Trojan Brand Condoms just released their ninth annual Sexual Health Report Card, ranking the University of Kansas No. 55 on the list of 140 colleges nationwide.
ARE YOU DOING IT RIGHT?
University ranked No. 55 on the annual Trojan safe sex list
MAEGAN BULL
@maegan_bull
Trojan Brand Condoms recently released its ninth annual Sexual Health Report Card, which ranked KU's main campus No.55 out of 140 colleges on sexual health The rankings are based on 11 separate categories, including sexual health education and resources, on-site STI and HIV testing, condom availability and sexual assault programs and resources.
The University jumped nine spaces up from last year's No. 64 rank, just behind Kansas State University. Oregon State University ranked No.1, with Brigham Young University being ranked the lowest of the 140 colleges on sexual health.
The Centers for Disease Control estimates that nearly 20 million new sexually transmitted infections occur every year in this country, with 1-in-4 college students having some form of an STI.
The research data was collected
and ranked by the independent research firm, Sperling's BestPlaces. One notable finding from the study was that only 41 percent of college-aged adults report they always use a condom. Melissa Smith, of Edelman public relations, said another significant finding of the study was 64 percent of college age adults reported using a condom the last time they had sex, compared to 54 percent of those aged 23-34. Fewer college age adults have had STD scares than their older peers, and they are nearly twice as likely not to have ever been tested for an STD, according to the data.
Safe sex is promoted through various ways on campus, including the yearly sexual health demonstrations in the dorms and scholarship halls put on by Peer Health Educators. The demonstrations include information on how to effectively use condoms. Peer Health also passes out safe sex kits and discusses safe sex with students. Confidential walk-in STI testing is available on
campus at Watkins Memorial Health Center.
Shannon Livengood, a senior from Clay Center and peer health education coordinator at Watkins, said she talks to
"Sex is not just supposed be a goal at the end of the night, it should be something that all parties involved with want enthusiastically and it should be something that people talk about."

Watkins health educator
students over the phone and in person weekly about sexual health. She said the most commonly asked question is about how to properly use condoms.
Every Friday, peer health educators hold an event called Condom Sense Friday to educate students on safe sex
by passing out safe sex kits that contain two condoms instructions for use and how to contact them if students have additional questions.
"Typically we pass out 200 condoms every Friday," Livengood said. "We also just recently added a consent sticker to each condom that says 'Ask before you unwrap.'"
Any student who has questions about sexual health can get in touch with a peer health educator through phone at (785) 864-9574 or by email at peerhlth@ku.edu.
McKee said students who are thinking about hooking up should start with a pre-sex conversation so all parties involved are on the same page.
"Sex is not just supposed be a goal at the end of the night, it should be something that all parties involved with want enthusiastically and it should be something that people talk about," said Jenny McKee, a health educator at Watkins.

differently," said Kelli Nichols, head of the committee and assistant dean and adviser in the School of Journalism.
Nichols said the committee is not trying to change the way each school does its own advising, but have the advising network to cooperate and communicate more.
“[We're] talking about how we deal with students when they apply to one of our majors, whether they're admitted or denied, and just sharing how each school does that, since each school does that a little differently,” Nichols said.
Another administrative inconsistency the committee hopes to address is the different application deadlines, Nichols said.
"Deadlines for those applications don't always match up, and [we're asking], could they?" Nichols said. "[We're] looking at making things a little more consistent for students [which] will make it easier for everyone."

Police investigate
Sunday morning death
Lawrence police investigated a call reporting shots fired at 24th Street and Brush Creek Drive on Sunday at approximately 2 a.m. The shots fired then became a death investigation after officers arrived, said Sgt. Craig Shanks of the Lawrence Police Department.
The investigation unit will continue to look into the circumstances of the death, and the officer in charge of public relations will release more information tomorrow.
Shanks said the public is in no immediate danger. He could not confirm whether the death was suspicious.

Authorities say work begins Friday to recover the remains of victims who died when a small plane crashed into the facility Thursday.

All four bodies recovered from Wichita plane crash
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA - The bodies of all four victims have been recovered from the rubble of a Wichita flight training facility that was struck by an airplane earlier in the week, according to the city's fire marshal.
Wichita Fire Marshal Brad Crisp said in a news conference Saturday night that crews removed the body of the pilot from the roof of the Flight Safety International Learning Center at Wichita Mid-Continent Airport.
The bodies of the other three victims who were inside a flight simulator when the twin-engine plane hit Thursday had been removed Friday.
Crisp said crews had a hard time reaching the pilot's body because the walls and roof of the structure, which caught on fire after the crash, were crumbling.
Wichita fire crews plan to remain at the crash scene through at least Sunday to deal with small flare-ups, Crisp said.
"There are a lot of factors, including aviation fuel that's still in the building, that we have to pay attention to," he said.
Police have confirmed the identity of the pilot as Mark Goldstein, 53, but Crisp declined Saturday to release the other victims' names, saying that the coroner's office was working to identify them and notify their families.
Heavy-equipment operators were also on scene, deconstructing parts of the building,the newspaper reported.
National Transportation Safety Board spokesman Peter Knudson told the newspaper Friday that the cockpit voice recorder had been removed by lowering someone
in a harness into the rubble.
in a hardness into the rubble.
"We didn't want to wait until the building was safe to go into," Knudson said. "We wanted to get that information as quickly as possible."
Knudson said the voice recorder would be shipped to Washington, D.C., for analysis.
Knudson said the NTSB had determined there was also "some sort of data recorder" on board. It was not clear whether that recorder survived because it was not in a crash-hardened black box, though Knudson said officials are hopeful they can secure it.
Roberts, Orman fight for narrow moderate eastern Kansas vote
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PRAIRIE VILLAGE — Republican Sen. Pat Roberts and independent challenger Greg Orman began their closing appeals in this surprisingly competitive race, aiming mainly at dissatisfied moderates in vote-rich eastern Kansas.
Roberts, fighting for his fourth term, campaigned with former Kansas Sen. Bob Dole, describing him as a sensible collaborator during his years as majority leader. Orman took his message, stoking dissatisfaction with both parties, to rallies of supporters in Wichita and in the Kansas City suburbs.
The two are locked in a neck-and-neck race, with Orman slightly ahead in polls, at a time when Republicans are within striking distance of winning control of the Senate. Yet,
"It's time for Kansans to declare their independence from all this," Orman told about 200 supporters at a neighborhood park in Prairie Village, referring to gridlock in the federal government. "I'm asking Kansans to declare their independence by supporting mine on Tuesday."
Republicans were not expecting to have to defend Roberts.
Orman has led by very narrow margins since October, while Roberts' support has been steady but seldom ahead of Orman's.
Orman needs larger than normal turnout from independents, and Democrats.
"Because of you what was once an idealistic and hopeful campaign is now a campaign on the verge of victory," Orman told supporters.

First-year students battle homesickness
HANNAH SUNDERMEYER
@hannahkaylee
Andrea Subirana, a freshman from Santa Cruz, Bolivia, can't wait to be reunited with her family and friends during winter break in December or visit her favorite spot in the heart of Santa Cruz.

"One of my favorite places in my home city is its principal square-plaza," she said. "It is in the exact middle, and in front of the Cathedral. It's full of palm trees, pigeons and coffee sellers. It's pretty easy to get there and there are many things you can do, independent of the hour or day."
The Plaza 24 de Septiembre in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, is one of freshman Andrea Subirana's favorite places back home. When she gets homesick, Subirana tries to find a Lawrence version of the plaza on campus.
While she can't find her own Plaza 24 de Septiembre in Lawrence, she appreciates the older buildings on campus and the changing seasons.
"Right now it's spring there and the flowers fall from the trees the same way that leaves fall here," she said. "It is really nice to experience that similarity."
Today, Subirana seems to have made the transition to her new life at the University of Kansas, but still feels the
effects of homesickness, as do many other first-year students. In 10 short weeks, these students have been obliged to make new friends, take on new responsibilities and adjust to unfamiliar surroundings.
"College proves to be a physically and mentally taxing conversion for many students," said Omri Gillath, a professor in social psychology.
He said as students deal with homesickness and the often attendant feelings of depression or sadness, they should seek support from the people they've been closest to. He recommends emailing or calling as opposed to just posting information on Facebook, perhaps not every day, but often enough to stay meaningfully connected.
"What we found really helpful was to maintain relationships with your old networks," he said. "If you can stay in touch with your friends and if you can stay in touch with your family, that will definitely help you."
Freshmen Kenzie Funk and her twin sister Maddie Funk don't have to go far to see each
other, but just living separately in different dorms has been an adjustment. They have always had a close relationship and shared the same group of friends.
"I'm actually kind of home-sick now, even though I've been here for a while," Kenzie said. "But being away from my
sister was a really hard adjustment for me, I still go over to her room a lot and we talk on the phone more than we ever did at home."
Kenzie, who is from Lenexa, said there is always the temptation to drive home when she starts missing her family, but she has been trying to avoid
doing so. Rather than leaving Lawrence, she will give her mom a call or spend time with her friends to keep her mind off of feeling homesick.
"We both kind of have our own friends now and I think that took a toll on our relation-

Kansas judge to issue marriage decision soon
KELSIE JENNINGS
@kelcjen
NEW:
On Oct. 6., the U.S. Supreme
The status of same-sex marriage is still in question for the state of Kansas after Friday's hearing in a federal court. Judge Daniel Crabtree heard the cases Friday for the same-sex marriage lawsuit, Marie v. Moser, which was filed by the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of two lesbian Kansas couples, but has yet to make a decision.
After attorneys for both sides of the lawsuit presented their arguments, Crabtree ended Friday's hearing by saying there will be a decision made as soon as possible, but he did not give a specific date.
The two Kansas couples in the case tried to get marriage licenses after same-sex marriage became legal in Oklahoma and Utah on Oct. 6., but were denied, according to the ACLU website.
THE HEARING:
An attorney for the plaintiff, Marie, said the law in Kansas prevents same-sex couples from experiencing the joys and practical privileges of marriage, and the purpose of this lawsuit was to seek a preliminary injunction, which would be a court order for court clerks that says they can't deny marriage licenses to same-sex couples. The attorney also asked for prospective relief, which means the injunction would apply to same-sex couples from here on out, not past events.
A defense attorney for Moser said if a preliminary injunction is granted, the defense will appeal, which means a higher court, the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals, would review the
decision. The defense wants a state court, the Kansas Supreme Court, to make the decision on same-sex marriage. They don't want a federal court to make a decision for Kansas.
BACKGROUND:
Court declined to hear cases on same-sex marriage, involving five states, two of them being Oklahoma and Utah. Their refusal to hear the cases made same-sex marriage legal in those five states. Since Kansas is part of the 10th Circuit, along with Oklahoma and Utah, this legalization set precedent, or paved the way, for same-sex marriage to also become legal in Kansas at some point.

Our generation should stray from the economic growth imperative
By Sebastian Schoneich
@ThingsSebiSays
For a few years, I've been bothered by the adoration developed countries have for the concept of "growth." It seems the imperative of economic growth is more politically powerful than the president, and even worse, it is treated as a self-evident, necessary condition for the health of the nation. Taken further, it seems as though people's well-being depends on a healthy economy, which in turn requires its activities be guided by constant growth. The small attention paid to what the limitations of growth should be worries me and should worry you, too.
nature of economic growth as imperative, you will notice it is not inherently bad. Growth is good for capitalist economies and the development of nations. In a sense, it is logical that it should occur, given the increase of populations around the world. Unfortunately, though, it has proven too easy for the growth imperative to sneakily define our ethics of how we ought to live.
For the sake of growth, globalization has become an established condition of the world. Corporate structures seem to control many aspects of our lives, but the government doesn't do much when corporations get things wrong. For example, nearly
no one has been punished for the financial crisis of 2008. Sadly, we forsake the environment and the health of local communities; when those actions are called into question, the apparent necessity for growth justifies them. Why? Because the growth imperative creates unnecessary competition, whose fierce arena disregards the consequences of its actions. Yet, it is difficult for the government to stop and think about the consequences of fulfledged growth while also feeling the need to be economically competitive on the international stage. Unfortunately, this means that as long as pure growth reigns, concern for well-being is cast aside.
The growth imperative will negatively affect us in numerous ways environmentally, socially politically. Current political and economic structures do a terrible job of addressing such issues because they consider those issues as secondary to the question of growth. Even the University is a culprit of this dilemma by constantly aiming to improve its ranking compared to other colleges, perpetually raising tuition rates in order to keep up with the rest and that's just one example. It seems our administration easily forgets it is first and foremost an academic institution.
How can this mentality be changed?
One concept that has incredible potential as a force for change is a "generational shift." As members of the next generation in line to be in command of the world, we must think carefully about the consequences of current political practices. We must align the growth imperative with a concern for our future well-being, which inevitably includes environmental concerns, social concerns and so on. By thinking prudently, we will rope in the growth imperative that plagues not only the U.S., but the world.

Protesters on campus help create positive discussion among students
By Anissa Fritz @anissafritzz
The protests on campus have seemed to not only increase in frequency, but also in energy. Originally from Texas, it surprised me when I would see people who weren't University students throwing Bibles, waving signs and yelling at the top of their lungs, or even seeing silent
protesters on Wescoe Beach. As time has gone on, I've witnessed more of these protests and have come to the conclusion that these protests do more good than harm.
These protests can be seen as annoying and inconvenient, especially when you're in a rush to class and someone holding a sign saying, "Be A Ho No Mo" stops you. Just the
noise and ruckus naturally draws your attention toward the crowds, whether you meant for it to. However, the louder the protests, the more the students gather around and listen. Students will stop and observe, whether they agree, and some may even voice their opinions on what the protesters have to say. Watching groups of students discuss their
own personal beliefs with protesters on campus gives me a sense of pride in my school. Our school's student body is bold enough, brave enough and cares enough to fight back when they don't agree or join along if they do.
Protests give students an opportunity to think about what they believe in and voice their opinions. Both are healthy and beneficial
to the unity of the KU student body. Most see protests as unnecessary and eccentric, however they do serve a purpose. Protests create a chance for students to unite in debate and discussion, therefore making a wiser and better equipped student body.

Journalism school launches 'the Agency'
The KU School of Journalism hired Janet Rose eight weeks ago to lead the Agency, a student-run strategic communications agency that offers real-world experience to students. Made possible by donors who have given $400,000 in support, the Agency provides strategic communications services, including branding, advertising, video production multimedia research and social media for departments and schools across the University.
"This is a real world agency and we will have real clients," Rose said. "In other words, we will be just like a strategic communications agency out there in the world, and we will develop campaigns, we'll do research strategy, we will do a lot of creative strategy also and creative ideation and things like that."
Rose said the goal for the Agency is to give students the opportunity to get the experience of working in a real agency. She said she has worked in a number of different agencies, and the good thing about the Agency is it will be a microcosm of a larger agency.
When the Agency started, a signup sheet was made available for those interested in working with the Agency. Rose said within a week, about 80 people expressed interest and another 60 soon followed.
For the past few weeks, the Agency has been splitting the students into groups and then assigning those groups to certain projects. Rose said the work in a strategic communications agency is tremendously collaborative. Eventually, the Agency hopes to have a core group of about 30 people, who will represent the main business facet of the Agency.
"There will be a variety of requirements to get to [the core group] in the Agency, but at the same time, I'm very passionate about bringing people in that are freshmen and sophomores," Rose said.
Rose plans to have a system where the 30 core individuals will each mentor someone who is a freshman or sophomore and bring him or her along through projects to better educate them on the process.
from the School of Journalism, but also with people from the design department and business school and people involved in statistics and political science.
Rose said there is a lot of talent here at the University. She said the Agency will be working with not only people
Rose said the Agency will mostly be staffed by people who are part of the School of Journalism. Rose said for now, people are involved as volunteers, but eventually, the Agency will have some paid positions as well.
Rose said she believes understanding the mindsets of different consumers and the target audience of each project will ultimately lead the Agency to reach its goal of developing breakthrough work that tells or shows a story by bringing some kind of idea to life.
"We will also be interested in how students think because that's where these culture trends generate." Rose said. "We take that and really develop all the ideas by coming up with a strategic idea that gets you from one thing to another."
Currently, the Agency is working with around 10 clients and hopes to increase that number as the Agency grows.
Student spotlights within the Agency:

LAUREN KATZ
Junior from Overland Park
KANSAN: What is your role in the Agency and the general idea of the projects you work on?
KATZ: I'm an account executive and work with a group of five other account executives. We work with our clients on addressing their marketing and advertising needs and then work with the other departments within the agency to develop strategies and solutions for them.
KANSAN: What is the most rewarding part about working with the Agency?
do we get to work with real world clients, but we also get to be part of something totally new to KU. It's rewarding because we basically get to see our ideas come to life right before our eyes. These ideas range from client projects and campaigns to building the organizational infrastructure.
KANSAN: What are your personal goals for working with the Agency in the future? KAT2: I'm really looking forward to learning the ins and outs of an advertising agency and gaining real world experience. It's also really cool that we get the opportunity to learn how to build a business from the ground up.
KATZ: It's been a really unique experience because, not only
PETER HARRIS
MICHAEL SHAW Junior from Shawnee
KANSAN: What is your role in the Agency and the general idea of the projects you work on?
SHAW: The project I've been working on most is a creative proposal for a client here in Lawrence. I don't think I can say much more due to confidentiality. However, we have also been spending a lot of time talking about the brand and feel of the agency itself. Even though we have already started pitching to clients, we want to make sure that our name, logo, aesthetic and feel are timeless. Part of the beauty and the danger of what we're doing is that the coming and going of students will keep the Agency fresh and spry, but it could also lead to inconsistency and the slipping of standards. The brand of the Agency has to demand a certain level of excellence. Or, at the very least, we think it should.
SHAW: The most rewarding part for me is feeling connected to KU. I have loved my experience at KU, but I have never been very involved on campus. With the
KANSAN: What is the most rewarding part about working with the Agency?
Agency, I'm helping to leave a tangible mark behind. I also love that the Agency has given me peace of mind about my major. I've spent a few nights on campus until 10 or 11 at night working on a proposal for a client, and it doesn't even feel like "work."
KANSAN: What are your personal goals for working with the Agency in the future?
SHAW: Even though I mentioned the building of a sort of legacy, hopefully, for me it all comes back to the work we produce. Everyone here at KU needs stuff on their resume, from film majors to the English department, and I think that fact alone gives us incredible opportunities and manpower that other agencies might not have. To put it more succinctly, my personal goal for working with the agency is to look back at our work 45 years from now and think, "Man, that was a killer idea."
ANDY MCCONNELL Senior from Liberty, Mo.
1978
KANSAN: What is your role in the Agency and the general idea of the projects you work on?
MCCONNELL: Recently, we started working with a client that wanted to increase their brand awareness within the Lawrence community. After conducting our own research, our creative and account management teams developed a strategic communication proposal to present to the client. So far our work has been focusing on the client's social media usage. While the client currently does work with social media, it is lacking some critical components. So what we did and are doing is developing a seamless social media strategy plan that connects all their social media to help increase their reach, awareness and brand image. In addition to that, we have been working to create a sort of social media workshop for our client's employees. Some of the employees do not have a strong social media
presence or aren't aware of the benefits behind using social media. Our plan is to show them how to utilize their own social media in the most efficient way. By doing this and connecting the employee's social media with the company's social media, it will greatly expand their visibility within the community and advance their image.
KANSAN- What is the most rewarding part about working with the Agency?
MCCONMELL: The most rewarding thing I have experienced working with the Agency is the real world knowledge that I have gained from working with multiple clients. It is a very rare and unique opportunity that we have been given, and I feel the knowledge that everyone has received since we have begun is immeasurable. This is such a new experience for everyone, because not only is it an actual agency, but it is also an entrepreneurial startup. It has been extremely stimulating to learn all the different components of both the advertising agency world and what it takes to start a business. We have a great group working on the Agency and being a part of such a diverse, but focused group of people has been amazing. Everyone involved is willing to go the extra mile, not only for the Agency, but for each other, and I feel that is something you don't experience everyday.
KANSAN: What are your personal goals for working with the Agency in the future?
MCCONNELL: Personally, I would like to see our agency grow and become nationally recognized. I want businesses and organizations that we work with to be happy and proud with their decision in choosing us. Going forward I want to help develop a solid base for future students that want to experience agency work while attending school. We want to build a competitive, but team-inspired environment that truly adds to the education of students. I have already benefited from the experience greatly, and it hasn't even been a full semester. I can only imagine how much personal development it will give me after working for a year. I want that for other students in the future.

Student participates in second national novel writing contest
MARIA SANCHEZ
@MariaSanchezKU
found herself mainly writing stories centered on a heroine whom she can easily relate to, and that she came up with the subject by simply brainstorming and writing.
As the first day of November passed, junior Donna Craven from Great Bend counted about 800 words already written for her novel; she has 49,200 words and 27 days to go.
In 2012, Craven completed a science-fiction novel about a mutant girl for NaNoWriMo. This year, Craven is writing about a girl in her first year of college and how she tries to fit in with her new roommate's crowd. Craven said she
It's the second time Craven is participating in National Novel Writing Month, during which writers take on the challenge of completing a 50,000-word novel in 30 days. Participants who submit their novel to NaNoWriMo's website by the end of the month can win paperback copies of their novel as well as softcover and Kindle formatted copies.
"I'll picture a scene and think, 'That's interesting and that could be an interesting character,'" Craven said. "Once I have that scene and that character, whether that's the beginning of my story or the final scene, everything just revolves up to the point."
"It's just a really fun experience. You have your word goal of 50,000, and that's your only rule," Craven said. "So it's really fun to just be able to have that limitless opportunity with what you want to do."
Craven said she became interested in writing in middle school, where she wrote short stories for class. When she came to college, a friend told her about NaNoWriMo. Once she tried it, she was hooked.
month, she said other commitments suffer in November. In balancing writing on top of a 15-hour work week and 15 credit hours, Craven said relationships fall second to writing.
To make a 50,000-word novel a reality by the end of the
"Friends, family, they all take a hit when it comes to spending time together because that time goes towards writing," Craven said. "NaNoWriMo involves lots of promises to hang out in December after the pressure's off."
To avoid losing time, Craven said she keeps a notebook or her phone with her wherever she goes so she can work on her novel when she has spare time throughout the day.
“Ten or 15 minutes can be 100 words if you're useful with it” Craven said.
SUDOKU
Kristin Soper, Lawrence Public Library events and programming coordinator and 2004 University graduate, said the struggle with this event is not only finding the time to write but also allowing yourself to write.
Soper is also
participating in NaNoWriMo.
"A big challenge is turning off your internal editor and getting over that block," Soper said. "If you get behind, you can use that as an excuse to not complete your novel."
Soper said having a community of writers can help writers finish their novels. The Lawrence Public Library holds write-ins every Tuesday from 6-9 p.m. when participants can work together on stories.
With the help of write-ins and coffee, Craven plans on finishing her second novel in NaNoWriMo. Although Craven will have to sacrifice much sleep during November, she said the feeling of completing a novel is worth the stress and that she hopes to get some of her novels published in the future.
"It's a huge accomplishment at the end of the month to look back, and you have this huge word document filled with things that you wrote," Craven said. "None of those things existed 30 days ago."

Midwest housing conference comes to campus
CHANDLER BOESE
@Chandler_Boese
This past weekend, 500 students from all over the Midwest came to the University for the MACURH (Midwest Affiliate of College and University Residence Halls) conference, which hasn't taken place in Lawrence since 1993.
the conference is intended to bring together students from different universities and housing organizations for a weekend of networking and leadership development, said Laura Wehmeier, vice-chair of the conference and a junior from Gardner.
the conference," Wehmeier said.
A team of KU students has been planning the conference for the past two years. To bring it to the University, they had to prepare a bid, or a plan, for the conference and be chosen to host it.
"We spent a year in the bidding process, presented, received the bid and then spent this last year actually planning
"I went to my first MACURH in 2012 at the University of Nebraska-Kearney, and that's where I was inspired to host it." Wehmeter said. "So myself, along with [conference chairwoman] Taylor Hanna, brought the idea to KU and bid for the conference and put a staff together."
"Our theme here is 'piecing together the bigger picture.' We have a puzzle, and there's four pieces to our puzzle. It's tradition, passion, diversity and teamwork," Wehmeier said. "We basically want each delegate and each delegation, while they're here, to reflect on those throughout their time at the conference."

Members of MACURH, Midwest Affiliate of College and University Residence Halls, present at a conference in the Kansas Memorial Union this past weekend. It is the first time the event has taken place in Lawrence since 1993.
MACURH is a part of NACURH, the National Association of College and University Residence Halls. NACURH includes national organizations like National Residence Hall Honorary and college-based organizations like the Association of University Residence Halls. NACURH is also the largest nonprofit, student-run organization in the world.
Five-hundred delegates from 35 other schools arrived on the Oct.31. The delegates are students who are involved in some aspect of student housing, from hall presidents to resident advisors.
During the opening ceremony of the conference, Blane Harding, director of the Sabatini Multicultural Center, spoke about one of the puzzle pieces - diversity. He talked to the delegates about how they can make residents feel accepted for their differences.
"When you're talking about diversity, it's the individual that comes first, not the culture," Harding said.
Over the course of the weekend, students had chances to get to know each other with social events, like the first-ever MACURH drag show. They also had opportunities to learn many different skills, from
putting together RA boards to building a resume, Wehmeier said.
Saturday also included some boardroom meetings in which different groups discussed policy changes. Wehmeier said
these changes can be anything from officer term limits to inclusion of gender-neutral bathrooms in residence halls.
The conference ended Saturday night with a closing banquet and dance.

Lawrence businesses reflect on success during Royals' playoff run
CHANDLER BLANTON
@ChandlerBlanton
Though the World Series failed to end in a Royals championship, Lawrence businesses were winners all around. Now that the MLB season is over, businesses such as Kansas Sampler/ Rally House, Bullwinkles and Jefferson's are looking back and reflecting on the success they experienced during the Royal's playoff run.
Kansas Sampler/Rally House is an example of a sports apparel store that found themselves selling much more Royals gear than usual.
The store's sales increased by 2,100 percent during the
week of the World Series as compared to a normal week, store manager Candace Anstaett said. The most popular items were the Royals World Series cap and the Always October hoodies. Anstaett said she was impressed with the amount of Royals gear sold, especially to be used for Halloween.
"In past years, we've always had kids coming in asking for KU jerseys so they can be KU basketball players for Halloween," Anstea tett said. "This year, we got handfuls of calls daily asking for Royals jerseys so kids could dress up as Royals players."
Bullwinkles also experienced success both monetarily and by increasing
their number of customers, manager Shelda Jewell said. Jewell credits some of the success to the Bull's game night drink specials — certain blue drinks were significantly cheaper than normal.
slow for us, but when there were games on Tuesdays, we definitely saw more business than usual," Barnes said.
"Even though the Royals didn't pull out the final win, many fans still came in the day and week after shopping for Royals merchandise to support the team," Anstaett said. "Many fans have continued to want Royals gear to show how proud they are of their team."
"We easily doubled our profits on game nights," Jewell said. "We also saw anywhere from 25 to 100 more customers than usual per game."
Jefferson's experienced similar success, despite not adding any new specials on food or drinks. Jefferson's manager Tim Barnes especially noticed more customers on nights that tend to be slow on regular weeknights.

Though the World Series and MLB season have come to an end, these businesses along with many more hope that the success they saw over the past few weeks will continue going forward.

Kansas State football coach Bill Snyder lands in political pileup
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MANHATTAN — Popular Kansas State football coach Bill Snyder found himself in the middle of a nasty late-in-the-game political pileup after he was filmed praising incumbent Republican Sen. Pat Roberts and the video was used in a campaign ad.
Roberts, a Kansas State alumnus and devout fan of the team and its coach, is locked in a close re-election battle with independent challenger Greg Orman.
How better to score a late campaign edge than to seize on Snyder, who is credited with turning around one of the nation's worst major college football programs? Snyder is so revered that both the stadium where the team plays and the highway leading into Manhattan from Interstate 70 are named after him.
In the ad, Snyder is asked who he would vote for. "My good friend Pat Roberts, of course," he replies, adding that Roberts has worked hard for the state.
Kansas State President Kirk Schulz reminded school employees not to endorse political candidates and instructed staff to contact the Roberts campaign to take down the ad, according to an email given to The Associated Press and other news outlets.
But the coach's unusual foray into politics raised eyebrows at the university.
Schulz also described Snyder in an email as "unaware it was going to be used in such a fashion and was apologetic for the
resulting issues."
THE MATH IS SIMPLE $143 per credit hour
Roberts campaign spokesman Corry Bliss said Saturday that "we haven't been contacted by the university." And Snyder said after the No. 11 Wildcats' 48-14 victory over Oklahoma State on Saturday night that he would prefer that the advertisement no longer run.

"I made a mistake," Snyder said, when questioned about the endorsement by The Associated Press. "I'm not going to delve into it, how exactly everything happened. I made a mistake. I embarrassed the university. That's my responsibility. That's my error."
Barton Community College is an equal opportunity provider and employer. Visit equal.bartonccc.edu for more information.
Ross Jensby, a 23-year-old senior at Kansas State, said he does not fault Snyder for the statement supporting Roberts when approached in Manhattan on Saturday.
Fans of the program quickly came to Snyder's defense Saturday.
"He can do what he wants," Jensby said. "I don't think he was trying to do anything wrong."
Kathy Johnston, a 57-year-old Wichita resident and Kansas State football fan, said she was surprised by Snyder's endorsement. But she said it would not sway her vote, which will go to Orman.

Meanwhile, Orman blamed Roberts for the flap.
"That's just once again another demonstration of how the Roberts campaign is willing to distort the record and ultimately use people, as they have with coach Snyder," Orman said.

ship at first. But it's starting to get better," she said.
Sarah Kirk, director of the KU Psychological Clinic, said anxiety, depression and sadness are common effects of homesickness. She advises getting adequate sleep, eating well and exercising to help prevent hitting real lows.
She said she knows it can be hard for some students to adopt a physical fitness routine.
Kirk also said it's not unusual for students to eat and sleep poorly in college, getting them out of the healthier routines many had when they lived at home.
"Some people are intimidated by the Rec Center, for example," Kirk said. "It's a very nice, big place, but they just aren't quite ready to immerse themselves in that just yet. I think their health can be affected because they might not engage in some of the healthy habits they were because they weren't quite sure how to establish that here — whether it is joining a gym, getting into intramurals or going to the Rec Center."
"A lot of [students] end up waking when it's sunniest outside, they wake midday," Kirk said. "Then they stay up late at night, which then contributes to health issues and sleep disruption, but it can also contribute to depression through not having as much experience with the sunlight cycle."
For Tess Virden, a freshman from Golden, Colo., the best salve has been making new friends. Virden said the first two weeks at the University were very difficult because she came without knowing anyone from her hometown. She spent a lot of time with her roommate, and since then has formed strong relationships with the other students living on her floor in Oliver Hall.
When it comes to her favorite experience at the University so far, she credits the closeness of her floor when it comes to combating feelings of homesickness.
Ryan Meek, a third year resident assistant at Ellsworth Hall, said Virden's investment in new friends is what he encourages most. He also tries to help students rely less on others and become more self-reliant.
"We go down and eat dinner together, do homework together and just spend a lot of time as a group. By getting away, I have made a whole new group of friends, in a new and different place," Virden said.
"When you get your degree and head out into the real world, your parents, brothers and sisters won't always be there," Meek said. "I have to get them to understand that and gain a sense of independence."

Kansas senior forward Chelsea Gardner puts up a shot against a Fort Hays State defender as senior forward Bunny Williams looks on. Sunday's game was the first of two exhibition games to start the season.
Women's basketball rewind: Fort Hays State
KIRSTEN PETERSON
@KeepUpWithKP
PLAYER OF THE GAME:
Senior forward Chelsea Gardner led the Jayhawks with 23 points and a game-high 10 rebounds. Gardner isn't a stranger to double-doubles, as this game marked her 19th. Gardner is an impact player. Even Fort Hays State coach Tony Hobson said his team had to start double-teaming Gardner in order to "take her out of her rhythm a little bit," but even with the extra attention from Fort Hays she managed to control at both ends of the court.
PLAYER WHO STRUGGLED:
It was tough to find a problem with the Jayhawks on Sunday, but if one looks hard, sophomore guard Keyla Morgan could have had better luck from the field, being 0-4 in field goal attempts and 0-2 from the three-point line. Morgan more than made up for the miscues by stacking up six boards total, with five of them being defensive rebounds.
UNSUNG HERO:
Freshman guard Terriell Bradley came off the bench to have a great opening game for the season with 10 total baskets. Terriell's aggressiveness was something the
Jayhawks needed in order to keep a steady rhythm, which will be key this season. At the postgame press' conference, coach Bonnie Henrickson commented on Bradley's aggressiveness.
"She's a playmaker and she finishes at the rim. I was impressed about how aggressive she was," Henrickson said.
Fort Hays State center Kate Lehman had a great performance with 17 points and six rebounds, and went 6-11 from the field goal range. Lehman helped the Tigers keep pace with the Jayhawks in the second half by scoring 11 points. A very impressive performance from a great competitor.
PLAYER KANSAS
COULDN'T CONTAIN:
MOVING FORWARD:
The Jayhawks need to play defense with their feet, avoid reach-in fouls and have better control over the ball. With 21 personal fouls and 24 turnovers, coach Henrickson says it's on the staff to teach the team how to keep the other team off of the free throw line. The team also needs to be more aware of their surroundings and have an eye down the court at all times. There were many missed opportunities throughout the game due to bad visibility on the ball han-
dler's part.
The Jayhawks had a solid season opening first half, raking in 43 points and 25 total rebounds. Gardner won the opening tip, leading to an easy layup that set the tone for the game. Gardner started the game out strong, scoring 12 points for the Jayhawks. Kansas had 12 turnovers while Fort Hays State had 10.
FIRST HALF SUMMARY:
Fort Hays State stepped onto the court as a brand new team in the second half, keeping pace with the lady Jayhawks both scoring 30 points. Kansas and Fort Hays State scrapped for a loose ball with players diving all over the floor, then the Jayhawks regained control and passed it over to Gardner for the easy layup. That play is a prime example as to how the Jayhawks had the edge the whole game. Fort Hays State guard Chelsea Mason was 4-12 from the field goal range and 2-7 from the arc. She was the second highest scorer for the Tigers, one point behind Lehman. Gardner was 5-11 from the field goal range and scored 11 total points and seven rebounds. Senior guard Natalie Knight had six points and three rebounds.
SECOND HALF SUMMARY:

Senior Guard Asia Boyd fights to the basket between two Fort Hays State defenders during the first half of the Jayhawks' first exhibition game of the season.
Gardner's double-double leads to lopsided victory
SCOTT CHASEN
@SChasenKU
SCOTT CHASEN
The Kansas women's basketball team opened its season with an exhibition game against Fort Hays State on Sunday at Allen Fieldhouse. The Jayhawks were simply too much for the Tigers, as Kansas led wire-to-wire, earning a 21-point victory.
Chelsea Gardner took over the game right away, scoring eight of the first 13 points for the Jayhawks. Gardner's early productivity caused Fort Hays State coach Tony Hobson to commit to double-teaming, and at times even triple-teaming, her in the post, which was not something he expected to do coming into the game.
"We're not accustomed to ever double-teaming in the post [because] Kate Lehman is the top post player in our conference and maybe in Division II basketball," Hobson said in the post game press conference. "But she doesn't play against players like Chelsea Gardner very often, so we wanted to give her a little help."
Despite facing multiple defenders, Gardner would end up with 23 points and 10 rebounds in 26 minutes of play. After the game, Gardner said she was pleased with how she had played against the added pressure.
Gardner wasn't the only one to make a big impact in the game. Freshman Lauren Aldridge joined Gardner and three other seniors in the starting lineup, and she played fairly well. Aldridge scored seven points, but it was her control of the offense that really impressed Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson.
"I thought I handled it well," Gardner said. "[I was] just looking out and trying not to score over the double team, [but rather] making the right passes out to my teammates."
"[Aldridge] played with confidence, ran a good offense and made good decisions," Henrickson said. "[She] called plays more than I thought [she would]; I've had young point guards who looked to me [to call a play] more, but she just went."
It wasn't a perfect night for the Jayhawks. They ended with 24 turnovers, a mark they hit just one time last year in a loss against TCU. Nerves may have played a role in committing so many errors, as Kansas' three freshman guards accounted for nine of the team's 24 turnovers.
"There were a little nerves," said freshman guard Terriell Bradley after the game. "[It wasn't until] my first shot fell that I got into a little rhythm."
The Jayhawks will look to improve on their ball handling, and they'll have their first opportunity to do so Sunday, as they'll take on Washburn at Allen Fieldhouse. The last time those two teams met, the Jayhawks won by 22, as Angel Goodrich recorded 11 points, six assists and six steals. The game against Washburn will be the last exhibition contest for Kansas before the Jayhawks open regular season play against the South Dakota Coyotes, who went 19-14 last year.

Kansas' rushing game suffered in loss to Baylor
BLAIR SHEADE
@realblairsheady
ine Jayhawks started the game weakened at the running back position as junior running back DeAndre Mann didn't make the trip to Waco, Texas, because of an ankle injury. Freshman Corey Avery was the lead back, leaving the Jayhawks without a short-yardage power back.
Avery struggled to be a three-down back with 11 carries for 18 yards. Avery rushed for 1.6 yards per carry and didn't have a single rush over seven yards, which were both season-lows for the freshman.
In the absence of Mann, senior wide receiver Tony Pierson, who averaged two carries per game, handled nine carries from the backfield. Pierson's 31 yards on the ground led the Jayhawks. The more carries Pierson saw, the less he lined up at wide receiver. Pierson caught one pass for 1 yard.
Pierson and Avery aren't bruising backs and aren't effective in short yardage. On a 4th-and-3 in the third quarter, offensive coordinator John Reagan replaced Avery with senior linebacker Ben Heeney, who played running back in high school. Heeney was stopped behind the line of scrimmage for his first carry of the season and his college career. Reagan was trying anything to get the offense moving.
Reagan decided to focus on the passing game, while the rushing attack failed to hit 100 yards for the first game this season. Reagan was forced to pass because Kansas had to continuously play from behind.
Baylor took a commanding 13-0 lead with nine minutes left in the first quarter, which could be a reason for Kansas throwing 15 times in the first quarter. Once Baylor broke out into a two-score lead, the Jayhawks had a tough time keeping up — if you couldn't tell by the score.
The Baylor offense outrushed Kansas by 310 yards. Baylor's backup quarterback Seth Russell rushed for more yards than the entire Kansas team and all his carries came in the fourth quarter. One
The only bright spot about the game was the play of redshirt junior Michael Cummings. Beside his two fumbles, he completed 21 of 30 for 288 and two touchdowns. Cummings out-threw Baylor quarterback Bryce Petty, but Petty only played three quarters.
The strongest suit in the Kansas offense has been the running game this season. Kansas averaged 151 rushing yards per game, but the No. 12 Baylor Bears shut down the Kansas ground game Saturday.
The Jayhawks rushed as a team for a season-low 16 rushing yards in the 60-14 loss to Baylor.
of those carries was a 4-yard touchdown run.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Alex Smith insisted he was looking for Dwayne Bowe in the end zone, a rarity considering the Chiefs quarterback has yet to throw a touchdown pass to a wide receiver this season.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith (11) hands off the ball to running back Jamaal Charles (25) in the first half of an NFL football game against the New York Jets in Kansas City, Mo., on Sunday.

The pass was batted at the line of scrimmage by Jets linebacker Calvin Pace. It bounced right into the hands of tight end Anthony Fasano, who had been blocked to the ground, and he rolled over across the goal-line for a touchdown that extended the Chiefs' lead to two scores.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
What happened next in their 24-10 victory over the lets on Sunday was even rarer.
Just the kind of play that's been going Kansas City's way during a three-game win streak — and the kind that has been going against New York during its eight-game skid.
"I don't know what to say," Smith said, smiling. "A freaky play."
The Jets' losing streak is their longest since 1996, when they went 1-15 in their final year under Rich Kotite. The franchise has never lost nine in a row, an embarrassment embattled coach Rex Ryan and his troops will try to avoid next Sunday against Pittsburgh.
"I thought it was typical of how this season's gone for us," Ryan said of the bizarre bounce that led to Fasano's touchdown. "That's what I thought."
Smith finished with 199 yards and two touchdowns passing, and Jamaal Charles
Starting his first game with the Jets (1-8) in place of Geno Smith, Michael Vick threw for 196 yards and a touchdown. He briefly left early in the fourth quarter after taking a massive hit from the Chiefs' Josh Mauga and walking unsteadily off the field, but returned to finish.
Simons had to play one the ground, but it was cool," Vick said. "Initially, I was dinged for a minute. But I respect the NFL rules and the concussion protocol. I went through it. I took all the appropriate steps and I passed all the tests and I came back."
New York actually moved the ball well through gusty conditions, utilizing Percy Harvin in the running and passing games. But the Jets kept misfiring deep in Chiefs territory, settling for a field goal just before halftime and then turning it over on downs at the Kansas City 3 early in the fourth quarter — Vick was injured on that fourth-down play.
ran for another score for the Chiefs (5-3), who won for the fifth time in six games on the same day that former running back Priest Holmes was inducted into their ring of honor.
Smith was inactive with a shoulder injury, so Matt Simms had to play one series.
In all, the Jets were stopped on fourth down three times in the fourth quarter.
"We had some opportunities and we didn't capitalize on them," said Vick, who will start next Sunday against Pittsburgh. "Whenever that happens, and the other team
The Chiefs set the tempo from the opening drive, moving 81 yards in relative ease. Charles was the workhorse, carrying six times and capping the drive with a 1-yard TD plunge.
does capitalize on theirs, you don't finding yourself winning the game."
With first-and-goal at the 2-yard line, Smith's pass was knocked down by Pace. But the nice defensive play sent the ball right to Fasano, who caught the inadvertent pass on his rump, rolled over the goal line and gave the Chiefs a stunning — if not humorous — touchdown for a 14-0 lead.
After the Chiefs forced three-and-out, it took them just seven more plays to score again — this time on a play that encapsulated the way everything has been going right for Kansas City, and the way everything has been going wrong for New York.
Meanwhile, the Chiefs' defense was getting after Vick every time he dropped to pass.
Justin Houston, who had 4 1/2 sacks of Vick when he faced the Eagles a year ago, had two more on the elusive quarterback Sunday. Defensive tackle Dontari Poe also tracked Vick down for a sack, all before Mauga knocked him from the game with his crushing blow in the fourth quarter.
The only bright spot for the Jets was the play of Harvin, who caught 11 passes for 129 yards in his second game since getting traded from Seattle.

Iowa State game a must-win for Bowen, Kansas
Following the 60-14 embarrassment to No.13 Baylor in Waco, Texas, coach Clint Bowen and the Kansas football team face Iowa State in Lawrence on Saturday. The Cyclones are coming off their own disappointing loss Saturday, suffering a 59-14 loss to No.18 Oklahoma at home.
The matchup Saturday could very well be the Jayhawks' last legitimate chance to pick up a conference win this season. It also could be the last chance for Bowen to bolster his case to return as head coach next year.
In Bowen's four losses as interim head coach, he has made a few successful moves, one being the quarterback change from Montell Cozart to Michael Cummings.
By GJ Melia
@gjmelia
In Bowen's four losses as interim
head coach, he has brought a newfound enthusiasm to practices and on the sidelines during games. This has boosted team morale on and off the field, which has lead to stronger performances in games.
His move to bench quarterback Montell Cozart and play Michael Cummings has been for the better, with Cummings throwing for over 230 yards in three games as the starter.
Before Saturday, Kansas had yet to be truly blown out with Bowen at the helm. The team played opponents competitively, something Weis lacked in his two losses this season (Duke 41-3, Texas 23-0). Bowen's four games have been against much stiffer competition. These include close losses to Texas Tech and a ranked Oklahoma State team, where the Jayhawks were within six points in the fourth quarter of both games.
Iowa State sits at 0-5 in the Big 12, and 2-6 overall — the same as Kansas. The game will be in Lawrence this year, and I say this may be the last shot for a Jayhawk win because of their three games following Iowa State.
They host No. 7 TCU, then travel to Norman, Okla., and Manhattan to face Oklahoma and the ninth-ranked Kansas State Wildcats, debatably three of Kansas' toughest games of the season.
Saturday will be a battle of the bottom two teams in the Big 12, and the loser will likely finish last in the Big 12 at the conclusion of the season. If the Jayhawks were to fall, they'd be well on their way to a fifth-straight last place finish in the Big 12. It would also likely lead to the third season in five years where the team finished without a conference win.
Regardless how much more competitive the team has played since Weis' departure, Bowen has yet to take home a W as the Kansas head coach. If he wants to return next year, he needs to win, at the very least, one game in the final four of 2014.

Led by a fifth place finish from the Big 12 newcomer of the year, transfer junior Jacob Morgan, the men's cross country team finished fifth at the Big 12 Championship meet Saturday at Rim Rock Farm.
Morgan, who also was named to the All-Big 12 team for his fifth place finish, stayed with front-runners for nearly the entire race. Morgan was pushed by his teammates, senior James Wilson and freshman Chris Melagres, who both found themselves ahead of Morgan throughout the race. Morgan finished just eight seconds out of the lead, with an 8k time of 24:16.2.
Following Morgan was Wilson, who finished 21st overall, with a time of 24:49.7, and Melgares, who finished nine spots later with a time of 25:00.2 Also finishing in the top five finishers for Kansas were sophomore Tyler Yunk and freshman Carson Vickroy. Yunk took 38th with a 25:24.1 time, while Vickroy's time of
25:37.5 was good enough for a 45th-place finish.
On the women's side, sophomore Nashia Baker led the Jayhawks the whole time. Baker finished 36th with a 21:40.7, and had a fellow Jayhawk, sophomore Rachel Simon, on her tail for the duration of the race. Simon finished only 0.4 seconds behind Baker, with a time of 21:41.1 for a 37th place finish. Just behind Baker and Simon was sophomore Kelli McKenna, who placed 40th with a 6K time of 21:46.1.
Following the first three sophomores were sophomore Courtney Coppinger and freshman Alaina Shroeder. Coppinger placed 45th with a 21:52.5 time, while Schroeder's 21:58.6 finished 50th. Overall, the women took eighth place at the Big 12 Championship.
From here, the Jayhawks are beginning to prepare for the NCAA Midwest Regional Championships, which will be hosted by Bradley University in Peoria, Ill., on Friday.

Kansas volleyball loses to TCU in five-set match
MATT CORTE
@Corte_UDK
Both Kansas and TCU volleyball came into Saturday with impressive wins in the teams' previous matches, but only TCU was able to see its winning streak last another day.
The Jayhawks (16-7, 4-5) swept and handled TCU with ease two weeks ago in Lawrence, but lost Saturday in Fort Worth, Texas, losing 25-19, 25-18, 20-25, 23-25, 16-18. Kansas is now 0-5 in five-set matches this season.
The win for the Horned Frogs (14-10, 4-6) was the team's second in a row after losing four straight from Oct. 11-22.
For Kansas, the loss meant falling below .500 in conference play again this season. The loss was also the team's second in its last three Big 12 matches.
"There were different blocking formations and different things, but we were just making unforced errors," coach Ray Bechard said. "So
disappointing to play at that level in the first two sets, and then not able to sustain it."
Albeit in a loss, one of the best aspects about this Kansas team is that all 14 players can make a difference.
Sophomore middle Janae Hall hadn't played in a match since Oct. 10 against Baylor, but took advantage of a starting opportunity by finishing with 13 kills on 23 attacks, good for a .391 hitting percentage.
"Janae was great offensively," Bechard said. "Obviously, we could have done more defensively, but she held up her end of the deal offensively."
Kansas breezed to win both the first and second sets behind a strong .433 hitting percentage. However, the team finally found a worthy opponent in TCU during set three.
Down 2-9 and 9-16, the Jayhawks kept chipping away at TCU's early lead until closing within three points at 19-22.
Unfortunately, the early deficit proved to be too much
to overcome, as TCU closed out the set winning three of the last four points.
Set four featured what any volleyball fan hopes for and what the match had lacked: a back and forth, point-for-point battle.
Once again, TCU was able to build just enough of a lead at 24-20 to secure a win, though not before a Jayhawk comeback pushed it to 23-24.
Fifth sets have not been kind to Kansas so far this season, with the team losing all four of its chances to date, and TCU was no exception.
The Jayhawks had the match within grasp twice at 15-14 and 16-15, but were unable to hold on after a service error by Addison Barry tied it at 15, and a TCU kill tied it up at 16.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
After Chelsea Albers' attacking error put TCU up 17-16, the Horned Frogs closed out the set and match 18-16 with a block on Kansas sophomore middle Tayler Soucie.

Swimming and diving wins first Big 12 dual since 2012
Five different Jayhawks took home the gold in at least two events Saturday to put the Kansas swimming and diving team over Texas Christian University (172-124) and North Dakota (217-79).
AMIE JUST
@Amie_Just
The win against TCU was the first time Kansas has defeated a Big 12 opponent in a dual meet since 2012. The last time it happened was when Kansas beat TCU in the Horned Frogs' inaugural Big 12 season. Chances to beat conference opponents are rare, since Kansas doesn't face every conference team each year, except TCU and Iowa State.
Junior Chelsie Miller set the pace by winning three individual races: 200-yard butterfly, 500-yard freestyle and 200-yard IM.
"We haven't had a Big 12 win in a long time, so it was really
Hinde touched the wall first in 100-yard and 200-yard breaststroke. Jones won both the 1-meter and 3-meter diving events. Kuchkarova finished first in both the 100-yard and 200-yard backstroke. Molden took home wins in both the 100-yard and 200-yard freestyle.
Junior Bryce Hinde, sophomore Graylyn Jones, sophomore Yulya Kuchkarova and junior Haley Molden all won two individual events Saturday.
nice to beat TCU," Miller said. "I was really happy. My 200 fly was a second slower, but for this time of the season that time is pretty good. I was really impressed with my 500 free. I don't think I've ever broken five minutes during the season, especially this early in the season."
"We wanted to make an improvement from last week to this week in a couple of areas and I feel like we were
able to do that across the board." Campbell said. "We had a lot of people swim well above where they were last week, which is good and the improvement we wanted to see."
The Jayhawks won all but three events Saturday.
TCU's sophomore Julia-Grace Sanders cruised to victory in the 50-yard freestyle. TCU's freshman Emily Gibson outtouched Kansas' senior Deanna Marks in the 100-yard butterfly. TCU's 400-yard freestyle relay of senior Ashley Alspaugh, junior Carley Stevens, junior Sara Brrozowski and sophomore Ashley Dyke took home the gold.
Next up for Kansas is its dual against Illinois. The Illini come to the Robinson Natatorium on Saturday with the first event set to take place at 1 p.m.

Sporting KC wraps up season with playoff loss to New York
CHRISTIAN HARDY
@HardyNFL
When Sporting Kansas City began its 2014 playoff run, it wanted to start an entirely new season. For the first 77 minutes of soccer against the New York Red Bulls, it looked like the team had done just that, with a 1-0 lead at that time.
Then the team was reminded of its depleted nature: injuries, bruises and fatigue from a packed late-season schedule. Those things, along with New York striker Bradley Wright-Phillips, sent Kansas City winding in the last 12 minutes of play.
The 29-year-old Golden Boot winner netted two goals in the closing minutes of the Eastern Conference play-in round to give him 29 goals on the season. When the final whistle blew, New York had punched its ticket to the Eastern Conference semifinals to face D.C. United with a 2-1 win against Sporting KC, while the Blues' hopes of a repeat title were diminished.
For Kansas City, it was a rocky, drawn-out season marred with injuries, a packed schedule of games and international duty, which forced players to start at nonsensical positions through the duration. But it was a season that also saw Dom Dwyer emerge as an elite goal-scorer in the MLS. Here's 10 things we learned from the season, including a glimpse into next season.
SEASON-ENDING INJURIES:
The injury problem for manager Peter Vermes took its toll before the season even got into full swing. Center back Ike Opara was diagnosed with a chondral defect in his right ankle in April, a month before starting wing back Chance Myers ruptured his Achilles tendon both defenders missed the remainder of the season. Homegrown Kevin Ellis and Brazilian transfer Igor Julião were more heavily relied upon with Opara and Myers out of the mix.
INCONSISTENT GOALKEEPING:
INCONSISTENT GOALKEEPING:
After winning the MLS
Cup in 2013, Jimmy Nielsen
retired, leaving a big gap
between the pipes for Sporting
KC. Eric Kronberg, Andy
Gruenebaum and Jon Kempin
all got shuffled around
THE DECLINE OF
THE BACK LINE:
in the goal this season. Kronberg started the season in goal, and at the halfway mark of 2014, led the league in shutouts and goals against before breaking his finger in training in July. His return was shaky as he allowed two goals in each of the final four contests while Gruenebaum was sidelined with a hamstring injury.
At one point this year, Matt Besler and Aurelien Collin were considered the best pair of center backs in MLS. But over the final stretch of the season, they struggled mightily, especially against Wright-Phillips, who notched four goals in the last two games against Sporting KC. Part of that could be due to Besler's thigh injury and Collin's ankle injury, which had both missing time in early October, or the fact that the full back line only played four games together this season. But, regardless, their play was, without a doubt, subpar late in the season, where the team didn't record a clean sheet in any of its last three games.
PLAYERS ON
INTERNATIONAL DUTY:
Besler's aforementioned thigh injury was picked up in international duty with the United States team against Honduras in October, and he played with the team during the World Cup in the summer. Midfielder Graham Zusi also played with Besler on the national team. The team was 2-3-2 while Zusi and Besler were on international duty.
BESLER AND ZUSI SIGNED EXTENSIONS WITH THE CLUB:
EXTENSIONS WITH THE CLUB:
This news came right after solid World Cup performances from both of the Sporting Kansas City centerpieces. Each of them were receiving plenty of international attention before Sporting KC signed them to deals through 2018. Each are due $650,000 next season — a major discount for Kansas City.
THERE WAS NO LATE-SEASON MOMENTUM THIS YEAR.
MOMENTUM Sporting Kansas City went into last year's playoff run without a single loss in October. That led to the team hoisting the MLS Cup. This
season, the blues were 1-1-4 across all competitions in their last seven games. That led to a late season collapse which saw the team fall from the No.2 seed to the No.5 in just over two weeks.
THIS TEAM PLAYED A LOT OF GAMES THIS SEASON:
Sporting KC played 44 games this year from March to October, two more than in 2013. That might not sound significant, but it mattered down the stretch. The team played five games in the final 20 days of the season for an average of a match every four days. Couple that with the injuries to Benny Feilhaber, Juliaao and Gruenebaum late in the season, and the team had little chance for success with the amount of fatigue on its shoulders.
SPORTING KC WAS REALLY GOOD ON THE ROAD IN 2014:
It was the second straight year that Sporting KC really showed out on the road, posting the only positive goal difference on the road in the entire Eastern Conference in both seasons. The team was 8-1-8 in MLS away games, but only 6-6-5 when coming back home. The team notched more points for standings on the road (25) than it did at Sporting Park (24).
DOM DWYER IS IN AN ELITE TIER OF MLS GOAL SCORER:
Some could have seen Dwyer coming on at the end of last season, but it's unlikely that anyone saw this explosion coming from Dwyer. The 24-year-old notched 22 goals in regular-season MLS play, second behind only Wright-Phillips in the Golden Boot chase. He set new team records for goals in an MLS season and in goals across all competitions (24).
MOVING BACK TO THE WEST FOR 2015:
The expansion of the MLS sent Sporting KC and Dallas FC packing for the West. It means a tough schedule against three of MLS' elite: the Seattle Sounders, Los Angeles Galaxy, and Real Salt Lake. For fans, it may mean later nights, as many games will be starting at 8 p.m. or 9 p.m., an hour or two later than the regular 7 p.m. starts in the East.

Mason is the most experienced point guard on Kansas' roster. He is a quick pitbull-type player who cuts to the paint and has good court vision. Mason averaged 5.5 points per game last season.
★★★☆☆
M. RAVINALI
Wayne Selden, Jr.
SO.. GUARD
Coming off of an injury-riddled season, Selden will look to get off to a fast start. The athletic wingman averaged 10.2 points per game last season. Selden will have to do better than that this season as he will have to step up into a larger role.
★★★★☆
M. NAZARO
Kelly Oubre, Jr.

Obre is a long athletic freshman who has large shoes to fill this season. With a similar play style and body type to Andrew Wiggins, the comparisons are bound to be made. He averaged 22 points per game in his senior season at Findlay High School.
★★★★☆
PETER SMITH
Perry Ellis JR., FORWARD
Perry is the go-to-guy for Kansas' offense this season. Ellis averaged 13.5 points per game last season as the team's second option. With more shots coming his way, that number will likely increase. Look for Ellis to have a big opening game against Washburn.
★★★★
PETER RICHAEL
Cliff Alexander FR., FORWARD
As a senior in high school, Alexander averaged 13.3 points and 9.8 rebounds per game. Alexander will be Kansas' go-to big man down low. Against a smaller Washburn side, Alexander shouldn't have any trouble dominating the glass.

POLYTECHNIC
Kyle Wiggins SR., GUARD
Kyle Wiggins was the starting point guard for Washburn last season. Wiggins led the Ichabods with four assists per game and was second in scoring (16 ppg). "Wiggins, who is 6-foot-3, will give the smaller Kansas guards trouble because of his length — he averaged one steal per game last season.
★★★☆☆
NBA
Korey Fisher
SR.. GUARD
The senior guard didn't start last season, but will fit into the two-guard role easily. Fisher shot above 40 percent from three and shot close to 80 percent from the free-throw line. In order for the Ichabod offense to be productive, Fisher will have to score more than his seven-point average.
★★☆☆
POLICE
Chris Davis SR.,GUARD
Davis is another non-starter from last season. He averaged five points and two rebounds as a junior. With the expanded playing time, Davis will have more chances to contribute to the Ichabod offense, but against Kansas' tough man-to-man defense, he will find it difficult to create his own shot.
★ ☆ ☆ ☆
A
Christian Ulsaker JR., FORWARD
The lone junior in the starting lineup is the Ichabods' best 3-point shooter and free-throw shooter. Ulsaker averaged four rebounds last season and didn't have a single block all season, despite his 6-foot-5 frame
★★☆☆★
Alex North SR.. FORWARD
North is the Ichabods' best player. He averaged 16 points and 10 rebounds, team highs in both categories. He shot 46 percent from 3-point range, and at 6-foot-6, he is the tallest starter on Washburn. If the Kansas big men don't follow North beyond the arc, he will knock down the long-range jumpers.

COMMENTARY
Kansas football cannot afford mistakes committed against Baylor
By Stella Liang
@Stelly Liang
Losing to Baylor is nothing to be ashamed of. Losing to Baylor while committing numerous mistakes and practically giving up points is another story.
To have a chance at defeating the 12th-ranked Bears in Waco, Texas, the Jayhawks needed to play a nearly perfect game. Instead, Kansas went and shot itself in the foot. By the end of the first quarter, Baylor was leading 20-7 and the result was all but decided.
Kansas came into the game with only one lost fumble, but lost three in Saturday's matchup. The first fumble set the tone early.
Baylor was already up 7-0 less than five minutes into the game by way of an 11-second scoring drive when Kansas started a drive at its own 28-yard line. Three short plays later, the Jayhawks coughed up the ball, and Baylor recovered at the Kansas 18-yard line. The Bears capitalized, and all of a sudden, it was 13-0 (Baylor missed the point after attempt).
The Bears can score too easily, and the Jayhawks could not afford to give them more opportunities to do so. In total, three of Baylor's 11 scoring drives started at the Kansas 26-vard line or closer.
Take another example of a mistake.
Late in the first half, Baylor had made its way to the Kansas 1-yard line. Along the way, Kansas had lost Keon Stowers to injury. When Baylor running back Devin Chafin was stuffed on third down, Baylor decided to go for it.
So it was a 4th-and-one situation. The Jayhawk defense sent out only 10 players, and Chafin scored easily.
Honestly, the final result would have most likely been the same if Kansas hadn't committed any fumbles, penalties or other blunders. In the end, Baylor was almost unstoppable, but how it happens does matter.
Interim coach Clint Bowen says every week the players and the team can only control what they do. He preaches fundamentals and giving fans a product they want to watch.
None of that happened Saturday.
Kansas couldn't control how well Baylor played, but the Jayhawks could control what they did. They could hold on to the ball. They could be on the field when they were supposed to be.
In the three previous losses under Bowen, there were encouraging signs. The lajyhawks kept close with a ranked team. They had some fight on the road. Against Baylor, it seemed like there was no fight.
Kansas never looked like it had a chance. Even worse, the Jayhawks looked like they were trying to help the Bears win.

Baylor Bears defeat Jayhawks 60-14 in Waco, Texas, on Saturday
SHANE JACKSON
@JacksonShane3
Big plays became the Achilles heel for the Kansas Jayhawks in Waco, Texas. The Baylor Bears used their juggernaut of an offense, and its ability to travel the length of the field in a short period of time to trounce the Jayhawks 60-14 on Saturday.
"We knew we were playing a very good football team , " interim coach Clint Bowen said. "We had to come out and match that,

Coming into Saturday's matchup, the Jayhawks praised the defensive unit as the strength of the team. The Jayhawks defense had kept them in many games with its ability to maintain those big plays.

Kansas may have not been able to match stat for stat with the juggernaut offense, but they put up a respectable fight. They had a total of 304 yards on offense.
In fact junior quarterback Michael Cummings statistically was on par with the Heisman candidate. Petty completed 15 of his 27 pass attempts for 277 yards and three touchdowns. Cummings was 21-for-30 with 288 yards and a pair of passing touchdowns.
On the ground, the Jayhawks gained just 16 yards on 27 carries. Leading up to Saturday, Kansas was tied for first in the country with the fewest lost fumbles but coughed it up three times Saturday.
"You have to take care of the
football," Bowen said.
If Kansas' defense can go back to not surrendering the big plays and the offense continues to improve, they could put themselves in pretty good position to win their first conference game of the year.
"We're going to go right back to work tomorrow," Bowen said. "We have a plan to work, continue to prepare and continue to try and win football games."

Teammates react to Frankamp's transfer
ALANA FLINN
@Alana_Finn
Sophomore guard Conner Frankamp announced on Friday that he will be transferring from the University of Kansas once the semester is over, and will leave the basketball team immediately.
While rumors of the transfer circulated throughout campus, no one seemed more surprised than his fellow teammates to find out the official news.
"It came as a shock to me," junior guard Wayne Selden said. "He's a great person and player to be around. We became best friends, and this is the business we're in, this is what it is. It's hard to han-
Junior forward Perry Ellis, who played against Conner Frankamp in high school in Wichita, was also surprised by Frankamp's decision.
ute this when you don't see it coming, to grasp not having him there in the locker room, it'll hurt."
Frankamp said he's been thinking about this decision "for a while now." He is happy at Kansas, but wants to play at a school where he could play contribute more to the team.
"I didn't see it coming," Ellis said. "He was doing real well, but only he knows what's best for himself."
"I love KU and I love the jayhawks," Frankamp said. "I feel like I've improved quite a bit since I've been here. I love my
teammates but I just don't feel like it's the right fit for me. We have many good guards and so many big-time players. I want to be at a place where I could play a bigger role."
"Only yourself knows what you want to do and need to do. We're all behind him, we all support him and we're all going to miss him."
PERRY ELLIS Junior forward
Playing time for Frankamp wasn't guaranteed now, or
even in the coming years.
Frankamp was part of a crowded backcourt for Kansas that includes plenty of young talent. Freshmen Devonte Graham, Kelly Oubre, Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk and sophmores Brannen Greene, Frank Mason and Selden are all in the mix to receive playing time this season at the guard position this season.
Ellis said the team supports Frankamp's decision.
Frankamp averaged 8.3 minutes and 2.5 points per game last season.
"Only yourself knows what you want to do and need to do," Ellis said. "We're all behind him, we all support him and we're all going to miss him."
His ability to shoot from long-range will especially be missed. In limited playing time, Frankamp made 15 3-pointers for the Jayhawks last season, including four in the NCAA Tournament Round of 32 game against Stanford.
Selden said he will have to play more at guard to help fill the gap of Frankamp. As one of the most experienced at the position, Selden will also be expected become show more leadership, too.
"I feel a little faster, a little stronger," Selden said. "Guys are looking to me for the leadership and to fill that role."

SEASON OUTLOOK
Talented freshman trio, returners look to fill the void left by departed players
JACK BROWN
Kansas basketball coach Bill Self speaks to the crowd at Late Night on Oct. 10 in Allen Fieldhouse. Self's recruits for the 2014-15 season include freshmen Cliff Alexander, Devonte' Graham and Kelly Oubre, Jr. Self hopes the trio will help fill the gaps of former players Joel Embiid and Andrew Wiggins.
KYLE PAPPAS
@KylePap
BEN LIPWOWITZ/KANSAN
Kansas has been here before, leading into a new season with major question marks after losing several key players is nothing new for the Jayhawks. Last season, they lost Ben McLemore and Jeff Withey. This season, it's Andrew Wiggins, Joel Imbiid and Naadir Tharpe. Rosters always change — it's college basketball, and that's the nature of the business at this level.
Still, losing two players of Wiggins and Embiid's caliber would cripple most programs, but those programs aren't Kansas. While it certainly hurts, the hawkys routinely boast some of the best recruiting classes in the nation — no loss is too big to recover from.
"[Wiggins and Embiid] are pretty tremendous talents," junior forward Jamari Traylor aid. "It's a long season and everybody is going to have to step on occasion. Some games, he guy is going to have a good game, then it's going to be an either guy who steps up in the text game. We're pretty talentd, so it could be anybody."
"Anybody" could wind up being one of Kansas' new impact freshmen. Forward Cliff Alexander is the most talked-about of the bunch and with good reason — he was ESPN's No. 3 prospect in the Class of 2014. Coach Bill Self compares him to a young Thomas Robinson.
"I see some similarities with Cliff and Thomas," Self said. Cliff is probably a little bigger at the same stage, about the same athletically. Offensively, about the same. There's a lot of similarities in him."
While Alexander will be asked with replacing some of the rebounds and post presence lost with Embiid, freshman guards Devonte' Graham and Kelly Oubre, Jr., should help use the loss of Wiggins.
Graham, a four-star recruit out of North Carolina, was voted the team's best leader at its preseason boot camp and is someone Self said "will be a hard guy to keep out of the lineup" His measurables
aren't off the charts, but he's a solid all-around player who doesn't turn the ball over often — something Kansas has struggled with at the point in seasons past.
Oubre, a five-star recruit from Nevada, was ESPN's No. 11 prospect in the Class of 2014 and described as "one of the two best wing prospects" at LeBron James' Skills Academy in Las Vegas over the summer. He'll provide an immediate impact in what could be his lone season in Lawrence.
"We've got to be able to plug [Oubre] in to take advantage of what he does," Self said. "He can score the ball, but he's so good around the rim, he's so good defensively getting out in the passing lanes, he's such a good offensive rebounder. There are a lot of things he can do well that are not your typical two or three-guard type things."
While the addition of these three freshmen should provide a boost, Self also expects contributions from some players who saw limited minutes last season.
"Landen [Lucas] may have had the best spring and summer of anybody." Self said. "He's going to play. He's fighting for major minutes. He and Cliff are probably, right now, based on what I've seen, going head-to-head for a lot of major minutes."
What exactly the redshirt sophomore forward brings to the table is a bit of an unknown for many. After redshirting his first year, he carved out a tiny niche in Kansas' rotation last season, averaging just under five minutes per game while spelling the lahawks' big men.
At 6 feet 10 inches tall, he's the tallest player on the roster and his rebounding prowess should ensure him significant playing time.
Another returning player who could provide an impact is junior forward Hunter Mickelson.
"He's our best shot blocker," Self said. "Cliff is going to be a good one, but Hunter blocked more shots his last year at Arkansas than Joel [Embiid] did last year, in less minutes."
Following his transfer from Arkansas after the 2012-13 season, Mickelson sat out last season due to NCAA transfer rules. He was the Razorbacks most proficient shot blocker during his two years in Fayetteville — he even set an Arkansas record for consecutive games with a blocked shot to begin a career. Though Self said Mickelson must refine other aspects of his game to see major minutes, he could serve as a nice plug-in when Self wants more length in the paint.
While this Kansas squad doesn't boast any shoe-in lottery picks like last year, it certainly has all of the pieces to compete for its 11th-straight Big 12 title and possibly more. With a desirable blend of newcomers and returnees, it's simply a matter of fitting those pieces together. Given Self's track record with developing new talent, there's little reason to believe this team won't work its way deep in to March.

LUCAS, MICKELSON READY TO HELP
BEN CARROLL
@BCarroll91
Since 2011, KU basketball had the dominant 7-foot big man protecting the paint with Jeff Withey, who holds the Big 12 record for most career blocked shots, and of course Joel Embiid of last year. But this season, without an ideal center, certain Jayhawks will need to step up and play bigger roles than they have in the past.
Certain Jayhawks like sophomore forward Landen Lucas and redshirt junior forward Hunter Mickelson could be those players to make an immediate impact underneath the basket.
Coach Bill Self brought in freshman forward Cliff Alexander, the No. 3 recruit in ESPN's top 100, to play the five in most cases, but Self said Alexander still has a long way to go to be the dominant and physical player he expects him to be, leaving the door wide open for bench players to help Alexander play the role of the big man.
"Landen may have had the best spring and summer of anybody; he's had a good fall, too." Self said on basketball media day last month. "He's going to play. He and Cliff are probably, right now based on what I've seen, going head-to-head for a lot of major minutes."
Lucas hasn't seen much playingtime since high school, but that doesn't mean that he hasn't been learning. Lucas said redshirting his freshman year taught him a lot by observing how players like Withey and Embiid handle themselves in game situations.
"I got a chance to watch people like Jeff and Kevin Young, who did small things, and you get an understanding of what coach is looking for and I think that this year I'll have a chance to apply that." Lucas said on media day. "It's great going against great players this whole time. It works for all of us because that competition, constantly day in and day out, gets you ready for
He has also been teaching the newcomers what it means to wear Kansas across their chest and be a part of the Jayhawk community.
when it is your turn."
"Landen has experience, he's a great player, a great guy and he brings a lot to the table," freshman forward Kelly Oubre said. "He's showed me a lot about myself and a lot about this program."
Lucas said he is ready to step into whatever role Self gives him and make the biggest impact he can.
Self said he doesn't see anyone beating junior forward Perry Ellis out in the four, and is looking for other players to prevent Ellis from playing
the center position and being the primary rebounder and shot blocker. Self hinted that Mickelson could be one of those guys down the road, but added that he will need to play bigger than what he's played in the past because of the needs of the team.
"The reality is Hunter, with his skill set, will have to do some more things in order to see playing time because of what our needs are based on our other personnel," Self said. "He's our best shot blocker. Cliff's going to be a good one, but Hunter blocked more shots his last year at Arkansas than [Embid]d did last year and in less minutes. So he's naturally a pretty good shot blocker."
Michelson said he is ready to play a bigger role with the Jayhawks after sitting out last year due to transfer rules. He went overseas this summer to sharpen his skills.
"They need a guy on defense; hopefully, I'll be a guy that can help out on defense, and if they need someone on offense, hopefully I can do that," Mickelson said. "I'm just an all around good teammate, good attitude, good energy. Just being there and helping everybody out whenever they need it.

Frankamp's exit opens doors for Mason, Graham

@UDK Dan
Over the off-season, the Kansas backcourt became a lot less crowded than most anticipated it to be heading into the 2014-2015 season.
On May 1, coach Bill Self announced that point guard Naadir Tharpe would not be returning for his senior season due to extinuting circumstances in his personal life, and on Oct. 31, sophomore guard Conner Frankamp told Bill Self that he would be leaving the team immediately to finish out the semester before transferring schools in the spring.
In a span of six months, Kansas had lost what figured to be their top two guards.
Tharpe averaged 29.4 minutes per game last season, and would have been the most experienced returning player on this year's roster with 5 assists per game. Frankamp saw his playing time increase late in the season, as he added 10 and 12 points in Kansas' two NCAA tournament games against Eastern Kentucky and
Stanford, respectively.
That leaves sophomores Wayne Selden and Frank Mason, along with freshman Devonte' Graham left in the mix for the 1-guard spot.
Selden saw nearly 30 minutes per game last season, but played primarily on the wing.
"I'll probably have to play more point here and there," Seldon said following the news of Frankamp's departure. "We've got two great point guards here as well. I'm pretty good with that."
---
"I take pride in the defensive end.I have quick feet. It's part of being a leader, starting on the defensive end of the floor."
FRANK MASON Sophomore guard
Those two point guards: Frank Mason and Devonte' Graham, young but talented.
Mason spelled Tharpe at the point for 16.2 minutes
per game last season while Graham spent 2013-2014 with Brewster Academy, the same prep school Tharpe attended in 2010.
Self said that despite losing two solid ball handlers, some good can come out of this for his perimeter players.
"Somebody was going to be left out," Self said. "We've got seven good perimeter players, and really to be quite candid with you, there hasn't been a lot of separation."
It'll start for these guards, as it always does with Bill Self coached teams, on the defensive end of the floor.
"We are looking forward to being a good defensive team," Mason said. "I take pride in the defensive end. I have quick feet. It's part of being a leader, starting on the defensive end of the floor."
"Ive always been a point guard, and leadership has come naturally." Graham said. "I know things, I see things, I talk, I tell people how I think things should be. It starts with
Graham echoes Mason, saying that his leadership is most easily visible on defense.
defense, though."
This team is smaller than in years past, so it'll rely more heavily on the perimeter players and less on its big men, like Joel Embiid, to defend the rim.
"We don't have really tall guys inside so we want to get out and pressure," Mason said. Self thinks the defense will succeed.
"There isn't a seven-foot tall guy to cover mistakes like that," Self said. "But I do think we are going to be able to pressure the ball, deny one pass away, and I think you are going to see a pretty good defensive team."
Despite the losses of Tharpe and Frankamp, Self feels confident that his young guards can stand tall to the challenge.
"Frank can guard. Devonte' can really pressure." Self said. Kansas opens its exhibition slate today as it hosts Washburn.

VS. KENTUCKY NOVEMBER 18
Kansas and Kentucky will face off in the fourth installment of the Champion's Classic in early November. This is a repeat of the first Champion's Classic game in
2012. Kansas is 1-2 all-time in the tournament and will look to get to .500 against Calipari and the Wildcats. Kentucky begins the season as the number one team in the nation while Kansas weighs in at number five. The Wildcats are returning both Harrison twins and have another top three recruiting class. Trey Lyles and Karl Towns lead a class of four five-star recruits.
VS. FLORIDA
Kansas and Florida will go head-to-head during this year's SEC-Big 12 matchup. College Gameday will return to Lawrence as the fifth and seventh preseason ranked teams face off, respectively. Two season ago, Kansas faced Texas for College Gameday and won a fast-paced, exciting game. Florida is bringing in the 13th ranked recruiting class with four nationally

ranked commits. Florida will be searching for on-the-court leadership, as they lost seniors Patric Young and Scottie Wilbekin.
Following contests against Iowa State and Oklahoma, Kansas concludes its toughest portion of its Big 12 schedule by traveling to Austin to take on Texas. The Jayhawks fell 69-81 in their last away game against against the Longhorns,
who were led by point guard Isaiah Taylor's 23 points. With the addition of top prospect Myles Turner, the Jan. 24 matchup is set to be among Kansas' toughest of the season. If the Jayhawks can finish this three-game stretch with two or more wins, they should be in the driver's seat for the conference title.
AT OKLAHOMA MARCH 7
It's not difficult to envision Kansas' final Big 12 game of
the season holding major championship implications. The Sooners return four of their five starters (including preseason All-Big 12 selection Buddy Hield) from last year's squad that finished second in the league with a 12-6 record. Though Kansas won its two matchups against Oklahoma last season, both contests were decided by single digits, and it struggled to contain the Sooners' offense at times. Don't be shocked if the Jayhawks' hopes for an 11th-straight league title rest on the outcome of their final conference matchup in Norman.

FRESHMAN PROFILES
Top-recruiting class ready to make immediate on-the-court impact for Jayhawks
THE CHRONICLE
BENZIE MAYER
CLIFF ALEXANDER
KELLY OUBRE, JR.
M. A. Mwangi
DEVONTE' GRAHAM
SVIATSLOV MYKHAILIUK
BEN FELDERSTEIN
@Ben_Felderstein
Leading the Kansas Jayhawks this season will in large part fall on the shoulders of junior forwards Perry Ellis and Jamari Traylor. They are two of the oldest players on the roster and two of the most respected.
Traylor is a vocal leader, while Ellis is more of the type to lead by example. These two forwards will be responsible for molding another one of the nation's top five recruiting classes.
Among this class are, Cliff Alexander, Kelly Oubre, Devonte Graham and Sviatslov Mykhailiuk, who are a big reason the Jayhawks have the No. nine ranked recruiting class according to ESPN - a year after ranking No. 2 overall. These four players are ready to step in and make an on-the-court difference immediately. With the departure of two of the best talents this school has ever seen in Andrew Wiggins and Joel Embiid, these four freshmen will have very large shoes to fill.
CLIFF ALEXANDER
Alexander is a 6-foot-8, five-star recruit from Curie High School in Chicago. As ESPN's number three overall prospect, he was named the 2014 Naismith Boys High School Player of the Year along
with Mr. Basketball USA
"Cliff is going to be fighting for some big minutes," Bill Self said. "Him and Landon (Lucas) are going to be going after each other for a lot of playing time."
Alexander is stepping into a crowded front court with the likes of Traylor, Ellis, Lucas, and Mickelson. Alexander will be expected to play big minutes and succeed offensively and defensively.
He has the role of replacing two NBA big men, Embiid and Tarik Black. Both men were defensive stoppers and had solid offensive skill sets as well. Alexander looked like he was ready to step into these roles during Late Night in the Phog this year.
"Cliff has been working on that left-handed hook a lot," Self explained after Late Night. "It's a move he need to get down to be successful in the college game."
Alexander has a lot of support and people to learn from on this roster. Bill Self has a history of talented big men, and they all tend to help each other out.
Lucas said. "He's a young, talented guy that we just want to help make better."
"It's Jamari and my self's responsibility to kind of look over him (Cliff)." Landon
KELLY OUBRE, JR
KELLY OUBE, JR
Oubre is another five star recruit a part of Kansas'
freshman class this season. Oubre is a 6-foot-7 guard from New Orleans who attended Findlay Prep. Oubre scored 11 points and sank the game winning free throws in the 2014 McDonalds All-American game.
The guard has perhaps the biggest shoes to fill in all of the NCAA. With the departure of the number one overall pick in the NBA draft, Oubre will have to step into a wing position and be effective immediately.
Similar to Wiggins, Oubre is long, quick and athletic, with a wingspan above seven feet long. Oubre's long arms allow him to be a force on the defensive end, a lot like Wiggins was last season.
"I'm excited." Oubre explained. "Andrew is a great player. I am not him, but we have similar play styles, I've watched him game a lot."
Oubre is already a vocal leader on the court for Kansas, but can often get caught up in his own head. He's the type of player that needs to think less and let his skills do the talking.
"He can play great defense and get a steal and a run-out, and then the next time when the shot clock is running down to three, he'll go gamble and miss and give a guy a wide-open shot." Self said. "He's just got to kind of figure it out. But certainly, he's a talented kid."
DEVONTE' GRAHAM
Graham is a 6-foot-2 guard from Raleigh, North Carolina. Graham attended the Brewster Academy averaging 17.2 points and five assists. Graham has had the most impressive off-season amongst the freshman propelling himself into a leadership role already.
"Without seeing him really go up and down a lot, he's going to be a hard guy to keep out of the lineup." Self said. "He's a little bit older. He's a great leader. He's probably as popular as any student is on campus. I mean, everybody knows him. Everybody likes him. He's got potential to be a great leader, and he's really a good basketball player."
Graham led Brewster to the 4A state championship where he averaged 14.8 points, 4.3 assists and 2.2 steals per game. By the end of 2014, Graham was named the number 36 recruit by rivals.com.
Graham was a late commitment to Kansas. In early May senior guard-to-be Naadir Tharpe left the program, and almost immediately, Graham committed to the University. With the recent transfer announcement of sophomore guard Connor Frankamp, Graham will look to split time with sophomore Frank Mason at the point guard position.
"Devonte' is going to be a guy that's going to challenge
for a starting spot." Self said. "I've said that all along. I don't know that Devonte' is quite ready for that yet, but I think that he could be a guy to challenge for a starting spot. That doesn't mean he will, but he's going to be in the mix."
One thing that has always been missing since the 2008 National Championship team, has been a pure, reliable point guard. Between Tharpe, Elijah Johnson and Tyshawn Taylor, the point guard play has been as inconsistent as possible.
Graham and Frank Mason will look to add stability at the position. Graham is a leader on the court, as he was constantly barking out orders and running plays during the late night inter-squad scrimmage.
SVIATSLOV MYKHAILIUK
Svi for short, this 6-foot-8 winger from Cherkasy, Ukraine is only 17 years old. Svi was apart of Ukraine's 2014 FIBA World Cup Team. He played in four games, which included three points in 11 minutes versus the United States.
Svi averaged 16 points and 4.1 rebounds in the U18 European Championships, where he earned alltournament honors.In 2013, Svi played in the U16 championships where he averaged 25.2 points and eight rebounds also being named to the all-tournament team.
Playing in Ukraine has given Svi a lot of experience the other players don't have. He played professionally in the Ukrainian Basketball SuperLeague from 2012 to 2014 for the Cherkasy Mavpy. He also got to play against the likes of James Harden and Anthony Davis.
"Svi is a talented kid." Self said. "He is not going to red shirt, he doesn't need to. He's got a lot to learn, but he's ready to come in and make an impact."
Kansas has had a few foreign players under Self's tenure. Embiid last season and Sasha Kaun from the 2008 National Championship team are two that come to mind. Both players played big roles on their respective teams.
Svi is the youngest player in the Big 12, but will look to provide big, important minutes for Kansas off the bench.
"You'll see how impressive he is athletically, with his skill set and all those things." Self said. "The only knock on him right now is he's young. He should be a high school junior or senior, as opposed to a college freshman. But he's going to be really good."

10 predictions for the Jayhawks this season
BRIAN HILLIX
@DoubleHillix
BLAIR SHEADE
@RealBlairSheady
KYLE PAPPAS
@kyle_Pap
BEN FELDERSTEIN
@Ben_Felderstein
1. KANSAS WINS ITS 11TH
STRAIGHT BIG 12 TITLE
With the influx of four talented freshmen and the returning talent of Wayne Selden, Perry Ellis and Jamari Traylor, Kansas is primed to win yet another Big 12 title. Selden has the experience of not being a freshman this season and Perry is in his third year now. Junior year was Thomas Robinson's coming out party, and if Ellis or Traylor can make a similar jump, an 11th straight Big 12 title will be even more of a possibility.
2. CLIFF ALEXANDER STRUGGLES WITH FOULS EARLY IN THE SEASON
Power forward Cliff Alexander will bring muchneeded grit and attitude to the paint this season. A physically
imposing player, he will be a force of the defensive end with his 7-foot-3 wingspan. However, especially early in the season, that will draw a lot of referee whistles as he figures out what he can and cannot get away with at the college level. He will foul out of more games than any other Jayhawk.
3. HUNTER MICKELSON BECOMES A DEFENSIVE ENFORCER
Every year, the men's basketball team has a shotblocker that dominates the paint. Last season it was Joel Embiid, two seasons ago it was Jeff Withey, and this season will be junior Hunter Mickelson, a defensive enforcer. Before transferring from Arkansas, Mickelson led the Razorbacks with 2.25 blocks per game. Without a seven-footer this season, the Jayhawks will need an inside defensive presence and Mickelson will be that guy.
Kansas has one of the most vigorous non-conference schedules again this season. This is a time that Self uses to
4. COME CONFERENCE PLAY, THE STARTING LINEUP FEATURES THREE FRESHMEN
experiment with the starting lineup. By Big 12 conference play, Devonte' Graham, Cliff Alexander and Kelly Oubre will all be in the starting five. Graham is the stability the team needs at point guard, Oubre is the quick, athletic wing that will be able to lock down any other wing in the country and Alexander is the big body down low that Kansas will need to dominate the boards.
Once again, Bill Self elected for a tough non-conference schedule for the Jayhawks. Before conference begins, Kansas will have played at least three teams currently ranked in the top-25 poll: No.1 Kentucky,No.7 Florida and No.25 Utah in addition to the possibility of playing No.18 Michigan State in the Orlando Classic. These are all potential losses for a young Kansas team, along with tricky road contests against Georgetown and Temple.
5. KANSAS LOSES AT LEAST TWO GAMES BEFORE CONFERENCE PLAY
6. KELLY OUBRE WINS BIG 12 FRESHMAN OF THE YEAR
Though Jayhawks' freshman
forward Cliff Alexander was chosen as the coaches' preseason co-selection for the honor, it's not hard to imagine that being ending up a reality. At 6-foot-7, 200 pounds, the freshman owns the tools to become a legitimate star, he's a cause for concern in the paint, but can also pull up from the perimeter to showcase his silky smooth jumper. A five-star recruit and No.11 prospect in the Class of 2014 according to ESPN, Oubre is a do-it-all guard who should be penciled in as a starter in Kansas' opening night lineup. With his 7-foot-2 wingspan and versatility, he could quickly become a focal point in Self's offense and a nightmare for opposing defenses.
7. PERRY ELLLIS AVERAGES A DOUBLE-DOUBLE (OR CLOSE TO IT)
Junior Perry Ellis averaged 17 points and seven rebounds and has only played 27 minutes per game. Ellis will be the go-to scorer, and coach Self will ask Ellis to be more aggressive and rebound more. Ellis' leadership and experience will keep him on the floor longer, which means
8. DEVONTE GRAHAM LEAPFROGS FRANK MASON AT POINT GUARD
more opportunities to grab rebounds.
TH
While the relatively surprising transfer of Conner Frankamp surely throws a wrench in Self's plans at guard, it should free up some additional minutes for freshman Devonte Graham. Frank Mason will likely get the starting nod to begin the season, but Graham should see significant minutes with the opportunity to expand his role as the year progresses. After his commitment to Kansas in May, Self called Graham "one of the premier point guards in the country" and claimed he was "an immediate impact guy". While both will see big minutes this season, look for Graham to get the bulk of those minutes as tournament time approaches.
Though Perry Ellis was the only Jayhawk to receive votes for any preseason All-Big 12 team, it's Selden who's most likely to finish the year there. He showed flashes during his

freshman year (44 points on 59 percent shooting after his first two conference games) and should prove more consistent in his sophomore campaign. While the conference is exceptionally talented at the guard position, Selden is arguably the most physically gifted and boasts the highest ceiling of the bunch, it's simply a matter of if he can reach that ceiling. If he can, he's a first team AllBig 12 selection and potential lottery pick next year.
10. KANSAS USES MORE THAN SIX DIFFERENT STARTING LINEUP THIS SEASON
With four freshmen coming in, three of which are potential starters, there is a lot of uncertainty at the top. Perry Ellis and Wayne Selden are arguable the only locks in the starting five. Self has referenced Landon Lucas and Cliff Alexander fighting for big minutes multiple times this preseason. Frank Mason and Devonte' Graham will battle for the starting point guard position and Kelly Oubre will try to fight his way into a starting wing spot.

Conference teams counting on freshmen, transfers to make a difference
BLAIR SHEADE | @REALBLAIRSHEADY
ORLANDO STATE
OKLAHOMA STATE: ANTHONY HICKEY, SR., PG.
The Cowboys have a void at the point guard position after Marcus Smart left school for the NBA. Hickey started three seasons with Louisiana State in a tough Southeastern Conference. Hickey averaged eight points, three assists and three rebounds for LSU last season
"We did have that inexperience at the point guard spot until we've got [Hickey]." Oklahoma State coach Travis Ford said "When you're a three-year starter in the SEC, you immediately get that respect. You get that respect."
TRVIS
TEXAS: MYLES TURNER, FR., F
The No. 2 center in the 2014 recruiting class, Myles Turner, brings style to a physical Texas team Texas coach Rick Barnes said Turner will play forward because he has the shooting ability, and Turner's athletic ability will allow him to guard quicker players.
[Turner] wanted to be a part of the program where he could be a part of it but not necessarily him be the program." Barnes said. "[Turner's] got to go from one play to the next play I'm watching that happen with him, and I'm watching him get better every day with it"

TCU. TREY ZEIGLER, SR., G.
Zeigler transferred from Pittsburgh University. and Texas Christian University will be his third school in four years. Zeigler averaged four points, one assist and two rebounds. TCU coach Trent Johnson said Zeigler will start right away for the Horned Frogs. and Zeigler is one of the leaders on the team
[Zeigler] is a guy that can create for himself" Johnson said. "He's scorer, not a shooter. He's a guy that can create for himself and can create for others."
I
BAYLOR: JONATHAN MOTLEY, REDSHIRT FR. F
C
The Bears are looking to replace former center Corey Jefferson, who led Baylor in points (13) and rebounds (8) Motley will start this season as a redshirt freshman, and Baylor coach Scott Drew said Motley gained a lot of weight during the off-season and practiced against Jefferson last season "[Motley] has really improved his body." Drew said "As most coaches will tell you, that freshman year, if you redshirt and you're able to focus on academics, adjust to college socially, be able to understand time management, and at the same time, be able to go against Cory Jefferson and Isaiah Austin everyday in practice, that's really going to be beneficial"
IOWA STATE
Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg loves transfers. The past two seasons, a Cyclone has won the Big 12 Newcomer of the Year award, guard Will Clyburn (2013) and guard DeAndre Kane (2014). This season, Bryce Dejean-Jones transferred to Iowa State from UNLV. Dejean-Jones, who is the preseason Big 12 newcomer of the year, averaged 13 points, three rebounds and three assists for the Running Rebels.

KANSAS STATE: JUSTIN EDWARDS, REDSHIRT IP. G
Kansas State coach Bruce Weber took a page out of Iowa State's book and signed three transfer players this season Junior guard Justin Edwards transferred from Maine, and will be an instant starter according to Weber. Edwards averaged 17 points. five rebounds and three assists at Maine last season He is known for his aggressiveness and dunking ability
"I believe [Edwards] scored a thousand points [at Maine] in two years." Weber said. "He can get to the basket I promise you one thing, he'll have some dunks that will get on ESPN."
M. KENNETH KINGTON
TEXAS TECH. DEVAUGNTAH WILLIAMS, JR., G.
Williams transferred from Missouri-West Plains, where he was the best junior college player in Missouri and a top-20 junior college player in the nation. He averaged 17 points and four assists for Missouri-West Plains last season. Williams will not start this season because senior guard Robert Turner will be the Red Raiders' most experienced player.
we have a lot of new faces." Texas Tech coach Tubby Smith said. "We have added some depth in the backcourt so that should help in the execution of the offense and trying to finalize games, where we can win some close games"

OKLAHOMA: KHADEEM LATTIN, FR.. G
The Sooners added two freshmen who will help an Oklahoma team that has a depleted bench. Lattin can help in the backcourt to give guards Buddy Hield and Jordan Woodard rest. Both freshmen will see a lot of playing time this season, according to Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger. In high school, Lattin averaged 15 points and 14 rebounds per game. As a guard, Lattin can guard the bigger men, and can play forward, as well
"Khadeem Lattin and Jamuni McNeace, two guys that are rangy and athletic." Kruger said. "They've got great upside.A lot of excitement about watching them grow and develop as young players."
MISSING
WEST VIRGINIA: JONATHAN HOLTON, JR. F
Holton transferred from Palm Beach State Community College and had to sit out the 2013-14 season Holton averaged 17 points and 14 rebounds per game while at Palm Beach State. West Virginia will add another big man to the roster, and West Virginia coach Bob Huggins said Holton will battle for playing time against sophomore forward Devin Williams.
"I don't know that I've had many people who have the enthusiasm that [Holton] has on a day-to-day basis." Huggins said. "He's a guy that I think at some point in time we're going to have to tell him to go ahead and try to score more."

The team hasn't had a reliable point guard since Tyshawn Taylor led the team to the national championship in 2012. The only true point guard on the roster is incoming freshman Devonte' Graham, who committed to Kansas

AT A GLANCE:
The Texas Longhorns have a young team of returners. They lost no seniors at the end of last season and gained only two freshmen this season. The Longhorns surprised everyone with their success last season, finishing fourth in the Big 12 conference. Texas struggled with consistent shooting and turnovers last season, something they will need to fix if they want another successful season. Isaiah Taylor is
expected to be a dominant shooter, along with Myles Turner and Jonathan Holmes. Texas needs a dominant player, like Taylor, to take over the team. The addition of Turner and Jordan Barnett give Texas a strong post under the basket making the Texas defence a serious threat to its opponents.
Myles Turner — Turner is a five-star recruit from Bedford, Texas, and was the No. 2 recruit overall. His 7-foot stature makes him a threat underneath the basket, but

he's also a dominant shooter. During his senior year, Turner averaged 18.1 points per game, 12.1 rebounds per game and 6.8 blocks per game. Texas already has a tall team, but Turner is just what the Longhorns needed to cap it off.
BURNING QUESTION:
Myles Turner joins Cameron Ridley as the only other center on the Longhorns roster. Last season, Ridley and forward
Jonathan Holmes were posted underneath the basket, but with Turner's addition, Holmes could move to a small forward position. Texas has struggled for several years with consistently shooting the perimeter, but Turner's ability to shoot threes may change that.

A team riddled with experience, Oklahoma returns the majority of its production in every statistical category from last year's team. Four of five starters return to the floor, all either sophomores or juniors who are more than familiar with playing at the collegiate level after starting all 33 games last year. Oklahoma looks to improve on their second-place finish in the Big 12, and have added a
stellar recruiting class on top of well-seasoned vets to help them achieve this goal.
PLAYER TO WATCH:
Buddy Hield — Hield is a well-recognized leader on the Sooner roster. The junior guard made a severe impact for Oklahoma as a second-team All-Big 12 pick last season, averaging the highest number of points per game in Oklahoma history since Blake Griffin five years ago.
BURNING QUESTION:
the 6-8,242-pound senior University of Houston transfer looks to be Cameron Clark's replacement. Big shoes to fill, but he's up to the task. Thomas led the Cougars in scoring, rebounding and blocks his junior season. The only thing holding him back this year, however, is the NCAA Division I transfer rule that requires transfers to sit out a year before competing at the new institution. Oklahoma intends to file an appeal in an attempt to make Thomas eligible for this upcoming season.

In year 3 under coach Bruce Weber the Wildcats are poised to be much more competitive after enduring some growing pains last season. Weber finally has more of his fingerprints on the roster with senior Thomas Gipson being one of the few remaining pieces of the Frank Martin regime. Marcus Foster, who dazzled as one of the most talented freshman in the country, will look to lead KSU once again in points and be more of a facilitator. Weber

Baylor will look to prove the critics wrong this season as they are projected to fall somewhere into the lower half of the Big 12 standings this year, after working their way to the Sweet Sixteen in the last season's NCAA Tournament. Baylor was one of two Big 12 teams, the other being Iowa state, to appear in the Sweet Sixteen in the 2014 tournament. The Bears will miss the 3-point shooting talents of guard Brady Heslip as well as the defensive
mindsets and size of forwards Cory Jefferson and Isaiah Austin. However, the team is bringing in some interesting additions like Deng Deng that could speed up the rebuilding process.

Projected to finish seventh in the preseason conference standings by Big 12 coaches, the West Virginia Mountaineers look to improve from a 2013-14 season in which they finished seventh in the Big 12 standings and were eliminated in the first round of the National Invitation Tournament by the Georgetown Hoyas. The Mountaineers also have to deal with the loss of former sophomore guard Eron Harris, who elected to transfer to Michigan State University
and play for Tom Izzo. Harris averaged 17.2 points and 3.5 rebounds per game in 2013-14, according to ESPN. Replacing that kind of production will be tough for Mountaineers coach Bob Huggins.
PLAYER TO WATCH:
Juwan Staten — Staten was selected as the Preseason Big 12 Player of the Year and was named to the Preseason All Big 12 team. A year after forming one of the best backcourt duos in the conference with Harris, Staten will be looked at as the clear leader for the 2014-15 Mountaineers. He is the conference's leading returning scorer, averaging 18.1 points
BURNING QUESTION:
How far can Staten carry the Mountaineers?
per game in 2013-14.
Staten is undoubtedly one of the most talented returning players in the country. Huggins will need to rely on his scoring and playmaking ability to carry the Mountaineers to some kind of success this season. The top half of the Big 12 conference is loaded, with Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas State and Iowa State are expected to occupy the top five spots, respectively, of the Big 12 for much of the conference season. The
Mountaineers may not end up seriously threatening those top teams, but Staten will certainly try to help his team's cause. Staten can certainly lead the conference in many statistical categories, but he will need to be better than his stats for the Mountaineers to have a successful season.

