitter Haley Eckerman, the Longhorns quickly increased their lead to 13-4 following the break.
Eckerman was a nuisance for the Jayhawks at the net all afternoon, using her 6-foot-3 frame to block and alter many Kansas shots. The pressure from the Texas front line led to a dismal -.023 kill percentage for the Jayhawks at the end of the first set.
"We have definitely a lot of youth on the team, so it's different going against these bigger, more physical teams," freshman setter Ainise Havili said. "But I think we do really
well for how young we all are and we fight well."
Kansas found itself ahead 10-9 in the second set before allowing the Longhorns to rattle off five consecutive points. After the second timeout by Bechard, the Jayhawks responded with four straight points of their own to tie the score, 14-14. Senior outside hitter Chelsea Albers was a key contributor, notching five kills on a .333 kill percentage in the second set.
But after a timeout of its own, Texas appeared to kick things into second gear, riding a strong showing from senior
middle blocker Khat Bell to a comfortable set win, 25-20.
"In a match like today, the margin for error is very small," Bechard said. "You think you're kind of dominating the game, you look up and it's maybe tied. It's just one of those games where you've gotta be very,very clean."
Refusing to be swept on its home court, Kansas showed some resilience in the third set. Albers continued her strong play and junior outside hitter Tiana Dockery began to make her presence felt, recording three kills on a .333 kill percentage. Holding a 16-10 advantage midway
through the set, the Jayhawks wouldn't allow Texas to get much closer, and Albers eventually sealed it with a light touch over the net to take the set, 25-20.
In the fourth set, Kansas jumped out to a 4-0 lead behind back-to-back service aces from Havili. But the Longhorns fought back, quickly regaining the lead and control of the match. The Jayhawks would cut the lead down to just one later in the set, but Texas was simply too much, as the back-to-back Big 12 champions used a late surge to win the set and match
In no way, shape or form
are we any way pleased with a four-set loss," Bechard said. "But I think we're pretty pleased with our response after the break, and those are things we'll build on."
For Kansas, Albers finished with the game-high 17 kills on a .205 kill percentage, while Havili recorded her eighth double-double of the season (41 assists, 11 digs).
With the loss, Kansas falls to 4-36 all time against Texas, including 3-16 in Lawrence. The Jayhawks next play Friday, at 7 p.m., when they travel to Waco to take on Baylor.

Baltimore Orioles players celebrate after defeating the Detroit Tigers, 2-1 in Game 3 of baseball's AL Division Series on Sunday in Detroit. Baltimore won the series 3-0.
Cruz, Orioles win against Tigers 2-1 for ALDS sweep
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT — Nelson Cruz, Buck Showalter and an unheralded bunch from Baltimore swept aside Detroit's Cy Young winners.
Cruz sliced a two-run homer for his latest big postseason hit, and the Orioles held off the Tigers 2-1 Sunday to reach the AL Championship Series for the first time since 1997.
Baltimore opens the ALCS on Friday at home against Kansas City or at the Los Angeles Angels.
Bud Norris outpitched David Price in Game 3 of the AL Division Series. The Tigers scored in the ninth and put the tying run on second with no outs, but Orioles closer Zach Britton escaped the jam and lifted Showalter into his first LCS in 16 seasons as a big league manager.
Cruz's homer was the 16th of his postseason career, including eight against the Tigers. He was the MVP of the 2011 ALCS for Texas in a six-game victory over Detroit.
Cruz spent much of this past offseason without a team after serving a 50-game suspension last year for violating baseball's drug agreement.
Norris pitched two-hit ball for 6 1-3 innings, and Andrew Miller got five straight outs to keep the shutout going.
Victor Martinez and J.D. Martinez opened the ninth with back-to-back doubles off Britton. Bryan Holaday struck out after a failed bunt attempt, and Showalter made the unconventional decision to put the winning run on base by intentionally walking Nick Castellanos.
That meant the bottom of Detroit's lineup would have to come through. The Tigers sent up Hernan Perez — who had five at-bats in the regular season — to pinch hit, and bounced a 96 mph fastball into a 5-4-3 double play. It was Britton's second save of the series.
Cruz led the majors with 40 homers this season, and the Orioles topped baseball
with 211. It was his two-run homer in the first inning of the opener that set the tone for this series, and he came through again in the sixth inning against Price. Cruz's drive cleared the wall in right, about 2 feet to the left of the foul pole.
Not bad for a guy the Orioles signed in late February. Cruz turned down a $14.1 million qualifying offer that would have kept him with Texas — but he ended up having to settle for an $8 million, one-year contract with Baltimore that included $750,000 in roster bonuses.
Cruz's powerful bat enabled the Orioles to withstand season-ending injuries to Manny Machado and Matt Wieters, as well as Chris Davis' 25-game suspension for an amphetamine violation.
Detroit won its fourth straight division title this year, but they couldn't make it four ALCS visits in a row. The Tigers remain without a World Series title since 1984 — a drought one year shorter than Baltimore's.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - A timely trick play and a big turnover helped the San Francisco 49ers to a second straight win.
Fake punt helps 49ers defeat Chiefs 22-17
Colin Kaepernick threw for 201 yards and a touchdown, Frank Gore ran for 107 yards and the 49ers converted a fake punt to beat the Kansas City Chiefs 22-17 on Sunday.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The 49ers (3-2) turned to a trick play on fourth-and-1 from their own 29 early in the fourth quarter, giving a direct snap to Craig Dahl for a 3-yard run up the middle. Kaepernick directed the offense down field, and Phil Dawson kicked a 27-yard field goal with 8:42 to play for the go-ahead score.
The 49ers held off former franchise quarterback Alex Smith and the Chiefs (2-3) twice in the closing moments. Smith threw for 175 yards and two touchdowns, but Perrish Cox intercepted his overthrown pass to end any chance Kansas City had to rally.

San Francisco's win should help quiet all the questions — at least for a week — about whether there's any rift between coach Jim Harbaugh and the locker room.

The Chiefs stopped San Francisco to start the third quarter. Former Oregon standout De'Anthony Thomas ran his first punt return 28 yards, then caught a short screen and sprinted 17 yards for a score to put the Chiefs back in front, 17-13.
But San Francisco stayed focused and never lost its cool. The often-penalized 49ers finished with just two penalties for 10 yards.

THE MORNING BREW
Post-LeBron era off to a rough start in Miami
The NBA preseason began last Saturday as the New Orleans Pelicans squared off against the Miami Heat, which began the post-LeBron era with a loss. The Heat's revamped "Big Three" of Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and Luol Deng struggled to gel on the court, despite each of them playing more than 20 minutes. The trio made just seven of their 27 field goal attempts (25.9 percent) and finished with the three worst individual plus/minus scores of the game.
On the other side, the dynamic duo of Jimmr Fredette and Austin Rivers carried the Pelicans to victory. Fredette led the Pelicans in scoring with 17 points, making three of his four 3-point attempts, while Rivers scored 12 points and dished out six assists in a game-high 32 minutes.
For Miami, however, the implications of this game extend well beyond that of a typical preseason game. In LeBron James' first year in Miami,

In LeBron James' first year in Miami,
The Heat did its best to move forward from the LeBron era, adding players like Deng, Danny Granger and Josh McRoberts, who may even be enough for the Heat to get a top-four playoff seed in the weakened Eastern Conference. However, Miami is essentially finished as a championship contender with the current core of players on the roster.
Since 2010, Wade has faced ongoing health issues, mostly related to his knees. Bosh, on the other hand, has stayed healthy, but is now 30 years old, meaning that he will likely start showing signs of decline.
the Heat opened up the preseason with a blowout victory against the Detroit Pistons. Despite Wade leaving the game with an injury, Miami's "Big Three" got off to a hot start, combining 40 points on 56.3 percent shooting. From the start, fans could tell the team was going to be special. That same feeling hasn't carried over this year.
THE BREW
For coach Erik Spoelstra, it'll be the first time he he's coached the team without championship expectations from the media and fans, but according to him, that won't change the team's mentality.
"We have a Heat standard and that's to compete for an NBA title," Spoelstra said in an interview with ESPN. "That's how we're all wired, and that's what we expect from this team, regardless of what people are saying about us out there."
While Spoelstra will try to keep the championship mentality afloat, there are certainly those who believe the Heat will struggle. For example, the Westgate SuperBook in Las Vegas released its projected NBA win totals last week, in which it listed the Miami Heat as the 14th best
team in the NBA, with a projected record barely above .500.
While Miami's outlook is far from bleak, this will be the first season since 2009-10 that Miami won't be facing the media circus that comes with having the best player in the world on its team. If the Heat can't find a way to come together soon, it could certainly be a long season for Miami fans.

COMMENTARY Quarterbacks can't find a rhythm
By Blair Sheade
@RealBlairSheady
The problem wasn't the Kansas defense.The problem wasn't the Kansas special teams. The problem wasn't the Kansas offensive running attack. The problem was Kansas' passing game.
The lackluster play by the three Kansas quarterbacks who entered the game Saturday impacted the 33-14 loss to West Virginia. Senior panter Trevor Pardula punted 14 times for 621 yards, which is nearly six times more than the three Kansas quarterbacks cocomined.
Sophomore quarterback Montell Cozart, who has started the previous four games, was pulled from the game after completing just four of his 10 passes for 42 yards. Cozart's accuracy wasn't there, and he was missing on all of his deep routes. Cozart threw one pass for 30 yards to junior wide receiver Nigel King, but didn't complete a pass over 5 yards from there on out. Under Cozart, the Jayhawks failed to cross the 50-yard line in the first half.
Interim coach Clint Bowen said Cozart wanted to give his team any chance to win even if it meant Cozart being benched.
"Montell [Cozart] is a tremendous young man," Bowen said. "He's all about what's best for this team and what gives us a chance to win. Obviously, he wanted to play. That what's the kids are here for, and it would make him happy, but he was on board."
After the Kansas offense was shut out for its sixth consecutive quarter, Bowen and offensive coordinator John Reagan gave the ball to senior quarterback Michael Cummings to start the second half. Bowen and Reagan wanted to see if Cummings could help Kansas turn its offensive struggles around.
"I came in at halftime and talked with the offensive coaches, talked with Montell [Cozart], and at that point in time just made the decision," Bowen said. "As I told the team, and as I told Montell, I wanted to see if Michael could go out there and give us a spark."
Cummings barely did anything with almost double the pass attempts Cozart had. Cummings was under center for the whole third quarter and half of the fourth. He was 8-of-17 for 65 yards. Cummings was able to get into West Virginia territory only once.
The only offensive touchdown for the Jayhawks came when Kansas started at the Mountaineers 18-yard line after a West Virginia fumble. Cummings had nothing to do with that score, and he didn't give the Jayhawks a threat. Halfway through the fourth quarter, sophomore quarterback T.J. Millweard became the third Kansas quarterback to play. Millweard threw only one pass for four yards. He didn't look as if he would be considered to start next week because Reagan didn't give Millweard a chance to throw the ball. Bowen did say after the game the quarterback position would be re-evaluated this week.

Kansas defeats Missouri State in annual Kick for a Cure match
LIZ KUHLMANN
@LizKuhlmannUDK
Rock Chalk Park welcomed a wave of pink for Sunday's Kick for a Cure game against Missouri State University (5-7-1, 1-1-0). Despite a slow start, the Jayhawks pulled off a 2-1 win and improved to 13-1-0, 3-0-0.
While the Jayhawks normally pride themselves on scoring early to set the tempo, the entire first half went scoreless by both teams. Kansas dominated possession and shots in the first half, but lacked intensity in the attacking third. Coach Mark Francis said this lack of intensity is what made the game so close in the end.
Despite the Bears getting off a few quick attacks, the Jayhawks took the pitch for the second half with a new sense of urgency. Ten minutes into the half, junior midfielder Liana Salazar sliced a neat pass to sophomore midfielder Tayler Estrada at the top of the box. Estrada promptly crossed it into the bottom right hand corner of the net for her first career goal, and gave the Jayhawks the 1-0 lead they'd been searching for.
going at them. There was no change in tempo in the attacking third; there has to be a point where you're like, 'OK, I'm going,' when you're preparing to score ... the game could've been over at halftime if we'd come out like that."
"We were keeping the ball really well; we just weren't penetrating," Francis said. "When we got in wide positions, we weren't just
"It it was amazing; it was great," Estrada said. "Liana kicked it to me, and I just looked at the goal and shot it
in that general direction, and it somehow found the net."
Kansas wasn't looking to make it a close game by any means, and mere minutes later it was awarded a corner kick that the Jayhawks promptly converted. Sophomore defender Kaley Smith fired a pass to sophomore midfielder Jackie Georgoulis who headed it to junior forward Ashley Williams to put into the back of the net for her sixth goal of the year, giving the Jayhawks a comfortable 2-0 lead.
"Second half was a lot better," Francis said. "We created some opportunities and finished some of our chances that came mostly from just going at [the Bears] relentlessly."
MSU wasn't about to be counted out of the game, however, and quickly took advantage of its own granted corner kick. Lauren Fussel
found the ball after a badly placed clearance and fired a long shot toward the goal past a diving senior goalkeeper Kaitlyn Stroud that landed in the back of the net. The Jayhawks' lead quickly diminished to one.
"You've got to give the kid credit; it was an unbelievable goal," Francis said. "We didn't clear it well after the corner, and she made it, and suddenly it was a one goal game. We've been giving up a lot of corners and defending them really well, but I thought we could've done better on that one."
Kansas defense locked up after this mishap and prevented the Bears from spending hardly any time in their attacking third. The Jayhawks made sure to remain in possession for the majority of the remaining time, and tallied off another few shots to keep the Bears on their
toes before the final buzzer sounded, signaling another Kansas victory.
Estrada said each win is important to the team.
I think it's great we've won 13 games," Estrada said. "I mean, last year we only won seven, so to have already won 13, that's huge. It gives us confidence."
"Our kids will be ready, and hopefully we'll get some people back that we've been missing who have been hurt or sick, so that will be nice," Francis said. "We'll be operating with mostly a full squad."
The Jayhawks will travel to Texas Friday to take on a tough Longhorn team at 7 p.m. Francis said the team has five conference games left, and none of them will be easy.

Kansas' JaCorey Shepherd (24) knocks down a pass intended for West Virginia's Mario Alford (5) during the fourth quarter of the Jayhawks' game in Morgantown, W.Va., on Saturday. West Virginia won 33-14.
I DAN HARMSEN
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Senior punter Trevor Pardula had a career day in the Jayhawks' 33-14 loss to the West Virginia Mountaineers, but it was the Kansas defense that helped keep the defeat misleadingly respectable.
Even with two of its four games against defensive powerhouses Alabama and Oklahoma, West Virginia (3-2,1-1) entered the rematch of last year's 31-19 Kansas upset victory averaging 37.5 points, 551.5 total yards and 28.5 first downs per game. Kansas coach Clint Bowen raved about how potent the Mountaineers' offense was going into the matchup.
The Jayhawk defense held the Mountainers at about or below their season average in those three categories: 33 points, 557 total yards, and 25 first downs.
"I've been talking about it all week," West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen said. "These guys (Kansas) are good on defense."
After allowing 16 points in the first quarter and another 10 in the second, the Kansas defense clamped down and held West Virginia scoreless in the second half. The Mountaineers' lone score after halftime came on Mario Alford's 94-yard kickoff return.
While Kansas did not have the horses to win at West Virginia's Homecoming, the team fought valiantly for their interim coach over a full four quarters, winning the second half 14-7.
"I think at the end of the game, our boys were still into it." Bowen said.
And on the day, six Mountainineers had at least one carry of over 13 yards.
As was the case in the Duke game, the Kansas defense allowed too many big plays. Senior defensive back Dexter McDonald had to come to the sideline for a play late in the first quarter, and the Mountaineers took full advantage. West Virginia wide receiver Kevin White got loose for a 63-yard touchdown reception from quarterback Clint Trickett over freshman cornerback Matthew Boateng, filling in for McDonald.
But because the offense didn't turn the ball over — as it did four times last week — the Kansas defense faced less daunting starting field positions.
Pardula also helped pin the Mountaineers inside their 20-yard line three times, while kicking four touchbacks. It was a career-high punt attempt for No.16, who has given the Jayhawks incredible value all season, but particularly Saturday by averaging 44.4 yards per boot.
But against a hefty Mountaineer offense, a
If you look at their tapes, they give up big plays every now and then," Holgorsen said. "They get put in bad situations by their offense. Defensively, they held their own a lot."
Yet Kansas kept the score decent, forcing four West Virginia punts and five field-goal attempts. The unit also forced a fumble and junior safety Isaiah Johnson intercepted a pass.
caliber of opponent that Kansas will face weekly through the rest of the Big 12 slate, the Jayhawks didn't get enough assistance.
"It's hard for us to call plays when they change their defense a lot," Holgorsen said. "They are good against the run. They mix things up."
Kansas (2-3, 0-2) has a lot of questions to answer, starting with an offense that consistently puts up nominal numbers and a quarterback position that is starting to, once again, look like a merrygo-round. But the Kansas defense, barring big plays, should give Kansas a chance as Oklahoma State comes to Lawrence on Saturday.

Engaging young voters proves to be a challenge

With the general election less than a month away in a tight gubernatorial race, both Paul Davis and Sam Brownback are ramping up efforts to pursue voters. But neither candidate appears to be making a significant effort to reach college students.
"It's almost like we're not important enough to make it on their list, and I think that's a problem," said Morgan Anderson, a sophomore from Goddard and president of the College Republicans at KU. "But they also have to look at targeting of who their likely voters are."
Campaigns continue to distribute information through traditional outlets - such as TV advertising and mailing brochures and newsletters that do not reach many students. Anderson said students are more likely to participate in politics through social media.
"Sometimes campaigns respond to social media against a certain issue or against a particular thing that's going on in the world," Anderson said. "But I think a lot of times, with some of the old school tactics of contacting your congressman, or even a phone call, students just don't have the time. It's not what students do."
Chris Pumpelly, spokesman for the Davis-Docking campaign, said social media is a useful tool for reaching students and other audiences, but the primary function is to amplify messages to a general audience. He said the concerns of students are typically consistent with the concerns of all Kansans.
Because students are often first-time voters, they can be difficult to assess and motivate. Burdett Loomis, a professor in the political science department, said he believes the student vote typically hasn't made a difference.
"The student vote is like the great white whale — you know it's out there, but it's rarely seen,"
Loomis said. "And you wonder, no matter what you did, could you get it to show up?"
"it's almost like we're not important enough to make it on their list, and I think that's a problem."
Loomis said he believes students are generally disengaged from the political process. While some are turned off by the political system, others are merely uninformed or don't know the necessary steps to register and vote.
MORGAN ANDERSON Sophomore from Goddard
Every vote counts equally, but it can be difficult for individual students to see the impact of their participation. Brittany Bodenheimer, a sophomore from Topeka and president of Young Democrats, said this is an issue in student voting.
"The state has always treated students as stepchildren," Loomis said. "Vote back in your district,' and stuff like that. I think even most Lawrence residents aren't too crazy about having students vote in their district."
Loomis holds the state partially responsible for low student turnout because of its treatment of young voters. It can be difficult for students to register because the state requires proof of citizenship when voters register for the first time.
"I think a lot of students assume that their vote doesn't matter, and that attempting change is useless," Boden-
Despite the traditionally low turnout, students like Natalie Parker, director of communications for the Future Majority, have attempted to increase the student vote with on-campus
heimer said.
efforts. Numerous campus groups including the Future Majority, College Republicans, Young Democrats, Student Senate and the Dole Institute of Politics have worked together to hold a voter registration drive that began Sept. 30 and will continue through Oct. 7.
In addition to apathy, many students don't vote because of barriers with registration. Others have trouble with absentee voting. Finding information and resources in college can be difficult even as a Kansas native, Bodenheimer said.
"Knowing how to register, where to vote and when, are all questions that we're asked that can sometimes lead to simple disengagement from the process," Bodenheimer said.
The SAFE Act — enacted in January 2013 — requires Kansans to show proof of citizenship upon registering to vote. This can be a challenge for students living away from home, who may not have these documents readily available.
Students registered outside of Douglas County tend to be disengaged from issues in their hometowns and struggle to stay informed.
"I think a lot of people kind of forget about voting when they go off to school unless they switch their voter registration to where they attend school,"
Anderson said. "I think it's really difficult for students to feel like they have a voice in the political process."
With multiple barriers to voting and consistently low turnout among this unproven populace, Loomis said neither party is confident enough in a positive outcome to invest heavily in the student vote.
"With both Republicans and even Democrats, if you look them in the eye you'll find they have better places to increase their turnouts," Loomis said.

The University's IT department proactively monitors security risks, and most issues are taken care of before they impact students, said David Day, IT director of External Affairs. For this reason, there aren't specific numbers of how many security problems are prevented by the IT security office. Even though security risks are monitored, Day said students should still take preventative measures.
Sharing specific security problems is not possible because of privacy, but Day said there is one frequent online issue.
Sarah Wages, a freshman from Lake of the Ozarks, Mo., said she doesn't know or understand how exactly to take such measures.
When a hacker wants to get personal information, he or she will often do something called "phishing." Basically, they trick their target into giving up important information by masking websites as prize giveaways or fake websites.
"One fairly common technique is emails that look like they come from a bank or other financial institution, asking you to click on a link and log into your account," Day said. "That should always raise red flags."
"The challenge with students is that security problems can be related to their KU accounts or their personal accounts;" Day said.
Day said students can deal with possible phishing emails by calling the bank to see if it sent the email or simply going to the institution's website directly and logging in through it, rather than a link provided.
KU IT devotes most of its time to dealing with issues on University accounts, Day said, so it's up to students who use multiple personal devices and accounts to take preventative

News of the court's denial is particularly important for LGBTQ students at the University. Jake McMillian, a third-year law student from Kansas City, Kan., got the news from a friend who works on Capitol Hill about an hour before the news went public. McMillian was sitting on his couch when he got the call.

McMillian was initially disappointed at the court's denial to hear the cases. McMillian said he feels same-sex marriage is an important enough issue that requires the immediate ruling of the court. Despite his initial disappointment, McMillian is
What does this mean for Kansas? According to www.freedomtomarry.org, Kansas is part of the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals along with Oklahoma and Utah, both of which have legalized same-sex marriage. Sharing the same circuit court with two states where same-sex marriage is legal has many thinking Kansas will soon follow suit. The website also reports that same-sex couples in Kansas have already applied for marriage licenses after the news of the Supreme Court's refusal broke this morning, but they were denied due to its currently being illegal.

Kansas could see samesex marriage legalized
Monday morning, the U.S. Supreme Court denied to hear cases on same-sex marriage bans that involved Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia, Wisconsin and Indiana. The denial marked another victory for same-sex marriage advocates in those five states, whose bans on same-sex marriage were struck down by federal appeals courts earlier this year.

NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Kevin Harvick has a tire changed on pit row during a race at Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kan., on Oct. 5.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Goodyear might be to blame for tire problems
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — It's impossible to be perfect, to always get everything right and never fail at all.
To listen to Goodyear officials, the company never, ever comes up short at the race track.
It sure sounded like Goodyear thought it was off the hook on Sunday after a tire problem caused Dale Earnhardt Jr. to hit the wall while leading at Kansas Speedway. Then Brad Keselowski suffered a similar fate, and Kasey Kahne also thought an issue with his tires sent him into the wall.
It dropped all three drivers into the bottom of the Chase for the Sprint Cup standings, in serious jeopardy of elimination from the championship race in two weeks.
So what happened? Good-year director of racing Greg Stucker didn't have a definitive answer during Sunday's race but sure seemed to be pointing the finger at the race teams.
"We're trying to figure out exactly what the issue is with the teams. Obviously, a race like this in the Chase, everybody is kind of up on the wheel and really pushing the envelope," said Stucker, who hinted that "adjustments"
made as the race progressed led to issues that didn't exist during the first green-flag run.
Once again, we are led to believe this was not a Goodyear issue, but a problem with teams pushing the limits of their tires in an effort to capitalize in an important Chase race. Really? In a race where the risk was far greater than any expected reward?
Shame on Hendrick Motorsports and Team Penske if they were so aggressive that their drivers are now in danger of not advancing to the third round of the Chase. And poor Kevin Harvick, who took note of his rivals' problems and feared he was next when his car suddenly struggled to turn as he was running third with a shot at the win. Harvick made an unscheduled pit stop — forfeiting any chance at victory — to get the tires off his car before they completely detailed his season.
Only he was wrong, the problem wasn't with his tires, and his paranoia led to an unsatisfying 12th-place finish. But, hey, Harvick got off easy. Kahne finished 22nd, Earnhardt was 39th and Keselowski 36th in a race won by teammate Joey Logano.
to disparage Goodyear, NASCAR's exclusive tire provider. Much ado was made earlier this season when Jimmie Johnson crew chief Chad Knaus sarcastically quipped on the team radio that tire problems at Bristol were surely "something we did. I'm sure it's our fault."
Drivers are very careful not
It forced Johnson into a meeting with Goodyear officials where the tire manufacturer and the driver privately agreed to disagree on the cause of his failure.
It put Johnson in no mood to be politically correct come New Hampshire in July, when two tire problems in the first 11 laps of the race ended his day.
"I'm expecting people to quickly point back at the team and say it's our fault," the six-time and defending NASCAR champion said that day.
Enough is finally enough. Yes, Goodyear must deal with repaved race tracks and changing rules, but it's implausible to believe Goodyear is never to blame (the company did accept fault for the 2008 debacle at Indianapolis). What's closer to the truth is that Goodyear's tire development, at times, is simply not acceptable for the top motorsports series in the United States.

hopeful the court will rule in favor of the LGBTQ community in Kansas after similar rulings in Oklahoma and Utah.
"I just wanted it now so people who are advocates can start advocating for whatever comes next," he said.
Though he won't be getting married anytime soon, McMilian said he has friends planning on getting married when same-sex marriage is finally legalized.
"I think that anytime something as important as [same-sex] marriage is legalized, it makes the culture better for all gay people," he said. "I hope that campus becomes safer. I hope it becomes more comfortable, more tolerant. I hope that Kansas becomes safer and more comfortable and more tolerant, because it's not just a KU thing, obviously, it's a Kansas thing."
McMillian thinks that once same-sex marriage is legalized in Kansas, it will help point campus culture regarding same-sex marriage in a positive direction.
Charles Dedmon and Michael Nelson, a married same-sex couple and KU alumni living in Kansas, have a pending lawsuit with the Kansas Department of Revenue to recognize their marriage. Dedmon and Nelson were married in California, but chose to live in their native state of Kansas hoping to help legalize same-sex marriage. For them, hearing their marriage may soon be recognized in their home state was shocking and just what they've been fighting for.
Dedmon said Nelson broke the news to him after they'd received an email from their attorneyabout the Supreme Court's decision. At first, they weren't quite sure what it meant or how itwould affect their lawsuit. Once they processed the news, however, they were thrilled.
"It's a great non-decision by the Supreme Court. Sometimes they do as much by not acting as they can by acting." Dedmon said.
Dedmon is unsure how this will affect the couple's lawsuit since they filed both state and federal claims, saying the federal government doesn't like to get involved with state law decisions.
Dedmon said that the denial will likely speed up the process. Although Dedmon and Nelson are already married, if same-sex marriage is legalized
in Kansas, they will be thrilled to celebrate with same-sex couples here. Dedmon said that they'd likely go to Topeka to stand on the steps of the Capitol in victory.
"All the people that don't have the energy, the time, the money to get involved in this litigation, but they do have enough money to get married, and they can come to Topeka," Dedmon said.

The Office of Public Safety conducted fire drills in Allen Fieldhouse, Anschutz Sports Pavilion and Wagnon Student Athlete Center on Monday, Oct. 6. The fire drills are performed to not only help students know what to do in an emergency situation, but to help maintenance check and ensure that all the lights, monitors, alarms and doors are working correctly.

Program encourages staff, faculty fitness
KELSI KIRWIN
@knkirwinUDK
The Feel Good Fitness Program at the Robinson Center allows faculty and staff to utilize the recreation facilities during lunch breaks and at the end of the work day free of charge, however, its founder would like to see more members take advantage of it.
The program, created by Dr. Mary Fry, associate professor of health sport and exercise science, is working to encourage staff and faculty to use the facilities available to them to improve their health and well-being.
Out of the 2,700 faculty members at the University, 133 staff and faculty members filtered through the facilities at noon on Monday. While
Mondays are the Center's busiest days. Fry feels as though there could be more members making use of it.
"What's unfortunate is the people who use it are, for the most part, comfortable with exercising without any help and for staff who are uncomfortable exercising, there is no one here to help get them started," Fry said.
Last fall, Fry and her graduate exercise psychology class held an event at the Robinson Center to promote the program. Her students gave tours of the facilities to familiarize people with the weight room, pool, aerobics areas and basketball courts. Over 350 staff and faculty attended the event. Since then, the amount of staff and faculty utilizing the facilities has increased.
Theresa Brown, director of student affairs research, attended the event as well. Brown's research looks at what motivates a person to exercise and last year she assessed the staff and faculty's needs after attending the event. She found
"We would love to keep building the culture of health and wellness among our faculty."

that most people asked for a walking program, so she applied for a research grant for pedometers for the staff and
faculty.
The grant, sponsored by the Faculty and Staff Wellness Committee, recruits 105 participants to use pedometers throughout the day and they are encouraged to reach 10,000 steps. A group of students hand-delivered flyers promoting the grant and word spread like wildfire. In just one day, Brown had twice as much interest in the program than there were funds. There was even interest from students who had to be turned down as it is only a program for the staff and faculty.
"It was neat the way news spread so quickly about the program," Brown said. "It shows a strong interest on campus to fit in physical activity."
According to the Mayo Clin
ic, adults should aim for at least 30 minutes of physical activity every day. This can be a difficult feat to achieve for some staff and faculty, especially if they don't have the luxury of having an office in Robinson like Dr. Fry, who uses the pool at least twice a week. However, that is the purpose of the Feel Good Fitness Program.
"The program puts emphasis on getting people active, comfortable and healthier," Fry said. "We would love to keep building the culture of health and wellness among our faculty. Wherever you are on your fitness journey, you are welcome here."

Office of Study Abroad changes travel registry
LAUREN METZLER
@MetzlerLauren
The Office of Study Abroad will be holding an information meeting to discuss the new Student International Travel Registry Tuesday at 2:30 p.m.
The information session will be held in Blake Hall, room 109. Two other sessions will be held on Nov.4 at 2:30 p.m. in the Gridiron Room of the Burge Union and on Dec. 2 at 2:30 p.m. in Wescoe Hall, room 4062.
The travel registry is designed for faculty,graduate students, and undergraduate students who are overseas doing academic work connected to the University but not through an established study abroad program, Angela Perryman, director of the Office of Study Abroad, said.
This can include: internships, research projects, and other study-based work that is not for KU credit. The Student International Travel policy was revised in May 2014 and has since seen 131 students register, Perryman said.
The registry creates an information network for students abroad. It provides country-specific travel information before students travel. It can also send out updates like locations of possibly dangerous situations so that students can revise their travel plans. This makes quick location and evacuation possible in the event of an emergency.
For students doing work that applies to registry guidelines, sign up is required. To register, students must submit the following information: emergency contact information, a photocopy of one's
passport, flight itinerary and travel plans, a completed student liability lease, health insurance certification, medical release form, emergency evacuation and repatriation insurance, and a travel proposal and emergency management plans for group programs.
"We're seeing more students who are going international than we ever have and they're going abroad to do all kinds of interesting things."
ANGELA PERRYMAN Director
Perryman said.
"I want students to know that this is a [...] relatively quick and painless process that has great benefit to them,"
Hannah Boyd, a senior from Tulsa, Okla., spent last summer doing biology research in the Amazon with Dr. Caroline Chaboo, assistant professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology.
Although Boyd was unable to check her email for the duration of her research project for lack of internet, she said the application process was straightforward.
"They help you along." Boyd said. "If there's stuff that still needs to be done, they send you emails to remind you. For people like me, it's great."
The need for this program became apparent in incidents like the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, Perryman said. In such a situation, the University could quickly identify what faculty and students were overseas, but there was a gap
for these students who were abroad.
"We're seeing more students who are going international than we ever have and they're going abroad to do all kinds of interesting things," Perryman said. "Universities are thinking, 'This is fantastic, how do we support students?'"
If students are unsure whether their travel plans falls under registry guidelines, Holly Presnell, an on staff advisor at the Office of Study Abroad is overseeing the registry and meeting with students.
For more information on the registry, visit the Office of Study Abroad located in Lippincott Hall, Room 108. Students can also call (785) 864-3742 or email studyabroad@ku.edu.

96 years ago this week, the entire KU campus was closed for a whole month due to an influenza pandemic. Students were forbidden to gather in large groups or leave campus.
Student group to host speaker tonight
A political group on campus is hosting an event tonight called, "Money Matters" where Dr. Duane Goossen will discuss rising costs of tuition and what money means to students.
The event is on the fifth floor of the Union and is hosted by the Future Majority, a nonpartisan group of students and young people who engage peers to promote education, common sense and representation in Kansas, according to their Facebook page.
Goossen, who currently serves as the vice president for fiscal and health policy at the Kansas Health Institute, will speak about rising costs of the University's tuition in comparison to current inflation.
Goosen served as state budget director for 12 years under three different governors.
The event begins at 7 p.m. and includes free pizza.

Faculty has responsibility to address sexual assault
The Department of English wishes to take up the challenge issued by the September Siblings and other students to examine the institutional climate in which sexual violence has been able to cause widespread and too often unknowledged suffering. Specifically, we wish to answer the call made by Alesha Doan, chair of Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies and co-chair of the Sexual Assault Task Force to follow these students' courageous example and continue to speak out. It is our responsibility as a community to keep breaking the silence, to draw attention to the pervasive patterns of sexual violence which our culture tolerates, to call for and actively support
changes in policy and implementation that prevent and punish such violence, and to make ourselves and others accountable for seeing that such changes become permanent.
In our role as an academic unit, we can best address this through teaching and research. We often witness the impact of sexual violence on the lives of our students. In our classrooms, we need to practice structuring inclusive conversations about systemic violence and sexual assault and the pain and damage they cause. There are many ways we can do this: through the texts we teach, in discussion of current events and by using language that respects the seriousness of sexual violence.
These conversations
can connect students with one another and with their teachers in ways that produce powerful learning experiences, even as they raise consciousness about a pervasive and deadly problem. Teachers need to be trained in leading discussion around these issues as well as in how to best provide first-response support. As instructors, we need to be ready to direct students who confide in us to resources that can provide the strongest forms of survivor advocacy (e.g. the Emily Taylor Resource Center and Lawrence-based GaDuGi). As an institution we need to act to ensure that those resources are truly robust.
The task force has been charged
by our chancellor with examining KU policy, practices and sanctions, the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities, and the adequacy of survivor services and prevention programs.
Even as members began working on these immediate goals, their first meeting also powerfully highlighted our responsibility and our opportunity as a research institution to become a national leader in prevention and survival. Two of our Bold Aspirations strategic initiatives,"Promoting Wellbeing"and "Building Communities"invite us to link research opportunities with prevention programs, to generate and analyze data and to open up critical conversations that together can
drive decisions about prevention, safety and survivor needs.
We are proud of our students for speaking out and we take their demands seriously. We are grateful to the task force members who have taken on this crucial work. We need to help put their recommendations into action through our teaching, our research and our service as citizens of KU and the larger community beyond the campus. In these ways, we can help uproot norms that enable sexual pressure and assault on campus even as we make meaningful contributions to a nationwide conversation whose urgency must not be allowed to fade.

City-wide recycling is exactly what Lawrence needs
The City of Lawrence is in the process of
providing each singlefamily and multi-family residences in Lawrence with new, blue recycling bins. Collections will occur on an every-other week basis, adding a mere $2.81 per month to each resident's utility bill, and will begin the third week of October.
Until now, several private recycling companies have been providing their services in Lawrence, most notably Deffenbaugh Industries. Deffenbaugh has been picking up recycling bins on a weekly basis for an average of $5.00 a month. The switch from weekly to bi-weekly pickups shouldn't be a problem for households that accumulate significant amounts of recycling
because the City will provide extra bins upon request at no extra charge.
Even though Defenbaugh has decided to end its business in Lawrence (since Lawrence will practically monopolize the recycling market), small recyling businesses should not expect to suffer much. They have been included in the City's planning discussions since the citywide recycling decision was made a year and a half ago, and they contend that loyal customers will still recycle with them. Furthermore, the City's bi-weekly pickups may cause residents to continue recycling with them, or take an occasional trip to other recycling centers around Lawrence.
What a victory for the

environment. Nearly everyone will have the opportunity to recycle at a low cost, and local businesses have been treated well in the process of implementing this plan.The citizens of Lawrence need to make the most of this new opportunity.I hope not only that more people will now recycle regularly,but also that people will start to develop waste-reducing mentalities.
In this country, space is not an issue, and throwing everything in the trash seems to be a widely accepted practice
justified by habit and laziness. On the other hand, my grandmother, who lives in Europe, gets fined if she does not recycle recyclable items. In countries where space is so tight that driving a Smart car is actually smart instead of comical, recycling is often mandatory and controlled by the government. Though Lawrence isn't quite that strict, I'm glad to see that we are moving in the right direction.
When you are confronted with the option of throwing away versus recycling, I hope that a moral bell rings and you decide to spend those extra seconds to break down a cereal box instead of chucking it. I'm convinced that by simply providing an option for recycling, mentalities about waste
will change. People will become conscious about more than just recycling; this can become a domino effect for more conscious thoughts on water usage, electricity usage and so on.
Lawrence has provided a truly wonderful opportunity for its citizens to collectively reduce waste and develop waste-reducing mentalities. So, while Rosneft and ExxonMobil begin pumping crude oil from the Arctic and start damaging yet another environment, we can at least be happy with our small, though absolutely important, environmental victory at home

Jill Urkowski of KU Recreation Services is bringing Pound, a now cardio workout program that combines drumming and dance, to the University.

Once Jill Urkoski, KU Recreation Services associate director of program management, read about a fusion of drumming and dance in a fitness and wellness newsletter, she knew the program was something she wanted to bring to the University.
Pound, a cardio workout program incorporating simulated drumming and dancing, was originally started by Kirsten Potenza and Cristina Peerenboom. Starting in the spring of 2015, students will be able to participate in this new form of group exercise.
"I thought maybe that's something that's different, it's something fun," Urkoski said. "You have to move but it's not as in depth in terms of all the other types of group fitness classes we have."
While the online registration for the Pound certification training has already started, students can still register for the all-day training session that will take place Nov. 1. Once students are
"If you are in those classes, then you definitely are enhancing your practicality of information, so it makes you more marketable," Urkoski said. "I think just making connections and engaging with other students can be very beneficial to any profession."
Ukroski said getting a certification in this type of exercise can benefit students who may or may not study exercise science or community health and that teaching a group fitness class can improve leadership skills.

Services is anticipating having two to three Pound classes a week as part of the KU Fit program.
"It's a cardio jam session so you are always moving,but you are moving to the beat of the music and imitating like you are playing drum," said Anna Schwartz, KU Recreation Services coordinator of fitness and wellness.
Schwartz said the format of this exercise can bring in a more diverse audience. With the musical aspect of the workout, people who typically wouldn't enjoy exercise could also come and appreciate it.
Though Urkoski said the perception of group fitness tends to be more female-oriented, she is anticipating more male participation. She said adding some change to your workout, such as group fitness, can add fun and diversity into a daily, sometimes boring, routine.
"We want everybody to partake in and enjoy, plus it can diverse" she said.

Career Center starts 'Humans of KU'
DELANEY REYBURN
@DelanevRevburn
The University Career Center has started an Instagram account called "Humans of KU" with the intentions of showcasing students around campus with a focus on their passions, majors, future career ideas, internships and more. The account was started a month ago and has featured 18 students so far.
Katrina Zaremba, communications coordinator for the University Career Center, was approached with the idea for the account by the interns she worked with this past summer.
"The interns pitched the idea and just kind of ran with it which I love because here we really value student input," Zaremba said. "We know that if our students are passionate about it, most likely other students will be
too."
Humans of KU," features a variety of students around campus. According to Zaremba, each week, typically on Fridays, the interns will go out and stop students on campus asking them if they'd be interested in being featured on the account. They then snap their picture and ask them questions that showcase each student as an individual.
One of the University Career Center's interns, Josie Miller, a senior from Lenexa, said she and her peers hope to express the uniqueness of the students on campus.
She said approaching random students on campus can be intimidating, but has tried to get used to it in order to learn about their story.
"Lately instead of focusing on my fear, I focus intently on each student and the story that they're revealing to
me, which really helps with nerves and fosters a much deeper conversation," Miller said.
"In my opinion everyone is an iceberg, we all have stories that are beneath the surface that make us who we are," Miller said. "Digging beneath the surface with people helps me see that everyone has a story and gives me a sense of compassion for the students walking around me that I never had before."
Miller said the University Career Center is using social media to voice the incredible journeys that students have made so far, the current situations they are in and where they hope to find themselves in the future.
Megan Pyle, a senior from Overland Park, said she was approached one week ago to be featured on the account. She gave the interviewer for the account insight on her plans to major in Philosophy and also shared that she has a
"It's really student focused and we want to really showcase all of the cool things students are doing. We want the world to know about them," Zaremba said. "Also in a subtle way, the account promotes the Career Center's services at KU as well."
Miller said everyone has something to teach the world, and hopes that Humans of KU can be just one of the many ways students can do that.
Sometimes I forget that each student has their own stories, memories, goals and aspirations that make them who they are today." Miller said. "Humans of KU has really helped me to appreciate humanity and the uniqueness of each of our stories."

Her Campus KU brings StyleWatch to University
MARISSA KAUFMANN
@mariss193
Celebrity stylist and market editor for People StyleWatch, Joiee Thorpe, is hosting an event Tuesday called "Celebrity Stylist on Campus" at the Kansas Union to provide personal fashion consulting for KU students. People StyleWatch partnered with Her Campus KU to engage the University.
Thorpe is coming to help students by giving style advice for important events such as a job interview, a date or a night out. Thorpe will be stationed at the Union from noon to 6:00 p.m. for students to set up 10-minute personal appointments. People's StyleWatch will also be giving away prizes at the event such as a $1,000 shopping spree on ASOS, $100 to TRESemmé, a special gift bag and $250 to Sorel. Participants can enter by tweeting with a specific hashtag and a favorite style to win.
"Celebrity Stylist on Campus" provides a unique opportunity for students to develop different life skills that are not typically offered on campus. Thorpe said many campuses have seminars for business, corporate or nursing jobs. Thorpe is here to empower women and give advice about the fashion industry and how to get started for those who are interested in it.
"Fashion jobs are having this major breakthrough," Thorpe said.
She said she likes to talk to women about how she got started.
"This is what you need to do, you need to get internships, you need to meet people, you need to network," she said.
"Celebrity Stylist on Campus" will come to four universities: Boston University, Auburn, University of Miami and now KU. "We were looking for a school with diversity and a large population of fashionable women, and KU is a natural fit for us," said William Gasperoni, associate publisher of marketing at People StyleWatch.
"Our Her Campus partner's chapter is very strong on social media, and they are fully engaged in the campus, so it was an easy decision," Gasperoni said. "Not to mention, we have a few KU alum in our office who campaigned to get the brand to their alma mater."
"We want to inspire you to be confident and strong," she said. "We want to encourage you like cheerleaders. Not necessarily to do anything out of your comfort zone, but inspire you to take chances. Fashion is risky sometimes and it is fun."
People StyleWatch sets out to create brand awareness and inspire students to use fashion as a form of self-expression, Thorpe said.
Thorpe compares starting in the fashion world similar to the movie "The Devil Wears Prada." She said at first it was intimidating and she was unfamiliar with many brands. However, she worked hard by constantly working an internship during the day and a job at night. "Anything is possible, you just have to want it bad enough," Thorpe said.

Maroon 5 portrays woman as prey in 'Animals' music video
LYNDSEY HAVENS
@LyndseyAlana
INTERSCOPE RECORDS
The question of publicity vs. problematic often arises in the entertainment industry. There is, for lack of a better term, a blurred line between what constitutes as attention grabbing and what is appropriate, the latest example being the music video for Maroon 5's new hit song, "Animals." "Animals" is the second single off the band's fifth album, "V," released Sept. 2.
Later last month, on Sept. 29, the music video for the track was released, placing the song in a drastic and startling visual context. The video, which has now garnered well over 13 million views, has created frenzy among media. The Rape Abuse and Incest National Network (RAINN) deemed the video a "stalkers fantasy."
In the video, frontman Adam Levine portrays a butcher "preying on" or stalking his love interest, played by his real-life wife Beati Prinsloo. While the connection between the character of a butcher and the song's title "Animals" seems plausible, the disturbing disconnect occurs when viewers realize the animal being hunted is in fact
a woman.
As sexual assault remains a prominent and sensitive issue on our own campus, it's important to note that this issue pertains not only to students, not only on college campuses, but on a national level as well. Whether through Obama's "It's On Us" campaign or through a twisted music video from a poprock band, the matter is being widely discussed. When such a well-known band creates and delivers a piece of work relating to such a pertinent and serious matter, it's only natural that people are going
to not only pay attention,but they are going to react.
This past Saturday, Oct. 4, Maroon 5 was the musical guest on Saturday Night Live. The first of the two songs the group performed was, to little surprise, "Animals." The red leather jacket Levine wears while performing is the only on-stage resemblance to the gruesome video, in which a shirtless and tattooed Levine sways from a rack of carcasses and makes out with his wife as what appears to be blood pours over them.
When the song is taken out of context from the stalker
storyline of the video, listeners have little reason to take the literal meaning of preying on a human as serious. If we can take a stance on the issue of sexual assault on a local level, on our very own campus, then we should hold ourselves responsible for promoting our stance on a national level as well and to promote visually appealing rather than appalling content. As for Levine, the only thing he should be hunting down is better concepts for his music videos.

Robert Morris University bets video game scholarship can draw talent
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — As a teenager, holed up in his bedroom, illuminated by the glow of his laptop, Youngbin Chung became addicted to video games. Ten-hours-a-day addicted.
His grades tanked. His parents fretted.
A few years later, the 20-year-old from the San Francisco area leads a team of headset-wearing players into virtual battle in a darkened room at a small private university in Chicago. He's studying computer networking there on a nearly $15,000 a year athletic scholarship — for playing League of Legends, the video game that once jeopardized his high school diploma.
"I never thought in my life I'm going to get a scholarship playing a game," said Chung, one of 35 students attending Robert Morris University on the school's first-in-the-nation video game scholarship.
Once regarded as anti-social slackers or nerds in a basement, gamers have become megastars in what are now called esports. In professional leagues, they compete for millions of dollars in prizes and pull in six-figure incomes for vanquishing their enemies in what have become huge spectator events packing tens of thousands into sports stadiums around the world.
Games have evolved from the days of Pac-Man and Donkey Kong into something much more complex. They demand hyper mental acuity and involve multiple players communicating with each other in teams, plotting strategy, predicting opponents' moves and reacting in milliseconds.
Robert Morris, a not-for-profit university with about 3,000 students, believes those are not so different from the skills one uses on a football field or a basketball court and that spending money to recruit these students, too, will enrich campus life and add to its ranks of high-achieving graduates.
"I never thought in my life I'm going to get a scholarship playing a game."
YOUNGBIN CHUNG Scholaship recipient
Hundreds of other colleges and universities have esports clubs, but Robert Morris is the first to recognize it as a varsity sport under its athletic department. The scholarships, which cover up to half off tuition and half off room and board (worth a total of $19,000 in a typical three-quarter academic year) are for a single game, League of Legends, in which teams of five on five use keyboards and mouses to control mythical fighters battling it out in a science fiction-like setting.
"It's coming; it's coming big time," Associate Athletic Director Kurt Melcher said of the esports trend and what he's sure is its looming recognition by a bigger chunk of the collegiate sports world.
The first practices started last month in a $100,000 classroom outfitted with

an expansive video screen, computers and an array of eye-dazzling gaming paraphernalia.
The space is dimly lit and window blinds are drawn to keep glare off monitors. In the darkness, dozens of students wearing microphone headsets flit fingers and thumbs over the controls with blistering intensity and concentration. Death comes in a multitude of forms and is often sudden. Accordingly, the hum of game chatter is punctuated by the occasional whooping cry of victory or anguished sigh of defeat.
The Robert Morris Eagles will play teams in two leagues that include the likes of Harvard and MIT with hopes of making it to the League of Legends North American Collegiate Championship, where the members of the first-place team
take home $30,000 each in scholarships.
Melcher dreamed up the scholarship idea while searching online for the video games he used to play.
Some soccer players were bemused, but he said there was no real pushback from the university, which already has scholarships for everything from bowling to dressing as the mascot.
Some 27 million people play League of Legends each day, according to developer Riot Games Inc.
This year's professional championship is Oct. 19 in Seoul at the stadium South Korea built to host the 2002 soccer World Cup. The 45,000 seats are expected to sell out. The top team will take home $1 million.
The traditional sports world is still trying to figure out what to make of the phenomenon.

THE DAILY DEBATE
Who should be the starting quarterback for the rest of the season?
By Paige Stingley
@paigestingley
"MONTELL COZART"
The last thing this Jayhawk football team needs is another
team needs is another change. Charlie Weis is gone, Clint Bowen is now trying to find a balance between being defensive coordinator and head coach, and Kansas is desperately trying to turn around a football program that has struggled for years. To change quarterbacks mid-season would be a mistake.
Kansas has filtered through four quarterbacks in the past two and a half seasons. Every time the new quarterback is promised to be better than the last, and every time they fall short. But our quarterbacks aren't bad players. Most of them were highly ranked.
Maybe the problem is that quarterbacks don't stick around long enough to connect with the team.
Take a look at the top teams in the country and their quarterbacks. No. 1 ranked Florida State has Heisman winner Jameis Winston, who's in his second season with the Seminoles. No. 2 Auburn has senior Nick Marshall, who's been the starting quarterback for two years. No. 3 Mississippi State has been with their quarterback, Dak Prescott, for three seasons. All
Sophomore Montell Cozart is a young quarterback who has shown little consistency this season, but it is too early to bench him and name Michael Cummings the starter. Weis named Cozart the starter last spring instead of waiting until fall training camp for a reason. The more reps Cozart gets, the more comfortable he'll be come game time.
of these teams have one thing in common — consistency. And that's exactly what the Jayhawks need right now.
Playing Cozart over Cummings isn't going to hurt the Jayhawks this season, but it may help them in future seasons. Cozart still has two years of eligibility after this year, giving him plenty of time to gain consistency and become a dominant leader. Cummings only has one season left, meaning the Jayhawks will once again be looking for a new quarterback soon. Keeping Cozart as the starter for
the next two seasons also gives the Jayhawks a chance to develop another quarterback, who will follow in his steps when he graduates. Statistically,
Cozart and Cummings are arguably on the same skill level, but Cozart has put up slightly higher numbers than Cummings so far this season. Cozart has completed 62 of 125 passes for a completion rate of 49.6 percent. Cummings has completed 9 of 19, or 47.4 percent, of his passes. Cozart averages 5.54 yards per pass; Cummings averages 3.74. Cummings has a passer rating of 78.8; Cozart. 98.2.
Cozart seems the obvious choice by all standards. Though he has yet to show the level of play the Jayhawks are looking for, he has the stats to beat Cummings and give the Jayhawks some consistency in at least one area of their program. Cozart a growing quarterback who will be a dominant leader in the next couple of seasons.

"MICHAEL CUMMINGS"
It's obvious to the football fan base that sophomore quarterback Montell Cozart has underperformed this season. I haven't heard one person talk about Cozart in a positive way this season, therefore interim coach
After another loss in Big 12 conference play, Kansas football needs to make some immediate changes. That first change should be at quarterback, at least for right now.
- Clint Bowen should name redshirt junior quarterback Michael Cummings as the starter this week against Oklahoma State.
Kansas has nothing to lose with this decision. Cummings has experience
Cummings has been successful coming off the bench. In 2012, he came in against Oklahoma State and led two fourth quarter drives. He set season-high records in completions with 10 and yards with 111. In 2013, he was underutilized for the likes of Cozart. As we have seen both this seasons and last, Cozart has not been the answer the Jayhawks are looking for.
as a starter. As a redshirt freshman, he started eight of nine Big 12 games and has good numbers against the conference's defenses. He completed 43 of 94 passes with 456 yards and three touchdowns. He also rushed for 123 yards and added another touchdown.
This year alone, Cozart is underperforming. He has thrown seven interceptions and has been sacked 11 times, which is way too
it is a bubble screen, and the majority of the time the play goes nowhere.
Kansas has great receivers with Tony Pierson, Nick Harwell and Justin McCay, but they're ineffective if the ball is not accurately thrown to them.
Don't get me wrong, Cozart is a great athlete and can do great things someday, but he needs a coach who specializes in his game. Weis wasn't that kind of coach, and Cozart struggled because of it. Whoever Kansas finds to be its next coach, whether it's Bowen or someone else, the priority should be to get a coach to tailor to his run-pass combination. But for now, why not give Cummings a chance?
many to have this early into the season. I expected him to change after the Central Michigan game, but have yet to see any improvement. Cozart continues to favor running over passing. When he does pass,
Against Oklahoma State this Saturday, there should be no question but to start Cummings at quarterback. He might be the answer to get those conference wins that Kansas and the fans eagerly await. For Cozart, he can sit, learn and gain more experience. He can put in more work at practice, and in future years, Cozart could be the quarterback Kansas expects him to be.

Royals beat Angels 8-3 to finish off ALDS sweep
They had waited 29 years to soak in moments like these.
KANSAS CITY, Mo.  — Almost an hour had passed, and the postgame party had moved from the field to the Kansas City clubhouse, where victory champagne was once again flowing. Yet as sheets of rain fell at Kauffman Stadium, thousands of celebrating Royals fans refused to leave.
"This is a special time in the city right now and they're enjoying this as much as we are," winning pitcher James Shields said. "This is the best atmosphere I've ever been a part of."
Alex Gordon hit a bases-clearing double in the first inning, Eric Hosmer and Mike Moustakas each homered and the wild-card Royals finished off a three-game sweep of
the mighty Los Angeles Angels with an emphatic 8-3 victory Sunday night in the AL Division Series.
The scrappy team with the unorthodox manager, popgun offense, dynamic defense and lights-out bullpen will open the AL Championship Series against the Orioles beginning Friday night in Baltimore. Kansas City went 4-3 against the O's this year.
"I've never seen this group of kids so confident on the big stage." Royals manager Ned Yost said. "It's really fun to see their development and watch them come into the postseason and just really take their game to the next level."
The power-hitting Angels, 98-64 in the regular season, became the second team in the divisional era that began in 1969 to have the best record in the majors and get swept out of the playoffs, STATS said. In no small coincidence, the Royals dealt the same humiliating
fate to the New York Yankees in the 1980 ALCS.
Stalking around the mound amid an electric atmosphere, Shields lived up to his "Big Game James" billing. The Royals' ace gave up homers to Mike Trout and Albert Pujols, but otherwise held in check a suddenly punchless Los Angeles lineup
Shields was helped, too, by diving grabs by center fielder Lorenzo Cain on back-to-back plays. All told, the highest-scoring team in baseball managed six runs in the entire series.
"Anything happens in the playoffs," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "You don't go in with any badge saying you won the most games, and you're certainly not going to get any points for that going into the playoffs."

Bowen: Quarterback position not set in stone
KU
ASSOCIATED PRESS

@jacksonshane3
Kansas interim coach Clint Bowen looks on during the second quarter of the game against West Virginia in Morgantown, W.Va., Saturday. West Virginia won 33-14.
In his first week in his new role with Kansas football, interim coach Clint Bowen said he was going to give everyone a shot to earn playing time in the remainder of the 2014 season.
"There are going to be guys who get some chance to get some playing time, if they earn it," Bowen said.
At the time, the comments from his weekly presser were about players getting their fair shot at some time in special teams.
But little did Bowen know that a week later he would be making the same statements in his weekly Big 12 teleconference — this time regarding the most important position on the field, the quarterback.
"I told our guys on the team, that every position, you're going to earn the right to play." Bowen said. "If the guy behind you earns it more, then that guy is going to play."
In Bowen's debut, Kansas fell to West Virginia 33-14 on the road. Last season the Jayhawks defeated the Mountaineers in their lone conference victory.
This year,shouldering much of the blame for the loss, is sophomore quarterback Montell Cozart. Cozart received his first collegiate win against the Mountaineers as a freshman.
In Saturday's loss, Cozart was 4-for-10 with 42 yards. The week prior Cozart threw a career-high four interceptions against Texas that pushed former coach Charlie Weis out the door.
Under Bowen, Cozart appeared to have a rather short leash. Bowen pulled Cozart after the first half, putting in redshirt junior Michael Cummings. Cummings didn't fair much better as he was 8-for-17 with 65 vards.
Even third-string quarterback sophomore transfer T.J. Millweard saw some action. He completed his only pass for four yards but spent a majority of the time handing the ball off.
Now the question remains: Who will be under center for
the Jayhawks in Bowen's home debut against the Cowboys of Oklahoma State?
"There are certain things that you control as the quarterback and whichever guy is going to control those better is going to play," Bowen said.
"If the guy behind you earns it more, then that guy is going to play."
CLINT BOWEN Interim coach
Weis announced Cozart was the starter after an impressive spring. Cozart seemed like the perfect fit for this new spread offense designed by first-year
Cozart has rushed for an average of just 11 yards per game thus far. He has completed less than half his pass attempts and has thrown seven interceptions.
offensive coordinator John Reagan.
If Bowen decides to go in a different direction this week, it will be the third consecutive year Kansas will have had a different quarterback start a game who didn't start the season opener.
Regardless of which of the three quarterbacks start, the position will be closely observed for the remainder of the year. If Kansas can't find the answer at the most important position on the field, it could very likely finish last in the Big 12, once again.

For the first time all season, Baylor scored less than 45 points. Quarterback Bryce Petty struggled in the passing game, not throwing his first touchdown pass until halfway through the third quarter. None of this hindered Baylor. The Bears showed off other facets of their game, including a touchdown from a blocked field goal in the first quarter.

TCU made a statement Saturday. In their third season in the conference, the Horned Frogs are showing they belong at the top. TCU and Oklahoma had nearly the same number of total yards (469 to 461), passing yards (318 to 309) and rushing yards (151 to 152), but TCU kept coming up with timely plays, including a pick-six off Oklahoma quarterback Trevor Knight in the fourth quarter.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"We think as the industry matures and people understand the options there's a long runway for people to move. Once you get a taste of instant results, cash in your bank account before you go to bed, they like it."
Thomas Dwyer, co-founder of the daily fantasy sports website Balir,
via the Daily Herald.
THE MORNING BREW
FACT OF THE DAY
FanDuel, the daily fantasy industry's largest site, is on track to payout $400 million in 2014. The company, which launched in 2009, is worth $4 billion, according to projections run by the website. FanDuel

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Business Insider
Daily fantasy sports beginning to take ground in fantasy industry
When lawmakers made an exemption for fantasy sports in a 2006 law that
targeted online poker, no one expected a new industry which would rival the millions laid on Las Vegas sports books to emerge.
Daily fantasy sports (DFS), an industry that started in 2009 and took real footing in the fantasy sports field after the 2011 NFL lockout, is booming. The top site in the industry, FanDuel, is projected to pay out over $400 million to its users in 2014. It is set to pull $40 million in revenue, according to projections done by the site itself, and is one of dozens of the young, bustling DFS communities.
The relatively new daily fantasy industry is booming for one reason: instant gratification. The industry is based on games where new lineups are submitted daily (or — for NFL, golf and soccer — weekly).
By Christian Hardy
@HardyNFL
Like yearly fantasy sports you might play on ESPN, Yahoo! or CBS, DFS players draft a team of athletes who score fantasy points according to point totals based on their on-field performance. The user must fill their lineup and remain under a set salary cap while trying to score the most points. Instead of having one devastating injury crush your season, such as Jamaal Charles in 2011 or Tom Brady in 2008, you can create a new team every day, and minimize risk due to injuries.
Entry fees, otherwise known as a "bet" in Vegas terms, range from $0.25 games on DraftKings, the industry's second-largest site, to $5,200 games for the industry's high rollers. Some competitions pay 50 percent of competitors, otherwise known as double-ups in the industry. Others are massive tournaments with thousands of competitors looking for a share of the payout, triple ups, guaranteed prize pool games and many, many more creative formats.
On an average day at FanDuel, there are 12,000 competitions to choose from. Once the competitions are complete, usually within 24 hours of lineups locking, winnings are immediately allocated to those who have won a payout.
Various sites have hosted parties at the Playboy mansion, Las Vegas and many other locations, for those who win particular tournaments. This
season's FanDuel Fantasy Football Championship will host 100 finalists, one of which will take home $2 million of the $7 million total prize pool after a three-day trip to Las Vegas.
Big media names such as Sports Illustrated and USA Today are getting in on the action as well, as both have started pay-to-play sites. FanNation, started by SI, focuses on Major League Baseball, while USA Today's Fantasy-Score launched in August and focuses on the NFL. NBC Sports is part of the total $86.2 million that has been invested in FanDuel.
With names like those already in the game, it's no longer a question of if major yearly fantasy sites such ESPN, Yahoo! and CBS will join the industry. It's now time to wonder when they will start competing for a share of the ever-growing pie that is daily fantasy sports.

"Since he's been here, he's already beat Grand Theft Auto," Manning said. "[Svi]'s pretty good at video games."
BONDING OVER BASKETBALL
He enjoys another form of popular American entertainment, as well. Svi said he likes old-school rappers like Tupac and Notorious B.I.G., but he likes the current rap stars, as well.
"I like Kendrick Lamar, Drake and The Game," Svi said.
"We go at it every day in pick-up and practice, and I can tell he's a young guy, but I can definitely tell we're going to gel as teammates and brothers," Oubre said.
Freshman Kelly Oubre said Svi and him connected instantly because they are both dedicated and love basketball.
Oubre and Svi are known as the two best shooters on the team. Every day in practice, Oubre and Svi compete against each other in shooting drills to see who's the better shooter.
"We aren't tied," Oubre said. "I think I'm up one. So I'm going to give myself the benefit of the doubt of course."
WELCOME TO BOOT CAMP
Oubre said Svi is a very talented shooter, and will be a major part of this Kansas team. Svi says his best skill is his shooting.
Svi didn't know anything about Lawrence other than basketball, and that's why he showed up without pants, but Selden said Svi has adjusted well to the Kansas basketball
lifestyle. The first task Svi had to overcome was boot camp.
"Walking straight into boot camp had to be tough for him, but he's adjusted perfectly," Selden said.
This season's men's basketball boot camp was two weeks long and included a Marine officer, who put the team through military drills to whip them into shape.

"He doesn't have to speak the best English because his game speaks for itself."
KELLY OUBRE Freshman guard
Svi said he's never been through anything like boot camp before, and it was really hard.
The team said certain adjustments came easily for Svi because of his maturity. At the age of 17, Svi becomes the youngest player to ever play in the Big 12 conference. Despite still being a teenager, Manning said Svi is really mature.
"If I were to meet him and not know anything about him, I would think he's a lot older than he is," Manning said. "Physically, he's a pretty strong dude, but the way he acts around people, he's a really classy guy."
TRANSLATING HIS GAME
Svi has to adjust to the American style of basketball, he said.
I has to adjust to the American style of basketball, he said. "For me it's like the first days are very hard because [his teammates] are more physical than me and stronger than me, but I keep working hard, and I think we are a good team and we will be good," Svi said.
The difference between the European and American style
of basketball could benefit Svi. Manning said Svi's ability to play in the 2014 FIBA World Cup for the Ukrainian national team gives Svi a leg up because he played against grown men including the U.S. men's national team. Svi scored three points in 11 minutes against the U.S.
"Over here, you don't see many guys with his height and that young don't have that great of ball handling," Manning said. "He can handle the ball really well and has great passing ability."
Self said Svi will be a big part of this Kansas team no matter how well he can communicate, and Oubre said Svi's English won't matter come game time.
"He doesn't have to speak the best English because his game speaks for itself," Oubre said.

COMMENTARY Kansas football can learn from Snyder, K-State
It wasn't always smooth sailing for Kansas State football before current
football before current coach 74-year-old Bill Snyder took over and elevated the program to national status over his 21 seasons with the program. Kansas State, before Snyder took the reigns, was at the bottom of the barrel. In the four years prior to his hiring, the Wildcats limped to a 3-40-1 record, and showed about as much life as the current Kansas football team.
By Dan Harmsen
@udk dan
"I was just amazed to hear young guys talk about never wearing their letter jackets because they were too embarrassed," Snyder said in a SBNation.com article, when reflecting on the program he inherited.
The first year of the Snyer-rebuild wasn't pretty. Kansas State finished 1-10 and lost all seven of its conference games. But as the years wore on, and Snyder instilled intrinsic values of family, hard work and integrity, the program saw incremental improvement.
"They treat the no-chance walk-ons with the utmost respect," former KSU quarterback Stan Weber said, in a CBSSports.com article. Weber's son, Stanton, saw special teams time for the 2014 Wildcats after being told "no" by many other coaches. Bill Snyder, however, said yes.
Stanton Weber's story is not unique. Defensive end Ryan Mueller from St. Thomas Aquinas in Overland Park was named to the preseason all Big 12 team this summer after several years of hard work under Snyder. Kansas didn't even offer him a scholarship.
"As a player on this team you have a responsibility to do everything in your power to help, and that's every single one of us, and you will see first-line guys on (special teams)." Bowen said.
By 1992, the "Kansas State way" was paying off and by 1993, KSU capped off a 9-2-1 historic season with a 52-17 defeat of Wyoming in the Copper Bowl.
Nobody is above the team. Each player is a part of the family. Stars, second-string, walk-ons. Snyder's reign will come to a close one day, but there is so much to be learned from his work. Bowen's narrative at Kansas, though, is just beginning:
With an enrollment and an athletic department about the size of Kansas, and the same home state from which to recruit from, K-State and Bill Snyder are a model of success for Kansas football. Interim Kansas coach Clint Bowen has made comments that give hope that there might be a little Snyder in him.
After a solid foundation was laid, cemented by persistence, patience and tireless, old-fashioned grit, the K-State football program, once the butt of many jokes, was off and running like a fine-tuned machine.

@realblairsheady
junior Perry Ellis said Svi injured his leg on his recruiting trip May 16, but still went to the gym every day to shoot around.
Ukrainian 17-year-old Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk was so excited to play basketball at Kansas that he forgot to pack a basic necessity: pants.
Svi said he showed up in Lawrence with only athletic gear to play basketball because that's all he cares about. Everyone on the team said Svi is really dedicated to playing basketball, and a lot them have funny stories of his love for the sport. For instance,
Over the course of two years, the KU men's basketball team has recruited international athletes such as Andrew Wiggins and Joel Embiid, but both Wiggins and Embiid played high school basketball in the United States. This season, coach Bill Self recruited Svi, who hadn't been to the United States before his recruiting visits in May.
When the 6-foot-8 guard, who likes to be called Svi, arrived in Lawrence, he needed to go shopping. Svi's roommate, junior Evan Manning, said he and sophomore Wayne Selden took Svi shopping at Urban Outfitters.
"We had to get him some
pants," Manning said. "He didn't have many dress clothes or anything like that. So he had to get all hooked up with that. He doesn't have much clothes to go out and eat with or hang out in at night, so we had to get him caught up."
Manning has helped Svi acclimate to his new lifestyle as any good roommate would. Besides helping Svi get a new wardrobe, Manning said Svi asks a lot of questions about living in Lawrence and speaking the English language. Svi knows Ukrainian, Russian and French, as well, but he said French was the hardest language to learn.
GRASPING THE LANGUAGE
"For me it was French because for me it's more hard," Svi said. "English was also hard, but I'm studying it for
11 years."
Even though Svi studied English for the over a decade in Ukraine, he said he needs to improve by taking three basic English classes at the University this semester. Manning tries to help him with his English homework, and Svi tries to teach him Russian.
"He came up to me with some homework, and it's actually really tough for me as a person that speaks English,"

A to Z: What you've missed in fall sports
BRIAN HILLIX
@DoubleHillix
Ainise Havili - The freshman setter has adjusted to the college game quickly, ranking third in the conference with 11 assists per set.
Bye bye, Charlie - Athletic director Sheahon Zenger fired football coach Charlie Weis the morning after a shutout loss to Texas on Sept. 27. Weis went 6-22 while at Kansas.
Defensive coordinator Clint Bowen -The Lawrence native was named the interim head coach of the football team for the rest of the season after Weis was relieved of his duties. He has spent 16 years on the coaching staff and an additional three as a player.
Connor Peck - A junior golfer from Ankeny, Iowa, Peck has led the men's golf team to two top-three finishes and has been among Kansas' top-two finishers in each of the team's three tournaments.
Ed Warinner - Tabbed by many as a potential down-the-road candidate to become the next football coach at Kansas, Warinner was the offensive coordinator for three years under coach Mark Mangino, including during the 2007-08 Orange Bowl season.
First-place in the Big 12 - With a 13-1 record (3-0 in conference), the No. 16 Kansas women's soccer team stands at first in the conference. Oklahoma is the only
Kaitlyn Stroud - The Kansas soccer team hasn't allowed more than one goal in a game this season, and senior goalkeeper Kaitlyn Stroud is a big reason why. She ranks first in the Big 12, allowing less than half a goal per game (.46).
Liana Salazar - The junior midfielder is tied for the Big 12 lead with nine goals this season and ranks first in points, a statistic that combines points and assists.
other Big 12 team without a loss or a tie in conference play.
Grass issues - The soccer field at the team's new abode, Rock Chalk Park, experienced some growing pains. After the season opener did damage to the grass at Rock Chalk Park, the next six home games were played at the team's old field.
Montell Cozart - Praised during fall camp, sophomore quarterback Montell Cozart hasn't lived up to expectations. He ranks last in the Big
Heeney - Senior linebacker Ben Heeney, named to the preseason All-Big 12 team, is living up to the billing. He ranks fourth in the conference in tackles and is tied for fifth in tackles for a loss among all positions.
Invitational titles - The volleyball team had another strong nonconference season, winning three of its four invitations.
Nick Harwell - The senior wide receiver transfer from Miami (Ohio) hasn't scored a receiving touchdown since he recorded two in the first quarter of the season opener against Southeast Missouri State.
Outside hitter position - The deepest position on the volleyball team, it is a big reason Kansas ranks third in the conference in kills. Senior outside hitter Chelsea Albers leads the way as she ranks sixth in the conference in the category.
Pornvipa Sakdee - A sophomore from Thailand, Sakdee won the Marilyn Smith Sunflower Invitational women's golf tournament in Lawrence, propelling the Jayhawks to a second-place finish.
Jake Love - The junior linebacker is tied for 13th in the Big 12 in tackles for a loss among all positions.
Quick starts - Kansas soccer has outscored its opponents
13-2 in the first period this season.
Running backs - Junior transfer De'Andre Mann and freshman Corey Avery have led an attack that has combined for a respectable 167.8 rushing yards per game.
Streak continues - Kansas football has lost 29 straight road games, dating back to 2009.
12, averaging 91 passing yards per game.
Trevor Pardula - A steady presence for the special teams unit, senior punter Pardula leads the Big 12 with a 45-yard average per punt. He leads the league with seven touchbacks.
Undefeated start - The Kansas soccer started the season 8-0, the team's best start in program history.
Volleyball in a slump - After a 12-2 start to the season, the Jayhawks have lost their first three conference matches.
World Series bound? - Not Kansas Athletics related, but still worth mentioning. For the first time since 1985, the Kansas City Royals have advanced to the American League Championship Series, one round away from the World Series.
X-factor - Kansas football cornerbacks JaCorey Shepherd and Dexter McDonald have quietly had a nice season. They are tied for sixth in the Big 12 in passes defended.
Yupaporn Kawinpakorn - A junior golfer from Thailand leads the women's golf team with a +7 average vs. par this season in the layhwaks' three tournaments.
Zenger - After firing Weis, the success of his next coaching hire will likely determine his future as the athletic director.

In 2013, the University's Public Safety Office reported 107 drug and narcotics offenses on the University Campus. This figure is more than triple the number of offenses reported in 2008.

@daltonkingnews
Captain James Anguiano of the Public Safety Office attributed the spike in offenses to increased training of campus law enforcement officers. Student Housing employees and changes to police procedure, rather than an increase in drug usage on campus.
"Some of the specifics that we're doing now, we're able to work with our District Attorney's office and get more search warrants when we're not allowed entry into the rooms," Anguiano said. "That makes it a little bit easier for us to enforce the laws."
Additionally, more residence hall patrols and on-campus video monitoring have enabled campus police to catch offenders who are not using drugs in buildings, but in their cars and residence hall parking lots.

"We have the isolation rooms and we have the supplies," said Dr. Douglas Dechairo, director of Watkins Student Health Center. "The only thing we can't do here is process the blood."
The recent outbreak of Ebola has received the attention of people all around the world. The epidemic, which started in West Africa, has now made its first appearance in both the United States and Spain. The U.S. is currently treating two patients in Dallas and Nebraska. Spain confirmed reports on Monday that a Spanish health worker became the first Ebola patient to contract the virus outside of Africa, according to CNN.
According to the World Health Organization, Ebola is an RNA virus that mainly infects wild animals such as fruit bats, monkeys and gorillas, but can also be transmitted to humans. The first human outbreak of Ebola was in 1976 near the Ebola River in which is present day South Sudan.
Dechairo said the biggest misconception that worries people is how Ebola is transmitted. He said since the virus is a bloodborne pathogen, it can only be transmitted through direct contact of bodily fluids. It is

COMMENTARY Kansas football can learn from Snyder, K-State
By Dan Harmsen
@udk dan
It wasn't always smooth sailing for Kansas State football before current coach 74-year-old Bill Snyder took over and elevated the program to national status over his 21 seasons with the program. Kansas State, before Snyder took the reigns, was at the bottom of the barrel. In the four years prior to his hiring, the Wildcats limped to a 3-40-1 record, and showed about as much life as the current Kansas football team.
"I was just amazed to hear young guys talk about never wearing their letter jackets because they were too embarrassed," Snyder said in a SBNation.com article, when reflecting on the program he inherited.
The first year of the Snyder-rebuild wasn't pretty. Kansas State finished 1-10 and lost all seven of its conference games. But as the years wore on, and Snyder instilled intrinsic values of family, hard work and integrity, the program saw incremental improvement.
"They treat the no-chance walk-ons with the utmost respect," former KSU quarterback Stan Weber said, in a CBSSports.com article. Weber's son, Stanton, saw special teams time for the 2014 Wildcats after being told "no" by many other coaches. Bill Snyder, however, said yes.
Stanton Weber's story is not unique. Defensive end Ryan Mueller from St. Thomas Aquinas in Overland Park was named to the preseason all Big 12 team this summer after several years of hard work under Snyder. Kansas didn't even offer him a scholarship.
By 1992, the "Kansas State way" was paying off and by 1993, KSU capped off a 9-2-1 historic season with a 52-17 defeat of Wyoming in the Copper Bowl.
After a solid foundation was laid, cemented by persistence, patience and tireless, old-fashioned grit, the K-State football program, once the butt of many jokes, was off and running like a fine-tuned machine.
With an enrollment and an athletic department about the size of Kansas, and the same home state from which to recruit from, K-State and Bill Snyder are a model of success for Kansas football. Interim Kansas coach Clint Bowen has made comments that give hope that there might be a little Snyder in him.
"As a player on this team you have a responsibility to do everything in your power to help, and that's every single one of us, and you will see first-line guys on (special teams).' Bowen said.
Nobody is above the team. Each player is a part of the family. Stars, second-string, walk-ons. Snyder's reign will come to a close one day, but there is so much to be learned from his work. Bowen's narrative at Kansas, though, is just beginning:

Campus law enforcement is attributing the uptick in on-campus drug offenses to better and increased training of its officers and Student Housing employees. They don't suspect an increase in drug usage.
KENNEDY BURGESS/KANSAN
In 2013, the University's Public Safety Office reported 107 drug and narcotics offenses on the University Campus. This figure is more than triple the number of offences reported in 2008.
Captain James Anguiano of the Public Safety Office attributed the spike in offenses to increased training of campus law enforcement officers, Student Housing employees and changes to police procedure, rather than an increase in drug usage on campus.
"Some of the specifics that we're doing now, we're able to work with our District Attorney's office and get more search warrants when we're not allowed entry into the rooms," Anguiano said. "That makes it a little bit easier for us to enforce the laws."
Additionally, more residence hall patrols and on-campus video monitoring have enabled campus police to catch offenders who are not using drugs in buildings, but in their cars and residence hall parking lots.

"Every year, when they hire new housing staff, we go over how they can stay safe, when to call the police, and we do a drug recognition piece," Anguiano said.

to financially support his or her drug habit, suggesting that better drug policy enforcement could make a situation like that less likely.
"We always look for different methods to use to help combat all kinds of different crimes," Anguiano said. "Once we were able to look at this more, with the help of housing, getting their employees trained, that helped out."
"We see increases when law enforcement decides to crack down on a specific type of crime or they have been through enhanced training," said Hardesty, who added that although her office has not noticed an increase in the number of students seeking legal help for on-campus drug-related offenses, not all students come to LSS for help.
Chad Brown, a sophomore from Andover, said he thinks the campus police and student housing employees are just doing their jobs.
Anguiano said he thinks the increase in reported offenses is good for students living on campus in the sense that it discourages illegal activity in on-campus housing. As an example, he mentioned a scenario in which a student who is using drugs may start stealing from roommates
"I don't think people would take housing as seriously if they didn't work with the police," said Brown, who knows students that have been visited by the police in their dorms for suspected marijuana usage.
Anguiano said many people think smoking pot is harmless but don't think about the company they keep.
When you buy marijuana from people, you know they are already involved in illegal activities, and it's hard to know what other illegal activities could be happening.
"If you get caught up with somebody that lets you slide this week to buy a little bit of pot, and you don't have that money next week, you don't know what could happen to you, because obviously they need to make their money," Anguiano said.

Senate explores mental health funding
MIRANDA DAVIS
@MirandaDavisUDK
Student Senate is in the early stages of planning and executing its mental health platform. Right now Senate is exploring funding options to help Counseling and Psychological Services hire a new psychologist to meet more students' needs.
After meeting with Michael Maestas, the director of CAPS, the senators working on the mental health platform decided to readjust and work on providing another psychologist for the center because of the expressed need for extra personnel. CAPS is currently unable to book appointments for all students who request them. The current platform began as an initiative during the
"The whole discussion on mental health is something that I think, was really one of the first things that resonated with me, back before I even thought about running for V.P., when I just knew I wanted to stay involved in Senate, and I knew that Morgan [Said] had some ideas, and this is one of the first key conversations I tuned into," Wagner said.
election season with a focus on the current $15 student fee per counseling session but the biggest need, an additional psychologist became apparent as conversations went on.
The platform was something student body Vice President Miranda Wagner knew she wanted to work on before she even thought about running in last year's race.
"The whole discussion on mental health is something that I think, was really one of the first things that resonated with me, back before I even thought about running for V.P. ..."
Wagner and other senators have researched other Big 12 University health centers and if students at those schools have to pay additional fees like students at the University do.

StudyRoom lets students form online study groups

@AllisonCristUDK
Students have discovered a new service that not only allows them to interact with their peers, but possibly raise their GPA at the same time.
StudyRoom attempts to socialize tutoring and study groups by letting students make posts and send messages to those registered with the University, even though the program is not officially partnered with KU
However, users can still choose between posting on a main page to all registered KU students, or with their specific classmates in groups that are split up based on the courses offered here.
Emerson Malca and Pindi Albert are the co-founders of StudyRoom. Malca is the chief executive officer and Albert is the chief technology officer. The thought process behind launching this program came while they were helping a friend study for physics. The two found the physics student only had two students' phone numbers out of a huge class.

"It was very clear we needed to build StudyRoom to connect students with their classmates and leverage social learning to allow every college student with the help they need right when they need it," Malca said.
Since the official launch at the beginning of this semester, StudyRoom has reached more than 100 universities across the country, he said. More than 1,500 KU students visit the website weekly, Malca said.
"Students most likely saw promotions for StudyRoom on social media and after trying out the program themselves, they referred their friends," Day said.
Since the University did not do anything to promote StudyRoom, the program took off due to the efforts of students, said David Day, director of IT External Affairs at KU.
a lot of people were caught off guard when they received an email about the website.
While she also knows a lot of people who have ignored the program entirely, Hannon checks the website at least once a day. Additionally, she's been in a few study groups that were organized via StudyRoom.
"I think it's a great program. It'll improve when more people realize its existence. With more people online, it will provide more documents and be similar to Koofers and StudyBlue," Hannon said.
Ashley Gray, a sophomore from Erie, is another student who visits StudyRoom daily. After being invited by a friend at the beginning of the year, she began posting her own notes after every biology class.
"I didn't think people used it until I began posting my notes online and people started thanking me for them," Gray said.
As she continued doing this, Gray found that her friends started asking what program she was using, which led to them registering.
Although Hannon and Gray have both connected with a multitude of students like themselves, there are many non-traditional students that utilize StudyRoom as well.
"I am a wife and a mom, and I work part-time. My schedule doesn't really allow me to plan study groups. This website allows me to still share notes and ask questions with fellow classmates as I would in a physical study group;" Hight said.
Char Hight, from Atlanta, Ga., is one of these nontraditional students.
Daniel Whedon is also a non-traditional student from Winchester who also recently started using StudyRoom.
Hight said she feels the website prevents any awkwardness in asking for help that might occur in person.
new to it but I attempt to use it as a resource for help to understand topics when the materials provided are not enough," Whedon said.
Whedon said he thinks the website could be especially useful when discussing classes in general, as professors are hard to reach sometimes.
If classmates are unable to answer questions, some students might be seeking something that goes a step further than StudyRoom by incorporating professors.
Blackboard Collaborate, a program that is directly affiliated with KU, launched around the same time as StudyRoom.
"Blackboard Collaborate is very similar to the functionality of StudyRoom." Day said. "Although, with this, an instructor for a course can set up group study rooms, or there can be exchanges between students all within the already existing Blackboard."
As far as how I utilize StudyRoom, I am rather
Like Day said, Blackboard Collaborate is comparable to StudyRoom because of the collaboration between students for particular courses and the sharing of documents.

Camp offers rewarding summer work
DEREK SKILLETT
@DerekSkillett
Students at the University looking for a summer job can apply to work at Kanakuk Kamps and Kids Across America. These camps, based in Branson, Mo., pair children and youths from all across America with college students in an attempt to teach children about God and Jesus.
At an introductory meeting Monday night, representatives from Kanakuk and Kids Across America explained the ultimate purpose of the summer camps.
Collin Sparks, a director of one of the Kanakuk Kamps, said the camps are committed to helping kids learn about the teachings of Jesus, as well as creating fun experiences and changing lives.
The camps hire 2,000 college students to work in 13 camps
over the summer with 16,000 children and youths. At the camps, students have the opportunity to participate in athletic events with the kids and teach them about the Gospel. The hope is deep friendships will begin to build between the college students and the children.
"We have kids from all 50 states. They get to come from all different backgrounds. In Kids Across America, kids come from urban areas. The Kanakuk kids come from all over the place." Sparks said.
Sparks said he wants students to be an example for the kids.
"We get to show the kids the Gospel through the way we live our lives, the way we serve them. Any time you spend time together, you develop a friendship with the kids," Sparks said.
Travis Finley, who has
been a Kids Across America counselor for the past six years,spoke with the group on Monday about his experience. Finley said the relationships he's built with the children who attend the camp are one of the primary reasons why he keeps coming back.
"After my third year, the Kamp experience was normal," Finley said. "I knew what to expect. I knew it was going to be fun and hype, but I didn't know what kind of kids to expect. I didn't know where they were coming from. So when they would come, it would excite me, because now it's something fresh and new every week."
Finley also said his experiences at Kids Across America have influenced his personal life.
"If I didn't go through these obstacles, I wouldn't be prepared for it," Finley
"I keep coming back because we've changed the lives of kids. We get to do 24/7 of life with 7- to 18-year-olds and get to tell them about the Gospel and Jesus and encourage them in their lives," Johnson said. "The relationships I've made with other counselors have been incredible. I've probably made some of my best friends in my life from camp. It's a place where everyone has the

same goal."
Jillian Johnson, a fifth-year senior from Wichita, has been a counselor at Kanakuk for the past three summers. Before becoming a staff member, Johnson was a camper for two years.
Johnson said the camp has impacted her life in that she has a passion to know people. She also said she understands the necessity of knowing the Gospel. Johnson encourages students who love Jesus, people and sports to spend a summer working for Kanakuk and Kids Across America.
The camps run from June 1 to Aug.9. Sparks said students who want to work in the camps should apply as soon as possible by going to apply.kanakuk.com. Sparks said representatives from Kanakuk and Kids Across America will also be coming back through Lawrence in January to interview more applicants.

Laundry costing students a load
ALICIA GARZA
@AliciaoftheUDK
In the 2013-2014 school year, KU Student Housing made $176,835.59 from students' laundry usage. During this time, students did approximately 90,685 loads of laundry. McCollum, Ellsworth and Oliver had the highest amount of laundry usage, said Jennifer Wamelink, associate director of Resident Life.
The University charges $1.50 to wash and $1.50 to dry. In an average week on campus, students will do three to four loads of laundry. Wamelink estimates, so students spend at least $9 to $12 on laundry a week. With 32 weeks in a regular school year, not including finals weeks, a student can spend between $288 and $384 a year on laundry.
A few students think the price per load of laundry is expensive.
"I do about four loads of laundry a week, and [the price is] not reasonable at all. They understand that we're college students, so to pay $3 to get one load done is unnecessary to me, honestly," said Zhana
While $3 does seem high for a college student to pay per load of laundry, Wamelink said the students see an investment back into the facilities.
Brown, a freshman from Aurora, Colo.
"We earn a commission on the collections of what the students pay for the laundry service. The University gets 65 percent of those collections. That money is then used for the staffing to keep the laundry rooms clean and for keeping the laundry rooms in good repair," Wamelink said. "It all comes back to Student Housing and the students living within."
The campus laundry provider, ASI Campus Laundry Solutions, and the University have been working together for two years. ASI provides laundry services to many institutions across the country and lets the schools specify their contracts.
"[All the machines] are high efficiency machines, and that's one of the requirements we specified. Looking for the least water usage and good quality machines for our students were also part of it," Wamelink said. "There's an
expectation that they keep those machines in operable conditions and they are pretty prompt with response when they're aware of an issue."
Although some students do their laundry on campus, it is not a requirement, and some students are not bothered by the prices of the on-campus facilities.
Julian Torian, a freshman from Overland Park, said for him the reason isn't prices, it's convenience.
"The prices are not particularly high," Torian said. "It can be kind of stressful, just doing laundry here just because ... everyone is trying to do their laundry. You know it's different when people can't go home, as opposed to someone like me, who can go home quite often."
But students aren't limited to on-campus laundry facilities. They can choose to use one of Lawrence's many laundromats.
Some laundromats, like Flo's Wash & Fold Laundry Service, 2605 Bluestem Drive, will do the work for you, but for a price. Here, one basket of laundry is $3.50.
two baskets is $7.00, and the prices continue to go up based on how much laundry you bring in.
College Corner, 1827 Louisiana St., is a traditional type of laundromat that has varying prices depending on the machines used. A full load in a top load washer is $1.75 and a full load in a front load washer is $2.50. The prices for washers continue to go up as they get larger. It costs 25 cents for eight minutes of drying time, with an average of three to four quarters needed per load.
So, if a student went to College Corner and used the top load washer to do four loads of laundry, plus drying, it would cost them about $11 per week.
Erin Mannion, a freshman from St. Louis, Mo., does laundry at the Alpha Chi Omega house.
Some students who are involved in Greek life choose to do their laundry at their sorority or fraternity houses and avoid the costs of laundromats.
"It's easier [to do laundry] and it's free, too," Mannion said.

Gov. urges defense of gay marriage ban
ASSOCIATED PRESS
1OPEKA, Kan. — Republican Gov. Sam Brownback said Tuesday that Kansas should defend the state constitution's ban on gay marriage in court because it was enacted through a statewide vote, while Democrat Paul Davis' campaign described him as focused on other issues.
Brownback is in a tough race for re-election, and his public support for the gay marriage ban in the face of adverse court decisions could energize conservative Catholics and Christian evangelicals who've been a key part of his political base ahead of the Nov. 4 election. Davis, the Kansas House minority leader, opposed the gay-marriage ban as a lawmaker, but he's portraying himself as a bipartisan centrist in wooing disaffected Republicans.
The Kansas GOP's platform supports "traditional" marriage as "the foundation of society," while the Democratic counterpart says, "Kansas Democrats support marriage equality."
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday rejected appeals from five states seeking to maintain gay-marriage bans, including Utah, which is in the same federal appeals court circuit as Kansas. Gay couples in several counties seeking marriage licenses were turned away, and the American Civil Liberties Union expects to file a federal lawsuit.
Kansas amended its constitution in 2005 — with nearly 70 percent of voters approving the measure — to ban gay marriage and deny same-sex couples any "rights or incidents" associated with marriage.
brownback issued a statement Monday saying, "activist judges should not overrule the people of Kansas."
Brownback told reporters Tuesday that "the state of Kansas should defend how the people have spoken and how the people have voted."
"I don't know much more you can bolster it than to have a vote of the people to put in the constitution that marriage is the union of a man and a woman." Brownback said.
Davis spokesman Chris Pumpelly said the Democrat's agenda includes improving the economy, boosting funding for public schools and "working across the aisle to solve problems." As for gay marriage, Pumpelly said, "Moving forward, this issue will likely be determined by the courts. As governor, Paul will focus on priorities that unite Kansans."
in the Kansas House, Davis voted against a proposed ban three times in 2004 and 2005.
"It's important for Kansas to portray a welcoming image," Pumpelly said.
Meanwhile, the Rev. Terry Fox, a prominent Southern Baptist minister in Wichita and a leader in the 2004-05 campaign for Kansas' gay marriage ban, said some fellow conservatives are concerned that Brownback hasn't been vocal on social issues to energize the bloc.
"What's happened could be a game-changer in Kansas," Fox said. "Brownback is being given one more opportunity."

Rising sexual assault statistic may be fallacious
No doubt most of you have come across the many articles regarding sexual assault on campus in the past month. Recent statistics show that there is a rise in sexual assault cases at KU.
Consider the possibility that the number of incidences has not increased, but the number of survivors reporting crimes has risen. As the issue of sexual assault gets more publicity, survivors of attacks may feel more comfortable discussing
the issue.
I graduated from KU in 2006 and now work in community economic development. During my sophomore year, a person who lived in the fraternity next door to my sorority sexually assaulted me. Most survivors need about three months to have a full understanding of what happened to them—especially if they initially felt an attraction to the perpetrator. I did not report the incident due to the complexity of the parties involved.
One person's act does not define an entire group of people. However, the campus dialogue in the Sabatini Multicultural Resource Center (which I helped develop through Student Senate) is extremely encouraging. Many students do not have a comprehensive understanding of how impossibly challenging it is to report the incident as a survivor. Some of these victims have experienced sexual assault in their childhood, so the
repetition of this type of crime is disheartening to survivors. Repetition can often lead to physical distress with migraines, ulcers, and sciatica, according to Dr. John E. Sarno, author of "Healing Back Pain." If you ever come across these individuals on campus, please treat them with admiration for their strength.
If you or someone you know has had an experience of this kind, then please refer to the following resource: "The Sexual Healing Journey"
by Wendy Maltz. Sexual assault is much more common than most realize, so it is actually encouraging that Jayhawks now have the courage to report it.

Fraternities should take steps to resolve sexual assault issues
I recently watched a "Law & Order: SVU" episode that involved a group of fraternity members who were known for so many rape incidents that the fraternity was nicknamed "The Rape Factory." The episode dealt with how the university and campus security tried to cover up and underplay the issue of sexual assault, but ultimately the villains were the rapists, and thankfully the show brought about justice. While the episode is from 2013, the University of Kansas seems to be experiencing the show in real life today. Multiple fraternities have recently dealt with, or are currently dealing with, sexual assault and rape charges, while our administration seems to continually mishandle the situation.
This is an absolute embarrassment to everything the University is and stands for. But while we can continue to blame the University's administration for its abysmal handling of sexual assault crimes, we must accept the fact that this is a problem we must fix at the earliest level possible.
Anyone who assumes all members of a fraternity are rapists and the scum of mankind must be one ignorant person. We are like any other student, just trying to get by and survive our time in college while enjoying the best years of our lives. We aren't superior beings who think we are above the law. However, what separates us from "non-Greek Life" people is that we chose to belong to a social organization that is supposed to be built

@AdamTweets4You
upon the fundamentals of brotherhood and chivalry. It is because of this foundation of fraternities that we truly have the ability to rid the problem of sexual assault and rape that have plagued our chapters like cancer.
Since we are in an institution that prides itself on the merits of brotherhood and chivalry, it is time we start to make the necessary change to end sexual assault in the fraternity system. If we wish to truly exemplify these qualities, then we can no longer tolerate anything that may be attributed to the sexual assault problem on college campuses. We no longer can support brothers taking advantage of intoxicated women. In fact, these actions should never have been tolerated in the first place. Any brother who exploits an intoxicated woman should be swiftly punished, and on moral grounds they should be dropped immediately from the fraternity and reported to authorities. Your brotherhood with a person stops when their actions are as egregious as sexual assault. Being in a fraternity is about being a gentleman, and rape is not what being a gentleman is about.
Someone we call a brother should know how wrong sexual assault is. It is something so horrendous, that we have learned our entire
lives about how wrong it truly is. A real brother would know that doing such an act would ruin so many lives in the process. This includes scarring innocent woman and tainting the positive image that fraternities and their members try to uphold. A rapist is not a brother, and every member of a fraternity has the obligation to make sure that rape, or any form of sexual assault, should never, ever occur.
Forget about hazing and asserting power — this is the time that you can really create future brothers who are real gentlemen; the men who know right from wrong. This must be a collective effort all around to end this growing problem that many fraternities across the country are facing.
We can no longer avoid this issue that is so evident in our society. No more "she was asking for it" or "we were both drunk." Stop trying to justify yourself or make crude and inappropriate comments on Yik Yak. There is a fine line between almost making a bad decision and actually being a rapist, and it is up to us to make sure that no brother ever crosses it. Being blackout drunk is not an excuse. Be accountable and hold each other accountable, watch over each other, and never be afraid to deliver punishment where punishment is due. That's what being a chivalrous brother is all about.

Lawrence needs more creative events like the Zombie Walk
CAMPUS CHIRPS BACK What is your favorite event in Lawrence?
For the event, people of all ages dressed in their deathly attire, stumbling their way from South Park and on down Massachusetts Street. Bystanders filled the streets, watching as the undead walked their way through town. The best part of the entire event was how involved the participants were. It was also refreshing to see people join an event that had nothing to do with football games or tailgating.
If you were in downtown Lawrence last Thursday night, you would have seen the streets filled with zombies. If you weren't aware of the eighth annual Lawrence Zombie Walk, you probably would have been a little confused. Creative events like the Zombie Walk, whose proceeds benefit the Lawrence Humane Society, are good for Lawrence, while allowing the community to take part in something memorable.
The Lawrence Zombie Walk has set a great example for other organizations to be a little more creative when it comes to hosting events. After a while, the same thing gets a little bland. The Zombie Walk has raised the bar for all organizations,while

It was not the fact that people were covered in blood that made me notice, it was that so many people in the community participated. If we, as a community and university, held more interactive events, more people would participate. I don't think there were hundreds of people participating because everyone loves zombies. I think that so many people participated because of how different the event was.
The Lawrence Zombie Walk has opened my eyes to how unique and inventive people really are. The lajhawk community could benefit from adding a little more creativity into our humdum lives.