AT A GLANCE:
The Cowboys will have eight newcomers—three transfers, one redshirt and four freshmen—that will join the other eight returning letterman on the roster. They lost their leading scorer, Marcus Smart, and their leading rebounder in Kamari Murphy. Coach Travis Ford brought in small forward Joseph Burton, who is the No. 59 recruit, according to ESPN's top 100. He is the only top 100 recruit to commit with the Cowboys. They also received LSU transfer Anthony Hickey who will fill the point
guard role that was lost when Smart left for the NBA. They are projected to finish eighth in the Big 12 in the Preseason Coaches' Poll.
PLAYER TO WATCH:
Le'Bryan Nash — Made the All-Big 12 Honorable Mention List earlier this month and is ready to take on a leadership role this season with the Cowboys. The senior forward has averaged at least 30 minutes and at least 13 points per game his first three seasons in Stillwater, Okla., and is the team's leading returning scorer. At 6-foot-7 and 235 pounds, he can block shots (27 a year ago) and rebound on
both sides of the ball.
BURNING QUESTION:
Can the inexperienced players on the roster succeed and help lead the Cowboys to a winning season?
The Cowboys' roster looks much different than it did a year ago and is mainly filled with unproven talent. In fact, only two players returning from last year's team averaged more than 20 minutes on the hardwood last season: Phil Forte, III and Le'Bryan Nash. The only other player coach Ford can look to as a leader is senior center Michael Cobbins, who suffered an
injury that kept him out most of his junior season but still averaged playing 19.6 minutes per game. This team will need to work on sharing the ball more instead of relying on a few select star players to keep them afloat in the Big 12 standings.

AT-A-GLANCE:
Texas Christian University basketball was ranked last in the Big 12 coaches' rankings at the beginning of last season and did nothing to change things since this preseason, winning zero conference games and only 9 games all last year. At least the Horned Frogs' Kyan Anderson, who is the leading scorer with 17 points per game, will return for his senior year. Anderson will be supported by sophomore
center Karviar Shepherd, who led the team in rebounds in 2013-14. The obvious goal for TCU this season is to record a conference win. The team defeated Tulsa, a team that made the NCAA tournament, on two occasions last season.
PLAYER TO WATCH:
Kyan Anderson — Leading the team in both points and assists, Anderson stands out as the Horned Frogs' best player. He returns for his senior year and TCU coach Trent Johnson is tasked with surrounding him with competent teammates.
BURNING QUESTION.
What can TCU do to get out of the basement in the Big 12? TCU has been perennially awful since its entrance into the Big 12, and the arrival of Karviar Shepherd last season should have given the team a little more hope. Although Shepherd was one of the team's main contributors, few players surrounded him and Kyan Anderson as big factors. Senior Amric Fields spent large parts of last season out with an ACL injury, but has the potential to be a big
contributor. McDonald's All- American nominee Chauncey Collins was a 3-star recruit, according to ESPN, but at point guard he will play behind the Horned Frogs' best player, Kyan Anderson. Collins was TCU's highest-ranked recruit. TCU has an old team—only 3 freshman coming in.

AT A GLANCE:
After finishing second-to last in the Big 12 in the 2013-14 season, there aren't high expectations for coach Tubby Smith's Red Raiders in 2014-15. Smith tabbed his first ever losing season in 2013-14, and there's reason to believe that will happen again in Lubbock. This is Smith's first year with a few of his own recruits, and the beginning of the program's rebuilding under Smith. Seven of the team's players are new to Texas Tech. With four of last season's five scoring leaders
departing the team, Smith will look to his recruits to make an impact on this team. Smith is searching for Tech's first winning season since 2009-10
PLAYER TO WATCH:
Robert Turner — The strength of this Red Raiders team comes in the backcourt, and it starts with Turner. Turner is the top scorer from the 2013-14 season that is still on Smith's squad, and he'll start at the one-guard spot. Turner was Smith's first signing, coming from the junior college ranks in 2013. He will be accepted to lead this squad both on and off the court this season.
BURNING QUESTION:
The Red Raiders lost four top-five scorers from 2013, including two double-digit scorers. Two graduated, while two transferred out of the program. Those five players also included the top three rebounders. Turner will play a big role in replacing the points left void by those who left, as he started every game last season and has the experience. Toddrick Gotcher also played some time as a starter in 2013, but needs his shot to fall
more consistently to be a real contributor this season. It'll be up to the newcomers to replace the spots left by the frontcourt. Justin Jamison, at 6 feet 9 inches tall and 260 pounds, will give Tech a body in the paint, though he doesn't bring a scoring presence. He's going to play major minutes down low, as will true freshman Norense Odiase.

In 2011, NBC sports analyst Jack Harry learned the hard way to never pick against Kansas in the Big 12, regardless of the perceived talent level of the team. (He said the Jayhawks wouldn't finish in the top-five of the conference that year.) Of course, the team would go on to win its eighth straight conference title and every one since. This year is no different. An impressive recruiting class
and more experience from the rest of the team will give Kansas its 11th straight title of the year. Behind the Jayhawks, look for a close race between the Cyclones, Longhorns and Sooners. At the bottom, I expect TCU to leave its previously permanent spot at No.10

Kansas, is the preseason coaches' pick to win the Big 12 for the eighth time
in the past 11 years, and why wouldn't it be? With the return of Selden and additions of several impact freshmen, this team appears primed to strengthen Kansas' "We don't rebuild, we reload" mantra. On paper, it seems that Texas, Oklahoma, and Iowa State could all conceivably challenge the Jayhawks for their 11th-consecutive title but the Longhorns likely pose the biggest threat. They return all five starters from last season and snagged Myles Turner and Jordan Barnett this offseason to boot. It wouldn't be surprising if the conference's top four teams are only separated by a couple of games in the final standings.

The Kansas Jayhawks have what it takes to win an 11th straight Big 12 Title. However, the Big 12 will be just as, if not more, competitive than it was last season. With the addition of Myles Turner to an already impressive Texas team, they will push Kansas as far as any recent team has for the title. Fred Hoiberg's Iowa State team has the experience of Geo Niang and the transfer
power of Dejean Jones. Tech will replace TCU in the cellar this season, as they lost six key players last season. Oklahoma State will fall to the bottom as well, losing Marcus Smart, Markel Brown and Stevie Clark. LeBryan Nash will look to take the reigns in Stillwater. Last season the Big 12 sent 70 percent of their teams to the NCAA tournament, an all-time high. This season, the Big 12 could improve that number by sending eight teams to the dance this season.

Wayne Selden settles into bigger role for Kansas
STELLA LIANG
@stelly_liang
Wayne Selden Jr. is no longer a freshman waiting to make a highly anticipated debut. He is also not a seasoned veteran.
But starting this season tonight with the exhibition game against Washburn, Selden said he's ready to be a leader.
"I feel like even though I'm just a sophomore, we still got a lot of young guys, guys looking at me for that leadership role." Selden said on basketball media day last month. "I feel like I can do that."
---
Wayne feels like this is his team more than anybody else's, which is a good thing. I think his leadership role is much more advanced since last year."
Selden never drew a crowd at the media day, with freshman Cliff Alexander and junior Perry Ellis at the center of attention. During this season, however, his experience will be sought in the backcourt, especially with the recent departure of sophomore guard Conner Frankamp.
BILL SELF
Kansas basketball coach
"Even though Perry [Ellis] is the biggest veteran we have and even though Jamari [Traylor] is a year older, Wayne feels like this is his team more than anybody else's, which is a good thing," Self said at the basketball media day. "I think his leadership role is much more advanced since last year. Where last year he was just kind of fitting in, this year I think he's taken more of a
leadership role."
Selden, who was sometimes overshadowed by fellow freshman Andrew Wiggins, came to Kansas as ESPN's 14th ranked member of the 2013 class. Last season, he averaged 9.7 points a game and totaled 87 assists, which was the second most on the team. He was also one of only two players who started all 35 games; Wiggins was the other.
At one point in the season, there was speculation that Selden would only spend one year in a Jayhawk uniform. Following the end of the season, Selden ended all conjectures with a tweet indicating he would be back. Part of the tweet read that he couldn't wait to get back to work.
Coming back this season, Selden said he has many goals for the team, listing improved defense and teamwork among them.
As for himself, Selden can work on improving his shooting consistency, Self said.
"Last year, he was great at times and last year he was obviously very streaky at times," Self said. "I would love for him to become more consistent."
Wherever he is, coach Self said, Selden will be aggressive. Self went as far as calling Selden an "alpha dog."
"I think he's in better shape," Self said. "I think he's healthy, he's got more bounce. He's definitely much more aggressive."
StateFarm 22 COX 22
Selden might find his role expanded to many parts of the court. Known usually as a shooting guard, Selden has been practicing at the forward position. Now with Frankamp's departure, he could spend some time at the point guard position.

First Halloween DUI check lane leads to 8 arrests
PAIGE STINGLEY
@paigestinglev
This past Friday, the Lawrence Police Department conducted a DUI check lane on Halloween for the first time. The check lane occurred at the 1100 block of Tennessee Street between 11 p.m. Friday to around 3 a.m. Saturday.
According to a press release by the LPD, officers arrested eight individuals for driving under the influence, issued five citations for drug violations, arrested one individual for a misdemeanor offense, and issued other citations for various offenses, including driving with an open container in the vehicle.
Check lanes are usually conducted on weekend nights, and since Halloween fell on a Friday night this year, the LPD took advantage of having its first Halloween check lane, LPD spokesman Sgt. Trent McKinlev said.

"Part of the decision was made due to the high volume of foot traffic of young people, families with children, and students," McKinley said.
Kim Murphree, technical services director of the LPD, said 13 officers and one supervisor were on duty at the check lane.
The amount of officers assigned at check lanes depends on the availability of officers, the location of the stopping point and the duration that officers are present, Murphree said. There is no specific number of officers present at any given DUI check lane.
Murphree said officers decide beforehand whether they are going to stop every car that goes through the check

If a driver admits to drinking or appears intoxicated, the officer will ask the driver to step out of the car. Another officer will pull the car off of the road while the driver completes a set of field sobriety tests, Murphree said.
Prior to Halloween, the LPD sent out a press release informing the public about the check lane and encouraging pedestrians, especially those in costume, to wear some sort of reflective gear when traveling by foot.

Advanced voting opened Oct. 15 and closed at noon yesterday. Garrett Fugate, a graduate student in architecture, chose to vote at the Office of Multicultural Affairs Thursday because it was convenient for him. He said this is an important election for students to vote in, especially because the race is so close.
"I feel like my vote counts more than it would normally." Fugate said.

Brendan Lynch, a public affairs officer for the University, also chose to vote early because of scheduling conflicts tomorrow. He's concerned about several issues that affect the University and Lawrence.
Alicia Strawder, a graduate student in social work, chose to vote early because she has multiple classes on election day.
"The state has had a lot of finance issues in the last four years that concern me, and I have some concerns as a homeowner," he said. "Also, just in terms of the local election, the new proposition to have a big, expensive headquarters for the police was something I wanted to have a voice in too."

Aaron Marquis Thomas, 19, Gabriel Lang McKinney, 18, and Thomas Conner Hampton, 19, are students at the University and live in Oliver Hall. They were arrested along with Branson Jerod Glanton, 18, of Salina, and Kalil Kenyon Gray, 18, of Union City, according to Douglas County booking records.
Three of the five suspects arrested Sunday morning on suspicion of armed robbery at Stouffer Place Apartments are students at the University, said Captain James Anguiano of the KU Public Safety Office. They are currently being held in Douglas County Jail without bond, according to Douglas County booking records.
Anguiano said a 45-inch television and $30 in cash were taken from the apartment.
Thomas, McKinney and Gray were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy, aggravated robbery and aggravated burglary, while Hampton and Glanton were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit aggravated robbery and aggravated burglary, according to Douglas County booking records.
Anguiano said he wanted to thank the public, because a tip came in after the crime notice was posted.

Brittany Maynard, a 29-year-old terminally ill woman planned to take her own life under Oregon's death with dignity law. A spokesman for a Maynard says she has taken lethal medication prescribed by a doctor and died. Sean Crowley, spokesman from the group Compassion & Choices, said late Sunday that Brittany Maynard was surrounded by family Saturday when she took the medication.
Terminally ill Brittany Maynard takes own life
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The issue of physician-assisted suicide is not new, but Maynard's youth and vitality before she became ill brought the discussion to a younger generation.
PORTLAND, Ore. — Brittany Maynard stuck by her decision.
The woman with brain cancer who revived a national debate about physician-assisted suicide ended her life Saturday by swallowing lethal drugs made available under an Oregon law allowing terminally ill people to choose when to die. She would have been 30 on Nov.19.
Maynard had been in the spotlight for about a month since publicizing that she and her husband, Dan Diaz, moved to Portland from Northern California so that she could take advantage of the Oregon law. She told journalists she planned to die Nov. 1, shortly after her husband's birthday, but reserved the right to move the date forward or push it back.
Maynard ended her suffering right on schedule after hinting at a possible delay in a video released last week.
"She died as she intended — peacefully in her bedroom, in the arms of her loved ones," said Sean Crowley, a spokesman for the advocacy group Compassion & Choices.
Crowley said Maynard "suffered increasingly frequent and longer seizures, severe head and neck pain, and stroke-like symptoms. As symptoms grew more severe, she chose to abbreviate the dying process by taking the aid-in-dying medication she had received months ago."
"We are saddened by the fact that this young woman gave up hope, and now our concern is for other people with terminal illnesses who may contemplate following her example," Janet Morana, executive director of the group Priests for Life, said in a statement after Maynard's death. "Brittany's death was not a victory for a political cause. It was a tragedy, hastened by despair and aided by the culture of death invading our country."
Oregon was the first U.S. state to make it legal for a doctor to prescribe a life-ending drug to a terminally ill patient of sound mind who makes the request. The patient must swallow the drug without help; it is illegal for a doctor to administer it.
The state does not track how many terminally ill people move to Oregon to die. A patient must prove to a doctor that they are living in Oregon. Some examples of documentation include a rental agreement, a voter registration card or a driver's license.
More than 750 people in Oregon have used the law to die as of Dec.31,2013.The median age of the deceased is 71.Only six were younger than 35.
She was diagnosed with brain cancer on New Year's Day of this year and was later told she had six months to live.
Four other states — Washington, Montana, Vermont and New Mexico — allow patients to seek help to die.
Maynard told The Associated Press in an Oct. 8 interview that her husband and other relatives accepted her decision.
"I think in the beginning my family members wanted a miracle; they wanted a cure for my cancer," she said. "When we all sat down and looked at the facts, there isn't a single person that loves me that wishes me more pain and more suffering."
Task force seeks KU community feedback
MCKENNA HARFORD
@McKennaHartford
The sexual assault task force introduced themselves to campus via email yesterday and addressed community involvement in the discussion. Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little and the sexual assault task force have received recommendations and suggestions regarding the sexual assault training, policies and actions.
PURPOSE
The task force will look at the recommendations while they discuss possible changes to make to training and policies. The task force is also in charge of deciding what steps the University could make to address prevention of sexual assault and providing students with adequate resources, which may include permanent funding for a student advocate.
"We are trying to figure out how to respond to (suggestions), our actions and possibly how to incorporate them," said Angela Murphy, co-chair of the sexual assault task force. "People shouldn't hesitate to send (suggestions) in because that really matters because we know we are supposed to be representative and we can't be effective without feedback."
The task force encourages anyone to submit suggestions, which can be anonymous, through its webpage, satsakforce.ku.edu, or email, taskforce@ku.edu. Murphy said.
TRENDS
So far, many of the recommendations focus on changes to the sexual assault training, especially the clarity of the information. The Chancellor made the training mandatory in response to concerns that it wasn't taken seriously by students.
"Training is something at the top of the priorities list because there is a very strong interest in preventing sexual
assault in the first place," Director of Strategic Communications Jack Martin said.
OTHER SUGGESTED CHANGES INCLUDED.
— Making it clear that domestic violence and sexual harassment, including assault, is a crime
— Making it clear that if someone has a concern for his or her safety then he or she should report it to campus police and to the Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access
Making it clear that there are consequences to committing the crime of sexual harassment, including assault
Having an affirmative definition of consent and making it clear that sex without consent is rape
These suggestions were sent to the task force, Martin said.

World Trade Center reopens for business
Thirteen years after the 9/11 terrorist attack, the resurrected World Trade Center is again opening for business, marking an emotional milestone for both New Yorkers and the United States as a whole.

An employee enters the lobby of One World Trade Center Monday in New York. Publishing giant Conde Nast will start moving Monday into One World Trade Center, a 104-story, $3.9 billion skyscraper that dominates the Manhattan skyline.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Thirteen years after the 9/11 terrorist attack, the resurrected World Trade Center has opened for business — marking an emotional milestone for both New Yorkers and the nation.
Some staffers of publishing giant Conde Nast began working at 1 World Trade Center on Monday. The 104-story, $3.9 billion skyscraper dominates the Manhattan skyline. The publishing giant becomes the first commercial tenant in America's tallest building.
It's the centerpiece of the 16-acre site where the decimated twin towers once stood and where more than 2,700 people died on Sept. 11, 2001, buried under smoking mounds of fiery debris.
"The New York City skyline is whole again, as 1 World Trade Center takes its place in Lower Manhattan," said Patrick Foye, executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which owns both the building and the World Trade Center site.
The agency began moving into neighboring 4 World Trade Center last week.
He said 1 World Trade Center "sets new standards of design, construction, prestige and sustainability; the opening of this iconic building is a major milestone in the transformation of Lower Manhattan into a thriving 24/7 neighborhood."
With construction fences gone and boxes of office equipment in place, the company moved into what Foye called "the most secure office building in America."
Prior to the move, Conde Nast addressed any issues employees might have had about moving into the tower. The architectural firm, T.J. Gottesdiener of the Skidmore,
Owings & Merrill, says it took extra measures to strengthen the steel-and-concrete structure. It says it is a much stronger structure than the twin towers.
Starting Monday, more than 170 employees moved into five of Conde Nast's 25 floors, the company said. By early 2015, about 3,000 more staffers will move in.
"The New York City skyline is whole again, as 1 World Trade Center takes its place in Lower Manhattan."
PATRICK FOYE
Executive director
The building is 60 percent leased, with another 80,000 square feet going to the advertising firm Kids Creative, the stadium operator Legends Hospitality, the BMB Group investment adviser, and Servcorp, a provider of executive offices.
The government's General Services Administration signed up for 275,000 square feet, and the China Center, a trade and cultural facility, will cover 191,000 square feet.
The eight-year construction of the 1,776-foot high skyscraper came after years of political, financial and legal infighting that threatened to derail the project.
The bickering slowly died down as two other towers started going up on the southeast end of the site: the now completed 4 World Trade Center whose anchor tenant is the Port Authority, which started moving in last week, and 3 World Trade Center, which is slowly rising.
The area has prospered in recent years beyond anyone's imagination. About 60,000
more residents now live there — three times more than before 9/11 — keeping streets, restaurants and shops alive even after Wall Street and other offices close for the day.
Still, it's a bittersweet victory, one achieved with the past in
mind as the architects created. 1 World Trade Center.

He said the firm went beyond the city's existing building codes to achieve that.

KU should focus money on students
By Adam Timmerman
@AdamTweets4You
"Gateway" for upperclassmen and graduate students on 19th and Iowa streets and "Innovation Way," a research corridor stretching from Haworth to West Campus.
Anyone on campus can tell that the University is going through a major facelift. While we already have arguably one of the best campuses in the country, the University has started multiple projects to make it even better.
We're already seeing the two new dorms being built on Daisy Hill, a new business school (Capitol Federal Hall) next to the Ambler Student Recreation Center and new athletic dorms by Hoglund Ballpark. There's also an addition to Allen Fieldhouse that will house the original rules of basketball written by Dr. Naismith (the DeBruce Center) and the reconstruction of Jayhawk Boulevard.
Each project is estimated to cost millions of dollars, with "Innovation Way" coming with an $800 million price tag, according to Lawrence Journal-World. It's amazing that the University has this much money, or at least expects to collect this much money in donations, for these projects. It's also interesting that while the University is planning these major construction projects, students' tuition continues to rise each year.
These current projects are just the beginning of what's to come. The 2014-2024 Campus Master Plan released last year outlines multiple new projects, such as housing unit
The LJW reported earlier this year that incoming fall freshmen had a 3.4 percent tuition increase in comparison to last year's freshmen, with in-state freshmen paying $5,224 per semester and out-of-state freshmen paying $12,437 per semester. While
some may blame budget cuts to education for this rise in tuition costs,the fact of the matter is that the University makes more than enough in donations to help with rising tuition costs.
In September, KU Endowment reported the University received $253.2 million in donations in fiscal year 2014 45 percent higher than the $174.2 million mark set last year. A good portion of donations go toward funding some of the projects mentioned earlier, while other funds are going to seven new professorships and 91 new scholarships and fellowships.
Think of that though - only 91 scholarships and fellowships and only seven new professorships created out of $253.2 million in donations raised this fiscal year. Also, while the University says it has 28,000 students spread across its five campuses, the Endowment page states that this year Endowment funds
more than 6,000 students with $27.2 million in scholarships. If you were going to put that up against what Endowment has made this year, that's just fewer than 11 percent of the $253.2 million made.
Maybe instead of building an $800 million research corridor or spending $17.5 million in private donations on new athletic dorms, according to the Kansas City Star, the University should instead do more to help cover the costs of rising tuition for incoming freshmen. It's one thing when the money goes to education centers, like the research corridor or the new business school, but when it's going to facilities that students won't gain any benefit from, like the DeBruce Center, that's where there is a problem.
More money should go toward helping students pay for college instead of having them pull out thousands of
dollars in student loans. Maybe the University never realized that college is expensive for most, and not just the fifth of students receiving scholarships — especially when there are students who have to pay for it on their own. The University should take part in helping subsidize tuition for these students. The University makes more than enough money through donations to make up for budget cuts.
The success of the University should be measured by the amount of students who can gain access to an education they deserve and who shouldn't have to go thousands of dollars into debt to gain it. It's sad when more is invested in the original rules of basketball, two pieces of paper, than in students.

Cheating on exams not worth the punishments
By Madeline Umali
@madelineumali
As I sat in my Biology 100 exam last week, I wondered how many, if any, students were cheating. I was curious; aside from the numerous pairs of wandering eyes, there were several students seated behind me discussing answers aloud. In a lecture hall as big as Budig 120, is it possible to eliminate cheating? I don't think so.
Several professors, including the Biology 100 professors, have tried to prevent cheating. They roam the lecture hall, hand out alternating exams and even require students to remove their hats in case answers are written on them. Despite their efforts, students still manage to cheat.
It's time to reclaim academic honesty. As students, we shouldn't be turning in anyone's work other than our own. By being honest now, we prepare ourselves for success
A 2001 study published by Caveon Test Security reported the number of students cheat-
in the future. Stop cramming for exams last minute and start studying in advance. You won't feel forced to glance at your neighbor's answers to get a decent grade. There are other ways students can prevent the temptation to cheat, like making notecards, going over questions with your professors or hiring a tutor.
ing on schoolwork is increasing. Of those surveyed, 70 percent of students admitted to cheating on exams and 84 percent admitted to cheating on written assignments.
Just like any other school, the University takes cheating very seriously. That being said, students don't really understand how serious cheating is. Not only can it destroy their reputation and grades, it can also follow you into your future career. According to the University Senate Rules and Regulations, students caught cheating could face transcript
For those that resort to cheating, put yourself in your neighbor's shoes. How would you feel if you had studied hard for an exam, only to have a stranger copy your answers? You should receive credit for
citations, suspension or even expulsion.
the work and time you put into something, not the work of someone else.
Before you are tempted to look at your neighbor's answers on your upcoming exam, take a second to think about what you are doing. The repercussions of cheating are not worth the grade.

KU Nourish fundraises for trip to Peru
RYAN MILLER
@Ryanmiller_UDK
海沧渔场
KU Nourish International, a student organization, is starting its fourth year on campus and plans to take its next project oversees to the Moche Valley in Peru. The club's focus is to impact poverty on a global scale. It works on engaging students to impact communities by doing various things, from improving health conditions to taking part in local women's empowerment groups.
Brogan Britt, a senior from Abilene and current chapter leader, said this is the first time the chapter is sending KU students abroad, since last year the club didn't have enough students commit to going. The money raised last year was still given to the chapter's partner, MOCHE, Inc. to do prep work such as diagnosing the water system. This needed to be done in order for KU students to implement the project this coming summer in Lima, Peru. Nourish is trying to send 12 volunteers to Peru this summer for five weeks, from July 1 to Aug. 5.
Britt said the organization puts on fundraisers and related ventures throughout the year. The chapter uses the money to then implement a specific project abroad over the summer. In its first two years, the club went to Accra, Ghana, and worked on a women's empowerment sustainable project. Last year and this year however, the club chose to work with a project in Peru.
This year the chapter is doing a sanitation project, so it is primarily focusing on health through building latrines
and putting on a health fair in Lima. Britt said she is excited to send volunteers to Peru to make an impact on the poverty and get hands on experience.
"You get to see the difference that it makes in people's lives, and just to be a part of that and be part of understanding their culture and developments. It's just really inspiring." Britt said.
"it's really encouraging to see that our work is making a difference."
BROGAN BRITT Chapter leader
Britt said the club does different types of fundraisers for the project month to month. For the month of October, the chapter partnered with Etkie and sold 'Free Her' bracelets, which were made by formerly trafficked women in Mongolia. For this month, the club is doing a tailgating event outside of the football games on Nov. 8 and 15, where they will be doing activities such as face painting and sign making. Britt said the club tries to do something every month that is a venture for raising money. Nourish needs to have its fundraising finished up and turned in by July so that members are able to go to Peru on time.
Amber Halliburton, a sophomore from Olathe and the social media chair for Nourish, said she is helping to sponsor both the club and trip to Peru. She said improving the sanitation in Moche Valley and helping out more
communities than her own is inspiring.
"I'm trying to get more people interested," she said. "The more people we have, the bigger difference we can make."
In addition to fundraising this year, Britt said the club will be on Wescoe a couple times to talk with students. This is Britt's third year with Nourish after joining as a sophomore. "I was looking for an organization that works with global issues," she said.
Britt said she has stuck with Nourish because of its values, where the club focuses on working with the community.
"We're not going there pretending to be their savior," Britt said, "Typically the community knows what needs to be fixed."
She said they work with the community, let the community make decisions, then Nourish helps out with the resources and manpower.
Last year, Britt worked with MOCHE, Inc. and went with another Nourish International chapter from Emory University. They worked in the rural community of Ciudad de Dios and did a women's empowerment focus. This included helping women in the production of their products, building playground equipment and building stoves made out of adobe bricks.
Britt said the project in Peru came about through a combination of the Nourish national office and the MOCHE, Inc. group; both located in North Carolina. Nourish International has around 60 chapters nationwide and in Canada, and the national office in North Carolina provides

Chris Rock pokes fun at terrorism in controversial SNL monologue, sketches
By Lyndsey Havens @LyndseyAlana
Ebola, terrorism, Taylor Swift ... no topic is safe from the risk of being reduced to a comedic sketch on "Saturday Night Live." This past Saturday, host Chris Rock proved this to be true within the first few minutes.
During Rock's opening monologue alone, he made light of heavy matters such as the Boston bombings, noting the irony in being told to "run" once the bombs exploded, as if running in the 26-mile marathon wasn't exhausting enough. He also cracked jokes about 9/11, saying how he will never go inside New York City's Freedom Tower since it resides where the World Trade Center towers once stood, not wanting to take the risk.
While shows such as "Family Guy" and "South Park" are known for pushing the envelope, viewers not only accept the bold and cheeky comedic scenes, they expect them to be present in every episode. When such humor is executed in an unexpected manner though, to a less suspecting audience, the jokes are accompanied with both uncomfortable laughter and controversy.
Us Weekly questioned whether Rock's monologue was "too soon or comedically edgy," while the debate defaulted to Twitter, the social media site that seems to only add fuel to the fire behind most debates
recently.
+
While the opening monologue moved on within minutes, the topic of terrorism presented itself yet again in a "Shark Tank"-themed sketch, in which Rock appeared as a member of the terror group ISIS. In the sketch he said, "Genocidal regimes are a very tricky business," once again reducing sensitive subjects to playful punch lines.
Sometimes, adding humor to a situation can lessen the intensity and spread awareness by involving those who would otherwise remain uninterested in the issue at hand. Last week on campus, for example, members of Campus Ministries USA stood their ground on Wescoe Beach, shouting out obscenities while promoting the notion of abstinence. Students took a stance against the group, handing out bingo cards, bibles and hugs in response to the vile remarks being made. While the presence of Campus Ministries on campus itself wasn't new, the reaction from students was.
Though terrorism and abstinence fall at seemingly far ends of the scale from one another, they're both heated issues nonetheless. Pushing boundaries and creating controversy are often highly beneficial promotional tools, but when it comes to fusing humor with appropriation, is there such a thing as bad publicity? Controversial content intends to generate a response, and as students demonstrated last week, it doesn't always have to be a negative one. How we choose to react to such content can often be more powerful than the content itself.

Daredevil completes Chicago skyscraper tightrope walks
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — Daredevil Nik Wallenda wowed Chicago and the world Sunday with two hair-raising skyscraper crossings on high wires without a safety net or a harness, and performing one blindfolded.
"I feel incredible," Wallenda said at a news conference in a nearby hotel after completing the tightrope walks. He entered wearing his blindfold, drawing laughter from reporters.
---
Recalling what made him nervous during his aerial performances, he said strong winds and the steeper-than-expected angle of the first high wire caused him to hurry his performance. Wallenda had practiced at a 15-degree angle but said the wire was actually at 19 degrees.
"Yes there's some wind, yes it's cool, but it's not unbearable," he said. Just two days earlier, the city had been beset with gusty winds, snow, hail and driving rain.
"That cable looked like it was going straight up," he said.
At around 6:40 p.m. just minutes before the anticipated start of his high-wire feat, Wallenda, who lives in Florida, said the chilly conditions in Chicago would not stall him.
Thousands of cheering fans packed the streets around the city's Marina City towers to watch the 35-year-old heir to the Flying Wallendas' family business complete the back-to-back walks.
Two of his previous televised tightrope walks over the brink of Niagara Falls in 2012 and across the Little Colorado River Gorge in 2013 — drew about 13 million viewers each.
As he stepped from the wire, he tore-off his blindfold and waved; the crowd erupted in cheers.
Journalists covering Sunday's event signed waivers relinquishing their right to claim emotional distress if they witness a catastrophe.
The Discovery Channel used a 10-second delay for the broadcast, which would have allowed producers to cut away if anything went wrong. Chicago city officials ignored a state law requiring safety nets for aerial acts higher than 20 feet, saying the law wasn't intended for "elite" performers.
Wearing a bright red jacket, Wallenda tested the tension of the first wire. It took him about six and a half minutes to walk the 454 foot stretch from the Marina City west tower to the top of a building on the other side of the river. The tightrope began at 588 feet from the ground and ended at 671 feet.
"I love Chicago and Chicago definitely loves me," said Wallenda as he walked that wire, with the crowd below him screaming in support. "What an amazing roar!"
The next stage of Wallenda's high-wire event he undertook blindfolded — a 94-foot walk 543 feet from the ground between the two Marina City towers. At a fast clip, he made the stretch in little more than a minute.

Daredevil Nik Wallenda begins his tightrope walk uphill at a 19-degree angle from the Marina City west tower across the Chicago River to the top of the Leo Burnett Building in Chicago on Sunday.

The Discovery Channel aired daredevil Nik Wallenda's tightrope walk in Chicago. They used a 10-second delay in case anything went wrong, which would allow them to cut away before it was broadcast.
have meant helicopters lifting cable to the rooftops, road closures and clearances from the Federal Aviation Administration and U.S. Coast Guard. Residents of Marina City were asked not to use laser pointers, camera flashes or drones that could interfere. Even grilling was prohibited.
Cynthia Garner traveled 90 miles from Belvidere, Ill., with her husband Johnny to watch the event.
"It was amazing, I saw it with my own eyes," Garner said afterward. "I was afraid when he first started, but once I saw that he didn't hesitate and just walked, I wasn't scared for him no more."
A year before Wallenda was born, his great-grandfather Karl Wallenda fell to his death during a tightrope stunt in Puerto Rico. He was 73.
"I've trained a bit to do a headstand on the wire, but I've never done it publicly because I've always said if I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it on that walk with him," Wallenda said, explaining that he wants to use vintage film of Karl Wallenda's walk to create the illusion of the two of them sharing the high wire.
"My dream is to actually walk the wire with my great-grandfather," he said. "I get goose bumps and chills thinking about it."
What's next? Wallenda has said he next wants to recreate a 1,200-foot-long high-wire walk made famous by his great-grandfather. The stunt at Tallulah Falls Gorge in Georgia included two headstands on the high wire.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
A:2007
Q: When's the last time the Cleveland Browns started 5-3?
---
ESPN.com
There are currently five teams with 5-3 records in the AFC, and the Kansas City Chiefs are one of them.
one of them.
Standing one-half game ahead of the San Diego Chargers and one game back of the division-leading Denver Broncos, the topsy-turvy nature of the NFL has vastly changed the outlook of the season for the Chiefs.
The Chiefs have lost two of their three games on the last possession of the game including a game-ending interception against the San Francisco 49ers. They have done all of this without its best run-stoppers in defensive end Mike DeVito and linebacker Derrick Johnson, who were injured and declared out for the season after Week 1.
San Diego, the other threat to the Broncos in the AFC West, hasn't looked as sharp as was perceived earlier in the year.
By Connor Oberkrom
@coberkro
Three of the Chargers' five wins have come against the New York Jets, Oakland Raiders and Jacksonville Jaguars. These teams have a combined record of 2-24 and are living in the basement of the NFL.
Behind the Cincinnati Bengals, who have the hardest schedule the rest of the way, the rest of the Chiefs' opponents records are 34-32 with only two games against teams with a below .500 record (Oakland Raiders).
The Broncos still have five games against teams currently in the playoff race, but it's unlikely that they lose more than three. Whether you believe that the cold weather is suppressing Peyton Manning's prowess, he will have to reinforce that it's just a myth. Denver has to play in Kansas City, in Denver against Buffalo and in Cincinnati in late November and December.
If the Chiefs defeat the Buffalo Bills this weekend, a more concise playoff picture will be presented, but games in Buffalo aren't ever automatic. However, the Chiefs won't have to worry about spiraling into oblivion after a road loss because they alternate home and road the rest of the way.
Looking ahead is always dangerous, but Week 16 could loom large for the playoff race as two AFC West teams face the two favorites to win the AFC North.
The Chiefs will travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers, as Denver will travel to Cincinnati to take on the Bengals.
Before the season, the Chiefs' schedule was seen as a daunting task, but now as everything has progressed, winning the AFC West isn't infeasible. They don't entirely control their own destiny, but in order to ensure another postseason spot, winning five or six of their last eight games would likely do the job.
Last year, it was backup quarterbacks pulling out close games that could've turned the other way that propelled the Chiefs into the playoffs. This year it will have to face the brunt of the AFC wild card teams and two of the best NFC teams. A half-season in the NFL feels like a lifetime, but it can also can force teams to plunge from glory as the Chiefs saw last year.

Last time out: Won vs. Oklahoma State 48-14
homa State 48-14
Quarterback Jake Waters continued his extraordinary season on Saturday, completing 68 percent of his passes for 223 yards and two touchdowns. After allowing Oklahoma State a 7-0 lead, Kansas State refocused with surgeon-like precision. The Wildcats held Oklahoma State in a vise grip from halftime onward, holding the Cowboys to just 48 yards of total offense.
This week, Kansas State travels to TCU for the biggest game of the year within the conference, and a win would give them a comfortable spot in the drivers seat.

TCU didn't play its best game of the year, but no victory this season showed more of this team's championship
build than the come-from-behind road victory against West Virginia. The Horned Frogs' defense held West Virginia to its second lowest total of the season, and as a whole, allow just 22.6 points per game. Trending: Up

Last time out: Won vs. Kan ses 60-14
When Baylor and Oklahoma mack this weekend, both teams will be coming off easy wins. Baylor had no trouble with Kansas at home, and Oklahoma got even less of a struggle from Iowa State in Ames, Iowa. This Saturday, the two collide in Norman, Okla. The winner keeps its name in the hat for the Big 12 Championship — the loser can all but forget about it.

Last time out: Won at Iowa State 59-14
First off, Oklahoma rushed for 751 yards last week and quarterback Trevor Knight
became the first FBS player to rush for three touchdowns and throw for three in the same game this season. He was without his star wide receiver, Sterling Shepard, as well. This game was never in question, though, as the Sooners held claim to a 21-0 lead with 2:42 left in the first quarter.
The win helped remove the sting from the previous week's home loss to K-State, but the real test is this Saturday when the Sooners take on Baylor at home.

West Virginia jumped out to a 13-0 lead over TCU, led 27-14 later, and had a 30-21 lead with less than 15 minutes to play, but it still wasn't enough. Even though the Mountaineers kept Heisman-hopeful Trevone Boykin quiet for most of the night, the quarterback made plays down the stretch and set up a 37-yard Jaden Oberkrom field goal that would win it as time expired.

After grabbing a 7-0 lead in Manhattan, it would have been nice to see the Cowboys put up more of a fight over the rest of the game, but Kansas State was too much, and the Wildcats rattled off 45-straight points. The first seven of those 45 came on the kickoff following the Tyreek Hill touchdown run.

The Baylor game was lost well before it was played on Saturday. Kansas was dominated in the trenches on both sides of the football throughout the afternoon due to the fact that the team has been out-recruited and out-developed at the line of scrimmage for well over five years by the Baylor Bears.
Junior quarterback Michael Cummings passed for 10 more yards (288) than Baylor's Bryce Petty, and although the Jayhawk secondary played valiantly against a high-flying passing attack, it wasn't enough to overcome Kansas' shortcomings up front.

THE DAILY DEBATE
Who will take over for Conner Frankamp?
By Skylar Rolstad
@SkyRolSports
“FRANK MASON”
Kansas' point guard this season should be Frank Mason.
be Frank Mason. Since the team is already expected to start freshmen Cliff Alexander and Kelly Oubre Jr. at forward, Kansas could use a little experience at point guard. Mason, a sophomore, challenged Naadir Tharpe for the starting point guard spot last season.
Conner Frankamp's decision to transfer from Kansas leaves the jayhawks going into the 2014-15 season with less experience, which may force the team's freshmen to step up their shooting.
Tharpe's decision to transfer from Kansas (he later declared for the NBA D-league instead of college) at the end of last year enabled coach Belf Self to recruit a new point guard, freshman Devonte' Graham. Graham has a chance to prove himself
this season. When Kansas begins its regular season at Allen Fieldhouse against UC-Santa Barbara, Mason should be given the reins to the team.
Frankamp's departure won't change the Jayhawks completely, but it will force the team to find a new player who can hit critical shots in close games. Kansas' Ukrainian shooting guard Sviatoslav Mykhailiu may prove a perfect replacement for Frankamp, who only played an average of 8.3 minutes per game last season.
Turnovers were a consistent theme for Kansas at the guard positions last season. With Oubre taking over for Andrew Wiggins, turnovers may still be an issue for the young team. Mason averaged 1.1 turnovers per game last season compared to Tharpe's 2.1 and Wiggins' 2.3. Mason at point guard may solve Kansas' issues with turnovers.
Mason averaged only 5.5 points per game during
the 2013-14 season in 16.2 minutes. His average points compare well to Tharpe, who scored 8.5 points per game in 29.2 minutes, nearly twice the time of Mason but a smaller time-point margin.
though Mason's scoring contribution compares well, the most valuable attribute for Kansas' point guard this season will be leadership on the court. The Jayhawks will have a lot of shooting ability in their starting lineup, and Mason's ability to pass the ball will be critical.
There isn't a definitive answer for who will replace Frankamp. Kansas valued him in certain situations, but did not consider giving him substantial minutes. Frankamp could have played at shooting guard, but wouldn't have much of a chance at extended playing time with Wayne Selden, Brannen Greene and Mykhailiuk at that spot.

"DEVONTE' GRAHAM"
Joey Anguiano
@joey anguiano
With the recent surprising transfer of
sophomore point guard Conner Frankamp, many wonder who will fill his role in the Jayhawks' backcourt. While Frankamp didn't contribute much on the stat sheet last year — averaging 8.3 minutes per game and 2.5 points per game — he will be remembered by quite a few fans for his late game heroics in the NCAA Tournament loss to Stanford last season. The man that will get the majority of Frankamp's minutes, and ultimately step into the role he would have held this season, is freshman point guard Devonte' Graham.
Graham steps onto the court with a Jayhawk roster that now, after the Frankamp transfer, only has two true point guards: himself and
sophomore Frank Mason.It's been perceived all offseason that Mason will be the starting point guard and will need to rest at times, which means that Graham will most likely be bringing the ball up the court.
Additionally, coming into last year, many perceived Frankamp as a sharpshooter from behind the arc, yet he ended the year shooting 31 percent from 3-point range. In his last season at Brewster Academy, Graham was shooting 40 percent from downtown. While he might not be noted for his 3-point shot, look for Graham to contribute if he's open behind the arc.
Graham can also wow his way into the rotation with his ball-handling skills and his ability to distribute the ball. In his last year at Brewster Academy, Graham averaged five assists per game. This noted ability to distribute the ball is the type of play that can get a young player like Graham noticed
and into the rotation. Look for coach Bill Self to put in Graham when the ball needs to be moved smoothly.
This distribution is exactly what the Jayhawks need in the upcoming season. Between losing junior point guard Naadir Tharpe, the main point guard from last season, due to transfer, and losing the ability to stretch out opposing defenses with two superstar talents like Andrew Wiggins and Joel Embiid, ball movement seems to be one area of concern for the 2014-15 Jayhawks. Now it seems that Graham will help to ease those growing pains this season.
As with any freshman player, the expectations need to be kept within reason because it takes time to get adjusted to the college game, but by the time conference play begins on Jan. 7 against Baylor, Graham will be a great option for the Jayhawks.

JAMES HOYT/KANSAN hburn Alexander
Kansas freshman forward Cliff Alexander said he "had the butterflies" in the hours prior to his college debut at Allen Fieldhouse on Monday night.
It was hard to tell — he looked as comfortable as anyone on the court, finishing the night with a team-high 14 points on 6-for-8 shooting in Kansas' 85-53 defeat of Washburn.
"I felt good going into the game," Alexander said. "Coach just told me to come out and play my hardest and that's what I did."
A surprise to many, the blue-chip prospect wasn't included in the Jayhawks' starting lineup on Monday. Junior forwards Perry Ellis and Jamari Traylor began the game as Kansas' two big men. However, Alexander served as one of Self's first players off the bench, entering the contest just five minutes into the game.
It didn't take long for his presence to be felt. He notched six points in his first two minutes of play, going 3-for-3 from the field in the process. The Ichabods employed several different formations to slow down the freshman in the paint — all to no avail.
Alexander made the most of his seven first-half minutes, finishing with an impressive 10 points, four rebounds and three blocks.
"Cliff was great the first half," sophomore guard Frank Mason said. "He got in, got offensive rebounds, defensive rebounds, and even scored inside. He was a big plus tonight."
With a comfortable 29-point advantage entering the second half, Kansas slowed down its offensive tempo a bit. Alexander was on the floor for 10 minutes in the second period, taking only two shot attempts in that time. He finished the half with four points and five rebounds.
Even with the Jayhawks' large lead, Alexander's physical style of play was on full display for the entire evening; though it was a much more controlled physicality than many anticipated. In 17 minutes of action, he recorded only one foul on a swat attempt that
he maintained was "a clean block" in the post-game press conference.
Nobody may have been more surprised at this than Kansas coach Bill Self, who has expressed concern about Alexander's ability to stay out of foul trouble this preseason. At the Jayhawks' media day, Self said that "[Alexander's] idea of being physical would be getting three fouls in the first five minutes."
"I am surprised at that," Self said. "I was shocked the first half, I don't think that [Washburn] got to the bonus in the
first half. That was a pleasant surprise to me, that they didn't do that."
Defensively, Alexander was a nuisance for Washburn all night, as its inferior post players simply couldn't match up with the big-bodied freshman. Offensively, he was just as effective, cleaning up several misses from teammates underneath the basket as he ended with the evening four offensive rebounds. With 14 points and nine rebounds, he finished one rebound short of a double-double.
If there were indeed butterflies, Alexander certainly didn't show it. He looked every part of the dominant force that he's been made out to be this preseason.
But even after his quality numbers in his Kansas debut, Alexander wasn't overly impressed with his performance - he said he still hasn't come
— he said he still hasn't come close to reaching his ceiling.
"It ain't even started yet," he said. "By the end of the season, I think I'll potentially have reached my peak."

PRIME PLAYS

Just seconds after Cliff Alexander checked in, he pulled down an offensive rebound and put it right back up for an easy two points. This improved Alexander's confidence tremendously, as he went on to snag two more offensive boards before the half.
Kelly Dubre Jr.'s fast break dunk. (11:45 mark in the second half)
Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk dove on the ground for a loose ball and shovel-passed it to Wayne Selden Jr. who passed it to Dubre for the fast break jam.
This marked the first large ovation from the crowd, during which Washburn used a timeout.
Hunter Mickelson's second block (7:07 second half)
Washburn senior guard Korey Fisher drove to the lane, meeting Hunter Mickelson at the basket and sending the ball flying into the second row. Washburn immediately called another timeout as Kansas was led by 34. After the timeout, Kansas forced a turnover, which led to an easy transition bucket for Frank Mason.

COMMENTARY
Jayhawks' size proves too much for Ichabods
By Blair Sheade
@RealBlairSheady
Little can be taken away from an exhibition game against an in-state Division II school, but the eye test showed Kansas has size and depth during the 85-53 win over the Washburn Ichabods.
Kansas started the game with two guards under six feet tall, freshman Devonte' Graham and sophomore Frank Mason, alongside sophomore guard Wayne Selden Jr., junior forward Jamari Traylor and junior forward Perry Ellis.
When Kansas subbed out both Graham and Mason, sophomore Brannen Greene and freshman Kelly Oubre Jr. entered the game, creating a lineup that towered over the opponents from Topeka.
The lineup didn't feature any player under 6-foot-5. Self said he is forced to use taller players like Selden and freshman guard Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk following the recent release of former guard Conner Frankamp.
"We played Wayne [Selden] at the point a couple different times," Self said. "When we play [Selden] at the point, 6-foot-5 will be the smallest guy we have on the floor. Wayne [Selden] isn't used to doing that a lot and up until last week, we didn't anticipate a lot of different situations where we do that a lot."
The most frequent lineup Self used tonight was Selden at point guard, Svi at shooting guard, Oubre at small forward, Ellis at power forward and Alexander at center. The only player listed under 6-foot-7 was Selden, standing at 6-foot-5.
The lineup played for five minutes while offering few chances to score and keeping the ball alive on offense, Washburn coach Bob Chipman said. During the five-minute span, Alexander made three consecutive offensive rebounds against the Ichabods, who didn't score a single goal.
Though Self was frustrated with Kansas' offensive performance when using its "big" set, the Jayhawks were dominant on the defensive end, when the average height on the court was 6-foot-7. In the first half alone, Kansas recorded seven blocks from four different players, and the team grabbed 19 defensive rebounds.
Self said before Frankamp left the team, he envisioned Selden playing more at the four than at the one. Self also mentioned Mykhailiuk, at 6-foot-7, could play point guard because of his ball-handling skills.
"We looked helpless there at times," Chipman said. "They've got a great group, and they're so big and strong."

ANDY LARKIN/KANSAN
@Ben Felderstein
The start of the 2014-15 Kansas basketball season began similarly to the season openers of the past.
Allen Fieldhouse was packed with 16,300 fans. The band, the hype, the videos, everything was in order for another season of Jayhawk basketball.
It began with another blowout of an overmatched opponent. Kansas defeated the Washburn Ichabods 85-53 on Monday in an in-state exhibition game.
However, one thing was different. There were four new faces in the rotation for the first preseason game. And these four faces made quite the difference in their first game in the Phog.
Freshman guard Devonte Graham got the nod at point guard against Washburn, while fellow freshmen Kelly Oubre Jr., Cliff Alexander and Sviatoslov Mykhailliuk started the game on the bench. While Graham's classmates didn't start, they had a major impact on the outcome of the game.
"I wanted to start all returning guys," Bill Self said. "I was going to start Brannen (Green) but he had a rough defensive practice yesterday so I threw Devone' in there."
on the offensive side, putting up 18 points in the first eight minutes including six quick and easy points from Alexander. He sunk his first four shots, three of which came off of offensive boards. Having multiple inches and dozens of pounds on most Washburn players. Alexander was nearly impossible to stop down low throughout the contest.
Kansas got off to a quick start
"Cliff and Landen (Lucas) are our best defensive rebounders." Self said. "Cliff had a good first game, but has a lot of improvements to make."
Along with Alexander's 10 first-half points, his three fellow freshmen added another 10, giving freshmen 20 of Kansas' 42 first-half points. Mykhalihuk and Oubre showed their 3-point range throughout the contest and their willingness to shoot.
Heading into half, Washburn was unable to crack into double digits until there were only three minutes left to play in the half. The Jayhawks were strong on the defensive end, and limited Washburn's second-chance points. Kansas headed to the locker room with a commanding 42-13 lead.
Svi dove for a loose ball and was able to get it to sophomore Wayne Selden Jr. who found Oubre for the easy dunk at the 11-minute mark.
The second half of the game featured more of the same Kansas domination and freshman effort, highlighted by a breakaway jam from Oubre.
This play was reflective of Kansas' effort throughout the game. The Jayhawks were diving all over the floor, pulling down offensive boards and winning 50-50 balls. As far as effort goes the Jayhawks were steps ahead of the Ichabods all night.
"We aren't where we are capable of being yet," Graham said of the freshman class. "We played quick and got out on fast breaks really well I thought we played well."
At the game's end, freshmen combined for 36 of the team's 85 points. Alexander pulled down four offensive rebounds, nine total and shot 6-for-8 from the field, putting up a team-high 14 points and three blocks. Mykhaliliuk and Oubre combined for 3-for-8 from behind the arc while Graham shot 3-for-5 from the floor adding three assists and two steals.
As the game reached the five-minute mark in the second half, all four freshmen were on the court at the same time with junior Perry Ellis. Although they weren't particularly efficient on the offensive side together, they played strong defense and played
with high energy.
Alongside Ellis, the four checked out of their first game at the fieldhouse for the final time to a large roar from the fans remaining in attendance. With its first game behind them, the future seems bright for the youth of this Kansas
basketball squad.
"I was pleased with their (the freshmen) game tonight," Self said. "They looked good defensively, and the effort was there."

Bowen: KU football culture is changing
JOHN DEMING
Interim head coach Clint Bowen warms up with the team before its game against Oklahoma State on Oct. 11. The program's energy has picked up since Bowen took over on Sept. 28.
JAMES HOYT/KANSAN
SHANE JACKSON
@jacksonshane3
While many were left speechless Saturday following Kansas' 60-14 beatdown against one of the best offenses in the country, interim head coach Clint Bowen was not among them.
"The culture of our program is so much different than it was weeks ago when this whole thing started," Bowen said. "From the way we carry ourselves to the way we practice, the mindset of the players, it's completely different. The culture of the team is moving in a positive direction."
Bowen has reason to remain optimistic after Saturday's performance. They move away from a championship-caliber team like Baylor to Iowa State (2-6, 0-5), a team fighting for its first conference win.
But Bowen doesn't plan to take any team lightly in one of the nation's premier conferences.
"Playing these guys is no different than last week," Bowen said. "It's the next game, and you do everything in your power to prepare for the next game."
It is true that the Cyclones are no Baylor Bears, but this is a team Kansas cannot take lightly despite the identical record. The Cyclones handed the Jayhawks a 34-0 loss following Kansas' lone conference victory last season, when many thought Kansas could defeat Iowa State to break its road-losing streak.
Though the Jayhawks may not break their road-losing streak, they may be able to give Bowen his dream job if they were to win Saturday.
"My job right now is to give these players the best chance to win," Bowen said. "From a game-plan standpoint and a day-to-day work basis, and establish where Kansas football needs to go."
Since Bowen took the job five weeks ago, the Jayhawks have lost all four games, nearly knocking off then-ranked Oklahoma State. Despite the losing streak, the Jayhawks have been playing noticeably better in recent weeks.
It's evident the program has improved under the leadership of Bowen. With a win on Saturday, Bowen could likely have his interim tag removed, yet his focus is on the players.
"That's not what this is about," Bowen said. "This is about our players and our program and doing what Dr. Zenger and I talked about on the very first day and that's trying to establish an identity we want Kansas football to be"
That identity may become clearer after Saturday.
Edited by Rob Pyatt
NEWS AND NOTES:
— Derrick Neal and Keon Stowers both participated in team activities on Sunday. Both were taken off the field on stretches on Saturday and taken to the hospital for further evaluation.
Bowen promoted wide receivers coach Eric Kiesau to co-offensive coordinator prior to Saturday's game to join John Reagan.
This Saturday is highlighted by the return of Mark Mangino, who is serving as offensive coordinator for Iowa State.

MIRANDA DAVIS
@MirandaDavisUDK
ine Parking and Transit department issued 86 citations Monday night during the first basketball game of the season. Donna Hultine, director of Parking and Transit, said that number is pretty typical for the first game of the season.
One of the lots that is blocked off for games is lot 90 by the Ambler Student Recreation and Fitness Center, which is majorly a yellow parking pass lot where many students park. Hultine said since it's a mostly student lot, if tickets are issued there, it will be a majority of them who receive tickets.
Of the citations issued, 62 of them were students, eight were faculty and the other 16 were either unidentified, visitor or non-university. Out of the 86 citations issued, 72 were in lot 90, 11 in the Allen Fieldhouse Garage and three
in lot 71, located between Hoglund Ballpark and Allen Fieldhouse. Parking and Transit issued a total of 226 tickets overall Monday, according to Hultine.
Students who park in lot 90 and have to be on campus for other activities during basketball games should move their car to another yellow lot, Hultine said. Lots 61, 63 and 34, located next to the computer science building on Sunnyside Avenue are available after 5 p.m. for those who have valid permits. Lot 300 and 302 on West Campus are available to yellow permit holders, where there is shuttle to bring students to campus.
The parking department put up signs 48 hours in advance of all games and it's important for students to be aware of the schedule and the signage in the lot, Hultine said.

COMMENTARY Jayhawks' size proves too much for Ichabods
By Blair Sheade
@RealBlairSheady
Little can be taken away from an exhibition game against an in-state Division II school, but the eye test showed Kansas has size and depth during the 85-53 win over the Washburn Ichabods.
Kansas started the game with two guards under six feet tall, freshman Devonte' Graham and sophomore Frank Mason, alongside sophomore guard Wayne Selden Jr., junior forward Jamari Traylor and junior forward Perry Ellis.
When Kansas subbed out both Graham and Mason, sophomore Brannen Greene and freshman Kelly Oubre Jr. entered the game, creating a lineup that towered over the opponents from Topeka.
The lineup didn't feature any player under 6-foot-5. Self said he is forced to use taller players like Selden and freshman guard Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk following the recent release of former guard Conner Frankamp.
"We played Wayne [Selden] at the point a couple different times," Self said. "When we play [Selden] at the point, 6-foot-5 will be the smallest guy we have on the floor. Wayne [Selden] isn't used to doing that a lot and up until last week, we didn't anticipate a lot of different situations where we do that a lot."
Seit said before Frankamp left the team, he envisioned Selden playing more at the four than at the one. Self also mentioned Mykhaiiuk, at 6-foot-7, could play point guard because of his ball-handling skills.
Though Self was frustrated with Kansas' offensive performance when using its "big" set, the Jayhawks were dominant on the defensive end, when the average height on the court was 6-foot-7. In the first half alone, Kansas recorded seven blocks from four different players, and the team grabbed 19 defensive rebounds.
The most frequent lineup Self used tonight was Selden at point guard, Svi at shooting guard, Oubre at small forward, Ellis at power forward and Alexander at center. The only player listed under 6-foot-7 was Selden, standing at 6-foot-5.
The lineup played for five minutes while offering few chances to score and keeping the ball alive on offense, Washburn coach Bob Chipman said. During the five-minute span, Alexander made three consecutive offensive rebounds against the Ichabods, who didn't score a single goal.
"We looked helpless there at times," Chipman said. They've got a great group, and they're so big and strong."

86 cars ticketed during basketball game
MIRANDA DAVIS
@MirandaDavisUDK
The Parking and Transit department issued 86 citations Monday night during the first basketball game of the season. Donna Hultine, director of Parking and Transit, said that number is pretty typical for the first game of the season.
One of the lots that is blocked off for games is lot 90 by the Ambler Student Recreation and Fitness Center, which is majorly a yellow parking pass lot where many students park. Hultine said since it's a mostly student lot, if tickets are issued there, it will be a majority of them who receive tickets.
Of the citations issued, 62 of them were students,eight were faculty and the other 16 were either unidentified visitor or non-university. Out of the 86 citations issued,72 were in lot 90,11 in the Allen Fieldhouse Garage and three

in lot 71, located between Hoglund Ballpark and Allen Fieldhouse. Parking and Transit issued a total of 226 tickets overall Monday, according to Hultine.
Students who park in lot 90, and have to be on campus for other activities during basketball games should move their car to another yellow lot, Hultine said. Lots 61, 62 and 34, located next to the computer science building on Sunnyside Avenue are all available after 5 p.m. for those who have valid permits. Lots 300 and 302 on West Campus are available to yellow permit holders, where there is a shuttle to bring students to campus.
The parking department puts up signs 48 hours in advance of all games and it's important for students to be aware of the schedule and the signage in the lot, Hultine said.

During the first basketball game Monday, 86 people, including 62 students, were ticketed for parking violations.
Federal judge Daniel Crabtree ruled in favor of same-sex marriage for Kansas today, when he granted a preliminary injunction to the plaintiffs in the case. Marie v. Moser. The injunction is a court order that says court clerks can't deny marriage licenses to same-sex couples in Kansas.
Crabtree also put a temporary stay on the injunction, which gives the defense until Nov. 11 to appeal the decision, according to a memorandum and order signed by Crabtree today.
On Friday's hearing of the case, the plaintiff's had requested the preliminary injunction, and the defense had said they would appeal the decision if Crabtree decided to grant it, but Johnson said he has not heard the defense's response since Crabtree's decision came out today.
If the state says it won't appeal, the injunction would go into effect immediately, which means same-sex couples in Kansas could possibly start getting marriage licenses.

A wall at Cork and Barrel, 2000 W. 23rd St., shows students the consequences of using a fake ID when trying to buy alcohol. Louise's has a similar wall.
They've been doing it for as long as Bretta Mick can remember.
FILE PHOTO/KANSAN
At Louise's, a bar located at 1009 Massachusetts St., they take a hard stance on fake IDs, with a sign posted outside the entrance warning patrons the bar will confiscate IDs that they suspect are fake. This warning doesn't deter the bravest among underage drinkers from making the attempt anyway. Those that do are usually caught, and become immortalized by having their ID stapled to the wall of the bar. As of today, there are 1,036 fake IDs lining the walls of Louise's.
Other bars confiscate fake IDs — the Bottleneck turns away underage drinkers at the door and throws the IDs away, while Johnny's Tavern North takes the IDs and seals them away in a drawer. But only Louise's incorporates comedic public shaming into the process.
"Once taken, they are stapled to our wall of fame, or shame, however you'd like to look at it," said Mick, who has been a bartender at Louise's for three and a half years and was an employee when the bar hit the 1,000 ID mark in February of 2014. "No one really gets in trouble, they're not turned over to the police. The police really respect us for not allowing underage drinking in our bar."
一
Mick said the tradition of stapling IDs to the wall has been around since long before she began working there.
When their IDs are taken,
most people are embarrassed
and don't try to argue.
However, some get mad or
try to argue that the ID is, in fact, theirs.
Brock Sheldon, a doorman at Louise's, said these arguments are usually short-circuited by the doormen offering to call the police to come and verify the legitimacy of the identification.
"People freak out about how the ID is really theirs, and we usually just tell them that they can call the cops if they want to, and if they don't, then it was obviously fake," said Sheldon, a senior from Emporia who has worked at Louise's since last April. "If it really is their ID and they want to call the cops to come and scan it, then that's fine. The cops know we're just trying to do our jobs."
Part of the reason for the emphasis on not allowing underage drinkers into Louise's is the bar's need to protect itself. The Kansas Department of Revenue's Alcohol Beverage Control
People have tried unusual tactics to get their IDs back when confiscated. One man went so far as to offer the doorman more than $300 cash to give his ID back.
Although the employees admit that preventing
division is tasked with enforcing alcohol laws, and will send agents posing as regular bar patrons using fake IDs into bars to determine if an establishment is doing its due diligence in keeping out underage drinkers, Mick said. If an agent is able to enter the establishment and is served alcohol, it will typically result in a monetary fine of $100-$250 for the establishment, according to the ABC's website.
"You know, as long as I've been here, we haven't really had problems with underage people," Mick said. "We've actually never gotten fined to my knowledge."
"There's so many bars here that you can get into no matter how old you are. I mean, we don't have the little kids coming in and getting way too drunk and acting stupid," Sheldon said.
Mick also said the bar's well-known way of handling fake IDs results in an older and more mature crowd of patrons, a sentiment echoed by Sheldon.
WHAT A DOORMAN LOOKS FOR:
Brock Sheldon, a doorman at Louise's, said there are a number of different things he looks for when trying to determine the authenticity of an ID.
- The first is the corners and edges of the card itself, typically IDs that are not authentic will have noticeably worn edges and peeling in corners.
- Another giveaway is blurred lettering in parts of the ID, which isn't seen in authentic IDs.
Sheldon doesn't rely solely on the IDs appearance either. Paying attention to potential customers' body language is important.
- If they won't look up or try to keep their face from being looked at, that usually tells Sheldon something is off.
- Other tactics include trying to slip in with groups of patrons that are of age,with some in front and some behind the underage person.
"We want kids to be safe,
that's our No. 1 thing. You're
not supposed to be drinking
underage people from patronizing their establishment is in their best interests, they say the biggest reason they handle IDs the way they do is out of concern for the underage drinkers.
underage, and there are cops all over down here," Mick said. "If you get caught or get a DUI, that's really going to mess things up for you, so just wait until you're 21."

Hawks Helping Hawks releases applications
MIRANDA DAVIS
Hawks Helping Hawks, a student organization that raises money to aid students who have fallen on hard times financially, released its first application this week. Hawks Helping Hawks started last year with fundraising efforts that raised around $6,000. The organization plans to distribute the money once it receives and reviews applications.

The financial award packets, which the group calls Hawk Aid, is need-based. Those applying are required to fill out a financial need form as well as
The group states on the application that it plans to give out aid between $250 and $2,000. It will start reviewing applications Monday.
"We believe that when you come to KU, you become part of the Jayhawk family and any good family looks after each other and makes sure that everyone is doing OK," Bayer said.
Cal Bayer, a senior from Kansas City, Mo., and president of Hawks Helping Hawks, said the organization fosters the idea of a KU family that helps each other out when in need.
Bayer said one in four Jayhawks don't make it to their sophomore year, and while there are many reasons they leave, Hawks Helping Hawks wants to prevent financial burdens from being a reason.
"If you come into a
community and you already know that people are looking out for each other and care about you, and you can care about other people, we think that's going to be beneficial to any student that comes to KU," Bayer said.
Dalton Willey, a sophomore from Salina and vice president of the organization, said his passion for Hawks Helping Hawks comes from his desire to help other first generation college students and help all students realize they are a part of a community.
"I think that we help kids realize that we're not each single individuals going about our day-to-day lives with our own independent struggles, but our struggles can always be helped by the University as a whole and that if everybody's there for each other, every day

The group has done several events this year to help raise funds. The group held "puppy parties" to get donations and spread the group's message. The majority of the money for the aid is donated from other University students.
can be a lot easier for each student here," Willey said.
The applications are accepted on a rolling basis and students can apply at any time of the year. The committee of students that reviews the applications will look over applications whenever needed.

US government lightens PLUS loan qualifications
KELSIE JENNINGS
@kelcjen
Next year, it may be easier for students to pay for college with help from the U.S. Department of Education, which is making it easier for parents to qualify for PLUS loans, especially those with bad financial credit. Changes to PLUS loan regulations were published in the Federal Register on Oct. 23, but will go into effect July 1, 2015.
PLUS loans are federal loans that require a parent to be the co-signer for an undergraduate student, since students usually don't have enough credit history to qualify for loans on their own. The PLUS loan is used to cover the leftover cost if students still come up short after other financial aid has been applied to their bills. PLUS loan interest rates are currently fixed at 7.21 percent until June 30, 2015, and parents can't borrow any amount past what is needed, according to a video from the financial aid office.
To get the loan, parents must pass a credit check, and if they don't pass, the PLUS loan is one less option students have to pay for college. Students with little to no credit history and whose parents don't have good enough credit are
at a disadvantage when it comes to paying for college and graduating, so the department decided to redefine what is considered "adverse credit history"
According to a press release from the education department, the definition of "adverse credit history" had not been changed since 1994 when the Direct Loan program started, so the department has redefined it to match the current economy, since economic changes over the last 20 years have affected many families.
Matt Melvin, vice provost of Enrollment Management, said the changes with the loans shouldn't have much of an impact on enrollment. For academic year 2013-14, 2,580 PLUS loans were processed for undergraduate students, according to Brenda Maigaard, assistant vice provost for Financial Aid and Scholarships. Maigaard said their department already provides online loan counseling through its website, but students and parents can also come to the office and speak with someone.
If parents don't pass the credit check for a PLUS loan, they can either apply with an "endorser", which would be a co-signer who would also
have to pass a credit check, or they can appeal the credit decision, according to Maigaard.
"I don't think that students are necessarily a reflection of their parents," said Hannah Sroor, a junior from Lee's Summit, Mo. "I think we're adults and it's shifting the responsibility, so if the student needs a loan, I think that they should be able to get that."
Mearny Aramovich, a junior from Overland Park, uses other federal loans and an academic scholarship to pay for college and said those have been enough to cover what she needs.
Aramovich said she thinks the cost of going to the University is pretty average, but said it's definitely not the cheapest. She said the changes made to the PLUS loans will be good for students who need extra financial help.
"I think that if it's more accessible and it's going to make it easier for more people to go to college, then I think it's great," she said.
If students have questions about financial aid, they can visit affordability.ku.edu, or if they want to know the difference between different loans, they can find out at ku.financialaidtv.com.

Group threatens developer with lawsuit over Kemper Arena
KANSAS CITY. Mo. — A developer withdrew plans to renovate Kemper Arena after the American Royal Association threatened a lawsuit, a letter obtained by The Kansas City Star shows.
An attorney for American Royal, which hosts livestock exhibitions and professional rodeos, told Foutch Brothers in the Oct. 17 letter to quit its efforts to have Kemper Arena declared a historic structure, the newspaper reported. The designation would have helped with financing for Foutch's proposal to turn the arena into a youth sports facility.
"We demand you cease your efforts with respect to the historic designation applications you filed over the city's objection," states the letter to Foutch's lawyer, John Fairfield. "While we have high confidence you will not be successful, those applications impair and impact property which my clients helped to finance and which we have under lease for the next several decades."
When Foutch announced it was dropping its Kemper Arena proposal, representatives of the development firm declined to give more detail about why, only saying the decision was prompted by "circumstances beyond their control."
Foutch and American Royal have spent months pitching plans for the future of the arena. While Foutch's proposal would preserve the arena, plans by American Royal call for tearing it down and replacing it with a multipurpose building.
City Manager Troy Schulte said he was shown the letter by Steve Foutch and that it was the reason the firm backed out.
The letter claims a historic designation would negatively affect American Royal's long-term lease with the city, which continues through 2045, for the American Royal Complex that includes the arena.
Kemper Arena has lost nearly all of its events to the downtown Sprint Center in recent years and is currently idle.
Though the arena is only about 40 years old it could still qualify for a historic designation because it has hosted the 1976 Republican National Convention and many championship sports competitions, said Elizabeth Rosin, a Kansas City historic preservation consultant.

Limited gameday parking rips off students

venient for KU Athletics. According to KU Parking & Transit director Donna Hultine, 62 tickets were given to students who parked in yellow lots 90 (outside the Ambler Student Recreation and Fitness Center) and 71 (beside Allen Fieldhouse) and the Allen Fieldhouse garage last night alone — the first night of the KU basketball season. Additional tickets (faculty, visitor and "unidentified" vehicles) tacked on an additional 24 tickets to bring the total to 86. At $25 each, that's $2,150 that KU Parking will pocket
in one night.
Granted, the signs that said the lot was restricted past 5:30 p.m. were posted outside the lots, but why should students move their cars from spots they paid to park in? Especially when students often don't have a spare 45 minutes between class and other commitments to walk to their car, drive around and find a decent place to park and walk back to campus. It's about as much of a hassle to walk 10 minutes to the car, drive 10 minutes to Park & Ride and bus 15 minutes back to campus.
Students pay $225 — more than half of some paychecks
— to park in yellow lots.

donors, so unless you donate a minimum $100 to Athletics and are an active Williams Fund member, you're out of luck parking in lot 90 on gamedays.
The larger picture, it seems, is: Athletics has made it clear it does not value KU students, only donors who empty their pockets for prime basketball seating (section U, for example) and parking spots.
At what point will it become clear to Athletics and Parking that students — who are paying thousands of dollars to attend KU, much less an extra $200 to pay for a parking permit — should come first instead of deep-pocketed donors?
There are at least six other lots Williams Fund donors can park in for games, three of which are not yellow lots. While closing more than half of the lots for donors wouldn't be fair, lot 90, at
the very least, should still be open on gamedays for students who pay for the spots. It has the most capacity and is where a majority of off-campus students park for class and work. Another alternative would be to allow those with permits who parked in yellow lots to stay without consequence and close off yellow lots to new cars after the restriction time.
Until Athletics and Parking tell us dollars don't overrule students, we'll park in the spots we paid to park in.

Financial anxieties can be alleviated through personal finance course
By Helena Buchmann
@helenabee
W when I accepted my federal student loans for
the first time, I was required to sign a promissory note, as well as complete an activity making sure I understood the terms of accepting student loans. I completed the requirements, but if I'm being honest, as a high school senior, I had no clue what it meant. Today, I still don't know what it means.
I barely know the difference between a subsidized and unsubsidized loan. Students are not required to pay back their loans until they're done with school, but what about compound interest? When do I need to start establishing credit? Should I start saving for retirement now? How does one go about doing that? What are stocks and should I get some?
These are all questions that everyone has asked, or will ask, and the answers can be complicated and frazzling. My parents have tried to explain all of this to me, but it is a daunting subject. Luckily, there's a course offered at the
University called FIN 101 Personal Finance. According to the course description, students should be able to answer all of those questions, and more, by the end of the semester. You'll even know how to do things like take out a mortgage.
Students at KU, regardless of their major, should be required to take personal finance. According to the Project on Student Debt, an initiative of the Institute for College Access & Success, 51 percent of KU graduates in 2012 had student debt, and the average debt was $23,468.
In my experience, most people start making financial decisions as late as college and stop making them when you die. We should be prepared to tackle these decisions and problems head-on, and by simply taking an introductory personal finance course, we would ensure that we at least have a fundamental grasp of what we're dealing with and what lies ahead.

MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE
Alumni launch sunglasses business with a global vision

OJOS Eyewear launched in February and encourages social responsibility and traveling. The company's motto is, "The enthusiastic pursuit of fun and global citizenship."

In 2011, Tyler Reynolds was a senior from Austin, Texas, studying human biology and on track to graduate. All it took to throw Reynolds off that track was a nearly twomonth trip to Barcelona.
Surrounded by rich culture, Reynolds fell in love with the aesthetic and spirit of traveling. He decided to put off his degree and pursue a different passion. It was in Spain that Reynolds created the blueprint for OJOS Eyewear and eventually paired with University alumnus Phil Ozorkiewicz to make that blueprint a reality.
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
"Ultimately with what we're building, it's something that was going to be worth it and I knew that going in," Reynolds said.
OJOS is a sunglasses business based out of Venice, Calif., that encourages social responsibility and traveling. The business' motto is, 'The enthusiastic pursuit of fun and global citizenship.' Reynolds said after stepping outside of his comfort zone and discovering his passion for artistic expression in Barcelona, he had a desire to help others find themselves through traveling as well.
"For me, that had such an amazing impact because it was a light bulb moment when I decided I wanted to be more involved in the creative process and inspire others to have this moment," Reynolds said.
The word "ojos" translates to "eyes" in Spanish, which illustrates the Spanish culture that
inspired Reynolds. However, Ozorkiewicz said it also suggests something deeper.
"You can spin that so many different ways," Ozorkiewicz said. "Changing the way you view the world and the way you look at things, just changing that whole global perspective."
"I love sitting down and being able to create something
Reynolds took this perspective and passion and created designs for the eyewear himself. Reynolds said the design process is therapeutic for him.
from scratch and see it come to life. I think that process clears your head," Reynolds said. "It's a creative outlet that releases endorphins for me."
After a small launch party at Tonic in Lawrence during Reynolds' senior year, he and Ozorkiewicz created campaigns through Indiegogo. After almost two months, they had raised enough funds to begin buying products.
OJOS Eyewear officially launched on Feb. 7. Through the process of starting OJOS from the ground up, Reynolds
said the experience of entrepreneurship was and continues to be an emotional roller coaster.
"There's small victories that seem like massive victories and there's small blows that feel like massive blows, that's just the name of the game," Revnolds said.
With Ozorkiewicz and Reynolds having paid their way through college, the two also share an apartment in Venice that functions as the OJOS Eyewear headquarters. Ozorkiewicz said funding always presents a challenge.
"Not necessarily having the capital you need to get some things done is a roadblock." Ozorkiewicz said. "It's just something that motivates you to work harder to get where you need to go."
Since their launch, Reynolds and Ozorkiewicz said they are attempting to run a business how consumers would want it to be run. OJOS Eyeewear now has six styles that are each available in two different col-

Scholarship program provides trips abroad
MINSEON KIM
@minseonkim94
With the variety of 40 foreign language programs offered at the University and the establishment of the School of Languages, Literatures and Cultures starting as early as next fall, Anne Wallen, assistant director of the National Scholarships and Fellowships at the University Honors Program, said offering Critical Language Scholarships is a good fit for the University.
The Critical Language Scholarship program, which started in 2006, provides a rare opportunity for students who are studying critical languages — languages the U.S. determines important for Americans to know for trade, defense or other strategic reasons. The scholarship provides an immersive language program and cultural experience abroad for two months during the summer. The CLS
The national deadline for the 2015 summer scholarship is Nov. 12. As it approaches, a workshop will be held Thursday from 1-3 p.m. in room 318 of Bailey Hall. The workshop will provide help for students who have already started the application process. Wallen said students who attend the workshop will be able to put finishing touches on their drafts and enhance all aspects of their application. Students who are interested in applying for the Critical Language Scholarship can contact Wallen.
also covers the cost of most of the cultural activities abroad, room and board, airfare and language classes.
"This is one [scholarship] that matches well to KU's strengths, and we've had a fair number of students get the scholarship in the last several years," Wallen said.
As a federal scholarship, it focuses on representing diversity within the U.S. and
accounts for the diversity of majors, ethnicities, socioeconomic backgrounds and more.
"KU does relatively well compared to other Kansas institutions, but they still, at the national level, would like more Kansans generally to apply," Wallen said.
"... when you travel abroad, you do things that you never usually do, and I am glad I did."
GARVEY BURROWS Senior from Miami, Fla.
She said the application process itself is a learning opportunity for students since they write about themselves and what they want to study in a different way than they would write in class. Students will be notified in January if
Sally Kagay, a senior from Topeka, was one of those four. Kagay received the scholarship to study Farsi. She said she still remembers the moment she received the scholarship.
they are finalists and will find out later in the spring semester if they are receiving the scholarship fund. Though the CLS does not announce how many finalists there are each year, four students from the University were scholarship recipients last year.
[I was] ecstatic," Kagay said. "I took a screenshot of the email and still have it in my iPhone."
Kagay said living with a host family was one of the best parts of studying abroad in Tajikistan. She said there were children in the family she was staying with, so it was a lot of fun to practice the language with them.
Garvey Burrows, a senior from Miami, Fla., was another recipient of the scholarship
from Kansas, he also studied Farsi. He received the scholarship after applying for the second time. He said the second time he applied he had refined his Farsi-related experience, such as waking up at 3 or 4 a.m. to Skype with students in Tajikistan during the past year and becoming a Farsi tutor.
Wallen said prior application experience is asked in the application questions as a way to show sincerity and long-term interest in learning the critical language.
During his time abroad, Burrows said he remembers leaving the city of Tajikistan and camping on the weekend with other CLS members.
"I think that's the time I will never forget," he said. "I have never been camping in the U.S., but I think when you travel abroad, you do things that you never usually do, and I am glad I did."

ors and offered at $87. Compared with companies like Ray-Ban, this price is catered to the wallets of travelers.
"We want our eyewear to be accessible to people just like us. We're going for our target market in our motto," Reynolds said. "That has a natural travel aesthetic to it."
Reynolds and Ozorkiewicz said that as travelers themselves, they know what can happen when you are constantly on the move. It was important to them that customers could get two pairs of sunglasses for $134.
"We don't want people to have to sacrifice an arm and a leg because we ourselves are building this thing so we ourselves wouldn't want to pay an arm and a leg for eyewear," Revnolds said.
Not only were the two set on offering accessible, quality eyewear, but they were also set on improving something dear to their hearts. Ozorkiewicz spent most of his life traveling and camping and said he has witnessed beautiful places destroyed by deforestation and environmental tragedies.
"It's a terrible thing to see. I figured if we were going to do something, we have to do it right," Ozorkiewicz said. "Not just volunteering our time but creating a product that can inspire others to have fun get out there and make a difference in the world."
With every pair of glasses sold, 10 trees are planted
"We want our eyewear to be accessible to people just like us. We're going for our target market in our motto."
through the Trees for the Future organization. To date, OJOS Eyewear has indirectly planted 3,000 trees. The business also taxes themselves a one percent "earth tax," which is donated to 1 Percent for the Planet and, in turn, other organizations that are earth friendly. The pouches that OJOS' eyewear come in also support and create jobs for indigenous women in India who hand craft them.
Reynolds said as a young company, they don't always fully appreciate their product's contribution to these causes, as they are not on a large scale. However, Reynolds said he is still proud.
TYLER REYNOLDS Co-founder of OJOS Eyewear
"That was sort of surreal when that mass order of pouches came in and we knew that each and every one was hand woven and provided income for these indigenous women in India," Reynolds said.
Not only touching the lives of those overseas, but also closer to home, Ozorkiewicz said with each pair of sunglasses sold, a handwritten thank-you note is sent along with it.
"Just to show the customer that they are extremely important to us," Ozorkiewicz said. "It is really an OJOS family and a collective people trying to make a difference in this world."
Reynolds and Ozorkiewicz said they plan on expanding their eyewear styles and hope to return to their roots in Lawrence someday to sell

THE DAILY DEBATE
Who's better? Peyton Manning or Tom Brady?
By Sean Collins
@Seanzie
"TOM BRADY"
On Sunday, Tom Brady once again proved that he was the better
quarterback between himself and Peyton Manning. The two pure pocket-passers are arguably the best to ever play the position, but Brady takes the prize.
The New England Patriots throttled the Denver Broncos 43-21 on Sunday. While Manning had 438 yards passing and two touchdowns, he also threw two interceptions and couldn't keep up with Tom Brady, who had 333 yards, four touchdowns and only one interception, which was his first in four weeks.
Aside from the season, Brady has always done more with less. According to pro-football-reference.com, Brady has only had four Pro Bowl receivers his entire career: Randy Moss, Wes Welker,
Matt Slater and Troy Brown, along with one tight end, Rob Gronkowski. For the duration of his career, Manning has had the luxury of having top NFL receivers since he entered the league. He has thrown to seven Pro Bowlers: Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, Dallas Clark, Ken Dilger, Demaryius Thomas, Julius Thomas and Wes Welker.
Even with the lack of weapons, what really separates Brady is his postseason stats. Brady has always been better in the clutch, with an 18-8 career postseason record, via NFL.com. This includes three Super Bowls in five appearances. Manning has struggled in the postseason his entire career. Outside of his Super Bowl victory in 2006, Manning has had an abysmal playoff record of 11-11 (4-0 in 2006). This record includes getting knocked out eight times in the first round.
Along with the win-loss woes,
Peyton takes much of the blame for the losses, throwing 22 interceptions in the postseason. His quarterback rating drops from a 97.7 in the regular season to a 90.5 in the playoffs. Brady, however, has thrown for 43 touchdowns, which according to NFL.com, is two shy of Joe Montana's record. Manning has 36 playoff touchdowns.
Manning may have the edge in many categories; holding records for touchdowns in a season and career passing touchdowns. However, when it comes to clutch situations in the playoffs, Brady has continuously gotten the job done more than Manning. After Sunday's matchup, Brady is now 11-5 against Manning, holding a clear edge against him for his entire career. Manning may have the impressive records and the insane regular season statistics, but Brady wins when it is most important, and that is what makes him the better quarterback.

"PEYTON MANNING"
At 38 years old, this could very well be Peyton Manning's last year in the league. The only person that really knows that is Manning himself and his decision may likely depend on how the Denver Broncos finish out the season. Regardless, when Peyton Manning hangs up his cleats he will go down as arguably the best to ever play the game. Manning will be in the top-five in virtually every passing category in the history of the NFL. He just broke Brett Favre's all-time passing touchdown record and has currently extended it to 515 with no signs of slowing down. The man is an offensive coordinator on the field.
Tom Brady has had more postseason success and that is understandable because he has won three Super Bowls to Peyton's one. If we are going off Super Bowl wins why doesn't Terry Bradshaw come into the conversation because he won four? The reason is quite simply Super Bowl victories equate from a good team not just an exceptional quarterback. Brady has had great teams every time he has won a Super Bowl. He has had a Hall of Fame coach sitting next to him on the sideline for his entire career. Peyton has had five different head coaches and has been through a number of offensive coordinators as well. To many people around the league, Manning is the most prepared quarterback anyone has ever seen. He is impossible to prepare for because his photographic memory will remember a blitz ran against him ten
years ago or a play he ran in the third quarter five years ago, which makes him almost impossible to prepare for.
When asked how to stop Manning by ESPN, New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan said, "We've got to be like that goalie for the Rangers," referring to Henrik Lundqvist. "We've got to stand on our head. We've got to play our best game, there's no question about it, and hope he has an off day. That's how you stop this guy. In other words, it doesn't really happen." If this is Peyton's last year in the league, look for him to hoist the Lombardi Trophy. He will most likely have to go through Tom Brady and the Patriots to do it. Brady has the series lead of 11-5, but what a way out it would be to finish on top by going through his rival.

Bowen prepares for Iowa State, Mangino matchup
BLAIR SHEADE
@TheRealBlairSheady
The matchup Saturday will be a special homecoming for a former Kansas coach. Iowa State offensive coordinator Mark Mangino was the head coach at Kansas from 2002-2009, and interim coach Clint Bowen was the defensive coordinator during the reign of Mangino. Bowen met with the media Tuesday to discuss the Kansas matchup against Iowa State and the Mangino offense.
Bowen coaching under Mangino
Bowen worked under Mangino for eight seasons at Kansas, and Bowen said Mangino showed how to prepare a football team and emphasized work ethic. Mangino taught Bowen to
pay attention to details, and Bowen learned the little things do matter. Mangino had everything so precise on the team that he enforced the players to wear the same gear the same way every practice.
"We worked hard and developed a good program," Bowen said. "It was just a standard that was set that the players had to meet at all times, and it was philosophical the way things probably should be."
Looking to Satuday
After the loss to Baylor, Kansas was immediately focused on Iowa State, but Bowen might have been focusing on this game a little too early. Bowen said this game is special, but looking ahead to opponents isn't anything new, and most weeks the coordinators plan out their
following weeks the Friday before the game.
"Yeah, but it wasn't due
"The [offensive] coordinator just kind of has the final say on what he really wants and what he's truly trying to put together. But it's always a collective effort."
CLINT BOWEN Kansas interim head coach
to Iowa State," Bowen said. "That's just the normal routine. Any time we had a little extra time on Friday, we always glanced ahead."
Preparing for Mangino The offense that Mangino runs at Iowa State is similar
to the offense he ran while at Kansas. Bowen said the offenses are similar, but football has changed over the years. Bowen doesn't know what the latest Manginoscheme is because the two coaches haven't talked in a long time.
"There's just a lot of different wrinkles, things going on now that they're up to what everyone else is doing, where that 2009 stuff is kind of — teams have moved through that," Bowen said.
iowa State offense
Currently, the Cyclones are the only team other than Kansas to be winless in the Big 12. Unlike Kansas, Iowa State ranks in the nation's top 100 for total offense. Iowa State junior quarterback Sam Richardson leads the Cyclones
in total rushing yards as well as passing yards. Iowa State's other weapon is senior tight end E.J. Bibbs, who leads the cyclones with six touchdowns can line up all over the field. Bowen said.
"E.J. Bibbs can line up as a wide receiver and is very effective running routes, catching the ball," Bowen said. "[Bibb's] 260 pounds, runs really well, runs good routes. He's a talented young man. He's of the better dual threat players in the conference."
Kansas has new cooffensive coordinator
Since the Baylor loss, the Kansas staff has made some changes. Kansas wide receivers coach Eric Kiesau will team up with John Reagan to call plays Saturday. Reagan, also the offensive line coach,
had a lot on his plate, and Bowen wanted Reagan to pay more attention to the offensive line. Bowen said even though Kiesau and Reagan will be labeled co-coordinators, other coaches give their input into the offensive planning.
"The communication is always bouncing off the wall, really not just amongst the two coordinators but amongst the entire staff," Bowen said. "The coordinator just kind of has the final say on what he really wants and what he's truly trying to put together. But it's always a collective effort."

REMINISCING ON THE ROYALS
Old fans and new fans alike look back on a Royals season for the ages

Fans display signs of support during the Season Celebration by the Kansas City Royals for the community Thursday at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.

Gretchen Beaver was not originally a Kansas City Royals fan. Up until the Royals played the Oakland Athletics in the Wild Card game, she had never watched an entire game.
beaver, a senior from Independence, was instantly drawn in and found a community.
That first Wild Card game,
"I've been watching the Royals for so long and to see the community that came together in Lawrence even was really neat."
ALEX BLAU
Senior from Overland Park
there were so many hits and steals and everything, and I realized this is a lot more entertaining than I thought it would be." Beaver said. "I kept watching, and they kept winning, and so I'm like 'I'm hooked.'"
She is one of many students at the University who were
caught up in watching the Royals' postseason run to the World Series. All over campus there was newfound interest in the team, students were wearing Royals gear and people were bonding over the team's success.
"Just walking down the street in a Royals shirt, shouting out 'Go Royals,' it's like the Rock Chalk," Beaver said. "It was the same type of thing, but for 'Royals."
Alex Blau, a senior from Overland Park, also felt the Royals brought people together.
"It's funny because Kansas City has always kind of been divided with politics and whatnot, but for the past month, to have a team kind of bring the city together and be one was really cool," Blau said. "I definitely saw a switch, and I think going forward, it's going to be really great for the city."
Drawn in by the beauty of Kauffman Stadium, Blau said he has been a fan since he was 5 or 6 years old. Unlike those who started watching the Royals for the first time this past month, Blau said he watched
most of the regular season games this year.
According to ESPN, 77 percent of the televisions that were turned on last Wednesday in the Kansas City market were playing Game 7 of the World
Series. In Lawrence, watch parties or restaurant viewings during the postseason games were common.
"I've been watching the Royals for so long and to see the community that came together
in Lawrence even was really neat," Blau said. "It was nice to be a part of."
"I was able to say 'Royals are on,' and instantly I was part of the community." Beaver said. "I was instantly a friend, so the Royals brought together a little good friend group wherever you went."
On campus, the Royals' success became a common topic that could break the ice.

Remembering the Royals' roller coaster ride
By Shane Jackson
@JacksonShane3
I remember sitting in the Kansas City T-Bones press box in CommunityAmerica Ballpark after the Boston Red Sox had swept the Kansas City Royals in the first series after the All-Star Break. The Trade Deadline was approaching and James Shields' inevitable departure was just around the corner.
"I will give them one more series," I said back then to a couple fellow media interns. "A loss to the Chicago White Sox and it's time to get something back for James Shields."
History had done little for us to believe otherwise. In the past the Royals were asked just to get fans through the summer and to Chiefs season. Give us relevance until August, and we were just fine.
I wasn't the only one who felt that way. Fellow fans and local media alike were echoing my comments. I remembered vividly 610 sports host Danny Parkins talking about the Kansas City Chiefs reporting to camp at the same time the Royals had lost their fourth straight since the All-Star Break.
Last year was even better than we could have imagined. The Royals were mathematically in it until the final weekend of the regular season, giving us relevant baseball through September.
That was until this year.
Kansas City has been, and always will be, a football town. The Chiefs will dominate the talk at the coffee shop as the fall draws near.
Then, the Chiefs gave the fans a magical season that led to a playoff berth following a season in which they were the worst in the league.
The stage was set. Chiefs players began to report as the Royals dropped their fourth straight loss following the All-Star Break on July 21. But then it began. The Royals beat the White Sox and wound up winning their next 11 series, a streak that continued through the end of August. It gave Kansas City fans hope once more.
It wasn't the first time this season the Royals had toyed with my emotions. On May 29, the Royals were just 24-28 and beginning to slide once again.
But a misfire from Blue Jays shortstop Jose Reyes allowed Jarrod Dyson to tie it up in the ninth. Kansas City then went on to win the game in the 10th inning and went on a 10-game winning streak, the longest in the majors this season.
Even last year the Royals entered the All-Star Break with a dismal 43-49 record but went 43-27 to finish the year.
Kansas City needed another huge second half this season to make a magical playoff run that ended with a heartbreaking World Series loss in Game 7 to the San Francisco Giants.
But in its first playoff appearance in nearly three decades, the Royals needed just one month to bring baseball back for good in Kansas City.
It remains uncertain who will take the diamond come Opening Day 2015, but one thing remains certain. At any point next year the Royals will have you losing faith, only to bring you back in to enjoy the ride.
Let's just hope the ride is as good as this last one.

Kansas players deserving of All-American team honors

On Monday, the Associated Press released its annual preseason college basketball All-American team. This team predicts which five players will have the best season at their respective positions. While not always accurate, the prediction always ignites conversation.

While many of the players on the team are certainly deserving of the preseason honor, there is a noticeable lack of representation from the University of Kansas on the list.

After averaging a respectable 9.7 points per game and 2.6 rebounds per game, Selden looks primed for a huge season. After lingering in the shadows behind top-three NBA draft picks Andrew Wiggins and Joel Emblid, Selden looks to show the country why he was selected as a McDonald's All-American in his final year of high school. He should get ample opportunities to showcase his athleticism and shooting ability throughout the season.

Freshman forward Cliff Alexander is also deserving of cracking the All-American lineup. In Monday night's season-opening exhibition game against Washburn, Alexander scored a team-high 14 points on 6-for-8 shooting, grabbed nine
rebounds and recorded three blocks in only 17 minutes of playing time. If those numbers are any preview of what is to come, Alexander could have a special year. Observer Paige

All of these players will take on starring roles on their respective teams and will have a great shot to make a big impact on the college basketball world in this upcoming season. However, there are a few Jayhawks who deserved to have a shot to be put on a list with those elite players. Ellis, Selden and Alexander will have a long season to make sure the AP understands its mistake in snubbing them.

Kansas looks to gain separation in Big 12 ranks
Edited by Logan Schlossberg
MATT CORTE
@Corte_UDK
With just one win separating fourth place Kansas volleyball (16-7,4-5) from the bottom of the Big 12, you could say parity is a word that strongly describes this conference thus far.
Tayler Soucie, center, and her teammates celebrate a point against TCU on Nov. 1. Kansas is just one win away from fourth place in the Big 12.
Behind the top three Big 12 records of Texas, Kansas State, and Oklahoma, six schools sit within two games of each other halfway through the conference season.
RFN LIPOWITZ/KANSAN
A sense of urgency is likely brewing in the Jayhawks, as this parity shows it's going to be difficult for Kansas to sweep any conference season series.
Just look at this past Saturday's match as evidence. The Jayhawks lost in five sets to an average TCU team after pummeling the Horned Frogs in Lawrence two weeks before.
Now, Kansas hopes to recover from that loss and beat a Baylor team (13-11, 3-6) that is only a game behind in the standings.
teams five and below on our heels, so every match is going to be important."
Unlike the scenario in which Kansas first won at home and then lost to TCU on the road, Kansas has a chance at sweeping the season series against Baylor in Lawrence after already beating the Bears in Waco.
"We got Baylor and [Texas] Tech, and those are teams that are biting on our heels a bit," coach Ray Bechard said. "We could have created some separation with this match [against TCU], but we kept all those
If history repeats itself, however, as it often does, this match should be another tight one.
Since 2008, a team has swept the season series only once, and that was last season when Kansas swept Baylor.
One statistic favoring the Jayhawks' chances to win is that the team has only lost to Baylor once at home since 2008, and the challenge of defeating the Bears on the road is already taken care of.
Then again, Baylor's two-match winning streak is also its longest in the Big 12 this season, so the Bears will be coming in with momentum.
In order to achieve victory, Kansas should follow one simple rule: stop junior outside hitter Andie Malloy.
Although the Bears rank seventh in the Big 12 in kills per set at 13.21, Malloy individually ranks third in the conference with an average of 4.03 kills per set.
Malloy alone produces about a third of the offense for Baylor, so shutting her down would
cause problems for the Bears.
In order to accomplish that, Kansas has to do what the team does best: blocking.
The Jayhawks are currently second in opponents' hitting
percentage in the Big 12 at .202, and the team's 2.57 blocks per set rank third in conference.
If Kansas is able to hold Baylor close in these statistics,
then an opportunity to sweep the Bears for a second consecutive season should present itself.

COMMENTARY
Washburn savors chance to play Kansas in Allen Fieldhouse
By Ben Felderstein
@Ben Felderstein.
In the beginning of every college season, whether it be football or basketball, the powerhouses around the nation start their season off with weaker opponents. Whether those opponents are Division II or Division I-AA, the result is usually the same — the home team wins in a blowout.
This was the case Monday night when Kansas faced Washburn for the first exhibition game of the season. As expected, Kansas won in a blowout, 85-53. Washburn played hard and put up a good fight but Kansas' size and superior talent ended up being too much for the Ichabods.
After a 32-point loss, it is normal to assume a team is feeling deflated and down on themselves. But that's not the case for coach Bob Chipman and the rest of the team.
"It was a great opportunity for us," Chipman said. "We were able to give guys an opportunity out there and try to come together as a group."
This isn't the only opportunity like this Washburn will get. The rest of its preseason schedule consists of Oklahoma and Kansas State.
"Washburn has the toughest preseason schedule in the nation." Self said jokingly. "If there was a preseason Division II RPI, they'd be number one."
During Washburn's press conference, Chipman told the media that Self went and spoke to Washburn for 15 minutes the night before the game. Self talked to the players while they were shooting just about basketball and getting better.
"It didn't look like it today," Chipman said. "But I guarantee you it's going to be worth five victories for us, coach Self coming out and talking to our group."
For Washburn, it's not about winning, it's about learning and enjoying the moment. It's not every day that Division II basketball players get to play in the greatest college basketball venue in the world and go up against the fifth ranked team in the country.
There is no better place to play a game of basketball than Allen Fieldhouse. For a team like Washburn it should be more about the experience than the game itself.

"I'd definitely say it's the atmosphere," said Washburn guard Korey Fisher, who was asked what he'll remember the most. "As a native Kansan, you always watch KU on TV, but you don't really grasp what it's like until you get on the court."