KU Encouragements aims to make students happy via anonymous notes
RYAN MILLER
@RyanMiller_UDK
In the past year, KU students may have seen or picked up an anonymous sticky note with random words of encouragement or an inspiring quote on it along with the Twitter handle @KUencourage. Those notes were left behind by members of a club which began on campus last year, KU Encouragements. The club aims to spread positive morale across campus, and having received a budget from Student Senate this year, the club hopes to do more than just sticky notes.
"It's going to be more of a big deal, [the club will have] more of a presence on campus," said Ally Levine, one of the club's creators. The group had its first meeting of the year last Thursday and plans to have meetings every other Thursday in 4023 Wescoe. The group estimated the club is up to 25 members this year
so far.
The club's creators, juniors Levine from Palm Desert, Calif., Cally Van Blaricum from Olathe, and Claire Thomas from Omaha, Neb., have plans to expand their club this year and incorporate new ideas to help encourage students, whether they may need it or not.
"Even when you're having a great day, it's always fun to get a little boost of happiness," Levine said.
One of the new ideas the group has for this year is what they dub "Quote Cups," a cup of hot chocolate with an inspirational quote or saying on it that members will offer to students. Van Blaricum said a new member suggested having students write what makes them happy on a large poster board. Levine said initiating new ideas such as the Quote Cups and interactive poster will help to encourage more students than last year.
The club also has plans
to ramp up its social media presence this year. Thomas runs the Facebook page and said she's trying to do what she calls, "Monday Espresso Shots of Encouragement." She said she will have people send her shout outs she will then post to the page and tag the person mentioned in the post.
Thomas runs the Twitter page for the group as well and said adding the @KUencourage handle to the sticky notes helps bring students to the club's social media pages.
"People take pictures with the sticky notes and post them to Twitter," Thomas said. "That's my favorite thing ever, when I get a tweet and we retweet it. It's really interesting that people are actually reaching out to us saying how we made a difference in their day."
For this year, the three founders plan to incorporate most of their new ideas when finals week hits.
"During finals week we will
be having a much heavier presence on campus ... since it's such a stressful week and we want to be there rather than on our social networks," Thomas said.
The group primarily targeted the libraries last year with their notes, but plan on expanding to new buildings in addition to the libraries this year, including Wescoe, Budig and possibly Summerfield halls.
KU Encouragements began when the three students were discussing ways to help others on campus. Van Blaricum said she had done something similar in high school, which helped to spark the idea for the club. Thomas said they looked through all of the clubs offered and since there wasn't any that fit what they wanted to do, they made their own.
"We wanted to give back more to KU and be able to spread the happiness," Levine said.
Since starting the club, she
has been able to do just that and she said she looks forward to encouraging the University again this year.
"I like just sharing the joy, and making KU a happier place to be because college can be such a stressful time, and any little bit helps," Levine said.
The three said they are excited for what's to come and to see how their new ideas will play into their goal of making students at the University happy. Thomas said she is most excited about the new members and the enthusiasm she thinks the group is showing this year.
Van Blaricum said they are satisfied with the positive reaction they have had with KU Encouragements so far.
"I think just welcoming everyone to it will help because it's something that everyone can get behind, everyone likes to get encouraged and be happy." Van Blaricum said.
Water polo club makes a splash on campus

Before going into detail about the University's new water polo club called Jayhawk Water Polo, club president Jeff Arnaudo cleared up a big misconception about the sport.
"Contrary to popular belief, we're not actually on horses in the water," said Arnaudo, a junior from Pacifica, Calif.
Members of the club water polo team participate in an early morning practice Tuesday morning.The club meets every Tuesday morning to swim and Wednesdays to work out.

youth level in the Lawrence area and in the midwest in general. We want to become a club team that will travel and compete with K-State, Missouri, Illinois, Iowa, etc. We also want to create an organization that's involved in the community through projects like fundraisers for water conservation."
Jayhawk Water Polo held its first official meeting last year in a dorm room. There, Arnaudo and a small group made plans for the club. Now, in its first full year as a club sport, the organization's vision is finally coming to fruition at the beginning of this semester, Arnaudo said.
"Water polo's such a new sport in this region," Arnaudo said.
He said the club has goals to be multi-faceted.
"In the future wed like to be both competitive and recreational. We want to grow the sport of water polo at the
Club members attend practices on Tuesday mornings. They meet at 6:15 a.m.at the Robinson Centerpool to swim for an hour and a half. On Wednesdays, the group has a workout from 5:30-6:30 p.m. followed by a meeting from 7:00-7:30 p.m. The club currently has 14 active members — three women and 11 men.
The basic rules of water polo are simple. Arnaudo and his team play a seven-on-seven game, including goalies on both sides. When one team scores, it is called a goal, not a point or a basket. However, the sport is a lot like basketball in the way players are set up and how they act both offensively
"Of all the sports I've played, water polo is the best mix of competition and getting in physical shape," Arnaudo said. "It's not hard on your body, plus it's goofy. Everyone's out there being weird and having fun."
and defensively. The ball must not go under the water and players must only use one hand unless they are acting as goalie.
The club encourages students to give water polo a try. Arnaudo said no one has come out and played and then wanted to leave.
"I had never played water polo before joining the club," said Tyler Sternagle, a senior from Long Beach, Calif. "It was something I always wanted to try and knew it was a great workout. It is really easy to pick up and the experienced
players enjoy teaching. It has turned out to be a lot of fun."
Arnaudo is excited about not only the club's athletic ability, but its charitable goals as well.
"We want to show that just because you're a club that has a 'sport' focus, your group can still do a lot of amazing things," Arnaudo said.

Group helps put third-world girls in college
ALICIA SANCHEZ
@AliciaoftheUdk
LAW MEDICINE
Five University students heard about an opportunity to help out an educational program and they ran with it. Laura Fagen, a senior from Wichita and president of the program, She's the First, heard about it from a conference she went to for Her Campus. After feeling inspired by Tammy Tibbetts, the founder of She's the First, Fagen decided it was time to start a campus chapter at the University. She asked other members of Her Campus if they were interested, and so the program came to the University.
She's the First members meet to discuss their mission. They will be selling cupcakes to raise money to help send girls to college.
She's the First is an organization that raises money to put girls in third-world countries through college. The girls are the first ones in their family that will attend college, hence the name. The program works with 10 different countries: Ethiopia, Guatemala, India, Kenya, Nepal, Peru, South Sudan, Tanzania, The Gambia and Uganda.

"I love the idea that it's the first girl in their family, and not just a girl going to high school, it's the first person in their family to graduate," Fagen said. "I'm a first-generation college student so that's really important to me."
The University students who started the group all said they feel this program is important in different ways.
Emily Lenherr, a sophomore from Windham and the secretary of the program, said it's a cool idea because it's not only about education, it's about what's happening around the world.
Megan Tiger, a sophomore from West Point, N.Y., and the events coordinator, said she thinks it's a great way to get more involved outside of Lawrence.
"With Her Campus, we focus on KU and the Lawrence Community, but with She's the First, this is a worldwide perspective," Tiger said. "It's so easy to take for granted our education, we're all here and we're all women, and I think it's really cool that She's the
Devan Schaly, a sophomore from Granville, Ohio, and the social media coordinator, said she likes the fresh feel of the organization.
First forces us to think about others, not just ourselves. We're so lucky to have this and [we can] make a difference in other girls' lives."
"This is a different organization and opportunity," Schaly said. "I mean, there are some She's the First high school groups, but this is an opportunity that I never had in high school and I might not have had it had I gone to college anywhere else."
While She's the First advocates toward women, they aren't the only ones getting involved. Fagen said there are boys getting involved with the program.
"Whether or not you believe feminism is important in the United States, it's really cool because there's all the problems that people are willing to help for," said Callie Byrnes, the program's designer and a junior from Shawnee.
She's the First has many
fundraising events coming up in the next months. On Oct.15, they are hosting a documentary called "Girl Rising," showing from 7-10 p.m. in the Woodruff Auditorium. They will also be selling tie-dyed cupcakes on Massachusetts Street,
Hy-Vee and local pumpkin patches. Selling cupcakes and other various fundraisers will help them raise money so they can sponsor a girl from one of their partner countries that they will send to school.

KU alumnae, sisters open bikini business a year after graduation
VICKY DIAZ-CAMACHO
vickyd_c
Twin sisters who graduated from the University in 2013 built a bikini business from scratch. Now, the 23-year-olds are in charge of one of the top brands in the industry.
Karah and Lauren Beeves are in the business of making bikinis for bodybuilding competitions. They said they taught themselves how to run their online business. They invested all of their savings and worked on the weekends, after working full-time during the week.
"Working through the financial struggles of starting a business from scratch brought us closer together," Karah said.
The business was spurred by their first bodybuilding competition where they said they recognized a need for high-quality competition bikinis. The sisters were both heavily involved in health and fitness before then, but wanted a challenge.
They made their first bikini in November 2013 and established Angel Competition Bikinis in April 2014. They credit their mother for helping them pursue the business and for teaching them to sew at a young age. All of their bikinis are made by hand at their home in Kansas City, Kan. Karah sews and Lauren does the crystallizing, or embellishments.
The twins work together on marketing, web design, sales and customer service and frequently post photos of clients wearing their pieces on Facebook and Instagram. The bikinis are advertised
as costing between $250 and $325 per piece. Their business has reached almost 7,000 likes on Facebook and almost 16,000 followers on Instagram.
"One year ago no one even knew who Angel Competition Bikinis were," Lauren said. "Now, we are humbled and honored to say we are one of the top competition bikini brands in the industry."
Faron McNeal, Lauren's former boss at Woodside Health and Tennis Club in Westwood, said Lauren was one of the fastest improving junior trainers who developed lasting relationships within the club and Kansas City community. He said their business model is based on a unique value proposition.
"Together they make a perfect one-two combo for a successful business and brand." McNeal said.
Before Angel Competition Bikinis, Karah was a cello performance major, but changed to respiratory therapy and worked at the University of Kansas Hospital after graduating. Lauren was an early childhood education major and became a personal trainer after graduation.
They said they are excited to see what the future holds and that they love what they're doing with the company. Their energy and commitment to their business is noticeable to others as well.
"Their passion for excellence is rivaled only by their drive for improvement," McNeal said.

Play about Columbine shooting to open in New York next month
±
NEW YORK — A play about the Columbine High School massacre written from the perspective of the two teen shooters will make its world premiere in New York next month, penned by a playwright who was 9 at the time of the killings and calls it "a watershed moment."
Nathaniel Sam Shapiro "The Erlkings" will begin performances on Nov. 9 at Theatre Row's Beckett Theatre. The play takes its title from a German poem found in a journal of one of the killers.
The playwright said he uses the teen killers' own words — culled from chatroom logs, homework assignment, teacher's notes and diaries
— to paint portraits of two troubled kids, not monsters. The play never depicts the shootings.
"The first step in dealing with this is in a larger social
context is to acknowledge our kinship with these people," said Shapiro, a Brown University graduate who earned a master's in playwriting from New York University in the spring
Eric Harris, 18, and Dylan Klebold, 17, opened fire at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, killing 12 classmates and a teacher and wounding two dozen others before killing themselves in the school's library in 1999.
Shapiro said that many of the popular perception of Harris and Klebold—that they were members of a Trench Coat Mafia and targeted popular jocks and African-Americans —turned out to be false.
@
"It's kind of incumbent upon us to swallow our pride or move past our own issues and try to reach out to these people. Learning about Eric and Dylan, one thing that sticks out is that I don't think anyone reached out to them."

THE MORNING BREW
Is Jim Harbaugh a legitimate candidate to become next KU football coach?
Did anyone ever think current San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh would ever
leave to coach KU football? Well, I'm here to tell you it might just happen. Recently, there have been reports around the 49ers organization reported by ESPN and SL.com that there is unhappiness with how Harbaugh is coaching, and his players no longer want to play for him. If ESPN and SL.com are right in their reports, then there should be no reason not to try and make a pitch to him about coaching here at Kansas.
Harbaughs wife currently lives and works in Kansas City, Mo., as a nurse, and the rest of his wife's family lives there, too. His wife is originally from Kansas City, and she graduated from Olathe East High School. If he comes

He could help snag a couple Texas players and 4- and 5-star recruits that can start on a daily basis and improve game-by-game. He is also the best coach to help struggling quarterback Montell Cozart. He specializes in quarterbacks; just look at where Alex Smith, Andrew Luck and Colin Kaepernick are right now. Each player led his team to the playoffs last season.
Everything is in line to make this hire possible. In athletic director Sheahon Zenger's search for Kansas' next head football coach, he

should not overlook Harbaugh. Kansas missed on the opportunity to hire him back in 2009 (Kansas hired Turner Gill instead), so why not make up for that mistake and grab him now while
he is considering leaving the 49ers after this season? Jayhawk fans shouldn't be surprised if, by next fall, Kansas has a current NFL head coach roaming the Memorial Stadium sidelines.

Who is the Kansas soccer MVP so far?
"KAITLYN STROUD"
+
The Kansas women's soccer team sits at 13-1-0 with five games remaining in the regular season. Ranked 11th in the country and undefeated in Big 12 play, the record season for the Jayhawks will only become more exciting in the weeks to come.
The team has leaders in multiple facets of the pitch. Coach Mark Francis has led Kansas to the best winning percentage in the country at 928, in his 15th year in Lawrence. Liana Salazar and Ashley Williams trigger the Jayhawks' attack with nine and six goals, respectively.
But the biggest key to Kansas' success this year has been fifth-year senior goalkeeper Kaitlyn Stroud. Stroud has kept this Kansas team in every game she's played in, allowing no more than a single goal in a game and allowing six total on the season.
.46 goals per game average. On top of all that, she has 56 saves on 62 shots on goal this season.
Looking at strictly stats, Stroud has been incredibly impressive with seven shutouts in 13 games played. She has a .903 save percentage, and a
All stats aside, there have been games and saves where Stroud has drastically changed the structure of the match.
thing with Stroud is, she hasn't had that much to do in some games, but when she needs to make a save, she's coming up really big"
In a 4-0 win against Saint Mary's, Stroud faced few shots throughout the course of the game with Kansas in control. Yet, with the score tied at 0-0 early on, the Gaels had an almost certain goal-scoring opportunity after a breakdown in the lajyawk defense. Stroud was able to make an acrobatic save denying Saint Mary's the early lead.
"If Stroub doesn't make that save, it's 1-0 and we're down 1-0, and it's a whole different ball game," Francis said after the Saint Mary's game. "The
In addition to making key saves in multiple games, Stroud was also recognized as the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week on Sept. 30 after back-to-back shutouts against Baylor and TCU.
Stroud has been the anchor of the defense this year and has quietly led this team to one of the best starts in the program's history. If they expect to continue this success, win a Big 12 Championship and make a deep NCAA Tournament run, they will have to rely on Stroud to add to her already spectacular season in goal.

"LIANA SALAZAR"
A as a soccer coach, there is no greater joy than to have
joy than to have a dominant presence, both fast and powerful, that you can count on to score goals every game. There's also no better asset than to have a midfielder who defends well and can backtrack while still scoring like a forward. Kansas coach Mark Francis has both players, or rather, both qualities in one player.
Liana Salazar, a 5-foot-3 junior midfielder, has all the speed and finesse of a great striker, along with the movement and versatility of a top-class midfielder.
DAILY DEBATE RESULTS: OCT.7, 2014
In fact, the No. 11-ranked Jayhawks have ridden on her back for much of the year on their way to a 13-1-0 record.
The stats alone are impressive. Her nine goals are good for 23rd in the country and first on the team. Her 21 points also lead the team, and she's taken nearly twice as many shots as the next leading jahawk.
Who should be the starting quarterback for the rest of the season?
MICHAEL CUMMINGS: 50%
— 12 people polled
VOTE FOR THE WRITER WITH THE MOST CONVINCING ARGUMENT AT KANSAN.COM
MONTELL COZART: 50%
Nine goals on 41 shots isn't exactly the picture of efficiency. But for the explosive jayhawk offense, it's not about the efficiency so much as the sheer number of shots. The Jayhawks have outshot their opponents by nearly 30 through 14 games, and have outscored opponents 30-7. In fact, compared to their opponents, the Jayhawk offense is nearly four times more efficient, and Salazar alone has more goals (9) than all her opponents combined (7).
Salazar has made an impact on her team that goes beyond the goals. She's played more minutes than every midfielder except Jackie Georglouis, showing her dependability. She's been issued just one yellow card in 14 games, showing her discipline. She's the only
Jayhawk to take a penalty shot, and she's converted on both opportunities, showing her cool under pressure. And her three game-winning goals are the highest on the team.
She also has World Cup experience, playing in three matches for Colombia in 2011, including a start against the United States.
In Salazar, Francis has a dependable goal-scoring, clutch, cool-under-pressure, powerful midfield force — one of the best in the country. It's tough to say Salazar is the MVP of the Jayhawks over Kaitlyn Stroud. But Salazar has created something out of nothing countless times, not only supplying herself but assisting her teammates, all out of a midfield position where she is required to track back on defense in addition to attacking. While Stroud must usually depend on her back line, the high-powered Jayhawk offense depends on Salazar.
And if they want to unseat the UCLA Bruins and win their first ever championship, they'll need big contributions from Salazar.

COMMENTARY
No.2 center a Kansas basketball prospect
By Ben Felderstein

The No.2 center in this year's prestigious class of big men is Caleb Swanigan, a 6-foot-8 big man from Indiana. Swanigan is a five-star recruit who attended Homestead High School.
Swanigan has 13 schools on his list, including Kansas, Arizona, Kentucky and UConn. The center has been dominant in his high school career due to his wide frame.
In eighth grade, Swanigan weighed nearly 350 pounds. He left his family to go live with Roosevelt Barnes, a sports agent who now acts as Swanigan's legal guardian.
While Swanigan was living with Barnes, he grew 4.5 inches and was able to lose 90 pounds.
"He knew he needed to lose some weight, and he dedicated himself to doing that." Barnes said to the Bleacher Report. "Once he decided to be a basketball player strictly, he really focused in on what he was eating and really got involved with cardio. It was a combination, but it was mostly all his hard work."
Swanigan averaged a double-double in the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League, amassing 17.7 points per game and 12 rebounds. On the U.S. U17 team, he averaged 8 points per game on 69.6 percent shooting from the field.
High-low, old-fashioned basketball is something coach Bill Self has used in his game plan during his entire Kansas tenure, which fits Swanigan's old-school style of play very well.
"We work on back-to-the-basket work every day," Barnes said to the Bleacher Report. "Because when he decided he wanted to be a basketball player, we consciously made a decision that he was going to be an old-school power forward in the Moses Malone, Charles Barkley, Buck Williams, even guys like Al Jefferson, Zach Randolph type where he's going to beat you up and he's going to rebound the basketball."
Swanigan has added a decent enough mid-range jump shot to his arsenal, but he will probably not rely on that often in the college game.
A lot of scouts are saying Swanigan has a higher ceiling than all the other big men in the class. He is drawing in a lot of comparisons to Randolph due to his playing style.
"My game is not predicated on my quickness," Swanigan said to the Bleacher Report. "Once I catch it, I'm not in a rush."
I know I'm not the only one who could have pictured Randolph in Self's offense. Swanigan's decision just might come down to what the rest of the big men in the 2015 class decide.

@LizKuhlmannUDK
At the end of a disappointing season for Kansas soccer last year, the coaching staff sat down with goalkeeper Kaitlyn Stroud. While Stroud was a solid keeper, the staff had some changes in mind so she could improve for her fifth year and accomplish her goal of becoming All-Big 12 Goalkeeper.
"She committed and stayed here all summer," coach Mark Francis said. "She got fitter and got stronger. She's always been a good goalkeeper, but I think that part of her game was the part she needed to improve."
When Kansas walked off the pitch for the last time in 2013, Stroud had started all 20 matches for a total of 1,840 minutes. She had collected five shutouts and totaled a career best of 107 saves, only allowing 25 goals that season. Francis attributed her past experience to her success this season.
"It's her fifth year, so she has
some experience playing," Francis said. "When you're doing well and things are going right, you gain confidence. Obviously, as an athlete, when you gain confidence you can do anything you want. She's playing with a lot of confidence right now, and the team and coaching staff have a lot of confidence in her."
However, Stroud said this experience does not translate into insurmountable pressure. After wearing a Kansas kit for five years, Stroud said both she and her team know what is expected of her.
"I'm not a captain, but I know people will listen to me on the field," Stroud said. "I try to be calm and the person who jokes and keeps things light during practices. There's not as much pressure because I know what I need to do, and people expect me to know it because I've been here for five years."
This confidence is reflected in Stroud's performance this year. The seasoned vet is boasting two impressive statistics that lead the Big
12 and fall in the top-five category in the NCAA a career-low goals against average at 46 and a saving percentage of 90. Should her defense continue, she is on pace to break plenty of school and career records.
"I play the game I need to play and try not to get too focused on the statistics or the shutouts."
KAITLYN STROUD
Goalkeeper
"I'm very blessed to have these great statistics that everyone keeps telling me about," Stroud said. "It's kind of like counting chickens, though, you know? I play the game I need to play and try not to get too focused on the statistics or the shutouts. It's really easy to get sucked into that stuff, but the most important thing is that we walk away with a win. I try to
have that mindset game in and game out, and I think that's why I've been so successful."
why I prefer Stroud, she is surrounded by a defensive squad that allows the team to do what it most looks forward to: winning. While many players have rotated positions from last season, the Jayhawk defense has meshed together to form a solid wall most offenses struggle to get past.
"We've got some great depth," Francis said. "The versatility and depth [have] really helped us. We don't necessarily need to make any improvements; we just have to keep doing what we're doing. We gave up some goals this weekend, but we really haven't given up too many."
The defense is led by senior captain Caroline Van Slambrouck. Van Slambrouck was one athlete who switched positions this season, moving from left defense to center defense. According to Stroud, she has been an amazing leader and helped form one of the most solid defensive teams in the program's history.
"I think we've learned to be a lot more vocal with each other," Stroud said. "We hold everyone accountable. During practices, it just happens to be a group of girls who work really well together, and we're lucky to have a group like that because you can't force it. It just has to happen organically. And it's really lucky that we all get along well and can read each other."
With the toughest part of the schedule ahead, Stroud said she looks forward to proving the Jayhawks (13-1-0) belong in the No. 11 ranking spot.
"We're in a really great place right now," Stroud said. "These next two weeks will be proving ground where we show that this is where we really deserve to be and this is where we show up. There's been a lot of hype about us, especially going undefeated for [8] straight games, and I think people considered the hype to be just hype. This is where we show that we deserve to be where we're at."

Saturday's quarterback still up in the air

@UDK_Dan
DAN HARMSEN
Just one game shy of the season's halfway mark, the Kansas offense has sputtered to 15 points per game (No. 124 in the nation) and 154.6 yards passing per game (No. 115 in the nation).
Backup quarterback Michael Cummings runs the ball against Southeast Missouri State. Cummings is in the running for the starting quarterback. "Toward the end of the week we'll make a decision on who's going to play, if not all three of them," interim coach Clint Bowen said.
As the Big 12 schedule cranks up, continuing with No. 16 Oklahoma State (4-1, 2-0) on Saturday, the Jayhawks (2-3, 0-2) yearn for an offensive spark.
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
Saturday, interim coach Clint Bowen makes his debut at Memorial Stadium in front of Jayhawk fans. The novelty that comes with a new face roaming the sideline won't be the only difference come gameday.
In last week's 33-14 loss to West Virginia both backup quarterbacks Michael Cummings and TJ. Millweard filled in for Montell Cozart. Cozart is just 62-of-125 for 693 yards, with five touchdowns and seven interceptions.
At his press *conference Tuesday. Bowen said competition is always fluid, but particularly this week.
"All three quarterbacks will get opportunities to go out there and perform and prepare to play in the game on Saturday," Bowen said. "We'll see which ones are handling the parts of the offense that they can control."
In relief of Cozart this season, Cummings has
gone 9-10-for-19 for 71 yards, but had some respectable performances in October and November of 2011, falling short in close defeats to Oklahoma State and Texas at home and Texas Tech on the road. Millweard completed his sole pass near the end of last week's game, but despite a lack of playing time, has not been ruled out of the mix.
"Toward the end of the week we'll make a decision on who's going to play, if not all three of them,"
Bowen said.
But it's not as if the Kansas quarterback, whoever it may be, doesn't have weapons at his disposal — in fact, it's quite the contrary. With two capable running backs in DeAndre Mann and Corey Avery, along with a slew of wide receivers including Nigel King, Tony Pierson, Nick Harwell and tight end Jimmay Mundine, it just needs a quarterback to spark it.
"When you have a player of Tony Pierson's caliber,
he needs to touch the ball," Bowen said. "That's something that (the coaches) are conscious of, and I believe they are going to — there will be a concerted effort to make sure that Tony becomes a major part of the game."
In the Big 12, Kansas will need to find a quarterback who can stretch the field every now and then and hold the defense accountable, and an offensive line that can give him enough time in the pocket.
If the defense forces the Jayhawks' hand, and Kansas can't throw the ball vertically, it will make for a long second half of games. Five of Kansas' next seven opponents are ranked in the top 25.
"When teams can pack the box on you, it makes life difficult for an offense if you can't throw the ball and loosen them up." Bowen said. "We have to find ways to make teams be honest in what they do defensively."

La película "El Rifle" muestra a Jesús Reyes como el líder de la bandera de Minneapolis, quien se dirige hacia la provincia de Minnesota.
Este film se presenta en el Teatro de la Ciudad de Minneapolis en el momento de su debut en el público. El director del film, Jesús Reyes, utiliza un estilo dramático y realista para conveyar el mensaje de una persona que se encuentra en un sitio donde no puede vivir.
Con su filmes, Jesús Reyes se refiere a la historia de una mujer que ha beeniquita, una manera de expresar su visión y情感. El filme es una obra mágica, que nos invierte en las personas que más nos impactan.
Este film es un ejemplo de la articulación del cine con el comercio de los productos del país, donde las películas se pueden ser vendidas por las propiedades de las empresas. Además, el filme se puede utilizar como un elemento de enseñanza en la universidad.

HELPING THE HUNGRY
Campus groups like KU Fights Hunger help students and residents in need
KELSIE JENNINGS
@kelcjen
October is KU Hunger Awareness Month, and KU Fights Hunger, along with other student groups, are working hard to help hungry students. According to Erin Ice, program coordinator for Daily Bread, a program with the Center for Community Outreach, the University food pantry serves 40 to 50 students and residents a month.
About five years ago, staff on campus started a food drive to gather food for students in need because there wasn't anything in place. Back then, volunteers were mostly staff, said Thelm Simons, advisor and president of KU Fights Hunger.
But as the years have passed, more students have gotten involved. Simons said that in the beginning there weren't
as many people to share the workload, but last year and this year things have been more efficient because they're more organized and tasks are delegated.
"This year has been amazing to me, the way that everybody is picking up on things," Simons said.
Simons said that the easiest way students can help out is simply to donate. There are 24 donation bins scattered around campus, so they can drop off food at any time this month before the bins are collected.
October was designated as hunger awareness month beginning last year because KU Fights Hunger wants as much student involvement as possible. The food drive was previously in the summer, but it was moved to the fall when more students are on campus.
"There are different groups
that have interest in hunger issues, so we're trying to be a connecting point for all those." Simons said.
Two of the main events come up are KU Hunger Summit and National Student Day. KU Hunger Summit is on Oct.17 from 9 a.m. to noon. A food activist will speak to get the event started, followed by another speaker, and then attendees will get together and try to figure out more effective ways to help people in need. This is the first year for the event and Simons hopes it will become annual.
Simons said last year there was just a small discussion over lunch, but hopes a lot more people will be attending and the speech will lead to action. Lisa Eitner, marketing coordinator for KU Memorial Unions, said she hopes to see it develop into something that's more than a discussion.
"You have the chance to actually form some action, an action agenda, as opposed to just a sort of passive acceptance of information," Eitner said. "It could be very empowering for students.
"This year has been amazing to me, the way that everybody is picking up on things."
THELMA SIMONS
President of KU Fights Hunger
National Student Day is a nation-wide event that occurs on Oct. 9 where various universities promote social responsibility to their students. It happens simultaneously all over the U.S. and Canada, and each university has their
own way of promoting and celebrating. The University is celebrating this day in the Kansas Union bookstore this Thursday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. There also a national contest where winners receive $1,000 and an additional $1,000 for a charity of their choice.
One incentive for coming to the bookstore is that students can enter a drawing to win a mountain bike. Although it's not required for the contest, students are encouraged to donate $1 or a nonperishable food item when they enter the drawing. There will also be a few information tables set up, free sampling of nutrition bars and a spin-the-wheel game where students can win coupons and candy.
Eitner said that they want to create an energetic, engaging environment for students while educating them about
hunger awareness and ways they can help.
Simons said another way that students can help is by eating at the residence hall dining rooms on Oct. 22 when Mrs. E's, Oliver Dining and North College Café will donate $1 for every meal that is purchased that evening.
Students can also donate food to the University food pantry, Campus Cupboard, which is at the Ecumenical Campus Ministries building on campus. Daily Bread helps run the pantry.
Students who are in need of food can go to Just Food, which is on the corner of 11th Street and Haskell, or Campus Cupboard. For more information on KU Hunger Awareness Month, go to http://sustain.ku.edu/hunger.

Election officials reach out to voters on hold

Will Admussen, a sophomore from Urbandale, Iowa, speaks to students about voter registration. Go to page 2A for information about registration locations and times on campus today.
Ninety students who live in University housing remain on the list of Kansans who have attempted to register but have not yet provided proof of citizenship.
JOHN GRIFFIN/KANSAN
Douglas County election officials and the League of Women Voters are trying to reach more than 784 citizens of Douglas County on a list of "voters in suspense," including 388 voters between the ages of 18 and 24.
Efforts to call and even search the University directory for those who might be students have proven to be only somewhat successful, said Cille King, president of the League of Women Voters of Lawrence-Douglas County. The phone number portion of the voter registration application is optional, so the league has been unable to reach many of the voters.
Statewide, more than 22,000 voter registration applications are on hold, most because they are missing proof of citizenship, per a 2012 Kansas law. Others are on hold because they are incomplete or the citizen has not yet turned 18.The Nov.4 election will be the first the 2012 law will affect.
The Douglas County clerk's office has been combatting this issue with marginal success since January of this year.
"I would say it has been minimally effective, especially on the mailers," said Jamie Shew, Douglas County clerk. "When we made the phone calls, we had some people who we were able to get documents from, but a lot of what we heard was, 'Yeah, I'll get to it.'"
Potential voters received two letters with instructions after filling out their application. The clerk's office began mailing monthly reminder postcards in January
While voter registration drives — like the ones on and off campus now — help citizens through the application, they can no longer finish the process on the spot. Because most people don't carry proof of citizenship like a birth certificate or passport, Kansans registering to vote have to take an extra step after applying at a drive. King said this has been an issue, making voter registration drives less effective.
"When we filled out an application and tried to make sure it was complete, it was done," King said. "In fact, a few of the KU students that we called ... said they were told they were done from a voter drive on campus."
Shew said it was easy to turn in proof of citizenship because the office does not require a certified document.
"You can send it to us electronically," he said. "They can take a picture of it with their
King said Secretary of State Kris Kobach has been going through Kansas birth certificates and matching them to voter registration applications to help with the issue. She estimated that without this effort, 40,000 voters would be suspended.
phone and send it to us."
Voter registration closes Oct. 14, but voters can turn in their proof of citizenship until the day before the election, Nov. 3. If they are not on the list for complete registration, they will be given a provisional ballot. Following the election, officials will double check the provisional ballots. If someone turned in their citizenship between Oct. 14 and Nov. 3 their vote will be counted. Otherwise, their ballot will be thrown out and they will not be notified.

The Office will submit reports to the Douglas County District Attorney for review and to determine if charges are filed.
The PSO is reviewing this incident because it occurred on campus, whereas the Lawrence Police Department is investigating the alleged sexual assaults at Kappa Sigma, which is off campus at 1045 Emery Rd.
The Douglas County District Attorney said their first court appearance is Thursday afternoon.
University student, man arrested for suspicion of rapes in Hashinger Hall
Students did not receive an alert of the arrests to their campus emails on Wednesday.

The alleged rapes occurred between 2 and 5 a.m. on Sept. 28 in Hashinger Residence Hall, Anguiano said. Both men are 21 years old.
Anguiano said the reports came from both women through PSO and the office has been investigating the incident since Oct. 3. He said the incident occurred the same morning as the alleged Kappa Sigma fraternity incident, but the two are not related.
Jack Martin from Public Affairs said alerts are only sent to students when the Public Safety Office needs information from the public or campus community for an investigation and in the case of an immediate threat or action that needs to be taken.
Two men, including a University student, were arrested Tuesday evening on suspicion of raping two women, according to Capt. James Anguiano of the KU Public Safety Office.

Mathew Koehler, a freshman from Leawood, works on homework in the Writing Center in Watson Library on Wednesday. The Writing Center has already had 266 consultation appointments in October so far.
@haHaley17
During the weeks of mid-terms, libraries fill up with students determined to buckle down and avoid the panic of going into the second half of the semester with a low grade.
Marie Schmitz, the lead office assistant of the KU Writing Center, said there have been a total of 266 consultation appointments scheduled at the Writing Center within the first nine days of October, and last year there were a total of 352 consultations during this time.
Schmitz said it's common to have more students visit the Writing Center during the weeks of midterms and finals. She suggests students make appointments during these times, instead of relying on walk-in appointments.
Students with appointments are given priority over students who walk in, wanting to meet with a consultant.

According to the KU Writing Center website, the objective of the Writing Center is to provide feedback to students on their writing through different mediums.
The KU Writing Center offers face-to-face writing consultations, videoconferences and feedback via email. The face-to-face consultations are offered at several different campus locations. Of the 266 appointments in the first ten days of October, 33 have been over e-mail.
With the influx of appoint-ments, consultants have less time to cater to students who rely on walk-in appointments.
"I didn't make an appointment, so I didn't get in on time, my paper never got looked at, and I was irritated they couldn't fit me in." said Morgan Trout, a freshman from Overland Park. "I understand why you need appointments, but I would have still like to be seen."

Voter registration efforts continue at residence halls
On-campus voter registration efforts will continue from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Thursday at every residence hall.
So far, more than 400 students have registered to vote on campus, but the Future Majority has decided to hold another voter registration drive, according to Joey Hentzler, director of events for the Future Majority. Hentzler said the participating organizations want to improve traditionally low voter turnout among students.
"There's an absence of student representation," Hentzler said. "Our issues are swept under the table because we don't show up at the polls."
Students will be able to register at the tables and fill out forms to request advance or absentee ballots, which can be used to vote in whichever county students are registered.
The event is being sponsored by several campus political organizations including the Dole Institute, Student Legislative Awareness Board (SLAB), KU Young Democrats, Students United for Reproductive and Gender Equity (SURGE) and the Future Majority. He said the College Republicans are also helping promote it, but will not be able to attend.
Hentzler said young voters can make a difference if enough students turn out at the polls.
"KU's vote can change the composition of the legislature," he said.

Lawyer accused of rape quits chokehold case
Attorney Sanford Rubenstein doesn't want the woman's claims to distract from the Eric Garner case, his law partner said.
NEW YORK — An attorney accused of raping a woman will no longer represent the family of a man who died after being placed in a police chokehold.
The brash, publicity-hungry attorney, who's known for winning huge settlements in police brutality cases, hasn't been arrested or charged and denies any criminal conduct. His withdrawal from the chokehold case allows the Garner family to push forward for accountability, said law partner Scott Rynecki, who will replace him.
"The family looks forward to
A video shot by an onlooker shows Garner telling the officers to leave him alone and refusing to be handcuffed.
An officer responded by putting Garner in a chokehold, which is banned under police policy. Garner, who had asthma, is heard
Garner, who was unarmed, was stopped by police on Staten Island on July 17 on suspicion of selling loose, untaxed cigarettes.
Sharpton, a civil rights advocate, has championed the Garner family's plea for justice.
Garner's death has sparked protests including an Aug. 23 march on Staten Island that drew thousands of people demanding justice.
Associated Press
Rubenstein's accuser said the attack on her happened when she went back to his Manhattan apartment following a 60th birthday party last week for the Rev. Al Sharpton.
Garner's family has filed through Rubenstein's law firm a notice of claim to sue the city, the New York Police Department and six officers for $75 million. A spokesman for city Comptroller Scott Stringer said Tuesday that the family's notice of claim was under review, and the city's Law Department said it would review the claim thoroughly.

Student Senate to vote on department name

Douglas Dechairo, director of Student Health services, speaks to the Student Senate on Wednesday night.
@MirandaDavisUDK
A representative from Student Health Services proposed a potential name change for the department at Wednesday night's full Student Senate meeting.
Douglas Dechairo, director and chief of staff of Student Health Services, said the department has conducted marketing research and discovered that there is confusion with the current name. He said many students think that students are providing services instead of trained medical personnel.
Students have also been confused about the affiliation with Watkins Memorial Health center, the building that houses health services, which is why Dechairo proposed the name Watkins Health Services.
Dechairo also said that there have been conversations about adding dental care and orthopedics to the center. He said
that Student Health Services is also working to provide free STI testing, but he said he does not know if funding will be available.
Dechairo said these additional services would pay rent to be within Watkins Memorial Health Center and therefore, would not raise student
fees to in relation to the health center.
"If anything, our students benefit because they pay us rent to use our building to run the clinic and we benefit because that gives revenue to us to turn around and give more services to students." Dechairo said.
Student Body President Morgan Said said that senators can write a resolution to change the name and send it to committees for discussion and voting. Then it would pass to full senate. If the bill passes in both committees and full senate then Student Health Services would have a green light
OTHER BUSINESS DISCUSSED:
to change its name.
A University Senate meeting is Friday and conversation will be about a change in policy that would allow students on active military who have to leave for short periods of time to make up exams and work that they may miss in the classroom. The University Senate will vote on this Nov. 6. This policy already passed in Student Senate but must also pass in University Senate in order to update the policy.
"Its a great thing we're finally able to put through here," Miranda Wagner, student body vice president, said.
Wagner also mentioned that work has begun on the mental health platform and that members of senate will meet with the director of Counseling and Psychological Services next Thursday to discuss plans.

CLAS to launch language school in 2015
CHANDLER BOESE
@ChandlerBoese
After a year of work, the foreign language departments in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences have come together to form the School of Languages, Literatures and Cultures, which will launch publicly next August.
According to Marc Greenberg, director of the new school and chair for Germanic languages and literatures, the school will offer the same courses that individual departments have offered in the past, which can be viewed on each department's individual websites.
"We offer 40 languages at this university, more than any other between the Rocky Mountains and the Mississippi River," said Danny Anderson, dean of liberal arts and sciences. "The School of Languages, Literatures and Cultures will serve as both a destination and a portal to those interested in expanding their linguistic abilities and cultural awareness."
Greenberg said that the East Asian Languages and Cultures, French & Italian, Germanic, Slavic and Spanish & Portuguese programs will make up the core departments of the new school. Departments within the African and African-American Studies, Classics, Linguistics, Jewish Studies and Area Studies programs will also be included.
During the last year, several dozen members of the University community, faculty, staff and student body worked in committees to form the new school, which was approved by the Kansas Board of Regents on Sept. 17.
"The process gave us a chance to think creatively about what we might do in the future to deploy our resources not only efficiently, but also create new opportunities for students," Greenberg said. "Over the next few years you will see evolutive change in the way we operate, with a great deal of attention
given to students' evolving needs and interests."
Anderson hopes that the creation of this school will open up more co-curricular options such as guest speakers, career lectures and internship opportunities, as well as a way for foreign language students to associate with each other.
ahead in the competitive, international job market of today. Schofield says that from business to engineering, every field across the board can benefit from a great knowledge of other languages and cultures.
"By creating a tighter-knit community of language-teaching practitioners, we will foster a culture of best practices as well as provide opportunities for professional support," Greenberg said.
Ann Schofield, associate dean of humanities, said she believes the new school will provide an opportunity for students to get
"Study in foreign languages can take students from KU to nearly anywhere around the globe," Anderson said. "Alumni with language skills have found jobs from Hong Kong to Brazil to France to Nigeria. They work overseas for major corporations or humanitarian organizations, as professors, as entrepreneurs, and a whole host of other careers. It's a fantastic launching point."

Hong Kong protests should elicit more than solidarity
Thousands of Chinese students are protesting
against Beijing's policies regarding Hong Kong's supposed political autonomy. When Hong Kong was handed over to China from the United Kingdom in 1997, stipulations of the handover required that Hong Kong be allowed to democratically elect their chief executive politician beginning in 2017, according to BBC News. China, however, recently announced it would allow Hong Kong to vote only from a selection of pre-approved candidates — a move that ignited the protests.
The protesters' efforts have been successful in drawing international attention to the situation, but it isn't clear how effective the protests will
oe in changing Beijing's notoriously stubborn political agenda. Beijing finds itself in an awkward position - wanting badly to suppress the protests, while having to restrain itself from getting physically involved in Hong Kong territory. International commentary has condemned China's authoritarian-style approach in seeking to maintain control over Hong Kong, clearly disregarding the 1997 agreement. Beijing, however, has been playing down the international response, claiming the matter as an "internal" conflict it hopes to quickly resolve (in its favor, of course).
By Sebastian Schoneich
@ThingsSebiThink
As peers of those protesters, how should we react to the daily doses of news from Hong Kong?
As citizens of a (mostly) free and (mostly) democratically operated country, we should first of all feel solidarity with democracy-minded Hong Kong citizens. They are fighting for a freedom that we have the privilege of regarding as self-evident. Imagine what it would be like to live under the control of communist China; then, think about how many people of the world live under similar rule. If you do take democracy to be a self-evident societal freedom, then it's important to recognize
that we shouldn't take our political freedom for granted as easily as we do most of the time.
You might realize many of the issues we get caught up in are pretty silly in comparison to what goes on in the rest of the world. While citizens in Hong Kong protest against authoritarian rule, our University finds it important to sack its football coach due to our poorly performing football team. Even worse, our democratic political system finds itself plagued by situations that insult the value of having a free political system in the first place. For example, Kansas' gubernatorial candidates are currently engaged in petty competition with one another, attempting
to create negative images of the other and often using politically irrelevant examples in order to obtain office. This is insulting to our system because it makes it seem acceptable to treat freedom like a child, often employing dishonesty and psychological manipulation in order to obtain control of it.
Here, and in the rest of the country, these situations are common because we take our political freedom for granted. The current situation in Hong Kong should teach us to find more respect for the democratic system we have grown up in.

Censorship does not help us move forward,but backwards
This summer, I read "Lolita" by Vladimir
Nabokov. While purchasing it, I noticed the man at the register giving me some side-eye as he rang up my book. His look seemed to say, "Should you be reading this? Do you know what this is about?"
I wasn't oblivious to the novel's content,
and I was aware of the stigma attached to the story. "Lolita" had been banned across the globe for obscenity, and that was partially the reason I chose to read it. I consider "Lolita" one of the most compelling novels I've ever read.
During September's Banned Books Week. I was thinking about "Lolita" and how I would not have been able to experience it had I lived in the Middle East or another part of the world that practices censorship. I thought of how unfair it is to deprive thousands of
people of a book simply because it deals with the unsavory aspects of our lives. But to me, reading is the key to empathy; by taking people's books away, you take their tolerance as well.
Right on the heels of Banned Books Week, the Denver school board announced its proposal to censor AP history classes. Understandably, this caused an outrage among students and teachers, leading to daylong protests.
Originally, the school board looked to remove all events that "encourage or condone civil disorder, social strife or disregard of the law," according to CBS News. Now, it has changed the original wording of its proposal, but still passed a proposal that requires curriculum to be reviewed by a committee. If curriculum is changed too much, the College Board will strip classes of their AP rankings.
By Maddy Mikinski
@miss maddy
The time the Denver school board spent in history class must be far behind them because civil disorder, social strife and disregard of the law are the building blocks of American history.
In fact, our country's independence stems from an act of civil disorder and disregard of the law, known as the Revolutionary War. Are we going to stop teaching our students about unlawful events like the Boston Tea Party? Are we going to push the entire civil rights and women's suffrage movements out of the way in favor of something more plush and less strife-riidden? This is crucial.
This proposal reveals a gaping hole in our
society. Banning a book or censoring history classes are fruitless methods of cutting out the less desirable aspects of human nature. Banning "Lolita" won't protect society from pedophilia, just like cutting the Trail of Tears from high school curriculum won't change history.
Censorship is a type of wishful thinking that is dangerous to society. When an authority bans public access to certain themes or content, it sentences them to a lifetime of incompetence.
When school officials pull "The Hunger Games" from shelves due to excessive violence, they're missing the overall point of the book and, ironically, depriving students of the message that we should always be cautious when power is given to the wrong people.
At the same time, when a school prevents
students from studying the Holocaust because of its concern for students' welfare, it isn't helping students. When students see unsavory pictures and read horrifying statistics, it drives the point that some things in our past were wrong, and measures need to be taken to ensure they don't happen again.
Though censorship is an attempt at purifying our society, all it does is taint it. Censoring books or history because they portray us in a negative light is an insult to readers and students who deserve to have unhindered access to content that will make them more aware and, ultimately, more valuable citizens.

KU grad finds grandparents' love letters from World War II, raises funds to create book

The date on the letter reads December 11, 1941.
"Hello Darling," the letter begins. "I have been thinking a lot about us getting married."
In August, out of a desire to preserve her grandparents'
On Dec. 11, 2013, while cleaning out Hazel Anderson's office in preparation for her memorial service, Hazel's granddaughter, Katherine Anderson, stumbled across a box of old letters. Katherine selected one from the middle of a stack at random, and noticed that it was dated exactly 72 years earlier.
"It was dated the same day, and it was the one letter where my grandfather talked about marrying my grandmother," said Katherine, a third-generation Jayhawk who graduated with an MBA in business in 2013. "We took that as a sign that they were okay with us continuing to read the letters."
legacy and tell their lifelong love story, Katherine created a Kickstarter project to fund the publishing of a book of the love letters exchanged between her grandparents: Raymond "Andy" Anderson and Hazel Katherine Lee, Andy's high school sweetheart, future business partner, and eventual wife.

Katherine Anderson, a KU graduate, stumbled upon a box full of love letters exchanged between her grandparents during World War II. Anderson has raised $525 to make a book from the letters she found.
Over the course of Andy's five-year Navy deployment, the two would exchange over 300 letters. As of Oct. 8, 2014, the project had raised $525, exceeding the stated goal of $500. Katherine said once she finishes the manuscript she will be sending it over to publishers. She said if it doesn't get picked up by a publisher then she will self-publish and sell the book on Amazon and to local bookstores in Lawrence.
Andy and Hazel first met while growing up in Lawrence. They started dating as teenagers and remained a couple through their mid-twenties, when Andy
was drafted into Navy service in WWII, Katherine said. Before being deployed, Andy wrote the December 11 letter to Hazel, expressing his desire to marry her.
"They got married on Dec. 31, 1941 and then he had to go off to war," Katherine said. "And then they started sending these letters."
KATHERINE ANDERSON
Graduate
"When you're reading the letters, you see that he was just 100 percent enamored with her."
Katherine said the letters
range in length and tone, as some of her grandfather's were short and contained simple details of what he had done that day while others were longer and flowed with romantic sentiments for her grandmother, who attended the University around 1936.
"When you're reading the letters, you see that he was just 100 percent enamored with her," Katherine said.
In 1946, upon returning to Lawrence, Andy and Hazel started the business that is now known as Anderson Rentals. The business remains open today, and celebrated its 68th year of business this year.
"The two of them were kind of the perfect yin and yang," Robert "Andy" Anderson
said, Katherine's brother and Andy and Hazel's grandson. "He was the face and she was the brains and the books."
Katherine said that while both of her grandparents had distinct individual personalities, those that knew them remember the husband and wife's deep love for each other. Katherine said that one of the few ways to anger her easy-going and playful grandfather was to insult her grandmother.
"Above anything, beyond their individual personalities, the one thing everyone took away from them was how much they loved each other," Katherine said. "There was zero question."

Founder of Demetrio Tequila, Marion Mariathsan, showcases his three different types of tequila.
Bar crawl combines local tequila and philanthropy
DYLAN GUTHRIE
@dylangelo785
The founders of Demetrio Tequila, University alumni Marion and Gracian Mariathasan, returned to Lawrence last weekend and hosted a pub crawl that featured five different Lawrence bars. Marion recruited bar-crawlers throughout the night at each location, buying people drinks made with his tequila and individually handing out black rubber wristbands featuring Demetrio Tequila. The wristbands not only promote his company but raise awareness for a greater cause as well.
The Mariathasan brothers are also promoting philanthropy with their product through the organization Water for People. Water For People is a nonprofit company based out of Denver that creates sustainable water development around the world. Demetrio Tequila donates eight percent of their profits to Water for People.
"We just (wanted) to do something fun. This is a homecoming for us. Lawrence, here we are." Marion said. "It's a great way to build some awareness".
"It's very simple. For all of us that have the luxury of paying money for a liquid
"They're helping raise awareness to help with water cleanliness in different areas," Thiessen said. "They're trying to keep it local, even though we can't grow any agave in Kansas."
that makes us feel warm and fuzzy, let's make sure people aren't dying for lack of clean water," Marion said.
Eric Thiessen, a senior from Inman, is a server at Merchants, which was the second stop on the barcrawl. He said he is strongly in support of Demetrio Tequila because of their goals and the company's vision.
The pub-crawl finished at Henry's Upstairs, which was the first bar in Lawrence that offered Demetrio Tequila as a menu item back when the company was in its beginning stages.
"The reason we chose the bars that we (went) to is that they are big supporters of our product." Marion said. "We wanted to support the guys that support us."
The pub crawl took place on Saturday, Oct. 4, and began at Cielito Lindo. It then moved to Merchants, the Jazzhaus, and then to Eighth Street Taproom where the Mariathasan brothers had hired a salsa DJ.
"These guys are the most honest and fun people you can imagine," Dave Boulter, owner of Henry's said.
Marion said choosing tequila was, and still is, an easy decision for him. He said that by 2016 tequila is slated to be the number one spirit in the world. In addition to its marketability, he said he loves tasting the product himself. He characterized Demetro as a "sipping tequila," but said it also tastes great with certain mixers.
In addition to his philanthropy and his business ventures, this year Marion was selected as delegate for the United Nations Foundation, he said he is very active with the U.N. Marion has also started a philanthropic social media website called SoRewarding. The reasons behind Marion's social activism stem from the adversity he faced while growing up.
"I drink a ginger soda splashed with ginger ale. It brings out the flavor, but it's also very smooth." Marion said.
Boulter said when Marion and Gracian were young, they left Sri Lanka essentially as political refugees. They eventually made their way to Lawrence and graduated from the University in 1999. Marion was a computer information systems major with a minor in business

Medicinal garden open to students
Only a quick 10 minutes from downtown Lawrence, a picturesque garden known as the Native Medicinal Plant Research Garden includes a variety of plants that scientists, faculty, researchers and graduate students have used for research and show purposes.
Kelly Kindscher, a senior scientist for the Kansas Biological Survey and professor of environmental studies, said the 1,600-acre garden was started by funding through KU Endowment. The garden recently found a plant said to hold anti-cancer compounds.
"Specifically, we've found the wild tomatillo to have pretty potent anti-cancer compounds and we are currently doing research on them hoping to eventually see more effective results on a larger scale," Kindscher said.
The garden is part of the KU Field Station, which covers 3,400 acres in four different sites throughout eastern Kansas. Kirsten Bosnak, the communications director for the Kansas Biological Survey, said she has never seen anyone visit the garden and leave unhappy.
"I think people are drawn in two ways. I think they are drawn to it because they're getting a sensory experience, touch, smell, even taste or just knowing certain plants have been used in foods. The second thing is that they are connecting with the native landscape as it was here years ago, and with the history of this place and how many of these plants were used." Bosnak said.
On Oct. 4, Kindscher led a tour through the garden. According to the garden's website, about 25 people attended the tour.
"Since we have the garden, we feel the need to share it with others so we do tours at least once a year, sometimes twice, with the purpose of showing people and telling people about our research as well as giving the student farm an opportunity to show off their work," Kindscher said.
Bosnak said she has noticed a wide range in people that come to view all the garden has to offer. She said she has seen all
age groups from all around the world.
Bosnak assisted in creating the Native Medicinal Plant Research Garden. Her background comes from her passion for gardening, which she has been doing for decades, and experience in the prairie that sits on her mother's farm.
"I worked a lot with communications and outreach, and I also have a horticulture background, not academic, but experience in some of the studies," Bosnak said.
The garden has several parts to it including the research area and the show garden. The research area consists of 14 rows that are 50 feet long and hold about 25 species each year. The show garden holds about 70 species of medicinal plants, according to the its website.
"There are seven themes in the show garden," Bosnak said. "They include three native mints, culinary plants, European medicinal plants, plants that have been in the U.S. Pharmacopeia and National Formulary, plants in the genus Echinacea, milkweed plants and the last one is native plants traditionally used as food."
Bosnak was involved in a small group that developed the themes for the show garden. She also worked on the overall layout.
The Native Medicinal Plant Research Garden is also home to the KU Student Farm.Here, University students, faculty and staff grow their own vegetables.
Once the funding of the garden fully covered research, Kindscher said they were able to open the garden to student-run projects, allowing students to be a part of the Student Farm and use their own plots to work on projects in subjects from journalism and design to engineering and even fine arts.
The Native Medicinal Plant Research Garden has benefited research for the University through the conservation and harvest of medicinal plants, as well as giving students and visitors the opportunity to further their education toward ecological responsibility.

Aaron Carter talks album, tour
ALEAH MILLINER
@aleaheileen
The Kansan recently talked to Aaron Carter about his "Wonderful World Tour" and upcoming show at the Granada on Oct. 10. Carter became a pop sensation at the age of 10, and has released several successful albums, including "Aaron's Party", which went triple platinum. Over the course of his career, he has played millions of shows, had numerous television appearances and was a contestant on the ninth season of "Dancing with the Stars." Carter is playing at more than 80 locations on his tour to promote his new music. His single "Ooh Wee" will be released Oct. 14, and a new album will follow soon after.
KANSAN: How does this tour compare to previous tours? AARON CARTER: They are kind of similar. My mom put together my shows back in the day. I use the same formula for my shows as she used when I was growing up.
AARON CARTER. Oh absolutely. The goal is to promote my new music. A lot of people want to see me based on the nostalgic stuff. That was half of my life ago. I have grown up. There have been a lot of things that have hindered me from doing what I want to do in the music industry because of things I had no control over when I was younger. I have finally been able to get back on my feet. For me, it is all about progressing and moving forward.
KANSAN: Do you have any goals for this tour?
KANSAN: What should fans expect from your show?
AARON CARTER: They can expect high energy, a couple of the old songs and a lot of new music. I am not
KANSAN: What has been your favorite show or music venue to play so far? AARON CARTER: It changes all the time. Each place has its own meaning, its own culture, its own character. I love each place I perform.
a throwback show. I respect people coming to see me who want to pretend I'm still 12 years old, but now it is time to move forward and focus on my new music.
Biden to star in ads against sexual assault
WASHINGTON — Vice President Joe Biden is teaming up with "Law & Order" star Mariska Hargitty to do television ads raising awareness about domestic violence.
KANSAN: What is your favorite aspect of performing? AARON CARTER The interaction I have with my fans and seeing their faces. I perform for the attention of the fans, straight up. The gratification I get out of performing is all about making people happy.
NBC Universal says the public service announcements featuring Biden and Hargittay will appear on its USA Network on Oct. 19 during a 14-hour marathon of "Law & Order" episodes. The marathon is being dubbed "No More Excuses" and the ads will encourage people to get involved
KANSAN: How does it feel to sing your huge hits, like "Aaron's Party," now that you are older?
JRONN CARTER. It's cool. I love it. I sold thousands of records with those songs and played thousands of shows. I am very proud of my work.
KANSAN: Who is your favorite musician, and how has their music influenced your career?
AARON CARTER: I have developed into a pretty good singer, I would say. The topics of my music have matured. I get to be a little bit more provocative now, although I still have a lot of younger fans.
AARON CARTER My favorite musician is Wiz Khalifa because he is totally real with all of his music. He embodies someone who can be who he is without caring about what people think. That is how I am going about it. I don't care what people think. I'm not going to pretend to be somebody I'm not.
KANSAN: What are your favorite things to do on tour when you are not performing?
KANSAN: How has your music and career matured since your days as a teenager and your older albums?
Edited by Alyssa Scott
AARON CARTER: I love to make beats. It's one of my favorite things to do. I also do vocal warm-ups. It's all about the music to me. Everything that I am embarking on, everything in my life is about music.
in efforts to stop domestic violence and sexual assault.
Hargitay directed the ads, which will include dozens of other public figures.
Biden has long been an advocate for curbing domestic violence in the U.S., including through the Violence Against Women Act. He and Hargitay previously joined forces last October when they toured a domestic violence hotline operation together in Texas.

Students detail work experience at haunted house
RYAN WRIGHT
@ryanwrightUDK
Leah Albee takes pride in her ability to scare people. As Halloween approaches and haunted houses prepare for annual shows, Albee looks forward to using her lifelong experience with acting to help her professionally scare people.
"Getting a reaction from an audience is the main objective as an actor, you want to elicit an emotional response," Albee said. "One such response is fear."
Albee, a sophomore political science major, and Elena Cleaves, a junior journalism major, are both from Lansing and worked as actresses for the Halloween Haunt at Worlds of Fun last October. The Halloween Haunt is an annual event which features many Halloween themed attractions, one of which is an asylum, where Cleaves and Albee worked. Both got involved with the Halloween Haunt the same way: they were friends with a director who needed volunteers to perform in the attraction.
"It can be really intense," Al-
bee said. "It's incredibly fun, you get to really develop a character any way you want to, your makeup is always crazy fun, and you get to interact with people and you try to get a rise out of them. It's really empowering."
She said in a haunted house setting, the attendees are already paranoid and super high-strung so it's easy to hide behind a corner and scream in their face when they come around. While getting a good scare is "super satisfying," Albee said the work can also be very tiresome, especially when the attendees are rowdy or are too good to be scared.
"The latter is especially annoying. Why even bother going to a haunted house if all you want to do is act superior?" Albee said. "It makes the performers really uncomfortable."
Albee has been acting her entire life and was very involved with theatre growing up. She has performed in numerous plays such as Camelot, The Drowsy Chaperone and The Vagina Monologues. With her love of acting, she naturally found the Halloween Haunt enjoyable.
Cleaves performed in a few high school musicals but never took acting very seriously. Despite this, she found pleasure in working at Halloween Haunt, even though she said there were a few instances that were less enjoyable. Cleaves said performers have been choked and had items such as bottles thrown at them. "It's fun to scare, but some teenagers can be nightmares," she said.
"It was an eye-opening experience," Cleaves said. "I don't go to many haunted houses because I get scared easily, but it was incredible being on the other side. I was able to see the ridiculous amounts of time and effort that go into it, and how much it means to the actors who do it full time. I enjoyed being able to scare people and give them their money's worth."
Albee still enjoys performing when she gets the chance. Cleaves enjoyed performing at the Halloween Haunt and hopes to perform again this year.

Pi Kappa Alpha returns to campus after four years
+
CHANDLER BLANTON
@chandlerblanton
After a four-year hiatus, Pi Kappa Alpha is returning to the University of Kansas this year with high expectations. PIKE was a University fraternity until 2010, when it surrendered its charter in cooperation with the University.
"The chapter simply wasn't getting enough membership or involvement before," said Zach Ryan, PIKE professional expansion consultant. "Since then, PIKE Headquarters have been working closely with the University to be able to come back and start fresh and strong after a four-year break."
Ryan and Trey Gibeault, another professional expansion consultant, travel to campuses around the country where PIKE colonies are being started and recruit the men who will eventually become the founding fathers of that chapter. They've been at the University working on recruitment since Sept. 5.
"Our recruitment is based solely on recommendations we get from staff, varsity campus leaders and other members of Greek life," Gibeault said. "Once we get those recommendations, we individually interview the men
about membership within the organization."
Ryan and Gibeault received hundreds of recommendations, but were able to be selective and choose new members who were excited to be PIKE founding fathers.
"I was really drawn to the opportunity of playing a hand in building a Greek organization the right way," said Macaeb Swenson, a sophomore from Lakeville, Minn. "I'm excited to see how this fraternity grows both outward and inward in the coming years, and can't wait to get involved and make waves both at KU and in Lawrence."
Mike Davis, the senior vice president of donor relations for the KU Alumni Association and a KU PIKE alumni, said there has been a large alumni push to bring a PIKE chapter back to the University.
"We have a great group of PIKE alumni in the area from many different schools," Davis said. "We've all been passionate and energetic about bringing the PIKEs back to KU"
PIKE's hiatus may seem unorthodox, but it's quite common for fraternities to leave campus and come back a few years later.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
"Most recently, Alpha Tau Omega left campus for a number of years and was rechar-
tered in Spring 2012," said Dustin Struble, assistant director of Greek Life in the Student Involvement and Leadership Center. "Similar to PIKE, ATO's founding fathers were recruited by leadership consultants from the National Headquarters."
As PIKE returns from its four-year break, some have wondered if there's enough interest in Greek life for PIKE to find the members they're looking for. Struble believes there is.
On Oct. 9, the chapter will hold Meet The Pikes Night, where anyone who's interested can meet the newest members of Pi Kappa Alpha. Ryan and Gibault hope to have 100 members and be a fully functioning fraternity - complete with a functioning executive board and alumni advisory board — by that time.
"The Greek Life Expansion Committee was created to evaluate the current state of the Greek community and determine the need for expansion," Struble said. "After PIKE officials presented to the Expansion Committee why they believed they should be invited to expand to campus, the Committee voted in favor of bringing them to KU in Fall 2014."

Conservative states balk at gay marriage action
I will never leave you. I will always be with you.
Aimee McCarter, left, and Jen Kozushko share a kiss after applying for a marriage license at the Clerk of the District Court office at the Reno County Courthouse in Hutchison on Tuesday. The couple was informed later in the day of the application's denial.
WICHITA — Following Monday's unexpected Supreme Court decision not to hear appeals over gay marriage, Julia and Regina Johnson went to the Reno County Clerk's office to apply for a marriage license.
After 16 years and six kids, it was time. They watched as the clerk scratched out the word "man," explaining that new forms had not yet been printed yet.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
But the Johnsons live in Kansas, one of several conservative-learning states seemingly bound by the high court's decision where officials are taking a stand and refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Hours after they'd submitted their paper-work, they got a call from the clerk saying their application had been denied.
"It was wow — it sounds surreal," Julia Johnson said. "It was actually surreal for us."
Patricia Macke Dick later said she had no choice but to deny their license because Kansas' same-sex marriage ban, specifically, had not been overturned. The only related lawsuit now in Kansas courts is one filed by two couples who married in other states and sued Kansas over tax treatment. Their case is being heard next month.
Reno County Chief Judge
Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt noted that, to date, no court has squared decided whether the Kansas Constitution's prohibition of same-sex marriage is invalid and that the state will deal with any litigation when it comes. Wyoming and South Carolina are taking similar stands.
"The people have spoken on this," said Kansas' Republican governor, Sam Brownback, who is fighting a close re-election battle in which he needs conservative support.
Wyoming's Republican governor, Matt Mead, said the state will defend its constitution's definition of marriage as permissible only between a man and woman. He said he doesn't think the Supreme Court's action this week applies to a Wyoming case challenging that definition, which is set for a hearing in December.
to put in the constitution that marriage is the union of a man and a woman," he said.
"I don't know how much more you can bolster it than to have a vote of the people
an attorney for gay rights group Wyoming Equality, which is one of the plaintiffs, took issue with Mead's comment that the Supreme Court action had no impact on the state case.
"At the end of the day, the 10th Circuit's ruling is now the law in Wyoming, which means that same-sex couples now have the fundamental right to get married in Wyoming and the governor and the AG's office are trying to interfere with that right," said attorney James Lyman.

New Somali language offering growing slowly
MARK ARCE
@mark_arce13
Three days a week, Andrew Keehn heads to Bailey Hall to learn Somali, but due to low enrollment, he doesn't go to a classroom. He goes to lecturer Abdifatah Shafat's Bailey Hall office.
While he likes small class sizes,he wishes he wasn't the only student.
"Maybe a couple more," said Keehn, a graduate student from Topeka, of his ideal class size. "Just so I could practice more."
Elizabeth MacGonagle, the Kansas African Studies Center director, said the Somali language course was created to respond to a growing Somali-speaking population in the state of Kansas and beyond.
BACKGROUND
While Somalis have been coming to the United States since the 1920s, the majority of Somali-speakers came as refugees during the early 1990s due to a civil war in the country of Somalia, according to Diana Briton Putman's "The Somalis: Their History and Culture."
The Kansas African Studies Center states there are an estimated 17-19 million Somali speakers worldwide. In southwest Kansas, there is a growing Somali population located in Garden City, Liberal and Dodge City. In the Kansas City metro area, there is a Somali-speaking population of approximately 5,000. Recognizing this change in the state and worldwide, the University started offering the Somali language program this past summer as a way for students to seize on social and economic opportunities.
Somali was one of three languages offered at KU's African Summer Institute, which is sponsored by the Department of African and African-American Studies and the Kansas African Studies Center. While students enrolled in Kiswahili and Arabic, no one enrolled in Somali.
MacGonagle said this was due to a tight timeline to try to advertise and recruit students for Somali. As a result, potential students either had other summer plans or lacked funding to attend. Despite this setback, the Studies Center looked toward the future.
"We were persistent and kept at it and now we have one student enrolled right now," MacGonagle said.
CHALLENGES
Even though there might be a need for Somali-speakers, a lack of student interest so far stems from a variety of factors. Among them is competition with other language offerings.
Somali is referred to as a less commonly taught language, or LCTL. According to the National Council of Less Commonly Taught Languages, LCTLs are all languages besides English, German, French and Spanish.
This means students aren't usually taught Somali in their K-12 education and few universities offer language courses in it. The University is one of only a handful of universities that offers Somali, which is one of the University's 40 language offerings.
After graduating from Washburn University, the main reason Keehn came to the University was because of the language program.
"KU is the only Midwestern school that teaches it," Keehn said. "So I thought I'd take advantage."
The Kansas African Studies Center, which among other things promotes the understanding wand study of Africa, is looking to find more students like Keehn and is also interacting with the Somali-speaking community.
"The student I have is very motivated, and that motivates me even more."
ABDIFATAH SHAFAT Professor
The Center is working with local communities and has conducted mini Somali workshops for some of the public schools in Kansas City.
OUTREACH
"Really it's cultural awareness," Shafat said, who conducts the workshops. He said the workshops are "bridging the gap" between Somali-speakers and others in the community. Shafat and the attendants talk about everything from Somali cultural norms to pronunciations of Somali names.
Shafat will continue the workshops during the semester, and the Center may conduct workshops in other areas of the state. The Center is also working on campus to
increase awareness and the number of students in the Somali program.
Peter Ojiambo, a language coordinator with the Center, said that consistent outreach to the community, working with departments at the school and relating students areas of study to Somali language, as well as its other benefits, are principal ways to increase enrollment.
The Center also offers Foreign Language Area Studies, or FLAS Fellowships. The Department of Education awards these funds to Area Studies Centers, such as the Kansas African Studies Center. They are awarded to University and non-University students who are pursuing foreign languages for professional purposes.
The Center will also be working with the University's recently announced School of Language, Literatures & Cultures to promote the study of Somali and other African languages.
Despite the scholarships and other methods to help increase enrollment, Ojjiambo admits growing the Somali language program, as well as the other languages the Kansas African Studies Center helps to promote. is a work in progress.
"The trick is you have to be hopeful." Ojiambo said.
MacGonagle shares Ojiambo's optimism and is confident the program will see growth in time.
The Center and the Department of African and African-American studies will again offer Somali as a part of the Institute this summer.
While the Center and the department are working to grow the Somali program, Keehn is working to perfect the language. He studies Somali most days with hopes of pursuing a career in areas such as finance, banking or securities and those jobs would be more attainable for him if he knows Somali.
Keeln is still deciding on the focus of his graduate degree, but will most likely be international affairs or international business in the Middle East and Africa.
Shafat, originally from Somalia, loves teaching the language, in part because of Keehn's determination to learn it.
"The student I have is very motivated," Shafat said, "and that motivates me even more."

Study: Voter ID laws cut turnout of blacks, youth
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — States that toughened their voter identification laws saw steeper drops in election turnout than those that did not, with disproportionate falloffs among black and younger voters, a nonpartisan congressional study released Wednesday concluded.
The office compared election turnout in Kansas and Tennessee — which tightened voter ID requirements between the 2008 and 2012 elections — to voting in four states that didn't change their identification requirements.
The report by the Government Accountability Office, Congress' investigative agency, was released less than a month from elections that will determine which party controls Congress.
As of June, 33 states have enacted laws obligating voters to show a photo ID at the polls, the study said. Republicans who have pushed the legislation say the requirement will reduce fraud, but Democrats insist the laws are a GOP effort to reduce Democratic turnout on Election Day.
It estimated that reductions in voter turnout were about 2 percent greater in Kansas and from 2 to 3 percent steeper
in Tennessee than they were in the other states examined. The four other states, which did not make their voter ID laws stricter, were Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, and Maine.
"GAO's analysis suggests that the turnout decreases in Kansas and Tennessee beyond decreases in the comparison states were attributable to changes in those two states' voter ID requirements," the report said.
CHUCK SCHUMER New York Senator
"This study confirms the real impact of Republican efforts to limit access to the ballot box."
The study cautioned that the results from Kansas and Tennessee don't necessarily apply to other states with stricter ID laws. It also found that of 10 other studies that mostly focused on voting before 2008, five found no significant impact from voter ID laws, four found decreases and one found an increase.
The report said that in Kansas and Tennessee, reduced voter turnout was sharper
among people aged 18 to 23 than among those from 44 to 53. The drop was also more pronounced among blacks than whites, Hispanics or Asians and was greater among newly registered voters than those registered at least 20 years.
Estimated falloff among black voters was nearly 4 percent greater than it was among whites in Kansas, and almost 2 percent larger among blacks than for whites in Tennessee, the report said.
Young people and blacks generally tend to support Democratic candidates.
A group of Democratic senators including Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., and Vermont independent Sen. Bernard Sanders requested the study and said Wednesday that it confirmed their arguments and reaffirmed the need to pass legislation making it harder to curb voting.
"This study confirms the real impact of Republican efforts to limit access to the ballot box. Playing politics with the right to vote is a shameful practice," said Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.
Republican officials did not immediately provide comments when they were asked for reaction by email.

Paul Davis, Kansas Democrats' candidate for governor, discusses his proposal to reverse part of Republican Gov Sam Brownback's overhaul of the state's Medicaid program during a news conference on Oct. 8.
Davis promises to undo Kansas Medicaid change
TOPEKA — Democratic challenger Paul Davis on Wednesday proposed reversing part of Republican Gov. Sam Brownback's overhaul of the Kansas Medicaid program, appealing to vocal advocates for the disabled in a political race that remains a toss-up.
Davis said during a Statehouse news conference that if he defeats Brownback,he'll end three private health insurance companies' oversight of in-home
support services for about 8,500 developmentally disabled Kansans. The firms' oversight is part of the insurers' management of the state's $3 billion-a-year Medicaid program, which covers medical and in-home services for the poor and disabled.
Brownback's administration contracted with the companies to manage Medicaid starting last year and says privatization led to better-coordinated care for the program's 363,000 participants, at less cost to the state. But advocates for the developmentally disabled argued that the
change represented unnecessary additional level of bureaucracy in securing services.
The administration didn't initially include support services for the developmentally disabled in the overhauled program, now called KanCare, until February 2014, due to the vocal protests. And now, some families and advocates remain upset about KanCare as independent polls show the race between Davis and Brownback close or a dead heat.

RICH TRADITION HAS BECOME SELLING POINT FOR RECRUITS
LATE NIGHT IN THE PHOGPUTS BASKETBALL SEASONIN THE SPOTLIGHT
STELLA LIANG
@stelly_liang
With the football season not even halfway over, two other teams at Kansas take center stage this weekend.
Late Night in the Phog, the kickoff to the men's and women's basketball seasons, is this Friday at 6:30 p.m. in Allen Fieldhouse.
"Late Night's always big," men's basketball coach Bill Self said last week. "I can't talk about specific recruits, but it's not only big from a recruiting standpoint, it's big from our players' standpoint. A lot of our players that we signed come to Late Night and then that's something that they always look forward to, would be being a part of this."
The annual event, which is in its 30th year, is usually talked about in terms of recruiting, but it's also a celebration for both players and fans. Freshman guard Kelly Oubre visited last year during Late Night and is excited to be a part of it this year.
"I'm looking forward to the season." Oubre said. "I'm looking forward to Late Night. I'm looking forward to the fans being in the stands."
He said he remembers what it was like last year with the excitement in the air and said it was a big factor in why he chose to play at Kansas.
"I believe it was Late Night in the Phog when I got here and I felt the atmosphere and saw all the fans camping out outside, and I just saw what the guys did on a daily basis, and I just wanted to be a part of that," Oubre said.
A LOT OF OUR PLAYERS THAT WE SIGNED COME TO LATE NIGHT AND THEN THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THEY ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO,WOULD BE BEING A PART OF THIS.
- BILL SELF
MEN'S BASKETBALL COACH
The event is filled with skits and dancing, and there is also a basketball scrimmage at the end for the men's and women's teams.
Late Night not just because of the theatrics and atmosphere, but also because it means the season is starting. He said he is looking forward to playing and competing.
Sophomore guard Wayne Selden is excited for
The event is free and does not require a ticket. Fans who attended last year, or wanted to, know there were some problems that led to people being turned away at the door. In response, Kansas Athletics has changed up the entrance procedures.
It will still be a first-come, first-serve policy, but doors will open at 3 p.m. When Allen Fieldhouse is full, the doors will be closed. If there is already a big crowd waiting, the doors might be opened before 3 p.m.
Also different this year, students will enter through the northeast door, just like during basketball games. Kansas Athletics will communicate with fans at Allen Fieldhouse during the day through social media and traditional media. More Public Safety officials will also be around the arena compared to last season.
Late Night in the Phog will last roughly three hours. When asked what talents he would bring to Late Night, Oubre alluded to his dancing skills.
"Just my all-around game," Oubre said. "I mean dancing, that's definitely part of Late Night, my all-around game. I'm definitely ready to get out and play with my brothers."

ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kansas City Royals' Eric Hosmer, right, chest bumps with Alex Gordon as Gordon celebrates his two-run home run in the 11th inning against the Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim, Calif., on Oct. 3. The Royals' playoff schedule coincides with both Late Night in the Phog and a Kansas football game this weekend.
Jayhawks vs. Royals: The battle for fans' attention
SCOTT CHASEN
@SCHasenKU
Students are facing a dilemma they likely haven't experienced before.
On Friday, the University of Kansas will host Late Night in the Phog, an annual kick-off event to Kansas basketball. But with the Kansas City Royals playing their first game of the American League Championship Series the same day and time, many students are facing the difficult decision of whether to go to Late Night or be near a television to watch the Royals play.
"I've been both a Royals fan and a Jayhawks fan my whole life," said Paul Wade, a junior from Lawrence. "But on Friday, I'll be watching the Royals because it's something that's happened once in 29 years versus what feels like 100 years of Kansas dominance."
A big problem for those wanting to both go to Late Night and keep up with the Royals game is the notorious cellphone service in Allen Fieldhouse. With some students unable to check scores and receive updates reliably, it seems that staying home might be the safer option for those looking to follow along with both. However, some students, like Conor McReynolds, still
feel that experiencing Late Night in person is well worth the risk of missing some, or all, of the Royals game.
"Ever since I was little, my grandfather would take me to Late Night in the Phog," said McReynolds, a sophomore from Overland Park. "So I'll try to follow the Royals game on my phone, because I don't want to stop the tradition of going to Late Night."
Unfortunately for Royals fans
"I've been both a Royals fan and a Jayhawks fan my whole life, but on Friday, I'll be watching the Royals..."
"I've

at the University, conflicting schedules continue the very next day. The first pitch for Game 2 of the ALCS will be thrown at approximately 3:07 p.m., just minutes after Kansas begins its football game against Oklahoma State. However, with the No. 16 Cowboys heavily favored, some students see this as less of an issue.
"I would definitely rather watch the Royals over our football team, especially
considering that we're probably going to lose," said Luke Schletzbaum, a sophomore from Overland Park. "It's not much of an issue at all."
Attendance has been a problem for the football team this year. Kansas drew 36,574 fans for its opening game, making it the worst-attended Kansas football season opener in the last 10 years, according to The Wichita Eagle.
But some students aren't ready to give up on the football team just yet.
"I've been going to KU football games since 2004," said Ken Beck, a sophomore from Salina. "It would feel weird not going to games, almost like I was a fair-weather fan if I gave up on them this early in the year."
Regardless of what students choose to participate in, there's no denying this is an exciting time for sports fans in Lawrence and Kansas City. What hasn't been mentioned is that there is also a home Sporting Kansas City soccer game on Friday, another sporting event that factors into some fans' viewing decisions.
Either way, fans will have plenty to watch this weekend, and plenty of tough decisions to make.

High-profile recruits to attend Late Night
BEN FELDERSTEIN
@Ben_Felderstein
Every October, just as the football schedule reaches conference play and the hype of basketball season reaches its breaking point, it is time for Late Night in the Phog.
It's a time for recruits to come in and get a feel for Jayhawk tradition. They get to meet all the current players and coaching staff, and they can hear the roar of the Allen Fieldhouse crowd.
On top of introducing the basketball team and listening to speeches from coach Bill Self and other members of Kansas athletic coaching staffs, this is a night that is heavily used for recruiting.
Late Night has been a selling point for recruits in the past and is something that Self always stresses during recruiting.
"I was hooked right after Late Night," said freshman guard Kelly Oubre Jr. "It's a great time to learn the traditions and what it means to be a Jayhawk."
2017 recruits are expected to attend.
This year, six total 2015 recruits will reportedly be in attendance, five of whom are among the top 20 recruits in the 2015 class according to Rivals.com. Additionally, seven 2016 recruits and two
JAYLEN BROWN, NO. 2, 6-7,
200, MARIETTA, GA.
Brown still has 15 schools on his list, including Kansas, Kentucky, Florida State and Arizona. Brown has been called a strong wing with a decent shot that is improving.
STEPHEN ZIMMERMAN, NO.10.
STEPHEN ZIMMERMAN, NO. 7-0, 241, LAS VEGAS, NEV.
Zimmerman has Kansas,
Kentucky, UCLA, Arizona,
Indiana, Louisville, North
Carolina and UNIV on his
list. Zimmerman is a 7-footer
with the ability to step back
for a midrange shot. His size
and offensive fundamentals
bode well for a Bill Self high-
low offense.
CARLTON BRAGG, NO. 14, 6-9,
225 CLEVELAND, OHIO
Bragg has a short, fiveteam list made up of Kansas, Kentucky, Arizona, Illinois and UCLA. Bragg is one of the better athletes in the class, who has the ability to grab rebounds and attack the basket similarly to Cliff Alexander.
BRANDON INGRAM, NO.18, 6-8,
180.KINSTON,N.C.
Ingram has a six-school list made up of Kansas, Duke.
Kentucky, North Carolina NC State and UCLA. Ingram is one of the better shooters in the Top 20, with great ability to knock down shots in transition.
TYLER DORSEY, NO. 19, 6-4,
180, PASADENA, CALIF.
Dorsey has 10 schools still on his radar including Kansas, Colorado, Connecticut and Georgetown. Dorsey is a plus-sized guard whose play in the open court has been compared to John Wall due to his quickness.
MARCUS LOVETT, NO. 90, 5-11,
165, CHICAGO, ILL.
LoVett has five schools on his list as well. Those schools are Kansas, Indiana, Michigan State, Marquette and UCLA. He is a left-handed point guard with a consistent jumper.
All of these players will be in the Fieldhouse Friday, watching the classes do their dance routines, learning Jayhawk traditions and eventually watching the intraquad scrimmage. If these new recruits are as inspired as Oubre Jr. and many others before him were, then it could be these recruits passing down the torch of Jayhawk tradition next year.

Commentary: Late Night needs a lottery system
By Jeffrey Kaplan
@JKap22
Late Night in the Phog is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated events during the year at the University. Fans come from near and far to support Kansas Athletics at the free event to get a glimpse of the basketball team.
Multiple fans waited in line the entire day, but still didn't get a chance to step foot in the building. The mad rush of people to get in the Fieldhouse was complete pandemonium. There was no crowd control or organization outside of the Fieldhouse to prevent the madness. People were pushed aside,
But with the appeal of the event being free, there comes a major downfall, something evident from last year's Late Night at the Phog.
disregarding the safety of others as they stamped into the building.
After this experience, Athletics had to figure something out to keep this problem from happening again.
Currently, the plan is to open the Fieldhouse doors at 3 p.m., with the event starting at 6:30 p.m. While this somewhat diminishes the waiting time outside the building, it still does nothing to actually control the number of people who will be waiting to get into the event. More safety personnel will be on hand, but will it be enough to control the potential mob?
The more-than capacity crowd includes people who skip work, students that skip class, and groups that camp overnight. Everyone who goes through this trouble, and understandably so, wants
to be guaranteed into the building.
But the fact of the matter is that the system is still flawed. Because this event has grown in popularity in recent years — with the added incentive that it is free — there are going to be thousands of people waiting outside. A noteworthy percentage of those people won't get in after waiting countless hours.
An idea that Athletics should consider is an online lottery system that gives fans the opportunity to enter their names for a chance to attend the event, similar to the method Kansas Athletics uses for students to redeem their men's basketball tickets online. Athletics would then select a set number of fans randomly to be chosen to

The lawsuit was officially filed last Wednesday by the lawyer representing a group of players that includes U.S forwards Abby Wambach and Alex Morgan, as well as German goalkeeper Nadine Angerer. These players said they feel that FIFA has identified them as second-class athletes. While the men's World Cup builds brand new stadiums, women are fighting to play on a surface they find acceptable.
The players feel discriminated against by FIFA because men's competitions
By Skylar Rolstad
@SkyRolSports
are never played on artificial surfaces, but the largest competition in women's soccer will force the teams to play on turf. For men's international competitions, grass is installed in stadiums that have turf fields. There has never been an international men's soccer match played on artificial turf.
Some players have spoken out about the issue. U.S. national team forward Sydney Leroux posted a photo of her turf-burned legs, claiming that FIFA's decision was a gender equality issue.
The photo drew support from Kobe Bryant and Kevin Durant.
Whether professional soccer should be played on artificial turf at all is a separate debate, but players dislike turf because the flat surface causes knee and ankle injuries and is hard to slide on. Thierry Henry, a legendary forward for the New York Red Bulls, refuses to play on turf fields altogether because at the age of 37, he risks a career-ending injury.
Five of the six stadiums set to host the World Cup competition use artificial turf. The players filing the lawsuit suggest games move to venues that use natural grass, like BMO Field in Toronto or Saputo Stadium in Montreal, which each can seat around 25,000. The five stadiums that use artificial turf all have capacities of at least 40,000. This causes a problem for FIFA and the Canadian Soccer Association since the stadium being used for the most
important games should accommodate more people.
FIFA's role as a governing body of soccer has not been completely clear in recent years. Allegations of accepting bribes to hold the 2022 World Cup in Qatar have tainted its image. There is uncertainty as to whether FIFA has a responsibility to rid the game of crime, like game manipulation and betting fraud, and corruptly-governed host countries. As for this issue, it is directly FIFA's responsibility to correctly administer soccer in all countries for all ages and genders.
This lawsuit could make postponement or relocation of the women's World Cup in the realm of possibility. Most of the world's top players and countries have shown support for this group's cause.

attend.
This idea would prevent people from getting turned away at the doors like previous years. This idea would prevent individuals from driving for hours only to get rejected at the doors. This idea would prevent someone from being shoved to the ground by someone wanting to get in. Overall, it would decrease the many frustrations that come with attending the event.
A select number of the seats can be guaranteed for students, so most of the students who want to attend will have the opportunity to do so. The rest of the tickets will be available to the general public.
This system isn't without its laws. People will undoubtedly get upset if they are not one of the individuals selected to the lottery. Die-hards who plan their lives around Kansas basketball — ones that were willing to camp out all night or miss work — will feel they are being cheated.
With the lottery system. It would eliminate students skipping class, adults skipping work, and groups camping overnight. Late Night in the Phog is meant to be a family-friendly event for the Kansas community. But herds of individuals barging their way into the building is the opposite of that.
However, that's going to happen no matter what. A Kansas basketball fanatic who attends class or works all day may not be able to get into the building because of the long line of people in front of them who neglected their class or work responsibilities.
Even if Athletics doesn't consider ideas like this one, it should consistently be looking into ideas that improve theans' experience, which starts with getting them into the building. And doing so safely.

5 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE SATURDAY
2
KIRSTEN PETERSON
@KeepUpWithKP
Sophomore quarterback Montell Cozart evades an Oklahoma State opponent during the Nov. 9, 2013 game. The Jayhawks lost 42-6.
1. A LOSS WOULD DEVASTATE THE COWBOYS
FILE PHOTO/KANSAN
The Cowboys are the obvious pick to win Saturday's game. Since 2009, they are 18-7 on the road. The Cowboys defeated the Jayhawks 42-6 at home last season. With a Cowboys loss, it would break their four-game win streak over Kansas that dates back to 2007 and it would be the Cowboys' fifth loss to an unranked opponent since 2010. However, if the Cowboys won, it would be their sixth-straight win over the Jayhawks in Lawrence. Kansas hasn't defeated Oklahoma State at home since 1994. If the Jayhawks lost, it would be their 15th straight loss to a ranked opponent.
2. OKLAHOMA STATE'S DEFENSE STANDS STRONG
Within five games, opposing offenses have made it to the red zone 18 times, but only seven trips converted into touchdowns against the Cowboys' defense. Oklahoma State's defense leads the Big 12 and ranks 10th overall in the country in red zone defense. Oklahoma State defensive line coach Joe Bob Clements has led the defensive line to 17.5 tackles for loss and 9.5 sacks so far this season. Oklahoma State's defense ranks 24th nationally in sacks, averaging three per game.
3. NO DECISION MADE ON KU STARTING QUARTERBACK
Kansas interim coach Clint
Bowen said Tuesday that the quarterbacks would have to fight for the starting spot. Sophomore Montell Cozart, junior Michael Cummings and sophomore T.J. Millweard all have a chance to prove their leadership to Bowen. "We'll see which ones are handling the parts of the offense that they can control and are best at making the decisions that need to be made," Bowen told cjonline.com. "Toward the end of the week we'll make
a decision on who's going to play, if not all three of them."
4. COWBOYS PUTTING UP POINTS OUTSIDE OF OFFENSE
POINTS OUTSIDE OF OFFENSE
The Cowboys have scored 27 non-offensive touchdowns since the 2010 season. The Cowboys have scored two non-offensive touchdowns so far this season. Since 2010, OSU has scored two against Kansas . In 2010, Michael Harrison had a five-yard blocked punt return in Lawrence and in 2013, Justin Gilbert had a 100-yard kickoff return in Stillwater.
5. OKLAHOMA STATE'S OFFENSE
PLAYING ABOVE KANSAS'
OFFENSE
The Cowboys average 286.6 yards passing and 163.2 yards rushing, for a total of 449.8 yards per game. Oklahoma State ranks fifth in the Big 12 with 39.2 points per game. Kansas' offense averages 322.4 yards per game and only managed 176 total yards against West Virginia last Saturday, the fewest since 2011. Cowboys' receiver Jhajuan Seales, one of four Cowboys with at least 229 receiving yards, acknowledges that the struggling Jayhawks are going to give it their all in Saturday's game. "They have their backs against the wall, so they are going to give it everything they got to go out and get a win," Seales told espn.com.

QB questions could mean trouble for Kansas
BLAIR SHEADE @realblairsheady
After being pulled at halftime in the 33-14 loss to West Virginia, sophomore quarterback Montell Cozart didn't work with the first-team offense this week in practice.
Cozart said the quarterback competition was even this week, though all three quarterbacks, red-shirt junior Michael Cummings, red-shirt sophomore T.J. Millweard and Cozart, split the first-team reps evenly.
"Me, Mike [Cummins] and T.J. [Millweard], we've been going into practice everyday competing," Cozart said. "Yesterday, Mike went first and took the first reps, then I came in after and T.J. after me. We've been splitting it up
pretty even, and we're pretty even."
With all three quarterbacks taking first-team reps this week in practice and interim coach Clint Bowen saying that all the positions will be open this past week in practice, you can expect to see different faces in positions including the quarterback position as Kansas (2-4, 0-2) faces the No.16 Oklahoma State Cowboys (4-1, 2-0) in Lawrence.
"Other guys get pulled all the time, but [the media] don't write about it," Bowen said.
The pressure of the competition will be good for all three quarterbacks, and could essentially make all three quarterbacks better because pressure is a part of the quarterback position, Cozart said.
"We all have great chemistry
in the quarterback room, so we're having fun with it and going out everyday with our teammates and having fun while getting better," Cozart said.
Jayhawk fans are familiar with Cummings because he played in the last eight games of the 2011 season. In one of those eight games, Cummings faced Oklahoma State, but lost 20-14. Cummings said the 2011 Oklahoma State game is the first game that comes to mind when he thinks back on his freshman season.
"Getting in the fourth quarter against Okie State two years ago, it's a good memory." Cummings said. "But we came up short, so it's a learning experience."
Cozart and Cummings have similar playing styles as both
can escape from the pocket and make plays with their feet. Millweard is a prototypical quarterback that likes to stay in the pocket.
"T.J. is different from [Cozart and Cummings] a little bit — a little more pro-style" Cozart said. "He likes to stay in the pocket, but he can definitely deliver it."
"I don't think it's any secret that I'm not as athletic as Montell [Cozart] or Michael [Cummings] out there," Millweard said. "I believe in my abilities to be able to run. I'm not going to break [a run] for 75 yards or anything like that, but I believe I can pick up a first down. I can lower the shoulder and pick up the first down for us."
Millweard, a transfer from UCLA, said if he gets the opportunity to play on Saturday, he'll do whatever it takes to help the Jayhawks win — even if he has to run the ball more.
year," Cozart said. "We can see that on tape, and we are going into this game with a mindset that we just have to go out and execute and put ourselves in the best position to be successful."
The Oklahoma State offense ranks 23rd in nation by scoring 39 points per game, which is more than double the points the Jayhawks score per game. Senior safety Cassius Sendish said that Oklahoma State runs a similar offense to what the Jayhawks faced last week in West Virginia's spread offense.

The Cowboys rely on their run game that averages 163 yards per game. Oklahoma State's senior running back Desmond Roland leads the Cowboys, averaging 18 carries for 76 yards per game.

This week isn't the best timing to be uncertain who the starting quarterback will be because according to Cozart, the Oklahoma State defense will be the best defense the Jayhawks face all season. Cozart said Oklahoma State was the best defense in the Big 12 last season, but the Cowboys lost six defensive starters, including 2013 Jim Thorpe finalist cornerback Justin Gilbert. Cozart said this season's Cowboys' defense is still really solid.

Sendish said the Cowboys love to give junior wide receiver Tyreek Hill the ball any way they can because Hill is Oklahoma State's best offensive threat. Hill is averaging five yards per carry and nine yards per reception.
To avoid a similar outcome to last week's West Virginia loss, Sendish thinks the defensive units needs to stay on the same page, and the team needs to stay aggressive.

OPPOSING SIDELINE
Football beat writer Dan Harmsen sits down with Oklahoma State sports editor
DANIEL HARMSEN
@UDK_Dan
21
Oklahoma State quarterback Daxx Garman is tackled by Iowa State linebacker Luke Knott (21) in the second quarter of the game in Stillwater, Okla., or Oct. 4. Oklahoma State won 37-20.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kansan football beat writer Dan Harmms speaks with Kieran Steckley, the sports editor for Oklahoma State's Daily O'Collegian and staff writer for OStateIllustrated.com, to get a closer look at Kansas' Saturday opponent.
DAN: Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy is no longer 40 years old. He turned 47 in August. But there is no denying that he is the man. With an 81-39 record in 10 seasons at OSU, my question is two-pronged: How long is Gundy going to be around, and will he keep winning at this frenetic pace?
IERAN: I do think he is going to keep winning at this pace. The program is at a height not seen before he came, highlighted by the Big 12 Championship and Fiesta Bowl run in 2011. He is constantly getting good recruiting classes, having young players come in and making an impact right away. He's also getting gems in recruiting. Justin Blackmon was only a three-star recruit. Brandon Weeden was obviously a walk-on. He knows how to recruit players, and more importantly, he knows how to develop them.
I do think he is going to have success for as long as he is here. And that's the other part of your question, how long will he be here? A couple years ago it was rumored that he was going to leave to go to Tennessee. Obviously, he has always been connected to the Texas job after Mack Brown left.
This being his alma mater, I think he feels the responsibility toward the community and toward the school and for the state, so I think if he wanted to, he could retire here. I don't ever think he'll be fired. I wouldn't say never with him. He is a prideful guy, and if he feels like he doesn't get the respect that he deserves from administration and from
athletic director Mike Holder. I don't think he would be against leaving given the right circumstance. I think he will be here a while, but it isn't out of the realm of possibility that he leaves given certain circumstances.
DAN: This is an Oklahoma State team that lost a lot from last year, bringing back only eight total starters. With Florida State right off the bat, and then losing J.W. Walsh to injury, you would have expected a tough start, but the Cowboys played them close, and hasn't lost since. What were the expectations heading into 2014, and how has the Cowboys fanbase responded to the first five games of the season?
KIERAN: Expectations were around seven to eight wins. Eight wins if you were more optimistic, and six wins if you were more on the pessimistic side. Like you said, there are a lot of new players on this team, particularly on the defense, which had seven new starters. The guys that aren't the new starters are young, and a bunch of the process is learning how to play at this level.
The fans have responded very well to this team. [They] kind of rallied behind Daxx Garman who took over for J.W. Walsh. They are very excited that this is a different type of quarterback. He's got a big arm and likes to throw the ball down the field, and that will excite a lot of fans as they've become used to this air-raid offense.
They are ecstatic about Tyreek Hill, the JuCo transfer [who] has a load of talent, takes the ball on the ground and returns kicks. Every time he touches the ball, you can hear the air come out of the stadium as the fans anticipate something big from him.
Overall, they came in with realistic expectations. Oklahoma State fans are accustomed to being a winning program, but overall, not an Alabama. They know it's more of a process, and this is a young team that is going to develop. I think they rallied behind this team, and the play has the fans excited, especially that Florida State game, a game they could have won. Against all odds, nobody saw that coming but myself. I think there was a glimpse of hope that the fans grabbed on to early.
DAN: Offensively, different year, same results. Oklahoma State averages 449.8 yards of total offense this year and is putting up close to 40 points per game. You mentioned a few already, but who are a few players to watch on the Cowboys' offense?
KIERAN: Every time Tyreek

Hill touches the ball he is capable of scoring a touchdown. He only has two touchdowns this year. One of them was a kickoff return, the other was a 50-yard pass.