Kansas to face Oklahoma in first round of Big 12 tournament after Friday's loss
18 15 21 13
BEN CARROLL
@BCarroll91
On Halloween night, No. 14 Kansas soccer lost its final game of the regular season in Norman, Okla., to the Oklahoma Sooners in a game. A draw or a win would have secured the No. 2 seed for Jayhawks in the Big 12 tournament, which begins Wednesday afternoon in Kansas City, Mo. Now penciled in as the No. 3 seed, the Jayhawks are slated for a rematch against the sixth-seeded Sooners at Swope Park Village in Kansas City, Mo., at 8 p.m. Wednesday.
Even though the Jayhawks are coming off a bit of a rough stretch losing three of their last four matches to close out the regular season, coach Mark Francis said he believes they have the competitive edge over the Sooners after dropping Friday's game.
"I think it's hard to beat somebody twice," Francis said. "I think the advantage for us is that we lost. Our guys are pissed off. They're going into the game with a chip on their shoulder because we're playing the same team that we just lost to five days ago."
As if having the opportunity to watch Oklahoma on film and adjust the things they were unable to accomplish Friday wasn't already enough, the Jayhawks have yet another advantage on their side. Because the tournament is only about 45 miles east of Lawrence, Kansas gets the privilege of practicing at Rock Chalk
Park. They also get to sleep in their own beds in Lawrence, as the rest of the conference resides at hotels and practices on Astroturf, which is not the surface the games will be played on.
"I think the traveling takes a toll on your body, so not traveling is going to be nice," junior forward Ashley Williams said. "We're going to have the most fans because [the game] is in Missouri, but it's really close to where we're at. So those two things will be huge pluses for us this week."
The Jayhawks began the season on an eight-game winning streak, then lost a match at Marquette, and went on to win six more in a row. They have the second-leading scorer in the Big 12 on their side in junior midfielder Liana Salazar, who scored a third of the team's goals this season. They are also poised on the defensive side of things, as Kansas has only given up 12 goals all season, a mark that leads the conference.
The biggest advantage of all for Kansas seems to be its senior goalkeeper Kaitlin Stroud, whose 0.61 goals against average leads the Big 12 and only 18 other goalies in the nation sit above that mark. Her 13 career shutouts rank third all-time at Kansas.
"She's a very good goal-keeper," senior defender Caroline Van Slambrouck said. "She's grown so much as a player."
For the Jayhawks, the key to a deep run in the post-season is to strike first and strike early. On only one
occasion has Kansas given up more than one goal in a game.
LOOKING AHEAD:
If Kansas wins Wednesday night, they will go on to play the winner of the Oklahoma State vs. Baylor game, which would be played Friday. Jayhawks already defeated both
the bears and the Cowgirls once this season, but both were won by just one goal. But first, Kansas will need to find a way to take revenge against Oklahoma to move onto the semifinals and potentially the Big 12 championship on Sunday.
"We're excited to play, and
I think it's going to be an advantage," Van Slambrouck said of the scheduled rematch with the Sooners. "Everyone is still fired up from the loss [on Friday], and we're ready to go out and show that we are the better team."

Ellis embracing different type of leadership
KANSAS

SHANE JACKSON
@jacksonshane
There he stood, with media members crowded around him, keying on every soft-spoken word. Perry Ellis seemed more poised on men's basketball media day than in years past. Part of that could be because this is now his third go-around, as he enters his junior campaign.
Perry Ellis pauses during Kansas' exhibition game against Washburn on Monday. As a junior, Ellis is one of the veteran Jayhawks and will look to take on a leadership role for the underclassmen.
"I remember being 17 and not talking at all, but it's got a lot better," Ellis said. "Even my interviews are out the roof better now as I do this more."
JAMES HOYT/KANSAN
It's no secret that Ellis is typically quieter than most of his teammates. On the court, Ellis is the silent assassin, consistently providing reliable production on the offensive end.
That proved to be the case in the first exhibition Monday. Ellis was one of four players to get at least 20 minutes. He finished with nine points, which was tied for the third-most on the team. He knocked down four of his five free throw attempts on a night when the team finished just 50 percent from the line.
Even though Ellis averaged the second-most points per game (13.6) last year, he often flew under the radar compared to freshmen Andrew Wiggins and Joel Embid.
Gone are Wiggins and Embiid. Replacing them are the
less prolific incumbent freshmen replacements Kelly Oubre Jr. and Cliff Alexander. That leaves Ellis as one of the older players on this young squad.
Christian Garrett is the lone senior for Kansas this year. Ellis is one of four juniors including Evan Manning, Hunter Mickelson and Jamari Tralor.
All eyes will turn to the 6-foot-8 forward out of Wichita, as the young Kansas squad is in need of some direction.
Typically leadership means being more vocal, making Ellis' sudden new role a bit of a challenge for him. Knowing his team needs him to play a bigger role, Ellis has been working on the attribute he has struggled with in the past.
Despite Ellis taking on this new role, coach Bill Self doesn't plan to change a thing about his leader.
"Coach knows I'm not a real vocal guy," Ellis said. "But there are situations that you need to be more vocal, and I'm working on that."
"In the past I felt like I had forced some guys out of their comfort zone," Self said. "I'm not going to do that with Perry."
Ellis may not have to be outspoken this year. In fact, Kansas may have a few other players who the newcomers can look to.
"I'm going to have a bigger
role on this team," Traylor said. "I'm one of the older guys, so I'm looking forward to taking a leadership role and helping out some of these younger guys. Not too long ago was me asking the questions."
Perhaps the most talented player on the team is Wayne Selden Jr. He was one of two Jayhawks to start in all 35 games a year ago. But like Ellis, he was often overshadowed by the likes of Embiid and Wiggins.
Like Ellis, Selden may be
An example of that was Selden taking the microphone after the scrimmage at Late Night and thanking the thousands of fans for coming out.
"We have a lot of young guys that are looking up at me even as a sophomore," Selden said. "It's just about being vocal and being supportive."
asked to take a bigger role this year, not just on the court, but off as well.
regardless of who is more vocal, it looks like this trio of Jayhawks will lead the pack this season. Self must feel the
same way since he brought Ellis, Selden and Traylor to address the media at Big 12 Media Day.
Especially for a team with a streak of 10 consecutive conference championships on the line, a group of experienced players leading the way is a good thing.
"We don't want to be the ones to end the streak," Ellis said.
Well said by the man of few words.

A masked man is arrested following in-class protests concerning the University's handling of sexual assault allegations. The man entered classrooms in Budig and Wescoe halls around 1 p.m. Wednesday.

A masked man speaks to students on Wescoe Beach Wednesday afternoon. He said he wants victims of sexual assault to know that they are not alone. He also threatened members of the Kappa Sigma fraternity.

@KansanNews
One man wearing a military uniform and Guy Fawkes masks, recognizable from the movie and novel "V for Vendetta," entered University lecture halls during classes around 1 p.m. Wednesday in Budig and Wescoe halls to protest the University's handling of sexual assault.
"I am here on behalf of the victims of the sexual assault and rape cases that have been happening on campus," the masked man said. "I am here to let them know that they are not alone."
He was arrested on campus around 2 p.m. by the Office of Public Safety, said Captain James Anguiano.
PSO has not confirmed the exact number of individuals associated with the protest, but sent a campus-wide alert at 2:30 p.m. saying two individuals were in custody after "disrupting classes wearing
Nick Benetti, a sophomore from St. Charles, Ill., said the man visited Wescoe 3140 and relayed his message.
PSO sent officers to perform a safety sweep of Wescoe Hall, according to an alert updated at 3:32 p.m. Anguiano said an investigation of the individuals' connections to the protest is ongoing.
masks."
One of the individuals, who did not give his name, said his message was a peaceful demonstration and "the only way to be heard." He said most students laughed and pulled out their cell phones, but the only physical interaction he had was with a professor who tried to grab him and remove his mask.
He said the professor, Brian Staihr, started walking toward the man, which prompted him to leave the classroom.
where we all started ducking down and me and my friends next to me all grabbed each other's arms."
"The people all around me said we all thought he was going to shoot everyone," Voorhees said. "It got to the point
Jade Hall, a senior from Derby, was in Budig when the man came in. She said she thought little of it until others around her started wondering if he had a gun.
Courtney Voorhees, a sophomore from Shawnee, said she was in the Budig 110 lecture hall when one of the masked men entered her classroom. She said students and professors had mixed emotions about the visit.
"After that it started getting kind of scary because I hadn't really been thinking about that and then people brought it up." Hall said. "I was kind of like, 'Wow, this could be really bad.'"
"Everyone got quiet, and we didn't really know what was going on." Benetti said.

"People were terrified," Gadd-Nelson said. "Maybe hang out on Wescoe Beach and talk about it, but go to into the classrooms like that I think was definitely overstepping some boundaries."

Provisional ballots given out to voters who didn't qualify
More than 1,700 Douglas County ballots were not counted in last night's election.
An estimated 1,705 provisional ballots were given out to voters who did not meet requirements to vote in the election, according to Ben Lampe, deputy of elections for the county. The election office has yet to begin sorting the provisional-but will begin this week.
C
Provisionals can be given out for a number of reasons including incomplete registration, lacking proof of citizenship or attempting to vote at the wrong polling location.
Wil Kenney, a junior from Leawood, said he had to ask for a provisional ballot when poll workers said he was not on the rolls. Kenney said he tried to change his address after the 2012 presidential election, but the Douglas County election website still reflects a dorm address from his freshman year.
"The thing that I thought was interesting about the book was that it only covered the precinct that we were in," he said. "They just had to guess that we were in the wrong precinct."
Provisional ballots will be counted before the official canvas, Nov 13.

Student Senate discusses KU alert system

Wednesday night's Student Senate meeting saw the passage of two resolutions and addressed concern about bus driver treatment and the KU Alert system.
JAMES HOYT/KANSAN
In her officer report, Student Body President Morgan Said discussed concern over the amount of time it took for a KU Alert to be sent out to students after masked individuals came into classrooms in Budig and Wescoe halls.

"I commend the Public Safety Office and the administration for moving quickly and swiftly today to get these individuals off of campus, however, Garrett Farlow, the Student Safety Advisory Board chair and I have spoken extensively about the lag time between these students arriving on campus and the notification that the rest of the student body received," Said said.
She also discussed ongoing complaints that Senate Transportation Coordinator Jenny Erice has received from
Said said she and Farlow will look into what happened and report back to Senate.
bus drivers on the Daisy Hill route. The bus drivers have reported being kicked and spit on by students. Said said she was enraged by the these reports.
Along with several other pieces of legislation, Senate passed two key resolutions. The first was a resolution to have the Student Survey Board poll the student body on whether it prefers a wet or dry campus. The University currently has a dry campus but makes many exceptions to this rule for certain parties and events. The resolution would not force Senate to take a stance on the issue, but would allow for more student opinion to be included in the decision-making process should this issue be brought up with University administration.
"I find that to be completely inappropriate, and I hope if any of you see this, you put an end to it, because we are in college and, quite frankly, if you are kicking and spitting on people to solve your problems, you belong elsewhere," Said said. "That is not something that KU should tolerate."
Senate has been in contact with resident assistants on Daisy Hill and is exploring ways to fix the problem.
The second resolution that passed was brought to the floor by the Senate's government relations director, Will Admussen. It is a resolution to oppose the Kansas Board of Regents amendment KSA 76-742. The amendment, which the regents will have
The University's Senate is one of the multiple Board of Regents schools pushing through similar resolutions. The student body presidents of all of the KBOR schools decided they didn't agree with the amendment and had to create a united front.
"Students strongly believe that referendums are necessary," Admussen said. "When you're talking about student fees and student dollars, the student voice can never be diminished. More input is always better when you're talking about something that every single student pays."
the opportunity to vote on during the November meeting, would allow a University's administration to "consult" student government officials to make a fee change, instead of conducting a referendum of the entire student body.

Don't Forget
The resolution passed unanimously in two committees last week and in full senate, which Admussen said shows how crucial these referendums are to students.

WESTERN AFRICAN REPRESENTATION
For the month of November, or "Movember," men across the country will grow mustaches to raise awareness for men's health. The Movember Foundation was founded in 2003, and helps raise awareness and money for issues like prostate and testicular cancer, sexual health and mental health.
At the University, a Movember movement fronted by Watkins Health Services utilizes research from the Movember Foundation to help students. WHS is distributing information and resources about men's health, and is encouraging students to get check ups as well as grow mustaches. WHS is handing out fake mustaches for those who can't grow their own.
ERANK WEIRICH/KANSAN
John Haugeberg, a graduate student, sports a mustache for Movember. Movember, which happens throughout the month of November, is an event in which men grow mustaches to raise awareness for men's health
"A lot of people have heard of No Shave November and Movember is just mainly focused on the mustache," said Kirby Knipp, a senior from Overland Park and a Peer Health Educator for WHS. "We wanted to get [Movember] started on campus because we think it's a really good health initiative."
campaign for November. There are picture events on campus throughout November where they take pictures of students with mustaches, regardless of whether they are real or fake. These pictures will be featured on the Watkins Health Services website and its Twitter handle @Beak Healthy. They also encourage students to tag themselves in their own mustache picture*
To get the word out, WHS created a social media
November will end with an event in Anschutz Library on Nov. 24 where participants can show off their facial hair from the month. There is also a Men and Masculinities Symposium on Nov. 22 at the Kansas Union.
The Movember movement began in Melbourne, Australia when a couple of friends were having a drink in a bar and discussing fashion trends. They decided to bring back the mustache and found 30 guys to grow mustaches with them, said Doug Prusoff, the college outreach engagement manager for the Movember Foundation.
They discovered how easy it was to start a conversation around their mustaches and decided to use that to start conversations about men's health. They created the Movember Foundation, and
since 2003, have had over 4 million participants, raised $559 million and started campaigns in 21 countries. "[It's] not just getting guys growing mustaches and raising funds but really changing the way that research is being done," Prusoff said. "Hopefully we'll find a time where no man should die from prostate
cancer and no man should die from testicular cancer."
This cause puts a fun face on a serious issue, and mustaches of all shapes, colors and sizes are encouraged. Last month, Knipp grew his flesh colored mustache as a trial run for Movember, which received unfavorable feedback from his friends, Knipp said.
Nevertheless, he is embracing the spirit of Movember.
"Who am I to not grow one and tell people to do it," Knipp said. "I have started to grow one and by the end of the month it will be 'a nice, hopefully, walrus mustache."

Students raise awareness for homeless children
HALLIE WILSON
@HallieW20
At the age of 13, Jennifer Morris found herself homeless.
After her mother left her when she was young, Morris moved in with her grandmother. When her grandmother suddenly passed away when she was 13, Morris was forced out of her home.
For months, Morris lived in the woods in Rosedale. Every day, she would visit a house at the bottom of the hill where she took a shower, washed the only set of clothes she had and was given a sandwich.

Morris is participating in the seventh annual One Homeless Night — an event designed to raise awareness and donations to give homeless children a strong future. The event starts at 8 p.m. this Friday and lasts until 8 a.m. Saturday morning.
"It's a really neat event where the number one goal is to raise awareness for youth homelessness in our area," said Anne Harper, special events manager at Synergy Services, the group hosting the event.
children.
As a part of the event, the participants are asked to stay outside for the evening, giving them the opportunity to step into the shoes of the homeless.
An estimated 2,000 homeless youth sleep on the Kansas City streets on any given night. Morris said.
"Our goal is to reach out to the students that are in this situation now," Morris said. "We want to get them the tools to build their future."
Morris said this starts with a safe environment where they can learn and a place for them to sleep and eat.

Unplug KU helps save 800 kilowatt-hours
ALLISON CRIST
@AllisonCristUDK
Five colleges across the nation came together and managed to save 18,869 kilowatt-hours of energy in a single day. Eighthundred of those kilowatt-hours were conserved here at the University.
The different schools aimed to conserve energy by unplugging electronics not in use and turning off lights that were left on.
The University of Texas at Austin held an event called Longhorn Lights Out, which took place Oct. 24. Colleges such as the University of Toledo, Penn State, Bowling Green State University and the University of Kansas followed and joined the conservation initiative.
Unplug KU was the group directly involved with the event. The group meets every Friday to do exactly what students did for Longhorn Lights Out.
Myette Simpson, a senior from Lawrence, and Emily Cook, a senior from Olathe, are the co-founders of the organization that started this semester.
"We split into groups and go through all of the buildings on campus to do exactly what we did for the collaborative event: turning off lights, projectors and anything else left on. We also unplug electronics and close windows"Simpson said.
Afterward, members fill out surveys about how much they did for each building and relay that information to the people who use the different rooms.
The group also checks the temperature of buildings, and if a room is too hot or too cold, Simpson reports it to Facilities Services on campus, which she

Simpson and Cook encourage students to turn their thermostats lower at night or when they're not home to conserve energy.
"It's so important that people start to realize that doing things like blasting your heat or air, leaving lights turned on and constantly having things plugged in all contribute to something bigger," Cook said. "Unplug KU really tries to hold people accountable for what they do because it will affect the

Simpson said the group will test out these lights in both Watson and Spencer libraries.
Due to the success of Longhorn Lights Out, Kristen Cetin, from the Energy and Water Conservation Program at the University of Texas, said there have already been conference calls planning a similar event for the upcoming semester.
"Colleges could potentially save so much energy just by doing the little things we did at Longhorn Lights Out," Cetin said.
"We are always looking for new ideas to save energy," Simpson said. "It's important to start conserving now, because we may not have today's resources in the future."

Supporters of Rasmieh Odeh stand outside a federal court in Detroit on Tuesday. Odeh's trial began Tuesday.
Arab activist lied to get citizenship, jurors told
DETROIT — A Chicago Arab activist deceived U.S. officials for years, getting citizenship in 2004 without disclosing that she had spent a decade in an Israeli prison for bombings that damaged the British consulate and killed two people at a supermarket, a prosecutor said at the start of the woman's trial Wednesday.
"She should have never been allowed in the United States from the beginning," he said. "It's a simple, straightforward case."
Rasmieh Odeh answered "no" when asked if she had ever been charged, convicted or imprisoned, first when she applied in 1994 to enter the U.S. from Jordan and then in 2004 when she sought citizenship in Detroit.
Odeh, 67 doesn't dispute her "no" answers on the forms. Defense attorney Michael Deutsch suggested she was confused, thinking the questions were about U.S. convictions; not ones in foreign countries.
Odeh, associate director at the Arab American Action Network in Chicago, had many opportunities to come clean but repeatedly lied, prosecutor Mark Jebson told jurors in federal court.
Odeh lived in the Detroit area before moving to Chicago where she's "respected and revered" as an activist who helps new immigrants, he said.
Dozens of supporters traveled from Chicago to watch the trial, either in the courtroom or in a separate courtroom that carried a video feed. Those watching the TV screens nodded their heads and softly clapped when Deutsch asked a question or made a remark they liked.
nine years. That was the most logical interpretation," Deutsch said in his opening remarks.
The case has angered pro-Palestinian activists who accuse the U.S. government of trying to silence critics of Israel.
"She had come in and lived here
Udeh was 22 when she was arrested for a series of bombings in Jerusalem in 1969. She was convicted and sentenced to life in prison but released in 1979 in a prisoner swap between the Israeli government and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
Odeh claims the Israeli military tortured her into confessing. U.S. District Judge Gershwin Drain repeatedly told Deutsch that questioning the legitimacy of a criminal case from decades ago, especially in front of jurors, is irrelevant in the Detroit trial.

who do not dissociate themselves with this fraternity will be seen as guilty parties and they will be dealt with accordingly."
Kappa Sigma president Jack Schwartz, a junior from St. Louis, said he contacted police after he heard about masked men making threats against the fraternity.
Lawrence Police Department officers patrolled the area around the fraternity Wednesday night and will potentially for the next few days. Schwartz said they want to be prepared for the worst and are taking the situation seriously to ensure everyone's safety.
"You can't let these things go lightly, but you also have to keep in mind that this could be anything," Schwartz said. "It could be just, you know, some people trying to gain attention."
Morgan Said, a senior from Kansas City, Mo., and student body president, said Greek Life emailed members during the afternoon of Nov. 5 to say they are not aware a real threat exists but advised them to remain alert and report suspicious activity to PSO and the Lawrence Police Department.
Will Nye, a junior from Dallas and director of public relations for Interfraternity Council, said Wednesday afternoon that they don't know anything more than the public.
Kappa Sigma is under investigation for an alleged sexual assault. The University extended the fraternity's suspension on Oct. 31. The University is also investigating two rapes that occurred in Hashinger Residence Hall after two men, one a KU student, were arrested on Oct. 3.

Feminism isn't a female-only club
By Victoria Calderon
@WriterVictoriaC
Oppression can be found in many shapes and forms. It can be obvious, such as when people commit violent hate crimes against someone due to race, sexuality, gender or other minority status. But it's also all of the little things a person of a majority population does to demean the existence of a person belonging to a minority group. This can range from using slurs, to talking over somebody, to touching someone without his or her permission. Whenever a man purposely takes up a woman's personal space in public, such as on a bus or while sharing a table in class, that's a form of oppression. Whenever someone says "that's so gay," that's a form of oppression. Whenever a cis (someone who identifies with the gender they were born with) refers to a transgender individual as a "woman with a penis," or a "man with a vagina," that's a form of oppression. Are you starting to sense a pattern?
The path to solving
problems of inequality and oppression has started with victims of oppression. Frederick Douglass spoke out against slavery and equal rights for all races. Susan B. Anthony fought for women's suffrage. Ellen DeGeneres has used her fame to promote marriage equality. Now that the targets of oppression have been convinced to fight it, the movement still needs to go a step further: make the oppressors see the point of view of the oppressed.
Recently, Melissa Harris-Perry led a discussion at
the Lied Center about women's bodies and men's sense of entitlement toward them. Men who subscribe to this ultra-masculine perspective are dangerous. They feel like they can touch a woman without consent, decide that abuse is a rational way to vent anger and "slut-shame" victims of sexual assault, often without thinking twice about it.
Feminists have taken the first step by speaking out against the difficulties faced by women and other minorities. Now, it's up to the oppressors to stop oppression in all the aspects of their actions and words, no matter how big or small.
Preaching that men need to eliminate their sense of entitlement to a woman's body is a moat point when speaking to a room full of women. The hearts and perspectives that need to be changed are those who continue to enforce harmful gender roles — not those who are the victims of oppression.

Catholicism, climate change not at odds
By Gabrielle Murnan
@GabrielleKansan
When thinking about the climate change debate, Christianity does not normally come to mind; however, religious doctrines and interpretations are key influences to an individual's (and a society's) response to climate change.
Some Christian leaders, political and clerical, have dismissed climate change, arguing that the earth was created by God for the purpose of man, exemplified by Genesis 1:28 which states, "God blessed them; and God said to them, be fruitful and
multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth"
Christian political leaders are known to make off-color remarks against climate change. Senator James Inhofe, a Republican from Oklahoma, said, "God's still up there. The arrogance of people to think that we, human beings, would be able to change what he is doing in the climate is to me outrageous."
In my opinion, what is really outrageous is denying the power Christianity has in
making significant,positive influence on the climate change debate.
In the last few years, one Catholic leader has stood out in reshaping Christianity's take on the climate. Pope Francis has delivered several discourses on our duty to protect the environment since becoming pontiff. Many right-wingers, such as Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck, have labeled the pope not as an advocate, but as a Marxist. They have criticized Francis' beliefs on capitalism, assisting the poor, and now the environment.
In the last few years, Pope Francis has given many
powerful speeches explaining why it is our duty to protect and preserve the environment through stewardship. He has even gone so far as to say climate change is anthropocentric, a commonly held belief, but not one commonly vocalized by church leaders. Although his discourse has garnered substantial criticism from the right, it has gained equal support by many Catholics and other Christians.
Pope Francis is not the first or only church leader to spread the importance of preserving the earth that God has given us (regardless of who or what God that
may be). However, the words of a Catholic leader have never been this important, simply due to the tight timeline we have to address climate change. Each speech Francis gives pushes more people to accept and fight climate change. It is time for other church leaders and religious politicians to open their minds to Francis' interpretation of the gospel, before it is too late for the climate.

"My favorite part is [seeing] how many students take ownership over their community to make this event happen," Lewis said.
This Friday at 5:30 p.m. KU Hillel will host its biggest event of the year: the annual Rock Chalk Shabbat event in the Kansas Union.
"It's pretty awesome."
Jay Lewis, a 1993 KU alumni from Overland Park and the executive director for KU Hillel, said Rock Chalk Shabbat is a huge celebration of KU Hillel and Jewish life at the University that brings together more than 500 students, parents and alumni.
Stacy Bernstein, a junior from St. Louis and the development assistant for Rock Chalk Shabbat, said the event starts with appetizers served by the men of Alpha Epsilon Pi. Afterwards, there is a service done by Rabbi Neal Schuster, which is followed by dinner in the ballroom with various speakers and a slideshow. Bernstein said anyone is welcome, and Big Jay is due to make an appearance during the night as well.

From left, Hank Wiedel, Patrick McQuaid and Jackson Reis make up local band Captiva. The band is playing at Jackpot Music Hall on Nov. 9.
Local band Captiva has a few words for its audience: Stay buzzed. This motto comes from the band's song "Buzz Like Bees", in which they encourage listeners to live in the present and not be worried about the past or the future, said Patrick McQuaid, a member of Captiva.
Captiva is made up of KU freshmen McQuaid and Jackson Reis, along with Hank Wiedel, a student at Johnson County Community College, all from Kansas City, Mo. McQuaid and Reis met a year and a half ago when they started hanging out and creating music together. They wrote their own songs and performed them at local church and high school events. Later, they met Wiedel in detention, who was serving time for being late to class, and the three became a band.

Captiva released its debut album "Basement Creations" three months ago on Band-Camp and Soundcloud. They are an independent band; however they are in conjunction with WKC Music, an independent label based out of Kansas City that helped get the band where they are today.
Captiva describes its style of music as "funky-folk-meets-indie-rap." The band's lyrics are inspired by past relationships and other life experiences. Their musical inspirations include Twenty-One Pilots, because of
The members said that living in Lawrence has helped them a lot due to the town's welcoming music scene. Weidel said Lawrence is reliable with solid shows and brings in good acts.
"You can expect a lot of energy from our shows and to go away feeling buzzed." McQuaid said. "We put a lot of effort into each of our performances"
Captiva will be playing at Jackpot Music Hall on Sunday, Nov. 9. On Nov. 12 at Abe and Jake's Landing the band will perform at a Kappa Kappa Gamma benefit show that supports a former sorority sister who suffered a brain injury.

"We are definitely trying to venture out and to become recognized on a more regional and national level," Wiedel said.
There is definitely tension sometimes, but we all care so much about the band. It makes us very thankful for each other and for having such great musicians and friends to play with."
Captiva will also be playing a show in Flint, Mich., next month at The Machine Shop.

Slavic Folk Dance Workshop to be held at Burge Union Friday

The Slavic Folk Dance Workshop will take place Nov. 7 in the Gridiron Room of the Burge Union.

The Slavic Folk Dance Workshop, held by the Department of Slavic Languages & Literatures along with the Slavic graduate student group, creates an opportunity for students to experience new cultures. Kansas City world folk dancers have been coming once a year for three years to teach students different folk dances from Slavic countries including Russian, Serbian, Ukrainian and Polish dances.
The Slavic Folk Dance Workshop is taking place in the Gridiron Room in the Burge Union from 4-5:30 p.m. on Friday. Admission is free of charge and open to KU students and to the Lawrence community. Students can email Luttrell.Megan@gmail.com to sign up and attend the event.
Megan Luttrell, a graduate student from Marion, Mass. studying Slavic Languages and Literature, was inspired by her undergraduate experience at the University of Vermont to start this workshop at Kansas. After coming to the University, Luttrell thought that starting the Slavic dance workshop would be a great way to involve students in real cultural events.
Luttrell said these cultural events hosted by the KU Slavic graduate student group have also brought the Slavic department together.
"There (at UVM), I took a folk dancing class because we had to have a gym credit in college," she said. "I thought it was really fun and we learned a couple Slavic dances."
"When I came here the department was great, but doing these things just really makes the department so much more tight-knit and just makes it so much more of a fun place to be," Luttrell said.
Many students enjoyed learning Slavic folk dances from passionate dancers from the Kansas City area.
"I have so much fun, every time," Luttrell said. "These people are so into it. They are so energetic and so wonderful and they love doing it. It just makes me so happy. It is something that I look forward to every year."
Alex Fisher, a graduate student from Pittsburgh, Pa. said she remembers her experience from the dance workshop last year.
"People were just really fun and welcoming," she said. "Everyone was really open and cheerful and trying to get people into it."
Fisher said how learning Slavic folk dance is simple for anyone who does not have any prior dance experience.
"I was tripping all over the place the first time of the faster *moves*," Fisher said. "No one's going to make fun of you or make you feel not welcome."
Matt Menzenski, a graduate student from Ithaca, N.Y., is planning on attending this year's dance workshop after hearing a lot of good things from people who went last year.
"It's always interesting to kind of get out of my bubble a little bit," he said. "I spend
a lot of time thinking about just the language of this part of the world and sometimes it's good to be reminded that there is a whole another part of that culture and that experience."
Luttrell said the workshop brings different departments from University of Kansas together and that students from the dance department attended last year's dance workshop.
"We are trying to get people outside of the Slavic department interested in things Slavic," Luttrell said. "Not just the language, not just the literature, but the art, the culture, the dance, the music, and everything else."

especially when attendees come from areas outside of Lawrence, such as Overland Park. She said the hardest part of helping to organize Rock Chalk Shabbat is reaching out to people she didn't know for the event. She said it was difficult to communicate and get timely responses.
"We've built one of the most successful student organizations, and one of the best Hillels in the country."
JAY LEWIS Alumni
Each year, KU Hillel works to improve and enhance Rock Chalk Shabbat, and Lewis said this year there will be a new caterer in hopes of improving the food. Lewis said there is a second new aspect to the event as well.
"One really new thing we're doing is encouraging alumni from around the country to host their own Rock Chalk Shabbat around the country," Lewis said. "We have over a dozen that are going to host their own and tweet out pictures to us."
He said one problem they are starting to face with the event is outgrowing the ballroom at the Union.
"I speak for a few minutes, otherwise I simply enjoy [the event] and watching over 150 students that volunteer to make this event a success," Lewis said.
"It's a good problem, just the sheer number of people who are involved, and the weeks and months to come together for this," Lewis said. "It's all worth it." As executive director, Lewis said he has a wonderful team of students and staff who help make the event happen.
Lewis said prior to working as executive director, he was only minimally involved in Hillel as a student. The position came about 13 years ago when KU Hillel, relatively small at the time, approached him with the job offer.
"I was encouraged to look at it not as what it was, but what it had the potential to be." Lewis said. "Now we've built one of the most successful student organizations, and one of the best Hillels in the country."
"I love seeing the students show off KU Hillel," Lewis said. "We're very proud to show it to the alumni and the parents."
Lewis said as much as he loves seeing students come to Rock Chalk Shabbat, it is a great opportunity to get to know parents and alumni who attend as well.

KU recruits at more high schools across country
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
CASSIDY RITTER
@CassidyRitter
University of Kansas admissions representatives typically visit about 750 high schools a year, but you can expect that number to increase in the near future. As the new assistant director and admissions representative for the University, Calvin McConnell expects to visit an additional 30 high schools, all in the hopes of increasing the University's outreach to out-of-state students.
The University fell five spots in U.S. News' 2014 National University Rankings, from 101 in 2014 to 106 in 2015. Partially responsible for this decline was the University's drop in "high school counselor rank," which fell from 69 in 2014 to 91 in 2015. U.S. News asked guidance counselors from public high schools mentioned in the "Best High Schools" list to rate which national universities offered the best undergraduate
education. The universities were rated on a scale of one to five, with five being the top score. The University's ranking for 2015 was 3.8.
"The University of Kansas values the work of high school counselors," said Lisa Pinamonti Kress, the director of admissions at the University. "KU hosts a variety of events to inform counselors about updates taking place at KU. KU hosts more than 25 events serving more than 200 counselors throughout Kansas and select out-of-state areas."
In addition to the creation of McConnell's position, the University has also started holding lunches with out-of-state students, as well as sending out-of-state students newsletters and email updates said Elisa Krapcha, the University's Colorado regional representative and the supervisor of the Universities regional representatives. These moves aim to improve the Universities relationship with both out-of-state students and counselors
alike.
"We do quite a bit of outreach, both to high school counselors in Kansas and also into markets around the country where we have a large number of students coming from," said Jack Martin, director of strategic communications at KU. "U.S.News sends its surveys to almost 1,300 high school counselors and so while we are doing outreach to counselors, we are not doing outreach to all counselors in the United States. We focus more of our time and our resources on the counselors who interact with the most potential KU students."
The University has nine standard admissions representatives in Kansas, as well as two transfer admissions representatives, one international admissions representative and eight regional representatives. There are two regional representatives apiece in Colorado and Chicago, as well as one representative in Dallas, St. Louis, Southern California, District of

Out-of-state student enrollment up in last five years
HANNAH PIERANGELO
@hannahpier
The percent of out-of-state students at the University increased this year while the percent of students from Kansas decreased. Kansas residents make up less than 70 percent of the total, according to the Office of Institutional Research and Planning.
Of the undergraduates on the Lawrence and Edwards campuses at the beginning of the semester, 5,809 or about 36 percent were from other states. That represents a five percentage point increase since 2009.
Students from Kansas made up 13,042 of the total undergraduate population, compared to 15,279 in 2009, according to OIRP.
Matt Melvin, vice provost in enrollment management, said the decline in Kansas residents could be due to a combination of a smaller pool of graduates and efforts to save money.
"The increasing competition for a dwindling number of Kansas high school graduates coupled with a challenging state economy has made the
community college, as well as other regional colleges, a viable option as a cost-savings strategy," Melvin said.
Most out-of-state students attending the University are from Missouri or Illinois, according to OIRP. Those states, along with Kansas and six others, are part of the Midwest Student Exchange program, which allows students who qualify to join the program and pay in-state tuition at state schools. The other states in the program include Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota and Wisconsin.
Melvin said the Midwest Student Exchange program along with KU's reputation makes the school appealing to out-of-state recruits. He said other out-of-state students are willing to pay KU's non-resident rates because the tuition is comparable or cheaper than what they'd pay to attend certain schools in their home state.
"It makes it easier to convince students and families that are looking for an out-of-state experience to place KU in their choice set," Melyvin said.
success recruiting students from outside the Midwest, particularly from Texas and California. Those states are just behind Missouri and Illinois as the most popular home states for students, according to OIRP.
The University has had some
"Word-of-mouth is the most powerful and productive marketing and recruitment tool," Melvin said. "We have already begun tapping into many current KU students from these new markets who are telling their story as ambassadors, telecounselors or who accompany admissions staff members on road trips back to their communities. The student experience resonates much more than us telling them facts and figures about KU."
Rachel Wotawa, a senior from St. Louis, said she decided to come to the University for two main reasons: her choice of major and the low tuition rate.
"I focused more on the architecture program and I liked how KU's was a five-year master's program, so I'd be getting out with a higher degree faster." Wotawa said. "Also cost—it's really helpful
that students from Missouri that major in architecture get in-state tuition at Kansas"
As an architecture major, Wotawa is part of the Kansas-Missouri Reciprocal Tuition agreement. Kansas students going to school for dentistry or optometry in Missouri can also receive in-state tuition there. Wotawa said
that paying in-state tuition made KU her cheapest college choice. She had also considered architecture schools at Tulane University and the University of Minnesota.
More international students are also enrolled at the University this year. According to International
Student Services, 2,283 international students are currently enrolled on the Lawrence and Edwards campuses. This number increased by nearly 150 students in the last four years.The most international students are from are China India and Saudi Arabia.

Students can add learning certificates to transcripts
HALEY REGAN
@haleygracen
The Research Experience Program, one of six certifications in experiential learning, is currently foreseeing changes to its requirements. John Augusto, assistant vice provost for experiential learning, said requirements will be expanding to encompass more options when applying for the certificate.
Experiential learning certifications were designed to help students by providing them with an official certificate on their transcript to notate their extracurricular involvement in their collegiate career.
Certifications began at the University in 2004, starting with the Global Awareness Program, which is one of the six certifications for experiential learning. The other certificates are Arts Engagement, Leadership Studies, Entrepreneurship Service Learning and the Research Experience Program.
In order to obtain one of these certificates, students must complete the requirements that vary depending on the type of certification.
"The requirements for REP are changing this year
to become more flexible for students and fully aligned with learning outcomes developed with our faculty advisory board - over the course of the last year", Augusto said. "Students should expect to see more flexible options when applying for REP"
According to the Certifications in Experimental Learning website, the benefits of earning a certification include: gaining experience, exploring options for potential majors and careers, networking, and official recognition for out-of-class activities.
Coordinator of the Global Awareness Program Cody Case said he believes the GAP certificate is beneficial because it encourages students to get involved and experience more diversity.
"The most beneficial aspect of GAP entails learning and engaging with people from diverse cultural backgrounds, which naturally enriches one's life, academic pursuits, and career goals." Case said. "The GAP certificate is official KU recognition for your international experience and cultural awareness in pursuing future job, fellowship and graduate school opportunities."
There are three components to the GAP certificate:
academic courses, co-curricular activities, and/or international experience. In order to earn the certification, one must complete two out of the three components. Each component has more detailed requirements that relate to global awareness, which can be found on the program's website, gap.ku.edu.
The six certificates have separate programs, where each of the program directors communicate among one another to improve the certification program as a whole.
While the requirements for each program vary, all of them include academic courses that relate to the category, experience outside of the classroom, and a reflection on their involvement. All of the requirements ensure that students get a well-rounded experience.
The application for the notation varies depending on the type, but all of the certifications can be applied for online.
If students are interested in experiential learning, the directors of the certification programs encourage them to visit certification.ku.edu to explore possibilities.

Judge overturns Missouri ban on gay marriage
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — A state judge overturned Missouri's constitutional ban on gay marriage Wednesday in a ruling that immediately set off a rush among some same-sex couples to apply for marriage licenses.
St. Louis Circuit Judge Rex Burlison said in a written ruling that Missouri's measure recognizing marriage only between a man and woman violates the due process and equal protection rights of the U.S. Constitution. The decision mirrored ones handed down recently in several other states.
his office wouldn't seek a stay of the order, noting that the U.S. Supreme Court refused to grant stays after same-sex marriage decisions in Idaho and Alaska.
Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster immediately appealed the ruling to the state Supreme Court, saying the constitutional challenge "must be presented to and resolved" at that level. But he said that
Koster previously chose not to appeal a ruling requiring Missouri to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states.
After hearing about Wednesday's ruling, Kelley Harris, 35, and Kelly Barnard, 36, drove to St. Louis City Hall to apply for a marriage license. They called a photographer to record the event and planned to invite friends to attend an impromptu ceremony at a local park. The couple had held an unofficial wedding ceremony in 2003.

"We've already been living as a married couple — we have children, we have family — so it would be nice to have the legal backing," said Harris, accompanied by her mother and the couple's suit-clad 4-year-old son and 6-year-old daughter.
St. Louis City Counselor Winston Calvert countered in court that the existing law treats same-sex couples as "second-class citizens." He said an increasing number of states are allowing gay couples to wed, including most of the states surrounding Missouri.

The city issued four marriage licenses to same-sex couples in June and then quit doing so, intentionally setting up a legal challenge to the state's 2004 constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. Assistant Attorney General Jeremiah Morgan argued during a September court hearing that 71 percent of Missourians had voted for the referendum and said that the U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly allowed states to define marriage.
"Obviously this is a long time coming for so many gay and lesbian couples in the state of Missouri and the city of St. Louis in particular," Calvert said Wednesday as he and Mayor Francis Slay joined the four couples at the marriage license office.
By 5 p.m., the city had issued marriage licenses to four lesbian couples, including Harris and Barnard. April Breeden and Crystal Peairs, both 38, held a brief ceremony on the marble steps of the City Hall rotunda after obtaining their license.
"Time is of the essence," Pears said. "We wanted to make sure we got it taken care of today."
Terry Garrett-Yampolsky, an archivist in the St. Louis recorder of deeds office, was part of the initial group of same-sex couples to receive licenses a little more than three months ago. He watched the couples enter the city office Wednesday with a mixture of pride and exhilaration.
Halloween jail bookings double since last year
DEREK SKILLETT
@Derek_Skillett
Halloween is thought of as a time when people can go out on the town and celebrate the holiday with friends or family. Unfortunately, that also means arrests can happen.
According to the Douglas County Sheriff's Office booking recap log, this year during the hours of 11 p.m. Halloween night to 3 a.m. Nov. 1, there were 11 bookings, almost doubling the amount of bookings on Halloween last year when there were five at the same time.
The nature of the bookings this year included crimin $ ^{a1} $

damage to property, possession of drug-related materials and several instances of driving under the influence of alcohol.
According to the log, eight of the 11 bookings this year on Halloween night were related to driving under the influence of alcohol. On Halloween night in 2013, none of the bookings during this time frame were related to driving under the influence.
Kim Murphree, the technical services director of the Lawrence Police Department, said she partly attributed this year's increased booking figures to the first DUI check lane on Halloween, which was set up on the 1100 block of Tennessee Street during the time of the bookings. The location of the DUI check lane was revealed in a press release from the LPD.
Murphree also said after perpetrators are taken into custody, they are taken into booking at the Douglas County Sheriff's Office.

COMMENTARY
Mangino leaving sent shockwaves through Kansas football program
By Connor Oberkrom
@coberkrom
It doesn't seem all that long ago when college football Saturdays in Lawrence meant something.
Mark Mangino, currently the Iowa State offensive coordinator, returns to Lawrence for the first time since he resigned from Kansas, which subsequently sent the program plummeting into futility.
A coach leaving doesn't always always negatively affect a program, but it completely ruptured the state of the Kansas football program.
Kansas' record is 11-45 since Mangino left and has been in the Big 12 cellar the last four seasons.
The bar is obviously low for Kansas fans to be satisfied with their football team, but Mangino took it to a different level. With Mangino leading, Kansas won its first BCS Bowl and started to develop legitimate NFL talent, such as Aqib Talib and Chris Harris Jr. What matters is that it doesn't take a whole lot to win at Kansas. Mangino proved that without having stellar recruiting classes. He never had a five-star recruit or a quarterback who was highly regarded coming out of high school.
While the respect of a coach, leadership skills and recruiting prowess plays a role, what outweighs everything is what the coach does with the talent that's on board.
The regimes of Turner Gill and Charlie Weis reinforced that and it's tough to point to a player you can credit either coach for solely developing. Sure, there is Tony Pierson, Ben Heeney and James Sims, but you had a feeling that those players would excel regardless of who they played under.
Mangino had players who would have struggled to find playing time for other teams, but those players succeeded at Kansas. A prime example was former running back, Jon Cornish, who played sparingly in his first two years and then burst onto the scene in his senior year rushing in 1,457 yards, making him the all-time single season rusher at Kansas.
Mangino wasn't the best in-game coach and obviously had some ill-advised motivation tactics, but he successfully developed players that were mostly disregarded.
Saying that firing Mangino directly caused Kansas to fall from a cliff would be shortsighted. Hiring bad coaches severely outweighs firing a decent one, and Kansas butchered it twice.
Mangino's legacy probably wouldn't hold much weight if Kansas football was in a positive light.
However, as he patrols the sidelines on Saturday, for Kansas fans it's refreshing to realize that better days are still feasible if it can hit another hire like him.

@SCHasenKU
The women's basketball team had somewhat of a disappointing 2013-14 season, failing to reach the NCAA Tournament or the NIT Tournament for the first time since the 2006-07 season. However, for several players four to be exact this season carries the added pressure of being their final season. One of those seniors, Natalie Knight, noted that the mentality of this senior-led team is quite different than teams of the past.
SEE PAGES 2B AND 4B FOR WOMEN'S BASKETBALL PREVIEW
"I have noticed a difference this year, so far," Knight said. "Everyone is willing to work hard and put in the extra effort, which is what we need to be successful."
Prior to last season, women's basketball had reached the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament two seasons in a
row, and Kansas was the only school to have its men's and women's basketball teams in the Sweet 16 in each of those two seasons.
However, this year's team looks like one that would thrive in a tournament setting, as the four seniors provide a more mature outlook.
"When you're young you want to contribute; you want to play; you want to start," coach Bonnie Henrickson. "By the time you're a senior, it's just 'let me win, whatever it takes,' and [the seniors] are there now."
Last season, the Jayhawks got off to a solid start, winning four of their first five games, but the season seemed to stall, losing the following three contests and going on to lose 19 games total. Despite the record, the season wasn't a total loss.
One of the high points for the team was the home matchup against No. 7 Baylor, as the Jayhawks shocked the Bears, winning by 16. Kansas was led by Chelsea Gardner, who poured on 28 points while accounting for 13 rebounds and three blocks.
But Gardner said that the most important thing to come out of that victory occurred in the following matchups,
when the Jayhawks showed increased resiliency.
"I thought it was something that gave us energy," Gardner said. "It made us want to fight more."
The very next game, the Jayhawks lost to the No. 8 Oklahoma State Cowgirls, but only by eight points. Kansas went on to win two of its next three games, before losing again to Oklahoma State by just two.
"If you look at last year and the number of one possession games we were in, there were certainly offensive and defensive issues, but from a toughness standpoint [was where we lost]." Henrickson said. "We've made some progress, and the maturity of the senior class has been a big part [of that]."
Last season, the Jayhawks proved they had the ability to hang around with just about anyone, as 12 of their 19 losses came by 10 or fewer points. This season, the urgency of the situation will change, as the seniors fight to get back to the NCAA Tournament in their final year. After all, the four seniors cited making the NCAA Tournament as not only a goal, but as an expectation.

Kansas dropped in Big 12 quarterfinals

With arguably the best season in school history on hand, a deep run into the Big 12 Soccer Championship seemed feasible. But after conceding the first goal, the javhawks' chances slimmed.
Despite forcing a 1-1 tie before halftime and putting up more shots than Oklahoma, coach Mark Francis' team was unable to eclipse the one-
goal deficit, and fell out of the tournament with a 2-1 loss to the Oklahoma Sooners at Swope Soccer Village in Kansas City, Mo.
"We had a couple of really good chances that we didn't put away, and they scored the couple of the ones that they had," Francis said. "That was the difference in the game."
The contest was a stalemate until the 35th minute, when Oklahoma midfielder Emily Bowman struck gold. The
Sooners got the throw-in into the box, sophomore Abby Hodgen controlled it and took a shot which was deflected into the left foot of Bowman. Interim Kansas goalkeeper Maddie Dobyns didn't have a chance.
Since 2012, Kansas has never overcome an 1-0 deficit to win, going 0-22-1 in those games. But the Jayhawks quickly vied for their first winning result in such games just seven minutes later. Ju-

norior midfielder Liana Salazar earned a free-kick from just over 20 yards out, put it over a wall of OU players, and curved it past the goalkeeper to even the score. It was Salazar's team-high 12th goal of the season.
Kansas came out with the advantage after the half, getting a shot on goal and multiple crosses into the box in the first ten minutes. Then Oklahoma was awarded a corner kick, another shot was deflected, and Sooner freshman defender Madeline Brem found the back of the net for what would be the game-winning goal. It was Kansas' second goal allowed off of a set play.
"We just didn't get to the second ball on the set piece," Francis said. "We really haven't struggled with those. We haven't given up very many goals off the set pieces at all. That's why it's particularly disappointing."
Kansas spent the majority of the remaining time in the attacking third. In the second half, the Jayhawks got up 11 shots, but only put one of those on target. The Sooners did the same — only putting one shot on goal in the second half — but they converted.
The layhawks had their best second-half chance in the 81st minute. The Oklahoma goalkeeper was drawn out of the box to chase a loose ball, which ended up at the feet of Liana Salazar from about 25 yards with only defenders between the world-class goal scorer and the goal. She curved it around a defender,
“(Salazar) is probably the one you want in that situation,” Francis said. “But even goal scorers don't always score goals.”
looking for the upper left corner. Kansas' chance to equalize at 2-2 few wide.
The team's efforts to avenge last week's 1-0 loss against Oklahoma weren't successful, as the No. 6 seeded Sooners pulled the upset. The Jayhawks came into the tournament with no momentum, losing three of their final four contests. Despite the rough end of season, Francis says the team couldn't be in better late season form.
"We've been playing really, really well," Francis said. "We just haven't gotten results... This is the best soccer we've played this season. We just have to regroup."
Francis team will be regrouping for next weekend's NCAA tournament, and a chance for the Jayhawks to commend what has been a remarkable season. With a top 20 Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) coming into Wednesday's match, the crimson and blue are expected to be given a spot into the field of 64.
"Hopefully we'll be in the tournament next weekend, I think we will." Francis said. "It's a brand new season, and you want to make it to the Big Dance. I feel with everything we've done this season, we should be there."

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Women's basketball team adds trio of new point guards
SCOTT CHASEN
@SChasenKU
The Kansas women's basketball team will be booking to get back to the NCAA tournament this season, and the Jayhawks will have the added boost of talented newcomers on the team. They managed to nab three talented point guards, including freshman Terriell Bradley, who ranked as the No. 56 recruit according to ESPN. Bradley is joined by 3-star recruit Lauren Aldridge and junior college transfer Timeka O'Neal, both of whom are very capable shooters and above average ball handlers.
"The good thing about [the point guards] is that they can really shoot the ball, so you can play two of the three together," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "They understand the pace and intensity of the game and they are committed to competing."
The addition of these skilled players should allow the layawhacks some versatility in the ability to play small, using two or three point guards on the court at the same time.
This will be Henrickson's first year without a returning point guard, but other players on the roster have already stepped up and taken on leadership roles. Senior guard Natalie Knight has worked to mentor the younger guards, and she credits a former Jayhawk with teaching her how to work with the freshmen.
"I learned a lot from Angel [Goodrich], and I think that was really good preparation for us as far as [leading as] seniors," Knight said. "I've tried to help them with any questions that they've had in practice, or even outside of practice."
In the first exhibition game, the new point guards played solid by combining for 23 points and shooting 50 percent from 3-point range. However, after the game, coach Henrickson said the most impressive thing about the point guard play wasn't reflected in the stat sheet, but rather that the point guards had no problem calling their own plays, rather than looking to her to do it for them.
"[The point guards] have done a much better job of knowing what we should run on a miss and what we run on a make," Henrickson said after the first exhibition game. "They didn't try to do too much either."
While there is some uncertainty that comes with relying on newcomers, the Jayhawks will have a few games to get acclimated before their first real test. Unlike the men's team, which faces off against top-ranked Kentucky in the second game of the season, the women's basketball team won't see a ranked opponent until the seventh regular season game against Notre Dame, which should provide them ample opportunity to work out all the kinks.

Henrickson counts on veterans for leadership
KIRSTEN PETERSON
@KeepUpWithKP
Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson arrived in Lawrence 11 years ago and completely transformed the Jayhawks, who were in their fourth consecutive losing season at the time. Since then, Henrickson has advanced the Jayhawks to seven postseasons and led the team to consecutive NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 rounds in 2012 and 2013.
"The goal for us is to go to the NCAA tournament," Henrickson said. "We're working hard every day to make that happen and there's a lot that goes into that."
Last season, Kansas lost five out of six one-possession games. Having the aggressiveness to get one more 50-50 ball could have had significant impact on its overall record. Henrickson
commented on how there were certainly a lot of offensive and defensive issues last season. She sees a change in her team for the upcoming season.
"We're not where we need to be... But we're certainly working every day to try to get there."
BONNIE HENRICKSON Kansas coach
"I think from a toughness standpoint we've made some progress," she said. "I think our young kids have been really well coached before they got here, so their transition to help us early has been exciting."
With four freshmen and one junior college transfer, the jayhawks have a variety of fresh faces. The upperclassmen have the chance to act as mentors for these young players.
things."
There may be a point when some of the new Jayhawks experience a high-intensity situation they have never been in before, and the upperclassmen can help out their younger teammates with their own past experiences.
"Sometimes they're going to have to talk through some things on the fly and if we don't have a timeout or we don't want to use a time out, that'll be important," she said. "That's when you speak to chemistry, the trust they have for each other and the relationship they've worked hard to build."
Henrickson relies on the chemistry between her players in order for them to succeed this season. She wants the competitive edge to stay consistent and to have her team focus on being better than they were last year. She says her team will get better if they commit to competing and getting more comfortable on the court.
"We're not where we need to be," she said. "We're not where we were, but we're not where we need to be yet. But we're certainly working every day to try to get there."
"Sometimes they underestimate the impact they have on young people," Henrickson said about the seniors. "Sometimes when you get to be seniors you lose sight of how important that is for freshmen. It matters when I say things, but it really matters when seniors you respect say

1. Kansas will make the NCAA tournament
WOMEN'S BASKETBALL:
5 SEASON PREDICTIONS
Following a disappointing 2013-2014 campaign, the Jayhawks will be looking to reach the NCAA Tournament for the third time in the last four years. With four returning starters and two years of NCAA Tournament experience, Kansas has a foundation to build upon. The team seem to have made great bonds both on and off the court to have the chemistry they need to make it to the Big Dance
2. Chelsea Gardner will log more double doubles this
more double-doubles this season than she did the last Last season, Gardner had 12 double-doubles. With Gardner off to a fast start after beginning the season with 23 points and 10 boards, she can surpass that total easily. Gardner will again be a key asset this season and someone to be feared by toes.
3. Kansas will finish above .500 in Big 12 play
Last year the Jayhaws went 5-13 in the Big 12, but 10 of the 13 losses were by 10 or fewer points, and four of the losses were by three or fewer points. With the addition of a few talented freshmen, as well as the growth of players like Chelsea Gardner, the Jayhawks should be able to win at least half of their games in the conference.
4. Lauren Aldridge will exhibit poise well beyond that of a turfical freshman player
typical nonslam player
Aldridge started in the
layhawks' exhibition opener,
playing alongside four seniors:
Chelsea Gardner, Natalie Knight,
Asia Boyd and Bunny Williams.
Aldridge seemed to fit right in,
and had no problem running
the offense. Her initiative in
calling plays led to coach Bonnie
Henrickson praising Aldridge in
the post-game press conference.
While she may not blow you away
with her numbers, Aldridge has
the potential to be a key player
this season.
5. For the second straight year, Kansas will upset a top-10 team
Last year, the Jayhawks defeated the No. 7 Baylor Bears in Allen Fieldhouse, despite 31 points and 12 rebounds from Baylor's Odyssey Sims. This year, the Jayhawks will have a few opportunities to make their mark, with five games against current top-10 teams prior to the Big 12 tournament.

Off-field issues haven't hurt business for the NFL
THE MORNING BREW
Whenever the National Football League makes national news, it's never for anything good — save for the Super Bowl. If anything football-related is on CNN, it's probably about something an NFL player did to "scar" the NFL's image.
Like clockwork, daytime news anchors and out-of-place economists start making statements that are far out of their comfort zones, often to the conclusion that the NFL is dying. The talking heads on the television love to doom the NFL.
If concussions arise in a contact sport? "The NFL is too dangerous." The NFL expands its Thursday Night Football slate? "The NFL is oversaturing its schedule." A string of players — many of whom are insignificant to the league — are arrested on DUI or drug charge? "Parents shouldn't let their children watch these players."

is a massive business producing an extraordinarily popular product every week.
The Super Bowl is a good starting point. In terms of total audience, this worldwide spectacle accounts for the 21 most-watched American television broadcasts of all time, and it has drawn
of-their-depth journalists deemed the NFL set to collapse, predicting the downfall of the league that dominates both the television and sports scenes.
But if they think the NFL is coming to an end, they're going to be wrong for a very,very long time.To understand why,I think it's important to view the entire scope of the NFL in America.
Every single team in the NFL is enormously profitable. According to Forbes, 30 of the 50 richest sports teams in America are in the NFL. The NFL brought in $9 billion in profit during the 2013 season, which tops the total gross domestic product of 55 countries, according to a 2012 list from the United Nations. The NFL
over 160 million viewers for three consecutive years. No other broadcast has ever topped 85 million.
THE BREW
In 2013, almost every viewership statistic increased from 2012. FOX's viewership increased from 2012's 19.7 million viewers to 21.2 million in 2013, a 7 percent increase. Six of the 10 largest cable audiences in 2013 came from ESPN's Monday Night Football. NBC's Sunday Night Football was television's No.1 primetime show for the fourth consecutive fall season, and won the women's 18-49 demographic for the first time in NFL primetime history.
In 2014, TV ratings haven't
dropped a bit. Sunday night's Ravens-Steelers game drew a 6.7 Nielsen Rating, topping network viewership, while Game 7 of the World Series tallied a 6.6. In the week before, the Saints-Packers Sunday night showdown tallied a 7.1 rating - more th
double any other World Series game, save Game 7.
People are still watching the NFL because — despite some flaws — the product on the field is superior to that of any competitor. With view-ership continuing to increase, the NFL may not have even be nearing its peak yet. Despite what the talking heads, your mom's friend, or Mark Cuban says, the NFL is not dying, and it's certainly not going anywhere soon.

Timeka O'Neal brings junior college triumphs
KIRSTEN PETERSON
@KeepUpWithKP
After coming off a 30-2 season, a conference title and a No.2 ranking in the final NJCAA D-II poll with the Cavaliers, junior college transfer Timeka O'Neal is ready to lead the Jayhawks, just like she did at Johnson County Community College.
"It's a really huge transition coming from Johnson County to Kansas," O'Neal said. "The tradition here is just overwhelming; it's crazy. It's a really good transition though."
In last Sunday's exhibition game against Fort Hays State, O'Neal came in at the 13-minute mark and immediately got the ball and drained a 3-pointer, igniting a big roar from the Kansas crowd.
She didn't stop there. With only a minute and a half left in the first half, O'Neal instantly got the ball again and sunk another three to win over Jayhawk fans. O'Neal also impressed coach Henrickson with her performance.
"Both Timeka and Lauren
(Aldridge) called plays more than I thought. I've had young point guards who looked more (to me). They went," Henrickson said.
Under Henrickson, O'Neal faces a lot of high expectations after being a star at Johnson County. Just because O'Neal is a new face on the Jayhawk roster doesn't mean that Henrickson will treat her any differently than her teammates who have been a Jayhawk for years.
"My favorite part about being a Jayhawk is just honestly having the opportunity. I mean, I never thought I would be a Jayhawk."
TIMEKA O'NEAL
Point guard
"She doesn't let up on me," O'Neal said of Henrickson. "She doesn't treat me any differently than any other player. She's on me on the things I do wrong to make sure I get it right. I try to
limit those mistakes and try to do my best every practice."
Henrickson isn't known for going easy on her players in practice, and O'Neal knew that when she committed to Kansas. "(There's) a lot more running," O'Neal said. "They're more into you. Not saying that Johnson County wasn't, but KU's just a lot more technical and you have to be on your game every day."
O'Neal looked in high spirits before she went into practice Wednesday afternoon. When asked what her favorite part about being a Jayhawk was, a huge smile came across her face.
"What's not to like about being a Jayhawk?" O'Neal said. "My favorite part about being a Jayhawk is just honestly having the opportunity. I mean, I never thought I would be a Jayhawk. Just saying I'm a Jayhawk is the best thing about being a Jayhawk.
"I'm going to try my hardest to bring that along to KU and contribute as much as I can for this team," O'Neal said.

4 games to watch
Two nonconference and two conference women's basketball games to mark on your calendar
Kansas vs. No. 3 Notre Dame (November 30)
Coming into this game, the Jayhawks should be sitting at 5-1 or 6-0 on the year, meaning that confidence should be at an all-time high. Additionally, while Kansas is 500 miles further from the "neutral location" where this game will be played, neither team is close enough to call it a home game, which should also help the Jayhawks. If Kansas can get the win against Notre Dame, not only will the Jayhawks be rolling headed into the second half of the nonconference schedule, but a trip to the Sweet 16 or beyond might be in the cards.
No.15 California at Kansas (December 7)
The Kansas Jayhawks will take on the California Golden Bears at Allen Fieldhouse in one of the biggest home contests of the year. These two teams last met in December of 2012, when the No. 19 Jayhawks lost by nine points on the road to the No.8 Golden Bears. A sophomore by the name of Natalie Knight had 13 points and six assists, while another sophomore, Chelsea Gardner, scored 12. Now Knight and Gardner are seniors and the leaders of the Jayhawks, and you can bet that they'll be out for revenge come December.
Kansas at Iowa State (January 28)
You won't want to miss the Iowa State versus Kansas game in Ames. Both teams have four returning starters, and both have some great additions. By then, Kansas will have had to learn how to control its personal fouls because the Cyclones averaged 80.4 percent last season from the charity stripe.
Oklahoma State at Kansas (February 7)
Oklahoma State at Kansas will be a great game to watch out for with Oklahoma State having six newcomers and one transfer. The Cowgirls will have a brand new team up against the Jayhawk veterans, who have had had time to build chemistry on the court. Last season when the Cyclones and Jayhawks faced off in conference play, the Cyclones put up 19 points off turnovers, which could be a problem if the Jayhawks don't protect the rock.

Big 12 WBB Predictions: Kansas sits at seventh
SCOTT CHASEN
@SChasenKU
1. Texas
2. Baylor
3. West Virginia
4. Oklahoma State
5. Oklahoma
6. Iowa State
7. Kansas
8. TCU
9. Kansas State
10. Texas Tech
Texas is primed to win the Big 12, especially considering that the Longhorns will return four of their five starters from last year, in addition to having the nation's fourth-ranked recruiting class according to ESPN. After Texas, Baylor has to be the odds-on favorite to finish second. Baylor is coming off of a fourth consecutive regular season title, but the Bears lost two starters from last
year, including Odyssey Sims, who went on to be selected with the second overall pick in the WNBA draft. Kansas will likely finish in the lower half of the conference, but that doesn't mean the NCAA Tournament is out of reach, as six Big 12 teams reached the tournament last season.

This season, Baylor looks undefeatable coming off of a 16-2 conference record last season, with West Virginia matching that record. However, with Texas, Kansas, TCU and Iowa State all having returning starters, it looks as though they will all have a foundation to build off of this upcoming season. Iowa State seems to have the upper hand with an All-Big 12 honoree
Nikki Moody and All-Big 12 freshman team members Seanna Johnson and Jadda Buckley. I may regret not ranking Kansas higher, but until I see its first conference win, I'm in the dark about how well these women play under pressure.

Mangino, who was Kansas' head coach from 2002-09, is the offensive coordinator for Iowa State (2-6, 0-5 Big 12), and the Cyclones come into town for a matchup with the Jayhawks (2-6, 0-5) on Saturday.
Iowa State's offensive coordinator Mark Mangino will be returning to Kansas this weekend when his team plays the Jayhawks in Lawrence. Last season, Kansas lost to Iowa State 34-0.
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
interim head coach Clint Bowen was on the Kansas staff for eight years under Mangino; in 2008, Bowen was promoted to sole defensive coordinator.
“[Mangino], I have a tremendous amount of respect for him,” Bowen said. “He did a lot of things for me personally to help my career, to help me develop as a coach, took numerous things from the way he operated our program. A few of the things is his work ethic is second to none.”
Mangino, who is in his first season with the Cyclones, led the Jayhawks to a 50-48 record in his tenure. Four of his teams went to Bowl games, including the victory in the Orange Bowl in the 2007-08 season, which is still the only BCS victory in Kansas history.
In his first season in 2002, Mangino's team went 2-10. In 2007, his team was 12-1 and was at one point ranked second in the Associated Press poll. Mangino resigned following the 2009 season after a 5-7 record and questions about his treatment of players.
After that, he took some time away from coaching. In 2013, he was the assistant head coach at Youngtown State, his alma mater, before
making his return to the Big 12 this season.
His tenure at Kansas might be most known for his success with the offense, especially with quarterback Todd Reesing. This year, the Mangino-coached Iowa State offense draws some comparisons to the ones from back then.
"You know, it's a similar offense, but there's a lot of different parts to it," Bowen said.
has a 58-percent completion percentage. He has thrown six interceptions and 14 touchdowns, and is also Iowa State's rushing leader, with 339 rushing yards and three touchdowns.
The Cyclones start quarterback Sam Richardson, who
His biggest target in the passing game is tight end EJ Bibbs, who has caught five touchdowns in the last four games. Bibbs is on the Mackey Award watch list for tight ends, just like Kansas tight end Jimmay Mundine.
Kansas has not played a home game since Oct. 11 against Oklahoma State.
"We exited to play back at home, been on the road the last couple of weeks," quarterback Michael Cummings said. "So it's going to be good to go out there and play on the home turf."
The Iowa State defense is giving up 226 rushing yards
per game. The Jayhawks have gotten away from running lately, amassing only 16 rushing yards against Baylor. Part of that can be attributed to the absence of DeAndre Mann, who Bowen said is still day-to-day with an undisclosed injury.
One of these teams, Mangino's former team or current team, will earn its first Big 12
victory of the season.
"We are just really excited about another opportunity against a team that we think we have good odds against," Mundine said. "We are just looking forward to the opportunity to get a win."

Opposing Sideline: An inside look at Iowa State
DAN HARMSEN
@udk_dan
Kansan football beat writer visits with Ryan Young, a beat writer for the Iowa State Daily student newspaper.
KANSAN: Paul Rhoads took over for Gene Chizik in 2009 after he up and left for greener pastures at Auburn. That season, Rhoads inherited a team that had gone just 2-10 and winless in the Big 12 the year before, and promptly won six
games on the way to an Insight Bowl victory over Minnesota. But now, the program seems to be trending downward. What are you seeing through your insider viewpoint? Is Paul Rhoads on the hot seat or are stretches like these just the nature of Iowa State football?
RYAN: In all honesty, I think it's just been a string of bad luck. The thing is, this Cyclone team has the ability to get it done, but things just haven't gone their way. Especially over the last two years, there have
been countless games where a play or two would change the outcome and give Iowa State a win instead of a loss.
I wouldn't say that Paul Rhoads is on the hot seat yet, but he could certainly find himself there pretty quick if things go south. I think that there is still hope for fans though. They've seen some good games from the Cyclones this season, and have really seemed to like the additions to Mark Mangino. Now they're just waiting for it to all come

together.
KANSAN: One more question before we get into football: Mark Mangino is obviously going to be a hot topic this week as it marks his first game in Memorial Stadium since being fired as Kansas head coach in 2009. How have Iowa State fans felt towards their new offensive coordinator, and has he been asked about his return to Lawrence this week?
RYAN: So far, I think that the general feeling toward Mark Mangino being the new offensive coordinator has been pretty positive from fans. When he replaced Courtney Messingham this past offseason, the biggest thing that fans wanted to see was something different from the offense. They wanted a more aggressive style, and ultimately, one that will win games. Even though the Cyclones aren't winning as many games as they would like, there is a definite change in the offensive scheme.
KANSAN: Sam Richardson had his coming out party against Kansas in 2012, and over the course of this season he has played pretty well with a 14 to 6 touchdown-to-interception ratio. He's got a nice target in true freshman Allen Lazard and tight end E.J. Bibbs (a Kansas nightmare). However, in the Oklahoma game, the quarterback threw 25 incom-
pleitions. Aaron Wimberley is dangerous on the ground, and gave Kansas troubles last year. Overall, how are things going offensively, and what are your thoughts on the matchup with the Kansas defense?
RYAN: You're right; Richardson really struggled against Oklahoma last week. But it wasn't just him who struggled. The whole offense just seemed out of sync against the Sooners. Richardson couldn't connect with his receivers, and the run game never really got going.
C
"This Cyclone team has the ability to get it done, but things just haven't gone their way."
RYAN YOUNG Beat writer, Iowa State Daily
Through the course of the year, Richardson has had some pretty good numbers, though. He had back-to-back 300 yard passing games, and has been the team's leading rusher throughout most of the season. The run game has seemed to struggle this season, though. Neither Wimberly, nor any other running back, has really stood out this year, and that's hurt the offense. Getting that aspect of the game going
would be a big help, but it's not an area that fans should expect to see a big change in quickly.
KANSAN: Iowa State has allowed 30 points or more in every game but one this season. They may pick up their second this weekend against a struggling Kansas offense that has scored 30 points or more just once this season, but how do you see this one playing out? What have been the defensive struggles for ISU so far, and who are some players to watch?
RYAN: The defense has been an area of concern all year for the Cyclones, and they suffered another big blow last week when Miller went down with a knee injury. They also missed a lot of tackles against Oklahoma. The Cyclones have a very young defense, without much experience. They can make plays and come up with stops at times, but they aren't always consistent. They'll need to string together a full game on Saturday if they want to be successful.

Kansas volleyball seeks season sweep of Texas Tech
MATT CORTE
@Corte_UDK
One hour and 27 minutes was all the time Kansas volleyball needed to sweep Texas Tech on Oct. 25 in Lawrence, which marked the shortest amount of time Kansas took to knock off a Big 12 opponent this season.
The Jayhawks' second shortest time needed for a victory was against TCU, using an hour and 29 minutes to sweep the Horned Frogs on Oct.18.
Why is this important?
Well, because Kansas (17- 7, 5-5) ended up losing to TCU the next time out, and if the team isn't prepared, Texas Tech (15-8, 3-8) — Kansas' Saturday opponent in Lubbock, Texas — could be the second team to defeat the Jayhawks after being swept by them previously.
It's not every day you see a Big 12 team sweep an opponent, just to be defeated the next time the two played each other.
In fact, Kansas is the
one school in the entire conference to lose to a team they had swept before.
Texas Tech will be coming into the match on a five-match losing streak.
The only other team to almost accomplish this feat, if you'd call it that, is rival Kansas State. Last Saturday the Wildcats came back after being down 2-0 to defeat Texas Tech, who previously swept in Lubbock.
See the big warning label vet?
Kansas will be coming into the match with momentum on its side after a complete
performance against Baylor on Wednesday. The Jayhawks defeated the Bears in straight sets.
Kansas will need to follow its old blueprint against Texas Tech. The Jayhawks held the Red Raiders to a combined .081 hitting percentage in the first meeting, and out blocked Texas Tech 13.5 to 2.5.
the match as well, showing the team can win solely off a dominant blocking performance.
One of the perks of a big block is the energy it can bring to a team. There's nothing like thwarting the opposing offense from gaining an edge, and coach Ray Bechard noted that after Kansas last defeat Texas Tech in Lawrence.
"When you start blocking teams, you can really change the game," Bechard said. "Tiana Dockery blocked a
ball in the second set, it was just a thunder block, and I really thought it changed the momentum of the game."
Kansas had just one person reach double-digit kills in
Under .500 in away Big 12 matches and playing in Lubbock on Saturday, Kansas will need a couple of those momentum-shifting blocks in order to a secure a victory against Texas Tech.

Kansas limits Baylor's potent offense, wins 3-0

Junior outside hitter Tiana Dockery watches to see if the ball will go over after attempting a save. Dockery led the Jayhawks with 12 kills against the Baylor Bears to complete the season sweep on Wednesday night in Lawrence.
In the 10 previous meetings between Kansas and Baylor dating back to 2009, only once has a team been swept by the other, and that came last season.
MATT CORTE
@Corte_UDK
On Wednesday, the Jayhawks swept the Bears for the second consecutive year and twice in the last three contests as they won all three sets against Baylor, winning 25-10, 25-14, 25-23.
Coming into the match, both teams possessed potent offenses. The Bears led the Big 12 in kills per set, including non-conference matches, averaging 13.82, while Kansas ranked right behind Baylor with 13.77 kills per set.
Through two sets, Baylor was only able to muster up a total of
Not only was Kansas able to stop Baylor from reaching its kills average in two out of three sets, it nearly stopped them from getting 14 kills in the entire match.
nine team kills, while committing 11 hitting errors during that span.
The Bears didn't record the teams 14th kill until it was 8-8 in the third set, ultimately ending the match with 24. Kansas held Baylor to about 18 below its season average for a match.
A key contribution to limiting Baylor from getting hitting opportunities was not the Jayhawks' blocking, which was also effective, but rather, the team's aggressive serving.
"We had a good game plan, but I thought the first line of defense is your serving," coach Ray Bechard said. "And even though we missed a couple serves after timeouts, and we missed set point, we served tough. And six aces and nine errors is a good ratio, so we got them out of system a little bit."
After cruising to a 2-0 set lead in the match, Kansas finally found themselves in a tight battle during the third set.
The Jawhawks went up 4-1 to start the set, and it looked as if another quick blowout was imminent.
However, that three-point gap was the most separation Kansas would find, as the teams traded momentum swings until the Jayhawks led 24-23.
Up one but still being threatened by a fourth set, Kansas turned in perhaps its best overall team play of the day, which included countless dives and even digging one ball with a shoulder, eventually leading to a Sara McClinton match-winning kill.
Kansas was paced offensively by junior outside hitter Tiana Dockery, who finished the match with 12 kills on 29 attacks and was all smiles on the team's result after the match.
"I thought it was good." Dockery said. "After the TCU match, coach Bechard said we have to do something about this. So practices have been really good, the focus has changed a little bit, and this is how we play."
Swimming and diving face Illinois on three-dual win streak

@Amie Just
The Kansas swimming and diving team (4-1) is on a three-dual win streak coming into this weekend's faceoff against Illinois. (2-1)
Last weekend, the Jayhawks stomped North Dakota 217-79 and handedly flew past TCU 172-124. Kansas athletes won all but three events that afternoon.
The Fighting Illini suffered a close loss against Northwestern (160-140) in their season opener, but bounced back with a pair of wins against Illinois State (197-102) and Southern Illinois (207.5-91.5).
Last season, Illinois defeated Kansas 186-114 in Champaign. The Jayhawks last won against the Fighting Illini in 2011 when Kansas won 174.5-118.5. The last time

Men's golf team heads to Hawaii
@coberkro
CONNOR OBERKROM
The Jayhawks men's golf team concludes their fall season this weekend in the Ka'anapali Collegeiate Classic at Lahaina, Hawaii.
Abnormally late in the season for college golf, playing in Hawaii has given Kansas an added luxury of getting a sense of where the team is at heading into the winter season.
"Playing late in the season, this is kind of a reward for all of their hard work. It is a big sacrifice for the guys, because we are missing a lot of class and playing in a state of where very few of them have played in," Kansas coach Jamie Bermel said. "For us it is the same agenda, we want to go over there and compete at the highest level. It will be a different type of grass and climate than we are used to."
Kansas has cruised to two top-5 finishes in its last two meetings and is fresh off a third-place finish in the Price's Give 'Em Five Invitational.
"I have had some great tournaments and a few disappointing ones this season, but I feel I am becoming more consistent and I am at

the top of my game," Hanna said. "We have progressed and become better as a team throughout the season. We were young last year and have grown and matured since then."
The Jayhawks golfers in Hawaii will be comprised of senior Logan Phille, junior Connor Peck and Ben Welle, sophomore Hannah and freshmen Brock Drogosch and Gary Daoust.
The tournament will be played on a 6,700-yard, part-71 course at the Ka'anapali Golf Courses, and one round will be played each day from Nov. 7-9. Kansas will be one of 15 teams competing.
Bermel hopes that this can alter some of the team's bad habits and shape itself heading into the more crucial spring season.
"I hope the guys understand the trip they are getting into, going to Maui and playing golf, this is a once in a lifetime trip," Bermel said. "Hopefully when we come back it is mission accomplished. It will be a good test of golf and a good way to see where we stand."
Kansas is one of 14 teams competing.The Jayhawks are the only Big 12 team in the competition.

No.9 K-State's success relies heavily on walkons
MANHATTAN — Scholarships don't guarantee prominence or stardom at Kansas State.
Many highly rated recruits never see the field, or bide their time for several seasons before getting a chance to compete. Meanwhile, players who show up without a scholarship are fighting them for the same jobs.
Hard work, perseverance and the right attitude mean much more to longtime coach Bill Snyder than the number of stars attached to a recruit's name.
That's why the walk-on program at Kansas State has been so successful.
"People can say we get overlooked, but ultimately it's up to us," said linebacker Jonathan Truman, one of three former walk-ons who are team captains. "We need to win all of our games and then we'll finally get some respect. It's up to us and it's what we do."

So far, the ninth-ranked Wildcats (7-1, 5-0, No. 7 CFP) are the lone unbeaten team in the Big 12, and head into Saturday night's showdown at sixr- ranked TCU with a chance to make a statement to the college football playoff selection committee.
As usual, they'll be relying on a
bunch of former walk-ons.
Defensive end Ryan Mueller, who made headlines last season with 11 1/2 sacks, has been tearing up opposing offenses once again. He has another 2 1/2 this year, despite dealing with double- and triple-teams just about every week.
Truman is third in the Big 12 with nearly 10 tackles per game, and he's 20 tackles ahead of the next-most productive player on the Kansas State defense. The serious weight lifter also got hold of a fumble and nearly returned it for a touchdown.
Special teams captain Weston Hiebert is also a former walk-on, and starting defensive back Randall Evans and center B.J. Finney have gone the walk-on rout. Finney redshirted his first year on campus, moved into the starting lineup the following year and established himself as a candidate for the Outland, Rimington and Lombardi awards.
In total, there are 58 players on the roster that are current or former walk-ons.
"I have a tremendous amount of respect for those guys," Kansas State linebacker Will Davis said. "They come in and they have to prove themselves every day. From the first day they get here, they have to show that they can hang with everyone else here.
"To go through all of that stuff
is crazy to me."
Snyder established the walk-on program at Kansas State after arriving from Iowa, where coach Hady Fry had used it to similar success. His own son, Sean Snyder, walked onto the team at Kansas State when his father was hired and became an All-American punter. He's now the associate head coach and special teams coach.
Others walk-ons include current Green Bay Packers star Jordy Nelson, former NFL players Jon McGraw and Rock Cartwright, and defensive end Blake Seiler, who is also an assistant coach on Snyder's staff.
"We take a lot of pride in the road that we've taken to get here." Truman said. "It also is a part of the hard work we've put in and dedication that it's taken us to get to this level."
Davis said the walk-ons separate Kansas State from many other programs. It's not just that they arrive in droves, but that they become productive team members.
"You don't normally hear about that anywhere else." he said. "They come to work every day and that's why they are captains. They're not just leaders vocally, but also by the way they work."

Iowa State, field goal post go down
Saturday at Memorial Stadium
JAMES HOYT/KANSAN
Students climb onto the goal post to bring it down after Kansas' win against Iowa State on Saturday. The Jayhawks won 34-14, marking their first conference win this season and the first win for Clint Bowen as interim head coach. Bowen wants to advance the program to a point when these wins are expected.
DAN HARMSEN
@UDK_Dan
Seeking its first Big 12 win of the season and Clint Bowen's first as interim head coach, 33,288 anxious fans looked on at Memorial Stadium.
Saturday marked the first conference game this season in which Kansas was expected to keep the margin of defeat within 10 points throughout conference play. However, it would have to come against an Iowa State team that Kansas has struggled to defeat over the past five seasons and had lost by a combined 85-23 the past two seasons.
In one fell swoop, a 34-14 victory against the Iowa State Cyclones (2-7, 0-6), the Jayhawks got both: the Big 12 win and Bowen's first.
"I think [the win] validates that if they do work hard enough and do the right things and continue to work together that we'll win games
and be rewarded," Bowen said. "We are starting to develop a good little system in the way we operate."
Those anxious blue-clad supporters? They took Kivisto Field by storm and deposited the south goal post in Potter Lake.
Led by junior quarterback Michael Cummings, who completed 24 of 40 passes for 278 yards and one touchdown, and a defensive output that limited Iowa State to two scores, Kansas moved to 3-6 on the season and 1-5 in the Big 12.
"I hope we get to where we win enough games that it's what we expect to do," Bowen said about the destruction of the uprights.
The layhawks looked crisp from the opening kickoff. On the team's first possession, Cummings led Kansas on a 12-play. 81-yard drive that took a little under six minutes. The junior gunslinger
completed all four of his pass attempts on the drive and on the final play of the possession, freshman running back Corey Avery scampered 14 yards into the end zone, shaking off Cyclone defenders for the early score. Avery would finish the game with 103 yards on 17 carries.

--from Cummings to junior wide receiver Nigel King. Cummings finished off the drive by plowing his way into the end zone for a touchdown.
"To come out that first drive and put points on the board, that was big to let us know that what we did all week in practice is transferring over to the game," Cummings said.
After forcing an Iowa State three-and-out on its first possession, Kansas got the ball back and covered 58 yards in just eight plays, topped off by a
20-yard pass from Cummings to senior tight end Jimmay Mundine.
"Mike [Cummings] is going to swing the ball," Mundine said. "He is definitely going to throw it and have an idea of what he wants to do."
Third-down conversions were a big reason why the Kansas offense was grooving Saturday. The Jayhawks converted 11 third downs on the afternoon, including three of five in the first quarter.
With sophomore kicker Matthew Wyman's 35-yard field goal with 41 secondis left in the first quarter, the Jayhawks had their first three-possession lead since their 34-28 victory against Southeast Missouri State on Sept.6.
"They completely controlled that first quarter," Bowen said. "I think we may played six plays total on defense. [The offense] just kept moving the chains, converting."
Kansas solidified its lead with 5:25 left in the first half on a six-yard touchdown run by senior Tony Pierson, who finished with 101 rushing yards, just two shy of Avery.
Iowa State then started to show some grit. The Cyclones scored on their final possession of the half, driving 62 yards on five plays. It was the first time Iowa State crossed midfield to that point.
But Kansas responded well.
"You hate to say it, but you look around, people are like, holy cow, what's happening?" Bowen said.
The Cyclones then took the opening possession of the second half and drove 75 yards in four plays to trim the lead to 24-14.
But Kansas responded well.
Iowa State missed a field-goal attempt that would have trimmed the lead to a touchdown, and Kansas drove 80 yards on nine plays, converting a 3rd-and-19 on a 42-yard pass
On the next possession,
senior linebacker Victor
Simmons registered a stripsack and recovered the fumble.
"To come back and make some plays and get the momentum back on our side was big." Bowen said.
Including the strip-sack, Simmons tallied another late sack and a pass deflection at the line of scrimmage. The senior from Olathe made plays that all but sealed the victory.
"When I went in for the tackle I saw him bring down the football down by his waist," Simmons said. "I was just focused on making a solid tackle and if I could feel around for the ball. Once I wrapped up I hit the ball and

ROTC holds vigil for Veterans day

@TheJamesLamb
The University's ROTC program held a 24-hour vigil this past weekend to commemorate Veterans Day.

ANNA WENNER/KANSAN
"This is our opportunity to show our support for the veterans that we work with that have served for us in the past and who will serve in the future."
Two cadets stand in front of the Campanile on Saturday. The Army and Navy ROTC programs had cadets stand at each of the three war memorials on campus as part of a 24-hour vigil for Veterans day.
JACOB MCKNIGHT
Student cadet in Army ROTC
Beginning Saturday afternoon and through the night into Sunday, students representing the Army, Marine, Navy and Air Force units stood outside the Campanile, the Korean War Memorial and the Vietnam War Memorial to honor those who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces.
“[The vigil] means a great
deal," said Jacob McKnight, a student cadet in the Army ROTC. "This is our opportunity to show our support for the veterans that we work with that have served for us in the past and who will serve in the future. This is our opportunity to pay respects, for many of us, to our friends and our family."
With time commitments evenly split between the four units of the ROTC, cadets stood for up to two hours at a memorial to keep vigil, remaining at attention for their entire shifts, unless otherwise commanded. As an annual event for the ROTC, the opportunity to stand this vigil and pay tribute to those who have come before is a great honor for those chosen to participate, said Susan Mohrbacher, an Army ROTC cadet and senior nursing student.
"Being in ROTC we're not really in the Army yet, [but] I have a lot of respect and I really value everybody's service who have come before me," Mohrbacher said. "I

feel like standing before the Campanile, as well as at the other memorials on campus is the least we can do."
"It's really cool to just have made it this far in the program
because you see a lot of people start out, and then they don't continue." Mohrbacher said. "It's been really cool to get this opportunity. We've gotten a lot of opportunities in ROTC that we wouldn't without it and this is just one of them."
Though some participants in the vigil were veteran ROTC students who had already served in the military, this event allowed members at

Parking spots outnumber permits sold
ALANA FLINN
@Alana_Finn
This year, 14,032 parking permits were sold for the 14,457 parking spots available on campus, Director of KU's Parking & Transit Donna Hultine said. According to KU's 2014-2024 Campus Master Plan, at its peak, only 62 percent of campus parking is occupied.
Hultine said most students don't realize how many parking spots are available for their use.
on a shuttle or walking.
"Parking is a finite resource on this campus," Hultine said. "It's more of a 'I can't find a spot in the lot I wanted to.' People drive around in circles looking for a spot, when you can really spend that time parking somewhere else and hopping
While many students and staff choose to purchase parking permits, others do not and risk parking in a location where they are not permitted. As a result of this, 9,174 parking tickets have been written since residence halls opened Aug.21.
Beyond that, 81 cars have been towed, which is typically a result of having three or more unpaid parking tickets, Hultine said. Although unpermitted cars take up space, Megan Grauer, a sophomore from Shawnee, said it has never conflicted with her ability to find a spot.
"I never have really looked to see if other cars have permits or not," Grauer said. "But if the parking lot was full, and I saw a car
without a permit, I would get frustrated."
Parking for students is limited to commuter parking and resident halls. Students may purchase yellow permits for $225 according to the Parking & Transit office.
"I usually arrive on campus
Faculty and staff may purchase yellow, red, blue or gold parking permits, which allows more leeway when searching for a parking spot. The yellow permits for faculty cost the same as student permits. Red, blue and gold permits range from $270 dollars to $540.
Freshman Erin Gabriel from Derby said she does not have trouble finding a parking spot in lot 90, which is the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center lot.
between 9-9:30 a.m., but I have left and came back before for later classes, and it was just as easy to find a spot, maybe just not one as close as I wanted," Gabriel said.
Grauer also parks at the Rec and rarely has trouble finding a parking spot.
"I usually get to campus and park around 8 a.m. to 9 a.m." Grauer said. "From 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. the parking lot is usually empty or not very full. Other times, I don't get to campus until around 11 a.m., and depending on the weather or finals week, the parking lot tends to fill up faster. It might take longer to find a spot, but so far, I haven't found it difficult to find a parking spot."
For freshman Evan Boxler from Shawnee, finding a
parking spot on Daisy Hill has been a challenge.
"Depending on what day it is, it is typically pretty difficult to find a parking spot," Boxler said. "It mainly angers me because I paid a couple hundred dollars for a spot, and I have a lot of trouble finding one. Once I get a spot, I try to not move my car just to save my spot. It is a huge inconvenience."
Because of her positive experience this semester, Gabriel said she is glad she purchased a permit.
"I am definitely planning on buying a parking pass again for this next year," Gabriel said. "It has made things a lot easier for me."

The Jayhawk Health Initiative is specifically dedicated to giving students who are interested in both medicine and service the opportunity to volunteer abroad. These students work in mobile clinics and provide medical and dental care to the indigenous people living in rural Panama.
NELSON
Since its creation, Jayhawk Health Initiative has gone on one medical brigade per year to Panama, with help from "Global Brigades" and "Heart to Heart International."
This year, Loving is focusing on preparing the future leaders of the group, due to her graduating in just a few months.
A participant in last year's medical brigade to Panama poses with a child he helped. The brigade is a part of the Jayhawk Health Initiative.
Jena Klaas, a freshman from Piper, was one of the 50 candidates chosen for the 2015 brigade.
CONTRIBUTED PHOTOS
Klaas found out about Jayhawk Health Initiative through her resident assistant. After attending a meeting, she thought the trip would tie in perfectly with her community health major.
As they have in the past, the brigade will last a week starting May 17 with students' days already planned out.
"I'm most excited for working directly with the patients," Klaas said. "There aren't many other opportunities for trips where you get to do that. I'm also excited to educate them on different aspects of health to hopefully improve their lives in the future."
Upon their arrival in Panama, the group organizes all of the medications and prepares the clinic for the upcoming three days that are delegated to working it. Loving said Jayhawk Health
Initiative, with help from other groups, supplies the entire thing.
Before they return home, volunteers also get to experience a day of culture in Panama. Each year, they do something different. In the past, the group has gone on hikes and visited local market places and schoolhouses.
Within the clinic are a multitude of stations: triage, dental, consult and pharmacy, delegating a wide range of responsibilities to the volunteers.
"We were able to play with the schoolchildren during their morning break," said Morgan Klug, a senior from Wichita who went on one of the previous year's trips. "We taught them how to play 'When I'm Gone' with plastic cups and played soccer with them. Later in the afternoon we were able to go to a

Jayhawk artifacts travel to Los Angeles for nationwide tour
PAIGE STINGLEY
@paigestingley
A collection of roughly 30 historical KU artifacts will travel to Los Angeles today for its next stop on the Evolution of the Jayhawk tour, a nationwide series that started Sept.22.
The University of Kansas Libraries partnered with the Alumni Association to bring the show to alumni gatherings in 12 cities. Rebecca Smith, KU Libraries director of communication and advancement, said the purpose of the tour is to engage alumni and increase awareness of the roles libraries play on campus.
"We want to grow our donor base and show people what the libraries do for the campus and for continuing education," Smith said.
This particular series features historical Jayhawk artifacts, dating back to the 1850s and 1860s. Among the objects on display are videos of when Baby Jay hatched during the 1971 Homecoming football game and the 1950 Glee Club singing KU songs.
University Archivist Becky Shulte said she has been researching the history of the Jayhawk for years. She's found Jayhawk artifacts not only at KU, but in newspaper clippings and yearbooks from Kansas State University, University of Missouri and University of Nebraska.
"The history of the Jayhawk doesn't just start in 1912," Shulte said. "It began way
before that, when Kansas was deciding whether to join the union as a free state or a slavery state, and even before that."
TWO MASCOTS
Some of the most interesting artifacts on display include:
A picture dated 1917 features both the Jayhawk mascot and the bulldog. The bulldog was the original mascot of KU for decades. It wasn't until 1912 that the University copyrighted the first Jayhawk. Even after that, the University took several years to fully transition its mascot from the bulldog to the Jayhawk. This image is the only image found that shows both mascots.
METAL PLATE MYSTERY
BABY JAY SHOES AND HANDS
This small metal tin with the KU logo has been found but provides no answers to KU's history; instead, it raises more questions. The Jayhawk featured on the tin is not one of the copyrighted Jayhawks, and no other record of this Jayhawk exists. It possesses some similar characteristics as earlier Jayhawks, such as the buckles on the shoes, but the tin has no date written on it.
The Big Jay mascot has been around since roughly 1917, but it wasn't until much later that Baby Jay was born. The idea for Baby Jay came about in spring 1971, when a friend of the Big Jay thought it would be fun to be another mascot. She proposed the idea to the administration, which told her to create and present the costume before the University would decide. Over the summer, the student and her parents designed and created the original Baby Jay costume. She brought it back in the fall and the administration fell in love with the idea immediately. The original costume is on display in the Kansas Union, but the shoes and hands travel with the tour.
"I honestly don't know what this artifact means, what it is, or what it's from," Shulte said. "I put this one on display in case there are older alumni who may have seen it before or have more information on the Jayhawk used. I tell them, 'If you meet anyone who knows anything about this one, tell them the archivist really wants to know.'"
VIDEO OF BABY JAY BEING HATCHED DURING THE 1971 HOMECOMING VICTORY AGAINST KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY
After the administration had approved the idea of Baby Jay, it had to figure out a way to reveal her to the public. For a week before the 1971 Homecoming game, both the administration and The University Daily Kansan advertised to students not to miss the big surprised planned for the game. During halftime, a large egg was rolled out onto the field on a trailer. From it emerged Baby Jay, appearing as if she had just "hatched" from the egg.

BERLIN — The citizens of Berlin on Sunday released almost 7,000 balloons into the night sky, many carrying messages of hope to mark the 25th anniversary since the fall of the wall that once divided their city.
The symbolic act recalled the giddy night of Nov. 9, 1989, when thousands of people from the communist East streamed through the Berlin Wall to celebrate freedom with their brethren in the West.
"For peace and freedom," Berlin mayor Klaus Wowereit told a crowd of ten thousands that had gathered at the city's iconic Brandenburg Gate as he gave the signal to release the balloons, which has been placed, illuminated, along a 15-kilometer (9-mile) stretch of the former border.
Earlier he thanked the former leaders of Poland, Hungary and the Soviet Union — Lech Walesa, Miklos Nemeth and Mikhail Gorbachev — for having helped set the stage for Germany's peaceful revolution.
Gorbachev — who is still a popular figure in Germany — was greeted with affectionate shouts of "Gorbi, Gorbi" by the crowds.
Hours earlier German Chancellor Angela Merkel had honored the memory of the 138 people who died along the Berlin Wall, and the countless others who suffered during its 28-year existence.
The latter included Dorothea Ebert, a violinist who was imprisoned in East Germany after a failed attempt
to escape. On Sunday, Ebert played a piece by Bach that she had practiced over and over during her imprisonment — on an imaginary violin, because the communist authorities refused to let her have a real one.
Merkel also paid tribute to those who helped bring down the wall, calling its collapse an example of the human yearning for freedom.
"It was about reclaiming freedom, about being citizens, not subjects," Merkel said at the main memorial site for the wall on Bernauer Strasse.
The protests that forced East German authorities to relax travel restrictions for their citizens were spurred by changes that had already taken place elsewhere in Eastern Europe. Merkel said thewall's collapse should be regarded as a sign of hope for people suffering in Ukraine, Syria and Iraq.
"The fall of the wall has shown us that dreams can come true," said Merkel, who grew up in East Germany. "Nothing has to stay the way it is, however big the hurdles are."
Merkel noted that Nov. 9 is a significant date in German history also for being the day when, in 1938, Nazi paramilitaries launched a pogrom against the country's Jewish population in what became known as Kristallnacht — the "Night of Broken Glass."
"That was the opening note for the murder of millions," said Merkel, adding that on Nov. 9 each year "I feel not just joy, but the responsibility that German history burdens us with."

I think Reddit has turned me into an Internet hipster. People get excited over things on Tumbir and whatnot and I'm all like ... dude I saw that two weeks ago.
Would politicians get more done if they didn't spend a ton of time and money on campaigning? It seems like an extremely inefficient ordeal.

H halloween has passed, meaning all of the delicious
an of the delicious candy and fun decorations are also long gone. No need to fret, Thanksgiving is next. But does anyone notice that the second Halloween is over, stores immediately put up Christmas decorations? Why is Thanksgiving always swent under the rug?
I love everything about Thanksgiving — quality family time, football games, Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, delicious home-cooked meals and even better, leftovers. I wish
Thanksgiving received more recognition than just a discount on turkeys at the grocery store.
grocery store.
The main reason I love Thanksgiving is because I have time to really think about what I am thankful for. People rarely have time to do that anymore. The busyness of our daily lives keeps us from thinking about deep things like that.
We should be thankful for many things here at the University of Kansas. Thinking about this made me realize everything I take for granted.
Panda Express in the Union is one of those things. Who doesn't love a delicious
and inexpensive lunch right on campus? Sure, crunchy chicken cheddar wraps are good, but they don't compare to Panda. It even has its own little spot on the third floor. We should be beyond thankful for Panda Express.
We should also appreciate the buses in Lawrence. They are there for you through thick and thin. Whether you've had a couple drinks and need SafeBus, or you're just cold and need to get to class on time - they will literally pick you up when you are down (the hill).
the student clubs and organizations make up another great part of the
University. They represent a part of who we, the students, are. Not only do some provide students with great benefits such as free food and T-shirts, but getting involved in them helps students meet some pretty amazing people.
We might also forget to appreciate our advisors. All KU faculty and staff are amazing, but advisors are the cream of the crop. It is crazy how many students they help. I am so thankful for my advisor and all the countless times he saved me from stressing out.
Last, but certainly not least,
I'm thankful for basketball
season and Bill Self. If Bill
Self buying students lunches at The Underground doesn't convince you of how incredible he is, I don't know what will. This season will be unreal, and Bill Self is one heck of a person.
Thanksgiving break gives us a chance to go home, catch up with family and eat delicious food. Take the time to think about some things you are thankful for. Even just thinking of one thing can really make a difference. Rock Chalk and Happy Thanksgiving.