Garman has an incredible arm. He loves to throw the ball down the field. He's not as strong throwing in the intermediate and short passes. He has a little accuracy issues there, but throwing the ball down the field is his bread and butter. I would talk about receivers, but there are a lot of names there. There isn't a true number one receiver on this team. (It) kind of changes by week. They're big, they're strong, they run good routes, they have good hands, some of them are fast. Jhajuan Seales is the leading returning receiver from last year, and he hasn't played as well as some of the other guys, Marcell Ateman, David Glidden, Brandon Sheperd.
DAN: If there's one weak point on this team, Oklahoma State is getting gashed through the air. If Kansas has one advantage in this football game, it may be in that facet, as the Kansas defense has allowed 30 less yards per game through the air. Problem is the Kansas offense likely won't take advantage. How do you see the Cowboys offense matching up in Lawrence?
KIERAN: You're right, the strength is up front. The defensive line is the most veteran group of that defense, return two starters, and the guys [who] didn't start last year are playing well. Jimmy Bean is a good pass rusher and good on run-support. Emmanuel Ogbah had a couple sacks against Florida State, he had defensive player of the week. The line-backers are pretty strong too. They help in the run-support: Ryan Simmons in the middle,

KIERAN: That'll be my prediction. I don't have my score on me. Oklahoma State doesn't take games off. They were saying they weren't going to let up against Kansas, even with the coaching change. They're going to come out playing like they're up against Florida State. I think, at this point, they are just more talented than Kansas. Sometimes, that's just what it comes down to — who has more talent. I don't have a score on me, but Oklahoma State will win the game.

DAN: Oklahoma State has won nine of the past 10 meetings against Kansas. They make it 10 of 11 on Saturday, right?

No.11 Kansas soccer to face third-place Texas
LIZ KUHLMANN
@LizKuhlmannUDK
with the momentum of two hard fought wins this past weekend, No.11 Kansas women's soccer will journey to Texas for the last time during this regular season to take on the Longhorns on Friday at 7 p.m.
The Jayhawks have now surpassed yet another historic program landmark as they broke the previous home-game winning streak record of nine wins. With two wins this past weekend, the active streak is now at 11.
"We're pretty confident right now, but we're trying not to get ahead of ourselves," midfielder and forward Jamie Fletcher said.
This confidence will carry the Jayhawks to one of their
toughest games of the season against Texas, a team currently ranked third in the Big 12. Coming off a 1-0 win over Iowa State on Friday, the Longhorns are 7-4-2 overall and 2-1 in the conference. The team averages 1.62 goals per game and 16.2 shots per game, only allowing .85 and 12.4 respectively from their opponents. Both Fletcher and coach Mark Francis have predicted a tough game with a great atmosphere.
nent.
"We've never played there at night in my three years," Fletcher said. "It should be a great atmosphere. Texas is a really good team, so we have to stay confident but not complacent."
Francis said, despite tough competition, if the Jayhawks play as they have been playing, the team should have no problem competing with any oppo-
"In these conference games, it's always close, you know?" Francis said. "You look at the results of the conference so far and kind of everybody is beating everybody so it just comes down to that day, that time and that game where you have to perform and execute better than the other team."
C
"We're pretty confident right now, but we're trying not to get ahead of ourselves."
Success this weekend comes from proper preparation and
recovery this week, Fletcher said. The team has to have a tougher mentality when they travel onto a foreign pitch.
JAMIE FLETCHER Midfielder and forward
"You have to try and have the same mentality as a home game," Fletcher said. "You're a little bit more uncomfortable because you're sleeping in a hotel and you're traveling a lot, but you have to let that not affect you in any way and have the same mindset as a home game."
Francis said he is looking forward to hopefully adding another win to the record sheet and playing good competition this weekend.
"When you're a coach or a player, you want to play against good teams," Francis said. "This is an opportunity Friday for us to do that and see where we are at."

Big 12 Soccer Power Rankings: Kansas vaults to first
BEN CARROLL
@BCarroll91
1. KANSAS (3-0, 13-1)
For the Jayhawks, the defense has been solidified during the course of the season, allowing just seven goals in 14 games. The offense, led by junior midfielder Liana Salazar and her conference-leading nine goals, has been a force. Ten different players have been able to net goals this season for the Jayhawks. They remain undefeated at home and have lost just one game all season, which is the highest winning percentage in the nation.
2. OKLAHOMA (2-0, 8-3-2)
The Sooners are the only other team besides Kansas still undefeated and without a tie in the Big 12, which is why
they get the number two spot. They have three loses, one of which came to No. 2 Florida State. The Sooners have some impressive wins on their résume. They have defeated No. 5 Florida and beat No. 15 Texas Tech last Friday.
3. WEST VIRGINIA (1-0-1,
8-2-2)
WVU used to be ranked ahead of all Big 12 teams at No. 14, but have since fallen down to No. 17. After losing two of the first three games at the start of the season, West Virginia has put together a winning streak against tough opponents. The Mountaineers have defeated a versatile Texas team but lost to TCU, a team Kansas has defeated, so they rank third.
4. TEXAS (2-1, 7-4-2)
4. TEXAS (2-1, 7-4-2)
Although the Longhorns sit in third place in the Big 12, they get the fourth spot in the Power Rankings because of a conference loss. Nonconference losses to teams such as South Florida (7-5-1) and No. 18 Central Florida (11-2) should have been won. Texas ranks outside the top 25 and ranks fifth in the Big 12 in goals per game.
5. OKLAHOMA STATE (1-1-1,
6-7-1)
Oklahoma State had arguably one of the toughest nonconference schedules, which is why they aren't ranked closer to the bottom with that below average winning percentage. The Cowgirls lost to Florida State and Florida, who are currently ranked No.
2 and 5, respectively, and also to Arkansas and No.19 Arizona State.
6. BAYLOR (1-1-1, 7-4-2)
B. BATLON (1-7-1, 7-4-2)
The only reason Baylor isn't ranked ahead of Oklahoma State is because its strength of schedule isn't nearly as high. Baylor has played quality soccer this season and has a potent style of play, which makes it hard for the opponent to play its game. But since the Lady Bears rank in the middle of the pack in nearly every single offensive and defensive category. The only category the team ranks first in is shutouts, which it shares with Kansas. Baylor sits in fifth place in the Big 12 standings.
7. TEXAS TECH (0-2-1, 10-2-1)
Before conference play began, the Red Raiders looked like the team to beat in the Big 12, sweeping nonconference play and ranking inside the top 10 at number nine. They had important wins against No. 14 Notre Dame and No. 22 California during that time. Since conference play began, TTU is winless. Losses to Oklahoma and Texas and a tie against Oklahoma State have the Red Raiders dropping out of contention fast, but still rank higher than all Big 12 teams except Kansas.
8. TEXAS CHRISTIAN
UNIVERSITY (0-1-2, 7-4-2)
TCU had a strong nonconference start to the season, going 7-3 in those ten games, but are since winless in the Big 12. Missouri and Washington State are the only
games the Horned Frogs have played against teams ranked higher than them, and they lost both. TCU needs to start winning key games in the Big 12 against powerful opponents to have any hope in making up lost ground in the standings.
9: IOWA STATE (0-4, 6-8)
The last-place decision is a no-brainer because the Cyclones have the worst conference and overall record in the Big 12. ISU ranks in the bottom three of all the team categories except for three and only have 18 goals in the team's 14 games.The Cyclones have no real shot at winning the conference title this season.

Kansas volleyball optimistic despite rough start
KYLE PAPPAS
@KylePap
Kansas celebrates after winning a point against the University of Texas on Oct. 5. The Jayhawks lost 1-3 against the Longhorns, but are looking to bounce back after a rocky start to conference play. The team will play Baylor Friday night at 7 p.m. in Waco, Texas.
After winning 12 of its first 14 games in nonconference play, the Kansas volleyball team has experienced a rough start to the Big 12 season, dropping to 0-3 in conference play with Sunday afternoon's loss to No. 2 Texas.

"It's not the start we envisioned for the Big 12," coach Ray Bechard said after the loss. "But, I think we saw moments today that we can build on."
BEN LIPOWITZ/KANSAN
It's the first time the Jayhawks have started conference play 0-3 since 2011, but the situation may not be quite as dire as it seems — all three losses have come at the hands of arguably the top three teams in the league. Texas looks to be a mainstay among the top five all year. No.19 Kansas State is 15-2, and Oklahoma is on the top-25 bubble while undefeated on its home court.
Yes, Kansas has struggled finishing matches — it was up 2-0 on Oklahoma and 2-1 on Kansas State before eventually dropping both games. But senior outside hitter Chelsea Albers said that maintaining momentum and limiting errors can fix that.
"I think we need to keep our momentum high, keep our energy high, and focus on not making as many errors," Albers said. "Especially at crucial points, not letting other teams
get strings [of points], I think that's a really big piece of why we're not finishing at the end."
Though it lost seven seniors from last season's squad that reached the Sweet 16, lack of talent isn't the issue for this Kansas team. Several new-comers have become instant contributors, helping ease the loss of the seven that it lost to graduation.
Freshman setter Ainise Havili and freshman outside hitter Madison Rigdon have been the two biggest contributors among first-year players. Havili is currently third in the conference with 11 assists per set, accumulating eight double-doubles so far this season. Rigdon was named the Big 12 Player of the Week for the week of Sep. 14, and sits third on the team with 146 kills. Additionally, freshman middle blocker Kayla Cheadle leads the Big 12 in kill percentage at .369.
"I wouldn't say we're inexperienced, but we have definitely a lot of youth on the team," Havili said. "So it's different going against these bigger, more physical teams. But I think we do really well for how young we all are."
In addition to a strong group of newcomers, Albers has provided veteran leadership and is currently sixth in the Big 12 in both points (3.67 per set) and kills (3.22 per set). But even with a better-than-advertised freshman class and natural leader like Albers, the Jayhawks simply haven't been able to put it together in conference play.
Bechard said part of the problem is not getting enough balls to the Jayhawk's middle blockers.
"Our percentage of the balls that are hit to the middle are not high enough," he said.
"Our goal is to get 30 percent of the balls to people like [Tayler] Soucie, [Kelsie] Payne, Janae Hall, whoever's in there. We're in the low 20s now."
Bechard said that it's his team's deficiency in this area that allows the opposition to gameplan and better defend specific tendencies. It's an issue that can be fixed by better passing, which is something he
said the team will work on in practice this week.
Though its Big 12 schedule has had a less-than-desirable start, the team still believes it has what it takes to shake its early-conference woes and compete among the top teams. Finding itself at the bottom of the league standings, the Jayhawks will need to begin improving this Friday at Baylor,
a team that Kansas swept last season.
"I think we're all there right now. I think we just need to keep our energy high. That's the number one thing we need to focus on," Albers said. "If we do that, things will turn around in time."

Baylor awaits KU volleyball
MATT CORTE
@Corte_UDK
Predicted to finish second in the Big 12, and now standing at 0-3, Kansas volleyball's start in the conference hasn't exactly gone according to plan.
However, if there's an opponent that can help kick-start this team back into pre-conference form, it would be the Bavlor Bears.
At 1-3, Baylor's conference record is the worst besides Kansas, and the Bears' overall win percentage of .556 is the worst among Big 12 teams.
Putting it mildly, if there was ever a time for Kansas to get its first conference win, it's against Baylor on Friday night.
All the Jayhawks have to do now is finish matches, which is a lot easier said than done.
So far, Kansas has held set leads of 2-0 against Oklahoma and 2-1 against Kansas State, only to lose both matches in the fifth set by a combined score of 30-17.
It's not just finishing matches that's plaguing the Jayhawks. As coach Ray Bechard pointed
out, many others factors that can make the team more successful.
"Obviously there's technical things we can do better," Bechard said. "But what kind of a teammate are we being, how hard are we competing? Are we making our teammates job a little easier or tougher?"
In order to get a win Friday night, the Jayhawks should follow their coach's words closely.
They'll have to compete harder than they have all season and make each other's jobs easier than in any previous match.
It's not that Baylor suddenly turned into Texas or Penn State overnight. Rather, the Jayhawks can't afford to play any match less than perfect from here on out.
Also consider this: Baylor's lone conference win came against Kansas State, who happened to stun Kansas on its home court just over a week ago.
Although that win at Kansas State was Baylor's only one in the last seven matches, it's still significant that they were able
to defeat a team Kansas lost to. If the Bears are to defeat Kansas, it will most likely be through the team's top two hitters, Andie Malloy and Katie Staiger.
Malloy, a junior outside hitter, is ranked second in the Big 12 with 3.94 kills per set, which has resulted in 256 kills on the season.
Her outside counterpart, Staiger, has performed very well as a redshirt freshman, collecting 212 kills on the season with 3.16 kills per set.
If the Jayhawks are able to hold Malloy and Staiger to subpar performances while consistently putting their own hits in play, then Kansas will have a great chance at winning the match.
Baylor is currently ranked last in the Big 12 with an overall team hitting percentage of .210, while second to last in opponents hitting percentage.

Who has been the Royals' postseason MVP?
By Christian Hardy
@HardyNFL
"THE BULLPEN"
Relief pitchers are often overlooked by the everyday baseball fan. They don't hit home runs, pitch no-hitters or even complete games. They don't steal bases, win gold gloves or make jaw-dropping plays that are featured on ESPN's Top 10.
But the Royals wouldn't be where they are without their bullpen efficiency as the season winds down.
On Sunday, James Shields was on the mound for arguably the biggest game for the Royals since the team won the World Series in 1985. They didn't need a shutout from their pitching kingpin. Just six innings.
"Just get us through six in the ballgame and we can turn it over to the bullpen guys," Royals manager Ned Yost said on the Royals' official website before Shields pitched a six-inning, two-run game. The bullpen threw a three-inning shutout, and the Royals advanced to the American League Championship Series with the win.
The bullpen has been stellar for the Royals all season, with
the seventh-best ERA and a 1.24 WHIP in the regular season. Both numbers would be higher if it were not for pitchers like Tim Collins, Michael Mariot and Louis Coleman bringing the team's numbers down before they were relegated to the minors.
For the main crew—Greg Holland, Wade Davis, Jason Frasor, Kelvin Herrera and the new addition of southpaw Brandon Finnegan from Texas Christian—there have been superb performances day in and day out. The staff has ultimately led the team through the postseason so far.
In the opening Wild Card game, after Yordano Ventura and Shields pitched 5.1 innings and allowed six runs, Royals fans likely thought it was over. Of course, the rally wouldn't have been made without big eighth and ninth
innings from the bats, but it was the bullpen that allowed only two runs over the final seven innings of play.
run in 12 innings on the mound in three games against the Angels,including two 11-inning games in which the crew didn't allow a run.
The bullpen sustained just one
Holland has pitched four scoreless innings, notching two saves. Finnegan has burst onto the scene in big spots, giving up only one hit in four innings on the mound. Frasor got the Royals through the ninth inning and to extra innings on Friday. Davis has been the same regular season Davis that sported an impressive 1.00 ERA. Even when Herrera wasn't ready to throw before Sunday, the rest of the staff has performed in a big way.
After six innings, the Royals are going to be hard for any team to beat, especially if the bullpen keeps playing efficiently.

"ERIC HOSMER"
It's very clear that the Royals can't thank only a single player for their successful playoff performance, but the work of first baseman Eric Hosmer can't readily be ignored, either. While the entire team is playing great baseball, Hosmer's had two playoff-defining hits that have propelled the Royals further into October.
By Miranda Davis
@MirandaDavisUDK
Hosmer, who was the 2008 number three overall draft pick, is currently living up to hefty program expectations and delivering key hits in key moments of the postseason. Hosmer did just that when
Hosmer did just that when he hit the go-ahead home
run in Game 2 of the ALDS against the Los Angeles Angels. The Royals were tied 1-1 when Hosmer hit the home run in the top of the 11th run, bringing in a runner to pull the score up 3-1. The Royals went on to win the game 4-1 and sweep the Angels with a final game at home.
In Game 3, Hosmer hit his second homer of the postseason during the bottom of the third on what would become the final game of the series. The Royals won that game, 8-3.
Just how important have powerful bats been this postseason? The Royals finished last in the MLB in home runs hit with just 95 in the 162 games of the regular season, but have already hit four in four games this

incredible performances from their pitching and bullpen this October, game-winning home runs are remembered and add to the atmosphere the Royals are establishing for the first time in 29 years.
His presence at the plate, outside of those big moments has also been impressive. So far, Hosmer has an OPS of 1.774 in the postseason, compared to .716 in the regular season, according to ESPN.com. In 14 at bats this postseason, Hosmer's seven hits puts him at a .500 average, along with five runs and five RBIs.
Hosmer's big hits will be a big part of what is taken away from this postseason. While a lot of credit should go to the Royals'
The entire Royals roster has certainly shown some Kansas City magic this October that has propelled the team into the postseason with a bang, but moments like Hosmer's home runs will forever be on the highlight reel of this postseason. If Hosmer can keep performing at the plate, and the rest of the Royals continue playing to the high caliber they have been this postseason, Kansas City might just be able to make it past the Orioles and into the World Series.

Moore deserves credit during Royals run
By Connor Oberkrom
@coberkro
Things have been magical for the Royals, and thing
have become so close to not materializing. As the Royals are a mere four games away from the World Series, a lot of people will soon come to the realization that you have to give credit to the man who is responsible for getting the team to this moment. As painfully reluctant as fans have been to give Dayton Moore credit, he is a huge reason why they're playing in Baltimore on Friday.
One of the things on Moore's resume that can't be disputed
is that he has been a huge proponent of developing a talent base in Latin America, which led to the signing of pitcher Kelvin Herrera and catcher Salvador Perez. The Royals had remotely no presence in the region under the previous administration.
In addition, Moore built himself what was coined as the Best Farm System with nine top 100 prospects on Baseball America's annual list. No teams had ever done since the inception of the list in 1983.
The Royals built their minor league stock up with a balance of hitting and pitching. However, as time had progressed, no one was making a withstanding impact. Mike Moustakas and Eric Hosmer played their first season in the majors in 2011 and were above replacement-level players, but after their second season in the majors culminated, the Royals stood at 72-90 and third place in the American League Central. There wasn't
any validation of the hyped farm system.
But as Dayton Moore preached loyalty in his players throughout his entire tenure, it certainly has had a profound effect on them, most notably Moustakas and Hosmer. While Moustakas hasn't played up to his capabilities, Moore's faith in him has paid off as he has hit two home runs in the postseason. The Royals front office is hoping for a bolt of confidence from him.
Meanwhile, Hosmer has been one of the hottest hitters post All-Star break, and as he did last year in the second half of the season, showed the potential is right in front of him. The only thing stopping him is the technical aspects of his swing.
Starting pitching was something that was never developed and always was the crux of Moore's teams, until the last two years. Yordano Ventura and Danny Duffy were the two tipping points
from the Royals being a fringe contender to them taking it to the next level.
They were pitching in their first full season as starters in 2014 and many pundits wondered if they were going to be able to sustain the dog days of the season without falling apart. Without their production, the shortcomings of the offense would have been more glaring.
Since Moore arrived in Kansas City in 2006, fans of the Royals probably heard "process" more than any other word. His fingerprints in the Royals' organization were brought into question when his first round picks hadn't panned out. And nobody would have ever predicted that Moore would be given eight years and Ned Yost would keep a job for four of them, but you can't argue with where they are, on the verge of an AL Pennant.

Lawrence voters can vote Nov. 4 to approve a new police station. They can also vote to approve a 0.2 percent sales tax increase to fund the new station, which will cost $25.7 million.
Proposed sales tax could fund new police station
KELSIE JENNINGS
@Kelcjen
Students and residents of Lawrence could help fund a new police station every time they go out and spend money, starting next April.
A sales tax increase of 0.2 percent to raise money for constructing and equipping the new facility has been approved by the Chamber of Commerce. All that's needed now is voters' approval, which will be decided at the Nov. 4 general election.
The cost of the new facility is $25.7 million, according to the city's website, but $24.2 million could be raised by sales taxes. If voters approve the tax increase, 0.2 percent of the cost of their purchases will go toward the new building. Sgt. Trent McKinley of the Lawrence Police Department puts this in perspective by saying it's the same ratio as two cents is to $10.
The funding by taxes will expire after nine years, unless the $24.2 million is raised before then, McKinley said. So,
the more money people spend in Lawrence, the faster it will be paid off.
"it's something that I think that the sales tax, in this particular case, is the fairest way to pay for the building."
MIKE AMYX
Lawrence mayor
"If we have really good sales
tax returns, lots of people are spending money in Lawrence and it gets paid off in seven and a half years, then that's when the tax would stop," he said.
McKinley said the main reason behind building a new police facility is to consolidate all of their officers and services. Right now, there are six police buildings around town, and having the department in one location would make for more efficient service. The new facility's size is planned to be 63,000 square feet, while the separate facilities now have a
combined square footage of 37,489, according to the city's website.
McKinley works in the west facility on Bob Billings and Wakarusa, but the actual law enforcement building is downtown. He said he doesn't ever see patrol officers because of how the department is geographically split up.
"We, in administration or detectives, don't have the interactions with the men and women that are on the street, that are taking calls and gathering information,"
McKinley said. "So there's a lot of missed opportunities to share information and solve crimes if you're not together and you're not interacting."
McKinley said having locations all over the place has also been confusing for residents because they're not sure where to go and often end up at the wrong building and must be redirected to the right one. If there is one facility, then residents will know where to go and it will save time for

Hearings set for men arrested in alleged Hashinger rape cases
Preliminary hearings for William Noah McCoy, a University student, and John Harris Jossie, a student at Johnson County Community College, who were charged with alleged rape Thursday afternoon, have been pushed to Nov. 4 at 2 p.m., so evidence may be collected for both cases.
Hearings for motions made by both court-appointed lawyers of the accused were set for Oct. 21 at 11 a.m. The lawyers also requested bond modifications but were denied, so bond remains at $50,000 cash or surety.
Anguiano said the PSO began its investigation Oct. 3 after the two women made reports. He also said while the alleged rapes occurred the same morning as the alleged Kappa Sigma fraternity sexual assault incidents, the two are not related.
McCoy, from Olathe, and Jossie, from Lawrence, both 21 years old, were arrested Oct. 7 on suspicion of raping two women in Hashinger Residence Hall, according to Capt. James Anguiano of the KU Public Safety Office. The alleged rapes occurred between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. on Sept. 28.
The PSO reviewed the Hashinger Residence Hall incidents because they happened on campus, but Lawrence Police are investigating the claims against Kappa Sigma, which is located off campus at 1045 Emery Rd.
Anguiano said the office handed over reports to the Douglas County District Attorney, who will carry out the case.

Campus reacts positively to gay marriage ruling
JAMES LAMB
@theiameslamb
Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court opened the door for the legalization of same-sex marriage in Kansas, a choice that has been celebrated by parts of the KU community.
Riley County residents Darcie Bonhenblust and her partner, Joleen Hickman submitted a same-sex marriage application Oct. 9. They were told there was a three-day waiting period but they received an order from Judge Meryl Wilson on Oct. 10 stating their application had been denied.
A Shawnee County District Court spokeswoman announced Oct. 9 that same-sex couples are able to apply for wedding licenses in Shawnee County. However, these licenses will not be issued until a higher Kansas court rules that same-sex marriages are permitted in the state.

WABAUNSEE DOUGLAS JOHNSON
Douglas County Court has been turning same-sex marriage licenses down due to an administrative order from Chief Judge of the Douglas County Court Robert Fairchild saying 'The Clerk of the District Court shall not issue a marriage license to these applicants or to any other applicants of the same sex'.
Chief District Judge Kevin Moriarty of Johnson County issued an order Oct. 8 allowing same-sex marriage licenses to be issued to same-sex couples. Johnson County is the only Kansas county doing so.
["The reaction] has been very positive,very surprised," said Mitchell Cota, president of Spectrum KU,a student association dedicated to celebrating gender and sexuality diversity.
"People are not taking it as real. Some people still can't believe that this happened in Kansas so quickly," Cota said.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS WITHIN NORTHEAST KANSAS COUNTIES
The Supreme Court declined to hear appeals against decisions from states in three Circuit Courts that found bans against same-sex marriage to be unconstitutional. This may allow for marriage equality in all the states governed by these Circuit Courts, one of which Kansas belongs to.
COLE ANNEBERG
As an associate professor of women, gender and sexuality studies, Katie Batza has been able to see the student community's reaction to the decision and the surprise it has brought to her students who are invested in the issue.
"I've seen a lot of my students who are actually really excited about it. They seem really pumped about it. My sense of my students' response is that everybody's kind of shocked, but pleasantly so." Bataz said. "We knew it was coming, it was just a matter of time to get here to Kansas. [Students are surprised that] we're ranked in the twenties in terms of the number of states that got gay marriage, rather than the late forties."
"A big issue is poverty in the queer community," Cofa said. "A lot of LGBTQ students, and people in general, get kicked out of their houses, they get their financial sources cut off,

Basically they're trying to drag their feet as long as humanly possible," Batza said. "Kansas lawmakers are trying to get the Supreme Court to specifically make a decision on it, specifically for Kansas, even though Kansas clearly falls within one of these Circuit Court rulings."

Senate begins work on off-campus lighting initiative with the 'rape lot'
LOT 120
APPLICATION
REQUIRED
RESTRICTED 29/7
MIRANDA DAVIS
@MirandaDavisUDK
This parking lot at 12th and Louisiana streets, commonly referred to as the "rape lot," is the first on the list of several places Student Senate is working to improve lighting at.
Student Senate began working on developing an off-campus lighting project which, if successful, would give better light to an area along Louisiana street where many students live and walk every day.
The area, between 11th and 13th streets on Louisiana Street, is a path between the GSP and Corbin residence hall complex and the scholarship halls. One particular area of concern is the Alumni Place lot at 12th and Louisiana streets. It is a gravel parking lot often referred to by area students as the "rape lot."
"It's referred to as the rape lot' which is obviously not a great name, and I actually found out through conversations with various students that it's been called that for years," student body Vice President Miranda Warner said.
MIRANDA DAVIS/KANSAN
"In recent history we haven't had any incidents reported there," Anguiano said.
Capt. James Anguiano of the Office of Public Safety said the name has been around for a long time, and there used to be another lot also referred to as the rape lot, but Public Safety didn't have record of
in recent history we have had any incidents reported there," Anguiano said. The lot came to the attention of Wagner when she was a scholarship hall resident during her first two years at the University. She said it's common knowledge that most of the female scholarship hall residents are afraid of that parking lot, so she's excited to be able to do something about it.
"It it seems kind of ridiculous that nothing's been done, but that's what we're here for," Wagner said.
Wagner said the Senate has identified a few of the current problems including the number, brightness and height of lights. She also said using student dollars would be unlikely and a last resort.
Everything outside of that one parking lot, however, is city land. So, if any lights were installed in the area, it would have to be by the City of Lawrence, not the University. Members of the Senate are meeting with the City next week.
Mark Thiel, assistant public
works director for the city, said there are already the standard Westar lights in that area, and if there were a project, he believes it would be for additional lighting.
"We've been asking about lighting there before, but I think its a question of what type of lighting." Thiel said.
In 2011, the Student Safety Advisory Board, which oversees on-campus safety and includes both senators and members of different branches of University administration, partnered with the city to install lights along 14th Street from Louisiana to Vermont, in an
area frequented by students. The lights aren't standard city lights and are lower to the ground.
Wagner said this wouldn't be the only lighting project this year, but that it is a main problem area she wants to focus on first.

Sexual assault task force begins to review current campus policies with KU attorney
ROCHELLE VALVERDE
@Chelleval
Members of the sexual assault task force have begun their review of the University's sexual assault policies in order to formulate recommendations for revision.
They met with a University attorney to discuss legal aspects pertaining to the sexual assault policies. The discussion was part of the second meeting of the task force last Friday. That portion of the meeting was closed to the public, but the meeting agenda indicated that the attorney, Rachel Rolf, would clarify University jurisdiction and discuss sanctions for on-and off-campus crimes.
Before they can make recommendations to improve the policies, they need to have a thorough understanding of them said Alesha Doan, co-chair of the task force.
"Right now we are simply gathering information; we need all of the relevant pieces," Doan said. "We must have
The discussion between Rolf and the task force accounted for over an hour of the two-hour meeting. Rolf said the discussion was confidential under attorney-client privilege and asked anyone who is not a member of the task force to leave for that portion.
a grasp of what the policy is before we can improve it."
Rolf said she would answer legal questions from task force members regarding the KU Policy and the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities. The members will discuss the information provided by Rolf at the next task force meeting.
Doan said the task force and Rolf also looked for potential conflicts between how sexual assault is addressed by the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities, which is reviewed by Student Senate, and University administrative policy. The task force is evaluating the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities and will make recommendations for how it can be revised and improved.
As part of the process, task

"We must have a grasp of what the policy is before we can improve it."
ALESHA DOAN Co-chair of the sexual assault task force
"What are the best practices that we see elsewhere?" Doan said. "Is that a model or something we could use here?"
The four goals to be addressed are KU Policy, Student Policy, Survivor Support, and Research and Prevention.
The task force will submit their recommendations to Chancellor Bernadette
Gray-Little and Jeffrey Vitter, provost and executive vice chancellor, on April 20.
Gray-Little announced the creation of the task force in an emailed message on Sept. 11 as one of several steps to help the University develop more effective solutions for preventing and responding to sexual assault. The University's handling of sexual assault has outraged some students and drawn national scrutiny. Student groups, such as the September Siblings, have demanded the University reform its response to sexual assault.
The task force now has an official email address, taskforce@ku.edu, for the public to send questions and suggestions regarding how the University should address sexual assault. They are also in the process of creating a website, SATaskForce.ku.edu, that would post an update after each meeting and include a space for members of the public to comment. The website will be done by the end of this week.

everybody.
The new facility would be near 2nd Street and McDonald Drive, just south of the 1-70/Kansas Turnpike, or about nine blocks north of Memorial Stadium. McKinley said the location for the new facility is in a centralized spot so police officers can get to places quickly.
Mayor Mike Amyx also said the city wants a new facility where all the police officers and personnel work from one location. He said they want this facility to be affordable and to be in the best location possible for accessing all of Lawrence.
McKinley said most students they serve on a daily basis are students who live in off-campus facilities. The University has its own police, the KU Public Safety Office, for on-campus crimes. McKinley said even though Lawrence police and the Public Safety Office have separate areas of jurisdiction, they work together when it's needed, like with investigations.
"If there was ever a major incident on campus, the Lawrence Police Department would have a very large response to that. We could even be first to respond to that in some cases," he said.
"It's been a goal of the governing body over a number of years to be able to get the entire police department under one roof,"
Amyx said.
The city has tried to get as much information as possible to the Lawrence public so they know what they're voting for and why. Amyx said residents and visitors spend money in Lawrence and both need and use the police department's services, so the sales tax seems like the best way to create financial support for the new facility and to enhance police services.
"It's something that I think that the sales tax, in this particular case, is the fairest way to pay for the building," he said.
McKinley said the last time there was a building built specifically for police was in the 1940s, and they tried to get approval for a building in the mid-1990s.
"We don't know what we would do if it [sales tax increase] doesn't pass, other than to continue trying to limp along as we've been doing for a number of years," he said.
If the sales tax increase is approved by voters, the collections for the facility will start April 1,2015, or sooner if the law allows it, according to the facility's page on the city's website.

School of Social Welfare grant to improve master's program
Edited by Alyssa Scott
ALLISON CRIST
@AllisonCristUDK
Eighty-five students pursuing a masters degree in social work through the advanced standing program will now be able to do so completely cost-free.
This program aims to prepare students for social work practice at clinical and macro levels.
Thanks to a $1.2 million grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration, the school of Social Welfare will be able to get rid of student loans for some, and improve the M.S.W. program across its different locations. The grant will be implemented for the 2015-2016 school year.
"By the rules of the grant, 75 percent of the money has to be for students," said Alice Lieberman, professor of social welfare and co-principal investigator for the grant. "The other 25 percent will be used for development of additional education modules through value added experiences, but also in trying to bring these students from different locations together."
Included in the program are the Lawrence campus, the Edwards Campus, Fort Hays State University campus.
and the Garden City College Campus. The program extends to Western Kansas because of the lack social workers, Lieberman said.
"We want to concentrate the education where it's most needed," Lieberman said. "People who go to school in Western Kansas tend to stay, so we hope that our program will help the underserved area."
"This money that's been awarded to the program will offer a great amount of support to individuals that might not be able to pursue a higher education."
KENDAL CARWELL
Western Kansas M.S.W.
program coordinator
Kendal Carswell is the Western Kansas M.S.W. program coordinator. His main job is maintaining fidelity between the Lawrence and Edwards campuses with the Western Kansas program.
"This money that's been awarded to the program will offer a great amount of support to individuals that might not be able to pursue a higher education," Carswell said.
"Also, our program will be able to better provide the services we already offer."
One of these services is combining interpersonal education with interprofessional experience. Social work students will be able to work with employees from other disciplines, like psychiatry, nursing, physical therapy and more — though the program will specifically collaborate with the KU Medical Center.
For students like Chloe Ireland, a senior from Lenexa, and student at the Lawrence campus, a program with opportunities like these are hard to pass up. However, she knows how expensive it can be.
for the advanced placement program for the Masters of Social Work, it is a one-year summer, fall, spring, year and it costs around $15,000. Being a social worker, you know that you aren't going to make a decent amount of money, so the thought of adding that to loans is extremely daunting," Ireland said. "The program receiving the grant, that will enable it to help fund students for the program, will make it possible for more students to get their degree."
Ireland chose social work for the same reason fellow social
work student Haley Koralek did, to help people.
"Everyone needs to reach social justice. I can't stand to watch people not reach their full potential because of some of the decisions they've made in their lives. They don't deserve it and their kids don't deserve it. I want to help people better themselves," Koralek said.
Koralek is a student at Fort Hays State University participating in the Western Kansas program. Her hometown, Ellsworth, is just an hour away, which is a big part of her decision on attending Fort Hays.
"I'm glad I can get the same experience as someone who would study social work at a much bigger school like KU, without having to move away from my family," Koralek said.
Koralek's stance is exactly what Carswell aims for, as he said the distance program is precisely like the KU program, just off-site.

Facilities Services sees rise in campus pest reports

In September, 61 pest control reports were filed, as opposed to 60 in July and August combined.
FS said during the fall, the pests try to enter the buildings to escape the cold. They said the University's
On-campus pest control, a service managed by Facilities Services (FS), is on the rise during the fall, according to information provided by FS.
pest problem is average for having this amount of buildings.
The University also said the buildings that tend to have the most problems are older with active steam tunnels.
In regards to which pests are most prevalent on campus, FS said there may not be one particular pest that is worse than the rest, but American roaches do get the most attention.
To handle these issues, FS has a contract with Midwest Exterminators, a local company. Michele Boone, a general technician from Midwest Exterminators, works with the University to manage its pest problem.
Boone is on campus a couple of days each week, in addition to being on-call whenever an issue arises in a specific office or classroom. She said each academic building is swept once every two weeks for pests.
In order for her to go to a building to deal with an issue, a student or staff member must fill out a request through FS, Boone said.
This initiative is called Integrated Pest Management, and it has been in effect for about 10 years, FS said.
When dealing with a pest problem, however, Boone and FS are somewhat limited in how they can
handle it. Boone said there is a University-wide environmental initiative which asks her to avoid using harmful chemicals as much as possible.
Vince Avila, deputy director of FS, said the initiative is about protecting staff and students from harmful chemicals. When strong chemicals are used on pests, it's also harmful for any bystanders who breathe in the chemicals.
Avila said the chemicals
discovered, according to FS.
If there is a pest problem on campus, in housing facilities or academic buildings, it can be reported by going to Facilities Services' website http://facilities.ku.edu/service_request.shtml.

currently used by Midwest Exterminators and FS are weaker so they don't harm humans, which also means they're weaker on the pests.
While these methods are much safer for staff, students and the environment, problems take much longer to solve once they are

If there's somethin' strange in your neighborhood ... who ya gonna call? This is usually followed up with shouts of "Ghostbusters," but in reality, if something strange happens in your neighborhood, you are most likely going to call the police.
I recently had my phone stolen and accompanied an officer to a set of apartments to retrieve it. While in the car, I asked him questions about his job, and he told me how incredibly difficult it is to have a job where no one is happy to see you.
Common culture today is to despise police officers when they are writing a speeding ticket
or interrupting a party, but to still count on them to provide safety and assistance in the worst situations.
The officer pointed out that no matter how much people seem to hate law enforcement, they always reach out in times of need. To further prove this point, I asked him who drug dealers or other criminals call when they have been shot, to which he replied with the obvious answer: the police.

@jenlikeswhales
It can be hard to remember how much good police officers do when police abuse stories frequently flood the headlines. "Thank A Police Officer Day" took place Sept.15,but was met with wildly negative
reactions and pictures of police wrongdoing on social media sites. People tend to forget, however, that these tragic events should not describe the majority of policemen and women who risk their lives protecting our cities.
If you missed "Thank a Police Officer Day, registered voters can redeem themselves by voting "yes" on a new police facility for the Lawrence Police Department. This
would impose a 0.2 percent sales tax on Lawrence residents, with a maximum amount of $24.2 million for a period of nine years. FriendsoflawrencePolice.com outlines some of the benefits of having a new facility as "solving more crime due to increased information sharing between patrol and investigations, room for additional personnel required for increased investigation of crimes, and quicker access to and response with life-saving equipment."
Whether it is through your vote or through a shift in attitude, the police deserve respect and appreciation for their difficult occupation. I left that day not only with a
retrieved phone, but with a new understanding of how frustrating being a police officer can be. Facing danger is a job requirement for these men and women, but disdain and negative judgment come from those they work hard to protect. So although you may have missed the official day to show gratitude, this upcoming election is a wonderful time to show your appreciation for our men and women in blue.

October is the time to get to know your pharmacists
O october is a busy time at the pharmacy
for both the staff and its patients. Not only is it the start of cold and flu season,but it's also American Pharmacist Month.The theme for this year is "Know Your Pharmacists, Know Your Medicine." Its purpose is to recognize the role pharmacists play in the healthcare field.
Pharmacists are the most accessible healthcare providers. According to the 2014 Merrit Hawkins analysis,
it takes an average of 18.5 days to wait to see a physician. However, it takes only minutes to talk to a pharmacist. When it comes to providing information on medication, pharmacists are among the best trained. We must remember pharmacists are experts at reducing adverse drug interactions to improve patient safety and compliance.
The role of a pharmacist ranges far beyond standing behind the counter. They can administer

@sahahahahaha
vaccinations for the flu, pneumonia, shingles and tetanus. They can recommend appropriate over-the-counter medication, counsel you on your medication, and help monitor chronic diseases by recognizing vital signs. Pharmacists want to interact with
patients, and the role of the pharmacist keeps expanding.
Student pharmacists are a great resource on campus; take advantage of the flu clinic, which allows student pharmacists to practice administering flu shots. There are health clinics throughout the year as well where you can throw away old medication and talk about current medication with pharmacy students.
October is the time to get vaccinated, stock up your cabinets with
over-the-counter cold and cough medication, and show some love and appreciation to your pharmacist. As always, your pharmacist is available all year to answer your health related questions and concerns.

Photographer shows stories behind scars
DALTON KINGERY
@daltonkingnews
John Adair, a Lawrence artist and photographer, has begun work on a photo series called "Scars," a project that uses photographs of people and their scars as a window into their lives and pasts.
Aidair, a former University student who returned to Lawrence in March, came up with the idea as a way to tell people's stories and encourage people to look past their physical imperfections. The latter was inspired in part by media portrayals of what it looks like to be beautiful.
"I've always had an appreciation for the imperfections that come with being a human being," Adair said. "The idea behind the project is that you should embrace your imperfections. Skin doesn't have to be flawless and smooth to be beautiful."
Since he began experimenting with a camera he found in
his father's belongings when he was younger, Adair has harbored a passion for photography that has grown in recent years, with "Scars" being his latest project.
Adair said he believes the combination of photographs of his subjects and their written stories make the project more impactful than either component could by itself.
"I've always had an appreciation for the imperfections that come with being a human being."
"Stories are important," Adair said. "And every picture tells a story. Regardless of how big or small the scar is, the story behind it is what pulls people in."
JOHN ADAIR Photographer
In keeping with the spirit of the project, Adair does minimal editing to each photograph in the series. Apart from changing the photograph's colors to black and white and slightly increasing the contrasts, Adair makes no alterations to the photos.
Kyra Roesle, a third year University student from Shawnee and close friend of Adair, has been photographed for the project and likes how the project gives new perspectives on the people featured.

"There's always more to people than what you see," said Roesle, whose knuckles on one hand show the scars of a hit-and-run she survived while riding her bike on Massachusetts Street. "You're peeling away the layers of people's lives."

Duo to premiere screening of new film Thursday
RYAN MILLER
Filmmakers Jesse McGinness and William Friederich are holding a test screening of their film, "God, grant me" at Liberty Hall on Thursday. The film tells the coming-of-age stories of two troubled individuals.
@Ryanmiller_UDK
Nearly two years ago, Jesse McGinness and University student William Friederich sat down at Henry's Coffee Shop in downtown Lawrence and began writing the script for a film called "God, grant me." This Thursday, the film will hold its first test screening at Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts St., at 7 p.m.
Friederich said the movie is about how two troubled individuals meet and grow from each other's weaknesses.
After the two initially met at Henry's Coffee Shop through a mutual friend, they quickly be-
With the premiere this week, the duo is nervous and excited to share their work with the community.

the script, and from there the project kicked off. They were able to fund the project after around 60 donors, including Henry's, backed the film on Kickstarter, providing the necessary $4,500.
"We hope we're sort of a lesson to filmmakers, all you need to do is stand up and do it," McGinness said. "You don't need a lot of resources. With tools like Kickstarter, and online education, I haven't stepped foot into a film class, and we've finished a feature length film."
McGinnness said they wanted to challenge the traditional ways of making a narrative and they really wanted to add nuance to it. Friederich said although the film is aimed at sharing their message with all generations, it was heavily influenced by their generation.
They said it has been about 21 months in the works, with most of the work going toward

Friederich said what kept them going during those long nights was the inspiration to share the film with the community.
"It was sort of, 'well we've done too much now to quit;'" he said.
McGinness said they would be happy if they could achieve a theater run, but if they at least achieve success in Lawrence, they would be satisfied.
At the screening this week, the two are welcoming feedback to help further improve their film. Friederich said they're going to have feedback cards and they will host a short session afterwards to discuss the film.
"We're really hoping to progress ourselves as filmmakers and the more people we can show it too,the more feedback we can get and the more we can grow from it," Friederich said.
The duo said they drew a lot of inspiration from Lawrence and appreciate the generous support they have received with the project.
"We're just really ready and happy to share it with people," McGinniss said. "This is the thing you've [the community] helped us with emotionally, financially and physically"
Along with the initial screening at Liberty Hall, the two hope the film will be a
part of the 25 various film festivals around the country they will be submitting to, like Sundance and South by Southwest. The funds from the Lawrence screening will help pay for the entry fees.
Friedierich said by participating in film festivals, he and McGinness can spread the sense of community Lawrence has on a larger scale.
"I'm super excited to share about Lawrence — how great it is, this whole atmosphere of togetherness and how we're all here to support one another," Friederich said.

Club offers calm forum for philosophical talks
DYLAN GUTHRIE
@dylanco.in 795
@dylangelo785
Outside of the classroom, it is often hard to find an avenue to engage in discussion over relevant issues, but at KU Philosophy Club's weekly meetings, University students have a chance to do just that.
Jeff Carmody, a senior from Lawrence majoring in philosophy and linguistics, became president of the club this semester and said he embraces the opportunity to discuss serious issues in a relaxed and social atmosphere.
"You have classes with people, and that's fine," Carmody said. "You get an idea of what they're like, but it's nice to have more of a social setting with them, where you can talk freely, bounce ideas off them, and go wherever you want in the conversation."
+
The Tuesday before Fall Break, John Symons, Chair of the Philosophy Department, held a lecture on transhumanism and
posthumanism in The Commons as part of the Humanities Lecture Series, and the following day, he came in to discuss that same topic at the club's weekly meeting.
Symons said students are sure to see a benefit in their grades, but that is just an offshoot of something even greater that they get from coming to the club's meetings.
"More importantly, it's the pleasure of discussion of ideas with other smart people." Symons said. "They can develop an appreciation for people who are talking about ideas that are intellectually alive."
The club reserves a room in the Union on either Wednesday or Friday evenings for an hour
"... it's nice to have more of a social setting with [classmates], where you can talk freely, bounce ideas off them, and go wherever you want in the conversation."
of discussion.
Starting four years ago, members have periodically held Friday meetings at Henry's Coffee Shop downtown, and plan to continue that tradition this semester. As the evening progresses, members who are old enough take the discussion upstairs and have a drink at Henry's Upstairs.
JEFF CARMODY Philosophy club president
that the club should be open to everyone, not just philosophy majors.
"Drinking is always a great lubricant for philosophical discussion," Carmody said.
Discussion is centered on
Carmody said there is often a huge professional barrier between students and faculty in class.
"When you're in a class with really brilliant professors, you learn a lot, but you don't get to just talk to them on a face-toface or informal level," Carmody said.
In Fall 2010, the Philosophy Club was in a period of relative dormancy, but University alumnus J.T. Hammons became president and reactivated the club. He laid the groundwork for what it is today, paving the way for people like Carmody to continue the tradition of a club that combines a relaxed social setting and stimulating discourse. Hammons said one thing he always emphasized was
ideas that are not necessarily taught in the classroom, such as Eastern philosophy and Continental philosophy, even though Carmody stressed that engagement with the philosophy department is incredibly important.
"My goal was to get the practice of philosophy to extend outside of the hundred or so people who were majoring in philosophy at KU," Hammons said. "It was the infusion of philosophy and just having a social club."
Carmody said the club is more about having a dialogue with people who are interested in the life of the mind or just intellectual pursuits in general. The club is not limited to philosophy majors, and in fact, about half of the members have majors outside the field of philosophy.
He said he is looking forward to bringing other faculty members in for the club's weekly meetings and is excited to continue contributing to the state of intellectual discourse on campus.
"I couldn't imagine doing anything else," Carmody said.

@KelcJen
One University student is putting a positive spin on getting caught drinking underage. She's decided to make extra money by offering sober rides to other students.
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
Kaitlyn Gefroh, a sophomore from Fargo, N.D., said she decided to start giving sober rides after she got a minor in possession of alcohol charge. Since she is on diversion and has to stay out of trouble for the next year, she's turned her experience into something positive by working on the other side of drinking.
"Well, I can't go out and drink anymore, and I need money to pay for the diversion, so I'll just give rides to people that can go out and drink," she said.
Gefroh also works at the Student Fitness Recreation Center teaching fitness classes, but she hopes to make extra cash with the designated driver gig.
Kaitlyn Gefroh, a sophomore from Fargo, N.D., posted fliers in Wescoe Hall advertising rides for drunk students at a cost of $5 per passenger. Gefroh started the job to help pay off her diversion costs after she got an MIP.
For $5 per passenger, she will drive students in need of a ride home anywhere in Lawrence. She doesn't use a GPS since she knows her way around Lawrence pretty well, and plans to rely on directions from the impaired passengers.
She got the designated driver idea from an app called Lyft, which people can download to connect them with drivers in their area. Drivers must apply for the position and pass a background check to be able to use the app service, but Gefroh said she isn't old enough to qualify, so she has gone off on her own and has marketed herself through fliers on campus.
"Well, I can't go out and drink anymore, and I need money to pay for the diversion, so I'll just give rides to people that can go out and drink."
"I'm only 19, but I can drive," she said.

Gefroh tossed the idea around with her boyfriend, Tyler Gonser, who is supportive of it and agreed to help her out if she needs it.
"She's really a responsible person," said Gonser, a junior
Even though she'll give rides to both males and females, Gefroh will play it safe and said she plans to take her boyfriend along if the passengers are all males, which her boyfriend thinks is a good idea.
from Tonganoxie. "I really don't have to worry about her when she's driving around, just helping people out."
the fliers, the tear-off tabs with her number were gone, so it seems promising that she'll be getting calls in the future.
"Even just a male presence will deter a lot of stuff," he said.
She drives a Chevy Malibu, so she's limited to four passengers, but at $5 a passenger, the cash could add up quickly if business picks up.
Gefroh just put up the fliers in Wescoe Hall a few weeks ago, so she hasn't had much business yet, but she has gotten a of couple calls, and her service has gone well so far. The last time she checked
Gefroh said she's not sure how long she'll keep up her service, but she'll keep doing it until she gets tired of it. She said she doesn't have plans to expand her service or market beyond putting posters up around campus.

Kansas City Royals have come a long way in a month
One month ago a pretty valiant war cry from Kansas City rang out from fans as the boys
in blue battled for first place against the Detroit Tigers. Everyone was getting excited that, for the first time in 29 years,the Royals were going to the playoffs.
Now, the Kansas City Royals are one game away from making the World Series.
"Just be happy to be there" had to be the mentality of most analysts across the baseball world. After Oakland took a 7-3 lead during the Wild Card playoff game, that's also what a majority of fans were saying. Twitter was littered with comments like, "it's over," "Yost just lost that one!" and "Good season. No Blue October."
That's when the magic happened. Slowly, they climbed back into the game. Run after run they tied up the game pushing it into extra innings. Finally, in the bottom of the 12th inning an ice-cold Salvador Perez snuck a ball past Oakland's third baseman and the
When they clinched a playoff berth Sept. 26 against the White Sox, the champagne flowed like the fountains Kansas City is famous for. For the first time in nearly three decades, the Royals were going to the playoffs. So why not celebrate like they just won the whole thing?
Rovals snuck by the A's.

@AWagoner23
The rest is history. A clean sweep of the Angels was a thing of beauty. The Royals looked possessed as they dismantled a powerful team that donned the best record in the regular season.
After a weekend in Baltimore, the Royals have returned home with home a 3-0 lead in the American
League Championship Series, one game away from a World Series return 29 years in the making.
The boys in blue are playing with a confidence that is unbelievable. The Royals are playing the kind of baseball a fan gets to see once in a lifetime.
THE BREW
The kind of baseball stories are written about and movies are made about. Jarrod Dyson
said the series wouldn't return to Baltimore. Baltimore might be putting that up on the bulletin boards as motivation. I would say that if it's taking the Royals' fourth outfielder to motivate them, rather than the 0-3 deficit, the Orioles won't last much longer.

Kansas swimming and diving dominates at Freestyle Festival

@Amie_Just
The Kansas swimming and diving team opened up the regular season on the road against the University of Nebraska-Omaha at the Freestyle Festival. The meet solely consisted of freestyle individual events, diving events and two relays.
["UNO head coach Todd Samland] proposed the idea of a freestyle festival, so all of our individual events will be freestyle events," Kansas coach Clark Campbell said. "We'll have the 50, 100, 200 and 500 as individual events. Then we will do the diving events, followed by the 200 and 400 medley relay."
Also different for this meet is that individual athletes can only score in one event.
"This will give a number of athletes the opportunity to swim freestyle events that they might not normally get to do," Campbell said. "It's a fun way to open the year and it's something we've never done before."
Kansas defeated UNO 99-41

Junior Haley Molden won the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 1.52.10.
Sophomore Graylyn Jones won the one-meter dive event with a score of 237.44.

200-yard medley relay with a time of 1:45.87. The same team won the 400-medley relay at 3:53.82.

Royals move to 3-0 lead against Orioles
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Royals have embraced the bloop, bunt and sacrifice fly all postseason.
Kansas City will send Jason Vargas to the mound for Game 4 on Wednesday, trying to advance to its first World Series since 1985. Miguel Gonzalez will try to help the Orioles stave off elimination.
Add in more sparkling defense and that dominant bullpen, and the wild-card Royals are suddenly one win from the World Series.
Third baseman Mike Moustakas made two marvelous plays as the picture-perfect Royals won their 10th straight postseason game, including all seven this year. Making its first playoff appearance in 29 years, the only thing that's slowed Kansas City so far was a rainout Monday.
Billy Butler drove in the go-ahead run with a sacrifice fly in the sixth inning, and the Royals' steel-curtain bullpen shut down the Baltimore Orioles the rest of the way for a 2-1 win Tuesday night and a commanding 3-0 lead in the AL Championship Series.
The Royals' Jeremy Guthrie and Orioles' Wei-Yin Chen hooked up
in a tense pitching duel for five innings.
Chen gave up a leadoff single to Nori Aoki in the sixth. Eric Hosmer followed with a one-out single to put runners on the corners, and Orioles manager Buck Showalter brought in hard-throwing reliever Kevin Gausman to face Butler.
The Royals' designated hitter sent a fly ball to left field for the tiebreaking run — just the latest example of Kansas City doing the little things right.
After winning pitcher Jason Frasor breezed through the sixth, Kelvin Herrera and Wade Davis nailed down the next two innings. All-Star closer Greg Holland worked a perfect ninth for his third save of the series, setting off a wild celebration in the stands.
One of the best bullpens in baseball took care of the rest
One of the best Dumpins in baseball took care of the rest — the relievers combined with Guthrie to retire Baltimore's final 16 batters.
It was the 13th game to be decided by one run this postseason, matching the record set in 2011 and tied last year. Six games have gone to extra innings, including the Giants' 5-4, 10-inning victory over the Cardinals hours earlier in the NLCS.

COMMENTARY
Ellis, Gardner need to stand tall this season
By Ben Felderstein
@Ben Felderstein
Night in the PhoG is one of Kansas basketball's most exciting
kebalas most exciting events. Like many before it, Friday night's 30th installation of Late Night included a men's and a women's scrimage. The scrimimages aren't carbon copies of what to expect during the regular season, but they can be a good preview into individual player's performances. Friday night, the focus was on two players in particular
— junior forward Perry Ellis and senior forward Chelsea Gardner.
Ellis and Gardner were the only Kansas players named to the preseason All-Big 12 team. They have similar roles on their respective teams this year as well. Ellis and Gardner are two of the older and more experienced players on their rosters this season. The men's side, in particular, has a very young team. With only one senior on the team, Ellis will be propelled into a leadership role as a junior. Gardner is one of four seniors on the team, so she will have more of a natural leadership role.
"Perry is never going to be a vocal leader," men's basketball coach Bill Self said. "But on the court, he's our guy."
It was clear right off the opening tip that Ellis will be the focal point in offense for the upcoming season. When teammate Cliff Alexander won the tip, Ellis caught the ball and immediately took it to the rim. Ellis missed, but his intentions were clear.
He ranked 16th in the conference and second on the team, scoring 13.5 points per game last season. He also ranked second in rebounds with 6.7 per game.
Ellis struggled converting, going 2-for-6 from the floor, but he will be more involved during the season.
In the women's scrimmage, the box score was a little more expected. Gardner led her team in scoring, with 10 points.
The senior comes into this season with impressive credentials. She averaged 17.1 points and 8.4 rebounds last season, which each ranked as fourth-best in the Big 12.
During the scrimmage, she went 5-for-8 from the field and pulled down five boards. She received most of the attention down low and was the most talented scorer on the floor.
Another player who is looking to assert himself more is sophomore guard Wayne Selden, who led all players in scoring.
In the post-scrimmage press conference, Selden was asked about his big scoring night, putting up 17.
"I felt good out there." Selden said. "But I wasn't on Perry's team. During the regular season, he's obviously going to be our go to guy."

BREAKING FROM THE PACK
Tony Pierson and his big-play potential are needed down the stretch for Kansas football
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
Senior wide receiver Tony Pierson hurdles a defender for the first down. Pierson ended the game with 10 carries and two receptions for a total of 54 yards.
SHANE JACKSON
@JacksonShane3
Big plays can change the momentum of the game. In college football, momentum is the often the difference between winning close games and losing them.
Both of his touchdowns mark the longest scoring plays
Senior Kansas receiver Tony Pierson has the ability to do just that. Fans have seen that already this year. In the season opener, sophomore quarterback Montell Cozart connected with Pierson for a 67-yard completion that turned out to be the deciding play of the game.
On the opening play from scrimmage against Central Michigan, Pierson took a handoff out of the backfield and sprinted 74 yards down the opposing sideline, untouched, for a score. It was the longest play of his Kansas career, and the Jayhawks wound up winning that game, 24-10.
from the Kansas offense this season.
"He's arguably the most explosive player we have on the field," interim coach Clint Bowen said. "He's one of those guys that has a chance at making a special play for us."
In the 41-3 loss against Duke, Pierson touched the ball twice. In the 24-0 loss against Texas in Charlie Weis's final game at Kansas, Pierson had four plays called for him.
But what has been the biggest threat to Pierson's big-play ability this year is Kansas offense itself.
Even Bowen struggled to get Pierson involved in his head-coaching debut against West Virginia, where he had three touches for a combined eight yards.
"He's one of our better players on the team, so having him get his touches is important," senior quarterback Michael Cummings said. "Having his big-play ability on the edge respected creates lanes up the
middle."
Bowen made more of a concerted effort to get his best offensive player involved in his second game as interim head coach. In the near upset against No. 16 Oklahoma State, Pierson had a season-high 12 touches. Though none of those touches resulted in scores, it was enough for the Cowboys to respect the Kansas offense.
"He's arguably the most explosive player we have on the field. He's one of those guys that has a chance at making a special play for us."
CLINT BOWEN Interim football coach
But perhaps the most intriguing thing about Pierson's performance was the fact that a majority of it came
as running back. He carried the ball 10 times Saturday and split backfield time all day with running backs DeAndre Mann and Corey Avery.
As Kansas prepares for a crucial matchup against Texas Tech, Bowen appears to have the same mindset — get Pierson the ball at all costs. Because of this, Pierson will once again see a lot of plays from the backfield.
"Putting him at tailback a little more guarantees that they can't keep us from turning around and handing it off to him," Bowen said.
Pierson is no stranger to running back. As a sophomore he was selected to All-Big 12 Honorable Mention after starting nine games at running back. He rushed for 760 yards on 117 carries and four touchdowns. He recorded three 100-yard performances on the ground.
"Running back is just like home to me," Pierson said. "At receiver you have to depend on quarterback and the
offensive line to get the ball; at running back it is much easier to just get handoffs."
Out of East St. Louis High School, he was ranked as the nation's No. 8 athlete according to Rivals.com. He rushed for more than 1,000 yards in each of his four years and scored a total of 76 touchdowns.
Under Weis, Pierson was used mostly as a receiver. Much of that was due to the lack of production from that position as well as having a guy like James Sims at running back.
"At that time, the philosophy was that he was more valuable on the outside." Bowen said. "I just saw it differently."
With Bowen calling the shots, Pierson's role has begun to change.
After outperforming the No. 16 Cowboys in terms of totals yards (379-274) Saturday, perhaps change is for the best.

Kansas volleyball looks to build on first Big 12 win against West Virginia

Outside hitter Tiana Dockery is congratulated after scoring a point against Texas on Oct. 14. Dockery had her best match of the season this week end in Kansas' victory against the Baylor Bears in Waco, Texas.
After notching its first conference win of the season last Saturday at Baylor, the Kansas volleyball team (13-5, 1-3) will look to continue its momentum as it takes on West Virginia (12-7, 2-3) in Morgantown, W.Va., on Wednesday evening.
The Jayhawks, currently ranked eighth in the conference, defeated the Baylor Bears in four sets over the weekend to climb their way out of the Big 12 cellar. Junior outside hitter Tiana Dockery led the way with a season-high 19 kills on a .255 hitting percentage. It was the third consecutive game with double-digit kill for the junior, who has begun to come on as of late.
BEN LIPOWITZ/KANSAN
"As we've found out, anybody in this league can beat anybody at any point in time, but it's the way that we did it with a really gutty effort in set three and then a big run to end set four that is really satisfying," coach Ray Bechard said after the match. "It's what we needed."
With one win in the bag, Kansas has a great opportunity to secure back-to-back victories on its trip to Morgantown. After beginning the season 10-1, the Mountaineers have fallen apart as their competition has stiffened. They've now dropped six of their last eight contests and were swept in the ACC-Big 12 Challenge earlier this season.
Anderson, a Big 12 All-Freshman team selection in 2013, is the centerpiece of the Mountaineers' offensive attack as she currently leads the league in. kills (4.85 per set) and points (5.34 per set).

Jordan Anderson and freshman setter Lamprini Konstantinidou.
For the Jayhawks, freshman setter Ainise Havili and senior outside hitter Sara McClinton will look to build on strong performances from last Saturday's match.
Havili, who was named the Big 12 Rookie of the Week for the week of Oct. 6, picked up her ninth double-double of the year (third in the Big 12) against the Bears. She's been crucial in setting up kill opportunities for Kansas' middle and outside hitters
McClinton, a 2013 Honorable Mention All-America selection, has been quiet for much of the season; she's not among the conference's top 10 in any major statistical category, and her .172 hitting percentage is well below her career average. But she had a stellar showing against Baylor, recording 16 kills while finishing with a .371 hitting percentage. Both are

If she can consistently manage this kind of attack efficiency, a resurgence from McClinton could be a major boost for this Kansas squad as it dives deeper into Big 12 play.

A tape measure dispenser cover from Ten Thousand Villages displays the "Fair Trade" mark. All items marked "Fair Trade" were handcrafted by artisans who were paid a fair wage for their work. Ten Thousand Villages is a found ing member of the World Fair Trade Organization and has been a Fair Trade retailer since 1946.
Local shops participate in Fair Trade Month
MAEGAN BULL
@Maegan Bull
Fair Trade Month is celebrated annually in October by people all over the world. It affects people of all ages, ethnicities and cultures, and has been celebrated locally in Lawrence shops such as Ten Thousand Villages, The Merc, Third Planet and many more.
Fair Trade USA, established in 1998, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting sustainable lifestyles for farmers and workers in and outside of the U.S. while protecting the environment. According to its website, the organization's focus is to "help people and the planet work in tandem so both are healthy and sustained. We provide farmers in developing nations the tools to thrive as international business people."
Students who are passionate about fair trade can get involved in the local fair trade nonprofit organization Ten Thousand Villages, where they
can volunteer their services while gaining community service hours.
"In the U.S., we have labor laws that protect certain workers from certain environments and abuse, whereas most countries don't have that," said Desmond Granger, a volunteer at Ten Thousand Villages. "So fair trade is an official certification. They have to meet certain guidelines and environmental sustainability guidelines in order to be considered fair trade."
Hazel Rogers, another volunteer at Ten Thousand Villages, said she loved being part of a group that had a similar belief in supporting fair trade and was as passionate about it as she is.
An item labeled as a fair trade good means it was produced and sold in an ethical manner. For the consumer, it is not only a way to receive unique or handcrafted goods, but it also allows consumers to support the farmers or artisans as
well. It helps diminish poverty among farmers in rural areas by helping them provide better lives for their families while doing what they love.
You're making an effort to know something about what it is that you're consuming, and that's progress in my mind..."
Courtney Crouch, a senior from Wichita, said she has been buying fair trade goods for more than five years and considers them the ideal items to buy because she knows they've been paid for fairly. She also said fair trade goods are hard to find, so she buys fair trade whenever she can.
According to befair.org, when purchasing fair trade goods, you say no to unethical working conditions and child labor, while saying yes to the empowerment of women, environmental sustainability, food safety and education.
If an item truly is a fair trade item, there will be a label on the packaging declaring it is fair trade.
According to Fair Trade USA, fair trade benefits more than 1.2 million farming
families in 70 developing countries across Africa, Asia and Latin America.
Chris Brown, director of environmental studies and professor at the University, said supporting fair trade does no harm because you're helping build a relationship between the consumer and the producer.
"You're making an effort to know something about what it is that you're consuming, and that's progress in my mind, but it shouldn't stop there," Brown said.

Police citations spike after end of Fall Break

The number of written citations issued by Lawrence Police Department has declined by more than 400 so far this month, according to the online Municipal Court LKPD citation map.
The police website logged 948 citations approximately four weeks ago for the second half of September, compared to the reported 516 citations issued so far from Sept. 30 to Oct. 14. However, since Tuesday, citations have already spiked to 737.
The citation list is regenerated daily, with hand-written citations logged within the week and electronic citations within several days, according to the map description on the site.

"If the Student Senate says it's okay, then that's really the governing body," Dechairo said last week. "If they say yes then I'll talk to my boss and if he says, 'it's a go, then we'll just do it."

Student Senate committees passed a resolution supporting Student Health Services changing its name to Watkins Health Services. Senate also passed a bill that would allow student athlete senators to count team-related activities as excused absences.
Dechairo said that once they have approval from full Student Senate, they can move forward with the project and implement the change.
Both the resolution and the bill passed through Rights and University Affairs committees and will be voted on next week in full senate.
Discussion about the Student Health Services resolution started after Douglas Dechairo, director and chief of staff of Student Health Services, spoke at full senate last week and explained the reasoning behind the change. He said many students don't understand that the term "Student" refers to those receiving the care, not those administering it.

Professor researches sickle cell cure
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO

Kenneth Peterson, a University professor, discovered chemical compounds that could lead to more effective ways to treat sickle cell disease.
ALEX KEENAN
@AlexAlexk91
Kenneth Peterson, a professor and vice chair of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University has discovered chemical compounds that could lead to new, more effective ways to treat sickle cell disease (SCD).
SCD is a genetic mutation that causes red blood cells to turn a sickle shape, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. People born with the disease are at high risk for several chronic health issues, such as infections or heart disease.
There are no wholly effective low-risk, low-cost ways to treat SCD as of now, but Peterson and his fellow researchers' work may be the first step to finding one. Peterson was able to sit down with the Kansan and answer some questions regarding his research, and what he hopes will come next.
KANSAN: What treatments are currently available?
PETERSON: There are a couple of old-fashioned ones, like giving iron supplements to overcome the anemia. There's blood-transfusion. The cutting-edge of technology is doing a bone marrow transplantation to replace the sickle cells with new stem cells that don't make sickle cell. Of course, that's hugely expensive and cost prohibitive. Hydroxyurea is the most common drug and the only FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved drug for treatment. It has mixed outcomes. It's really limited to use with pediatric patients. Adults don't respond to it really well, and over time the effectiveness of the drug appears to wane. There are some other compounds like butyric acid and things like that in clinical trial, but nothing that's really specific for treating sickle cell.
factors in treating sickle cell?
KANSAN: Is cost one of the major
PETERSON: Oh yeah. To have access to hydroxyurea treatment is not universal. Obviously blood transfusions have to be done at a medical clinic, so if you're in a third-world country where they don't have that medical care, it's not going to happen. The bone marrow transplant, as I said, is hugely expensive and comes with all sorts of risks, and has to be done in special facilities. What you really want is a good $2 or $3 pill that you can take that will reactivate fetal globin. A good specific drug to treat that would be great.
KANSAN: Your research is looking to create that drug?
PETERSON: That's exactly right.
It's to identify new compounds and ultimately, maybe, some already FDA approved drugs that can be immediately used for treatment. It would be like taking something for high blood pressure or cholesterol.
PETERSON: It's something you would have to take every day. It's a drug therapy, so it would be long-term. But, like any pill you take for the rest of your life, it's easy to get patients to be compliant. It's an easy treatment. I would think that it would be for the rest of your life.
KANSAN: Are the treatments going to be short-term or long-term?
steps in your research?
PETERSON: We screened 121,000 compounds. These compounds aren't ready as pharmacologics for humans. You have to add some side-chains that will allow these compounds to affect the transcription of the fetal gamma-globin genes. Some sort of medicinal chemistry will have to be done, so we'll have to collaborate with someone on the compounds we've isolated. There needs to be safety testing, dose determination. You need to look for side effects. We also have animal testing to go through, and then, and only after all of that, we would hope to move to clinical trials. If we can run our screen again against libraries of already approved
KANSAN: What are the next
drugs, then you can fast track that towards patient usefulness. So wed like to do that too.
KANSAN: What do you hope happens as a result of this research?
Edited by Jennifer Salva
PETERSON: I always hope to raise awareness. Not only would these drugs be useful for sickle cell, but they'd be useful for another mutation called Cooley's anemia, and for certain beta-thalassemias, thalassemias being mutations in the adult beta globin gene or deletions. If you come up with a good treatment for sickle cell disease, it certainly gives you the satisfaction of knowing you're helping a lot of patients out there.

America obligated to help Ebola outbreak
Many people are worried about the recent
Lisa Monaco, the Homeland Security and chief counterterrorism advisor for President Obama, said in a briefing of the government response to the Ebola epidemic held Oct. 3. "The United States has the most capable health care infrastructure and the best doctors in the world, bar none."
cases of Ebola within the United States. Few people in the United States will contract the disease, but America has the resources, specialists and containment strategies to stop it before it becomes a larger issue.
Our country has the ability to stop Ebola within its own boundaries, but this ability should be extended to help other countries as well.
According to the World Health Organization,
Liberia has had more than 2,000 people die from the outbreak so far. There are plenty of reasons why America should take an active role in preventing this outbreak, including the amount of deaths and how Ebola could become an international crisis if not confronted as soon as possible. The death toll is steadily rising, and although there are more volunteers on the ground than there were in August, there are not enough treatment centers to handle the outbreak.
The president has received some welldeserved flak for not doing enough to combat Ebola in other countries. In an address given from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention headquarters in Atlanta this September, the President promised 17 Ebola treatment centers to be established in West Africa, but these centers are nowhere to be seen.
By Gabe Sprague
@SpragueGabe
Currently, people in Liberia are being turned away from treatment centers, meaning America is not doing enough to help with this crisis despite how much our history is responsible for Liberia's current situation.
The United States' slavery and Liberia's history are inseparable, a fact which most Americans are not aware of. "America in Africa" by James Climent, also the author of "Another America: The Story of Liberia and the Former Slaves Who Ruled It," explains what has caused Liberia to be unable to combat Ebola effectively.
In 1816, after African Americans had been considered free in America,a group of politicians created the American Colonization Society. The ACS' mission was to send at least
200,000 "freed" black people back to Africa, even though most did not want to go. The ACS, however, succeeded and many former slaves were forced to settle in Liberia. Not only was there cultural disconnect between the settlers and natives, but disease also ravaged the population.
The United States received news of the horrible living conditions, but still, the ACS sent more people. Liberians pushed for independence from the ACS, but the ACS claimed Liberians were not capable of a self-sustaining government.
Eventually, Liberians were able to establish independence, once the ACS had weakened. However, it was only independence for the five percent of the population which had come from the United States, denying the other 95 percent self-rule. This caused a flawed democracy reminiscent of
the United States', which led to many political and social problems over the next 150 years.
Due to the meddling by the ACS so many years ago, Liberia has been struck with disparities such as civil war and increased poverty. These have led to Liberia's inability to combat Ebola in the most effective manner.
Liberia's president, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, asked Obama for aid in a letter dated Sept. 9. She said, "... at this rate, we will never break the transmission chain and the virus will overwhelm us." America's history is so intertwined with the history of Liberia that it is a necessity to provide more aid in stopping Ebola before it has overwhelmed Liberia.
Human sexuality courses provide deeper insight into own sexuality
Gabe Sprague is a junior from Concordia studying English
Most people can say they had learned about sex from their peers or parents, the media or a junior high sex education class. However, if you ask them what it means to be a sexual being or how to define sexuality, they probably wouldn't be able to give you a proper answer. The University of Kansas is fortunate enough to have a human sexuality department, which is growing day by day. For the first time ever, the University is offering human sexuality as a major starting Fall 2015.
Even if you think you know everything about sex, it is beneficial to take a course on human sexuality. I am currently enrolled in Human Sexuality in Everyday Life, Social Welfare 303,
By Madeline Umali
@madelineumali
and it is my favorite class. Everything I have learned in this course has been applicable to my life right now. Human sexuality courses offered at the University dive deeper into sexuality than what your parents may have taught you. Students are lectured less about sexually transmitted infections, pregnancy and how to put a condom on a banana, and more about gender identity, sexual awareness and sexual orientation. Students will learn how to decipher myths from truth regarding sex.
Students should strongly consider the human sexuality courses available because they apply directly to college students. You will learn about information that is relevant in everyday life while learning more about yourself and your sexuality.
So, if you need an hour to fill your schedule next semester, consider taking a human sexuality course. You will learn so much more than what you were taught in a junior high sex-ed class and benefit in the long run by taking one of the offered courses. Not only will you have a better understanding of your sexuality, but also the classes are entertaining and worthwhile.

been brought to me by some of my peers who are majoring in what most students deem as the "hard majors" on campus. They believe that because they are engineering, pharmacy or pre-med students, their GPAs should be weighted differently. Basically, they believe if a journalism major gets a 3.8 and an engineer gets a 2.5, the engineer should get a boost to a 3.0 due to the fact that those classes are "more difficult."
Engineering classes obviously are not easy, and if you took journalism or psychology majors and stuck them in an applied differential equations class they probably would not understand a word; however, this is a two-way street. If you stuck engineers in a graphic design or art history course, they would be just as lost as the journalist in the applied differential equations class.
Another thing that irked me about differently weighted GPAs is that what you major in is entirely

Bottom line, no one's major is better or requires more brainpower than the other. Each major just utilizes different parts of the brain, and each individual has better understandings of some concepts over others. The GPA system should not be based off what you are studying, but rather how much and how well you study.

Russian comedy 'Tovarich' comes to stage
MINSEON KIM
@minseonkim94
"Tovarich" will be playing at Crafton-Preyler Theatre from Oct. 17 to Oct. 26. The farce comedy is about Tatiana, a Russian grand duchess, and Prince Mikail living in Paris as a housemaid and a butler. John Staniunas, the director of "Tovarich" and a professor at the KU Department of Theatre, said it was one of the most famous plays in the world for more than 20 years. It even became a movie in 1937, but due to changes in theater trends, it lost its popularity.
He said he believes it is time to, bring this part farce, tragic love story to University Theatre.
"To come back to a classic like this, I think it's really important to our students"; Staniunas said.
In addition to its well-constructed writing, "Tovarich" illustrates the history of the Russian Revolution. With the start and collapse of the Russian Revolution as a central time element, the play can teach students about history, Stanianas said.
"The effects that it had on the rest of the world is
something that students need to understand better because if it weren't for Soviet Russia, the world would be a different place," Staniunas said.
Elissa Bowen, a sophomore from Kansas City, Mo., is playing the main character, Tatiana. She said getting used to the character of Tatiana was a challenge.
"It was hard getting into that mindset of 'OK, I am imperial. I am not from Kansas anymore,'" Bowen said.
She added that it has been very educational, despite the difficulties of playing a comedy without much experience.
"I think I've learned a lot from this show, (more than) I thought I would when I came into it," Bowen said.
Seven men and seven women, including many new students to the theater department, are making the play "Tovarich" come to real life. Staniunas said with a lot of words, complex ideas, and deeply driven characters, the cast has been trying to find the deeper meaning in the play and making sure they are telling the story in an accurate, vet humorous, way.
"All the characters are well drawn out, so it's always hard to try to get inside of
someone's skin," Staniunas said.
Despite the complexity of the storyline, Bowen said there are certain moments that will make people laugh.
Showings will be Friday through Sunday of this week and next. Tickets are available online or at the door.
"I know that there are times when I am having trouble on stage not laughing because there are times that are just so absurd and very funny," Bowen said.

A conversation with SNL writer Colin Jost
CODY SCHMITZ
@Cody_Schmitz
Colin Jost is a busy man. The Harvard graduate joined "Saturday Night Live" as a writer in 2005, became head writer in 2012 and took on the role of co-anchor on the show's "Weekend Update" segment earlier this year. On Oct. 16, Jost will bring his comedic prowess to the University of Kansas with a performance at the Lied Center at 7:30 p.m. Recently, Jost spoke with the Kansan about everything from breakfast cereal to Tina Fey and all things SNL.
KANSAN: First things first, how did you get your first writing job at SNL?
I wrote for this magazine called the (National) Lampoon in college, so I wrote and trained a lot there. Then I worked on an animated show in New York called "Kappa Mikey," which was on Nickelodeon. (I worked there) for about halfway through one episode. Then I submitted some sketches to SNL. I was very fortunate that there was a spot available at the time. I was lucky that Tina Fey and Andrew Steele, who were the head writers, liked something in that packet. They brought me in for an interview. Then I interviewed with (SNL's Executive Producer) Lorne (Michaels), which was very intimidating. I was lucky that I got a chance, and once I got hired, I just tried to work as hard as I could to stay there.
KANSAN: Who did you write with most frequently?
JUST I kind of wrote with everyone who was there. I ended up writing a decent amount with Andy Samberg because we started at the same time. Jason (Sudeikis), Bill (Hader), we all started together. I kind of liked bouncing around and writing with a lot of different people. That's kind of the fun part of the job. You can write with Kristen (Wiig) one week and write with Bobby' (Moynihan) the next week. It was fun. And there were also writers that I liked working with, too. Rob Klein, who's now the other head writer, he and I wrote together a lot. John Solomon, who is a great writer. We ended up writing a lot together.
KANSAN: You started writing at SNL at age 22. Was it intimidating to start at such a young age?
JUST Yeah, but the nice thing is, when you're that age, you don't know any better. You're a little bit young to be overly worried. So, there's nothing else to do except try to do things that you think are funny and try not to worry about it because worrying about it doesn't really help you. You have enough anxiety with just the day-to-day without getting into an existential crisis out of the gate.
KANSAN: Do you remember the first sketch you wrote or helped write that made it on the air?
JUST Yeah, for my first episode I wrote a sketch with Eric Kenward, who's another writer, and Bill Hader. It was an idea I pitched. We wrote it, and it was the first sketch of the night after the monologue. It was Steve Carell and Amy Poehler. They were on a Jet Blue flight and they were watching their own crash happen on their Jet Blue TVs. Kenward helped me a lot with that, and it made it on which was cool to have a sketch on your first show.
KANSAN: Speaking of sketches, is there a sketch that you had a hand in or a character that you would say you're the most proud of?
JUST Yeah, it's very satisfying to write something for a cast member that works as a character. For example, writing Drunk Uncle with Bobby or even Justin Bieber for Kate (McKinnon). Cecily (Strong) too, doing "Girl You Wish You Hadn't Started A Conversation With At A Party." It's cool that those were something that a cast member scored with. It's fun to see.
'KANSAN: Switching over, how did you make the transition to head writer?
JOIST It was kind of a gradual thing. A few years after I was there, I was promoted to supervising writer. In retrospect, I was probably being groomed a little bit to keep moving up. As a supervising writer, I started being in different meetings with Lorne and having very minor input on the show (as to) what would make it or what wouldn't. So when I eventually became head
writer with Seth (Meyers), it was a natural process because I had already been doing the things that a head writer does. I just didn't have the full anxiety of that job.
KANSAN: As the head writer, did you find it hard to learn to say, "This is what I think and I'm standing by it?"
JUST Yeah, I think so. I think it's about both trusting yourself and it's also important to start trusting people around you. There's a balance there. I think you really need to believe in what you're doing, but if everyone's telling you, "Hey, this isn't a good idea," there's probably a reason for it. Sometimes you say, "You know what, I really have a clear vision for this and I think it's really funny and I want to push for it," and it may never get made, but you pick your battles in that way.
KANSAN: Who did you grow up watching on "Weekend Update"?
JUST I saw a decent range of anchors, but the sweet spot for me was Norm Macdonald. He was there exactly when I was watching the show the most. So he was sort of my idea of Weekend Update when I was younger.
KANSAN: Do you cite him as an influence comedically?
an influence comedically. 1057. Yeah, definitely. I feel like with SNL there's people from a bunch of different generations that really influenced me. There were people who didn't do Update too, like Chris Farley or Adam Sandler or people who were on SNL who I later discovered in a whole other way, like Chris Rock. It's a range of people who, when I was a kid, were just the funniest people I'd ever seen.
KANSAN: As far as standup goes, do you see a difference between performing at colleges and a comedy club?
JOSH Oh yeah, definitely. I mean, colleges are interesting because people at college usually have less life experience to draw on. They have very full lives, but, for example, they haven't had years at a job where you can make jokes about "how an office is." And people are just starting to have more meaningful relationships, so they haven't been doing that for years either. So it's harder to

FIVE FINAL QUESTIONS:
2) What is your favorite aquatic animal?
1) Favorite and least favorite Halloween costume you've ever worn?
"Favorite is Wolverine. It was a bright yellow, very unflattering Wolverine costume that I definitely wore for like, a couple of years in college. Which is just an unacceptable costume, but I did it.
Least favorite... I think I was dressed up as an apple juice box when I was young. Like, a box of Mott's apple juice made out of a weird cardboard box."
2) What is your favorite aquatic animal?
"I've go to go shark. Shall the way. If the shark stops swimming forward it dies. That's a really nice way to think about our lives."
3) Favorite breakfast cereal?
"I would say Frosted Mini-Wheats."
4) First concert you ever went to?
"s saw Meatball in Cincinnati, Ohio, with my aunt."
5) Favorite TV show at the moment?
5) Favorite TV show at the moment?
“At the moment... I really enjoy ‘Comedy Bang Bang.’ I don’t know what else I’m caught up on right now. I’m pretty excited for the season ending of ‘Mad Men,’ exclamation clips preemptively said.”
make a joke like, "Oh, dating's so tough" because everyone in college is like, "What do you mean? It's the greatest thing ever. Why would something be wrong with it?" So it's just a slightly different set of material that I'll do at a college versus
a club. But it's also really fun because college students are really smart. You can do things that are sillier but hopefully still smart, and college students like it.

Burlesque show highlights unique beauty of models
MARISSA KAUFMANN
@mariss193
The SuicideGirls' "Blackheart Burlesque" originated in 2002 and continued to 2007, until they decided to take a five-year hiatus and started back up last year, Missy said. Every year, around 200 of the suicide girls audition and 25 make the cut to become part of the show.
In the summer of 2001, Missy Suicide began taking pictures of her friends who had piercings, tattoos and colored hair. She posted the pictures on a website, creating an online community and social platform where girls could express themselves. The community generated a positive response. Missy said the website was a creative outlet for members and SuicideGirls to post videos, photos, text or anything they want.
"What I am looking forward to the most is getting on stage. Once there is an audience in front of you, it changes everything," said Maxxy Suicide, suicide girl and dancer in "Blackheart Burlesque." "They are there to watch us, and that feeling is amazing."
"My first tattoo I got when I was 18. I got the word simplify on my right hip and it is in my own handwriting," said Charmaine Suicide, model assistant and suicide girl. "It was just to remind me of simplifying life. It is the little things that make you happy. I try to be a minimalist so that
SuicideGirls, an adult lifestyle brand, redefines beauty, according to its mission statement.
SuicideGirls is presenting its "Blackheart Burlesque" show tomorrow, Oct. 17, at the Granada. The show will include performances and music, "complete with tonguein-cheek humor and raw erotic sexuality," said Austin Griswold, public relations representative for SuicideGirls. The show is for ages 18 and over with doors opening at 8 p.m.
"What some people think makes us strange, or weird, or f****d up, we think is what makes us beautiful," the mission statement says.
"The burlesque show is sexy strip teases to a modern soundtrack with pop culture themes, everything from 'Adventure Time' to 'Clockwork Orange' to 'Game of Thrones," said Missy Suicide, the founder of SuicideGirls.
The show is choreographed by Manwe Sauls-Addison, who has worked with celebrities such as Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez and Lady Gaga. The group is currently on its U.S. tour and will tour London next, Missy said.
is what that is about."
The name "SuicideGirls" was formed by Missy Suicide and intends to represent the theme of her company. She said it addresses girls committing social suicide by not fitting into societal norms. Inspiration for the name came from Chuck Palahniuk, who wrote "Fight Club" and "Survivor."
"If you told my 15-year-old, weird self that I would be sitting here today, I would not believe you," Charmaine said. "But, I have always been a big fan of what they are trying to promote and just highlighting beauty of all sorts, shapes, sizes, colors and it's just something I enjoy."
SuicideGirls started out as a social network for girls to express themselves before Facebook, Instagram, Friendster and Twitter, Missy said. Now, 2,700 girls are taking part in this movement as well as their fans — 6.1 million Facebook fans, 2 million fans on Instagram and almost 40 million comments. The company has grown over its 13 years of existence.
“It is kind of like joining the most badass sorority in the world,” Missy said. “If you ask any of (the SuicideGirls), her favorite part, it will be the friends that she’s made. You meet like-minded women who become instant best friends.”
tickets are $25. VIP tickets are available for $100 that include general admission, a meet-and-greet with the girls, early access to tour merch, a signed item, a photo op and a tour collectible.

energy that was created.
"There is also a lot of spontaneous dancing and play," Carter said. "The chanting is usually call-response with the audience, so it synchronizes breathing and focuses attention. It is simple, energetic, powerful and feels great."
Carter said kirtan can make him feel open, happy, connected with others in the room, deserving, complete, appreciated, fulfilled, empty, high and more. He said he hopes to bring these powerful feelings to the participants of the Lawrence Bhakti Festival.
Over the course of the weekend, Larry Carter said local bands will perform kirtan music with all distinctively different approaches, sounds, instruments and materials. He said these bands are composed of musicians who are experienced and dedicated to this practice.
Carter will perform with his band, Whole Earth Kirtan. It will perform its blend of Sanskrit chants, an ancient Indic language used in Hindu scriptures and classical Indian poems, along with other traditions. The band frequently performs in Kansas and Colorado.
Some of the bands performing include: Jai Spirit, Ras Mandala, Whole Earth Kirtan, Lana Maree and the Sonic Mystics, HeartSong Kirtan and The Bhakti Yogis. While some mix traditional and contemporary kirtan chants, others evoke ancient chants.
THE MUSIC
of a pool of musicians who join him in various combinations. Carter said the name of the band explores chants from a wide variety of spiritual perspectives.
"Some of our performances are mix and match affairs where we might do a Sanskrit chant followed by something from Wiccan, Christian, Native American, Sufi or some other belief system," Carter said.
According to the Bhakti Festival website, Sunday will also include a band called The Sound Posse who will offer a healing session through a total immersion in the vibrations of Paiste gongs. The use of Nepalese bowls, bells and tingshas, harmonium and voice and the Australian didgeridoo work together in a combination of sound healing and chanting.
"To see audience members deeply moved by what I'm presenting is terrific," Carter said. "Since it is audience participatory, it also is much easier for musicians, thus allowing for more improvisation than would be found in most ensembles."
As a musician who has performed for years, Carter said he prefers to perform in a setting where people listen closely and respectfully to his music.
"Most bhakti festivals draw in bands from all over, so to be able to have a festival that features this many local bands is quite the accomplishment," Carter said.
THE SPECIAL GUEST

According to Karnamrita's website, she was classically trained as a vocalist in India for nearly a decade. She has been immersed in kirtan since birth and has dedicated her life to composing, recording, performing and collecting rare Sanskrit poetry in honor of her mother's passion for the ancient Bhakti tradition. From yoga retreat centers to music festivals to the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., Karnamrita performs and teaches at hundreds of venues worldwide and has won numerous awards.
"We want participants to engage the body, intuitive mind, healing heart, soul and spirit through a collection of modalities by qualified teachers and therapists who practice with integrity and truly serve from the heart," said Gopi Sandal, a yoga instructor at Westside Yoga who has studied and practiced Bhakti yoga for over 10 years.
According to Carter, all of the yoga instructors who will be performing at the festival are all from Lawrence yoga centers. Be Moved Studio, Obiji Yoga and Om Tree Shala are all sending instructors to the event. Instructors from Westside Yoga, the studio that will house the event, will be present as well.
THE YOGA
According to Gopi, each of her classes combines a balance of asana, breath work and spiritual centering practices. She teaches a holistic style of yoga, drawing on the principles of body alignment

East Asian Studies awarded over $200K
+
LAUREN METZLER
@MetzlerLauren
The University received a National Resource Center Award of $233,000 for East Asian studies along with a Foreign Language and Area Studies Award of $247,500 for African language studies.
On Oct. 7, the U.S. Department of Education announced the universities that won awards from $63.3 million worth of grants to further global studies, according to a press release from the Department of Education.
The FLAS award will go to undergraduate fellowship scholarships of $10,000 for tuition spread over one academic year with a $5,000 stipend for students of African languages, said Elizabeth MacGonagle, associate professor of African history. Graduate and summer scholarships will
also be awarded.
Last year, the Center for East Asian studies received an NRC award similar in size to that of this year. However, one year into the cycle, congressional cuts caused the amount to be reduced by 46.5 percent, Greene said.
The NRC award money will benefit the Center for East Asian studies. This will help fund new courses, faculty research, faculty attendance of conferences and the development of new courses, said Megan Greene, associate professor of history and director of the Center for East Asian studies.
In a 50-page proposal, the departments had to outline their strengths and make a case for why they deserved funding.
The Center for East Asian studies did not receive the FLAS award this year, which was a great disappointment, Greene said.
Greene said.
"If you read these things as literature, you would think these were the worst written things ever because they are just so full of information that they can't flow very nicely," Greene said.
Awards like these are what enable University programs to continue to grow.
"It gives KU students more opportunities: a broader range of courses, more things they can learn from," Greene said.
These awards are designed to support the increasing need for globally aware students among the collegiate American landscape, according to the Department of Education press release.
"I think you're truly becoming a global citizen when you make the commitment to learn another language," MacGonagle said.

[citation] decline is probably something tied to having a presence there," Marie Taylor, a resident of Lawrence who practices law in Topeka, said. "If a police officer is driving nearby, [drivers] are probably more careful. It may be what's driving the reduction, the actual presence of police."
In August, officers from the LPD joined approximately 150 Kansas law enforcement agencies in the 2014 You Drink, You Drive, You Lose enforcement campaign for one month, ending Sept. 1. Additional officers patrolled the streets funded by a grant from the Kansas Department of Transportation. The campaign focused on alcohol-related accidents to discourage drinking and driving.
Current citations are still
lower than they were at the start of the enforcement campaign that ran Aug. 14 through Sept. 1. Sgt. Trent McKinley, media contact for the LPD, said the August campaign was effective in increasing citations but also safety.
"With 12 DUI arrests and more than 100 seatbelt violations addressed, I believe the statistics speak to that point themselves," McKinley said.
Taylor said she noticed an increased police presence there during those weeks. She also said downtown, especially the areas beyond the main streets, has always been somewhat of a focal point.
"If you were to walk further away from the main streets, there could be a safety issue coming back from downtown.
concerned about," Taylor said. "Those get tied to alcohol."
Taylor said there are many people who move to Lawrence from out of town,some from small towns,who are young new to the community and are not used to certain safety issues.
(The lighting is) just so limited outside of that (area)." Taylor said.
McKinley said the Lawrence police hope to address the the reduction of alcohol related traffic crashes, frequency and intensity of nighttime violence and the reduction of street robberies.

"The lack of research was an increasing concern to AAA because automakers were toung a plethora of hands free vehicle communication and entertainment systems that distract minds from driving, couple that with a predicted five fold increase of these systems by 2018, it could be a real public safety concern," said AAA Executive Vice President James Hanni.
The team created a ranking, with 1 being hardly a distraction and 5 being a total cognitive distraction. The radio ranked a level 1, a 2 was talking on a handheld or hands-free device. Engaging in a hands-free, voice-activated or voice-installed devices in cars was a level 3 distraction. Interacting with Siri on the iPhone ranked as a level 4 distraction for the driver. However, the driver does not have to be the person interacting with Siri;
AAA teamed up with David Strayer and his team from the University of Utah to research cognitive distractions in regards to driving.
the distraction occurs even when anyone in the car is using the device.
After conducting the tests, the team delved deeper into discovering the why and how these cognitive distraction in cars worked. Hanni said the team then compared characteristics of various voice-activated systems to see which were the most distracting.

mental distractions, when your brain is focused on something other than driving, had never been considered before.
tions - such as taking hands off the wheel to eat.
During this phase of the research, they took many popular car brands and assessed their levels of distraction on the same scale as before. Toyota's Entune system came in with the lowest cognitive distraction level of 1.7, only slightly higher than the distraction caused by listening to a radio. On opposite ends, the Chevrolet MyLink came out as the most distracting with a distraction level of 3.7. The remaining cars fell in between these two; the Hyundai Blue Link ranked at 2.2, the Chrysler Uconnect was only slightly higher at 2.7, Ford SYNC with MyFord Touch came in at 3.0 and the Mercedes COMAND scored a 3.1 distraction level.
Research conducted by AAA is leading to new systems that keep drivers safe and focused on the road. This research is helping the auto industry develop a less distracting hands free interactive system in vehicles that will actually lead to a much safer driving experience.
Ryan Pfannenstiel, manager of Dale Wille Automotive in Lawrence, said he doesn't think his cars present distractions with hands-free devices.
"The button is on the steering wheel, it's easy to reach but you don't have to use it if you don't want there's a hands on option. People love it," Pfannenstiel said.
While not all sales representatives are aware of the dangers, Hanni said he hopes to improve road safety by working with policy makers, manufacturers and safety workers.
Hanni explained that the next phase of the system will address several remaining questions and help automakers understand how drivers in different age groups manage mental workload by use of these systems. They will also research how drivers regulate their use of these systems according to complexity of their driving situation including poor weather or bad road conditions.
The next phase is still undergoing researched and Hanni said drivers must be careful with their use of technology while driving.
"Just because you can use them doesn't mean you should." Hanni said.

ROYALS SWEEP ORIOLES TO ADVANCE TO WORLD SERIES
G. J. MELIA
@gimelia
The Kansas City Royals completed the sweep of the Baltimore Orioles 2-1 on Wednesday evening, clinching a spot in the World Series for the first time since 1985.
The Royals are the first team ever to start 8-0 in the MLB postseason. The 2007 Colorado
wednesday night, the Royals were led by starting pitcher Jason Vargas, who pitched five and one-third innings before reliever Kelvin Herrera in the sixth inning. Vargas allowed only one run while fanning 14 of 19 batters.
Rockies began 7-0 before losing four straight to the Boston Red Sox in the World Series. The 1976 Cincinnati Reds won the World Series after going 7-0 in the playoffs, before the format included a divisional series.
Kansas City struck first in the bottom of the first on an Eric Hosmer RBI fielder's choice, to score shortstop Alcides Escobar from third.
On the throw to home to get Escobar, Orioles catcher Caleb Joseph was unable to, control and the ball kicked to the backstop, scoring rightfielder Nori Aoki on the error.
Orioles third baseman Ryan Flaherty homered in the top of the third inning, cutting the lead to one.
But the Kansas City defense held strong as it has all season, this time a spectacular catch from left fielder Alex Gordon. Gordon, a three-time gold glove winner, robbed Orioles shortstop J.J. Hardy of an extra-base hit in the top of the fifth.
Relievers Wade Davis and Greg Holland sealed the win for the Royals in the eighth and ninth innings, with Davis earning his fifth hold of the postseason, and Holland grabbing his sixth save of the playoffs.
Kansas City will now play the winner of the St. Louis Cardinals and San Francisco Giants National League Championship Series. The first game will be Tuesday, time TBD.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Kansas City Royals have exceeded expectations, and then some
By Connor Oberkrom
@coberkro
Many fans thought the light would never come. Last season was an aberration and it massively outperformed its talent. Regressing to the mean was only expected.
However, as the Royals find themselves one win away from the World Series, which Dayton Moore joked about winning last year for finishing over .500, the perspective rushes in.
Kansas City fired its hitting coach, Pedro Grifol, in the middle of the season. When the team hired Dale Sveum in his place, it was the Royals' sixth hitting coach since 2012. You have to imagine that is the most for a potential World Series team. The offense was anemic, to be kind.
Another story came later in the season, saying that Royals' hitters weren't listening to George Brett, the Hall-of-Famer who you could say had a decent career. Not all great players make great hitting coaches, but to not even gain a little expertise from the guy that has been lingering around the organization since he arrived was troublesome.
The offense completely changed the script. The Royals' offense was the first team to ever come into the playoffs last in home runs and walks.
But not only is it hitting home runs, it's drawing walks, too, during the postseason. It was something sabermetrics (advanced stats) has berated the Royals front office for and rightfully so.
There are other stories that make this run out of the realm of possibility even if this team is different from the past and the playoffs are a crapshoot.
Senior outside hitter Chelsea Albers makes a kill in the game against Texas on Oct. 5. Kansas defeated West Virginia in Morgantown on Wednesday.
KANSAS KANSAS KANSAS KANSAS
Manager Ned Yost thought Yordano Ventura wasn't ready to pitch Opening Day because he didn't have the experience. He wanted a veteran to start because Ventura pitching during a playoff race in 2013 wasn't enough.
"Pinch-hitting for guys gets in their dome," Yost said. "And you don't want to get in their dome in the second game. When nobody is really swinging the bat good."
Yost then outdid himself when he was asked about why he didn't pinch-hit for Alcides Escobar during a late-game situation in the opening series of this season, and he responded with the quote that will maybe forever define him.
BEN LIPOWITZ/KANSAN
His loyalty to players has been reinforced by this marvelous seven-game run.
Kansas dominates second set, defeats W.Va.
Regardless of what happens, we can all sit back and laugh and enjoy this. Because at least for one season, everything you had thought to be had ceased to be. Baseball can wipe away the existential dread for almost three decades in one month. It's magical.
However, it would be nice to do this more frequently than every 29 years.

Kansas volleyball (14-5, 2-3)
won its second conference
match of the season, defeating
a slumping West Virginia (12-
8, 2-4) in four sets 19-25, 25-
10, 25-20, 25-22.
The Jayhawks led for all of nine points in the first set, as the West Virginia Mountaineers followed their game plan by hitting efficiently when opportunities came. The Mountaineers finished the set with a .265 hitting percentage, while the Jayhawks committed 11 errors and 15 kills on 41 attempts, plummeting to a .098 hitting percentage.
In the second set, Kansas committed only three errors on attacks in the set while contributing 13 kills as a team, producing a .400 hitting percentage. Led by senior outside hitters Chelsea Alber's five kills and Sara McClinton's four kills, the Jayhawks used a 9-0 mid-set run to extend the lead to 19-5 before finishing the second set, 25-10.
Going down two sets to none at West Virginia would have given the Jayhawks a slim chance at winning, and coach Ray Bechard knew the team's second set performance was crucial for momentum.
"We've been out here in past years and lost the first set before, but this year it was with our youngest team against their best team," Bechard said. "So they way that our team responded with a 25-10 win in the very next set was key."
Much like West Virginia did to the Jayhawks in set one, Kansas did to the Mountainers in set three. After ties of 3-3, 4-4, and 6-6, Kansas finally took the lead at 7-6 and never relinquished it again.
West Virginia was never quite out of the third set, tying the game again at 12-12 and closing the gap at 22-20.
but the team's six attacking errors against Kansas' four were enough to sink them.
Kansas' ability to finish matches has been mediocre at best in conference so far, but the team was able put away West Virginia in the fourth set with a strong 278 hitting percentage, the team's second best of any set on Wednesday.
Overall, each team's hitting percentages told the story of
the match.
Kansas finished well above its conference average of .215, ending the match with a .245 hitting percentage on 59 kills, 23 errors and 147 attacks.
On the other side, West Virginia had just six fewer attacks, but only managed 47 kills while committing 26 errors, finishing with a .149 hitting percentage.
Individually, Kansas freshman setter Ainise Havili came into the match second in the Big 12 in assists per set with 11.22. Havili added to that number by totaling 47 assists against West Virginia in four sets, good for a 11.75 assists per set average.
Kansas was also led offensively by Albers' 15 kills, and sophomore middle Tayler Soucie was the Jayhawks most efficient hitter with 11
kills and zero errors on 22 attacks.
"Soucie really got going with the block tonight as did Kelsia Payne and Chelsea Alers," Bechard said. "That really impacts the match when you can score points off the block in a dominant fashion.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"It's definitely an opportunity for fans to get focused on your sports moments, and to tell people about your experiences as a fan. And we allow some trash-talking."
- Hossein Kash Razzaghi Inside Bay Area
FACT OF THE DAY
Fancred's user base is growing by 50 percent each month.
— Fancred

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: How many Fancred posts have there been since its launch?
A: Over 1.2 million
— Fancreed
A: Over 1.2 million
THE MORNING BREW:
Audience interaction encouraged on social media app Fancred
New social media platforms are being created all the time. Many of them fall, es-
sime. Many of them, especially ones that deal primarily with sports content. There is one particular sports social media app that hasn't fallen through the cracks though.
Fancred was founded in August 2012 by Hossein Kash Razzaghi, Jeremy Merle, Michael Pan and Craig Johnson and was launched early in 2013.
That's what Fancred offers一 strong sense of community with fans all over the globe. Fancred allows sports fans to document, share and filter what they see.
"I wanted to connect people through sports and give them a sense of community," Razzaghi said.
When people are approached to download Fancred, they generally ask,
"why can't I just use (insert whatever

@Amie Just
social media platform here)."
THE BREW
"The biggest difference between us and Twitter, is with Twitter you're watching the game and you're in the read-and-lean-back mode, getting additional information that you might not have gotten from your TV set," Razzaghi said. "Fancred has really been able to create more of a virtual stadium where you have tens of thousands of displaced fans watching the same game but really interacting together and going through the ups and downs of the game together. It's a much more engaged and active audience, so if you are a big brand or publication, you can learn more about your audience by working with Fancred."
+
Another Fancreed exclusive is the "Fancreed Score." The score is based on a secret algorithm that grows based on how active users are within the app and how well the user's content engages with other users. So far, the highest score in the app is a 76. The head of strategy and content for Fancread, Landon Howell, has that score.
Fancred was originally an iOS/web exclusive, but was recently launched for Android.
There are 11 full time employees working at the headquarters in Boston, and hundreds of "Community Leaders" across the nation.
The Community Leaders are college students who use grassroots techniques to engage their communities on the app. Kansas has two active Community Leaders on campus.
Several professional and college sports teams have verified accounts with Fancred. For example, the Boston Red Sox, Mississippi State University and Liverpool Football Club all actively engage with users. Former NFL player Lawyer Milloy has an account on Fancred as well. Many users were skeptical that it was truly Milloy, but once he posted a photo of himself picking his nose, the doubt quickly faded.

With 19 newcomers on the team, the Kansas women's rowing team is prepared to kick off their fall season.
Just two weeks after securing their roster, the Jayhawks will host their first event of the season with the Jayhawk Jamboree. This is the second year the Jayhawks have held this event. Teams from Kansas State, University of Iowa, University of Tulsa and Drake University will also compete. The event starts at noon on Oct. 18 at the Kansas River.
The Jayhawks compete with a varsity and a novice team. The novice team is mostly made up of the new freshmen and first-
year rowers. Kailey Tennant, a freshman from St. Louis, tried out for the team after a couple of her friends talked her into it.
"Tryouts were basically like an intro to rowing," Tennant said. "They taught us very basic forms and techniques. Most of us had never even rowed before."
Coach Rob Catloth has a positive outlook for the season with all these newcomers.
"Our goal is to win a Big 12 Championship." Catloth said. "We're looking for a deep team."
The team, totaling 62 athletes, is almost evenly divided between freshmen and returning veterans, according to Catloth.
"We're a young team now, but we're headed in the right direction," Catloth said.
The team practices several times a week, often twice a day, and on Saturdays.
"It's a lot harder than it looks," Tennant said. "It's all about leg strength and timing. You really have to learn how to trust your team and be dependent on them."
The competitive racing season is between March and May, but teams compete in longer distance races in the fall to prepare for the competitive season. This year the team is scheduled to compete in two long-distance meets this fall.
Last year the team finished in third place at the Big 12 Championships and seventh place at the Conference USA Championships.

Jayhawks attempt to break road-losing streak
STELLA LIANG
@stelly_liang
There is something surrounding Kansas football (2-4, 0-3 Big 12) that has been missing so far this season. After a coaching change, a quarterback change and an inspired performance on Saturday, optimism has found a way to make it back into the conversation.
The Jayhawks hope they can build upon their recent performance when they travel to Lubbock, Texas, this Saturday against Texas Tech (2-4, 0-3 Big 12).
"I think on the field we've been able to go out and put back-to-back games where we played hard and got more physical this last game," interim coach Clint Bowen said. "I think there is progress going on."
Kansas' road-losing streak has been well documented, with the last victory coming in September 2009. For Bowen, though, the team should only be thinking about what it can do right now.
“It's taking care of whatever is six inches in front of your face and getting that part of it done.” Bowen said. “If you keep doing things right and keep doing them right over and over and over, then usually success follows.”
The Jayhawks might have a golden opportunity as the Red Raiders have been struggling as of late. Texas Tech is one of three teams in the Big 12 without a conference victory; Kansas and Iowa State are the other two.
The signature Red Raider passing offense has not missed a beat. Quarterback Davis Webb is averaging 325.2 passing yards per game and has thrown 19 touchdowns this season, which leads the Big 12.
"Throwing is probably what they do best," Bowen said. "But I think it's the space that they create, the way that they force you to defend the entire field."
If you keep doing things right and keep doing them right over and over and over, then usually success follows."
CLINT BOWEN Interim coach
The Red Raiders' problems start with the defense and the late-game mistakes. Texas Tech ranks last in the league in scoring defense, rushing defense and total defense.
After three games, Texas Tech replaced defensive coordinator Matt Wallerstedt with Mike Smith. Since then, the Red Raiders have tried to change their defense, some players have switched positions, Kansas offensive coordinator John Reagan said
"There's a lot of different things going on there, so they're obviously trying to get speed on the field," Reagan
said. "They've done a decent job. You know they're going to be fundamentally sound." Last week, West Virginia trailed Texas Tech by 14 points in the fourth quarter before coming back to win on a last-second 55-yard field goal.
So in a matchup of last-place teams, Kansas has a shot at winning on the road and earning Bowen's first victory.
Junior quarterback Michael Cummings is officially the starter on the depth chart released on Tuesday. In his first start since the 2012 season, Cummings completed 20 of 37 passes for 288 yards against Oklahoma State. The numbers weren't especially eye-catching for Big 12 quarterback standards, but he moved the offense and completed a few deep balls. With his performance, Bowen said the team named him the offensive player of the game.
"I think the way he played and what he displayed here, he earned the right to be a starter." Bowen said. "Hopefully he truly can take control of that offense."
Cummings was especially praised for his in-game decision-making.
"You have to be decisive," Reagan said. "You have to have knowledge and confidence that allows you to do that. I thought Mike did a great job at quarterback."

DAN HARMSEN
@UDK_Dan
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DAN: Kliff Kingsbury started out 7-0 last season, but lost his last five regular season games. Texas Tech beat Arizona State in the Holiday Bowl to salvage the season, but all in all, after being ranked as high as No. 10, it had to be a disappointing finish. This year, the Red Raiders started 2-0, but have lost the last four. Does Tech still think they've got a future Mike Gundy in Kingsbury or are things getting a little testy for a pretty tradition-rich program like Tech? Is this a must-win game?
SETH: I don't think we are getting testy. The majority of fans are still really comfortable with Kingsbury being the head coach, and people aren't too frustrated. Sometimes with progress you take a dip, and while that's not always fun, sometimes it happens. You look at TCU last year, 4-8, West Virginia was 4-8, Cal was 1-11, so sometimes good coaches, even good ones, can be not so good at winning football games for a particular season. It's just the second year for Kingsbury, so he's got time.
Is it a must-win game? I only consider must-win games when you are going to be eliminated from a series. For example, with your Royals, they need to win to advance.
SETH: The coaches and everyone said it is a non-issue. I heard that he was injured, but I don't know the extent of it. Not to the point where he can't play. I think he really wanted to play in that game as opposed to the coaches wanting to be safe.
I tend to think that Tech should have a good chance at beating Kansas, but it is still kind of in the air at this point.
Some of the fans haven't been as happy with Webb because he has sort of regressed, not progressing forward as much as Tech fans expected him to this season.
DAN: Statistically, Davis Webb is having a solid year as quarterback. For Kansas fans that aren't privy to the ins and outs of Red Raider football, in the OSU game, Webb looked visibly frustrated on the sideline after an apparent injury. What's the status on the sophomore quarterback?
UAN: The running game has been shelved this season, but when Tech does run the ball, they seem to do it well. What should Kansas expect from the Red Raiders on the ground this week?
SETH: More of the same from last week. DeAndre Washington is their best runner and one of the best football players on this team. Last week, he had a 5-yard per carry average. He's really good at finding holes. Tech had an injury at left guard, but that should be beneficial to help bolster the running game having him back.
DAN: Wes Welker, Michael Crabtree, Eric Ward, Jace Amaro. It seems like with every new year, there are at least two Tech receivers that kill the Jayhawks. Who are guys to look out for this year?
SEETH: Inside receivers Bradley Marquez and Jakeem Grant. Marquez can play both inside and outside, and he is very versatile in terms of how he is able to catch the ball. Grant is incredibly quick, only 5-foot-6 and maybe only 160 pounds — really tiny. On the downside, the wide receivers as a whole haven't played up to their abilities. They're really trying to push the gas to get the outside guys to play more consistently.
DAN: I can't imagine Kingsbury is too happy with his defense after allowing 17 points in the final six or so minutes last week. How are things going on that side of the football?
SETH: After firing the defensive coordinator about three weeks ago, it has sort of become topsy-turvy. Mike Smith, the new defensive coordinator, is a former Red Raider. The numbers don't stack up; Tech is still giving up 500 yards or so a
game, but there has been more pressure on the quarterback. It's a process; Tech had to recruit four JUCO defensive linemen to fill the gaps. Unless you are Bill Snyder, you aren't going to have a ton of success going that route. They also have true sophomore and true freshman cornerbacks that have played almost every game this year.
DAN: Texas Tech has found seemingly every way possible to beat the layhawks over the past 10 years. Do you notice that trend, and how do you see this one playing out on Saturday?
SETH: Thinking that Kansas can do itself a huge favor with ball control. Not getting in too big of a hurry and limiting Tech's chances to score. That's their best option because when the defense gets gashed, there isn't much depth behind the starters. If I were Kansas, that's probably what I would do. Texas Tech does seem to just win. Thinking back to the 2012 game, Tech probably shouldn't have won. Kansas has a handful of guys that are difference makers in guys like (senior linebacker Ben) Heeney and (freshman running back Corey) Avery. Avery is just a freshman and extremely talented, and Cummings is getting his career back and going passing the ball, and the Tech corners have not been very adept at stopping the pass. Those are problems. Those big cornerbacks that Kansas has can jam the Tech wide-receivers at the line, too. Kansas could definitely be problematic.
I'll predict a win, not too confident about it. I think the line is at 13 or 14 right now, but I'd have Tech winning by 10 right now.

BIG 12 POWER RANKINGS
DAN HARMSEN
@udk_dan
After pandemonium all across the conference last week, the plot in the chase for the Big 12 title is thickening game-by-game. Four favored teams, Oklahoma State, West Virginia, Oklahoma and Baylor needed late-game heroics to escape the week with their championship aspirations still alive.
Each of the five games featuring a Big 12 opponent was decided by seven points or less, heading into a Week 8 that could separate the league into three tiers: the great, the good and the bad.
The Big 12 enters the weekend with just one team in the top 10, but with five in the top-15. There is a bit of a logjam for second in the conference behind Baylor. Who will be the first to draw Bear blood? The Horned Frogs came close, falling 61-58 on a field goal as time expired.
1. NO. 4 BAYLOR 6-0 (3-O BIG 12)
LAST TIME OUT: WON VS. TCU
61-58
It's one thing to be trailing by multiple scores when your offense struggles to score points. It's entirely different to be trailing by multiple scores when your offense averages 52.7 points per game, best in the land. In front of a sellout home crowd, quarterback Bryce Petty had a moment — a Heisman moment — much to the delight of the Bear faithful who greeted him and his teammates on the field in the wackiest, most influential games of the season thus far. Petty threw for 510 yards and six touchdowns, and the Bears needed all of it.
After over-exerting itself in the 21-point comeback, a road-trip to Morgantown, W.Va., could be troublesome.

LAST TIME OUT: LOST AT
BAYLOR 58-61
Oh, how things can turn on a dime.
With just 11:38 until victory, leading
No. 5 Baylor 58-37 on the road in Waco, Texas, TCU was well on its way to a No.1 national ranking and the driver's seat in the Big 12.
At that point in the game, those possibilities had a 98.1 percent chance of becoming realities according to ESPN's win-probability measurement.
TCU's offense impressed, and gives you reason to think that the Horned Frogs could still contend for the championship. The Frogs went for 485 total yards, but during the last 11:38, TCU gained just 48 yards and three first downs to Baylor's 227 and 14.

Oklahoma was outgained by Texas 482 to 232. I repeat, Oklahoma was outgained by Texas ... and still won. Quarterback Trevor Knight completed just 12 passes for 129 yards, but the Sooners stole scores through other avenues. Alex Ross took a first-quarter kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown, and Zack Sanchez brought a 43-yard interception the distance. OU led 31-13 in the fourth quarter, but surrendered two late touchdowns. Texas had the ball with a chance to win, but was denied.

Quarterback Jake Waters leads Kansas State in both passing and rushing. Kansas State's offense averages 40.8 points per game, No. 16
in the nation, but it will be tested against a ferocious Sooner bunch.

In its first true road game of the season, Oklahoma State did what it needed to do, but it won't win any beauty contests because of it. If not for Tyreek Hill's 99-yard kickoff return for a touchdown with about six minutes left in a tie game—his second in back-to-back weeks—the Cowboys were on prime upset alert in Lawrence. After seizing a 20-7 halftime lead, the Oklahoma State offense went silent in the second half and gained just 11 total yards in the fourth quarter.
The road challenge takes a step up, or four, this week as Oklahoma State heads to Fort Worth, Texas, to play TCU.

6. WEST VIRGINIA 4-2 (2-1)
LAST TIME OUT: WON AT
TEXAS TECH 37-34
West Virginia did its best Baylor impression with a high-wire act, scoring 17 points in the last six-plus minutes of the game, escaping Lubbock, Texas, with a three-point victory.
Quarterback Clint Trickett was good, hitting on 28 of his 44 passes for 301 yards and two touchdowns, but he'll have to be better against Baylor. The similarities between Baylor and Texas Tech begin and end with the fact that they are both from the Lone Star State.

Next up: vs. Baylor
The Longhorns fought nobly in the Red River Rivalry, but came up on the short end of the stick. Tyrone Swoopes is looking less like a body to bridge the gap at quarterback and more like a legitimate option down the road. Swoopes went 27-of-44 for 334 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. His one interception was costly, though, as Oklahoma took it for a touchdown.
7. TEXAS 2-4 (1-2)
LAST TIME OUT: LOST VS.
OKLAHOMA 26-31
If Charlie Strong wants to make a bowl game in his debut season as head coach, this is a must-win game. No question. A loss and Strong may get to know a different side of Texas administration.

LAST TIME OUT: LOST VS.
WEST VIRGINIA 34-37
Texas Tech is about as close to dead in the water as any team in this conference.
Hey, TCU! Anything you can do I can do better. Leading by 14 with six minutes left in the game, Texas Tech folded like a good lawn chair. The Red Raiders committed two 15-yard penalties on the Mountaineers game-tying touchdown drive and are averaging the most penalties in the nation (11 per game).
Kiff Kingsbury started out 7-0 last season, but lost his last five regular season games. He started 2-0 this season, and has lost his next four. Texas Tech is becoming known as the team you prefer to play on the last game of the season.

A loss to Toledo at home would have all but sealed the Cyclones' bowl fate. Carried by quarterback Sam Richardson's 351-yard, three-touchdown performance, Iowa State escaped with a mid-season non-conference victory. Every opponent but one, the Iowa Hawkeyes, has scored 30 points or more against the Iowa State defense.
Iowa State will have to find a quick remedy for its running game that ranks 113th in the nation if it wants to knock off the Longhorns on the road.

Different quarterback. Different story. Redshirt junior Michael Cummings sparked an offense that outgained a Big 12 opponent for the first time since 2012 with 288 passing yards. Kansas rallied from 13 points down, in large part due to a suffocating defense that allowed just over 2 yards per play to the Oklahoma State offense in the second half.

Cross country to preview tough Nationals track
The Pre-Nationals race is hosted by Indiana State University and will take place at the Lavern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course. The course is seated on a former coal mine, which leads to deceiving hills, sharp turns, and switchback-like turns to make things interesting for the runners. The course also had trees removed to make viewing of the races easier for spectators, which can result in brutal winds that can become another obstacle for runners. The straightaways at both the beginning and the end of the course make for a great start for runners and an interesting finish for both the spectators and racers.
This weekend the cross country teams will head to Terre Haute, Ind., for Pre-Nationals, getting its first look at the course that will host the NCAA Championships in November.

@Joey_Anguiano
The meet is jampacked with talent on both sides. The men's races feature five top-30 teams, including Colorado and Oregon, who are currently ranked No.1 and No.2, respectively, in the nation.
On the women's side, the competition looks to be just as stiff, featuring six top-30 teams, with four of them falling in the top seven in the nation.
As far as the Jayhawks go on the men's side, once again expect a solid outing from junior Jacob Morgan as he looks to build off his first place finish in the Rim Rock Classic. Along with Morgan, senior James Wilson and freshman Chris Melgares will look to lead the Jayhawk pack.
On the women's side, the team has been running in packs all season long, a strategy that has been working well for them, so they will likely continue that in Terre Haute. Expect freshman Nashia Baker to continue to string along great finishes and lead the team, as she seems to be hitting her stride. Along with Nashia Baker, look for freshman Malika Baker and junior Hayley Francis to be among the top Kansas finishers.
The Pre-Nationals Races will start at 11 a.m. with the Women's 6K, while the first men's race of the day will start at 11:35 a.m.

Jayhawks seek second conference win against TCU
MATT CORTE
@Corte_UDK
Since capturing its first win in the Big 12 against Baylor last Friday, Kansas volleyball has transformed back into the team it resembled during non-conference play.
Now, Kansas will look to carry that momentum into Horeisi Family Athletics Center on Saturday night, hoping to claim its first home conference win of the season in the "Jayhawks for a Cure" match against Texas Christian University.
Kansas has been taken to a fourth or fifth set in every conference match, which is why finding a way to grind out a win like it did against Baylor becomes even more important.
"We were down 19-15 in the third and 21-18 in the fourth, and had to go on a 7-1 run to finish the match," coach Ray Bechard said. "We had to make some plays to do that, it wasn't just their errors — especially in the third set. Tiana Dockery served a tough ball and made a great dig. She and Sara [McClinton] put a ton of
balls away, 35 kills between them, so that was huge."
Unlike the match against Baylor, it'll take heroes from more than a few players to get a win against the Horned Frogs.
TCU (12-7, 2-3) is currently tied for fourth in the Big 12, with a majority of the team's success coming from its ability to attack the ball efficiently.
So far in overall play, the Horned Frogs rank third in the Big 12 with a .270 hitting percentage, and the team's 926 kills are third overall. In conference matches alone, TCU's .242 hitting percentage ranks third, and its 249 kills are the fourth most.
A majority of TCU's ability to consistently limit hitting errors doesn't come from one key player, but three.
Senior outside hitters Stephanie Holland and Mattie Burleson rank sixth and seventh in conference play with .321 and .313 hitting percentages respectively, while sophomore middle blocker Regan McGuire's .294 hitting percentage places her tenth.
sophomore outside hitter Ashley Smith, who currently leads the team with 190 overall kills.
On top of those three, Kansas will have to stop TCU
At 108 aces this season, TCU has already totaled 18 more than second place Oklahoma in overall play, averaging 1.54 aces per set.
Sophomore setter Trisha Langley is behind most of those, with 31 aces on the season ranking her first in the Big 12.
But Kansas will find its advantage with TCU's inability to block.
The Horned Frogs rank last in the Big 12 in opponents hitting percentage, letting other teams hit a whopping .206 throughout this season.
On the other side, Kansas' overall .243 hitting percentage ranks in the Top Five of the Big 12.
If the Jayhawks are able to exploit TCU's poor blocking, while forcing the team's efficient hitters to commit errors, then Kansas should have no problem earning its first home conference win of the season.

Kansas creeps closer to second conference title
BEN CARROLL
@Bcarroll91
Holding the nation's highest winning percentage, grasping onto a six-game winning streak and clinging to an undefeated conference record, the ninth ranked Kansas Jayhawks (14-1, 4-0) return to action this week end after Sunday's rare off-day. The Jayhawks will have two home games against arguably the two best teams in the Big 12.
"This is the first time we've
With just four games remaining in the regular season, the jayhawks are looking down on all other Big 12 teams in the standings and are seeking to inch closer to winning their second overall conference title and first since 2004. Kansas is coming off of its first ever victory on the road against Texas and will look to carry over that momentum into this weekend.
On Friday evening, Kansas kicks off against the Texas Tech Red Raiders (10-3-1, 1-1-1), who were projected to finish in second place in the Big 12, but is still winless in the conference. Tech was ranked ahead of many teams in the rankings early in the season, but has since dropped significantly. The Red Raiders are currently ranked No. 22 in the NSCAA poll. Kansas has won seven out of the last 10 matches between the two squads and will try to maintain its perfect conference record under the lights.
ever won at Texas in 20 years in the program," coach Mark Francis told KU Athletics on Sunday. "So these guys have done something that no other Kansas team has been able to do and hopefully we can keep that going."
On Sunday, Kansas will face off against its toughest match
of the season. The No.16 West Virginia (9-2-2, 2-0-1), who are in third place and were projected to win the Big 12 at the start of the season, venture to Rock Chalk Park hoping to gain ground on the conference-leading Jayhawks. The Mountaineers have been forceful in the Big 12 the last two years, winning two regular season conference titles and one Big 12 Tournament title in 2013. This season alone, WVU leads the Big 12 in shots, points, goals and assists.
"We got to get ready for next weekend," junior forward Ashley Williams told KU Athletics after the conclusion of Kansas' 1-0 victory in Austin, Texas on Friday. "It's good to celebrate tonight (Friday), but tomorrow (Saturday) we got to get ready for Friday."

THE DAILY DEBATE
Which freshman will have the biggest impact for Kansas basketball?
By Christian Hardy
@HardyNFL
"KELLY OUBRE, JR."
Freshman shooting guard Kelly Oubre Jr. is not Andrew Wiggins. He's not a guaranteed one-and-done. He may not be the best player on the roster, where Wiggins, to most, clearly was.
But Oubre has one thing that Wiggins didn't, and it's already gleamed in his time with the Kansas basketball team. It's his leadership.
During a two-day boot camp run by Marines last month, the award for best teammate and leader came down to three players: Wayne Selden Jr., Devonte Graham, and Oubre.
"You know, Kelly Oubre Jr. is going to be a good leader," coach Bill Self said.
And it wasn't just that one award that has proven Oubre's
leadership. Right when he arrived on campus and began working with the team, he's proven to be vocal, day-after-day, something that's not typically seen from a freshman.
Frequently in 2013, scouting reports of the Jayhawks' basketball team would come out naming Wiggins as the most talented prospect on the team, but reluctant as a leader. That proved to be true when Kansas got to the pinnacle of its season, failing to really find a voice that would lead the team.
the team.
As skill goes, Self did not slack off in his recruiting of a replacement for Wiggins. Oubre isn't far behind the first overall pick in the NBA draft in any aspect of his game, and a case can be made that Oubre is even more well-rounded than Wiggins.
Oubre started last season at No. 12 on Rivals' basketball rankings, and rose to No. 6 by the end of the year and continues to elevate his level of play. He specializes as shooting guard and small forward positions, but Self hopes to see him also post up and contribute as a power
forward, which Wiggins also had the ability to do.
The 6-foot-7 high school standout from Richmond, Texas, is a fantastic finisher around the rim, but specializes in 3-point shooting, and never hesitated to fire from the corners in high school. His freakish 7-foot-2 wingspan gives him an edge on defense, and at Late Night, that was on display.
Comparing Oubre to Cliff Alexander is splitting hairs. Both are some of the best prospects in the entire nation and both could be in the NBA at this time next year.
He started by poking a pass away for a steal early on, and in 16 minutes he had piled up five points, three boards, an assist and a block.
Considering that playing time for both isn't set in stone as we are weeks away from the season opener, I prefer Oubre, who has already proved to be a voice for the Jayhawks in the preseason, and will be crucial in filling the gap with Wiggins left.

"CLIFF ALEXANDER"
DAILY DEBATE RESULTS: OCTOBER 9,2014 Who has been the Royals' postseason MVP?
ERIC HOSMER: 56%
48 people polled
It is a well-known fact that the 2013-14 Kansas men's basketball team lacked toughness. There were more than a couple games that demonstrated this deficit. On a Dec. 10, 2013, bout against the University of Florida, the Jayhawks got punched in the mouth early and often and could not recover, eventually losing that game 61-67. In a January 5, 2014, home loss to San Diego State, Kansas was thoroughly outmuscled on rebounds and struggled to score in the game. The Jayhawks were outrebounded 51-39 in that game.
for his rim-rattling dunks, he is an elite rebounder and has a motor that won't stop running. Alexander will bring much needed energy to the 2014-15 Jayhawks team.
Let's start with Alexander's rebounding ability. Alexander uses his tremendous effort and 240-pound frame to outmuscle unfortunate opponents around the basket. In the 2014 Chicago high school championship, Alexander matched up with Jahlil Okafer, a current Duke Blue Devil and the No. 1 recruit in the 2014 class. Alexander helped his team win the game with 20 points and 12 rebounds. His rebounding efforts were a key part of that particular victory and will help the Jayhawks win this season.
VOTE FOR THE WRITER WITH THE MOST CONVINCING ARGUMENT AT KANSAN.COM
Thankfully, the Jayhawks now have a player who can add toughness and rebounding ability straight out of the gate. That player's name is Cliff Alexander. Coming out of Curie High School in Chicago, the freshman forward was the No. 4 ranked recruit in the class of 2014, according to Rivals.com. Often compared to a young Amar'e Stoudemire, Alexander plays with an infectious energy. Although he is best known
Alexander should have a season comparable to the one Julius Randle had last season. In his one and only season with the Kentucky Wildcats, Randle averaged 15 points and 10 rebounds while earning third-team All-American honors. Considering the nature of Kansas coach Bill Self's high-low offense, Alexander should get a great amount of touches and can have an even better season than Randle had. Like Randle, Alexander should impact the Jayhawks with high-energy rebounding and hustle-plays.
Alexander will affect the Jayhawks with his infectious energy, which often manifests itself in the form of rim-rocking dunks and impressive shot-blocking ability. When Alexander is in the vicinity of the basket, chances are high that he will try to dunk the basketball. Despite his 6-foot-9 size, Alexander is a very good shot-blocker. On a Jayhawks team without a player like Jeff Withey or Joel Embid, that shot-blocking ability will be very much needed to help round out the defense.
Center in Kansas City, Mo., junior forward Perry Ellis described how Alexander has benefited the team. "Cliff is a physical guy," Ellis said. "Going up against him (in practice) has really helped me."
THE BULLPEN. 44%
Alexander has also made an impression on some of the returning players. At Big 12 Media Days, which was held on Wednesday morning at the Sprint
Yes, the Jayhawks may have other freshmen who will greatly affect the team in this upcoming season. Kelly Oubre Jr. brings monstrous scoring ability. Devonte Graham brings leadership at point guard and Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk brings an excellent 3-point shooting ability. However, Alexander will make the biggest overall impact throughout the season and should be a key piece in the Jayhawks' quest for an 11th straight Big 12 Conference title and hopefully a national championship.

MAKING A MOVE
Film and Media Studies to relocate to Summerfield in fall 2016
ALANA FLINN
@af1_1212
The Film and Media Studies Department will move from Oldfather Studios, 1621 W. Ninth St., to Summerfield Hall beginning in the fall of 2016. The Undergraduate Studies' University Career Center will also be relocated to Summerfield Hall.
This move stems from the building of a new business school, which will open in fall of 2016 as the main business building.
Tracy Horstman, assistant vice provost of Capital Planning and Space Management, said she wants the move to allow film and media studies to be closer to campus and
the School of the Arts.
"Oldfather builds a separation and this is an opportunity to bring film onto campus and integrate them," Horstman said.

Louis Fehlig, a senior from Overland Park, said he hopes the move will make the film and media program more noticed on campus.
The Undergraduate Studies' career services will also be moved from the bottom floor of the Burge Union to Summerfield.

Brittany Koppers, a sophomore from Leawood, said she has attended classes in Summerfield and is looking forward to the upgrades.
"Summerfield is very dark and old," Koppers said. "It's not a very welcoming environment that's conducive for group studying and teamwork, which is a huge part of being a business student."
Brandon Cotter, a freshman from Dallas majoring in film and media studies, said he received an email that the school is in the process of

Fifteen men from the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity gathered Saturday at the home of Susan, a Lawrence resident, to build a wheelchair-accessible ramp for her.
Susan is the person partnered with Pi Kappa Phi through Natural Ties, a student-run nonprofit that connects student organizations with individuals with disabilities.
After Susan was placed in a wheelchair last spring, Cooper Seely, a sophomore from Wichita, saw the need for safer accessibility into Susan's home when he picked her up on Wednesdays for weekly Natural Ties events.
"It's our way of helping her out a little bit," Seely said.
The Pi Kappa Phi's national philanthropy, Ability Experience, awarded the fraternity men a grant that would reimburse the costs of building the ramp for up to $1,000. With a contractor from Eudora United Methodist Church's ministry Kingdom Builders to provide free labor, Seely said he estimated the cost to be around $500.
“[This was] a lot longer process than I was expecting, but it's exciting to finally see it come about,” Seely said. “It definitely couldn't have come soon enough for [the homeowner.] She's definitely not able to get around as well as she used to.”
A wheelchair-accessible ramp is being built for Strong Hall after the 2013- 2014 Student Senate voted on creating and funding additional accessible entrances.

Free HIV testing will return next semester
ALLISON CRIST
@AllisonCristUDK
The three groups that came together last week and provided 18 KU students with free HIV testing will be returning to the Union next semester.
Spectrum KU, Watkins Health Center and the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department collaborated to offer this complimentary testing at the Union. Students were able to receive their results within 15 minutes.
"Fifty percent of all college students will get at least one STI before they graduate,"
said Jenny McKee, health educator with Student Services at Watkins. "Anytime we're having a safe-sex conversation people need to listen."

Experts discuss Ukraine media coverage
JAMES LAMB
@TheJamesLamb
Jayhawks Without Borders hosted a panel Friday where they engaged in a discussion about the media's coverage of the conflict in Ukraine.
Presentations were about the different ways that the Ukrainian, American and Russian media have covered the situation. Presenters were Alex Tsiovkh, Russian, Eastern European and Eurasian Studies Professor of Ukrainian Studies; Bart Redford, Center for Russian and Eastern European Studies Assistant Director; and Raymond Finch, CREES Fellow.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
"Ukraine, Russia and the media [coverage], all that stuff is extremely relevant to today and interesting to students. They want to hear thoughts on that and discuss it," said Michael Wutrich, faculty advisor for Jayhawks Without Borders.

People walk past pro-Russian rebels in the town of Novoazovsk, eastern Ukraine on Saturday. The University hosted a panel of experts Friday, who discussed media coverage of the events in Ukraine.
More than 30 people attended the panel, intending to hear the discussion that focused on the way the media has portrayed the events in Ukraine since the mass protests in Kiev last November.
Tsiovkh talked about independent voices within Ukraine and the way the semantics of media reports can shape how audiences interpret a situation. Redford spoke about American media outlets and more specifically about domestically-based bias for both sides of politics, whereas Finch's presentation focused on revealing a lack of diversity in the media in Russia that is present in the other two parties.
"Anytime anyone is talking about conflict, we need to remember that the first casualty of war is the truth," Finch said during his presentation on Russian media. "Today, in Russia, nearly all the major TV, radio, newspaper and press services are indirectly controlled by the Kremlin."
Finch went on to speak about
how the U.S. government caused unrest in Ukraine and how it allowed for the creation of a narrative within Russian media. It seeks to spread chaos within the region in order to prevent Russia from re-emerging as a world superpower, he said.
Increasingly, this control was also spreading to online spaces and social media, but at least one student thought any Russian attempts to control online space would be unsuccessful.
"They [the presenters] said that access to the Internet is limited in Russia but there are certain ways that you can avoid some government restrictions, like mirror sites," said Gala Kornyiyenko, a first-year graduate student from the Ukraine. "This is what we used during the Orange Revolution in Ukraine [2004-05 protests against election fraud], when the government blocked websites and we couldn't get information that was not biased."
Though the panel primarily
focussed on media coverage, it did touch on political elements and how both Ukraine and Russia might act going forward. Korniyenko, who was in Kiev and was a participant in the protests almost a year ago when the current conflict began, has a strong perspective on what that future should be.
"Russia has to realize we are Ukrainians," she said. "We
have our culture, we have our language, we have our folk songs [and] traditions. But they think we are all like Soviet Union, one empire. We are not one empire. We have our own identity and we want to have democratic values. I don't know why it's so difficult to understand."

RAMPS FROM PAGE 1
The Americans with Disabilities Act requires the University to take steps to create a more accessible campus. To hold the University accountable, the Senate had collaborated with AbleHawks and Allies, a student group that advocates for a more accessible campus.
The ramp is to be completed by late October. On May 3, 2013, AbleHawks and Allies, Student Senate and the Office for Institutional Opportunity and Access asked students to enter Strong Hall through the rear entrance to raise awareness for the difficulties of individuals with disabilities; at the time, only the rear entrance was in wheelchair-accessible.

CDC to revise Ebola protocols for healthcare workers
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — Revised guidance for health care workers treating Ebola patients will include using protective gear "with no skin showing," a top federal health official said Sunday, and the Pentagon announced it was forming a team to assist medical staff in the U.S., if needed.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said those caring for an Ebola patient in Dallas were vulnerable because some of their skin was exposed.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is working on revisions to safety protocols.
Earlier ones, he said, were based on a World Health Organization model in which care was given in more remote places, often outdoors, and without intensive training for health workers.
"So there were parts about that protocol that left vulnerability, parts of the skin that were open," Fauci said.
The CDC guidance was expected as early as Saturday, but its release has been pushed back while it continues to go through review by experts and government officials.
Health officials had previously allowed hospitals some flexibility to use available covering when dealing with suspected
Ebola patients. The new guidelines are expected to set a firmer standard: calling for full-body suits and hoods that protect worker's necks, setting rigorous rules for removal of equipment and disinfection of hands, and calling for a "site manager" to supervise the putting on and taking off of equipment.
The guidelines are also expected to require a "buddy system," in which workers check each other as they come in and go out, according to an official who was familiar with the guidelines but not authorized to discuss them before their release.
Hospital workers also will be expected to exhaustively practice getting in and out of the equipment, the official said.
"... there were parts about that protocol that left vulnerability, parts of the skin that were open."

the body fluids, you've got to be completely covered," Fauci said. "So that's going to be one of the things ... to be complete covering with no skin showing whatsoever."
"Very clearly, when you go into a hospital, have to intubate somebody, have all of
The American Nurses Association and other groups have called for better guidance that sets clearer standards on what kind of equipment, how to put it on and how to take it off.
"We're disappointed that the recommendations are still not available," association president Pamela Cipriano said. "Having a lag in official direction from the CDC doesn't instill the greatest confidence in their ability to rapidly respond."
Cipriano said she understands the guidance will also include a call for anterooms, apart from the patient room, where protective equipment must be put on and taken off.
The push stems from the infection of two nurses at a Dallas hospital who treated an Ebola-infected patient named Thomas Eric Duncan — the first person diagnosed with the virus in the U.S.
The nurses, Nina Pham and Amber Joy Vinson, were diagnosed with Ebola less than a week later. Officials say how they were infected remains a mystery.

Being an environmentalist should not be polarizing
Last Sunday, I flipped on the radio for my daily National Public Radio intake and heard a captivating piece about how millennials do not identify as environmentalists. According to a March 2014 Pew Research study, only 32 percent of millennials, ages 18 to 33, identify as environmentalists. Although the study did not ask why, the NPR piece offered a few insights.
Young interviewees claimed the term "has been corrupted" and is "immediately polarizing." One girl went as far as to say she would not call herself an environmentalist "just anywhere."
Although the radio
piece was intriguing and insightful, I cringed at my peers' words reverberating through the car. Millennials must own the term environmentalist and shift its social construction from something negative to something unifying.
Darlene Murnan
The 1960s and '70s brought major strides for environmentalism such as widespread media coverage of industry pollution, the first Earth Day and sweeping federal environmental regulations.
However, roots of the environmentalist movement formed long before these events. In the 1800s, naturalists like Henry David Thoreau and John Muir dedicated their lives to understanding and

environmentalists followed in the intrepid footsteps of these men by fighting for the rights of nature.
Since then, national and international figures such as Rachel Carson, author of "Silent Spring," a book that exposed the chemical industry, and Chico Mendes, a Brazilian rainforest activist who was killed by agriculture supporters, relentlessly fought for the protection of the

voiceless environment. All of these people are environmentalists. All of these people sacrificed some part of themselves to protect the ecological integrity of the nation and world.
When millennials flippantly call themselves "social entrepreneurs," rather than environmentalists, they capitalize on the work and success of past naturalists without acknowledging any of the consequences and struggles they experienced.
Disregarding the term environmentalist disregards the history, integrity and strife of those who fought and won us luxuries such as clean water and air.
For all you millennials out there who ride
orkes to school, dream of solar panels on your future home and cringe at the term "clean coal," I implore you to own the term environmentalist and all of its connotations.
Acknowledge the hard-won battles of our past and work to change the social construction of the term environmentalist.
In no society should a term that, at its core, exemplifies harmony with all things, be considered polarizing or out of touch.
I am an environmentalist and I am not ashamed of the historic significance and weight of that title.

Moped riders must wear helmets
A few weeks ago, I spent a weekend visiting a friend in Fayetteville, Arkansas. I expected to be surrounded by cowboy boots and a desert, but was surprised to find myself in a beautiful region of the country that was hilly, open-spaced and green (with the city even having a "hipster" vibe). What surprised me most, though, was the amount of moped riders on the University of Arkansas' campus.
As a rider myself, I am pretty familiar with the moped culture in Lawrence. To me, it seems mopeds are slowly gaining popularity here, but still are not considered main modes of transportation.
A good number of people, especially students, ride them in nice weather, but I feel lonely in the winter when I'm the only one bundled up on this two-wheeled vehicle. I also noticed the people who do ride mopeds rarely, if ever, wear helmets.
By Sebastian Schoneich
@ThingsSebiSays
At the University of
Arkansas, I worried about the amount of mopedriders who weren't wearing helmets — which was basically all of them. Even though there are fewer mopedriders here, the same problem exists. Maybe people feel safe on campus because they equate riding a moped to riding a bike.
But whatever the case may be, the helmet-wearing culture needs to improve.
There can be several fatal, or near-fatal, incidents involving mopeds and bicycles. Two years ago as I was riding my moped on Iowa Street, I witnessed another moped rider get hit by a jeep; since then, I try to avoid main roads.
There is an inevitable risk involved with the pleasure of riding a moped, but wearing
a helmet reduces this risk. This is obvious to everyone, but continues to be neglected. So, I find it important to keep appealing to KU moped riders in order to improve a culture of precaution.
I've noticed that most helmets look "lame" or are too bulky to use with mopeds or even bikes, but it is easy to shop for a helmet you like with many cool options online.
It's also easy to convince yourself there is a small chance of anything really happening to you, especially if you're just riding on campus.
But in reality, most people who see you riding without a helmet will wonder why you're not wearing one.
Wearing a helmet is the least you can do for yourself, and can definitely be "cool," especially if you have a helmet with a design as wicked as my Italian flag target design.

Eating gluten free is a fad diet that must stop
If you walk down the aisles of any grocery store nowadays.
store nowadays, you may notice several of the items are marked gluten free. But having gluten-free foods was never the norm before, as it is today. Day by day, more people are jumping on the gluten-free diet bandwagon. It seems like everyone has a gluten allergy. Going gluten free isn't a lifestyle change, but a fad diet for at least 30 percent of adults, according to a 2013 study conducted by the NPD group.
Apart from those who physically cannot eat gluten, like those with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity, the majority of people who cut gluten out of their diet do it to lose weight. Just like other fad diets, the gluten-free diet will mostly shed water weight. Fad diets are advertised as being a fun, easy and fast way to lose weight.
Regardless of what the media or your peers say, most people need gluten to maintain a healthy diet. Consuming a balanced amount of whole grains can reduce your risk of heart disease, constipation and helps with weight management, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. By cutting out gluten from our diets, we are missing a large chunk of the food pyramid.
Besides the health concerns of going
By Madeline Umali
@madelineumali
gluten free, the diet can take a toll on your wallet. Gluten-free products are usually more expensive in comparison to other foods. Companies that sell gluten-free and organic products know they can raise the prices on their items because people will still purchase them. Instead of spending money on expensive, wheat-free food, you should spend your grocery money on food from every part of the food pyramid to maintain a healthy diet.
I know that as college students, we have all put on some version of the freshman 15, but you don't need to lose that weight by cutting out gluten. Although it can be beneficial for people with gluten sensitivity, it has turned into a fad diet technique that does more harm than good. Instead of trying to lose those last five pounds by cutting out wheat or starving yourself, maintain a healthy diet and exercise. We don't need to be going on extreme diets.

'Fury' shows horror of war from a tank
ALEX LAMB
@LambCannon
"Fury" opens in a decimated battlefield, with light peeking above the horizon as a German officer rides a white horse through the desolation. As he passes by some battle-torn tanks, Brad Pitt jumps off one to tackle the officer to the ground and stab him through the eye. It's a blunt and brutal start that immediately makes the stomach tighten in a film all about the violence, inhumanity and loss of war.
AUGUST 1943
Warddaddy (Pitt) leads the crew with a tough demeanor and a hardened, no-nonsense approach to the war. Bible (Shia LaBeouf) preaches God's word with Southern conviction, Grady (Jon Bernthal) flashes wild eyes and animalistic agro and Gordo (Michael Peña) brings both a lighter attitude and
While the horror of war is the main point of this World War II movie, the bond between the men who go through it holds the secondary focus. The crew of the Sherman tank named Fury has been together for most of the war and survived much longer than other crews. Although now, in April 1945, it has finally lost one of its own. The crew gets fresh-faced Norman (Logan Lerman) as the replacement assistant gunner, but he's merely a typist with no battlefield experience and an unwillingness to kill.
perceptive reminders of war's harsh realities.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
This photo released by Sony Pictures Entertainment shows, from left, Shia LaBeouf as Boyd "Bible" Swan, Logan Lerman as Norman, Brad Pitt as Sgt. Don "Wardaddy" Collier, Michael Pena as Trini "Gordo" Garcia, and Jon Benthal as Grady "Coon-Ass" Travis, in Columbia Pictures' "Fury."
Taking place over one long and hellish day during the last month before the Nazis' defeat, "Fury" finds the titular tank pushing through the German territory in intense battle sequences through fields, in a crumbling town and at a dark crossroad. Soldiers on both sides fall to gunfire and explosions. Sometimes they die quickly, sometimes they suffer the horrible carnage of body parts tearing off, some burn alive and more.
It's both shocking and gripping as writer and director David Ayer puts viewers right in the heat of bullets and rockets whizzing by in the desperate fight for life, using a dreary color palette that emphasizes the total ruin. Simultaneously, we see things from Norman's perspective as he loses his innocence. Images like a sheared face of a soldier, a fire-engulfed soldier shooting himself in the head and children hanged for not joining Hitler's forces leave a disturbing picture of war's unforgettable destruction.
While the characters of the crew seem stereotypical on the surface, Ayer writes them with enough rough-and-tumble authenticity and they're performed with a devotion of real brothers in arms. LaBeouf reminds us he can be a poignant actor, Jon Bernthal recalls the on-edge aggression he had as Shane in
"The Walking Dead" and Pena brings more gravitas than expected. Though Wardaddy has some similarities to Nazi scalper Aldo Raine from "Inglourious Basterds," Pitt doesn't just rehash that role with a dour outlook; he emanates honor and resigns himself to the cost of war while grounding himself with the tank and crew.
Lerman gives an impressive performance as Norman transforms from a scared pacifist to a brave member of the team. He and Pitt have some especially absorbing interactions together,
including a charged scene of Wardaddy forcing Norman to kill his first German, at point-blank range. After the U.S. soldiers capture a town and earn a reprieve from conflict, a lengthy scene of Wardaddy and Norman having a meal with two German women ensues. But the attempt at calm doesn't last long, showing normal living isn't part of life during war.
"Fury" reaches its most effective action with a heart-racing tank battle against a superior German tank. Though the battle following that in the last act is much
longer, bigger and more furious, Ayer oversteps the line of believability and suddenly this great war film about the haunting horrors of war turns into part of a "Call of Duty" mission. The emotion of the characters remains intact and it's certainly exciting to watch, but the ridiculous action reduces the impact of what came before.
As a result, "Fury" won't be a war classic, but it does manage a dark, thrilling and affecting journey through the hell of war.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA ANA, Calif. — When the mysterious people of China's Sanxingdui packed up and moved away 3,000 years ago, they left behind no written language and no indication of who they were, where they were going or why.
What they did leave was a gigantic cache of intricately fabricated, larger-than-life bronze art works — each created at a time during which historians doubted technology even existed to make a bronze on such a grand scale.
They also left several dozen elephant tusks, in an area where elephants were not believed to have been introduced yet.
For whatever reason these objects were made and then discarded, they themselves
are moving now, just as their creators did three millennia ago, and will go on display Sunday at Southern California's Bowers Museum, the first stop on a rare U.S. tour.

to uncrate a 125-pound companion piece — a floppyeared, bug-eyed bronze "mask" about the size of a sofa.
"China is full of mysteries, but to me this is China's greatest mystery," Keller continued as he gazed at the mask that contained a smile as enigmatic as the Mona Lisa's. "Who were these people and where did they go?"
That's a mystery that's been bugging archaeologists since Chinese bricklayers stumbled across the treasures in 1986, said Suzanne Cahill an authority on ancient Chinese civilizations and the exhibition's curator.
"Wow, 1200 B.C. people are doing stuff like that and we think we're so technically evolved," she said. "It's kind of humbling, actually."

South Korean concert planner of deadly show found dead
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Police officers investigate around a collapsed ventilation grate in Seongnam, South Korea, on Saturday. Sixteen people watching an outdoor pop concert in South Korea fell 60 feet to their deaths Friday when a ventilation grate they were standing on collapsed, officials said.
A South Korean man involved in planning an outdoor pop concert where 16 people were killed after falling through a ventilation grate was found dead Saturday in an apparent suicide, officials said, as doctors treated eight others facing life-threatening injuries from the disaster.
The man, 37, an employee of the Gyeonggi Institute of Science and Technology Promotion, was found dead at around 7 a.m. in Seongnam, the city south of Seoul where Friday's accident occurred, said city spokesman Kim Nam-jun.
The site of his death was not far from where 16 people watching a performance by 4Minute, a girls band that is popular across Asia, were killed when the ventilation grate they were standing on collapsed. Eleven other people were seriously injured.
Gyeonggi Institute of Science and Technology Promotion was one of the sponsors of the concert, which was organized by the news site Edaily and was part of a local festival. About 700 people had gathered to watch the concert, which was abruptly halted after the accident happened.
In a televised briefing on Saturday, Kim said there was a possibility that the death toll from the accident
It was believed that the man, who was questioned by police Friday night over the accident, leaped from the top of a 10-story building, police inspector Park Jeongju said.
could rise. Of the 11 people treated at hospitals, eight were dealing with life-threatening injuries to the abdomen or lungs, he said.
Most of those who were killed were men in their 30s and 40s, while five were women in their 20s and 30s, fire officials said.
Photos of the accident scene showed a deep concrete shaft under the broken grate. Kim said it was believed that the grate collapsed under the weight of the people.
Dozens of people were shown standing next to the ventilation grate, gazing into the dark gaping hole where
people had been standing to watch the performance. YTN said the ventilation grate was about 3 to 4 meters (10 to 12 feet) wide. Photos apparently taken at the scene showed that the ventilation grate reached to the shoulders of many passers-by.
The collapse came as South Korea is still struggling with the aftermath of a ferry disaster in April that left more than 300 people dead or missing.
For a time, the sinking jolted South Korea into thinking about safety issues that had been almost universally overlooked
as the country rose from poverty and war to an Asian power.
The tragedy exposed regulatory failures that appear to have allowed the ferry Sewol to set off with far more cargo than it could safely carry. Family members say miscommunications and delays during rescue efforts doomed their loved ones.
Analysts say many safety problems in the country stem from little regulation, light punishment for violators and wide ignorance about safety in general — and a tendency to value economic advancement over all else.

The Kansas Band played "Row Row Row Your Boat" while the cheerleaders danced along on Saturday morning as hundreds of athletes and fans gathered at the University of Kansas Boathouse along the Kansas River.
The KU Women's rowing team hosted its second Jayhawk Jamboree on the Kansas River on Saturday. The jamboree is only the second home regatta the rowing team has held since 2005.
Women's rowing teams from Kansas State, University of Tulsa, Drake University and University of Iowa all participated in the event along with several men and women's club teams.
The Jayhawks finalized their roster just a couple of weeks ago, adding 19 novice members to the team. The regatta was the team's first event this season.
The women's varsity squads placed seventh and eighth in
the women's Varsity Eight race (out of 14 teams), along with sixth, eleventh and eighteenth in the Women's Varsity Four (out of 23 teams). The novice squads took fourth and sixth in the Women's Novice Eight (out of 13 teams) and third, sixth and seventh in the Women's Novice Four (out of 14 teams).
"It was so nice to compete at home in front of a home crowd."
ANGIE ALLEN
Freshman from Waterloo, Iowa
This is one of the rare opportunities the team has to compete in front of a home crowd. "It was so nice to compete at home in front of a home crowd," said Angie Allen, a freshman from Waterloo, Iowa. "We could really feel the support of our fans especially when they were loud and
cheering for us."
the Jayhawk Jamboree is one of two fall regattas that the team will participate in. They will travel to Chattanooga, Tenn., for the Head of the Hooch competition on Nov. 1.
Allen also added that a majority of the Jayhawk novices are freshmen who have little to no experience rowing. Other schools, including Kansas State, redshirt their freshmen to give them more experience before they compete on the novice team as sophomores.
"Seeing how close we were to beating them today is really encouraging, especially since we're freshmen and they're sophomores," Allen said.
Maggie Hornick, a junior from Lansing, Kan., is excited to see what the rest of the season will look like after positive results from these races.
"Today gave us a good baseline for the rest of the season," Hornick said. "And seeing how well we did today, that's really encouraging."

Untimely goals culprit to Kansas' winless weekend
BEN CARROLL
@BCarroll91
Coming into the weekend with the nation's highest winning percentage, holding on to a six game winning streak and sitting on top of the Big 12, the No.9 Kansas soccer team dropped a pair of games this weekend and now sit in third place in the conference.
On Friday, the Jayhawks (4-2, 14-3) hosted the Texas Tech Red Raiders (2-3-1, 12-3-1), but a goal in the corner of the net that was struck with just 55 seconds to go in the first half spoiled the game for Kansas as Texas Tech won the match 1-0.
it came at a really poor time," senior defender Caroline Van Slambrouck said of Friday night's lone goal. "It's always hard because we built up a lot of momentum and it's always hard when there's a counterattack and it goes the
other way."
Despite not being able to tie the game, the Jayhawks battled back strong in the second half, according to Van Slambrouck, but the effort wasn't enough. The Jayhawks were unable to score in the second half and the Red Raiders won the game 1-0, handing Kansas its second loss of the season and first in the Big 12.
With Friday night's match not going as planned for Kansas, the Jayhawks needed a win to stay ahead of the rest of the pack in the Big 12.
The defending Big 12 champion West Virginia Mountaineers (4-0-1, 11-2-2) journeyed to Lawrence for the highly-anticipated match between arguably the best two conference teams this season. Coming off of the loss on Friday, the Jayhawks were looking to get back on track, but yet another inopportune goal was too much for
Kansas to overcome as it lost its second straight game.
The Mountaineers' forward Kate Schwindel scored what would eventually be the game-winner off a corner kick in just the fifth minute of play.
KU
"The goal off the corner was just really disappointing for us," coach Mark Francis said. "It's the first one we've given up of a corner kick all year. We just weren't very quick to react to it, so that was a disappointing way to begin the game."
Schwindel added her second score of the day in the 77th minute, which put the match out of reach for the Jayhawks. West Virginia won 2-0.
However, the score wasn't indicative of how close the match actually was. Kansas outplayed West Virginia for most of the match, especially in the second half, which Francis said was the best half he's seen out of his players all season. The Moun-
Sophomore defenderTayler Estrada beats her defender down the field and looks for an open teammate.
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
"I was really proud of my kids today." Francis said. "That's as well as we've played as a Kansas soccer team in many, many years."
tainees had nine shots to Kansas' seven, and also fouled two more times than the Jayhawks.
Francis said they have got to focus on next weekend now and carry over the pos-
ittives from this weekend to finish strong and get the final six points remaining on the schedule.
Even though the Jayhawks lost both games over the weekend, junior midfielder Liana Salazar thinks Kansas is still playing well but needs to regroup and keep pushing forward heading into senior night
against Iowa State on Friday.
"I think we're playing good, and today we dominated the game in the second half but unfortunately we couldn't score," Salazar said. "I think we're playing, right now, our best soccer."

Sporting KC falls to Union, drops in playoff standings
CHRISTIAN HARDY
@HardyNFL
With less than two weeks until the opening round of the MLS playoffs, Sporting Kansas City dropped out of the top two spots of the Eastern Conference seeding by conceding a 2-1 loss to the Philadelphia Union on Saturday night.
Kansas City's 229-minute shutout streak came to an end as Philadelphia rookie Brian Brown got on the other end of a cross from Christian
Maidana following a turnover in the midfield. Sporting KC missed a handful of opportunities in the first half, including two from leading scorer Dom Dwyer, and went into half trailing 1-0. The team didn't put a shot on target until the second half.
Sporting KC pulled level with a penalty kick from Dwyer just seven minutes into the second half as Soony Saad was brought down by the goalkeeper on a run into the box. Dwyer tied Preki's club record for penalty kicks in a
single season with seven, and now sits alone with the most goals across all competitions in club history (23).
The penalty kick, along with a 57th minute shot from Saad, were the only two shots on goal from Sporting KC all night long. Union rookie Pedro Ribeiro was subbed into the match in the 71st minute for Philadelphia and on his second touch, he fired a shot past goalkeeper Eric Kronberg. The 2-1 score stood for the remainder of the time. On top of its sinking playoff position after the loss, Sporting KC is up to its neck in injuries, and will hobble into its final match in both the CONCACAF Champions League (CCL) on Thursday, and the MLS regular season on Sunday.
Vermes was able to place Aurelien Collin back on the pitch, though it's uncertain if he's back to his full form after missing the last couple of games.
Defender Matt Besler (thigh), striker Claudio Bieler (groin), and goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum (calf) were all unable to play in the loss on Saturday. Manager Peter Vermes also decided to give Graham Zusi some rest after his appearance with the
national team in a friendly against Honduras last week, though he was listed as a substitute.
The team will be in Costa Rica to close out CCL play on Thursday. Kansas City will qualify for the elimination round of the tournament with a win, draw, or a loss by one goal.
Three days later, Sporting KC (14-7-12, 49 points) will close out MLS regular season play with a game against the New York Red Bulls (12-11-9, 47 points). A win will clinch the No.3 seed for the playoffs. Any other result does not guarantee any position for Kansas City.
A No. 4 or No. 5 seeding would place the team in the knockout round, with the winner moving on to play No.1 DC United.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: How many tackles has Ben Heeney averaged per game this season?
A. 12
Ben Heeney making mark on season

THE MORNING BREW
Ben Heeney arrived in Lawrence in 2011 as a young,6-foot, 195-pound freshman from
195-pound freshman from Hutchinson. As the No. 12 recruit from the state of Kansas, Heeney left the home of the Salthawks for the land of the Jayhawks having only been offered to play at one other school Colorado State University.
By Sam Davis
@Davis Samuel
In high school, Heeney stood out on both offense and defense. In addition to his 143 tackles and four interceptions on defense, Heeney rushed for more than 2,000 yards and 39 touchdowns on his way to earning all-state honors as a running back. He transitioned from a standout player in high school to a mostly irrelevant freshman in college former coach Turner Gill. In his first year with the Jayhawks, Heeney played in all 12 regular season games but finished with
only eight tackles.
But after that first year, something clicked. Heeney followed up his eight-tackle season with 112 tackles, 11.5 for losses and a sack in 2012 on his way to being named to the All-Big 12 Second Team.
His standout season as a sophomore resulted in Heeney being named to multiple award watch lists in 2013. During his third season at Kansas, Heeney accumulated 87 tackles, again
11. 5 for losses, two sacks and three interceptions as once again he was named to the All-Big 12 Second Team.

Now Heeney is in the midst of his final year at Kansas and has been tackling his way toward what could be his best season yet.
Throughout the team's
THE BREW
first seven games, Heeney has collected 84 tackles, only three shy of his total tackle count in 2013. That number puts him on pace for 144 tackles this season. On Saturday against Texas Tech, Heeney recorded a career-best 21 tackles, including 10 tackles in the first quarter alone.

Doubles duo heads to ITA Regional semifinals
SKYLAR ROLSTAD
@SkyRolSports
The Jayhawk tennis team has impressed at its second-to-last tournament of the fall season, the ITA Regional Tournament Central Division in Stillwater, Okla.
After defeating a Wichita State duo yesterday, 8-3, senior Maria Belen Ludueña and junior Maria Cardona have advanced to the semifinals of the main doubles draw that will take place today at 10 a.m. With a win, the pair will play in the final later today. Ludueña and Cardona will face Oklahoma State's No. 6-seeded team of Katarina Adamovic and Vladika Babic in the semifinal round.
"I feel like this tournament has been our best this fall," coach Todd Chapman said. "We were able to play a lot of quality matches and our doubles play has come a long way since the start of the year."
Kansas sent 10 players to the regionals. Luduea and Cardona were the only players placed straight into the main singles draw, while the rest had to play through two rounds of qualifying.
Freshmen Madison Harrison, Smith Hinton and Summer Collins each won both of their qualifying matches in the singles draw. Sophomore Jasmine Almaguer and freshman Rachel McNeely both lost in qualifying matches but recorded wins in the consolation bracket. Collins returned from illness to play in her first competition of the year.
"I feel like this tournament has been our best this fall."

Tennis coach
Hinton improved her singles record to 6-3 this weekend, while Ludueña advanced to the quarterfinal in the singles draw before losing to Adamovic. Luduená's singles record is currently 6-4. She and Hinton lead the team in singles play.
Chapman was pleased at his
team's performance in doubles matches, which he pointed out as something his team needed to work on earlier in the fall.
"When you have as many young players as we have, a lot of them haven't been taught very many doubles techniques and strategies." he said. "So, we have really worked on basics and situational strategies."
Hinton and Harrison advanced to the round of 16 in the main doubles draw. Neither Kansas doubles pair was seeded in the top eight.
Ludueña was knocked out early in her last tournament. She spoke on Friday about the benefit of playing matches in practice before this weekend's
"I was really close to making the semifinal last year [at Regionals]," she said. "So now, I just want to focus on the process and my tennis. If I bring all these things together I'm sure I can do great things."

This is the longest tournament of the year so far for the Jayhawks, spanning over four days.
Kansas will send four players to its next tournament, the Houston Invitational, hosted by the University of Houston. The team will then be finished with the fall half of the season and begin playing its main spring season in January.

COMMENTARY
Heeney helps make up for dull secondary
By Shane Jackson
@jacksonshane3
It has been the Kansas secondary that has been profiled as the strength of the 2014 Jayhawks. For a defense that often has to carry the weight from a stagnant offense, the secondary gets more praise than any other unit.
Back in his first press conference as a defensive coordinator this season, interim coach Clint Bowen compared this year's unit to the legendary 2008 Orange Bowl tandem of defensive backs.
For the most part, this secondary has walked the walk for much of the season by keeping opposing attacks to a minimum. That was until it faced Texas Tech (3-4) in a 34-21 loss Saturday.
Red Raiders quarterback Davis Webb torched the Jayhawks secondary for 288 yards and three touchdowns on 44 pass attempts. Ten different Red Raiders ended up with a catch.
Keeping the Jayhawk defense from being overexposed was senior linebacker Ben Heeney, who had a career day in Lubbock. Texas.
Heeney has lined up at middle linebacker for four years now and has been the face of the defense for three. His 8.3 solo tackles per game this year gives him a strong argument for being an All-American.
Heeney finished with 21 tackles (17 solo) on the day. His 21 tackles marks the most by a Kansas player since LeRoy Irvine had 21 in 1979 against Missouri. Heeney was five shy of tying the FBS record for most tackles in a game, a feat set by Bob Crabler of Notre Dame in 1979.
With Heeney leading the way, Bowen will look to get a conference win in his remaining five-game audition. If he's successful, it could likely help remove his interim tag and make him the head coach of Kansas football.
Even if Bowen is fortunate enough to land his dream job, he will have a challenge replacing a load of seniors on the defensive side of the ball. But without question the biggest test of all will be replacing No. 31 in the middle.
— Edited by Ben Carroll
The senior linebacker out of Hutchinson had 10 stops alone after one quarter of play. He had 14 through two, leaving him one shy of his previous career high of 15 he set last season against Rice.
His performance poses an even bigger question going forward: How will Kansas replace him?
Thanks to Heeney's 21-tackle day, which is the most by any defensive player in the conference this year, Kansas remained intact and kept the Jayhawks in the game down to the wire.

Heeney also intercepted one of Webbs passes late in the first half, returning it 37 yards to set up a Kansas score that cut the deficit down to 10 just before the half.

Sophomore helps Kansas sweep TCU, move up to fourth in Big 12
Sophomore middle blocker Tavler Soucie spikes the ball in the victory against TCU on Saturday. Soucie set career highs in kills (16), hit percentage .652) and aces (2).
CHRISTIAN HARDY
@HardyNFL
it was only 15 days ago when the Kansas volleyball team (15-5, 3-3) lost its third consecutive match in the Big 12, plummeting to last in the conference.
But the preseason pick to finish No. 2 in the Big 12 this season took another step toward renovating its record Saturday afternoon with a convincing three-set triumph against Texas Christian University (12-9, 2-5) and its third straight win.
The Jayhawks took the first set 25-17 behind 20 kills, then controlled the next two sets for 25-19 set wins. The team finished with 58 kills on the day, including a combined 26 from middle blockers Tayler Soucie and Kelsie Payne. The
win bumped the Jayhawks to No.4 in the Big 12 standings.
"We thought if we had a really good week,we could get right back into the top half of the Big 12 standings," coach Ray Bechard said after the team's first conference home win. "And we've done that."
Soucie, a sophomore, posted career highs in kills (16), hit percentage (.652) and aces (2), while freshman Payne chipped in 10 kills and a .556 hit percentage. The two combined for only one error and a .610 hit percentage on the day. Soucie now has 27 kills over
The Jayhawks played arguably their best offensive game of the season, as they posted a .408 hit percentage — their highest number this season, with the middle heavily contributing to that.
the past two matches and no errors to show for her attack-minded role.
"We're starting to play with more emotion and energy, and that's really helped us excel to the next level."
SARA MCCLINTON Senior outside hitter
"Soucie had her best match of the year, by far," Bechard said. "If you can get balance in the middle, it's going to make you tough to defend. We've been relying too much on (Chelsea) Albers and (Sara) McClinton and (Tiana) Dockery, and today we got that balance that we need to be a really effective offensive team."
In the days between Kansas past three wins, Bechard worked with freshman setter Ainise Havili to get the middle of the court — Souci and Payne — more involved. Havili posted 15 assists per set Saturday, nearly four above her average, for a total of 45.
"That's been a big thing for me — trying to get Ainise to trust me and know that I can hit a ball, I can score for our team," Soucie said. "We have a goal of how many sets we want to get to our middles and how many we want to get to our outsides. Balancing that is what we're trying to do."
Senior outside hitter Sara McClinton pitched in 12 kills in the match, while senior Chelsea Albers and junior Tiana Dockery each tallied eight.
The Jayhawks hit on all cylinders against a slumping TCU team Saturday. They lost their lead only four times in front of a crowd of 1,300 at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center, and the final scores came in closer than the play on the court let on. Now at 3-3 in the conference and two-thirds of the way through the season, Kansas — a队 filled to the bras with underclassmen — is starting to find its footing and mesh together in Big 12 play.
"We're really coming together as a team," McClinton said. "We're starting to play with more emotion and energy, and that's really helped us excel to the next level."

Cummings, Heeney nearly lead Kansas to upset

Michael Cummings and the offense looked almost unstoppable on a drive late in the third quarter Saturday. The junior quarterback, who was making his second start this season, led a drive from Kansas' 19-yard line all the way to the end zone.

Texas Tech's Dylan Cantrell is tackled by Kansas' Ben Heeney during Saturday's game in Lubbock, Texas. Heeney had a career-high 21 tackles.
Along the way, he was 2-for-2 for 59 yards. He found tight' end Jimmy Mundine for a 24-yard gain. To set up the score, he threw a perfect pass to wide receiver Nigel King that went for 35 yards to the Texas Tech 2-yard line. Two plays later, Cummings carried the ball himself for the touchdown.
nat set up the layhawks' first touchdown late in the first half.
At that point, the Jayhawks were down 21-27 to the Red Raiders but had a lot of momentum on their side.
"The kid goes out and plays as hard as he can," Kansas interim coach Clint Bowen said. "True leader of our team and really exactly what you'd want to see any football player on any team play like. The guy plays the game with his heart and soul."
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The offense was starting to click, but Kansas ended up falling on the road 34-21.
"You've got to be able to execute the little things to make the big things happen," Cummings said. "We came up short on a couple of instances."
Linebacker Ben Heeney, a senior from Hutchinson and a team captain, had a career day with 12 tackles, 17 of them solo. He even picked up his first interception of the season
However, it wasn't enough.

Webb threw a pass that hit McDonald square in the chest. McDonald turned to run the other way when he realized the ball was no longer in his hands.
"... there's differences when you get blown out compared to when it's a close game, but a game like this and a game like last week, these ones hurt."
Early in the first quarter, before the Jayhawks knew how close the game would be late, junior cornerback Dexter McDonald dropped a near-certain interception. Texas Tech quarterback Davis
The Kansas secondary is normally solid for the Jayhawks, but had some lapses Saturday. Three different Texas Tech receivers caught touchdowns. Jakeem Grant and Brad Marquez each had six catches. Webb finished the game with 28 completions on 44 attempts for 288 yards, three touchdowns and one interception.
The Jayhawks left Lubbock, Texas, thinking about their missed opportunities and what might have happened if a few things had gone differently.
Texas Tech running back DeAndre Washington had 23 carries for 164 yards, which was a career high. He was able to find holes and run for first downs in the fourth quarter when Kansas was trying to get the ball back.
"We gave DeAndre Washington quite a few yards," Bowen said. "I don't want to take credit away from the kid. He runs hard and plays nice, but we knew the play they were running, and we didn't stop it."
Cummings completed 20 out of 32 passes for 235 yards. He threw for two touchdowns and one interception. He also had the rushing touchdown. Overall, his quarterback rating was 138.6, the highest for a Kansas quarterback this season.
One area Kansas really struggled with was converting short third and fourth down situations. Last week, Bowen's decision to not go for it on fourth down was questioned.

chances out of 14.
Senior tight end Jimmy Mundine had another productive game, especially
catching passes in the middle of the field. He was the leading receiver in the game with seven receptions for 82 yards and a touchdown.
Nick Harwell caught three passes for 45 yards and Justin McCay had two catches, one of which was a touchdown grab in the third quarter.
"I'm disappointed after every game we lose," Heeney said. "I mean, there's differences when you get blown out compared to when it's a close game, but a game like this and a game like last week, these ones hurt."

Two days after Christmas in 2012, Angel and Gregory Reeves were on their way to buy groceries in Pleasant Hill, Mo., when they received a phone call from the doctor's office. "Is someone with you? Can you come in?" They did not know it yet, but their world was about to drastically change.
The Reeves' oldest son, KU sophomore Adam Reeves, said the whole family was worried following the phone call on that otherwise ordinary day. Once Angel and Gregory came home, they sat all of their children down to give them the news.
"It was a shift in gravity kind of feeling." Adam said. "From that point on, everything changed priority wise and the way the world was going to work until mom was better."
Angel had been diagnosed with breast cancer.
Just seven weeks before, Angel had given birth to her sixth child, a baby girl. After the pregnancy, Angel developed a golf ball-sized lump in her breast. A couple weeks before Christmas, Angel had the lump removed, being told the lump was not cancerous. The doctors were wrong.
["My daughter] came into the world in a hurry and started us on this crazy journey," Angel said.
The Reewes' contacted the University of Kansas Hospital for a second opinion and were told that Angel's cancer was triple negative, a more aggressive form of breast cancer. The hospital insisted Angel begin chemotherapy treatment as soon as possible.
Her family and doctors convinced her to begin treatment. But that did not stop Angel. Even on treatment days, Angel continued to come home to look after her kids, Adam said.
"Whether she really felt like it or not, that's just her personality," Adam said. "To be incredibly strong and having these issues in all honesty highlighted it to all of us how hard she was going to work."
When she could, Angel searched for scholarship opportunities for Adam. Adam said after finding out about his mother's diagnosis, she said something positive might come out of it for him. It didn't take long for her prediction to come true, as Adam was awarded the Ulman Cancer Foundation for Young Adults Scholarship in 2013.
"It's exactly like her. Instead of worrying about herself and being mopey about it, she's going to make some positive out of it," Adam said.
As a mom and homemaker, Angel takes pride in supporting and taking care of her family. She always got up in the mornings and took care of her kids, continuing even during treatments. One of Angel's methods for coping with treatment was to make small goals for herself every day, like making sure all the beds were made.
"We just tried to keep things normal as possible for everybody because I didn't want them to see any huge changes or for it to affect them negatively" Angel said. "I wanted them to see that it could be OK and they didn't have to worry about things."
On normal days, Angel's husband, Gregory, would take the
kids to school, which allowed Angel to sleep while her baby did. Just 12 weeks into her newborn's life, Angel could not lift or carry her.
"That was really hard," Angel said. "We had this new baby and I felt like I couldn't do much with her."
Angel said Adam helped with the kids and took them wherever they needed to be. This responsibility was a big one, but he knew he had to carry it for his mother.
"It was that first feeling I ever had that I can do this no matter what because I need to do it for someone I love. It was a very different leadership feeling [than] I've ever had before," Adam said.
Angel also struggled with her treatment. After completing several rounds of chemotherapy, Angel began to lose her hair.
The transition was difficult for both Angel and Adam. Adam said he remembers the day she cut it off and began wearing wigs. After that point, Angel never saw herself without a wig on.
"I remember feeling really bad because I felt like it was my fault. Just being there and being able to be strong for her when she was not feeling herself and not letting my emotion mess with that so that I could be strong for her," Adam said. "It's a sobering experience to say the least."
"She'd close her eyes to put on the wig and she'd never see herself bald," Adam said. "It was a lot of work to make her realize it was OK and she was still beautiful and it didn't matter what she looked like at that point in time."
Angel had her last chemotherapy treatment the first week of
him. In 2013, the family traveled to Lawrence in preparation for Adam's freshman year. Angel received chemo the day before and the day's activities took a toll on her body. She passed out at one point during the day, Adam said.
On not-so-normal days,
Adam said it was hard to not

Student Senate works to change priority enrollment
MIRANDA DAVIS
@MirandaDavisUDK
Student Senate has started a project that, if successful, would give priority enrollment to students at the University who are also parents.
Senate executives have a meeting with Hilltop Child Development Center this Thursday, which will be the last step before taking the idea to the registrar's office.
If implemented, the University would be the first in the Big 12 to offer this option to student-parents. Senators have been doing research into initiatives like this at other schools and have only found a small amount of smaller colleges. No large state schools have done this yet and the University would be on the forefront of this policy.
VII
Morgan Said, student body president, said many parents at the University have hectic schedules and this would make one piece a little easier.
"I think parenting alone is probably the hardest job the in world so to pair that with school and in most cases a job is such a tough balancing act and many students have reached out to me since we started this, indicating their excitement about this." Said said.
Jeremy Fite, executive director of Hilltop Child Development Center, said he is excited about the initiative and said it help parents graduate as soon as possible.
"It would be nice to have our parents get priority enrollment because I think it keeps them motivated and get them enrolled in classes quicker," Fite said. "The easier you make it on parents the more likely they are to graduate, so by providing priority enrollment for classes, plus we offer child care, we are trying to be as convenient as possible to parents to increase the likelihood they will finish their degree."
The policy would help alleviate stress many student-parents feel when organizing class and child care schedules each semester.
"Life happens, especially when you have children, so you want to get done as quickly as possible," Fite said.
Said said the decision to work on this came this summer while working on platforms for non-traditional students at the University. She said this was a great first step, but that the office hopes to continue to work with smaller groups of non-traditional students to help meet their needs on campus.
"No group is too small (for us) to really work to change their four years here and that's our goal." Said said.

Greek task force wants to take action concerning sexual assault issues
FRANK WEIRICH/KANSAN
Students from FUJI attend the Greek sexual assault committee Monday. KU greek students met in the Big 12 Room at the Union to discuss preventative measures that could be taken to limit sexual assault, and promote Greek responsibility.
Senior Psychology major Colin Thomas starts the discussion on greek sexual assault on Monday. The Panhellenic Association and Interfraternity Association collaborated to create framework for future sexual assault programming for new member education in the greek system.

A Greek task force held its first meeting Monday night to discuss how the Greek community can address sexual assault.
The presidents of the KU Panhellenic Association and Interfraternity Council gave reports on sexual assault and the task force was updated on Student Senate discussions. Members also talked about the future of the task force.
The Panhellenic Association and Interfraternity Council have come together to create a framework for additional sexual assault programming, which will be part of a new member education that each chapter will be able to personalize. The programs will address prevention and awareness of sexual assault, as well as how the house will deal with it.
The greek task force will be involved in reviewing these programs, as well as looking at other measures each house is taking to address sexual assault.
Panhellenic Association and a senior in Chi Omega from Olathe. "It also lets us be more self-governing, so there's no excuse for letting it happen or not speaking up."
Young said she believes addressing sexual assault at a chapter level will be the most effective way to promote change.
"It will help hold us to a higher standard by creating more programming, awareness and education," said Maggie Young, president of the KU
"We're a smaller group, and we recognize that we have the power to manage it within our own facilities," Young said. "It's necessary because what we've done in the past isn't working, so we are taking an extra step to ensure we eradicate the problem from the community."
Young said one of the goals
of the task force is to show that the greek community is taking an active stance in the issue and will be accountable.
"This way everyone can be aware of what we're doing to tackle it." Young said.
Morgan Said, student body president and a senior in Pi Beta Phi from Kansas City, Mo., said action within
the greek community will encourage discussion, education and change.
"The greek community wants to ensure it keeps up with the rest of campus," Said said.

Daisy Hill dorm construction is on schedule
100
JAMES HOYT/KANSAN
Green siding is attached to the exterior of the new residence halls on Daisy Hill on Oct.17 in preparation for work during the winter.The dorms are projected to be completed on schedule by July 2015.
KELSIE JENNINGS
@kelcjennings
Construction of the two new freshman dorms on Daisy Hill is on schedule, said Director of Student Housing Diana Robertson. The project has been going smoothly and they haven't had any setbacks.
Construction began earlier this spring starting with the removal of the parking lot across from Lewis and Hashinger halls. Since then, the steel structures of the two new halls have been put up, with construction workers currently completing the fifth and third floors of the north and south halls, respectively.
The main focus is to get both of the halls raised to five stories and enclosed before snow hits, Robertson said. Then the work on the interior of the buildings will continue throughout winter.
"it's certainly inconvenient, but it's not too big of a deal. I understand that stuff has to get done."
JOHN GREENOUGH Freshman from Tulsa, Okla.
Students living on Daisy Hill, particularly in Hashinger and Lewis, have front row seats to the construction progress and have noticed the changes since moving in two months ago. Some students have said they haven't been too inconvenienced by the project, but one minor annoyance is the noise.
Jennie Kohl, a freshman from Spring Hill, lives in Lewis in a room facing the construction. She said the construction usually gets started between 7 and 8 a.m.
"It's gone by pretty fast, in my
opinion, but it's kind of annoying," Kohl said. "It wakes me up pretty early."
John Greenough, a freshman from Tulsa, Okla., lives in Hashinger, but his room faces the campus so he hasn't been bothered by the loud noises, but he's heard other people complain.
"It's certainly inconvenient,
but it's not too big of a deal. I understand that stuff has to get done," he said.
Aside from the noise and having Engel Road relocated, students on Daisy Hill have little to complain about with the dorm construction. Some students have mentioned the inconvenience of turned off water mains, which resulted
in some students not being able to take showers for a short time last week.
"The entire building reeked because the toilets were down," Greenough said of Hashinger.
The dorms are scheduled to be completed by July of 2015, Robertson said. The dorms will be for freshmen only, but the common area that will connect the two halls will be open to all students.

Robertson said the shut off was scheduled and announced and that the water had been shut off so they could connect the new water lines to the old
ones.
FROM CANCER PAGE
June 2013, followed shortly by a mastectomy. Several months later, she had her final reconstruction surgery, during which no cancer could be found.
"I never doubted that it was going to be gone," Angel said. "I never had this overwhelming fear that we were going to go in and get any other news besides that."
Adam said through it all, his mother's strength is what allowed her to keep fighting.
"If she wouldn't have been able to handle as much, I don't know how we would have been able to help boost her morale if she hadn't helped herself like she did," Adam said. "In all honesty, she's just a miracle."
Still cancer free and celebrating her youngest daughter's second birthday this year, Angel admits the possibility of cancer coming back comes to mind from time to time. This past summer, she caught a stubborn cough and saw a doctor. Angel had a computerized tomography scan done to make sure no cancer had spread or grown into her lungs. Luckily the results were negative.
"Of course that nagging is still always in your head if it's going to come back or not," Angel said. "It's just behind us and hopefully we don't have to go through anything like that again."
Although Angel said it was by no means a fun experience, breast cancer was not as menacing as she had thought it would be. When it comes to defeating it, she said even the smallest acts of kindness from others can help.
"I hope people aren't completely fearful of it. For me, it wasn't as bad as I feared," Angel said. "People can get through it and come out the other side and be OK."

Students should change campus drinking culture
almost any group of friends on campus Monday morning, you probably wouldn't be surprised to hear them talking about their crazy, drunken weekend. In that conversation, you might hear them talk about what bar they went to or how they were so drunk that they "blacked out." Why is getting intoxicated to the point of no memory an ordinary occurrence? Although we act like getting blackout drunk is normal, it isn't.
It seems that college students drink only to get drunk, whereas people out of college seem to
have more responsible drinking habits. Although the majority of people on campus are full-time students, local bars are often packed on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights.
By Madeline Umali
@madelineumali
Drinking until the point of vomiting or memory loss is dangerous, and should not be happening as much as it does on our campus. Around 90 percent of alcohol consumed by youth under the age of 21 is in the form of binge drinking, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. While I am in full support of having a good time over the weekend
with your friends, it isn't safe for anyone to drink so much their senses become impaired.
That being said, just because someone chooses to drink an excessive amount does not mean they are giving informed consent to any sexual act.
With sexual assault being a prevalent topic in the news recently, it is important to discuss alcohol's involvement in sexual assault. Alcohol can be a common thread in these cases, and maybe there would be a decrease in sexual assault cases if alcohol weren't a factor.
The University of Kansas is such a large school that it makes sense why our campus has such a large party scene. However, it is important for students to know their limits. There would be a lower percentage of students with alcohol poisoning, incidents of blacking out and possibly a decrease in sexual assault incidents.
The University headed in the right direction by making freshmen take an online alcohol
awareness class, however all students could benefit from taking a similar course. It would allow students to keep the information fresh in their minds. It would also be a great demonstration of how the University is not only against minors consuming alcohol, but also how the University wants its students to be knowledgeable about the subject.

Pollsters help contribute change to the political process
As I was sitting in bed doing homework, I received a call from an unknown number with a Nevada area code. Though my boyfriend told me not to answer, I did anyway.
"Good evening, I am calling on behalf of [some polling place]. Am I speaking with 'Helayna Butchman?"
I love these phone calls. It doesn't matter that they are asking the same questions, slightly
rephrased for 12 to 15 minutes. It doesn't matter that the person on the other end doesn't know how to pronounce half of the names they're asking for. Nine times out of 10, I will answer these phone calls because I think it's important.

@helenabee
Phone polls help politicians by determining how they're doing, if their campaign tactics are working and what needs improvement in their campaign. If I say an attack ad
orchestrated. by Gov. Sam Brownback makes me less likely to vote for him in the upcoming election, that signals to his campaign that attack ads are not the way to go. Though I'm not voting for Brownback this November, discussing how his strategies make me unlikely to vote for him lets his team know that these tactics are not
Phone polls also help voters and candidates anticipate what's going to happen in an election, giving insight on whether or not to campaign harder. This allows constituents to be even more informed and involved in the democratic process.
working for him. Phone polls have the potential of creating healthier campaigns and elections which is good for everyone.
Phone polls can be a hassle,but the next time an unknown number calls you,try giving them a chance. It requires virtually no work on your part and has the potential to benefit the political and electoral process.

Student's short film to premiere at international festival
11 12 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
JAMES HOYT/KANSAN
University student and filmmaker Patrick Clement speaks at the Ashland Public Library in Ashland. Clement's film was one of three in the U.S. chosen to be shown at an international film festival in Unośala, Sweden.
RYAN MILLER
@Ryanmiller_UDK
Patrick Clement, a filmmaker and non-traditional student at the University, is about to take his short film that was inspired by a small town to a much different scene: overseas. The film, "Somewhere Between Freedom and Protection, Kansas," will have its international premiere at the Uppsala International Short Film Festival in Sweden, which began yesterday and runs through Sunday.
The film is about a young girl who faces a difficult decision in her small town, having to choose between her ill grandmother and a scholarship. Clement said he expected the film to be warmly received, at least in Kansas.
"You always hope the people will [like it] in the state that you made it in," Clement said. He hopes it's well received at the festival as well, and is looking forward to being a part of the international scene.
Uppsala is one of the longest short running film festivals in Sweden, and is a short film-only festival that makes
international selections. Clements' film was one of three chosen from the United States.
He also said since the announcement for admitted films was made within 30 days of the festival, he is unable to attend it in person. But he said he's excited for his film to be a part of the festival alongside the other short films.
"It's a great festival, put on by passionate people, and to be included this year really is an honor," Clement said.
"That's the best part, to see my film as part of this amazing program," Clement said. "I think there's really a camaraderie that comes to being at festivals like that."
In addition to the film festival, Clement will screen his film at the Public Library in Pratt Tuesday at 7 p.m., followed by a Q&A about the film and his experiences making it in Kansas.
"Western Kansas is such a wellspring of ideas and places, and I am shocked that people don't make more films there, it's amazing to film there — untouched," Clement said.
Clement, originally from
Boston, said the film is neither a Hollywood blockbuster nor a comedy, but a drama, which he said limits the audience. He said so far, he's happy he has been able to reach those people both in the United States, and abroad, such as Uppsala.
"it's a great festival, put on by passionate people, and to be included this year really is an honor."
PATRICK CLEMENT Filmmaker.
"I want to have [put thought into] everything that goes into the film," he said. "For people to look at that and think there's a type of cohesion, that's a success."
Clement first spent a month devoted entirely to pre-production. Then he spent two weeks shooting the film in rural Western Kansas and two weeks packing up before coming back to Lawrence, where he spent the next seven months editing the film.
Clement said most of his film work has been done outside of the University, though he shot content for the Office of First-Year Experience this year. He also shot some of the footage shown at Hawk Week, such as the video where students interacted with each other in a ball pit by Wescoe.
Howard Graham, the associate director of academic programs with the Office of First-Year Experience, worked with Clement on Hawk Week. Graham said Clement displayed various strengths while working with the office on the video. He said Clement had several planning sessions with them, where they talked through ideas and chose the best ones.
"No Hollywood director would ever admit this, but the day after shooting, I thought that I had wasted everyone's time, and spent a bunch of money on nothing," Clement said.
"He is really talented." Graham said. "He knows how to take raw ideas and turn them into a finished project that lands with the intended audience."
Graham said the dozens of hours of shooting film resulted in the 20 minute-long video that was presented at Hawk Week.
Clement has also applied for a few other film festivals abroad, such as one in Germany.
"Fillmmaking is a big worldwide community," Clement said. "There's a lot of people doing what I'm doing, and I sure wish that I could go meet some of them, and share my experiences."
He said he was selective in choosing what festivals to apply to.
"You try to sort of target what festivals will be good fits since you can't submit to every festival," Clement said.
For now, in addition to partaking in the upcoming Swedish festival, Clement is looking forward to working on his next film as well as several book projects.
"I think we all look where we can match passion and skill into something that makes us happy, and luckily, I think I've been able to do that," he said.

Have you ever clicked on a banner ad? It's doubtful, and according to Solve Media, an advertising consulting company, you are 87.8 percent more likely to apply to Harvard and get accepted and 475.28 times more likely to survive a plane crash than you are to click on a banner ad on a website.
Snapchat users may have noticed a new addition to their story feeds this past weekend, a sponsored Snapchat story for the new movie Ouija. Snapchat, the social media app that made its claim to fame with fleeting photos and videos, introduced advertisements that automatically appear on a user's story feed this past weekend. In doing
"It's going to feel a little weird at first, but we're taking the plunge," the company said in a statement released on Friday through its blog. "Understandably, a lot of folks want to know why we're introducing advertisements to our service. The answer is probably unsurprising — we need to make money."
It did feel a little weird. Though it may have seemed intrusive, that's far from what Snapchat intends. The statement said while some companies (yes you, Facebook) spend a lot of time collecting information on its users in order to create targeted advertisements, Snapchat wants to steer clear of that altogether.
Considering the primary demographics of a Snapchat user, "targeted" advertisements may be unavoidable even if they are unintentional. Business Insider reported the
app's demographics are dominated by teens and millennials between the ages of 13 and 25 and the majority of users are female.
Regardless of the fact that Snapchat advertisements refrain from targeting individual users, it still targets a primary consumer group — us.
As advertisements continue to appear on the app, brands have already recognized and tapped into the potential for promotion through the app. "Live" stories started appearing in users' story feeds over the summer, with the intention of making you feel like you're right there even if you can't make it to an event, a statement from Snapchat said. While these "Live" stories essentially eliminate the millennial-created and self-induced epidemic of "FOMO" (fear of missing out), they boost visibility of an event or brand, one that millennials would most likely want to seen or associated with.
Music festivals such as Lol.
lapalooza, Austin City Limits and Electric Daisy Carnival are among the most notable events to take advantage of this feature on the app. Brands such as Red Bull and the NCAA have created Live stories as well, all in efforts to promote and prove the event or brand remains relevant to its target audience.
While users can choose to hide a Live story, the event or brand still receives visibility, and while users have the choice to either click on an advertisement or not, Snapchat still makes the decision as to what advertisers can pay to appear in the app at all.
In the same statement Snapchat released regarding the debut of advertisements, it said, "The best advertisements tell you more about stuff that actually interests you." So, whether Snapchat intended, it seems it will now be a deciding factor in what interests its users.
Arabs from Israel risk arrest for appearing on 'Arab Idol' show
ASSOCIATED PRESS
— Edited by Rob Pyatt
MAJD AL-KRUM, Israel — Their goal is to win Arab Idol, the Arab world's premiere television song competition.
But the journey Manal Mousa, 25, and Haitham Khalaiyil, 24, have taken from their villages in Israel to the competition in Lebanon could comprise a television drama of its own — featuring travel to an enemy country, Israeli security interrogations, and the complicated identity crisis of Israel's Arabs.
The two singers are competing for more than just fame: they want to be a part of the cultural world that has been largely off limits to them because of the decades-long Arab-Israeli conflict.
"This is a chance for Haitham," said Waheeb Khalaily, Haitham's father, in his home in Majd Al-Krum, a village in the Galilee, in northern Israel. "For the Arab world and the whole world to hear him and say that he represents a Palestinian people that clings to its land."
When the show held its first-ever auditions in the West Bank in March, the lure of making it big was too tempting for Mousa and
In the bitter conflict between Israel and its Arab neighbors, Arab-Israeli are stuck in the middle. Though citizens of the Jewish state, they share the ethnicity, language and culture of the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Arabs who remained in Israel after its creation in 1948, and their descendants, today make up 20 percent of the population. Many identify as Palestinians rather than Israelis, watch Arab satellite television and dream of traveling throughout the Middle East. But their Israeli citizenship bars them from most Arab countries because Israeli passport holders are prohibited entry.
That includes the Lebanese capital of Beirut, where many Arab stars are born.
Khalaily to worry about borders.
They, and other young Arab singers in Israel, drove past Israeli military checkpoints to stand in line with hundreds of Palestinians for videotaped auditions. Mousa, Khalaily and two dozen others advanced to the next round in Beirut the following month.
The Israeli-Lebanese border is sealed, so the two used their Israeli passports to cross into neighboring Jordan where they boarded a plane for Beirut. At the Lebanese airport, they presented travel documents that the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank issued them especially for the trip, a Palestinian interior ministry official said.
In Beirut, they passed all three rounds of auditions and were chosen to be among the 26 final contestants from around the Arab world — the first time Arabs from Israel have ever been selected for the show.
After Mousa and Khalaily returned to Israel in May to wait for the show's taping, Israel's Shin Bet intelligence service summoned them for interrogations about their travel, their families said. Their Israeli passports were confiscated and they were told the passports would be revoked for up to three months, the families said. Through the help of rights groups, their passports were returned within days, Mousa's family said.
The Shin Bet did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Israel has sentenced Arab-Israeli in the past on charges of traveling abroad to conspire with militant groups for attacks against Israel or to fight alongside rebels in Syria.
The same month the two singers traveled to Lebanon, Israel arrested a 23-year-old Arab-Israeli journalist returning from a conference there. Officials initially thought he was recruited by
militants but later dropped the suspicion.
Travel to Lebanon is punishable under Israeli law by four years in jail or paying a fine, said Aram Mahameed, a lawyer from the Arab-Israeli rights group Adalah, whom Khalaily's family consulted after the contestant was interrogated.
"It is a law against the Arabs in Israel to disconnect them from other Arabs in the Arab countries," said Mahameed.
Though Jewish and Arab Israelis have faced indictment for traveling to Lebanon, their trials generally do not proceed unless they are accused of other crimes, he said, adding that Jewish Israeli journalists who have gone to Lebanon have not been questioned upon their return.
Mousa and Khalaily are now in Beirut taping the show, which is airing weekly on the Arab satellite channel MBC. Show producers said in a statement that contestants were unavailable for media interviews due to "exhausting

Doubles team highlights tennis trip to ITA Regionals
SKYLAR ROLSTAD
@SkyRolSports
Senior Maria Belen Ludueña and junior Maria Cardona competed Monday morning in the semifinal of the ITA Regional tournament main doles draw in Stillwater, Okla., and lost 6-3, 6-0 to Oklahoma State's sixth-seeded pair of Katarina Adamovic and Vladia Babic.
Adamovic and Babic went on to lose in the final to Okla-
noma State teammates Viktoriya Lushkova and Kelsey Laurente. Lushkova and Laurente were seeded first in the doubles draw and Lushkova won the singles draw at regionals.
Ludueña and Cardona were one of two doubles pairs seeded out of the top eight who made it to the semifinal. They defeated Oklahoma State's eighth-seeded Carla Tur Mari/Maria Alvarez 8-3 to advance to the quarterfinal.
Coach Todd Chapman was happy with how his team played doubles over the weekend.
"Any competitive player or coach is never satisfied after losing," Chapman said. "With that being said, I believe they had a good tournament."
Another player who did well in this tournament was freshman Smith Hinton, who won two matches in the singles qualifying draw and went on to the second round in
the main singles draw. In the doubles bracket, Hinton and her partner, freshman Madison Harrison, advanced to the round of 16.
As a freshman, Hinton leads the team with a singles record of 8-3. She spoke about how her fitness has helped her adjust to college tennis.
She also explained how Ludueña and Cardona's success in doubles has made the team more confident going into doubles competition.
"My fitness has gotten a lot better," Hinton said. "Here we do a lot of fitness. My tennis was fine, but the fitness helped me to feel more confident playing matches and I can be out there for longer than other girls. I feel like I've gotten a lot stronger."
"They're a really good team," she said. "It's cool to see they've played together for the last two or three years. It gives a lot of the other girls confidence that if we practice
with a certain partner or do whatever coach says, we can do really well, too."
most of the team is finished for the fall season. Four players will be sent to Houston at the end of October for the Houston Invitational. The main tennis season will begin in January with Kansas facing New Mexico.