Humanities majors provide societal benefits
My friend and I often argue over which major
which major applies more to society; my friend majors in chemical engineering and I major in English. I'd like to think of these arguments as friendly banter, but with a decreasing amount of college students majoring in the humanities, I have to wonder whether people misjudge the importance of these fields of study.
According to 4Humanities, a platform and resource for advocating the humanities, the term humanities includes literature, classics, ancient and
modern languages, history philosophy, media studies,the fine and performing arts,and other related subjects.
Although humanities contains a wide variety of interests, a survey taken by the National Center for Education Statistics found the "humanities" only comprised 16.5 percent of the degrees conferred in the 2011-12 scholarly year.
While this covers the 2011- 12 school year and does not account for the past two school years, the percent of humanities degrees has remained between 16-18 percent since 1990.
Given the numerous fields and the advantages these fields provide, this low
number worries me for the current standing of American educational values.
The humanities promote critical thinking skills needed to understand complex situations. The tools needed to discern the correct response to problems such as equality, social justice and morality can be acquired through this subject.
Reading literature that lends itself to thinking critically about a certain issue, creating art or media that provides a different perspective, taking a logic class in order to recognize fallacies in an argument these skills help develop more informed and critical people.
Humanities studies also creates empathy. Studying the
history of a culture allows for a greater understanding of the people that embody that culture.
The empathetic connections people need to interact with one another across national boundaries is made available. Without the empathy created by the study of foreign language and cultural studies, we would be unable to communicate with other countries. This lack of communication would result in an inability to trade and discuss foreign affairs.
- KANSAN CARTOON:
The humanities also promotes creativity through media, literature, visual arts, dance and acting. Other modes include architecture, urban planning and environmental policy development.
Without creativity, new ideas would not be developed, entertainment would become stagnant and new ways of understanding the world would never be discovered.
I've only listed a few ways certain sects of the humanities could benefit American society, but I've also left out many. While the natural, computer and medical sciences are definitely beneficial, a complete focus on these would be a mistake. Americans need to acquire a better understanding of the benefits the humanities provide.

beautiful, and there's so much nobility and eloquence about how they move," said Michelle Heffner Hayes, chair of the KU Department of Dance. "They always present it in a historical context, and it's always about social activism. It's amazing. It's amazing what they do."
TRENDING
Hayes had worked with the company early in her career and said she was greatly influenced by the three-year project she did with them.
"It changed the way I thought about the role of the arts in communities and how hip-hop can speak to the world," Hayes said.
"I'm so excited that people in this region are finally getting to see this company, because they do phenomenal work all over the U.S. and all over the world, and I want Kansas to be a part of that," Hayes said.
This is the first time the KU Department of Dance is partnering with the Lied Center, and Hayes said she is thankful that the center was open to collaborating.
Hayes expects positive results from the event. She said the
only challenge was the labor it takes to put on the program.
"We do this kind of work because we love it, not because we expect it to be easy," Hayes said.
Free and open to the public, the classes will take as many walk-ins as the space allows. Currently more than 20 people are signed up, including senior dance majors Kelly Casper from Rogers, Minn., and Krisa Farrington of Overland Park. Farrington is a contemporary dancer and Casper is a modern and ballet dancer, but both said
they are willing to learn a new style of dance.
Casper said she looks forward to meeting new choreographers from around the country.
"Philadelphia is an area of the nation that I'm not quite familiar with, so I think it's really great to make contacts wherever you can and just kind of get a taste of what their life is like," she said.

Campus celebrates the Marine's 239th birthday
MINSEON KIM
@minseonkim94
For the past 19 years, Marine Officer Instructor Brian Collins has been a part of a much older tradition — more than two centuries old in fact.
The Marine Corps, founded in 1775, celebrates its 239th birthday Monday. In the Lawrence area, former and current marines like Collins are coming together to celebrate the corps' history at 10:30 a.m. today at the Dole Institute of Politics.
Collins, a graduate student from Parsons, attended last year's celebration, which he said was an honorable experience.
"It's always special to join marines past and present and get together and talk about the shared experience we have, Collins said. "So it was very special for me to be part of that last year."
Born and raised in a small town in southeast Kansas, Collins wanted to experience different places around the world. Even though he originally intended to stay for just four years in the Navy ROTC, he said the extraordinary experiences he had made him stay much longer.
"When the four-year mark came up, my commitment was done," he said. "I realized that
this is something very special and I wasn't ready to let go of it, and here it is, going on 19 years later, where I am still in love with it."
He has now traveled to more than 30 countries and said it was special for him to see people from very different backgrounds sharing a common ideal.
"The most extraordinary experience for me was being in such a diverse environment with folks of all different walks of lives from every corner of the country all together here because they share this common ideal of patriotism and service," Collins said.
"They learn what it means to be a citizen that gives something back," Collins said. "At a very early age, they learn how to manage people and situations and work together as a team."
Collins said KU Navy ROTC
Ben Allman, a senior from Joplin, Mo., said Navy ROTC provides years of leadership development and military training on top of acclimation to what military life is actually like. Allman said the rewards definitely outweigh the challenges.
provides students an opportunity to understand what it means to serve not only the military but also the community.
"They are also getting a family unit of brothers and sisters here at KU that are walking the same paths as they are and are getting ready for their careers and they can bond with them, form friendships that will last their lifetime," Allman said.
Corey Bredeson, midshipman first class, and a senior from Platte City, Mo., said he feels close to the KU Navy ROTC group and that it's like a brotherhood.
"We do a lot of fun stuff, but it is not short on challenges either." Bredeson said. "It really is what you make it."

From left, Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway and David Gyasi act out a scene in the movie "Interstellar." The movie was directed by Christopher Nolan, who has directed "The Dark Knight" trilogy and "Inception."
TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
'Interstellar' explores space with grand scope and emotion
Few directors have a creative vision as profound as
as profound as Christopher Nolan, and in "Interstellar," he doesn't just reach for the stars — he hurtles beyond them through space and time.
By Alex Lamb
@Lambcannon
Nolan steps onto a larger stage with each of his projects, so after redefining the superhero genre with "The Dark Knight" trilogy and probing the depths of the mind in the most thrilling way possible with "Inception", he's now created one of the essential space films. It's an expedition into the final frontier bolstering more emotional heart than his other movies, while the visuals hold such awe as to mesmerize and induce the almighty "Whoooa."
A black hole in space has provided a portal to another
It wouldn't be a Nolan film without dense plotting that both builds a finely detailed world of its own and requires frequent explanation by the characters, yet is still pretty confusing. Earth is dying and most people are farmers, since extreme Dust Bowl conditions and a crop-killing plant disease make food a precious, dwindling resource. Cooper (Matthew McCo naughey), a former NASA pilot, has begrudgingly taken up farming as well, until fate leads him back to (the now secretly operating) NASA, where Professor Brand (Michael Caine) recruits him for a mission to save humanity.
ga1axy, with planets on the other side that could become a new home for humans. if one is verified as hospitable enough. So Cooper, a devoted family man, must leave his farmer son (Timothée Chalamet) and whip-smart daughter (Mackenzie Foy) on Earth, embarking to secure a future for them and everyone else while knowing the mission may last many years. Brand's daughter (Anne Hathaway), two other scientists (Wes Bentley and David Gyasi) and two blocky robots fill out the rest of the crew.
It's a majesty to behold as the ship travels through space, the craft shown like a speck while it passes by the enormity of Saturn. Hans Zimmer's score gives a haunting grandiosity to the giant black void, organs bringing out the wonder in Cooper's musings on exploring the stars and driving home the sad cost of lonely exploration, yet pulsating with tension during sequences of heightened spectacle.
Hearing how the black hole works is fascinating, but watching the jump through it is truly an extraordinary cinematic experience, one worth seeing in IMAX. It's
not the acid-trip crazy of the wormhole in "2001: A Space Odyssey" but rather more like what Space Mountain wishes it could be a transcendent, eye-poppingly SFX-enhanced roller coaster ride.
Replacing Nolan's longtime cinematographer Wallyister (who was making his own movie "Transcendence" instead) is Hoyte Van Hoytema, who uses more restrained techniques to give "Interstellar" a resoundingly elegant visual style. Simple cuts from inside the ship to silent shots strapped to its outside, focused on engines or airlocks with a wide view of space in the background, have immense power. And when the crew faces challenges, Hoytema frames them with intimidating size.
After passing through the black hole, the crew confronts difficult decisions and dangerous obstacles, making for epic thrills and intelligent reflections of deep themes like the explorers' sacrifice, the relativity of time and the power of love. Christopher and brother Jonathan Nolan take a few contrived narrative steps here and there as a means to just move to the next plot point in their script, but by and large, they hit the mark with plausible gripping progression.
The most predictable weak point at least leads to a phenomenally bracing chase scene. Some of the unanswered story threads early on return in the third act in the
most satisfying and mind-expanding section of the film, paying off with extremely clever and emotional strength in story construction.
The cast is all in fine form, though McConaughey's performance exhibits the most stirring moments of authenticity through Cooper's connection to his daughter. Making audiences cry in a major movie can now be added to McConaughey's list of accomplishments.

The main word used to describe "Interstellar" has been ambitious because Nolan dares to go soaring beyond the typical boundaries of blockbuster cinema with unique, bold filmmaking and storytelling. It may not be quite as entertaining as a gritty superhero movie, but it has a lot more to say.

Chiefs rally to 17-13 win against bumbling Bills
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. Quarterback Alex Smith and the Kansas City Chiefs took advantage of the bumbling Buffalo Bills.
Anthony Sherman recovered a fumble to set up Smith's 8-yard touchdown run with nearly nine minutes left in lifting the Chiefs to a 17-13 come-from-behind victory. Jamaal Charles also scored on a 39-yard run as the Chiefs (6-3) scored twice in a span of 4:31 to overcome a 13-3 deficit.
The Chiefs' defense then made a stand at its 15 by forcing Kyle Orton to throw four consecutive incompletions and turn the ball over on downs with 2:32 left.
52 23 68
Defensive back Ron Parker knocked down three of Orton's attempts, including a throw on fourth down to rookie Sammy Watkins at the 1. Orton's other miss came on third down, when he zipped a pass over the middle that was out of the reach of Chris Hogan in the end zone.
Smith scored two plays after Sherman punched the ball out of the hands of Bills punt returner Leodis McKelvin and then pounced on the loose ball at Buffalo's 26.
Kansas City improved to 6-1 since opening the season with two losses. Charles finished with 98 yards rushing, while Smith went 17 of 29 for 177 yards.
That wasn't the only Bills
Kansas City Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles (25) runs for a touchdown against the Buffalo Bills during the second half of Sunday's game.
miscue in a game Buffalo settled for two field goals on four trips inside the Chiefs 20.
Charles' touchdown run came on a drive after the Bills were stopped twice at the Chiefs 2 and settled for Dan Carpenter's 21-yard field goal. The Bills squandered another scoring opportunity on their opening drive of the second half.
Running back Bryce Brown was three steps from the end zone when he had the ball punched out of his hands by Parker. The ball bounced into the end zone, where tight end Scott Chandler had if go off his fingers and out for a touchback.
It was a game the Bills (5-4) let get away, while squandering an opportunity to gain an edge in a jumbled AFC playoff picture.
Buffalo snapped a two-game win streak and fell to 2-4 against conference rivals. They face a key test in a short week — at division rival Miami on Thursday night.
Orton went 29 of 48 for 259 yards, including a 25-yard touchdown to Hogan.
Marcell Dareus had three of Buffalo's six sacks.
The game's momentum began turning after Carpenter's field goal put the Bills ahead 13-3 with 3:06 left in the third quarter.
The Chiefs followed with a 10-play drive Charles capped with his 39-yard run. It came on a fourth-and-1, and after Smith completed a 15-yard pass to Dwayne Bowe just
inside the left sideline on third down.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Smith caught the Bills' defense leaning right, and pitched the ball to Charles the other way.
Bowe led the Chiefs with eight catches for 93 yards.
This marked the fourth time during the drought the Bills lost after compiling a 5-3 record. Buffalo hasn't had six or more wins through nine games since 1999, the last time it made the playoffs.
Bowe led the Chiefs with eight catchers for 93 yards. For Buffalo, it was a familiar finish for a team in the midst of a 14-season playoff drought — the NFL's longest active streak.
Brown finished with 35 yards rushing, while Anthony Dixon led Buffalo with 62 yards rushing.

came right out."
Iowa State's offense would threaten to score on multiple occasions the rest of the way, but the Cyclones couldn't score any more points.
The win was Kansas' first against Iowa State since 2009.
Although its chances are slim-to-none, with the win,
Kansas remains in contention for bowl eligibility. After senior day Saturday against No. 6 TCU, Kansas makes road trips to No.15 Oklahoma and No.7 Kansas State to close out the season. The Jayhawks must win all three games to qualify.
Mangino's return
2009: A pivotal year in
Kansas football history.
That faithful season was highlighted by a 41-36 victory against the Cyclones, back when Mark Mangino was on the sidelines coaching the No. 16 Jayhawks. This time, in the 34-14 victory, Mangino was again calling plays in Lawrence — only in a different capacity.
Hired this past January as the Cyclones' offensive coordinator, Mangino made his return trip to Kansas
since being forced to resign as head coach. After a player- abuse investigation spurred by several players, a 5-0 start turned into seven straight losses. Since the Iowa State victory in 2009, Kansas has gone just 11-52.
Those were the days when "Mark Mangino" chants rang throughout a joyous Memorial Stadium, and he refused to take a Gatorade bath following
big wins.
Five years later, it was his eight-year understudy, Clint Bowen, hearing his name chanted by a delighted student section. This time, though, Bowen accepted the sticky bath with open arms — his first victory as interim head coach.
"(Mangino's) message was just congratulations," Bowen said of the post-game
embrace. "I truly appreciate everything he's always done for me for a long time, personally, professionally. There's so many things I've done in the last four weeks that I learned from coach Mangino. The guy is a tireless worker, put his heart and soul in this program, and I think anyone that's a Kansas fan should appreciate that."

Senior forward Chelsea Gardner goes up for a layup in the win against Washburn on Sunday in Allen Fieldhouse.
SCOTT CHASEN
@SChasenKU
Women's basketball rewind: Washburn
Score:
Kansas defeated Washburn 78-58 at Allen Fieldhouse on Sunday afternoon.
Game to remember:
Senior guard Natalie Knight and senior forward Chelsea Gardner both had spectacular games, combining for 41 points on 22 field goal attempts. Gardner dominated the boards, racking up nine rebounds in 28 minutes of play. Knight, on the other hand, did a little bit of everything, grabbing four rebounds while picking up three assists, one block and one steal.
Game to forget:
Bunny Williams had a pretty forgetful game, failing to score a single point in 21 minutes of play. The senior forward managed to grab two rebounds in each half, but overall her impact on the game was not as big as she would've hoped.
Freshman guard Lauren Aldridge scored the first points of the game for the Jayhawks, before connecting on a three two minutes later. Aldridge had six points, one rebound
Unsung Hero:
and one assist in the first half, as she continued to show why she deserves her starting spot.
Player Kansas couldn't contain:
Center Honor Duvall was the best player for Washburn, scoring 14 points on 6-of-11 shooting. Duvall scored 12 of her 14 in the second half, and she helped keep Washburn in the game deep into the final period.
Firsthalf summary:
The Jayhawks dominated the first half, with Knight leading the way. Knight scored 12 points while shooting 80 percent from the field, as the Jayhawks took a 37-20 lead into half. Kansas' first half defense was stifling, as Washburn made just five of its 34 shot attempts in the first half, with its starters combining to make just one field-goal attempt.
Second half summary:
Kansas played poorly in the second half, only outscoring Washburn by three points. The Jayhawks were subpar defensively, as they would allow 38 points on 15- of 28 shooting. The Jayhawks also shot 35.7 percent in the second half, which was worse than they had shot in any other half
in the two exhibition games
Moving Forward:
After the game, coach Bonnie Henrickson mentioned that she was disappointed the Jayhawks only got to face about 10 possessions of zone defense from Washburn. The Jayhawks' first opponent, South Dakota, uses a 2-3 zone as a base defense, which mirrored the defense that Washburn played at the end of last season. However, the Ichabods chose not to use their zone very often, meaning Kansas still has a lot of work to do to prepare for South Dakota's defense.
By the numbers:
19 — Kansas had 19 turnovers against Washburn, losing the turnover battle for a second consecutive game.
21. 5 Through the two exhibition games, Chelsea Gardner averages 21.5 points and 9.5 rebounds per game.
38 - In their first two games, the Jayhawks found themselves up a combined 38 points at the end of the first half, but the Jayhawks have only outscored their two opponents in the second half by a combined three points.

THE MORNING BREW
A deep bench does not guarantee a deep run in March
The tip-off of college basketball season is less than a week away, and fans around the
nation are making their case for why their school will be cutting down the nets this coming spring.
One of the most recurring attributes in preseason team previews alongside, talent and experience, is depth. Analysts put a lot of weight on how deep a team's bench is when predicting who is going to succeed come March.
While it sounds good in theory, history shows that giving many players regular minutes isn't always the best option.
For the 2014-15 season, the Kentucky Wildcats are the favorites to raise the trophy because of the massive amount of talent coach John Calipari was able to acquire in the offseason to join those who returned from last year's national runner-up squad. In fact, the team has so many quality players that Calipari plans to use two five-man "platoons" throughout the season that are similar to line shifts seen in hockey.
By Kylan Whitmer
@KRWhitmer
This year's Kansas team is in a similar situation with 11 players who could see meaningful minutes on the court. It is a great luxury for coach Bill Self, however, he might want to take a look back at his best teams, as well.
On the other side of things, in the seasons with disappointing endings due to early tournament exits, Self had given eight or more players meaningful minutes during the
In the 2007-08 season, in which Self led the Jayhawks to the national championship, the team's regular rotation consisted of just seven players. Similarly in the 2011-12 season, the Jayhawks fell just short of another championship with seven players seeing meaningful minutes.
tournament.
Since the Jayhawks' last national championship, the teams that have won the tournament have also used fewer players in order to win.
The 2009 North Carolina Tar Heels won with seven players seeing meaningful minutes of playing time while the 2010 Duke Blue Devils and 2012 Kentucky Wildcats used just six players in the regular rotation.
THE BREW
However, this does not mean teams cannot succeed by using all the talent on their bench. This year, Connecticut won the tournament with eight players seeing more than 10 minutes of play. Louisville achieved the same outcome two years ago by using nine players in the regular rotation, and Connecticut again in 2011 using 10 players regularly.
There is a no-fail-proof strategy in
college basketball, and coaches have been able to develop good chemistry with their teams using more than seven players in their rotation in the past. Having 11 players
Having 11 players who could be in regular rotation is nothing to complain about, and if Self can make it work and hang another banner in Allen Fieldhouse, then hats off to him. However, he should consider what has worked in the past in order to make a deep run in the NCAA tournament this March.

Swimming and diving wins close dual against Illinois

It all came down to the last race of the afternoon. Illinois and Kansas were neck and neck until the bitter end.
The 200-yard freestyle relay was a must-win to emerge victorious in the overall meet, Saturday at Robinson Natatorium, and the final leg of the race ended up determining the winner.
Spectators thought Illinois finished first, but the timing system told a different story. Kansas sophomore Yulya
Kuchkarova out-touched Illinois senior Megan Marchuck by .03 of a second to finish out the day, clinching a win for the Jayhawks.
"When I first saw it, I thought, 'Oh they touched us out,' but when I looked up, we had won by .03 of a second," coach Clark Campbell said.
freshmen Hannah Driscoll and Madison Straight.
Kansas won the meet 154-146. Prior to the dual against Illinois, Kansas won its duals by an average of 134.2 points.
Helping Kansas secure the win were juniors Chelsie Miller and Haley Molden, and

"I'm really happy," Miller said. "This week has been pretty tough; we increased our yardage. I've been a little tired, and I wasn't too sure how I was going to do. I'm really happy with it. I was freaking out a little bit, but it was fun."
Miller won all three of her individual events for the afternoon. She finished her 1,000-yard freestyle in a time
Molden was on the winning 200-yard freestyle relay and anchored the fourth place finish in the 200-yard medley relay. She also swam in the 100-yard freestyle, winning by half of a second. Molden also secured a win in the 200-yard freestyle by finishing in 1:50.94.

COMMENTARY Bowen makes the difference in first Big 12 win
By Blair Sheade
@RealBlairSheady
The fans rushed the field, the goal post came down and in-
came down and interim head coach Clint Bowen received a Gatorade bath; all these events occurred when the Kansas football program won a Big 12 Conference game.
All stats aside, the resilience of the Kansas team (3-6,1-5), and the respect the team has for Bowen made the difference in the 34-14 win against the Iowa State Cyclones (2-7,0-6). This win should be enough for Bowen to keep the head coaching job moving forward.
"This game was a microcosm of our season," junior quarterback Michael Cummings said. "We saw some adversity, but we just kept battling through that adversity, and it is good to finally get a win after all of the hard work we put in."
Senior linebacker Ben Heeney said the team is filled with players who don't quit, and this team wanted to win for Bowen because the team doesn't know someone who bleeds crimson and blue more than Bowen does.
"No one loves KU more than [Bowen]," Heeney said. "This is big for us to get [Bowen] that win. He needed one, and we hope to get him a couple more."
Say all you want about Bowen only winning one conference game against a 2-7 Iowa State team; Bowen won a conference game within the first five games after becoming head coach. Former coach Charlie Weis didn't win a conference game during his entire first season at Kansas.
["Bowen] connects with us," Heeney said. "When he first took over, the first day, he was out there running sprints with us."
Bowen also brings a different presence to the team, which many of the players haven't seen before. Bowen likes to have fun with the team, and he gains the player's respect.
the team's message is to keep Bowen around. The record doesn't show it, but Bowen has rejuvenated this Kansas football team. Heeney said the team is 100 percent behind Bowen, and even though Heeney won't be around next season, Bowen has his vote.
All the players believe Bowen can be the face of Kansas football in the future, but Bowen hasn't thought about it and won't until the season is over.
"We are behind [Bowen], the whole team feels like he should be the guy," Heeney said. "We want him to be the guy. There is not a guy in the United States that loves Jayhawk nation more than [Bowen]."
"We've got a great, unbelievable athletic director who understands football, understands this program." Bowen said. "When this thing is all over, he's going to make the best decision for the University of Kansas and we're all going to support it."

Kansas closes strong against Texas Tech to win in four sets, brings record over .500

@Corte_UDK
Kansas volleyball has a Big 12 record over .500 for the first time this season after defeating Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas, 22-25, 25-18, 25-19, 25-21.
The Jayhawks (18-7, 6-5) started conference play poorly by going 0-3, but have rebounded since, winning six of eight to finally push the team to a winning Big 12 record.
"Today was obviously extremely important," coach Ray Bechard said. "We've been fighting to get over that .500 mark and this was a very good team. We also have five very good teams left, so now we try to get better each and every day and look forward to
our travels to Manhattan."
Junior outside hitter Tiana Dockery led the way for Kansas. After racking up 29 attacks in a sweep against Baylor, Dockery totaled 47 attacks against Texas Tech (15-9,3-9), converting 20 for a season high in kills.
Senior outside hitter Sara McClinton also helped carry the Jayhawks offensively, converting 16 kills on 34 attacks for a .353 hitting percentage, which led the team.
Both Kansas and Texas Tech exchanged points early in set one until the Jayhawks built its largest lead at 16-13.
The Red Raiders quickly responded, though, claiming four straight points of its own and 11 of 14 to push the Jayhawks to a 24-19 deficit.
Kansas made the first set interesting by scoring three straight points to close the gap at 24-22. However, Texas Tech put the next ball away for its first set win against the Jayhawks since 2011.
"We've been fighting to get over that .500 mark and this was a very good team."

The first set loss also put Kansas in an unfamiliar situation, as the team had won its last five first sets dating back to Oct.18.

The Jayhawks only needed that three-point cushion, as they fought off a couple Red Raider scoring runs before scoring five of the last six points to win 25-18.
Set three featured much of the same back-and-forth scoring between the two teams, as they fought to an 18-18 tie late in the set before Kansas' underclassmen took over.
Freshman outside hitter Madison Rigdon totaled three kills, and freshman defensive specialist Addison Barry and sophomore libero Cassie Wait both had service aces, which contributed to
Kansas winning seven of the last eight set points.
After a four-point run put Kansas up 13-10 in the fourth set, the Jayhawks looked poised to finally break a set open in the match.
A comfortable finish was not meant to be for Kansas, as Texas Tech grabbed six of the next eight points to reclaim the lead 16-15.
Both teams then traded points until they tied the score at 20, and once again, Kansas finished a set strong.
The Jayhawks ended the fourth set on a 5-1 run, using four different hitters to produce those points, which ended with a match winning kill from Rigdon.

Kansas overcomes turnovers, Washburn
KIRSTEN PETERSON
@KeepUpWithKP
The Jayhawks won their second exhibition game on Sunday, defeating Washburn 78-58. The game, however, didn't seem to live up to what coach Bonnie Henrickson expected coming out of the first exhibition game against Fort Havs State last week.
Kansas had 19 turnovers, less than last week's 24 turnovers against Fort Hays State, but Henrickson said she didn't feel that this was a step up from last week's game.
"Offensively, the ball got stuck, and that's not really who we've been, so that was disappointing." Henrickson said. "Our passing skills weren't very good, but we got a lot of kids minutes and we've got the opportunity to get some kids in uniform and let them see what they look like. I thought today, more than the first time, we kind of played out of character a little bit."
Twelve of Kansas' 19 turnovers resulted in Washburn lawups.
"We didn't play with a 'poj' defensively in the second half at all and they took advantage of it." Henrickson said. "They kind of punched us
in the mouth and we didn't have an answer, [we've] got to have an answer when someone does that to us."
Senior guard Natalie Knight shined throughout the game and finished with 21 points, going 8-for-10 from the free-throw line. Henrickson said she was impressed with Knight's aggressiveness.
“[Natalie] looks good selfish.” Henrickson said. “We’ve asked her to do that, to put it on the floor and be more aggressive. That's good offense for her because she shoots it

so well."
Right behind Knight, senior forward Chelsea Gardner had 20 points and nine rebounds. Henrickson said the Jayhawks have Gardner and Knight as the team's primary producers, especially on the offensive side. When
Knight was asked if she likes facilitating the ball as much as she like scoring, she said she tended to rely on her aggressiveness.
"That comes with being more aggressive, I think," Knight said. "I love to get my teammates involved and Chelsea is our primary look, so anytime I can get it to her I'm looking for her."
Freshman guard Lauren Aldridge put up five points in her first four minutes of play, standing out at the beginning of the game. Both Henrickson and Gardner said Aldridge has done a great job. When Gardner was asked if it was difficult to have a freshman as a point guard while everyone else on the court was a senior, she left no confusion in her confidence with Aldridge.
"I thought Lauren [Aldridge] did a great job getting the ball inside the paint," Gardner said. "I think it's a lot easier having four seniors around her because it made her more comfortable having us around."
Kansas will compete in its first game of the regular season Nov. 16 against South Dakota.

Senate works to give parents priority enrollment
Diana and her son.
GEORGE MILLINIX/KANSAN
Kariss McNeal is a parent to her 7-year-old son Micah and a full-time student at the University. Student Senate is working on an initiative to allow parents priority enrollment.
MIRANDA DAVIS
@MirandaDavisUDK
Kariss McNeal can't take an 8 a.m. class. It's not because she can't get out of bed in the morning, but because she's taking her son to school during that time. There's no way she could ever be in a classroom at the University that early in the morning.
McNeal, an Army veteran from Houston, Texas, is in her first year at the University after completing an associate's degree at Kansas City Kansas Community College. She's considered a non-traditional student for several reasons, including being a parent to her 7-year-old son, Micah.
For many students who are also parents, scheduling can be difficult. When McNeal enrolled last April for the current semester, she had to strategically plan classes for times when her son is at school, which she was luckily able to do. McNeal has also mapped out her next several semesters, but isn't sure yet if she will be able to get into those classes.
"Hopefully the classes aren't full and things like that whenever it's my time to register," McNeal said.
McNeal said she has to stay on track with classes, or her GI Bill funding will run out before she finishes school.
+
Student Senate has been working on priority enrollment for parents like McNeal since October. Parents would become one of the first groups to enroll every semester among honors students. The purpose of the initiative is to ease the heavier scheduling concerns, that most traditional students at the University don't
have to consider.
Morgan Said, a senior from Kansas City, Mo., and student body president, said she wants to ease the scheduling for students who are parents, hopefully as soon as the next enrollment period for spring 2015 classes, if efforts are successful.
"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 earlier this semester.
McNeal is a single parent studying American Studies and English, and a resident at Stouffer Place Apartments. She said she would like to return to the Army after she graduates, potentially in a civilian capacity where she would handle human resources for those currently serving.
One of her passions is helping active soldiers. McNeal was in the military for more than 10 years, with a break to have her son. She left in 2012 and enrolled at KCK Community College.
Her son attends Boys and Girls Club after school, something McNeal said is crucial to her success. Once she gets out of class for the day, she spends the time her son is there doing homework, running errands
A typical day begins with McNeal and her son waking up at 7 a.m., eating breakfast and getting ready for school and classes. They head out the door a little after 8 a.m. so McNeal can drive her son to school. She comes back to her apartment and gets on the bus to go to class.
After she picks her son up from Boys and Girls Club, they eat dinner and work on Micah's homework. Usually they will hang out until his bedtime, around 8 p.m., then McNeal is able to watch some TV or read a book before bed.
"If he wasn't doing [Boys and Girls Club]. I have no idea when I would be able to study and get other stuff done," McNeal said.
and making dinner.
weekends for her son, when they read, play video games and go on walks, and her boyfriend, who visits on the weekends from Leavenworth.
She said she tries to knock out most of her homework before her son comes home for the day. She reserves
While most days she is able to handle everything on her plate, McNeal said being a student and a parent can be draining at times.
She spoke excitedly about her son's upcoming eighth birthday, in December.
"It gets frustrating sometimes, I feel like I'm so tired from doing all of my

ROTC students participate in first Veterans Day Run
Starting at Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center, the route follows Naismith Drive to the Jayhawk Bookstore, around the Chi Omega Fountain, past the war memorials, along Jayhawk Boulevard, past the residence halls on Daisy Hill and back to the Rec Center.
"The idea behind [the route] is we want to go through Memorial Drive to show respect to the veterans, run on Jayhawk Boulevard because this is our school and we want to run on Daisy Hill to run through the Jayhawk community," said Air Force ROTC Physical Training Leader Sebastian Thomas.
If you saw 200 ROTC students running through campus this morning, you witnessed the first Veterans Day Run. Leaders from each of the ROTC branches coordinated the event to promote awareness of Veterans Day while also building camaraderie between branches.
KELSI KIRWIN
@knkirwinUDK
Despite the distance,
"For one, I'm not a runner. However, I'm really looking forward to this," said Caitlin Longhofer, a student cadet in the Air Force. "It's a reminder that if I want something, I'm going to really have to work for it because there are millions of soldiers, airmen, sailors and marines who have worked much harder for much less before me. A three-mile run is something so small in comparison to the lives given for our great nation."
Don't Forget
Members from each of the three ROTC units were selected to perform a cadence, a song performed while running or marching in the running rhythm, while the rest of the members run through campus.
"They [the members] are singing a running song." Thomas said. "They [the songs] are funny, they're morale-boosting and some of them are sad. It's a pretty emotional experience for a lot of cadets."
members of the ROTC said they were excited to participate in the run.
"When you go on bases in Iraq and Afghanistan and even bases here in the U.S., you can find uniforms of every color," Thomas said. "It's a joint fight out there. There's Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines. We're all working together so we feel like it is important to emulate that here at KU, especially to show respect to those who have fought before us."
Everyone affiliated with ROTC, freshmen through
Fisher said in addition to reminding people of Veterans Day, the run will bring together the different branches of the University ROTC which typically do not spend a lot of time together.
"It [the run] is an opportunity for midshipmen and cadets to get out there and show pride in what we're doing," Fisher said. "It will also help remind everyone that what we do is part of a long line of history of those who served before us."

Cold week not indicative of harsh winter
Today's high is forecasted to be 38 degrees, a mere 11 degrees above yesterday's low of 27.
HALEY REGAN
@halevgracen
however, Shawn Byrne, a meteorologist from the National Weather Association in Topeka, said there is no need to be concerned about this winter just yet. He said there is no evidence this winter will be above or below normal, and said he believes a lot of the concern is stemming from last winter's
"A lot of it is probably just speculation. Right now, the climate prediction center is predicting an equal chance," Byrne said. "There is no clear signal within long-range patterns they're looking at."
"Cold weather is a fact of life, as you know," Young said. "We've spent almost 150 years making sure classes go on as scheduled."
Seeing as how the national weather service is not expressing any concern for the upcoming cold season, Gavin Young, who works for the office of Public Affairs, also seemed unconcerned about the change of weather
record-breaking low temperatures.
Although the forecast for the rest of the winter months is still unpredictable, Byrne did confirm this week will be on the cold side as a result of the recent typhoon east of the Philippines and south of Japan. The repercussions of the typhoon will cause a cold front to travel from Alaska down into the continental U.S.
According to weather.com,
Typhoon Nuri occurred Sunday and is now causing temperatures in the lower 48 states to reach record-breaking lows later this week. Byrne said these temperatures are not a preview to what the rest of the season will be like.
"We're going to be cold for a week or so, and we'll see what the week after that brings." Byrne said.
As of recent, there is no real sign of a harshly cold winter. Byrne said there is an equal chance of higher temperatures and lower temperatures and precipitation.
"It's not uncommon for a cold snap to occur in November." Byrne said.
Byrne said there's no need for any concern beyond this week, and blames the comotion on last year's bitter winter.
"It seems as though there's a mixed bag of individuals that go one way or the other. For this coming week it's going to be below normal, just because of the anomalous situation that is the typhoon," Byrne said.

City to make high-speed Internet decision today
The Lawrence City Commission is in the process of reviewing Wicked Broadband, a fiber optics company similar to Google Fiber. On Sept. 9, owner Joshua Montgomery and his wife Kristie Adair proposed a $1 million loan guarantee in a city commission meeting in efforts to expand the fiber optics service to downtown and East Lawrence. According to Montgomery, a decision will be made today.
This has resulted in many privately owned broadband companies to create fiber optics similar to Google Fiber, such as Wicked Broadband in Lawrence. Wicked Broadband, according to Montgomery, is, "Lawrence's own flavor of Google Fiber."
Montgomery said with faster broadband, there's a good possibility to see GDP growth in Lawrence. He said by facilitating GDP growth, "We enable companies to hire more KU graduates. GDP growth will result in higher wages and more opportunities for entrepreneurship."
Although only 40 miles outside of Kansas City, Lawrence is far enough away to not reach Google's efforts in implementing Google Fiber, a broadband service that Google claims to be 100 times faster than basic broadband.
Montgomery also said GDP growth may occur due to faster Internet services that would enable small business owners to be more innovative and do new things that they could not do with a slower Internet service.
"This is a hostile environment for business here in Lawrence because of the less-than-ideal Internet connection."
Searching for a faster option, Brown heard about the fiber optic service available in Lawrence and had Wicked Broadband installed in his offices. He said he can now upload 50 GB of data to the servers in his office. Brown said this is about three to five wedding shoots.
DUSTIN BROWN
Owner of TriArctic Photography
Dustin Brown, a 2003 University graduate and owner of TriArctic Photography, a wedding photography company, is one Lawrence resident who has chosen to implement fiber optics into his business. In June, Brown decided to expand his company and launched PrimeEdits, a photo editing service for professional photographers.
Despite the benefits business owners like Brown have seen, controversy has risen over whether economic benefits are indeed a reality for Lawrence with the expansion of a fiber optics service.
"I knew I had to start looking at other options to increase that value," he said.
During his time as a visiting professor in economics at the University in 2005, Peter Orazem wrote the research
At the time, Brown used a different broadband service, and purchased their fastest Internet for his editing purposes. However, he shortly found that uploading one wedding would take six hours.
However, Orazem said the study found the most economic growth was in less densely populated regions, like rural areas. He also said it did not determine if "previous economic growth led to high-speed Internet or if gaining access to high-speed Internet led to the economic growth."
report "The Impact of High-Speed Internet Access on Local Economic Growth." The report showed a "modest impact on having access to high-speed Internet [on economic growth]."
The ACLU filed a federal lawsuit last month for two lesbian couples challenging the state's gay-marriage ban. It resulted in the lower-court order.
In Cedar Falls, Iowa — about 100 miles outside of Ames, Iowa, where Orazem resides — fiber optics service was implemented similar to Wicked Broadband in Lawrence, Ora-
Equality Kansas Executive Director Tom Witt said Sotomayer could quickly reconsider once she receives the response.

But Sotomayer also directed the American Civil Liberties Union to file a response to Schmidt's request by 4 p.m. Central time Tuesday.
Sotomayor's brief order Monday puts on hold indefinitely a lower-court order clearing the way for same-sex couples to marry despite a ban in Kansas on gay marriage.
Despite this, some small business owners such as Brown still feel that expanding a fiber optics service is crucial in Lawrence.
"Despite the service, overall employment growth in Ames is growing faster than in Cedar Falls," he said.
TOPEKA U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor has issued an order temporarily blocking gay marriage in Kansas.
"This is a hostile environment for business here in Lawrence because of the lesshan-ideal Internet connection," he said. "In my mind, it's all about innovation. You won't be able to come up with new ideas if you have no way to implement it. My editing business is a result of high-speed Internet."
The lower-court order was set to take effect at 5 p.m. Central time Tuesday. Sotomayor acted at the request of Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt.

Women in science, math majors try to increase their numbers
Technology and engineering fields make effort, too
CHANDLER BOESE
@Chandler_Boeese
The natural sciences and mathematics, housed in the College of Liberal Arts and Science, has a tenured and tenure-track faculty. 22 percent of which are women.
From undergraduates to tenured professors, the University is lacking in the number of females engaged in the STEM fields. As of last fall, 14 percent of tenured or tenure-track faculty in the School of Engineering were female, according to the Office of Institutional Research and Planning.
To combat the underrepresentation of women in the University's STEM fields (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), different organizations and programs within the University are making efforts to bring more women into those programs and positions of leadership.
As for students, out of the 2,436 undergraduates enrolled in the School of Engineering this fall, there are less than 500 females — about 20 percent of the school, said Virginia Nichols, statistical and information officer at OIRP. For graduate students in the school, the numbers are slightly
Bozenna Pasik-Duncan, a professor in the mathematics department, is an activist for bringing women in leadership positions.
As for CLAS, the undergraduate division of Natural Sciences and Mathematics is 44.8 percent female, and graduate students are 38.7 percent female, Nichols said.
"At my level of career, I am deeply concerned about the lack of female distinguished professors in my field at KU or even no research awards for women," Pasik-Duncan said. "Men take those highest recognitions. This fact is discouraging and affects the whole community."
higher, with 25.8 percent of the students being women.
One solution advocated by female professors at the University is to increase the number of women in leadership roles in these fields. According to the faculty lists on the University's website, among the 14 departments and centers in the natural science and mathematics division of CLAS, only one has a female chair or director.
In 1987, while teaching at the University, Pasik-Duncan founded the international program Women in Control, which hosts annual conferences all over the world to discuss the issues facing women in the STEM fields. In leading the 2015 conference, which will take place in Paris next July, she is making an effort to bring women into leadership roles.
Kristin Bowman-James, a professor in the chemistry department, said during her time as chair of the chemistry department, four out of seven new hires were women.
"I started to think, 'Maybe there's a reason there's not so many [women] here. But then I started to look more into it and I thought, 'No, I can do this, it's going to be fine.'"
KATIE TINDELL Chemical engineering major
"This is not due to my wonderful proactive flair — but rather women looking for faculty positions see a woman chair and feel that the department would be welcoming to women," she said. Chemical engineering major Katie Tindell, a freshman from Basehor, said she agreed, saying that the lack of visible women in her field made her pause when choosing a major.
"I started to think, 'Maybe there's a reason there's not so many [women] here,'" "Tindell said. "But then I started to look more into it and I thought, 'No, I can do this, it's going to be fine.'"
Another suggested solution to close the gender gap is to encourage STEM education and enthusiasm among young girls. The School of Engineering holds a Eureka Weekend for
elementary students, said Florence Boldridge, director of diversity and women's programs. Participants get to experience some "fun" aspects of science and engineering at an elementary level.
Research that was published Oct. 22 by Donna Ginther, director of the Center for Economic and Business Analysis at the University, shows that working with high school students about mathematics might be the most effective way to help them succeed in the sciences.
But elementary-age students are not the only ones STEM organizations are trying to reach. The University's chapter of the Association for Women in Mathematics holds events like math relays at high schools during April, Mathematics Awareness Month. In addition to Eureka Weekend, Boldridge said the School of Engineering holds two "Weekends of Engineering," where high school girls can learn more about the University's engineering program.
Her research reported that when young women take advanced math courses in high school and go into a math-based science, like engineering or physics, they tend to be more successful than young women who don't take as much math in high school and go into life sciences, like biology. The latter group earns less PhDs and less of its members end up back in academia.

stuff that I don't really give him the patience, the effort, that he deserves," McNeal said.

A NURTURING ENVIRONMENT
McNeal said the University is a positive place for parents. She said she has her limits — she won't go hang out at a dorm to work on a group project — but will invite students over to work at her apartment instead. Many of her classmates, she said, don't even know she's a veteran or a parent.
She also said once professors learn more about her, they tend to be understanding about her time limitations. She said she is often in contact about small things, like doctor's appointments.
"I haven't run into any instructors who are just like, 'No.' " McNeal said.
She said she enjoys the University's environment and has never heard another student say anything negative about non-traditional students or single parents.
While she enjoys attending classes, she said she believes priority enrollment would help her and other parents at the university.
"Any little bit helps," McNeal said.
McNeal said while she loves her son, when she's in her classes, she doesn't always want to be known as a parent or even a veteran, and chooses not to bring her son to classes or advising appointments.
"I don't try to stand out as a parent," McNeal said. "It's not like I'm hiding it, I talk about it in some of my classes, but I think there might be a stigma associated with being a parent and I would rather just be known as being a student."

World War II veterans had an extreme impact on KU enrollment. There were just under 4,000 students enrolled in 1945. The numbers ballooned to just over 9,000 in 1946.

"It gives people the opportunity to get outside and it's something you can do as a family." Pollington said. "It shows that we are making an investment in Lawrence."
The rink cost roughly $80,000, but is expected to be open annually for several years to come, Gibbs said. It will be able to accommodate roughly 125 people at a time.
"We wanted to expand on the benefits of downtown," Gibbs said. "The way the system works is that we can use it well into the future and it's a one-time expense."
The rink is located in the Lawrence Public Library plaza on Vermont Street. It will be open evenings and weekends, as well as possible weekday activities like lessons or holiday events. Skate rentals will be $3 per person.

If we have pictures of the people tearing down the goal post shouldn't we make them pay for it?
To anyone complaining about roundabouts: don't go to Europe. They're all about that roundabout lifestyle.
The students who actually go to every game and sit in the front row didn't rush the field when we beat Iowa State. That should say a lot.
Am I graduating yet...?
Doesn't even feel like it's November with this weather.
I don't care what people say:
"interstellar" looks badass.
That fewer students are majoring in humanities is the best news I've heard all week.
Taking down the goal post isandalism, not celebration.
I really do need to go to bed earlier on the weekends... Not going to happen though.

Discussing sexual assault is step forward
The University of Kansas' greek community has received a lot of backlash in recent months for sexual assault. Studies indicate acts of sexual assault are more common in the greek community. However, it seems KU's Greek community is finally stepping up and educating its members about

spoke about resources and answered any questions students asked about sexual assault. For several, this was the first opportunity they had to learn about sexual violence. By speaking to greek chapters, classrooms and other groups on campus, these organizations can give our students a better understanding of assault and consent.
sexual assault, I was thrilled. Though it dealt with an uncomfortable subject, the video gave students hope that our campus organizations support students' safety and well-being.
The Metropolitan Organization to Counter Sexual Assault and the GaDuGi Safe Center recently spoke to greek members about sexual violence and informed consent. Both organizations gave definitions of consent,
These actions are needed in order to take steps toward
preventing sexual assault. and the Greek community is just the start. Organizations like GaDuGi need to speak to classrooms and other campus organizations to inform students about assault. Every person on this campus needs to be informed on sexual violence so that we can stop it.
After the uproar surrounding accusations of assault in the greek community earlier this semester, I figured Greek Life would try to sweep it under the rug. When a group of greek leaders formed a sexual assault task force, I didn't know what to expect. In the back of my head I wondered if the task force was just a ploy to get people off its back. When the task force released a video with members condemning

Construction should not interfere with lives of students
By Anissa Fritz
@anissafritzz
Recently it has appeared as though I cannot go anywhere on campus.
The construction in Lawrence causes several inconveniences for the student body that I have endured.
I have had to wake up earlier from my off-campus apartment to drive through the traffic on Iowa. Students must trudge around construction zones, which happen to be along the main stretch of Jayhawk Boulevard, to get to class. Trying to find parking spot on Daisy Hill has now become a constant game of "How lucky am I today?"
Construction on the new dorms during the early hours of the morning can also become
anywhere on campus, or even in the Lawrence area, without running into construction. From the construction on Iowa, 31st Street, Daisy Hill and Jayhawk Boulevard, men in hard hats and bulldozers seem nothing out of the ordinary.
an issue with the sleeping schedules of those who live on Daisy Hill. Current residents are woken up by the sound of beeping from construction vehicles, hammering and the constant sound of machinery.
Construction is part of living in a city; repairs need to be done and things need to be built. However, it seems to me as though our surroundings have been dominated too much by the constant construction and other miscellaneous projects going on in and out of campus. Because of this, the University, as well as the City of Lawrence, should complete one construction project at a time before moving on and starting the next.
Planning these projects at less intrusive times, like summer and winter break, will allow students to appreciate the growth of their community, but without the majority of the inconveniences we currently face.

ROTC students follow in parents' footsteps
MARIA SANCHEZ

When her father was first deployed, KaDedra Lea was in the sixth grade and remembers clearly what it felt like. She was told if anything happened to her father, the family would be notified no matter what. After that, with every car that drove past Lea's house, her heart dropped.

During her sophomore year, Cavalier joined ROTC. Lea joined her freshman year. Originally, Cavalier said she wanted to participate in ROTC to help convince
"We lived in a cul-de-sae." Lea said. "I had a room in the front of the house and so cars would just come to turn around. I remember being terrified of that."
Lea's father has been enlisted in the Army for 28 years and is currently stationed in Fort Leavenworth as a Command Sergeant Major. Cavalier's mother, Matilde, has been serving in the Army for almost 22 years and is stationed in Texas as a Chief Warrant Officer for logistics.
Jizelle Cavalier, right, poses with her mother, who is in uniform. Cavalier is just one student involved in ROTC who did so because growing up they had a parent serve in the armed forces.
Lea and her roommate, junior Jizelle Cavalier, are both in the Reserve Officer Training Corps for the Army and come from military families.
her parents to let her attend Kansas. However, once she began training, she realized she didn't just want to be a civilian — she wanted to carry on what her mother had been doing for years.
Cavalier was born in Fort Benning, Ga., but she has few memories of it as her family only lived there for three years. Lea was born in Memphis, Tenn., but her family traveled all over due to her father being in the service. Over the course of her life, Lea has never lived in one place more than five years.
"Since I've been a part of it for so long, it just feels right to continue doing it," Cavalier said. "It's what I know."
To Cavalier, Veterans Day means honoring those who have served, are serving or will in the future. She said knowing she will be able to make a difference also motivated her to continue training and to want to one day serve in the Army.

"Just honoring anyone who has any involvement with the army, that's what Veterans Day is."
"I liked the experience of moving to places," Cavalier said. "People who don't come from a military background
"I'm excited to put on the uniform and know that I am doing something for my country," she said.
Growing up with a parent in the Army, Lea and Cavalier both said the lifestyle was not easy. One of the most challenging experiences was moving so often. As Cavalier got older, it became harder to leave her friends behind, though she enjoyed the diversity of the people she met along the way.
don't get that opportunity."
"She was gone for two years,"
Through her experiences with frequent home changes, Lea is thankful for the ability to be social with anyone. She said if she hadn't adapted to making new friends everywhere she went, she would have been alone in these new places.
she said. "If I had, I wouldn't have known anyone." While Cavalier, her two brothers and her parents were able to stick together during most of her mother's years in service, there were times they weren't as fortunate. When their family first moved to Texas, her mother received a permanent change of station order for Korea. Her father didn't want to uproot the family to go overseas, so her mother went alone.
"I didn't have the option to be shy," she said. "If I had, I wouldn't have known anyone."
Cavalier said. "So it's hard to be away from her during those time periods."
Lea said although her father's absence was hard at times, she had nothing else to compare it to.
Despite the difficulties that come with serving, Lea's motivation in joining ROTC and wanting to serve in the Army rests on following the footsteps of her father, as well as her grandfather. Out of three daughters, Lea is the only one pursuing the service like her father.
"It was normal because I was born into it," she said. "At certain times it was hard. A lot of holidays my dad wasn't there due to deployments."
"My dad is honored by the fact that I want to become an officer." Lea said.
Lea plans on becoming a military police officer in the
Army following graduation. She said not only does she get to serve in this position but she also gets the opportunity to interact.
"You're really hands-on with the community. You get to know people," Lea said. "You really get to be involved and I like that."
Through Lea's experiences with her father, she said Veterans Day does not only mean honoring those serving. This day is also for families. She said growing up with a service member and the environment that comes with it takes a toll on the entire family.
"It's an emotional roller-coaster for us as well," Lea said. "So just honoring anyone who has any involvement with the Army, that's what Veterans Day is."
Swift swoops in to help industry, or herself

Though it's typical to introduce the newsworthiness of a story early on, it's essential to first reference old news — the dreary yet dated fact that the music industry is in decline. While there are countless business models being introduced, all that claim to be the solution the industry is looking for, none have truly stepped up to the plate.
Taylor Swift performs on the stage at Mercedes-Benz Arena on May 30 in Shanghai, China. Swift recently pulled all of her music from Spotify.

Album sales and track sales are still in the gutter. According to Nielsen Soundscan, album sales are down 14 percent and track sales are down 13 percent. On a far different end of the spectrum lie paid subscription sales, a service that is up a whopping 57 percent since last year, according to Nielsen Soundscan.
It's no secret Spotify has been growing at a steady pace, claiming to offer music to its users at an affordable price while still turning a profit for the artists. Spotify also knows the importance of appealing to a primary demographic of music consumers — students. As a result, the service offers a student discount, making its premium subscription available to students for half the normal price.
The service wants to appeal artists as well, and claims to pay 70 percent of its revenue back to the music community. The keyword being "community," an all-encompassing term which divides that 70 percent among the singers, songwriters, producers, publishers and more. Leaving no one entity with very much.
Several artists have spoken out against Spotify, such as Thom Yorke, frontman of Radiohead, who has called the service "the last dying fart of a desperate corpse." Though artists have been voicing concerns over
spotify's business model for quite some time, all it took was 5 feet and 10 inches of country-pop prowess to create a full-blown freak-out. Yes, that reference is to none other than Taylor Swift.
On campus last week, students expressed concerns for the text alert system the University has in place, citing its delayed timing in reporting on news when compared to social media. Similarly, considering Spotify launched in the U.S. in 2011, is this action from Swift simply coming too late?
Last week, Swift's music label Big Machine Music pulled her entire catalog from Spotify in one foul swoop. This drastic measure occurred the same week of the release of her latest album "1989" Coincidence?
In its first week of sales "1989" sold nearly 1.3 million copies, the first album of the year to break one million in its first week. Physical album sales have produced positive numbers as well, likely due to each album coming with one of five sets

of 13 exclusive Polaroid photos from Swift, a creative tactic to steer consumers away from digital and entice them towards a physical format instead.
a statement titled, "On Taylor Swift's Decision to Remove Her Music from Spotify" in response to the outburst of upsets. The statement said, "We love Taylor Swift, and our more than 40 million users love her even more... We hope she'll change her mind and join us in building a new music economy that works for everyone."
Spotify also added a parting thought, for good measure,
"PS — Taylor, we were both young when we first saw you,
but now there's more than 40 million of us who want you to stay, stay, stay. It's a love story, babv, just say, 'Yes.'"
However, following the path of how most of Swift's (several) love stories seem to go, she broke it off without hesitation and doesn't appear to be looking back. Perhaps Spotify will even be the inspiration behind her next
passive aggressive hit single.
passive aggressive hit single. Spotify may be right about one thing, though. Swift emerged in the industry at a young age, but she is all grown up now and proving she knows a thing or two not just about making music, but also making money. It's suspicious that following the release of her most promising album yet, Swift, or her label, made the carefully crafted decision to haul her catalog off Spotify.
Whether the act was executed with courage in efforts to make a statement against streaming, or if it was in support of Swift's rising sales, we may never know for certain. She does love to leave things open to interpretation, as if her collection of not-so-subtle breakup anthems wasn't indication enough.

Today's Cryptoquip Clue: M equals C
The exterior of Netflix headquarters is seen in Los Gatos, Calif. Internet providers shouldn't be allowed cut deals with online services like Netflix or YouTube to move their content faster, and should be regulated more like phone companies, President Barack Obama said Monday in an announcement that was swiftly rejected by industry.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NETFLIX
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama on Monday embraced a radical change in how the government treats Internet service, coming down on the side of consumer activists who fear slower download speeds and higher costs but angering Republicans and the nation's cable giants who say the plan would kill jobs.
President Obama calls for tougher Internet regulation
Obama called on the Federal Communications Commission to more heavily regulate Internet providers and treat broadband much as it would any other public utility. He said the FCC should explicitly prohibit Internet providers like Verizon and AT&T from charging data hogs like Netflix extra to move their content more quickly. The announcement sent cable stocks tumbling.
WASHINGTON
The FCC, an independent regulatory body led by political appointees, is nearing a decision on whether broadband providers should be allowed to cut deals with the content providers but is stumbling over the legal complexities.
Red Lyon Tavern
785.832.8228
944 Massachusetts Street
Consumer groups and content providers hailed Obama's move, with Netflix posting to its Facebook page that "consumers should pick winners and losers on the Internet, not broadband gatekeepers."
"We are stunned the president would abandon the longstanding, bipartisan policy of lightly regulating the Internet and calling for extreme" regulation, said Michael Powell, president and CEO of the National Cable and Telecommunications Association, the primary lobbying arm of the cable industry, which supplies much of the nation's Internet access.
This "tectonic shift in national policy, should it be adopted, would create devastating results," added Powell, who chaired the FCC during the Bush administration until 2005.
"Net neutrality" is the idea that Internet service providers shouldn't block, slow or manipulate data moving across its networks. As long as content isn't against the law, such as child pornography or pirated music, a file or video posted on one site will load generally at the same speed as a similarly sized file or video on another site.
In 2010, the FCC embraced
the concept in a rule. But last January, a federal appeals court struck down the regulation because the court said the FCC didn't technically have the legal authority to tell broadband providers how to manage their networks.
The Internet Association, which represents many content providers like Netflix, Twitter, eBay and Google, applauded Obama's proposal.
The uncertainty has prompted the public to file some 3.7 million comments with the FCC more than double the number filed after Janet Jackson's infamous wardrobe malfunction at the 2004 Super Bowl.
On Monday, as the Standard & Poor's 500 index edged up slightly, big cable companies slid. Time Warner Cable, Comcast, Cablevision and Charter Communications
This approach is exactly what industry lobbyists have spent months fighting against. While Internet providers say they support the concept of an open Internet they want flexibility to think up new ways to package and sell Internet services. And, given the billions of dollars spent to improve network
On Monday, Obama waded into the fray and gave a major boost to Internet activists by saying the FCC should explicitly ban any "paid prioritization" on the Internet. Obama also suggested the FCC reclassify consumer broadband as a public utility under the 1934 Communications Act. That would mean the Internet would be regulated more heavily in the way phone service is.
"It is common sense that the same philosophy should guide any service that is based on the transmission of information — whether a phone call, or a packet of data," Obama said.
dropped 2 percent to 4 percent in the hours immediately after the announcement.
The president's statement all but guarantees that the major cable companies will spend the next few months trying to encourage Congress to step in to protect their interests. Still, Internet activists are hoping that Obama's position will go a long way, even as his popularity among his party has waned.
PUC Chairman Tom Wheeler, a former industry lobbyist and venture capitalist, has said he is open to using a "hybrid" approach that would draw from both Title II of the 1934 law and the 1996 Telecommunications Act. On Monday, Wheeler said he welcomed the president's comments, but suggested his proposal was easier said than done.
infrastructure, some officials say it's only fair to make data hogs like Netflix bear some of the costs of handling heavy traffic.
"The more deeply we examined the issues around the various legal options, the more it has become plain that there is more work to do," Wheeler said. "The reclassification and hybrid approaches before us raise substantive legal questions. We found we would need more time to examine these to ensure that whatever approach is taken, it can withstand any legal challenges it may face."
ManyRepublicans including House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky sided with industry in denouncing the plan as government overreach. "Net Neutrality' is Obamacare for the Internet," declared Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, a tea party favorite, on Twitter. "The Internet should not operate at the speed of government."
AT&T on Monday threatened legal action if the FCC adopted Obama's plan, while Comcast Corp. said reclassifying broadband regulation would be "a radical reversal that would harm investment and innovation, as today's immediate stock market reaction demonstrates." Similar statements were released by Time Warner Cable Inc. and several industry groups including CTIA-The Wireless Association, USTelecom, the Telecommunications Industry Association and Broadband for America.
The FCC isn't under a deadline to make a decision.
"When the leader of the free world says the Internet should remain free, that's a game changer," said Sen. Edward Markey, D-Mass.

Bowen refuses to take full credit for first win
FAIRWOOD
ISHANE JACKSON
@iacksonshane3
Kansas coach Clint Bowen runs onto the field with his players before the game against Iowa State on Nov. 8 in Lawrence. Bowen led the Jayhawks to their first conference win this season
IAMES HOYT/KANSAN
The latest edition of interim head coach Clint Bowen's weekly Big 12 teleconference Monday was a bit different than previous ones. For the first time since being named interim head coach, Bowen and the Jayhawks are coming off a win.
Kansas chalked up over 500 yards of total offense for the first time since September 2011 en route to a convincing 34-14 victory against Iowa State. The win was Bowen's first in his new position, and likely gave him a realistic shot to remove the interim tag for next year.
But as he does best, Bowen deflects any credit.
"I had tremendous help along the way," Bowen said. "There are so many people in this program that bend over backwards to help. We all work extremely hard, all the coaches, everyone. It was a true program win."
Bowen may have had a lot of help, but it is evident Kansas football has shown new life under the direction of his leadership. Bowen has brought the much-needed energy this program has so desperately sought.
From leading the team onto the field to running sprints with this team in practice, Bowen had put his heart and soul into this program in just a few short months.
That's why following the 34-14 win Saturday, Bowen received an ice-cold Gatorade bath, after which senior linebacker Ben Heeney presented Bowen with the game ball.
But Bowen says players like Heeney are why it's easy to put in the work he does.
their mood is going to be that day they just keep fighting back." Bowen said. "They are a resilient group of young men. If you ever did want to quit, they wouldn't let you."
"No matter what you think
Bowen was soaked with Gatorade, the fans rushed the field and the goal post was taken down as the Jayhawks moved up from last place in
the conference. Bowen has brought life back to Kansas football.
If Kansas continues to play like it did Saturday, the day Kansas wins more games may not be that far off.
"I hope we get to win enough games, that's what we expect to do." Bowen said.
NEWS AND NOTES
— Kansas will host TCU in its final home game of the season Saturday. The Horned Frogs are currently a 28-point favorite.
— Kansas was given its first 11 a.m. kickoff of the season. On Saturday, Nov. 22, the Jayhawks will travel to Norman, Okla., to take on the
Oklahoma Sooners.
Senior defensive lineman Keon Stowers was not in uniform after suffering a neck injury at Baylor and was listed as day-to-day leading up to Iowa State. No further update has been given.

Commentary: Lauren Hill granted a special wish Sunday

What occurred in Cincinnati at Xavier University in the Cintas Center was one of those tear-jerking sports stories that made life take on a new meaning. Before today, my only connection to the Cintas Center was my high school graduation in 2011, until one amazing young lady, Lauren Hill, made her debut.
Lauren Hill, left, smiles at Pat Summit after receiving the Pat Summitt Award during her first NCAA basketball game against Hiram University at Xavier University in Cincinnati on Sunday. The NCAA allowed Mount St. Joseph's season opener to be moved up, so Hirc could play in a college game.
Hill turned the Cintas Center into a magical basketball arena unlike one the world had ever witnessed. She was diagnosed with an inoperable form of brain cancer called Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glia this past September. Doctors have told her she has only a few weeks left to live, and she would be lucky to make it past mid-December.

If you make it, you challenge someone else and if you fail, you donate $10 to The Cure Starts Now Foundation.
Hill has captured attention around the country for her courage and spirit. Her story made national news on Sunday to the likes of ESPN's Sports Center, Foxsports.com, The New York Times and many other national news outlets.

Big 12 power rankings: TCU, Baylor, K-State pull away
STELLA LIANG
@stelly_liang
There is never a dull weekend in the Big 12. After Kansas State's loss to TCU on Saturday, there are no more undefeated teams in conference play. Kansas' victory against Iowa State leaves the Cyclones as the only team without a conference victory.
The other results from this weekend were eye-catching as Oklahoma continued its tumble while unpredictable West Virginia lost to Texas.
TCU, Baylor and K-State have separated themselves from the rest of the pack. They each have one conference loss and are the only teams from the Big 12 ranked in the Associated Press poll.
POWER RANKINGS
1. No. 5 TCU 8-1 (5-1 Big 12)
Last time out: Won vs.
K-State 41-20
In the matchup of the week, TCU easily took care of K-State. Quarterback Trevone Boykin was effective both through the air and on the ground, scoring a total of four touchdowns.
As part of the three-way tie for first place with Baylor and K-State, TCU gets the edge in schedule for the last three games of the regular season. TCU has remaining matchups with Kansas, Texas and Iowa State, none of which have winning records, although Texas has a 4-3 conference record.

in the second quarter, Baylor trailed 3-14 before scoring the next 45 points. The running corps notched five touchdowns to lead the Bears to their first-ever road victory against the Sooners. After losing to West Virginia three weeks ago, Baylor has looked nothing but dominant.

One strength of the Wildcat team is its rushing defense, but it allowed TCU to run for 334 yards and four touchdowns. According to ESPN Stats, it is the most rushing yards allowed by K-State since 2012 against Baylor.
When trying to make a comeback bid in the third quarter, K-State just couldn't stop TCU from scoring. K-State relinquished its sole place on top of the standings with the loss. Still on the schedule are road games with West Virginia and a showdown with Baylor.

The team that was once the
one to beat has faded into oblivion. How often can that be said about a Sooner team? To be fair, each of its losses has been to one of the top three teams in the conference. To be frank, to prove itself as a contender, it needed to win at least one of those games.
To make it worse, after the first quarter against Baylor, Oklahoma didn't put up a fight. After throwing for two early touchdowns, quarterback Trevor Knight was ineffective and also suffered an injury that took him out of the game for good in the fourth quarter. This is the first year Oklahoma has lost two home conference games in 16 years under coach Bob Stoops. The Sooners do have a favorable remaining schedule.

Don't look now, but the Longhorns are one win away from becoming bowl-eligible. Written off by many earlier in the season — the first under coach Charlie Strong — Texas has won two in a row.
The Longhorns controlled the game against West Virginia and kept the Mountaineers from scoring a touchdown until the fourth quarter. Heading into the last period, Texas was leading 24-3. Running back Jonathan Gray did much of the damage with 101 rushing yards and three touchdowns.
Next up: at Oklahoma State
7. West Virginia 6-4 (4-3)
Last time out: Lost at Texas

Once the dark horse of the conference, West Virginia looks like it might be headed to a late-season slide. They have lost two straight for the
first time this season and have K-State coming up next, which could easily turn the slide into three.
Quarterback Clint Trickett had no touchdowns and threw one interception. The Big 12 leader in receptions per game, Kevin White, caught a school-record 16 passes for 132 yards but did not catch a touchdown.

Somebody had to win the matchup of last-place teams, but the Jayhawks defeated the Cyclones thoroughly. It was only Kansas' second Big 12 victory in four years.
The Jayhawk offense was efficient in all facets. Quarterback Michael Cummings completed 24 of 40 passes for 278 yards and a touchdown. Running backs Corey Avery and Tony Pierson each scored a touchdown. The remaining schedule is unfavorable for the
Jayhawks as matchups with TCU and K-State loom.

Last time out: Lost vs. Kansas 14-34
Having the title of only winless team in conference play is a dubious one. With its best chance for a victory coming against Kansas, the offense was listless and the defense didn't stop much of anything. Iowa State's next game in two weeks against Texas Tech might be its last realistic chance at a victory.

How many players will coach Bill Self play?
AT A GLANCE
Cliff Alexander
Alexander had an impressive showing against Washburn, where the freshman was Kansas' leading scorer (14) and leading rebounder (9). Before coming to Kansas, Alexander was known for his knack for rebounding and his aggressiveness in the paint. Alexander showed both of those skills while grabbing four offensive rebounds, all of which resulted in a score.
Kansas is still in exhibition mode, which means the Jayhawks aren't at their peak of competition. Coach Self said the Jayhawks can't run all the plays they want because the team isn't where they need to be. Self did mention the plays the team has practiced are the "meat and potatoes" of the offensive gameplan. The Jayhawks are 69-3 all time in exhibition games, and Kansas is coming off an 85-53 win against Washburn University.
QUESTION MARKS
Against Washburn, coach Self played all 15 players on the roster because of the lopsided score. Before the score got out of hand, Self rotated 12 players. At one time, Self had Seldon at point guard, freshman guard Swiatoslav Mykhailiuk at shooting guard and freshman guard Kelly Oubre Jr. at swing forward. Without a third point guard, Self will rely on one of those three to take control of the ball while Frank Mason or Devonte' Graham are off the court.

PLAYER TO WATCH
BY THE NUMBERS
117 This season is the 117th season of basketball at the University of Kansas.
Kansas holds Emporia State to under 50 points. Kansas held Washburn to 13 points in the first half, but allowed the Ichabods to score 40 second-half points. Baby Jay love it if Kansas can hold Emporia State to under 25 points each half.
212
If Kansas sells out tonight, Kansas will have 212 consecutive sell outs since 2012.
1,271
Among the 10 returning Kansas players 1,271 points were scored last season.

No.8 KANSAS (0-0)
STARTERS
PETER ROSENBERG
Frank Mason, Sophomore, Guard
Frank Mason, Sophomore; guard
Kansas will feature another two point guard set against Emperor State — the same lineup the Jayhawks had against Washburn. Mason has good ball-handler skills, but he doesn't run the offense well. Coach Bill Chell the way Mason played against Washburn — scoring 13 points and a team-high seven assists.
★★★★☆
SAFARI MOHAMMED ABDULRAFAZ
Devonte' Graham, Freshman, Guard
Devonte' Graham, Freshman. Guard Graham had a strong premiere in Allen Fieldhouse against Washburn. Graham played 23 minutes, scored seven points and dished three assists. Graham was more of a floor general compared to Mason. Graham was looking to pass first, and his 60 percent field-goal percentage shows it.
★★★★☆
JOHN E. HUNT
Wavne Selden Jr., Sophomore, Guard
Wayne Selden Jr., Sophomore, Guard Selden is the vocal leader of this young Kansas team. Even though Selden is one of the underclassmen, he leads similar to a senior. In the season opener, Selden scored five points in 17 minutes, but he shot three 3-pointers, which was too many, according to coach Self.
☆☆☆☆
EMPORIA STATE (0-0)
N. BERLIN
STARTERS
Jamari Traylor, Jupiter, Forward
Traylor made his first start of his career against Washburn. He played the least amount of minutes (14) for a player in the starting lineup. Trayer's game hasn't expanded since last season, but he has honed what he does well. He recorded two offensive rebounds, one of which converted into a basket, and Traoyer plays defense well shown by his two blocks.
PETER TREVIN
ALEXANDER JONES
★★★★☆
Perry Ellis, Junior, Forward
Terrence Moore, Junior, Guard
The All-Big 12 preseason team member didn't have the best game against Washburn. Ellis scored nine points in 20 minutes, but his defense was a major problem. Ellis' defense was supposed to be improved. Ellis continued to get beat off the dribble and only grabbed one defensive rebound.
★★★☆☆
Terrence Moore, Junior, guard
One of only two returning starters, Moore appears primed to lead this young Hornets squad in their 2014-15 season. Last year, the junior was an honorable mention AII-MIAA selection, averaging 17.6 points and four rebounds per game. He's also stellar on defense, garnering MIAA All-Defensive honors while leading the conference with 76 steals last season.
Jamari Traylor, Junior, Forward
Tyler Jordan, Sophomore, Guard
Swank is the other Hornet who saw significant minutes as a starter last season. As a sophomore, he contributed an average of three points to an Emporia State team that finished ninth in the conference in points per game. His biggest strength lies behind the arc, where he shot a respectable 33 percent last year.

Though not a starter, Jordan appeared in all 31 of Emporia State's games in 2013-14. In 16.8 minutes of action, he averaged 3.4 points and 2.2 rebounds per game. He struggled shooting the ball at times, finishing last among all Hornets with a lackluster 32 percent field-goal percentage.

Josh Pedersen, Sophomore, Forward
Josh Pedersen, Sophomore, forward
The 6-foot-7 sophomore averaged 12.9 minutes and 3.4 points per game in 28 contests last season. His best game came in mid-December against Newman University, in which he recorded 12 points and three rebounds. He is Emporia State's most capable shooter from the free-throw line, hitting 37-of-41 attempts (.902) from the charity stripe in 2013-14.
★ ☆ ☆ ☆
A. K. Nsasa
McWisdom Badejo, Junior, Center
Badejo is the Hornets tallest player on the roster at 6 feet 10 inches and will be their best chance at establishing any type of presence in the paint.

He contributed 2.6 points and 1.7 rebounds per contest while leading all Hornets with a .683 field-goal percentage.

KYLE PAPPAS
@KylePap
AT A GLANCE
After a 2013-14 campaign that saw it finish the year at 18-13, the MIAA presseason coaches poll has Emporia State pegged to finish eighth out of 14 teams in the conference this season. The Hornets' strong suit lies on the defense where they gave up only 74.1 points per game last season — good enough for fifth-best in the conference. In its first game of the 2014-15 season, Emporia State will attempt to find a new identity after losing three starters to graduation, including last year's MIAA Defensive Player of the Year, Paul Bunch. Last time the Hornets entered Allen Fieldhouse in November 2012, they were crushed by Kansas, 54-88.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Terrence Moore
With three seniors departed from last year's bunch, Moore will be looked to for leadership on the Hornets' underclassman-heavy squad. He was the team's second-leading scorer last season and began to come into his own late in the year, averaging 22.3 points over Emporia State's final nine games. He's the lone returning All-MIAA performer from 2013-14, and serves as the Hornets most skilled player on both offense and defense. If Emporia State wants to avoid the expected blowout, it'll need a huge game from Moore.
QUESTION MARKS
Can the Hornets keep it close?
Of Emporia State's 13 regular-season losses last season, only five were by 10 or more points. That was a stark contrast to its two games against major Division I competition, though. The Hornets lost by 36 points to Oklahoma State and then by 42 points to Wichita State eight days later. With three new faces set to enter the rotation this year, it'll be difficult for the Hornets to get much going in their first game of the season — in Allen Fieldhouse, nonetheless. With an inexperienced, newcomer-laden squad, it'll be a surprise if Emporia State isn't well out of reach by halftime.
Prediction: Kansas 85, Emporia St.47
BY THE NUMBERS
38.1
Points per game lost to last year's senior class.
.430
Opponent field-goal percentage, second-best in the MIAA last season.

The number of times that the Hornets scored 85-plus points in a game last season.
BABY JAY WILL CRY IF
The Hornets have an unbelievable game from behind the arc. With the Jawhacks' big-bodied post players guarding the paint, Emporia State is likely to turn to its 3-point and perimeter shooting to get its offense going. Shooting from deep wasn't a strength of the Hornets last season — their .737 shooting percentage was second-worst in their conference. *Edited by Ben Carroll*

THE DAILY DEBATE
?
Should fans have rushed the field after Saturday's win?
By Miranda Davis
@MirandaDavisUDK
"YES"
The Kansas football team and its fan base had a lot to celebrate
Saturday after the team's first Big 12 win of the season against Iowa State. The Jayhawks played a great game of football and won, two things fans of the program haven't seen consistently since the Mark Mangino era ended in 2009.
It felt as if there was life inside Memorial Stadium on Saturday for one of the first times in many students' memories. Once the Jayhawks secured the win, students rushed the field, taking with them one of the goal posts before throwing it into Potter Lake.
Yes, the Jayhawks defeated a team with the same record, essentially putting themselves at a ninth place finish in the Big 12 instead of 10th. Incredible plays will never be shown on SportsCenter and life will go
on. But for those watching Saturday's game, this win felt like something to remember.
A Big 12 win, by an interim coach, after four years of Kansas football that can be best described as disappointing, was close to a miracle. Within the confines of Lawrence and this fan base, we have to judge Kansas football by its own standard, not by the rest of college football.
So while many people may think tearing down the goal post was embarrassing, and those people aren't completely wrong, the point is: it doesn't matter.
Kansas football fans have seen few glimpses of hope during the past two regimes. Interim coach Clint Bowen now has as many Big 12 wins as Turner Gill and Charlie Weis. These fans aren't judging their team by how it compares to the national landscape of college football — we lost that battle long ago. They are taking it game by game, and Saturday, this football team had a good game.
More important than the fact that fans had something to celebrate is the simple notion that there are still fans who want to celebrate. Students rushed the field and pulled down a goal post. People may make fun of that, but considering the past five years of football those fans have been watching, didn't they deserve a celebration? There's something to be said that after all of the disappointment, people still cared enough to attend the game and run onto Kivisto Field.
On Monday's Big 12 conference call, Bowen said hed like to see the program be at a place where students don't feel the need to do that, and that would certainly be nice, but it wasn't where the program was Saturday. So the students rushed the field, and the rest of the world may have mocked them, but the fans carrying that goal post weren't listening. They were too busy enjoying the ride.

@derek skillett
"NO"
This argument is not intended to be Jayhawk fans who were enjoying themselves at Memorial Stadium on Saturday. Students who have suffered through years of unsuccessful Kansas football teams had every right to celebrate a 34-14 Big 12 conference victory against Iowa State.
That being said, the students should not have stormed the field and torn down the goal posts after Saturday's win. The Jayhawks defeated a 2-6 Iowa State team that has yet to win a conference game and has only achieved slightly more success than Kansas through the past couple of years, amassing a grand total of nine wins through the 2012 and 2013 seasons.
Rick Reilly, a sportswriter for ESPN, sent out a tweet Sunday
morning that is an ideal summary of the media's perception of Kansas students celebrating the win: "Hey Kansas fans: Tearing down the goal posts after beating Iowa State is like popping champagne after fixing the toaster. Stop it." While a fairly harsh tweet, the message is accurate. Defeating a 2-6 Iowa State team hardly warrants tearing down the goal posts.
So, when is it acceptable to storm the field/court? Some of the arguments say if an unranked team defeats a highly-ranked opponent, or if a team defeats a bitter rival.
There are a couple examples of when it is acceptable, like in the 2013 Iron Bowl, when Auburn University shocked the University of Alabama in a thrilling 34-28 home win. With that win, Auburn clinched a spot in the SEC Championship Game for the first time since 2010. Auburn also got a big win against a bitter rival.
Another example of an
acceptable field/court storming comes from a 2011 college basketball game. The unranked Indiana Hoosiers defeated the top-ranked Kentucky Wildcats on a buzzer-beating 3-pointer, sparking a massive court-storming. This court-storming was acceptable because an unranked team (Indiana) defeated a top-ranked team (Kentucky).
It also isn't like the Jayhawks hadn't been in that situation before. On Nov 16, 2013, the Jayhawks defeated the West Virgina Mountaineers, who had previously held a record of 3-7, with two Big 12 wins. Kansas' 31-19 victory prompted a similar field-storming and goalpost removal. But that win snapped a 27-game Big 12 conference-losing streak.
Considering the recent state of Kansas football, the students had every right to celebrate. They just shouldn't have celebrated on the field or tossed the goal post into Potter Lake.
TCU, Baylor clear Big 12 front-runners for playoffs
Edited by Rob Pyatt
ASSOCIATED PRESS
West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen started preparing for Baylor when the Bears were coming off a wild comeback win over TCU.
Two weeks after that, he flipped the script and examined that game while prepping his Mountaineers to play the Horned Frogs.
Which one is better?
"I'd hate to have to choose between them, so good luck to the (playoff) committee," Holgorsen said Monday. "We've played a lot of good football teams, and those two are as good as I've seen. If they continue to win in the Big 12 and finish 11-1, then they should be in the top four. That's for certain."
No. 5 TCU and No. 6 Baylor (both 8-1 overall, 5-1 Big 12) are the clear front-runners if the Big 12 is going to grab one of the spots in the new fourteam playoff.
likely out of playoff contention with two losses overall after a 41-20 loss at TCU on Saturday.
Oklahoma is the only team that has played the Frogs, Bears and No. 13 Kansas State (7-2, 5-1), losing to all of the Big 12 co-leaders. The Wildcats are
Asked on the weekly Big 12 coaches teleconference which of those three teams was the best, Sooners coach Bob Stoops said he wouldn't offer an opinion on that. But he made reference to that Oct. 11 game in which TCU led by 21 points in the fourth quarter only to see Baylor rally for a 61-58 win on the final play.
"As you look at it right now, Baylor and TCU obviously are sitting at the top and they had a heck of a game that went down to the last seconds." Stoops said. "Again, that's for everyone else to decide."
two-touchdown loss there in its lowest-scoring game of the season.
Conference champions will be weighed heavily by the 12-member playoff selection committee for its final rankings Dec. 7. The Big 12 is the only power-five league without a championship game, but is the only one that plays a round-robin schedule.
When the playoff committee put out its first rankings two weeks ago, defending Big 12 champion Baylor was coming off an open date following the loss at West Virginia. TCU had won a pair of lopsided games since the setback in Waco, Texas, with an eye-catching 82 points against Texas Tech.
If Baylor and TCU both finish 11-1, the Bears would have the head-to-head victory. But the Frogs won 31-10 at West Virginia two weeks after Baylor's
C
mission w
"Our mission when we started this season was to try to repeat as Big 12 champions, and that's still our goal."
ART BRILES Baylor coach
TCU has been the highest-ranked Big 12 team in the playoff rankings, starting at No.7, six spots ahead of Baylor. That margin was unchanged last week when both were up one slot, after the Frogs' game-ending field goal at WVU and the Bears with an
expected lopsided win at home against Kansas.
In the new AP and coaches polls released Sunday, TCU was fifth and Baylor was up four spots to sixth after an impressive 48-14 victory at Oklahoma. Kansas State dropped to 13th in both, and will also surely slip in the new playoff rankings Tuesday night after seventh last week.
Baylor is off this week before playing Oklahoma State, Texas Tech and Kansas State, the finale at home.
"The only thing we can control is to try to win out, be
11-1 and have an opportunity to be (Big 12) co-champions," TCU coach Gary Patterson said. "Just how we play, and what the general public and the committee think about us when we get done ... we've just got to control our own destiny." TCU, after playing five ranked teams in a six-week span, has road games against Kansas and Texas before ending the regular season at home against Iowa State.
"Our mission when we started this season was to try to repeat as Big 12 champions, and that's still our goal," Baylor coach Art Briles said. "We're not going to get our vision and our hopes and aspirations caught into the vapor right now. The reality is we have to go win."

In case you missed it, Kansas defeated Iowa State on Saturday in football.
Both teams came into the contest with a 2-6 overall record and an 0-5 conference record.
The Jayhawks played a complete game, arguably for the first time all season, defeating the Cyclones 34-14.
After the clock hit 0,00,the student section stormed the field and celebrated at midfield with the players.
At that point, nothing was broken and everyone was high on emotions. Once the students charged the south goal post, things dramatically changed.
Season ticket holders went from cheering for the students to yelling at them, telling them to stop, saying their actions were stupid, among other things.
By Amie Just
@Amie Just
Kansas just defeated a team that was
now 2-7 and 0-6 in the Big 12 — nothing worth tearing down a goal post for — yet the students went for it anyway.
- yet the students went for it anyway. Central Michigan, a team Kansas defeated 24-10 back on Sept. 20 has a better record than Iowa State ... and Kansas for that matter. The Chippewas are 6-4. The students didn't rush the field and destroy University property then.
The last time the field was rushed was last season, when Kansas defeated
West Virginia 31-19.
That moment was monumental.
That moment was monumental. That was the first time Kansas won against a conference opponent since the Jayhawks defeated Colorado 52-45 in 2010. If Colorado is left out of the picture due to having left the conference for the Pac-12, the last time Kansas defeated a conference opponent that is still in the conference was back in 2009 when Kansas upended Iowa State 41-36.
But this time against Iowa State? An argument can be made that it was Clint Bowen's first win as interim head coach, but this wasn't like the West Virginia game. That game had historical implications. This one? It wasn't worth taking down the goal posts. The students should have waited, just like the students before. Tearing down the goal posts against West Virginia was satisfying.
Of course, tearing down goal posts has a financial cost and from the sounds of the season ticket holders who were at the game, they probably don't want to pay for the damage. Generally the school forks over the cost of that, but where does that money come from? Most likely, the students or the season ticket holders.
When Ole Miss defeated Alabama earlier in the season, the students rushed the field and took down both goal posts. That resulted in $25,000 in damages, with each goal post costing $11,000.
Tearing down the goal posts should be saved for a special moment, like breaking a streak or upsetting a ranked opponent. If Kansas were to somehow defeated TCU on Saturday, tearing down the goal posts won't be as special.

S
COMMENTARY Plenty to learn about basketball team tonight
By Christian Hardy
@HardyNFL
When the Kansas basketball team opened play last Monday, coach Bill Self and fans alike learned bits and pieces about a team that welcomes many fresh faces and new roles for almost the entire squad. Tonight, when the Jayhawks take on Emporia State University at Allen Fieldhouse to close out a two-game preseason slate, much of the same is expected.
Last game, the fans saw five-star recruit Cliff Alexander lajayhaws frontcourt that didn't seem to miss Joel Embiid. Sophomore guard Frank Mason produced a well-rounded stat-line and played leaps and bounds ahead of where he was last season. Fieldhouse gave freshman guard Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk a warm welcome and he knocked down a pair of 3-pointers to reward them.
5-pointers to reward them.
That was all against the NCAA Division II Washburn Ichabods. It will be much of the same against Emporia State. A big win, some learning points before Friday's regular season opener, but nothing etched into stone.
We'll start with junior forward Perry Ellis, who was preseason All-American candidate this season. He was lackluster against the Ichabods. Ellis simply didn't make his presence known. This is the guy who should be leading this team in 2014, but instead, he was only 2-for-6 from the floor and struggled on defense as well, especially on the pick-and-roll.
Self named Mykhaliuk the probable starter at shooting guard Monday. He'll be beside Mason and Wayne Selden Jr., who is serving as the team's third point guard. Mykhaliuk, a 17-year-old, has experience against much older players in his international role, and he's impressed Self at practice. Mykhaliuk and Mason have real chances to etch their names into Friday's starting lineup if they can perform well tonight.
Secondly, the Jayhawks need to find the guys they're going to roll with at the guard positions this year. On Monday, Self said there is no real separation among the six guards who could see significant minutes. While it's absurd to think this can be sorted out in the preseason, the process needs to take another step toward a decision tonight.
Additionally, it will be important to see if Alexander can have his way against Emporia State as he did with Washburn. Lastly, watch for Selden to get some run at point guard, as he did last game with Conner Frankamp departed.
Three of Ellis' shots carne from behind the arc. That's not what his role on this team is and it shouldn't be a recurring part of his game. He needs to take more shots off the dribble — where he thrives — and get more aggressive on both ends of the floor against Emporia State.
While tonight is just another exhibition, it will paint a clearer picture as the regular season quickly approaches.

If there is a way for a player on a Kansas team, which for much of the season craved offensive production, to quietly rush for a career-high 103 yards and a touchdown, Avery did it.
Buried beneath the overall effectiveness of the offense and defense Saturday was the play of running back Corey Avery.
But Avery is taking it all in stride.
"I feel very good about [the milestone]," Avery said. "I got loose today, on my way to my first 100-yard rushing game."
Perhaps the feat was relatively buried because the team has come to expect such production from its freshman. He has been one of the most consistent performers this season, leading the team with five touchdowns. Perhaps it's because he expects this from himself.
On Saturday, Avery was a big part of Kansas' controlling Iowa State in the first quarter. During the opening drive on a fourth and one after Kansas came out moving the ball effectively, Avery gained 12 yards for the first down.
He attributes his consistency to working hard and listening to his coaches.
Not even expected to play much before the season started, Avery and junior transfer DeAndre Mann were handed the keys to the rushing game when senior running backs Brandon Bourbon and Taylor Cox were lost for the season with injuries within days of each other.
"I just continue to work hard throughout practice," Avery said. "I continue to do what my coaches taught us to do, just able to stay focused."
Avery, a Dallas native, has not played with the nerves some freshmen show on the field. In his first game, against Southeast Missouri State, Avery rushed for 91 yards and a touchdown, H-
lost his first and only fumble on Oct. 18 at Texas Tech.
"I mean no [difference with Cummings in at quarterback] because in practice we rotate with all the quarterbacks," Avery said. "We do different linemen and different quarterbacks so we can be used to every quarterback and every running back with exchanges."
He has managed to keep a hold on the running game even though so many things have changed around him. In his young career, he has experienced a head coaching change and the recent switch of play-calling duties given to newly promoted co-offensive coordinator Eric Kiesau from John Reagan. Senior Tony Pierson has returned to the backfield; Mann has missed the last two games with an undisclosed injury. Junior Michael Cummings replaced sophomore Montell Cozart at quarterback.
Five plays later, Avery ran through the Iowa State defense for 14 yards and the touchdown. He ran around a cornerback and a safety for the score, the beginning of a 17-point Kansas first quarter.
"The first draw, our first possession, we needed a touchdown," Avery said. "They called the play ... I cut back, scored. [It was] big momentum for us."
Interim head coach Clint Bowen said Avery and the rest of the offense came out unbelievably to start the game.
"The players went out and made play after play converting
those third downs over and over, controlled the first quarter, controlled the early part of the game, were able to be effective throwing the ball and running the ball," Bowen said.
Coming out of high school, Avery was a four-star recruit, according to ESPN.com. In his senior year, he scored 22 touchdowns and rushed for over 1,600 yards. He had offers from seven other Big 12 schools, including Baylor and Texas.
this season with the ever-changing backfield, Kansas is happy Avery chose to become a Jayhawk.

Kansas closes preseason with Emporia State
BEN FELDERSTEIN
@Ben_Felderstein
KANSAS

The Jayhawks will conclude their preseason schedule tonight as they take on Emporia State in Allen Fieldhouse at 7 p.m. Kansas is coming off an easy victory against Washburn and will look to finish its preseason strong.
Kansas is 19-3 all-time against Emporia State, including nine straight victories. The series' first installment was in 1904, when the Jayhawks fell to the Hornets, 25-13.
Times are different now, as Kansas is ranked No. 5 in the nation and will look to improve its exhibition record to 65-10, and 33-2 under coach Bill Self. Kansas last faced Washburn in 2012 when Kansas cruised to an easy 88-54 victory. Junior forward Perry Ellis scored 15 points on 5-for-5 shooting from the floor.
Emporia State is coming off last season's sixth place finish in the Mid America Intercollegiate Athletics Association, with an 18-13 (10-9) record. The Hornets are returning two key starters in junior guards Terrence Moore and Micah Swank. Moore averaged 17.6 points and 4 rebounds per contest last season, while Swank scored 6.3 points per game.
Sophmore point guard Frank Mason maneuvers around the Washburn defense. Mason played 24 minutes in the matchup, more than anyone else on the Kansas team.
Similar to the game against Washburn, Kansas will have
a tremendous size advantage against Emporia State, as it only has one player over 6 feet 8 inches. Freshman Cliff Alexander will look to exploit this advantage again, as he was able to score with ease against the smaller Washburn forwards.
Self uses these preseason games to get everyone involved and ready for the season. It is a time for players to prove what they have for the upcoming season. Last game, Self started all returners with the exception of freshman Devonte' Graham.
"There weren't any factors that went into the starting lineup." Self said. "I wanted to get all returners in there. Brannen [Greene] had a rough defensive practice before the game so I threw Devonte' in there."
JAMES HOYT/KANSAN
There is no way to know what Self has planned for tipoff, but it is likely that there will be plenty of combinations.
"We have a lot of different lineup options," Self said. "We can play big with Wayne [Selden Jr.] at the point, and Cliff [Alexander] and Jamari [Traylor] at the four and five. We can also play small with three small guards and Wayne at the four."
Whichever combination Self has out there, it will likely be effective against a weaker Emporia State team with significantly less talent. Self and Kansas have one of the
deepest rosters they have had in years, and tonight's game will hopefully give spectators a bit more of a look into Self's plan for the rotation this season.
"They seem to have the
strength, the unselfishness,
and the thing that I saw this
year from them that maybe I
didn't see a couple years ago
is defensively." Washburn
coach Bob Chipman said. "I
think the depth is what you
Vo
talked about, that allows you to play at that special level on defense and just keep throwing guys in there and keep guys fresh."

COLORS OF CRIME
Clothesline Project raises awareness of domestic violence
LANE COFAS
@OttoVeatch
For the second year in a row, colorful T-shirts are strung up in The Underground's windows. The display is called the Clothesline Project, brought to the University by The Willow Domestic Violence Center of Lawrence, which hopes to raise awareness for survivors and victims of sexual and domestic violence.
"The Clothesline Project
of The Willow Domestic Violence Center is a powerful, visual display bearing witness to violence against women, men and children," said Kristine Chapman, director of community engagement at the Center. "It honors and gives expression to adult and child victims of violence."
The Clothesline Project forms as a way to make statistics more real and visual to the a college campus, where one in three college-aged women will experience abuse from a partner. Also, one in three women and one in seven men experience some form of domestic violence during their lifetime, Chapman said.
This project was created in 1990 to help domestic violence survivors heal, to
Chapman said the T-shirts represent males, females and children in Douglas County and also represent University students. Each colored T-shirt represents a different crime,
educate the public about violence in relationships,and "give voice, especially to those who traditionally have been silenced in our society" - women and children," Chapman said.
according to the Clothesline Project website.
Rachel Carey-Harper, a visual artist from Massachusetts, started the Clothesline Project to remember the large number of women who were killed during and after the Vietnam War due to sexual and domestic violence. This idea
came from when women used to exchange conversation with neighbors while hanging clothes on a line, according to the Clothesline Project website.
The Clothesline Project is used by many domestic violence centers across the U.S., and the Center is just one of the many centers with the display, Chapman said.
The T-shirts will be on display until mid-December.

Senate addresses crime alert system
MIRANDA DAVIS
@MirandaDavisUDK
Student Senate leadership met with University administrators and officials from the Office of Public Safety on Tuesday afternoon to discuss concerns with the individuals in charge of the University's alert system after last Wednesday's masked man incident.
Morgan Said, student body president, Miranda Wagner, student body vice president, and Garrett Farlow, chair of the student safety advisory board, met with officials to get questions answered and bring student input into the conversation.
Ralph Oliver, police chief for PSO, explained the police response for Wednesday's incident.
"We got notified that there was a person on campus who was in a mask who had gone into a lecture hall, made some kind of speech and left," Oliver said. "No threat to anybody in the room, or anything like that and left. So we dispatched an officer to that classroom to talk to that professor."
Oliver said the office doesn't put any information out before it fully understands what is going on with the situation.
According to Oliver, particular kinds of reports get an immediate response, along with an officer sent to the scene. If PSO gets a call about someone making a threat to students or displaying a weapon, it can activate the emergency response broadcast system.
Oliver said while PSO is dealing with the situation, it is also passing along that information to the Office of Public Affairs. Public Affairs then acts as the administration and may send out a text alert or a tweet from the University's official account.
Oliver said last Wednesday's incident didn't rise to the level of threat associated with the emergency response system.
Said said she was concerned about the lag time between the incident and the official University response, which concerned a lot of students.
"Policy doesn't always take peace of mind into consideration, and so my question is, when there are
things like this, where it maybe doesn't fit into this category of an 'imminent threat', but people are speaking about it in such a large scale manner, is there a different type of notification or warning that we can send out to the student body?" Said said.
Jack Martin, director of strategic communications in the Office of Public Affairs, said in the future, the office will err on the side of sending out alerts earlier. On the other hand, the office will still try to send out as few alerts as possible so students don't begin to ignore the messages, which is something that concerns the administration.
Said was concerned that even though it wasn't an imminent threat, many students took to social media and within minutes, the incident was getting a lot of attention.
Public safety officials encourage students to call PSO before they take to social media any time they feel unsafe or concerned about an individual on campus.
Both PSO and the University's administration said they are keeping watch on social media — they performed a safety sweep of Wescoe Hall after a post on Yik Yak, although this is not the most credible way to convey information about an active situation on campus.
Martin said he was unsure if they could send out a message without inciting more panic before the individuals were taken into custody. He said it's hard to make a judgment call in situations where there may not be an immediate threat to safety, but those on campus are still looking for an official response on a situation.
"One of the challenges that we face is those intermediate situations where its not 'the building's on fire, send an alert,' but people are talking about this, they'd like some information," Martin said.
"I, in the position I'm in, understand that we would have gotten something if there were a serious, serious threat, but the average student, walking down Wescoe beach, seemingly didn't feel as comfortable," Said said.
Said wanted to make sure students had a way of getting information about these types of situations in the future.

Lawrence nears Fair Trade certification
FISHER FINDER

@maegan_bull
Lawrence has met all the requirements to receive Fair Trade certification and will be the first town to receive the certification in Kansas after the city commission issues a proclamation supporting Fair Trade. The committee is just waiting for it to be added to the agenda. This certification will allow Lawrence to be added to the Fair Trade Campaign list.
Scott Stutler, general manager of Ten Thousand Villages in Lawrence, said the committee has already received confirmation from a couple of the commissioners of their support.
Artists sell fair trade goods on Wescoe Beach last year. Lawrence has met the requirements to be the first Kansas town to receive Fair Trade certification.
FRANK WEIRICH/KANSAN
The Fair Trade Campaign is a campaign dedicated to "recogniz[ing] towns, colleges, universities, schools and congregations in the U.S. for embedding Fair Trade practices and principles into policy, as well as the social and intellectual foundations of their communities," according to the Fair Trade Campaign website.
In order for a town to receive Fair Trade certification, it must meet certain requirements and form a Fair Trade committee, Stutler said.
"Lawrence had pretty much met all the requirements based on the fact that Lawrence is the town that it is," Stutler said. "It really supports the idea of fair trade."
ports the idea of fair trade." Based on Lawrence's population, there had to be 17 business that offered at least two Fair Trade items. Most towns that try to become Fair Trade certified have to convince businesses to sell Fair Trade goods, whereas
Lawrence had already met all the requirements, Stuttler said.
In 2006, Media, Penn., was the first community to receive Fair Trade certification. Since then, 34 more towns have been added to the list, with Alexandria, Va., being
the most recent.
According to its mission statement, Fair Trade Campaign's "commitment will inspire others to support the Fair Trade movement in its efforts to seek equity in trade and create opportunities for economically and socially marginalized producers. Fair Trade Towns, Colleges, Universities and other communities embed Fair Trade values and purchases into mainstream business and institutional practices."

IOA reports 65 sexual assault complaints this semester
MCKENNA HARFORD
@McKennaHarford
There have been 65 sexual assault complaints and 39 sexual harassment complaints reported to the Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access since the beginning of the year, as of Nov. 5.
The University defines harassment complaints as unwelcome behavior, including physical contact, comments and advances through intermediary devices, like a text or email, or in person. Assault complaints include stalking, sexual assault, sexual battery, domestic violence and dating violence.
OTHER UPDATES:
The KU Public Safety Office and the IOA office were informed of an incident of sexual battery that occurred
Sunday morning between 3:30 a.m. and 5 a.m. in Jayhawker Towers. According to Erinn Barcomb-Peterson, the director of news and media relations, no official report has been filed with either office or the police.
Kappa Sigma remains on suspension while the University continues investigations into alleged sexual assault reports from Sept. 28. The suspension could last through December, according to the letter sent to Kappa Sigma from Joshua Jones in the Student Conduct office.
John Harris Jossie and William Noah McCoy, a University student, were each charged with one count of felony rape after two women made reports to the KU Public Safety Office. Their preliminary hearings are set
CORRECTION
An article on Oct. 23 about a same-sex marriage debate at the Dole Institute of Politics in
correctly attributed a photo from the event to a Kansan reporter. The photo was contributed by the Dole Institute of Politics.
The University is currently one of 85 schools under federal investigation by the Office of Civil Rights. This means that at least one person filed a complaint to the Office of Civil Rights about how the University handled a report of sexual assault or harassment. This investigation has not started in an official capacity and it could be months before the policies and procedures are reviewed by federal investigators.