THE DAILY DEBATE
Should Danny Duffy start a game in the World Series?
By Connor Oberkrom
@coherkro
"YES"
The Royals haven't needed Danny Duffy this postseason.
Ned Yost and Dayton Moore have pointed out the main reason for Duffy's relegation to the bullpen has mostly been his shaky mechanics in recent starts. The Cardinals employed Shelby Miller in a similar fashion last season and pitched one inning last postseason. However, if the Royals want to defeat the best pitching staff they have faced this postseason, Duffy should take the bump in place of Jason Vargas or Jeremy Guthrie.
Duffy didn't end the season is the best fashion, most notably against the White Sox, but one can argue that Duffy, without question, has the best stuff on the Royals pitching staff. Vargas can go
off the rails anytime he gets hit hard. He has been consistently solid this postseason, but has still given up three home runs in two postseason starts. Fortunately for Vargas, all of them have been solo shots, but Vargas' production curtailed along with Duffy's at the end of the regular season, yielding 18 runs in his last four starts.
The Giants' offense contains a sizable portion of lefties in its lineup with five. Over the season, Duffy has proved to be tougher against lefties than Vargas. Duffy is giving up a .136/.225/.161 line against lefties compared with Vargas'. .266/.306/.355.
Obviously, Duffy would be a huge stretch to start, but not entirely out of the question considering the Royals' back line of the rotation just needs to hold its court and get to the sixth inning. Vargas' regression to the mean could be imminent and more of the reason to start Duffy.
There is also a case to be made for Duffy to start for Guthrie, who has only started in one postseason game going five and one-third innings but never remaining
in total control. His peripheral stats are slightly worse than Vargas'. Guthrie gave up more home runs and walks, and strikes out fewer batters than Vargas did in the regular season. Guthrie is known, like Vargas, as a pitcher who pitches to contact and uses the Royals' defense to his benefit. This has worked for both pitchers thus far in the postseason, but there's a possibility things could get ugly.
Duffy was spectacular in the regular season, leading all Royals starting pitchers with a 2.53 ERA during the regular season and leading the team to nine wins. If the mechanical issues hadn't occurred against the Yankees, he probably would be favored to start over Guthrie and Vargas. With Duffy's decline in velocity and not striking out as much of batters as he used to, you can see why Yost and the front office would take caution. However, if you compared Duffy's ceiling for making a dominant start, it would far weigh Vargas' or Guthrie's.

Kansas City's pitching staff and defense have been the key to success. Unlike the regular season, manager Ned Yost has gone with a four-man starting rotation of Shields, Yorkano Ventura, Jason Vargas and Jeremy Guthrie.
Throughout the regular season,starting pitcher Danny Duffy was among those four. During the season,Duffy posted a 2.53 ERA,the best of any starting pitcher on the Royals' roster.
"NO"
In a game on Sept. 6 versus the Yankees, Duffy threw one pitch being before being taken out due to shoulder discomfort. His injury was eventually diagnosed
D during an undefeated run over the last eight games.
as an inflamed shoulder. Duffy missed two starts and returned on Sept. 22, picking up a win against the Cleveland Indians.
Going into the postseason, Ned Yost said Duffy would be kept in the bullpen to be used only in relieving situations.
Duffy is another weapon on the loaded bullpen, with pitchers such as Greg Holland, Wade Davis, Kelvin Herrera and Brandon Finnegan among others. Although Yost's move was unorthodox, it will continue to make the Royals' bullpen that much more intimidating against San Francisco.
Duffy made his first and only playoff appearance in Game 1 of the ALDS (American League Division Series) against the Los Angeles Angels. Duffy picked up the 3-2 win, coming in relief the 10th inning, and the Royals eventually finished it off in the 11th.
Yost has made multiple jarring decisions this postseason. Whether it was pulling James Shields five innings into the wild-card game against Oakland, or
constantly bunting to advance runners, regardless of who was at the plate. So far, each move has worked out.
When the rotations for the World Series were announced for Games 1 and 2, Duffy again was slotted for the bullpen. Barring an injury in the starting rotation, he should stay there for the entirety of the series.
Yost's decisions have not only worked out, but have been to Kansas City's benefit. He shouldn't change anything that has been working, especially with how well the Royals' have been playing during this postseason.
That doesn't mean there won't be an injury, and it doesn't mean Yost won't pull something out of his hat. But for now Duffy is a weapon out of the bullpen, and the current starting rotation gives the Kansas City Royals the best chance to win its first World Series since 1985.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Commentary: What the Royals mean to me
By Dan Harmsen
@udk dan
This was a proud franchise, or so I was told.
From 1976-1985, the Kansas City Royals made the playoffs in seven of 10 seasons and reached the ALCS in six of those seven. The World Series in two of those six.
In the city I was born in and call home, Kansas City — where the fountains danced to the smooth jazz and the barbecue tantalized — was once a baseball frenzied one.
The Royals were 860-701 during that stretch. The historic run culminated in 1985 when Brett, White, Wilson, Bret Saberhagen and Dan Quisenberry paraded around Liberty Memorial, hoisting the Commissioner's Trophy after defeating the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series
It was a time when Willie Wilson flew around the bases When watching Frank White play second was like reading poetry. When George Brett hit .494 in July of 1980 and .390 on the year.
Twenty-nine opening days passed. Twenty-nine All-Star Games. Twenty-nine trade deadlines. Twenty-nine seasons.
Including this year's magical run, the Royals had finished above. 500 only seven times since the 11-0 victory in Game 7 of 1985 World Series.
***
The 2014 Wild Card berth marked the first time the Royals had made the playoffs since Brett's heroics almost three decades ago.
My first encounter with Kauffman Stadium is blurry. The details of the game itself are lost on me, but I remember being with my dad in the biggest crowd of people I'd ever seen. I remember the smell of hot dogs, the sound of bat on ball and a smattering of drunkkards yelling obscenities as balls were dropped and batters struck out looking. Seven years old and as impressionable as silly putty, I looked out from my seat with a sense of wonder, and knew I'd be coming back. Often.
My birthday, April 9, is near the beginning of baseball season, so as an early gift each year my dad would pull me out of elementary school early so we could make it in time to the K for opening day. Royals baseball and my dad signaled the end of school and the beginning of summertime.
My dad and I would attempt to manage the team from our basement television. So many times, Trey Hillman didn't listen to us.
Gradually, I began to follow the Royals more closely as I aged. Players stole my heart: Mike Sweeney and Angel Berroa. Carlos Beltran patrolling center field.
To me, born in 1993, Royals baseball had meant trying
to make it out of May before being eliminated from playoff contention. It meant the Royals trying to play spoiler to teams on the brink of the playoffs. It meant "next year's our year."
It never meant late-inning home runs. It never meant a highlight-reel defense, the best back of the bullpen in baseball history, or even the playoffs.
And if certainly was never this: a World Series matchup with the San Francisco Giants.
Royals baseball was pretending that I didn't know the Royals allowed a walk-off homerun, or made a costly error or walked the leadoff man. It meant giving my dad my best incredulous look of bewilderdment as he summarized the game on the drive to school.
To me, Royals baseball was going to bed before the game was over on a school night. My dad had sent me up to my room in the sixth or seventh inning and told me I needed sleep. I went upstairs begrudgingly, only to stay up with my Walkman under the covers, listening to Denny Matthews as the Royals pried defeat from the jaws of victory.
I remember the Royals losing on a ball that glanced off a bird in the outfield. I remember Ken Harvey getting hit in the back on a relay throw to the plate. I remember the Royals losing to the Indians after a 10-1 lead.
Damon and Jermaine Dye come into their own in Royal blue, only to be traded or signed elsewhere because they could no longer be afforded.
Royals baseball was watching Carlos Beltran, Johnny
I remember obsessing over things not specific to the Royals success to get through all the losses: managers, umpires, ejections, the Hot Dog derby standings, and more than anything, our farm system.
Royals post-game on the radio meant listening late until Josh Ford concluded his show with a look "down on the farm." The future: hope. I dreamed of better days to come — we all did — but we never thought that day would arrive.
But here they are. I wouldn't change anything, but would I do it again?
Kansas City lost at least 100 games in four of the five years from 2002 to 2006.
I two years ago, the Royals came home for the first time of the year after a 3-3 opening road trip. Teeming with optimism, they squared up against the 1-4 Cleveland Indians who had four batters in their lineup hitting below 200.
I rushed home from Calculus class to catch the first pitch. My dad was late getting to the game because of work. By the time he reached his seat, and by the time I found the channel, it was 7-0 Cleveland in the bottom of the first. The loss marked the
★★★
second of a 12-game losing streak. Kansas City finished 18 games under .500.
Last year, on May 5, the Royals were 17-10. By the time the calendar turned to June, the Royals were 22-30. They'd lost 20 of their next 25. The Royals went 43-27 in the second half, finishing the season 10 games over .500, but still missed the playoffs.
but still missed the playoffs.
There was 2003, when the Royals started the season 9-0,
16-3, and were 10 games over
.500 by the All-Star break —
seven games up on the AL
Central.
I'll never forget Denny Matthews' voice crackling over the air on a makeup game from a rainout in June 2003. A September matinee against the Arizona Diamondbacks, one of the biggest games of my young life.
The Royals were four games over .500 heading into the afternoon and just a game and a half out of first behind Chicago and Minnesota.
They knocked Randy Johnson around in the first five innings, but blew a three-run lead late and lost on Lyle Overbay's single in the 10th inning. You could feel the playoffs slipping through their hands. Tony Pena's club would finish the season seven-and-a-half games back and would miss the playoffs. Even when the stars seemed to align, when we really "believed," it still wasn't good enough.
That's why I distrusted the 2014 team.
The Royals front office banked on the fact that they
were a second-half team after a first half that fell short of expectations, and after starting the second half 0-4, being swept in Boston and losing the opener to Chicago. I thought they were done. Put a fork in them. I'd seen this movie before.
But then, suddenly, this team refused to be denied. The Royals rattled off 24 wins in 29 games and finished their last 64 games with a .640 win percentage.
The Royals snapped the 29-year playoff drought. They stole the heart of the nation. Times have changed.
It is a time when Jarrod Dyson steals second and third and scores on a wild pitch. It's a time when Lorenzo Cain draws comparisons to Willie Mays. It's a time when Mike Moustakas goes berserk against playoff pitching.
On drives home from Kauffman stadium, listening to Royals postgame coverage, I dreamed of Eric Hosmer and Moustakas hitting long-bombs in the playoffs. I dreamed of diving catches and a closer slamming the door in front of a sea of blue.
Possibility has become reality. The Royals are 8-0 in the postseason. This fairytale run resumes on Tuesday.
Kansas City and baseball,
Baseball and Kansas City. It's

Football Film Review: Kansas vs. Texas Tech
BLAIR SHEADE
@realblairheady
OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE GAME: MICHAEL CUMMINGS 20-32 235 passing yards, 2 touchdowns and 1 INT
The redshirt junior started his second consecutive game and threw for over 230 yards for the second consecutive game — an accomplishment sophomore quarterback Montell Cozart never achieved as the starting quarterback. Cummings threw two touchdown passes and had a better quarterback rating (138.6) than Texas Tech quarterback Davis Webb. Cummings rushed the ball for 20 yards on 11 carries and scored on a one-yard touchdown run.
DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE GAME: BEN HEENEY
Heeney had 14 tackles in the first half alone, which was the most of any Kansas player in a half. The senior linebacker finished the day with a season-high 21 tackles and 17 were solo. Heeney intercepted Davis Webb for his first interception of the season and took it 37 yards, which set up a Kansas touchdown.

CONTAIN DENMAN WASHINGTON
The Kansas defense couldn't contain DeAndre Washington. The junior running back didn't score, but Washington forced Kansas to play the run first, which opened up all the passing plays for Texas' Webb. Washington had a game high 23 carries for 164 yards. The Red Raiders rode Washington because he averaged 7 yards per
OFFENSE SUMMARY
carry
The offense was able to surpass 350 yards of total offense for the second straight game. Seven different receivers caught a pass from Cummings, and senior tight end Jimmay Mundine led the team with seven catches for 82 yards and a score. Mundine led the team in receiving yards for the second straight week. Freshman running back Corey Avery has 15 carries for 69 yards, but fumbled the ball late in the game to put the game out of reach.
DEFENSE SUMMARY
ine Kansas defense forced two turnovers — one Heeney interception and one fumble recovery by senior linebacker Victor Simmons. Senior linebacker Michael Reynolds forced the fumble by sacking
texas' Webb. Reynolds had three tackles for loss, which was a game high. The problem with the defense was the secondary and the inability to pressure the quarterback. Besides the fumble, Kansas didn't get to Webb the whole game.
PLAY OF THE GAME
After a Heeney interception, Kansas took over at the Texas Tech 39-yard line. Seven plays later, Cummings found senior wide receiver Justin McCay for a 16-yard touchdown pass. The play came with 30 seconds left in the half and gave Kansas its first score of the game.

Bowen stresses fundamentals for team's bye week
MOVING FORWARD
MOVING FORWARD Kansas follows this loss with a bye week. The Jayhawks will have two weeks to prepare for 2013 Big 12 champions Baylor on Nov. 1. Kansas hasn't defeated Baylor since 2003, and the Jayhawks have never won in Waco, Texas, since Baylor joined the Big 12 in 1996.

The Jayhawks head into a bye week this weekend after a 34-21 loss to TCU on Saturday
— the team's fourth straight conference loss and 30th straight road loss.
In his weekly teleconference, interim head coach Clint Bowen said the bye would give his team time to rest as well as work on the fundamental parts of the game, parts of the Jayhawks have missed in the team's last two losses. Games Kansas came close to winning.
"It gives us time to rest, but then it also gives us time to focus on a lot of areas that we need to improve," Bowen said. "We talked about the little things that we're allowing to get away, which are the fundamentals in a lot of ways. We'll be able to anchor down and practice some fundamental football."
COMPETITIVE CUMMINGS
"The thing he brings most to us is that he's a tough, competitive guy," Bowen said. "He has a natural leadership about him to where he can demand things in the huddle. He has some presence about him that people around him can generate some confidence from."
Bowen explained his decision to put junior quarterback Michael Cummings in the starting quarterback position since taking over as head coach following the firing of Charlie Weis.
Cummings has started in all three games for Bowen, unseating sophomore Montell Cozart for the starting position.
Kansas narrowly lost 27-20 at home to then No.15 Oklahoma State two weeks
"He makes decisions; he's not afraid to pull the trigger. That's giving us a little bit of spark on the offense," Bowen said.
ago. Kansas senior wide receiver Nick Harwell recorded the most receiving yards in the game as a whole, and Cummings led both teams in passing yards.
PIERSON STATUS UNKNOWN
Bowen gave an update on the status of receiver Tony Pierson, who sustained a neck injury in Kansas' last game against Texas Tech, saying that the injury "doesn't look to be something really bad," but that the team "hasn't got the final word about it." Pierson went to the doctor Monday to be evaluated.
BIG 12 LIGHTING UP THE SCOREBOARD
Bowen also talked about parity in the Big 12, highlighting the powerful offenses in the conference.
"It gives us time to rest, but then it also gives us time to focus on a lot of areas that we need to improve."

"Each week things get shaken up a little bit. Every week it's a battle. I think the parity comes from what the offenses in this league can do," Bowen said. "The offensive firepower in this league is keeping everything balanced. There are several teams out there that are playing at a high level."
Kansas will play No.12 Baylor in its next game after the bye week. Baylor is second in the nation in total offense with 4,053 yards and first in the nation in yards per game with 579.

TCU iumps to No.1 spot after Baylor's loss to West Virginia
STELLA LIANG
@stelly_liang
Three or four weeks ago, if the Big 12 only had one team ranked in the AP Top 10, one would have thought it would be Oklahoma or Baylor. But a lot has changed since then and at the start of Week 9 in the NCAA football season; TCU is the only team ranked in the Top 10 from this conference.
TCU's Josh Doctson (left) celebrates his touchdown with Halapoulivaati Vaitai during the first half of Saturday's win against Oklahoma State in Fort Worth, Texas.
After another wild weekend, the lines between the top and middle of the league are still blurry. Baylor fell from the ranks of the undefeated. Oklahoma suffered its second loss, this time at the hands of Kansas State, which allows the Wildcats to sit by themselves at the top of the conference standings at 3-0 in the league. TCU followed up a near upset of Baylor with a resounding victory againstOklahoma State on Saturday. Overall, there are five Big 12 teams ranked in the Top 25.

By now, it should be no surprise when a Bill Snyder-led team finds ways to win. The Wildcats were not overlooked at the start of the season, but they definitely weren't expected to vie for the conference title. Yet here they are atop the leaderboard, fresh off a victory against the perennial powerhouse Oklahoma.
The difference in the game, which K-State led or tied for much of, was mistakes. Actually for K-State, it was the lack of mistakes. Quarterback Jake Waters was an efficient 15 of 23 for 225 yards and a touchdown. The running back corps combined for 160 yards and a touchdown.

Every mistake thus far by the Baylor Bears has been covered up by their offense. When that unit struggled Saturday, the result was Baylor's first loss.
The Bears committed 18 penalties for 215 yards, a Big 12 record. Quarterback Bryce Petty was sacked four times and had no touchdowns after halftime. Petty finished with 16 completions out of 36 attempts for 233 yards and two touchdowns. The offense gained 318 yards, which is well below the 623 yards it came in averaging.

The Sooners have no one to blame for the loss but themselves. Kicker Michael Hunnicutt missed a 19-yard field goal with less than four minutes left in the fourth quarter, which would have put the Sooners ahead.
Hunnicutt also missed a 32-yard field-goal attempt right before halftime. His point-after attempt was also blocked in the fourth quarter, which led to the final margin. Even though the kicking game struggled, the Sooners also made plenty of other mistakes. They had two turnovers, including a pick-6, and the defense could not stop the Wildcats from scoring at crucial moments.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"If I wasn't playing 82 games, I still would've been playing somewhere else because that's the love for the game I had. As a player, I never thought 82 games was an issue."
- Michael Jordan

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: Between Michael Jordan and LeBron James, who had the best season in points per game?
A: Michael Jordan in 1987 with 37.1 PPG.
-USA Today
Health, money or love for the game?
Basketball players have always been seen as heroes, constantly proving their herculean
athletic abilities and giving children a first-hand look at what it would be like to have superpowers. The game of basketball isn't how it was when MJ played in the 1980s and '90s. Basketball has increased in competitiveness, and the NBA's schedule had had to catch up to a league that's growing bigger, faster and stronger.
Yahoo Sports reported in a 2013 article on NBA injuries that "averaging 35 minutes in an NBA game in 2013 is far more taxing than doing as much 30 years ago, or even in Michael Jordan's era ... as the game continues to grow, the injuries continue to pile up."

only thing that will help is cutting games from the regular 82-game season schedule. James is in favor of the shortened 66-game schedule.
Because of the increase in injuries, the NBA has been toying with the idea of shortening games. On Sunday, the Boston Celtics and the Brooklyn Nets played in a 44-minute game (four quarters of 11 minutes), four minutes less than a regulation game. The NBA's biggest star, LeBron James, speaks for many athletes in the NBA and said he doesn't believe shortened games will reduce fatigue or the number of injuries. James said he believes the
"The minutes don't mean anything," James told reporters Wednesday. "We can play 50-minute games if we had to. It's the games that I think we all as players think is too many games in our season. 82 games are a lot."
Michael Jordan, owner of the Charlotte Hornets, was puzzled as to why James and other NBA players want to reduce the schedule.
"If I wasn't playing 82 games, I still would've been playing somewhere else because that's the love for the game I had," Jordan told ESPN. "As a player, I never thought 82 games was an issue."
would result in a loss of $30 million in team revenue, according to Forbes. The NBA also just signed a new TV deal with ESPN and Turner for $24 billion over the next nine years. That deal was made for a slate of 82 regular season games, not 66. If the reduced schedule were to be put in place, would the deal need to be renegotiated?
The lockout of 2011, which reduced the regular season to 66 games, gave the players a taste of what the reduced season would be like. Reducing the regular 82-game schedule to 66 games
James realizes reducing the number of games will result in less revenue, but he is more focused on the well-being of the players.
At the end of the day, we want to protect the prize and the prize is the players." james told reporters. "We have to continue to promote the game and if guys are being injured because there are so many games, then we can't promote it at a high level. We got two of our top guys in our league out right now. I'm not saying it's because of the games, but anything will help."

COMMENTARY Timing of Late Night could hurt recruiting
By Blair Sheade
@realblairsheady
The Kentucky basketball program held its annual Big Blue Madness on Saturday. From what the reports show, the Kentucky event blew the Kansas' Late Night in the Phog out of the water.
At first glance, Kentucky had the star-power on its side. Kentucky coach John Calipari invited hip-hop star Drake to the event. He hosted the event similar to actor Rob Riggle hosted the 2013 Late Night. Drake sat in the film session with the Kentucky players and the 2015 recruits. Drake dressed up in full Kentucky warm-up gear, and shot during the pregame with the team - his first shot was an air ball.
Sad thing is, Drake matters because the recruits' experience is really the only aspect that means anything that night. If the recruits enjoyed the preseason, over-the-top, prep rally, then there's a greater chance they will attend that university.
Twelve of the 16 recruits who visited Kansas for Late Night also attended Big Blue Madness.
The No. 2 recruit in the 2015 recruiting class, Stephen Zimmerman, was one of those 12 recruits who attended both Kentucky and Kansas' preseason event. One difference that Zimmerman and his mother said the Big Blue Madness had more local attention then Late Night.
Zimmerman's mother, Lori Stevens, said a lot of Kansas fans came up to her son asking for pictures and autographs during Late Night, but in Kentucky, hundreds of Kentucky fans gathered in hotel lobby where Zimmerman was staying, waiting for his picture or autograph.
The timing of the events was the difference between the turnout in Kentucky and Kansas. The weekend of Late Night, Kansas fans had other things on their mind such as the Kansas City Royals and fall break. Most of Kansas' students went home for the extended weekend, and a lot of students in Lawrence stayed home to watch the Royals play in Game 2 of the American League Championship Series against Baltimore.
In 2013, Allen Fieldhouse had to turn fans away because of insufficient space. This year, Kansas couldn't fill the fieldhouse, potentially hurting its recruiting efforts.
Kansas benefited from the sold-out crowd last season as freshman guard and highly recruited talent Kelly Oubre committed to Kansas following his visit during Late Night last year.
If recruiting doesn't turn out like Kansas Athletics wanted it, the program should make sure that Late Night in the Phog becomes a headlining event in Lawrence next year.
It could be the difference between a top-5 recruit going to Kansas or Kentucky.

EXPENSIVE
Pricey tickets cause students to watch from
Kansas City Royals' Alex Gordon throws during baseball practice Oct. 20 in Kansas City, Mo. The Royals will host the San Francisco Giants in Game 1 of the World Series on Oct. 21.
SCOTT CHASEN
@SCHasenKU
The Royals have not had a team this successful since the 1985 season, which might explain why many are willing to pay the increased ticket prices to make it to the game at Kauffman. As of Monday afternoon, the cheapest ticket on StubHub.com is more than $500, and that's standing room only.
After dominating the American League in the postseason, the Royals are four victories away from winning the World Series. At least two of those victories would be played in Kauffman Stadium.
"I'm going to the first game with my dad," said Will
Shadwick, a sophomore from Salina. "My dad bought them from a friend he knew for about $1,000."
But while many students and their families chose to make the trip to Kauffman Stadium to take in a postseason game earlier in the playoffs, the World Series has been a little different. Aside from winning the Royals' lottery for tickets, seats can be expensive for the average student. The cheapest tickets are more than twice as much as any other game in the postseason, which cost around $150 or $200, according to StubHub.com.
Taking into account the high ticket prices, coupled with an increased parking fee, a World Series game
"I'm still pumped for the games," Farlow said. "Wheth-
"I would love to go to the games, but I can't afford $500 tickets," said Garrett Farlow, a sophomore from Tecumseh. "Instead I'll watch with a big group of friends, just like the other postseason games."
Many Royals fans on campus are in a similar situation as Farlow, opting to surround themselves with friends and family rather than making the journey out to Kauffman, but it doesn't mean they are any less excited about the World Series.
would put a dent in students' wallets. The price has certainly kept some students away, but it hasn't kept students from bonding over Royals baseball.
er or not I'm at the World Series, I'm a Royals fan, and I'm excited to see how they do against the Giants."
While most students at the University of Kansas have yet to witness a World Series game in Kansas City, there are certainly plenty of people to talk to about the team's success 29 years ago.
My dad went to the 1985 World Series, and he would always tell me stories about that," Shadwick said. "This is the only team I have ever seen [go this far].
For the Royals, James Shields will be on the mound for Kansas City, looking to improve his postseason performance, where he's allowed 10 runs in 16 innings.
Madison Bumgarner, who
has been at the top of his game in recent weeks, will get the start for the Giants in the opener. With an ERA of 1.42 since the playoffs began, Bumgarner is also tied for the lead in wins among Giants pitchers.
The Giants have been near perfect in the postseason, going 8-2 while facing the best teams in the National League.
Whether at the K or somewhere else, it is certain many students will be watching as the Royals look to capture their second World Series title in the team's history.
Game 1 begins on Tuesday at 7 p.m. at Kauffman Stadium.

Cummings keeps Kansas in the game

Redshirt junior quarterback Michael Cummings looks for an opening against Oklahoma State on Oct. 10. Kansas lost 20-27.
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
Remember when your American Government teacher told you that history has a tendency of repeating itself? For redshirt junior Michael Cummings, this is especially true.
in 2012, seeing his first significant action of the season replacing Dayne Crist midway through the game, the redshirt freshman led Kansas back from down 20-0 and nearly upset Oklahoma State at home. Leading two touchdown drives in the last 11 minutes, Cummings and the Jayhawks simply ran out of time, falling 20-14 despite Cummings going 5-of-10 for 75 yards and one touchdown.
"That's a good game against a good team and he wasn't flinching," former head coach Charlie Weis said of his quarterback after the game. "He had great composure, he was having fun and he put us in a position to win the game."
"He brought what we wanted out of that position," interim head coach Clint Bowen said. "Some leadership, some toughness, a guy that people could rally around."
Two years later, trailing then No. 16 Oklahoma State 20-7 at halftime on October 11, Cummings led another Jayhawk comeback with three passes of 30 yards or more, but Tyreek Hill's 99-yard kick-return sealed the seven-point win for the Cowboys.
Rewind back to 2012 — his freshman year — again. The Killeen, Texas, native took Kansas into double overtime at No. 25 Texas Tech, but came up just seven points short, 41-34. Cummings threw for two touchdown passes and rushed for 41 yards, including a key 44-yard scamper on fourth-and-three from the Jayhawks' 36 yard-line in the late stages of the game.
This past Saturday, Cummings raided Lubbock, Texas, with his best offensive output of the season, completing 20-of-32 passes for 235 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in the 34-21 loss. He added a oneyard plunge for a score with three seconds left in the third quarter to trim the Texas Tech lead to six, 27-21.
Dropped passes, both offensively and defensively, haunted the Jayhawks on the afternoon, and kept the upset bid out of reach. But even with No. 12 Baylor, Iowa State, No. 10 TCU, No. 17 Oklahoma and No. 11 Kansas State coming up — a daunting slew of games — the offense has to feel better with Cummings after Montell Cozart averaged nine points per
game against Duke, Central Michigan and Texas. Over the past two games, with Cummings taking the snaps, the Jayhawks have averaged 20.5 points per game.
Game by game, Cummings is improving. His completion percentage has endured a steady rise from 47.1 percent against West Virginia (in limited action) to 54.1 against Oklahoma State to 62.5 against Texas Tech. In that three-game stretch, his quarterback rating rose from 9 to 34.6 to 60.8. Montell Cozart seemed to be trending in the opposite direction, completing 46 percent of his passes for 170 yards over the first three games, and just 39 percent for 91 yards over his next two.
"I'm always happy about Mike." Bowen said. "The guy competes. He plays hard. He has a presence about himself that other guys can rally around."
A Turner Gill recruit in the 2011 class, Cummings was kept on the sideline yet again in 2014 because Charlie Weis claimed that Cozart looked far and away the best quarterback in practice.
So far, Michael Cummings has looked far and away the better quarterback in games. He's thrown for 56 percent to Cozart's 49.6, and averages 6.75 yards per pass to Cozart's 5.54. Cummings'
ability to throw the ball down the field with accuracy opens things up for the Kansas offense.
Out of high school, Cummings was not offered a scholarship by a single Texas school despite throwing for 2,463 yards, 24 touchdowns and just seven interceptions his junior season. In his four major minutes against schools hailing from Texas
Texas Tech (twice), Baylor, and Texas — Cummings has lost by an average of just 12.75 points.
"That'a a tough situation there," Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said after the game on Saturday. "Their players played really hard,
like we've seen all year and stayed in the football game."
Bowen called his junior quarterback a junkyard dog. He will get up when he's knocked down and will be ready to fight.
"I had a stinger in my back," Cummings said after getting tackled hard on a play. "I wasn't going to stay out for long. So as soon as I was able to get up and walk off the field, I wanted to get right back out there."
If history has any say, Cummings will continue to keep Kansas in games. The next step is finding a way to finish them.

COMMENTARY Timing of Late Night could hurt recruiting
By Blair Sheade
@realblairsheady
The Kentucky basketball program held its annual Big Blue Madness on Saturday. From what the reports show, the Kentucky event blew the Kansas' Late Night in the Phog out of the water.
At first glance, Kentucky had the star-power on its side. Kentucky coach John Calipari invited hip-hop star Drake to the event. He hosted the event similar to actor Rob Riggle hosted the 2013 Late Night. Drake sat in the film session with the Kentucky players and the 2015 recruits. Drake dressed up in full Kentucky warm-up gear, and shot during the pregame with the team — his first shot was an air ball.
Sad thing is, Drake matters because the recruits' experience is really the only aspect that means anything that night. If the recruits enjoyed the preseason, over-the-top, prep rally, then there's a greater chance they will attend that university.
Twelve of the 16 recruits who visited Kansas for Late Night also attended Big Blue Madness.
The No. 2 recruit in the 2015 recruiting class, Stephen Zimmerman, was one of those 12 recruits who attended both Kentucky and Kansas' preseason event. One difference that Zimmerman and his mother said the Big Blue Madness had more local attention then Late Night.
Zimmerman's mother, Lori Stevens, said a lot of Kansas fans came up to her son asking for pictures and autographs during Late Night, but in Kentucky, hundreds of Kentucket fans gathered in hotel lobby where Zimmerman was staying, waiting for his picture or autograph.
The timing of the events was the difference between the turnout in Kentucky and Kansas. The weekend of Late Night, Kansas fans had other things on their mind such as the Kansas City Royals and fall break. Most of Kansas' students went home for the extended weekend, and a lot of students in Lawrence stayed home to watch the Royals play in Game 2 of the American League Championship Series against Baltimore.
In 2013, Allen Fieldhouse had to turn fans away because of insufficient space. This year, Kansas couldn't fill the fieldhouse, potentially hurting its recruiting efforts.
Kansas benefited from the sold-out crowd last season as freshman guard and highly recruited talent Kelly Oubre committed to Kansas following his visit during Late Night last year.
If recruiting doesn't turn out like Kansas Athletics wanted it, the program should make sure that Late Night in the Phog becomes a headlining event in Lawrence next year.
it could be the difference between a top-5 recruiting going to Kansas or Kentucky.

ATHLETICS AMAZING: KANSAN'S MEMORABLE WIN
Athletics have made a remarkable victory for Kansas State, as the Buckeyes secured their second consecutive Big Ten championship. The team's strong performance on the field was evident in their defensive play and strategic passing. The defense, led by key players like Cody Walker and Eric Hearn, played an essential role in securing the win. The team's offensive strategy, including a balanced attack from both the defense and offense, was crucial in achieving the victory. Kansas State is now ranked No. 3 in the Big Ten Conference.

What is the difference between a regular job and a remote job?
Regular jobs are performed by employees at a location, usually an office. These jobs require a strong understanding of computer science and programming languages. Remote jobs, on the other hand, are performed remotely from anywhere in the world. These jobs do not require an office location to be available.

@ChandlerBoese
Recently, the Center for the Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets, or CReSIS, a National Science Foundation center based at the University of Kansas, published an article in the Journal of Glaciology about its recent findings in the topography of two glaciers in Antarctica and Greenland.
CReSIS, established in 2005 as part of NSF's Science and Technology program, is led by the University of Kansas, according to the CReSIS website, but also includes Elizabeth City State University,
Indiana University, University of Washington, Pennsylvania State University, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and the Association of Computer and Information Science Engineering Departments at Minority Institutions.
"Our overarching goal is to be able to provide the science community with the instrumentation and methods to evaluate sea level rise, focused specifically on the ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica," said graduate research assistant Cameron Lewis, a PhD student from Lawrence.
As the hub of the program,
the University's part of CReSIS focuses on the actual radars and other instruments used to measure the melting of these glaciers.
"It's a unique experience. When you're a GRA involved in one of these larger science centers, there's a lot more opportunities ... "
CAMERON LEWIS PhD student from Lawrence
"Here in Nichols Hall, we're all electrical engineers," Lewis
said. "Our focus is designing the actual physical radars, buildingthem,troubleshooting them,operating them in the field to collect the data. Then we provide the information to the science community at large."
In the article, CReSIS said they are planning on deploying a number of unmanned small aerial systems, which will allow them to sense more about the topography of the ice underneath the surface clutter.
As an institution, CReSIS involves a large number of faculty, staff, graduates and undergraduates. Gogineni said from 1998 to 2013, CReSIS employed 206 undergraduates and 184 graduates from the universities involved in the center.
The research that was published in the Journal of Glaciology, CReSIS director Prasad Gogineni said, tells the science community that the bed topography of the glaciers, specifically Jakobshavn Isbrae, a large Greenland glacier, and the Byrd glacier, located in Antarctica, is very complex.

United States Senate Canidate Greg Orman speaks to a group of 19 University students and Lawrence community members Tuesday inside the ECM. His main focus was college tuition.
Greg Orman talks college affordability
ALLISON KITE
@Allie Kite
Senate candidate Greg Orman's new plan regarding college affordability revolves around holding universities accountable for the rising cost of higher education and increasing transparency to give students more power in taking out loans.
The six-part plan, which Orman presented to about 30 students and community members at Ecumenical Campus ministries, outlines
"If you receive tax payer dollars, you should sign on to the goal of making it more affordable," Orman said in his speech on campus Tuesday.
plans to keep tuition low, reduce interest rates on student loans, increase students' understanding of loans, reform collection practices and protect military members from predatory loans.
One provision of Orman's plan will require universities to keep tuition increases consistent with inflation levels. Should universities choose not to do this, he said they would not receive taxpayer money. The plan does not provide suggestions for how universities would make up the lost revenue. Orman cited two main reasons for the increasing cost of higher education: larger
"They want to make grander universities," he said. "They want to have more diverse programs. They want to ultimately emulate that. There are lots of examples that have made other decisions not to emulate the Harvards of the world and are ultimately delivering high-quality education at a lower cost. In everything I've looked at, the real driver of cost is this decision to try to make these institutions significantly grander without really looking at the underlying quality of the education."
numbers of administrators and universities' tendency to emulate Harvard.
In addition to holding
universities accountable, the plan emphasizes the importance of student knowledge of student loans and transparency on the part of loaners. The plan cites the CARD act, which required credit card companies to explain in simpler terms how long a bill will take to pay off and the interest that would be paid over that time. The plan suggests similar requirements for student loans.
In his speech, Orman also suggested more resources to help students make the right decision about school. He said the biggest student loan victims are students who go to universities unprepared and drop out. Those students
still have to pay off their loans without the benefit of having received a degree. He suggested helping students pick the right form of higher education for their skills and preparedness.
"One of the things we need to do a better job of is helping kids make higher education decisions," he said. "Helping them decide, 'Do I actually want to go to community college? Do I want to go straight to a four-year university? Should I go to a trade school?' "
The Kansan is waiting to hear back from Senator Pat Roberts regarding the plan.

LeaderShape program accepting applications
HALEY HAUCH
@HaHaley17
Students could find an email in their KU inbox encouraging them to apply for the 18th year of LeaderShape, which is a six day program that will take place from Jan. 13-18. It helps students practice teamwork, ethical decision making, identifying their strengths and weaknesses, and building bonds with other students.
"For new or transfer students it's a great way to make friends," Director of KU LeaderShape Rueben Perez said.
Last year, 270 applicants applied, but only 70 were admitted to the program. The national organization only allows each program to host 70 students, and it's a once-year thing because of the hosting expense, Perez said.
There is a variety of applicants who are accepted. The committee looks for a diverse group with an
equal amount of men and women all spanning from different backgrounds, religions, political affiliations and ethnicities. There are even doctorate and master students who are accepted, and one man as old as 56 was accepted.
"My favorite things is I've watched natural barriers — like Greek, political, living on and off campus — go down," Perez said. "The program is powerful beyond words."
Perez also said the committee doesn't just look for applicants who are currently student leaders, but they also look for students who aren't leaders who would like to get more involved.
For the first year since the program has been on campus, Perez said they are offering a second, slightly-altered leadership program to the 200 or more applicants they turn away. In the spring, a new hybrid program will run for one day, where it will cover the main points of the traditional
LeaderShape program. Perez said the applicants that were turned away from the January program will be the first to be invited to this new leadership group.
Whether you get into the LeaderShape program on the first try, or plan to attend the hybrid version in the spring, students are encouraged to apply.
"Go for it," Perez said. "It's six days to create opportunities for students to achieve what is the best version of themselves. The $50 is worth the investment in yourself."
Students who have been a part of Leadershape have had positive experiences.
"I came out as openly gay and it was weird in to come out in such a close-knit community.
"I thought it was a hoax and can't be that life changing, but it was, it was an extremely emotional six days. I met some lifelong friends," said senior Bret Koch, who attended the program last year.
I struggled with acceptance in college and never felt more accepted and like it was okay to be who I am when I was at LeaderShape," Koch said, who is from Tonganoxie.
Koch is now heavily involved with activities on campus because he had the ability to network and make connections with people he wouldn't have met otherwise. He applied for an executive position for the KU Dance Marathon because of a friend held made at the program. This year, he is the director of fundraising of the KUDM.
Students who've gone through the program have established other programs such as the House That Greeks Built and KU Unity.
"We don't measure success of the program on how many visions are implemented, but on how students return and live their lives, do their jobs, arrive in their communities," Perez said, who has been with KU LeaderShape since it started.
There are two main points that Perez hopes to get across through the program:
"Within each of us there is an ability to change the world, we are here to help you find that voice," he said. "First, we ask you what you're passionate about. Then, we identify the communities you are a part of. And lastly, we ask students to think about one change they can make in one of these communities so that they can leave with a vision plan."
After you have found your ability to change the world, the second main focus is doing it with integrity. Perez wants students to ask themselves, "How would I make choices when no one is watching?" and apply that to their everyday lives.
The deadline for students to apply for KU LeaderShape is Thursday, Oct. 23. More information can be found at www.silc.ku.edu/leadershape.

Kansas company raises Ebola money
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA — A Wichita-based company that converts shipping containers into medical clinics is trying to raise $300,000 to send eight clinics, food and supplies to western Africa to fight the Ebola outbreak.
Clinic in a Can, founded by physician assistant Mike Waurzewski, said his organization wants to create a Wichita response that will get locals involved in the battle against the deadly disease. Sending much-needed clinics to Liberia is a step in that direction, he said.
All surfaces in the clinics can be decontaminated, Wawrzewski said, which is a step up from many of the Ebola treatment centers in Liberia.
Clinic in a Can, which built its first clinic in 2005, has sent
clinics to Haiti after its 2010 earthquake, the Philippines after 2013's Typhoon Haiyan, and Moore, Oklahoma, after last year's massive tornado.
"Their medical system is overwhelmed and it's the consequences of poor infrastructure and poor sanitation," he said.
The eight clinics are being constructed now and will be ready to ship in about three weeks if funding is in place, Wawrzewski said.
University reviewing student KORA request
MIRANDA DAVIS
@MirandaDavisUDK
"General counsel can help determine whether the requested records are exempt from disclosure by law and if information needs to be redacted," Erinn BarcombPeterson, director for News and Media Relations, said in an email on Monday.
Update: The materials that stem from the Kansas Open Records Act request a student group sent to the University are currently being reviewed by the University's Office of the General Counsel, which handles all legal matters for the University. The Office of Public Affairs said this is typical for all KORA requests so the University can redact information that isn't public record and would not apply to a KORA request.
The Office of the Provost,
the office within the University that handles all KORA requests, responded to the students' request within the three business days that are mandated by law with all KORA requests and the office has now been gathering all materials related to the KORA request. The University's School of Business and business Professor Art Hall denied an interview with the Kansan due to general counsel's involvement with the current KORA request.
Background: Students for a Sustainable Future, a student group at the University, began looking into the Koch brothers' influence at the University after learning of other higher education institutions that have received money from the Koch brothers that may have contractual stipulations. They learned
+
the business school receives some donations from the Koch brothers and the school's Center for Applied Economics is funded by the Koch brothers. The student group filed the KORA request that the University granted — but the documents came with a $1,800 price tag. The student group met the goal by fundraising, submitted the payment and are now waiting for the materials to be given to them.
What's Next: The release of the documents. Because of the extensive nature of the request, the documents haven't been produced yet. Once all documents have been gathered by the University and information has been redacted if needed, the group will receive the documents from the KORA request.

Local bars offer World Series specials

CAFE JAYHAWK CAFE
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
Students celebrate the Royals win in the ALCS last week at the Jayhawk Cafe at 1340 Ohio St. Bars are offering drink specials during the World Series.
It's tough to avoid the excitement. The Kansas City Royals are back in the World Series after a 29-year playoff absence. Lawrence businesses are getting caught up in the excitement, as many are hosting parties throughout the week to celebrate Blue October.
"I like to watch games at bars because it's fun to watch games around a group of people who enjoy the same team."
AMANDA PITTMAN Senior from Archie, Mo.
Many bars, including Louise's Bar, The Sandbar and The Wagon Wheel, are offering special deals on game nights.
Cameron Birdsall, a bartender at Louise's Bar at 1009 Massachusetts St., said the bar sold schooner drinks for $4.50 Tuesday night for the first game of the World Series. Birdsall said he expects the bar to gain a lot of customers during the games.
"Any time there's a big sports event going on, it's always really good for business," Birdsall said. "All people really want is to watch the game. We're going to give it to them."
The Sandbar, located at 17 E. 8th St., is also celebrating the World Series.
"We're going to watch the games like everyone else and try to do a little bit of entertainment in between the innings to try to get people excited," said David Johanning, a manager of The

Sandbar. "We'll play some music in between the innings and make it a fun atmosphere to watch the game."
"We'll probably call it Blue October or something like that." johanning said.
"It kind of reminds you of March Madness," Stout said. "Everyone is cheering for one particular team, and when they score, everyone goes nuts. When they win it gets even crazier."
Johanning said he expects business to be great during the weekday games, attributing this to the excitement surrounding the Royals, as well as the nice weather.
The Wagon Wheel, located at 507 W. 14th St., also plans to host a large crowd of Royals supporters throughout the World Series. John Stout, a senior from Wichita who works at the Wheel, said the atmosphere during the Royals' postseason run has been fun and exciting.

"The games have been so much fun to watch,"
Johanning said. "Even people who have watched a lot of baseball are excited. The way that the Royals have been winning and the way they're playing so well, going to extra innings and the miracle hits, have made it so exciting."
Johanning said it's exciting to see Lawrence residents start to support the Royals. He said the combination of the Royals, the interim head coaching regime of Clint Bowen for the Kansas football team, as well as the fact that Kansas basketball is about to start up, has made this October a fun time of year.
"I like to watch games at bars because it's fun to watch games around a group of people who enjoy the same team," Pittman said.
Stout agreed with Pittman's sentiments.

"I think the more people you're around, the more fun it is." Stout said. "You get that excitement from the whole crowd building it up ... I think that's the reason why people go to bars to watch games."

Future is much brighter than movies and shows display
Remember when the future was bright? It used to seem that every futuristic film or show was teeming with some truly exciting ideas flying vehicles, robot maids and intergalactic voyages, just to name a few. Happiness and comfort seemed to abound, with technology doing away with the problems of the past and logic paving the way for a better future.
Despite the dire nature of the near past, with nuclear extinction previously seeming like an imminent possibility, predictions of the future were almost entirely upbeat. In recent years, however, it seems popular expectations of the future have been reduced to a dystopian wasteland.
Film after film has depicted humanity destroying itself in one way or another. If it hasn't exhausted Earth's environment, then it's unleashed a zombie apocalypse. If aliens haven't destroyed us, then a dystopian order has oppressed the world. Indeed, it doesn't seem any optimistic depictions of the future exist anymore, leading many to become pessimistic about the future.
By Jesse Burbank
@JBurbank1
An endless barrage of bad news from the media seems to validate this belief. After all, how can one be hopeful when vicious animals like ISIS haunt the Earth and diseases like Ebola continue to claim thousands of lives around the world?
Despite these difficulties
the perception of futility is seriously misguided. We live in an age of unprecedented progress. According to the World Bank's Poverty and Inequality Team, global economic inequality has declined substantially since the 1990s as developing nations are catching up economically. Global poverty has halved from 43 percent in 1990 to 21 percent in 2010, according to The Economist. Medical advances and growing access to food and
water have pushed the global life expectancy to 70 years, up from 63 years in 1990, according to The World Health Organization.
are certainly not causes for pessimism.
Beyond the numbers, look at the situation that faces our world today. The main threat that faces us is not a nuclear contest between superpowers or an all-out global war. No, it's a scattered array of extremist thugs who distort religious doctrines in order to justify violence.
Environmental consciousness is higher than it's ever been. Civil rights, both at home and abroad, continue their slow march forward. We walk around with electronic devices that were just pure fantasy a generation ago — these
Indeed, when one steps back and looks at the big picture, there appears to be very few reasons for pessimism. It would be nice to once again see films that show us the boundless potential of the future, rather than the cynical underbelly of possibility. It would be nice to see what we might all accomplish together one day.

Unplug yourself from social media, other technology
I was assigned to "unplug" myself from social media for as long as possible. Doing this made me realize how obsessed I am with social media. It is how we keep in touch, how we know what's going on in the world, and how we find the answers to all of the questions we constantly have racing through our minds. Embarrassingly enough, I lasted more than two hours without using any technology, and boy was it rough. How pathetic, right?
I'm sure I wasn't the only one who didn't last very long in this challenge. We are all guilty of being too
wrapped up in our different technologies. Every morning I wake up and immediately want to begin my day by catching on gossip on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. When I couldn't do that, it was torture. Simple things like getting ready for class were difficult without technology because I couldn't check the weather. I was hoping and praying I had worn enough clothing to keep me warm for the trudge to class. You don't realize how many advantages media brings you until you are suddenly without it. Not only does my phone inform me of the temperature outside, it

with more technological advances each year, it will only get worse. Many professors have required me to use some form of media by having more tests, quizzes and assignments online.I truly believe someday classrooms won't even exist due to technological advances. Technology makes things like assignments, getting places and communication much easier. This is why we, as a nation, can't help but take advantage of it.
helps me find my way around town when I am lost, and it even reminds me of all the important things I need to do in order to keep my life in check.
It was crazy how "naked" I felt without checking social media for that short period of time. But even though we choose to consume ourselves with technology, we can't take all the blame for our fascination; we are completely surrounded by media everywhere we go. Our world revolves around technology, and
Our generation is so different from past generations. We've grown up with technology,so it's really no surprise that we can't handle
being without it for long periods of time. Children now are more wrapped up in media than ever before, to the point that a cell phone in the hand of an 8-year-old isn't an uncommon thing to see. Since this assignment, I have realized we all should spend more time interacting in person and enjoying life, rather than constantly being preoccupied by the social media on our phones.

Capturing Kansas City
KU alumna creates area skylines
University graduate Jessica Janasz shows off her recent graphic works depicting Kansas City and Lawrence areas. She sells her prints on Etsy starting at $10.
MARIA SANCHEZ
@MariaSanchezKUJ
Jessica Janasz lives in Prairie Village and often travels along Interstate 35. When she comes up on Broadway Street after Mission Road and catches a glimpse of the Kansas City, Mo., skyline, she is in awe every time.
"It encompasses where you live, where home is," Janasz said.
Three years ago, the 2012 University graduate from Overland Park stumbled upon a neon-colored New York skyline print by artist John Lewis. It immediately caught her eye. As a creative photographer, she decided to try her hand at a new trade. After researching the history and design of Kansas City's well-known buildings, she found that its style was Art Deco. Janasz designed a skyline print with bold colors and geometric shapes and posted it onto Facebook.
"I wasn't trying to make it go
anywhere," Janasz said. "It was just a fun little project."
Although her skylines are design-oriented and Kansas City's architectural style is Art Deco, she said the style also speaks to the heart and spirit of the city.
"The era of Art Deco represented a time when people had a lot of faith in the social and technological progress of their city," Janasz said. "If you're from here, you have a little bit of pride with it."
After creating her original skyline design, she took a three-year absence from the design scene, during which she did photography for her business. Last month, she decided to get the metal print of the Kansas City skyline that she had designed years earlier to use as decor in her home. Her roommates instantly gave her positive feedback, so she decided to give it another try.
Janasz relaunched an Etsy site for her designs and received more than 800 views within the first week. Friends
and acquaintances contacted her through social media and encouraged her to market her product.
Utilizing her Kansas City contacts, Janasz landed a three-month contract with Ugly Glass & Company a few weeks ago. She has a booth in their shop that displays her skyline prints that she has designed, which will be available until December. She has also been working with Raygun, a T-shirt store. A batch of her designs sold out in just two weeks. Dead Leaf Designs also displays her work on First Fridays in Kansas City.
"People were just lending out their hands to help me get it out which was really cool," Janasz said.
Janasz said although she's surprised with how quickly her product has taken off, she can see how the success of Kansas City sports teams has played into her success. The Royals have made it to the World Series and Sporting KC has been doing well in its
season also.
"I might as well take advantage of Kansas City doing really well. So I did and that's why I made [the KC Sports Skyline]," she said.
In light of the Royals' continued success, Janasz released a Royals skyline print of Kauffman Stadium with a color scheme of blue. In just one day, this print raised $200 in sales.
Her skyline prints have not only captured Kansas City and its sporting teams, but other states and cities as well. Lawrence was the second skyline she ever designed, which features McCollum Hall, Allen Fieldhouse and Fraser Hall. Janasz has also taken on Phoenix, Houston, Dallas and Manhattan, Kan. Requests for others have also come in, such as the Seattle Mariners and a skyline of buildings from different cities.
Although Janasz said she has always loved the Kansas City skyline, she had not thought
that the skylines of other cities could mean so much to others. She said she didn't really think that people who had moved away from Kansas City or lawrence would be such a huge market.
Eileen Byrne, a 2014 graduate, purchased Janasz's skyline of Lawrence after she graduated and moved to Virginia. While Byrne attended KU, she lived in McCollum Hall. She said she would like something to remember it by since it will be torn down soon.
"It's a good reminder because I'm nowhere near Kansas anymore," Byrne said. "She does a really good job of capturing the vibe of that city." In about two weeks, Janasz plans on receiving a shipment of T-shirts with a Royals-themed print and hopes to keep marketing her bold skylines to the Kansas City and Lawrence areas through social media.

Local band Cowboy Indian Bear announces its split

ALEAH MILLINER news@kansan.com
Lawrence band Cowboy Indian Bear announced its split Oct. 16. Former member CJ Calhoun posted the announcement to the band's Facebook account to inform fans of the news. The band formed in 2008 and consisted of Calhoun and Marty Hillard from Topeka, Beau Bruns from Oskaloosa, and Katlyn Conroy and Danny Bowersox from Lawrence.
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
"It is all very amicable," Calhoun said. "They are my best friends for the rest of my life. We are all just doing lots of different things personally and musically right now. It is just harder to ask everyone to be on the same page schedule-wise. The band sort of ran its course. Our last album achieved what I personally wanted Cowboy to achieve, and I feel that we really succeeded."
Along with the announcement of the split, Cowboy posted an unreleased song called "I've Got a Home," which is available for free download and can be found on the band's Facebook profile.
Throughout the band's 7-year history, it played more than 200 shows in locations across the country, including opening for Florence and Machine.
"I have some amazing mem
ories from our tours," Conroy said. "The guys are my best friends in the entire world. Getting to hang out with them for weeks upon weeks was the best part."
All band members will be working on separate musical projects going forward, such as Hillard's project Ebony Tusks, a rap group, and Bowersox's band called Spirit of the Spirit. Conroy is working on her solo project under the name "La Guerre," a French word meaning war. Her new album "Sapphires" will be coming out in January, and she will be playing the Austin, Texas, music festival South by Southwest in March. Calhoun will also be releasing a new record early next year as part of his solo act, Bonvo Madrid.
"There was a point in time when I looked out at the crowd," Calhoun said. "A lot of people were there, and everyone was singing along. I felt like I was really achieving what I wanted to, and it was extremely fulfilling."
Calhoun said his favorite memory from the band is from a show they played at The Bottleneck in 2013.
In June of this year, Cowboy played at the Field Day Fest at The Bottleneck. The members knew this show would be their last, but did not make an announcement to anyone, keeping it to themselves.
"I just wanted to enjoy one last play showing with my best friends," Calhoun said.

Burger restaurant opens location in downtown Lawrence

A new location of the BurgerFi restaurant chain will open its doors on Massachusetts Street on Wednesday.
.
According to its website, the BurgerFi concept of providing a "better burger" with all-natural, free-range beef with no chemicals or additives originated four years ago in Delray Beach, Fla. The chain has now acquired 57 franchised restaurants.
Josh and Michelle Kurzban opened their first BurgerFi franchise in Leawood in
May, and are opening their second location in Lawrence at 918 Massachusetts St.
According to Michelle, the Lawrence location was originally set to open in May, but the date kept getting pushed back due to construction issues. Michelle said they had to adapt and make decisions differently. She said the biggest challenges were finding the right location and dealing with construction.
One decision was to keep both the brick wall in the back of the restaurant and the ceiling to keep the Law-

Designer Oscar de la Renta attends the Diane von Furstenberg Spring 2012 fashion show during Fashion Week in New York. De la Renta, a favorite of socialites and movie stars alike, has died. He was 82.
Legendary designer Oscar de la Renta dies
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — At his Fashion Week runway show in September, Oscar de la Renta sat in his usual spot: in a chair right inside the wings, where he could carefully inspect each model just as she was about to emerge in one of his sumptuous, impeccably constructed designs.
At the end of the show, the legendary designer himself emerged, supported by two of his models. He didn't walk on his own, and didn't go far, but he was beaming from ear to ear. He gave each model a peck on the cheek, and then returned to the wings, where models and staff could be heard cheering him enthusiastically.
De la Renta, who dressed first ladies, socialites and Hollywood stars for more than four decades, died Monday evening at his Connecticut home at age 82, only six weeks after that runway show. But not before another high-profile honor was bestowed on him: The most famous bride in the world, Amal Alamuddin, wore a custom, off-the-shoulder de la Renta gown to wed George Clooney in Venice. Photos of the smiling designer perched on a table at the dress fitting appeared in Vogue.
De la Renta died surrounded by family, friends and "more than a few dogs," according to a handwritten statement signed by his stepdaughter Eliza Reed Bolen and her husband, Alex Bolen. The statement did not specify a cause of death, but de la Renta had spoken in the
past of having cancer.
"He died exactly as he lived: with tremendous grace, great dignity and very much on his own terms," the statement said. "While our hearts are broken by the idea of life without Oscar, he is still very much with us. ... All that we have done, and all that we will do, is informed by his values and his spirit."
"His designs reflected his extraordinary personality: optimistic, fun, sunny, romantic."
ANNA WINTOUR
Vogue editor-in-chief
The late '60s and early 70s were a defining moment in U.S. fashion as New York-based designers carved out a look of their own that was finally taken seriously by Europeans. De la Renta and his peers, including the late Bill Blass, Halston and Geoffrey Beene, defined American style then and now.
De la Renta's specialty was eveningwear, though he also was known for chic daytime suits favored by the women who would gather at the Four Seasons or Le Cirque at lunchtime. His signature looks were voluminous skirts, exquisite embroideries and rich colors.
De la Renta was deeply admired by his fellow designers. "He set the bar," designer Dennis Basso said on Instagram Monday night. "But most of all he was a refined elegant gentleman."
The designer's path to New York's Seventh Avenue took an unlikely route: He left his native Dominican Republic at 18 to study painting in Spain, but soon became sidetracked by fashion. The wife of the U.S. ambassador saw some of his sketches and asked him to make a dress for her daughter — a dress that landed on the cover of Life magazine.
That led to an apprenticeship with Cristobal Balenciaga, and then de la Renta moved to France to work for Lanvin. By 1963, he was working for Elizabeth Arden couture in New York, and in 1965 he launched his own label.
He told The Associated Press in 2004 that his Hispanic roots had worked their way into his designs.
"I like light, color, luminosity. I like things full of color and vibrant," he said
While de la Renta made Manhattan his primary home, he often visited the Dominican Republic and kept a home there. Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour was a frequent visitor.
"His designs reflected his extraordinary personality: optimistic, fun, sunny, romantic," Wintour wrote in a remembrance on Tuesday. "He always said accept your friends for who they are, not for who you want them to be. Oscar was everything you could want a friend to be."
He also had a country home in Kent, Connecticut, where he died Monday. Gardening and dancing were among his favorite diversions from work. "I'm a very restless person. I'm always doing something. The creative process never stops," he said.

rence feel, Michelle said. She said BurgerFi Lawrence's goal is to grow and stay involved with the Lawrence community.
"My wife Michelle and I spent a lot of time in Florida, she's a body builder and nutritionist so we ate there about three days a week," Josh said.
They said thought it would be great to open a location in the Midwest. This year, BurgerFi placed No.2 in Restaurant Businesses Future 50: Fastest Growing Restaurants.
The Kurzbans decided to open their second location of the franchise in Lawrence because they said they believe the combination of all-natural ingredients and an inviting environment, consisting of rock music, high-definition TVs and low-cost beer would be appealing to college students. BurgerFi is based on locality and will be serving local produce and beers from Free State, Boulevard and 23rd Street breweries, Josh said.
The menu offers burgers, hot dogs, frozen custards and concretes, as well as options from the "secret menu." The regular menu offers a wide variety of burgers including the traditional cheeseburger, a brisket burger and a "build your own" burger. The secret menu consists of items such as the supreme burger, the alternative burger, the $ \frac{1}{2} $ and $ \frac{1}{2} $ burger, the "hippie veggie" and fries well done or "limp," which means the opposite of well done.
Angus and brisket are the only types of meat served at BurgerFi. Josh said both meats are from Montana and part of the United States Department of Agriculture's "Never Ever" program, meaning they never have any hormones, antibiotics or steroids. They also have two types of all-natural hot dogs, kobe beef and a chicken-apple dog. Josh said BurgerFi has a commitment to fresh ingredients and no frozen food except for its custard and fries, which are cut and soaked overnight at the restaurant.
Josh said the most popular burger at his other chain is the "breakfast all day" burger, which is a beef patty with cheese, hashbrowns, fried egg, grilled onion, bacon, maple syrup and ketchup. He said "Urban Fries," which are french fries with fresh parmesan, herb and garlic aioli sauce, and garlic mayo are the most popular side. BurgerFi also offers a healthy bun they call "Green Style," which Josh said is a bun made of lettuce.
BurgerFi is also working on setting up a delivery system for the Lawrence location. It will be open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Wednesday, while the restaurant will stay open until 3 a.m. Thursday through Saturday.

THE DAILY DEBATE
Should Clint Bowen remain head coach?
By Griffin Hughes
@GrigginJHughes
"NO"
Kansas football has returned to the cellar of the Big 12, a place it seems to call home almost every season. The worst part, though, is it's not because of a lack of talent that the Jayhawks find themselves so low on the Big 12 totem pole but rather a lack of coaching.
Charlie Weis was a terrible fit for the budding Jayhawk offense, and he was a terrible fit for Montell Cozart. John Reagan was an even worse fit for the offense. In fact, Clint Bowen's defense was the only positive aspect of a team whose offense was outside the top 100 in every major passing and yardage category. Even today they rank 114th in the country in yards per game and 123rd in points per game.
Clint Bowen has brought valuable experience as a defensive mind to Lawrence and has coached a defense that is in the upper echelon
of the Big 12, and should see at least linebacker Ben Heeney playing on Sundays.
However, Bowen is not a head coach. The team doesn't seem to have taken on his personality, so much as they have responded to the athletic department basically giving up on them. Inserting Michael Cummings was not a brilliant move; it was like trying to jumpstart a car with a AAA battery connected to an electric ice cream scooper.
Bowen's defensive mind is among the best in the country. While the offensive numbers would suggest Kansas is on the verge of demotion to the FCS, the defensive stats are not so horrific. It gives up just over 400 yards per game, is 73rd in the country and is 79th in points per game with 28.
However, even these stats lie, as the defense clearly loses steam every time it's forced out again in the fourth quarter. I think the recent stretch of decently played games is more a function of the team not wanting to end the season
In a perfect world, Bowen would return to coach the defense, and Vince Lombardi would rise from his grave and coach the Jayhawks.
However, Bowen has already said he will not step back down. I think Kansas not only needs to lose Bowen, but the rest of the coaching staff, including Reagan. This program has recruited one way and coached another, but to play a true spread style, the Jayhawks need a true spread coach. Scott Frost, the offensive coordinator for Oregon, remains my ideal plausible candidate. He says he's been itching for a head coaching job and there are pieces in Lawrence for him to work with, including dual threat Talent Cozart.
on a 10 game losing streak, and not Bowen's improved coaching ability.
Whether that happens, the Jayhawks need a real face lift, and Clint Bowen is not the guy to do it.

By Stella Liang @Stelly Liang
A after three games as interim head coach, Clint Bowen has
"YES"
Clint Bowen has shown he deserves to have the "interim" label removed. Sometimes in sports, there is something beyond the winloss record, which stands at 0-3 for Bowen so far.
The Jayhawks were not blown out in any of those three games. Because of the play on the field in those three games, nobody would have been surprised if Kansas had pulled out the victory, especially against Oklahoma State two weeks ago.
In those games, Kansas stopped being a doormat and started attacking. Bowen had a lot to do with why that happened.
For one thing, Bowen knows how to make the tough decisions and is not afraid to change up what isn't working. He has said repeatedly that players earn playing time week by week; nothing is ever guaranteed. Montell
Cozart might be a talented quarterback, but he wasn't showing that in games. Bowen was not afraid to make the switch to Michael Cummings, which seems to be improving the offense. I believe that if Cummings were not earning his playing time, and Cozart was, Bowen would make the decision to switch back.
Another thing Bowen brings is a culture change for Kansas football. He bleeds crimson and blue. He has garnered support when it had been running low. Bowen motivates his players to play hard for him.
In his first home game, there were more than 200 former teammates and players who came to support him and Kansas football. There is a Facebook page titled "BOWEN should be HC," which has more than 2,000 likes.
Those who oppose giving him the permanent job say he doesn't have enough experience, especially with the offensive side of the ball. He has been at Kansas, either as a player or a coach, for more than two decades, but doesn't
have any head-coaching experience. This is all true, but if he shows potential, he can learn all of it.
Head coaches should oversee all facets of the game, but shouldn't try to do more than they are capable of handling at one time. John Reagan is capable of running the offense, and Bowen trusts him to do that.
There are also people who point to Bowen's age, 41, as a detractor. He is young, but you don't have to go far to find someone whose age hasn't held him back. Kliff Kingsbury is the head coach for Texas Tech, Kansas' opponent last Saturday, and he is 35. To draw further comparisons, Kingsbury played collegially at Texas Tech.
Bowen might not be a flashy hire, but he is the right one for Kansas. If he wins even one of the remaining games this season, there should be no question who the head coach should be next year.

The San Francisco Giants defeated the Kansas City Royals 7-1 in Game 1 of the 2014 World Series. The game matched up the Wildcard teams from the American and National leagues for the first time since 2002.
The Giants began quickly, scoring three runs in the first inning. After taking a 1-0 lead on a double by third basemen Pablo Sandoval, right fielder Hunter Pence hit a two-run home run to center, scoring Sandoval.
The Giants continued their tear in the fourth inning, adding two more runs to extend

the lead to five.
The Royals offense stalled throughout the night, in large part due to to Giants starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner. Bumgarner pitched seven total innings, allowing only three hits on 106 pitches.
The lone bright spot for Kansas City's hitting came in the seventh when catcher Salvador Perez homered to left field making the lead 7-1.
The Giants bullpen took it from there, giving one hit in the final two innings, and handing the Royals their first loss of the 2014 postseason. Game 2 will be played in Kansas City tonight, before the series moves to San Francisco for Games 3 and 4, and Game 5 if necessary. First pitch is scheduled for 7:07 p.m.

COMMENTARY Texas, Iowa State may pose threat to Kansas' Big 12 basketball title
Last season, the big 12 was a powerhouse of college basketball excellence. The conference finished top in the RPI rankings and had an astounding 70 percent of its teams reach the NCAA tournament.
By Ben Felderstein
@ben felderstein
For the past 10 seasons, the Big 12 has belonged to Bill Self and the Kansas Jayhawks. With the longest active conference winning streak, Kansas will go into the 2014-15 campaign looking to extend its streak to 11.
Even with the departures of Andrew Wiggins and Joel Embiid, the jayhawks still sit atop the preseason conference projections. Their No.4 ranked recruiting class in the nation is largely responsible for that.
"The two rookies at Kansas, Cliff Alexander and Kelly Oubre, I really think both of them will make an impact," Chip Patterson of CBS Sports said. "I think they've had such great talent at Kansas that Perry Ellis gets overshadowed. I think Perry Ellis is their best player, at least in regards to production, and I think Perry Ellis will be in [the Player of the Year] discussion."
Junior Perry Ellis was named to the All-Big 12 Preseason Team. With Wiggins gone and the rest of the roster still young, Ellis will be the team's go-to scoring option this season.
Oubre, Alexander and freshman Devonte Graham are all large parts of Kansas' recruiting class. Alexander hopes to fit in down low to replace the big bodies of Embiid and Tarik Black. Oubre is a strong wing player with lock-down defense similar to Wiggins, and Graham is one of the first true point guards Kansas has had in a while.
Ellis has already won two Big 12 championships at Kansas, and if he hopes to keep his perfect championship slate clean, he will really have to step into a leadership role on the court.
Kansas is not the only Big 12 team with a strong incoming recruiting class. Texas is bringing in the No. 2 center in the nation in Myles Turner, who chose Texas over Kansas.
Turner and Alexander will have a lot of battles down low in the two meetings between potential Big 12 powerhouses. Kansas has Iowa State to worry about, as well.
Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg is quietly becoming one of the best coaches in the nation, and is projected as the preseason Big 12 coach of the year. Iowa State thrives at receiving transfer students, as they have had three out of the last four Big 12 newcomers of the year.
Kansas will have trouble fending off Texas and Iowa State at the top of the Big 12 this season, but with coach Bill Self on the sidelines, I've got my money on the Jayhawks taking home an 11th straight Big 12 regular season title.

NO WORRIES
Kansas not discouraged after two consecutive weekend shutouts
BEN CARROLL
@BCarroll91
For most teams in any sport, changes are made to get back on the winning track after a two-game losing streak, but that isn't the case for the Kansas soccer team.
Despite dropping a pair of games over the weekend, both to top 25 conference rivals, Kansas's locker room has no cause for concern, coach Mark Francis said.
Kansas lost a nailbiting match Friday evening to
"We feel like we have a good team; we won 14 games," Francis said. "There's a reason that we won 14 games. We just got to keep maintaining and doing the small things that have allowed us to be in that situation."
Texas Tech 1-0. According to both Francis and junior midfielder Liana Salazar, the lone goal was a once-in-a-lifetime goal, and Texas Tech's forward likely won't hit it again in her career. But it was enough to lift the Red Raiders over the Jayhawks. For Kansas, there are plenty of positives to take away from the match.
"I thought we played well, and in the second half I thought there were glimpses where we looked really good," Francis said. "We have to stick to what we're good at. When we start to play long or bang it in the box from deep, things like that, we're not good at that. When we stick with what we're good at, we're pretty good, so we have to be more consistent."
The Jayhawks were denied a comeback victory Sunday
"We're playing good. It's just soccer, it's just like that sometimes."

against West Virginia, which won 2-0. The Mountaineers, who were projected to win the Big 12 this season, made some key plays defensively, and their goalkeeper refused to allow a Kansas shot between the pipes.
Francis said his Jayhawks played one of the best games he's seen out of his players in
many years, and, although they lost their second conference game, they have nothing to hang their heads about.
"I thought the second half was the best 45 minutes we've played all year," Francis said. "We were phenomenal in the second half. I think if you ask [West Virginia's] staff, they would say the same thing. We were all over them."
Salazar, who is second in the Big 12 with nine goals, agrees with her coach.
"We're playing good," Salazar said. "It's just soccer, it's just like that sometimes."
Even though the Jayhawks likely will not win the conference after last weekend's two losses, there is still a lot to play for leading up to the
conference tournament, and eventually, the NCAA Tournament.
A rematch against West Virginia in the near future could happen, but Francis said he has no plans to change anything if the match with the Mountaineers takes place in Kansas City, Mo.
"We're coming off of a half where we've played as well as we've played all year." Francis said. "That has to be the level and the standard that we expect now from here on out as the minimum that we should be playing. If that's the case, then we're starting to play very, very well at the right time."

Jayhawks to face inconsistent Iowa State
16 1
BEN LIPDOWITZ/KANSAN
Middle blocker Janae Hall and outside hitter Chelsea Albers go up to block the ball against Texas on Oct. 14.
After dropping its first three Big 12 matches of the season, the Kansas volleyball team (15-5, 3-3) bounced back in a big way over the past week, winning all three of its matches while sweeping the Big 12's weekly individual awards.
KYLE PAPPAS

"We had a good week and can get right back into the top-half of the league standings," coach Ray Bechard said. "At 3-3 in the league and 15-5 overall, we've done that, but we've got a huge week coming up at Iowa State and with Texas Tech at home. If we could finish on a positive note after the first half of Big 12 play, I think that sets us up with really good momentum."
The Jayhawks will look to continue their hot streak Wednesday when they travel to Ames, Iowa, to take on Iowa State (10-7, 2-4).
Though taking on Iowa State on the road won't be the easiest environment in which to keep that momentum, the Cyclones have won their last six games within the confines of Hilton Coliseum.
Texas Tech despite gaining an early 2-1 advantage. But the week prior, they handed a talented Oklahoma squad its first Big 12 loss of the season in an impressive four-set victory.
Outside of its recent string of success at home, Iowa State has been anything but consistent, managing just a 5-5 record over its past 10 contests. Their last time out, the Cyclones fell in five sets to
"They're good at home," Bechard said. "They've got some great support, they've played at a high level for the past several years, and I'm sure that's not going to be different when we roll in there on Wednesday."
Despite its inconsistencies, Iowa State sits atop the Big 12 in a number of statistical categories, including kills (14.03 per set), assists (13.31 per set) and digs (16.43 per set). It is led by freshman outside hitter Alexis Conaway (2.22 kills per set, .337 hitting percentage) and sophomore setter Suzanne Horner (11.20 assists per set, 2.16 digs per set).
The layhawks are fresh off snagging all three of the conference's weekly individual awards for the first time in team history. Sophomore middle blocker Tayler Soucie, sophomore libero Cassie Wait and freshman setter Ainise Havilli were all honored. Soucie was awarded Offensive Player of the Week, Wait won Defensive Player of the Week and Havilli took Big 12 Rookie of the Week.
"All of them are very deserving and it's fun to see them getting recognized, but we'll see it as team recognition as well," Bechard said.
soucie recorded the best game of her young career last Saturday against TCU, notching a career-high 16 kills on a ridiculous .652 hitting percentage. Bechard has stressed the importance in setting up the Jayhawks' middle blockers with more opportunities as of late and that added emphasis has been apparent over the team's past few matches.

ELECTION GUIDE
VOTING ON
CIVIC ENGAGEMENT
This Election Day could have a major effect on the future of our current state of residence. Even if you're from out of state like I am, you have the opportunity to register to vote in Kansas instead. Because most of us are in the process of at least a four-year stay in Kansas, I recommend it. Though the acts of politicians affect us — specifically in terms of higher education funding — young people are often written off, especially in state and local elections. People don't expect us to care or vote, even though we are the future leaders of this state. Our voices matter because what happens in the Kansas Statehouse and in the U.S. Congress now will affect Jayhawks for years to come. We are united as Jayhawks, and that should extend to the state we live in. We deserve to have representation in political office, and the first step to gaining that is to make the politicians understand that we do care and we do matter.
— Kaillyn Klein, SLAB leadership member and senior from Bellevue, Neb.
Klein is an off-campus senator, is Chair of Newspaper Readership Advisory Board, a multicultural education fund committee member, and a volunteer for Wakefield for Congress campaign.
All it takes is making one extra errand run on Nov. 4 to vote, which you can do at the Burge Union on Election Day, or vote early at the Office of Multicultural Affairs between Oct. 27 and 31. If you're unsure about why your vote matters, there is a whole network of student organizations committed to helping you, regardless of your political leanings or because of them, so next time you walk past a table on Wescoe Beach, consider taking a few minutes out of your day to find out about them. Rock Chalk.
In this special voting section, we have laid out the issues that have the greatest impact on higher education and topics we as students care about. My hope is that you find this section informative, concise and easy to read. I can say I know more about voting in Kansas than I do in my home state of California. The more I've read about these
topics, the more I know and want to be civically engaged. I hope the same for all students.
The faces and names of Kansas's 2014 candidates appear on front lawn signs and between the daily news broadcast. There's no doubt it's voter season and Election Day is nearing.
The Kansan has been covering voting topics relevant to students since the semester started including registration information, the Taylor v. Kobach case and college affordability. Reporters covered Lynn Jenkins' visit with the Title IX Roundtable back in August and Greg Orman's presentation about college affordability yesterday.
So, don't forget to send in those advance ballots and show up to the correct polling sites. Look for our coverage of the day on Kansan.com

Kansas grabs spotlight in 2014 midterm election
7
BY ALLISON KITE
@ALLIE_KITE
In sharp contrast to past landslide races, Kansas has emerged as a state to watch, with three races making headlines.
Competitive races for governor, U.S. Senate and Kansas Secretary of State have voters talking about what's at stake in November.
GOVERNOR
Brownback won the 2010 gubernatorial election by a 31-point spread, but some of his policies have come under fire.
incumbent Republican Sam Brownback leads challenger Democrat Paul Davis on Oct. 21 by only .6 points, according to an average of several polls by Real Clear Politics.
What it means: The heat Brownback is getting makes this election an uphill battle for him to bring down moderate Democrat Davis.
Much of the anti-Brownback discussion in the race revolves around the declining tax revenue and potential debt because of tax cuts. University political science professor Burdett Loomis said the tax cuts have failed to stimulate the economy as promised.
"We're talking about a state where there was supposed to be great economic growth," Loomis said. "That's what the governor said. It was an experiment that if we cut taxes, businesses would flourish, wed have great economic growth and everything would be wonderful. That hasn't occurred."
Kelly Arnold, chair of the Kansas Republican Party, argued that the cuts were effective, citing the unemployment rate of 4.9 percent and job creation, and said the plan needs
more time to be effective.
[brownback] had to come in and make some major changes in the structure of our government, our administration to kind of just get over this hump, to turn the corner on an economic aspect of it," Arnold said.
SFNATE
The race for U.S. Senate has been equally tight. According to Real Clear Politics, Republican incumbent Pat Roberts has come back up in the polls to a dead tie. In September, when former Democratic candidate Chad Taylor withdrew, votes shifted toward independent Greg Orman, putting him in a 45.5 to 37.5 lead over Roberts. Arnold suggested the comeback is a function of Orman's perceived lack of stance on issues.
What it means: Loomis and Arnold said the Senate race will have more of an effect on the nation as a whole than the state. Arnold said control of the Senate could potentially depend heavily on the outcome in Kansas, especially because Orman has yet to announce which party he would caucus with.
"Do you want the Democrats to control the United States Senate, or do you want the Republicans? That's really what it boils down to," Arnold said.
The race for U.S. Senate began garnering attention when Roberts fought a tough primary against Milton Wolf and continued through Taylor's withdrawal. Loomis said the level of competition in the Senate race was not as predictable as the gubernatorial race, but losing a formerly solid Republican seat could make it more difficult for Republicans to take control of the Senate.
"It's odd because we're in a red
state, and it's contested," Loomis said. "It's odd because we have an independent candidate, so from a whole variety of ways, it sets itself up as a pretty good news story."
Brittany Bodenheimer, president of the KU Young Democrats, said she believes the tight race is a result of a general feeling of misdirection and a strong challenging candidate.
"Right now in Kansas there's a really strong attitude of anti-incumbency," she said. "People are less willing to re-elect people who are already in office because of the way things are going. With Pat Roberts, he's been in office for a long time now. I think, once again, we're seeing a lot of failed policy, but I think we have a really great alternative candidate."
SFORFTARY OF STATE
The race for Kansas Secretary of State, Loomis said is normally a relatively boring race, has become more competitive. According to Public Policy Polling, it's now a 6 point race with Kris Kobach leading 47 to 41. Current Secretary of State Kobach has received heat for the 2011-2012 law requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote, which has left many Kansas voters in suspense.
What it means: Kobach has said the law is a measure to prevent illegal voting by non-citizens. However, those opposed to the 2011-2012 law have argued it's more of a deterrent to would-be voters than a protection from voter fraud.
Loomis said he believed many of these voters would be democratic voters.
"In Kansas, he's being partisan in an office that should be run in a nonpartisan way," Loomis said. However, Loomis added that
However, Loomis added that
Democratic candidate Jean Schodorf hasn't stolen the show.
Arnold said following the legislature's passing of the proof of citizenship bill, it is up to the 105 election officials to implement it. He added that those officials have made it as easy as possible, by allowing voters to submit their proof via smartphone and trying to reach people on the list of voters in suspense.
"Schodorf has been an OK candidate. She hasn't raised very much money."
"I know several state representatives that have gone door-to-door to people that are on this list of people waiting to verify proof of citizenship to help them complete that transaction," Arnold said.
In September, Taylor sued Kobach for refusing to remove his name from the ballot, which Arnold said has pulled the Secretary of State's race into the limelight.
With only two week left until election day, races in Kansas remain extremely close.

KANSAS CONSTITUTION CHANGE WOULD ALLOW NONPROFITS TO HOLD RAFFLES
SAMS
BROWN
BY ALLISON KITE
@ALLIE_KITE
Kansas voters will decide Nov.4 whether charitable organizations should be able to hold fundraising raffles
An amendment to Article 15 Section 3 of the Kansas Constitution, introduced by Kansas Senator Jacob LaTurner, that would allow charitable organizations to conduct raffles, must be approved by referendum before it can be passed.
"
According to LaTurner, who serves Kansas Senate District 13, the new law would be helpful for organizations like his hometown volunteer fire department, which raffles off a car each year as a fundraiser. LaTurner said he wanted to make it legal to protect the fire department, fundraisers to fight cancer and other nonprofits.
"I mean, these are not criminals," he said. "These are wonderful people, and we just need to make sure that what they're doing is within the law."
If it passes the general election, the law could provide a new form of fundraising for Greek organizations on campus, which Dustin Struble, assistant director of Student Involvement and Leadership Center and Greek Life, said he believed could only help.
No one is publicly endorsing the 'no' vote on this issue. LaTurner said if the law passes the general election, the legislature will have to clarify implementation components with statute in the next session.
"It seems to me to be a win-win situation to be able to do something like this as long as people are being ethical about their fundraising" he said.
However, she added that for it to be beneficial for nonprofits, she believes the legislature should avoid taxing the income from raffles and placing restrictions on the process.

Joan Schultz, executive director of the Willow Domestic Violence Center, said she supported the legislation assuming that the intent of the bill is to help nonprofits fundraise without taxation.
It seems to me to be a win-win situation to be able to [hold raffles] as long as people are being ethical about their fundraising.
fundraise without taxation
"When you allow nonprofits to expand their way of gaining donations and funds, that's always a good thing," she said. "Since all nonprofits 501(c)3 are not subject to tax, those donations go straight to — in my case — survivors of domestic violence. That's always a good thing. It then becomes a public-private partnership, so to speak."

One vote could've made the difference in 1994 Kansas Race
ROBERT J. DOLE
CONSTITUTION OF POLITICS
WELCOME TO
JAMES HOYT/KANSAN
BY ALLISON KITE
@ALLIE_KITE
Nov. 8 marks the 20th anniversary of a Kansas House of Representatives race that was decided by a tiebreaker.
In the 1994 election between Joe Shriver and Danny Jones, the election was decided after multiple recounts by the drawing of a backgammon chip. In the initial count, Shriver, the incumbent Democrat, lost by 32 votes to the challenging Republican Jones.
When Shriver requested a recount, he won by seven votes, but the investigation didn't stop there. It took five recounts for District Judge Stephen Hill to declare the race a tie, according to a Topeka Capital-Journal article from January 1995. After the recounts, a special committee of the House performed its own recount only to come up with the same
conclusion.
"It was a matter of seven votes at the county level, and it was a matter when the court got through, it was a one vote race," said Shriver, who retired from the legislature in 2005 and is now living in Arkansas City. "When the legislature got done, it was an exact tie."
When the House committee came to the conclusion that the race was tied at 3,031 votes, the legislature had to break it.
"That had never happened before, so they didn't know how you were going to break the tie," said Barbara Ballard, associate director for the Dole Institute of Politics and Kansas State Representative since 1993.
Jones told Tim Shallenberger, the Speaker of the House at the time, that he wanted the tie to be broken by a lot, not a vote, a decision which infuriated some Republicans.
Ballard said Shallenberger was under pressure from House Republicans, who held the majority, to break the tie with a vote. However, a vote in the House would undoubtedly result in a victory for Republican Jones.
The recount process, the court case and the process by the legislature took nearly three months, from the time of the initial election in November to the tiebreaker in February, which meant Jones and Shriver were on hold for all that time.
"Danny Jones was saying in essence, 'If I were in the other person's shoes, I'd want somebody to give me a fair shake.' "Ballard said.
"We laugh about it now," Shriver said. "It was hard to laugh about it when it was going on because there was so much tension and so much pressure. Putting your life on hold like that is not fun."
Jene Vickrey, who has
served in the 6th District seat since 1993, said other members of the House had gotten to know both candidates over the three-month stretch, making it tough to know only one would win.
Finally, the day came for the tie to be broken. House Chief Clerk Janet Jones was tasked with pulling a backgammon chip from a plastic box. Ballard said the House was completely silent.
"I think everybody there was kind of under the same kind of feelings and stress because you knew they were both great guys, and somebody was going to lose and it had taken such a long time," Vickrey said.
"I just don't know how you could not have been very anxious about that. I think it was reflected in how quiet the House was." Ballard said.
The white chip pulled by Janet Jones signified a victory for Danny Jones.
Shriver returned home and continued his job as a firefighter, which had been held for him during the three-month period. He then went on to run against Jones in 1996 and win 4,456 to 3,322 — a 1,134-vote race and a 28.3 percent larger turnout.
— a 1,134-vote race and a 28.3 percent larger turnout.
"It makes again a case for when people turn out to vote, they make a difference in the outcome of elections," Ballard said. "Maybe because it's the community where they came from had lived with this for three months too and they saw the outcome of it, that this time you saw more people paying attention to this."
"When I do see him when he does come back, we're very cordial, and we laugh about it now," Shriver said.
Now, 20 years later, Shriver is retired in Arkansas City and is still friends with Jones.

University takes steps to address sexual assault
MCKENNA HARFORD
@McKennaHartford
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little discussed University steps to address sexual assault and donor influence on Wednesday afternoon.
SEXUAL ASSAULT
Gray-Little said that a group may be formed to work alongside the task force to address concerns about the effectiveness of the now-mandatory sexual assault training, and possibly create a new education program.
"My impression is that the programs we have now people listen to, and it goes kind of in one ear and out the other, so the question is can you have an educational or prevention program that actually gets the attention of the person
listening and helps them think about the consequences of their behavior in a more realistic way;" Gray-Little said. "That's really the goal."
The University has hired a temporary advocate at the Emily Taylor Center, who will guide students through the reporting process and provide support, in response to several groups who expressed concern on the issue.
"One of the reasons for the advocate is to make sure that a person understands what the policies and procedures mean and what they really imply should be done," Gray-Little said.
The University remains on the list of 85 schools currently under investigation by the Office of Civil Resources, which will evaluate Title IX policies and procedures for
compliance and clarity as well as look at staff training, but the investigation has not formally started. The chancellor said that no one from the federal office has come to the school yet and that it could take years for that to happen.
"They're probably overwhelmed with cases from universities on that list and their investigations tend to be rather slow anyway," Gray-Little said.
Although there have been an increasing number of reports to the Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access, the chancellor said she doesn't believe that there has been any concern coming from the office about investigating each report within the 60 days required by law.
"The increase in reports when more attention is brought to
it is a standard occurrence," Gray-Little said. "I have not heard that we have been unable to handle the cases that have come in. That may develop to be the case, in which case we would need to get additional help."
"I think that the question is whether academic programs or the nature of faculty research or things like that are determined by donors and for the most part that's what we want to avoid."
Kappa Sigma is being investigated by the University

tor alleged sexual assaults and is currently on suspension until Oct. 31, which the chancellor said was due to the seriousness of the accusations.
Gray-Little said that the University has received a few letters of concern from students, faculty, community members and alumni, but the University ranking seems to be unrelated to the scrutiny.
"While people are concerned about the issue and the occurrence of sexual assault, I think they are not thinking about this one university, the University of Kansas, as unusual or different and in a way that's too bad," Gray-Little said. "In another way, in terms of reputation, it's beneficial, but it's too bad that it is a common problem."
The chancellor said Koch Industries is not different from any other donor and that without donors, the University would not be able to fund new buildings, faculty positions and scholarships.
KOCH
However, donors do not have the ability to make decisions outside of choosing what to fund.
"Their relationship with the university is not unlike other foundations or individual donors who chose to support students, faculty, buildings or other things." Gray-Little said.
"I think that the question is whether academic programs or the nature of faculty research or things like that are determined by donors and for the most part that's what we want to avoid," Gray-Little said.

Investigation underway regarding missing midterms
CHANDLER BLANTON
@chandlerblanton
About 80 students in Ora McWilliams' Western Civilization II class were surprised to learn last week that the midterms they took on Oct. 8 were missing — and presumably stolen.
McWilliams was out of town at a conference the day of the exam, so the tests were administered by two department-approved proctors. The proctors put the completed midterms in manila envelopes and put them in McWilliams' mailbox. When McWilliams returned to campus, the tests were nowhere to be found.
Once we determined nobody in the program had the exams, we notified the Office of Public Safety," said Sandra Zimdars-Swartz, director of the Humanities and Western Civilization program. "We're following

University protocol by notifying campus police and people involved with privacy and turning things over to them to investigate."
The department is unable to say whether or not they have any suspects due to the investigation being ongoing, said Zimdars-Swartz.
"Until anyone is charged with misconduct or crime, it would be improper to name anyone as a suspect," said Danny Anderson, dean of liberal arts and sciences.
Quinn Kastner, a junior from Wichita, said that taking a replacement test was unfortunately the best option.
Student Senate met Wednesday evening to discuss excused absences within senate for athletes, as weil as concerns with bullied bus drivers and lighting off-campus. The senate also passed the resolution on the Student Health Services name change.
While the investigation is likely to continue for at least a week or two, students in the class are still wondering what's going to be done about their midterms. McWilliams declined to comment, but a student in the class has reported that the class has been given a take-home essay question to replace the midterm.

University hasn't funded on-call nurse for sexual assault exams
ROCHELLE VALVERDE
@RochelleVerde
Despite discussions about the need for a nurse to provide sexual assault examinations during the hours when most assaults occur, the University has not allocated the funds to pay for one.
Campus advocates like Angela Murphy, a graduate student who co-chairs the University's newly appointed Sexual Assault Task Force and is a member of the school's Title IX Committee, say that may discourage students from being examined.
Since January, one sexual assault-related exam has been performed at Watkins Health Services, although more than 50 sexual assaults have been reported to the University office that investigates the cases.
Currently, sexual assault victims who want an exam after normal business hours have to go to Lawrence Memorial Hospital or another hospital. That can be a problem for students who don't have transportation or have been drinking. According to IOA records, it is estimated that 75 percent of the cases reported at KU have involved drinking.
"For some students, calling a friend to drive you wherever, especially if there's alcohol involved, you're already getting into several issues for the victim, of access to this resource," Murphy said.
Murphy said in Title IX Committee meetings, students, faculty and administration officials have discussed the need for a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE), a nurse certified to conduct sexual assault examinations, to be available on-call so students who want exams after hours can get them.
"These suggestions were not met with enthusiasm," Murphy said. She said the response was "Much more
of a 'We are eons ahead of our peers in many regards'-type attitude coupled with indifference."
ROLE OF 10A
The Institutional Opportunity and Access Office has applied for a federal grant to fund an on-call SANE position. Neither Jane McQueeny, the executive director of IOA, nor other school officials have said why they need to go outside the University for funding. McQueeny said if IOA does not get the grant, she'll ask the Student Senate to fund the position.
Currently, Watkins has one SANE on staff who is available during business hours. A SANE is certified to do the forensic medical exam to collect DNA evidence after a sexual assault. This evidence is needed should the victim decide to report the crime to police.
Federal government statistics found that nearly 20 percent of all women on college campus are sexually assaulted during their college careers. McQueeny, in a previous grant application, said the number of assaults on campus could be as high as 2,800 per year.
The U.S. Justice Department report found that fewer than 5 percent of sexual assaults were reported to law enforcement. Diana Malott, associate director at Watkins, said the only exam that has been performed since January was performed this week. She said no exams were performed in 2013 although 20 students reported being sexually assaulted to IOA.
The University's one SANE-certified nurse, Kathy Guth, works during normal business hours. She said she thinks most sexual assault victims don't come to Watkins for the exam because most sexual assaults occur after the center is closed at 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. Watkins is open from noon to 4 p.m. on Saturdays and
closed Sundays.
"Most assaults are going to occur during the early morning between midnight and 6. That's the typical time," Guth said. "That doesn't mean that they couldn't come in, of course, afterwards, but often it's that they go to the emergency room."
According to the U.S. Department of Justice report "The Sexual Victimization of College Women", only about 12 percent of sexual assaults took place between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. Nearly 52 percent of rapes took place after midnight and 37. percent occurred between 6 p.m. and midnight.
Guth said after a sexual assault, a victim should not shower, change clothes, go to the bathroom, eat or drink, or brush their teeth before the forensic medical exam, in order to preserve evidence.
"We absolutely like to try as soon as possible, but we can do it up to five days afterward, but each day that passes then there's always a chance of not getting as good of evidence as we could," Guth said.
COSTS OF EXPANDING ACCESS
Douglas Deachair, director and chief of staff at Watkins, said in the year he has been in his position, the possibility of expanding SANE availability had not been directly brought to Watkins administration, but said he thinks it would be something worth exploring if it was determined there was a need.
The Kansas Coalition against Sexual and Domestic Violence (KCSDV) offers a SANE certification course. Joyce Grover, KCSDV executive director, said after a 40-hour training, the nurse observes exams done by a SANE, then can apply for certification. Grover said the course costs about $150. She said the most significant costs would be to pay nurses. Dechairo said a SANE exam takes two to four hours to perform and in addition to the SANE, it's likely that
at least two other personnel would be required. Because the county reimburses the cost of the exam itself, Dechario said Watkins would only be paying personnel for the additional hours. Based on this, Dechario estimated the cost to Watkins would be about $100 per exam.
"Cost-wise I don't know that that would be prohibitive," Dechairo said. "I think it really is more just logistics and organizing a group to come in in a timely manner to do it. That's probably the biggest thing."
McQueeny said the application for the Justice Assistance Grant (JAG), which requested grant funding for the on-call SANE, was submitted this semester and IOA will know by early November if it is approved. If denied, McQueeny said she would like to work with Student Senate to fund the additional SANE position.
Murphy said the task force would like to work with Watkins to expand the SANE program and they would prefer to recruit a nurse who already works at Watkins to get certified and be on call.
Another possibility would be partnering with Lawrence Memorial Hospital to work its on-call SANEs into a rotation that would also serve Watkins, Murphy said.

No charge for sexual assault medical exams
Victims are entitled to free forensic medical exams regardless of whether they intend to report the assault to police, said Joyce Grover, executive director of the Kansas Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence.
Even if victims have the forensic medical exam done at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, Guth said, they can still be referred back to Watkins for follow-up treatment.
Having a nurse certified in performing such an exam is crucial because the evidence collected can be used to prosecute the case. If the victim decides not to contact law enforcement at the time of the exam, the evidence, commonly called a "rape kit," is marked only with a case number. The Kansas Bureau of Investigation holds the kit for five years, and the victim can choose to file criminal charges anytime within that time span.
Other medical costs related to the assault, such as treatment for injuries or prescriptions to prevent HIV and STIs, should be either free up front or reimbursed later. Victims can file a claim to Crime Victims Compensation, a state agency, to cover any costs charged to them for sexual assault related treatment.
Kathy Guth, a certified Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) at Watkins Health Services at the University, said preventative treatment for gonorrhea and chlamydia are also free, as well as a pregnancy test if there is a chance of pregnancy. At Watkins, treatment of injuries related to the assault, such as stitches, is not free up front, Guth said. A victim could apply to the state for reimbursement of these costs.
Guth said sometimes victims are afraid that because they're students, their parents might have access to their records at Watkins. That is not the case, Guth said, and like all medical records, all treatments are confidential.