Snow buries parts of Rockies, Upper Midwest
ASSOCIATED PRESS
(1)
PIERRE, S.D. — People in the Upper Midwest and Rockies woke up to frigid temperatures Tuesday, with heavy snow blanketing some areas. Other parts of the country are expecting a dose of the icy weather later this week from a powerful storm that hit Alaska with hurricane-force winds over the weekend.
Traveler Susan Messerly returns to her car at Billings Logan International Airport in Billings, Mont., after her flight to Phoenix was canceled, as temperatures plunged below zero Tuesday. Forecasters said record lows were possible this morning and the cold air would linger into the weekend.
SNOW, SNOW ... AND TUMBLEWEEDS
More than 2 feet of snow blanked parts of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, and more was on the way before the front was expected to exit today. Northern Wisconsin also got as much as 18 inches of snow, and parts of central Minnesota more than 16.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The weather wasn't enough to persuade Joe Meath to flee Minnesota, even though he won nearly $12 million in a state lottery game two months ago. Meath was busy with his small snowplow business, taking care of his customers in his Chevy truck with nearly 300,000 miles on it.
"I don't know what I'd be doing if I wasn't doing this today." Meath told KMSP-TV.
At Northern Michigan University, journalism student Mikenzie Frost said she was headed out the door to figure skating practice early Tuesday when she learned her school, like many others in the region, was closed. So, she shifted plans.
"Going to buy a shovel because we don't have one," Frost said. "We're probably the only people in the U.P. (Upper Peninsula) that don't have one"
In Colorado, some residents were shoveling out from under tumbleweeds rather than snow. Winds of up to 60 mph
caused tumbleweeds to pile up several feet high in and around Colorado Springs and Pueblo as the storm system moved into the region Monday.
The National Weather Service called for snow to taper today, except for more lake-effect snow mostly over Michigan.
THE COLD
Unseasonable cold was far more widespread, with the cold air in the Rockies and Midwest spilling into the Pacific Northwest. The chill was aiming for the Appalachians and mid-South by this morning and the East Coast by Thursday.
In Billings, Mont., where temperatures in the high 60s fell into the single digits, Patsy Kimmel said she'd been warned before arriving from Oklahoma to visit family and celebrate her 70th birthday.
"Yesterday I was wearing sandals and a short-sleeve shirt, and today I'm wearing a coat and scarf and turtleneck and sweatshirt and gloves," said Kimmel.
In the Texas Panhandle temperatures plunged, from 70 degrees into the teens overnight. Oklahoma City went from a high of 80 degrees Monday to a low of 30 Tuesday morning.
In the Dakotas, wind chills made it feel like 20 below in some places. That was good news for Action Mechanical Inc. of Rapid City, S.D., which was doing a booming heating and ventilation business.
"Bang! We get this arctic blast, and it just opens the floodgates," said John Hammond Ir., a department head. "We're behind right now as we're sitting here talking."
ceremony indoors.
In Denver, temperatures in the teens prompted officials to move a Veterans Day
AT LEAST SOME OF THE CATTLE ARE READY
With only a few inches of snow, ranchers in the Dakotas were upbeat, mindful of intense storms in October 2013 that killed at least 43,000 cattle that hadn't yet developed protective winter coats.
"We've had enough cool weather (this year) that they're haired up like bears," said South Dakota Stockgrowers Association President Bob Fortune, who ranches near Belvidere. "They can take winter now."
But Wyoming rancher Ogden Driskill said conditions in his northeastern corner of the state turned cold so abruptly that cattle hadn't yet
developed that thick coat. He said the cold was more of a risk to calves who might sicken than to mature cattle.
DON'T BLAME THE POLAR
VORTEX
Whatever the case, the cold
Meteorologists are adamant the weather isn't because of the polar vortex, a giant upper air pattern that normally pens in cold air in the Arctic in the winter. Instead, they say it's pushed in by a different weather phenomenon more related to the remnants of a powerful typhoon.
"The polar vortex itself has not moved south. It's still in the Arctic where it always is," said National Weather Service spokeswoman Susan Buchanan.
is expected to linger. Some regions will go from record warm to record cold in just two days, with temperatures dropping 15 to 20 degrees below normal on the East Coast Friday and Saturday. Freezing temperatures will likely dip as far south as Atlanta on Friday, said Jeff Masters, meteorology director of the Weather Underground.

STEM fields provide permanent solutions
The debate between STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) majors and humanities majors seems to be going strong, much to my dismay. Completing a major in neurobiology, while also having close to 60 credits of humanities classes, gives me a pretty unique perspective on the humanities versus STEM field debate. The argument for humanities is that they promote critical
thinking and social awareness, but people seem to forget STEM fields are based on critical thinking.
I would challenge anyone to find a humanities class that requires more critical thinking than a neurology class examining mental illness, a chemistry class exploring the creation of new plastics or a physics class investigating propulsion techniques.
The fact is that STEM fields think critically all the time. In
my opinion, they think critically at a far higher level than what a humanities course requires. Most importantly, they think critically about things that are far more important. I don't think anyone could argue that the ability to write a song, paint a picture or analyze text would ever be as important as the ability to develop new medications, create new green technology or engineer safer buildings.
Engineer safer buildings The biggest problems of
our time — war, poverty, climate change, famine, etc. — will not be solved through philosophical debate or empathy. These problems will be solved by the most creative minds in higher education working together and thinking critically with all of the training a STEM major offers.

Erotic novels push publishing in wrong direction
By Victoria Calderon
@Miss Maddy
U up until last week,
I thought "Fifty
Shades of Grey"
was the worst thing to ever happen to the publishing industry. Sure, it makes money — lots of money — but the series also glorifies abusive relationships and shoddy writing. It's adapted "Twilight" fan fiction, which explains both of those issues. But then I stumbled onto a NPR story about a new series of erotica novels based on One Direction fan fiction published by Simon & Schuster
According to The Guardian, Anna Todd, a Texan military wife. (under the nom de plume Imaginator1D) has
published three out of the four part series on Wattpad. com. As the cover of the first novel, "After," boasts, the series has more than 1 billion reads online. This online popularity was enough to not only convince Simon & Schuster to publish the books, but also motivated Paramount Pictures to purchase the movie rights.
The plot of "After" revolves around young, naive Tessa and her on-again, off-again relationship with One Direction singer Harry Styles. Of course, names had to be changed for legal reasons, so in the novel Tessa falls in with "Hardin Scott."
For a publishing house like Simon & Schuster to invest in erotic One Direction fan fiction, as well as to publish without consent from the band, is a step back for publishers everywhere. The publishing house, which currently represents authors like Stephen King, and previously Ernest Hemingway, is contributing to a larger problem. I've never really been into fan fiction — it's a whole other world I will never understand. But turning both of these fan fictions into actual stories causes more harm than good.
As far as domestic abuse goes, "After" is said to be worse than "Fifty Shades of Grey." A review from Inquisitr calls Hardin's character "possessive, violent, verbally abusive, and cruel!" Even the summary on the publisher's website calls him rude "to the point of cruelty." This doesn't
seem like the type of message we want to be sending to millions of people who have and will read this.
In a world where domestic violence is becoming more and more visible, it is also becoming shockingly underrated. (I'm looking at you, NFL.) We should be teaching young girls and boys the signs of an abusive relationship. We should not be marketing violence against women to readers.
By publishing books like "After" and "Fifty Shades of Grey," publishing houses are perpetuating portrayals of domestic abuse brought on by clueless fan fiction writers. Just because a novel is popular online doesn't mean it needs to be rushed to the nearest bookstores and movie
theaters.
Being published by a company such as Simon & Schuster used to be something that authors strove for. Big name companies like Simon & Schuster and Random House reject manuscripts by more credible writers every day. The motivation behind publishing "Fifty Shades of Grey" and "After" is purely for profit rather than content. Unfortunately, I don't think the "After" series will be the last fan fiction-based novel to be published, but hopefully in the future publishing houses will see the problem with publishing thoughtless, violent fan fiction.

2014 election results don't bode well for education
By Victoria Calderon
@WriterVictoriaC
The results of the 2014 midterm election surprised Kansans
surprised Raisans across the state. Polls in the weeks leading up to the election showed a growing distaste for Gov. Sam Brownback and other Republicans running for office this cycle. According to the Associated Press, Democrat challenger Paul Davis had more people view him "favorably" than "unfavorably" - about 43 percent and 34 percent, respectively. Brownback, on the other hand, was unpopular in the polls, being "unfavorable" to 50 percent of those surveyed.
So how did Brownback win the election by 3.9 percent
(according to AP's numbers)? That's a question many University students are asking another, one we may never get an answer to.
There have been many explanations as to why many Republicans switched sides to support Davis in this election to make it a close race. One of the most popular was explained by Salon writer Luke Brinker: "Gov. Brownback, after all, trailed Democratic challenger Paul Davis in the polls for most of the 2014 cycle, owing to the destructive fiscal consequences of his large tax cuts."
Brownback still believes his "destructive" economic policy will end up helping Kansas in the long run, comparing it to the slow growth that occurred for 20 years
after the implementation of Reagonomics, according to Dan Bolz of the Washington Post.
"He signed off on deep tax cuts that he said would generate enough economic growth to turn the state around and also reverse the long decline in the state's population. So far, the program has not produced the predicted results, in growth rates or in state revenue. The state's bond rating has taken a hit, and Brownback has been pilloried by critics over education spending," Bolz said.
Let's talk about this education funding issue for a minute. Whether you agree or disagree that Brownback's economic plan will help Kansas in the long run, his plan is
decimating education in our state right now. He has been steadily endorsing bills to cut funding in various areas of education, which has resulted in the "basic allocation per student in Kansas [dropping] from more than $4,400 to less than $3,900," as reported by Time magazine.
by Time Magazine. Back in April, he signed into law a bill that was a response to the Kansas State Supreme Court's decision regarding public education funding as "unconstitutional." The bill added $129 million to state education funding, but at the expense of educators — the (mostly Republican) legislature added an amendment taking away due process for teachers, according to the Topeka Capital-Journal. This
is detrimental to education, as teachers who have been teaching for decades can now be fired for no reason. All an administrator has to do is dislike that teacher, and they're gone. This amendment could potentially cause huge corruption in schools.
Brownback's track record has proven he isn't dedicated to helping the future of education, only to making his failing economic plan succeed. He is allowing changes to our public education system that will hurt our younger siblings, future and present educators, and our state as a whole. And it can only go downhill from here.

Are erotic novels like 50 Shades of Grey sending the wrong message to its audience?
@lauwrenorder
@KansanOpinion I think that the author was ignorant in the abusive undertones portrayed in Fifty Shades, so others believe it's condoned.

New physics scholar fund names recipients
DELANEY REYBURN
@DelaneyReyburn
@DelaneyReyburn
In 2013, Gene Feaster, a University alumnus who has created a lasting legacy for students and faculty, established the Gene R. Feaster Scholars Fund to recognize outstanding undergraduate achievement in physics.
Feaster, the inventor of Superflab, a medical device used in radiology clinics across the country, received his bachelor's degree in chemistry in 1940 and his doctorate in physics in 1953 at the University. He has gifted two $500,000 endowed scholarship funds, one in nursing and the other in the Department of Physics and
This year, the first two students were officially named Gene R. Feaster Physics Scholars. Juniors Emily Ann Smith and Daniel Rhodes were awarded the scholarship for the 2014-15 academic year, which will cover tuition costs for one year for each recipient.
"The scholarship requirements mainly give preference to students who are from Kansas," Kristi Henderson, director of communications for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences said. "The committee considered students' academic records, placing emphasis on achievement in physics, mathematics and chemistry."
Astronomy.
Henderson said Smith and Rhodes are outstanding young scholars who have shown an aptitude for physics in the classroom and the lab.
"They are eager to learn, which is evident in their exceptional academic records and their commitment to deepening their knowledge through hands-on undergraduate research projects over the past couple of years," Henderson said.
The recipients are selected by a committee in the Department of Physics and Astronomy made up of faculty and students. With this being the scholarship's first year, Smith
and Rhodes are the only two receiving it. Henderson said in the future, the number of recipients each year will vary from one to two.
Smith, from Lenexa, said the physics department asked for a short personal statement from the students eligible for the award.
EMILY ANN SMITH
Smith has been doing research with the physics department since the summer before her freshman year. She said her involvement with the physics department has helped her with her time at the University in reaching her goals.
"I have been involved with various research projects, including the simulation of a theoretical particle and the
"There was not a formal application process, as such, but it wasn't a complete surprise when it was awarded," Smith said. "I was extremely excited to receive this award and very grateful to Dr. Fearster for his donation."
repair of the CMS forward pixel tracker, which took place at the LHC at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland," Smith said.
With the hope to eventually continue working in research, Smith plans to pursue a PhD in physics and to continue with particle physics research in graduate school. She is also currently involved in University band and the professional engineering fraternity Theta Tau.
DANIEL RHODES
Rhodes, from Oskaloosa declared physics as his major when he arrived at the University as a freshman. Rhodes has always been interested in physics and believes the large number of math and science courses he has taken, as well as his nearly 4.0 cumulative GPA, helped him in being chosen for the scholarship.
Rhodes said he received the email notifying him of his nomination a little over a week before the semester started and was then informed he was selected about two weeks into the semester.
"I hadn't heard of it before the nomination email, so I was very surprised," he said. "I was excited because I thought I had a good chance to get it. The scholarship was simply awarded to me; all I had to do was write a few sentences about my most important experience at KU so far."
Actively involved in research with the KU Nuclear Group from summer until now, as well as being a native Kansan, were also factors that helped get him nominated for the scholarship.
Rhodes plans to attend graduate school after his undergraduate to pursue a master's and possible Ph.D. in physics. "I hope to have a career as a researcher, and I would particularly like to work at CERN," Rhodes said.

Future Jayhawk runs late-night delivery service
KELSIE JENNINGS
@kelcien
@kelcjen
One future Jayhawk is putting his degree to use and getting real world experience before he graduates, or even enters a classroom at the University.
Steven Fowler, a future business major at the University, runs his own delivery service that sells convenience store items, ranging from snacks, energy drinks and over-the-counter medicine to cigarettes and condoms. Lawrence residents can call and order over the phone, and Fowler delivers to wherever they are, as long as it's in Lawrence and their order is at least $6.
Fowler, who is from Overland Park, went to Johnson County Community College, but is transferring to the University for the spring semester as a sophomore and will major in business administration with a minor in economics.
Fowler got the idea during college when he, like a lot of students, was up late partying or doing homework.
"People would always be needing cigarettes or medicine or mixers," Fowler said. "I was just like, 'someone should just deliver all those little knick knacks that you run to the store for'. It would be a safer environment for them at night."
ers between 8 p.m. and 3 a.m. from Wednesday through Saturday. He named his delivery service The Birdfeeder LLC because of the Jayhawk community he is serving. The business is registered as a limited liability company, for legal and tax purposes, and he includes the sales tax into the prices listed on his menu.
Because of this, Fowler deliv-
"People would always be needing cigarettes or medicine or mixers. I was just like, 'someone should just deliver all those little knick knacks that you run to the store for.' "
STEVEN FOWLER
Future sophomore from
Overland Park
Fowler decided to take time off from school so he could focus on starting his business, which has been running since last fall. He has a membership at Sam's Club, so he buys all of his products in bulk and then delivers out of his home in Lawrence. So far, it's been a one-man business because he's been able to manage the demand by himself. He said the most popular items are Gatorade, cigarettes and chewing tobacco. He mostly gets calls from students on Friday and Saturday nights, when he usually makes $50 to $100 per night. He lives near the Oread and said he is able to respond quickly if students call.
His delivery service has been working well so far, he said, but the one thing he has learned through this experience is the challenge of marketing.
"That's probably been the biggest eye-opener, is word-of-mouth doesn't travel as fast as you think it will." Fowler said. "You gotta catch [customers] at the right time."
Lucky for Fowler, he has a University friend who can help him with the marketing side of things. Jason Falen, also from Overland Park and a senior studying strategic communication, has been there to help attract customers.
"We talk about marketing and what we can do to help the target market," Falen said. "It's kind of about word-of-mouth and marketing at this point."
Falen works as a DJ at Bullwinkles Bar in Lawrence. He, like Fowler, said there is a big demand for cigarettes, and said he thinks this is because there isn't a cigarette machine in the bar like other bars around town.
Fowler also gets the word out about his business through a Facebook page, Twitter and fliers that he puts up around bars and some restaurants. Falen also hands out fliers when he's working as a DJ on the weekends.

World Fashion Show spotlights diversity, culture
MARISSA KAUFMANN
@mariss193
The rich cultural diversity of the University will be showcased tonight at the World Fashion Show. The Student Union Activities cultural programming committee is hosting the fashion show and will have various campus groups walk the catwalk, model, dance and table at the event.
Sam Eastes, a sophomore from Pratt and the cultural programming coordinator for SUA, said the representation of these cultures is not something you will find on a daily basis on campus. Cultural organizations participating in the event will be modeling both traditional and contemporary styles from their culture and will show how they have brought their culture to the University, as well as what they are doing with it here, Eastes said.
Fashion Show attendees will also be able to experience the cultures through taste. Eastes said the event will be serving authentic dishes from KU Catering such as sushi, a
Mediterranean platter, hummus, baba ghanoush, dolmas and more.
The participating organizations include: KU Jeeva, Paraguayan Student Association, Soka Gakkai International, Chinese Students & Scholars Friendship Association, Korean Student Association, Peruvian Organization of Lawrence, First Nations Student Association, Hispanic American Leadership Organization and individual performers Melanie D'Souza and Shiho Takigani.
This will be the third year of the fashion show, and it will lead up to the University's International Education Week.
Mariah Givens, a senior from Olathe, will be the MC for the event. She was the cultural programming coordinate for the event last year.
The fashion show will be on the fifth floor of the Kansas Union in the Ballroom, and admission is free.
SPOTLIGHT: FIRST NATIONS STUDENT ASSOCIATION
Freddy Gipp, vice president of the First Nations Student Association and a junior from Lawrence, is participating this year in the show for the second time. He will be wearing what he calls regalia, which was designed by the Sioux Tribe and is a handmade outfit including beadwork, Gipp said. He will also be wearing a headdress that comes with eagle feathers. After modeling, he will be dancing the grass dance, which he said is a warrior dance that originates from the Omaha Tribe of Nebraska.
Performing alongside Gipp will be Landri James, a junior from Lawrence, who will be wearing a jingle dress. He said it is handmade with hundreds of jingles sewed on, which constitutes rows and rows of beautiful noise. He said these jingles, which are primarily gold, are very pretty, and the dress itself is a multitude of colors, but mostly white. James will be performing a jingle dress dance, which is a medicine dance or healing dance that came from the Ojibwe Tribe.
"We usually dance competition-based, but it is good to give back to the community and showcase our talent and bring about recognition," Gipp said.
KU leeva will be performing a fusion of dance styles including Bollywood, Bhangra and classical, said Shane Smith, a sophomore from Overland Park, and the club co-captain and male lead.
SPOTLIGHT: KU JEEVA
"It brings a diverse style mix [of] traditional South Asian dance styles that people do not normally see and exposes them to something unique," Smith said.
“[As] a Buddhist organization we take the principles like humanistic values into society," Rai said.
former club president, said the club is a religious group.
The club will also be featuring three male models, including Smith, as well as Jon Hargett, a sophomore from Olathe, and Malin Kapoor, a freshman from Overland Park. They will be wearing shervani or a kurta, which are traditional garments, Smith said.
SPOTLIGHT: SOKA GAKKI
INTERNATIONAL KU
Soka Gaakki International KU will be tabling at the fashion show to recruit more members and showcase information about the club's activities and discussions. Saat-vika Rai, a fourth-year Ph.D. University student from Bangalore, India, and current coordinator of SGI KU and
The club hosts discussions and forums to pose questions such as: How do we as individuals contribute to world peace, how do different departments approach peace and approach nuclear weapons, and how can we have a world free of nuclear weapons by the year 2030?
Rai said students across the nation are part of SGI and all are part of the "our new clear" future, which is the name to the concept of communicating through dialogue to discuss peaceful ways of sharing humanistic values across different religions and backgrounds.
"How can we reach a consensus that human life is most valuable and we need to create a society where you know value is not placed on industries or economic growth, but actually on the value of human life and human beings," Rai said.

KU graduates take top places in global jet design competition
RYAN MILLER
@Ryanmiller_UKD
Earlier this year, The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics hosted its 2013-14 Individual Undergraduate Aircraft Design Competition. Competitors were tasked with designing their own jet trainer that would train pilots. The designs had to meet many different regulations and requirements, and the competitors were tasked with designing the entire trainer, start to finish, individually.
The winners were announced in September and two of the three were University students. Eleazar Lachino, a former student from East Moline, Ill., who graduated in August, placed third with his "Pegasus Jet Trainer Design." Alejandra Escalera, a May 2014 graduate from La Paz, Bolivia, took second place with her "SPICA NOX JET" design. The Kansan had an interview with each competitor about their experiences with the jet design competition.
KANSAN: What was the hardest part for you about the competition?
KANSAN: What made you decide to enter the competition?
ALEJANDRA ESCALERA:
Everybody has to enter at least some competition.
You decide to take your concentration, so I decided to go into aircraft. I could have decided to go to only the undergraduate group competition, which I did too, but I had started working on this airplane in the fall, and I really liked my design. Eventually your design becomes your baby, like it's your own work, and I thought I could continue into the individual competition, and it would be fun.
ELEAZAR LACHINO. In the fall, we have different design electives to take, such as aircraft design, turbine design or spacecraft design, and I picked aircraft design. We were informed there would be a competition, and I decided to join the competition because I enjoyed it so much. It was awesome.
LACHING: The hardest part was the fact that we were told it would be judged by industry people; engineers from different firms or companies, so we were given requirements we were supposed to meet on top of that industry requirement. Also we were designing an aircraft not only better than the T-38, but [also] meeting all the industry rules and stuff. So I had to meet all those regulations which was the hardest part.
ESCALERA: I was about to start senior year and I thought, "How on earth am I going to design an aircraft?" I was anxious, but also a bit scared, but when you start working with the professor and get working on some of these things, it just keeps happening. One of the hardest parts was just balancing everything, like all your tasks, managing everything between your classes and the design competition, which takes extra time. Also, I thought, "How can I make this aircraft more unique, and actually make it work?" I think just managing time was the hardest part.
KANSAN: What part was your favorite, or the most fun, aspect of the competition?
funnest part of it all was being able to come up with different aircraft configurations.

LACHING I have to say it was early on in the process. There was a point Dr. [Ron] Barrett advised me to come up with different aircraft configurations. That part was the most fun because any idea that came to my head I wrote down. The
KANSAN: Where do you plan on taking your designs next?
ESCALERA: It's really nice to be able to graduate with such an award. It's really nice because these are international competitions and when you're second in the world, it sounds nice. I was really happy, but I was also really happy about not only myself, but Eleazar for example, because he had placed too, and actually my entire class ended up with international awards, so finding that out was great.
ESCALERA: My favorite part of the design itself was just to be able to go from different calculations and things like that into a model that you can actually see. Translating all the work into an actual thing is something that I really, really enjoy. Also, working with professor Dr. Barrett was very useful and very nice too. He was a great professor, and he supported us.
KANSAN: How did you feel when you found out how you did?
LACHING: I ended up placing third. I was pretty happy.I'm not sure about total number of competitors, but there were three of us from KU. It was an international competition; just being in the top three made me really happy.
LACHING: If you ask any undergrad what their final goal is, it's to be working at a big company like Boeing or Cessna and just be able to design a small part of an aircraft, one that you can identify. For me, it's not just aircraft. I love to design for just about anything, cars, appliances, anything. Designing things people haven't come up with before is what I would like to do.
ESCALERA: Well, now I am working in Austin, Texas, and working for a company called Wetzel Engineering, and what we actually do is design the wind turbine blades. I am planning on going back to grad school next year. I also really like the aero elasticity, and this is something that we applied a lot in our competition designs and in my design as well, and it's something I want to really keep studying, so that's probably the next step.
RANSAN: Is there anything I haven't asked about with the competition or your experiences with it that you would like to share?
ESCALERA: Well I think it's something that every student could do as long as they have the right support, which we definitely did from the entire faculty. You have to handle your time well, so you're not affecting your other classes. Design overall is really something that I found to be passionate about, and being able to design something, and see it fly, or see you win a competition, then it means that you have designed something that can be feasible, so it's great. I really do enjoy it.

SENIOR SENDOFFS
SENIOR SENIENDUFFS
For the final time of their careers, 21 Kansas seniors will play football on the field they've come to call home. Thirteen starters and punter Trevor Pardula will be among the 21 honorees at Memorial Stadium on Saturday as Kansas takes on No. 4 Texas Christian at 2 p.m.
Joined hand-in-hand with parents, brothers, sisters and loved ones, the 21 Jayhawks will have a moment to reflect on their KU football journey in the minutes before kickoff in one of the tallest tasks of the season. Win or lose, Saturday will be a time to ruminate, a time to say thanks and a time to be thanked.
"We're going to make sure that we show the amount of respect and appreciation to these guys through the course of this week," coach Clint Bowen said. "We make it a point of doing that."
According to Bowen, the team will be doing some senior-oriented things this week leading up to the players' final game at Memorial Stadium. Often in coach-speak, it's about the game ahead and taking things one day at a time. This week, however, with the final home game Saturday, Bowen says it's OK to look back a little bit.
"Those team meetings the Friday before always get a little bit emotional." Bowen said.
Those 21 will remember getting up before the sun for morning weight sessions, the sprints up the hill to the Campanile in the summer heat and the late night routes in the biting cold. They'll remember the friendships, the laughs, the tears, all this — fleeting thoughts, a flood of memories
- before the last chapter.
It's a group of young men
that has seen as many new head coaches as conference victories. Twenty-one men who came in looking to carry the torch of the Orange and Insight Bowls, looking to spin those successes into Big 12 trophies — bigger and better football moments for this program.
Instead, they will be remembered for laying the foundation to rebuild - the springboard that made Memorial Stadium the place to be again.
"[They're] a group of guys that through some tough situations, tough circumstances always stayed together, always stayed positive — a group of guys that never quit," Bowen said. "I feel the team has a different feel to it in the locker room. We have players over here a lot more often when they're not required to be."
"Anybody associated with our program that knows Tony [Pierson] on a day-to-day basis is a Tony fan." Bowen said. "I don't know how you couldn't be. The young man is as polite and good-hearted a guy we've had in the program for a long time. I've never once heard a negative comment said about Tony in all the time I've been here. He truly is a special guy."
"He wears his emotions on his sleeve," Bowen said of Heeney. "There is no doubt
But if these players grade out as too slow, too small or too weak by pro scouts' standards, Bowen says they have traits that will carry them in any endeavor they choose to pursue after Kansas.
Despite last week's win and the signs that this program is pointing in the right direction, the finality of a career that may not see a bowl game will hit hard. For many, football ends with graduation.
Bowen says anything involving linebacker Ben Heeney will be full of passion.
when you go to practice or you go into a game that you're going to get everything Ben Heeney has to help you at whatever the cause is."
Michael Reynolds is known for his quick-twitch ability on the field, but it's his studious nature that has Bowen buzzing.
"Michael goes in there and he studies the person he's going to go against," Bowen said. "He's into breaking down offensive tackles, most of the time that guy's past sets, that guy's tendencies. He takes a big approach to the game."
Name a position on the defense, and there is a good chance Victor Simmons has played it. Simmons' versatility has never been questioned in his four seasons at Kansas.
"You talk about (Victor Simmons) going from safety to a linebacker, to now we have him rushing the quarterback," Bowen said. "He's an intelligent man."
The list goes on. Their stories are unique and personal,but their effort and passion are no different.
Their names may not encircle Kivisto Field in the Ring of Honor. Heeney's might. But what they did for this program may mean so much more than their name emblazoned for show. When so many could have packed it in after all the humiliating defeats and the late-game miscues, they dug deeper. Kansas football is better because of it.
"I think we have tremendous seniors on this team that deserve all the appreciation we're going to show them," Bowen said.
Of the 19 seasons Bowen has spent with Kansas football, three of those came with a set of pads on his shoulders and a helmet on his head.
BOWEN REMEMBERS
HIS LAST GAME
Bowen has an acute memory of the day he said goodbye to Memorial Stadium in his blue jersey.
"The part I remember is I remember on the Friday night meeting before we got to address the team as seniors in the meeting," Bowen said. "Seeing some guys who always pretend to be pretty tough get up there and cry like little girls, myself included."
But senior days, bittersweet as they can be, can stick in the memory bank long after they are over for good reasons.
"It was against Missouri," Bowen said about his final game in Lawrence back on Nov. 20, 1993. "We shut them out 28-0. It wasn't even close. Non-competitive."
TCU PHYSICAL, NOT GIMMICKY
IUCF PHYSICAL, NOT GIMMICKY
The senior say matchup is against a team with just one bleismish beside its name, the (8-1, 5-1) TCU Horned Frogs.
A large part of their success is the defense, which allows just 22.3 points per game and held No. 7 Kansas State to 20
this past week.
"TCU is a very talented team playing at a high level," Bowen said. "Gary Patterson has done a tremendous job. In all honesty, the last 10 years I've spent countless hours in the offseason watching TCU's defense trying to steal ideas because he's been one of the best defensive coaches in college football for a long time."
But the offense is what's different this season for the Horned Frogs from last season's (4-8, 2-7) team. The unit averages 47.2 points per game as opposed to 25.1 last season.
["Quarterback Trevone Boykin] is gifted with his athletic ability, speed, change of direction, all of that," Bowen said. "He has a cannon for an arm."
Bowen said the key for a victorious senior send-off is keeping athletic TCU players like Boykin from getting out on an island where Kansas will have to make one-on-one tackles, and always swarming to the ball.
This TCU offense, like Bay lor, is often misunderstood.
"People get confused with open style of offense," Bowen said. "They automatically think that this is a gimmick-type offense or it's a pass-first offense. They're a knock-you-off-the-ball-type mentality. If they can do that the whole game, that's actually their preference."
NEWS AND NOTES
Freshman Darious Crawley has been permanently moved to running back for this season because of his quickness and speed.
INJURIES
"We're getting better on that front," Bowen said. "This week, Keon [Stowers] will be back in there, Andrew [Bolton] will back in there, Joe Gibson gets battled through and continues to play. DeAndre Mann has a chance to get back in this week. Our biggest concern now is Ngalu [Fusimalohi]. Ngalu is probably pretty questionable."

Jamari Traylor's up and under and-one at the 6:43 mark of the first half
Graham forced Emporia State guard Perryonte Smith into an over-and-back. On the next possession, Graham ran the floor and found Lucas in the paint for an easy alley-oop finish, continuing Kansas' momentum.
Traylor received the feed in the paint from Wayne Selden Jr. He drove to the lane and finished in traffic. This propelled Kansas to its largest lead of the half so far, which was 12 points. Traylor finished at the line to extend the lead to 13.
Devonte' Graham's alley-oop to Landen Lucas at the 5:11 mark in the first half
Wayne Selden Jr. alley-oop to Perry Ellis at the 17:10 mark of the second half
Selden ran the floor and found Ellis wide open for the huge oop. Before Ellis even caught the pass, Selden was already on his way down the floor to get back on defense. Selden's defensive energy sent a surge through the rest of the team, leading to Emporia State turnovers and easy baskets in the lane for Kansas.
Cliff Alexander's block and dunk at the 13:29 mark in the second half
Alexander sent an Emporia State shot flying into the backcourt to sophomore Frank Mason. Mason found Alexander in the paint and rewarded the big man for his defensive effort with an enormous fast break dunk in the lane.

THE DAILY DEBATE
Who's the best team in the NBA?
By Griffin Hughes
@GriffinJHughes
TORONTO
In the NBA, one can never tell who the best team really is until two and a half weeks after the All-Star break. But no matter where we are in the season, there are some things you can see from each team that makes you think, "Yup, this is the best team."
While Golden State seems like the obvious choice considering they score more than any team in the stingy Western Conference and have probably the best backcourt in the NBA in the "Splash Brothers," there is another team from across the northern border that has a lethal combination of power and speed. Not only do they have the athletic and scoring talent, they have defensive strength like few others and a certain fire that only the cold reality of playing second fiddle to every American team can ignite; and they play under a mascot that encapsulates it all.
Raptors.
Yes our friends from Toronto
have the best team in all of the Association because they have all the pieces of not only a championship caliber team, but also the flash and flair of a Globetrotter-esque road show.
Yeah, they have all the basic makings of a championship winning team. They're top of the Eastern Conference in points for and third in points against; they're winning the close games — all one of them that they've had — and they're fifth in assist-to-turnover ratio. They do the little things well: shooting 79 percent from the free throw line and 45 percent from the floor. They play gritty and nasty on the defensive side, holding their opponents to under 1.3 points per shot and just 35 percent from three.
But the stats don't tell the whole story. DeMar DeRozan is a match nightmare to opposing guards. Standing at 6 feet 7 inches and 220 pounds, DeRozan is an absolute beast in the paint and in transition, and he leads the team with nearly 23 points per game. Kyle Lowry is your typical point guard: he's fast and cunning with great vision and an explosive second
step, but he also averages more than four rebounds per game while at the same time leading Toronto in assists.
This is a Raptors team built from flex players and place-fiters. There's no guy or two guys who are consistently expected to get the job done, and whose shoulders the fate of the team rests on. Even DeRozan is allowed to have an off night, as Toronto defeated OKC by 12 in DeRozan's worst game of the season so far this year: He had just 16 points on 4-for-12 shooting.
They're not the flashy stat-sheet fillers we expect from a championship team, but they've clearly taken a more San Antonio-y route to winning a title. They play as five men united as one team on the floor at all times. Yes they have stars and dominant scorers like DeRozan, but the team is built on old school principles: disciplined guards surrounded by fast wings and tough, gritty defense.
This is a team that is built to last, and one that will last all the way through the season.

GOLDEN STATE
By Sean Collins
@Seanzie
No, it's not the San Antonio Spurs, Cleveland Cavaliers or the Oklahoma City Thunder, for now at least. The Golden State Warriors have proven to be more than championship caliber so far this year.
Point guard Stephen Curry is leading the league in scoring after the first three weeks of play, averaging 27.7 points and 7.2 assists per game (eighth in the league). Curry has also been a pest on the defensive end of the ball with 3.5 steals per game.
Curry isn't the only one getting work done on offense so far; his fellow "Splash Brother" Klay Thompson has put up 23.8 points per game, which is seventh in the league. Thompson had a huge game against the Los Angeles Lakers on Nov. 1, scoring a career-high 41 points.
Golden State as a team is ranked third in points per game, as well as points allowed, making them not
only the offensive juggernaut they have been the past few years, but also a defensive powerhouse.
Despite suffering their first loss of the season to the Phoenix Suns on Sunday, the Warriors began the season with five straight wins, including three against the Western Conference's finest in the Los Angeles Clippers, Portland Trail Blazers and Houston Rockets. The Warriors also won big on the road against the upstart Sacramento Kings 95-77.
The Warriors have the street cleared for them to make a title run. The Spurs have looked shaky in their title defense, holding a 3-3 record, while the Oklahoma City Thunder have been destroyed by injuries to superstars Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, and the Rockets lost small forward Chandler Parsons to the Dallas Mavericks in the offseason.
Although the Rockets have also been off to a hot start with a 6-1 record, they rely too heavily on their stars James Harden and Dwight
Howard, and have little depth off the bench. Houston did gain Trevor Ariza in the offseason, which adds 3-point shooting the spread the floor. If anyone is going to challenge the Warriors thus far, it'll be the Rockets.
For the past five years, teams in the Eastern Conference have looked much weaker than teams in the West. The Cavs have struggled to begin the season, but look to be improving after a herculean effort by LeBron James to record a triple double in Monday's win against the Pelicans. The Chicago Bulls will also be a force in the East due to Derrick Rose's return, and the Miami Heat with Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade have looked sharp as well.
However, even within the tough Western Conference, the Warriors have proven to be dominant thus far in the early season, and come springtime, will have a good chance at the Larry O'Brien trophy.

Self pleased with play of his backup big men
BLAIR SHEADE
@RealBlairSheady
If you look at the stat sheet, you couldn't pick out the best players on the court Tuesday night against the Emporia State Hornets. Eight players scored in double-digits to close out the exhibition stint of the 2014 season.
Among the eight players who scored in double-figures, five were players who came off the bench. Freshman Cliff Alexander and sophomores Hunter Mickelson and Landen Lucas didn't start, but they scored double-digit points during the 109-56 Kansas win.
Emporia State coach Shaun Vandiver called the Kansas big men "GAMs," or grown ass men, because he thought the frontcourt of Kansas is a strong and physical group of guys.
Kansas started with juniors Perry Ellis and Jamari Traylor, with Ellis finishing with 13 points. All five big men
played more than 12 minutes, which is something coach Bill Self doesn't anticipate during the regular season.
"The guys getting 18 minutes will get more like 10 minutes." Self said. "Perry [Ellis] will get his, though."
Self said he thought Lucas and Mickelson played the best out of the five big men. Lucas scored 13 points and grabbed four rebounds during 12 minutes of playing time.
"Landen Luces has improved," Self said. "The thing Landen does better than our other bigs, jamari [Traylor] and Perry [Ellis] have a great feel for the game, but Landen has the best feel for the guys coming off the bench without question. He's smart."
Self said Lucas has improved the most of anyone on the team, and Lucas reminds Self of former Jayhawk forward Jeff Withey.
"He is still just a sophomore," Self said about Lucas's improvements. "Think
about Jeff Withey and what he did. [Withey] never got into the game until he was a junior, and he ended up playing in the league. Landen [Lucas] hasn't gotten to that point, but Landen is on that same uptick."
The other sophomore who fans haven't seen much of is Hunter Mickelson, who had to sit out last season due to transferring from Arkansas in 2012.
Mickelson was the second big man off the bench replacing Lucas. Mickelson scored 10 points during his 14 minutes.
"I thought Hunter [Mickelson] played great," Self said. "I would put Hunter [Mickelson] and Landen [Lucas] in a higher category about what they did to help our team."
Mickelson and Lucas scored 14 second-half points off the bench and were the best players off the bench, Self said. The two sophomores only contributed eight rebounds,
but five of the eight rebounds were offensive rebounds that resulted in 10 points.
Self said he wasn't pleased with how freshman forward Cliff Alexander played, even though Alexander was the second leading scorer on the team with 12 points.
“[Alexander] got off 10 shots in 13 minutes so that may be a record.” Self said sarcastically. “[Alexander] didn't play well enough to score 12 points, in my opinion. He really struggled when he first got in, but then he got comfortable and got a couple easy baskets.”
Self played all 15 guys tonight, and 11 played 10 minutes or more, but that won't be the case once Kansas faces its first Division I opponent — University of California Santa Barbara — on Friday at 7 p.m.
"I still see us playing nine or 10 guys, but we won't play all 11, at least," Self said.

Kansas' results in games against Florida and Kentucky will set the tone for the rest of the season. Still, a loss to either Kentucky or Florida would not make or break the season. It would be a surprise if the Jayhawks didn't win an eleventh-straight Big XII title.
Smaller programs, however, have more at stake in the first few weeks of the season.
UC Santa Barbara could make a huge statement with a road win, or
Rick Pitino's Louisville will be pitted against his son Richard Pitino's Minnesota team Friday night in a game that would be more than just a win against his father for Richard Pitino. Minnesota narrowly missed the tournament last year but won the NIT.
at least a respectable performance, against the Jayhawks on Friday night. The Gauchos went 21-9 last season and missed the tournament.
that game is huge for Minnesota, a team that arguably should have made the tournament last season. It is early statement wins that can put a team inside or outside the bubble. Look at a team like North Dakota
State. The Bison made the NCAA tournament last year with a 26-7 record and a Summit League championship. They ended up sending 5-seed Oklahoma home in the first game of the NCAA tournament.
Right now, North Dakota State doesn't have a single ranked opponent on its schedule except for the 10th-ranked Texas Longhorns. If the Bison can't
repeat a Summit League championship and a tournament berth, it might be because of a weak schedule. A potential upset against Texas on Friday could make or break the season for NDSU.
THE BREW
With a young team that features only one senior, Lawrence Alexander, NDSU doesn't look set to repeat as a 12-seed in the tournament. The team's fate might hinge on an upset win against Texas or a win in the conference tournament at the end of the year.
The early going in college basketball is certainly a lot more meaningful than in college football. Instead of landslide-loss cash grabs for small schools, some bubble teams have opportunities
to make a quick case for the NCAA tournament.
The precarious position of topranked teams as the season quickly picks up highlights the parity of college basketball. It is inevitable that there will be surprising upsets in March, but the real test for small-conference schools and bubble teams is to use strength of schedule to their advantage.

TCU jumps to No.4 in College Football Playoff rankings
For TCU, a potential berth in the inaugural College Football Playoff never has felt closer.
The Horned Frogs (8-1, 5-1 in Big 12) climbed to No. 4 in Tuesday's updated CFP rankings, inside the projected four-tour mix of playoff participants.
But the Horned Frogs' climb, which allowed them to pass No. 5 Alabama (8-1) in the race for the pivotal fourth position, should come with the same warning that drivers see when checking their rearview mirrors: "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear."
In TCU's case, the most notable object to monitor is No. 7 Baylor. The Bears (8-1, 5-1), who share the Big 12 lead with TCU and defeated the Frogs 61-58 on Oct. 11, climbed five
spots in Week Three of the CFP rankings, released after two days of face-to-face meetings in Grapevine.
Unlike in past weeks, when CFP officials cited the Bears' soft nonconference schedule as a reason to keep the Bears out of their top-10 teams, Baylor received praise Tuesday night from Jeff Long, the CFP committee chairman. Long cited Saturday's 48-14 rout of then-No. 15 Oklahoma, which marked Baylor's first victory in school history in Norman, Okla., as a reason why the Bears are back in the national title mix following a week marked by losses from four of the top 10 teams in last week's CFP rankings.
Tuesday's top two spots, in a shakeup, went to No.1 Mississippi State (9-0) and No.2 Oregon (9-1), which slipped
past No. 3 Florida State (9-0). But the notable moves came from TCU, which slipped past Alabama, and Baylor, which is positioned to capitalize if the frontrunners stumble down the stretch.
TCU opened the most eyes with its climb into the top four, with Long citing the Frogs' 41-20 victory against then-No. 7 Kansas State as a deciding factor to slide TCU ahead of Alabama.
Long said TCU and Alabama remain "so close, they're almost indistinguishable" from one another in the estimation of committee members. But at this point, the CFP folks "give a very slight edge to TCU" in that comparison.
naylor received one of the biggest bounce among Tuesday's climbers, vaulting past a two-loss team from Ole Miss
(8-2) following victories by both schools. That represents a significant step for the Bears because Baylor, like TCU, now finds itself among the nation's top handful of teams with only one loss on its season record.
And the Bears, like TCU, face a favorable closing stretch in efforts to post an 11-1 record and grab a share of the Big 12 title by Dec. 7, when the four-team playoff bracket is set. How committee members compare the two teams over the final four weeks will be pivotal because Baylor can boost its schedule strength with late-season victories against Oklahoma State (5-4, 3-3) and No. 13 Kansas State (7-2, 5-1). TCU, on the other hand, will not face a team with a winning record the rest of the season.

COMMENTARY
Concussion doesn't slow down Brannen Greene
By Ben Felderstein
@Ben Felderstein
After exiting the first preseason game early with a concussion, sophomore guard Brannen Greene came into the Emporia State game with a lot to prove. Last season, Greene often found himself in coach Bill Self's infamous "Dog House"
"The beginning of the week, my head hurt a bit and I was dizzy." Greene said of his concussion. "Towards the end of the week, I started to feel a little better. I still had a little stiffness in my neck, but I was just anxious to get on the floor and help my team."
Greene's talent and athletic ability have never been the issue, as Self said last season that Greene "is an NBA talent." His problem has always been "off-the-court issues."
The Georgia native didn't start for the second straight game, but he came off the bench to provide big minutes. In the first half, Greene recorded seven points on 1-for-2 shooting from beyond the arc and was 4-for-4 from the free throw line.
Feeling hot from the first half, Greene fired up an open three on his first look of the second half and sunk it, putting Kansas up 30. At 6-foot-7, Greene is tall for the guard position and is a plus-defender because of it.
Greene isn't afraid to shoot the ball, and he put up seven shots throughout the course of the game. While he was only able to make two of them, the looks were solid. As the season goes on and Greene begins to find his stroke, his shooting percentage should rise, and so should his minutes played. Greene finished with 10 points in the contest, matching his career high.
"When the popcorn's popping, things are a little different." Greene said about the difference between practice and games. "Things are always more intense during the games."
Greene plays with a lot of emotion on the court and involves himself in nearly every play. On defense, he is always in the player's face, barking and intimidating. Whenever Greene was on the court last season, he played productive minutes; the key is limiting his off-the-court issues so he can contend for big minutes in the rotation. Greene can be a knockdown shooter for Kansas — he just needs to play.
"Brannen sometimes leaves a little bit to desire in practice." Self said. "Brannen got his nose dirty and went after the ball. He played hard."

Eight players score in double digits as Kansas thrashes Emporia State 109-56

KYLE PAPPAS
@kylepap
It did both Tuesday night at Allen Fieldhouse, dismantling Emporia State 109-56 and receiving 10 or more points from eight different players.
Heading into its second and final exhibition contest against Division II opponent Emporia State, No. 5 Kansas was expected to thrash the Hornets while getting significant minutes from the majority of its roster.
"We played a lot better tonight," coach Bill Self said. "I thought we looked more cohesive, the ball moved pretty good, we looked semi-organized at times. Not great, but pretty good."
The Jayhawks got off to a slow start, missing four of their first six shot attempts. That included back-to-back misses from behind the arc from guard Sviatoslav Mykhaliuk; the freshman had three of the Jayhawks' four misses before being subbed out around five
minutes in.
"To be honest, in the first half [Emporia State's] zone slowed us down a little bit and then obviously we didn't make any shots, I mean we didn't make any shots at all," Self said. "We actually executed fairly well, but were one-of-9 from three."
Though after the first media timeout, Kansas kicked into gear, putting together a swift 12-3 run highlighted by a Brannen Greene 3-pointer. Junior forward Jamari Trayler was impressive in the post early on, recording seven points on 3-of-3 shooting in the first. He also collected three rebounds to co-lead the team at halftime.
Following a team-leading 14 points and nine rebounds against Washburn, freshman forward Cliff Alexander didn't see his first action until around 10 minutes into the contest. After entering, the freshman promptly picked up two fouls in fewer than 30 seconds. He was replaced by Traylor after just two minutes.
Possibly related to Alexander's lack of playing time, Kansas' anticipated advantage in the paint simply wasn't there early on — the Hornets were outrebounding the Jayhawks midway through the first half. Following a nine-block performance against Washburn, the Jayhawks had only two by the time the halftime buzzer sounded.
"I actually thought we got out and defended them and created a little havoc..."
Despite its shaky start, Kansas closed the half with a nice run and headed into the locker room possessing a 46-25 lead. Self said he was satisfied with his team's defensive performance in the first period.
BILL SELF Men's basketball coach
"I actually thought we got
out and defended them and created a little havoc, and our ball-screen defense was a little better," he said. "It's nothing to be too excited about, but it's a lot better than it was last week."
The Jayhawks kept the momentum after the break, as one of the better sequences of the night occurred just after play resumed in the second.
Three minutes into the half, sophomore guard Wayne Selden Jr. tossed a quick alley-oop to junior forward Perry Ellis that evoked a boisterous roar from the Allen Fieldhouse crowd. Attempting to mount a quick counter, the Hornets moved the ball down the court, only for sophomore guard Tyler Jordan's layup to be rejected by Traylor at the other end. With a commanding 31-point lead and the 16,000-plus in attendance on their feet, Kansas never looked back.
Alexander turned things around in a major way in the second half as well. The
freshman threw down a series of powerful dunks over hapless Emporia State defenders, scoring eight consecutive points for Kansas at one juncture.
[Alexander] had the building going crazy, I don't think it got as loud as it did there prior to that point," Traylor said. "That's just what he can bring to the table; he's a dog."
Alexander and sophomore forward Landen Lucas both turned in impressive stat lines for the Jayhawks. Alexander finished the night with 12 points and six rebounds and Lucas contributed a 13 points on 4-5 shooting in only 12 minutes of play. For Emporia State, sophomore guard Jay Temaat led the way with 16 points off of the bench.
Kansas returns to action this Friday for a home tilt with UC Santa Barbara. It'll be the Jayhawks' first official regular-season game and will be broadcasted live on ESPN3.

Kansas takes momentum into K-State match
Pizz
@Corte_UDK
MATT CORTE
Last time the Jayhawks and Kansas State played each other, it took five grueling sets for the Wildcats to get a win in what can be described as the epitome of a sports rivalry game.
On Wednesday night, Kansas (18-7, 6-5) hopes to leave its own mark on the Sunflower Showdown by beating Kansas State (20-5, 7-4) in Manhattan.
The Jayhawks head into the Sunflower Showdown against Kansas State on Wednesday. Kansas has won its last two games, and K-State lost its previous match.
"This game has more impact on the standings than the last couple years have," coach Ray Bechard said. "We are trying to maintain our goals: top half of the conference, even top three in the conference, and the NCAA Tournament. You have to play very well to get a win on the road in this league and all of those things kind of come together with our opportunity in Manhattan."
ANNA WENNER/KANSAN
One of the goals, placing top three in conference, looked dim after Kansas opened conference play with three straight losses.
Now, the team is just one
Unlike Kansas State who lost its previous match to Texas, Kansas comes into the match with a bit of momentum as the team has won its last two matches.
win away against Kansas State from tying the Wildcats for third in the Big 12.
And not only are the jayhawks coming in strong as a team, but individually as well.
Earlier this week, Kansas swept the Big 12 weekly awards for the second time this season, which is the first time in Big 12 history that a program was able to do so twice in a season.
Sophomore libero Cassie Wait took home the defensive award for a second time, freshman setter Ainise Havili won rookie of the week for a third time, and junior outside hitter Tiana Dockery, perhaps the hottest swinging Jayhawk hitter, won her first offensive weekly award of the season.
Both Kansas and Kansas State have at least 10 underclassman on its rosters, with each team possessing a freshman stud to boast.
"We want to see her consistently be at the level she is now, that's the challenge for even the great players," Bechard said of Dockery. "You have to figure out how
to bring some form of consistency from that level. That way, we know each night what we are going to get out (of her). It would be tough to get 20 kills every night out, but for her to take big swings and be competitive like that is certainly what the Jayhawks need."
What the match could come down to is not the play of each teams upperclassmen like Dockery, but instead, its underclassmen.
Kansas' Havilli leads not just all Big 12 Freshman in assists, but the entire conference in assists with 1,066 for the season, and Kansas State freshman outside Kylee Zumah leads Big 12 Freshman in kills (337) and kills per set (3.62)

A Lawrence firefighter blasts water into a fire on 12th and Ohio streets. No one was injured in the blaze, which gutted six apartments on Wednesday.
The Red Cross and KU On Call are working to provide living accommodations and materials for the six residents whose 1224 Ohio St. apartment building caught fire Wednesday morning.
All six residents are accounted for, but will not be allowed to return to their apartments, said James King, fire marshal and division chief of prevention for the City of Lawrence.
Residents safe after apartment building fire
The fire department first received the alarm at 11:57 a.m., and arrived within five minutes. Upon their arrival, the first crew saw smoke from the front of the building, and then the second crew saw smoke from the back. Firefighters were able to enter the apartment, take control of the fire
and call an all clear within about 15 minutes. King said.
"No one was in the apartment at the time of the event," King said.
During the fire, a resident tweeted their pet was in one of the apartments that was on fire.
The pet was returned to its owner unharmed.
"Someone at the scene recognized that tweet, and alerted the crews, and we were able to remove the pet safely from the apartment." King said.
King said there was significant damage to the structure, and an investigation into the cause of the fire is now underway. After the investigation is complete, the fire department will notify the public of its findings.

Gay marriage approved in Douglas County
KELSIE JENNINGS
@kelcjen
Marriage licenses can now be issued to same-sex couples in Sedgwick and Douglas counties after the U.S. Supreme Court decided in favor of same-sex marriage in Kansas by denying a request for a hold on Judge Crabtree's court order from last week.
The decision was placed on the Supreme Court after the defense in the case, Marie v. Moser, requested an emergency application for a stay, or hold, on the court order from Crabtree. The request went to Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who is the circuit justice for the 10th Circuit, of which Kansas belongs.
"The application for stay presented to Justice Sotomayor and by her referred to the Court is denied. The order heretofore entered by Justice Sotomayor is vacated," reads the order that was released by the Court on Wednesday, Nov. 12.
"The public interest would best be served by this Court adhering to the consistent practice it has followed since it denied the petitions for certiorari on October 6, 2014, and denying the application for a stay pending appeal," said the ACLI in its response.
Crabtree's injunction was a court order for court clerks in Sedgwick and Douglas counties that says they can't deny marriage licenses to same-sex couples. This court order was supposed to go into effect on Tuesday, Nov. 11, but was put
on hold when Sotomayor granted the stay.
Edited by Sarah Kramer
After Sotomayor granted the stay to the defense on Monday, she had given the plaintiffs, the American Civil Liberties Union, who filed the lawsuit, Marie v. Moser, until 4 p.m. on Nov. 11 to respond to the stay.
The ACLU responded on Tuesday before the deadline and stated in its response that the hold on the injunction should be denied.
"IT IS ORDERED that the preliminary injunction entered by the United State District Court for the District of Kansas on November 4, 2014, is hereby stayed pending receipt of a response, due on or before Tuesday, November 11, 2014, by 5 p.m. ET, and further order of the undersigned or of the Court," Sotomayor wrote in her order signed on Monday.
Student Senate begins election reform discussions Wednesday

Will Admussen, government relations director, and Mitchell Cota, chief of staff, present a bill to the Student Senate Rights Committee to reform parts of the Senate election campaign process. Two of the four bills presented passed in committees Wednesday night.
Election reform, a historically contentious and hotly debated item within Student Senate, began with the first two of four bills passing with ease in committees Wednesday night.
Cota said that election reform is a topic they've been discussing since this summer, but wasn't a top priority at the beginning of the year. He said they didn't want to make it as big of an issue this semester.
Last year's election process began in February and lasted until August of this year due to the number of appeals and complaints filed. The election rules and decisions of the Election Commission also resulted in the disqualification of an entire coalition from the campaign and an additional election this fall.
Will Admussen, government relations director, and Mitchell Cota, chief of staff, presented two bills and will present two additional bills next week in full Senate. The two bills propose edits to the wording of different sections of the election code. Both bills passed unanimously in the committees where they were heard.
Cota said many of the changes are small but can make a big impact.
"We just wanted to tweak the rules, because the rules in general work, there were just some little things that unfortunately had major consequences," Cota said.
Next cycle, there will be bills presented discussing campaign finances and sanctions. Cota said he hopes to put more checks and balances within the system. Admussen had similar

University student expelled for 6 tweets
CASSIDY RITTER
@CassidyRittert
Navid Yeasin, a would-be senior, was expelled from the University halfway through the semester last November. In a hearing scheduled for Nov. 17 at the Douglas County District Court House, Judge Robert Fairchild will determine, or state whether more time is needed to determine, Yeasin's enrollment status for spring 2015.
Yeasin attempted to enroll in classes this fall for spring 2015 twice but was denied, leading to the hearing, Terry Leibold, Yeasin's lawyer, said.
A "bad breakup" that started in the summer of 2013 led to a no-contact order. Twitter problems and ultimately, the expulsion for Yeasin.
NO-CONTACT ORDER BEGINS
In Johnson County in summer 2013, an argument occurred between Yeasin and his now ex-girlfriend after he saw messages from another man on her phone. The two drove around arguing and she asked Yeasin to let her out, but he refused. He also refused to return her phone.
She complained to the Johnson County police. Court records show Yeasin was charged with criminal restraint, battery and criminal deprivation of property. To resolve this incident, Yeasin voluntarily entered a no-contact order, meaning he could not contact his ex-girlfriend.
"The judge who entered the order ruled that it was entered by consent with no findings of abuse," Leibold said. "In order to comply with the no-contact order, Navid removed the ex-girlfriend as a follower of his tweets. His Twitter account was private and could only be accessed by his followers."
Upon arrival to the Univer
sity in the fall 2013, Yeasin's ex-girlfriend notified the IOA of the summer incident. This led IOA to issue its own no-contact order, similar to the order given in Johnson County. Yeasin was, and is still, not allowed to have direct and indirect contact with his ex-girlfriend.
"IOA issued the no-contact letter because Yeasin had engaged in abusive and threatening behavior that made the victim afraid to be on campus, and he had continued to post negative tweets about her, which were causing her further distress and fear," Erinn Barcomb-Peterson, director of KU News Service, said in an email.
Yeasin expressed anger and frustration by tweeting about the ex-girlfriend but did not send the tweets to her or use her name.
"In addition, the tweets were not threatening in any manner," Leibold said. "The tweets made their way back to the ex-girlfriend who told the IOA about the tweets claiming the tweets were in violation of the no-contact order issued by the IOA... The tweets were no different than if Navid had complained to his friends about his ex-girlfriend and whatever he said ultimately reached the ex-girlfriend."
IOA met with Yeasin on Sept. 6, 2013, and he was told "his tweets violated the non-contact and anti-retaliation directive," according to Barcomb-Peterson. The IOA extended the no-contact order saying he was prohibited from even talking about the ex-girlfriend, including indirect contact via tweets. Leibold and Yeasin said this is a violation of freedom of speech granted by the First Amendment.
tent-based restriction and that's a violation of the First Amendment rights"
more tweets were made, again not naming the ex-girlfriend. There are a total of six tweets from Yeasin's Twitter, which the IOA said violated the no-contact order, according to Leibold.
"KU can't order somebody to not talk about somebody else." Leibold said. "It's a con-
The rules are in place to make sure that the University is safe, but I have to question the people who are enforcing the rules on what they're thinking."
NAVID YEASIN Expelled student
Last November, there was a formal hearing with the IOA to investigate the allegation of sexual discrimination and harassment, said Leibold. At this hearing, an additional tweet was presented even though the rules required that each side present any evidence they are going to use prior to the hearing.
THE FIRST HEARING
"Vice Provost Durham found that Yeasin's misconduct warranted expulsion because it violated: the University Sexual Harassment policy, the 'No Contact' directive and the IOA's Sept. 6, 2013, clarifying letter," Barcomb-Peterson said in an email.
A week after the hearing with IOA, Yeasin received the letter from the University expelling him.
Durham concluded Yeasin's conduct was a threat of danger to his ex-girlfriend, interfered with her learning and equal opportunity to participate and benefit from the University — all things Title IX protects, Barcomb-Peter-
The University expelled Yeasin under Article 19 of the Student Code of Conduct which reads, "While on University premises or at University sponsored or supervised events, or as required by city, state, or federal law, students and organizations are subject to disciplinary action for violations of published policies, rules and regulations of the University of Regents, and for the following offenses."
son said in an email.
"Because his conduct [the tweets] occurred off-campus and because the IOA's order violated his free speech rights, Navid filed an appeal with the University Judicial Board in December of 2013," Leibold said.
The offenses mentioned include offenses against persons, property and orderly process of the University, along with offenses by an organization.
The chairperson of the University Judicial Board dismissed Yeasin's appeal in February 2014 without allowing it to be heard by the full Judicial Board. The chairperson stated Yeasin "failed to allege a proper ground for appeal," Leibold said. This meant that Yeasin was still expelled from the University.
In March this year, Yeasin filed a petition for judicial review of the University's action with the Douglas County District Court.
On Sept. 26, Douglas County District Court Judge Fairchild agreed with Yeasin that the University didn't have jurisdiction to discipline for off-campus conduct. Judge Fairchild ordered Yeasin's expulsion be set aside and that he should be allowed to enroll for classes in spring 2015.
ENROLLMENT ATTEMPTS
Yeasin attempted to enroll two times and was denied
despite Judge Fairchild's decision. The University filed a motion for Judge Fairchild to reconsider his decision. The University also ordered that Judge Fairchild's decision would not be in effect until the post-judgment motions and any appeals have been decided. This decision to reconsider will be heard Nov. 17.
The post-judgments for the Nov. 17 hearing include Yeasin's motion for "order for payment of transcripts and to reimburse his tuition and his motion for an order to hold KU in contempt for not allowing him to enroll," Leibold said in an email. The University's motions are "for the judge to reconsider his decision and for a stay of the court's judgment pending the motion for reconsideration and any possible appeal," Leibold said in an email.
"Ive already done so much for this University by being an R.A. and doing Relay for Life and being a summer C.A. for them," Yeasin said. "The fact that they just don't care at all about my rights, and the fact that I haven't done anything wrong is really frustrating and it seems like no matter what we do they really don't care. It's kind of discouraging."
I understand they [the University] are under pressure under Title IX to enforce their rules, and I'm in support of that, but they have to do it between their own rules," Yeasin said. "The rules are in place to make sure that the University is safe, but I have to question the people who are enforcing the rules on what they're thinking."
Yeasin is majoring in petroleum engineering, and the University is the only school in Kansas with the major. He said he would like to put this matter behind him so he can return to class and graduate

SENATE FROM PAGE 1A
"It's been our goal ever since we got into office the first time—and then again especially after the second time we got into office," Admussen said. "You know, these rules aren't perfect they need to adapt every year, and we feel like the improvements we're making, make elections more fair and more transparent."
FIRST BILL: THE COMPLAINT PROCESS
thoughts.
Those running in the election can file complaints against the opposing coalitions if they believe a violation has been committed within Student Senate rules and regulations. Complaints are heard by the Elections Commission and if a candidate is found in violation of a rule, sanctions are implemented by the Elections Commission, resulting in possible disqualification.
The first bill presented entailed changing the complaint process during the duration of elections.
The changes would force complainants to submit complete complaints and the respondent has the right to know the entirety of the complaint, 24 hours in advance, so they have the ability to prepare a defense. Admussen said complaints should be complete to avoid overly used and frivolous complaints.
"So you can't just say, 'They violated this rule, turn it in, they violated this rule, turn it in.' That's an abuse, that's frivolous," Admussen said.
The bill also does not allow for the introduction of new evidence at the Elections Commission hearing by those presenting the complaint. They have to turn in all information and evidence with the complaint.
Admussen said he wanted the changes to reflect a fair judicial process.
Admussen said during last year's election the respondent would not receive a copy of the complaint before the hearing, just a notice that would include the rule that was allegedly violated.
"You can't come up with a surprise witness, because, again, that's not adequate time for the respondent to prepare a defense," Admussen said.
The bill would also make it possible for the Elections Commission to dismiss a complaint by a two-thirds vote if they feel the complaint doesn't have probable cause that the incidents actually occurred.
SECOND BILL: ELECTIONS COMMISSION REDEFINED
The proposed changes would create positions within the commission, like an outreach chair and a secretary. The Elections Commission includes five members, and they will now all have defined positions. This bill also mandated that the commission take minutes on all hearings, something they didn't do in the past.
The second election reform bill detailed the roles of members of the Elections Commission. Cota presented the bill and said he discussed possible changes with last year's Election Commission chair, Jake Rapp, and he suggested several ideas.
785.832.8228
944 Massachusetts Street
Along with creating positions within the Elections Commission, the bill also removed one key criteria for those allowed on the board. In previous years, the rules did not allow anyone who had ever worked for Senate or had been a senator in the past to serve on the Elections Commission.
Cota also said they overturned the rule twice last year to appoint the chair and another member who had been senators about six years ago.
They removed this because it is difficult to find those who are qualified and understand the senate rules and regulations that have never been associated with senate.

Daisy Hill halls to open year-round from 2015-16
JAMES LAMB
@ThejamesLamb
MORE INFORMATION
The 10 extra days residence and scholarship halls will be open next semester for free are:
Thanksgiving: 4 extra days
Spring: 6 extra days.
For the 2015-16 academic year and into the future, KU Student Housing is planning to provide greater options for student accommodation over breaks, such as opening up Daisy Hill year-round for students who choose to stay there.
Daisy Hill residence halls and Oliver Hall will be open 33 extra days for a cost. Oliver will be open over winter break for students in scholarship halls.
"Traditionally, we have had all residence halls and scholarship halls close over breaks, with the exception of McCollum," said Jennifer Wamelink, the associate director for residence life at KU Student Housing, "Next year, all residence halls and all scholarship halls will remain open over Thanksgiving Break and Spring Break. They will not close. Students will not need to sign up [to stay], they won't need to pay extra, it will just be included in the contract."
Wamelink also said the Daisy Hill residence halls and Oliver Hall on Naismith Drive will remain open for Winter Break as well, giving students an option to remain on campus over the holiday season.
Wamelink said students will be able to stay over Winter Break at an additional charge. She said since scholarship halls, GSP and Corbin close over the break, students in those communities can choose to move into Oliver Hall since it has rooms that aren't occupied, similar to McCollum.
These changes are driven by two factors. The first is the closing of
McCollum Hall at the end of the current academic year, where students can currently stay over breaks. The second is the expected increase in international undergraduates, many of whom live in residence halls and may not have elsewhere to go during these breaks.
JUSTIN HEATON McCollum RA
"Breaks are a time to spend with family and go home and take a break from school."
"In particular, there's a new program called the KU Academic Accelerator Program," Wamelink said. "It's a new program for international students, and we're expecting that our international student undergraduate [population] will dramatically increase over the next two years."
However, in order for these changes to be effective, some residence assistants in the residence halls may need to sacrifice their own breaks so the halls remain staffed.
opportunity for RAs to preference which breaks they would want to work, but RAs would be working over Thanksgiving Break, Spring Break and Winter Break," Wamelink said. "Not all of them at one time, but some staff members would be working over [those breaks]. It would probably not be an option to work none of the breaks."
"There would be an
Currently, working breaks is optional for RAs. Justin Heaton, a senior from St. Louis and a current McCollum RA, said he sees the change to making working breaks mandatory as unfair.
"Breaks are a time to spend with family and go home and take a break from school," he said. "I don't think it's in our job description to have to work breaks like that. There's going to be an issue too with divvying it up fairly because some RAs are going to be having to work on the holiday."

CONWAY SPRINGS — An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 4.8 shook parts of Kansas and Oklahoma on Wednesday, the largest since a series of temblors began rattling Kansas a little more than a year ago.
Earthquake shakes parts of Kansas, Oklahoma
The quake's epicenter was near the town of Conway Springs, about 25 miles south-west of Wichita, according to the U.S. Geological Survey said. It came at 3:40 p.m., less than a day after a magnitude 2.6 earthquake was recorded near the southern Kansas town of Anthony.
"It was a little spooky," Van Allen said.
Kansas Emergency Management spokeswoman Sharon Watson said the only reported damage was from an uprooted tree that cracked a home's foundation. No damage was reported in Oklahoma, said Keli Cain, a spokeswoman at the state's Department of Emergency Services.
walls and ground began shaking. It was earthquake he can recall feeling.
Just 15 miles from the epicenter, farmer Scott Van Allen was taking a break with a friend while remodeling his garage in Clearwater when the
Kansas began experiencing an upsurge in earthquakes starting in fall 2013. So far in 2014, the state has experienced more than 90 earthquakes, with the smallest registering only on monitors, said Interim Kansas Geological Survey director Rex Buchanan.
In Oklahoma, Andrea Hutchison was in a state Senate committee room at the Capitol discussing property rights issues with lawmakers and others. "I felt the earth move," Hutchison, of Canton, Oklahoma, said.
Studies have shown earthquakes can be caused when fluid, which is byproduct of various methods of oil and gas production, is injected into disposal wells. But a panel commissioned by Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback found there wasn't enough evidence to link the Kansas quakes to oil and gas exploration.

Irving Hill Road bridge construction delayed
traffic on the bridge for buses. The road will be open to all vehicle traffic; however, the changes were made specifically to maintain bus routes.
The University received approval from KDOT on Tuesday, Young said. The next steps for the project include finalizing updates to the construction drawings, followed by request bids from the Universities on-call contractors.
Construction to improve the railings and sidewalks on the bridge was scheduled to begin this month, but a delay in receiving approval from the Kansas Department of Transportation has set the project back. Young said.
Construction on Irving Hill Road Bridge will likely be delayed until late January or early February, said Gavin Young, assistant director of strategic communications for the University.
Issues with KDOT arose after a change to support two-way
The planned construction is still scheduled to take between eight to 12 weeks to complete, Young said.

Catcalling is not a compliment to women
By Victoria Calderon
@WriterVictoriaC
A CNN video segment about catcalling and a video by Hollabackl, an anti-street harassment group, went viral recently. Two different people with polarized points of view, Amanda Seales and Steve Santagati, went head-to-head about whether catcalling is an acceptable form of speaking to women. The verdict? It's not.
The Hollaback! video follows a woman through the streets of New York as she encounters random men who
shout things at her, like "God bless youami," "Hey baby" and "How you doing?" The fact that these strangers feel entitled to approach women on the street and objectify them is extremely insulting. Not only does it show that women are valued solely for their physical appearance, but it also makes for an uncomfortable environment. The atmosphere, especially in big cities, tends to be more oppressive for women.
In the CNN segment, Santagati begins a heated argument with Seales. He claims women love to be
complimented in this way, while stating-men shouldn't have to stop catcalling. He even says women should learn to stand up for themselves instead of telling catcallers to fix the problem.
"... the reality is that a lot of women, when we leave the house, we are not looking for compliments. We are not strolling the streets, waiting like, 'Is anyone gonna notice these pants today?' Seales said. Santagati's argument is problematic, not only because of his defense of catcallers, but because his main evidence is founded upon victim
blaming.
On our own campus, we have problems with catcalling that men clearly find to be "harmless" or even funny. For example, my roommate and I were walking to our hall one day when a guy yelled at her, "If your right leg was Christmas and your left leg was New Year's, could I visit you between the holidays?" While this encounter was more stupid than uncomfortable, I've had many other friends walk around campus at night who have men yelling out obscene things about their
bodies. Although rare during a typical day, it happens often on weekend nights, especially near the bars on 14th Street. No matter how asinine or childish the comment is, catcalling can still create a scary environment for a woman walking alone on the street. So if you see a woman (or anybody) walking down the street, and you think it would be cool or amusing to "holla" at them, don't.

Administrators misunderstand education
By Sebastian Schoneich
@ThingsSebiThink
Earlier this semester I wrote a piece on some of the ways college education is going awry. From grade inflation, extra credit, professors succumbing to unjustified student demands, etc., this is producing a frightening amount of graduates who know little of what they are supposed to have learned. Even worse, students are not only OK with that -- they desire it.
We are shaping the education system in such a way that we do not recognize the value of receiving a college education. With that kind of mentality in place, the following article I want
to respond to should not be surprising news.
An article that appeared in the Wall Street Journal on Nov. 6, titled "On B-School Test, U.S. Can't Compete With Asia" reveals that more and more Asians are getting into American MBA programs because of their higher Graduate Management Admission Test scores. In the quantitative skills section of the exam, Asians average 45 out of 51 points, while Americans are averaging a mere 33. If trends hold, there may soon be more Asians than Americans in American M.B.A. programs.
Why? Because Asians are better prepared than Americans for graduate school, especially with
respect to their quantitative reasoning skills. This doesn't mean Americans are doing things wrong — it could very well be that Asians focus too much on quantitative skills, while leaving other important aspects of education out. But this is not what I care to talk about. The following sentence in the article infuriates me:
"In response [to the decreasing academic quality of American students], admissions officers at U.S. schools are seeking new ways of measurement, to make U.S. students look better."
Aretheyserious? Addressing this issue by seeking "new ways of measurement" can also be read as "admissions officers at U.S. schools are seeking to avoid the
problem." What this reveals is a complete misunderstanding of education on behalf of education administrators. Those in charge of shaping education policies fail to recognize that the only way to address the decreasing competency of American college graduates is to critically examine the American education system itself — not the tools used to measure its efficacy.
It should be insulting to us — in fact, it is insulting — that instead of seeking to improve the education system, those in charge choose to hide its insufficiencies behind false notions of quality. Education reform, thus, needs to be addressed from two fronts: On one side, both students
and professors need to step up their game. On the other, administrators and politicians (those in charge) need to remove obstacles in the education system preventing students and teachers from maximizing their efforts. It is clear to me that both sides need to spend some time thinking about the concept of education itself. As a result, the education system will produce better students and we won't even have to pretend that they know what they're doing.

This Friday night, KU Theatre will debut its latest show,
"The Big Meal," on Stage Too! in Murphy Hall. University students will take on the roles of multiple characters across several generations in one family in this award-winning comedic drama from acclaimed playwright Dan LeFranc.
Duty calls. Work produces unforeseen benefits. Don't spend on frivolities. Watch out for hidden dangers. Develop a good habit. Eat well, and nurture strength and endurance. Keep the faith. Sacrifice or surrendering works wonders for your life.
'The Big Meal' set to satisfy audiences
"The Big Meal' is [about] a five-generation family set in ['Kansas']," said Jacquelyn O'Connor, a sophomore from Burlington who portrays Nicole, Maddie and Jackie at different points in the play. "It's a very heart-wrenching play, but it has a little bit of comedy in it. It's a great opportunity to see something different. The main thing is about family, so I feel like a lot of people can relate to it."
love life.
Kevin Siess, a senior from Lawrence who will be playing
have for people to come together and share in a communal experience.
"The issues that it deals with are not just basic issues, but they're universal issues: life, death, new family members, conflict, avoidance, love, marriage," Siess said. "There are so many issues that are covered in this play that everybody's bound to relate to it in some sense."
both Sam and Robbie, said the play is done in such a way that he thinks everybody can take something away from it.
Though he said he agreed the issues presented in the play are important, Director Dr. Peter Zazzali also said the distinctive way in which the play is crafted is a key draw point. In "The Big Meal," characters move from actor to actor, as the character being portrayed ages through the decades that span the play's 90-minute run time.
"What makes this play particularly unique is its form, the way it's written," Zazzali said.
"For example, there are a couple of actors who play the older track, so they'll play the characters as they're getting older, while conversely there are a pair of actors that play characters when they're younger," Zazzali said. "You'll be seeing the same character played by different actors as that particular character makes his or her way through life."
SHOW DATES
He said there are nine actors, and many of them play at least one of the five different roles that are repeated.
Though the play is a comedic drama, those involved said there are some serious and dramatic moments within the play that are heavily loaded with emotion, which is something the actors found out through the rehearsal process.
"When you deal with tragedy and death in life, a lot of people, and I'm one of those, usually put those feelings down in a place you don't want to explore that often, and through this process, some of those feelings I've had from people I've lost in my family and tragedies that have occurred, they kind of resurface," Siess said. "You don't want to let your feelings overcome your character, but it's almost impossible to explore some of those emotions without having to look at yourself and how you dealt with them in your life, and that can be scary."

them and they were unintentionally hilarious. We would have screening parties for our friends."
By 2004, the duo had amassed enough secondhand material to change its show's venue from a dorm to a theater. The setup of the show is simple. Pickett and Prueher take the stage and give the audience a guided tour through selected videos.
"We offer a running commentary," Prueher said. "Sometimes the videos speak for themselves. Sometimes we'll point out things that we have noticed from watching them dozens of times."
Prueher said one of the most fun parts of the job is discovering new footage. When the two arrive in a city to do a show, they spend the day scouting thrift stores for new tapes. He said the two will go digging, and will look to see if there is anything that sticks out or looks interesting.
By the end of a trip, Pickett and Prueher have collected quite an eclectic stack of dusty VHS tapes.
"The fun part is finding," Prueher said. "The hard part is sitting down and locking ourselves in an apartment and trying to get through as much [footage] as we can without going nuts."
Pickett and Prueher look for a couple of characteristics when choosing new footage. Prueher said a key quality is that it has to be unintentionally funny.
"Whatever it's trying to do, we have to be appreciating it in a different way than was intended," he said. "We also gravitate towards people who have a lot of ambition even if they don't have a lot of talent. There's something great about that combination that makes it very endearing and very entertaining."
Prueher said his favorite clip changes, but the video he most enjoys from the current show is entitled "How to Have Cybersex on the Internet." He said it's an instructional video from 1997 that a company from Minnesota made and the video tried to be both sexy and informational, but it ends up being neither.
"We reunited two people
"It's very confusing," he said. "There's a young woman who's teaching you how to get a chat name and sign into a chat room, and all of the sudden she's topless. Then all of the sudden she has a modem problem. It's incongruous and odd I've never seen anything like it before."
CLIPS FROM THE SHOW
The show celebrated its 10th anniversary earlier this year and Prueher said the show has changed over the years. Now that the two know there is an audience behind the program, they go to great lengths to find the people behind the videos they are sharing. Prueher said they will fly out to interview people and play the interviews at the show.
Totally Tulip: A woman in a painted sweatshirt works out in the ambitious opening music video to "Totally Tulip," a 1988 fabric painting instructional tape.
Nick Prueher. "Totally Tulip is full of crude video effects, pastel sweatshirts and an irritating song that just won't end. It's like 1988 just threw up on the screen."
I'll stick to the facts. The image shows a woman with short, curly hair, wearing a dark top and light-colored pants. She is smiling and pointing with her fingers at her face. There are no visible texts or logos in the image.
Facercize: Carole Maggio, the host of the 1996 facial workout video "Facercize," tightens and tones her cheek muscles.
Prueher: "Funny faces are always hilarious, especially when performed by a woman who's trying to be serious."
JOHN & JOHNNY
Prueher: "John and Johnny are two of the most obnoxious home shopping hosts ever to appear on television. They are so hyperactive on screen they're constantly fumbling over their words and dropping things. It's pure slapstick!"
John and Johnny: Hyperactive home shopping hosts John and Johnny promote Christmas items in newly unearthed footage from the Wisconsin-based America's Value Network (c. 1987).

from this home shopping show that we found on VHS back in the early '00s," he said. "They hadn't seen each other in 26 years. We flew one guy from Seattle all the way down to Tampa, Fla. It was pretty magical."
This reunion can be seen at Sunday's show as well.
Pickett and Prueher have a few plans for the future of the Found Footage Festival as well. Prueher said they are working on a TV show based on the festival, and that they want to tour Australia next. Another plan is to put together-
er a coffee table book of their favorite VHS covers. However, the two said they truly love what they are doing now.
"As long as we're able to tour around the country and do a show-and-tell for people, that's really the most gratifying part for us," Preeher said.
The Found Footage Festival accepts submissions. If someone has something to share with Pickett and Prueher, they invite them to bring it to the show.

Marilyn Monroe's lost love letters to be auctioned
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. It's no secret Joe DiMaggio loved Marilyn Monroe. The baseball great cried at her funeral and for 20 years had flowers placed at her crypt several times a week.
The public displays were unusual for the famously stoe and private DiMaggio. Now, his heartbreak over the breakup of their marriage will get a rare public airing when "Marilyn Monroe's Lost Archives" goes up for bid at Julien's Auctions in Beverly Hills next month.
"I love you and want to be with you," DiMaggio said in one pained letter to Monroe from the collection, written when she announced she was filing for divorce after a matter of months in 1954. "There is nothing I would like better than to restore your confidence in me."
The 300 items also include love letters from Monroe's third and final husband, playwright Arthur Miller. There's also a handwritten letter from Monroe to Miller in which the woman who was arguably Hollywood's greatest sex symbol muses about her many insecurities.
DiMaggio wrote in his letter that he learned Monroe was leaving him when he saw her make the announcement on television.
"My heart split even wider seeing you cry in front of all these people," he wrote in the letter addressed to "Mrs. Joe DiMaggio" and mailed special delivery.
Other letters in the collection come from such friends as Clark Gable, Cary Grant and Jane Russell, the latter imploring Monroe in 10 neatly handwritten pages to give her marriage to DiMaggio another chance.
"It really gives you the chills when you read some of the stuff and see the intimacy and the personal nature of it," said auction curator Martin Nolan, who spent nine months organizing and cataloging the collection.
Auction owner Darren Julien estimates the pieces could fetch $1 million or more, noting a watercolor Monroe painted and planned to give to President John Kennedy went for $80,000 at an estate auction nine years ago. Monroe's "collectability" has skyrocketed in recent years, driven in part by deep-pocketed Asian and European collectors with a fondness for American pop-culture artifacts, he said.
The fact that the centerpiece of this collection is not just celebrity tochotkes but deeply personal artifacts is also expected to fuel interest.
"We anticipate a lot of fans will be here. They'll fly in from all over the world," said Julien, who will put the items on display to the public at his Beverly Hills gallery for four days before they go on the block Dec. 5-6.
Monroe, who died of a drug overdose at age 36 in 1962, willed "The Lost Archives" to her mentor, the legendary acting coach Lee Strasberg. He gave it to a friend he trusted would take proper care.
That friend's family, which Julien said wants to remain anonymous, obviously met Strasberg's expectations. Many of the letters look as pristine as the day their authors wrote them.
"Please, if I've ever made you cry or made you even more sadder, ever for a second, please forgive me, my perfect girl. I love you." Miller wrote in a pencil-scribbed P.S. at the bottom of a typewritten letter.
In a reply to one of his missives, Monroe takes issue with what the author of "Death of a Salesman" had called her nobility in handling a difficult childhood followed by public adulation that nearly crushed her.
"In other words, there was no choice to make, the same road was always before me," she wrote. "So for you to speak of my nobility, it really wasn't so noble."
She went on to say: "It's doubly difficult to understand that you, the most different, most beautiful human being, chose me to love."
Other items in the collection include a 19-minute reel of a movie made for Monroe after her final picture, 1961's "The Misfits," wrapped. It shows her flicking happily at the beach with co-star Gable and others.
Notably, there's also a framed letter she kept on her coffee table from costume designer Cecil Beaton, who assured her she really was a fine actress.
"It's fantastic to see how loved she was," Nolan said. "Like you thought she was vulnerable and not loved and she craved love and she needed that reassurance. But she had it. She had it with Joe DiMaggio. She had it with Arthur Miller."
And, so it seems, she still has it with much of the rest of the world.

George Bush, George W. Bush want Jeb Bush run for president

"I can tell you I can speak for 41," Bush said, referring to the 41st president, George H.W. Bush, during the official launch of the 43rd president's book at his dad's presidential library center at Texas A&M University. "He ought to run for president. He would make a great president."
Former President George W. Bush discusses his new book "41: A Portrait of My Father" at his father's George H.W.Bush Presidential Library, Tuesday, Nov. 11 in College Station, Texas.
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Former President George W. Bush said Tuesday that he and his father believe Jeb Bush should run for president but ultimately the former Florida governor must make a decision regardless of any pressure from the family.
"The idea of 'Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama, Bush' troubles him, which speaks to his great integrity," George W. Bush said of the succession of recent presidents. "So I said: 'How does this sound? Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama, Clinton,'" George W. Bush added, referring to the potential presidential run of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
"We can pressure him all we want, but it's not going to matter. ... You can't pressure somebody on such an important decision. It's not going to cause him to think positively or negatively if we all continue to harass him. Only he can decide."

With his father and mother a few feet from him in the front row of an auditorium filled with a friendly audience of several hundred people, Bush was responding to questions from Andrew Card, his father's transportation secretary and his own White House chief of staff, primarily about his personal book "41: A Portrait of My Father." The older Bush, seated in a wheelchair, smiled and waved but did not speak at the event.
George W. Bush said he didn't know of any timetable for a decision, but said from speaking with his brother he knows Jeb Bush "doesn't like the idea of a political class."
take on his father's early failures in politics, his decision to go to war with Iraq in 1991 and the 1992 re-election loss to Bill Clinton. In the book, he says his father seriously considered not even running for re-election, despite loving his job, because he thought holding the presidency had placed son Neil under undue legal scrutiny for his role as a director of a large Colorado-based savings and loan that failed in the late 1980s.
The book includes personal anecdotes, including how the elder Bush, described as "a
family man first," struggled with the death of daughter Robin from leukemia in 1953 and how his dad sobbed at the hospital nursery glass following the birth six years later of daughter Dorothy.
He dismissed Tuesday as "psychobabble" any suggestions of friction between presidential father and president son and credited his dad with serving as an example for when he got to the White House.
"You never know until you get there," he said. "He helped a by checking in on occasion."

University prepares for campus concealed carry
MADDIE FARBER
@Maddie FarberIDK
According to the Kansas Board of Regents, University building assessments were recently completed to prepare for concealed carry on campus by 2017.

The University has recently completed building assessments to prepare for the implementation of concealed carry on campus by 2017, said Breeze Richardson, director of communications for the Kansas Board of Regents. There are 199 buildings on campus, according to KU Information.
+
In April 2013, Gov. Sam Brownback signed into law a measure to allow weapons into public buildings that don't have certain types of security measures, such as metal detectors or trained guards. Kansas is now one of seven states with provisions allowing for concealed carry on public college campuses, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
Although all six state universities in Kansas were granted a four-year exemption, the Kansas Board of Regents directed universities to conduct building-by-building assessments at their campuses.
"Each university is examining each building, assessing its use(s), number of public entrances, etc," Richardson said. "Any building in which the university would like to prohibit firearms will need to have adequate security in place, meaning metal detectors and security guards on all public entrances."
Stadiums and other athletic facilities, dorms, childcare centers and research labs where flammable chemicals are in use are some examples of places where discussions have been taking place regarding what the best decision might be, she said.
Unless the law changes, the current exception from the state law regarding concealed carry will expire in 2017.
Richardson said. This would mean that those with concealed carry permits would be allowed to carry their weapons on university campuses after that time. Richardson also said building assessments are the first step to making this law a reality.
"Coming out of assessments [of buildings on campus] there will be pretty serious conversations about what next steps will look like," Richardson said. "Unless the law changes, we will have to continue with conceal and carry on campuses."
"I think that I would trust whoever had a permit, but it's just kind of strange to know that there are guns around me."
SARAH MILLER Senior from Olathe
Richardson said all six state universities will present their annual safety reports to the Governance Committee of the Board of Regents this month through January. However, this year is different because reports will include a building audit that was conducted in order to better understand what the security of these buildings looks like. The presentations will be completed in February, she said.
"There is the possibility that the Board of Regents could appeal to the state legislature regarding the permanent exemption of certain types of buildings, but no decision to do so has been made at this time," Richardson said. "Learning more about our 850-plus buildings across the six campuses and their uses is where the process is at now."
As director of state relations at the University, Lindsey Douglas said her role in this process is to continue monitoring changes to state statutes and educating lawmakers on the effect this legislation will have on the University.
Douglas said with the potential for concealed carry, funding for metal detectors and personnel has come into question.
"At this time, no state funding has been appropriated to fund additional security measures for university buildings," Douglas said.
"Once recommendations and plans for implementation are finalized, funding for improvements will have to be identified."
For many University students, the thought of firearms allowed on campus is unsettling. This is not unusual, considering in 2013 there were at least 27 shootings on or near college campuses around the nation, according to a Huffington Post article from January. Eighteen people were reported dead due to the shootings and many others were injured, the Huffington Post reported.
The thought of concealed
carry permits on campus creates mixed emotions for Sarah Miller, a senior from Olathe.
"I think that I would trust whoever had a permit, but it's just kind of strange to know that there are guns around me," Miller said.
For other students like Sam Benson, a junior from Overland Park, the issue seems to be more black and white.
"I think allowing concealed carry on campus is a poor idea," Benson said. "Students and staff would be overly aware of the fact that potentially anyone possesses a deadly weapon. On
a college campus — especially on a college campus - that will be detrimental to the perceived safety of everyone studying and working there."
On the concern for safety, Richardson said, "As the governing board of the university, the Board of Regents is an active participant in the conversation regarding campus safety."
With more on-campus safety regarding concealed carry, the University Office of Public Safety was not available for comment at this time.

Lawrence ranked No.13 for top college towns
MAEGAN BULL
@Maegan Bull
Last month the American Institute of Economic Research released its annual college destination index, ranking Lawrence No. 13 out of 20 for best college towns in the U.S. — the first college town on the list being Ithaca, N.Y., with Logan, Utah-Idaho ranked No. 20.
According to its website, AIER ranks the top 75 metro areas for college students in the U.S.
"The index compares each location's overall economic and academic environment, quality of life and employment opportunities," according to the website.
AIER focused specifically on four different categories: student life, culture, economic health and opportunity.
"KU benefits greatly from being located in Lawrence, as the community is very attractive to prospective students and employees," said Jack Martin, director of strategic communications at the University. "So for
Lawrence to be recognized as a top college town is positive news, as the future of Lawrence and KU are closely connected."
For sophomore Logan Williams the results of the study were not surprising.
"I have always been a KU fan since I was a child and I love the campus," he said. "I knew that Lawrence has a fun night life too."

Students make blankets for Lawrence Community Shelter

Students involved with Blanketing the Community craft a blanket in this photo from last year's event. The annual program at the University allows students to make blankets for the Lawrence Community Shelter.
MINSEON KIM
@MinseonKim94
Blanketing the Community is an annual program at the University, where students living in residence halls make fleece blankets for the Lawrence Community Shelter. Students will make blankets and have snacks at the Hashinger Hall Theater and Crawford Community Center on Sunday from 6 to 9 p.m.
This year, the Concerned, Active and Aware Students program from the Center for Community Outreach is restarting the partnership with the KU National Residence Hall Honorary that organized last year's event. Materials and instructions for blankets will be provided, and all blankets will be transferred and distributed at the Lawrence Community Shelter.
Cody Christensen, CAAS student coordinator and a sophomore to Topeka, said homelessness isn't an abstract issue in Lawrence, and serving as a CAAS coordinator came as an opportunity for him to give back to the community.
"I realized about the social inequalities that exist in Douglas County and after reading the data on paper. I really wanted to see this issue firsthand to see if I could make a difference in solving it or help contribute to at least minimizing the problem." Christensen said. "I think volunteering is a great way we can, that KU as a whole, can really benefit Douglas County."
During the weekly CAAS volunteering, Christensen found out about the major shortage of blankets at the local shelter and worked with his co-
coordinator Abby Schletzbaum to organize this program.
Mia Gonzalez, director of development and marketing at the Lawrence Community Shelter, said with 140 people in the shelter every day, blanket donations are a big help to the shelter.
"We are unable to purchase our own blankets," Gonzalez said. "We are always in need of blankets all year round. But now that it's winter, it's colder in general so we have more people and we run out of supplies."
The Lawrence Community Shelter is the only 24/7 emergency homeless shelter serving Douglas County, and it provides various programs for families and help for finding employment. With its move to a new location, 3655 E. 25th St., it is able to hold twice as many families, but also needs more blankets for permanent and overnight residents.
CAAS will donate the blankets after the event next week during its regular weekly volunteering at the Lawrence Community Shelter. No sign-ups are required, and ride requests are available at the Kansas Union at 3:45 p.m for students to get to the shelter.
Makalya Reed, a freshman from Stockton, is a regular volunteer for CAAS and said she is looking forward to meeting other service-minded students at the event. Reed is also donating 45 additional quilts her mom made.
"My mom has been making charity quilts for as long as I can remember," Reed said. "She sends them to Denver, Kansas City, Mo., places with large homeless populations because the quilts provide comfort and a lot of the times, they provide a lot of warmth, especially during these months."
Reed also said volunteering
can teach college students life lessons that classes cannot teach.
"It makes us more aware of those around us," Reed said. "We can't really be aware of the human condition unless we go out and see people who are experiencing difficulties or just come from different walks of life. I think volunteering really allows people to do that."
Volunteering weekly at the Lawrence Community shelter, Reed said she loves spending time with kids there.
"I just really like volunteering with people," Reed said. "I guess I've been always volunteering, and I got the spirit from watching my mom make the quilts and helping her out. I've always looked up to her for doing that, and I am glad that I can help her out spreading the quilts around more."

Budget cuts could impact higher education
ALLISON KITE
@Allie_Kite
Higher education is one part of the state budget facing potential cuts because of a $279 million shortfall.
the November consensus revenue estimate, which is created by legislative researchers and university economists, indicates a $279 million gap between projected revenues and approved expenditures in the Kansas budget. This gap has to be made up by June 30 because the state is constitutionally prohibited from ending the fiscal year with a deficit.
"We just have to make better use of the resources we already have."

Annie McKay, executive director of Kansas Center for Economic Growth, said she believes this will be the primary issue dealt with in the upcoming legislative session. Options to make up the money could include transfers of money out of highway department reserves, budget cuts and seizing of other efficiencies or savings of state departments.
"To absorb those reductions mid-year is really challenging" McKay said. "They have contracts in place. They have personnel. They have wages they have to pay. They have benefits. They have to keep the lights on."
Dave Trabert, president of the Kansas Policy Institute said the highway department and other departments have unnecessary excess cash reserves that could be dipped into to fill up the hole. He went on to say that if departments statewide were to operate more efficiently, the gap could be filled easily.
"The plan has always been laid out there that it can be done without reducing services or a tax increase," he said. "We just have to make better use of the resources we already have."
However, Duane Goosen, former budget director for the state, said dipping into cash reserves would be only a temporary fix. He said the real solution is to reverse tax cuts implemented in 2012 and 2013.
"Another possibility that might be used would be to take money from the state highway fund," he said. "That might be a solution — a temporary solution — for this year, but that doesn't fix things next year."

Professor: Epidemics like Ebola test humanity
DEREK SKILLETT
@derek_skillett
Wednesday night, students and spectators listened to University professors discuss the different facets of the Ebola crisis, such as societal implications, psychological factors and an insight into the spread of the virus.
The panel, called The Ebola Outbreak in Wider Perspective, was sponsored by the University's Kansas African Studies Center. The discussion took place in the Malott Room of the Kansas Union and was open to the public.
"I saw a billboard advertising [the panel] in Wescoe or Strong. I wanted to see what they would talk about," said Nestine Olidan, a freshman from Junction City. "I'm not sure how [Ebola] spreads and I want to get more educated on it."
Olidan said people should be aware of the correct information about Ebola.
Ebenezer Obadare, an associate professor of sociology, discussed the societal implications of the crisis. Glenn Adams, an associate professor of psychology, discussed the different psychological factors that have made the Ebola crisis a complicated issue. And Sandra Gray, an associate professor of anthropology, discussed how the virus was able to spread through Africa.
Obadare, who was the first of the three professors to speak, talked about the socioeconomic aspects surrounding the Ebola outbreak. Obadare said epidemics can reveal several details about a particular society, such as gender relations, division of power, religious beliefs, class
relations, cultural phobias and social solidarity. He also described how epidemics can challenge core values of people.
"Part of what an epidemic does is it tests our humanity," Obadare said.
He said there are currently more Liberian doctors in the United States than in Liberia, one of the countries most affected by Ebola.
"These little perspective judgments that we make, especially in the United States, are inflicted with fear, ignorance or racism."
GLENN ADAMS Associate professor
Obadare closed his presentation by talking about the ways people who are living in the countries affected by Ebola tell jokes about the virus.
"The jokes are important because in places where people face the worst forms of degradation, jokes are the only things left for people to recuperate basic humanity," Obadare said.
Gray talked about tracing the spread of the Ebola virus. Gray said the virus was largely concentrated in rainforests in the Western Congo region and the first outbreak of the virus occurred in the Ebola River in 1976. Gray said the virus was able to be spread through refugees and groups of people moving westward through the rainforest.
Gray also said the virus has been spread by people eating infected animals in the rainforest.
"There has been sustained global disengagement in this region since the Rwandan genocide of 1994. The disengagement has paid off in a major way in an outbreak that also is manifesting global disengagement," Gray said.
Adams, the last panelist to speak, had a presentation which focused on the psychological factors that have emerged from the outbreak. Adams said people in West Africa are suspicious of international aid workers who arrive with health campaigns.
Adams said factors such as fear and irrationality cause some people to get in the way of actually helping other people. Adams referred to something called "the compassion gap," which refers to the amount of time between which an event occurs and when people care enough to take action.
"These little perspective judgments that we make, especially in the United States, are inflected with fear, ignorance or racism. This seems to be another one of those cases," said Adams.
Jordan Fisher, a senior from Hays, said she was inspired to attend the panel after hearing Adams, her cultural psychology teacher, mention it. Fisher said she thinks Ebola is an important topic of discussion because it is a huge issue right now.
"People should know what to do if it becomes an issue in our area." Fisher said.

Endowment receives $8.1 million grant for new plane
ALICIA GARZA
@AliciaoftheUDK
KU Endowment has been given a grant of $8.1 million for the University to fund a new plane.
The University's future plane will have many of the same functions as the previous plane, which has been in service for the past 17 years, said Jack Martin, the PR representative of the University.
The University's plane has been used half of the time for medical outreach trips, and has also been used for travel by athletics, administrators, student recruitment and the Alumni Association.
"The ability to have your doctor to come and see you, and to see a specialist in your
own hometown is really quite special, and it's something we can provide to the people of Kansas as a result of the support we have from the Endowment Association," Martin said. "This is all private funds, not taxpayer or tuition funds is being used to purchase the plane."
The new plane, which will be a Cessna jet, like the old one, will seat seven passengers and cost a little under $7 million, said Dale Seuferling, president of KU Endowment. Endowment also provided the grant for the previous airplane in 1997, which was purchased for $4.3 million.

Seuferling said.
"Two years ago, we started working with the University on a study on replacement aircraft, keeping in mind the
The new Cessna will have improved avionics and radar system for weather conditions. It will have improvements to the safety conditions, in addition to being more fuel efficient, Seuferling said.