OIRP: Graduation and retention rates increase
KATE MILLER
@ Kate Miller
Freshman retention and graduation rates are improving at the University, according to recently released data from the Office of Institutional Research and Planning (OIRP).
The retention rate for the class of freshmen that entered the fall of 2013 is 80.4 percent and the six-year graduation rate is now 59.9 percent, said Sara Thomas Rosen, senior vice provost for academic affairs. The numbers were calculated after the 20th day of classes this semester and have yet to be officially published on the OIRP website.
In order to calculate graduation rate, the University counts all of the first time, full-time freshmen it welcomes in a fall semester, said Ann Cudd, vice provost and dean of undergraduate studies. This number is compared to the number of these students who graduate from the University four years later to create an accurate graduation rate.
Although some of these freshmen will enter into a professional school rather than graduate with a four-year bachelor's degree, OIRP only calculates the graduation rate for bachelor degree-seeking students. These students are removed from the statistics at the point at which they would have received a bachelor's degree.
The University calculates the graduation rate of up to six years for a given class. Cudd said this is because the national standard of comparison is six years, which factors in for a typical student's delay, be it multiple majors, studying
abroad or taking a year off.
The national rate of graduation after six years is 59 percent for public universities with open admissions, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. The University's six-year rate is slightly higher than the national average at 59.9 percent, but the University has an even higher goal for the future: a 70 percent six-year graduation rate by 2020.
Graduation and retention rates have been rising and falling over the history of data collection by the OIRP—statistics on the website date back to 1996—but this year's increased rates come three years after the University implemented its Bold Aspirations strategic plan for progression and retention. The plan outlines the top priorities for both the Lawrence and Edwards campuses. Graduation and retention are listed within the first goal of the document.
Cudd and Rosen are responsible for overseeing the implementation and success of the Bold Aspirations plan from orientation to graduation. These programs include a redesign of KU Core courses, supplemental instruction opportunities, and close tracking of students' progress at the University.
"One of the things we're looking at in more detail now, less than retention, is what we call progression," Rosen said. "[With progression.] not only do [the freshmen] retain, but they enter into the University after one year as sophomores with 30 credits, and then into their third year with 60 credit hours, and their fourth year with 90 credit hours. If students
are progressing with at least 30 hours a year, they graduate at a higher rate."
While progression is one of the hurdles students face, there are several others. Cudd said she has seen two major reasons for the low graduation and retention rate among KU students.
"I would say the biggest obstacle is poor preparation for college work," she said. "A student who comes in needing to take remedial math — that is a real barrier on-on-time graduation and can be a real barrier to even graduating at all."
The second obstacle students tend to face is a lack of focus and motivation, Cudd said. Students who enter the University with little idea of what they want to do can explore their options for too long, delaying their progression rate.
"A lot of students struggle from the very beginning," she said. "To some extent, it is good to explore and find something that really fits you, but the longer it takes a student to find that focus, the more at risk they are for dropping out or leaving KU."
"As our admissions office would say, we're not trying to recruit students as freshmen to the campus — we're trying to recruit graduates," she said. "We're here to graduate students and send them on to their careers. We have to do everything we can to help students be successful."
The renewed focus on retention and overall graduation rate has changed the way the University looks at recruitment, Rosen said.
With the recent outbreaks of Ebola in the United States, hospitals are preparing to handle and contain any possible outbreaks.
On Oct. 13, The University of Kansas Hospital reported that an individual called and visited the hospital with a high fever and other serious symptoms. The patient had recently worked on a medical boat off the west coast of Africa and was immediately isolated in a special infectious disease unit to undergo various tests. The patient later tested negative for Ebola. This was the second person observed for having Ebola. The first patient turned out to have contracted malaria.
IN BRIEF University of Kansas Hospital prepared for Ebola outbreak
Edited by Andrew Collins
IN BRIEF
KU Hospital Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Lee Norman, a medical doctor of 35 years, has followed and studied Ebola since its first outbreak in the '70s.
He confirmed the hospital would be able to treat any possible Ebola patient, or any other infectious disease patient. The tests to confirm Ebola take around 48 hours to complete and any patient who is suspected of contracting Ebola would still be placed under the correct quarantine procedures until confirmed negative.
Currently, the hospital has an Ebola treatment unit which was set up in time to handle the second patient who was suspected of having Ebola. Norman said the hospital's air
"The unit is very thought out for infection control purposes", Norman said.
filter is effective.
According to World Health Organization, Ebola is difficult to distinguish from other infectious diseases such as malaria, typhoid fever and meningitis. The only way to confirm that the symptoms (which include vomiting, fever, impaired liver and kidney function, and possible internal bleeding) is to perform a series of tests, such as an antigen-capture detection test or a serum neutralization test. These tests are performed under maximum biological containment to ensure that the virus isn't spread.
WHO also said health care workers who are tending to patients that are under observation for possibly having Ebola should take extra precautions to prevent contact with the patient's blood and body fluids and contaminated surfaces — for example, bedding or clothing. When in close contact, they also recommend that health care workers should wear face protection such as medical masks and goggles, gloves, and a long-sleeved gown.
"It is really critical that people keep their wits about them," Norman said. "This doesn't mean we let our guard down about Ebola, but we have to keep it in perspective because there are a lot more dangerous things out there than Ebola."

"It sucks that we have to take it all over again on such short notice," Kastner said. "But it was a good decision to mediate between fairness for the students and the department."
While the department insists it's doing the best it can to take care of the students affected by the incident, not everyone is fully satisfied with how things have been handled. Kyle Gegen, a senior from Nowthen, Minn., wants to see more communication between the department and the students going forward.
"It hasn't been a very transparent process," Gegen said. "All week we've just been getting random comments from our professor, but I'm sure I'm not alone in wanting to have more transparency in the process."

University should ban Greek Life on campus
F raternities and sororities have their
advantages. Members are part of organizations that, on paper, are dedicated to their community, academics leadership and service. Unfortunately, the greek system today is plagued with alarming problems that place the chapters and the universities they represent in a negative light. It seems doubtful that the system will change, and, because of this, it is time to end Greek Life.
According to a study conducted by the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators, fraternity men are significantly more likely than other male students to commit some form of sexual assault. Women who are members of sororities, the study finds, are 74 percent more likely than other female students to be victims. These statistics are alarming.
Several factors are likely contributing to these trends, including rampant alcohol use and a culture that encourages sexual assault, as studies indicate. Another study from Oklahoma State University, finds that fraternity culture tends to promote hypermasculinity, female subordination and male dominance — all traits that are correlated with a tendency toward sexual aggression. The study states these views often become normalized, leading to "the social construction of a rapeprone environment."
By Ike Uri
@IkeUri
The problems concerning Greek Life and sexual assault have been visible at our own university this semester. Recently, Kappa Sigma was placed on suspension over reports of sexual assault at a party. Victims from other instances of greek-related sexual assault have come forward recently, and the University has received
criticism for how it has handled these matters. These allegations not only hurt the chapters accused, they also place the University and the administration in a difficult situation.
Many members of the greek community at the University of Kansas have come forward, calling for change from within. I applaud these efforts and I respect the individuals who wish to address these problems. However, I find it difficult to believe the majority of greek members truly wish to change the system. If they did, these problems would not exist, or they would at least be efficiently dealt with. Because of this, I believe the
most effective solution is for universities to ban the traditional social fraternities and sororities.
Some colleges, such as Middlebury, Amherst and Williams, have recently put an end to greek activities with positive results, according to Newsweek. It is difficult to make this change, and the universities that have done so have faced challenges and backslash. Universities may be hesitant, too, because greek alumni tend to be the largest donors to their alma maters. However, the long-term benefits far outweigh the costs, and it is time for universities to address this long-standing issue. Although this would not automatically solve every problem on campus, the negative attention these institutions have encountered would be gone.
I'm not singling out any individuals or stating that those in the
greek system are bad people. I have friends in Greek Life who have benefitted greatly from their experience in their respective organizations, and I'm glad they've found such a positive experience at Kansas. However, the system, overall, is broken and antiquated, and needs to be abolished. I believe the University needs to make this change, though simply banning greek organizations will not be enough. University officials need to work to build a sense of community on campus, which Greek Life currently provides to its members. This would have a positive effect, not only on non-greek individuals, but also on the student body.

This upcoming election directly affects the students
Paul Davis, a candidate for governor
and Kansas House of Representatives minority leader, has said, "This election is as significant of one as there has been in my lifetime."
There is no group with more at stake in this election than students. Rarely do elections present such clear alternatives or represent such direct impact on the lives of voters as the race this year. Governor Brownback's administration has become notorious in the national media due to the extreme nature of his policies.
Brownback famously proclaimed his series of deep income tax cuts for the highest income bracket would provide a "shot of adrenaline" to the Kansas economy. Somehow, the result, anemic state revenue, appears to have come as a surprise. The immediate problem with the cataclysmic $688 million decline in revenue for
fiscal year 2014 is the corresponding fallout for state expenditure.
More than half the state budget is allocated for K-12 education. School funding levels have already been deemed unconstitutionally low by the Kansas Supreme Court, and according to former Kansas Budget Director Duane Goossen's Kansas Budget blog, this year's revenue receipts are falling short of last year's pace. This is before higher education is even accounted for. At Kansas, in-state tuition has Increased 324 percent in the past 12 years while state funding has increased only 6.1 percent, according to Kansas Board of Regents.
Paul Davis opposed this "experiment" while in the legislature, but Brownback has declared he will "hit the accelerator" on further scheduled cuts. On Nov. 4 we will be at a crossroads. In the coming years, over the term of the next elected governor, today's University

the stakes are not limited to the dire fiscal straits manufactured by radical ideological politics, nor are they merely education funding levels in the abstract. This is about people and families, about beginning life after undergraduate education and developing roots. Schools were a big part of why my parents came to Kansas to start a family, but other families won't be making that decision if these unprecedented policies persist. These decisions will determine the accessibility of a quality Kansas education, and the likelihood of many students, including myself, remaining in the

state.
Brownback has used political stunts to poach L.L.C. filings from existing Missouri businesses and cited it as growth while creating few actual new jobs. For all of these efforts, he has overlooked the surest form of investment in future prosperity there is: superior access to high quality education, fostering a skilled labor force and attracting new jobs, and a thriving economy.
With one hand, Brownback is shooing young college grads out of the state, while with the other hand he is averting them from Kansas' most prolific institutions — public universities. Now, he is juggling the future of
Kansas while trying to save his own skin.
Paul Davis is a proven champion of schools from his long tenure in the Kansas House of Representatives and an advocate for the prioritization of education.

2014 KU Dance Marathon to raise money for Children's Miracle Network

The 2014 KU Dance Marathon is taking place this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. in the Kansas Union.
Participants of the 2013 KU Dance Marathon take a break to listen to children's stories about how their diseases have affected their lives. This year, the KU Dance Marathon will be held on Oct. 25 and will raise money for the local Children's Miracle Network.
FILE PHOTO/KANSAN
According to their website, the KU Dance Marathon is one of the largest student-run philanthropies on campus, and raises money for the local Children's Miracle Network. During the KUDM, KU students dance or stand during the entirety of the event to show their support for kids and families from KU Pediatrics.
The day consists of games,
"It's their day to be a kid again and get away from the hospital. It's really rewarding to see their reaction."

entertainment from various campus groups including the dance crew Unity and the a cappella group Genuine Imitation, interaction with families from the hospital and the teaching of a dance that everyone performs at the
end of the night. Throughout the day, some of the Miracle families share their stories as well.
According to the KU Dance Marathon's official website, the concept of Dance Marathons was created and put into action in the early '90s. It was brought to Kansas in 2008 by alumni Alex Ross. Since it began, KUDM has raised more than $300,000. While the Dance Marathon brings in about 500 dancers and raises around $61,000 annually, the people organizing the event believe the philanthropy has potential to grow exponentially. Kylee Alvarez, a junior from Mason, Ohio, is the Dance Marathon's director of design. She is responsible for the logo and branding of the event and said she hopes to see the event grow.
According to their website, the foundation has raised more than $62 million nationally since its inception. Many of the people behind the Dance Marathon hope to eventually compete with other Dance Marathon schools such as Florida and Iowa that raise upwards of $1 million annually.
Co-director of recruitment and morale, Travis Kesinger, a sophomore from Topeka, said he has ambitions to make the Dance Marathon a more common part of campus life.
"We want people to know this is a movement on campus and in the nation," Alvarez said.
"I want to integrate Dance Marathon into the culture of KU," Kesinger said. "The dance marathon is something for a lot of schools that is just a given.
When you go to that school, you go to dance marathon or at least know about it. That's my ultimate goal."
While raising funds is the ultimate purpose of the event, the people involved with the event believe that the reward goes beyond just raising a lot of money for the cause. Both Alvarez and Kesinger said that
seeing the children's reactions is just as rewarding as the fundraising, if not more so.
"It's their day to be a kid again and get away from the hospital. It's really rewarding to see their reaction," Alvarez said.

Lawrence vs. Zombies returns from the dead for its second consecutive year

CAUTION
Last year, a local activity began called Lawrence vs. Zombies. This year, the undead are back with new twists and changes to the event that pits humans against zombies. The event already has around 160 confirmed attendees, twice as many as its first year.
"We've evolved our arena ambiance," said event coordinator Jason Gevargizian, a graduate student from Leawood. "There's definitely more of the fog machine being used and more strategic strobe-lighting for disorienting the players at key points."

LvZ will take place Friday and Saturday from 7 to 11 p.m. at Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave. Georgizian said the basic game mode entails people going into an arena-like setup as "humans" and then fighting "zombies" with Nerf gear. If the zombies tag a human, the human becomes a zombie as well.
Gevargizian said they are introducing ogres, which are invincible zombies.
"It has this awesome sumo suit set-up going on, and we have it decked out to make
Recent University graduate Allison Moses from Topeka serves as the game director for LvZ. She said the new kind of zombie is an "unexpected element" that allows humans to have more fun with the game.

it look a little more zombie-like, so hopefully fear will be in the human players' hearts," Gevargizian said.
Also included in LvZ are non-player characters (NPCs) who can either help or hinder the human side. Gevargizian said last year they had a merchant character who would enter the game periodically. He said human players could trade tickets, which serve as the game's post-apocalyptic currency, for ammo with the merchant.
He said there is a storyline to LvZ, but since they don't have anything published about it, and don't emphasize it during the event, it's more of a treat for
"For now it's implied connections between the NPCs," Gevargizian said. "This year, if you go into the Blue Lounge, you'll see on the bar there'll be a framed photo of him with the merchant."
At this year's event, directors are introducing a new, friendly NPC called the Proprietor, a character who will run the Blue Lounge safe area.
"That was the one NPC on [the humans'] side last year, and he ended up dying in Last Stand," Gevargizian said. "This year, he may or may not return as a zombie."
players who pay attention.
Gevargizian said the game was inspired by a game he created as a child, and after talking with friends in the KU Anime Club who were involved in zombie live action role-playing (LARP), they decided to create the larger event of Lawrence vs. Zombies.
"We got together and thought we have the resources to do this, and there's enough nerd overlap with zombie culture that we decided to go for it," Gevargizian said.
He said other members of the KU Anime Club primarily staff the event.
A
Gevargizian said the event can be a little nerve-racking
"Our games are a little less structured," Gevargizian said. "It's more about arena placement strategy, and more like free survival within an indoor setting."
Gevargizian said they began with rules similar to the zombie LARP his friends were in, and it eventually morphed into the modern LvZ.
because although he's excited to see how it plays out, he also wants to ensure it goes the way he expects. Moses said she is excited to see a lot of returning players come back this year and is also excited for the improved game mechanics.

Artwalk 2014 Artist Spotlight: Barbara Solberg
MINSEON KIM
@minseonkim94
Barbara Solberg has always been passionate about art. One of her earliest memories of art is when she was just five years old, painting on an easel board.
"I just dipped the brush in the paint and put the mark on the paper and was totally amazed." Solberg said. "Tood there and watched the red paint drip down the bottom."
Solberg is one of 46 participating artists in the Lawrence DIY Artwalk 2014, which will replace the Lawrence Artwalk this year. Participating artists in Douglas County will open up their studio or gallery to the public this weekend, enabling
direct interaction between the artists and the public. Main hours are Friday from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 6 p.m.
Artwork that will be featured in Solberg's studio includes her own version of petroglyphic images inspired from an ancient petroglyph image by the Sami people, reindeer herders from Alta, Norway.
Solberg is a University alumna and retired University continuing education faculty member. She said getting a degree from the University gave her the opportunity to broaden her artwork from traditional landscape and pastels to mixed media. With all the experimental pieces she created during her time
at Kansas, she started making collages by putting them together with stones, feathers and twigs she had collected. Being able to communicate with other artists at the University while working towards her degree also influenced her life as an artist.
"It's helpful to be around other artists and talk to them," she said. "That was an interesting part about going to KU, being with the young students. I have to say young kids have no fear in art. They will try anything and call it art. And I'm going, oh gosh, I don't know."
Kelly Simons, a junior from Albuquerque, N.M., studying theater design and technology, said Artwalk is a great opportunity for more people
Simons said Artwalk could also be a learning opportunity for students in particular.
to visit art galleries and not be overwhelmed.
"I think people are usually kind of afraid to go into the art gallery because I think that they have to be super fancy or they are expected to buy something," Simons said. "It's good that they set it in such a casual way so that people aren't afraid to go in and look at things."
Solberg also offers drawing classes at her studio, something she has been
"Especially for people who want to become artists, it's good to know what your peers are creating and also it's good to know how the whole gallery system works." Simons said.
doing for more than 25 years. Solberg has been teaching drawing lessons through the OSHER Lifelong Learning Institute at the University Continuing Education until she retired last year.
"You just need to find what your passion is," she said. "There's that word again. It's a passion. Art is."
Solberg said said her art aesthetic has grown over her life as she continued to both look at and paint more artwork.
"Making art is good for the soul," she said. "All art forms to me are important to the well rounded person and having a more interesting life."

Free State Comicon provides a low-cost venue for local comic book writers and artists to showcase their work to fans. The event also provides a central location for local and regional exhibitors to do business. Its mission is to provide great entertainment value to fans and to share the culture of comicon, Koltz said. The Free State Comicon will take place at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, 2110 Harper St., from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is $5.
"With the show so close to Halloween this year, we are really hoping to see some interesting cosplay," Klotz said.
"Every year's event is different from the last year's event," Klotz said. "We will have different exhibitors with different merchandise, different comic creators, all with new and interesting
projects that they love to talk about, different cosplay characters and different fans."
Comicon is known for its unique attendees. Klotz said it is nationally known as the "Fanfest of Nerds" where comic books fan are able to enjoy themselves by dressing up as their favorite cosplays and enjoy the environment of Comicon with other avid fans.
Craig Klotz, of Kansas City Fan Conventions, talks to convention attendees at 2013 Free State Comicon. Klotz said the proximity of this year's event to Halloween will hopefully lead to interesting costumes.
The characters from Star Wars or Star Trek have always been most popular at every Comicon, Klotz said. In the last few years, Free State Comicon has seen several of the characters from Doctor Who and Adventure Time.
"I like to be surprised, so my favorites are usually the ones you don't expect," Klotz said. "I'm kind of hoping to see a Rocket Raccoon roaming the convention floor this year after 'Guardians of the Galaxy' came out in the theater this year."
Joel Sanderson, a web developer at the University for Liberal Arts & Sciences and a comic book writer, will be a featured guest at Free State Comicon for his main work as Gunther Dedmund, a host of the local TV show, "The Basement Sublet of Horror." This will be his fourth straight appearance as a featured guest
at the event.
The event will also feature Richard Chamberlain, a writer for the blog "Monster Movie Kid" from Kansas City, Kan. Chamberlain specializes in horror films and creature features. He will attend the show to promote his blog, but is also the lead writer for another publication of Sanderson's comic that will make its debut at the show: "The Basement Sublet of Horror" magazine issues 1 and 2.
"Like-minded lovers of popular culture gathering to see and be seen, to meet and get sketches and autographs from those who create the comics, to talk about everything from 'Agents of Shield' to 'Walking Dead', and to find fun and unique merchandise that can only be found at a show like this," Klotz said. "Oh, and thousands upon thousands of comic books."

After the fashion show, three bands will play: OILS, Psychic Heat and La Guerre and a DJ, Gold Label Soul with Hector the Selector on the patio. Katrina Weiss, from Lincoln, Neb., producer of the event and employee at Arizona Trading Company, has previously modeled in Fashion Monsters shows. She said people love to dress up for
Halloween, and this event gives people an opportunity for a new Halloween tradition where people can dress up, see the show and have a good time.
Weiss said the event is geared towards the college crowd or people who work downtown — people around 21-30 years old which is a completely different audience than most charity events.

School surveys may give biased job picture
ERICA STAAB
@EricaMStaab
A blurb on the School of Journalism's website says, "83 percent of 2013 journalism graduates were employed full-time six months after graduating"
What the website doesn't say is the figure is based on surveys completed by 38 percent of graduates, or 194 of 500 students were emailed the survey.
Other programs also reported graduate job rates in 2013 based on responses from less than half of their graduating classes.
For example, the School of Architecture, Design and Planning's survey results showed that 97 percent of graduates had jobs after graduation. However, the results were based on completed surveys from 12 percent of the graduating class, or 31 of the program's 264 graduates. The College of Liberal Arts and Science, the School of Social Welfare and the School of Music also had response rates below 50 percent.
Such limited survey responses can produce an incomplete or inaccurate picture of how easy it will be for students to get jobs in their field after graduation. Experts caution there could be "response bias," meaning students hired after graduation are more likely to fill out school surveys than those who are unemployed.
"Having skewed employment data is not a problem unique to KU," said Donna Ginther, a professor of economics, who has done research on college graduation surveys and employment. "Other universities tend to have the same problems."
The School of Business, the School of Education and the School of Engineering had the highest response rates to surveys last year. Business had
a 91 percent response rate. The school of Education had a 77 percent response rate and the school of Engineering reported an 87 percent response rate.
Some schools are particularly vigorous in making sure surveys are filled out.
The School of Business requires that students fill out an exit survey prior to receiving their graduation tickets, or at check-in for the graduation ceremony. This ensures that most of these graduates fill out the survey, said Alii Wellinghof, office manager of the Business Career Service Center at the Business School.
"It is important to get accurate survey results because then those results can be reported to potential employers and students," Wellinghof said.
The School of Engineering uses email surveys,but asks for what students are doing beyond just jobs.The survey reports include students attending graduate school,volunteering and other pursuits.
"Similar to students in other majors, some School of Engineering students choose to pursue graduate school, participate in volunteer service like the Peace Corps, etc., instead of pursuing post graduation employment," said Cathy Schwabauer, the school's career services director. "Therefore, we refer to overall 'connection rate' versus employment rate to include the students who have chosen other types of career paths than going directly into the workforce."
The School of Architecture relies on email surveys immediately after graduation, but is looking at ways to boost response rates, said Charles Linn, director of communications at the school. In explaining the school's 12 percent response rate, Linn said students don't realize the importance of providing feedback. He said the school
also needs current email addresses for graduates.
Even with a higher response rate, Linn said he would not emphasize too much on whether the survey results reflect the school's quality.
"But in general, I would be careful not to stake too much importance on these post graduation surveys," Linn said. "They are a snapshot of a brief moment in these peoples' careers. The majority of graduates are very young and still are exploring many choices concerning what they want to do for the rest of their lives. Whether they have a job the moment they graduated is not necessarily a measure of how we are doing as a school."
The journalism school also relies on email surveys to graduates, sending them out six months after graduation. Patty Noland, the school's career development coordinator, said the school used to make the surveys a graduation requirement and got very low results.
"Very few journalism students have jobs when they graduate," Noland said. "That's why we like to send them out months after graduation by email."
Noland called the 38 percent survey response, "pretty high as far as surveys go" and said the school provides the most data it can. Ginther called the 38 percent response "reasonable." "10 percent would be problematic, but ideally we would want 90 percent," Ginther said. "The higher the response rate, the better.
"But it's also a reality that getting responses to surveys is difficult in general. It's really hard to get people to reply to a survey," Ginther said. "We don't know about the people who don't respond, and that's the problem with data that comes from a survey."

Arguments for and against the legalization of same-sex marriage were the topics of debate at the Dole Institute of Politics and the KU Law School's 2014 Constitution Day Program on Tuesday.
Brown said it is clear to him that in a short amount of time same-sex marriage will be the law of the land. He also said attorney generals and prosecuting attorneys have a legal and ethical obligation to follow what the courts are saying, and that they must grant equal opportunities to be married to same sex couples.
of marriage helps protect that "The idea that marriage is to protect the rights to bear children or to raise children or to ensure parenthood, those arguments don't hold up in today's society," Brown said. "Many people get married without any thought of ever having children."

"When an attorney general or a governor decides to expend the funds of a state to battle in a fight that is not winnable and is not constitutional and is discriminatory against its citizens, it is both the governor and that attorney general are violating their oaths of office and harming the citizens of their state," Brown said.

From left: Stephen McAllister, Thomas Fisher and David J. Brown discuss the debate over same-sex marriage at the Dole Institute of Politics' Constitution Day Program.
Barbara Ballard, associate director of the Dole Institute, said the event had been in the works since July. Recent Supreme Court rulings only gave the presenters that much more to discuss.
David Brown, an adjunct law professor at the University, argued that many people don't fall under the traditional "man marries woman" relationship and are now stepping forward to claim their rights, but Thomas Fisher, the solicitor general of Indiana, said the state's response has relied heavily on regulations based not only on text, but also on history and structure.
"From the state's point of view, that simply isn't there for purposes of same-sex marriage." Fisher said. "You just can't find the same historical roots for it that you
can for a traditional opposite sex marriage."
The only thing Brown and Fisher agreed on was that states defending same-sex marriage bans could have a hard road ahead.
Fisher said he is not optimistic about the state's chances if the Supreme Court finds its hand forced by the favorable rulings of state Supreme Courts and Circuit Courts.
"It's an unfortunate thing to have to plan for from my perspective as one who's defended these laws for so many years, but I think we've got to see the writing on the wall." Fisher said near the end of the debate.
Fisher said states have the right to regulate specifically on same-sex marriage. Fisher argued in the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals this summer to keep Indiana's ban on same-sex marriage in place, but was denied by the Seventh Circuit, who the Supreme Court ruled in favor of on Oct. 6.
Fisher said that states should encourage children be raised by their biological parents, and that the traditional definition
of marriage helps protect that.

Jayhawks head home to take on Red Raiders
KYLE PAPPAS
@KylePap
The Kansas volleyball team (15-5, 3-3) returns home to take on Texas Tech (15-5, 3-4) Saturday afternoon at the Horeksi Family Athletics Center.
The Jayhawks appear to be well on the road to recovery after suffering a 0-3 start to conference play. At the bottom of the Big 12 standings only a week ago, they currently sit in fourth, and will look to improve that position with a win against the Red Raiders.
Coach Ray Bechard's squad has seemed to find its happy medium over the past few matches. It's distributing the ball better than it has all season and giving its middle blockers an opportunity to become more involved. Senior outside hitter Chelsea Albers has been a force all season; her 3.17 kills per set are seventh-best in the Big 12, and she's recorded double-digit kills in six of her last eight contests.
While Albers has been the backbone of this Kansas team all year, there are several other players who have increased their contributions to propel the jayhawks out of the league's cellar as well. Sophomore outside hitter Taylor Soucie and sophomore libero Cassie Wait have been two such players. Each was awarded a Big 12 weekly award for the week of Oct. 12, with Soucie earning the offensive player of the week, and Wait earning defensive player of the week.
dropped three of its last four in the Big 12. After a light non-conference schedule that included matchups with Gardner-Webb, Incarnate Word and Texas-Pan American. Tech's sluggish start isn't necessarily surprising.
defensive player of the Though Soucie had been relatively quiet this season prior to her 16-kill performance against TCU, the sophomore has been extremely efficient with her opportunities - her .374 hitting percentage is second in the conference. Wait has been stellar on defense for Kansas, as her 4.81 digs per set rank third in the Big 12.
The Red Raiders are led by sophomore middle blocker Lauren Douglass and senior libero Rachel Brummit. Douglass, a transfer from Ole Miss who sat out last season due to NCAA rules, leads the offensive attack, averaging 2.62 kills per set on a .318 hitting percentage. Brummit, a 2013 honorable mention All-American, leads the defense, averaging 5.14 digs per set —good for second in the Big 12.
Texas Tech has struggled mightily since beginning conference play. After winning its first 13 matches, it's now
As a team, Tech's biggest strength is likely defense. The .160 hitting percentage it allows to opponents is secondbest in the league.
The match begins at 1 p.m. and will be televised on ESPN3.

3. KANSAS (15-5, 3-3)
After falling to 0-3 in conference play for the first time since 2011, Kansas has bounced back in a big way claiming three straight Big 12 wins. The Jayhawks rank top five as a team in every Big 12 statistical category and are first in conference kills with 354, averaging 14.16 per set. Even better for Kansas, the team brought home all three Big 12 weekly awards on Monday for the first time in program history. Sophomore middle Taylor Soucie was named Big 12 offensive player of the week, sophomore libero Cassie Wait brought home the defensive player of the week award and freshman settler Ainise Havilli was the
Who else? Texas is the only undefeated team left in conference and started the week ranked second in the country by the AVCA coaches. The Longhorns strong play coincides with the team's ability to hit and block with minimal errors. Texas leads the Big 12 in hitting percentage at .311, and also tops the conference in opponent hitting percentage at .143.

2. OKLAHOMA (14-5, 5-1) Oklahoma struggled with four losses before conference play began, but has been nothing short of spectacular since. The Sooners only conference loss was a shocker at Iowa State on Oct. 12, but the team has rebounded nicely with back-to-back conference wins since. A majority of Oklahoma's success comes from the team's two best hitters, sophomore Madison Ward and junior Kierra Holst. Ward ranks second in Big 12 kills per set with 4.05, and Holst is fourth on the list at 3.71 kills per conference match.
6. TEXAS TECH (15-4, 3-4) Texas Tech played a relatively weak nonconference schedule which resulted in a strong 12-0 start, but the team has faltered since by dropping four of seven. The Red Raiders 3-4 Big 12 record gives them one more conference win than West Virginia, who's in the fifth spot, but because the Mountaineers beat Texas Tech, that means the Raiders drop to sixth. One statistical category haunting Texas Tech in conference play has been the team's hitting percentage.
They rank dead last in the Big 12 with a .159 hitting percentage, and the teams 172 hitting errors also lead the league.
5. WEST VIRGINIA (12-8, 2-4) West Virginia has an odd statistic that no other Big 12 team can boast thus far. The Mountaineers are the lone conference team to take Texas to a fifth set this season, something only volleyball powerhouse Nebraska has been able to accomplish. Although they went on to lose the match, it still shows how much potential West Virginia has. Much of that potential comes from sophomore outside hitter Jordan Anderson. She leads the Big 12 in kills per conference match at 4.73, and her 5.0 points per set also rank her first in conference.
As mentioned in the Kansas State section, Baylor's one conference win surprisingly came against the Wildcats in Manhattan. The Bears have lost every conference match since, going 0-5, and have only taken one team to a fifth set during that span. Baylor earns the last spot in these rankings not only because they lost to TCU, but also because the team is statically worse than the Horned Frogs in multiple categories, including hitting percentage and blocks.

It was a toss up between TCU and Baylor for the eighth spot but because the Horned Frogs beat Baylor in the two teams only head-to-head match means TCU is just that much better. Statistically, the only thing going for TCU right now is serving. The Horned Frogs lead the conference in service aces per set with 1.27, and sophomore setter/outside hitter Trisha Langley sits atop the Big 12 with .60 aces per set.
The Cyclones have been a confusing bunch to say the least. Why? Iowa State has defeated contending conference teams like West Virginia, but has also lost to the low-ranked like TCU, which makes the team nearly impossible to rank. What's helping the team most is without a doubt the ability to dig and set the ball. Iowa State as a whole ranks first in conference in both categories, digging on average 16 balls per set, while assisting a kill 13.38 times per set.

4. KANSAS STATE (17-3, 4-2) Kansas State has already shown they can win big matches by beating Kansas in Lawrence, but the teams 3-1 loss at home against Baylor is still puzzling, and pushes them to fourth in these power rankings. Coaches around the country are a bit less skeptical than I, ranking Kansas State as the 22nd best team in the country, the only Big 12 squad besides Texas in the top 25. Kansas State leads the Big 12 in blocks per set with 3.11, and the team's senior Natali Jones leads the league individually with 1.68 blocks per set.

Sporting KC heads into MLS regular season finale
CHRISTIAN HARDY
@HardvNFL
Coming into the final week of the Major League Soccer regular season. Sporting Kansas City (14-7-12, 49 points) has its spot in the 10-team playoffs locked up. But the contest the team plays Sunday against the New York Red Bulls (12-11-10, 47 points) will be the most important game it plays this season.
The two teams will meet at Sporting Park, separated by only two points in the Eastern Conference. That difference could be made up by the Red Bulls - who currently sit at the No. 5 spot - with a win.
Kansas City also has the Columbus Crew (13-10-10, 49 points) to worry about. Columbus moved into the No. 4 spot with a 3-1 win against New York on Sunday. It has the same point total as Sporting KC, but trails on win total, which is the tiebreaker after points. The Crew has a very winnable game against the Philadelphia Union on Sunday afternoon. It has already defeated the Union twice this season.
Sporting KC can secure its No. 3 spot with a win or a Columbus loss on Sunday. But the game isn't a shoe-in for Sporting, as the team is 0-1-1 against New York this season.
The good news is manager Peter Vermes expects to have captain and anchor defender Matt Besler back for Sunday's match. Besler missed Sunday's match against the Union — a 2-1 loss — after leaving the United States Men's National Team friendly against Honduras with a thigh contusion. Vermes also held out midfielder Graham Zusi in the game against Philadelphia, but he will be ready to go Sunday.
As for starting goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum, who strained his calf in training last week and also missed Sunday's game, he's a question mark. Vermes said Gruenebaum has been ruled out for the final CONCACAF Champions League match against Deportivo Saprissa, although a determination hasn't been made for Sunday. Zusi won't play against Saprissa due to caution accumulation.
The lineup for Thursday's CCL contest in Costa Rica is expected to feature a mostly reserve squad on the pitch. Sporting KC can come away with a win, a draw or a loss by one goal, and advance to the knockout round of the CCL. It wouldn't be surprising to see Vermes load up defensively to ensure Saprissa gets limited opportunities.
that Vermes has his squad fresh and ready for Sunday's MLS match, and he's going to do that by resting them as much as he can in Thursday's contest.
It's of the utmost importance
Without a win, Sporting KC opens the door to be booted down to the bottom of the conference playoff seeding. If Kansas City's match results in a draw, Columbus would only need any win to jump Kansas City, though it would hold off the Red Bulls. If Kansas City loses, it would automatically drop to the No. 4 seed, and Columbus would need only a draw to drop Kansas City to No. 5.
Columbus' matchup with Philadelphia is set for 3 p.m. Sunday. Sporting KC's match against New York at Sporting Park is set for 7:30 p.m. Sunday and will air on ESPN2.
The No. 4 and No. 5 seed will meet in a single elimination game played either Oct. 29 or Oct. 30. The winner of that game will take No. 1 D.C. United in a two-game series on Nov. 1-2 and Nov. 8-9. The team with the most goals through the two games will advance. The No. 3 seed will match up with the No. 2 New England Revolution, who comes into the playoffs on fire.

The Mountaineers are the lone team in the conference without a Big 12 loss. They are coming off of a perfect weekend in which they scored five goals and gave up zero. They haven't lost a game since the O-2 loss at home against Duke on Aug. 29.

The Jayhawks are coming off of a losing weekend, but both losses came to top-25 teams, Texas Tech and West Virginia. Kansas did enough to win both games, but terrific goalkeeping them out
of the net. Coach Mark Francis said they are coming off of the best half they've played all season and if they can build on that then it will take them a long way. They have two games left, both of which are favorable matchups.

The Cowgirls have won their last three games, but neither team is in the top three of the Big 12 standings. They haven't won a game on the road all season, which could pose problems when they travel to Kansas City, Mo. for the Big 12 tournament. They currently sit in second place in the Big 12, but that could change after this weekend's set of games against West Virginia and Texas, both of which are on the road.

Agents seize fake World Series tickets
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Bogus World Series tickets worth tens of thousands of dollars, as well as counterfeit panties and other merchandise have been seized, federal authorities said Wednesday.
Homeland Security agents nabbed 126 counterfeit tickets before Game 1 between the Royals and the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman Shawn Neudauer said the tickets had a $43,000 street value.
It's the Royals' first trip to the championship in 29 years. The World Series games in Kansas City are mostly sold out, although the Royals have sold a smattering of
tickets they'd held in reserve each day. Some standing-room only tickets are selling for as much as $400 on legitimate resale sites.
Three people from New York and one person from Atlanta were arrested in Kansas and have been charged in the ticket scheme, Johnson County District Attorney Steve Howe said in a news release. Authorities suspect more sports fans bought bogus tickets from the suspects, and urged them to come forward.
Meanwhile, officials in Platte County, Missouri, have charged a homeless man with possessing 101 counterfeit T-shirts with trademark KC lettering, court records show.
Other counterfeit items seized by Homeland Security agents include baseball caps, cellphone cases,
sweatshirts, underwear and baby clothes, as well as equipment used to make the counterfeit items, Neudauer said. The value of those items wasn't immediately available.
Lindquist Press owner Eric Lindquist said he had no idea he violated copyright law when he printed a few dozen pairs of women's underwear with "Take the Crown" and "KC" across the rear for Birdies Panties in Kansas City. He said the design was hand-drawn.
Federal agents handcuffed him Tuesday and searched the Kansas City shop where he lives and works. Lindquist has not been charged.
"I was telling them that I have no interest in the Royals anymore or baseball in general," he said. "It was quite an education."

Ben Welle seeking repeat performance at El Paso golf tournament
The tournament features a 15-team field and is a par-72 course. Kansas finished fourth last year in El Paso, accumulating a three-round score of 854 (-10). Kansas is looking for its fourth top-five finish this season.
Kansas will compete in its penultimate tournament of the fall season this weekend in the Price's Give 'Em Five Invitational in El Paso, Texas.
In last year's showing, junior Ben Welle led the Jayhawks, tying for sixth and is looking for his third top-10 finish for the season. Welle is fresh off an eighth-place finish last weekend at the Sagamore Preview.
Kansas' lineup will feature senior Logan Philley, juniors Well and Connor Peck, sophomore Chase Hanna, and freshmen Brock Drogosch and Gary Daoust. The freshmen have regularly been rotated as Spencer Painton competed last week. One of the freshmen will partake in the individual competition.
"I feel really good about my game right now and returning to a course that I am familiar with and did well last year really gets me excited for Friday." Welle said.
"Ben was a huge help last year. This course sets up well for him and he drives the ball fairly straight," Kansas head coach Jamie Bermel aid. "If you can get the ball in the fairway there, you can take advantage of a lot of the holes."
The tournament will take place Friday through Sunday with each day presenting 18 holes.

THE DAILY DEBATE
Who is Kansas basketball's biggest threat to the Big 12 title this season?
By Connor Oberkrom @coberkro
"TEXAS"
After a few turbulent years in Austin, Rick Barnes has pieced together a team capable of threatening Kansas' Big 12 title reign. Texas returns all its starters from last year, all of its bench and added a top-five recruit in forward Myles Turner.
Texas, which beat Kansas last year in its first meeting in conference play, on paper will be a bigger threat this season with perhaps the best frontecourt in the Big 12. Junior center Cameron Ridley anchors Texas' defense again with a third year under his belt and will be even more effective as a rim protector with more depth behind him. Ridley averaged 2.2 blocks in just 25.6 minutes per game last year.
Turner, who many scouts have proclaimed is still a project offensively, is undoubtedly a potential wrecking force in the paint. He possesses a 7'3" wingspan, which will help him alter shots behind Ridley. Turner should come off the bench as the season starts behind senior forward Jonathan Holmes and might lobby for
more playing time later on.
more playing time later on. This trio of more than competent big men presents a plethora of problems for the Jayhawks, Kansas coach Bill Self has always had an affinity for playing through his big men, and there's no reason to think that ideology will shift. Perry Ellis, Kansas' most reliable offensive player, will shoulder a lot of the burden, as will freshman Cliff Alexander. While Kansas can trot out junior Jamari Traylor to match Texas' trio, it will be a tough task for Kansas to cruise to another Big 12 title.
While Texas is no juggernaut offensively with its returning guards shooting 32.8 percent from the perimeter last year, its big men will still present matchup problems for Kansas. Center Joel Embiid was one of
the best defenders and rim protectors in the country and now that task lies in the hands of Alexander. He is an undersized center at 6-foot-9 and according to draftexpress.com, "Fundamentals on defense still a work in progress." His lengthy wingspan, however, should be able to compensate for that.
Another concern for Kansas is the defensive production for junior power forward Perry Ellis. Ellis is more suited to guard at the top of the key and Traylor could see an uptick in playing time if teams start to get more physical like Texas. Ellis reportedly has worked on his defensive skills in the off-season and the Texas matchup should be a great gauge for his progress.

"IOWA STATE"

U unlike the NBA. success in college basketball is often
less about the talent of the individual players on the court and more about the coaches and the systems. Programs are defined by their coaches from Bill Self and Mike Krzyzewski to John Calipari and Tom Izzo, each of whom has their own unique system that leads to sustainable success.
That is why the Iowa State Cyclones are the biggest threat to Kansas' domination of the Big 12 conference and the most likely candidate to end the Jayhawks' streak of
Fred Hoiberg was announced as head coach of the Cyclones in April 2010 and since then he has led the Cyclones to three straight NCAA Tournament appearances, including a trip to the Sweet 16 last season. Before Hoiberg, The Cyclones hadn't made the tournament since 2005.

Hoiberg brought stability, toughness and raised expectations in Ames, Iowa, and has a implemented an offense that has netted the cyclones a .704 winning percentage over the past three seasons.
with all that said about coaching being more important than the players. Hoiberg has some excellent players to work with this upcoming season.
dre Kane and Melvin Ejim but will turn to sophomore guard Monte Morris and senior forward Dustin Hogue to replace that production. Morris "broke the NCAA record and led the nation with a 4.79 assist-to-turn-over ratio" in his freshman year, according to cylcones. com. Meanwhile, Hogue provides a dual-threat as a 3-pointer-shooting forward. Last season, Hogue finished second in the Big 12 in rebounding while shooting 34.4 percent from beyond the arc in 64 attempts.
DAILY DEBATE RESULTS: OCT. 22, 2014 Should Clint Bowen remain the head coach?
Junior forward Georges Niang has been a force for Hoiberg since joining the program in 2012. He was named to the Big 12 All-Rookie team and averaged 12.1 points and 4.6 rebounds as a freshman. Last season he made the All-Big 12 Third Team and reportedly shed 25 pounds after offseason foot surgery.
NO: 17.6%
The final factor for the Cyclones that threatens to unseat Kansas in the Big 12 is their home atmosphere. Much like Allen Fieldhouse, the home arena for the Cyclones, Hilton Coliseum, has a reputation as a very difficult place to win for opponents. In 16 home games last year, Iowa State lost only one contest: their matchup against the Jayhawks.

The women's golf team will compete at the Palmetto Intercollegiate at the Turtle Point Golf Club in Kiawah Island, S.C., this weekend.
The course has "narrow fairway corridors, small greens, strategically placed water hazards and plenty of out-of-bounds," according to the course's website. The site also says Turtle Point is extremely windy and shifts throughout the day.
Junior Yupaporn Kawinpakorn has finished
as the top individual for the team at two tournaments. She finished second 'at the Ron Moore Women's Intercollegiate the weekend of Oct. 10-12 with a score of 215, and tied for 10th at the Lady Paladin Invitational Sept. 21-23 with a score of 218. Kawinpakorn has finished under par three times and even par twice out of five total tournaments.
Last season, she made the All-Big 12 Conference Team, the Academic All-Big 12 First team, in addition to making the Big 12 All-Tournament Team in both 2012 and 2013.
She also led the team with a 74.46 scoring average for the season.
The team finished second out of 12 teams at the Ron Moore tournament Oct. 10-12. Coach Erin O'Neil said rough weather made the tournament challenging.
"Conditions were more difficult today and for the most part we didn't handle it as well as we could have," O'Neil said of the Kansas team, which entered the final round tied for fourth. "We mainly pushed too hard to make birdies on a day when pars were great."
The team tied for fifth out of 18 teams at the Lady Paladin tournament Sept. 21-23. O'Neil said the team gave away too many shots with doubles and triples (bogeys) at the tournament.
Sophomore Pornvipa Sakdee finished first at the Mariynn Smith Sunflower Invitational Sept. 8-9 with a score of 216. Eleven teams competed and Kansas finished second overall. Sakdee has finished under par three times and even par once out of four total tournaments. As a freshman last season, Sakdee tied for the team's second best score
at the Big 12 Championship with a 211.
Senior Gabriella DiMarco has also been a top placer for the team this season. She tied for sixth place at the Minnesota Invitational Sept. 15-16 with a score of 221. The team finished third out of 14 teams. DiMarco has finished under par once and even par once out of two tournaments played.
The team currently has a total of 3,581 strokes for the fall season.

Swimming and diving looks to double dual
Bryce Hinde, a junior from Fulton, swims the 150 yard breaststroke. The swimming and diving team hopes to continue its dominance in a double dual this weekend against Denver and Missouri State.
AMIE JUST
@Amie_Just
The Kansas swimming and diving team returns home after a dominating effort at Nebraska-Omaha last weekend. This weekend consists of a double dual with Denver and Missouri State.
Kansas is coming off a 99-41 win over Nebraska-Omaha at the "Freestyle Festival," where the swimmers only swam freestyle events. Kansas won all but one event. Junior Chelsie Miller won the 500-yard freestyle by posting a time in the top five of her career (5:01.44). She outpaced the second place swimmer by nearly six seconds.
Other swimmers who performed well were Yulduz Kuchkarova, Bryce Hinde, Pia Pavlic and Hannah Driscoll. Their 200-yard medley relay won the event.
and diving programs, while Kansas does not. Kansas cut the men's swimming and diving program after the 2001 season due to a multimillion dollar shortfall that was projected in the athletic department's budget for the following five years.
Both Denver and Missouri State have men's swimming
Coach Clark Campbell knows this all too well. His son, Canaan Campbell, swims for Missouri State. The younger Campbell is a freshman for the Bears and swims freestyle, butterfly and backstroke.
Missouri State has three men and two women hailing from the Sunflower State: Brady Arvesen of Westwood, Campbell of Lawrence, Emily Chesser of Wichita and Shawna Elsey of Olathe. Denver doesn't have any members on its team from Kansas.
The schools may not be Division I, but they are full of talent. Denver's freshman Ray Bornman and
sophomore Amanda Sanders were named swimmers of the week in the Summit League. Bornman has received the honor twice in her career. Missouri State's senior Garrett Nevels was named Mid-American Conference Men's Swimmer of the Week last week.
The Missouri State women are coming off of a narrow loss 120-121 against Drury, while the men are coming off of a 131-112 point win. Both Denver men and women won last weekend against Colorado School of Mines (Men), Colorado State (Women) and Nebraska-Omaha (Women).
Things get started for the two-day meet in Robinson Natatorium Friday at 5 p.m. Action resumes at the same place Saturday at noon.

Former Jayhawks make appearances in the NFL

Following its 34-21 loss to Texas Tech, the Kansas football team heads into the bye week (2-5, 0-4) with just five games remaining on the schedule. Meanwhile, the National Football League approaches the halfway mark of its own season.
In 2007, Kansas had arguably its best defense in school history. The team allowed just 16.4 points per game, thanks in large part to its cornerback duo of junior Aqib Talib and freshman Chris Harris. The two combined for seven interceptions and 24 pass deflections by jamming wide receivers at the line of scrimmage and making athletic plays on the ball. Each player logged a crucial interception in Kansas' 24-21 victory over No. 3 Virginia Tech in the Orange Bowl, with Talib's being taken by for the game's first touchdown.
Over the course of the first seven weeks, several former jayhawks have enjoyed strong seasons at the sport's highest level, including a couple of former Orange Bowl teammates reunited in the Mile High City.
TANNER HAWKINSON, GUARD
CINCINNATI BENGALS
Including Talib and Harris, Kansas currently has seven former players on an NFL roster. Southern California has the most alumni in the NFL with 49.
Talib and Harris are back doing business for the Denver Broncos, and look to make a deep playoff run.
Historically speaking, Kansas football has had 171 players drafted in the NFL, not including undrafted free agents. Of those 171, six were drafted in the top-10. Eleven Jayhawks have won a Super Bowl.
Kansas Career: Tanner Hawkinson got the full college football experience in his time at Kansas, and then some. An all-state defensive lineman in high school, Hawkinson was recruited by Mark Mangino as a tight-end, moved to the offensive line, was developed by Turner Gill and polished by Charlie Weis. He was named a freshman All-American in 2009 and a member of the second-team All Big-12 as a senior in 2012. NFL Career: Hawkinson
NFL Career: Hawkinson has played in two games so far after being drafted in the fifth round by the Bengals in 2013.
CHRIS HARRI, CORNERBACK
DENVER BRONCOS
Kansas Career: As a freshman in 2007, Harris was named to The Sporting News All-America Honorable Mention and All-Big 12 Freshman Team. The Associated Press also named him Big 12 Defensive Newcomer of the Year after starting 10 games with two interceptions that year. As a sophomore in 2008, Harris was moved to nickback and registered 59 tackles. His junior season he moved back to corner, but then as a senior, saw time at safety.
After four successful seasons in the Kansas secondary, Harris finished third all-time in Jayhawk tackles with 290.
NFL Career: Undrafted in 2011, Harris burst on the scene when Champ Bailey went down with injury. The only thing that has been able to stop Harris has been injuries. He tore his ACL in a divisional game against the Chargers and was unable to play in the AFC Championship and Super Bowl.
With 216 tackles, 2.5 sacks, 42 pass deflections, eight interceptions and two touchdowns, Harris was named the 2011 Denver Broncos Defensive Player of the Year, Breakout Player of the Year, and named to the NFL All-Rookie team.
In 2012, he recorded the longest interception return for a touchdown in Broncos history (98 yards) in a win over the Baltimore Ravens.
STEVEN JOHNSON, LINEBACKER DENVER BRONCOS
Kansas Career: A former walk-on to the team, Johnson was wherever the football was. As a junior, Johnson notched 95 tackles and two sacks followed up by 120 tackles, three pass deflections, two forced fumbles, and an interception his senior season.
NFL Career: Undrafted in 2012, he became an AFC Champion along with Harris in 2013. He has recorded 26 total tackles, a forced fumble, and also added a blocked a punt last season against the Philadelphia Eagles, returning it for a touchdown.
AQIB TALIB, CORNERBACK DENVER BRONCOS
York Jets.
VARRELL STUCKEY, SAFETY
SAN DIEGO CHARGERS
NFL Career: The 20th overall pick to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and a member of the 2013 Pro Bowl, Talib has logged 263 tackles, 78 pass deflections, and 25 interceptions and two forced fumbles. A few weeks ago, Talib's pick-six prevented a potentially gametying drive from the New
Kansas Career: A unanimous All-American (2007), Talib goes down as one of the best defensive backs to wear a Kansas uniform. His 13 interceptions rank second in school history, none more memorable than his pick-six in the Orange Bowl when Talib "felt like Deion (Sanders)."
Kansas Career: Another player on the Orange Bowl team, Kansas went 31-19 during Stuckey's four years on the field. After a 98-tackle season and an Insight Bowl victory, Stuckey was named to the 2008 All-Big 12 First Team. The Kansas City native had his best games against the Missouri Tigers, including his tomahawk-chop strip of Chase Daniel, and the two picks that helped Kansas come away with the 40-37 win in 2008.
NFL Career: A fourth round pick of the San Diego Chargers in 2010 and a two-time Chargers special teams captain, Stuckey has recorded 53 tackles, four forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.
ANTHONY COLLINS,
OFFENSIVE TACKLE
TAMPA RAY BUCCEANS
Kansas Career: Collins protected Todd Reesing's blind side on the way to a 12-1 Orange Bowl season. The junior left early for the draft after being named first-team All-Big 12, first-team AP All-American and an Outland Trophy finalist in 2007.
NFL Career: A fourth round pick in 2008 of the Cincinnati Bengals, Collins spent time with the Bengals from 2008-13 and signed with the Buccaneers this past March. Over his career, he has played in 65 games and made 31 starts.
BRADLEY MCDOUGALD, SAFETY TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS
Kansas Career: McDougald originally committed to local Ohio State, but switched to Kansas. He was recruited as a wide receiver under Mark Mangino and caught 33 passes for 318 yards as a true freshman, but switched to defense once Turner Gill took over and was named All-Big 12 second team in 2012. He finished the season eighth in the Big 12 in tackles with 92 and tied for 10th with three interceptions.
NFL Career: Undrafted in 2013, McDougald debuted in 2013 for the Kansas City Chiefs. This season, he has recorded four tackles so far for the Buccaneers.

Student sees World Series differently
BRIAN HILLIX
@DoubleHillix
Libby Sauder, a junior from Prairie Village, is experiencing the World Series from a different perspective than most Kansas City Royals fans.
KANSAN: What do you do?
SAUDER: I run memory cards between photographers and editors during the games, and I retrieve extra equipment if it's needed. I worked the home games for the ALCS and will do so for all the World Series home games, too.
KANSAN: Where are you stationed?
SAUDER: I move all over. There are two stations on the field, two near the fountains and two in the concourse.
KANSAN: How did you get the job?
SAUER: One of my journalism professors told me about the job, so I applied.
KANSAN: Are you a Royals fan?
SAUDER: Yeah, and I'm not allowed to root for the Royals, or wear Royals clothing.
KANSAN: Is that hard?
KANSAN: How many of you do that job?
SAUDER: Yes, one time I started clapping, and I felt really bad. Luckily I wasn't looking at any TV cameras.
SAUER: There are 12 of us, four are students and eight are adults.
KANSAN: What have you learned?
SAUDER: I've learned that little jobs are important to what's going on. Everyone is running around crazy trying to get all the players' reactions, and they're looking at us at the same time trying to give them the cards [to upload current photos].

GJ MELIA
@gjmelia
The 2014 World Series will move to San Francisco for Game 3 as the Kansas City Royals defeated the San Francisco Giants 7-2 Wednesday night.
The Giants jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the first inning, behind centerfelder Gregor Blanco's leadoff home run. The solo shot was the first leadoff home run in a World Series game since Dustin Pedroia of the Boston
Red Sox in 2007.
Kansas City designated hitter Billy Butler responded in the bottom of the first, driving in centerfielder Lorenzo Cain from second on a two out single.
In the second inning, second baseman Omar Infante doubled off the left field wall to get into scoring position. The Royals then took their first lead of the World Series with a double from shortstop Alcides Escobar.
Following a scoreless third,
Infante followed Perez's double with a two-run homer over the right field wall to extend the lead to 7-2.
the Giants were able to knot the game back up with first baseman Brandon Belt's one out double. The Royals were able to turn a double play fly out two right, and Belt caught in between second and third. Butler picked up his second RBI of the night on a single in the sixth, scoring Cain. Outfielder Terrance Gore pinch ran for Butler, and catcher Salvador Perez's doubled to right center drove in Gore and first baseman Eric Hosmer. The sixth inning didn't end there;
Relievers Kelvin Herrera, Wade Davis and Greg Holland took the reins from there, closing out a Game 2 win, and tying the Series at 1-1.
Thursday will be a travel day for the teams, and the Series will continue Friday night at AT&T Park. First pitch is scheduled at 7:07 p.m.

COMMENTARY Rebuilding and tanking aren't connected to NBA
By Connor Oberkrom
@coberkro
When the NBA incorporated its new Collective Bargaining Agreement a few years ago, its main premise was to promote competitive balance, a tough task for any professional sport. It clearly stifled and altered more creative thinking on how to construct a modern-NBA team.
A proposed lottery reform would have given the worst four teams equal odds of winning the top pick, as opposed to the current system that gives the worst team the greatest odds. The proposal was meant to prevent a team from "tanking," or doing bad on purpose to try and lock up a high draft pick.
On Wednesday, the NBA voted down the proposed lottery reform, which was seen as a shock considering the perception of the shameless tanking orchestrated by Philadelphia 76ers general manager Sam Hinkie, who sacrificed short-term suffering for potential long-term success.
Tanking may not be a pleasant for a fan, but in the NBA there's no reward for being in the middle of the pack. You want to be in contention or want to be downright bad to ensure you can get a good draft pick.
There's absolutely no proven evidence of tanking. Sure, teams have been accused of it, and its not right when a team gets three No.1 picks in four years in the case of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
But teams look ahead in the future and winning 46 games doesn't help them do that. The Cavs traded for Luol Deng in the middle of the season in hope they could make a run at the No. 8 seed in the eastern conference and still wound up picking five
son wouldn't up pranking there.
There's absolutely no advantage to finish near the middle of the league. While the perception is a pervasive problem in the league, it's not as if owners of teams are wholeheartedly supporting it. They allegedly aren't specifically telling their executives to tank, they want the revenue. Tanking only brushes off ticket holders and sponsors.
Teams don't try to lose, but rather gain assets in the form of cap space and future draft picks in the big picture. NBA isn't a one-year business; teams are more conscious in mortgaging current losing for future gains. Also, sustained success is obviously harder for smaller-market teams not wanting to go over the luxury tax. Drafting franchise players is the main avenue to achieve this.
Before buying into the idea of tanking, realize that small-market teams have to do what they can in order to thrive in the most effective way. They're not throwing away its season, they are just playing the game that the market dictates.

Jayhawks fall to Cyclones in five sets, ending winning streak
KYLE PAPPAS
@KylePap
Kansas volleyball (15-6, 3-4 Big 12) fell to Iowa State (11-7, 3-4 Big 12) in a five-set thriller, 25-18. 16-25, 17-25, 25-21, 12-15, at Hilton Coliseum on Wednesday evening. With the loss, the Jayhawks end their three-game winning streak and drop to fifth place in the Big 12.
"They've had success at home, but there was
opportunity there for us," coach Ray Bechard said. "I guess to a neutral observer, it was a pretty competitive match. We've got to figure out some things as far as who we are when it comes to our competitive personality."
Increasingly utilizing their middle blockers, sophomore Tayler Soucie and freshman Kelsis Payne were major contributors once again. Soucie propelled the Jayhawks to a hot start,
ending the first set with a team-high four kills and contributing on a couple of key blocks. Payne would go on to end the night with a career-high 13 kills and a game-high .357 hitting percentage.
percentage.
But after comfortably taking set one, Kansas struggled in sets two and three, to fall behind 2-1. In the second set, Iowa State jumped out to an early 5-0 lead and never looked back, taking the set 25-16.
Set three was more of the same, as the Cyclones again shot out to a 5-0 advantage. The Jayhawks were simply unable to find an answer for junior libero Caitlin Nolan, who tied a Big 12 record with 43 digs.
The Jayhawks bounced back to take the fourth set, pushing the match to a deciding set five. The Cyclones jumped out to an early 7-3 lead, but Kansas bounced back to tie the match at 8-8. It kept
things close but eventually dropped the set 12-15.
"We played one of our better first sets," Bechard said. "I don't know why you wouldn't respond better in sets two and three, but then we got back in it in the fourth. Fifth sets on the road are difficult. They made more plays than we did."

Despite its first Big 12 losses of the season this past weekend against Texas Tech and West Virginia, No. 15 Kansas is ready to bounce back against Iowa State University on Senior Night this Friday.
The team huddles before the Texas Tech game on Oct. 17. Kansas lost to Tech 0-1 but is hoping to bounce back against Iowa State on Friday.
"They were tough losses because I think we played really hard and we also played really well, which is what I think made them so disappointing," senior defender Caroline Van Slambrouck said. "I thought we outplayed both teams and we were the better side, but you know, that's just the nature of soccer sometimes. You keep possession, you control the game, and you still don't win. The team isn't down; we're disappointed, but we've turned the page already, and we're ready to take on Iowa State this weekend."
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
first Issue State on Friday
ISU's only wins of the season have come from nonconference play, as the Cyclones are 0-5 in the Big 12. The record is misleading, coach Mark Francis said. ISU is much better than it was last year and has gained a lot of athleticism, which will be hard to counter.
"They need points right now to finish in the top eight [to qualify for the Big 12 tournament]." Francis said. "They've been given an opportunity to do that, so
I'm sure they'll be coming out here fired up to get some points"
The Jayhawks played their starters for the majority of the weekend, and Van Slambrouck and Francis agreed rest and recovery is essential to prepare for Friday.
Even with a hungry team coming in, the Jayhawks aren't worrying about the
other sideline.
The Jayhawks will honor six senior members of the team during a Senior Night presentation. According to Francis, this year's seniors have done an excellent job,
"We try not to think too much about what [ISU] is going to do because we know if we play our game we will be fine;" Van Slambrouck said.
and he hopes to finish their home careers with a win.
"For this senior group, they've been great for us," Francis said. "Especially this year in terms of leadership and keeping the team on track. They've done a good job."
The prospect of Senior Night drawing closer is a bittersweet one, Van Slambrouck said,
and she is excited to play in the atmosphere at Rock Chalk Park one more time.
"I'm looking forward to winning and playing with the team," Van Slambrouck said. "It's always a great opportunity to get to play with the girls."

GaDuGi SafeCenter's Executive Director Chrissy Heikkila said the money received from SSAB will be used to maintain a 24/7 hotline, support its staff and do campus outreach. The funds also allow the center to directly help the victims of sexual assault or domestic violence.
Student Senate's Student Safety Advisory Board donated $86,150 this year to Headquarters Counseling Center, GaDuGi SafeCenter and Willow Domestic Violence Center, all of which are local organizations that help victims and families of sexual assault or domestic violence.
"Last year we served 256 individuals, and we have already exceeded that number this year," Heikkila said. "That's just the individuals who have requested our services. We have spoken and interacted with thousands of KU students through engagement and education purposes."
The donation came after Student Senate raised the
supportive services fee from $0 in 2013 to $1.95 per student last year, said Garrett Farlow, a sophomore from Tecumseh and chair of the SSAB. The supportive services fee is part of the student services fee all students pay at the beginning of the semester. Supportive services fees could then be used to allocate money to local organizations that have requested funding to keep their operating costs low and free to all.
"Not only is the supportive services fee helping out KU students, but it's also helping the community that KU students are living in," Farlow said.

This year, the SSAB had an $88,000 budget, which is almost three times more than last year's budget of less than $30,000, Farlow said. The board's funding comes from both the supportive services fee and the campus safety fee. Although the supportive services fee has been raised, the campus safety fee remains $0. Farlow said he hopes to see the campus safety fee rise and eventually balance out the higher supportive services fee.

"I think that Ferguson, in a similar manner, can tell us a lot about issues of space, of race, of inequality, of politics today." Lang said in the press release.
Bobo also hopes the panel
will bring awareness to the reality of race in America today.

Google executive Alan Eustace is shown before a test flight for his Friday, Oct. 24 leap from the edge of space that broke the sound barrier and set several skydiving records over the southern New Mexico desert outside Roswell. Eustace's supersonic jump was part of a project by Paragon Space Development Corp. and its Stratospheric Explorer team, which has been working secretly for years to develop a self-contained commercial spacesuit that would allow people to explore some 20 miles above the Earth's surface.
Google exec sets records with near-space jump
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ROSWELL, N.M. Google executive Alan Eustace broke the sound barrier and set several skydiving records over the southern New Mexico desert early Friday after taking a big leap from the edge of space.
The technology that has gone into developing the balloon, the spacesuit and the other systems that were used in Friday's launch will be used to advance commercial spaceflight, namely efforts by Arizona-based World View
Eustace's supersonic jump was part of a project by Paragon Space Development Corp. and its Stratospheric Explorer team, which has been working secretly for years to develop a self-contained commercial spacesuit that would allow people to explore some 20 miles above the Earth's surface.
"This has opened up endless possibilities for humans to explore previously seldom visited parts of our stratosphere," Grant Anderson, Paragon president and CEO, said in a statement.
Friday's success marked a major step forward in that effort, company officials said.
"This has opened up endless possibilities for humans to explore previously seldom visited parts of our stratosphere."
After nearly three years of intense planning, development and training, Eustace began his ascent via a high-altitude, helium-filled balloon just as the sun was rising. It took more than two hours to hit a record altitude of 135,908 feet, from which he separated himself from the balloon and started plummeting back to Earth.

Enterprises to take paying tourists up in a high-altitude balloon and luxury capsule starting in late 2016.
As more people head into the stratosphere, the spacesuits, could be adapted for emergency rescues or other scientific endeavors, officials said.
Wearing his specially designed spacesuit, Eustace hit a top velocity of 822 mph during a freefall that lasted 41/2 minutes.
The supersonic skydive happened with little fanfare, out of the media spotlight, unlike the 2012 attempt by daredevil Felix Baumgartner and the Red Bull Stratos team. Baumgartner, who was taken aloft in a capsule with the help of millions of dollars in sponsorships, had set the previous altitude record by jumping from 128,100 feet.
Jim Hayhurst, director of competition at the United States Parachute Association, was the jump's official observer. He said
Eustace deployed a drogue parachute that gave him incredible stability and control despite the massive Mach 1.23 speed reached during the freefall.
"He just said it was a fabulous view. He was thrilled," Hayhurst said of his conversation with Eustace after he landed.
Watching Eustace and his team prepare was historic, said Hayhurst, likening the scene to what it must have been like to watch Ryan Airlines Corp. build the Spirit of St. Louis in the late 1920s.
Eustace didn't feel it when he broke the sound barrier, but the ground crew certainly heard the resulting sonic boom, Hayhurst said.
"This was a bunch of quiet engineers doing the job," he said. "This is a scientific endeavor. This is a stepping stone to space."

A speaker will explore sexual assault and domestic violence through race and class lenses Monday at 7:30 p.m.at the Lied Center.
Melissa Harris-Perry, an author, professor and television show host, will speak about sexual assault from a global and local perspective, as well as the roles individuals play in creating solutions to address violence in the community. No tickets are required and the event is free.
"It is essential that we all don't lose sight of the ways sexual violence affects us personally," Rose-Mockry said. "It's easy
Rose-Mockry said it is important to gain perspective on sexual violence as a global issue and to be able to see how the University is involved.

Rose-Mockry said attendance at previous lectures in the series was high. Bulaong Ramiz, the program coordinator for the Office of Multicultural Affairs, said she thinks it will be popular.
An event, "Coming to the Table: What we can do to make a difference,"to continue the discussion of creating solutions to sexual violence and abuse will be held Tuesday at noon in the Office of Multicultural Affairs.
"I hope it will be packed," Ramiz said. "I hope it ignites [those in attendance] to be active and continue the dialogue on campus."

3 fight for lives after Wash. school shooting
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MARYSVILLE, Wash. Three students fought for their lives in Seattle-area hospitals Sunday, days after being shot in the head during an attack at a high school on Washington's Puget Sound.
MP strong
The close-knit community, meanwhile, on the nearby Tulalip Indian reservation struggled with the news that the shooter was a popular teenager from one of their more well-known families.
A memorial grows Saturday, Oct. 25, at the entrance to Marysville Pilchuck High School the day after a shooting in the school cafeteria left two dead and four wounded. The shooter was among the dead.
"We can't answer that question," said Matt Remle, who has an office at Marysville-Pilchuck High School. "But we try to make sense of the senselessness."
ASSOCIATED PRESS
a tribal guidance counselor said no one knows what prompted 14-year-old Jaylen Fryberg to walk into a busy school lunchroom and open fire Friday.
Churches have held vigils since the attack that killed one student and wounded four others, including two of Fryberg's cousins, and gatherings were planned Sunday afternoon in the high school gym and at a tribal center.
In the nearby community of Oso, where a mudslide this spring killed dozens, people planned to gather to write condolence letters and cards.
Of the wounded students, only 14-year-old Nate Hatch showed improvement, though he remained in serious condition in intensive care at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. Fifteen-year-old Andrew Fryberg also remained in critical condition in intensive care. Both are cousins of Jaylen Fryberg.
Meanwhile, 14-year-olds Shaylee Chuckulnaskit and Gia Sioriano remained in critical condition in intensive care at Providence Regional Medical Center Everett.
The girl killed in the shooting hasn't been officially identified.
Fryberg died in the attack, after a first-year teacher intervened. It's unclear if he intentionally killed himself or if the gun went off in a struggle with teacher Megan Silberberger.
medical examiner's office said it was unlikely to have autopsy results before Monday.
Remile said he knew Fryberg and the other students well.
The Snohomish County
"My office has been a comfort space for Native students," he said. "Many will come by and have lunch there, including
the kids involved in the shoot ing."
they all were "really happy, smiling kids," Remle said. "They were a polite group. A lot of the kids from the freshman class were close-knit. Loving.
"These were not kids who
were isolated," he said. "They had some amazing families, and have amazing families."
These factors make the shooting that much more difficult to deal with, "Maybe it would be easier if we knew the answer," Remle said. "But we may never know."

Victims' families seek to remake top Kansas court
ASSOCIATED PRESS
1OPEKA, Kan. — A small group of victims' family members is waging a campaign to remake the Kansas Supreme Court after it overturned the death sentences of two brothers convicted of notorious multiple murders.
the state Republican Party's chairman and GOP Gov. Sam Brownback last week endorsed efforts by the group, Kansans for Justice, to get voters to remove two of the court's seven justices in the Nov. 4 election.
The brothers were sentenced to die for shooting four people in a snow-covered Wichita field in December 2000 after breaking into a home, forcing their victims to have sex with each other and ordering them to withdraw money from ATMs. The two men had a single capital-sentencing

Amy James, the girlfriend of one of the murder victims, Brad Heyka, said the victims' families were "completely floored." They'd been frustrated with the Supreme Court since attending its arguments in the cases late last year but 10 of them formed their nonpartisan group just weeks ago. Justices Lee Johnson and Eric Rosen are on the ballot this year. Governors appoint the court's members, but every six years, voters determine whether they remain. It's a yes-or-no ballot issue: Shall
"If you don't like what the court's doing, you have a chance to vote no," said James, a 41-year-old marketing manager in Overland Park who'd been dating Heyka for three years when he was murdered. "What we really want Kansans to understand is that the retention part of the ballot is really important."

Koch brothers criticism is misguided and one-sided
In Kansas, we hear quite a bit about the Koch brothers' influence on politics and how they're "buying" this country. Criticism of big money in government is fair, but throwing all the blame at the Koch brothers is ignorant. Big money exists on both sides of the aisle, and if you only criticize the Kochs, you're missing an entire political demographic of wealth in politics.
We can start looking at big money belonging to politicians. According to Roll Call's "50 Richest Members of Congress for 2014," Americans hold the top two spots and the next eight are filled by Democrats. Even House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, a leader for the "Party of the People," ranks 14th, with a net worth
of $29.01 million. In Kansas, we see big money from Democrats coming to help candidate Greg Orman, who is worth between $21 million and $86 million, according to the Kansas City Star. Four billionaires Peter Ackerman, John Burbank, George Soros and Michael Bloomberg are all coming to Orman's aid.
+
In my home state of South Dakota, this big money hypocrisy has turned full swing as well. Democratic Senate candidate Rick Weiland has claimed to be on a grassroots campaign with the slogan to "Take It Back." The big question is: What is being taken back? The fact that the seat he's running for has been held by Democrat Tim Johnson since 1997 or that Weiland claims he's taking back the
By Adam Timmerman
@AdamTweets4You
Senate from big money, but even that is a false claim at this point. As reported by the Argus Leader, he recently collected $2 million in funds from outside sources, including the Mayday political action committee. The PAC said it's donating this amount because, "[t]he only way to take our democracy back is to elect reformers like Rick Weiland." If that's not irony, I don't know what is.
Big name Democrats are worth well into the millions. According to Forbes, Secretary of State John Kerry's net worth in
2012 was $198.8 million. Bloomberg News reported Al Gore's net worth over $200 million, which almost puts him at Mitt Romney's $250 million net worth figure. Even Bill Clinton has a net worth of $55 million, and he's supposed to be the "relatable" former president.
I could keep going on, but continuing would serve no more purpose. Yes, the Koch brothers' $100 billion net worth, reported by Bloomberg News, seems just unfathomably wealthy. But even their PACs don't fully garner all the criticism they receive for big money in politics. According to OpenSecrets.org, the super PAC with the most expenditures is the Liberal Senate Majority PAC. It also reported for
their "Heavy Hitters" list, the top all-time donors from 1989 to 2014. Koch Industries ranked at number 60.
If you're going to go after big money in politics, go after both sides. The Citizens United case opened the door for big money to pour into politics, but it's not just the Kochs who have taken advantage of it. Both sides in politics have used it to their advantage and also have incredibly wealthy leaders. Big money in politics is all over the board, and if you're going to just focus on the Kochs, then you're being hypocritical. We will never be able to rid the wealth influence out of Congress.

Senate candidate Greg Orman best represents student interests
This is the first time in Pat Roberts' 17-year tenure in the United States Senate that he has been forced to work to win an election. Greg Orman, an independent from Olathe, is performing better than any other candidate Roberts has faced, with the two campaigns' poll numbers nearly equal. This race, which will be on the Nov. 4 ballot, is one students should pay attention to. While Roberts is known as one of the most conservative members of the Senate, Orman wants to work across party lines upon being elected, focus on issues important to the millennial generation, such as health care and tuition rates.
By Ike Uri
@IkeUri
Roberts began serving in the Senate in 1997. He has one of the most conservative voting records of any Senate member and has tended to eschew bipartisanship in favor of contributing to the political gridlock.
Over the past few years, Congress has become inefficient, passing almost half of the number of bills per year compared to a decade ago, according to Pew Research. Roberts, and the others who adhere to this brand of politicking, are the major contributors to this trend. Moreover, since 2000, Roberts has missed two thirds of the Senate Agricultural Committee meetings,
I recently had a chance to speak to Orman, and it is clear that if elected, he would be a drastically different senator. He cited congressional dysfunction and partisanship as the primary problems in Washington.
according to the Topeka-Capital Journal. Roberts claims to be an advocate for the farming population, yet his attendance record and past votes against bills benefiting the farming community indicate otherwise.
"[I am] not going to be a silent soldier for either party." Orman staid. "This race isn't about partisanship; it's about the voters of Kansas standing up and saying 'no more.'" This apparent willingness to embrace bipartisanship and forgo party ideologies makes Orman an attractive candidate. Though other politicians have claimed the country's political system is broken, Orman seems genuinely concerned about fixing it. Orman has said he will caucus with whichever party is in the Senate majority to most effectively address legislative problems.
Issues Orman is
particularly concerned about include higher education affordability, healthcare, campaign finance reform and small business growth. Orman's proposed reforms would positively affect students. He believes student loan interest rates should be lowered, and universities receiving federal funding should be held more accountable in their spending to help lower costs for students.
Concerning healthcare, Orman believes incentives within the industry need to be changed so doctors will focus on favorable patient outcomes instead of making money off tests and procedures. Additionally, Orman is pro-choice and supports marriage equality.
Orman cares about Kansas and national progress in a way Roberts does not. The race is close, with the latest poll numbers indicating Roberts is catching up to Orman's earlier lead. A large number of votes from the KU student body could be enough to tilt the election. Unfortunately, students tend to have low voting rates, meaning this demographic isn't fully utilizing its voice. It is imperative for students to vote this November. Students should contribute to the political process and help bring about change.

Breaks are meant for relaxing, not studying
Fall Break was the perfect opportunity for students to relax, unwind and regroup from the pressure college brings. It offered students a few short days to catch up on sleep and do things that did not require much effort. However, it is nearly impossible to have a stress-free break when professors schedule midterm exams on dates following break.
How is one supposed to enjoy their time off when they know in the back of their minds they should be studying for a test instead? Giving a midterm exam after Fall Break is like giving a test on a Monday. Maybe professors think giving us a few extra days to study will give us better grades, but that is not necessarily true.
Personally, I feel giving students more time to study over break does the exact opposite of what a break is meant for. The likelihood of procrastination, or not studying at all, increases, while lowering students' chances of a good grade.
My roommate currently has a midterm exam scheduled Halloween night, which seems way beyond the "midpoint" of the semester. Midterms on dates after Fall Break are counterproductive.
How are college students supposed to perform their best on exams when given so much time off?
By Anissa Fritz
@Anissa_Fritz
While I would like to think I would study for a midterm over break, the odds of actually doing it are rather slim. However, turning my brain off for three and a half days. then cramming before school starts back up are at greater odds. Professors scheduling midterms right after a break defeats the purpose of having a "break" at all and does not allow students to perform as well as they may have if the midterm had been scheduled before the break.
Professors should instead schedule midterms before breaks to make life a little easier on students. Students would be more likely to study for their midterms while they are taking classes and not on a break. Knowing all your midterms are over and having no big tests to return to can make relaxing over a break that much sweeter.

LFK Poetry Slam debuts at the Granada
MARISSA KAUFMANN
@Mariss193
The third LFK Poetry Slam will occur tonight at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St. This is the event's first time with a new organizer.
Siam poetry is so fun or possibilities that it would be detrimental to the art form for there to be a core concept for people to follow," said Cody Keener, the "slammaster," or organizer of the event, from Baldwin City. "It is a genre or an art form that is designed to be as limitless as possible."
Keener said the structure of the event differs from slam to slam.
Keener said poets need to come prepared with three original pieces; the pieces don't have to be memorized. The stage will have a stand for paper or an iPad. Poets have the option to give an intro, but as soon as they start speaking, their
Generally, there are three rounds; each poet will perform one piece per round. Elimination rounds structure the event, so there are 15 poets in the first round, 10 in the second and five in the third round. Each performance is scored by judges on a one-to-10 scale, with decimal points. The highest and the lowest judgers' scores are dropped, so the middle three count toward the cumulative score of each poet, Keener said.
"What is unique about LFK slam is that we have a diverse group of poets who are performing." Keener said. "The subject matter will be all over the place and [there will be] a wide variation of styles as well."
3 minutes with a 10-second grace period begins.
At the first poetry slam at the Green Mill Lounge in Chicago, the winner was awarded a Twinkie, Keener said. For the LFK slam, the winner will get a certain amount of money depending on how much revenue is earned from the $5 cover charge.
Keener said this poetry slam is different than most other poetry readings because the audience is encouraged to clap and stomp its feet and boo and hiss when it finds something unsavory or when they do not agree with a judge.
"It is a very democratic experience and designed to include as many people as possible," he said.
For the LFK Poetry Slam, the participants are preregistered. Keener said pre-registration allows for anyone to perform who wants to; there is no particular selection process Competitive and noncompetitive poets will perform at the slam. Keener said a noncompetitive poet is a "sacrifice poet," who usually performs at the beginning to get the crowd warmed up.
"My personal taste leans toward political or socially conscious messages," Keener said. "I have heard beautiful poems about children, childhood, their life or society in general."
The judges are chosen at the event. The slammaster will search through the crowd and ask people if they would like to be a judge.
Doors open at 7:30 p.m.,
and the slamming starts at
8 p.m. All poets must check
in at 7:45 p.m.; all ages are
welcome with a $5 cover
charge at the door.
Q&A WITH POETS
Sara "MissConception" Glass is a competitor in the LFK Poetry Slam. She is a KU alumna from Overland Park and recent recipient of the 2014 Kansas City Best Poet recognition for Pitch Magazine.
Annette Billings is a sacrifice poet from Topeka who is involved in the LFK Poetry Slam.
KANSAN How did you get started in poetry?
AB I have written since early childhood, whether diary or journaling.
SMG: I have been writing since I was a little girl, singing songs and writing poems.
KANSAN: What drives you to do poetry?
AB. For me it is as natural and necessary as breathing, — not the drive — [but] the inclination, the tendency, the need to be poetic. To transform life into a poetic form.
SMG: I discovered slam poetry and started listening to more hip-hop. This was a good avenue to get my message out and to be able to perform and have creative expression. Some poetry can be really dry. Poetry is the art of paying attention, which is quite difficult in today's world. I do conscious hip-hop. I have music that I rap to with a DJ. Music is a great way to bring people together. I love the exchange of information.
KANSAN: Why are you participating in this particular slam?
AB: I love all forms of poetry, and the poetry slams are an exciting and dynamic way to poetry. I love poetry in any form.
SMG: Art should be about raising your vibration and making the world a better place. Everything I do is with intention — being happy as people and taking care of each other, not worrying about color and class. All people should be created equally. I am a white Jewish girl from JC, and I tried to be a rapper. I do not think we
should limit ourselves if we put our heart into something.
KANSAN: What is your game plan?
AB: I never make a final decision until I am in the venue. I depend on the energy of the audience to make my decision. My final decision I make when I hear or feel the audience. I am moved about writing about the process of writing and how it comes about. Writing about writing and writing about poetry and how it comes forth. All things of humor interest me. Michael Brownback, my grandchildren, sensuality. There is nothing that I am confined to.
SMG: I usually do not decide that until I get there, until I feel out the room and the competition. I decided to stop focusing on slam poetry and start focusing on my music. It's hard to stay relevant in this scene. The material I will use is older. I do not have the time or brainpower to always create new stuff. I pick my three strongest pieces. The strategy could change at anytime. I do not do the poem that will get me to win. It's about the message. Anything to get a reaction and to get people asking questions and having conversations, that's real poetry.

Thriller 'Ouija' haunted by lifeless spirit
The Ouija board, which allows the living to make contact with nearby spirits, has been used many a time in ghost and haunting movies, often to an entertaining effect. Despite being a well-worn trope that usually only leads to either actually communicating with the intended spirit or unleashing something worse (or both), it remains effective when done well and kept to a focused point.
By Alex Lamb
@Lambcannon
"Ouija" tries to make an entire film from this single element, summoning a deathly routine spirit and essentially copy-pasting the story and characters from other horror films. It sands off any edges of personality or originality from its better inspirations, like a student rewriting a source for a paper so it doesn't show up as plagiarized.
There's nothing that really stands out about the narrative or the filmmaking style, so it's difficult to get interested in a story we've seen a thousand times before. Debbie (Shelley Hennig) has been playing
This is about as cookie cutter and basic as it gets for a ghost story. It's based off a board game, lacks identifying unique characteristics, is PG13 sanitized, has low budget production values and features no-name actors. "Ouija" seems to exist solely to make money, with its target audience indifferent about quality as long as the movie produces a handful of slight scares.

with a Ouija board by herself and an evil spirit possesses and kills her. Her best friend Laine (Olivia Cooke) finds the board and convinces their friend group to try and contact Debbie's spirit for their own closure. Instead, the same spirit that took Debbie's life latches onto them, and they must find a way to stop it before they're all dead too.
Even at only 89 minutes, "Ouija" slogs along at the pace of an excruciating Scrabble game, like a listless player putting down only the simplest words for the lowest amount of points. The opening fails at creating tension while taking its time building up to Debbie's death. However, the way she dies is the only particularly memorable moment of the movie. It's shocking enough to briefly give hope that the rest of the film will be watchable and

even be mildly enjoyable. Unfortunately, the occasional pop-out scares of creepy yet uninspired grotesque figures later on have little effect beyond an immediate startle, and the banal worrying of the characters between those bits will have you screaming for
them to get on with it already. Translating a board game to the screen isn't a good idea in the first place, but doing so without giving it any personality just results in a boring time at the theater.

QUICK QUESTION
Sam Strunk and Carson Nguyen are roommates and have been best friends since the second grade. Both juniors from Wichita, the two friends made a pact while in the fifth grade to attend Kansas together. The idea sprouted after Nguyen's father showed them a house he was renting out to college students. After attending different schools for their first two years of college, the two friends followed through on their childhood plan of going to school together in Lawrence.
"I'd say the people here. Everyone here is very open and everyone has something special about them. Everyone is from different places, and compared to other places I've been, people are more open to ideas."
SAM STRUNK JUNIOR FROM WICHITA

Cream vocalist and bassist Jack Bruce, 71, passes away
(1)
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — Jack Bruce was part Mississippi Delta and part Carnaby Street. In his glorious heyday as bassist and lead vocalist of 1960s power trio Cream he helped create a sound that combined American blues and psychedelia to thrill audiences throughout the world.
Bruce, who died Saturday of liver disease at age 71, enjoyed a long, respected solo career after the band's acrimonious breakup, but will be best remembered for his stint with Cream and for classics like "Sunshine of Your Love" and "I Feel Free."
Bruce was an important member of the British blues movement, which saw bands like the Animals and Rolling Stones first imitate and then expand on the American blues tradition as exemplified by Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker and other stalwarts.
Much of the attention was focused on guitar wizard Eric Clapton, but Bruce wrote many of the band's signature tunes and served as lead vocalist. He also provided the intense bass guitar that, with Ginger Baker's explosive drums, underpinned Cream's rhythmic, driving sound.
British musician Jack Bruce performs at the "Zildjian Drummers Achievement Awards" at the Shepherd's Bush Empire in London in
they had it all — commercial and critical success — until individual egos intervened and they disbanded, entering rock and roll mythology as the original supergroup: super-talented, and super-troubled.
Cream, inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993, played a mix of traditional blues songs, with
long, often improvised instrumental breaks, and their own tunes. They enchanted critics and fans alike at first, but after two years some found their extended jams to be self-indulgent, with band members seeming to show off their musical virtuosity rather than trying to complement each other.
Bruce enjoyed a long career after Cream's acrimonious breakup, and in 2005 he reunited with former Cream bandmates for critically acclaimed concerts in London and New York City.
Five years later, however, Bruce said Cream was "over" — an indication of ongoing tensions between the band members. Clapton had said the familiar problems were just beneath the surface during the band's reunion performances.
"He was a hero to so many."
TONY IOMMI
Black Sabbath guitarist
Publicists LD Communications said Saturday that Bruce died of liver disease at his home in Suffolk, England. He had received a liver transplant some years ago and continued to suffer a variety of health problems.
A statement released by his family said "the world of music will be a poorer place without him but he lives on in his music and forever in our hearts."
Black Sabbath guitarist Tonv
Iommi said on Twitter that Bruce had been his favorite bass player and greatest influence.
"He was a hero to so many," Iommi said.
In its heyday, Cream sold 35 million albums in just over two years and the band was awarded the world's first ever platinum disc for their double album "Wheels of Fire."
The band started out playing traditional blues tunes, but quickly added a psychedelic flavor that brought still more popularity at the height of the flower power era.
But they broke up with little warning, in the midst of their commercial success. Clapton wrote in his 2007 autobiography that the band lost its direction musically and that "any sense of unity" had disappeared.
appeared.
"We were also suffering from an inability to get along," he said. "We would just run away from one another. We never socialized together and never really shared ideas anymore."
He also felt they were eclipsed by the arrival on the
scene of guitarist Jimi Hendrix, whose trio seemed to break new ground with each album.
bruce went on to record the first of his solo albums, "Songs For a Tailor." He also fronted many of his own bands.
He was known for mixing rock, jazz and classical sounds, and his songs were covered by many artists including Hendrix, David Bowie and Ella Fitzgerald.
Bruce returned to the studio around 2000 to record his solo album "Shadows in the Air," which hit number five on the British jazz and blues chart.
Bruce was playing and touring with his Big Blues Band until recently. In 2012 he played in Cuba, and performed in London at the famed bar Ronnie Scott's. His 14th solo album, "Silver Rails," was released earlier this year.
He is survived by his wife, Margrit, four children and a granddaughter. Funeral arrangements were not immediately announced.

NBCUniversal settles with unpaid interns for $6.4M
NEW YORK — Nearly 9,000 unpaid interns stand to benefit from a $6.4 million settlement with NBCUniversal over back wages. Unpaid interns who worked on "Saturday Night Live" and other shows brought a class action suit last July in Manhattan federal court claiming the NBCUniversal violated the law by classifying them as non-employee interns and paid them nothing or less than minimum wage, when they were actually doing employee work. NBCUniversal said in court documents that even though it's settling the suit, it denies the allegations and doesn't admit any wrongdoing.
The average amount class-action members of the suit will receive is $505 before taxes, although the main plaintiffs will receive more. The number of class members is capped at 8,975. The interns had been seeking recovery of unpaid wages, attorneys' fees, interest and liquidated damages.
The settlement still has to be approved by a judge.
Unpaid internships have long been a way that students and young graduates got a foot in the door in many industries. Companies get some help, interns potentially get experience and contacts — if they can afford to work for free. But in the last few years, unpaid internships have come under legal fire. Last June, a federal judge in New York ruled that Fox Searchlight Pictures violated
minimum wage and overtime laws by not paying interns who worked on production of the 2010 movie "Black Swan." Other lawsuits were filed against record companies, magazine publishers, modeling agencies and TV talk show hosts. Some companies, including Conde Nast, subsequently did away with their intern programs.
In addition to back wages, lead plaintiff Monet Eliastern will receive up to $10,000 and other named plaintiffs will receive between $2,000 and $5,000, for their efforts in bringing the class-action, according to court documents. Eliastern agreed not to apply for jobs at NBCUniversal for five years, as a stipulation of the deal.

Kansas City Chiefs shred St. Louis Rams 34-7
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY Jamaal Charles shredded the Rams on a pair of touchdown runs. Knile Davis returned a kickoff 99 yards for another score. The Chiefs sacked St. Louis quarterback Austin Davis seven times.
If there was a fourth phase to football, Kansas City probably would have dominated that too.
After spotting their crossstate rivals the first touchdown, the Chiefs turned up the pressure in every way Sunday. The result was a 34-7 victory, their sixth straight in the series dating to Sept. 24, 1994, when the Rams were still based in Los Angeles.
"Any time you play good in all three facets, you're going to win a lot of games," said Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith, "and it felt like we did that."
Charles, who last week became the Chiefs' career rushing leader, powered over the left side of the line for a touchdown in the first quarter. He added a 36-yard score early in the fourth, dodging a defender at the line of scrimmage and then accelerating past the Rams' defense.
Cairo Santos added a pair of field goals for Kansas City (4-3), including a careerbest 53-yarder right before halftime. Smith was 24 of 28 for 226 yards, and Davis capped the string of 34 unanswered points with a short touchdown run in the fourth quarter.
By that point, the banged-up Rams (2-5) were just trying to
survive.
“It's disappointing,” said coach Jeff Fisher, whose team was coming off a victory against Seattle. "We had a great week, a short-lived bit of momentum, and we weren't able to put it all together."
ALEX SMITH
Chiefs quarterback
Austin Davis finished 15-of-25 for 160 yards with a touchdown and an interception, three of his sacks coming at the hands of Justin Houston. It didn't help that left tackle Jake Long, right guard Rodger Saffold and center Scott Wells sustained injuries during the game.
"Any time you play good in all three facets, you're going to win a lot of games."
The Rams were also playing with an injury-depleted defensive backfield.
"You looked at the injuries they had today, they had three or four rookies starting for them on the defensive side," Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. "That's tough."
The Rams' running back by committee proved to be a bust, too. Benny Cunningham, Zac Stacy and Tre Mason were bottled up all game, and St. Louis managed just 84 yards on 19 carries.
The Rams jumped to a 7-0 lead on a pass from Davis to tight end Lance Kendricks on the opening series, but everything went the Chiefs' way the rest of the game.

"They took some things away and when that happens you've got to find a way to get some
Special teams had a lot to do with it.
One week after the Rams used two long returns and an audacious punt fake to beat Seattle, they watched as Greg Zuerlein missed a 38-yard field goal in the second quarter to keep the game 7-7.
The Chiefs got the ball back to start the third quarter. Knile Davis fielded the kickoff on a bounce, veered his right and picked up a key block from James-Michael Johnson before going the rest of the way for his second career TD return.
keep the ball in your face
Santos hit his 53-yarder for a
10-7 lead right before halftime.
Santos added his second field-goal and Charles punctuated a big day for the offense when he took a carry up the middle, left a defender grasping for air and outran the entire secondary for his second score of the game.
Davis added a 3-yard touchdown plunge in the final minutes as chants of "Let's Go Royals" filled Arrowhead Stadium.
"We clearly got outplayed in the second half of this game in all three phases," Fisher said. "It wasn't a good effort and we've got our work cut out for us."

Is It Time to Recognize Cuba? scheduled for Wed., Oct. 29 at 7:30 p.m.
The Dole Institute of Politics at the University of Kansas regrets that due to the potential conflict with Game 7 of the 2014 World Series, the Institute will postpone the Cuba recognition program.
Institute leadership, in consultation with co-sponsor, Pan American Association of Kansas City (PANAM-KC), concluded that the potential conflict would make it difficult for interested community members to attend and therefore severely affect the program, depriving the topic, the speakers, and the public who would attend, a full opportunity.
The Dole Institute plans to reschedule the program.

KU basketball celebrates 60 years in fieldhouse
KYLE PAPPAS
@KylePap
Kansas Athletics is holding an anniversary event tonight commemorating 60 years of Kansas basketball in Allen Fieldhouse. All four of Kansas' living coaches — Ted Owens, Larry Brown, Roy Williams and Bill Self — will gather at
the center of Naismith Court to celebrate college basketball's most historic venue. ESPN analyst Jay Bilas will serve as Master of Ceremonies.
According to kuathletics.com, there will also be a dinner prior to the event for "patrons wanting an intimate experience." Ticket packages for the dinner event are now
sold out.

Owens coached the Jayhawks from 1964-1983, compiling a .657 winning percentage and making two Final Four appearances. His 348 wins are third among all Kansas coaches. Brown succeeded Owens in 1983, leading the Jayhawks to two Final Fours and one national
Williams took over in 1988, guiding Kansas to four Final Fours while recording a .805 winning percentage. He was named the 1997 Naismith College Coach of the Year and is considered one of the most successful coaches in Jayhawk history. In 2003, he accepted the head coaching position
at North Carolina, where he's still at today. Current coach Bill Self has led the Kansas team to 10-straight conference championships and maintains a record of 168-9 at Allen Fieldhouse.
The four will reunite for the first time and will relive some of their favorite moments inside the Phog from the last
60 years.
Doors for non-dining guests are set to open at 7 p.m., with the actual event beginning at 7:30 p.m. Single ticket pricing ranges from $25-$60. Proceeds of the event will be donated to various charities selected by the four coaches.

Ted Owens
KANSAS CAREER:
The third most wins in Kansas head-coaching history belongs to Ted Owens. Owens coached Kansas from 1964-1983, amassing 348 victories in his 19-year tenure. He led Kansas to seven national tournament appearances and two final fours.
In his first three seasons, Owens won the Big 8 Holiday Tournament and defeated Kansas State seven out of his first eight chances. Owens was part of a major transition for college basketball. In the beginning of his KU tenure, the Final Four was held in small gyms; when he left, the games were being played in large arenas.
JoJo White and Darnell Valentine are two of the five All-Americans Owens coached in his career at Kansas. In 1978, Basketball Weekly named Owens the National Coach of the Year, and he was named Big 8 Conference Coach of the Year five times.
Owens had an impressive .639 winning percentage in Big 8 play, recording 170 wins and only 96 losses, resulting in six regular season Big 8 titles. Owens was fired after the 1982-83 season, due to Kansas' first consecutive losing seasons in over a decade.
Owens' time at Kansas was during a relatively forgotten era of Kansas basketball, as it was in the middle of a 30-year championship drought. In 1968, Owens and the Jayhawks lost in the finals of the NIT to Dayton.
NON-KANSAS CAREER:
Owens attended the University of Oklahoma and was on four teams that never won less than 20 games. His first coaching job was at Cameron State, where he recorded a 93-24 record. In 1960, Owens became Dick Harp's assistant coach. The senior class for Owens' first season had petitioned for him to become Kansas' next head coach.
"To find myself as head basketball coach at the finest basketball school in the country gives you a feeling that is hard to describe." Owens told the Topeka Capital-Journal. "Elation is hardly a word to describe my feeling."
Ben Felderstein
MICHAEL H. MAYER
Larry Brown
KANSAS CAREER:
Larry Brown coached at the University from 1983-1988. While at Kansas, Brown won 134 games for a winning percentage of .754 and ranked fifth all-time among Kansas coaches. Brown appeared in the NCAA tournament every season and finished either first or second in the Big 8 Conference during his five-year Kansas career.
In 1986, Brown had his winningest season as Kansas' coach, winning 34 games and was named Big 8 Coach of the Year. He won the Big 8 Conference title outright, won the Big 8 Tournament and advanced to the Final Four, where Kansas lost to Duke, which went on to win the NCAA Tournament. During the 1988 season, Brown added current coach Bill Self to his team of assistants.
In 1988, Kansas won the Big 8 Tournament and the NCAA Tournament with 1988 consensus All-American Danny Manning. Manning was the only All-American Brown coached while at Kansas.
After winning the Naismith Coach of the Year Award, Brown left Kansas in 1988 to coach the San Antonio Spurs.
NON-KANSAS CAREER:
Brown started his coaching career in the American Basketball Association as the coach of the Carolina Cougars in 1972. Brown coached the Cougars and the Denver Nuggets until 1979 when he accepted the UCLA coaching position.
Brown coached UCLA to a 42-17 record and a national championsjip during his two seasons. In 1981, Brown left UCLA to coach the New Jersey Nets.
After four seasons with the Nets, Brown went back to the college level to coach at Kansas. After 134 wins and one national championship, Brown left Kansas to coach the Spurs. He stayed in the NBA coaching carousel from 1988 to 2010, coaching seven different teams and becoming the fourth-winningest coach in NBA history with 987 wins.
Currently, Brown is the coach at Southern Methodist University. Brown is the oldest active college coach at the age of 72.