After reports of the European Fireball whiskey recall, many believed that the North American version of the whiskey contained higher amounts of propylene glycol, an ingredient found in antifreeze. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the chemical has been deemed safe for consumption since 1973.
The European Fireball whiskey recall sent social media spheres into a frenzy just over two weeks ago after reports that the North American version had been sent on accident and contained higher levels of propylene glycol, an ingredient commonly found in antifreeze, than Scandinavian countries allow.
Propylene glycol had been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration since 1973, according to the FDA's access data website, and deemed safe for consumption; however, Finland, Sweden and Norway say the European Fireball whiskey contains higher percentages of the chemical than European regulations allow.
Tama Sawyer, the director of Poison Control Center at the University of Kansas Hospital, said ingestion of propylene glycol is almost non-toxic.
"It's used in medicines all the time," Sawyer said. "Worst case, if you're drinking straight propylene glycol, which you're not going to drink, it could cause some diarrhea."
Sawyer said she is unsure why Norway, Sweden and Finland would ban the drink.
"The alcohol is probably the deadliest thing in the drink, and everybody's fully aware that it contains alcohol," Sawyer said.
Jakob Langberg Vingren, an associate professor at the University of North Texas, said this is simply a case where the cut-off limit in Europe is much lower than that of the U.S.

Dangling window washers rescued from World Trade Center
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
A firefighter looks out an opening cut into a glass window at 1 World Trade Center after rescuing two workers from their collapsed scaffold in New York on Wednesday.
NEW YORK - Two window washers were trapped on a dangling scaffold nearly 70 stories up the new 1 World Trade Center tower for nearly two hours on Wednesday before firefighters sawed through a thick double-paned window to reach them.
The dramatic rescue, coming a little more than a week after the nation's tallest building officially opened, was followed by throngs of New Yorkers on the ground and many more around the world watching on live TV.
World Trade Center.
It was unclear whether the scaffold had been used on the 1,776-foot, 104-story skyscraper before or whether anything about the building's design complicates working a scaffold there. Officials stressed that firefighters had trained for various emergencies at the tower, the centerpiece of the rebuilt
The window washers, Juan Lizama and Juan Lopez, were working on the lower Manhattan building's south side at around 12:40 p.m. when one of the platform's four cables abruptly developed slack, Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro said. The opentopped platform tilted sharply and swayed slightly in the wind between the 68th and 69th floors, he said.
"It suddenly went from horizontal to nearly vertical," he said.
Indeed, a fire department photo shot from inside the building shows the scaffold platform hanging precipitously, with the Statue of Liberty appearing tiny in the distance.
Officials haven't determined what caused the cable problem. The cables are controlled from the scaffold vehicle, the fire commissioner said.
About 100 firefighters rushed to the skyscraper, some of them lowering ropes from the roof so the workers could secure themselves and a two-way radio for them to communicate, Nigro said. The workers also were harnessed to the platform.
Firefighters first used diamond cutters to saw through part of a two-layered, inch-thick glass window on the 68th floor, which is still under construction. They shattered the thick glass in place, then carefully pulled the broken pieces into the building.
Firefighters also began inching another scaffold down the building as a backup rescue plan, but they were able to bring the workers to safety through the roughly 4-by-8-foot window hole by 2:30 p.m.
"It was a fairly straightforward operation," said Battalion Chief Joseph Jardin, who oversees the
fire department's special operations.
Mayor Bill de Blasio praised rescuers for "great coordination."
Firefighters generally seek
to cut out windows to make such rescues, but Nigro noted the trade center's thick glass: a double-paned inner layer and an outer pane.
"And, of course, they were
68 stories up," he said. "That presented a little bit more of a challenge."
Lizama and Lopez were checked out at a hospital and were released.
Their union, Service Employees International Union Local 32BJ, said it makes sure workers follow rigorous safety protocols.
"Workers are offered the training they need to be safe every day and in the event of an accident," President Hector Figueroa said in a statement.
During the rescue, people on the ground were moved back in case glass began flying. Office workers and construction workers streamed onto a nearby street, their necks craning to watch the scaffold as it waved in the wind.

Arctic chill settles across Upper Midwest, Rockies
ASSOCIATED PRESS
A child is running on a snowy street. The background shows parked cars and trees covered in snow.
DETROIT — The Arctic chill is gripping the Rockies and Upper Midwest — and it's crawling east.
THE LINGERING COLD
Sharp drops in temperature are expected in other parts of the U.S. in the coming days, thanks to a powerful weather system that hit Alaska with hurricane-force winds over the weekend before blanketing several states in snow.
Dangerously cold weather was expected to linger until Thursday in eastern Montana, where temperatures could reach as low as negative 30 degrees. Denver's high was only 5 degrees on Wednesday, a day after the snow-covered city broke a nearly century-old record for the lowest temperature ever recorded on a Nov. 11.
The frigid air was expected to crawl into the Appalachians, mid-South and the East Coast by Thursday. Forecasters have issued freeze and cold-weather warnings across parts of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.
In Billings, Montana, where temperatures fell from the high 60s into the single digits on Tuesday, Patsy Kimmel said she was warned about the weather before arriving from Oklahoma to celebrate her 70th birthday with family.
"Yesterday I was wearing sandals and a short-sleeve shirt, and today I'm wearing a coat and scarf and turtleneck and sweatshirt and gloves," she said.
Temperatures fell more than 30 degrees overnight in northern Illinois, from a high of 58 on Tuesday to 26 degrees on Wednesday. Similar swings hit Oklahoma City, where temperatures went from 80 degrees Monday to a low of 30 on Tuesday.
In the Dakotas, wind chills made it feel like 20 below in some places. But that was good news for Action Mechanical Inc. of Rapid City, South Dakota, a heating and ventilation business that was doing booming trade.
"Bang! We get this arctic blast, and it just opens the floodgates," said John Hammond Jr., a department head. "We're behind right now as we're sitting here talking."
SNOW. SNOW AND MORE SNOW
Parts of Michigan's Upper Peninsula were buried in more than 3 feet of snow on Wednesday, with more snow forecast through the weekend, along with temperatures that dipped in the 20s and 30s. Up to 18 inches fell in northern Wisconsin, while parts of central Minnesota saw more than 16 inches of snow.
Many roads were snow-covered and slippery Wednesday in the Upper Peninsula, where residents are accustomed to snowy conditions. Of his drive
into work, National Weather Service meteorologist Justin Titus said that roads were "just rutted out and kind of felt like you were driving over a washboard."
DON'T BLAME THE POLAR VORTEX
Meteorologists are adamant the weather isn't because of the polar vortex, a giant upper air pattern that normally pens in cold air in the Arctic in the winter. Instead, they say it's being pushed in by a different weather phenomenon more related to the remnants of a powerful typhoon.
"The polar vortex itself has not moved south. It's still in the Arctic where it always is," said National Weather Service spokeswoman Susan Buchanan.
The early wintry weather in the Midwest gave Principal Lynn Grewing an opportunity to test a virtual classroom: She asked students of St. Cloud Cathedral high school in central Minnesota to work from home using laptops or iPads.
Whatever the case, the cold is expected to linger. Some regions will go from record warm to record cold in just two days, with temperatures dropping 15 to 20 degrees below normal on the East Coast Friday and Saturday. Freezing temperatures will likely dip as far south as Atlanta on Friday, said Jeff Masters, meteorology director of the Weather Underground.

Grewing said her students' cherished snow days are now a thing of the past.
"This is what we will be doing every single snow day going forward," she said. "I'll be honest. There has been some grumbling."
Private schools such as Cathedral, as well as some public school districts nationwide, are starting to use the flexibility that technology provides to meet school mandates without needing makeup days when bad weather keeps students at home.
Cathedral senior Tommy Auger said doing classwork at home using his school-provided MacBook Air didn't feel very different to a day in class. Once they got over the initial disappointment of missing a snow day off, Auger said he and his classmates agreed they would rather skip a day of sledding than make up the missed school days in the summer.
"It's hard to think ahead, but it's definitely better," he said.

Previously reserved for student seating, section U in Allen Fieldhouse is now a section for Williams' Education Fund donors. Originally said to be reallocated, KU Athletics recently announced that the seats were removed entirely.

STUDENT SECTION
120 fieldhouse student seats, previously said to be reallocated, permanently cut for donors in section U
@KylePap
LKYLE PAPPAS
The Kansas basketball student section has long been considered among the best in the nation. It won the Nismith Student Section of the Year award in 2012 and played a major part in NCAA.com naming Allen Fieldhouse the loudest and most intimidating arena in the nation last December.
But that section has taken a bit of a hit this year, following a decision made by Kansas Athletics to permanently ax 120 student seats.
Some of Kansas students' most valued space in section U, which is adjacent to the Jayhawks' bench, became available to University donors this summer after a Student Senate proposal to remove the required $50 athletics fee that all students pay each year. Though the total elimination of the fee was eventually vetoed by KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little, it was still reduced to only $7 per student — the lowest fee of any university in Kansas.
In an attempt to recoup as much lost revenue as possible, the Athletics Department reallocated the student seating in section U to wealthy donors.
CHANGE IN PLANS
Initially, those 120 seats were set to simply be moved an alternate area that Associate Athletic Director Jim Marchiony described as, "near where the students are now that may have been sold as General Admission in the past." But in a recent change of events, the department decided to permanently cut the seats from the
remaining student section.
Student Body President Morgan Said said the Student Senate originally raised the issue because it felt students "shouldn't be required to pay an athletic fee to help keep Kansas Athletics federally compliant with Title IX regulations." She also said she was unaware athletics would respond to the reduction in the fee by taking section U away from the students.
student seats was in lieu of several other options that Kansas Athletics discussed — one of which was drastically raising the price of the student sports package. Even with the ultimate decision to give donors seating in section U, the All-Sports Combo still increased from $150 to $175 this semester.
With a 7-percent increase in its budget this year. Athletics projects $84.2 million in revenue, according to Said.
"It's unfortunate that Kansas Athletics deemed it necessary to eliminate some of the best student seats in the Fieldhouse to compensate for the minor cut in student fees," she said. "The student fee cut was a very small fraction of the overall budget."
"There are other ways to bring in revenue without taking from the students that pay thousands of dollars a year to attend."
"It's the only part of the student section that sits courtside and closest to the court," said Luke Miller, a senior from Wichita. "In my opinion, they were the best seats available to us."
The decision to do away with student seating in section U has upset many students who consider the seats to be among the top that were accessible to them.
Marchiony said the athletics department is aware of the student response, saying the reaction has been "about what we expected." He also noted that the department stands to lose approximately $350,000 from the reduction of the fee; he expects it'll regain roughly $180,000 of that back by making section U available to donors.
announcement that the seats would no longer be designated from students, donors showed significant interest. Marchiony said it didn't take long for the section to sell out.
"The way to try to recover as much revenue as we could, by affecting the fewest number of people was to do it this way," Marchiony said. "We essentially affected 120 people, and that was the fewest amount of people we could affect by doing anything. And so, that's what we did."
Rudy Manes, a '92 KU graduate, is part of a group of Williams Fund donors that was excited to have the opportunity to grab some of the newly
"The section filled up quickly," he said. "As soon as the donors knew it was going to be available, there were requests for seats. Within weeks, there were enough requests to fill the section."
LUKE MILLER Senior from Wichita
The move to reallocate the
Beginning in early June, section U became officially available to Williams Education Fund donors. The fund, composed of various Kansas alumni and fans, raises around $18 million for KU student-athletes each year. While most priority seating for Williams Fund donors bases off of lifetime donations, section U works a bit differently. In order to encourage contributions in the short-term, Athletics only took donors' current amount of giving into consideration when determining who had priority.
PLEASING THE DONORS
The initiative succeeded. Immediately following the
Even with the reallocation of section U seating, Marchiony stressed that no student who wants to get into a Jayhawks home game will be denied that chance.
NOBODY TURNED AWAY?
rative than the one given on Kansas' website, which still states the All-Sports Combo ensures all students entrance to football games but "does NOT necessarily guarantee admission to men's basketball."
"We were just right up in the other corner, just beside the band," he said. "They weren't bad seats, but obviously [section U] is a much better deal."
"I think the key point is to make sure that people understand that every student who wants to attend a game will get into the game," he said. "We're committed to that because we think the students are the main reason why Allen Fieldhouse is such a great place to watch a basketball game."
available seats.
Said said she's interested to see how exactly the department plans on admitting all students.
It's a slightly different nar-
"Athletics has indicated that no students will be turned away from the games, so I'm still on the hunt as to how that is," she said. "If there's a sell out and there's a student excess, where do those students sit? And that's the question that I don't yet have an answer to."
its an issue that other universities have struggled with as well. UCLA's "Den Pass" is the equivalent of Kansas' All-Sports Combo and allows students entry to the Bruins' six home football games and 18 home basketball games for $129. UCLA Sports Information Director Liza David said its athletics department is "generally" able to accommodate all students who want to attend a basketball game, but if there's "a significant overage, seating on a first-come first-served basis."
IT'S NOT ALL BAD
Prior to the reduction, Kansas athletics' annual revenue from student fees was approximately $1.1 million (just over 1 percent of its overall income), the fourth-lowest in the Big 12. In contrast, West Virginia rakes in the most in the conference, $4.3 million, while the University of Texas and University of Oklahoma have done away with the fees entirely.
Despite the elimination of student seating in Section U,
Allen Fieldhouse actually remains among the more student-friendly venues in college basketball.
Roughly 4,000 seats are available to Kansas students for every home game — nearly a quarter of all available seating. Conversely, UCLA's Pauley Pavilion holds only 1,800 students (14 percent of total capacity) and Duke's Cameron Indoor has been said to support around 1,600 (17 percent).
FUTURE OUTLOOK
"Of course it will affect the atmosphere. You're replacing young, loud students with an older crowd that just doesn't have the same enthusiasm," he said. "There are other ways to bring in revenue without taking from the students that pay thousands of dollars a year to attend."
Still, students such as Miller have expressed concern over how the change could have a detrimental effect on the atmosphere inside the Phog.
ATMOSPHERIC CHANGES?
The department may consider other options eventually; Marchiony said that it'll assess the situation again at the end of this year. But for now, there's no intention to give section U back to students in the near future.
"We'll probably take a look at it every year," Marchiony said. "Right now, there are no plans to change what's there. It's something we'll look at year-by-year."

One win shouldn't guarantee Bowen head coaching job
ivisto Field was overwhelmed with adrenaline after the lashwacks defeated Iowa State
with adrenaline after the Jayhawks defeated Iowa State 34-14 last Saturday. Students stormed the field, tore down a goal post and threw it into Potter Lake. Coaches, players and fans were feeling pretty good about Kansas football as they left the stadium.
Don't forget that just two weeks ago, the jayhawks were demolished by No. 6 Baylor, losing 14-60. And
But, as exciting as it was, beating Iowa State, a 2-6 team with no conference wins, isn't something we should feel good about. Beating Iowa State is something we should expect. And while the victory looks really good for Bowen, it shouldn't automatically lock in his job as head coach in the future. We need to have higher expectations than that.
Seems like a tall order, yes.
But we as fans need to stop settling for mediocre coaching. That leads to a sub-par football team. Good coaching will get us a mediocre football team. But if we are looking for a great football team, we are going to need a top-notch coach, with pre-

the week before that, the Jayhawks were defeated handily 21-34 against unranked Texas Tech. Aside from the win this past weekend, the only other game Kansas actually had a chance in was Bowen's first home game as coach against Oklahoma State. The Jayhawks stayed in the game all the way until the fourth quarter when the Cowboys pulled ahead to win by a touchdown.
The real test for Bowen will come this Saturday when Kansas plays TCU in its last home game of the season. If Bowen can beat the Horned Frogs, ranked fourth in the country, then the job is his. But if we get blown out again, then Bowen isn't the right guy for this program.
vious head coaching experience, who can turn this team around fast. So far, Bowen hasn't proven to be that guy.

THE BREW
The best way for Bowen to prove himself is going to be beating TCU this weekend. It would be a huge victory that would certainly constitute taking down the goal posts. It would be a victory worthy of making ESPN's Top Plays of the Week. It would prove to the players, the fans and the athletic director that Bowen is the guy who's
going to make a difference in this program.
We need to keep our options open. Yes, Bowen may love the Jayhawks more than anyone else, and the fact that he's from Lawrence and played football at Kansas is heartwarming, but fans aren't
looking for a fairytale ending. Fans are looking for victories.
We've seen a conference win and we know how it feels. Now we need to move on and move up in our expectations for this team. We have the talent and the potential; the only thing missing is the right coaching staff.
Shepherd leads 21 seniors into last home game

@Stelly_Liang
While not the end of the Kansas (3-6, 1-5 Big 12) football season, this Saturday's game against TCU (8-1, 5-1) has a sense of finality. Twenty-one seniors will be honored before the 2 p.m. game, as the matchup marks Senior Day and the last home game for the hyphawks.
Many mainstays on the team, like linebacker Ben Heeney, right end Jimmay Mundine and running back Tony Herson, will be playing in their final home game, and interim coach Clint Bowen said Senior Day is always emotional and different from other games.
"We're going to handle it in different way in that we are going to make sure that we show the amount of respect and appreciation to these guys," Bowen said. "I'll never forget my senior last game and those types of deals. It's emotional."
One of those seniors is cornerback JaCorey Shepherd, who is one of 10 finalists for the Senior CLASS award. According to their website, the award is an acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School, and honors a senior who excels not only on the field, but also off it.
According to Kansas Athletics, Shepherd volunteers in many capacities, including with the Big Brothers Big Sisters program and by mentoring elementary-age kids. He has also had success on the field; he leads the team and conference with 16 defended passes.
The winner will be decided through an online fan vote that will be combined with media and coaches' votes.
Shepherd said he doesn't know how he will feel on Saturday.
"A lot of mixed emotions." Shepherd said. "I never really feel my emotions until the time
comes ... I'm going to enjoy it and try and go out the right way"
When Shepherd started at Kansas, he was a wide receiver. He and the rest of the seniors have seen many changes in their careers, including the ones at head coach in the last few years, and losing records. Bowen said he wants this senior class to be remembered for their resilience through all of it all.
"[They are] a group of guys that through some tough situations, tough circumstances always stayed together, always stayed positive," Bowen said. "[They] continued to lead this team, continued to show up each and every day and work hard and strive to get better all the way to the very end."
Mundine, who has been at Kansas for five years and has been a consistent receiving threat the past few weeks, said he is looking forward to speaking with the team before
"Not really say something to just get them pumped up, but say something that really has an effect on their play, makes them focus more," Mundine said. "It will be my last time, and I want them to see it that way."
Getting a win on Saturday will be difficult, as the Jayhawks welcome the TCU Horned Frogs who are ranked No. 4 in the latest College Football Playoff Rankings.
Quarterback Trevone Boykin, who has thrown 23 touchdowns, leads their offense, which is ranked second in the Big 12 with 47 points per game.
the game.
But Saturday will be bigger than what happens on the field.
"What happens on the field.
"The biggest thing I'm going to take away from all of this [are] the relationships that I've had with all my teammates and coaches." Heeney said. "It's pretty special."

JOSH DOCTSON
JUNIOR, WIDE RECEIVER
The Horned Frogs throw the ball an average of 40 times per game, which means the TCU wide receivers play a major role in the offense. Doctson leads the Horned Frogs in receptions (42), receiving yards per game (72) and receiving touchdowns (7). TCU likes to line Docton up all over the field.

TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin eludes Kansas State defensive end Jordan Willis during the second half of Saturday's game in Fort Worth, Texas. TCU won 41-20. Kansas will play TCU this Saturday for a chance at its second conference win of the season.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DAN HARMSEN
@udk_dan
MENDEZ: Expectations have been exceeded by quite a bit. Gary Patterson has said for a long time it would be 3 to 5 years to get the depth and experience needed to become competitive in the conference. Since it is Year 3, he is right on schedule. I think a reasonable goal would have been a winning conference record. Obviously, they are past that.
KANSAN: For the No. 4 TCU Horned Frogs (8-1, 5-1), 2014 has been a quantum leap from 2013. The team has already doubled its win total from a year ago (4) with three games left to play. Still relatively new to the Big 12 conference, how much has this year's successes exceeded preseason expectations, if at all?
KANSAN: TCU has as good a chance as any Big 12 team to qualify for a spot in the first College Football playoff. Are Horned Frog fans optimistic about the possibility of their team playing for a National Championship this January?
MENDEZ: Quite optimistic, for many. Others are afraid Baylor is going to catch them and pass them by the end of the season. But I'll bet they all agree this season is more than they expected.
KANSAN: In the Big 12, good quarterback play is paramount for championship contending teams. TCU's drastic improvement this season has been largely reliant on the transformation of Trevone Boykin, who is on the short list of candidates competing for the Heisman trophy — this after college football analyst Phil Steele predicted
Texas A&M transfer Matt Joeckel to be the starter over the off-season. We all want to know, how has the junior quarterback done it?
MENDEZ: It's the payoff of an investment in him as a quarterback from Day 1 of the spring. Gary Patterson brought in a former quarterback, Sonny Cumbie, and a strong offensive coach, Doug Meacham, to teach him this offense and how to play the position. He didn't have to worry about being a running back or a receiver.
The immersion into the system paid off in what you're seeing today. It's a credit to the coaches and his ability.
KANSAN: What should Kansas fans expect from the rest of a TCU offense that put up 82 points against Texas Tech and averages 47.2 points per game?
MENDEZ: On a nice day, a high-flying air attack. On a wintry day, a heavy dose of the running game. That is one area where Patterson believes his team has made a lot of
improvement in the last few games. It's a massive offensive line. The Horned Frogs ran for 334 yards last week against Kansas State.
KANSAN: Even with the dismissal of Big 12 preseason defensive player of the year Devonte Fields before the season, coach Gary Patterson has yet another stout defense in Fort Worth. How can Kansas muster offensive production against this unit?
MENDEZ: Maybe over the
top. The Horned Frogs have a couple of young cornerbacks and have shown vulnerability to the deep pass. But throwing deep requires time, and that means protecting the quarterback. TCU doesn't have the single elite pass rusher it would have had with Fields, but they use four defensive ends that Patterson thinks are all starter-quality.
KANSAN: Kansas has played TCU tough since the Frogs joined the Big 12 in 2012,
losing by a combined score of just 47-23. Forecasts are calling for a cold and possibly snowy kickoff. Can I get a final score prediction from you for this Saturday?
MENDEZ: I'm squeamish about score predictions in public, but you know, 47-23 actually looks possible. Still, considering the weather, let's knock 10 points off for each team. Call it 37-13.

MATT CORTE
@Corte_UDK
Since 1981, there had only been three times that Kansas volleyball swept its rival Kansas State in Manhattan.
On Wednesday night, the Jayhawks made it number four, sweeping the No. 23 ranked Wildcats 25-22, 25-22, 25-21.
The win for Kansas (19-7, 7-5) was crucial, as it jumped the team into a tie for third place in the conference with Kansas State (20-6, 7-5).
"We had everybody engaged in serving the ball tough, and passing the ball tough," coach Ray Bechard said. "And those few things this time of year will give you the chance to
In the previous game this season, Kansas looked poised to sweep the Wildcats after the team built a 2-0 set lead, but Kansas State won out and stunned the Jayhawks in Lawrence.
That Kansas team was still maturing and meshing as a team. Now deep into conference play, the Jayhawks are showing less and less of those growing pains.
I think they're coming into a level of competitive confidence," Bechard said. "We got down a little bit in the first and second sets tonight, didn't panic, didn't stray away from what's important to us, and they trust each other and trust the process. So I think that's a level of maturation, and new players, newcomers becoming a little more experienced."

Kansas State made it interesting after a kill put the score at 24-22, but on the very next play, Kansas finished a second straight with a kill of its own, this time from senior Chelsea Albers.
Set three was the Jayhawks' turn to gain some separation early, as the team built a lead of 12-8 before widening it to 20-15.
Never making it easy, the Wildcats mimicked what Kansas had done to them in sets one and two, scoring five of six points to cut Kansas' lead to 21-20.
With the win, McClinton and Albers are now 5-3 against the Wildcats, which means they're the first players with a .500 plus record versus the in-state rivals since coach Bechard started in 1998.
Senior outside hitter Sara McClinton led the way for Kansas, collecting a match high 18 kills on 36 attacks for a .500 hitting percentage.
The Jayhawks, though, found another gear yet again, and finished Kansas State off for good by registering four of the next five points, which ended with a Tiana Dockery kill.

Women's basketball begins regular season at home
SCOTT CHASEN
@SCHasenKU
The Jayhawks will kick off their regular season Sunday as they take on the South Dakota Coyotes in Allen Fieldhouse at 2 p.m.
While South Dakota isn't considered to be as much of a challenge as many other teams the Jayhawks will face, Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said her team's lack of in-game experience against zone defense could hurt them.
"We maybe saw 10 possessions of [2-3 zone in exhibition play], and we're anticipating to see it quite a bit against South Dakota," Henrickson said after the lahaywks second exhibition game. "It would have been good for us to play live [again the 2-3] a little bit more."
South Dakota is coming off of a 19-14 season, which culminated with a trip to the NCAA tournament. The Coyotes lost in their first round game to Stanford, a team that then went on to reach the Final Four.
WASIRURY 24 ANSA 5
The Jayhawks will need to contain Nicole Seekamp, the Coyotes' best player, if they are to emerge victorious. The senior guard averaged 15.5 points, 4 rebounds and 3.8 assists last season, including a 22-point, 5-rebound performance in the game against Stanford.
ANNA WENNER/KANSAN
Meanwhile, the Jayhawks are searching to find their way back to the NCAA tournament for the third time in the past four years, and getting the season started off on the right foot would go a long way in accomplishing that goal.
Senior forward Chelsea Gardner maneuvers away from a Washburn opponent during last Saturday's game. Kansas defeated Washburn 78-58 and will start their regular season this Sunday against South Dakota.
History is on the jayhawks side, as Kansas has won its season opener for the past nine years by an average margin of 21.4 points. However, the Jayhawks aren't just looking to sneak into the NCAA Tournament; they're looking to make some noise in the Big 12, too.
"I have really high expectations for this team, and I think
we'll go far," senior guard Natalie Knight said. "I think we defi-
nenty have the capability to even win the Big 12 this year, too."
In order to contend against the likes of Baylor, Texas and
West Virginia, the Jayhawks will need to be much improved. from where they ended last season, as they lost each of their last five regular-season conference games, before getting bounced in the Big 12 Tournament by No. 9-overall seed Baylor.
For Kansas, it all goes back to starting the season off on the right foot, as the Jayhawks won each of their first seven games in the two most recent seasons when they reached the NCAA tournament. While that may be a little more difficult this year, with a game against No. 3 Notre Dame looming as the seventh contest for the Jayhawks, there's no reason to think Kansas won't have a chance to win it's first seven games, especially considering the momentum the Jayhawks will have built up should they make it through the first couple games unscathed.

KANSAS
Bunny Williams, senior, forward Williams will try to capitalize on her defensive game to overpower South Dakota. Williams has a total of 10 rebounds in two exhibition games this season.
Chelsea Gardner, senior, forward Gardner will have Jayhawk fans cheering loudly again after playing exceptionally well in both exhibition games this season. With a double-double against Fort Hays State and 20 points and nine rebounds against Washburn, she won't disappoint against South Dakota.
Asia Boyd, senior, guard Boyd has a lot of potential against South Dakota after recording 19 double-digit games last season. Boyd needs to limit turnovers to the Coyotes.
Lauren Aldridge, freshman,
guard
Aldridge has been a nice addition to the Jayhawks after really carrying the team at the beginning of the Washburn game, scoring five points in the first four minutes of play. She is a leader on the court, despite being the youngest starter.
Natalie Knight, senior, guard Knight carried the team against Washburn last Sunday, scoring 21 points and being 8-for-10 from the charity stripe. Knight will continue to be a top-scorer going into the first regular season game of the year.

Competition stiffens with UC Santa Barbara matchup
BEN FELDERSTEIN
@Ben Felderstein
Kansas will begin its regular season schedule on Friday night against UC Santa Barbara. After coming off of a 53-point win against Emporia State in their first preseason game, momentum is on the Jayhawks' side.
"We played a lot better tonight," coach Bill Self said. "I thought we looked more cohesive. The ball moved pretty good. We looked semi-organized at times. Not great, but pretty good."
With the game three days before the Champions Classic, Kansas will use the Santa Barbara game to prepare for one of its toughest tests of the season against Kentucky.
"Immediately after the game, coach Self told us what was coming for us. We're already on to the next game, we know it's a 'real' game," sophomore guard Brannen Greene said. "UC Santa Barbara is good. They are going to bring things that Emporia
State and Washburn didn't. They've got more size, so we've got to come in and pay attention to the scouting report even more and get the job done."
The Gauchos posted a 2013-14 record of 21-9 (12-4) and have been projected to finish second in the 2014-15 Big West Conference poll.
In 2003. Kansas defeated Santa Barbara 72-52 in their only prior meeting. The Jayhawks knocked the Gauchos out in the first round of the Wolf Pack Classic in Reno, Nevada.
"I thought it was pretty good," Self said of the team defense. "Obviously, they're not very big, but usually when they're not very big it usually creates quickness and
The Jayhawks played strong in their first two preseason games, but still have a lot of work to do if they plan on contending for their 11th straight Big 12 title. The defense looked strong against Emporia State, but their execution was often sloppy.
it's hard guarding a little guy. I thought we actually got out and defended them and our ball screen defense was a little better. It's nothing to be too excited about, but it's better than it was last week."
Kansas is as deep this year as they have been in recent memory. With 11 players getting legitimate minutes in the preseason, Self's implementation of a rotation should be interesting. In years past, Self has seemed to stick to a 10-man rotation.

"I thought everybody had a chance to play fairly significant minutes," Self said. "I thought they all contributed well. I thought Landen (Lucas) and Hunter (Mickelson) may have been our two best bigs in the first half. Frank (Mason III) and Wayne (Selden Jr.) and Perry (Ellis) didn't really plug themselves into the second half, but I thought Wayne played great both halves. We did some good things."

THE DAILY DEBATE
After Manning and Brady, who will be the next great quarterback in the NFL?
By Kyle Hicks
@udkylehicks
AARON RODGERS
Over the past decade, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady have dominated their positions like no other. As they both reach their decline and retirement nears, the question arises: Who will take their place as the top quarterback in the NFL? That man goes by the name Aaron Rodgers.
After three years of sitting under Brett Favre, Rodgers has begun to pave the way for a career as impressive, if not more impressive, than his predecessor. Among active quarterbacks, Rodgers ranks 10th in career passing yards (26,604) all while having two or more years less of playing experience on his belt than the other nine. He also breaks the top 10 for most career touchdown passes by an active quarterback, standing at No. 9 with 213.
Even more impressive. Rodgers currently ranks No. 1 in pass completion percentage (66 percent) and career
passer rating (106.2), ahead of Peyton Manning (97.8) and Steve Young (96.8). Of course, this statistic doesn't necessarily make him better than Manning or Young, but being ahead of these two in any quarterback statistic is saying something.
The most important aspect coaches want in their quarterback isn't a high passer rating or a boatload of passing yards. Most importantly, a quarterback needs to find ways to win games. If his team doesn't leave the stadium Sunday with a victory, no one will care how many touchdowns were thrown. Despite his initial 6-10 season, Rodgers has managed to win on a consistent basis, posting a 69-36 record throughout his career. Not to mention, Rodgers added a Super Bowl win and MVP to his (discount double check) belt by his third season.
Putting all of these numbers and statistics aside, what makes Rodgers an elite quarterback is his intangibles. He's no Michael Vick, but he's quick and smart enough to
use his feet to extend drives and move around the pocket. His football intelligence is through the roof, which has led him to a mere three interceptions to his 25 touchdowns this season.
earlier this year in Miami, down by four, Rodgers was leading the Packers to a fourth quarter comeback with no timeouts remaining and just 15 seconds left on the clock. While everyone on the field — and even his coach, Mike McCarthy — assumed Rodgers would spike the ball to stop the clock, he faked the spike and threw to wide receiver Devante Adams for 12 yards, making it out of bounds at the 4-yard line. The next play, he threw a game-winning touchdown to tight end Andrew Quarless to win the game.
It's plays like this that leave you in awe when Rodgers takes the field and why there is no other quarterback better fit to play his position for the next seasons to come.

ANDREW LUCK
By Jacob Clemen
@jclemn9
In 2012, the Indianapolis Colts drafted Andrew Luck and tasked him with the unenviable responsibility of replacing Peyton Manning. arguably the best quarterback to ever play professional football.
Manning reminded NFL viewers of his greatness when he and the Denver Broncos faced off against the New England Patriots and Tom Brady, who many regard to be just as good, if not better, than Manning. Both of these quarterbacks are over 35 years old and will likely retire in the coming years.
second season was about 2 percent lower than Manning's, and he threw 46 touchdowns compared to Manning's 52.
While guys like Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers are excellent quarterbacks,Luck will be the one to receive the attention that Brady and Manning command.
Luck has a 1-2 record in the postseason, but he threw for more than 250 yards in each game, including a 443-yard effort against the Chiefs last season where he led the Colts back from a 28-point second-half deficit.
Luck statistically compares very similarly to his predecessor through his first two and a half seasons. Luck's completion percentage through his
He has also shown a tendency to shine brightest in high-pressure situations. Luck already has eight fourth-quarter comebacks and 11 game-winning drives to his credit in his young career, according to pro-football-reference.com.
Luck is a dual-threat quarterback as he excels passing in the pocket and has the ability to scramble from the pocket and pick up rushing yards at a solid clip. Last season, Luck rushed 63 times for 377 yards, four touchdowns and averaged six yards per rush.
Size and strength could be one of the most crucial elements of Luck putting together a Hall of Fame career. With his size and strength,
Luck can withstand the rigors of the NFL season and could put together a lengthy and healthy career due to his ability to withstand hits.
An encouraging sign for the young quarterback has been his signs of improvement each season. Since his rookie year, he cut his interceptions in half while maintaining his touchdown rate at 23 per year. Most notably, he increased his quarterback rating from 76.5 to 87. This season, that rating rose to 100.3. He's also thrown 26 touchdowns after just 10 weeks and averages 342.8 yards per game — over 100 yards more than he averaged last season. If this increase in production keeps up, he will be among the best quarterbacks in the game very soon.
Andrew Luck still must win at least one Super Bowl before he receives the same types of accolades as Manning and Brady, but a solid Colts team and his own outstanding abilities set him up to have many opportunities to win the big game.
Cross country teams head to Illinois for championships

@joey_anguiano
On Friday, in Peoria, Ill. everything the Kansas cross country teams have been training for will be put to the test. The NCAA Midwest Regional Championships are the only way for the Jayhawks to advance onwards to the NCAA Championships. The men's team is looking for it's first NCAA berth in eight years, while the women are trying to do so for the first time since 1994.
Junior Jacob Morgan tries to catch up to an Oklahoma State runner at the Big 12 Championships in Lawrence on Oct. 31. Morgan placed 5th overall in the men's race.
Heading to Peoria for the men's team are four runners who are competing in their third regional meet. This group includes junior Jacob Morgan, who put in an All-Big 12 fifth-place performance two weeks ago at the Big 12 Championships.
Joining Morgan are senior James Wilson and freshman Chris Malgares, who have both been among the top three finishers for the Jayhawks three times this season. While this is the first regional race for Malgares, it will be Wilson's fourth, making him one of the more experienced runners on the course.
look for all three of these runners to be in the top three finishers for the Jayhawks, and possibly make an impact on the regional field. Another thing to look out for is how the length of the race will affect
the runners. The men have not run a 10K race all season, yet will be faced with the task in Peoria.
On the women's side, sophomore Nashia Baker will lead the way for the Jayhawks in her second regional meet. Baker has finished first for the women's team four times this season. In addition to Baker, junior Haley Francis and sophomores Kelli McKenna,
Courtney Coppinger and Rachel Simon are all heading to Peoria as well. Together, these five are part of a team that took fifth place at regionals last season.
The gun will go off for the women at noon, while the men will start an hour later at 1 p.m.

AMIE JUST
The dormant Border War will be temporarily resurrected Sunday.
@Amie Just
the NCAA Division I Women's Soccer Championship slated Kansas and Mizzou against each other in the first round.
"I'm thrilled for the girls that they get this opportunity," said coach Mark Francis. "Getting selected to play in this tournament is the result of a lot of hard work and dedication this year. And as if the stakes weren't already high enough, getting to play our rival Missouri will make this game much more special. It should be a great atmosphere out here on Sunday."
This will be the second time Kansas and Missouri have played each other in any sport since Missouri's departure for the SEC. The first time the two schools met post-conference realignment was during the 2014 NCAA Softball Tournament.
The last time Kansas and Missouri met on the pitch was back in 2011, when the Tigers won, 3-2. Missouri also owns the all-time series against Kansas by a narrow margin of 10-9-1.
This is the sixth time for both Kansas and Missouri where both teams made postseason appearances. Kansas' last appearance in the Big Dance was back in 2011. Missouri last advanced in 2012.
Heading into the tournament, Kansas is ranked No. 18 in the NSCAA/Continental Tire top-25 poll. Missouri is ranked No. 37.
Kansas boasts a record of 15-5 and finished third in the Big 12. The record is the third-best record in program history and the best outing by the Jayhawks in the past
10 seasons. Kansas has defeated three NCAA tournament teams, including Colorado, Oklahoma State and Texas.
Junior midfielder Liana Salazar, senior defender Caroline Van Slambrouck, junior forward Ashley Williams and senior goalkeeper Kaitlyn Stroud lead the charge for the Jayhawks. Salazar, Van Slambrouck and Williams
were named to the All-Big 12 First Team, while Stroud led the Big 12 with a 0.61 goalsagainst average and a .867 save percentage.
Other Jayhawks recognized by the Big 12 are senior midfielder Jamie Fletcher (All-Big 12 second team) and freshman defender Kalyrie Morrison (Big 12 All-Newcomer team).
Stroud was red carded at the
1 conference record. The Tigers have four wins against other tournament teams: Kentucky, South Carolina, Georgia and Arkansas.
Missouri holds a record of 11-6-3 and finished fourth in the SEC standings with a 6-4-2.
90-minute mark in the final game of the regular season. Under the rules, she was ruled ineligible for the following game — the game in the first round of the Big 12 Tournament against Oklahoma. She should be eligible for the game against Missouri.
named to the All-SEC first team. Senior midfielder Kaysie Clark, All-SEC first team, leads the Tigers with 16 points on three goals and 10 assists. Junior defender Candace Johnson and junior forward/ midfielder Reagan Russell were named to the All-SEC second team. Freshman midfielder Kaitlyn Clark was named to the SEC All-Freshman team.
The faceoff begins at 1 p.m. Nov. 16, at Rock Chalk Park. Tickets are free for students with a valid student ID.

COMMENTARY
Kansas needs to patch things up before Kentucky
By Connor Oberkrom
@coberkro
Kansas men's basketball learned on the fly last year, and it
will attempt to do the same this year as it prepares it for next week's matchup with Kentucky.
For one, Kansas still need to find a consistent outside shooter. This was one of the worries that came with Conner Frankamp's departure, and many are hoping Sviatoslav Mykhaliuik or Brannen Greene can fill that void.
The final score against Emporia State wasn't any indication of the struggles still facing this Kansas team; it still has many shortcomings to polish.
The Jayhawks dismantled both of their exhibition opponents, and the season will truly get underway when they face UC Santa Barbara Friday night. But everyone is still expecting that game to be a tune-up for KU's match-up with blue-blood Kentucky in Tuesday's Champions Classic in Chicago.
The Jayhawks started Tuesday night's game off 1-of-9 from the perimeter, but finished 6-of-18. While you don't want to base an argument on two games, early indications haven't necessarily been promising.
Teams can get by with a lack of shooting by crashing the glass and scoring in transition, but an outside threat that can scare teams would open things up for the offense.
Another problematic area is the point guard position, which seems to have been an issue for Bill Self's teams the last four years. Kansas still needs to figure out if Devonte' Graham or Frank Mason is the best starting option moving forward.
Mason will probably get the nod early in the season, but if Graham can get past the typical freshman mental errors, there's no question that he has a higher ceiling than Mason.
With all of the other weapons on offense, all Kansas needs a point guard to do is to facilitate and control the tempo of the game. If Mason or Graham can separate themselves, it will make it easier for Kansas' offense to thrive.
Kansas looked further along than perceived when it took down Duke last year, but still had problems even after that.
Kentucky has its share of problems as well and will have to manage the overload of talent present on its roster.
For teams trying to find their identity, non-conference play is no walk in the park.

AT A GLANCE
The Jayhawks began the season strong and quelled concerns about their guard situation in the process. Sure, they've struggled shooting the ball for brief stints, but it's clear that this Kansas offense is dangerous when running correctly. After a poor year on defense in 2013-14, Self has made it a focal point this year, and it has showed — Kansas has 11 blocks and is outrebounding opponents by 22 through two games.
Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk,
Guard
The Ukranian freshman had a tough time in his first collegiate start against Emporia State—he was 1-of-5 from the field and was one of two Jayhawks to receive double-digit minutes but not eclipse five points. So far, all 10 of his shot attempts have been from behind the arc; he's converted three of those.
QUESTION MARKS
What's wrong with Kansas at the free-throw line?
PLAYER TO WATCH
While Kansas has excelled in most aspects of its game, it's struggled mightily shooting from the charity stripe. The Jayhawks are converting only 64 percent of their shots at the line, including just 59 percent in the second half.

Mason and freshman guard Devonte' Graham have both performed strongly in Kansas' first two contests, reassuring fans that it'll manage without the departed Conner Frankamp.

Greene is recovered from a concussion and presumably no longer in coach Bill Self's doghouse; he's set to be among the top options at the guard position for the Jayhawks.

M. ALI ZABIYA
Perry Ellis, Forward
With the start of regular-season play, it should become more apparent that Ellis will be the go-to in Kansas' offense. Self said he expects the junior to average somewhere between 15 and 18 points a game. The Jayhawks' lone preseason All-Big 12 selection, Ellis averaged 13.5 points and 6.7 rebounds per game last year.
★★★★☆
Traylor has established himself as one of Kansas' top defensive bodies in the paint. He's had at least two blocks and four rebounds in both of the Jayhawks' exhibition games, and received the starting nod in both contests. Self isn't short on talent in the post, and may tend to ride the hot hand, but Traylor has been impressive thus far.

BROOKLYN HILL HIGH SCHOOL
Zalmico Harmon, Guard
Harmon is one of the important UC Santa Barbara returning starters. Harmon averaged 5.1 assists per game last season and played more than 30 minutes per game. Harmon is the floor general for the Gauchos, and during their last exhibition game against Point Loma, Harmon had a team-high of four assists.

Michael Bryson, Guard
Bryson was the leading three-point shooter last season and second on the team in rebounds per game (4.3). That's an odd combination, but Bryson could have a field day because Kansas can't guard the three. Kansas allowed Emporia State to shoot 18 three-pointers.

Eric Childress, Guard
★★★☆☆
Childress is one of the two new starters for the Gauchos. He averaged 20 minutes per game the previous season but didn't contribute offensively, averaging only 5.3 points per game. The 6-foot guard will have trouble guarding the taller Kansas guards, and he will have trouble staying on the floor. The Gauchos won't need him Friday because they'll need a bigger body on defense.
★ ☆ ☆ ☆
Mitch Brewe, Forward
Brewe is a big man with above-average shooting ability. The 6-foot-8 forward shot over 50 percent from three last season, but he struggled rebounding the ball with only three rebounds per game. In the past, Kansas had trouble guarding the stretch forwards who can shoot, and Brewe can be another one of those guys.
★★☆☆☆
P
Alan Williams, Forward
Williams averaged over 11 rebounds per game last season, which was good enough for second in the nation. At 6-foot-8, Williams uses his big body and athleticism to outrebound the taller guys on the floor. Williams is the only true danger to the Jayhawks because of his scoring and rebounding ability.

AT A GLANCE
The Gauchos return three of their five starters this season, including the reigning rebound leader, Alan Williams. Williams also averaged 21 points per game last season, which ranked in the top 15 in the nation. The other two starters played over 30 minutes each last season, and UC Santa Barbara has the most talented and experienced squad it's had in years, Kansas coach Bill Self said.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Alan Williams. Guard
Williams is the Gauchos go-to guy, and the Kansas frontcourt will have problems containing the 6-foot-8 forward. Williams isn't tall for his position, but he has a knack for grabbing rebounds by using his 265-pound frame to move others out of the paint. Williams also can score at will. He didn't attempt a single 3-pointer all of last season and shot 53 percent from the field.
QUESTION MARKS
Can the Kansas defense stop Alan Williams?
Kansas outrebounded its opponent by 16 during the course of the two exhibition games, but UC Santa Barbara isn't Washburn or Emporia State. Williams separates himself from the rest of the team, and the Gauchos will depend on him as their leading contributor.

Prediction: Kansas 86, UCSB 71
Kansas allows Williams more than 9 rebounds. Coach Bill Self likes the way all five big men (Elis, Traylor, Mickelson, Lucas and Alexander) can play at a high level. All five recorded at least four rebounds against Emporia State, and they will have their hands full against Williams.

Douglas County begins issuing same-sex marriage licenses
(1)
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
Vicki Buchanan and her daughter Sheena Grigsby wipe tears during Vicki and Angie Crowley's wedding inside Douglas County Courthouse. Angie and Vicki were one of the first same-sex couples to be married in Kansas on Nov. 13.
MIRANDA DAVIS
@MirandaDavisUDK
By the end of last week, 24 same-sex couples had applied for marriage licenses in Douglas County after the clerk's office began issuing marriage licenses Thursday.
Eleven couples petitioned to have the three-day waiting period waived, according to the clerk's office. Typically, those filing for a marriage license have to wait three days between applying and the county issuing the license, but Chief Judge Robert Fairchild waived the waiting period for all couples who petitioned, according to the clerk's office.
The marriage application paperwork now states "Party A" and "Party B" as a way to include all couples. The application used to say "man" and "woman."
Angela and Jennifer Schaefer from Gardner were one of the three couples who got married at the courthouse Thursday. They brought their 10-week-old son to the courthouse for their marriage. The couple has been together for nine years and wanted things to be squared away for their son.
"Jen actually beat cancer this year, and we've actually fought a lot of battles together and think that having everything set up legally is important;" Angela Schaefer said.
Anne Steward and Angela Robinson from Overland Park also got married at the courthouse Thursday. Many

University groups seek partnership in sexual assault policy
MCKENNA HARFORD
@McKennaHartford
The following groups are working with the University to address concerns about how the University handles sexual assault, including beginning discussions, looking at sexual assault training programs and taking advantage of current resources.
Erinn Barcomb-Peterson, director of news and media relations at the University, said the task force and the sexual assault panel the Chancellor hosted in September are also examples of how the University has been involved with the national "It's On Us" campaign, which encourages universities to take a serious look at sexual assault policies.
SEXUAL ASSAULT TASK FORCE
The sexual assault task force is reviewing the student rights and conduct code for possible amendments to make student and University responsibilities more clear, as well as researching affirmative consent policies.
"It's important because from a University standpoint there's ambiguity about jurisdiction," said Angela Murphy, co-chair of the task force. "We want explicit ways to lay out University responsibilities and student responsibilities under the code."
It has reached out to the University community for any suggestions and have spoken with local advocate centers about
partnerships and making students aware of those resources.
TITLE IX ROUNDTABLE
The Title IX Roundtable is looking at short-term responses to concerns on sexual assault. They are hoping to do this by working with campus groups to coordinate value statements and create action plans for how to handle sexual assault.
"Students want to see immediate action to protect their safety and well-being," said Emma Halling, co-chair of the Title IX Roundtable and a senior from Elkhart, Ind. "They want to know that there's ongoing work."
GREEK SEXUAL ASSAULT
TASK FORCE
The Greek sexual assault task force has met with Greek members to start working on a sexual assault program that would be a part of the new member education. They are also looking to partner with the University and with houses to combat the issue together.
"We are student-run and student-led, but we don't want to isolate ourselves and the University can support us and offer resources," said Maggie Young, one of the founders of the Greek task force and a senior from Olathe. "We are looking to people who have more knowledge and experience."

International Education Week comes to campus
MARK ARCE
@mark_arce13
Several offices and organizations at the University will be hosting events and programs during International Education Week, which runs this Monday through Friday. International Education Week is a joint initiative between the Departments of State and Education that began in 2000 and "is an opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide," according to the State Department's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
Alison Watkins, the communications director for KU International Programs, is helping coordinate this year's International Education Week. Watkins was able to sit down with the Kansan and talk about International Education Week and why people should participate.
KANSAN: What's your role in International Education Week?
WATKINS: My office is sort
of the clearing house. We remind all the area studies centers, the libraries or anybody else who might be interested and say, "Hey Nov. 17 to 21, that's International Education Week this year; what events do you have going on? What events might you want to plan?" And give them a heads up and ask them to send us all of the details — time, date, place and a description. We put together the calendar and share it on our website and also with the University.
KANSAN: What do you think about International Education Week?
WATKINS: There is so much going in the University with international events, programs, lectures, all sorts of things that run the gambit. So it's a wonderful opportunity to have a week and say, "Hey here's the spotlight on all of the great things that the University is doing." Pay attention, attend an event and maybe they learn something about another culture or another

Senate travels to Iowa for Big 12 conference
DALTON KINGERY
@daltonkingnews
The University Student Senate's executive staff traveled to Ames, Iowa, this weekend for the annual Big 12 Student Government Association conference. The Kansan caught up with Student Body Vice President Miranda Wagner to talk about what was discussed and accomplished at the conference and what she took away from the weekend.
Q. What was the purpose of the conference, and what did Student Senate do there?
A: All the student governments come together for a conference every year, and it's partly to share ideas and learn from all the other schools and see how we're different and how we can improve from each other, how we can help each other out. It's also largely to discuss what we want to advocate for when we travel to Washington, D.C., in the spring. All the Big 12 schools travel to D.C. and advocate for different higher education issues, so each of the schools brought forth some of the issues that are really important to us, so we kind of decided as the Big 12 what we want to start thinking about. It was just really great because it was a good time of community and learning from other people and seeing how other schools operate.
a: What did you find out about the other Big 12 schools, as far as the issues they are facing and how they're handling them?
A: Campus safety is definitely something that each campus is facing in its own way. Not only with sexual assault, but also with the rise of social media. A lot of schools are seeing some different safety issues arising. We ended up talking about Snapchat and Yik Yak for a while; at Iowa State specifically, they've been having a lot of safety and
peace-of-mind problems related to those.
a. What have other universities dealt with specifically?
A: Well with Yik Yak, people have been posting some very specific claims against individual students, and it's kind of a hard thing for the police to know, is this something we actually investigate or not? Like, how much weight do we put on Yik Yak? We even saw that on our own campus the week before last. The problem with Yik Yak is it's all anonymous, so there's no way to track anything. The University of Texas actually went to Yik Yak as a company and said, "You need to take us off." So at the University of Texas, you couldn't access Yik Yak in the area for awhile and they completely banned it from campus. But it actually came back recently, and now they're dealing with it again.
Q: What are some of the differences you noticed between KU and other Big 12 schools?
A: Not a lot of other schools have SafeRide programs, and the ones that do are quite different from ours, so it was really interesting to learn about those differences. Also, just from my perspective, we at the University have a lot more fee oversight over all the student fees we pay every semester than the other schools. So, when people were talking about, "How do you do SafeRide, how do you do XYZ," I was really trying to encourage them to not just hand that off to administration, [but to] make sure you do make this a part of your student government, that way you always have student input.
A: Andy MaeCracken, who is from the National Campus Leadership Council, he's been calling all the
Q: In regards to sexual assault, what was discussed at the conference?
student body presidents since the summer to discuss the "It's On Us" campaign, and he actually came to our conference and spoke for a while. One of the big criticisms of "It's On Us" has been that there's not a lot of follow-through. It's just kind of like messaging and branding, and then it's like, okay, now what? So I kind of asked him, "Hey, here's some problems we've had; this is why our campus hasn't signed on yet." He said, "Yeah, we understand that," and I think that they're really trying to get that conversation started on a national level. Specifically, he said your schools should create a task force — well, we're already ahead of them on that one. And that your schools should have a Title IX coordinator — well, we're already ahead of them on that one. Even though the University is obviously working really hard right now, it was interesting to see we're on pace with the national level on some of those things.
a: What did you learn that you'll apply to the rest of your time in office?
A: I guess overall there were a lot of school-specific ideas that I want to pitch to the rest of our staff as far as reaching out to student groups and getting people more involved in Student Senate. For example, I've been working on mental health services on campus and looking into how effective we're being, do we need more staff, etc. I got a lot of feedback from other schools about how their mental health services work, so I'll be following up on them and trying to gather information from them. So that's just one specific example of what I think. Now that these relationships are built it'll be that much more beneficial for the rest of my term to make sure I'm getting some feedback and input from other people.
In Thursday's issue of the Kansan, the article "Endowment receives $8.1 million grant for a new airplane" incorrectly stated Endowment received the grant. Endowment provided the University with the money to purchase the plane.

country, current events, and then it may get people interested in doing different things throughout the rest of the year. So it's just a nice way to highlight all the great things that are offered at the University in the international arena.
KANSAN: Why should people participate in the weeks events?
WATKINS: I just think there are so many interesting things going on at the University and we have so many great opportunities that I think it's a shame for people to miss out if you're interested or just wanted to try something new. If there is a part of the world that you're interested in or a subject matter that people would like to explore, I think International Education Week, and international education in general, is just a great way to learn more and be a "global citizen," as we like to say.
NANSAN: Is there anything different about this year's events compared to past years?
have pretty much arranged the same activities. I will say one thing. My office, with other offices' help, [is] offering a couple workshops - one for faculty and one for staff, just in terms of some tools to internationalize the campus. You know the growth of international students on campus offices and faculty may be seeing more international students in their offices and in their classrooms. This is to give some people some information and ways to work with international students and answer any questions they may have about situations or concerns that they have.
KANSAN: Are there international events students can participate in during the rest of the year outside of International Education
Week?
WATKINS: On a weekly basis. One of the area studies is [always] offering something - a movie, a lecture, something being offered by one of the departments - so I'd say just keep an eye on the University calendar. There is a field on there called "international program," so if people are interested in seeing what's going on in that area, just go to the websites of the area studies centers. There is a lot of ways to find out. The International Students Association also sponsors events for students as well at cultural nights and other things. So the ISA is also a great way to be involved with what's going with international students as well as international education.
KANSAN: What are the benefits of participating in the events of International Education Week and other internationally themed events during the year?
WATKINS: The opportunity to learn, to be a global citizen, to participate in what's happening in the world. As we keep saying, it's cliche but the world is becoming so much smaller. And at the University, international students and scholars are here. It's a great opportunity to learn from your friends, make new friends, learn from your peers and just to explore the world. Especially if you don't get the chance to study abroad perhaps or travel, this is another way to learn about what's happening in the world. The world is coming to you and the University is great at having the world come to us. There are so many opportunities that people can take advantage of.
Anybody can participate in the events during the week by looking at the calendar and attending what interests them.

Sunday's Mini Big Event canceled due to weather
LANE COFAS
@OttoVeatch
The second Mini Big Event, which was scheduled for yesterday, was canceled Thursday due to weather conditions.
According to the Big Event's Facebook page, the event exists to "unite KU students, faculty and staff with the Lawrence community, and to foster a culture of services through collaboration." The Mini Big Event is a smaller version of the Big Event, which occurs in the spring.

"Earlier in the week we had decided to scale back our event to only accommodate job sites that were indoors due to the extremely cold weather forecasted for today [Sunday]," Wilkin said. "On Thursday evening we decided as an executive team to cancel the event as we were only anticipated to serve about seven homeowners [from the original 25 that signed up] that wanted inside

Colorado health officials may ban edible pot treats
- Edited by Ashley Peralta
HOC
BOLL
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Pot-infused brownies are divided and packaged at The Growing Kitchen in Boulder, Colo. Colorado health officials want to ban many edible forms of marijuana, including brownies, cookies and most candies, limiting sales of pot-infused food to lozenges and some liquids.
DENVER — Saying they're still worried that edible pot sweets are too attractive to kids, Colorado health authorities plan to ask Monday for a new panel to decide which marijuana foods and drinks look too much like regular snacks.
A Health Department recommendation, obtained by The Associated Press in advance of a final meeting Monday on edible marijuana regulations, suggests a new state commission to give "pre-market approval" before food or drinks containing pot can be sold.
The recommendation comes a month after the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment suggested banning the sale of most kinds of edible pot. That suggestion was quickly retracted after it went public.
Marijuana-infused foods and drinks have been a booming sector in Colorado's new recreational marijuana market. But lawmakers feared the products are too easy to confuse with regular foods and drinks and ordered marijuana regulators to require a new look for marijuana edibles.
The new Health Department suggestion calls for a commission to decide which types of foods can be sold.
"The department remains concerned that there are products on the market that so closely resemble children's candy that it can entice children to experiment with marijuana. Marijuana should not seem 'fun' for kids," the agency wrote in its recommendation.
The ultimate decision on how to change Colorado's edibles market will be made by state lawmakers in 2015.
The state's Marijuana Enforcement Division is holding work groups with industry representatives, law enforcement, health officials and parent groups to come up with a group recommendation to lawmakers on the question. The final workgroup meets today.
A Health Department spokesman did not respond to a request to comment on the revised suggestion, which
hasn't yet been made public
Edible-pot makers fumed at the suggestion, saying it runs afoul of a voter-approved constitutional amendment that guarantees access to retail marijuana in all its forms. State regulations limit potency, serving size and packaging, but there are no regulations on what kinds of foods may contain pot. Edible-pot manufacturers say that limitation would go too far.
"We're governed to death, and people need to take responsibility for themselves," said Elyse Gordon, owner of Better Baked, a Denver company that makes edible pot products including teas, energy bars and candies.
"I don't think anyone in the industry is looking to make products for children, and we resent this idea that people aren't responsible for the products they bring into their home."
Also coming out from the Health Department Monday is a highly anticipated statement about marijuana use by pregnant women and nursing mothers.

The St. Louis County grand jury, which has been meeting since Aug. 20, is expected to decide this month whether Officer Darren Wilson is charged with a crime for killing 18-year-old Michael Brown after ordering him and a friend to stop walking in the street on Aug. 9.

Officer Darren Wilson attends a city council meeting in Ferguson. Police identified Wilson as the police officer who shot 18-year-old Michael Brown on Aug.9, 2014 in Ferguson.

The shooting has led to tension with police and a string of unruly protests there and brought worldwide attention to the formerly obscure St. Louis suburb, where more than half the population is black but few police officers are.
Activists in Ferguson met Saturday to map out their protest plans. Meeting organizers encouraged group members to provide their names upon arrest as Darren Wilson or Michael Brown to make it more difficult for police to process them.

"It's definitely on our radar," said Lt. Michael McCarthy, police spokesman in Boston, where police leaders met privately Wednesday to discuss preparations. "Common sense tells you the timeline is getting close. We're just trying to prepare in case something does step off, so we are ready to go with it."
In Las Vegas, police joined pastors and other community leaders this week to call for restraint at a rally tentatively planned northwest of the casino strip when a decision comes.
"Naturally, we always pay attention," said Cmdr.
In Los Angeles, rocked by riots in 1992 after the acquittal of police officers in the videotaped beating of Rodney King, police officials say they've been in touch with their counterparts in Missouri, where Gov. Jay Nixon and St. Louis-area law enforcement held a news conference this week on their own preparations.

KU Catering needs to have more options
A catering order for six gallons of juice through KU Residential Dining costs $33. Another six pounds of pretzels cost $12, and two pounds of mixed nuts cost $16, which excludes a delivery fee. The delivery does, however, include the cambro (the large multi-gallon containers with pour spouts), cups and compostable bowls.
These items were recently ordered for a program hosted on campus for the student population. If you were not aware, any event held on the KU campus with food must be ordered through KU Catering. There are a few exceptions with outdoor grilling and Pizza Shuttle, but for the most part, if you host an on-campus event and order food through another service, you violate a campus rule. Anyone who attends a SILC workshop will soon learn these facts, along with other things on about leading student organizations.
As someone who has ordered through KU Catering
before, I initially felt peeved by the prices. But after further research, KU Catering's prices are on par with other catering services. KU Catering buys in bulk and uses this to its advantage when fulfilling catering requests just as other organizations do. So, being upset over the price list is futile.
Instead, we should be peeved that KU Catering forces itself on campus as a monopoly. If it has the best options, prices and location, then why wouldn't it be the natural choice? It should not have to mandate themselves on all meals if this were true.
But alas, this is not the case.
Even when the engineering school orders pizza for their numerous events, it is done through KU Catering. While the Union or KU employees do not make the pizzas ordered for the events, the food still must be ordered through KU Catering's service. This seems absurd.
KU Catering claims a monopoly because it can, and it protects consumers from falling ill to an untested catering service. But this really limits our options and freedom of choice. KU Catering will not always have what I desire to feed people. For example, candy bars fall under this exception.
Additionally, KU Catering does not offer very specific items, because it is unable to attain them through its suppliers. This means if I want to have real fruit juice popsicles, then I am out of luck. Only the artificial, high sugar content options are available.
Instead of being annoyed by KU Catering's prices, we should be annoyed by the lack of a full range of options and how we cannot veer outside their realm.

Protesting commencement speakers is wrong
By Adam Timmerman
@AdamTweets4You
its safe to say a college commencement ceremony is one of the biggest moments in a young person's life. After more than a decade's worth of schooling, it's finally time to graduate and start life. The University of Kansas has a gorgeous commencement ceremony tradition where students get to walk through the Campanile, down the hill and into the football stadium. Unfortunately, another tradition is on the rise, nationally, when it comes to commencement ceremonies:
If you've read the news lately or follow Bill Maher, you know Maher's invitation to speak at Berkley's December graduation ceremony is being protested. His comments about Islam in an exchange with Ben Affleck caused the students to protest.
protesting and disinviting commencement speakers. This problem needs to stop before it spreads to more universities.
But Maher is nowhere near being the first commencement speaker to be protested this past year. Rutgers University, Smith College and Haverford College students protested to the point that former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Christine Lagarde of the International Monetary Fund and physicist Robert J. Birgeneau
respectively withdrew. Brandeis University, Azusa Pacific University, Pasadena City College and the University of California, Irvine, respectively withdrew invitations to Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Charles Murray, Dustin Lance Black and Nonie Darwish. The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education reported that from 2009-11, students made 27 attempts to disinvite commencement speakers, and since 2012, 42 attempts have been made.
It's apparent this trend is growing and it needs to stop. One such reason is that protesting commencement speakers infringes upon the right to freedom of speech and the idea that universities are supposed to be open to all ideas. Universities should
be places where ideas can be shared and debated — not where students veto or protest speakers because they believe in a different ideology. It says something about this problem when former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg commented and lectured Harvard students during their commencement about the wrongs of suppressing different opinions.
Speakers are entitled to their own beliefs. They do not represent the university, nor do they represent the student body. If you don't like what they say, then don't listen or debate with them in a respectable manner later on, but do not heckle them.
It's an honor to have a high-profile speaker for commencement, regardless of their beliefs. As a Republican,
I would not protest at all if President Obama, Hilary Clinton or Senator Harry Reid spoke at my commencement ceremony this spring. The fact that they would even be there is special, and it opens someone up to different viewpoints, perspectives and ideas.
Protesting to the point where a commencement speaker can't even do the job they were asked to do suppresses ideas and opinions, which, in turn, defeats the purpose of going to a university altogether. Ideas are meant to be exchanged on campus and not silenced because they're different.

Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels star in the movie "Dumb and Dumber To." The sequel comes 20 years after the original "Dumb and Dumber."
Humor of 'Dumb and Dumber To' lacks wit
By Alex Lamb
@Lambcannon
The Farrelly brothers made a comedy cult classic with their first film, "Dumb and Dumber," but have failed to reach those enduringly hilarious heights again. Following several other solid comedies in the '90s, their work took a drastic dip in the new millennium and hasn't since risen above decent, at best. Now, 20 years after they began, they've returned to their idiotic origins with "Dumb and Dumber To," which lives up to its title but not its legacy.
Stupidity is the name of the game here, and because Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels are
so devoted to their bumbling buffoon characters, this sequel does offer some moderate laughs. Carrey's physical comedy talents, when not obnoxious, can still put a silly, giant grin on viewers' faces, recalling the extreme expressiveness of silent film stars with all the subtlety of a screeching 6-year-old. Daniels plays dumb with a more straightforward oafishness, like a slower-witted and more easily pleased cousin of the Three Stooges.
Opening with Lloyd (Carrey) revealing his 20-year coma as a prank on his best friend Harry (Daniels), the two reunite and discover Harry fathered a daughter 22 years before. The duo of dunes set out to find her, Harry wanting to be a parent to her and Lloyd wanting to marry the beautiful girl (Rachel Melvin) — unbeknownst to Harry. The girl's scientific genius adoptive father (Steve Tom) tasks them with bringing her a valuable package at a science conference, while his wife (Laurie Holden) and her lover (Rob Riggle) scheme to get rid of Harry and Lloyd and take the package for themselves.
VISIT KANSAN.COM FOR THE DUMBEST QUOTES FROM DUMB AND DUMBER TO
Oblivious behavior leads the laughs — the idiots not knowing common phrases, how to act in situations, what certain things are and what's going on around them. There's a line of ridiculousness that, when these gags stay under
it, the jokes frequently hit. But often they go overboard, either in the writing or performance, and the gags lose their comedic value as they go from dumb and funny to just simply dumb.
Sudden childlike behavior, such as when the adoptive father turns away from talking to Harry and Lloyd and when he turns back, they're under an upside-down couch they've made a fort out of, works to great effect. Or when they scoot across an entire row of sitting audience members, loudly making their presence known and openly criticizing the TED talk-like speaker and everyone around them.
Other gags, including most of the lowly body and gross-out humor (besides a surprisingly funny "he who smelt it dealt it" game in the car) feel like lazy, immature attempts
at humor. And while a number of pop culture references are good for a chuckle, some of them feel like jabbing reminders of things instead of real jokes. A "Breaking Bad" reference that shows Harry's roommate wearing a yellow hazard suit and breaking up blue crystal meth offends with its obviousness, made even worse because it's a Bill Murray cameo that would be fairly funny if only viewers could tell it was him.
What's really disappointing about "Dumb and Dumber To" is how most of the clever wit behind the humor in the original — how it hooked viewers into its inherent silliness — has been replaced by dumb humor that's lacking intelligence in its design. Sure, it's still good for some laughs, but they have little mileage.

also introduce the members of International Leadership team, recognizing their hard work this semester. The International Leadership Team is a group of returning students who have been selected and paired up with small groups of incoming international students to help acclimate them to the University.
Rahul Raghavan, a student from Trivandrum, India, said it is special for him to help first year international students as part of the International Leadership Team. After moving to the U.S. last August, Raghavan said he felt hostile leaving his home country and was not sure about his decision to come to the United States.
He said he helped out other
international students by meeting and talking to them individually, and by giving them advice about life in the U.S. and Kansas. One student in particular later thanked Raghavan for talking to him. He said the student will now be joining the orientation team because he recognized how important the team is.
Sweat said a lot of international students travel to Kansas with few connections or none at all, and adjusting to a new environment with a different language and culture can be difficult. He said it is important to help these students, since they are going through one of the most important times of their lives.
"If I were to think about sending my own children to a school outside of my hand reach, let alone, outside of
my country, I would want to know that there are people caring and taking action, and whose job is to reach out to students and make sure that my son or daughter knew that they are cared for," Sweat said.
"I think KU really treats everyone the same. Like every Jayhawk is a Jayhawk."
PUTERI AHMAD Freshman from Petaling Jaya, Malaysia
Puteri Ahmad, a freshman from Petaling Jaya, Malaysia, had visited the U.S. when she was young. However, she was worried about going to college in the U.S. because of her religious beliefs.
"I thought it was going to be kind of hard because I am a Muslim, and I am wearing the scarf," Ahmad said. "I was actually really scared to come, but once I came here in Lawrence, and I met the people in Lawrence, and how friendly they are and saw how diverse it is here, I could fit in quite easily and quickly."
Ahmad said a week long orientation for international students provided lots of information on living in the U.S., which helped her feel welcome and better adjusted during the transition.
"I don't feel any different from anyone, even though we are international students," Ahmad said. "I think KU really treats everyone the same. Like every Jayhawk is a Jayhawk. So you get the same opportunities, treatments and same involvement at KU.
It's like you have a family here."
Raghavan emphasized the importance of the initial first month for international students.
"Without the orientation, it would be pretty much just leaving you in the wild and trying to guess how to live a life in the U.S." Raghavan said.
"To be able to help people enjoy their experience at KU and benefit from their time here at KU, I think it's really valuable," he said.
Sweat said it is so meaningful to help, support and engage students going through these challenges because he is passionate about the University and passionate about helping others.

Family, friends mourn death of WVU fraternity pledge
785-843-4266
TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
MORGANTOW, W. Va. — During his short life, Nolan M. Burch had an energy that pulled people together and lifted others when they were down.
Fittingly, in that spirit, hundreds — most of them fellow students — gathered in the cold on the West Virginia University campus Friday evening to comfort each other as they remembered the young man during a brief candlelight vigil on the green outside the student union.
“It's obvious to all of us who knew Nolan that the contagious smile he put on all of our faces came from Nolan just being Nolan,” said fraternity brother Jordon Hankins, 21. “He was always around and never alone. People seemed to flock to him as if his spirit held this type of radiating energy which pulled others closer.”
"The two or three months I knew Nolan were the two or three brightest months of my life," said Matt Barnard, 22, one of two Kappa Sigma fraternity brothers who spoke of Burch, 18, a fraternity pledge who died early Friday.
Burch, a pre-sports management major from Williamsville, N.Y., died at Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown, two days after he was found unresponsive on the floor of an off-campus fraternity house, an incident WVU officials have characterized as a "catastrophic medical emergency."
WVU President E. Gordon Gee released a statement expressing his condolences
and shared similar sentiments on Twitter.
"Words cannot describe the heartache we, as a West Virginia University family, feel at the loss of one of our own — Nolan Michael Burch — who passed away today," the statement said. "The outpouring of love and support from his friends and this community has been what you would expect from Mountaineers, and I would ask that you continue to keep the Burch family and many friends in your thoughts and prayers."
"He was always around and never alone. People seemed to flock to him as if his spirit held this type of radiating energy which pulled others closer."
MATT BARNARD

"I hope the entire WVU community understands how precious every life is to this University," Gee later tweeted. "We must help to prevent similar tragedies."
Burch's sister, Alex, wrote in part on Instagram: "It was truly an honor to be your sister. Words cannot describe the pain I'm feeling right now... I'm going to miss the connection we had with each other, how we could just make eye contact and start giggling for no reason, I'm going to miss your insane laugh, and the way we would protect each
other, and even fighting with you."
In a statement Friday, the national Kappa Sigma organization in Charlottesville, Va., said the fraternity is investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident.
"We are distraught and saddened by the news about West Virginia University student Nolan Burch," the statement reads.
Kappa Sigma said the operations of the WVU chapter had been suspended since mid-October because of "previous, unrelated violations of Kappa Sigma's Code of Conduct." Also, the chapter and school were notified Monday that the group's charter had been withdrawn and its operations had been closed.
Morgantown police Chief Ed Preston said Thursday that the first officer who responded to the Kappa Sigma fraternity house shortly before midnight Wednesday found someone performing CPR on Burch, who was on the floor, not breathing and without a pulse.
The chief would not provide details of the incident but said Burch had no apparent traumatic injuries. He said Friday that detectives are investigating whether the incident involved hazing, alcohol or other activities. The West Virginia chief medical examiner has yet to release the cause of death.
Kappa Sigma statement says. "Our thoughts and prayers are with the Burch family, the West Virginia University community and the young men of our former chapter as they cope with this tragedy."
Wednesday's incident and a Nov. 6 alcohol-fueled disturbance in a residential city neighborhood also involving a fraternity prompted school officials to suspend most Greek activities.
On campus, students were stunned by the news of the young man's death.
"Everyone's heartbroken," said Stephanie Musso, 19, a member of the Delta Gamma sorority.
Another Delta Gamma member, Clarissa Congie, 20, recalled the death of fellow sorority sister Sarah Marie Graham, 21, who was killed last year in a vehicle crash on Interstate 79 in Washington County. Congie said she attended the vigil to support Kappa Sigma.
"While we investigate, the Fraternity is focused on working with the university to ensure that the proper support and counseling is available to the individual members of our former chapter," the
"We know how it is to lose a sister," she said.
Matt Mister, 20, a Delta Tau Delta member, took a long dinner break from his job at Sam's Club to attend the vigil. He said he didn't know Burch personally but knows some who did.

"It's really gratifying to see that happening because again to everybody it was a bunch of garbage in the landfill. You're kind of nutty to go dig it up," Lewandowski told KRQE-TV.

Atari games buried in landfill net $37K on eBay
Joe Lewandowski, a consultant for the film companies that documented the dig, says the online auction, which ended Thursday, generated $37,000.
ALAMOGORDO, N.M.
— What some have called the worst video game ever made has fetched thousands of dollars for a New Mexico city.
The games were part of a cache of some 800 Atari video games buried more than 30 years ago in a landfill and dug up in April.
The "E.T." game, still in its original box, sold for $1,537 to a buyer in Canada. The interest in the games has gone global. According to Lewandowski, online bidders from other countries including Germany and Sweden snapped up items. Earlier this month, a museum in Rome opened an exhibit on the dig that includes dirt from the landfill.
These past couple of days ... you feel the sadness around," he said. "No one wants to talk about it."
An old "E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial" game cartridge drew the highest bid among 100 Atari games auctioned on eBay by Alamogordo officials.
Matt Carter, 20, a member of another fraternity, Alpha Sigma Phi, said he was "deeply saddened" by the news.
"I keep getting messages
"It's a shock factor, very emotional. It's difficult to see a fellow Mountaineer like that."
Reports that truckloads of the game were buried in the landfill have been urban legend since the early '80s. The "E.T." game's poor reception when it came out in 1982 was seen as a factor in Atari's demise.
City documents show that
from people around the world asking me if there's any more left, it's crazy," Lewandowski told the Alamogordo Daily News. "The people that lost the bids are demanding more but I keep telling them they have to keep checking."
Atari consoles and more than 1,300 games were found, including "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial." Some of the other discovered titles include "Centipedes," "Warlords" and "Asteroids."
After months of planning with state and local regulators, crews discovered numerous game cartridges on April 26. The dig cost more than $50.000. Lewandowski said.
LightBox Entertainment and Fuel Entertainment pursued the dig for a documentary that is due to come out Thursday.

Big scoring runs lift Kansas over UCSB 69-59
CHRISTIAN HARDY
@HardyNFL
Twelve minutes into the Kansas season opener against University of California, Santa Barbara, Allen Fieldhouse hadn't yet awoken from its eight-month slumber. At that point, the fieldhouse had been at its loudest during introductions and the Jayhawks were trailing, 13-12.
That changed in a hurry. Within minutes, Allen Fieldhouse arose. It finally felt as though Kansas basketball was back. The Jayhawks suddenly went on an 11-2 run to regain a lead they wouldn't relinquish in a 69-59 victory against UCSB.
"We need to win games," coach Bill Self said. "We're not going to play great all the time. We need to develop an identity. ... We need to win ugly games. Tonight was one of those games."
It was the runs that pushed the Jayhawks over the Gauchos on opening night. The first run was led by freshman
point guard Devonte' Graham and his three buckets as well as a transition 3-pointer from sophomore guard Brannen Greene that got the crowd off its feet for the first time of the night.
UCSB came in position to take the lead with 13:50 left in the second half, pulling the game to 39-37. But that's when Kansas began its second run.
It started with an and-one on a driving lay-up from sophomore point guard Frank Mason after a feed from junior forward Perry Ellis. After a UCSB bucket, Kansas went off. The climax of the 16-4 run came when freshman Svi Mykhailiuk crossed a UCSB defender, drove to the bucket and dished a swift pass to fellow freshman Cliff Alexander, who put down a two-handed hammer.
the crowd "oohed" at Mykhailiuk's moves, then exploded when Alexander put home the dunk. It was the loudest the fieldhouse got all night.
thing especially when you're at home," said Graham, who finished with a team-high 14 points. "It's like having extra players on the court."
"The crowd is always a good
The freshmen got a good taste of a regular season game in the Allen Fieldhouse, but they also executed sharply during the second-half run. Eleven of the team's 16 points came from Mykhailiuk and Alexander on that run, and the first-half run came as a result of Graham's hot hand. The three combined for 27 of the Jayhawks' 69 points.
"Our bench was the best tonight," Self said. "Our bench was better than our starters tonight, at least a few players were."
"That's what we play to," Self said. "You've got to be patient. Then when you have a chance to have three or four good possessions in a row, you take advantage of it."
That second-half streak secured the win, as Kansas never lost its 10-point lead in the final nine minutes.

Gardner sets milestone helps Kansas win opener
SCOTT CHASEN
@SCHasenKU
The Kansas women's basketball team defeated the South Dakota Coyotes 68-60 on Sunday, thanks in part to an incredible performance by senior forward Chelsea Gardner. Despite playing just 24 minutes due to foul trouble, Gardner poured in 24 points and 11 rebounds, while adding four blocks.
"She is pretty tough [to guard]," said South Dakota coach Amy Williams after the game. "We don't see that kind of player every day."
In the second half, Gardner became the 10th Jayhawk under coach Bonnie Henrickson to reach 1,000 career points, as she hit a key basket in the closing minutes to tie the game at 55-all. Following the basket, the Jayhawks would put the game away with a 13-5 run.
While Gardner's double-double was certainly impressive, the Jayhawks got an added boost from another senior, guard Natalie Knight. With Gardner in foul trouble for much of the game, Knight stepped up with 15 points, seven rebounds and five steals. Perhaps the most impressive statistic from her performance was that she did not commit a single turnover in 39 minutes.
"[Coach Henrickson] emphasizes all the time that in close games every possession matters," Knight said. "I've always valued taking care of the ball and not turning it over, and it was really more important [to do so] in this game than in previous games."
"She is pretty tough (to guard). We don't see that kind of player every day."
AMY WILLIAMS

Chelsea Gardner
For Kansas, much of the struggles came against South Dakota's 2-3 zone, especially in the Jayhawks' inability to hit on open 3-point shots. The Jayhawks made just 2-of-16 3-point attempts, both in the first half.
as she missed all seven of her field goal attempts, but was able to help out in other ways, leading the team in assists and racking up two rebounds and two steals.
Freshman guard Lauren Aldridge, in particular, struggled to shoot the ball.
Aldridge ended the game with 11 points, all coming on free throws, and after the game, Henrickson complimented her ability to stay calm under pressure.
"She's got poise and composure," Henrickson said. "[Lauren] is a mentally tough kid, and she has good shot mechanics, [so with those coupled] I'm not surprised she had that kind of success at the line."
The Jayhawks will have a quick turnaround, as their next game will take place Tuesday against Texas Southern, which finished 20-13 last season, including a loss to the Jayhawks. In that game, Tigers' guard Jazzmin Parker scored 34 points in 34 minutes, but the team's 25 turnovers made it impossible for them to stay in the game. Parker is a senior this year, and containing her may very well be the key for the Jayhawks to win the upcoming game.

“[Graham] just has such a nice feel for the game and he definitely got the crowd into the game,” UCSB coach Bob Williams said. “He's a special player, [Kansas] knew that when it got him.”
general — than the sophomore. Graham creates plays; he rarely forces a shot, but he also doesn't hesitate to take one if it's there.
He saw 26 minutes of action Friday night; Mason received 25. When both were on the court at the same time, it was usually Graham who took the ball up, not Mason.
Before the season, Self mentioned he had a starting five in mind held like to see by the beginning of Big 12 play. After how he's been utilized early in the year, it's hard to imagine that lineup doesn't include Graham at the point.
The starting two-guard spot is still very much undecided; if both Graham and Mason continue to excel, it's not a stretch to envision Graham taking over at point and Mason regularly manning the two.
Considering how Graham played on Friday, that time may come sooner than later.
middle Orrham at the point.
"I thought that Devonte' was the most ready to play of all the freshman as far as having an understanding," Self said.
"I'm not saying he's the most talented, but it doesn't surprise me that he's played well."

KEY PLAYS
Perry Ellis' fall-away jumper with 10:42 left in the first half
Greene missed a 3-pointer, and the rebound took a big arch. Ellis snatched up the board and put up a short off-balance jumper which went down, as he ended up on the ground. It was a good example of the physical night Ellis had.
This was the first time Allen Fieldhouse really got loud. Graham had previously knocked down a shot. Kansas was able to get into transition after a missed three from UCSB's Gabe Vincent. Greene stopped on the right-wing and knocked down a trey. Graham then followed with two more quick buckets to put Kansas up 23-15.
Brennan Greene knocks down transition 3-pointer with 7:04 left in the first half
Frank Mason takes feed from Ellis for an and-one at the 13:16 mark of the second half
Ellis got the ball on a screen on the left-wing. Mason drove, Ellis dished and Mason took a hard foul but put the ball through the net. It ended a 10-0 UCSB run.
Mykhailiuk grabbed the defensive rebound, got the ball back to the top of the key, crossed the UCSB defender and drove to the lane, looking to put a shot up. Instead, he dished to Alexander who put down a two-handed jam. That was the height of a 16-4 Kansas run.

Kansas nearly pulls off big upset against TCU
BLAIR SHEADE
@RealBlairSheady
Kansas (3-9, 1-6) was on the edge of its biggest upset victory of the season, leading No.4 TCU (9-1, 7-1) 13-10 at half, and holding the Horned Frogs to their lowest half total of the season.
But just when it looked too good to be true, TCU scored 24 points in the second half on its way to a 34-30 victory.
"It's been a message to our kids for weeks that they're Big 12 football players, too," interim head coach Clint Bowen said. "They chose to come to Kansas to play in Big 12 games, to play against teams like TCU. They're here to play Big 12 football. You go out and you play well and compete every game. That's what our players did today."
After Kansas and TCU exchanged punches to start the second half, the Horned Frogs scored 17 unanswered points to bust open a 34-27 lead, one they would not surrender.
The 17 unanswered points didn't come easily or consecutively. The Kansas defense made stops, but the offense couldn't get anything rolling after scoring on its first two possessions in the second half.
After Kansas extended the lead to 27-17, Kansas senior kicker Trevor Pardula forced a fumble against TCU sophomore wide receiver Cameron Echols-Luper on the kickoff. Kansas forced two fumbles and an interception for a plus-two turnover ratio.
"Plus two, you've got a chance," Bowen said. "It was always a big indicator of the turnover battle. And they're an explosive team. Even a plus two wouldn't be any guarantees. But plus two
gives you a chance. And four minutes to go in the game we had a chance"
The following Kansas drive was a three-and-out, giving the ball back to TCU after one minute and 30 seconds of offense.
After the three-and-out, TCU opened the floodgates. TCU junior quarterback Trevone Boykin led an eight-play, 80-yard drive that ended in a 24-yard touchdown run by junior running back Aaron Green, narrowing the deficit to three points.
The next two Kansas possessions were also three-and-outs, and both TCU possessions following those Kansas drives finished with points on the board.
First. Echols-Luper redeemed himself after the fumble and returned a punt 69 yards to give the Horned Frogs their first lead since the first quarter.
The second three-and-out for the Jayhawks followed with a TCU drive that ended in a field goal and gave the Horned Frogs a 34-27 lead.
The beginning of the second half gave Kansas hope it could stay with the fourth-best scoring offense in the nation because the Jayhawks started the second half with a score.
"We found a way to go win the ballgame," TCU coach Gary Patterson said.
Junior quarterback Michael Cummings made a connection with senior tight end Jimmy Mundine, looking his direction twice during the first possession in the second half. On the second catch, Mundine turned a 10-yard play into a 67-yard pickup. Mundine, who caught a career-high 137 yards, broke three tackles on the play and was brought down at the TCU 3-yard line.
The Horned Frogs responded with a 9-play, 72-yard drive. Boykin passed flawlessly by going 4-for-4 for 55 yards and rushed for another 10 yards on the drive. Green capped off the drive with a 3-yard touchdown run, and narrowed Kansas' lead to 20-17.
Cummings scored three plays later on a 1-yard rush and gave Kansas a 20-10 lead, which was the largest lead of the game.
The following Kansas possession, the Jayhawks added to the lead on one play. The play was supposed to be a bitch pattern for junior wide receiver Nigel King, but it ended up as a 73-yard touchdown. Cummings threw into double-coverage, and TCU cornerback Kevin White deflected the pass. King caught the deflection and there wasn't a TCU defender in sight.
"My biggest focus on that ball that was tipped was to keep my feet in bounds because I felt like the defenders took the ball out-of-bounds," King said. "When I realized that I could catch the ball and possibly score, I was focusing on keeping my feet in bounds and catching the ball at the same time."
King finished the game with 128 yards receiving. King and Mundine were the first Kansas duo to have more than 100 yards receiving in the same game since Dezmon Briscoe and Kerry Meier accomplished it in 2009.
"Mike [Cummings] throws it out there, Nigel [King] goes and gets it, Jimmay [Mundine] is making plays." Bowen said. "They're starting to develop some chemistry. And I believe it's a result of the way we practice, the way we prepared, and it's starting to show up."

Women's soccer season ends with tourney loss to Missouri
SKYLAR ROLSTAD
@SkyRolSports
For the first time in three years, the Border War was renewed between the Kansas and Missouri women's soccer teams. This time, Missouri won the match 3-1, moving on to the Round of 32 in the NCAA Tournament.
"I think we lost the game today because Missouri was better than we were," coach Mark Francis said. "You have to give them credit, I thought they came out and outhustled us a little bit."
The Tigers jumped into an early lead with forward Taylor Grant finishing a cross just under three minutes into the match. Grant was Missouri's key player in the game, scoring a goal in the second half as well.
"They came out in a different formation that we weren't expecting, so we adjusted a little bit at halftime which I think definitely helped us offensively," Francis said. "We created a lot more [opportunities] but I think on the day the best team won."
Missouri began the game with quick passing on the wings, and dominated the first half with seven corner kicks and 10 shots, compared to no corner kicks and six shots for Kansas.
The 4-4-2 formation Missouri typically plays with was instead replaced by a 3-5-2, which the Tigers used to exploit Kansas' midfield of only three players.
Francis also commented on
Missouri's close marking of Kansas playmaker Liana Salazar. The junior midfielder was unable to make a big impact on the game until she redirected a shot into the goal in the 57th minute to make the score 2-1.
"It's just part of the game," Salazar said about her struggles in parts of the game. "Some things work and some do not."
"It's been a really good year, we finished third in the league, won 15 games and broke a bunch of scoring records."
The goal generated some momentum for Kansas, but Missouri's Kaysie Clark would later finish a chance that sealed the win for the Tigers, 3-1.
MARK FRANCIS Soccer coach
"The killer was [Missouri's] third goal," Francis said. "When we scored, I thought we had the momentum and I really thought we were going to come back, I had no doubt in my mind. The third goal was the killer blow."
"Trying to maintain the lead was really good, so I think it was huge for us to get relief for our defense." Grant said.
Although the teams are now in separate conferences, the Border War rivalry still motivated senior defender Caroline Van Slambrouck. In 2011, when the Jayhawks last faced the Tigers, Missouri also won.
With a third-place finish in the Big 12 and a national ranking as high as No.9, Kansas can consider the 2014 season an encouraging one, despite the early exit from the tournament.
Kansas is not a team that gives up goals often. This game was only the third occasion this season that the Jayhawks gave up three goals in a single game.
"You definitely feel a sense of a rivalry," Van Slambrouck said. "We also played them three years ago so the senior class was the last class that got it. I think the seniors understood it more."
"We have to look back with pride of what we accomplished as a group," Francis said. "It's been a really good year, we finished third in the league, won 15 games and broke a bunch of scoring records."
"A year from now, we need to be sitting here having played in the first round again," Francis said. "Because I think with this facility there's no reason that making the NCAA Tournament can't be an expectation. It shouldn't be a goal."
According to Francis, the team should expect to achieve even more in the future.
Kansas' brand new stadium, Rock Chalk Park, was finished for the beginning of the 2014 season.

Kentucky poses big challenge for young Jayhawks
On Tuesday, the Kansas men's basketball team will face one of its biggest tests of the
+
one of its biggest tests of the early 2014-15 season. The Jayhawks will face off against the No.1 ranked Kentucky Wildcats in the State Farm Champions Classic, which is being held in Indianapolis, Ind. This will be the third time since 2011 Kansas and Kentucky have faced each other. The last time the Jayhawks met the Wildcats was at the Super dome in New Orleans in 2012. An ultra-talented Kentucky team, led by Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, — the first and second overall picks in the 2012 NBA Draft
- defeated the Jayhawks 67-59 to win its eighth national championship.
Kentucky coach John Calipari known as one of the top recruiters in the country, brought in the No. 2-ranked recruiting class in the nation in 2014, according to Rivals.com. The Wildcats add No.5 recruit Karl Towns Jr., No.13 recruit Trey Lyles, No.21 recruit Tyler Ulis and No.29 recruit Devin Booker

to a number of stellar returners, including guards Aaron (13.7 points per game, 3 rebounds per game) and Andrew (10.9 points per game, 4 assists per game) Harrison, center Willie Cauley-Stein (6.8 points per game, 2.9 blocks per game) and forward Alex Poythress (5.9 points per game, 4.5 rebounds per game).
Kentucky's blend of talented newcomers and stud returners has made it a popular pick among media members to win the 2015 NCAA National Championship. The Wildcats will be a very tough early-season test for the Jayhawks, especially with their size. Kentucky has nine contributing players who are at least 6-foot-6, whereas the Jayhawks have eight contributing
players taller than that. That size disparity will make a difference on rebounding and shot blocking. The size of Kentucky may very well play a huge part in deciding the outcome of the game.
THE BREW
Kansas has historically struggled in the Champions Classic series. They go into Tuesday night with a 1-2 record in the series, losing to Kentucky in 2011 and Michigan State
in 2012. However, the Jayhawks were able to buck that losing streak with a 94-83 over the Duke Blue Devils in last year's Classic. A win against Kentucky could bring this young Kansas team a massive confidence boost that could propel the Jayhawks through a tough nonconference schedule, with upcoming games against Florida, Georgetown and Utah, as well as a possible bout
against Michigan State in Orlando. It is not inconceivable that Kansas could end up upsetting Kentucky on Tuesday night.The Jayhawks certainly have the talent and depth to do it. Kansas will likely need some secondary players to step up and be X-factors.Those
candidates could include freshman Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk, sophomore Brannen Greene or junior Hunter Mickelson. If everything comes together, there could be some big parties happening around Lawrence.

After showing he can run with the best of them at the Big 12 Championships, junior Jacob Morgan again stayed close to the lead Friday afternoon at the NCAA Midwest Regional Championships in Peoria, Ill. Morgan found himself in the pack of 25 runners leading the way for the duration of the race. At around the 5,000-meter mark, Morgan turned on the jets
and took the lead.
While Morgan lost the lead before the end of the race, he didn't fall back too far, finishing in seventh place—the highest finish by a KU male since 2007. His time of 30:17.6 earned him All-Region accolades for the second time in his career.
Morgan now heads to Terra Haute, Ind., after receiving an at-large bid for the NCAA Championships. He will run in the final race of the season on Saturday, Nov. 22, at 1 p.m.
Senior James Wilson also ran wild, starting the race in the lead pack with Morgan. Sadly for Wilson, an unfavorable trip doomed his chances to join Morgan with All-Region accolades. Wilson recovered from the trip, though, and he powered through for a 69th-place finish with a time of 31:11.8.
Kansas' next three finishers all placed within the top 101 runners (out of 207). Freshman Chris Malgares ended an impressive first year with
a/8th-place finish, running the 10K in 31:19.4. Sophomore Tyler Yunk finished with a 31:21.8 time for 82nd place, while freshman Carson Vickroy finished 101st with a 31:38.9 time.The men scored 330 points, putting them in 13th place for the regional meet out of 29 teams.
For the women, sophomore Nashia Baker again led the way, finishing first for Kansas — the fifth time this season. Baker's 6K time of 21:35.1 was good enough for an 85th-
place finish (out of 222). Following Baker was sophomore Kelli McKenna, who ran close with Baker the entire race, finishing just two seconds later with a 21:37.4 time and an 89th-place finish.
Following closely behind McKenna was sophomore Courtney Coppinger, who initially was in the lead for the Jayhawks. Coppinger finished fewer than four seconds behind McKenna, keeping true to the pack mentality the women ran with all season
long. Coppinger's time of 21:41.0 earned her a 95thplace finish.
Finishing out the women's top five runners were sophomore Rachel Simon and junior Haley Francis. They finished with times of 21:41.0 and 21:49.3, which earned them 96th- and 104th-place finishes, respectively.
The women's squad ended its season placing 14th out of 32 at the regional meet.

COMMENTARY
Graham shines makes case for starting spot
C
By Kyle Pappas @KylePap
During Kansas basketball's media day prior to the season, coach Bill Self said guard Devonte' Graham is "as popular as anybody on campus" and "everybody likes him."
Just one official game into the season, and it's easy to see why.
The freshman from North Carolina has an infectious attitude; he's one of the Jayhawks most animated players and can routinely be seen talking to himself and teammates on the court. Self said he was Kansas' most consistent defender, following the team's win against Emporia State, and he hustles like he's battling for a starting spot — likely because he is.
"He'll definitely fight for starting minutes, there's no question about that," Self said at media day.
Though sophomore Frank Mason got the starting nod at point against University of California, Santa Barbara on Friday night, Graham's stock has risen as much as any Jayhawk has over the past couple weeks.
He should have the opportunity to crack the starting lineup at some point this season.
Though it's early in the year, thus far, Graham has looked every part of the point guard that Self's teams have clearly lacked over the past four seasons: levelheaded, consistent and unselfish.
Instead of fouling or simply stepping aside, the 6-foot-2, 175-pound Graham firmly planted his feet and braced for impact.
After strong performances in both of Kansas' exhibition games — he averaged 9.5 points and three assists Graham followed up with a team-high 14 points against UC Santa Barbara on Friday night.
The epitome of Graham's play came on a superb defensive play midway through the second half. After a Kansas miscue on offense, 6-foot-8, 265 pound UCSB forward Alan Williams ended up with the ball, barrelling down the court.
Only Graham remained in his path to the basket.
He was 5-for-8 from the field and made three consecutive jumps over a one-and-a-half-minute span to spark a crucial Jayhawk run in the first half.
But limiting Graham to the numbers in his stat line doesn't do his play justice.
"Man, he came in and stepped up, and that's what we need from our freshman," junior forward Perry Ellis said. "He did a great job, and we're looking for him to keep doing that."
Charge, Kansas' ball.
"It felt good, afterward."
Graham joked. "Definitely was [one of my favorite plays], had to be; it was a big momentum swing."
Mason has been impressive early on as well, but it's clear Graham is more of a point guard — more of a true court.

Ben Heeney highlights a special senior day for Kansas football
SHANE JACKSON

@jacksonShane3
It's the oldest story in the book. One day you are a bright-eyed 18 year old just entering college. The next, you are forced to say goodbye before you know it.
For 21 Kansas football seniors, Saturday marked the last time they would play a game in Memorial Stadium.
"I told them it's a day they will always remember," interim head coach Clint Bowen said. "Everyone who plays sports remembers their last game. It gets emotional for them. We have some
remarkable seniors in this class."
But there was one senior who was a lot harder to say goodbye to than the rest. One of the best linebackers in Kansas history put on the blue jayhawks jersey for the last time in front of 30,889 fans in Saturday's 34-30 loss to No. 4 TCU.
"It still hasn't sunk in yet," senior linebacker Ben Heeney said. "A lot of emotions are involved and watching the senior video was tough. It's tough knowing that is the last time I will play here."
Heeney's senior campaign has capped an already stellar resume as the Kansas middle linebacker. Only a few weeks ago, he logged 21 tackles against Texas Tech — the feat that marked the season high was also the most by a player from Kansas since 1979.
Coming into the game Heeney led the country in solo tackles per game with eight. He had topped the century mark for tackles the second
time of his career through the first nine games of this season.
first nine games of this season. Leading one of the best teams in the country all the way to the last two and a half minutes in the third quarter on his senior night was just the icing on the cake.
With Heeney leading the way, the Jayhawks played their most complete game performance in his time here, going down to the wire with the conference's best.
"The TCU players came up to us after the game and told us that we played our [tails] off," Heeney said. "They told us don't let anyone tell you that we don't belong because we do."
Although his performance was relatively quiet by "Heeney standards," the linebacker from Hutchinson wound up leading the team in tackles with 11.
"It was pretty close, probably so." Heeney said after being asked if this was the best Kansas has played in his career.
The defense in particular stood out against one of the better offenses in the country. The lajayhawks held a team that averaged 47 points a game to 30. They gave up just 330 yards of total offense to a team that averages 550.
"We played high level for a reason," senior defensive back JaCorey Shepherd said. "It was senior day and we wanted to leave our stamp."
Heeney couldn't disagree.
All afternoon seniors stepped up when it mattered most. Shepherd recorded two interceptions, although one got called back. Defensive back Dexter McDonald refused to give up big plays.
"We believe we are the best corners in the conference," Shepherd said.
Heeney couldn't disagree.
"I wouldn't want to throw at them." Heeney said.
Senior Victor Simmons forced a key fumble late in the game and senior Tedarius Johnson recovered it. Even senior punter Trevor Pardula forced a turnover on a kickoff
to receive a roaring approval from the sideline.
Several offensive players also got in on the mix. Senior tight end Jimmay Mundine finished with seven catches for 137 yards and a touchdown with the most receiving yards by a Kansas tight end since 1974.
"It was disappointing to lose on senior day," Mundine said. "I really hate losing."
It's hard to put a label on these 21 men. After all this is a group that hasn't won double-digit games in the past four years.
Perhaps what these men will be remembered for is not based on their win-loss record, but what they have done for the program. As fans have seen recently, this program is beginning to show some light.
"We are starting to make an identity here at Kansas," Heeney said.
These 21 men have had a lot to do with that.