JACKSONVILLE -- The Jacksonville Sharks beat the North Carolina Tar Heels 74-68 in an NCAA college basketball game Saturday at Charlotte, N.C.
Roy Williams
KANSAS CAREER:
Out of the eight coaches in Kansas basketball history, Roy Williams has the second-highest winning percentage, leaving Kansas with an .805 winning percentage in 15 seasons from 1988-2003. His most successful stretch came in 2002 and 2003, where Williams led Kansas to back-to-back Final Fours. Though he didn't win any national championships at Kansas, he did lead the team to four Final Fours and two runner-up finishes.
Williams led a high-powered offense during his tenure, leading the Jayhawks to a field-goal percentage of 50 percent or higher seven times. In 2002, Kansas had the highest field-goal percentage in the country. He led the Jayhawks to nine conference championships.
Williams facilitated the development of one of the most successful Jayhawks in the school's history. After departing for the NBA in 1998, Paul Pierce went on to average 21 points and six rebounds for his career. Pierce averaged 16 points and six rebounds in his six seasons at Kansas. Other successful players under Williams' guidance include Kirk Hinrich, Nick Colliison and Drew Gooden, who all went on to the NBA.
NON-KANSAS CAREER:
before coaching at Kansas, Williams spent a decade as an assistant coach for the University of North Carolina. He helped lead the Tar Heels to a national championship in 1982 and was also involved in the recruiting of Michael Jordan.
With Williams as coach, North Carolina has made the NCAA Tournament every season except 2010, the year after winning the championship. He was named the Atlantic Coast Conference Men's Basketball Coach of the Year in 2006 and 2011. He has mentored many successful Tar Heels in the NBA including Ty Lawson, Tyler Hansbrough and Danny Green.
A North Carolina native, Williams returned home to become the head coach of the Tar Heels in 2003. A national championship escaped Williams at Kansas, but he was able to find success in Chapel Hill, where he won the national title in 2005 and 2009 and led them to six conference championships.
Brian Hillix
Bill Self
KANSAS CAREER:
Bill Self is the current head coach of Kansas basketball, a title he's held since leaving the same position at the University of Illinois in 2003.
Following Self's arrival, Kansas' reputation as owning one of the nation's best home court advantages has only strengthened. He's compiled a 168-9 record within the confines of Allen Fieldhouse and his .827 overall winning percentage is first all-time among KU coaches.
His finest year as coach of the Jayhawks came in 2007-08, when he led his squad to a 37-3 record and an NCAA National Championship. That team won both the Big 12 regular season title and the conference tournament along the way. Kansas has won 10 conference titles under Self.
Additionally, 23 players who Self has coached at Kansas have played in the NBA - 13 of whom are still currently in the league.
Self stayed at OSU until 1993, when his first shot at a head coaching gig came via a struggling Oral Roberts program. Though the Golden Eagles turned in a 5-22 record the year before his arrival, after only four years, Self led the school to a 21-7 record and its first postseason appearance in 13 years.
NON-KANSAS CAREER:
He left ORU for rival Tulsa in 1998, where he stayed for three seasons and compiled a 74-27 record and a winning percentage of .733, which is still the best all-time winning percentage among Tulsa coaches. In 2000, Self left Tulsa for the University of Illinois.
Self began his coaching career at Kansas, though not as its head coach — he replaced current Kentucky coach John Calipari as assistant coach under Larry Brown. He left Kansas for an assistant coaching vacancy at Oklahoma State, Self's alma mater.
In just three seasons, he led the Fighting Illini to two Big 10 championships and reached the Elite Eight for the second time in his career. After the 2002-03 season, Self took over at Kansas when Roy Williams departed for North Carolina.

Kansas swimming and diving splits weekend double dual
KENNEDY BURGESS/KANSAN
A Kansas swimmer adjusts her cap before a relay in Robinson Natatorium on Oct. 25. Kansas split the dual.
THE BEST SWIMMER IN THE WORLD
AMIE JUST
@Amie_just
No pool records were safe at the Kansas swimming and diving double dual this weekend. Over the two-day event, eight records came down, most at the hand of Missouri State.
Many of the men's records date back to the 1980s and 90s and have been preserved because it's not often that men swim in Robinson Natatorium these days.
"For October, this is a really high level," coach Clark Campbell said of the quality of the swims. "It's really nice to see some of our pool records that were set in the 90s to get taken down."
To get things started Friday, Missouri State broke a 16-year-old record in the 200-yard medley relay swimming a 1:32.30. The team comprised of Isaac Springer, Will Brand, Uvis Kalnins and Paul Le. The Missouri State men's 200-yard freestyle relay squad of Le, Kalnins, Caleb Schuermann and Isaac McKnight broke the old Texas A&M record that dated back to 2003 by .26 of a second.
Two relay records weren't enough for Kalnins as he went for the full sweep. He broke records in all four events he swam. He broke the 200-individual medley pool record, swimming a time of 1:49.81. In the 400-yard individual medley, he broke a record dating back to 1984 by swimming a time of 3:57.16.
"I was really happy for the team, even though the results didn't go in our favor, teamwise."
CLARK CAMPBELL Swimming and diving coach
Those two relay records weren't enough for Le either. He hammered out a 48.29 in the 100-yard backstroke, beating the previous record by more than two seconds. That time currently ties him for sixth best in the country. He also broke the record in the longer 200-yard backstroke with a time of 1:45.11. That time puts him at second overall in the country and beat the former record by
more than four seconds.
It wasn't only men's records that came tumbling down. Like Le, University of Denver's Sam Corea also broke records in both lengths of the backstroke race. Corea broke the 100-yard backstroke record swimming a 54.13 in the event. That swim put her in the top 10 nationally. In the 200-yard backstroke, her time of 1:58.31 narrowly beat the former record by just .13 of a second.
Kansas may have not topped any pool records, but the team performed to the standards Campbell wanted.
"We had a really good second day," Campbell said. "I was really happy for the team, even though the results didn't go in our favor, teamwise. Swimmingwise, we're really happy with how we competed and how the divers dove. It was a really good day. We're much farther along in October now than we were last year, so that's pretty exciting."
Kansas split the dual winning 277-75 against Missouri State, but fell to Denver, 204-148.

THE MORNING BREW
Garber-Klinsmann dispute misses the point of US Soccer's initiative
Donovan was infamously left off the U.S. national team roster for this summer's World Cup by coach Jurgen Klinsmann. The issue was brought up again by MLS Commissioner Don Garber, who scheduled a teleconference in which he blasted Klinsmann over comments about key national team players suffering career declines after moving to MLS teams. He further scrutinized the decision to leave Donovan off the World Cup roster.
Midfielder Landon Donovan played his last match in a United States national team uniform Oct. 10. He will retire at the end of this Major League Soccer season as the all-time leading scorer on the U.S. national team. He also holds the all-time scoring and assist records in MLS.
By Skylar Rolstad
laksdjfk@kansan.com
Klinsmann called former AS Roma midfielder Michael Bradley's move to Toronto FC last summer a "huge disappointment" because the level at which Bradley is expected to perform has drastically lowered. Roma
is a team that placed near the top of the Italian league last year and is competing for the title this season.
U. S. midfielder Clint Dempsey spent five years starting for Fulham FC in the English Premier League before transferring to another English club, Tottenham Hotspur, in August 2012. Dempsey then signed a multi-million dollar contract with MLS' Seattle Sounders in August 2013. Klinsmann was extremely critical of the move at the time and repeated the criticism a few weeks ago in press conferences ahead of national team friendlies, which prompted Garber to call Klinsmann's comments "detrimental" to MLS and
"personally infuriating" in the teleconference.
There has been a lot of talk about MLS becoming a much better league compared with the rest of the leagues in recent years, but it is an objective fact that MLS is not comparable to any top European leagues that Bradley or Dempsey came from at this point in time
THE BREW
First of all, the financial resources that European teams have are mammoth compared to MLS' salary cap. European clubs have the best coaching and the best players in the world as a result, and it will take time for MLS to catch up. The current salary cap in MLS is reportedly $3.1 million and the maximum salary for one player is $387,500, but MLS teams can sign three Designated Players who do not count against the cap. The highest-paid player in MLS currently is Clint Dempsey at $6.6 million per year. These numbers
are pocket change for a club like AS Roma, which currently pays only four players less than $387,000.
Most importantly, Garber's vilification of Klinsmann ignores the purpose of the U.S. national team altogether. Klinsmann wants his
players playing at the highest levels. The national team competed against the best players in the world in the World Cup, and it would help to have players that consistently performed at that level on their club teams.
Garber was out of line with these comments. Klinsmann had not criticized the league itself or Garber on a personal level; he had simply identified the difficulties of his best players moving to clubs that would not continue their growth.

Royals fall to Giants, return to Kansas City for Game 6

The San Francisco Giants defeated the Kansas City Royals 5-0 in Game 5 of the 2014 World Series and take a 3-2 series lead heading into Game 6 in Kansas City, Mo., on Tuesday.
The night began with the teams exchanging hits in the first inning, before the Giants opened the scoring in the second inning.
Rightfielder Hunter Pence singled, then first baseman Brandon Belt reached on a bunt. Both runners advanced on a flyout, and shortstop Brandon Crawford's RBI groundout scored Pence from third base.
San Francisco added to its lead in the fourth inning, again
off the bat of Crawford. This time it was a single to center, driving in third baseman Pablo Sandoval from second.
Royals' starter James Shields allowed two runners to get on base in the bottom of the fifth inning, but was bailed out by an impressive catch by right fielder Lorenzo Cain.
Shields pitched six innings, allowing two runs on eight hits with four strikeouts.
In the eighth inning, Sandoval and Pence were able to reach on Royals' reliever Kelvin Herrera. Herrera was then replaced by reliever Wade Davis.
Giants' right fielder Juan Perez hit a deep triple to center, emptying the bases off of Davis. Perez was then driven in by Crawford, his third RBI
of the game, making it 5-0 San Francisco.
Bumgarner improved to a 4-0 career record in the World Series, with a 0.29 career ERA. That is the lowest for a pitcher ever, minimum 25 innings pitched.
Giants' starter Madison Bumgarner pitched a complete game shutout, recording eight strikeouts and giving up only four hits.
Game 6 will start at 7:07 p.m. central time Tuesday night.
If the Giants win Tuesday, they will clinch their third World Series in five years. The Royals will try to force a Game 7 that would be played on Wednesday night at Kauffman Stadium.

COMMENTARY
Hosmer should be World Series MVP
By Matt Corte
sports@kansan.com
With all due respect to ALCS MVP Lorenzo Cain, postseason home run leader Mike Moustakas, and save leader Greg Holland, there's only one Royal worthy enough to be named World Series MVP.
Before I mention who know this: He actively leads the postseason in batting average, RBI's, on-base percentage, slugging percentage and OPS.
Sounds like Babe Ruth, but that man is actually Eric Hosmer.
The 2008 first-round draft pick hasn't been a bust since he began starting at first base in 2011, but considering former batting champion and World Series MVP Buster Posey was selected two picks after him at No.5, you could say more was expected of Hosmer.
Now in his first career postseason and two games away from a World Series title, Hosmer is finally getting a chance to prove he was worth the pick.
As I previously mentioned, Hosmer's .375 batting average. 10 RBI's. .474 on base percentage. .583 slugging percentage and 1.057 OPS are the best among Royals and Giants players.
This comes after a season in which Hosmer provided a stat line of .270/.318/.398. Not only are his postseason totals much more significant, he accomplished it against every team's best pitchers.
The question now is, what spurred this postseason hitting frenzy?
All indications point to the first baseman's strong performance at the end of the regular season.
In the final two weeks of September, Hosmer hit .327 while producing a 490 on base percentage and .571 slugging percentage, numbers much more indicative of his postseason play.
but in order to gain a World Series and MVP title, he'll have to continue swinging a hot bat.
Unlike the NHL postseason where MVP is selected for someone's play from every series, Major League Baseball chooses its MVP from the best World Series performance.
So if Kansas City does go on to win the World Series and there's still no Royal who outshines the rest, I beg the MLB to give the World Series MVP to Eric Hosner.
Not only because of his cool mohawk, but for his overall outstanding postseason performance.

Freshman middle blocker Kelsie Payne and junior outside hitter Tiana Dockery go up to block an attempted kill from a Texas Tech player.

@KvlePap
Heading into Saturday afternoon's matchup with Texas Tech, Kansas volleyball (16- 6,4-4) hadn't lost a match to the Red Raiders since 2010. That remained unchanged afterward, as the Jayhawks downed a struggling Texas Tech squad in straight sets, 25-14, 25-19, 25-20.
"We beat a quality team today. To do it 3-0, I think maybe Texas is the only other team to do that to Texas Tech, maybe K-State," coach Ray Bechard said. "But it was just good from start to finish, I thought we felt like we were in control pretty much the whole time."
Texas Tech (15-5, 3-5)
jumped out to a 3-0 lead early in the first set before the Jayhawks finally got on the board with a kill from freshman middle blocker Kelsie Payne. Kansas continued to battle back as Payne contributed several timely blocks and key kills. Red Raiders coach Don Flora called a timeout down 5-8, but his team wasn't ever quite able to get back on track as the Jayhawks took the set comfortably, 25-14.
Though set two was more competitive, the end result was the same, as Kansas used a late run to take a two-set lead. Tied 14-14, the Jayhawks took eight of the next 11 points to take a 22-17 advantage. Junior outside hitter Tiana Dockery notched a set-high four kills
before senior outside hitter Chelsea Albers sealed the set with a hard swing that was too much for the Red Raiders' middles to handle.
"We had a lot more high energy than we did the other night [against Iowa State] and we went on strings of making plays rather than making errors," Albers said. "I think that we focused on not playing tentative and that's how we really exceeded the level tonight."
In the third set, Kansas shot out to a 4-0 advantage as it continued to get all of its players involved - its first four kills came via four different players. But Texas Tech showed its resilience, fighting its way back to a 13-13 tie behind a series of its
own kills from its front line That was as close to the lead as itd get though; several attack and service errors eventually doomed the Red Raiders, as the Jayhawks went on to take the match and the set, 25-20.
Albers and Payne were a nuisance at the net for Texas Tech all afternoon, as the Red Raiders' front simply couldn't seem to overcome the duo's clear height advantage. The Jayhawks had seven blocks in just the first set, ending the afternoon with 13.5 total.
"You know, you can talk about attacks, you can talk about a lot of different things, but blocking's the most intimidating fundamental in the game," Bechard said. "And when you start blocking teams, you can change the
game."
For Kansas, Albers finished the day with a game-high 10 kills while turning in a .381 hitting percentage. Payne contributed seven kills on a .429 hitting percentage as well.
The Red Raiders were led by sophomore middle blocker Lauren Douglass' eight kills and .727 hitting percentage, though Texas Tech as a team finished the afternoon with a dismal .075 hitting percentage.
That's a good team, 15-5. That completes the first round of Big 12, winning four of our last five." Bechard said. "So, certainly we feel like we have a little momentum going."

two goals by junior midfielder Liana Salazar gave No. 15 Kansas (15-3-0, 5-2-0) a 2-1 victory against Iowa State (6-10-0, 0-6-0) on Friday and pushed the team into program history, as well. With 10 wins, the team set a KU record for the number of home games won in a single season. How fitting the deciding game happened on senior night, too.

with intensity and speed, and tonight was no exception. Kansas kept up a pressured offensive attack throughout the majority of the first half, dominating possession and keeping a tough Cyclone defense on its toes and its keeper working in the box.

Salazar said this historic game reflects the success of this year's team and the fans that support it.
"This is amazing," Salazar said. "When we play at home we can feel the people. People like to come here, enjoy and watch the game. For us, it's like thanking the fans for giving us this amazing support. This is just the result of a great atmosphere."
The Jayhawks pride themselves on starting games
Sophomore midfielder Tayler Estrada winds up for a shot against Iowa State on Friday. Kansas won 2-1 on senior night.
Within minutes of the game starting, an ISU defender tripped senior forward/midfielder Jamie Fletcher from behind as she made an attempt on goal. The resulting penalty kick allowed Salazar to drill a sharp shot into the upper right hand corner of the net for her 10th goal of the year.
few close calls when ISU got too close to the box.
"I thought the kids did a good job of executing what we told them to do," coach Mark Francis said. "I'm a little bit disappointed we didn't score more goals. We obviously had some good opportunities. I think I would've liked to have been more efficient."
While ISU defense put up a fight, its offense lagged behind in shots, 14-4 at the end of the first half. This did not change as the team entered the second half, and the Jayhawks quickly picked up where they left off — aggressively attacking on offense. Once again, the Jayhawks controlled the ball for the majority of the half, and their defense thwarted a
"I practice PK's every single day!" Salazar said. "I think now that everyone knows where I'm going to shoot, I have to change it up a bit ... My team is helping me score, they have all the credit."
Salazar's second and final goal of the night arrived with four minutes left in the game. On a fast-paced breakaway from midfield, Salazar shot the ball from far out into the lower left hand corner of the goal past a diving ISU keeper to give Kansas a 2-0 lead.
"She's scored a lot this year," Francis said. "Of course, it's been a few games since she's scored. That second goal was a really good goal; that's a goal scorer's goal. She got in that situation and placed it in the far corner. Really good finish by her. I think for her it's good for her confidence to score again but also good for our team."
"Little bit disappointed with that goal," Francis said. "It would've been nice to have gotten the shutout. But the most important thing tonight was that we won."
ISU was determined to get on the board, however, and moments later forward Koree Willer put in her first Big 12 goal of the season and cut the lajhawks' lead to one.
At the conclusion of the game, the program held its annual Senior Night ceremony and honored six senior leaders: Jamie Fletcher, Ali Kimura, Kelsey Lyden, Kaitlyn Stroud, Caroline Van Slambrouck and Haley Yearout. These six helped Kansas to 42 victories in four seasons and four straight Big 12 tournament appearances. They have an accumulated 234 starts and more than 22,000 minutes of play.
"It means a lot [to win on senior night]" Salazar said. "I [arrived at Kansas] with them when we were freshmen because I redshirted. So it's
sad to see them go because they've been with me since the beginning. But they deserve this win. They've been a huge part of the program."
With only one game this weekend, the Jayhawks will be able to rest and recover for their final regular season game against Oklahoma on Friday.
"Right now we have to go to OU and win there and be ready for the Big 12 Tournament," Salazar said. "We can win the tournament, so I think we are going to rest this week and be ready to go."

Coaches embrace tradition of Allen Fieldhouse
@KylePap
KYLE PAPPAS
All four of Kansas basketball's living coaches gathered inside Allen Fieldhouse on Monday night to celebrate the 60th anniversary of basketball inside the Phog. It was the first time ever that the four have reunited publicly.
Bill Self, Larry Brown, Roy Williams and Ted Owens celebrate Allen Fieldhouse's 60th anniversary on Monday.
With 50 of the Phog's last 60 years accounted for in the four coaches, the progression of college basketball's most historic venue had never been more readily on display.
"Most of the years I coached, it was a dirt floor, and it was elevated above," former coach Ted Owens said. "The real problem was, for some reason, they didn't put the floor in until the day before we started practice."
Owens said that before the floor was installed, his players were forced to hold workouts at nearby Robinson Gymnasium. Recruits? They were treated with what Owens described as "a big o' barn" during their off-season visits to Lawrence.
Since Owens' tenure at Kansas concluded in 1983, much has changed — technology has improved, the game has evolved,

and tens of millions of dollars are annually pumped into college basketball programs. With these changes has come a challenge: finding a way to maintain the unparalleled history of Allen Fieldhouse while still equipping it with the modernity required to woo recruits and fans alike.
"Allen Fieldhouse is the St. Andrews of basketball. This magnificent building cannot be captured in words, you have to feel it."
JAY BILAS Master of Ceremonies
"What we've done, and what a lot of bright minds have done, is taken a very historic place, a treasure, and added all the modern amenities that the new arenas have across America," current coach Bill Self said.
tions. The Jayhawks' new-look locker room puts some NBA prepping areas to shame — Self says it's "impressive to anyone that is able to step inside the halls and take a tour of it." The 32,000-square-foot DeBruce will be an $18 million extension to the fieldhouse and is set to be completed in 2015.
Kansas' newly renovated locker room and the pending completion of the DeBruce Center are two prime examples of these modern addi-
more has stayed the same.
"To see what's been done to it since I left, you know, I've been fortunate enough, Bill [Self]'s kept me in the loop and brought me back numerous times," said former coach Larry Brown. "But you know, the fact that after all these years nothing's really changed — it's all about the basketball court and the people that are in it."
Yes, the renovations and additions have been plentiful as of late, but Self is still committed to keeping "the integrity of the way the building was originally meant to be built." While other programs have abandoned their old facilities in favor of newer, more aesthetically pleasing ones, Kansas has embraced its home, its tradition, and its story.
The Phog has come a long way from the "big ol' barn" that Owens spoke of, but the tradition and history that has graced the building since 1955 hasn't gone anywhere. While some things have undeniably changed,
"Sixty years in one building and everybody's in an arm's race in college athletics trying to plow one field and put one up before the next one gets up beside it," former coach Roy Williams said.
Master of Ceremonies Jay Bilas might have said it best though, when he declared, "Allen Fieldhouse is the St. Andrews of basketball. This magnificent building cannot be
captured in words, you have to feel it. This building has a soul."
"In this building has a soul."
Time will pass, things will change, technology will continue to get better — it's inevitable.
But it's clear that "soul" in the Phog isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Speaker at University addresses sexual violence MCKENNA HARFORD @McKennaHartford
+
Melissa Harris-Perry, a talk show host, professor and author, spoke at the University Monday night and said sexual violence should be discussed in the context of women's bodies.
Harris-Perry said women should have control over their bodies and sexual violence stems from taking the control away from women. She told the audience she believed the politics behind controlling women's bodies comes from the disgust of women's bodies.
THE MAYOR
Financing will be an added stress next year for students like Ruben Medina, a junior from San Antonio, Texas. Stouffer Place, the only family and graduate housing complex owned by the University, officially closes in June 2015. Medina says he is worried about the move because he has no idea what he and his wife can afford based on their current situation.
She spoke at the Lied Center on Monday night for the seventh year of the Jana Mackey lecture series, which is sponsored by the Emily Taylor Center for Women and Gender Equity and focuses on sexual assault and domestic violence.
Harris-Perry addressed racial and class differences in sexual violence. She said race and class can cause women to be silent about assault, which in itself is a form of violence against women.
She also discussed ways to address violence and change the culture surrounding violence. Harris-Perry said the changes that would make the biggest differences are supporting policies that spread information and allow women to make their own choices on their bodies.
Harris-Perry said policies that give women reproductive rights and the power to make those decisions, as well as making information about those topics available, would empower women and address issues that can lead to sexual violence.

Students leaving Stouffer Place fear higher rent

@RileyMortensen
Step into Ruben Medina's student housing unit at Stouffer Place Apartments and it's easy to tell he's not your average undergraduate. In the living room, there's a Rock 'Em Sock 'Em robot and puzzle pieces on the floor and in a bedroom, the bunk beds he built for his two young sons.
Medina and his wife, Jeanette are both military veterans studying community health. They chose the University in part because they could live in the family housing apartments on campus. But next summer, the University will close Stouffer Place. Like other families in the complex, the Medinas are worried they won't be able to afford a decent off-campus apartment when they have to move.
Currently, the Medinas pay $550 per month including utilities for a two-bedroom apartment. He will graduate in May but his wife has another year left to get her degree.
"It's going to be an added stress to try and navigate our finances to afford the types of availability that's around here," said Medina, who currently works part time as a KU research intern.
Diana Robertson, director of Student Housing, said Lawrence has a diverse mix of housing that should make it possible for the Medinas and other student families to find affordable housing.
The University and Stouffer Place Neighborhood Association are partnering to provide sessions to residents with information and advice about off-campus options. The first session is scheduled for Nov.7.
"We are fortunate that Lawrence is a community that's well built with plenty of apartment options and rental homes," Robertson said. "I'm confident that there are many places for the students."
University officials announced in June that the
Stouffer Place complex, which consists of 25 two-story buildings at Iowa and 19th streets, will be torn down and replaced by science buildings and a new apartment complex for single upperclassmen and graduate students.
Like the University of Kansas, the University of Missouri has closed University Village, its 1950s era apartment complex for graduate and professional students with families. In making the decision, MU officials cited hazardous conditions, according to the student newspaper, the Maneater. The University of Missouri has not made a decision to rebuild the graduate and family housing.
Currently, single students and families occupy 217 of the one-, two- and three-bedroom units at Stouffer Place, which was completed in 1962. Another 37 apartments are empty, several due to structural problems, Robertson said.
Kansas State University, however, has chosen to renovate older buildings and add more graduate and family housing. According to its website, six buildings at Jardine Apartments, Kansas State's graduate and family housing complex, were renovated and reopened between 2006 and 2008. Another renovated building was reopened in 2012, and since 2007, 17 new buildings have been added to Jardine Apartments.
Steuernagel said he expects to have to find a higher paying job to support his family next year as a result of higher rent costs. The Steuernagels pay $521 a month for a two-bedroom walk-through, utilities included.
Another issue for some students, particularly those from other countries, is the loss of community they now feel at Stouffer Place. Stouffer Place Apartments has been home to many international students and families.
At the University of Kansas, more than 120 families still call Stouffer Place home. Resident Jarred Steuernagel works as a shift leader at Pizza Hut in Leavenworth to support his
family. His wife is a pre-med major with three years left to get her bachelor's degree in biology. The couple has a young son.
Hongjuan Zhou, a Ph.D. student from China, has one toddler who she takes to playgrounds at Stouffer. Zhou and
Information sessions are planned to help Stouffer Place residents transition to off campus housing when the complex closes in May. Following is information about the first session:
Event: The Do's and Don'ts of Off-Campus Leasing
Place: Burge Union, Courtside Room
Food: Pizza and drinks will also be provided

Ferguson panel draws full house in Lawrence
JAMES LAMB
@thejameslamb
It was a full house Monday night inside the auditorium of the Lawrence Public Library, where an expert panel discussed the recent events in Ferguson, Mo.
Hosted by the University's College of Liberal Arts & Sciences, the panel included Clarence Lang, an associate professor of African and African-American Studies and American Studies at the University, Brendan Roediger, an assistant professor of law from St. Louis University and Jamala Rogers, a columnist for the "St. Louis American" and an editorial board member for both TheBlackCommentator.com and "The Black Scholar."
The free event drew a diverse audience of about 150 people, many of whom stood due to limited seating. Many in the audience came to ask questions and participate in discussions on the recent protests.
shooting of Michael Brown.

The situation's historical background, the impact of the Dred Scott decision of 1857 and the misinformation surrounding Ferguson in the media were all discussed at the event. The speakers expressed how encouraged they were over the wide response to the
"It's been 80 days since Mike Brown was murdered, and when we say 'the events of Ferguson', what we really mean is a movement that has kept his memory alive," said Roediger. "We're not talking about this tonight because a QT burned down. We're talking about this 80 days later because of young people who are doing something different, they're doing something incredible."
"For St. Louis that's huge, because [St. Louis has] been a segregated city for so long," Rogers said. "But some of us have been doing that work for a long time, developing white allies who understand racism."
"You might not win, but at least with a fight, there's an opportunity to determine the terms of surrender."

Jamala Rogers said much of her encouragement stemmed from not just the age diversity of those participating in the Ferguson protests, but the racial diversity as well.
Marketing students adjust to new professors
Students enrolled in Rich Delaney's Marketing 310 and 311 classes received new instructors on Oct. 16, because Delaney is no longer employed by the School of Business.
Students in his classes were given evaluation forms the week of Oct. 7 and were subsequently re-assigned, with lecturer Jana Fitchett teaching 310 and associate professor Aaron Clopton teaching 311.
Austin Falley, communications director for the School of Business, confirmed that Delaney is no longer employed by the University, but personnel matters are consid-
Dalane said the decision to replace him was quick and "questionable." He has not yet received his separation papers from the School of Business, and is waiting until then to comment further.
the university filled Delaney's position from within the School of Business. Fitchett has been with the University since 2006 and Clopton since 2011. Both have consulted with Delaney's former teaching assistants and received feedback from students. Hal McCoy III, a teaching assistant for the 310 class, said he and Fitchett worked together to create a new syllabus that students will receive Tuesday.
ered confidential and no further information regarding the decision has been made public.

The panel also touched on issues including the grand jury investigating the shooting, segregated education in St. Louis and issues relating to the overzealous issuing of warrants. Lang also pointed out the importance of protesters continuing to fight for change.
regarding white people who may feel obliged to defend police, Rogers was blunt.
"We can't end without consideration of what's occurring but also of how people are fighting, and how people have fought," said Lang. "My view is that as long as there's a fight, there's a possibility for a victory. You might not win, but at least with a fight, there's an opportunity to determine the terms of surrender."
"One of the things that [comes up] in conversations that I have with white people about the role of police is how it's different in [their] community, [and so they] can't comprehend this," Rogers said. "In [their] community, they are protecting and serving. That's not the role that they play in our community. Believe me when I tell you what my experience is with police. It's not going to be the same as yours."
In an article titled "LFK Poetry Slam debuts at the Granada" in Monday's issue of the Kansan, Michael Brown was misidentified as Michael Brownback. Also in Monday's issue, two advertisements on page 9 were paid advertising. The cartoon was paid for by Citizens Against Greg Orman and the candidate guide was paid for by Campus Election Engagement.

US governors, Army go own way on Ebola quarantines
As contradictory state policies proliferate in response to Ebola fears, the CDC's recommendations mark an effort to create a national standard, one that would protect public health without discouraging people from helping fight its spread overseas.
NEWARK, N.J. — The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Monday recommended new restrictions for people at highest risk for coming down with the Ebola virus and symptom monitoring for those at lower risk, but some state governors and even the Army are carving their own paths.
The CDC now says even if people have no symptoms and are not considered contagious they should stay away from commercial transportation or public gatherings if they have been in direct contact with the bodily fluids of someone sick with Ebola - say, by touching their fluids without protective gear or by suffering an injury from a contaminated needle.
Absent that direct contact, simply caring for Ebola patients or traveling in West Africa doesn't warrant quarantine conditions, the public health agency said.

But quarantines are determined state by state in the U.S., and the CDC is empowered only to issue guidelines. And even within the federal government, authorities were improvising Monday: A U.S. Army commander in Italy said he and his troops returning from Liberia would remain in isolation for 21 days, even though he feels they face no risk and show no symptoms. The Army's chief of staff, Gen. Ray Odierno, directed the 21-day controlled monitoring period for all redeploying soldiers returning from the Ebola fight in West Africa, an Army spokeswoman said.
A nurse who volunteered with Doctors Without Borders in Africa was released after spending her weekend quarantined in a tent in New Jersey upon her return, despite showing no symptoms other than an elevated temperature she blamed on "inhumane" treatment at Newark International Airport.

Romney, Dole campaign with US Sen. Roberts

Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., dons a Kansas City Royals cap during a rally with Mitt Romney, right, in Overland Park, Kan., on Monday. Romney is campaigning in Kansas for U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts' re-election, portraying a vote for his independent challenger as a vote for Democratic President Barack Obama.
OVERLAND PARK, Kan.
— Former Republican pres-
idential nominee Mitt Romney campaigned Monday in Kansas with U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts, an effort to bolster the three-term incumbent's message that GOP voters must re-elect him to thwart the agenda of Democratic President Barack Obama.
Romney, who lost to Obama when the president won re-election in 2012, appeared with Roberts and other top Kansas Republicans for a rally at an upscale suburban Kansas City-area restaurant and bowling emporium. Introducing Romney was Kansas political icon Bob Dole, a former U.S. Senate majority leader and the 1996 GOP presidential nominee.
Roberts, 78, is in a tight race with independent candidate Greg Orman, a 45-year-old businessman and co-founder of a private equity firm. Republicans need six seats to regain a Senate majority during Obama's final two years in office, and they've always counted on Roberts winning in his GOP-leaning state.
Orman is running as a centrist, promising to caucus with whichever party wins a clear majority in the Senate or to play kingmaker if neither does. Roberts and his fellow Republicans portray Orman as a liberal Democrat in disguise as they try to keep disaffected GOP and unaffiliated voters in the senator's camp.
Both Romney and Roberts spent much of their remarks criticizing Obama on domestic and foreign policy issues.
Obama received only 38 percent of the vote in Kansas in winning re-election two years ago.
"It is essential that we elect Pat Roberts again to the U.S. Senate," Romney said. "A vote for Greg Orman is a vote for Barack Obama, and America should not make that mistake three times."
Romney's appearance was in Johnson County, the state's most populous county and home to 22 percent of its 1.74 million registered voters. It's normally a GOP stronghold — both Romney and Dole carried it with 58 percent of the vote in their presidential runs — but Orman is from Olathe, and with his business profile, he expects do well there.
Orman visited an Olathe retirement community before meeting with volunteers at a phone bank in Shawnee.
Roberts has been dogged by questions about owning a Washington-area home while listing rented space in the home of two Dodge City supporters as his official residence and, in recent weeks, about missing most of the meetings of several committees on which he serves.
"No matter how many national politicians Senator Roberts brings to Kansas, Kansans know that Washington is broken and Senator Roberts is part of the problem there," Orman campaign manager Jim Jonas said.
Peggy Hamtill, a 74-year-old Leawood retiree who came to the Romney event, said regaining a GOP majority is crucial to her and called Orman a "stealth candidate."
"It's important to me that we be able to have a voice," she said.

"Price is not a problem, but this community, we cannot find the same one," Zhou said.
Hayder Almosa, a Ph.D. student from Iraq, said the friends his family has made at Stouffer are invaluable. He and his wife and their three children often eat and hang out with neighbors.
Almosa has found many other students from Iraq at Stouffer.
"Before I came here I lived in Park 25 (apartments) and in Park 25 I cannot find someone to or share something with, but here no," Almosa said. "I have lots of friends here."
Although Almosa's children are not yet old enough to attend school, many other families at Stouffer including the Medinas send their children to Hillcrest Elementary and other schools in Lawrence. Some students worry their children won't be in the same school district when they have to move.
Hillcrest Elementary Principal Tammy Becker said they currently have around 35 students from Stouffer Place and anticipate the return of the majority of those students next year despite families moving.
"I understand that KU needs that land to expand, but it's sad from the stand-point that that has been a long standing international community." Becker said. "I see both sides."

Christmas promotion arrives too early in season
not a Grinch. Ebenezer Scrooge is not my role model. My birthday is on Christmas, and I'm one of the most festive people around. With that being said, our obsession with Christmas needs to stop.
Each year, it feels like the Christmas spirit comes sooner and sooner. At the beginning of this month I saw a Christmas movie marathon advertised on TV. A few days later, I
saw snowflake shaped Cheeze-Its making their annual grocery store debut. It all seemed about two months too soon, especially since there are two major holidays between now and Christmas.
Halloween and Thanksgiving are getting mowed over. At the beginning of October, people seem more excited about the return of the pumpkin spice latté than the actual return of Halloween.

likewise, Thanksgiving is or used to be the jumping-off point for Christmas radio stations and holiday ads. According to Forbes, 49 percent of companies in 2013 planned on launching a Christmas
marketing campaign before Halloween. If not then, Nov. 15 is the most popular day to begin holiday advertising. This seems a bit too hasty, like giving a 7-year-old a car in anticipation for his or her 16th birthday.
Putting Christmas tree ornaments on shelves and promoting Christmas movie marathons during early fall will not make time pass any faster. Soon, Christmas in July won't be a joke — it will be reality.
There is a time for everything, and now it's time for Halloween. In a few weeks it will be time for Thanksgiving and eventually, it will be time for Christmas. Until then, remember the immortal words of Yoda: "Patience you must have, my young padawan."

Going the extra mile necessary for art grads to succeed
A cloud of doubt and doom persistently
persistently hovers above the heads of many art majors hoping to find a decent paying job post-graduation. The most common of all collegiate questions, "What's your major?" usually precedes a slew of other inquiries when one identifies as an artist.
The economic downturn of the past five years has left many artists wondering whether they will find jobs after college. Art careers require a serious
time commitment while receiving uncertain pay and questionable job security. No matter how much an artist enjoys creating beautiful and engaging projects, he or she must find a way to make a living with what they do.
By Jake Kaufmann
@JakeKaufmannUDK
A recent study conducted by the Strategic National Arts Alumni Project at Indiana University suggests that graduates in the arts are now more likely to find a steady income, as well as job satisfaction in their
careers. The survey of approximately 100,000 art graduates found that some 65 percent of recent graduates were able to find work in art-related fields and 52 percent were satisfied with their income. It also found that 75 percent of people who graduated with an
arts degree in the past five years maintained a high level of satisfaction with their jobs. The study seems to suggest that pursuing a fulfilling job, not just a lucrative one, still offers opportunities.
While these numbers may be reassuring for the creative minds walking the halls of the Art & Design building, students should keep in mind that their success in such an unpredictable field depends on the tools they acquire during college. Universities must consistently
enhance their ability to push talented artists through their doors with a focus on professional careers. Artists who apply the creativity and ambition they learn in class to a life outside of the University will prosper financially and emotionally.

HOROSCOPES
Because the stars
know things we don't.
Aries (March 21 - April 19)
You'll get into a passionate discussion with somebody sexy this week, and sparks will fly.
You won't be sure if you hate this person or love him or her.
Mercury is creating some confusion. Take some time to sort out your true feelings.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
This is a good week to work on improving your relationship. If you've been in a rocky one, don't give up just yet. Work with a therapist or other third party to get an outside perspective. The sun hints that there's something you're not seeing clearly.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21)
A wild, crazy feeling is in the air. You'll want to dance naked by moonlight or chant strange, primal sounds to the stars. Or, you could just make passionate love to your honey. The moon says anything goes, and it's up to you to decide how you want to move.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22)
You're in a mellow mood, thanks to the moon. Even if your partner is stressed out about something, you'll be able to remain calm and centered. Share that calm vibe with others who could use an encouraging word or two.
Leo (July 23 - Aug. 22)
Don't let yourself get too grumpy this week, even though you'll probably want to sit and sulk about stuff. A moon opposition is reminding you of all the things that are upsetting in your personal life. You need to find a pleasant distraction
piousaint distraction.
Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22) You're experiencing more stability than you have in a while. Your romantic situation isn't as crazy, and you feel better about your current professional path, too. Mars will continue to help you over the next few weeks.
Libra (Sept. 23 - Oct. 23)
You and your honey could clash
over money matters. The moon
is reminding you that both of
you need to be on the same page
about finances. If one of you is
paying all the bills, things are
getting out of balance and this
needs to change.
Scorpio (Oct. 24 - Nov. 21)
Pay attention to your intuition.
Venus is increasing that natural psychic abilities of yours. Maybe you'll sense that someone in your circle is interested in you, even if this person is acting shy.
It could be time to take action.
Start flirting.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21) You might have a premonition about what you really want to be when you grow up. Jupiter is bringing you a sense of what your ideal future can be. You could realize something important about life and love. Pay attention to these moments of insight as they strike.
Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan.19)
You and your honey will enjoy spending time together as the moon creates a feeling of light-hearted fun. Take a day trip together or go out to dinner at a new place. Do something different and put yourself in a fresh setting.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)
As an Air sign, you have a way
with words. But sometimes
people don't appreciate your
playful sense of humor. Your
honey can be dealing with
something stressful during this
Saturn transit and might not be
in a hiking mood.
Pisces (Feb. 19 - March 20)
You could reconnect with someone you used to date as the moon creates some strange encounters. You're probably over this person by now, but it might be useful to talk to him or her again. You could realize something important about yourself
in the process.
Rock Climbing Club competes in Arkansas
RYAN MILLER
@Ryanmiller_UDK
Some college students play football or soccer or go on a run to stay in shape. Others climb 1,000-foot rock faces.
Last month, from Sept. 24-28, several members of the Rock Climbing Club attended an event called "24 Hours of Horseshoe Hell" at Horseshoe Canyon Ranch in Jasper, Ark. The event offered two competitions to participate in: a 12-hour and 24-hour long competition. The goal for both categories was to climb as many routes as possible in the allotted time.
Mitchell Friedeman, current president of KU Rock Climbing and a senior from Olathe, took part in the 12-hour advanced competition with his climbing partner, Ryan Holcomb, a first-year graduate student from Bonner Springs. Climbing as many routes as they could, the two climbed for 12 straight hours. Friedeman and Holcomb were just two of nine recent graduates and five current students who represented the club at the competition.
"It felt awesome ... we weren't necessarily expecting it, but it turns out KU in general swept the 12-hour podium." Friedeman said.
"It tests you for sure, both mentally and physically," Friedeman said. "About six hours in we started to snap at each other and wearing down, but overall we pulled it together, and we make a great team."
Friedeman and Holcomb ended up placing first in their category.
In addition to the club sweeping the 12-hour podium, Friedeman said past club presidents Ryan Surface, a 2012 alumni from Kansas City, and Brian Lesage, a 2013 alumni from Leawood, were in the elite 24-hour category and secured second place.
"They beat out professional teams to get second," Friedeman said. "It was mind blowing, truly."
Friedeman has been looking to improve on the already popular club this year. Friedeman said he hopes to take more trips to gyms in Kansas City during the winter, and that he's been working with local businesses to set up more club nights where the club watches movies, look at gear and get discounts for the club. He said they're also looking forward to teaching new climbers, many of whom
"We have all these excited individuals who are just so stoked about climbing, that they're down to teaching the new people what they need to know," Friedeman said.
are incoming freshmen.
Desiriae Zachgo, a freshman from Wakefield and a new member of the club, said she's looking forward to going on more of the climbing trips later this year.
"I like the thrill of trying to not fall." Zachgo said.
Friedeman's interest in rock climbing began when he was a child.
"I'd see these huge rocks, and think they were so cool, but I had no outlet, so I was just looking at it," he said.
Friedeman said he began actually climbing a month before he came to the University, and after inquiring about the club on his first day at the rock wall, it took off from there.
"Now [that] I've found rock climbing. I have an outlet to go experience nature in a whole new way that I never had before," Friedeman said. "It's pretty sweet."
Friedeman said for most people, conquering fear is the biggest issue when faced with rock climbing.
"Once you get over the fear, the physical ability comes, cause a lot of the time it's your head that's holding you back," he said.
For Zachgo, the hardest part of rock climbing is the strength required to climb. After having shoulder surgery this past summer, Zachgo has had to build up her strength in order to climb. Friedeman said new climbers sometimes become focused on the numbers around it, like how hard someone is climbing, or the difficulty of their route.
"We like to say in the club: The best climber is the one that's having the most fun," he said. "It's kind of like a bunch of hippy athletes who just love having fun and spending time outside."
For now, Friedeman and the club are looking forward to future trips, like the yearly trip to the Red Rocks in Nevada, as well as welcoming new climbers and teaching them the various methods for rock climbing.
"It's an amazing thing we have here at KU." Friedeman said, "The great thing is you'll meet a lot of really genuine and awesome people, and it's a great thing that has definitely transformed my time at KU"

University holds first Spanish film festival
Film festival shows four films in hopes of creating tradition
DELANEY REYBURN
@DelaneyReyburn
Vamos! Spanish Language Film Festival is the first festival of its kind to be held at the University. The festival is showing a series of four different films in hopes of starting a new tradition of Spanish film festivals. Margaret jamieson, one of the organizers of Vamos! hopes with the success of this festival, it will be the first of many.
"The University of Kansas has an incredible wealth of language programs, and people that I met early on here at KU really pointed out to me what a unique thing it is in Kansas, or in the Midwest really, that there are so many languages," Jamieson said.
Jamieson, who moved to Lawrence from the Bay Area a year ago, is a lecturer in Film and Media Studies at the University and a large contributor to the festival.
which began Oct. 15 and runs through Nov. 14. The festival celebrates the film cultures of Chile, Mexico, Costa Rica, Brazil and Spain.
With Jamieson's Hispanic background, she has always been interested in the Spanish language and culture and how it can be found in all different places. The festival is halfway through its series of four screenings. The next film, "El regreso," ("The Return") will screen Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. in room 100 of Oldfather Studios. The final screening, "Xingu," will be in the auditorium of the Spencer Museum Nov. 5 at 5:30 p.m. All the screenings are open to the public. Jamieson said the last two showings contained a mix of people, from faculty and students to community members.
Jamieson said the films in the festival may never have the chance to be distributed through the United States, so festivals such as Vamos! make it possible to bring these different cultures to the U.S.
"Some of the films are a little bit challenging."
Jamieson said. "Some of these films you have maybe seen at a film festival in New York or in California but some not even that, you have to find really specific film festivals to view these films."
Jamieson said many departments and organizations were involved in the contributions that have made Vamos! possible.
STEPHANIE WILLE Graduate student
"I love seeing culture and film being brought together. It really shows how expansive the film industry is becoming."
It was also funded in part with a grant from PRAGDA, a New York-based distribution company of Spanish and Latin American films.
Having previously known about PRAGDA, Jamieson and her team decided to apply for the grant. This led to her working with the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, as
Jamieson said aside from the help of PRAGDA, EGARC (Ermal Garinger Academic Resource Center) was the festival's largest financial supporter, and it made a commitment to purchase the films and make them available through the University's library. EGARC is an academic unit within the Humanities division of the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences.
well as a couple people from international programs such as international and interdisciplinary studies at the University.
all of these groups helped us."
Being fairly new at the University, Jamieson said it was very pleasing to be able to successfully pull this festival off.
"What's been really exciting to me as a new person here at KU is being able to work with all these different groups: the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, graduate students, EGARC, the anthropology department and global and international studies," Jamieson said. "It's just this fantastic group of people, I can't say enough about how
Jamieson said graduate students from the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies and from the Department of Spanish and Portuguese helped select the film for the final jVamos! screening. Since the business school is having its Brazilian festival the same night, they decided to combine the two events to avoid splitting the audience.
Graduate student of film and media studies, Stephanie Wille from Lawrence, said the festival has been really exciting for her.
"I love seeing culture and film being brought together," she said. "It really shows how expansive the film industry is becoming."
Jamieson said the motivation for the festival does not stem from anything specific going on in Latin American cinema currently, but rather comes from issues about nationality and immigration that affect us all, and the directors of these films are working with that.

28 percent of Americans admit to online 'trolling,' study finds
In a recent research study conducted by YouGov.com, over 28 percent of Americans admit to being intentionally mean toward someone they didn't know on the Internet, according to a survey of 1,125 adults.
By Maegan Bull
@Maegan bull
Ten years ago if you were to ask someone what a troll was, the common response might be, "oh you mean the thing that lives under the bridge?" Today the term "trolling" is Internet terminology that is used to describe someone who is deliberately provoking or upsetting other users on the Internet by posting mean (degrading, racial, religious, etc.) comments or starting arguments, usually with random strangers, on online discussion boards.
According to the study, 23 percent of those who have ever posted content admit to having maliciously argued over an opinion with a stranger and 23 percent have maliciously argued over facts.
Trolling is often seen on sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Reddit and Yik Yak but are not limited to just
these sites. Trolling happens everywhere but according to the study, the main age group of trollers range from 18-34, with male users reporting higher rates of trolling than females.
Anonymous posting apps have become easy platforms for trolling because it allows users to stay anonymous and receive no reprimand for their actions. According to the study (by YouGov.com), 77 percent of the people surveyed would be more likely to engage in trolling activities if they were able to remain anonymous.
The question now arises
Taylor Crane, a sophomore from Overland Park, thinks it should be.
whether or not trolling should be considered cyber bullying.
"Trolling is something that happens all the time now," Crane said. "You can't look at any video on YouTube without seeing a negative comment about someone. Same with playing online games. Some people don't even know what trolling is but I consider it a form of bullying. Sometimes people take it way too far."

Museum unveils exhibit showing rich story of Jewish life in Poland
2015
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WARSAW, Poland — In the two millennia between ancient Israel and its modern rebirth, Jews never enjoyed as much political autonomy as they did in Poland, a land that centuries later would become intrinsically linked to the Holocaust.
A worker looks at a display of photographs and texts from early 1900 at the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw, Poland.
The story of this great flourishing of political and cultural life is part of a 1,000-year history told in a visually striking new museum, the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews, which opens its long-awaited core exhibition to the public Tuesday amid days of celebrations.
The Polish and Israeli presidents will attend, along with Polish Holocaust survivors who helped create this memorial to the lost world of their ancestors

Polin is Hebrew for Poland, and also means "rest here," a reference to a story Jews told themselves about their arrival in Poland in the Middle Ages: that they found favor from the rulers and were allowed to dwell there in tranquility. The result was centuries of a flourishing Yiddish-speaking civilization that made important contributions to Polish and world culture before being nearly wiped out by Nazi Germany.
"The Holocaust has cast a shadow onto this great civilization and the generations of Jews who lived in Eastern Europe before the Second World War, as if those centuries of life were little more than a preface to the Holocaust," Museum Director Dariusz Stola said. "But that is absurd. This museum stresses that 1,000
years of Jewish life are not less worthy of remembrance than the six years of the Holocaust."
Poland, in a union formed in the 16th century with Lithuania called the Commonwealth, became one of Europe's largest and most ethnically diverse territories.
Jews benefited from tolerance and a large degree of self-governance granted by the rulers, growing into the world's largest Jewish community. Today 9 million of the world's 14 million Jews can trace their ancestry to Poland.
"They're making really innovative, expansive work, which still expands many of the Hollywood traditions," Jamieson said.
FILM FROM PAGE 5
Although Vamos! hasn't been a tradition at Kansas, film festivals in general are routinely held by the Center for Global and International Studies.
"It's just really the multitude of groups and departments of people who want to be able to present these films and discuss them that allowed all of this to come together," Jamieson said.
The Films:
The Paints.
“Tambien la lluvia” (“Even the Rain”) was shown on Oct. 15 as the opening film of the festival.
Viewers were able to watch this film about exploration in South America while eating homemade tamales cooked by a local Mexican chef.
"La muerte de Pinochet"
("The Death of Pinochet")
explores Chilean history.
It was followed by a Q&A with the film's director, Ivan Osnovikoff. This documentary, screened Oct. 20, is a very challenging film, Jamieson said.
"It's a really interesting film but it does not hold your hand, if you don't know Chilean history, you don't know who Pinochet was, it doesn't really baby you along," jamieson said.
This film is based on a true story about the exploration of Brazil in 1943. A discussion with professor of Spanish and Portuguese, Luciano Tosta, will follow the film.

THE DAILY DEBATE
Should the Kansas City Royals re-sign James Shields?
By GJ Melia
@gjmelia
"YES"
The 2014 Kansas City Royals' season has come down to
Game 6 of the World Series at Kauffman Stadium. Regardless of what happens Tuesday, starting pitcher James Shields' season is over.
Shields pitched well Sunday in his 2014 finale, a 5-0 loss to Giants' ace Madison Bumgarner. Shields gave up two runs on eight hits, with four strikeouts in six innings pitched. Though it was a loss, it was a strong performance to end what has been a shaky five postseason starts. With an ERA of 6.12, Shields' playoffs haven't been the best. He's pitched 25 innings, giving up 17 runs on 36 hits.
With his contract ending after the season, management has to decide if Kansas City should spend the money to re-sign Shields.
When he was brought to Kansas City in December of 2012, his job was not only to be the Royals' ace, but to change the overall mantra of the clubhouse. In 2012, the clubhouse was filled with an
exuberant amount of young talent. The lone veterans on the team were designated hitter Billy Butler and left fielder Alex Gordon, who had zero postseason experience in their careers.
Shields' job was to take the Royals to the postseason for the first time since 1985 with his pitching, leadership and experience. In 2013, the team fell short of the playoffs by six games. The 2014 team exceeded expectations, clinching a playoff spot and sweeping its way to the World Series.
Shields' numbers have been dropping since he's arrived in Kansas City, but Royals fans shouldn't forget, he's one of the biggest reasons why they have a chance to win their first World Series in 29 years.
It doesn't matter if the Giants
win Game 6 on Tuesday, because the glory days of Royals greats George Brett and Bret Saberhagen have been recreated in one postseason
you want to thank one player on this team, thank James Shields. Sure, he's not nearly as dominant as he once was. Sure, he's had a poor postseason. He's probably had the worst playoffs of the Royals' four starting pitchers.
That being said, thank him for teaching one big talent pool how to win. His confidence throughout his two years in Kansas City rubbed onto the young guns of the Royals, which is why they sit two games away from a World Series Championship.
If you're a Royals fan, and
Regardless of what happens in the rest of the World Series, and how much money he'll ask for next year, Kansas City should re-sign James Shields.
Edited by Rob Pyatt
By Connor Oberkrom
@coberkro
"NO"
Whether you agree to place him in the top stratosphere of major league ace pitchers or not, James Shields was the Royals' best pitcher for the past two seasons.
Shields pitched his last game under the contract the Tampa Bay Rays gave him in 2008, and now the Royals will decide whether to extend his contract or explore his options in the more lucrative free agent world.
If Shields were to command more than three years, the most prudent thing would be to let him walk away and venture off to another team.
The Royals' model has always been discount spending -- trying to get below market value for its free agents. Signing Shields to a 5-year, $125 million contract would prove an exception to that model.
Shields has accumulated eight straight seasons of 200 innings and will turn 33 years old in December. The track record of pitchers coming off this type of workload doesn't bode well if the Royals do stick with him. C.C. Sabathia and Justin Verlander are two prime examples of that.
If they were scant in their farm system, keeping Shields on might make some sense. However, highly touted pitcher Kyle Zimmer, on paper, is everything you want in a frontline starter. Royals
also have two other prospects in the top 100 in Sean Mannea and Miguel Almonte.

end starter. This gives the Royals several options and offers a chance to gain experience as a starting pitcher.
Just a few years ago, trusting pitching prospects was seen as a sin by Royals fans because, with the exception of Zack Greinke, there was no precedent to be found of the Royals' developing pitchers. Each one that came up fizzled out. Yordano Ventura and Danny Duffy are two examples of pitches who outperformed expectations in both of their first full seasons as regular starters in the MLB.
The Royals can either chase another pitcher in free agency or rely on 21-year-old Brandon Finnegan to be a quality back-
The last aspect is that Shields wouldn't fit in the realm of the Royals' salary cap. While this fantasy-world Royals run might compel them to expand their budget, there are several other holes that need to be filled besides its starting pitching. In the event of Nori Aoki's departure, Kansas City will have to add another outfielder. The team also may lose designated hitter Billy Butler.
Shields did more than what was asked of him in his time as a Royal, but instead of paying for past performance, the right thing to do is to part with him.

Big 12 Power Rankings: K-State rises to top spot

On Saturday the Big 12 had just three conference games, leaving four teams on bye and little shakeup in this week's power rankings. The only significant change was at the top.
While TCU had an impressive offense outing Saturday scoring 82 points, the Horned Frogs moved down in the rankings one spot, dethroned by the undefeated Kansas State Wildcats. Bill Snyder's squad handled the Longhorns on its home turf and put them in prime position to claim the Big 12 title.

Giants, Royals ready for wild World Series finish
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Madison Bumgarner barely broke a smile walking around the San Francisco Giants' clubhouse late Sunday night following a brilliant pitching performance that has his team one win from another World Series title.
After the way this October has played out, who can blame him?
The Giants will try to close out the Royals and claim their third championship in five years Tuesday night when this wild-card series shifts back to baseball's most unlikely postseason destination: Kansas City.
"We know it's not over until you get that fourth game. These guys aren't going to change," said Giants manager Bruce Bochy, whose club leads the best-of-seven series 3-2.
Perhaps it's only fitting this Fall Classic ends at Kauffman Stadium, a place hosting playoff baseball for the first time in 29 years. The Royals started this pulsating postseason with a 9-8 comeback win in 12 innings over Oakland in the AL wild-card game, which began on the last day of September and ended near midnight.
That captivating night in Kansas City set the stage for a month to remember: tight games and dramatic finishes, favorites falling and underdogs overachieving, stars slipping and new ones shining.
What happens next is anybody's guess. After all, the last time Game 6 of the Fall Classic came to Kansas City, one of the most surreal scenes in baseball history unfolded: first base umpire Don Denkinger's botched call serving as the signature moment of the 1985 World Series won by the Royals over St. Louis.
"We know we can do it," Royals first baseman Eric
The majors' most notable names during the regular season — Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw and Angels slugger Mike Trout — flamed out fast in the Division Series. A trio of Cy Young winners didn't do enough for Detroit. Injuries slowed down former triple crown winner Miguel Cabrera and Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright.
Even playoff-proven starter Jon Lester looked lost under October's bright lights for the one-and-done Athletics, and up-and-coming starter Stephen Strasburg showed he still has to polish his post-season poise for the Nationals.
Instead, these playoffs bred a new batch of baseball darlings: Lorenzo Cain and the running Royals, starter-turned-reliever Yusmeiro Petit and a pair of blazing bullpens that no longer overlooked in the World Series.
Of course, no star has burned brighter than a 25-year-old lefty from North Carolina teammates call "MadBum."
Bumgarner's winning performances in Game 1 and Game 5 — not to mention in every previous round of the playoffs — has put San Francisco one win away from for another parade down Market Street, something Willie Mays, Barry Bonds and generations of Giants fans had dreamed of for so long.
Now it's becoming an every-other-year tradition.
"It's not going to be easy at all," Giants first baseman Brandon Belt said. "It matters that we know that, and
I think everybody on this team knows that. We're going to go out there and we're not going to let up. We can't, because if we do they're going to take advantage of it."
Royals rookie Brandon Finnegan might understand the topsy-turvy nature of these playoffs better than anyone.
+
Only four months after he pitched in the College World Series, the 21-year-old reliever got two key outs in the seventh inning to help Kansas City win Game 3. A night later, Finnegan failed to bridge the gap to the back end of the bullpen, allowing five runs in Kansas City's 11-4 loss to San Francisco.
"Baseball can pick you up quickly." Finnegan said, "and hit you in the gut quickly." Sometimes longer and harder than others.
The Giants' latest improbable postseason run was propelled by the longest game in playoff history, a 2-1 win in 18 innings over the Nationals in Game 2 of the NL Division Series. Travis Ishikawa, a journeyman and first baseman converted to a left fielder in San Francisco, hit a three-run shot off St. Louis' Michael Wacha in the Game 5 clincher of the NL Championship Series.
It was the first homer to send the Giants to the World Series since perhaps the most famous drive in baseball history — Bobby Thomson's "Shot Heard 'Round the World" in a 1951 playoff against the Dodgers.
The showings in this fall will surely earn some a big payday come winter. Royals right-hander James Shields and San Francisco's slugging third baseman Pablo Sandoval are among those headed for free agency.
For now those transactions are on hold. One, maybe two, of the season's biggest games await.
"The place is going to be absolutely crazy," Royals manager Ned Yost said.

Sporting Kansas City's Dominic Dwyer tries to get past Jamison Olave (left) and Dax McCarty of the New York Red Bulls in Sunday's game.
With play as lacking as it was in the first 80 minutes of a game that determined seeding in the Eastern Conference, the empty stands were more than warranted.

He also solidified his spot as the winner for the Golden Boot with the most goals in the 2014 season

In the 15th minute, Sporting KC defender Aurelien Collin went all-in on Wright-Phillips after he handled a well-touched ball from New York midfielder Eric Alexander, but he didn't contest well enough. Wright-Phillips snuck his way past Collin and his right-footed shot was sent past diving goalkeeper Eric Kronberg.
The second goal came on an error in the backline. As Collin controlled the ball just inside the box, Wright-Phillips chased him down from behind, took control and made a few dribbles across the box, then chopped another one past Kronberg to put New York on top 2-0 in the 70th minute.

COMMENTARY Depleted Sporting KC team limps into playoffs
By Christian Hardy
@HardyNFL
As Sporting Kansas City dropped to the No. 5 seed with a loss to the New York Red Bulls on Sunday, one thing was clear to defender and team captain Matt Besler: this year isn't the same as any other.
The team is in the playoffs for the fourth consecutive year. Peter Vermes is still the coach. The core group headed by Besler and midfielder Graham Zusi is in tact. But if you look around Sporting Kansas City, there are only scattering resemblances to last year's team, which won the MLS Cup.
"Every year is different," Besler said. "Last year, we were in first the whole year, we came into the playoffs with some momentum. It's going to be a different year, a different challenge, but I'm still confident."
Sporting KC isn't coming into the playoffs on a fourgame win streak or as a No.2 seed like last season. Three of the 11 players who started in last season's championship
— goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen defender Chance Myers and midfielder Oriol Rosell — won't be on the pitch for Kansas City on Thursday.
Above all else, Sporting Kansas City is running on a nearly empty tank. Defender Igor Juliao, goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum and midfielder Benny Feilhaber are all sidelined with minor injuries and aren't a shoe-in to play on Thursday. Besler picked up a nasty thigh contusion in a game with the national team on Oct. 14, and returned for the first time on Sunday.
After last night's game, Zusi,
defender Aurelien Collin,
Besler and several others were
in the training room getting
treatment, spending time in
cold and hot tubs trying to
prepare their bodies for the
short turnaround on Thursday.
With CONCACAF Champions League (CCL) group play coinciding with the end of the MLS regular season, the team went from playing a match every week to every three or four days. Thursday will mark Sporting KC's fourth match in 12 days. The players simply don't seem to have a lot more to give, and a team can't make up for fatigue when numerous starters are sidelined with injuries.
"We're a team that has something to overcome," Vermes said. "We're tired in a lot of different ways. When you look at some of the many guys that have been injured — guys who've had to play way too many minutes where they were fatigued — it's taken its toll."
While the team is missing pieces from last year's championship team, there's no doubt this Kansas City team has the talent on the roster to repeat its championship efforts. But Kansas City has been on a free fall over the last couple of weeks. On Oct. 10, after a 2-0 win against the Chicago Fire, Kansas City was only three points behind D.C. United for

Fans gather in Allen Fieldhouse to celebrate the Fieldhouse's 60th anniversary. Among those who spoke at the event were former KU basketball coaches Roy Williams and Larry Brown.
CELEBRATING 60
Coaches reveal faAllen Fieldhouse
BLAIR SHEADE
@realblairsheady
Allen Fieldhouse celebrated its 60th anniversary on Monday by bringing back the four living coaches who have made an impact on the Kansas basketball program. ESPN college basketball analyst Jay Bilas was the Master of Ceremonies and introduced every player and the coach they played for. Isaac Stallworth introduced Ted Owens, Michael Piper introduced Larry Brown, Scott Pollard introduced Roy Williams and Tyrel Reed introduced Bill Self. The three and a half-hour event highlighted the greatest moments in the history of Allen Fieldhouse, as well as the greatest moments from each of the four coaches.
TED OWENS (1964-1983)
Owens said he was offered the job 50 years ago by then-Athletic Director Wade Stinson. His original contract was a $10,000, one-year contract that would come to last for over 20 years. His first victory in Allen Fieldhouse was against New Mexico while his greatest team was the 1971 Final Four team, which helped the NCAA by breaking the color-barrier with the likes of one of the all-time greats — Jojo White.
Owens concluded by saying he missed the students, walking through the tunnel leading up to the court and teaching the players.
LARRY BROWN (1983-1988) Brown said he had been everywhere, and Kansas was still the best place to coach and go to school. Brown relived his days as a Kansas coach, speaking about his first recruiting class in which played Danny Manning, in Brown's opinion one of the best college basketball players of all time. Brown said Manning was a special player who helped get the Kansas team to the 1988 National Championship and later the title. It was that year that helped him become the coach he is today. Brown left saying he owed his successful coaching career to having coached at Kansas.
ROY WILLIAMS (1988-2003) With tears in his eyes, Roy Williams took the podium. Speaking about when he first got his job with UNC, Williams explained how he wouldn't wear the Tar Heel tie because of his loyalty to Kansas. Williams still wears his Kansas sticker when watching KU games, most notably during the national championship when Kansas defeated North Carolina, despite getting "chewed out."
Of all his moments at Kansas, one stood out the most for Williams — the senior night for Scott Pollard and Jacque Vaughn, during which students threw thousands of roses onto the floor in appreciation. Williams said the photo of that memory still hangs in his office at North Carolina. Williams thanked the fans for allowing him to be come back. "Go KU," Williams said. The Fieldhouse erupted.
BILL SELF (2003-PRESENT) Following Williams, Bill Self finally took the stage. Self spoke about his time as a freshman at Oklahoma State in 1982 when he scored 12 points in the Fieldhouse. When he arrived at Kansas as a coach, Bilas and Dick Vitale said he couldn't repeat what Roy Williams had accomplished at Kansas. Self called his father, who explained he could stay in Illinois if he wasn't ready to make the move to Kansas. Self said he took up his father's challenge and accepted the Kansas coaching job. Self said the best moment of his career was Thomas Robinson's block on Phil Pressey of Mizzou, which led to Kansas winning the final border showdown within Allen Fieldhouse.

Pierson fine after resting during bye week
STELLA LIANG
@stelly_liang
One of Kansas' biggest offensive weapons should be available to play against Baylor on Saturday.
Piterson, who left the game against Texas Tech after two plays with an upper-neck injury, is rested and practicing again, interim head coach Clint Bowen said in the weekly Big 12 media teleconference.
Pierson has lined up as both a wide receiver and running back this season; recently, he has taken more snaps in the backfield.
"We had him checked out thoroughly." Bowen said. "He's fine. He's back to practicing. There shouldn't be any issues."
pierson is averaging 22 rushing yards and 27 receiving yards per game, which has dropped a little because of his departure from the last game.
RECRUITING GOALS
Since taking over as head coach, Bowen said his biggest
"If they choose to jump on board because they want to be a part of Kansas football regardless of who the head coach is, then we'll take those commitments, and we'll continue to try to pursue those commitments," Bowen said.
He said he has kept in communication with them and made visits this past weekend. This doesn't mean Bowen has shied away from recruiting new players.
recruiting objective is keeping the 14 players who committed before the coaching change.
He said there are players, especially local ones, who can make an impact regardless of who the coach will be next year.
NEW RESPONSIBILITIES Bowen knew the role of head coach came with many new tasks, but he was surprised by just how many there were. He has all of his defensive coordinator duties, but now he has to figure out how to balance the rest of his obligations.
"Honestly, I thought at the time my plate was pretty full
NEW RESPONSIBILITIES
being the DC," Bowen joked.
BAYLOR'S CREATIVE OFFENSE Kansas' next opponent, Baylor, goes into the matchup in a position it has not faced this season: coming off a loss.
Baylor is averaging 49 points and 579 offensive yards per game. Up until its 27-41 loss to West Virginia on Oct. 18, the offense was rolling over opponents.
RAYLOR'S CREATIVE OFFENSE
The loss has Art Briles, Baylor's head coach, looking at the smaller picture, he said in the teleconference. Instead of looking at the season as a whole, he has a taken a game-by-game approach, and first up is Kansas.
Bowen praised the Bears and the consistent level of play they have had under Briles.
"Truly, they have one of the most creative offenses, challenging offenses in college football," Bowen said. "It shows up every year with them being in the top of the nation in offense and scoring."

Replant Mount Oread project launches first fall planting event on Halloween
AMBER VANDEGRIFT
@AmberVandegrift
KU Center for Sustainability and the KU Tree Advisory Board will host a tree planting event Friday as a part of the Replant Mount Oread project.
The event is called Trick or Trees, and it is the first fall event for Replant Mount Oread. Students and volunteers will be planting nine new trees between Marvin and Lindley halls. The Center for Sustainability
needs $5,000 to cover the cost of the trees, and it is asking for donations online through KU Endowment.
Director of the Center for Sustainability Jeff Severin said more trees need to be planted because between 80 and 90 trees on campus are cut down each year due to storm damage, disease or simply because the trees may be at the end of their natural lives. He said Trick or Trees is a good way to plant trees and involve students in the process.
"Students will have an
opportunity to come out, pick up a shovel and actually do the planting themselves." Severin said.
Victor Zaharopoulos, a student representative on the KU Tree Advisory Board, said he will be at Trick or Trees on Friday, along with about 30 other volunteers. He said when there are a lot of volunteers at events like Trick or Trees, people get energized about planting trees on campus.
If we can drum up that energy for these types of things, we can keep this
going for years down the road," Zaharopoulos said. "I'm a senior. I'm going to be leaving KU soon, but I'm hoping these types of things can continue to go on."
trees on campus because the University budget only allows for the planting of about 50 trees a year. He said the Center for Sustainability raises donations to cover the cost of projects like Trick or Trees, so it will have funds if something unexpected happens, like having to remove a tree from campus.

Severin said there is a need for extra funding for
Zaharopoulos said the cost of planting trees is worth it because of the oxygen they provide and the beauty they give to campus.
"The goal is really to raise enough money with each project to cover the cost of that effort, so that we can use those additional funds to address some of the other needs throughout the year."
Severin said.
give to compare "Trees are one of the few investments that actually appreciate in value over time," Zaharopoulos said. "It costs a lot to put these trees in, it's several thousand dollars, but over time they grow larger, they start giving back more."

Spencer Museum of Art is holding an event called "Vita Activa, Vita Contemplativa" tonight at 6 p.m. It hopes to help students relieve stress with relaxation yoga, chances to tour the museum, play games like Twister and even talk with the Writing Center.

Celka Straughn, the director of Academic Programs at the Spencer Museum, worked with the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center, the Writing Center, Student Senate and the Spencer Student Advisory Board to plan this event to help students learn ways to relieve stress and have fun.

Vita Activa, Vita Contemplativa is free for students and only happens once a year. It was held last year for the first time.
it really is going to have some proactive stress reduction, a chance to have fun, you should come with friends, but also the Writing Center can help you get work done," Straughn said. "It's a really good study break. About this time of year is when everyone is needing it."
One of these ways will be a simple yoga routine. Ben Saathoff, assistant director of fitness and wellness at Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center, said the routine will be something students can do anywhere.
Another option available for students who attend is to meet with the Writing Center. Associate Director of the Writing Center Katie Elliott said the Writing Center will be answering questions, running a small writing activity and holding flash consultations.
"Students should come to learn how breathing can decrease stress and increase energy." Saathoff said.
With these five- to 10-minute flash consultations, the Writing Center hopes to help students learn about the services it offers, Elliott said. She said students can bring writing or research questions to the table they'll have set up, or even brainstorm for upcoming projects with Elliott or one of her consultants.
One of these consultants, Mikey Shaw, a senior from Shawnee and lead undergraduate consultant at the Writing Center, said he believes there are a lot of misconceptions about the
Writing Center.

CARE coordinator to provide support
ROCHELLE VALVERDE
@RochelleVerde
I am so grateful for the opportunities that have given me the chance to grow as a person and a business. I have been an integral part of our family and community, and I am proud of my role in supporting them both. I believe that every child has the potential to make a positive impact on the world. I will continue to work hard and be proud of my achievements.
In a new job created at the University, longtime victim's advocate Sarah Jane Russell will provide support for sexual assault victims as a Campus Assistance, Resource and Education (CARE) coordinator. Russell described the job as coming full-circle. She said she was raped by an acquaintance when she was a KU student in 1972. The attack led her to pursue a career in victim advocacy and support. Russell was the executive director of the GaDuGi SafeCenter in Lawrence from 1987-2013. This week, she started as the CARE coordinator at the Emily Taylor Center for Women and Gender Equity. Russell was interviewed by Rochelle Valverde for the Kansan. Following are excerpts from the interview:
explained by the acronym. The intent is not to duplicate any services that already exist. The intent is to find the way, using campus assistance, resource and education. So, the way I explained it in my head is that it would be a bridge builder. Perhaps working to extend services to students in ways that haven't happened before. Those are yet to be defined, but I think a bridge builder is a good way to think about it
Sarah Jane Russell began her job as the new CARE coordinator at the Emily Taylor Center for Women and Gender Equity last week.

builder, what are some of the resources you're hoping to connect?
SJR: Well, certainly all the community resources: GaDuGi SafeCenter, Willow Domestic Violence Center, Student Affairs, the IOA office, office of the District Attorney and the KU Public Safety Office. I was interested to read this weekend that Haskell Indian Nations University is trying to figure out how Title IX looks on their campus.
Kansan: When you say bridge
IX looks on their campus. So certainly reaching out to Haskell.
Kansan: What did you study in college?
[Also] just being in the community. My hope is that I can come to residence halls, sometimes at 10 at night, just to say hello and let people know that I'm there. I don't see this as a behind the desk, 8-to-5 job. But certainly, there are already 24/7 services being offered by community agencies that have strong ties to the University. Both GaDuGi and Willow receive Student Senate funding.
SJR: I had this undergraduate degree in speech communications and human
relations, which at the time I remember people sort of laughing at that degree. That was a real serious degree. We had 24-hour lockdowns where as a group of students we stayed together for 24 hours and it was almost like a marathon support group. We learned to facilitate groups and we just learned about working with people. Being one of those people that needed working with, experiencing both sides of that, I think was probably the best foundation I could have received. Then I have

Advisory Board will also have an opportunity for attendees to make stress balls out of balloons and flour, Straughn said. As an opportunity for students to take a study break, there will also be a super-sized game of Twister in the central court of the museum.
Finally, the museum will be offering a chance for students to tour the galleries with a guide or individually. Experiencing all the art can be beneficial, Straughn said.

JCCC bus stop move yields little change
New JO bus stop
Old JO bus stop
LAUREN METZLER
@MetzlerLauren
The Johnson County Transit, or the JO, in collaboration with KU on Wheels and Lawrence Transit, moved the K-10 Connector bus stop from the Islamic Center lawn on 19th Street and Naismith Drive to Irving Hill Road and Naismith Drive near Allen Fieldhouse.
The K-10 Connector is the most popular bus route for the JO and runs between Lawrence and Johnson County. The change was made Oct. 6, and so far, there has been no real difference in ridership for the K-10 Connector, said Shawn Strate, transit planner for the JO.
There have been no complaints on the University's end.
"We haven't gotten any feedback at all," said Danny Kaiser, assistant director of KU Parking and Transit. "Usually that tells me that things are going fine."
"There hasn't been a lot of feedback," Strate said. "That's been kind of unique. Usually when we make a change, we get a lot of positive or negative feedback, and there hasn't been too much."
There were also traffic problems with the old stop. Cars would back up behind the bus on Naismith Drive when it would stop to let people in and out.
Kaiser wanted to make a change because he noticed the previous stop required students to take the Park and Ride bus to reach their final destination. These were not the only problems with the stop.
Sarah Sahin, an administrative assistant in the department of film and media studies, is taking calculus at Johnson County Community College and rides the bus there. Last year, she had to take the Park and Ride route, as well as the K-10 Connector to get to Johnson County.
"It probably added about 15 minutes to get near campus," Sahin said. "It's much more convenient to have a stop on this side of campus."
"There were no amenities there at all." Kaiser said. "It was picking people up right off of the grass, and it was private property."
To accommodate the 50-foot JO buses, the curbs around Naismith Drive had to be pulled back so drivers could
make turns in that area without the possibility of hitting oncoming traffic, Kaiser said.
"This was a relatively easy project, easy to plan, easy decisions to make," Kaiser said. "I love it when a plan comes together."
Kaiser suggested the change to the assistant director of Johnson County Transit in a conversation last year. The University undertook construction last summer to implement this plan.
"They felt and we felt that being able to relocate that stop would be best for the riders, best for traffic and really, best for our operations in general," Strate said.
For the JO, the process of changing the route has taken about six weeks. They needed a few weeks to time the routes and ensure efficiency, as well as a two week public comment period for riders to give feedback, Strate said.
"At this point, we're in an evaluation phase," Strate said. "And then, at the end of that phase, which will be here in a couple of weeks, we'll be able to look back and see how well it's gone in the first month."

this has got to change. So, I was in the right place at the right time.
I was also in the wrong place at the wrong time because I'm a victim of rape. It was a perfect storm. My assault happened and then all of a sudden there was this opportunity to become involved. That's where I began, as a student, facing the very realness of an assault in a climate where there was hardly any support and really hardly any recognition that rape really did happen with people who knew each other. That was the situation, it was an acquaintance. So we had all of this information beginning about what stranger rape was, but certainly not in the sense of acquaintance rape. We were classmates. So that was the beginning.
Kansan: What are some of the biggest needs you hope to address at KU?
SJR: I think I want to play a role in addressing the culture and the climate of the University. I think to not have an honest discussion that there is a rape culture that exists here and on every campus would be an immature discussion. It has to be discussed in a respectful and mature way by all of us. If I can play a role in bridging that discussion then that would be good work. Certainly, not something that I would ever imagine that I would do on my own.
What I've heard so far is that there is a lot of caring from students, administrators, faculty and staff. I think what happened is that federal laws caught up with us, as it's catching up with every university and college. Now here we are, in an everchanging moment and we just have to figure out how to get
us all caught up. I think those hard discussions have to be bad. We've had them before, we had them in the '70s. This is, in many ways, history repeating itself, just now we have different kinds of laws that we have to adhere to.
Kansan: What is the most difficult element of crisis support?
SIR: I don't know that I would use the word difficult. When I think of this, I think it is affecting when another person experiences trauma. It is a place where you simply stand in your willingness to hear the truth. Sometimes that truth for another person is really hard to listen to. The inclination is to jump in and fix it or say, "How could this happen?" with some kind of indignation. But the real truth is it's that person's story and probably the most honorable and respectful thing you can do is to fully listen and
then walk with that person through that trauma. The commitment begins with being willing to be a witness to that truth and being willing to walk with that person for as long as they want you to. Sometimes that's a lifetime and sometimes it's an hour.
to be present as they're telling you about what happened to them. You're not judging it, you're just listening. It isn't listening to fix it, because in the case of rape and sexual assault, it doesn't get fixed. Somehow you hope it smooths out, but it doesn't ever really get fixed. That doesn't mean you're not a whole person, it just means something happened to you that changed you. Now you have to figure out who you are in the midst of that change.

There's a quote that says,
"Listening to the truth of someone's life is a privilege and an honor." I don't know that that's always difficult, walking in full humanness; you're present and you want that other person

BringBackOurGirls is more than just a hashtag
M more than 200 young Nigerian
Nigerian women were ripped away from their school in Chibok by an Islamist militant group called Boko Haram in April. Boko Haram, which translates to "western education is forbidden," is a Jihadist group that terrorizes Nigeria through "bombings, assassinations and now abductions," with the goal of replacing the current government with an Islamist state, according to the BBC News.
BringBackOurGirls. Celebrities and public figures, like Michelle Obama, promoted the online movement. However, within a few weeks and with no word on the status of the girls, the trend headed toward an uneasy end. People became less worried about the outcome of the kidnapping as reports on the revolts in the Ukraine and the military coup in Thailand took center stage. The kidnapping stayed in the background as the World Cup captivated millions of soccer fans, and the tensions between Palestine and Israel escalated. And then, at the beginning of this month, the issue came to the forefront again as the Nigerian government and Boko Haram entered into a truce for a ceasefire and the return of 219
The news of kidnappings resulted in a Twitterstorm that spread through every social media platform. Concerned citizens of industrialized nations would condemn the actions of Boko Haram by promoting the hashtag

Women are repressed in many ways all over the world. More than 125 million women in Africa and the Middle East still suffer from genital mutilation, typically done in violation of a child, according to the World Health Organization. The vast majority of domestic violence and sexual assault cases involve women being the victims. In other countries, women cannot receive proper education without the fear of being kidnapped, or in Malala Yousafzai's case, being shot by the Taliban.
Of course, any type of oppression against women is important. The University has its
own problems with rape culture in greek life (and the campus in general), which should not be ignored until it is eradicated completely. But anyone who is passionate about achieving equality of all genders must think about, and become more aware of, anti-feminist societies and cultures around the world.
We cannot simply use a hashtag to fix the ills facing women less privileged than us, but we must show we care about international current events long after they are considered "current." How would Americans react if someone tried to deny women education in the U.S. today? There would be public outcry that would live long past the two-week mark. It was, after all, less than a century ago that
women were given the right to vote in the U.S. a country founded on "equality."
Women here and in other industrialized nations have recently started to enjoy the same rights and privileges as men. So why don't Americans care as much about women's rights in other countries as much as we care about Ebola (which is not a threat to the U.S.)? There's still a lot of work to be done, and one way to start is by reminding the government of Nigeria that we still demand justice for these girls.

Campus needs to invest in timely sexual violence preventive measures
I work as a desk assistant in one of the residence halls and when I heard there was going to be a sexual violence forum at each of the residence halls, I took the opportunity to sit in. The forum consisted of representatives from various organizations or departments on campus, like legal services, the psychology department, the Ambler Student Fitness Recreation Center, the Counseling and Psychological Services, and the Emily Taylor Center for Women and Gender Equity. Each group told the residents what resources were available to them in the case that they were a victim of, or witness to, sexual violence. What struck me as an issue was that these representatives were providing the resources that could help someone after the crime has already been committed — not resources or ideas to help prevent the crime.
Action has already been taken by the University to begin the process of improving preventative measures. Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little, as she said in her campus-wide email, has created a "sexual assault task force" with various goals working toward preventing sexual violence on campus. Along with the chancellor's task force, the English department, in a letter addressed to the KU community, announced implantation of sexual violence awareness in the English curriculum. The department said this is best done through teaching and research.
By Gabe Sprague @SpragueGabe
The task force and the changing of the
curriculum are effective ways to start combatting this pervasive deadly culture of sexual assault. However, these ways of confronting the issue take time, while this issue is current. I would suggest a quick fix, such as increasing the budget for SafeRide and SafeBus, evaluating Greek life and culture on campus, and an attempt at introducing feminism (which is not just for females) and sexual violence awareness into the English curriculum within the next year.
In a letter to the editor from Jenny Erice, the director of SafeRide/SafeBus, she voices her concerns about not having the funding, and thus the number of workers needed, to provide an "unselective, speedy taxi service." I am not suggesting a permanent increase in funding for SafeRide/SafeBus, but with no current extrapreventative measures, a funding increase could be a temporary solution. Currently, there are only between three and eight SafeRide cars servicing more than 30,000 students every evening. An increase in the budget to allow for more vehicles and drivers could be one temporary solution to this large issue.
Greek culture needs to be evaluated as soon as possible. In an opinion special to CNN, John Foubert, author of "The Men's and Women's Programs: Ending Rape Through Peer Education," states, "fraternity members are 300% more likely to rape."
With the University's recent suspension of Kappa Sigma due to sexual assault, greek life deserves some scrutiny. Whether this means a complete overhaul of greek life's position within the University or a change coming from within greek life, a solution should be considered by the University or representatives of greek organizations.
The amount of time it would take to train staff on providing adequate first-response support and effective discussion surrounding sexual assault is not something I claim to know. But unless this new curriculum is implemented soon, there will be not be a swift change in culture. I would like to see an update of how the English department is going to go about doing this as timely as they can.
The University is taking action to prevent sexual violence on campus, but the solutions provided are not going to change this culture quickly enough. However, it is also not only the University's duty to prevent sexual violence, but the students as well. All of us can help, by starting these uncomfortable conversations, by confronting someone about their own views and by educating others about the needs for gender equality. Let's all work toward removing this fear and making our campus safe for everyone.
Veer away from photo editing applications
By Madeline Umali
@madelineumali
While aimlessly scrolling through Instagram, you may notice some of the photos on your timeline look pixelated, filtered or fake. With the endless amount of photo-editing applications, people have an easy way to enhance their appearance. From making whiter teeth, tanner skin and even skinnier body parts, anyone with a phone or computer can change his or her entire look with just a few clicks.
It feels like less than a year ago that photo-sharing applications and websites required just a few easy steps: take a photo, maybe add a filter and share. It was a simple process that took little time. However, it appears that nowadays people spend their time glued to their phones editing photos before posting them online. The once simple process has turned into a multi-step procedure that includes several photo-editing applications.
Gabe Sprague is a junior from Concordia studying English
Applications like Perfect365 have transformed the editing process. It allows users to remove blemishes, whiten their teeth and even add makeup to any photo. It makes me wonder how different the actual person would look in a face-to-face encounter. When people use several
editing techniques to enhance their photos, are we really seeing the real person? I don't think so. Edited photos are giving your followers a false perception of the real you. It seems that editing one's photos are now the norm; it may be because of people's favorite celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Miranda Kerr and Beyonce all getting into the Photoshop trend. However, many of these celebrities have received major backlash for editing their Instagram photos to make themselves look thinner. This is not only setting a bad example to the public, but also tells fans that even though these celebrities are practically flawless, it is still not good enough. They are influencing their fans to think that no matter how beautiful you are, you could still have improvements.
When it comes to posting photos on social media, I think it is time we step away from Photoshop, Perfect365, and any other editing applications. I am not opposed to editing out a minor blemish, but I do not think it is OK for people to be totally manipulating a photo. We don't have to have a great tan, white teeth or stick-thin arms to be able to post a photo. It makes the photo, and the user, lose integrity. Instead of worrying what filter to use or how to make yourself look thinner in a photo, spend time doing something less superficial.

Tree to be planted in memory of student
By Friday afternoon, a Black Hills spruce tree will sit just outside of Marvin Hall and stand tall above the surrounding landscape. The tree will be a reminder of a student lost almost a year ago who spent most of his time in that very hall.
MARIA SANCHEZ
@MariaSanchezKU
2013 graduate student Gianfranco Villagomez-Saldana passed away in early December of last year. As part of the Replant Mount Oread event, he will be memorialized with this tree, which his family chose.
After Villagomez-Saldana's death, his family wanted him to be remembered, and in January, International Student Services reached out to KU Endowment about possible projects. Replant Mount Oread, which will renovate the landscape by Marvin Hall this fall, struck a chord with Chuck Olcese, director of International Student Services. Olcese said the location worked out perfectly considering Villagomez-Saldana was an industrial design student and Marvin Hall is the architecture and design hall.
"His family specifically wanted something close to where he spent a lot of time," Olcese said. "It was a real good match."
To raise the $1,000 needed for the memorial Black Hills spruce tree, ISS connected with students who knew Villagomez-Saldana and encouraged them to reach out to people they knew for donations. After graduation, ISS received a message from KU Endowment that they had reached
"I didn't know if wed be able to get that or not." Olcsee said. "But, it was amazingly simple, we just put out the word and let it go."
2013 University alum Jessica Fertig, from Colombia, donated to a Facebook fund for Villagomez-Saldana and his family, but did not donate to the tree fund that began shortly after his death. It was around this time Fertig said she had been hit hard by the loss of her friend.
Through this past year, Olcese said he was most impressed with the diverse community effort in honor of Villagomez-Saldana. Not only international students, but design and Latin American studies students also were involved in raising funds.
their goal.
"His loss was so tragic and shocking to me that I removed myself, especially after the memorial." Fertig said.
"That was what was really special about him," Olcese said. "He had touched so many people."
Fertig had met Villagomez-Saldana through the design department. They connected through speaking Spanish and
"I think that will bring him joy and that will make him feel very proud. He will probably have a smile or laugh of gratitude."
JESSICA FERTIG
Friend of Gianfranco
Villagomez-Saldana
immediately became friends.
"He was one of those people that everyone really liked him, genuinely," Fertig said. "He always had a smile on his face."
Although Fertig may not have been involved with the tree fund, she said Villagomez-Saldana is very deserving of a memorial. For Fertig, the tree is not just a memorial, but also a celebration of life.
"Everyone pitched in and showed how big of a heart he had," Fertig said. "It's good to be able to have something there not only to remember his life but also to highlight how loved he was."
Speaking of his humble nature, Fertig said Villagomez-Saldana would see the Black Hills spruce tree outside of Marvin Hall and smile the smile he was known for.
"I think that will bring him joy and that will make him feel very proud," Fertig said. "He will probably have a smile or laugh of gratitude."
Fertig said although this memorial is for Villagomez-Saldana, it has a greater reach. The community he was such a large part of made it possible for a memorial like this to exist.
"It is about that collaboration, that community aspect of people meeting in a place at KU and creating such a great friend and family connection," Fertig said.
Because Villagomez-Saldana's family lives in Peru, they will not see the tree planted in his memory, but plan to visit the site in December. Olcese said the design department will host a ceremony for the memorial and the family.

THE DAILY DEBATE
Who is the midseason favorite to win the Super Bowl?
By Christian Hardy
@HardyNFL
"DENVER BRONCOS"
As the Denver Broncos get set to take on the New England Patriots in the next installment of the Peyton Manning vs. Tom Brady bowl, it's worth remembering who the Super Bowl XLIX favorites are. It's the Manning-led Broncos, and it's not close.
At this time last year, there were questions for the Broncos. Questions regarding their offensive line — especially the pass blocking, and the defense that was ranked as one of the worst in the league. The Broncos could outgun teams with Manning under-center, but they weren't physical on either side of the ball.
Broncos General Manager John Elway has made certain that last year's 43-8 Super Bowl debacle at the hands of the Seahawks wouldn't happen again. Elway stacked talented players like canned goods before a winter storm. Now, not only do the Broncos have the most potent offense in the league; they boast a top-tier defense, too. Elway snatched Aqib Talib out of Bill Belichick's hands in New England. Per ProFootballFocus, Talib is graded as the 16th cover cornerback in the league.
Paired with Chris Harris Jr., who sits at No. 1, that's a recipe for man-to-man, which allows the downright terrifying Broncos' front seven to get into blitz packages.
Oh, and speaking of that front seven, it's probably worth mentioning the Broncos signed seven-time Pro Bowler and two-time NFL sack leader Demarcus Ware this offseason. Suddenly, the Broncos are averaging 3.3 sacks per game, third in the league. It's important to give credit, also, to Von Miller, who is playing out of his mind with nine sacks in seven games — second-most in the NFL. Miller watched half of the Broncos' 2014 season in street clothes as he was out due to a drug suspension, then an injury. This year, he's raised the Blue and Orange to an entirely new level.
one Broncos are allowing the second-fewest yards per pass attempt and 243 passing yards per game; both numbers are down from last season. That vaunted front seven leads the league yards allowed per rushing attempt (3.4) and rush yards allowed per game (72.4). Overall, the team is graded as the third best defense in the league by PFF.
Of course, you can't talk about the Broncos without touching on how seemingly unstoppable this offense is. The team that broke the NFL record for most points in a season seems even more complete this season. Demaryius Thomas is a freak of
nature, Emmanuel Sanders brings the ability to stretch the field, Wes Welker can get under the defense and Julius Thomas mismatches almost every defender who comes his way. And there's a five-time MVP throwing the pigskin to these guys. The Cowboys are going to make a good run out of the NFC, but, on paper, the Dallas defense isn't ready for what Manning and this offense will bring. So much of the Cowboys' season — probably too much for Jerry Jones' own good at his age
— rides on the legs of NFL leading-rusher DeMarco Murray and the back of Tony Romo, quite literally. It's hard to find flaws among this Broncos team that is, without a doubt, the most balanced team in the NFL right now, on both sides of the football. I'd be shocked if Peyton Manning isn't raising his second Lombardi trophy and cementing his spot as one of the greatest quarterbacks of all-time come February.

"DALLAS COWBOYS"
If I said Dallas was going to win the Super Bowl at the beginning of this season, people would have called me crazy. No doubt people will still call me crazy, but Dallas has shown that it has what it takes to be a serious Super Bowl contender this season.
After losing all four preseason games and its season opener game against San Francisco, it appeared Dallas was shaping up to be no more than mediocre, just like it has been for the past several years. But the Cowboys' momentum started to shift after they defeated the Tennessee Titans and the St. Louis Rams on the road, and returned to defeat the Saints and the Texans at home.To
prove these wins weren't just a fluke, they took down defending champion Seattle in their own stadium.
That would be like ICO beating Kansas in Allen Fieldhouse. Despite an overtime loss against the Redskins at home Monday, Dallas has everything going its way. They have a healthy offensive line that has proven unstoppable. DeMarco Murray broke an NFL record when he recorded seven straight 100-yard games. He currently leads the NFL with 1,048 rushing yards and is tied with Arian Foster with seven touchdowns, the most by a single player this season. Teamed with Dez Bryant and Jason Witten, the Dallas Cowboys present an extremely versatile pass/run offense that has been very hard to defend this season. Tony Romo has stayed healthy thus far, something that has been a challenge in years past. He left Monday's game briefly because of his back injury, but returned moments later.
The second half of the season will be tougher than the first as the Cowboys take on Philadelphia in Dallas on Thanksgiving, followed by the Bears on the road and then the Eagles again in Philly. They wrap up their season against Indianapolis, which has proven itself a force to be reckoned with, and finally a road rematch against the Redskins. Of course, Dallas has a reputation for being the least clutch team in the NFL and losing in the last minute, so there is still plenty of time for the team to crumble. But there is something different about this year's Cowboys. They remind me of the Kansas City Royals. At the beginning of the season, no one expected them to amount to much, but now they are playing in the World Series. As long as Dallas keeps its offensive line healthy and its momentum going, it will continue to pose a serious threat come postseason time.

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Yordano Ventura pitches in the top of the fifth inning of Game 6 of baseball's World Series Tuesday in Kansas City, Mo.
Royals shut out Giants 10-0,head to Game 7
GJ MELIA
@gjmelia
The Kansas City Royals defeated the San Francisco Giants 10-0 in Game 6 of the 2014 World Series Tuesday night to tie the series at three going into Wednesday's Game 7.
Kansas City exploded in the second inning for seven runs. Giants' starter Jake Peavy was replaced after giving up the first two runs of the inning by reliever Yusmeiro Petit, who came in with three runners still on base.
The Royals' Yordano Ventura began the game fiercely, getting the Giants' first three batters to strike, fly and pop out.
The Royals then batted in five more runs to take the commanding 7-0 lead.
With one out in the third
inning, Ventura walked three straight batters to load the bases. He was then able to get out of the inning thanks to a double play turned by shortstop Alcides Escobar.
Kansas City added two more runs in the third and fifth innings to extend the advantage to nine. RBI doubles by rightfielder Lorenzo Cain and Escobar scored second baseman Omar Infante in each inning.
In the seventh, Royals third basemin Mike Moustakas hit a solo home run off of Giants' reliever Hunter Strickland, which is Moustakas' fifth home run of the postseason and first of the World Series. It was the fifth home run allowed by Strickland of his seven 2014 postseason appearances.
Ventura pitched seven scoreless innings, allowing
only three hits. Kansas City relievers Jason Frasor and Tim Collins finished the game off for the Royals, preserving the shutout. The 10-0 win is the largest shutout in the World Series since Kansas City beat St. Louis 11-0 in Game 7 in 1985.
The game is scheduled to start at 7:07 (CST). With a win, the Giants will clinch their third World Series Championship in five years, winning in 2010 and 2012. If the Royals win, it will be their second championship overall and first since 1985.
The pitching matchup in Game 7 will be the same as Game 3, with Giants' starter Tim Hudson and Royals' starter Jeremy Guthrie taking the mound.