Kansas overcomes UCSB, Alan Williams

@RealBlairSheady
The Kansas frontcourt had a tough matchup against University of California, Santa Barbara senior center Alan Williams on Friday, but came out on top as the Jayhawks (1-0) defeated the Gauchos (0-1) 69-59.
"I thought we'dve'g guarded [Williams] better," Kansas coach Bill Self said.
KU
Williams kept the Gauchos in the game all night by scoring and playing pressure defense against Kansas' top four frontcourt players, juniors Perry Ellis and Jamari Traylor, sophomore Landen Lucas and freshman Cliff Alexander.
Freshman guard Devonte' Graham is helped up by teammates after taking a charge in the second half. Kansas defeated UCSB 69-59.
Last season, Williams was an Associated Press Honorable Mention All-American averaging 21 points and 11 rebounds per game, and he was the same player Friday. Williams scored a game-high 22 points and grabbed a game-high 13 rebounds.
Williams said Kansas rotating the three "big dudes" was tough because he always played against a fresh body. Williams didn't make it look

tough recording his first double-double of the season.
The experience of Williams showed early facing the freshman Alexander. Williams forced Alexander out of the game by pumpfaking and forcing Alexander to foul. Alexander played only four minutes in the first half due to his foul trouble.
Traylor matched up against Williams most of the night, and Williams scored 14 of his 22 points against Traylor, but Self said Traylor played the best on Friday. The 10 rebounds Traylor grabbed overshadowed the points he gave up against Williams.
"jamari [Traylor] had a harder night to rebound because he was guarding the big fellow," Self said. "His job was to block him off, even if [Williams] didn't go after the
Williams' defense caused a lot of problems for the Kansas frontcourt in the first half, finishing with two blocks before halftime. All his blocks turned into a Gauchos basket.
The one player who gave Williams the most trouble was Lucas. During the seven minutes Lucas played in the first half, he held Williams to two points, and the Jayhawks went on a 9-0 run. Kansas took a 31-23 lead into halftime.
ball so someone else could go get [the ball]."
"He plays with a lot of energy and I thought he did a real good job." Ellis said.
The block party ended in the second half when the Kansas frontcourt discovered a way around Williams — take jump shots from the free-throw line. Alexander found that out earlier in the second half. After only scoring one point in the first half, Alexander went on a hot streak, scoring eight points in four minutes. Alexander took two jump shots from the free-throw line, and Self said he was wary of Alexander's shot-attempts.
The Jayhawks will take this victory into the fourth annual Champions Classic against Kentucky on Tuesday. Ellis said there is a lot to work

KBOR Student Senates oppose new amendment
MIRANDA DAVIS
@MirandaDavisUDK
This Wednesday, the Kansas Board of Regents will have the opportunity to vote on an amendment that would allow administrations at regents' schools to adjust fees without a referendum to consult the student body.
All student governments of regents-affiliated universities have decided to oppose the amendment and many have passed resolutions within their senates.
The amendment, which would affect KSA 76-742, questions the necessity of a referendum. Currently, any university administration that chooses to make a fee change must consult the student body and make the results public and available to the Board of Regents. The referendum is non-binding however, so once a university conducts the referendum — even if the
students vote against it the university can change the fee.
The stakes are high for those who oppose it. If the amendment passes, regents' universities could potentially use student tuition dollars for new buildings, while only "consulting" the student government leadership.
Two weeks ago, the University of Kansas Student Senate passed a resolution to oppose the resolution unanimously within committees, but also in full senate. Both Kansas State University and Wichita State have passed similar resolutions.
"I think that because Student Senate passed this unanimously in every committee it went through and on the full Senate level, that referendums are necessary and students

Waiting game continues for expelled student after hearing
CASSIDY RITTER
@CassidyRitter
After a hearing yesterday, Chief Judge Robert Fairchild ruled that the University will pay for the Navid Yeasin's lost tuition from the fall of 2013. However, Yeasin still awaits his fate for next semester.
Yeasin, a former student from Overland Park, was expelled shortly after midterms in the fall of 2013 due to a violation of the University's sexual harassment policy, the "No Contact" directive and a clarifying letter from the Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access, Erinn Barcomb-Peterson, director of KU news service, said in an email.
Yeasin went through a "bad breakup" in the summer of 2013. This led to a no-contact order in Johnson County in the summer and a no-contact order through the office of IOA in the fall of 2013. With frustration that the issue was brought to the University's attention, Yeasin published tweets expressing his anger and dissatisfaction. The six tweets involved in this case did not mention the ex-girlfriend and were not sent to her directly. However, IOA said this was in violation of the no-contact order.
The University expelled Yeasin under Article 19
of the Student Code of Conduct which reads, "While on University premises or at University sponsored or supervised events, or as required by city, state, or federal law, students and organizations are subject to disciplinary action for violations of published policies, rules and regulations of the University of Regents, and for the following offenses."
Fairchild also ruled a stay order on the Court of Appeals. This means Yeasin must prepare an order to reconsider. Once this order is in place, the University has a month to appeal Fairchild's orders.
If the University chooses to appeal yesterday's ruling, they have a month to do so. If this is the case, a decision will hopefully be made over the summer, Yeasin's lawyer Terry Leibold said.
In the meantime, Yeasin will continue to live in Lawrence working part time.
If there is no appeal, Yeasin will enroll for classes for the spring semester of 2015 and receive credit for his tuition in the fall of 2013. Yeasin was expelled prior to taking finals that semester; because of this he will retake these classes if he is allowed to enroll.

@RochelleVerde
A University graduate's brand of kombucha, a fermented tea, will soon be available on tap at the Merc Co-op's newly renovated Merc Cafe. KANbucha, Lawrence native Elliot Pees' brand, will be offered at the Merc Cafe, located at 901 Iowa St., starting Thursday, Nov. 20.
Pees said the first time he brewed kombucha, it wasn't good. It took him about a year of experimenting to make something he really liked and he said finally making a good batch was satisfying.
"It's kind of like when people play a sport, or like
After Pees's sister introduced him to kombucha in 2009, they brewed their first batch together. Pees said the do-it-yourself aspect of kombucha got him interested.
"Once we found out you could make it, we were like, 'oh, we've got to try,' because both she and I are kind of hands-on sort of people," Pees said.

Pees graduated from the University with a degree in music education in 2006. He left his position as a music teacher at Southwest Middle School in June to focus on his business. Before then,
"Basically because teaching is so demanding and running a business is so demanding, it kind of came down to being one or the other," Pees said. "I thought enough interest was building in KANbucha that it was sort of a now-or-never decision."

"I think that there's a lot to be said for taking a risk and just trying, even if you're scared how it's going to turn out," Pees said.

Mo. governor activates National Guard
A high school graduation photo of Michael Brown rests on top of a snow-covered memorial on Nov. 17, more than three months after the black teen was shot and killed nearby by a white policeman in Ferguson, Mo. The shooting sparked weeks of violent protests and Missouri Governor Jay Nixon declaring a state of emergency today as a grand jury deliberates on whether to charge Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson in the death.
DAVID A. LIEB Associated Press
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon declared a state of emergency Monday and activated the National Guard ahead of a grand jury decision about whether a white police officer will be charged in the fatal shooting of a black 18-year-old in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson.
ROBERT COHEN/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Nixon said the National Guard would assist state and local police in case the grand jury's decision leads to a resurgence of the civil unrest that occurred in the days immediately after the Aug. 9 shooting of Michael Brown by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson.
"My hope and expectation is that peace will prevail," Nixon said. "But we have a responsibility — I have a responsibility — to plan for any contingencies that might arise."
There is no specific date for a grand jury decision to be revealed, and Nixon gave no indication that an announcement is imminent. But St. Louis County prosecutor Bob McCulloch has said that he expects the grand jury to reach a decision in mid-to-late November.
The U.S. Justice Department, which is conducting a separate investigation, has not said when its work will be completed.
Before the shooting, Wilson spotted Brown and a friend walking in the middle of a street and told them to stop, but they did not. According to a St. Louis Post-Dispatch report based on sources the newspaper did not identify, Wilson has told authorities he then realized Brown matched the description of a suspect in a theft minutes earlier at a convenience store. Wilson backed up his police vehicle and some sort of confrontation occurred before Brown was fatally shot. He was unarmed and some witnesses have said he
Brown's shooting stirred long-simmering racial tensions in the St. Louis suburb, where two-thirds of the residents are black but the police force is almost entirely white. Rioting and looting a day after the shooting led police to respond to subsequent protests with a heavily armored presence that was widely criticized for continuing to escalate tensions. At times, protesters lobbed rocks and Molotov cocktails at police, who fired tear gas, smoke canisters and rubber bullets in an attempt to disperse crowds.
had his hands up when he was killed.
Nixon also declared a state
of emergency in August and put the Missouri State Highway Patrol in charge of a unified local police command. Eventually, Nixon activated the National Guard to provide security around the command center.
"My hope and expectation is that peace will prevail."

Department would be in charge of a security in Ferguson and would work with the Highway Patrol and St. Louis city police as part of a unified command to "protect civil rights and ensure public safety" in other jurisdictions.

The governor did not indicate how many National Guard troops would be mobilized, instead leaving it to the state adjutant general to determine. Nixon said the National Guard would be available to carry out any requests made through the Highway Patrol to "protect life and property" and support local authorities. If the Guard is able to provide
security at police and fire stations, then more police officers may be freed up to patrol the community, Nixon said.
St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay said Monday that he supports Nixon's decision to activate the Guard. He said the Guard "will be used in a secondary role" and could potentially be stationed at places such as shopping centers and government buildings.
"The way we view this, the Guard is not going to be confronting the protesters and will not be on (the) front line interacting directly with demonstrators," Slay said.

strongly believe that," said Will Admussen, government relations director and coauthor of the resolution.
The senate's opposition to the amendment stems from its wording, which would allow only "consultation" with student government leadership instead of a referendum of the entire student body.
Admussen said the word "consultation," the threshold that universities have to meet, is too unclear and allows for too much interpretation.
"It's open to way too much interpretation, especially down the road when you maybe get a student body president that isn't on top of this, and not just at KU, but all the KBOR schools," Admussen said. "You could get an off-year student body president, or you get an administration that really doesn't like Student Senate and their view of "consultation' extremely disenfranchises the student body when you're talking about student fees."
The student body presidents of all of the schools learned of the
amendment at the October regents meeting through the KBOR Student Advisory Council. After deciding the amendment was not in the best interest of their student bodies, the presidents moved to oppose it using resolutions of opposition from each school.

Kansas National Guard to head to West Africa

The Kansas National Guard will be sending approximately 170 soldiers to West Africa next spring as part of the U.S. military's efforts in the area to fight against Ebola.
According to a press release from the Kansas Adjutant General's Department, soldiers from the 891st Engineer Battalion will begin training next month, deploy starting spring of 2015 and be deployed between six months and a year.
"The 891st was selected because it has the right capabilities to fit the mission requirements," said Maj. Gen. Lee Tafanelli, Kansas Adjutant-General in a press release. "Our role in this mission is very critical in the overall fight against Ebola in West Africa."
Primarily, the 891st Engineer Battalion will be building medical facilities in the area when they deploy, having been authorized to join active duty forces in Operation United Assistance by executive order from President Obama signed Oct. 16, read the press release.
"As with any of our deployments, our highest priority is our soldiers' safety and well-being," said Tafanelli. "We will ensure we take all the necessary steps [and] make sure they have the proper training to accomplish their mission, as well as to ensure they have the correct protective measures in place."

Life sentence conviction in Chinese students' slayings
Photos provided by the Los Angeles Police Department show shooting victims Ming Qu, left, and Ying Wu, two students from China.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — A man convicted of killing two Chinese graduate students was sentenced Monday in Los Angeles to multiple life terms in prison by a judge who denounced him for showing no remorse and smiling while a grief-stricken victim's father spoke in court.
Javier Bolden made no comment during a lengthy hearing during which the mother of one victim sobbed and the father of another called him "human trash" and "a monster."
The killings drew international interest and fueled concerns in China about the safety of students abroad. Bolden, 22, was found guilty last month of shooting Ming Qu and Ying Wu as they sat in a double-parked car about a mile from the University of Southern California campus, where both were graduate students. His sentence includes two consecutive terms without possibility of parole.
Superior Court Judge Stephen Marcus said the killings put a stain on the reputation of the university and on the city of Los Angeles.
Wan Zhi Qu, the father of Ming Qu, said, "Our two outstanding children are gone, but the monsters who took their lives are still alive."
"Nothing will erase the pain you have caused," he told Bolden. "This is truly one of the saddest cases I have presided over."
A co-defendant, Bryan Barnes, who shot into the locked car where the students sat, pleaded guilty in February to two counts of first-degree murder and was
"You have committed heinous crimes against our families and the judgment you have received is not fair," said Qu, suggesting the two convicted killers should have received death.
"This is humiliating to the people of China," he said. "We have received no comfort or consolation from the responsible parties. As a society that is very particular about human rights and justice, do you think this is rational and fair?"
Authorities said Bolden told a cellmate that he shot the engineering students. The cellmate was a police informant and secretly recorded Bolden discussing how he and his friend had planned to steal the couple's BMW.
also sentenced to life without parole in a plea deal to avoid the death penalty.
Bolden also was convicted of attempted murder and assault with a firearm in earlier shootings that wounded two men and a woman.
He asked that the men be required to apologize to the families because, he said, until then their dead children could not rest in peace.
is within a mile of gangplagued neighborhoods with historically high crime rates. Since the 2012 killings the Los Angeles police department has assigned about 30 more officers to the university community.
The judge paid tribute to the two 23-year-old graduate students, who were in love and planning to be married.
"You killed their dreams," he said, and also noted that he caused unending grief for his own family. Bolden's mother was in court for the sentencing but rushed out afterward, making no comment.
He noted that in a confession to a jailhouse informant, Bolden was cavalier in his attitude and said of the killings, "It was boom boom, and that was it."
Marcus held up a newspaper picture of Bolden smiling at his conviction. "I even caught you smiling during the (father's) statement today. Mr. Bolden, you just don't get it. How can you be gleeful about the grief you caused?"

Feminists do NOT HATE MEN.
Do you want women to be equal
to men? Yes? Congratulations,
you're a feminist!
So let me get this straight. Pot in candy form may be "too enticing" for children, but alcohol flavored like root beer or cotton candy isn't a problem?

Female chauvinism is not feminism. It's plain old sexism. Feminism is supporting equal rights for women.
I have no pity for girls who complain about being cold when they dress to look pretty instead of dressing warmly.
Saying you support equality but not feminism is like saying you love all fruits, but oranges can go to hell.
If I'm sniffling and not blowing my nose, it's probably because I don't have direct access to something to blow it in. Why is this a thing that bothers people so much?

Concealed carry on campus is amiss
saw a borderline panic.
A few weeks ago I was taking a nap when I was awakened by a call from my mom. She had just gotten a text message from the University about masked men who had been arrested on campus. I checked Twitter to see what was going on and I
saw a borderline panic. Reading eyewitness accounts on social media, there was a shocking number of students who said they believed they were in the middle of a school shooting. Their fear was justifiable and, though the intruders didn't have guns, the threat was real.
That's why I was surprised when just a short time later, I read that the University had completed its security checks to allow for concealed carry on campus. This couldn't have come at a more inappropriate time. Students
were still talking about the masked men, how threatened they felt and the discrepancies in the University's alert system.
The alert system received widespread criticism following the Guy Fawkes incident. The University didn't alert students that there were masked men on campus until after they had been apprehended.
I are forced to agree with my peers — an alert should have been sent out informing students of what was going on, especially when no one knew if the intruders were armed.
The lack of an informational alert caused more panic than was necessary. The University's delayed texts should make it clear: this campus is not ready for concealed carry.
I've never been a fan of guns, especially concealed guns. I don't think they're cool, fun or a basic human right. I see no point in carrying a gun with you to the grocery store or the gym. I can never think of a reason to bring a concealed gun to class.
Maybe, instead of encouraging concealed carry on
campus, we should start focusing on how to prevent violence from happening in the first place.
Concealed carry on campus is a frightening concept. Guns wielded by students, faculty and visitors have no place on a college campus. The state legislature and University administrators need to focus on preventing threats on our campus rather than multiplying them.

Business should not be heteronormative field
By Madeline Umali
@madelineumali
ine media was abuze earlier this month when Apple CEO Tim Cook came out as openly gay to "BusinessWeek." Not only is he the first openly gay CEO of a Fortune 500 company, he is also a prime example of how the heteronormative world of business is changing.
As the head of one of the world's most recognizable companies, Cook's decision to announce his sexual orientation was both courageous and risky. People in other countries took a firm stance on their beliefs about homosexuality. A number of connected Russian companies, called ZEFS, removed the memorial
of Steve Jobs' in St. Petersburg after Cook announced he was gay. According to The Huffington Post, Vitaly Milonov, an anti-gay Russian politician, made several offensive remarks about Cook after the announcement.
Despite the negative feedback about Cook's sexual orientation, there has been a lot of positive feedback as well. People are ecstatic that there is an openly gay person in such an esteemed business role. I predict that more people in the business world will soon come out, now that they have a role model to look up to. Cook has proven that a person's sexual orientation shouldn't matter when pursuing a successful business career.
It is more common in today's society for gay communities to appear in literature, entertainment and education. The world of business seems
to be lacking in its support of the LGBTQ community, one reason why Cook's decision to come out was so controversial. According to research from the International Small Business Journal, many people keep their sexual orientation a secret for fear of harassment or discrimination they might face in the business world. Despite the potential for harassment, Cook bravely stepped out of the closet to both praise and criticism.
Cook is a great role model for business people and the LGBTQ community. His decision to come out is a step forward for our society. I hope it becomes the norm for a gay, lesbian or transgender person to be as successful as Tim Cook.

Many college students have part-time jobs while attending school. These jobs may prepare you for the real world as well as help you gain experience for your future career. However, one thing I have learned is that people approach these jobs in different ways. Some people take their part-time job way too seriously, when in reality this job most likely won't make or break you one way or the other. Then there are others who are relaxed at work and see it as a fun experience. Better yet, they think of it as another gold star on their resume, and nothing more.
Students should put education ahead of jobs
By Molly Smith @mollmsmith
I used to be someone who would stress over my part-time job. I would strive for perfection with every little thing I did, whether it was organizing the lipsticks in the cosmetic section at Walgreens or trying to memorize every ingredient in the meals on the restaurant menu as a waitress. It was exhausting and it felt meaningless.
Don't get me wrong — I am a believer in building up a strong work ethic and giving your best in everything that you do. However, when you are in college and have
worked quite a few different jobs (like retail, customer service and childcare), you start to realize how these jobs are not ones you want in the future. Not only can you not survive off of that kind of income anymore, but it is a lot of labor for a small return.
In college I know my No. I priority has to be school, while work comes second. I need to put the things that will better my future first, before I'm worrying about silly things I need to do for work. Things like internships, shadowing, studying and aceing all your exams are what will put you ahead
So keep working those jobs and making minimum wage so you can buy your mac and cheese and weekly bottle of wine to keep you sane, but don't forget that it's just a minimum wage job and you are doing them a favor by showing up every day. Don't let it stress you out. Focusing on the big picture is hard sometimes, but life is short and you can't let the little, insignificant things keep you from achieving your goals and getting where you want to be.

Several youth-targeted anti-smoking campaigns contrast music's drug culture

@Maegan_bull
In today's constantly changing music scene, artists are able to reach their audiences faster than ever before. Thanks to the invention of smart phones and apps such as Pandora, Spotify and more, we have nearly unlimited access to music.
In a 2008 report from JAMA Pediatrics, 279 of the most popular songs of 2005 according to Billboard magazine were analyzed. It was found that of the 279 songs, 93 (33.3 percent) portrayed substance use, with an average of 35.2 substance references per song-hour.
— currently on his Under the Influence tour—raps about smoking weed and being high all the time with songs such as; "So High," "KK" and "Medicated." Even Miley Cyrus, a former Disney sensation, dressed up in a weed costume for her concert tour Bangerz earlier this year. She also sings of getting "high off perp" in her song, "23," which currently has 344,989,281 views and counting on YouTube.
While drug references in music is nothing new, preventative measures targeted specifically at youths are becoming more common. To help combat some of the pressure we are faced with in society, the Food and Drug Administration created a campaign called "The Real Cost," the first ever youth targeted anti-smoking campaign focused on adolescents who use or have used tobacco before.
These ads have appeared many sites such as YouTube and Hulu Plus in the form of a commercial, perhaps even playing prior to a music video for a song that will in fact inadvertently promoting smoking or drug use. While there are many different scenarios played out in these ads, one in particular depicts a young twenty-something
female having to rip off a piece of skin on her cheek in order to come up with "the cost" for a new pack of menthol cigarettes,with the slogan "What are menthols costing you?" spoken at the end.
Truth TV Spot has also released a video called "Unpaid Tobacco Spokesperson" that portrays pictures of some of America's admired public figures such as musicians Chris Brown, Rihanna and Lady Gaga, to name a few, and actors and actresses such as Kate Moss, Orlando Bloom and Kristen Stewart and more, all silently endorsing big name tobacco companies by smoking cigarettes. The video includes a hashtag at the end of the video, saying "#finishit." By saying "Finish It" you're not just only saying no to cigarettes, you' re helping put an end to the perpetuation of smoking.
With the FDA estimating that nearly every day in the U.S. more than 3,200 people
under the age of 18 smoke their first cigarette, with more than 700 of those becoming daily smokers, its hard not to want to see a change occur in these patterns.
Virtually every genre of music is at our fingertips. Music has become a way to express our emotions or change our mood. With more and more artists referencing drugs in their work, it is hard not to feel constantly pressured by the thought of doing and/or using drugs in today's society.
The organization DoSomething.org is challenging teens and college students to stand up and make a difference. All across America, students are taking the initiative and joining a campaign called "I want you to quit because..." where participants are encouraged to write a personal note to someone who smokes as a way to step up and take a stance against smoking.
Current statistics don't show a sharp decline in drug use, especially tobacco use among
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 9 out of 10 smokers started smoking by age 18.
DID YOU KNOW?
The Surgeon General estimates that teenagers who smoke are three times more likely to use alcohol, eight times more likely to smoke marijuana, and 22 times more likely to use cocaine.
According to Americans for Nonsmoker Rights, As of October 1, 2014, there are at least 1,477 100 percent smoke-free campuses. Of these,975 are 100 percent tobacco-free,and 291 prohibit the use of e-cigarettes anywhere on campus.
teens and college students. In fact, University of Michigan scientists conducted a nationwide study called Monitoring the Future, in which they found illicit drug use has been gradually rising among American college students since 2006.
According to a press release from September from the University, 34 percent of students surveyed indicated they used some illicit drug in the prior year; that rate was up to 39 percent by
.
2013. Will recent campaigns such as "The Real Cost" and "Unpaid Tobacco Spokesperson" among others, help to make a difference in teen smoking rates and drug use rates in general? One thing is for certain, in a culture that so often perceives its youth as bait, these campaigns cleverly target us with the intention to combating this continuation.

Ensemble partners with KU Dance for opera

@lilygrant_UDK
"It's crunch time for the Heilanthus Contemporary Ensemble as they squeeze in the last few rehearsals before performing the premiere of "The Nightingale," composed by Chris D. Burton.
The show will take place on Saturday, Nov. 22, at 2 and 5 p.m. at Robinson Center. The show will also feature "Mahakala," an electronic music piece composed by Kip Haheim, associate professor in the KU School of Music. Admission is free to the public.
The Helianthus Contemporary Ensemble is a group of singers at the University who perform new, modern music on a semesterly basis. This is the first time the ensemble
The opera group, made up of graduate students, has been putting the final touches on its piece this week. Clark Weyrauch, who is working on his master's degree at the University, will make his directing debut with the performance of "The Nightingale."
has collaborated with the KU Dance Department.
Weyrauch said he is excited to partner with the KU Dance Department. He said the department has more dancers, and they have had to rehearse at different times because there is a limited time period to ensure the show comes together before opening night.
"To put all of these parts together is a little nerve-wracking," Weyrauck said. "That's been really neat, but also really challenging, too."
Weyrauch said the opera tells the timeless story of a pompous emperor who demands the ownership of the nightingale, a rare and beautiful bird, so he sends his chancellor into the woods to retrieve it. He is disappointed upon her return to find that the nightingale is unwilling to stay stationed in the palace, Weyrauch said.
Burton wrote "The Nightingale," a story based on a fairy tale written by Hans Christian Andersen, with his wife Shelley Burton in mind as the nightingale.

"I don't like to be tethered down, necessarily," Shelley said. "I like to be able to be free to move. I just like to ex-
Shelley Burton said she relates to her character because she also is a free spirit.
Other characters in the show, including the emperor, aren't as fluid as the nightingale.
"The audience can expect to see and hear a finished product," Ashby said. "There's just so many elements coming together in the performance."
Ashby, a master's student in opera performance from Louisville, Ken., said he has two goals in mind for Saturday night: to be able to relate to the story and to have fun while performing.
The emperor, played by Caleb Ashby, opts for an obedient, mechanical bird, only to later find himself bedridden with soul sickness in disgust of his own behavior, Weyrauch said.
The singing nightingale returns when the emperor realizes what he's done, but only under the condition that he let her fly freely as she wishes.
Shellay said she is enthusiastic about the upcoming performance.
"I'm just so looking forward to the whole collaboration and seeing it all work together," Shelley said. "It's going to be really good, and it's really cool to see modern music that is accessible and in English, for opera, and it's done by young people. A lot of people think opera is just this dying, archaic art form, but it's really relevant and fun for people today."

Departing Smithsonian head says museums more vital
BRETT ZONGKER Associated Press
WASHINGTON - As Wayne Clough prepares to leave the Smithsonian Institution after six years at the helm, the retiring engineer wanted to know a few more things about the 138 million objects at the world's largest museum complex.
I am a man of many experiences. I have lived in all the world, from Asia to Africa, from Europe to the Americas, and from Latin America to the Pacific. I have been a teacher, a mentor, a friend, and a colleague. I have worked with students, teachers, and community leaders. I have contributed to public discourse on various issues, including education, health, climate change, and social justice. I have also served as an educator in the private sector, in institutions such as Yale University and Columbia University. I have received numerous awards and recognitions for my work, including the National Medal of Science, the Presidential Medal of Science, and the Nobel Prize in Physics.
CAROLYN KASTER/ASSOCIATED PRESS
he wondered: Could any pieces of the vast collection have come from his roots in rural South Georgia? So he began searching. It turns out quite a few relics and specimens come from his hometown, from a massive rattlesnake preserved in a jar to paintings, Native American pottery and other gems. He plans to publish a light-hearted book on his findings next year.
Beyond closing the loop on his career, Clough said his research shows the potential of opening up the Smithsonian's collection to a wider public by continuing to digitize thousands of objects.
Clough has been the Smithsonian's chief for the digital age. The former president of Georgia Tech came to the museum complex in Washington with a focus on modernizing its digital outreach and fundraising.
"It really shows and will show more clearly in time the power of digitization and the power of personalization," Clough said.
With the major digitization effort and the Smithsonian's most ambitious fundraising campaign underway — with $1 billion raised in the past four years toward a $1.5 billion goal — Clough is stepping down at year's end. He will retire to Atlanta and a new home in the country.
In an interview Monday, Clough said the Smithsonian has become a more vital place that's focused on the public, delivering K-12 education programs in all 50 states, offering 2,000 lesson plans online for teachers and forging new partnerships with universities.
"Intellectually we've lifted our game," Clough told The Associated Press.
Smithsonian Institution Secretary Wayne Clough speaks during an interview at the Smithsonian Institution Building, or The Castle, in Washington Monday. Clough prepares to step down after six years working to modernize the digital outreach and fundraising capacity of the world's largest museum complex.
Under his watch, the Smithsonian created a Transcription Center where 4,000 digital volunteers are working to attach information to images of museum objects to make them searchable and
accessible online. Over time, a Google search of "Teddy Roosevelt" could produce a trove of museum holdings on the former president and naturalist.
None of that work in digital and educational outreach would be possible, though, without a major infusion of private money, Clough said.
The Smithsonian's taxpayer-funding model has been changing. The institution used to rely on Congress for 70 percent of its money, but that has fallen to 60 percent and could drop further.
Clough said he inherited an institution that had never run a national fundraising campaign and was still processing gifts by hand. He is proud that has changed with a donor base that has doubled in size.
Still, finances will be one of his successor's biggest challenges, Clough said, because the Smithsonian continues to grow and add new museums amid flat or declining government support. Federal funding will continue to be critical to maintain buildings, collections and free admission, he said.

seven to 14 days,depending on the size of the vessel. It is often flavored with fruit juice or herbs.The end product is a slightly fizzy sweet and sour beverage with less than .5 percent alcohol.
Pees said part of kombucha's popularity is that it's a probiotic, which is important for digestive health. Also touted is the importance of the bacteria in our gut, or microbiome, in fighting off viruses. In a study published Friday in the journal "Science," injections of microbiomes were found to prevent and cure rotavirus in mice.
Pees started selling various flavors of KANbucha at the Lawrence Farmers' Market in 2010. Bottled KANbucha is already available at several locations in Lawrence, such as La Prima Tazza, Alchemy Coffee and Iwg Family Dairy. It's also available in a few locations in Kansas City and one in Manhattan.

The Merc Cafe will start by offering two flavors of KANbucha on tap, said Sean Hill, food services administration assistant at the Merc Co-op. Hill said bottled KANbucha has been a popular product.

"From what I see on the shelves, we can hardly keep them [bottles of KANbucha] in stock, so I think that's a pretty good sign," Hill said. Pees said the first two flavors to be offered will be KanbuChai, his personal favorite, and Gingerose, which is the most popular. Gingerose combines raw kombucha with ginger juice and rose water. KanbuChai is flavored with apple juice and a masala spice blend.

The renovation of the

THE DAILY DEBATE
Who would win a matchup between Kentucky and the 76ers?
"KENTUCKY"
By Christian Hardy
@HardyNFL
For a long time the hypothetical discussion of a collegiate team defeating a professional team has been deliberated by sports fans. A few years ago, it was the Alabama Crimson Tide against the Jacksonville Jaguars in football. In 2012, some thought Kentucky could take down the Toronto Raptors.
It's always been an outlandish thought that could be shot down in seconds. Now, it's a more practical proposition than ever. No. 1 Kentucky against the tanking Philadelphia 76ers. Finally, there is a real argument to be made for a college team here.
We'll start with the worst team in the NBA; the 76ers. Never before has there been a more definitive and widely accepted worst team in a league until this team came along. Before the season started, sports experts everywhere knew one thing about this season — the 76ers are very, very bad.
The team's rotation features
six players who almost certainly wouldn't be in the NBA if the 76ers weren't tanking for a top pick in 2015: Hollis Thompson, Henry Sims, Robert Covington, Brandon Davies, Malcolm Thomas and JaKarr Sampson. You could pluck almost any six players off Calipari's current Kentucky roster that would outplay those six players.
While you can make the case that the 76ers have experience that the Wildcats don't, it does not hold much substance. The 76ers are the youngest (23.3 years old) and least experienced (1.9 years of experience) team in the NBA.
Calipari's Kentucky team might be the most loaded team he ever had. Kentucky houses nine McDonald's All-Americans. To put that in perspective, Kansas currently has four on the roster. Kentucky hosts the No. 3, 10, 19, 30, 32, 33, 37, 39 and 43 players in DraftExpress rankings.
are bound to be NBA first- round picks. The 76ers have three first-round picks on their entire roster — the least of any in the NBA. In fact, only seven of their 15 players were drafted at all.
the 76ers are 0-9 and lose their games by an average of 16 points. They will be considered lucky if they can pull 10 wins out of the 82-game NBA season.
This is a clash of a woeful NBA team, which could go down in the record books as one of the worst teams of all time against a Kentucky team that is filled to the brim with talent, and is heavily favored to win the National Championship.
Those are nine prospects who
Edited by Ben Carroll
Of course, this Kentucky team wouldn't defeat the 76ers 10 times out of 10, but, for once, a collegiate team would have a real shot to upend a professional team. There's real reason to believe Kentucky could down this 76ers team.

"76ERS"
By Amie Just
@Amie Just
Kentucky's basketball roster is stacked from top to bottom. The No.1 team in college basketball has McDonald's All-Americans bursting at the seams.
+
The team has been lauded as the best John Calipari has ever coached, predicted to finish 40-0, and the season is only a week old.
This season's Philadelphia 76ers have started out 0-10 and have been predicted to finish among the worst teams in NBA history.
Who would win between one of college basketball's premier powerhouses and the current laughing stock of the NBA?
The level of competition that the 76ers see is unparalleled at Kentucky. Some of the phenomials has played against just 10 games into the season include Chris Bosh, James Harden, Dirk Nowitzki, Roy Hibbert, O.J. Mayo, Dwyane
Wade, Dwight Howard, Jimmy Butler, Tony Parker and Tim Duncan, among others. Kentucky has played Grand Canyon and Buffalo so far this year, not counting exhibition games. The Wildcats had no problem with the Antelopes, but Buffalo posed a tougher challenge.
The pesky Buffalo squad led Kentucky 38-33 at half and didn't let off the gas until the last 10 minutes of the game.
If Kentucky has a hard time against Buffalo, a team who is 175th in points per game (69.0), 270th in assists per game (8.0) and 280th in field-goal percentage (.324), how could they reasonably compete with Philadelphia?
Kentucky has been overhyped in the past, most recently, last year. Around this time in 2013, Kentucky was prematurely heralded as a team that could go undefeated. Shirts were printed up saying "40-0" two weeks into the season. Kentucky lost its following game against Michigan State and finished the season 29-11.
The Wildcats advanced to
the National Championship in 2013, losing to the Connecticut Huskies, 60-54, but the season did not go according to hype.
While much of the country is feeding into the hype, Calipari isn't going for it.
"Now we go (play) Kansas and it's the same thing." Calipari said after the Buffalo game on Sunday. "We probably need another hit in the mouth to see where we are."
The 76ers aren't the cream of the crop statistically, in Kentucky's defense, but even so, Kentucky would still get clobbered.
It's no question that professional athletes have the upper hand against college athletes. Philadelphia shooting guard Jason Richardson has been in the league since 2001. The Kentucky freshmen were in kindergarten when he was a rookie.
Professionals are professionals for a reason. Amateurs are amateurs' for a reason.

Senior forward Chelsea Gardner pivots around Washburn junior forward Jayna Smith on Nov. 9, Kansas plays Texas Southern tonight at 7 p.m. in Allen Fieldhouse.
KANSAS
Lauren Aldridge, Freshman,
Guard
Aldridge is coming off a tough shooting performance, but she still managed to come through in the clutch, going 9-of-10 at the free throw line in the second half. Aldridge also led the Jayhawks in assists against the South Dakota Coyotes, and she played 32 minutes, the second most of anyone on the team.
Jada Brown, Sophomore,
Forward
ANNA WENNER/KANSAN
natalie Knight, Senior, Guard Knight was stellar in the season opener, scoring 15 points while adding seven rebounds and five steals. Knight played a team-high 39 minutes, and she was especially vital for the team when Chelsea Gardner left the game due to foul trouble.
Asia Boyd, Senior, Guard Boyd didn't have the statistical performance of some of the other Jayhawks in the opener, but she played a key defensive role. The senior guard will be looking to bounce back against Texas Southern, which seems likely as Boyd scored 25 points and grabbed six rebounds against the Lady Tigers last season.
Asia Boyd, Senior, Guard
Brown got the start in the first game, although she didn't spend a whole lot of time on the court, only playing 12 minutes. However, Brown was able to crash the glass, grabbing a couple of offensive rebounds, while managing to chip in two points.
Chelsea Gardner, Senior Forward
Gardner faced a double and triple team against South Dakota and couldn't be stopped as the senior went for 24 points in 24 minutes. Expect a big game from the newest member of the Jayhawks' 1,000-point club.
Brianna Siuney, junior, guard Sidney chipped in 14 points on 6-of-8 shooting against the Oklahoma State Cowgirls, and she also snagged four rebounds and four steals. Siuney made more 3-pointers than any other player on the team, and she'll need to be at her best if the Lady Tigers are going to defeat the Jayhawks.
TEXAS SOUTHERN
Alexus Johnson, Sophomore,
Forward
opener, Davis scored just two points in 20 minutes, and she failed to be much of a factor.
Sarah Williams, Senior, Guard Williams had a solid season last year, but she had a dismal performance against the Oklahoma State Cowgirls in the season opener, recording two assists and five turnovers in 13 minutes. She'll need to play much better against the Jayhawks.
miracle Davis, Senior, Guard Davis wasn't especially impressive last season, averaging just 1.6 points, 2.0 assists and 1.8 rebounds per game. In the Lady Tigers' season
One season ago, Alexus Johnson averaged 9.4 points and 6 rebounds per game, which was especially impressive considering that she played just 20.1 minutes per
game on average. Johnson was one rebound away from a double-double against the Cowgirls, and she'll look to repeat that performance against the Jayhawks.
Morgan Simmons, Senior Forward
Morgan Simmons had a productive game against Oklahoma State, scoring nine points and grabbing
seven rebounds, which was reminiscent of her season last year, when she averaged 7.8 points and 8.8 rebounds per game. The La Marque, Texas, native will have her hands full against Kansas, as she'll be one of the two front court players tasked with guarding Chelsea Gardner.

@RealBlairSheade
AT A GLANCE
Kansas enters the season as the No. 5 team in the nation and the Jayhawks return only two starters. Kansas didn't perform well against UC Santa Barbara, shooting 41 percent from the field and 20 percent from three. Kansas hasn't played a No. 1 team during nonconference schedule since 2006 when Florida was ranked No.1.

After scoring 26 points in the first two exhibition games, Alexander scored nine points against UCSB. Alexander was the first frontcourt player off the bench and provides strength and physicality to the Kansas lineup.
How will Kansas contain the Harrison twins?
QUESTION MARKS
Both twins are 6-foot-5 and both can handle the point guard position. Graham and sophomore guard Frank Mason will have a difficult time guarding the Harrison twins because of the height disadvantage.

Devonte' Graham, freshman, guard
After a disappointing performance by sophomore guard Frank Mason, Graham will make his second start of the season, but this time, it's not against Washburn. Graham sparked a 9-0 run against UCSB and scored a game-high 14 points.
李国平
★★★☆☆
Brannen Greene, sophomore, guard
Braunen Greene, sophioteur, guard Greene started his first game as a Jayhawk against UCSB and only played for 17 minutes. Many Kansas players said Greene is the best shooter on a team, but Greene isn't a good defender, which forces Self to substitute Greene for freshman Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk.
★★★☆☆
PETER SHELDON
Wayne Selden Jr., sophomore, guard
No.1 KENTUCKY
Wayne Seidel Jr., sophomore, guard
The Jayhawks found their vocal leader in Selden this season. Selden didn't have a memorable season-opener against UCSB, scoring 10 points on 2-of-8 shooting. Selden's aggressiveness makes him a dangerous player, but when he settles for 3-pointers, Selden can disappear from the offense.
(2-0)
★★★★
M. BERRAZAL
Perry Ellis, junior, forward
Coach Bill Self thinks Ellis will be the leading scorer for Kansas this season. Ellis didn't prove that against UCSB, getting blocked by the UCSB frontcourt. Ellis will have a tough task against the Kentucky 7-footers because length disturbs Ellis' game.
★★★★★
NBA MVP
Traylor had a tough task guarding UCSB forward Alan Williams, yet the junior grabbed a season-high 10 rebounds. Traylor will have another tough matchup against the taller and more athletic front court than UCSB and he'll rely on his much improve jump shot.
Jamari Traylor, junior, forward
STARTERS
WEST TUCKY
Andrew Harrison, sophomore, guard
Andrew Harrison, sophomore, guard The Harrison twins are similarly built, but play different positions. Andrew Harrison is the Kentucky point guard and he has a better passing ability than his brother Andrew. Andrew had only one assist against Buffalo.

KENTUCKY
Aaron Harrison, sophomore, guard
Aaron Harrison, sophomore, guard
The better shooter between the two Harrison twins is Aaron, who hit both game-winning shots against Michigan and Wisconsin in the Elite Eight and Final Four. Aaron was the leading scorer among the starters against Buffalo with eight points.

Alex Poythress, junior, forward
Poythress is the only non-freshman new starter. Poythress was the sixth man last season, playing 18 minutes per game. During the first two games, Poythress averaged seven points and five rebounds per game.
★★★☆☆
KENTUCKY

Kari-Anthony Towns, freshman, forward
This is a different look Kentucky team because the Wildcats only have one freshman in the starting lineup. Towns was the No. 5 player in the 2014 recruiting class, and the No. 2 center. Towns played the least amount of minutes among starters and scored three points against Buffalo.
★★★★☆
NORTUCKY 15
Willie Cauley-Stein, junior, forward
White Cauley-Stein, junior, forward The Olathe native is the leader of this Kentucky team and the leading rebounder. Cauley-Stein grabbed 10 rebounds in the win against Buffalo, but he only averaged six rebounds last season. Cauley-Stein is known for having athletic ability for a 7-foot

the runners-up in the 2014 NCAA National Championship are returning three starters, and the Associated Press ranks the Wildcats number one in the country. Kentucky was trailing to Buffalo University 38-33 at half before the Wildcat held Buffalo to outscoring 39-17 in the second half.

KENTUCKY

Dakari Johnson, Guard
Johnson is one of five Wildcat players to average more than 20 minutes per game, but the top-5 recruit in 2014 didn't start last season, and he won't start Tuesday. The 7-footer is a strong rebounder averaging 13 per game and is Kentucky's second-leading scorer.
QUESTION MARKS
Who will guard Wayne Selden?
Selden plays a guard-forward hybrid position, and there aren't many players on Kentucky with the same athletic skill as Selden. Poythress is big enough to guard Selden, but he's not quick enough. A matchup between Selden and a Harrison twin will likely be a frequent scene tonight.

Junior tailback Aaron Green from Texas Christian University outruns Kansas cornerback Dexter McDonald and the rest of the Kansas defense. TCU survived an upset scare from Kansas 34-30 on Saturday in Lawrence.
Power Rankings: TCU holds No.1 spot after narrow victory
SHANE JACKSON
@jacksonshane3
With 2:38 to go in the third quarter, the Horned Frogs took their first lead of the game over the Jayhawks and never looked back. Although it was a lot closer than most expected, TCU survived to stay atop the Big 12 by virtue of the two other teams on a bye.
Both one-loss Baylor and two-loss Kansas State remain in the heat for a chance at the conference title. But what Saturday proved is it may be difficult for a one-loss Big 12 team to crack the four-team playoff. TCU was sitting in fourth but will likely be knocked back a couple spots after Saturday's shaky performance.
Just three games took place Saturday as four teams were on bye. Eight Big 12 teams will play this week; the conference shakeup is becoming clearer as the season begins to wind down.
POWER RANKINGS
1. TCU 9-1 (G-1 Big 12)
Last time out: Won at Kansas
34-30
The Horned Frogs saw their playoff chances diminish as they went to the wire against the Jayhawks. The lone special teams touchdown in the conference this week, a 69-yard punt return, was enough to lift TCU.
TCU stays atop the Big 12 with just one loss. The team will need to win its final pair of games convincingly to get back in the playoff hunt. Quarterback Trevone Boykin has the school's single season record for passing yards (3,021) and total offense (3,586).
Trending: Same
Next up: Bye week
2. Baylor 8-1 (5-1)
Last time out: Bye
You could practically hear the cheers from Waco, Texas, as the Bears were hoping the Jayhawks could pull off the major upset Saturday. A loss by the Horned Frogs would have placed the Bears alone atop the Big 12.
Instead the Bears will have three games with Oklahoma State, at Texas Tech and Kansas State to end their season. For now, the Bears sit
in second because they did not play anyone last week.
Trending: Same
Next up: vs. Oklahoma State.
Even in-state rival Kansas State was hoping Kansas could pull off the upset, as it would have helped the Wildcats' title hopes. For now Kansas State has a shot to claim at least a share of the Big 12 title, but have just three games remaining. Kansas State travels to West Virginia in addition to home games with Kansas and Baylor.

The loss ended the Cowboys' 26-game winning streak against unranked opponents in Boone Pickens Stadium, a streak that dated back to 2009. Oklahoma State has recorded at least two sacks in 10 of its last 11 games, and will try to get after Baylor this weekend.
Trending: Down Next up: at Baylor

Freshman quarterback Patrick Mahomes had a career day in a loss to the Sooners. Mahomes completed 27 of his 50 pass attempts for 393 yards and four touchdowns. Tech was able to snap a 17-game streak of losing the turnover battle after forcing three Oklahoma turnovers while not committing one.

Last time out: Lost to TCU 34-30 Kansas nearly did the impossible, knocking off a then-No. 4 TCU team. Junior quarterback Michael Cummings threw a career-high 332 yards, the most by a Kansas quarterback since Todd Reesing's 338 against Duke in 2009. Kansas' opening drive consisted of 17 plays, the longest score drive in the conference this season.

After a loss to Kansas, Iowa State may have permanently placed themselves at the bottom of the conference.

Fresh off one of his best statistical outings of his Kansas career, the most receiving yards by a Jayhawk tight end since 1974, senior Jimmay Mundine has been named one of eight semi-finalists for the John Mackey Award.

LAWRENCE, KS 66046
"He's a big guy that can go on on the perimeter, runs good routes and has good hands," Bowen said. "Couldn't be more proud of the effort and what he's brought to our team."
Mundine's name is in the hat for several reasons.
PART TIME WEEKEND WARRIORS
6:30AM-5:00PM SATURDAY & SUNDAY ($12/HR)
Part of the National College Football Awards Association, the John Mackey Award is given annually to the most outstanding collegiate tight end. Mundine becomes the first Jayhawk in school history to be named a semi-finalist for the prestigious honor.
Those skills haven't been more evident than in the past five games, especially during his heyday against No. 4 TCU, during which he made a career-best seven receptions for 137 yards and a touchdown. Mundine has only increased his production since changes were made to the head coach and quarterback positions.
Kansas interim coach Clint Bowen congratulates senior tight end Jimmy Mundine on the sideline following a touchdown against Texas Christian University on Saturday.
"They're starting to develop some chemistry," Bowen said
Over the past five games, under Bowen's tutelage and quarterback Michael Cummings' direction, Mundine has seen an increase in receptions, tallying 29 for 412 yards and three touchdowns, as opposed to 11 receptions for 124 yards and no touchdowns through the first five.
The blocking is better, the drops are down and Mundine is finally flashing his best attribute.
"I always pride myself in not letting the first guy tackle me," Mundine said.

That skill was no better
Over the summer before his senior year, Mundine recommitted himself to those facets, spending extra time in blocking drills and catching upwards of 1,000 passes a day from a JUGS machine.
"My size, my athleticism and ability to really understand the game as far as who's got me, what zones they have," Mundine said. "You can manipulate [the defender]."
Blocking and dropped passes plagued the tight end earlier in his career.
At 6 feet 2 inches and 240 pounds, raw talent has never been a question for the Denison, Texas, native.

"I wasn't surprised he broke so many tackles," Cummings said of Mundine's rousing run. "I was surprised he didn't get in the end zone."
The senior will be competing with Iowa State's E.J. Bibbs, Ole Miss' Evan Engram, Notre Dame's Ben Koyack, Florida State's Nick O'Leary, Massachusetts' Jean Sifrin, Miami's Clive Walford and Minnesota's Maxx Williams for the award.
of the Cummings-Mundine connection. "I believe it's a result of the way we practice, the way we prepared, and it's starting to show up."
His chances are as good as any. The senior leads all Big 12 tight ends and ranks fourth nationally among the position group with 537 receiving yards on 40 catches. No Kansas receiver has been more clutch this season. Thirty of his 40 catches have resulted in first downs.
Finalists for the award will be notified Nov. 24, followed by an announcement of the recipient at the end of the season on Dec. 10. The recipient will also be presented with the award live on ESPNU on Dec. 11.

Kansan: Kentucky has nine McDonald's All-Americans on the roster this year. That is insane. With all the talent on the team, there's been talk that John Calipari will implement a platoon system, where two groups of five players take turns rotating into the game. What are your thoughts on that, and do you see this being permanent throughout the season?

Gray: I do not see it being permanent, and I do not think Calipari does either. It will work for everyone in the first month of the season. Players get playing time while Calipari can evaluate 10 players in legitimate game action. Before we hit conference play, do not be surprised if he whittles the rotation down or at least gives some players 30 minutes a game while shortchanging those who aren't playing particularly hard. The experiment has gone pretty well so far, with teams getting worn out quicker than UK, but guys on the second platoon will deserve more than 15-20 minutes a game by the time we get to January.
Kansan: Which returner do you anticipate making the biggest impact this season? Which freshman?
Bray: Returning players are aplenty on UK's roster, but the biggest impact will come from junior forward Willie Cauley-Stein. He can do so many things on defense, and the feeling is that the up-tempo of defense will help Cauley-Stein's offensive numbers because of the increased likelihood of lob passes and transition plays, which fits his style. But he is not the most important returner — point guard Andrew Harrison is more important.
UK's weakness is perimeter shooting. Devin Booker and Aaron Harrison are above average 3-point shooters, but no one has proven to be consistent from outside. If UK goes cold from outside, opponents might have a chance.
Kansan: Taking into the consideration the giant disclaimer that Kentucky hasn't played real competition yet, what have you learned about the team in its limited action this season? What is the team's biggest strength (other than depth), and what is the team's biggest weakness?
Gray: This team has size everywhere. Their guards are 6-foot-6. The forwards and centers are legitimately 6-foot-10 or taller. NBA teams do not have the same kind (and amount) of size that UK has this season. Good luck out-rebounding them.
At the beginning of the season, forward Karl-Anthony Towns looked like the best freshman. He still may be, but he is falling into foul trouble too much and gets lost in the game when he does not get feeds into the post. So the best freshman, and the one will make the most impact early on, is forward Trey Lyles. Kansas will see him in the second platoon, and he will be the best scorer in the lineup. He's a 6-foot-10-inch big man who has already shown he can hit jump shots off of screen and curl actions. You do not see that often.
Kansan: Last season, Kentucky was ranked 69th in the country in points per game and 81st in points allowed. I'm guessing both the offense and the defense will dramatically improve this season. Do you see one side being more dominant this year? What is the team's identity?
We do not know much about either team, but what we do know is this — UK is big, and the easiest way to score points is to get around the basket. The Cats will be better at getting near the basket and defending around the basket.
Bray. UK does not have to execute exponentially well. A bad possession and shot can be saved by any of the three big men that will be on the floor. The team's identity is strength. UK's first two opponents attempted to play physically, but it is not possible to out-muscle this team. Opponents will have to be quicker than UK and will have to make a lot of shots.
Neither offense nor defense will be particularly more dominant than the other. UK will rebound the basketball on each end better than most of its opponents, and that will be what is dominant.
The Jayhawks will stick around in the first half, but UK — if motivated — will stretch the game out, and the Cats will
Gray: Kansas will be a good basketball team when the calendar changes. Unfortunately, the Jayhawks will have to play this game in mid-November.
Kansan: Two extremely young teams with a lot of depth. What's your prediction?

5 QUESTIONS FROM THE ENEMY
aray: The Jayhawks lost two of the three top picks in June's NBA Draft. They played the last month or so last season without Joel Embiid, but now they will not have Andrew Wiggins and others. With regards to UK's struggles two years ago without Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, how is Kansas going to move on without them?
Kansan: Those two moving on obviously leaves some major holes on the team, but Kansas' freshmen and inhouse players should be able to make up for their departures. Replacing Wiggins at the 3-spot will primarily be sophomore Greene and freshmen Kelly Oubre and Sviatoslav Mykhaliuk. While Kansas can't replace Wiggins athleticic (not many can), all three of these players are much better shooters than Wiggins, especially from 3-point range.
Replacing Embiid will be the bigger task for the Jayhawks, as his size and paint presence helped Kansas on both ends of the floor, especially on the defensive side. This year, Kansas doesn't have a player taller than 6-foot-10, so the team won't have a 7-foot shot blocker roaming the basket like in years past. However, freshman Cliff Alexander, a top-5 recruit, will bring much-needed physicality and toughness down low, something Kansas didn't really have last season, even with Embiid.
Kansas: Like Kentucky, Kansas is extremely deep and balanced. The layhawks' leading
Gray: Kelly Oubre is a name most UK fans know if they follow recruiting. He didn't get much time in the season opener. Will he see much time this season? What's his development?
Kansan: Coming into the season, many thought the No. 6-ranked recruit was a lock for the starting five, but his spotty minutes in the early games suggests he is still figuring things out. When asked why Oubre only played four minutes in the season opener against UC Santa Barbara, Kansas coach Bill Self said he was trying to do what was best for the team, and that's just young. My guess is Oubre will assume a starting spot by conference play because of his athleticism and shooting ability. The only thing that may hold him back is his defense, which Self stresses more than anything.
Gray: Who should UK key on offensively Tuesday?
scorer could be eight different players on a given night. But I'll say the most important one to stop will be junior forward Perry Ellis. Almost a perfect contrast to Alexander, Ellis is a more savvy post player that will use his quickness to finish around the basket. He is also one of the team's best mid-range shooters. At the Champion's Classic last year against Duke, he went off for 24 points, 9 rebounds and 3 steals.
Gray: Everything coming out of Lawrence in the preseason is centered around Cliff Alexander, the highly regarded freshman forward. What should the public that have not seen him play before Tuesday expect?
Kansan: I touched on this a bit earlier, but Alexander's physicality will be important for a shorter-than-usual Kansas team. Despite being "only" 6-foot-8, Alexander and his 7-foot-2 wingspan will help him guard bigger players in the paint and block shots. Just looking at him, Alexander is a physical freak that certainly doesn't look like a freshman. The biggest question with him is foul trouble, something Self has worried about due to his aggressiveness. While most of his points will come close to the basket, he is also capable of hitting a 10-foot jumper if the
defense backs off. Gray: I think people are discounting the strengths of other teams on UK's schedule, including Kansas. Scanning the Cats' schedule, what do you see as the ultimate trip-up for UK this season? And what is your prediction on Tuesday night?
defense backs off.
Kansan: Looking at the schedule, Louisville would appear to be the team's biggest chance at losing a game this season. Rick Pitino is one of the best coaches in the country, and you know his players will go all-out for this rivalry game, especially if Kentucky is undefeated at the time. The fact that it's a home game for the Cardinals gives them an edge, too. One game people may be overlooking is Texas, who has the size to match Kentucky down low and one of the best point guards in the country in Isaiah Taylor. Arkansas is a well-coached, experienced conference team that could cause Kentucky some problems as well.
For tonight, I either see Kansas winning a close game or Kentucky pulling away in the second half for a double-digit win. I suppose I'll go with the first option: Kansas, 84-79. Long-range shooting will be the difference.

WHY KANSAS WINS
BRIAN HILLIX
@DoubleHillix
Looking at Kentucky's roster and its nine McDonald's All-Americans, you'll see why the Wildcats are the preseason No. 1 and whispers of Kentucky going undefeated are surfacing. But even with a team full of future NBA players, that doesn't guarantee a win, especially against No. 5 Kansas on a neutral court at the beginning of the season.
It's something every college basketball coach will preach, and it's that talent isn't as important as factors like team chemistry and work ethic. Playing Kentucky at the beginning of the season, when the talent and chemistry haven't fully fused yet, is when teams like the Wildcats are likely to experience some speed bumps. They experienced a minor one already, trailing after the first half against Buffalo at home on Sunday. Kansas will be able to capitalize on any Kentucky lapses.
At the beginning of the season last year, Kentucky was similarly hyped to this year's team, with some saying the Wildcats
could go undefeated. The talent didn't quite mesh as Kentucky would lose six of seven games against ranked teams in the regular season. The team did advance to the NCAA Tournament national championship game, but it went through a lot of strugles to get there.
On the offensive side for Kansas, returners Perry Ellis and Wayne Selden — McDonald's All-Americans themselves — have the ability to break through offensively. Ellis should be able to attack the Kentucky post with his mid-range jumper and Selden is an athletic guard who can score by driving or shooting from long-range. Each broke through in the Champions Classic last season, combining for 39 points on 14-for-23 shooting to go along with 15 rebounds against No. 4 Duke.
Defensively, the Jayhawks don't have a 7-footer this year to alter shots in the paint. However, their frontcourt is one of the most athletic groups Bill Self has coached while at Kansas. Containing Kentucky's big men is a tall task for any team, but the duo of
freshman Cliff Alexander and junior Jamari Traylor, in particular, should be able to disrupt them with their intangibles. Though each is only 6-foot-8, their athleticism and energy should be able to make up for the height difference.
Like Kentucky, Kansas can also bring up to five players off the bench, although Self doesn't do so in the form of a platoon. Whether Kansas needs energy, length, experience or long-range shooting, Self can turn to someone on the bench to give the team the spark it needs.
Self will also look to even his head-to-head record against nemesis John Calipari, and should draft a game plan that minimizes Kansas' weaknesses. Calipari is the better recruiter, but I give Self the slight edge as the better game manager.
Kentucky is the more talented team, but especially this early in the season, that doesn't always translate to wins. Behind big games from Ellis and Selden, the Jayhawks squeak by the Wildcats and win, 84-79.

WHY KENTUCKY WINS
NICK GRAY
@KYKernelGray
Depth.
Not many teams have it the way UK does. The Cats can play — and will play — 10 guys in a rotation. The platoon system is real and it can be dangerous to opponents. UK coach John Calipari can bring five blue-chip recruits off the bench to replace the five blue-chip players on the floor, it's an astounding luxury to have, and Calipari is trying something a little different to use it.
Want a big point guard who can get to the basket? The Cats have him in Andrew Harrison. Want a small point guard who can distribute the basketball? UK has it in Tyler Ulis. Need shooters with NBA size? Calipari has Aaron Harrison and Devin Booker. Need guys who are 6-foot-10 or taller? UK has five such guys and multiples on each platoon lineup.
its faults. Sometimes, shots don't fall. And its easy to ease into an early-aftermonte into against a less-talented teams when people around you tell you how good you are.
Maybe luxury is not the correct word for what Calipari gets to coach this season. An extravagance of wealth is more appropriate. This team is not without
UK is young too. The Harrison twins, center Dakari Johnson and forward Marcus Lee are all sophomores. They only have two upperclassmen, and those two — forwards Alex Poythress and Willie Cauley-Stein — are junior.
So they can be rattled, theoretically.
Kansas is an ideal team when considering who can rattle the Cats. The Jayhawks are very athletic and have a quick backcourt. The Harrison twins struggled against a quick backcourt in their freshman years, never beating Mike Anderson and Arkansas' full-court pressure or Billy Donovan and Florida's hectic style. Re-watch the National Championship game last season and look at UConn guards Shabazz Napier and Ryan Boatright wear down UK's backcourt. Andrew and Aaron Harrison had trouble keeping up with small, quicker guys as
freshmen.
But they've slimmed their bodies, adding quickness and retaining their physical nature.
The Jayhawks are not an ideal team to play UK due to the bizarre lack of size on Bill Self's roster. My first thought when watching Kansas' opener against South Dakota State was to look around Allen Fieldhouse for the likes of Jeff Withey and Cole Aldrich.
Even if Kansas had both Withey and Aldrich, it may not be enough to match the waves of UK big men that will orate in and out in four-minute stretches. Kansas should wear down and UK will outmuscle the Jayhawks with two teams worth of talent.
But the good thing is, Kansas always surprises with its resilience. Somehow, I don't think it will be as simple as just outmuscling the jayhawks. But I'll take the team that has everything over the team that has a lot of things.

Taking a look back at Champions Classic Round 1
BEN FELDERSTEIN
@Ben_Felderstein
For the past three years, four of the top college basketball programs in the country have met in the Champions Classic. This tournament was started in 2011 and the four participants were meant to exemplify what it means to be a champion.
Kansas, Kentucky, Duke and Michigan State signed on for a three-year rotation in 2011, and signed another three-year extension for the tournament through 2016. The inaugural Champions Classic took place in Madison Square Garden where Kansas played Kentucky and Duke played Michigan State. This year, the same teams will face off again in Indianapolis.
KANSAS VS. KENTUCKY NOV.15,2011 Facing one of the best college basketball teams in recent memory — including the number one and two overall picks in the NBA draft in Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist — Kansas struggled to compete early. Juniors Thomas Robinson and Jeff Withey led Kansas' surge down low. This game wound up being a preview of the upcoming national championship game in the NCAA Tournament. In both games, Kentucky got off to hot starts, and Kansas played catch-up often. In both cases, Kansas started their surge a tad late and ran out of time. Kansas fell 75-65 in the inaugural version of the Champions Classic.
KANSAS VS. MICHIGAN STATE
NOV. 13, 2012
Kansas played sloppy in the second installment of the Champions Classic. With the departure of lottery pick Thomas Robinson, freshman Perry Ellis had large shoes to
fill in one of his first games in a Jayhawk uniform. Ellis seemed to be overwhelmed at times throughout and did not have an effective game. Senior guard Elijah Johnson led Kansas with 16 points, but did not shoot the ball well, as he needed 15 shots to score his 16. Freshman Ben McLemore had an impressive game, scoring 14 points on 5-for-7 shooting from the field. As Kansas trailed by three at the end of regulation, Bill Self ran his famous "chop" play to senior Travis Releford. He got a good look, but missed the shot as Michigan State went on to win, 67-64.

The Jayhawks finally got their first Champions Classic victory in one of the most highly anticipated regular season college basketball games in recent memory. Andrew Wiggins and Jabari Parker were the top two ranked recruits of their class and were facing off for the first time in Chicago. Wiggins finished the contest with 22 points and 8 rebounds, while Parker put up 27 points and nine rebounds. This game truly lived up to the hype, as Kansas held off Duke for the 94-83 victory — which is the highest scoring game in the tournament's history. This game had a March-like atmosphere in early November, as both teams were playing like well-led machines who had been playing together for months. Sophomore Perry Ellis had a strong offensive game with 24 points on 9-for-13 shooting.

SELF VS. CALIPARI
Talented coaches bring history into tonight's matchup
BEN FELDERSTEIN
@Ben Felderstein
This story begins in 2008, in San Antonio, Texas. With 2:12 left to play in the national championship game, the Memphis Tigers led the Kansas lajhwacks by nine.
Kansas continued to chip away at Memphis' lead, and with 2.1 seconds left on the clock, Mario Chalmers made a 3-pointer that went on to become "Marjo's Miracle" to send the game into overtime.
The Jayhawks cruised to a 75-68 victory over the Tigers in overtime to secure the team's fifth national title. This game sparked what has gone on to become one of the best coaching rivalries in college sports.
Kansas coach Bill Self and Kentucky coach John Calipari are heavily regarded as two of the best coaches in college basketball. The 2008 national championship game was the starting point of an intriguing coaching dual.
Self graduated from Oklahoma State in 1985, where he was a four-year letterwinner and was given all Big Eight honors in 1982. Self began his coaching career at Kansas under coach Larry Brown.
In 1993, Self was hired as the head coach at Oral Roberts University, and in four years led ORU to its first ever NIT appearance. From 1998-2000 Self compiled a 74-27 record
at Tulsa University. Self led the Hurricanes to their first-ever Elite Eight in 2000.
Following Self's Elite Eight appearance, he was hired by Illinois, and spent the next three years there. Self reached his second straight Elite Eight in 2001 and won a share of the Big Ten title and ended the season as the No. 4-ranked team in the nation. In 2002, Self and Illinois fell to Kansas in the Sweet 16.
Following the departure of Roy Williams to North Carolina in 2003, Self's next destination became clear. Self was hired as the eighth coach in Kansas basketball history, and in 11 years has led Kansas to 10 straight Big 12 titles, and a 2008 national title.
John Calipari began his college career at North Carolina, but transferred to Clarion University of Pennsylvania for his final two seasons. Calipari burst onto the coaching scene in 1982, at Kansas under head coach Ted Owens.
In 1985, Calipari was hired as the assistant coach at the University of Pittsburgh. Three years later, Calipari landed his first head-coaching job at the University of Massachusetts. Calipari led UMass to five straight Atlantic 10 titles and five straight NCAA tournament appearances.
Calipari got the attention of the NBA and was hired by the New Jersey Nets in 1996. He
led the Nets to one playoff appearance in three seasons and returned to the college game at the University of Memphis. He won 214 games and led Memphis to seven straight postseason appearances.
In 2009, Calipari left Memphis for his current coaching job at the University of Kentucky, where he has found immense success, including a 2012 national championship.
Self and Calipari are two of the only three NCAA head coaches to lead three different teams to Elite Eight appearances, along with Rick Pitino. In 2012, Self and Calipari met for the second time on the biggest stage.
Now at Kentucky, Calipari had a chance to get revenge against Self and the Jayhawks for 2008. An Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchristled Kentucky team went on to beat Thomas Robinson and the Jayhawks 67-59 in the 2012 national championship game. Davis and Kidd-Gilchrist went on to be the first and second picks in the NBA Draft.
In national championship games, Self and Calipari are tied 1-1. In Champions Classics, Calipari has the edge on Self 1-0. Self will look to settle the score tonight and get some revenge of his own.

Kansas makes committment to limiting turnovers
KIRSTEN PETERSON
@KeepupwithKP
Kansas has learned how to protect the basketball. At least, that is how it looked in the Jayhawks' regular season opener against South Dakota. In the first two exhibition games, the Jayhawks had 43 total turnovers. In Sunday's game, Kansas only had 11 turnovers. Coach Bonnie Henrickson commented on this in Sunday's post-game press conference.
"From the first two exhibition games [the turnovers] were self inflicted - we just threw it around," Henrickson said. "We just had really bad focus and attention to detail. [In the home opener], I thought we took care of the ball, handled it [and] didn't try to make plays that aren't there. In offense, it's not the great plays you make;
it's the bad plays you don't make."
With this mindset to take care of the ball, the Jayhawks will take on Texas Southern at 7 p.m. at Allen Fieldhouse tonight.
When the Jayhawks met with Texas Southern last season, the Tigers' now-senior guard scored 34 points. Kansas' now-senior forward Chelsea Gardner had 30 points, and now-senior guard Asia Boyd followed closely with 25 points.
Gardner and Boyd will be expected to do well in this upcoming game; however, they will be without the senior leadership of Cece Harper at point guard, who had 11 assists in last year's game against Texas Southern. Who will help facilitate this team and control the ball? Well, that's an easy question to answer with true-freshman Lauren Aldridge starting at point. Aldridge has performed well in Coach Henrickson's eyes despite whatever difficulties she faces on the court.
"She's got poise and composure." Henrickson said. "This kid has been in pressure situations and is a mentally tough kid."
"In offense, it's not the great plays you make; it's the bad plays you don't make."
BONNIE HENRICKSON Women's basketball coach
Aldridge is likely to bring her A-game to tonight's game to try to make it two in a row for the 1-0 Hawks.
In the Jayhawks' last game against South Dakota, Gardner got into foul trouble, and the team had to rely on other players to carry the team.
"I always know that when Chelsea gets in foul trouble somebody's got to step up and it's not always me," said senior guard Natalie Knight. "Sometimes, it's one of the underclassman or another upperclassman."
Gardner may have gotten in foul trouble in the layhawks' last game, but she also joined the "1,000-point club" hitting the mark during the game.

"I probably got a thousand fouls before 1 got a thousand points." Gardner joked after Sunday's game with the media. In last season's game against Texas Southern, Gardner didn't commit any fouls. In a game where outcomes are often based on a single possession, Kansas is working on making each and every one count.

Kansas, Kentucky clash in a battle rooted in history
KYLE PAPPAS
@KylePap
Throughout the entire preseason, No. 5 Kansas versus No. 1 Kentucky has been highlighted in red on most college basketball fans' calendars.
One of the year's early marquee games, the matchup's appeal stems as much from the two's current status as top-5 programs as it does from the schools' unparalleled traditions.
When it comes to winning, no two schools have done it better since the turn of the 20th century. The Wildcats sit atop the list of all-time winningest universities with 2,140 victories. The Jayhawks are
second with 2,126.
["Kentucky's] program is so tradition-rich," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "It's the blueest of the blue-bloods and ours is right there with them."
The two have been no strangers to each other over the years. In addition to meeting in the NCAA tournament on three occasions since 1999, both are linked through some of the figures who have helped build their respective traditions.
former Kentucky coach Adolph Rupp, the nameake of the Wildcats' Rupp Arena, led the program from 1930 to 1972 and collected 876 wins in his career — enough for fifth all-time.
Prior to moving to Lexington, he served as a reserve player at Kansas under legendary coach Phog Allen from 1919 to 1923. Rupp also took classes with another influential character in Kansas basketball, according to his son.
"He actually took classes with Dr. [James] Naismith," Adolph Rupp, Jr. said. "He took what he learned from both of those men, and then added his own innovations to it, to come up with Kentucky-style basketball."
Moreover, current Wildcats coach John Calipari was an assistant at Kansas under former coach Larry Brown from 1982 to 1985. When he left to take the same position at the
University of Massachusetts, a 23-year-old recent graduate with no prior coaching experience filled the vacancy. His name was Bill Self.
While the universities share bits of their history with each other, their most common characteristic has been their success on the court.
it's definitely going to be a fun matchup," junior forward Jamari Traylor said. "I know everybody's going to be watching."
The two are battling each other at the top of nearly every all-time statistical category. Most NCAA tournament wins? Kentucky is first with 116, Kansas sits third at 96. Highest winning percentage? Kentucky's at the top with 763 clip and Kansas is third at 720. "I definitely [take pride in Kansas' tradition], it's a lot of history in these two programs,
Also, as two of the most prestigious basketball schools in the nation, it's not rare that the Jayhawks have wound up fighting Kentucky for some of the nation's most-prized recruits. Though Tuesday night will mark their first matchup on the court since 2012, the two have been competing against each other nonstop in the recruiting circuit.
"We've gone head-to-head with Kentucky numerous times, and we've won a couple and lost a few, but that's always going to be the nature of the
business," Self said. "There's a lot of people that we'll recruit against, but it seems like there's been more of the Kentucky-Kansas crossover than maybe there has any other school, at least with us."
No matter how Tuesday night's matchup at Bankers Life Fieldhouse comes out, fans should savor the opportunity to watch college basketball's winningest programs square off against each other.
"It doesn't happen that often."
Self said. "I guess it will happen if we ever play them again, usually when we play, we've got a chance to be No. 1 and No. 2 [in all-time wins]. 'I'll be fun'"

It's why he's scheduled matchups against ranked opponents within the Jayhawks' first two regular season games in each of the past three years. Last year, it was No. 4 Duke. The season prior? No. 21 Michigan State. Back in 2011, it was No. 2 Kentucky.
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
That trend continues with No. 5 Kansas' Champions Classic matchup against No. 1 Kentucky at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis on Tuesday night. Tipoff is set for 8 p.m., or 30 minutes after the conclusion of the Duke-Michigan State game.
"They're good — they've got all the pieces to have a great team obviously." Self said. "We're going to have to be smart, we're going to have to attack pressure — we're going to have to do a lot of things. Hopefully, we'll be sound enough where we can create some problems for them, too."
Kentucky boasts what former Jayhawk coach Larry Brown called "the No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the nation" last week. He was referring to the Wildcats' loaded bench that will feature at least four McDonald's All-Americans at any given time.
Notorious for producing several "one-and-dones" since coach John Calipari's arrival in Lexington, this year's Kentucky team actually returns three key starters in addition to its six man from last season. It's begun the season 2-0, though it looked shaky at times against a much less talented Buffalo team on Sunday.
Also, per usual, the Wildcats secured a handful of the most highly touted recruits in the class of 2014. Forward Karl-Anthony Towns has been the lone newcomer to crack the starting lineup thus far, but all four of Kentucky's first-year players have seen significant minutes early on.
He had a productive campaign last year, averaging 6.8 points and 2.9 blocks per game prior to suffering an ankle injury midway through the NCAA tournament. In two games this season, Cauley-Stein leads Kentucky in minutes and averages 9 points, 7.5 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per contest.
Forward Willem Cauley-Stein, a 7-foot junior from Oatlme, will lead the Wildcats as their most experienced starter.
Freshman forward Trey Lyles leads the team in points, averaging 13 off of the bench through two contests.
"John and his staff have done a great job getting a whole bunch of guys who are highly touted, that may not be in school for a long period of
time, to really share the ball and play unselfishly, too." Self said.
For Kansas, freshman production will be key, too.
Freshman guard Devonte' Graham had a stellar Jayhawk debut on Friday night against UC Santa Barbara. He notched
Guard Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk and forward Cliff Alexander will also be counted on to provide valuable minutes off of the bench. While both have struggled with consistency early, it's clear that the two are special talents with ample room to grow before reaching their proverbial ceilings.
a team-high 14 points and appeared more than capable of running Self's offense.
"Hopefully, we'll be sound enough where we can create some problems for them (Kentucky), too."
BILL SELF Kansas coach
The Jayhawks will require contributions from both in order to hang with the nation's top-ranked squad.
"Last year, we took a bunch of young kids up there too," Self said. "A bunch of young kids on the big stage for the first time. It'll be curious to see how we respond to this, but certainly there will be a different feel in the building than what there's been so far."
They'll also expect a strong
showing from junior forward Perry Ellis, whom Self anticipates serving as the team's primary scorer. Ellis recorded a double-double (13 points, 10 rebounds) against UC. Santa Barbara last time out, collecting two steals in the process. He is Kansas' most consistent all-around performer and will provide stability for what may be an up-and-down team initially.
The in-game matchup to keep an eye on will be the Jayhawks' speed versus the Wildcats' size and length. The Wildcats have four players who are 6-foot-10 or taller. Kansas has only two.
Junior forward Jamari Traylor said he's watched Kentucky this season and has been impressed with how aggressive its big men are in the paint.
"They definitely go after the glass," Traylor said. "They get a lot of second-chance points and opportunities and we've got to limit that."
Currently, Kentucky leads the all-time series over Kansas, 21-6. The Jayhawks' last win against the Wildcats came in 2007, when they knocked them out of the NCAA tournament in the second round, 88-76.

Kappa Sigma investigation lengthened

A refusal of cooperation by members of the Kappa Sigma fraternity is lengthening the investigation of an alleged sexual assault reported on Sept. 28, according to an email statement from Tim Caboni, vice chancellor for public affairs at the University.

The fraternity is also no longer agreeing to interim suspension until the conclusion of the case, according to a letter sent to Kappa Sigma President Jack Schwartz from Stu-
"Contrary to the claims of the Kappa Sigma attorney, KU's investigation is being unnecessarily lengthened by the refusal of fraternity members to fully cooperate," Caboni said in the email. "Fraternity leadership agreed to provide university investigators with notes from the fraternity's own internal investigation, then refused to provide those documents. Mr. Schimmel's claim that no individual member has been notified that he is under investigation is also false."
JAMES HOYT/KANSAN
Kappa Sigma fraternity no longer believes it should be under interim suspension as part of an ongoing sexual assault investigation. A hearing to evaluate the status of the investigation is scheduled for Nov. 24.
"My understanding is that the vast majority of members that have been asked to be interviewed by IOA have either already been interviewed or have scheduled interviews in response to requests by IOA," Schimmel said.
Chuck Schimmel, the attorney representing the KU chapter of Kappa Sigma, said in an email statement he disagrees that members have been uncooperative.
Schwartz, a junior from St. Louis, said 20 members, including himself, have been interviewed so far. He said more interviews are scheduled for the weekend before the hearing.

Career Center hosts Internship Fair
KELSI KIRWIN
@knkirwinUDK
Employers are already seeking students for spring and summer internships, according to an email from the University Career Center. In order to promote opportunities for students to get an internship with a company, the Career Center is putting on an Internship Fair on Wednesday from 3:30-6 p.m. in the Kansas Union Ballroom.
The Internship Fair is an annual event, normally held at the Adams Alumni Center. The event was moved to the Kansas Union this year because the ballroom has more space for more employers. This year, there will be 41 employers there to talk to students about their internship opportunities, said Career
Hartley said along with moving the event to the Union, the Career Center also added a One Stop Prep Shop to accompany the fair this year. The prep shop was held at the Union on Monday. Students brought in their resumes to be reviewed, learned what types of questions to ask the employers and were allowed to borrow business attire for the fair.
Center associate director Ann Hartley.
"The prep shop went really well," Hartley said. "We had maybe 40 to 50 students stop by, which is pretty decent for only being there for three hours. Students asked good questions. We were very happy with the turnout."
A staff member from the Career Center will be at a photo booth at the event, ready to
"All employers use LinkedIn, so students need to have a professional page." Hartley said. "We've been doing this for a few years now and we thought it was a great idea since students come to the fair in business casual or business professional dress."
take professional photos for students' LinkedIn profiles. After the fair, the staff will go through the photos and email them to the students.
The companies participating in the Internship Fair range from University of Kansas Athletics to American Eagle Outfitters to H&R Block, according to the Career Center's website. Many employers will have multiple internship opportunities, Hartley said.
"The best way to connect [to an employer] is face-to-face" Hartley said. "When students
snow up and talk to someone, they get a little further. Students really need internship experience to lead to a full-time career after college, so [the fair] is a great time to take advantage of the opportunity and make a good impression."

Endowment campaign honors donor support
ALICIA GARZA
@AliciaoftheUDK
Rock Chalk Stop the Clock booths will be at Wesco Beach, Anschutz Library and Mrs. E's from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and at the Student Recreation Fitness Center from 2 to 4 p.m today. The booths will be set up to teach students about how donor and alumni support have contributed to the University.
If the University ran solely on government funding and tuition to pay for University spending, today is the day it would have run out, said Sara Brigham, a senior from Shawnee who is the chair head for the event's board. Without donor support and grants provided by alumni, the University would shut down in mid-November.
Graham Naasz, a senior from Overland Park who serves as Student Endowment Board president, said tuition and government funding only covers a third of all operation costs for the year.
"We're trying to get the word out that there are alumni out there doing these amazing things for students that are
giving back to the University to help make the University a better place," Brigham said. "So, really just if they can get that initial spark like 'Oh, wow, my tuition doesn't cover everything that the University is doing', because I think that is just a huge misconception. It's as small as that."
SARA BRIGHAM Chair head for Rock Chalk Stop the Clock
"We're trying to get the word out that there are alumni out there doing these amazing things for students ..."
Today, students have the opportunity to learn about Rock Chalk Stop the Clock. Booths will be set up around campus giving out T-shirts, cookies, water bottles, USB drives and information about what KU Endowment does, the role of alumni and the work that goes into supporting student and the University.
"I would like students to take out of this an appreciation for the amount of work that KU Endowment does and better support for the school, as well as appreciation towards the alumni for helping support the students here." Naasz said.
In order for students to receive a T-shirt at one of these booths, they must sign a thank you banner for the alumni. Student Endowment takes pictures of the banner in the Student Endowment office every year and sends it to alumni and donors so they know they are appreciated on campus. New and recent donors also receive postcards from Student Endowment.
Domestic violence advocate discusses new book at Dole
Several hundred students come out to the booths every year the event has been running, Brigham said. Although students were able to receive different information from each booth in previous years, this year, the same information will be available at every booth so students won't have to visit each location. In the years when students had to travel to different locations for different information, some students were not able to attend each booth.

Dr. Ludy Green, a world-renowned domestic violence advocate and the president and founder of Second Chance Employment Services a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping at-risk women find work spoke Tuesday at the Dole Institute of Politics about the different forms of domestic violence and compared it to a dog being kept in captivity.
Green said it first starts with the abuser building an "invisible fence" over time and then leads to domestic captivity, which Green describes as someone not being able to leave the house or having to ask approval for something. The captivity later turns into domestic disempowerment, a topic covered in her new book, "Ending Domestic Violence Captivity: A Guide to Economic Freedom," where the victim is in constant state of vulnerability and feels trapped.
Green's new book focuses on economic abuse, which, according to Green, is one of the three different types of sexual assault. The other forms of domestic violence are physical and verbal abuse. Her book covers some of the most difficult questions surrounding domestic violence: Why does she stay and why does she return?
"[Universities] should bring in more people who can educate the students, women and men, to learn about respect, understanding what that is, and how much the uses of alcohol and drugs affect these people."
DR. LUDY GREEN Domestic violence advocate
Green said she decided to get involved in stopping domestic violence after volunteering at a women's shelter in her mid-twenties.
"This is my life's mission," she said.
"Domestic violence affects not only Caucasians, but other minorities as well," Green said. "It affects the educated and the uneducated."
When asked how universities can help stop sexual assault and domestic violence on campus, Green said awareness, education and training are key.
According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, one in four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime, with an estimated 1.3 million women abused each year.
"[Universities] should bring in more people who can educate the students, women and men, to learn about respect, understanding what that is, and how much the uses of alcohol and drugs affect these people," Green said. "If they don't educate people in all these areas, then how can you stop it?"
Green has served as cultural ambassador of the United States in Human Trafficking to Jordan and Syria, presented at the Qatar International Business Women Forum and participated in the International Women Forum. She has also won awards such as the 2008 Woman of Vision Award and Washingtonian of the Year, according to a Dole Institute press release.

The men of the Sigma Pi fraternity are speaking to students this week about organ donation as part of the Midwest Transplant Network's campaign, Donate Life. Bader Sayeyed, a freshman member of Sigma Pi from Overland Park, said this campaign is part of the fraternity's national philanthropy.

three hours of your day." Schwartz said. "It's a hard process."
Schwartz said the purpose of the fraternity's separate internal investigation was to speak to the members who attended an unsponsored, spontaneous event at the house on the night of the complaints. Schwartz said it was Schimmel's decision not to hand over the interview notes to the University.
"Really, we are trying not to hide anything from the University," Schwartz said.
"We don't want any of our language or anything we do to get misconstrued and interpreted in any wrong way."
Schimmel said neither the Lawrence Police Department nor the Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access has identified or accused an individual member as a suspect of a sexual offense. Schimmel said if that were the case, the member would be removed from the office.

@KansanOpinion
I realize you think I am a dork for wearing a high school letter jacket, but given how warm it is I have elected to ignore that opinion.
The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines feminism as 1) "The theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes" or 2) "Organized activity on behalf of women's rights and interests."
These two definitions are directly at odds with each other. "Equality of the sexes" means everyone is treated the same, regardless of their gender.
have brought about a state of sex-consciousness are to blame." It is sex-consciousness, the division of the sexes at all, that is the root of inequality. And because of this, "feminism" will never yield equality of the sexes, but only more conflict and strife.
But "women's rights and interests" cannot be defined as the same thing. The interest of one party cannot represent the interest of all parties. I'm not saying that women's rights aren't
important, simply that if we focus solely on "women's interests" we will never see true equality.
The problem is that we feel the need to define "women's" interests as separate from "men's" interests. As a culture, we consider men and women as separate
— this is why inequality exists. If we learned anything from the Civil Rights move
ment, it was that "separate but equal" doesn't exist. The separation of two parties always leads to inequality. If we ever hope to reach a world where men and women are treated equally, we need to stop considering them separately.
It is not men who are to blame for inequality, nor is it women. In the words of Virginia Woolf: "All who

Student groups enrich college experience
By Jesse Burbank
@JBurbank1
When I reflect on my college career thus far, I can honestly say nothing has enriched my experience more than my involvement in student groups. The clubs I've embraced have yielded invaluable benefits in my brief time at the University of Kansas. I've met friends with common interests and similar motivations; I've strengthened my connection to the KU community and I've traveled to places I've never been before.
Indeed, student groups at the collegiate level can accomplish amazing things. Through programs like Alternative Breaks, Model United Nations and Engineers Without Borders, members can travel to new places and engage in life-changing activities that expand their worldview. These experiences, in turn, help develop a better appreciation for one's own circumstances and provide rationale for continued success.
Students can also rally around social causes that work to affect positive change within the KU community and beyond. Whether joining partisan groups like Young Democrats and College Republicans, or uniting around specific issues through organizations like Active Minds, groups for all schools of thought exist right here on campus.
Coming in contact with these causes during your college years helps you discover more about yourself. You learn your strengths, push yourself to meet different people and possibly even discover a passion that drives you.
and invest themselves in the KU community. After all, we are spending years of our life and massive sums of money to attend this fine university. We may as well take full advantage of the opportunities it has to offer.
Given my extremely positive experiences with KU organizations, I'm always baffled when I meet someone that avoids student groups altogether. The usual excuse is that committing time to extracurricular organizations will result in lower grades and less freedom.
Beyond the promotion of personal development, clubs are also a way for students to strengthen their resumes
However, this is not always true. Indeed, spare time can easily become idle time for many students, leading to more distractions and lower overall achievement. For example, Netflix and YouTube often appear to be favorable alternatives to more productive activities, but really yield few of the substantive benefits offered by clubs.
Further, by seeking out groups of motivated peers, students can build a support system to sustain academic success and provide for personal development. Many are concerned with the fact that they simply don't know the clubs available to them.
This is an easy fix. The University has even made locating a club befitting your interests extremely simple with the Rock Chalk Central website. Here you can find a database of every single student organization registered at the University, complete with a description of the club and its contact information.
With more than 600 student organizations, the University offers a vast breadth of organizations for all those wishing to become involved in a group that interests them. Students have every reason to join in and clubs are always overjoyed to have new members. If you haven't yet found a group to get involved in, try a few out. You won't be sorry.

As a college student in today's society, I receive a good amount of information on what's going on around me from social media: Twitter, Facebook, Yik Yak, you name it. If something is happening, it will definitely appear in some way, shape or form on these kinds of sites.Many see this new outlet for news as a positive thing. However, I see social media's take on news to be not only negative, but also corruptive.
Anyone can have a Twitter or Facebook account and download their apps, but this
is where the problem starts.
Yes, while these social media outlets can inform people faster than any other news outlet ever could, they also have the ability to provide false information to the public.
Take the masked men on campus for example: If a student at the University wasn't tweeting, texting or recording the commotion, they were reading about it. Because anyone can put whatever they please on social media, many facts get twisted and sometimes are just flat out wrong. This causes higher rates of panic, as well as outlandish rumors.
Before you know it, people are sharing on their news-feeds that there were 10 men on campus in masks and they all had blowtorches, or that the five Ebola patients from Kansas City were
running loose through the nation.

But when it comes to what is actually happening, versus what people think is happening, the line between the two is blurred causing more negatives than positives. Facts get muddled, rumors start to spread and people start to panic.
Therefore, I must advise my fellow social media addicts to monitor what is posted about current news as both the informer and the absorber of what is going on in their surroundings. Make news, as well as social media, more beneficial and effective for all parties involved.

Freshman accepted to program fighting sex slavery industry
ALANA FLINN
@ alana_finn
Rachel Abercrombie is one of 20 applicants who will travel to Pattaya, Thailand, this summer to combat sex slavery with Thrive Rescue Home.
BEN LIPOWITZ/KANSAN
After weeks of waiting, freshman Rachel Abercrombie from Eden Prairie, Minn., found out she had been accepted to the summer program with Thrive Rescue Home, an organization that focuses on rescuing and healing victims of the sex slavery industry.
Abercrombie was one of 20 accepted applicants who will travel to Pattaya, Thailand, this summer to work with rescued survivors and visit the areas where the victims are sold. Pattaya is known as the world capital for child sex trafficking, according to the Thrive Rescue Home website.
I'm excited to see and meet kids who have simply gone through this and just survived," Abercrombie said.
Jenifer and Jeremy Kraus founded the safehouse with a "purpose to promote peace, freedom, dignity and self-esteem, a sense of belong" to children who have been victimized by the sex slave industry. The house in Pattaya is the first safehome, but Thrive plans on opening a house in India soon.
Kaylie Wilson, communications director for Thrive Rescue Home, said Abercrombie was a perfect candidate for the program.
"Rachel is extremely passionate," Wilson said. "She's someone who is willing to open up about herself, she has the ability to relate with a lot of individuals, financially and emotionally she's ready to prepare for the program and none of the issues that we brought up phased her."
Abercrombie's desire to see an end to human trafficking began when she was young.
The latest available estimate of people enslaved in the sex in-
"My church would do different conferences and things, and sex slavery was one of the things that got brought up a lo," Abercrombie said. "All I thought was 'how does this exist' and I know it's not right. Every person deserves to be free, and this is just something I'm really passionate about."
austry is 27 million, according to the U.S.State Department.
"I'm excited to see and meet kids who have simply gone through this and just survived."

"No one is standing up for these people who are having unspeakable things done to them, but these people are people like you and me who are taken from their horns and branded by a price tag"; Abercrombie said.
Wilson said Thrive Rescue Home aims to competently equip individuals to work in a field against human trafficking. Abercrombie's future goal is to move to Italy and be a criminal prosecutor against those who run the sex industry.
"So many people don't think it's a real thing or that sex slavery happens today," Abercrombie said. "Even if it's just one kid saved, that's still one person rescued. That person matters and that's a reason to fight."

Students bring world flavors to Thanksgiving
@mariss193

BY THE NUMBERS:
The International Student Association will celebrate Thanksgiving this Thursday with international University students and anybody else who would like to join.
The "International Thanksgiving Dinner" was started about 10 to 15 years ago, and it was given "Social Program of the Year" for 2013-14 by the Student Involvement & Leadership Center, said Ayrton Yanayachi, a senior from Arequipa, Peru, and president of ISA.
Yanyachi said the reason ISA hosts the dinner is because of the importance of the Thanksgiving tradition in the U.S.
international organizations from the University that represent different countries are bringing potluck dishes, but Chipotle and Oriental Bistro and Grill are sponsoring the Thanksgiving dinner. ISA, Global Awareness Program, and Global Partners and KU Academic Accelerator Program are also collectively providing three turkeys, Yanyachi said.
"We try to get our international students involved in this tradition by cooking food from their countries so they can share international community" Yanyachi said.
Alejandra Villansante, a sophomore from Arequipa, Peru, is majoring in the theater performance at the University. She also works on the public relations and creative side of ISA. Her job entails publicity aspects like posters and social media, two tasks that she was in charge of both this year and last year for the dinner.
Last year was her first Thanksgiving, and she said the highlight was seeing the number of people who attended after all the effort everyone put into the event.
"Everyone was eating, everyone was talking, everyone was excited and they were trying new things and that was awesome," Villansante said.
- 2,283 international students (graduate and undergraduate) at Kansas
- 300-350 participants expected for International Thanksgiving Dinner 2014
- 250 participants at International Thanksgiving Dinner 2013
- 200 active members of ISA
- 101 international countries represented at Kansas
- 50+ years of ISA
- 10-15 years of the International Thanksgiving Dinner
- 10 ISA board members
- $5 entrance fee
- 3 turkeys

Villansante said the food has been a major adjustment upon settling in the U.S. She said she is used to home-cooked meals made up of protein and vegetables that are low in fat, sugar and carbs. A typical home meal would consist of a stew or Peruvian dish such as cev-

iche, stir-fried beef with rice or potatoes and a glass of blue corn juice. Blue corn juice consists of blue corn boiled with orange zest, cinnamon, cloves and added lime and sugar. It is then strained after it has cooled and looks like a purple water. Villansante said it is refreshing.
Villansante has always wanted to study abroad in the U.S. because of the diversity and abundance of programs and majors that are offered. She applied for scholarships from various universities and said the University offered the best scholarship and that Lawrence is beautiful as well.
Villansante said students in
"People are very supportive of the jayhawks in whatever sport it is and how you identify with that," she said. "KU is a college with a lot of tradition and really big big spirit. That is the best part of KU to me."
ISA is the biggest international organization on campus — host to 2,283 international students — according to the International Student Services webpage. Each international student is considered an automatic member of ISA; however, around 200 students are considered active, Yanyachi said.
ISA, along with five other

international student associations, will host the dinner at the Ecumenical Campus Ministries from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Thursday.
The co-hosting student groups are the Peruvian Association of Lawrence, Brazilian Student Association, Paraguayan Student Association and Malaysian Student Association and Cultural India Club.
the event, which is open to the public, will charge an entrance fee of $5, which will go toward renting the venue, and all leftover proceeds will go to Douglas County Toys for Tots.

Her Campus KU hosts male pageant
CODY SCHMITZ
@cody_schmitz
While many men are growing mustaches during November to raise awareness for testicular cancer, women are at a disadvantage in the facial hair department. That's where Her Campus KU comes in with an event that allows both men and women to aid the fight.
in the Woodruff Auditorium on the fifth floor of the Kansas Union tonight at 7 p.m., the campus organization Her Campus KU will host the event Mr. KU,Mr.KU is a male pageant held with the purpose of raising money for testicular cancer research.
Her Campus KU is a chapter of hercampus.com, a national online magazine. The magazine boasts about 200 individual chapters internationally. The KU chapter page features the stories that Her Campus KU generates. The articles are written for and by KU women.
"We like to say that we're the 'Cosmo' of KU," said Laura Fagen, a senior from Wichita and president of Her Campus KU.
Her Campus KU is extremely active on campus. The organization holds at least two events every month. For example, the organization held breast cancer awareness events in October and now the group is putting on Mr.KU to include men in their efforts.
We like to be as inclusive as we can and we love the idea of supporting our male counterparts," Fagen said.
Ireland's gay bull Benjy saved from slaughterhouse
DUBLIN — He faced execution for failure to perform. But Benijy, the gay bull of Ireland, has been saved following a worldwide appeal backed by "The Simpsons" co-creator Sam Simon.
Ireland's Animal Rights Action Network said Tuesday that Simon is paying for Benjy's transportation to an animal sanctuary in England, Simon, who is battling colon cancer, has been giving away much of the fortune from his television career and is a leading donor to animal welfare causes.
Benij, a Charleroi bull, failed this year to impregnate any heifers at a County Mayo farm in western Ireland. Veterinarians determined he was fertile, but was more attracted to the bull that replaced him.
This event marks the second year Her Campus KU has organized the Mr. KU event. Fagen said there was no pageant last year though, and that men just applied and they made a board with their information. She said this year they want to make it a pageant and make it fun.
After the farmer announced he planned to send Benijo to an abattoir, activists last week launched a social media campaign seeking 5,000 pounds ($7,825) to send the bull to the Hillside Animal Sanctuary in Norfolk, England, which is home for about 2,000 unwanted farm animals and horses. About 300 donors contributed 4,000 British pounds ($6,200) to an ongoing fundraising drive organized by the British online magazine TheGayUK.
Associated Press
Simon, who funds a Malibu dog shelter and many other animal rights projects, said he heard about Benjy's case through friends at the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals pressure group. He said he was happy to donate the full original cash target to buy Benjy and ship him to England.
Competing for the title of Mr. KU are sophomore Sam Eastes from Pratt; junior Omar Rana from Broken Arrow, Okla., Mason Kilpatrick from Hutchinson and Jake Parker Nelson from Hays; and senior Paul Quigley from Overland Park.
"All animals have a dire destiny in the meat trade, but to kill this bull because he's gay would've been a double tragedy," Simon said in a statement. "It thrills me to help PETA and ARAN make Benijys fate a sanctuary rather than a sandwich."
Haley Streed, a senior from Lake Ozark, Mo., and event planner for Mr. KU, is a co-host for the night. She said each guy will come out in their formal wear and then there will be
ARAN campaigns director John Carmody said Simon and other donors were buying the bull "a one-way ticket to freedom."
three onstage questions that will be drawn out of a hat. She said this will be followed by a talent portion before they explain to the audience how voting works. The pageant will last around one hour.
"We like to be as inclusive as we can and we love the idea of supporting our male counterparts."
LAURA FAGEN
President of Her Campus KU
Individuals can vote for which candidate they want to win by putting their loose change into five designated
jars. Voting occurs directly after the event and Thursday and Friday, Nov. 20 and 21, in the Union from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The candidate who raises the most money will win the event. The winner will receive a feature article on the Her Campus KU's website as well as the honor of being awarded "Mr. KU."
The money that is raised in the voting process will go toward testicular cancer research. Programs such as "Movember," an event that challenges men to grow a mustache to start conversations about testicular cancer, strive for the same goal as Mr. KU. Streed hopes the event will raise even more awareness.
"Creating awareness is never a bad thing," she said.