SKC learns repeats are hard
Repeat. It's a word that is often muttered but rarely satisfied in sports circles.It's a word that hasn't even been whispered in Sporting Kansas City locker rooms prior to Thursday's opening round of Eastern Conference playoffs.
Sporting KC recognizes how grueling it is just to win a berth in the MLS Cup playoffs, but it also set certain expectations for themselves. One of those expectations was to return to the playoffs, and in 2014, it came through with the club's fourth consecutive playoff berth.
CHRISTIAN HARDY
@HardyNFL
In each of the past two seasons, only 60 percent of the playoff teams were returning teams from the previous season. In other words, two teams in each conference failed to return to the playoffs after winning a berth in the previous year.
"We were never worried," Sporting KC defender and captain Matt Besler said. "This year has been a long season, but the MLS season is tough. It's not easy to make the playoffs ... We've accomplished our main goal, and that is to get into the playoffs."
Sporting KC hasn't been one of those teams that was unsuccessful in earning a playoff spot since they won a No. 1 seed in 2011. However, 2014 posed the biggest threat to manager Peter Vermes' now four-season playoff streak. The team lost several pieces after making its run to the MLS Cup in 2013, and it still hasn't fully recovered after the blows it took following last season.
The 2012 MLS Goalkeeper of the Year, Jimmy Nielsen, retired from the MLS after winning the MLS Cup in December. In February, the team traded away forward Teal Bunbury to the New England Revolution for a 2015 pick. Defensive midfielder Uri
Success is measured by how the team fills the holes left by those players. By the start of the 2014 season, Sporting KC had traded a 2016 pick for goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum, the team's effort to replace Nielsen. The team brought in a hoist of midfielders; Jimmy Medranda in February, Toni Dovale in March, Jorge Claros and Martin Steuble in July, in an attempt to replace Rosell. The emergence of Dom Dwyer had already replaced the spot Bunbury left.
Rosell, who also started in the MLS Cup, was sold to Sporting Clube de Portugal in June. But that's business. Every offseason, every club has players leave.
That's when the injury bug bit manager Peter Vermes' squad, and it's a bug that still hasn't lost its grip.
In May, Kansas City's starting fullback Chance Myers ruptured his left Achilles tendon in a match against Toronto, which consequently forced him to miss the rest of the season. The team also lost Ike Opara, the team's top center back option behind Aurelien Collin and Matt Besler, to an ankle injury which required season-ending surgery in April.
Those two injuries, plus Besler and midfielder Graham Zusi's mid-summer departure to join the Men's National team in the World Cup from May to July, left the back line scrambling. Igor Juliao, a 20-year-old Brazilian defender on loan, picked up most of the minutes in Myers' departure, while homegrown defender Kevin Ellis contributed when the middle back needed a gap filled. Erik Palmer-Brown also contributed to the middle before he fractured a bone in his foot in September, forcing him to miss the rest of the season.
The void left by Rosell has yet to truly be filled in the defensive midfield. Though Benny Feilhaber hasn't done a terrible
job in his place, the lack of a real defensive midfield centerpiece has put more pressure on the lacking back line to perform. Shuffling goalkeepers between Gruenebaum, Eric Kronberg and Jon Kempin, didn't help, either.
Until Sunday, Vermes had never made injuries an excuse for his team. But after Feilhaber, Juliao and Gruenebaum — who has rightfully taken over the goalkeeping job — missed Sunday's loss due to minor injuries, he didn't shy away from talking about how difficult this season has been. His team is tired, it's beat up, and it needs a lot of rest.
"When you have as many guys out as we do, at some point you have to understand: You can't replace those guys," Vermes said after the 2-0 loss to the Red Bulls. "We don't have a full complement of our team. We're not playing a full complement of players. It's been that way for probably several months now, and it takes a toll."
All three players who missed Sunday's match are 50-50 for Thursday's rematch against New York, and any of the three on the field would be a massive boost for Kansas City. All three were at training Tuesday morning, though Feilhaber departed early.
Though the prospect of players missing games has shuffled things up and made things difficult to get back to the playoffs on the field, the players who are healthy enough have a brand new six-game season in front of them.
"At the end of the day, it really just comes down to us going out and doing it," Besler said. "You can rattle off all of the excuses. There's a lot of them. There's a lot of things this team has been through this year. I think we have a strong enough team to get through anything this year."

ESPN analysts have low expectations for Andrew Wiggins
W with the NBA season underway today. there has been a lot of buzz surrounding
the rookie class, which regarded as possibly the best class since the 2003-04 season, which featured LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony and Chris Bosh. However, for the first time in a while, the No.1 overall pick in the draft doesn't seem to be the one getting the most attention, or even any attention for that matter, as far as the conversation for Rookie of the Year is concerned.
By Scott Chasen
@SChasenKU
The first pick in the draft would seem like a logical place to start when discussing the potential winner of the NBA's Rookie of the Year award, considering three of the last six recipients of that honor were selected with the top pick, but Andrew Wiggins really hasn't gotten much credit at all. In fact, in a recent survey of 28 ESPN basketball "experts," the former Kansas standout received zero first place votes for the award. Instead, former Duke Blue Devil

Jabari Parker was selected as most likely to be named Rookie of the Year, racking up 22 votes, while Nerlens Noel, Julius Randle and Marcus Smart split the remaining six. This marked the first time since the 2007-08 season the top overall pick failed to get a single vote for Rookie of the Year from the ESPN panel, which was only the case because top pick Greg Oden was sidelined due to injury. Wiggins' teammate Thaddeus Young offered some explanation to why the former Jayhawk might not be facing those high expectations, in an interview with StarTribune.com.

Many media members seem to agree with Young's comments, at least for now. The ESPN Forecast panel, which features more than 215 media members who contribute to ESPN's basketball coverage, ranked Wiggins the 114th best player in the NBA, behind fellow
However, Wiggins' father, Mitchell Wiggins, offered a different perspective on why Wiggins might not be receiving the praise he deserves.

@jacksonshane3
Offensive coordinator John Reagan was brought in this year to completely change the Kansas offense. Reagan previously served as offensive coordinator for Rice for three years, one of which he led the Owls to their second-most successful offense in school history, compiling 5,556 yards.
When he came to Kansas he brought his own offensive scheme: the spread.
The spread has drastically taken over in today's age in college football. More and more teams are putting an emphasis on scoring and scoring quickly. Just this past weekend there were 19 scoring drives in the Big 12, and 13 of those scoring drives took less than two minutes and six in less than 60 seconds.
But from day one, Reagan has said his spread offense isn't dependent on going fast.
"It all depends on where we are as a team." Reagan said. "It's not going to do us any good to go fast if we are not good at that."
Oregon and Baylor model the success of running the spread, Baylor being Kansas' next opponent.
The Bears rank toward the top in the college football in nearly every offensive category. They are second in first downs per game (29.3), fifth in passing yards per completion (15.90) and seventh in passing offense with 349.9 yards per game. Baylor averages 49 points per game, the second most in the country behind TCU (50.4).
"You name it, they lead in nearly every statistical category," said interim head coach Clint Bowen. "They are always looking for a way to push the envelope offensively, but they recruit very well, and they know what they are doing."
Kansas has taken a bit longer than expected to adjust to this new offense. The Jayhawks currently average 16.6 points and 336.3 yards per contest. Though those numbers don't quite reflect the growth this offense has taken in the last month under Bowen.
But arguably the biggest difference these past few weeks has been the man under center, junior quarterback Michael Cummings. In Cummings' two starts, Kansas is averaging more than 20 points per game as they nearly knocked off then No.16 Oklahoma State and put up a fight against Texas Tech.
"With his ability to complete the deeper shots it has helped," Bowen said. "He has settled in as the QB that's running the offense. He's been through some ups and downs in the program, but he's a mentally tough guy."
This week could be a good indication of how well this Kansas offense has grown with Bowen and Cummings leading
the way as they match up with the nation's most fearsome attack.
"It becomes second nature to their players because they have been running the system for three or four years now," Bowen said.
It would be foolish to expect the Jayhawks to match this well-oiled machine shot for shot offensively. But perhaps the Jayhawks could utilize their tempo, or lack thereof, to keep the ball away from Baylor.
"You can be a tempo team and control the clock," Bowen said. "You just have to go in with your plan and match their urgency."
Regardless of the outcome, Saturday at the very least will be a chance to see where Kansas' spread offense stacks up with the rest of the country.
"We tell our players this is the type of game you came to Kansas play in," Bowen said.

COMMENTARY Allen Fieldhouse anniversary honors coaches
By Ben Felderstein
@Ben Felderstein
Monday night featured one of the most impressive non-basketball events Allen Fieldhouse has ever seen. Kansas' four living coaches reunited to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Allen Fieldhouse.
Throughout Kansas' long and storied history, they have had only eight head coaches. That is the fewest of any program that has been around for 100 years. In contrast, Kansas has reached the Final Four under six of those eight coaches, which is the highest number in the nation.
Four of these eight coaches — Ted Owens, Brown, Roy Williams and Bill Self — were in the fieldhouse to celebrate what it means to be a Jayhawk.
Since 1964, these are the only four men that have coached the Kansas Jayhawks basketball team. That's 50 seasons divided among only four men.
Current coach Self invited the other three to Lawrence to celebrate this special event. After Owens, Brown took the stage to address the crowd. Brown is known for having held numerous coaching positions in his storied career. To reiterate his love for Kansas, he repeated arguably his most famous words.
"There is no better place to coach, there is no better place to play, there is no better place to go to school," Brown said.
One of the most powerful moments of the evening was a story Roy Williams told. He explained in detail the day he had his interview for the North Carolina head coaching job. Williams told the crowd he showed up to the interview in a red and blue tie with a Jayhawk sticker on the bottom.
Fighting through the loud and thunderous applause from the crowd, Williams continued his story. At the interview, he was asked to take off his tie and replace it with a Carolina blue one, and he refused.
Williams said good players have always played at Kansas but it's the fans that make them great.
"I am absolutely thrilled to be here," Williams said. "I know that tonight is not about me, it's about this building, and all of you."
Williams returned to his seat after his speech to one of the loudest standing ovations of the night. He sat down as the camera caught him wiping tears out of the corners of his eyes. It was clear to the thousands of fans in attendance just how much Kansas meant to him.
Williams brought closure to 10 years of uncertainty. Last night he realized the Kansas fans appreciated him as much as he appreciated them.

FRIENDLY COMPETITION
Kansas coach cheers for son swimming at Missouri State
AMIE JUST
@Amie_Just
Not every day do you find a son competing against his father, but the rare occasion presented itself last weekend.
The Kansas swimming and diving team hosted Denver and Missouri State in a double dual meet. There were several people in the stands that day sporting Missouri State shirts paired with Kansas hats. Those people were the friends and family members of Clark and Canaan Campbell.
Clark is the head coach for Kansas and has held the position since 2003. He started his collegiate coaching career in 1992 as an assistant for the University, just four years before his son Canaan was born. Canaan, now 18, is a freshman and swims for Missouri State.
Kansas didn't competed against Missouri State for years, even though Clark said it was in the works for a little while. Once Canaan signed to swim for Missouri State, Clark
pushed the idea even harder.
"I had been talking to both Denver and Missouri State coaches about doing a meet like this," Clark said. "I just really worked hard on getting it done this year. Really after he committed last fall, about a year ago, I was working pretty hard to do this."
Canaan grew up in the Robinson Natatorium pool and started swimming when he was 5. He was happy to be back in Lawrence again and to swim in a familiar pool.
"I'm really hoping I can come back," Canaan said. "Maybe bring in another men's team, make it a bigger meet. Either way, I hope we can continue to do it because it's really fun."
For Clark, this meet was different for him. The two don't get to be at the same meets most of the time.
Clark's chance to see Canaan swim last weekend was in
"I was definitely more interested in the men's meet than I normally am," Clark said. "Getting to see him swim was really good."
limbo a few weeks ago.
Canaan fell victim to a common college illness — staph infection.
"I wasn't allowed to sweat for a week and a half, but I'm getting back in the swing of things," Canaan said. "I'm probably a lot harder on myself than I should be. It's nice to be back in the water racing again."
"it's just nice to have a dad that's knowledgeable in swimming,but he's not always there trying to coach me."
CANAAN CAMPBELL
Son of Kansas swimming and
diving coach Clark Campbell
Since Canaan was out of the water for two weeks, his performances were a little under where he could have been if he hadn't been sick. Despite that, things didn't turn
out too bad.
Canaan had two events on the first day of competition. He finished sixth in the 200-yard butterfly, finishing in a time of 1:58.63, five seconds shy of his career best 1:53.65. His 800-yard freestyle relay finished fifth. Canaan posted a 1:48.89 200-yard split to anchor the relay.
He had just one event the second day of the meet. Canaan finished sixth in the 200-yard backstroke with a time of 1:56.29, four seconds slower than his career best from two years ago.
"We'll see really great stuff at the end of the year from him," Clark said.
Even though Clark has coached swimming for Canaan's whole life, Clark hasn't been the one on the side of the pool for Canaan's practices.
"Ive never coached him," Clark said. "I'm still Dad."
Canaan is appreciative they can bond over their love of swimming, but recognizes the benefits of not having him as a
coach.
"It's just nice to have a dad that's knowledgeable in swimming, but he's not always there trying to coach me," Canaan said. "We can have separate conversations at home that don't deal with swimming, so that's really nice. It's nice if I need advice, I can go to him, but it's also nice that he's not always there around me. I think we have a better relationship that way, not always being around each other."
Clark looks at his son's accomplishments and is happy with the way things have turned out for him.
"As a parent, you're really proud," Clark said. "He's done a great job, not only in the pool, but in the classroom as well. The opportunity [of] swimming [in] college is really the end-all goal. Just watching him, there's a lot of pride. It's definitely a different deal when you're coaching and your kids are doing their thing. It's a lot of fun."

Kansas must control tempo to stop Baylor
@stelly_liang
I STELLA LIANG
KANSAS

Facing the Baylor offense can be a daunting task for defenses.
It is one that Kansas interim coach Clint Bowen, who is also the defensive coordinator, is neither shying away from or taking lightly.
Captain and linebacker Ben Heeney locks onto OSU's Otis Gates on Oct. 10. Heeney leads the team and the Big 12 with 12 tackles per game.
"You know, our emphasis every time we talk about it, as a defense you go out and you get a three-and-out," Bowen said. "You get stops. That's what you do on defense."
The Baylor Bears are averaging 49 points per game and lead the league in offensive categories such as total offense and first downs per game.
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
Bowen said stopping the Baylor offense will come down to controlling the tempo and the clock. If the Bears are moving fast, the defense can't fall behind.
"The bottom line is their players have to get back to the line of scrimmage, as well, to run the next play." Bowen said. "If their players are doing it quickly enough, you have to match their urgency and their tempo."
Turn to page 7 to see how Kansas is adjusting to its new spread offense
To score as many points as they do, the Bears have to score fast and often. They run
an average of 89 plays per game. Thirty-one out of their 50 scoring drives have taken less than two minutes and only three of them have taken five minutes or more.
"So you always have to be conscious of the clock and managing the game accordingly," Bowen said.
While most people think of Baylor as an up-tempo, passing offense, Bowen said it is really a grind-it-out, running team. Baylor leads the conference in rushing offense, 229 yards per game, and
rushing touchdowns, 21. That is where the Jayhawk defense will have the opportunity to disrupt Baylor's tempo.
"Within their [rushing offense], I think you can be a tempo team and control the clock." Bowen said.
Bowen thinks his team will have no problem matching how quickly Baylor transitions from play to play.
"I think we've developed a system that ... the tempo stuff hasn't really been an issue for us," Bowen said.
He wants the team to focus
on individual performances. If each player does what he is supposed to do on defense, the team performance will come.
"Every game it comes down to individual battles. This obviously is the greatest team game in the world, but every play comes down to winning a personal battle," Bowen said.
"If you're a corner, you've got to win your battle against the wideout; if you're a D-tackle, you're the nose, you've got to win your battle against the center."
The Baylor offense will challenge every aspect of the Kansas defense, from the line of scrimmage to the secondary, from the passing game to the rushing game. Bowen is far from intimidated.
"Obviously it's the kind of game that our players, we tell them all the time, you're Big 12 football players," Bowen said. "This is the kind of game you came to Kansas to play in."

Founder of Campus Ministries USA, Brother led, preached on Wescoe Beach Wednesday. Many students had strong reactions to his words.
A campus preacher's remarks inspired a variety of reactions on Wescoe beach on Wednesday. Students gave out free hugs, quoted Bible verses in rebuttal and handed out bingo cards based on typical confrontational preaching phrases.
BINGO
When Brother Jed, founder of Campus Ministries USA, began preaching on campus Wednesday, many students yelled back, while others chose to react differently.
About 2 p.m. Nathan Myers, a sophomore transfer student, originally from Texas, began distributing bingo cards with spaces including "Hell" and "My god is the right god." The idea of the cards was to use Brother Jed's phrases as a game.
"How can you show that it's silly to say you're going to hell?" Myers said, explaining why he created the Bingo card.
Myers said he found the idea on reddit and made it his own. When he saw Brother led preaching, he decided to distribute them.
"I was like, 'Oh man, I can use this," he said.
BIBLE
Nate Simon, a senior
from Andover studying microbiology, used Bible verses to counter the "gospel" Jed and others were preaching. Quoting the book of Matthew chapter seven, Simon said he condemned Jed's use of out-of-context scripture for his own gain.
"The judgment that is referenced at the beginning of the chapter is talking about condemning people to hell and how we cannot do that given our own state of mind and how we are sinners as well" he said.
Simon said he believed Jed's use of the Bible to preach against homosexuality, premarital sex and other practices he condemns is embarrassing.
"He speaks about Christ, but then he utilizes his own hatred next to that, and it hurts the gospel, to be honest," Simon said.
HUGS
Lillian Klebenow, a junior from St. Louis, printed off 15 sheets of paper that said, "FREE HUGS" and stood passed them out to members of the crowd.
"At a certain point, they're just giving them more attention, but the crowd is kind of unified, and anybody that yells something back, everyone will kind of cheer a little bit," she said.
"I'd rather not just stand there and yell if I can do something positive;" Klebenow said.
She said the crowd surrounding Jed was unified in its feeling toward his principles, gathering to yell back and question his ideas.
She encouraged people to counter Jed's opinions by going beyond standing in the crowd and occasionally yelling.
"I think it would be another step entirely to band together in an activist way: everybody has a sign, everybody's playing racist-weird-people bingo or people stage a bigger counter-protest," she said.
WHO IS BROTHER JED?
Brother Jed is a confrontational evangelist who travels to college campuses with his wife, Sister Cindy, and other members of Campus Ministries USA. Wednesday, the group consisted of the couple and another member, Sister Pat.
Holding a double-sided sign that read "Whore Whore Whore" on one side and "Be a ho no mo" on the other, Pat preached abstinence until marriage.
Amid dissent, the preachers remained calm but talked over student protests.
"If you're a virgin, you're fine," she said.
"Can't we approach this intellectually?" Jed asked when students yelled back at his teachings.
She encouraged students to repent and receive forgiveness and said if someone had told her the same thing when she was young, she would've

been a better mother, daughter and wife.
"God will forgive you. That's the reason he was crucified on that cross; to take your guilt, but you've got to accept the forgiveness," she said to about 10 students. "You're so haughty and high-minded that you won't accept God's forgiveness. That's the reason

Lawrence Royals fans mourn loss locally
DEREK SKILLETT
@derek_skillett
Liberty Hall was dark. A huge projector screen provided the source of much of the light in the auditorium. Crowds of people sat in front of the stage, cheering and booing with each play. An enthusiastic fan stood on his seat and tried to rally the crowd. This is what Game 7 of the 2014 World Series looked like to some fans in Lawrence.
Suddenly, the cheering stopped. The San Francisco Giants had defeated the Kansas City Royals in the final game of the World Series by a score of 3-2. Madison Bumgarner, the super-ace for the Giants, had just finished up a complete domination of Kansas City's batting order, striking out four Royals in the five scoreless innings that he pitched. The Royals played
Stewart and a group of her friends watched the game at Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts St. Stewart said she decided to watch the game at that location because it was a familiar place, as she had watched many different sporting events there before.
hard, but it wasn't enough. Jessica Stewart, a 2011 University graduate, has been a Royals fan for 23 years. She said seeing the Royals in the World Series was surreal.
Kolton Stimpert, a senior from Lodge, went to the game with Stewart. He said that he had been a Royals fan as long as he could remember.
"It's one of those things that you never thought could happen." Stimpert said of the Royals making an appearance in the World Series.
"I'm happy for them," Stewart said. "This is really exciting."
"We really love it." Lloyd said. "It has a friendly atmosphere."
Artman said that she was devastated after seeing the Royals lose the game, but she remained positive.
Whitney Artman and Alli Lloyd, both from Oskaloosa, decided to watch the game at The Sandbar.
"The Royals had a great season," Artman said. "They played their hearts out. It's been really fun to watch."
This was the first appearance in a World Series since 1985 for the Royals, where they defeated the St. Louis Cardinals in seven games. The San Francisco Giants have now won their third World Series in the past five years.

Senate committees hear multiple resolutions MIRANDA DAVIS @MirandaDavisUK
Admussen, a sophomore from Urbandale, Iowa, drafted the resolution after Student Body President Morgan Said heard about the amendment during a meeting with the regents school's student body presidents and the group collectively decided they didn't like the amendment. All Regents' schools are drafting and hearing similar resolutions about the policy.
"So this is a statute change the student body presidents caught last regents cycle, and we discussed it heavily all afternoon and decided it was something that we couldn't stand behind, even though our administrations do," Said, a senior from Kansas City, Missouri, said. "So hopefully [the resolution] will gain some traction and catch the attention of the Regents. I do think that our voices carry a lot of weight and I hope that proves to be true come the November regents meeting."
Wednesday night Student Senate committees heard several resolutions that passed committees and will go on to full senate next week.
If the resolution passes next week in senate it will be sent to the president of the Board of Regents as well as the University's representatives to the Board of Regents, Chancellor Bernadette Gray-little and Tim Caboni, Vice Chancellor

Currently, if a University's administration wants to change a student fee, they must conduct a non-binding referendum with the student body and take the results to the Board of Regents with the fee proposal.

University must report domestic violence
KELSIE JENNINGS
@kelcien
New requirements have been added to the Clery Act, which is a federal law that requires universities to put out an annual report of crimes that have happened on their campus or on any of their properties. The three new categories that were added this year were domestic violence, dating violence and stalking.
Even though the changes won't be official until July I of next year, universities across the U.S. are expected to make a "good faith effort" to putting the law into practice right now, said a press release from the U.S. Department of Education. This is required for all colleges and universities who participate in federal financial aid programs.
Statistics Act, was passed in 1991. Its purpose is to ensure safety on university campuses by making sure that students are well-informed of what's happening on their campus. It may seem straightforward, but Jane Tuttle, assistant vice provost of Student Affairs, said that the faculty has to go through a lot of training on how to comply with the law.
The Clery Act, officially called the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime
"If you see something, say something."
JANE TUTTLE Assistant vice provost of Student Affairs
"It's a complicated law, but (the intent is good), to make us all more aware and safer," she said.
Tuttle said that the University has already been following the new rules since last year, so reports of domestic violence, dating violence and stalking were included in their 2013 security report.
Last year, there were five reports of domestic violence on campus, and three reports in residential facilities. For dating violence, there were three reports that happened on campus and two that occurred in residential facilities. And there were four reports of stalking, both on campus and in residential facilities.
Tuttle thinks that these small changes to the Clery Act will add up to be something bigger in the long run, but said that it still takes action by people to make it happen.
"If we're going to change a culture, we all have to step up." Tuttle said.
She said that it's not just up to faculty or students, but everybody on campus working together to really make a cultural change happen. She encourages everyone to participate in "bystander education," which means that everyone is a witness and can speak up, even if they aren't a victim or formally involved.
"If you see something, say something. If you hear a sexist joke or a racist remark, say something just like, 'I don't want to hear that,'" she said.
"You don't have to go into a lecture, you don't have to put yourself in physical harm, but say something, 'This is unacceptable at the University of Kansas!'"
Kathy Rose-Mockry, executive director of the Emily Taylor Center for Women and Gender Equity, also said that students can help by simply speaking up and starting discussions with their friends and classmates about domestic violence and sexual assault. But if students want to get involved beyond talking,
they can volunteer at places like the Willow Domestic Violence Center.
"We are thrilled to have more people who are interested in helping as are many (volunteer) agencies," Rose-Mockry said. "They're always happy to work with new volunteers."
Rose-Mockry said that the new Clery Act mandates have not affected the Emily Taylor Center much, other than having to expand their reporting forms to include the new crime categories. She, like Tuttle, said that they've already been practicing bystander education for years and haven't had to change much.
Tuttle said that the Clery Act security report for 2014 must be out by Oct. 2015. The full report for 2013 can be read at www.ku.edu/safety.

SENATE FROM PAGE 1A
for Public Affairs.
"The rationale behind this amendment that will be proposed to KBOR next month is that a student referendum is unnecessary," Admussen said. "We disagree. When you're talking about student fees, when you're talking about money that every single student pays, the student voice is essential, and best communicated not just by a consultation with a few individuals, but with a referendum that gains the student perspective as a whole."
The resolution passed unanimously in the Rights and Finance committees.
ALCOHOL POLICIES
The other main resolution that passed this week would mandate that the Student Survey Board would have to survey students on whether they prefer a wet or dry campus.
The University currently has a dry campus policy, but makes exemptions every
year for specific events and tailgating. The resolution in question would not result in a policy change, or even Student Senate taking a collective stance on the issue, but would allow for the student body's input when it comes to alcohol policies at the University.
The presenters, Emma Halling a senior from Elkhart, Ind. and hold-over senator, and Chance Maginness, a freshman senator, said this is about understanding student perspective on the issue, which is something student representatives can then take into meetings with campus entities.
"We want students to really learn the behavior of interacting with senate on issues that they have opinions on and would like to see change on," Halling said. "So college students have opinions on alcohol, positive or negative, they have opinions about whether or not that should be available on their campus."

Bras Across the Kaw raises cancer awareness
PAIGE STINGLEY
@paigestingley
Dylan Fehl, a senior from Hutchinson, often crosses the Kansas River bridge when he runs. The bridge, Fehl said, is one of the best parts of his run because he loves looking out at the Kansas River underneath. But the river didn't catch his eye last Sunday. It was the bridge, which was covered with hundreds of decorated bras, all tied together and stretching across the length of the bridge on both sides of the road for Bras Across the Kaw.
MISSY MINEAR/KANSAN
More than 400 bras were hung up by Health Care Access Clinic for its Bras Across the Kaw event. The bras were hung up for National Breast Cancer Awareness month and will be taken down Friday after hanging since Oct.19.
Between 400-500 bras were donated for Bras Across the Kaw this year, an event by the Health Care Access clinic. They were hung up on Oct. 19 and will be taken down Friday. The annual event raises support for National Breast Cancer Awareness month. Students and residents are asked to donate new, gently used, or used bras to hang across the Kansas River.
The event has taken place for
the last several years. Before hanging the bras, residents participated in a two-mile walk around the city. There is no cost for registration, but a $10 donation is recommended. Elliot Johnson, the development coordinator at Health Care Access, said they mainly use the donations to provide breast exams at Health Care Access to women who don't have insurance or can't afford it.
"It's a great way to get the community involved and to work together as whole," Johnson said. "It raises awareness for not only the people that participate in the event, but for everyone who crosses drives, walks, or runs across the bridge as well."
After they are taken down, volunteers will sort through the bras and throw out the worn out and used ones. Of the remaining bras, some are donated but most are saved and will be used again next year.
"These bras have been strapped to the bridge for two
weeks straight. They've endured rain, sun and wind, so often times they are no longer in good enough condition to donate." Johnson said. "We save the ones we can so that next year we will have even more."
Fehl, Vice President of Student Union Activities, thinks it's a great message to the community.
"It really serves as a great purpose to raise awareness for these issues," Fehl said. "I think it's really important
that we stress our support as a community and hanging the bras across the bridge is really a great way to do that."

Irving Hill Road bridge to see improvements
RILEY MORTENSEN
@RileyMortensen
KU officials recently announced plans to make improvements to the Irving Hill Road bridge after complaints from students who utilize parking at the Lied Center. The Kansan sat down with Gavin Young, director of strategic affairs for the University to get the details on the upcoming project.
Where? Irving Hill Road bridge.
What? Current sidewalks on the Irving Hill Road bridge are being widened from five feet to eight feet. This will mean six feet of walking space when you take into account the three-foot-high concrete crash barriers that will be added on the roadside. Also, the current tube railings are 30 inches high and they will be replaced with a different type of fence that is 54-inches high. Then upgrades will be made to the streetlights so they are all LED, much like on Jayhawk Boulevard. This will make the lighting brighter.
When? As soon as the 23rd and Iowa street project is complete, which is scheduled to be open by Nov. 15 according to Megan Gilliland, communications manager for the City of Lawrence. The city asked KU not to begin their project until that intersection opens, Young said. KU also must receive approval from the Kansas Department of Transportation before construction begins. The project should take eight to 12 weeks to complete.
How is this going to affect traffic and the commute for students? If there are lane closures on the bridge, they will be intermittent and they will only occur during the day while construction is happening, so a flagman will handle them, but the bridge will never be closed to both lanes of traffic. It will always be open to at least one lane of traffic. The goal is for both lanes to be open as much as possible. The University has also asked for traffic under the
bridge between 15th and 19th on Iowa to be limited, but no more than one lane closed in either direction. Closures under the bridge will be ongoing and will vary according to the bridge construction schedule.
Why? Concerns were expressed by students who park
at the Lied Center lot about the height of the railings.
What about the new sign? There are plans to paint the girders of the bridge and the railings KU blue and then there may be some additional signage when the project is completed.

Apple's QuickType feature censors users
By Anrenee Reasor
@anreneer
In the past few months, I acquired my first iPhone, which was generously given to me by a friend. Before, I had a "non-smartphone" with limited features, but it did allow me to type and mistype anything I wanted. If I misspelled a word, it didn't stop me.
I downloaded the iOS 8 upgrade onto my iPhone recently, and as a result it added QuickType to my device. I thought this might be helpful
at first because I don't have to type out every character. Apple has made it so that I can complete longer words with only a few characters.
However, I had noticed QuickType will also coverty censor certain words. The Daily Beast brought it to our attention in 2013 that auto-correct would rectify words like "electrodialysis," but missspelling the word abortion would not be a mistake the phone would catch. Since the rollout of QuickType, this has only increased. Al-Jazeera pointed out that if users start
to type out certain words like "deflower," "homoerotic," "marijuana," "pornography" or "sucide" it will not suggest corrections or come up on the predictive text. If you don't believe me, whip out your phone and check.
Is this a problem? Should we be concerned? Yes. Although covert, this is a form of censorship and limits our choices. QuickType does not anticipate us to use these words, and therefore does not include them in its database, even though it should. These are legitimate words found in
the Oxford English Dictionary. While these words may not be used on a daily basis, the words should be available on QuickType — I shouldn't have to type them out.
It is not as if I am typing slurs, curse words or uncommon slang. The aforementioned words should be included in predictive text, but they are not. Around 14,000 words aren't included, such as "sheepshank," "Orwellian" and "Aesopian," but mainly because they are highly technical or rarely used, according to the Daily Beast.
I don't use autocorrect, much to my friends' dismay, but this addition of subversive censorship continues to detract me. When messaging others, I want a full range of choices. When QuickType does not suggest what I am looking for, does it think I will just forget it? No, I won't. Therefore, I will not be using QuickType anytime soon. Sry, frends.

Revealing Halloween costumes getting old
By Madeline Umali
@madelineurnali
Pumpkins lie on porches and tombstones are planted in front yards. Ghosts are hanging from trees while costume shops are flooded with eager customers. These signs show it is Halloween season.
Halloween is infamous for being the one holiday where
society tells women to dress as promiscuously as they want without judgment. As a result, women go out on Halloween night dressed in revealing costumes because they think it is judgment free — or is it?
The people who see women in these promiscuous outfits are probably still being judgmental. Your future employers will definitely judge those tagged pictures of you.
I think it is time we move away from Playboy bunnies, devils and school girl costumes. We should make Halloween a holiday that focuses on creativity. Costumes that require effort always end up being the hit of the party anyway. You should want a costume that is unique, not
one that shows off your chest, but is a well thought out costume.
Halloween was meant to be a fun holiday—a time filled with friends, family and candy. I don't think it was ever intended to be a day that women dress in latex catsuits with four-inch heels. It should not be about how hot your outfit is or how much
skin you're showing
The best costumes are the ones that can make people laugh, and if they're flattering, it is a double win.

ASSJAMZ hosts special Halloween event
ALEAH MILLINER
@alaaheileen
ASSJAMZ, a themed party in Lawrence, will feature former University students, dancing and Halloween treats at the Granada this year on Oct 31.
The popular dance party, hosted by DJs and former University students Cameron Birdsall from Overland Park and Jon Marzette from Lawrence, happens once a month in Lawrence. This month's Halloween themed party is expecting a growing crowd and will be at a bigger venue. There will be official #ASS-JAMZ merchandise available, including posters, T-shirts and shorts. The second edition of the Halloween party will be different than last year.
"We are going to play some old movies in the background, something spooky, there will be crazy lights, a fog machine and a photo booth," Birdsall said. "We will be playing a few Halloween songs and I'm even going to invite a few ghosts."
This year, Birdsall will dress up as Super Mario from the popular video game series. Marzette said he hasn't yet decided on his costume. All attendees are encouraged to wear a costume.
The duo have been performing together for two years and have put on about 25 events. Marzette's favorite music to play currently includes "Nae Nae" by We are Toonz and "Lifestyle" by Rich Gang.
"It really makes me feel a certain type of way," Marzette said. "I can't wait to incorporate that into all the oldies."
Marzette predicts a crowd of 1,000 people for Friday's show. With such a large number of people attending, a lot of risk is involved.
"There are so many people that tables start shaking," Marzette said. "With so many people, it gets hard to control, but we still love for people to go wild. The most dangerous risk is our DJ table falling over."
Birdsall said he feeds off the crowd's energy. "It's all about the crowd," he said. "Without
the crowd, I'm just playing tunes and messing around. With the crowd, they are giving me energy so I can give it back to them. The relationship between the performer and the crowd is symbiotic."
ASSJAMZ continues to see more and more people attend its events. The DJs are planning for the future and are talking about taking the show into other college towns, music festivals and possibly on tour.
"It has been really successful and I'm really appreciative," Marzette said. "I love when people tell me how good of a time they are having and that they look forward to [the event]."
Both Marzette and Birdsall
said they still feel nervous before each show. But after, they said the feeling is totally different.
Birdsall said the ending is always positive. "Even if I'm super tired, I'm always leaving with a smile on my face."
"During the show, everything is a blur," Marzette said. "Afterwards, I always check Twitter with the #ASSJAMZ hashtag. I really like the positive reinforcement. It's incredible."
The #ASSJAMZ Halloween party starts at 9 p.m. on Halloween. The cost is $7 for attendees under 21 and $5 for attendees over 21.
Haunted houses to visit before end of Halloween

@RyanWrightUDK
Halloween is finally here and haunted houses have been open for more than a month. Here are a few haunted houses in Kansas City you should check out before they close until next year.
THE BEAST
According to Full Moon Productions, the Beast is the largest haunted house in America. The attraction has run since 1991. The attraction has an open format that dares guests to find their way out in complete darkness without any instruction. Every 30 minutes, werewolves search the forest to find guests who haven't made their way out vet.
For the past three years, Libby Smith, a freshman from Leawood, has visited the Beast.
"Every year it has been a different experience, but I still love it," Smith said. "Definitely recommend for anyone this fall."
The Beast is located at 1401 W. 13th St., Kansas City, Mo. It will be open until Nov. 8 and opens at 7:30 p.m. Closing times are subject to change.
and the attraction closes any time between 11 p.m. and 1 a.m. Tickets start at $27. For more info visit www.kcbecast.com.
EDGE OF HELL
Edge of Hell is the oldest running Halloween attraction in America, open each year since 1975. Edge of Hell is a slide that focuses on phobias.
"The theme is timeless," Amber Bequeaith of Full Moon Productions said. "If you're a person of faith then you make a choice, to go to heaven or hell. If you walk on the edge [of hell], you see many different types of frightening things."
Tristan Coker, a freshman from Shawnee, said the experience was enjoyable because it was entirely new.
Edge of Hell is located at 1300 W. 12th St., Kansas City, Mo. It opens at 7:30 p.m. and closes any time between 11 p.m. and 1 a.m. Tickets start at $27. For more info visit
"I do get scared easily though, and I was on edge the entire way through the attraction," Coker said. "I had a death grip on my friends, and at some points I wouldn't even open my eyes, but it was still a great experience."

Symphony Orchestra hosts annual Halloween Concert
ALLISON CRIST
@AllisonCristUDK
Today marks the sixth annual KU Symphony Orchestra Halloween Concert at the Lied Center from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m.
The orchestra will perform a variety of pieces by composers, ranging from Igor Stravinsky to Johann Strauss, all while dressed up in costume.
Before the concert, there will be a costume contest beginning at 6:30 p.m. in the Lied Center lobby. The contest is free and open to the public with four categories. This year's sponsors include the KU School of Music, Kansas Public Radio, KU Bookstores and the Olivia Collection.
During the performance of the piece "Circus Polka," by
While the costume contest is a tradition for the Halloween Concert, there is something new this year as well.
The rest of the concert will utilize special effects such as lighting, comedic skits, decorations and more. There will even be special guests, including celebrity emcee Mark Edwards from Kansas Public Radio and a local high school mascot.
Stravinsky, children can bring their favorite stuffed animals and put them on stage for a "parade of the animals," according to Colby Snider, a second year master's student in percussion performance from Memphis, Tenn.
"This concert presents standard classical repertoire in a way that is really engaging and entertaining to the audience." Snider said.
David Neely, director of orchestral activities, said around 1,000 people turn out each year.
"Our normal symphony concerts have a solid, regular audience base." Neely said.
"This Halloween concert reaches not only that standard audience base, but also a group of people who might not normally come, like families with little kids."
Neely says this type of concert gives students an opportunity to have some Halloween fun while bringing attention to classical music.
"My favorite part of the concert is the overall atmosphere of the performance," Snider said. "It's very engaging and entertaining, so everyone in the audience and on stage has a ton of fun."
Tickets are $8 for adults and $6 for children, seniors and students. Tickets can be purchased at the Lied Center Ticket Office or lied.ku.edu. For more information, call (785) 864-3436.

Naomi Watts looks to comedy a lighter career
ASSOCIATED PRESS
HEMPSTEAD GARDENS, N.Y. — Dressed in an oversized night shirt, Naomi Watts moved stealthily across the darkened suburban house where she was shooting her new movie, stepping toward a couch where a teenage actor playing her son lay asleep.
In one swoop the actress leaned over, kissed the boy on the cheek, rested her head on his arm and gently stroked a clump of hair with a motion that also deftly moved it out of the sight line of the camera an act of soulfulness that also reminded that, at bottom, most moviemaking is just an elaborate game of Twister. As it flickered on monitors out in the garage and eerily lit the Long Island night, Watts' face evinced a mix of vulnerability and steadfastness.
It's an expression we've seen before from the actress in movies like "21 Grams" and "The Impossible," in which she played an embattled mother in hard-edged dramas. But Watts' role in this film _ a quirky dramatic comedy called "Demolition" from "Dallas Buyers Club" director Jean-Marc Vallee _ is a world away from "The Impossible" Indian tsunami. She plays a stoner employee of a vending-machine company who gets into a complicated relationship with Jake Gyllenhaal's at-loose-ends Wall Streeter.
Since breaking through as the enigmatic ingeneus in David Lynch's "Mulholland Drive" in 2001 (after nearly a decade of rejection and credits like "The Hunt for the Unicorn Killer"), Watts has been making very busy making dramas. A lot of dramas. So many dramas that it almost seemed like too much. Even to her.
So she decided to make a change. In Alejandro G. Inarritus's recently opened "Birdman," she's a Hollywood-turned-stage actress who provides a foil to pretentious on-screen partner Edward Norton. And in Noah Baumbach's Toronto International Film Festival premiere "While We're Young," which hits theaters next year, she's a documentary producer who finds refuge in the hip-hop aerobics of Amanda Seyfried's eager Millennial.
Mostly loopily, Watts plays Daka, a pregnant Eastern European stripper, in Ted Mellif's new movie "St. Vincent." It's a part she not only accents with exaggerated comedy, but seizes an opportunity even most veterans never get: giving
guff to Bill Murray.
"I was doing a lot of these roles, and I just started realizing how at the end of the day it's a lot to take home," Watts said from her trailer during a break in the "Demolition" shoot. "If you keep working like that, there's a buildup of darker things in your life. It has an effect on you."
She paused. "It's not bad doing a Russian girl who goes around and says whatever she feels like."
Actor career shifts can seem like champagne problems to those of us who don't make a living in front of the camera. But given the pigeonholing tendencies of modern Hollywood, it's a daunting obstacle for those who do, and perhaps an eye-opener for the rest of us. Watts' restlessness over her past phase and difficulties in embarking on a new one illustrate how red carpets and romances with Liev Schreiber are hardly immunizations against career complacency and frustration.
She won the funnier part, though, and wound up even doing some improv, particularly in scenes where she looks to get under the skin of Murray's curmudgeon. "I was going all out, and possibly too far at times," she told The Times at the Toronto International Film Festival. "But it was new territory and I just wanted to bust out. I felt like I'd been in chains, like I was a wild animal getting out of this cage."
In fact, when Watts, 46, was first sent the "St. Vincent" script she thought she was being considered for the part that went to Melissa McCarthy. "I mean, that was the Naomi part, so I just assumed that's what I'd be asked to do." That role, incidentally, is of an embattled single mother.
Watts added she "cringed a little" when she first saw the film. "Like, here are these two comedy greats and I'm the one bouncing off the walls," she said. Though the performance has divided some critics with its outrageousness, it's earned plenty of plaudits; the Times Betsy Sharkey called her "a hooot," as Watts shuffles in stilettos telling Murray why he's wrong or why she has it worse than him.
McCarthy, herself going against type in the film, said she finds herself befuddled by these industry distinctions. "People talk about comedy and dramas these separate things, and that's rarely accurate," she said. "I think I get my heart broken in every single comedy."

'Nightcrawler' film is a thrill ride
By Alex Lamb
@lambcannon
"Nightcrawler" crosses one line of morality after another as its dark thrills wind the film's crazed energy tighter and tighter, while Jake Gyllenhaal sells them to us hook, line and sinker with an unsettling sociopathic determination. This is the kind of thriller that's so original, uncompromising and thematically complex that it keeps viewers constantly on edge, grabbing hold of them with a can't-look-away grasp akin to seeing a brutal car accident or watching coverage of a tragedy on the news.
That grasp is applied both figuratively and literally, as "Nightcrawler" taps into society's perverse fascination with the carnage of crime and death from the perspective of a person who films those images for TV news, but who's a dangerous man himself.
Lou Bloom (Gyllenhaal) is a resourceful, savvy thief when we meet him, a shady character trying to make it by with an enterprising attitude and a fervent willingness to learn. Once he discovers the world of "nightcrawlers"—video journalists who race to the scenes of accidents or crimes to record and sell the footage to local Los Angeles news stations—he gets sucked into it completely.
It's a profession perfectly suited to his exploitative and disconnected personality, so he quickly excels at it—partially because he doesn't limit himself to any sort of ethical behavior. Much of the tension and twisted excitement of "Nightcrawler" comes from how Lou breaks the rules and begins shaping the news himself, from tampering with crime scenes for better shots to withholding information to lead a story in a more perilous direction.
Lou frequently spouts his personal philosophies of how to achieve his goals and how to be successful, which he's gathered from lessons and advice taken in from the Internet. Gyllenhaal's salesman-like delivery of these make him seem less human and more impersonal, as well as weirdly funny; he's unable to (or possibly just not interested in) connecting with other human beings. He's a sociopath of the most selfishly driven manner, and watching him dive down the rabbit hole of moral decay and come through thriving makes for an electrifying journey.
Lou treats his hapless and homeless assistant Rick (Riz Ahmed) terribly and tries to manipulate Nina (Rene Russo), the older news director at the TV station to whom he brings his stories, into a weird relationship with him. Lou's clearly not a good guy, feeding off the vulnerability of others, but Gyllenhaal is at his career-best giving a livewire performance that makes him seem both vampirically creepy but also charming. His crazy eyes show the hunger of someone who won't stop until he's got it all.
Nina offers a unique foil to Lou; after taking control of the newsroom, she pushes her station's boundaries on TV news violence. Russo's negotiations with Gyllenhaal are charged with shifting, riveting power dynamics. She personifies an engaging commentary of how local news shocks and frightens us every day with violent stories and proves humorous in her terse scare tactics with stories.
Writer and director Dan Gilroy's tight screenplay often looks as if it's about to deliriously run off the rails, but he amazingly manages
to keep it together. His direction of the high-speed chase sequences, cold-sweat-inducing suspense and chilling sense of unhinged morality only enhances the film's intensity. The late-night sprawl of L.A. is shot with dazzling cinematography that paints the things Lou films more with opportunity than tragedy, except for when we actually see his own gritty footage on the news.
Lou tearing through streets like a madman in his red Dodge Challenger, shot with
unflinching ferocity, makes the stomach drop more than any "Fast and the Furious" movie. The entire third act is brimming with incredibly satisfying craziness, the final chase being one of the best action sequences of the year.
Creepier than most scary movies and way more enthralling, "Nightcrawler" focuses on gruesome deaths, the horror of TV news and a loner's gripping descent into moral depravity.

Researchers work to bridge language gap among children
ALICIA GARZA
@AliciaoftheUDK
Researchers at the Juniper Gardens Children's Project looked at factors such as lower test and language scores among children before deciding to create a network of experts, researchers, funders and practitioners to carry out a nationwide study and bridge the word gap.
The Juniper Gardens Children's Project, a research office branch of the University located in Kansas City, Kan., has raised a half a million dollars in funding toward continuing a study that began in 1992. The study discovered a gap between the amount of language children from different income families were hearing, which created a significant difference between the vocabularies of
children.
In 1992, the researchers tracked children in all ranges of income from preschool into elementary school and studied how often they heard language in their home. Children who started school at a vocabulary disadvantage continued to have a disadvantage, the study found. Now, the experts are looking at the results to identify which areas need more research.
The mayor of Kansas City, Mo., and the mayor's chief of staff traveled with a researcher to Washington, D.C., three weeks ago, where the grant was announced at the White House. Many people are involved in the project, such as experts in fields like language intervention research and developmental psychology, teachers, parents, funders for home childhood
work and people who do home visiting interventions.
The study is focused on bringing cities and communities together to address the problem using innovative ideas that can be used by parents and childcare providers.
"Having met a lot of people who come from poorer backgrounds, finding what they need, and this research is very important, and very personal," said Griffin Hughes, a freshman from Denver.
Part of the research done was during the War on Poverty, which helped move the project along.
In the study, the vocabulary difference can be affected by income levels. Specifically, lower income families have a higher chance of having children with lower vocabulary skills.
Betty Hart, a former University researcher, and Todd Risley, senior scientist at Schiefelbusch Institute for Lifespan Studies at the University, started a research project involving children younger than preschool age. They noticed
During the War on Poverty,
The idea is that these are ways to kind of shore up and build the opportunities for children to hear more language in their homes."
DALE WALKER Associate research professor
some children were already falling behind in vocabulary compared to other students. After bringing light to this
trend, Hart and Risley received a grant to fund a study in which they tracked children for three years. They went into the children's homes, took notes and recorded everything people in the homes said to the kids. The study concluded that children who had more opportunities to interact with their parents and had more chances to practice language ended up with better vocabularies.
Some children heard as little as 600 words an hour, whereas other children heard as many as 3,000 words an hour. After finding this information, the researchers calculated what the children's language exposure would be like by the time they were 4 years old, and the results were astounding. According to Dale Walker, an associate research professor at the Juniper Gardens Project, they found a
gap as large as 30 million words between children's vocabulary.
Most of the children who had low exposure and fewer opportunities to hear language were the children from low-income families because they had fewer chances to learn and practice language.
"This is all related to what children are hearing in their earliest years," Walker said. "By the time they got to school, children were already behind. The idea is that these are ways to kind of shore up and build the opportunities for children to hear more language in their homes."

When Claire Sundermeyer opened a package from her dad in September, she was not ready for what she found inside. Instead of a typical care package parents send to their students, with food, money or clothes, her parents had sent her and her sister each a bottle of pepper spray. Now, she carries it with her every time she is out at night.
"He's a worrier," Sundermeyer said of her father, Joe. "So the second he heard about all of the sexual assaults on campus, he took every precautionary measure for us."
Sundermeyer is not the only one who's taken precautionary measures. Thirty-three respondents to an informal survey of 100 students on campus said
they bought pepper spray this semester. Others said they've made it a point to walk with others after hours, talk on the phone while walking home after dark, attend a self-defense class or look up self-defense moves on their own.
"I walk my girlfriend and her sister home every time we go out," said Alex Brennan, a sophomore from Shawnee. Brennan said he and his friends call BADD Duty or find rides home for other female students as well.
BADD Duty stands for Brothers Against Drunk Driving and is a service fraternities offer to students who need rides home and are unable to drive.
The impact of sexual assault has reached more than just students on campus. Joanna Campos, a sophomore from Liberal, is a student ambassador. She said while giving a tour of campus, she had a parent ask her about the sexual assault issues on campus. Campos directed them to a story in the paper that day. The family was happy to see it being reported, said Campos.
Student ambassadors, along with admissions representatives, are given talking points when parents and potential students ask about the sexual assault cases on campus. They are told not to discuss specific cases but to discuss how the University works with trained investigators and law enforcement.
An email sent to many supervisors, who passed the message along to their staff (including student ambassadors and admissions representatives), included a Campus Safety Message Triangle detailing what to tell visitors who ask about the cases.
The three main points discussed in the triangle are that "this is a national problem that requires community-wide action," a "robust process is in place
to investigate and respond to sexual assault," and the University's promise to individuals reporting sexual assault that the University won't discuss their case publicly without permission, according to the Campus Safety Message Triangle. Some of these points mention Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little's task force, the University asking the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights to provide recommendations for improvements and working with trained IOA investigators.
Chris Keary, assistant chief of police with the Public Safety Office, said parents call all the time, but wouldn't say they are receiving more calls due to the sexual assault issues.
"As part of those conversations, we talk about how we're proud of our student body for addressing this national issue," said Kress. "We also discuss safety on campus, such as that the University has its own trained police force. We also talk about how there is a robust process in place to investigate and address reports of sexual assault, and how KU has suspended and expelled students for violations."
Many other University offices reported the same findings - some parents have called but not many. Lisa Pinamonti Kress, director at the office of admissions,
Students who responded to the survey said they feel "somewhat" to "moderately safe" on campus, but had suggestions for improvements.
"We need more light sometimes so that other people can see you in case of abnormal situations," said Shannon Livengood, a senior from Clay Center. "I try
said they have had no more than 10 parents and prospective students ask about the sexual assault issue on campus.
to avoid walking home alone, or if I do, I talk on the phone with a friend... Make sure that you aren't alone if you don't have to be and that you're safe."
As for Sundermeyer, she said she feels relatively safe on campus.
"I feel fine on campus because it's well lit," said Sundermeyer. "But we could use more lighting or emergency blue poles, especially on Daisy Hill, because it's so dark walking there at night."
Still, she's glad to have the pepper spray in her purse. And her father's glad she's carrying it.
"Violence against women is a problem all over the country, all over the world really," Joe Sundermeyer said. "Fortunately, my daughters are strong, young women, and I hope they'll be smart and safe. But it's absolutely something every parent worries about."

Greek task force seeks community involvement
Jordan
DALTON KINGERY
@Daltonkingnews
The greek sexual assault task force will hold its second meeting of the semester on Monday. Although the time and location of the meeting is still undecided because of scheduling issues, the task force will build on the discussions of the first meeting and continue to develop their ideas for addressing sexual assault in the Greek community.
ANNA WENNER/KANSAN
The task force is encouraging all members of the greek community to attend the task force's meetings and be involved in the proceedings.
Members of the greek sexual assault task force, like Colin Thomas, will meet for the second time this semester on Monday.
"One of the most crucial elements of the task force is that it is open to any and every member of the greek community," said Maggie Young, president of the KU Panhellenic Association and a senior Chi Omega from Olathe. "If you care about this issue and if you are passionate about it, and you want to see and be a part of the change, you are more than welcome to come and be a part of it."
Young said that the meetings are not open to the public and that this decision was made because the task force is focusing on changing greek-specific issues and education, not those of the University as a whole.
"Sitting by idly and waiting for the storm to pass isn't an approach that we felt was responsible," said Morgan Said, student body president and a member of the task force. "We decided that the best way to combat this issue in our community was to do so in a student-to-student manner."
Although the task force is still in the process of developing and discussing ideas, one idea that has gained significant traction within the task force is to have each chapter in the University's greek community develop a position statement for their chapter regarding sexual assault, in addition to adhering to a framework of education and programming being developed by the task force.
Kevin Simpson, president of the Interfraternity Council,
emphasized the importance of allowing each chapter to develop their own plans and internally examine their handling of sexual assault education, noting that each chapter has a different culture and environment.
"We're going to develop a skeleton for how we feel chapters should craft their educational plan for sexual assault, but then we're really going to work with the chapters," said Simpson, a senior from Mission Hills. "We didn't want to just say 'here's how every single chapter has to do this,' because that's sort of a broad brush approach."
"Education on what exactly consent is, and education on how we can change the way our organizations are set up to help prevent sexual assault and protect our members, along with everyone else on campus," said Koppers, a senior from Leawood.
Nikki Koppers, director of public relations for the Panhellenic Association, said that the one of the end goals of the task force is education.
Will Nye, the director of public relations for the IFC
and a member of the task force, acknowledges that the formation of the task force may seem reactionary to some, but that it is in reality a progressive development that will address longstanding issues in the greek community.
"We don't want to make it seem better," said Nye, a junior from Dallas. "We want to make it better."
Nye added that the task force is an oversight body, not an enforcement body; the task force will decide what their standards are, and then it will be up to individual chapters to meet them.
Although the task force is still in the early stages of changing how things are done in the University's greek community, Said said that the support from within the greek community for the task force has been heartening for its members
"Seeing the strength and support in our community has been astounding, and it's nothing like I've seen here in my four years in the greek community," said Said.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
Lava has pushed through a fence marking a property boundary above the town of Pahoa on the Big Island of Hawaii. The river threatens to engulf its first home and continues to run through the rural Hawaii town.
Lava nearing first Hawaiian home, inching closer to road
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PAHOA, Hawaii — Rain fell Wednesday on a red-hot river of lava as it threatened to consume its first home on its slow advance into a rural Hawaiian town.
A breakout of the lava flow was about 100 feet from a Pahoa residence — about the length of a basketball court, said Hawaii County Civil Defense Director Darryl Oliveira. The couple that lives in the home has left.
Scientists from the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory who are walking alongside the lava reported its leading edge was 240 yards from Pahoa Village Road, which goes through a commercial hub of the Big Island's sprawling and isolated
Puna district.
"This is just a little quiet village is a very rural community. We farm, we fish, we hunt," said Jamila Dandini. "We're going to be an island on an island."
The leading edge remained in a large agricultural parcel that included another house, which was about 100 yards from the lava, Oliveira said.
Dozens of homes, business and other structures are in the area of the lava flow. That number could increase as the flow front widens.
"The people who are meant to stay will stay. The people that have to leave, sadly, will leave." Dandini said.
So far, lava has burned a garden shed, tires and some metal materials.
On Wednesday, it burned mostly vegetation, while the rain helped tamp down smoke from the crackling stream.
Officials are monitoring hazards from the smoke. Chemists from the observatory detected only low levels of sulfur dioxide, Oliveira said.
The lava flow emerged from a vent in June and until recently had been slowly weaving through uninhabited forest and pastureland.
"Never in my wildest dreams as a kid growing up did I think I would be running from lava." Denise Lagrimas said.
I don't want to stick around and just wait for it to come and take it," Denise Lagrimas said while taking a break from loading kitchen cups and bowls in cardboard boxes. "You just never know."
Erbin Gamurot, 48, a handyman, said Pele, the volcano goddess, just wants to visit her sister, Namakaokahai, the sea goddess.
The flow is expected to slither past properties across the street from Jeff and Denise Lagrimas' home as it works its way toward the ocean, about 6 miles away. The Lagrimases decided not to stay and see if the lava burned their home. They packed up to leave for a town 14 miles away.
"She gotta go see her sister. She gotta go say hi. You know how family are. It's all good," Gamuret said.
She said they decided to move to Kuristown because it's a safe distance away.
Flu shot clinic offered today
KELSI KIRWIN
@kansannews
Flu season has arrived which means it is time for vaccinations. Watkins Memorial Health Center is offering the last flu shot clinic Thursday from 1-5 p.m. Flu vaccinations will be given on a first come, first served basis and are covered by insurance if the student is enrolled and considered full-time.
In order to determine how many clinics will be held each year and where, the staff looks at the total number of students who attended in years past, as well has how many have attended clinics. This information also helps them decide how many doses of the vaccine to order.
Patty Quinlan, clinical outreach coordinator at Watkins, estimates the health center to have provided more than 2,000 vaccines by appointment, walk-in or one of the clinics around campus.
"We have had strong attendance at all of the clinics this year," Quinlan said. "We would love to see that increase."
The clinic offers two options for the vaccination: a nasal mist and an injection. Both vaccinations come with a price, but most insurance will cover the bill entirely. According to the health fee rate, the nasal mist is $40 and the injection is $30.
"The nasal mist is pain-free and really easy, so don't let a fear of needles prevent you from getting your vaccination," said Dr. Pavika Saripalli, a primary care physician at Watkins.
Influenza is an illness that can make an individual sick enough to miss school or
work for between three and seven days, said Quinlan. It can also increase a person's risk of contracting pneumonia, especially if the person is asthmatic or has other health risks. Therefore, receiving the vaccination is recommended to stay healthy throughout the semester.
"I've noticed over the years that the students who get the vaccination miss a lot less class and have a lower stress level," Saripalli said. "The good thing about getting it [the vaccination] is even if you do get the flu, it will be much more mild than other cases."
If price is a concern, the health center will bill the student's insurance company at any clinic location. Because of the Affordable Care Act, students should be able to receive flu shots and have the cost covered by their insurance. Even if students do not have insurance, the nurses and physicians at the health center will help them find a way to receive the vaccine without having to pay much.
"I've always encouraged people to come here [to Watkins] so we can help with the price." Saripalli said.
Getting the flu shot is usually not at the top of students' lists of things to do, but it is necessary to prevent contracting influenza or more serious illnesses. Kelsey Wilits, a freshman from Oskaloosa, said she would most likely be attending the clinic.
"I don't have time to get sick," Willits said. "With all the classes I'm taking, it's just smarter to get the flu shot than to get sick and miss class."

Latin American Studies class discusses zombies
MARK ARCE
@Mark_Arce13
Meaghan Palmer enrolled in LAA 300 because she needed a Latin American Studies course to help fulfill her minor. After enrolling, she learned the subject matter: zombies.
"My first reaction was 'OK, well here we go,' said Palmer, a senior from Lenexa studying human biology. "It could go interesting bad, or interesting good, but so far interesting good."
For the past 10 weeks, the students in the class titled "Life, Death and the Living Dead," have learned about several subjects including the origin of zombies. Now it moves into its second unit — Day of the Dead — which begins Oct.
31 and ends Nov. 1.
Day of the Dead, or Dia de los Muertos, is celebrated in Mexico and parts of the United States. The class has begun to look at the origins of the holiday and how it is celebrated in different places.
In various parts of Mexico, families have a ritual that involves going to a graveyard, cleaning a grave and putting out offerings for the souls of the departed and having a sort of vigil. There are also public parades and religious processions. In the United States, celebrations are typically focused in schools and in art galleries and less emphasis is put on the cemeteries.
"It becomes a way for ethnic Mexicans to present themselves," said Professor Peter
Haney has used Amy Wi-
Haney, the assistant director for the Center for Latin American and Caribbean studies. A recurring theme in the class is how concepts change as they are interpreted in different cultures.
"I didn't even know that the concept of the zombie came from Haiti."
GUS BOVA Senior from Lawrence
lentz's book "Farewell Voodoo:
A Letter from Haiti" to explore
the history of the zombie. According to Haney, the Haitian zombie was subservient to a master and may have served as an allegory for slavery. In movies like "Night of the Living Dead," the American version of the zombie changed.
"The zombie ceases to be the result of purposeful action," Haney said. "Something random creates a situation where either the dead return or an epidemic transforms people into soulless creatures, so that element of purposefulness is very important in Haitian context changes in American popular culture."
While the 26-person class has concluded the zombie section of the course and started the Day of the Dead unit, the student response so far has been positive.
"I didn't even know that the concept of the zombie came from Haiti," Gus Bova, a senior from Lawrence, said. "I had no idea, let alone how much it's changed, like how different the zombies in our movies are from the original Haitian."
"I think it's fun to have these preformed thoughts about something and then [have it] completely turned upside down," Palmer said.
"I hope they come away from the class knowing some stuff that they didn't know and I hope they come away from the class questioning some received wisdom." Haney said. "[I hope] that they come away from the class knowing how much more there is to know about all the things we're reading about and talking about and that they go away with the curiosity to find out more on their own and with some of the research that would enable them to do that."
Meaghan Palmer, a senior from Lenexa, also found it interesting to learn more about the history of zombies and noted the contrast between modern portrayals in popular culture such as "The Walking Dead" or "28 Days Later" and the original Haitian roots.
Challenging preconceived notions is part of what Haney

Royals lose to Giants in Game 7 of World Series
@gimelia
The San Francisco Giants defeated the Kansas City Royals to clinch the 2014 World Series, their third in five years.
IGJ MELIA
The Giants were the first team to win a Game 7 as a road team since the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1979.
San Francisco starter Tim Hudson answered with a shutout inning, himself. Hudson's 1 2/3 innings was the shortest outing by a starting pitcher since 1960.
The night began with a one-two-three inning for Royals' starter Jeremy Guthrie, capped off with a diving play by third basemen Mike Moustakas to get the final out.
In the second inning, the Giants loaded the bases on Guthrie and designated hitter Michael Morse hit a sacrifice fly to drive in third baseman Pablo Sandoval. Shortstop Brandon Crawford then hit another sacrifice fly to score rightfielder Hunter Pence to make it 2-0 Giants.
Kansas City answered in the bottom of the second with two runs of its own to tie the game. Leffieldier Alex Gordon drove in designated hitter Billy Butler from second. Second basemen Omar Infante returned the favored to Gordon, hitting a sacrifice fly to drive him in.
San Francisco's Hudson was replaced by former Royal and reliever Jeremy Affeldt in the second inning.
The Giants' Morse again delivered in the fourth inning for San Francisco, singling to right and driving in Sandoval from third to give the Giants a one-run lead.
Guthrie was replaced following Morse's RBI.
with the Royals bringing in reliever Kelvin Herera.
in the fifth inning, normal Giants star er Madison Bumgarner entered as a reliever. Bumgarner picked up wins in both Games 1 and 5.
Following 2 and 2/3 innings pitched by Herrera, Kansas City reliever Wade Davis replaced Herrera in the sixth.
Bumgarner pitched five scoreless innings to pick up his third win of the 2014 World Series. He was named World Series MVP.

Kansas volleyball celebrates a Tayler Soucie block against Texas Tech on Oct. 25. Kansas will face TCU on Saturday.
Kansas hopes to start winning streak in Texas
@Corte_UDK
After defeating Texas Tech in Lawrence this past Saturday, Kansas volleyball has another opportunity to climb back over .500 in the Big 12 for the first time this season.
MATT CORTE
One of TCU's four straight losses came against Kansas in lawrence, with the Jayhawks sweeping TCU 3-0 in a lopsided match.
The Jayhawks (16-6, 4-4) had their first chance at a winning Big 12 record when they played Iowa State on Oct. 22, but the team's loss in five sets pushed them once again to a losing Big 12 record.
Traveling down to Fort Worth to play the Horned Frogs should produce a different outcome, as the layhawks have somewhat struggled on the road in the Big 12 this season.
Now facing a struggling UCU squad (12-10, 2-6) that has lost its last four Big 12 matches, Kansas finally has a golden opportunity to climb over the hill once and for all.
If Kansas wants to prove the team is a true threat on the road, beating TCU would be a start, and the one way they can assure a win a is to block, block, and block some more.
Through eight league
games, Kansas has a 2-2 record in away matches, with the kicker being that one of those away wins came against the worst team in the Big 12, Baylor.
Kansas used a total team blocking effort to defeat a weaker opponent in Texas Tech last week, and if they carry over that solid blocking to TCU, defeating the Horned Frogs should be just as easy.
The reason for this is because TCU is absolutely atrocious when it comes to killing the ball. The team ranks last in the Big 12 in kills per set, averaging 12 compared to Kansas' 13.48, and the Jayhawks also boast the third best block total with
"You can talk about attacks and kills, but blocking is the most intimidating fundamental in the game," said coach Ray Bechard. "When you start blocking teams, you can really change the game."
What helps Kansas is the team's ability to kill the ball efficiently and TCU's inability to stop those kills.
The Jayhawks currently sit at third in the Big 12 conference with a .238 team hitting percentage per set, while TCU's .268 opponent team hitting percentage places them last in conference.
2. 71 per set
Sadly for TCU, the only category in which they're better than Kansas is in aces, and still the Jayhawks can counteract that because of the teams 15.09 digs per set average, good for third in the Big 12.
After facing TCU on Saturday, Kansas will then play two teams they've already beaten in Baylor and Texas Tech the following week.
Not getting too ahead of ourselves, if Kansas is able to beat TCU and then subsequently beat the next two foes, it's 7-4 Big 12 record would put the team right back in the race for second place.

According to junior forward Ashley Williams, the dissatisfaction of not winning the Big 12 Conference this season has made the women's soccer team even hungrier than before. Coming off a strong 2-1 victory against Iowa State last weekend, the Jayhawks look to prove themselves in their last regular season game against Oklahoma in Norman, Okla., on Friday.
"I think we are feeling good," Williams said. "We are ready to end this part of the Big 12 because obviously we got close, but we didn't win it all. I think we are anxious to show everyone what next week will be like, so we're just ready to play Oklahoma and set the bar with what we're hoping to do next week."

Jayhawks look to set bar for Big 12 tournament
The added incentive to a win against the Sooners this weekend is a second-place finish in the Big 12 should the Jayhawks pull off a victory.
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
The Sooners (8-7-3, 2-4-1), tallied eight shots against West Virginia last weekend and allowed 12 shots. Coach Mark Francis predicts Oklahoma will be a tough team to play, and Kansas will have to take advantage of every opportunity it's given.

"They're very athletic, they'll be hard to take down." Francis said. "We have to play our game. Be disciplined in some of the small, key moments of the game. We missed out on some finished last weekend that we should've nailed and we'll have to make those this weekend. We gave up a goal at the end when we lost that focus. Those small details at this point in the season can be crucial. We have to pay attention to those small things."
Ali Kimura heads the ball inside the goal box against Iowa State on Oct. 24. Kansas plays Oklahoma this weekend, a team that coach Mark Francis says is "very athletic" and "hard to take down."
Williams said any team in the Big 12 is guaranteed to be a challenge, and to sleep on

or take any opponent lightly would be a mistake.

"I'm looking forward to hopefully playing well," Francis said. "Going into the postseason next week coming off a good performance."
for what next week is going to be like. I feel like we still have something to prove. We have to play our game and play how we know how to play, and focus on one game at a time."
Francis said discipline and focus will be key to pulling out the win.
"We know that we need to come prepared and ready to play a good team," Williams said. "We have to set the bar

THE MORNING BREW
Marlins Man needs to tone it down a notch
By Alana Flinn
@Alana Flinn
At first, I thought the Marlins Man was a self-centered jerk who wanted his 15 minutes of fame. Then, after reading various articles and looking through his Twitter, I decided Marlins Man is exactly that. The only thing more obnoxious than wearing the wrong-colored jersey behind home plate during the World Series are Duke fans.
For those of you not following the World Series, Laurence Leavy, a full-time lawyer, sports enthusiast and attention monger, has been spotted in the front row of every World Series game wearing a Florida Marlins jersey. Hence the nickname: Marlins Man. While his atomic-orange-colored
jersey blends in at the Giants' stadium, he sticks out like a sore thumb among Royals' blue.
According to Marlins Man, the publicity is unintentional. In an article published by ESPN MLB, he said, "It's an accidental thing. It will be over in a week." However, I'm pretty sure anyone sitting behind home plate wearing the jersey of a team not playing in the World Series is seeking more publicity than the Kardashian sisters.
When Royals management took notice of Marlins Man in his jersey during Game 1, stadium officials asked him to cover up his jersey, according to an article published by the Kansas City Star. Management even offered him suite seats and World Series memorabilia to get him off camera. And how did Marlins Man respond? "No way," he said, according to the article.
And while I wouldn't give up my $8,000 dollar World Series seat either, I certainly would not show up in an orange jersey to a stadium which adorns itself in blue
If one was to offer any kind of defense of Leavy's behavior, he has said he has an incredible passion for sports and wouldn't give up his expensive World Series seats for anything. He also said he has worn this jersey at many sporting events before this, and he had never gained notoriety. In fact, he said the only reason he even wears orange is so his friends and family can spot him easily on TV.
Leavy even has his own Facebook page defending how he doesn't want all of the media attention. But he has put a party invite on his Facebook page, asking for everyone to reserve Saturday
THE BREW
on their calendars to celebrate his birthday. Oh, and not to mention the Twitter page with nearly 14,000 followers where he constantly shares photos of himself with his jersey on. Truly a humble guy just out to
enjoy an evening of baseball, right?
enjoy an evening of basketball. Right to his credit, Marlins Man did say in an ESPN MLB article, "I don't smoke, I don't drink, I don't do drugs. My addiction is sporting events." And you know what? Good for you, Marlins Man. But next time, keep your Marlins addiction to a minimum unless your team is actually in the World Series.

Kawinpakorn takes second at South Carolina tournament

first.
Kawinpakorn shot at 68 (-4) Tuesday, the final day of the tournament. The score of 68 tied her career-best at Kansas, and it was the third time she has shot a score in the 60s this season. She has also placed in the top five during three out of the five tournaments played this fall.
The women's golf team took fifth overall at the Palmetto Intercollegiate in Kiawah Island, S.C., this weekend in the team's last tournament of the fall. Junior Yupaporn Kawinpakorn placed second overall in the tournament with a three-round score of 213 (-3), which was one stroke more than the golfer who finished
"Mook [Kawinpakorn] had an outstanding tournament, and we are very proud
of her," Kansas coach Erin O'Neil said. "She has worked extremely hard on her game, and it's great to see that pay off."
Sophomore Pornvipa Sakdee tied for 20th with a score of 223 (+7). Senior Minami Levonowich tied for 46th with a score of 231 (+15). Senior Michelle Woods tied for 69th with a score of 236 (+20). Senior Gabrielle DiMarco tied for 87th with a score of 240
"Today was a rough day for us," O'Neil said. "We were struggling off the tee, which led to us making too many big numbers that we couldn't recover from in the end. It's never a good feeling to move down the leaderboard, especially on the final round."
(+24).
The team ended with a three-round score of 897 (+33). The team has placed in fifth or better in every tournament this fall.

Missing Broncos fan says he had 'fill of football'
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — A man whose disappearance during last week's Denver Broncos game touched off an extensive search by family and friends told police he had "his fill of football" and walked and hitchhiked about 130 miles to a city in southern Colorado.
Paul Kitterman, 53, was found safe Tuesday night in a parking lot in Pueblo after police got a tip that he was in the city. The construction worker looked tired and had trouble walking but a medical exam found him to be otherwise unharmed, Pueblo police Sgt. Franklin Ortega said.
Kitterman told police that he had not watched television in several days and was not aware that people were looking for him.
"He said he had his fill of football and that he likes to walk and wander, and he was looking for a warmer place," Ortega said.
The tip on Kitterman's whereabouts came from a friend's ex-wife, who reported picking him up at the Salvation
Army in Pueblo and dropping him off at a hotel, Ortega said. The sergeant didn't have other details about his connection to the woman.
He said police did not plan to file charges.
"He's a grown man. If that's what he wants to do, he can do it," Ortega said, adding that authorities put Kitterman up in a hotel until his family could pick him up.
Family and friends had been searching for Kitterman since he was last seen leaving his seat to meet friends at halftime of Thursday night's game against the San Diego Chargers at Sports Authority Field.
They filed a missing persons report with Denver police, scoured the sprawling stadium, called local hospitals and detox centers, and taped fliers around the city. Police had previously said they did not suspect foul play, and Kitterman's stepson noted that his stepfather did not have any known health or personal problems
The stepson, Jarod Tonneson, did not respond to a message left by The Associated Press.
On a Facebook page set up to help find Kitterman, his family said they understood many people had questions about what happened but asked for privacy.
"We love all of you and we will never forget your kindness, compassion and your willingness to help find Paul," they said.
Kitterman and Tonneson went to the game with two of their friends after a day spent working and hunting at another friend's ranch in Kremmling, a small town in the mountains of northern Colorado.
Kitterman and Tonneson hurriedly made the 100-mile trip to the stadium after a friend offered tickets. It was Kitterman's first time there, and in his haste, he forgot his cellphone and took no credit cards and very little cash, Tonneson said.
Kitterman had four or five beers in the course of a four-hour span not enough to become disoriented, his stepson said.

Jayhawks go to Texas looking for Bowen's first victory
STELLA LIANG
The Kansas football team (2-5, 0-4 Big 12) is rested and healthy after a bye week for this weekend's matchup against the No.12 Baylor Bears (6-1, 3-1). The offense started to click a few weeks ago. Tony Pierson plans to return after a minor injury. Could this be the week the duo of interim coach Clint Bowen and quarterback Michael Cummings earns its first victory?
@kanssports
"Obviously a combination of really good players, a really good scheme, and Art Briles has always been an innovative and creative guy when it comes to offense, and that continues," Bowen said.
Whether or not the Jayhawks emerge with the victory, playing the Bears will be a challenge.
The Baylor offense ranks first in the nation in total offense with 579 yards per game. Coached by Briles, Baylor is adept at gaining yards both
through the air (350) and on the ground (229), both of which are in the top 25 in the nation.
Led by quarterback Bryce Petty, Baylor averages 49 points per game. The team is in the midst of a school record of scoring in 94 straight games. All of this puts pressure on the Kansas defense. Junior safety Isaiah Johnson is not letting the high-octane offense scare him.
"They are just a great offense to prepare to," Johnson said.
"It's an opportunity for us to show what our defense is capable of. I'm ready for it."
The Jayhawks counter with an offense led by Cummings, a junior who took over as starter two games ago and has steadied the offense. In his last outing against Texas Tech, he threw for two touchdowns and ran for another, pacing the Jayhawks in what almost turned into a shootout.
"I think he's gotten in there a couple weeks now and he's truly settled in as the QB that's running the offense right now," Bowen said.
His most consistent target has been senior tight end Jimmy Mundine. Mundine does a little bit of everything, like running routes in the middle of the field, blocking and acting as a fullback.
Jimmay is a talented young man and a guy that can make some plays for us in a lot of different ways. ..." Bowen said. "When you have a guy with that versatility, you can move him around and use him quite a bit, it really helps."
This game in Waco poses some other difficulties for the Jayhawks. For one thing, Baylor is a tough team to beat at home. Baylor's 13-game home winning streak is the second longest in the country right now, with the last loss coming on Oct. 13, 2012.
one of those things that's much needed throughout a football season."
coming off its first loss of the season. The Bears have fallen into the middle of a tough conference race.
In the Big 12 media teleconference on Monday, Briles said he was a taking a game-by-game approach to the rest of the season and not taking Kansas lightly.
“[The Jayhawks] are very good. They are playing well," Briles said. "We have a lot of respect for Kansas."
The Jayhawks are facing a big challenge. They are going to try their best, though, to get Bowen a victory. Cummings said that is a big part of the team's motivation.
We all want to win for each other and we all want to win for coach Bowen," Cummings said. "We feel like he is a great leader and we want to win for him."
The Jayhawks are also in a unique position with Baylor

Cummings said when he was named the starter, he was ready, so he didn't use the bye week to get comfortable in his still new role. Instead, he said it was good for the team to just take a break.
"So I think this bye week was just a bonus for us to get mental rest, physical rest," Cummings said. "I think it's just

DANIEL HARMSEN
@UDK_Dan
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAN: Art Briles has a 50-33 record halfway through his seventh season in Waco, with 35 of those 50 wins coming over the last 46 games. Historically speaking, though, this is not a particularly successful football program. From 2002-2004, BU trudged to a 9-26 record, similar to Kansas' 9-39 record from 2010-2013. In a nutshell, what is it that Briles has done to turn this program around?
SHEIAN. When you talk college football, you have to talk recruiting and developing talent, and Art Briles is one of the best in the business. Contrary to the star-studded lineups playing at Texas or Oklahoma, Baylor only had three starters better than a three-star recruit out of high school on its Big 12 title team. Being a high school coaching legend, Briles has been able to find diamonds in the rough and coach them up, including such players as (quarterback) Bryce Petty (three-star), current Dallas Cowboys receiver Terence Williams (two-star) and All-Big 12 linebacker Bryce Hager (two-star).
KANSAN: When Robert Griffin III left Baylor after his 2011 senior season, that big gust of wind you heard was the Big 12 conference exhaling collectively. Little did we know Bryce Petty would leapfrog Griffin on many of the BU Career Record Charts and catapult this program to an even higher level. What makes Petty so good and is there a chance another
Heisman trophy is coming to the Brazos?
down linemen, two pure linebackers and a nickel back. At times, the team will go into a three-man rush and bring extra linebackers on to lock-up the middle of the field. The unquestioned leader of the defense is middle linebacker Bryce Hager, a former All-Big 12 pick. On the line, (defensive end) Shawn Oakman is a potential first round NFL draft pick, at 6-foot-9, 285 pounds and crazy athleticism. When the line is able to bring consistent pressure, opposing offenses do not have a shot. In the secondary, cornerback Xavien Howard is developing into a stud in his first season as a full-time starter.
The Bears will certainly try to challenge Michael Cummings to throw the ball, and the secondary is good enough to take advantage of mistakes.
KANSAN: Prediction for Saturday?
SHEHAN: Kansas has some fight in them, but Baylor is out for blood after a rough loss to West Virginia two weeks ago. Especially with a return back to Waco, the Bears will be eager to show they can post arguably their first complete performance since non-conference. Give me the Bears 63-14 on homecoming.

KANSAN: This year, Baylor is averaging more sacks and tackles for loss than last year's defense, which ended up being pretty strong. What kind of scheme does Baylor run defensively and who are some players to look out for?
SHEHAN: Baylor runs a base 4-2-5 defense, with four
leap on the team, eclipsing 45 inches. Not to be outdone, Antwan Goodley measured at a 4.41 in the 40 and was also named the Most Explosive Athlete in college football by NFL.com. Covering all three of these guys has proven to be a nightmare for opposing defenses.
SHERAN: Bryce Petty has every physical skill a quarterback can have, perhaps even more than (Robert Lee Griffin III). He is listed at 6-foot-3, 235 pounds, but boasts a 38-inch vertical and has run a sub-4.6 40. We have seen over the past two seasons that when Petty is playing at his best, no one can stop him. Unfortunately, poor performances against Texas and West Virginia have put him behind in the Heisman race, but with games in Norman, Okla., and against No. 9 Kansas State remaining, Petty has chances left to get back in the mix.
KANSAN: Over the past five or so seasons, the overall team speed for BU has been its defining characteristic. Give me a few burners that Kansas has to keep in check.
SHEMAN: The Bears have several receivers that cause all sorts of problems for opposing defenses. Baylor's incredible speed starts with KD Cannon. The true freshman wide receiver won the Class 4A Texas State 100-meter Championship after running a blazing 10.32 last spring. Sophomore Corey Coleman measured in with a 4.38 40-yard-dash time, and also posted the highest vertical

Rondo returns, helps Celtics defeat Nets
Reconstructive knee surgery kept Rajon Rondo him out for the first half of Stevens' inaugural season in Boston. Rondo hadn't yet regained his old form when, as Stevens prepared for Year 2, Rondo broke his hand.
BOSTON — Brad Stevens knew he had an all-star point guard when he took the Celtics' coaching job, but he didn't really get to see it in his first season on the Boston bench.
After missing the entire exhibition season, though, Rondo returned for the regular season opener on Wednesday night and scored 13 points, adding 12 assists and seven rebounds in 30 minutes to help the Celtics beat the Brooklyn Nets 121-105.
"He looks like himself," Stevens said. "He kind of looks like what I saw on film before I got here. I don't think he ever looked like that at any time last year. ... But he is back to full speed. And it's really good to see."
Kelly Olynyk had 19 points and Jeff Green added 17 for Boston, which opened a 29-point lead at the end of the third quarter and coasted to the win.
More than an hour after the game ended, Rondo appeared in the locker room and said he was still improving.
"I wasn't as explosive as I was in the past," he said. "At certain points, I felt like I was skipping a beat. Other than that, it was fun being back out there. It was great to be back out there playing basketball again."
Rondo was unavailable for comment, failing to appear in the locker room more than one hour after the end of the game.
Mirza Teletovic had 20 points and six rebounds in 23 minutes off the bench for the Nets, who trailed for all but a pair of free throws that opened the game. Joe Johnson scored 19 points for Brooklyn, and Deron Williams had 19 points and eight assists.
Rondo said he didn't decide to play until about an hour before the tipoff, after waking up from a pregame nap and feeling ready to play. Wearing a black brace on his left wrist and hand, Rondo showed no ill effects of the injury, dribbling with both hands and shooting 6 for 9 — better than his career 47.5 shooting percentage.
The Celtics led 101-72 at the end of the third quarter, but Brooklyn went on a 12-2 run to start the fourth and cut the deficit to 19. The Nets made it 112-97 on Johnson's 3-pointer with 4 minutes left but couldn't come any closer until the final seconds.
"We never really matched their energy," said center Mason Plumlee, who picked up two fouls in the first quarter and two more in the third and played just 11 1-2 minutes.
Rondo's return on opening night stole some of the attention from ex-Celtic Kevin Garnett, who received a big cheer when he was introduced with the starting lineups and went on to score 10 points with six rebounds.

THE DAILY DEBATE
Who is going to win the NBA rookie of the year?
By Nick Couzin
@NCouz
"JABARI PARKER"
I'm sorry Jayhawk fans, but unlike my counterpart who likes Andrew Wiggins as his presseason choice for NBA Rookie of the Year. my vote goes to Jabari Parker.
If there is a more NBA-ready small forward, it's Parker. Even when he was a senior at Simeon Academy in Chicago, NBA scouts and experts were saying he was ready. Playing for such an elite basketball program as Duke and working with Coach Krzyzewski only made him more ready.
He played all 35 games for Coach K last season. He was the leading scorer with 670 points on the season. Out of the 35 games, he scored over 20 points in 17 of them — more than half the games he played in — and also had a game of over 30.
The best thing that could have happened was Parker
being picked second in the draft. Wiggins was picked first by Cleveland Cavaliers, but later was traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Kevin Love. Wiggins wants to be the face of the franchise and he could be in Minnesota, but right now Ricky Rubio is there and is the more popular guard in town.
The situation is opposite for Parker. He will be the face of the Milwaukee Bucks, a team that had the worst record (15-67) and attendance (averaged 13,487/game) in the league last year. Despite the worst totals in the league in the two critical categories, Parker can be the difference maker this season.
What the Bucks need is a young player that will be around for years to come and carry the team through the rebuilding process. It only takes one player to turn a whole team around, and with what we have seen from Parker in high school and college, he could very well be that player.
As a whole, the Bucks
made a great choice with Parker because he will bring fans to the games and maybe even make the team profit enough to get that new arena Bucks fans have been begging for. Most of all, Parker loves it because everyone will rely on him like his Blue Devil teammates did at Duke.
Even better, he starts his professional career only about an hour and a half from his hometown in Chicago. So don't be surprised if you see Parker take over Bradley Center this year. This 2014-15 season might be a struggle without guards Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis, who are no longer with the team. But if Parker puts up the numbers like he did at Duke there is no doubt in my mind that he will win Rookie of the Year in the NBA this season.

"ANDREW WIGGINS"

Anyone familiar with KU basketball knows about all the praise and hype that Andrew Wiggins received while in high school and college. He has been called the next LeBron James, the next Kevin Durant or the next Tracy McGrady.
Somehow, though, Wiggins is being overlooked going into his rookie season with the Minnesota Timberwolves. The most common candidates to win the Rookie of the Year award are jabari Parker and Nerlens Noel.
Wiggins, however, is the most likely candidate to win the award for best rookie this upcoming season.
Wiggins has the athleticism, work ethic and skill to be an elite player in the NBA, and though he isn't considered as offensively refined as Parker, his defensive ability sets him apart.
In a preview of Wiggins' season. the Minneapolis Star
Tribune reported, "Starting with Wednesday's opener at Memphis, Wiggins' influence probably will be felt most on the defensive end."
While NBA awards are often decided by a player's national exposure and highlight reel, Wiggins' defense will be a huge asset in his case to be Rookie of the Year. Not only will his defense garner attention, but it will also help increase his national exposure and highlight reel.
Being able to play defense ensures that he will be available to play at the end of garnes because he won't be a liability on the defensive end, like many rookies are. This will allow him to make game-winning plays on a team looking for offense now that Kevin Love is in Cleveland. These are the moments that make it on SportsCenter recaps and allow for a player's reputation to grow.
Alongside that, Wiggins will be playing with the likes of Ricky Rubio, Corey Brewer and Thaddeus Young, who all excel at creating turn-overs. For the young Timberwolves, turnovers will turn into transition offense, which is Wiggins' best asset and the best opportunity for him to show off his otherworldly athleticism and end up on SportsCenter's Top 10 plays.
While his defense sets him apart, expect his offensive game to grow quickly as well. In the preseason, Wiggins averaged 11.75 points per game with a .410 field goal percentage including a .600 average from beyond the arc. He will have ample opportunities to get big minutes and be one of the main scoring options as Minnesota looks to develop him into a star and replace some of the production it lost from dealing Love.
While Parker and Noel will have fine seasons, Wiggins will win out as the most productive player on both sides of the floor, and his next-level athleticism will get him the national media recognition needed to win NBA awards.

Kansas rowing glides across the Kansas River beneath I-70 during the Jayhawk Jamboree on Oct. 18. The Jayhawks head to Chattanooga, Tenn., this weekend to compete in their second regatta of the season.
Rowing team travels to Tennessee for regatta

The Kansas women's rowing team will head to Chattanooga, Tenn., this weekend to compete in their second regatta of the season. Head of the Hooch. They will compete against teams from all over the country, including several from the Big 12 and Big 10 conferences and a couple of the nationally ranked teams.
"This regatta gives us an opportunity to see how we fair against other teams, particularly other teams in our conference," said Erin Brogan, a senior from Haddonfield, N.J. Erin will compete on the second Varsity Eight boat on Saturday and the first Open Eight boat on Sunday.
The Jayhawks hosted their own regatta, Jayhawk Jamboree, two weekends ago. Erin said their results are what helped them prepare for this
upcoming event.
"Our results put us in the mindset of where we stand among our competition and what we need to do to improve," Brogan said.
This regatta is the last competition of the fall season. Afterwards, the team will begin training for spring competitions.
Kansas only competed in two regattas this fall, but most schools have competed in as many as five already. Brogan attributed this to the fact that they lost many seniors last year and gained freshmen who have never rowed before this year.
"We lost a lot of girls at the end of last year, so we needed to rethink and rework our team dynamics a bit this year," Brogan said. "So instead of competing against other schools, we've been competing a lot against ourselves to see where we as individual rowers
stand... It's been kind of like our secret strategy, to stay quiet and figure out our team in the fall so we're ready in the spring."
Races in the fall are distance races while races in the spring are much shorter. The first spring competition is the Louisville Invite on March 14. Brogan said the time period between the fall and spring competitions is a time for the team to go back to the drawing board and restru格ize.
"This year has been fun because, since we lost so many seniors and have been mainly competing against ourselves, everyone has had the opportunity to step up as a leader," Brogan said. "It doesn't matter what year you are or how long you've been rowing. We've got a whole new team."

@joey_anguiano
Freshman Grace Morgan is a runner to watch out for this weekend at the Big 12 Championships in Lawrence. Morgan dominated the field at Rim Rock Farm early in the season during the Bob Timmons Classic.
On the men's side, the meet will feature four top-30 teams, Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, Texas and Iowa State, along with the other six Big 12 schools. For the women's side there are also four top-30 teams, Iowa State, West Virginia, Oklahoma State and Baylor. Kansas has gone up against this type of competition all season long, and it has been great preparation for them.
A team to lookout for on Saturday is Oklahoma State. The Cowboys might as well have targets on their bibs instead of numbers as the men's team looks to extend their dominant streak of six straight conference championships to seven straight. A few of the Cowboys runners to watch out for are junior Kirubel Erassa, freshman Luis Martinez, senior Shane Moskowitz, junior Craig Nowak, and junior Justin Wilhauer, who have all been placing in the top 20 finishers consistently.
This upcoming weekend has been circled on the Kansas cross country team's calendar since the schedule was announced. The teams will play host to the Big 12 championships this weekend at their home course of Rim Rock Farm, where they already run twice this season.
On the women's side,
junior Crystal Nelson of Iowa State is fresh off of her victory at the Wisconsin Adidas Invitational, and being named the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association athlete of the week. Additionally, Iowa State senior Katy Moen will look to assist Iowa State to their fourth straight Big 12 Title.
As for the Jayhawks, who had eight runners named to the Big 12 All-Academic list, look for junior Jacob Morgan and senior James Wilson to perform well at Rim Rock. Morgan already has a first and second place finish at Rim Rock this season.
For the women's side,
The women's race will start at 10 a.m., and the gun will go off for the men an hour later at 11 a.m.
make sure to keep an eye on sophomore Nashia Baker, who has led the Jayhawks in every race that she's competed in this season. Additionally watch out for freshman Grace Morgan, who dominated the field at Rim Rock early in the season during the Bob Timmons Classic.

Basketball more than a game for Saudi women
JIDDAH, Saudi Arabia — As the NBA season kicks off in America this week, a group of Saudi women and girls will be pursuing their own hoop dreams.
Women's basketball is gaining in popularity in a kingdom rife with public restrictions on female movement and activity. With the help of some U.S.-trained coaches, female enthusiasts are using basketball to push for greater rights for women on and off the courts in Saudi Arabia.
"We are an activist team," said Lina Almaeena, who started the first women's basketball team here 11 years ago. That led to the creation of Jiddah United in 2006, the first sports club in Saudi Arabia to include women. "We took it upon ourselves to really promote the sport at a time when it was a big time taboo ... when there was a self-imposed censorship on women's sports."
ASSOCIATED PRESS
For the players, basketball is not merely a sport but an act of defiance in a country where female access to exercise is outright shunned by ultraconservatives; physical education is still not on the curriculum for girls in Sau<sup>14</sup>
At a recent afternoon basketball practice in Jiddah, girls as young as four years jumped, took shots and ran on open-air basketball courts behind gated concrete walls. Boys played in nearby courts. The children and their coaches stopped for daily prayers.
Nevertheless, Saudi women's basketball is on the rise, and women from the ultraconservative kingdom are even playing in other Arab countries. Hadeer Sadagah, 20, started playing eight years ago with Almaeena at Jiddah United. She now plays at the collegiate level for the University of Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates.
"I wouldn't be the person I am today without the sport and the team," she said. "It made me be more active in society, school and in studies. It made me more social. It made me confident."
Women are bound by strict rules when it comes to their attire, so they cannot be seen by men while jogging in sweat pants, much less wearing fitted or revealing shorts. Most women in Saudi Arabia cover their hair and face with a veil known as the niqab and all women are required to wear a loose black dress known as the abaya in public.
public schools.
Almaeena says basketball is becoming popular among Saudi girls because it offers the camaraderie of a team sport. Basketball is also seen as more societally acceptable since girls can practice in loose, conservative clothes, and the sport can be played indoors and outdoors.
From its humble beginning at Jiddah United, the sport has grown into a network of teams in different cities. No formal league exists but women's teams play in privately organized tournaments against a handful of other private schools, universities and club teams across the kingdom.
Despite the growth, women's basketball in Saudi Arabia still faces a host of logistical obstacles due to the kingdom's strict gender-segregation rules.
Women's teams are not part of the kingdom's federation that oversees sports, and women often struggle to find facilities to train and are not allowed to attend matches in stadiums. In Jiddah, the older female players practice and play in a female-only gym. They only play tournaments in front of other women, and even their male coaches do not attend games.

Kansas looking for bounce back season with victory
SCOTT CHASEN
@SChasenKU
After a tough 2013-14 campaign, the Kansas women's basketball team will look to start its season off with a victory against Fort Hays State on Nov. 2 at 2 p.m. The Jayhawks have won each of their past 10 exhibition openers, and there is no reason to think that will change, despite the team's struggles last year.
The Jayhawks began their 2013-14 season with an 11-11 record, which included a home win against Odyssey Sims and the No.7 Baylor Bears. However, Kansas would falter down the stretch, losing eight of its last 10 games. Kansas missed out on the NCAA Tournament, snapping its streak of two consecutive appearances in the Sweet 16. Regardless, coach Bonnie Henrickson expects the Jayhawks will have a much more successful campaign in the upcoming year.
"If you look at us now and the work we did in the summer and so far this fall, I am confident that we can handle the ball better and shoot the ball better," Henrickson said at women's basketball media day. "I have really been impressed
with [the team's] ability to recognize how to get uncontested threes."
Last year, shooting was somewhat of an issue for the Jayhawks, as they failed to hit more than four 3-pointers in each of the last three games. However, the Jayhawks have added a couple of top-tier freshman point guards in Terriell Bradley and Lauren Aldridge, and Henrickson is very positive about the boost they can provide.
"The good thing about [our point guards] is that they can really shoot the ball, so you can play two of the three to
gether" Henrickson said. "I think when you look at young players, specifically young

point guards, there are intangibles that point to why a kid might struggle, [but with us] I
don't see any of that."
Henrickson said she might even use a three point guard lineup at times, with the two freshmen playing alongside Johnson County Community College transfer Timeka O'Neal. While the idea of three point guards on the court at the same time might seem strange, Henrickson is hardly the first coach to employ such a strategy.
Looking forward to the matchup against Fort Hays State, the Jayhawks will have to find a way to stop the Tigers' center Kate Lehman, who averaged 16.5 points and 11.2
rebounds per game last year. Lehman's best performance came late in the season, when she got her second triple-double of the year in a game against Northeastern State. The Newton native scored 10 points, snagged 17 rebounds and blocked 10 shots as the Tigers easily won, 55-39.
Lehman even has some experience against the Jayhawks, scoring 16 points in an exhibition game versus Kansas back in 2012, which the Tigers lost 88-43.