THE DAILY DEBATE
Who is the best team in the NFL?
By Kyle Hicks
@udkylehicks
"PACKERS"
We all know that Allen Fieldhouse is one of the
greatest home court advantages in sports. Throughout this year, and especially in past couple weeks, Lambeau Field is giving the Phog a run for it's money. Before you get offended for comparing our great stadium to another, lets look at some of the Packer's unreal statistics at home as of recently.
With four straight blowouts at home against Minnesota, Carolina, Chicago and Philadelphia, the Green and Gold have put up an astounding 128-9 point differential at halftime. Even though Aaron Rodgers has been the centerpiece of this team, the Packers' defense has done anything but lack on their end.
Speaking of Rodgers, he has gone his last 11 home games
without a single interception, throwing 29 touchdowns along the way. This sets his passer rating at a whopping 129. As for this season, he has maintained a league high passer rating at 120.1 with 28 touchdowns and just three interceptions.
Yet even in a passer-friendly league, where the teams with the best quarterbacks inevitably dominate, a team needs more than a great player under center to win Super Bowls. With the addition of Julius Peppers this off season and Clay Matthews' recent switch to inside linebacker this season, the Packer's defense has found their stride with seven turnovers in the past two games combining for four touchdowns on defense and special teams.
Rodgers may not have the best running back or wide receiver in his arsenal, but he does have an abundance of options almost equal to that. Sitting at the second and third spot for most receiving
touchdowns are two packers: Randall Cobb (10) and Jordy Nelson (9). Rodgers' go-to receiver in Nelson also ranks third in receiving yards with 998 and has caught 60 passes thus far.
As for the backfield, Eddy Lacy hasn't fully matched up to his electric past season, but when Rodgers is playing the way he is, he doesn't have to. This is not to say that Lacy is having a bad season at all. With a Marshawn Lynch-esque power running style, Lacy makes a lot out of nothing by breaking several tackles. He also ranks 17th in rushing yards, which is all they have needed out of him thus far.
If the Packer's total dominance at home hasn't convinced thus far, keep an eye out for them in week 13 against one of the AFC's best the New England Patriots. If the Packers play like they have been, New England has a big plate ahead of them.

We are officially 11 weeks into the NFL season
and multiple teams stand out while fans and analysts debate over who the best team in the league is.
Arizona, Green Bay and Kansas City are all riding hot streaks and should be in consideration, but no team in the NFL is playing better than the New England Patriots right now.
Since being dismantled 41-14 during week four at the hands of the Kansas City Chiefs during Monday Night Football, Tom Brady and company have recovered and taken care of the competition.
DAILY DEBATE RESULTS: OCT. 30, 2014 Who would win a matchup between Kentucky and the Philadelphia 76ers?
Tom Brady would help his team continue its hot streak by racking up 361 yards passing and four touchdowns as the Patriots defeat a respectable Buffalo Bills squad 37-22.
The team went on to defeat the New York Jets and Chicago Bears at Gillette Stadium leading up to back-to-back games against two more AFC division leaders.
The Patriots haven't stopped there.
Week nine is when the Patriots made a strong argument for best team in the NFL. New England faced the red-hot Denver Broncos, who were 6-1, with the only blemish on their schedule being an overtime loss in week three to the defending champion, the Seattle Seahawks. The Broncos had been blowing out their competition and Peyton Manning and his offense were the consensus favorites to win the Super Bowl. That didn't faze the Patriots.
The loss against Kansas City seemed to be a wakeup call for the Patriots as we saw Bill Belichick bench his star quarterback in the fourth quarter. Just a week later, Brady threw for 292 yards and two touchdowns as the Patriots defeated the AFC North division leader Cincinnati 43-17.
This past weekend we saw the Patriots dominate another AFC division leader as they visited the leader of the AFC South, Indianapolis. The team would win with a score of 42-20 as Andrew Luck and the Colts didn't have what it took to take the W.
double the supposedly unstoppable Broncos offense in points and go on to win 43-21 against the AFC West division leaders.
New England's defense would record two interceptions against Manning while Brady threw for over 300 yards and four touchdowns again. The Patriots would
PHILADELPHIA: 69%
This last week we may have seen a new star emerge from the Patriots offense. While Brady threw two interceptions on the night, first year running back Jonas Gray len a helping hand and ran for 199 yards and a franchise-record four touchdowns. For the fantasy football fans, that's almost 50 points for Gray owners.
The Patriots have tough matchups coming up in the next two weeks against NFC North division leaders Green Bay and Detroit. If the Patriots can stay hot and survive the next two weeks they will be the clear Super Bowl favorites.

Game to forget:
Game to remember:
Chayla Cheadle was solid against the Tigers, scoring a team-high 15 points, while adding four rebounds and two assists. The Missouri-native got out to a solid start, scoring nine in the first half, and she was a big part of why the Jayhawks were able to put the game away early.
None of the Jayhawks had too bad of a game, but Lorraine Enabulele did have somewhat of a down performance. Enabulele failed to score in her time on the court, and she seemed to hurt her left leg towards the end of the game, although she would ultimately come back into the game.
Unsung hero:
KANSAS

Jada Brown was a key piece for of the Jayhawks' victory, despite scoring just four points. Brown snagged nine rebounds in her 28 minutes of play, and her overall effort was key as Kansas emerged with a blowout victory.
Player Kansas couldn't contain:
Sophomore guard Keyla Morgan drives to the basket during the first half Tuesday at Allen Fieldhouse. Morgan finished with six rebounds and four points in the Jayhawks' 69-44 victory against Texas Southern University.
While Kansas didn't have any struggle in stopping Texas Southern, Morgan Simmons managed to be quite productive, racking up 11 points and 10 rebounds. However, even Simmons struggled, as she committed three fouls and had three turnovers, in addition to shooting just 43 percent from the free throw line. Overall, it was a strong defensive performance from Kansas.
MISSY MINEAR/KANSAN
First half summary:
The Jayhawks got off to a hot start, connecting on each of their first four field goal attempts and hitting five
of their first seven 3-point attempts. The Jayhawks used a 16-2 run early in the first half to take a commanding lead, and the team never looked back. One play in the first half managed to sum up the game quite well, occurring with about 13 minutes to go. Terriiell Bradley crossed over her defender and swung the ball out to Natalie Knight, who passed inside to Bunny Williams. Williams then kicked the ball out to Keyla Morgan, who found Chayla Cheadle in the corner for a wide open three. Every single player touched the ball, which was indicative of the Jayhawks ball movement; eight different players registered a made field goal.
Second half summary:
The second half was more of a grind it out effort, as the Jayhawks outscored the Tigers 28-20. The scoring slowed way down, but with Kansas starting the half with a 17 point lead, it didn't matter all that much. Chelsea Gardner had a solid second half, recording 10 points and two rebounds. Overall the Jayhawks managed to maintain control throughout the entire period, as there was never really a question about who was going to win the game.
Moving forward:
"It started from Day I when Dr. Zenger and I talked about this thing, about how we needed to create an identity about what Kansas football is going to be."
Looking ahead the Jayhawks will need to continue to show improvement shooting the ball, as they shot just 2-of-8 from three-point range during the second half. The Jayhawks' next matchup will be against Alabama, who currently sit at 1-2. However, the real test will come Saturday and Sunday, as the Jayhawks will be playing their second and third game in as many days.

The Big 12 is taking notice of that identity
According to an eye-witness account of the exchange, TCU players told Kansas, "You guys played your asses off. Don't let anyone tell you that you don't belong, because you do."
A perennial underachiever over the past six seasons, Bowen has cost a lot of people money in the past two months. That Kansas covered the 28-point Vegas spread.
"We never put any limitations on ourselves," Bowen said. "They're here to play Big 12 football."
Hearing the same message they've been fed by Bowen from people outside the program, validates.
Kansas is becoming known as a team that routinely competes at or above its ceiling.
But Kansas had a team with National Championship aspirations on the ropes — a bona fide shot at winning this football game.
the fifth time in six tries under head coach Clint Bowen, against No. 4 TCU, was reason to be optimistic.

Despite talent disparities, the team has looked mentally and physically prepared to take the field in each of Bowen's five games as head coach.
Kansas football is fun again.

THE MORNING BREW
Chiefs have legitimate shot to win AFC West
A bad 16-point loss to a very poor Tennessee Titans team in week one had many Kansas City Chiefs fans calling for Andy Reid's job. To make it even worse, linebacker Derrick Johnson was lost for the year with a torn Achilles tendon.

@gjmelia
But the following week, Kansas City traveled into Mile High Stadium to face Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos, the Chiefs' kryptonite a year before. The team outplayed Denver and Manning in almost every aspect except for the scoreboard, losing 24-17.
The Chiefs finished with more total yards, first downs and did not commit one turnover. In addition, Denver committed 11 penalties totaling 71 yards. The Chiefs suffered again by losing running back Jaamaal Charles
and safety Eric Berry to sprained ankles in the first half.
Since that point, Kansas City has won seven of its last eight games, including impressive wins against New England, San Diego and Seattle, the defending Super Bowl champions. New England now has the best record in the AFC at 8-2.
The Chiefs also beat the pesky St. Louis Rams 34-7, a team that has knocked off both Seattle and Denver
this season.
With the Broncos loss to the Rams over the weekend, Kansas City is now tied for first place in the AFC West with Denver at 7-3. Denver still holds the tiebreaker over the Chiefs with the week two win.

Denver on Nov. 30. The Chiefs will have to win both of those games to stay in the AFC West race.
Kansas City's schedule the rest of the season is no cakewalk, though. They will still have to face the NFLs best, the Arizona Cardinals, in Phoenix and make
the trip up to Pittsburgh and play the talented Steelers team. The season will conclude hosting the San Diego Chargers, which could be AFC West clinch game for either the Chiefs or the Broncos if Kansas City were to lose.

Bowen, interim Kansas football coach, said the team practiced hard before the game and came out focused Saturday.
After a competitive game with then-No. 4 TCU, the message Clint Bowen had was clear: The team is improving, but the bottom line is Kansas lost.
Junior receiver Tre Parmalee (11) junior defensive lineman Andrew Bolton (95) and sophomore safety Tevin Shaw (30) and the rest of the Kansas team raise their helmets towards the KU student section after TCU's 34-30 defeat of Kansas on Nov. 14.
"When we step onto the field you expect to win. And you do everything in your power to win."
CLINT BOWEN Football coach
JAMES HOYT/KANSAN
Bowen said. "When we step onto the field, you expect to win. And you do everything in your power to win."
"I really want to commend our players," Bowen said. "Last week was a tough preparation week."
The Jayhawks matched up well against one of the top teams in the Big 12, but Bowen said they don't want to just be competitive, they want to win.
On paper, the matchup was in TCU's favor, but until late in the third quarter, the Jayhawks led the game.
"The bottom line is that we lost the game," Bowen said. "That has to be the story. We lost. A loss is never acceptable."
The performance gave the team a lot of attention. After the game, TCU coach Gary Patterson said Kansas did a great job and voiced support for Bowen.
"We have talked about that our expectations are that we're Big 12 football players playing in the Big 12 conference,"
Despite the outcome, there are many positives to come from Kansas' performance.
the players continue to improve every week, and I think our development is starting to show up." Bowen said. "I think our players are starting to see positive results from their hard work and the improvement on the field. It keeps them motivated and keeps them going."
The previous week, Kansas defeated Iowa State at home for its first Big 12 victory of the year. On Oct. 11, Kansas played tough against then-No. 16 Oklahoma State before falling behind. Outside of a blowout loss to Baylor, the Jayhawks have shown improvement week-to-week.
Offensively, the team has shown the biggest strides. Against TCU, both Nigel King and Jimmay Mundine had more than 100 receiving yards. On Monday, Mundine was named a semifinalist for the Mackey Award, which is given
to the nation's best tight end. Bowen said the recent success of both King and Mundine can be attributed to a more conscious effort to throw the ball their way and involve them in the offense.
the recent performances is confidence. Bowen said there is confidence in sticking to the game plan.
"You know, it's confidence in what we're telling them, if they carry it out, we'll have results on the field," Bowen said.
Maybe one of the biggest positives to come from
confidence in being able to match up with top teams like TCU.
He said there is also
"I think there is also confidence that they lined up against a team that quite frankly everyone [outside the team] thought that was going to kind of steamroll them over,"
Bowen said.
Now, the Jayhawks have turned their focus to visiting the Oklahoma Sooners and seeing if their recent trend of improvement continues.

Kansas sets new low with loss to Kentucky in Champions Classic
KANSAS 10
BLAIR SHEADE
@RealBlairSheady
"We aren't very good," Kansas coach Bill Self said.
The last time Kansas lost by more than 25 points was against Texas in 2014, but Kansas set a new low against Kentucky on Tuesday night.
At the postgame press conference, Self said he needed a drink after the Jayhawks scored a programhistory low 12 points in the second half as Kentucky defeated Kansas 72-40.
"I was hoping [the water bottle] was vodka, but no, it's just water," Self said.
Freshman guard Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk drives past a Kentucky defender in Tuesday night's Champion Classic. The Jayhawks only shot 20 percent from the field in the 72-40 loss.
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
Twelve second-half points was the worst total since 2005 when Arizona held Kansas to 20 points in the second half. The score portrays the Kansas performance as the Jayhawks shot 20 percent from the field.
Kentucky had the same number of blocks (11) as Kansas had field goals (11). The Jayhawks didn't have a single player in double-digits.
"It's not a total shock when you hang 40, it's hard for a guy to get 10," Self said. The last time Kansas shot worse than 30 percent was against San Diego State in 2014. Twenty percent from the field is the worst percentage in school history.
Junior forward Perry Ellis couldn't get anything going all night. The Kentucky frontcourt stopped Ellis the whole game, and Ellis only played 21 minutes because of his struggles. He struggled to get off shots around the Wildcats length, shooting 1-for-6 from the field. Ellis also recorded a season-low two rebounds.
Kansas shot 15-27 from the free-throw line, and committed 11 turnovers.
The Kansas offense didn't only struggle shooting, but the jayhaws also struggled to distribute the basketball. Point guards Frank Mason and Devonte' Graham were assistless the entire game.
Kentucky's size wasn't the only thing killing Kansas. Kentucky constantly rotated 10 players on the court, and Kentucky coach John Calipari thinks the 10-man rotation or "the platoon" method worked against Kansas. The Kentucky bench was playing so well that Calipari started the second platoon in the second half, which led the Wildcats to a 6-0 run in the first four minutes of the half.
"When they looked, more tank came over the hill," Calipari said.
After Kentucky pulled ahead
35-17 in the first half, Kansas finished the half on a 11-3 run — Kansas went on a 7-0 run with two minutes left in the first half and narrowed the deficit to 10.
The second half was where the offensive woes really appeared for Kansas. The layhawks didn't score a point in the second half until five minutes in. Freshman forward Cliff Alexander hit one of his two free throws to end the scoreless drought.
The field goal drought didn't end until seven minutes into the second half when
phomoreh guard Wayne Selden Jr. hit a shot. Selden had another poor night from the field, shooting 4-for-12 and missing both of his free throws.
Kentucky dominated every aspect of the game — Kansas didn't have one lead the entire game. Self said the team won't watch this game and will forget about the loss and move on.
"I don't know what the film will do," Self said.

COMMENTARY
Kansas football forms identity in senior day loss
By Dan Harmsen
@UDK Dan
At 5:34 p.m. Saturday in Lawrence, a southerly wind blew through a frosty Mount Oread.
Down in Fort Worth, Texas, TCU Horned Frogs fans exhaled a collective sigh of relief, a sigh large enough to be felt 500 miles north, as the highly favored Frogs needed a 24-point second half performance and 10-point comeback to preserve its team's hopes of a bid to the inaugural College Football Plavoff.
In the final home game for 21 Kansas football players, the jayhawks almost pulled off the unfathomable.
Surviving a fierce passing onslaught and an opportunistic Kansas defense, the Horned Frogs moved to (9-1, 6-1).
As the clock trickled down, the Kansas seniors looked up at the scoreboard, on the losing end once again. Ben Heeney, JacCore Shepherd, Jimmy Mundine, Tony Pierson — they've been a part of just nine victories as Jay-hawks. This loss, though, was so much different than those that preceded it. It provided a great paradox: hope in defeat.
About an hour after the game, Shepherd walked out to the stadium to look up at the stadium lights one last time.
"I just want us to be remembered as guys that didn't give up," Shepherd said. "No matter what, we stayed together."
With the four-point loss, the Jayhawks' bowl game possibilities were nixed.
"It was a great effort by everyone today," Heeney said. "I felt like everything was going our way, but this one is a tough one."
Even when the football gods seemed to be smiling on the home team, when Kansas recovered the oblong football right along the sideline twice, when Nick Harwell and Nigel King hauled in tipped passes for big plays, and when a broken field goal attempt resulted in a first down pass, TCU was just a little too much.
Ultimately, Kansas lost this game because of a talent disadvantage. Kansas was unable to get the ground game rolling against a nasty TCU front-seven. Kansas was held to just 76 yards rushing on 36 carries.
But the moral of this story is that Kansas was in it until the end and had a chance to defeat its first ranked opponent since 2008. There was heaps of hope on a cold November Saturday in Lawrence. A newly formed identity headed by interim head coach Clint Bowen was the culprit.
Bowen, who has been with Kansas football through thick and thin, highs and lows, as player and coach, won't listen to the critics, though. When he first took the job after the Charlie Weis firing the mes-

Kansas smothered by Kentucky's height, loses 72-40 in Champions Classic
BRIAN HILLIX

@DoubleHillix
It's a problem that knocked Kansas out of the NCAA Tournament Round of 32 last season. It's a problem that prevented No.5 Kansas (1-1) from even challenging No.1 Kentucky (3-0) in the Champions Classic on Tuesday.
Height — or Kansas' lack thereof — allowed Kentucky to have its way inside all night long. The Wildcats bullied and swatted their way to a 72-40 win against the Jayhawks at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
"You get long athletes that like to guard, and they can cover up from mistakes as well as anybody I've ever seen," Kansas coach Bill Self said of Kentucky's length.
Kentucky outscored Kansas 30-12 in the paint and tallied
10 more second-chance points. The Jayhawks only made six field goals around the basket the entire evening, seeing 11 shots turned away by Wildcat defenders.
In the game against Stanford that ended Kansas' 2012-13 season, the offense wavered against a Stanford fleet that consisted of five players at 6-foot-10 or taller. Without 7-footer Joel Embiid, the Jayhawks were shut down around the basketball as they lost 60-57.
The Jayhawks faced the same issue Tuesday, only with bigger and more athletic players.
Last year at the Champions Classic, Kansas defeated Duke by 11. Perry Ellis was primarily guarded by the 6-foot-8 Jabari Parker, and he took advantage. Ellis logged nine rebounds and 24 points, easily finishing around the
basket.
Facing two 7-footers and another at 6-foot-10 Tuesday, Ellis vanished. A player who finished second on the team in scoring last season, Ellis ended with two points on six field goal attempts.
It wasn't just Ellis who went missing.
The Kansas frontcourt combined for 14 points and shot 15 percent from the field. As a team, Kansas shot 20 percent in the game — the worst team field goal percentage in a game by a Self-coached team at Kansas.
Self said his team is best playing in a system on offense, but Kansas couldn't get any sort of flow. Players rarely got open shots, and nearly every drive ended in someone running into a wall of Kentucky players, ready to alter every shot.
The three post players who
should log the most minutes for Kansas this season — forwards Ellis, Jamari Traylor and Cliff Alexander — all stand at 6-foot-8. Moving forward, they will need to learn how to score against bigger players, especially against Big 12 foe Texas, who has three bodies at 6-foot-9 or taller.
Kansas saw its freshmen combine for 18 points in their first big game in the national spotlight. Alexander, despite foul trouble, still managed to score eight points and make eight trips to the free-throw line. Kelly Oubre Jr. shot 67 percent and was the only Kansas player to shoot better than 33 percent.
"Those young players will be good in time, no question," Self said.
Sophomore Wayne Selden Jr. led Kansas with nine points as no player reached
double-digits in scoring.
Self didn't put too much stock in this one early-season game, noting that some good teams start the season slow.
"I'm a little discouraged," Self said. "But it's too early in the season to get discouraged. If I'm not mistaken, the [Kansas City] Chiefs weren't very good to start the season, either."
Kentucky coach John Calipari said Kansas just ran into a buzz saw.
"This team, by the end of the year, will be fine," Calipari said.
Looking to put a miserable offensive performance behind them, the Jayhawks return home to play Rider on Nov. 24.
"If anything, [this game] will make us a litter tougher," Self said.

The lajayhawks were on fire Tuesday night, defeating the Texas Southern Tigers 69-44.
Freshman guard Lauren Aldridge drives to the basket during the first half of Tuesday's game at Allen Fieldhouse. Aldridge finished with seven points in the Louisiana 69. 4A victory against Texas Southern University.
Kansas freshmen accumulated 33 of the 69 points for the Jayhawks. Freshman guard Chayla Cheadle totaled 15 baskets and was 4-for-5 from 3-point range.
"I just thought if I bring a lot of energy and have confidence, that my game will come to me, and that's exactly what happened," Cheadle said.
MISSY MINEAR/KANSAN
There was an obvious leader missing on the court for most of the first half. Senior forward Chelsea Gardner only played 18 minutes, but she grabbed five rebounds and scored a game-high 14 points.
With three games scheduled for this weekend, coach Bonnie Henrickson thought she would play deep into the Jayhawks' bench and keep the key players off the court.
"For us, it was a great opportunity to get the young kids in the game and get to the bench, and let those guys get on the floor," Henrickson
The Jayhawks' bench scored 30 points in the game, with 26 of those points coming from freshmen guards Cheadle and Terriell Bradley. Henrickson wanted to even out the minutes among the entire bench and get the whole team

involved.
"It's hard to prepare and have confidence [playing the bench] once you get to January," Henrickson said. "It's really important for us, and I've made a commitment to try to play that way early. We're four-player switching more than we ever have typically in nonconference."
Sophomore forward Jada Brown performed
Freshman forward Lorraine Enabulele seemed to have hurt her leg and had to be helped off the court while the Jayhawks were up 20 points late in the game, but she was quickly brought back in five minutes later.

[Lorraine's] OK. It scared everybody," Henrickson said. "But yeah, she's fine. I might not have put her in quite honcstly, [but I] let her go get a couple more rebounds; let her go get a couple more plays."
The Jayhawks will return to Allen Fieldhouse on Friday at 6 p.m. to take on Alabama.

The influence of student government leaders from across the state prevented the passage of an amendment that would remove the requirement for a referendum for all fee changes at the seven Kansas Board of Regents universities.
At Wednesday's Board of Regents meeting, members heard the proposed amendment on KSA 76-742, the statute that dictates that a student body referendum is required if a University administration wants to increase student tuition or fees to pay for a new building.
The amendment would remove the requirement for a referendum and only require administrators to only "consult" student government leadership.

"I think that the concerns that were raised throughout, were definitely valid and they were things that needed to be discussed, but I was disappointed that the debate was cut short," Klein said.
The bill eventually passed with an amendment that removed the $330 dollars designated for the Jaybowl rental as well as adjusting the fee to provide a sign for the event.
Senators also debated the funding for the University's Mock Trial team, which requested more funding for travel expenses because the team has more than tripled its membership this year.
They requested additional funding to account for the additional members. Currently, students with the mock trial team do not pay for travel expenses because

COMMENTARY
Kansas football forms identity in senior day loss
By Dan Harmsen
@UDK Dan
At 5:34 p.m. Saturday in Lawrence, a southerly wind blew through a frosty Mount Oread.
Down in Fort Worth, Texas,
TCU Horned Frogs fans
exhaled a collective sigh of
relief, a sigh large enough to
be felt 500 miles north, as the
highly favored Frogs needed
a 24-point second half
performance and 10-point
comeback to preserve its
team's hopes of a bid to the
inaugural College Football
Playoff.
In the final home game for 21 Kansas football players, the Jayhawks almost pulled off the unfathomable.
Surviving a fierce passing enslaught and an opportunistic Kansas defense, the Horned Frogs moved to (9-1, 6-1).
As the clock trickled down, the Kansas seniors looked up at the scoreboard, on the losing end once again. Ben Heeney, JaCorey Shepherd, Jimmay Mundine, Tony Pierson — they've been a part of just nine victories as Jayhawks. This loss, though, was so much different than those that preceded it. It provided a great paradox: hope in defeat.
About an hour after the game, Shepherd walked out to the stadium to look up at the stadium lights one last time.
With the four-point loss, the Jayhawks' bowl game possibilities were nixed.
"I just want us to be remembered as guys that didn't give up," Shepherd said. "No matter what, we stayed together."
"It was a great effort by everyone today," Heeney said. "I felt like everything was going our way, but this one is a tough one."
Even when the football gods seemed to be smiling on the home team, when Kansas recovered the oblong football right along the sideline twice, when Nick Harwell and Nigel King hauled in tipped passes for big plays, and when a broken field goal attempt resulted in a first down pass, TCU was just a little too much.
Ultimately, Kansas lost this game because of a talent disadvantage. Kansas was unable to get the ground game rolling against a nasty TCU front-seven. Kansas was held to just 76 yards rushing on 36 carries.
But the moral of this story is that Kansas was in it until the end and had a chance to defeat its first ranked opponent since 2008. There was heaps of hope on a cold November Saturday in Lawrence. A newly formed identity headed by interim head coach Clint Bowen was the culprit.
Bowen, who has been with Kansas football through thick and thin, highs and lows, as player and coach, won't listen to the critics, though. When he first took the job after the Charlie Weis firing the mesa) Provide the information on how to use

Abstract:
Latex is often used in research papers to represent mathematical equations. However, it can be a complex and error-prone method. In this paper, we propose a new method for calculating latex in academic papers using machine learning.
We use a dataset of 1000 papers from three universities in the United States. Each paper has a title, author, and abstract. We train a shallow neural network (a CNN) on this dataset to learn the relationship between the abstract and title.
The output of the CNN is a latent vector that represents the text content of each paper. This vector is then transformed into a latent space by a multi-head attention mechanism (MHA). The MHA uses a series of self-attention layers to generate a latent vector for each word in the document.
We evaluate the performance of our method on two benchmark datasets: Stanford University and Cornell University. Our method achieves a mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.035 on Stanford University and 0.042 on Cornell University, indicating that our method is highly effective.
In conclusion, our proposed method for calculating latex in academic papers using machine learning is a promising approach. It can be used to improve the readability and clarity of academic papers.

**RECOMMENDATION:** Use the best and most effective treatment for your condition, taking into account your overall health and lifestyle. Consult a healthcare professional to determine the most suitable treatment plan for you.
**DISCUSSION:** What factors influence the effectiveness of a treatment? How can we improve our treatment outcomes?
**QUESTION:** Can we achieve better results with different treatments? What are the benefits and drawbacks of each treatment option?
**ANSWER:** The effectiveness of a treatment depends on several factors, including the type of disease, the patient's age, gender, and lifestyle. Different treatments offer varying levels of efficacy and safety. For example, oral medications may be more effective than topical or inhalation therapies. We can improve our treatment outcomes by using a combination of these treatments and monitoring our patients' progress over time.

Student senators debate funding for organizations
MIRANDA DAVIS
@MirandaDavisUDK
Wednesday night's full Student Senate meeting included a lot of debate on funding bills as well as the quick passage of election reform.
Senate discussed the possibility of a tobaccofree campus in the future; however, this is a provost policy, and Student Senate doesn't have an official tie to the decision-making process.
STUDENT GROUP FUNDING
Student Senate debated a bill to fund $970 to the KU Chabad Jewish Center's Hanukkah Bowl because members didn't want to fund the rental of the Jaybowl facilities, because the opposition believed that Jaybowl portion of the event had no cultural ties and was only a social event.
Senators also debated not funding the flyer because it has a menorah on it, which some considered a religious symbol and some didn't.
The debate on the entire bill was cut short with a motion to vote when a speaker's time
ran out. Kaitlyn Klein, the presenter of the bill and a senior from Bellevue, Neb., said it was disheartening that the debate ended before all those wanting to speak had the chance.
"I think that the concerns that were raised throughout, were definitely valid and they were things that needed to be discussed, but I was disappointed that the debate was cut short," Klein said.
The bill eventually passed with an amendment that removed the $330 dollars designated for the Jaybowl rental as well as adjusting the fee to provide a sign for the event.
Senators also debated the funding for the University's Mock Trial team, which requested more funding for travel expenses because the team has more than tripped its membership this year.
They requested additional funding to account for the additional members. Currently, students with the mock trial team do not pay for travel expenses because

Senate work prevents KBOR amendment passage
MIRANDA DAVIS
@MirandaDavisUDK
The influence of student government leaders from across the state prevented the passage of an amendment that would remove the requirement for a referendum for all fee changes at the seven Kansas Board of Regents universities.
At Wednesday's Board of Regents meeting, members heard the proposed amendment on KSA 76-742, the statue that dictates that a student body referendum is required if a University administration wants to increase student tuition or fees to pay for a new building.
The amendment would remove the requirement for a referendum and only require administrators to only "consult" student government leadership.
something the student leaders said was too vague.
The seven student body presidents, also members of the Student Advisory Council (SAC) of the Board of Regents, learned of the proposed amendment at the October Regents meeting and decided the amendment was not something they supported as a group.
Before today's meeting, the SAC met again and discussed the impact of the amendment. During his officer report to the regents, Reagan Kays, Kansas State student body president and SAC chair, reiterated the efforts of the student governments and distributed the seven resolutions from the
Since then, all six schools' student governments have passed resolutions of opposition against the amendment.
schools to the regents.
Kays said he was very excited about the board's choice and the support the students received.
"I think it just feels pretty good to stand up for the students and that the Kansas Board of Regents listens to students" Kays said.
Morgan Said, student body president and senior from Kansas City, Mo., said the University's Student Senate has been central to this united opposition. She said she worked with Will Admussen, government relations director, to draft the initial resolution. Admussen said the board's decision not to pursue the amendment on Wednesday showed the importance of student input.

Masked man pleads not guilty to two charges
John Michael Cowan plead not guilty to the charges of disorderly conduct and obstruction of legal process Wednesday afternoon. Cowan's next court date is scheduled for Jan. 26 at 1:30 p.m. Cowan is the University student identified and arrested by the KU Public Safety Office for wearing a Guy Fawkes mask and entering classes to protest the University's handling of sexual assault cases
"I am here on behalf of the victims of the sexual assault and rape cases that have been happening on campus," Cowan allegedly said. "I am here to let them know that they are not alone."
Cowan was one of two men wearing masks taken into custody by KU PSO on Guy Fawkes Day. Cowan was the only man arrested. Capt. James Anguiano of PSO said the two men were not affiliated and neither had weapons.

Cowan was released from jail the same evening on a $1,050 bond, according to the Douglas County District Attorney's office.
Kappa Sigma was placed on suspension after allegations of sexual assault were reported on Sept. 28. There will be a formal hearing to discuss the status of the investigation and interim suspension on Monday, Nov. 24 at 1:30 p.m. in the Governors Room of the Kansas Union.

For Chinese international student Yuhan Ye, studying the Kansas landscape has been far different than he imagined. He recently visited to Juniper Hill Farms in Lawrence, where he had the chance to experience a tractor-pulled hay bale ride, hot apple cider and wide open spaces.
Ye's hometown, Changzhou,
is far different from Kansas. Lying in the east of China in the Jiangsu province, Changzhou is a mid-sized city about 115 miles from Shanghai, decorated with skyscrapers and nearer to the ocean.
"I think in my opinion before I come here I have the idea that it will be a bit boring here because it's far away from the big city and far away from the Los Angeles and New York, but I like the sense of farm and I like the sense of freedom," Ye said. "So I think it's great and it's nice here. I like here."
To buy a turkey.
Ye wasn't so sure about Lawrence until he arrived. He spoke with his high school advisor in China about university options abroad who helped him determine the University would be a good fit. His English proficiency score met KU requirements for admission, and Ye said his parents liked the idea of a small town in Kansas instead of a big American city. Now he said he is happy to be learning about Kansas firsthand.

KU counselors will report student sexual assault crimes if told
For students who are sexual assault victims and seek counseling on campus, they must know what they say will be reported to Institutional Opportunity and Access at the University, but counselors at the Emily Taylor Center for Women and Gender Equity must tell students beforehand that it will be reported.
Sarah Jane Russell, the CARE coordinator of the center, provides counseling for students of sexual assault and directs them to other resources in Lawrence. She is also considered a "mandated reporter," meaning the crimes she sees and hears must be reported to the IOA. This includes students who come talk to her about sexual assault.
All KU faculty and staff are considered mandated reporters of crime, except doctors and nurses at Watkins Health Center and psychologists at Counseling and Psychological Services because of patient privacy laws, said Kathy Rose-Mockry, director of the Emily Taylor Center.
Kelsie Jennings
"We can be a coordinating hub to help students navigate the system." Rose-Mockry said. "That's one thing that Sarah Jane can provide is to help a student who is going through the grievance process and to work with connecting a student with... our community partners."

KANSAN.COM
Mandated reporters are required to report to the IOA because of Title IX guidelines. But the staff at the center let students know what they say will be reported, and the students have the option of going to the GaDuGi SafeCenter or talking to a psychologist at CAPS, where their information will stay confidential. Students can be assured the center is not their only option, and faculty at the Center will help students connect with these services.
"We work together, campus to community, to make sure students have all those supports," Rose-Mockry said.

The students considered the choice of the Regents not to pursue the amendment a victory for student voice and engagement in these issues.
that the student voice should be prioritized," Admussen said.
Chairman of the Board of Regents, Kenny Wilk, said he agreed with the opinion of the student leadership and their reasons behind opposition.
"I do feel very passionate about this," Wilk said. "I think getting people to participate in the election process, the decision process, at whatever level it is, doing less of that is the wrong direction, we need more of that. If that's not part of what the higher education experience is all about, then I'm disappointed by that."
He said the students have taken this issue to him several times and he was impressed with the amount of action they had taken in the past month.
"I appreciate the effort the students have put into this, they have spoken to me," Wilk said. "I do want the board to know they've spoken to me a number of times. I encouraged them, you know, is this is an issue of concern to you, you need to engage your student bodies in it and you need to take some formal action, think about it and come back to this board and take a position, and they have."
Admussen said while this is a big step in the right direction, the Kansas State administration that originally proposed the amendment to KBOR, can still bring the amendment to the state legislature, just without the approval of the regents.
Wilk said referendums give students the opportunity to think ahead about future students, because many of the changes that they vote on with referendums won't be seen in their time at these universities.

"I think this kind of a policy has the opportunity to help our students think about the next generation," Wilk said.

Caitlin Ireland, a senior from Topeka said the smokers on campus cause her to have issues with her health.
"I have asthma and cigarette smoke is my biggest trigger, so going to class literally makes me sick." Ireland said.
Edited by Logan Schlossberg
Ireland also said she has to spend significantly more money during the school year, about $200 a month, because the cigarette smoke causes so many more problems with her health.
Some members of the University's community are working to further decrease health risks to jayhawks. Established in May of 2013, Tobacco Free KU is an initiative to eradicate smoking and other tobacco uses from the campus.
"Over 1,000 universities nationwide are tobaccofree. KU wishes to promote that same kind of respectful, healthy, clean and tobaccofree environment for its students, faculty, staff and visitors," said Ola Faucher, director of human resources and chair of the steering committee.
"I'm sure myself and other Jayhawks feel that KU is a leading institution, and I believe wed be considered a role model for other Kansas and Division 1 institutions," Hrabe said.
Faucher also said that the initiative is seeking input from students and the community, talking to student organizations, campus government groups, as well as coordinating with the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department.
One of the first steps of the Tobacco-Free Initiative was to establish B.E.A.K., a student organization that supports and works with the Tobacco-Free Initiative, said B.E.A.K. President Ashley Hrabe, a senior from Salina.
The Community Health
Planner at the Health Department, Charlie Bryan, is also a member of the steering committee. He said his role is to serve as a liaison between the community and the University.
Bryan said one of his concerns is how the proposed tobacco-free policy might affect the neighborhoods around the University.
+
"An example of a problem with a policy like this is that people might leave the campus, go across the street to a neighborhood, and smoke there," said Bryan.
His job is to help the University with possible solutions, like organizing a monthly cleanup or making that area part of the custodial staff's responsibility. "At the very least, the neighborhoods should be aware of the policy," he said.
The Health Department also looks at this policy in how it will benefit employees of the University, which, as Bryan said, is the largest employer in Douglas County. Employers have to spend more money in health expenses to hire and retain tobacco users, Bryan said, and many are looking at ways to reduce the number of their employees who smoke — and tobacco-free campuses are a way to do that.
"Anytime an employer expands its tobacco-free grounds, or takes a tobacco-free policy, it makes it easier for employees who smoke to quit," said Bryan.
Student participation is invaluable to the project, said Amy Smith, director of the policy office and a member of the leadership committee.
Students can learn more about the Tobacco Free KU initiative at tobaccofree. ku.edu. Students who are interested in quitting smoking, can contact Health Educator Kelsey Fortin at (785) 864-9573 or kelseyf123@ku.edu.

Student Senate continues sexual assault conversation

@MirandaDavisUDK
While National Campus Conversation Week, part of the "It's On Us" initiative, takes place on college campuses across the nation. Student Senate is continuing semester-long efforts to reform sexual assault on campus.
"It was encouraging to see the way our peer institutions have championed these conversations..."
MORGAN SAID Student body president
Morgan Said, student body president and a senior from Kansas City, Mo., said the University is not formally affiliated with the "It's On Us" campaign. She said those at the
University are working with the campus' specialized needs and concerns, which may not fit into the broad scope of the "It's On Us" campaign.
"I think this campaign is a great idea, and it's really raised a lot of awareness about the issue and surrounding issues, but KU has begun to handle this in the way that we best know how," Said said.
Said described the week as a way to get students talking about sexual assault at their universities — something that has been happening at the University all semester.
All of those committees and task forces will meet this week to discuss current climate and ongoing work to change the sexual assault culture at the University.
"It's a conversation highlighting sexual assault and preventative methods surrounding sexual assault on college campuses," Said said. "Universities across the nation are participating in this week in different capacities, dependent upon where their institution currently is in terms of climate and education about sexual
assault."
"We have all of these different people coming into the senate offices bouncing ideas, sharing their knowledge, providing input to each other, to make
Said said Student Senate has become a "central hub" for a lot of the groups and committees working to change policy and climate. Said is a part of the Greek Task Force; Miranda Wagner, student body vice president, is involved in the Title IX committee; and Angela Murphy, Senate's graduate affairs director, is the co-chair of the sexual assault task force. Senate also has a student safety advisory board every year, which has contributed to funding and the sexual assault conversation.
sure all of these different fragments of the conversation can align themselves with each other," Said said.
Said also said sexual assault was a huge part of last weekend's Big 12 senate conference in Ames, Iowa, which gave the student governments of each school the chance to share what its campuses are doing.
"It was encouraging to see the way our peer institutions have championed these conversations, just as our student body has begun to," Said said.
While the University isn't affiliated with the "It's On Us" campaign, students can go to the website, itsonus.org, and sign a pledge to create a safer environment on their campus.
The website includes videos and tips for what students can do to prevent sexual assaults on campus.

Men & Masculinities event looks at violence prevention

LANE COFAS
@OttoVeatch
The Emily Taylor Center for Women and Gender Equity is organizing the Men & Masculinities symposium, a dialogue about healthy masculinity, on Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. The event will be held in the Alderson Room in the Kansas Union. The event is open to anyone who is interested.
Kathy Rose-Mockry,
executive director at the Emily Taylor Center for Women and Gender Equity, said the event discusses issues related to violence prevention.
There will be conversations about the present issues the University faces and possible solutions. Rose-Mockry said the importance of masculinity will also be a topic of discussion, as well as what it means in the lives of men on campus and how it affects their success as students.
"There are issues we all face as an institution of higher learning, and we are charged with finding solutions to present problems and certainly men looking at ways to reduce the problems of violence in their communities," Rose-Mockry said. "Their voices are particularly important in not just how we prevent it, but stop it from beginning."
Rose-Mockry said in the past, men have found it really
helpful to discuss common concerns and get the opinions of others and to also grow in their understanding of some of the issues that were discussed.
Sign up will go until 9:30 a.m. on the morning of the event, but participants are encouraged to sign up as soon as possible.

Cracks have started forming in Rock Chalk Park, the new recreational compound in east Lawrence. The cracks have most prominently been found on concrete platforms overlooking the gymnasiums in the sports pavilion.
Rock Chalk Park cracks not an issue
Mark Hecker, assistant director of parks and recreation for the City of Lawrence, said lack of moisture caused the cracks.
"Any cracks that are in the floor are basically moisture cracks, where the concrete will actually crack when moisture is sucked out of it," Hecker said.
"Concrete cracks. That's the nature of it, but you want to make sure it's not a structural issue," Hecker said. "In most cases, you'll saw cut the concrete to try to control the cracks, but often times that doesn't work."
According to Hecker, the cracks are a cosmetic issue and not a structural issue.
Hecker also said saw cuts, which create joints in the concrete to prevent cracking, were not made in Rock Chalk

Park.
"The cracks aren't even an inconvenience, it's just a crack in a concrete floor." Hecker said.
Hecker said he believes the cracks are not an issue and does not affect visitors.
According to Hecker, Rock Chalk Park averages about 1.300 visitors a day. Due to a sports tournament this past weekend, the park averaged around 6,000 visitors per day. Rock Chalk Park is open to the public, including students, and is located on George Williams Way.
The facility opened on Oct. 5 this year. It cost approximately $24 million in city and donated funds to construct, according to lawrenceks.org.

OPINION-EDITORIAL:
RAPED, BUT NOT 'RAPED'
A KU senior shares her story of sexual assault and what happened after
P
Editor's note: The author of this letter has chosen to remain anonymous to protect her identity and the identities of those involved. The Kansan's policy is not to name victims of sex crimes.
The purpose of publishing this letter is to make public what survivors of sexual assault often struggle with after the incident. Victim-blaming is wrong, and reporting sexual assault can be beneficial, but for the author — and for many others — placing any blame and choosing whether or not to report are gray areas.
If you have been sexually assaulted and would like to file a report through KU, you can contact the Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access online at ioa.ku.edu/ file-complaint, or by phone at (785) 864-6414. Campus police can be reached at (785) 864-5900 or 911. GaDGi SafeCenter victim advocates can be reached by phone 24 hours a day at (785) 843- 8985. The Willow Domestic Violence Center help line is also available 24 hours a day at (785) 843-3333.
It happened to someone I know at a house party, to someone else at a fraternity formal, and to someone else after a first date. It happened to my guy friend when a girl threw herself on him at an overnight date party. It happened to my friend from high school when a boy she had a thing with got high with her and tried to teach her how to play the piano.
It happened to me on my friend's 21st birthday last year in October, when I had already had too much to drink, but I really, really liked him. Even though we don't like to admit it, it has probably happened to your classmate, your sorority sister, your cousin or you.
Someone had sex with us when we were drunk or high While we're not in a sound state of mind, our sexuality was exploited in a way we weren't comfortable with and without our expressed permission.
But people don't like calling what happens to us rape
They tell us we were drunk, we left our friends,and boys will be boys — what did we expect when we went home with him anyway?
All I can say is, I know. I don't know what I expected. I guess I thought that a boy wouldn't assume that me flirting with him automatically meant I was willing to have sex with him. I was wrong, though. Didn't my mother always say boys only wanted one thing? I wish I would have known better. I really should have known better. It wasn't his fault, it was mine. Or that's what I kept trying to tell myself.
People don't like calling what happens to us rape. People make jokes about it. Following popular culture's lead, even a few of my friends made jokes about it too. "Is it love?" they asked me, and "When's the wedding?" You're right, you're right. It's funny. I wanted to wait, could you believe it? Someone special, like I was a schoolgirl.
He even laughed about it. He laughed the next morning, when he came to my sorority to drop off my shoes, purse and pants, which I had left in his room as I was fleeing from him the night before. He laughed and patted me on the back and said, "How ya doing?" He laughed and rolled his eyes and said, "I was so drunk." He laughed.
Because even though I bled over the toilet bowl that morning, it didn't feel real. But instead I let a craggy laugh catch in my throat. If he was really "so drunk," then he probably didn't even realize what he was doing. So it wasn't really his fault. He shouldn't have to feel guilty. It was my fault. My fault. My fault.
He laughed. And I wanted to cry and ask, "Did we have sex?"
It's not anyone's fault, some of my friends said. People have sex all the time. It didn't have to be a big deal. I didn't want to make it a big deal, so I pretended like it wasn't.
But after a few months pretending like it wasn't a big deal — pretending that
"You're right," I want to say to her. It is blurry. In fact, it's more than blurry, it's completely blacked-out. I don't remember anything until I woke up to a rhythmic, violent pain jamming itself inside me. Square peg, round hole. "This isn't right. What is this?" I thought. Then I realized someone was having sex with me. I pushed him off of me. I ricocheted off the walls like a human pinball machine as I stumbled down the hallway trying to get away.
it didn't happen, or (eventually) pretending that it did happen and that I wanted it to — didn't make it not a big deal. It didn't stop me from having nightmares about him and waking up in tears. It didn't prevent me from developing anxiety about my sexuality to the point that a simple hand on my back was enough to send my heart racing in fear.
But people don't like calling what happened to me rape. When I told one of my friends, she squinted and said, "Ahh, it's such a blurry line, though."
I don't say "trying" because he was chasing me, I say "trying" because I couldn't walk — because I so drunk I couldn't even walk.
But I was drunk, so people don't like calling what happened to me rape. Even one of my best friends said to me, "Do you really consider what happened to you assault? I mean everyone makes bad decisions when they are drunk."
I couldn't have consented,
my friend learning piano
couldn't have consented,
my friend at the formal
couldn't have consented and
my guy friend couldn't have
consented, either — because
if someone is too drunk, they
cannot consent. It's rape. It
is rape.
I know. I know. You're right. Almost everyone says that you are right. But are you? Because having sex that night isn't something that I decided to do. In fact, I couldn't have consented even if I wanted to.
But I don't like calling it that.
ripping deep within me. I couldn't have consented. What happened to me should be rape. By any definition it is rape.
I was completely blacked out until I felt that painful
I don't like calling it rape because I wasn't attacked in a dark alley and no one held a knife to my throat. I don't like calling it rape because I'm terrified people will accuse me of being dramatic. I don't like calling it rape because everyone says the man who did it is such a nice guy and "he is just a really sexual person, so I bet he didn't even realize what he was doing."
I don't like calling it rape because I don't think the man who raped me thinks that he raped me. I don't think he would have done it if he knew he was raping me.
And if you don't consider what happened to me rape, let me put it this way: I don't think he would have had sex with me when I was so impaired, if he knew how much it was going to hurt me later.
Due partially to the lack of education at the University on this topic, many students don't realize that having sex with someone who is too drunk to give consent is rape
dramatize to give consent is But the fact that they don't think they are raping people doesn't make it not rape either.
It is not enough to teach women "how to not get raped"—to post flyers in our bathrooms and give us drug-detecting nail polish. Men need to be educated as well: to protect their female counterparts, but also to protect themselves.
Out of shame, uncertainty and fear, I didn't report what happened to me. But I could have, and sometimes I think I should have. Sometimes I fear that by not being brave enough to report, I have enabled this person to go on and possibly do what he did to me to other women. But other times I'm not so sure.
Other times I agree with people when they say that this "nice guy" doesn't deserve to have his life destroyed for making a stupid, drunken decision.
However, I don't think my life deserved to be destroyed either.
"Belief in a just world" is a psychological phenomenon in which people believe that others get what they deserve in life, and if people cannot help or compensate the victims of misfortune, they turn on them. So in situations like mine, people blame the victim. People blame me. I blame me.
And I wish I could stop blaming myself for what happened. I wish I didn't feel guilty for feeling angry at the boy who did it to me. On an intellectual level, I know that victim-blaming is wrong, but on an emotional level, it doesn't seem so black and white to me.
I'm not sure if there is such a thing as a perpetrator-less crime, if the boy who did it to me was as drunk as he said he was, or if I should even be questioning whether or not I should blame him. Are we like two drunk drivers who got in a car crash? Do I have Stockholm Syndrome?
I don't know. I don't know if I'm a victim. I don't know if I should have reported it. I don't know if this "counts" as rape. I don't know. I wish I did.
Pretending this type of thing doesn't happen won't make it not happen anymore. Fortunately, the KU students, administration and extended community are finally talking about these issues that have been ignored and hushed for decades. We are in a powerful position to change the way that sexual assault is perceived on college campuses. And even though publishing this is terrifying, if people like me don't speak up, who will?
I do know, however, that situations like mine have happened to too many people I know and it shouldn't be happening to anyone.
I know that sexual assault awareness and education is not a perfect solution. It won't eradicate sexual assault, but I think it might prevent assault that stems from ignorance.
I think it might have prevented what happened to me.

HALF OF THE STORY
'Mockingjay' emotionally engages but suffers from being split in two
By Alex Lamb
@Lambcannon
FREEMAN'S WEEKEND AT THE FORT
The games are over in "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 1," and the revolution has begun — but it's decidedly less fun to watch. This installment reaches a deeper level of emotional engagement than the previous two "Hunger Games" films and effectively shows the loss, pain and struggle felt by the characters in the revolution against the Capitol. But without the satirical element of high society theatrics and the thrilling excitement of the Games, this entry in the series is the least entertaining.
I am not a child. I am not a child.
There's a legitimate question as to whether the final book really warranted two movies; most of this film seems as if it could have been condensed. More importantly, it doesn't come across as a complete film that can stand on its own; it doesnt work without knowledge of the rest of the series and only feels like the lead-in to the finale. "Mockingjay — Part 1" moves at the slower pace of a novel and most of the movie is centered around drama rather than action. Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) grapples with heavy emotions throughout this half of the story, while the majority of the revolutionary fighting will take place in next year's Part 2.
and Plutarch Heavensbee (Philip Seymour Hoffman) convince Katniss to become the face of the revolution in propaganda videos showing the destruction that President Snow (Donald Sutherland) has wrought. Meanwhile, Katniss' captured loverboy Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) has become the Capitol's mouthpiece against the revolution.
Following the explosive conclusion of the last Hunger Games, Katniss recovers from her traumatic experiences while the other important revolutionary players plan their moves against the Capitol from the totalitarian, underground and secretly operating District 13. The leader of District 13, President Coin (Julianne Moore),
There is strong resonance in seeing Katniss walk through familiar locations in her home district, now completely razed to the ground. This entry brings home the oppression and devastation caused by the Capitol, and also shows the suffering and weaknesses of Katniss, which turns her into a more vulnerable and three-dimensional heroine. However, at the same time, she's also much more passive here, only having the opportunity to show her heroic chops in one action sequence.
Katniss' boyfriend Gale (Liam Hemsworth) finally gets to step into a more prominent role as a valuable revolutionary figure, and is one of the operatives on a somewhat suspenseful mission at the end, although he's still a pretty uninteresting character. The action sequences have a larger scale in this film. One scene of revolutionaries fighting Peacekeepers in the woods comes off as pretty silly, while a more impressive one later in the film at a protected dam shows the revolutionaries striking a damaging blow. And when the Capitol attacks District 13, the scene where the citizens rush to shelter and wait out the bombings reverberates with tension, calling to mind Germany's WWII blitzkrieg on British cities.
The propaganda pieces are one of the most enjoyable aspects of "Mockingja — Part 1." They partially fill in for the missing commentary on cultural excessiveness and the
manipulation of the public through emotional narratives that's prominent in the first two films. This film captures the behind-the-scenes creation of these propaganda pieces with witty self-awareness and shows how even the revolutionaries must harness emotional manipulation for their cause. Natalie Dormer from "Game of Thrones" plays the director of these videos, subtly capturing the detached nature of filming tragedy for emotional impact.
Lawrence expresses her widest variety of emotions as Katniss yet in this installment. Underneath the tough face of revolutionary hope, Lawrence reveals a fragile and damaged young woman whose real feelings for Peeta are beginning to take hold. Though she has a lot more to worry about than to actually do, she still carries viewers on her shoulders through the film, heavily invested in her turmoil. Hutcherson has a smaller part than before but his tortured emotions and increasingly sickly appearance take hold in a strong way.
LIONSGATE
The first two "Hunger Games" films strike a fantastic balance between over-the-top
flair in fun satire and more serious danger, action and political conflict."Mockingiaj
Part 1" loses most of the lightheartedness, as well as some of the action's tight construction and pacing. Instead, it favors a more emotional effect, drawing on weightiness and depth in story and character. It's a far less satisfying experience for taking its time before the main revolutionary action, and while the final chapter will likely be greater as a result of the extensive build-up, this one is worse for it.

Entrepreneurship event encourages creativity
LAUREN METZLER
@MetzlerLauren
This Friday, in honor of Global Entrepreneurship week, the Center for Entrepreneurship is putting on an event that will allow students of all majors to unleash their creativity and unlock their entrepreneurial mindset.
The daylong event, called "Creativity and the Entrepreneurial Mindset," will be at the Lied Center. Cindy Maude, a University alumna and chief executive officer of Callahan Creek, a local advertising agency, will be the keynote speaker.
There will also be a panel discussion on creativity and a creativity fair where guests can get their hands dirty with activities such as painting and cupcake decorating. This is also an opportunity for networking among students, entrepreneurs, faculty and other guests.
Tritch has been planning this event, with the help of other faculty members in the entrepreneurship department, since last summer and around 220 people have already RSVP'd. Tritch is excited about the response they have received.
this is the event's eighth year, and this year's topic is creativity because it is applicable to many different fields, especially entrepreneurship.
"In my mind, creativity is about solving problems and solving problems in a way that adds value and I think that's a really important part of any field," said Charlotte Tritch, associate director of entrepreneurship programs.
"I think it's a low-risk opportunity to see what [entrepreneurship] is about," Tritch said. In addition to this event, the Center for Entrepreneurship offers courses in entrepreneurship, certifications in entrepreneurship for business and non-business students and as a business plan competition held in December and May.
CHARLOTTE TRITCH
Associate Director of
Entrepreneurship Programs
Another form of entrepreneurship in action on campus is the Entrepreneurship Club, or E-Club, a student-run organization that Tritch is the faculty sponsor of. Devon Bull, a senior from Wichita and project accelerator and former president of the E-Club, said the E-Club has a three-pronged approach to their proceedings.
The first part of the triad is inviting professionals from both up-and-coming and big-ticket companies alike to speak at meetings. The second part is encouraging members to attend local network events along with the third part, collaborating with companies on projects to gain real world experience.
["We do] anything we think we can handle in a few hours a week that would make an impact and really teach us something" Bull said. "I don't want to be doing someone's dirty work"
Last fall, the E-Club worked with Gossup, a social media
Currently the club is working with a social media company called Spayce, which launches in December. When Bull contacted the company last spring, the CEO responded in 10 minutes saying that they wanted to work together. Bull said.
company similar to Yik Yak. They tried to help launch the site at Kansas and in one month, they got around 500 students to download the app, Bull said.
"When I tell employers what we do, I've never failed to get a job offer." Bull said.
Tritch said entrepreneurship is a mindset and no matter what your area of study is, there is something for you in entrepreneurship and in the event on Friday.
"I think that entrepreneurs come from any and all disciplines" Tritch said.

Q&A with Shaggy: 'It Wasn't Me'singer comes to Lawrence
AARON GROENE
@WatchTheGroan
Shaggy kicked off the month-long American leg of his "Out of Many, One Music World Tour" earlier this month, which includes a stop in Lawrence. Known for his album "Hot Shot," released in 2000, which went six times platinum, the Jamaican is now touring with his newest album, "Sly and Robbie Present: Shaggy Out of Many, One Music," that was released earlier this year.
Shaggy will perform at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St., on Sunday. The show begins at 8 p.m. and doors open at 7 p.m. Tickets can be purchased in advance for $20 or the day of for $25.
The Kansan's Aaron Groene caught up with Shaggy and talked concerts, his voice and his time on top of the charts.
SHADEY. I've always been into music. As a child, obviously I'm from Jamaica, and Jamaica is a very musical place. The culture of reggae is a strong culture, so I always loved music; it's always been a part of my life. I just never took it really serious until I came to the states.
KANSAN: When did you first get into music?
KANSAN: When did you start performing?
I am very happy to be a part of this team. I believe in the power of music and community. I am proud to contribute to this organization and believe in making a positive impact on people's lives.
SHABBY: I started performing before I got into the military, and then continued during and after the military. When I left the military is when I started to get hit records. That just led to me getting a signed deal from Virgin Records.
SHADGY My accent is really from Jamaica. I was born and raised in Jamaica but when I was
KANSAN: You have a very distinct voice. Could you talk about your accent?
in the military, I used to run and do cadences, you do these big long runs, these four-mile runs. I was very good at making up rhymes or cadences. By the time you're running for that amount of time and shouting, it's really developing the strength of your vocal cords. So after a while, you find yourself singing from your stomach instead of from your throat, so that really expanded on the strength.
The Kansan interviewed Shaggy, best known for his hit single "it Wasn't Me." Shaggy will perform at the Granada on Sunday.
KANSAN: Who would you say are your biggest influences? SHADDY: People like Super Cat and Toots & the Maytals, the huge artists in Jamaica.
KANSAN: Could you talk about what life was like after Hot Shot became a huge success?
SHADRY. You can't really imagine a ride like that; this record didn't just sell 10 million records. They're monster records. You're riding at the highest of high. I think that year we were the biggest selling record of that year, in any genre. As you can imagine, we are going to all of the award shows, we are cleaning up as far as every award show and every country. It was really like a blur. There wasn't much time to do anything else.
KANSAN: How do you expect this tour to differ from other tours?
KANSAN: Do prefer smaller venues or the larger ones?
SHAGGY I wanted to start small, do very small venues and get up close and personal with all the fans that have supported us over the years. The biggest thing is most people don't see us with a live band, and we are very, very good with it because we have been doing that for years. Going to small venues and making it up close and personal is what we are looking forward to.
SHAGGY. It varies, I've done both. You can get a stage and fill it with people whose energy is just down. It could be a situation where there is a stadium full of people, and by the time of the show you got to be working extra hard because they have been there all day, they're all tired and worn down. It depends on the vibe. I like the rural cities a little bit more, more so than the big cities, because the smaller cities don't get as much entertainment, so when they see you they go off.
KANSAN: What can fans expect to hear at your concert?
SHARRY Definitely a mix. Since we have been out of the pop scene, we have been doing a lot of reggae and dance. We have had a lot of major success with Church Heath and Bonafide Girl and You Girl featuring Ne-Yo, which is up for a Soul Train award.

KU Hilarity for Charity will be hosting its first Hilarity for Charity Variety Show tonight at 7 p.m. The event will be held at Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts St. Local musicians and bands including She's a Keeper, Middle Twin, Pink Royal and Brian Lockwood will be playing at the event. There are also three comedians from Harpoon Presents lined up to perform. Tickets are $5, and all proceeds from the event will go toward the Alzheimer's Association.
Hilarity for Charity was originally an organization started by actor Seth Rogen and his wife in 2011 with the goal of increasing awareness and inspiring change in the way people treat Alzheimer's disease. Rogen himself often throws big variety shows and galas with his friends, like Paul Rudd. Their third show, held about a month ago, raised almost $1 million for the Alzheimer's Association.

City commission to discuss appointing LGBT liaison
The Lawrence Human Relations Commission will discuss appointing an LGBT liaison to the city commission and police force Thursday in light of the Municipal Equality Index (MEI) released last Wednesday by the Human Rights Campaign, said Megan Gilliland, communications manager for the City of Lawrence.
Lawrence scored a 72 out of 100 on the annual report, up 17 points from the score of 55 Lawrence received in 2013. Out of the six cities
scored in the state. Lawrence scored the highest. Lawrence's score received a significant boost from the legalization of same-sex marriage in the state of Kansas last Wednesday, according to the report.
According to the Human Rights Campaign's website, the index "demonstrates the ways that many cities can — and do — support LGBT people who live and work there, even where states and the federal government have failed to do so."
Lawrence lost the most points due to the town's lack of an LGBT liaison or task force to the police and city
commission. Gilliland says while Lawrence doesn't have an officially appointed LGBT liaison, any issues that affect the LGBT community are still regularly addressed.
"It's in the form of that Human Relations Commission because they make recommendations to the city commission on all kinds of issues," Gilliland said. "So that is our way of having a liaison to the city commission and the executive branch."
The Human Relations Commission's job, according to Gilliland, is to uphold chapter 10 of the Lawrence City Code. Chapter 10 covers
human relations, which includes gender identity and discrimination.
"Sometimes task forces are pulled together because there is a problem and there is a lot to discuss."
SGT. TRENT MCKINLEY Lawrence Police Department
Out of all the cities surveyed, 71 percent of them, including Lawrence, lacked a liaison or task force to the city police department.
Sgt. Trent McKinley, the media spokesman for the Lawrence Police Department, said any LGBT issues would be dealt with at the city level, and any complaints of an officer would be dealt with internally by the Office of Professional Accountability.
McKinley said the fact that Lawrence does not have LGBT liaison or task forces could be a sign they are not needed.
"Sometimes task forces are pulled together because there is a problem and there is a lot to discuss," McKinley said. "At least in the police department I don't hear of any issues, I'm
just not aware of that being brought to our attention."
Topeka followed Lawrence with the next-highest score in Kansas with an overall score of 43 out of 100. Wichita scored 38, Olathe and Overland Park both scored a 37. Kansas City, Kan., scored a 24, whereas Kansas City, Mo. was one of 25 cities to receive a perfect score of 100. Overall the state's average score was 38.5, 20.5 points below the national average.

about the disease, and that he had mentioned Hilarity for Charity U. a movement to raise awareness among universities. Ashley said he had an "aha moment" and realized HFCU would be a good fit for Kansas, and he could be the one to start it.
This is the University's first big fundraiser for HFC, and Ashley and his executive board of seven spent the summer planning.
"As soon as school started, we hit the ground running." Ashley said. "I plan to have this [event] every year after I graduate in December, so this is our first annual HFC variety show."
Ashley said Seth Rogen has agreed to come with a friend to hold a meet-and-greet at the university that raises the most money. Ashley said that is an additional incentive and motive for raising money for the association.
The club has also been marketing to different student groups, including fraternities and sororites, in addition to different student clubs and organizations on campus, like the School of Engineering. Ashley said its primary fundraising effort with student groups is a competition among all of the groups to see who can raise the most money for HFC.
Whoever raises the most money will be awarded the HFC traveling trophy, which will go from group to group over the next couple years, Ashley said. He said if Kansas raises the most money and Seth Rogen does ends up visiting, he will offer the meet-and-greet to the
student organization that raised the most funds.
Caitlin Luyemura, a senior from Osage City and the fundraising director for KU HFC, said she joined the organization soon after Ashley told her about starting it up.
"I was already interested in neurodegenerative diseases, but Jordan's the main reason that got me on board," Uyemura said.
She said she was in charge of events for raising funds for HFC and helped with media and sponsorship for the organization, as well as for the event this week.
"I got involved because my grandmother suffers from dementia, and finding a cure for Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia is what drove me."
VICTOR ZAHAROPOULOS Senior from Lenexa
Uyemura said she's really excited to see the turnout, but the hardest part was talking to people and getting the organization's name out there.
"Other [well known] events, most people know what they are when they hear the name," she said. "We're hoping Hilarity for Charity will be like that soon."
Victor Zaharopoulos, a senior from Lenexa and the director of operations for KU HFC, said being a new organization has been the greatest challenge.
"Not having that structure or example to follow has been
Zaharopoulos said he became involved because he knew Ashley for a long time and knew it was a worthwhile cause.
the most challenging aspect, but has also given us a lot of freedom to explore different ideas and to explore what other groups aren't willing to do," Zaharopoulos said.
Ashley said aside from hoping for a successful first HFC Variety Show in Lawrence, the club is striving to become more well-known.
"Our main challenge is to just prove ourselves, and I think we'll do that after our show this year," Ashley said. "Our message is to do a lot of fun things to support something serious, and we are able to go that direction."
"I got involved because my grandmother suffers from dementia, and finding a cure for Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia is what drove me," Zaharopoulos said.
Ashley said this is the last event for KU HFC for the semester, and the club will be focusing on new leadership to replace current positions and help the new group set up a great fundraiser for next year. He said he hopes the group gains traction and gets more people excited to help out with the Alzheimer's Association.
"Everyone is donating their time because they believe in the cause, or know somebody with Alzheimer's, and everyone who donated feels connected to the event," Zaharopoulos said. "I think it will be a very fun, and very powerful night."

Montana marriage ban overturned; licenses granted
Associated Press
LISA BAUMANN
HELENA, Mont. — A federal judge on Wednesday overturned the state gay marriage ban in Montana, one of the last states to continue defending its ban despite rulings in favor of same-sex marriage from appeals courts that overseen them.
ACLU
AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION
OF MONTANA
At least two counties Missoula and Park started issuing marriage licenses to gay couples soon after, while court clerks elsewhere in the state geared up to do so Thursday.
U. S. District Judge Brian Morris ruled Montana's constitutional amendment limiting marriage to a man and a woman violates the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause.
"This Court recognizes that not everyone will celebrate this outcome," Morris wrote. "This decision overturns a Montana Constitutional amendment approved by the voters of Montana. Yet the United States Constitution exists to protect disfavored minorities from the will of the majority."
Park County issued its first same-sex marriage license hours after the ruling. The couple plans to return to the county courthouse Thursday to be married by state district judge, Clerk of Court June Little said.
Montana's Republican attorney general, Tim Fox, vowed to appeal but said he wouldn't ask the state to block marriages in the meantime.
"It is the attorney general's sworn duty to uphold and defend Montana's constitution until such time as there is no further review or no appeal can be made in a court of law," Fox said in an email to The Associated Press.
At least one other gay couple got a license in Missoula County, Clerk of Court Shirley Faust said.
In Montana's most populous county, Yellowstone, the clerk of district court said she expects her office to start issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples Thursday morning.
Sue Hawthorne smiles during a news conference announcing the ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Brian Morris calling Montana's gay marriage ban unconstitutional on Wednesday in Helena, Mont. Hawthorne and her partner Adel Johnson are plaintiffs in the case and were married earlier this year in Washington state.
"We're ready to go," Kristie Lee Boelter said. "For my office, nothing will be different than any other day."
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in September that Idaho and Nevada's bans are unconstitutional. Montana is part of the 9th Circuit, and Morris cited the appeals court's opinion in his ruling.
"The time has come for Montana to follow all the other states within the Ninth Circuit and recognize that laws that ban same-sex marriage violate the constitutional right of same-sex couples to equal protection of the laws," he wrote.
"Calling Tonya my partner, my significant other, my girlfriend, my perpetual fiancée has never done justice to our relationship." Angie Rolando said. "Love won today."
Also Thursday, the ACLU plans celebrations at county courthouses in Billings, Bozeman, Butte, Great Falls, Helena and Missoula. The group will have officiants there for couples who wish to marry immediately, ACLU spokeswoman Amy Cannata said.
Four same-sex couples filed a lawsuit in May challenging Montana's ban. The plaintiffs included Angie and Tonya Rolando.
The couple said they plan obtain a wedding license as soon as their courthouse opens Thursday.
"It's a perfect clear day in Bozeman and an amazing day overall. This is awesome," he said.
Another plaintiff, Chase Weinhandl, said he couldn't be happier about the ruling.
Montana and two other states, Kansas and South Carolina, continued their
legal fight against same-sex marriage despite rulings from federal appeals courts that oversee them that concluded gay and lesbian couples have the right to wed.
In South Carolina, a judge issued the first gay marriage licenses and a couple was wed Wednesday, even as the state attorney general asked the U.S. Supreme Court to step in and block the unions.
Republican Rep. Steve Daines was the sole member of the state's congressional delegation to express disappointment in the ruling, saying an "unselected federal judge" had ignored Montanans' wishes.
Before Wednesday, samexex couples could marry in 32 states, parts of Kansas and Missouri, and the District of Columbia.
Montana Gov. Steve Bullock said in a statement he has instructed his administration to quickly take the appropriate steps to ensure legally married same-sex couples are recognized and afforded the same rights and responsibilities that married Montanans enjoy.
Voters in the state in 2004 approved a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. Such bans have fallen around the country since the Supreme Court last year struck down part of the federal Defense of Marriage Act.
"I strongly believe in marriage as the union of one man and one woman and will continue working to defend the family," Daines said in a statement.

of field trips for international students involved in the University's new Academic Accelerator Program (KUAAP), which started this semester.
The program is a 12-month course for international students looking to earn a degree at the University and become proficient in speaking English. Of 57 international students who arrived for the program, 30 tested into the KUAAP and the rest into a pre-academic accelerator program. For three semesters, the 30 students will study English with the University's Applied English Center, learn the geography and history of Lawrence and Kansas and take general courses. After the first year, these students will join mainstream classes at the University with their fellow undergraduates. The one semester pre-AAP consists of the other 27 students and focuses on more intensive English studies.

Ye, who wants to study geography at the University, said he struggled most with vocabulary and grammar at the beginning of the program, but tries to work on it every day.
"I usually make many mistakes of my grammar, but I still improve it," Ye said. "I am improving it by myself and my professors' help. They are really nice to me."
Binh Tieu Bui, a student in the program from Ho Chi Minh City (formerly named Saigon) in south Vietnam, is also trying to improve her English through immersion at the University.
"I think the small things we need to change is in my class there are many Chinese but we seldom use English to communicate with each other so it will be the negative for us to improve our English ability," Ye said. "So usually I try my
"I want to find a state that does not have many Vietnamese students because I want to improve my English," Bui said. "So if the state is a place that has too many, I can't improve my English. You come here to study English, not study your language."
Bui hopes to study architecture engineering. She said she expects to spend a lot of time studying here to get a good job.
"If you study in Vietnam and after that you get the certificate (degree), the salary when you go to a company is lower than if you have a certificate from another country," Bui said. "If you know more than one language, you have more opportunity to get a job. You can work for an international company."
Antha Cotten-Spreckelmeyer is the interim director of the program, and also teaches a course about Kansas history that the students in the program take.
"After that first week and after students really got adjusted to their classes, I started to see a huge amount of progress, just in their spoken English and reading aloud in class," Spreckelmeyer said. "I would say about 2 to 3 weeks in I was just really kind of amazed with the progress the students had made in their ability to communicate and to speak more clearly."
Sara Rosen, vice provost of academic affairs, expects to grow the academic accelerator program by recruiting more international students. Currently, about 8 percent of the student body is comprised of students from other
"We think for a major AAU (Association of American Universities) research university, we would probably like to be around 15-16 percent international," Rosen said. We've been looking at how we can do a better job of recruiting international students, but also how we can bring international students in and set them up for success."
countries.
Rosen said the University met its goal of recruiting between 50 and 60 students for the KUAAP despite entering the recruitment season late. With a full year of recruiting ahead for the University's new partner, Shorelight Education, the target number for the program next year is 225. The program expects to easily meet this goal, Rosen said.
Earlier this year, the University partnered with
Shorelight has about 125 recruiting staff in 40-50 countries around the world, said Dominic Berardi. director of marketing and enrollment services and regional director of south and southeast Asia for Shorelight.
Shorelight to jump start the new program and start recruiting students across the world. The private Cambridge, Mass., based company was founded two years ago.
Berardi said Shorelight has two types of recruiters including 25 regional staff to answer questions about KU and admissions for prospective students. They are paid by a salary. About 100 others are contract employees paid to locate students interested in studying abroad.
"They are locally living in a community and they typically generate leads," Berardi said.
Contracted recruiters earn their commission only when a student successfully enrolls at KU and stays in the program for the first 6-8 weeks.The commission is a flat rate of 15 percent of the tuition and fees paid by the students for their first year at KU.
"That recruiter is primarily compensated by a commission."
International recruitment is similar to domestic recruitment, Berardi said. Recruiters will still go to high schools, college fairs and be active on social media to find interested students.
John Ye, however, was not recruited by Shorelight. He is the only student to join the AAP who was not recruited.
"At the beginning, they tell me you are a special one because I am the only person that changed decision when I got the offer," Ye said. "I was

"The first time I watched the basketball game, an NCAA game, was in 2008 when we won the champion of the NCAA," Ye said. He said he learned about Jayhawk basketball from Chinese basketball magazines that covered the team.
Ye said he learned about KU primarily through the success of the basketball team.
While the students in this year's first academic accelerator program are studying to improve their English and earn a degree from the university, slowly but surely they are becoming Jayhawks, too.

GOLF
HOME AWAY FROM HOME
Clinching a first-place finish at a home golf tournament in early September, sophomore Pornvipa Sakdee (Faii) looks over to her fellow teammates with a smile on her face.
Among the faces cheering her on are freshman Pitsinee Winyarat (Lizzie) and junior Yupapor Kawinpakorn (Mook). Years of dedication to their sport inspired the three golfers to move from Thailand to the University of Kansas — roughly 9,000 miles away — to follow their dreams of playing collegiate golf.
From left, Yupaporn Kawinpakorn, Pornvipa Sakdee and Pitsinee Winyarat are three players on the KU women's golf team from Thailand. All three girls chose to come to Kansas on a former Jayhawk golfer's recommendation.
Coach Erin O'Neil prides herself on ensuring each golfer receives athletic, academic and personal encouragement to be successful.
We have a psychologist, a nutritionist... we do team dinners or on the road if we have time, we'll try to do fun things unique to the area," O'Neil said. "When you do that, it helps you come together even more. We try to foster that team bonding at the beginning of the semester just to help with communication. They help create it just as much as we do."
FROM THE TROPICS TO THE PLAINS
Through traveling, learning a new culture and leaving their blood families behind, Mook, Faii and Lizzie have discovered a new family at Kansas, not only among each other, but with their entire team. Playing together has created a bond that only teammates can have, but their distance from home has allowed the three golfers to create a family and support system.
"We help each other out a lot. They helped a lot with cultural things like 'this is not appropriate to say' and more cultural differences," Mook said. "And on a team you should do this, pay attention to this, talk to this-guy who will help you in school or golf."
When her father instructed her to pick up a hobby, Fail's first choice was not golf. However, her father enrolled her in golf lessons, and it soon became apparent she had a natural talent for the sport. Her instructor immediately
After years of encouragement from her mother, Faii decided to leave the international tournament circuit and pursue a college degree.
"It was my' mother's dream to have me come to the U.S. to study and play golf." Faii said.
noticed her talent for golf, and she soon began to compete in tournaments.
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
Mook shares a similar experience with Faii. Her dad thought it would be useful for her to start playing a sport, and he chose golf after he played for many years. Mook started playing at the age of 10 and has been on the Thailand national team twice.
ERIN O'NEIL Women's golf coach
"We try to be there for the girls in all situations because they are here on their own and we are their second family."
"She said it was a good school and that they have a great athletic department and good academic school," Mook said. "Then I said I'll send my resume and see what coach is going to say."
Lizzie got her start with golf very differently than Faii. After watching her dad play on courses at the age of 7, Lizzie told her dad she wanted to try playing. However, her dad was afraid of her getting hit with a ball at such a young age, so a lot of convincing was needed. But once she started, Lizzie loved the game and went on to play for the Bangkok international team.
When considering colleges to attend, each of the girls had the same reason for choosing Kansas.
WHY KANSAS?
Former Jayhawk golfer Thanuttra Boonraksasat, who golfed at Kansas for five years, developed relationships with all three golfers.
Boonraksasat found her way to Kansas through a player who mutually knew O'Neil and Boonraksasat. Soon after, Mook followed suit and chose Kansas based on Boonraksasat's recommendation.
Through Mook, Faii also
decided on Kansas after previously golfing with both players. Lastly, Lizzie graduated a year early from her International School and began looking at schools immediately after.
"KU is very quiet and peaceful." Lizzie said. "And the weather is kind of nice to have all three seasons. At first I wanted to go to California, but that was boring so I came here to try a new experience."
INTERNATIONAL EXCELLENCE While they acknowledge golf in Thailand is not a popular sport, each golfer has excelled while playing overseas.
Lizzie attended the Bromsgrove International School in Bangkok, a school that only allowed her to speak and study in English. She competed on the Thailand Ladies National Team in 2012, won a gold medal for the Bangkok Team at the 34th Phrae Student National Games and won a gold medal for the Bangkok Team at 29th Maha Srakham Junior National Games.
Mook competed for the Thai National Team. She won a gold medal in 2007 at the Sea Games and a silver medal in 2009. She also won the Thailand Amateur Ladies Open and Thailand Amateur Stroke Play individual titles in 2010.
In 2011, Faii finished in the top-five at the Malaysian Ladies Amateur. She ascended to No.37 in the world after winning honors at the TOYA Polish Junior Golf Championship in July 2012.
O'Neil said that each golfer's previous success has prepared them for the college game.
"We'll look at their scores before they come here," O'Neil said. "Most of them have played on the Thailand International team. They're all good players."
this season, Mook has finished second at both the Ron Moore Women's Intercollegiate and the Palmetto Intercollegiate tournaments with scores of 215 and 213, respectively. She also tied for 10th at the Lady Paladin Invitational. She has competed in five events and finished with a team-best of 1,097 strokes.

season. She has competed in five events with a total of 1,112 strokes, ranking third on the team.
Lizzie has competed in both the Marilynn Smith Sunflower Invitational and the Ron Moore Women's Intercollegiate where she placed 47th and 54th place, respectively. She totaled 481 strokes at her two events.
CHANGING CULTURES
Adapting to a new culture has proven to be the biggest challenge for each of the golfers. However; they are quickly learning the cultural norms and knocking down language
Lizzie attributes her success in blending cultures to the support of her teammates and coaches, and the family atmosphere they provide.
"I think some of them, especially Mook, you'd think is from here. She totally fits right in. They really do adjust so fast considering if I went there, I wouldn't adjust as quickly as them," senior teammate Gabriella DiMarco said. "You'd think they'd never get ephephisms and sarcasm, then all of a sudden they use it back at you."

Kansas takes confidence in offense to Oklahoma
STELLA LIANG
@steny_nang
While Oklahoma's season has been slowly fading, by Sooner standards at least, Kansas' season has been on an uptick, starting with the offense.
When these two teams meet on Saturday in Norman, Okla., the Jayhawks are confident they can continue their recent string of improved showings.
"Tremendous challenge for us, a game we look forward to, a chance for our team to go down and play in a great college football environment," interim coach Clint Bowen said. "We're looking forward to the opportunity."
When the season started, the consensus was the defense was the strength of the team, and the offense was the wildcard. Lately, both sides have started coming together. The last two games, the team has scored at least 30 points.
Junior quarterback Michael Cummings said having the ability to score more points has helped all facets of the game.
"That helps confidence on the offense," Cummings said. "It probably helps confidence throughout the whole team, that we've come to a point where we can put up points consistently. Relying on the defense to hold people to 10 points, you're not going to win many games in the Big 12."
The increase in scoring has
provided benefits not just within a game, but from game to game. Instead of wondering if the points will come, the team has built upon its improvements.
"It's helped us ride momentum week to week," Cummings said.
Senior tight end Jimmay
"We're playing better, less hurting ourselves, where we're not costing ourselves as much as we were."
JIMMAY MUNDINE Senior tight end
Mundine and junior wide receiver Nigel King have emerged as go-to players for Cummings to throw to. They each had a touchdown and over 100 receiving yards against TCU last Saturday.
Cummings said a different mentality has brought about the changes. Players are allowed more freedom and to take chances.
"The different feel that we have when we're out there on the field," Cummings said. "I think it's one where we're just not afraid to make mistakes. I mean we don't make many, but having that freedom and confidence, it allows you to play at a higher level."
Mundine simply attributes
the success to "guys just coming together" and making the most of opportunities
"I truly believe it's the same thing, opportunities," Mundine said. "You get a few and you make a couple plays, and you see maybe you have something there that you want to use more... The thing with me, Nigel and Mike, is that we continue to make plays and keep drives going and keeping guys pumped up"
This week's opponent, Oklahoma, was once the top team in the Big 12. However, after losses to TCU, Kansas State and Baylor, the Sooners have dropped to the middle of the pack. Last week, they struggled against Texas Tech, needing a second-half comeback to defeat the Red Raiders.
Oklahoma will start freshman Cody Thomas at quarterback for the injured Trevor Knight. Thomas made his first career start against Texas Tech.
The Sooners are looking for their 10th straight victory over the Jayhawks, and Kansas has not won in Norman since 1997.
But the team, starting with the offense, is ready for its next challenge.
"We're playing better, less hurting ourselves, where we're not costing ourselves as much as we were," Mundine said.

DAN HARMSEN
@udk_dan
KANSAN: In his 16th season at Oklahoma, Bob Stoops is the second most winningest active head coach in college football (.799) and has a sterling 89-7 record at home. This year's team is strong again, 7-3 and 4-3 in the Big 12, and to this day, Stoops has yet to lose to Kansas, outscoring the Jayhawks by an average margin of 38.3-14.0. However, heading into 2014, many thought Oklahoma was a National Championship contender and Kansas was without a prayer. That hype lasted until about October, when the Sooners dropped two of their three games. What is the general feel in Norman on the state of OU football?
JASON: Fans don't feel great about OU football right now, which may sound crazy to people who follow a program like Kansas. Sooner fans definitely have a tendency to get spoiled. Having said that, there is no question that the program has dipped a bit since appearing in the 2008 National Championship game. Since that season, the Sooners have only won one outright Big 12 title (personally, I don't think the 2012 "co-championship" with K-State should count). The Sugar Bowl stunner over Alabama seemed to change everything, but so far this season, OU obviously hasn't lived up to that standard.
KANSAN: Historically speaking, Oklahoma is the highest-scoring team in college football. This year, the team is averaging 38.8 points per game, but what is Kansas looking at with freshman Cody Thomas filling in at quarterback?
JASON: Thomas was seen as a more pro-style quarterback than Trevor Knight, but last weekend at Texas Tech, Thomas looked really good running the ball. In fact, he actually looked better in many ways running the ball than Knight, just because of his instincts. Thomas also has a very good arm, despite the three interceptions he threw in Lubbock. I don't think people should read too much into that, though. It was his first career start in a hostile environment and on a windy day. He'll only get better from there.
KANSAN: I know the Sooners always have receiving threats, so who are some players we should beware of?
JASON: The only really, really serious receiving threat
the Sooners have had this year is Sterling Shepard, who has been nothing short of phenomenal when he's been healthy. However, he's missed the majority of the last three games with a nagging groin injury. Junior Durron Neal and freshman Michiah Quick and K.J. Young have all been solid at different points this season.
KANSAN: How crucial has freshman running back Samaje Perine been in keeping the wheels on the Sooner Schooner from falling off in light of quarterback Trevor Knight's neck injury?
JASON: Taking the whole season into considération, Perine has been the best player on this team. He's the first 1,000-yard rusher for OU since DeMarco Murray in 2010, and only the fifth OU freshman to reach 1,000 rushing yards in a season ever. If Perine hadn't been able to take over in the second half last weekend at Texas Tech, Oklahoma could definitely have lost its fourth game of the season.
KANSAN: In nonconference play, Oklahoma allowed just 11 points per game on defense, but through pony conference games, the Sooners have surrendered 31.2. They're 14th in rushing defense, but 118th in passing yards allowed. Am 1 making too much of this because the Big 12 will just do that to you, or is something up with Mike Stoops' defense?
JASON: The Sooner secondary is really inexperienced, particularly in two of the three safety spots OU regularly uses.
Also, true freshman Jordan Thomas is starting at one of the cornerback spots because of an injury. It's just a young group, and they're making rookie mistakes. There's reason to believe this secondary will be a lot better next season.
KANSAN: The oft-overlooked special teams department has cost Kansas at least two possible wins this season. Is this an area where Oklahoma can take advantage, especially with Alex Ross returning kicks?
JASON: Alex Ross has proven himself to be one of the elite kick returners in America this season, but teams have gotten creative in trying to find ways to limit him the past several weeks. If he catches the ball and finds any open space, he's gone. The Sooners, though, have been really poor in the punt return department this season.
KANSAN: One of the few remaining Big 8 matchups post-conference realignment, Kansas and Oklahoma meet on Saturday for the 105th time dating back to 1903. Oklahoma opened as 28.5 point favorites — do they cover this week? What's the final score?
JASON: I'm picking the Sooners to win 59-20, just because I think they still hold a significant talent edge over the Jayhawks. I have been really impressed with the job Clint Bowen has done, though, as interim head coach, and think he be a solid choice to get the full time job.

Five feet of snow strands Niagara University basketball team
The bus ride home after a loss can feel like an eternity. For the Niagara University women's basketball team, that bus ride home turned into somewhat of a never-ending nightmare.
Lake-effect snow was wreaking havoc all over western New York, and the Niagara women were just a few of the storm's victims.
The team bus was stuck in the snow on the New York State Thruway for nearly 30 hours, just 30 minutes from its campus, before being rescued by New York State Troopers.
"We have snacks, some granola bars and pretzels," Niagara coach Kendra Faustin told the Associated Press in a phone interview before being brought to safety. "We found six bottles of water and have been rationing it. We thought we'd be here for a couple

hours and a couple hours turned into 12 hours. It's now 24 hours."
Niagara's athletic director Simon Gray confirmed their arrival back to campus on Wednesday via Twitter, saying " @NiagaraWBB has safely returned to @NiagaraUniv. Perseverance personified. All those that assisted with the rescue effort are #Heroes."
Faustin told ESPN that the bus had enough gas and power to last a few more days out there.
Some of the marooned players turned snow into drinking water to compensate for the six bottles that the jeam had.
While stranded, team members vocalized their stories on Twitter and other social media, uploading selfies and other pictures, such as pictures of all the snow that surrounded them.
THE BREW
"They really have been great; there's no complaining at all," Faustin said of the team. "They've been joking around: I want a steak, I want a soft taco, a Slurpee. There's definitely nothing in the coaching handbook to prepare you for this."
The Niagara women weren't the first to get stuck in a snowstorm. Just last season, the Southern Illinois men's basketball team was stranded for almost six hours—still nowhere near the 30 hours
that the Niagara women were stuck before getting rescued.
Up next on the schedule for Niagara is a game at the University of Buffalo on Nov. 22—where seven to nine feet of snow is expected before the storm surges are all said and done. Neither Niagara nor Buffalo have said if that game is still on as scheduled.

The first of three games will be Friday at 6 p.m. against the University of Alabama. On Saturday, the Jayhawks will take on Temple University at 4 p.m. Kansas will face Georgetown University at 2 p.m. on Sunday to conclude the tournament in Allen Fieldhouse.

These two teams haven't met since 2011, where Alabama defeated the Jayhawks 80-76. The only returning player from that contest is Kansas senior guard Natalie Knight.
The Temple University Owls (1-1) are led by freshman guard Alliya Butts, who put up 22 points, five assists and five boards in her second collegiate game.
The Jayhawks haven't faced the Owls in more than 23 years, so the contest will be one for the books. The Jayhawks will need to be more aggressive rebounding with sophomore center Safiya Martin on the Owl's roster, taking a game-high 14 boards against Saint Joseph.

Aldridge, guard
Lauren Aldridge, guard Aldridge bounced back from her rough shooting performance in the first game, hitting two of her four field goal attempts in a blowout win against Texas Southern. The Missouri native only played 23 minutes in that game, so she should be fresh and ready to go for the team's three upcoming games.
Natalie Knight, guard
Knight only needed to play 15 minutes against Texas Southern, but she was solid, putting up six points, four rebounds and three assists. The senior guard continues to be one of the key players for the Jayhawks, and she'll need to play well if the Jayhawks are going to make it through the weekend undefeated.
Asia Boyd. guard
Jada Brown, forward
Boyd has had a relatively slow start to the year, shooting just 37.5 percent from the field and 20.0 percent from three, and she'll be looking to play better in the team's upcoming games. Boyd averaged 11 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists in her junior season, and she'll look to get back to that level of play.
After a shaky season opener, Brown posted a solid performance against Texas Southern, scoring four points and racking up nine rebounds. While Brown's numbers weren't necessarily flashy, she did exactly what was asked of her. If she can continue to complement the starters with good overall play, the layhawks could be a dangerous team this year.
Chelsea Gardner, forward
Cherished Basketball, forward Gardner has been the only Jayhawk to score 10 or more points in each of the team's first two games, and she's leading the teams in both points and rebounds. Gardner is shooting 68.2 percent on the year, and as long as she can stay out of foul trouble, there's no reason to expect her numbers to dip.

ALABAMA
Ashley Williams, forward
Williams is off to a great 2014-15 season, averaging 18.3 points and seven rebounds per game. The Georgiaia is shooting 68 percent from the field this year, and she'll be key for the 1-2 Crimson Tide as they get ready to take on the Jayhawks.
Hannah Cook, guard
TEMPLE
Cook actually started the season coming off the bench, but after guard Sharin Rivers struggled in the opener against Florida A&M, Cook was thrust into the starting five. Since then, Cook has scored 37 points over two games, and she has a team-high five steals in that time.
Feyonda Fitzgerald, guard Fitzgerald started off her season with a monstrous performance against La Salle, scoring 29 points while racking up six rebounds and five assists in 34 minutes. Fitzgerald is shooting 45 percent from three on the season, and remarkably, she has only committed one turnover in 71 minutes of play.
Tanaya Atkinson, guard
Atkinson racked up an impressive double-double in the Owls' second game of the season, scoring 17 points and grabbing 11 rebounds. Through two games, the 5-foot-9 guard has managed to grab a team-high nine offensive rebounds, and she is shooting a strong 52.6 percent from the field.
Fevonda Fitzgerald, guard

One Jayhawk represents team at championships
IJDEY ANGUIANO
@joey_anguiano
On Saturday, there will be one lone Jayhawk taking the starti-
ing line amongst the Wildcats,
Cyclones, Razorbacks, Ducks,
Spartans and Buffaloes. Junior Jacob Morgan will be running
in the NCAA Championships as an at-large qualifier.
Morgan was one of 38 individuals selected as an individual qualifier through an automatic and at-large selection process. Every individual qualifier that was selected placed in the top 25 in their region. If Morgan can finish in the top 40 racers, he will qualify for All-American honors; the perfect way to cap off a season where he not only has All-Big 12 honors, but also All-Region honors already under his belt.
The field is extremely stacked, with the best runners in the nation competing. Many consider Oregon's Edward Cheeserek to be the favorite. The sophomore has posted times consistently low all season,with his personal
best coming in at 23:23 for an 8K. In comparison, Maksim Korolev, a fifth-year senior from Stanford who is projected to take second place, has an 8K average time of 23:38, while Morgan's top 8K time of the season is 24:16.
Morgan will have his work cut out for him competing against times like that, but he comes in with a slight advantage having seen the course once during the season at the Indiana State Pre-Nationals Invitational in October.
The course will be slightly soggier than it was in October. According to Weather.com, there is a 50 percent chance of rain on Saturday morning and a high temperature of 46 and wind of 12 mph.
The final meet of the season will start at noon with the women's race, and the gun will go off for the men at 1 p.m. There will be a livestream of the events on ncaa.com.

Even on his days off, after six days of practice, after finishing a 10K last Friday, you can still find junior Jacob Morgan running. Why does he keep running? The answer is simple: He enjoys it.
His dedication to the sport has been evident all season long. Morgan, originally from Topeka, is finishing up his final week of the cross country season. After taking seventh place at the NCAA Regional Championships 10K race last Friday, Morgan has been selected for an at-large bid to the NCAA Championships this Saturday in Terre Haute, Ind. The 10K was the longest distance of the season, but it didn't phase Morgan.
around you."
"It was a little longer, but not much different," Morgan said. "You just coast a little longer, focus a little more and make your big push later in the race. When you're coasting, you've just got to try to get yourself in a good zone and be conscious of what's going on
Now, the transfer from Colorado State finds himself preparing for the next race while recovering from the last one. In addition to cutting down on his mileage during this week's practices, he also is mentally preparing for the largest stage that collegiate cross country can offer.
"It comes down to understanding the fact that I'm ready to race against these guys." Morgan said. "They are the best in the nation, but I didn't get here on a fluke."
belong here too."
"[Morgan is] extremely supportive and very motivating for his teammates."
MICHAEL WHITTLESEY
Cross country coach
Coach Michael Whittlesey knows that Morgan can compete with the best in the nation because of both his belief in himself and his work ethic. Whittlesey has seen Morgan putting in the work all season long, and he believes Morgan has put himself in the right position to succeed. Whittlesey is also thankful for the impact that Jacob has had on the program and the teammates.
"Jacob is a great leader, a huge part of that is by putting himself in the upper echelon of runners, and giving something for his teammates to shoot for. He's extremely supportive and very motivating
for his teammates," Whittlesey said.
But Morgan is quick to shrug off the notion that he's "the guy" just because of where he finishes in the race.
I don't feel that way (being 'the guy'), we all work out and train together, we run the races together, and we just try to finish ahead in the race," Morgan said.

THE DAILY DEBATE
Do you agree with the NCAA decision to move Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight games back into arenas rather than football domes?
By Jacob Clemen
@]Clemn9
"NO"
NCAA basketball appears to be moving away from playing its regional games in domed football stadiums. The 2014 tournament featured just a single region with a domed stadium, Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
Last Friday, the sites for the 2017-2021 Final Fours were announced with Phoenix, San Antonio, Minneapolis, Atlanta and Indianapolis as future hosts cities. Each city features a domed football stadium that will serve as a stage for the Final Four contests.
These domed stadiums, which are meant to accommodate football crowds that are much larger than typical basketball arena crowds, offer the size and accommodation that is necessary for an event as prestigious as the NCAA basketball championship.
Smaller basketball areas would not be able to provide the seating for the high demand that the Final
Four draws. Also, the larger domed venue creates a larger spectacle around the games and a greater magnitude for the cities, teams and fan bases participating in the final games of the tournament.
Having larger stadiums for Final Four games is good for the NCAA and the host city as each can expect a greater revenue. When more basketball fans have access to the games there will be more money spent on seats, merchandise and the entertainment and hotels surrounding the stadium. It can also draw more attention regionally and create new fans that may have otherwise been uninterested in college basketball.
Because arenas are designed specifically for basketball, they are often better suited to the players and more aesthetically pleasing to the fans. Still, there is something about a large football stadium that creates a sense of awe and importance for the games that can't be replicated in the smaller arenas.
Some teams struggle with the atmosphere of a domed football stadium when they
must make a switch late in the tournament. According to thecrunchzone.com, formerly known as cardsandcats.com, a site dedicated to Louisville and Kentucky athletics, noted that since 2005, teams that advanced out of a region played in a dome held a 13-4 record over teams that advanced out of a region played in an arena. Seven of the last nine champions came from regions played in domes despite the fact that only 15 of the 36 regional sites over those nine years utilized domed stadiums.
Clearly, the venue plays a factor in the outcomes of the tournaments and gives a distinct advantage to teams that can get acclimated to the environment of a larger venue. This will draw more interest and money to the NCAA and will allow for more consistency among tournament venues.
The NCAA should continue to play its biggest games in the biggest venues. The ability to accommodate as many fans, media members and personnel far outweighs the aesthetic advantages of a basketball arena setting.

@NCouz
"YES"
The NCAA has decided to change their format of
location for the 2017 Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight games. In recent years, they have played the majority of the Sweet Sixteen and the Elite eight games in retractable roof football domes.
Past games have been played in Georgia Dome, Lucas Oil Stadium, University of Phoenix Stadium, Ford Field and Cowboys Stadium.
I like this decision because of the money the NCAA will be gaining for the future.
These games lost the NCAA a majority of status quo. They thought they could attract more fans and more advertising with these games, but it lost them profit because they would use such a big space for a couple games, and games weren't being sold out for either pair of nights.
The only venues in which they made money were when they played in arenas in smaller-market big cities. A great example is Kansas City, Mo., and the Sprint Center. In March of 2017, they will be hosting the Midwest Regional Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight games.
Even Wichita will be hosting first- and second-round games in their own Chris Koch Center in March of 2018. Wichita was one of the 60 cities also in the running for the same position.
This is a smart move by the NCAA for another reason, as well. It attracts more viewership nationwide. If they continue to have tournament games in these smaller-market cities like KC and Wichita, in the long run, it will benefit because more of the locals in smaller markets will get to see games.
Other games locations starting in March of 2017 for March Madness include Milwaukee, Wis.; Tulsa, Okla.; Buffalo, N.Y.; Raleigh, N.C.; Omaha, Neb.
and Pittsburgh, Pa. These are all smaller-market cities with fans that have been eager to see a tournament with the nation's best college basketball teams, and they will have front row seats. Some of the football kingdoms will take a backseat to a more fan-friendly experience to a place where actual basketball should be played, a low-level hardwood floor. Leave the elevated man-made floor to the Final Four, and its bigger venues where the NCAA decided to keep the final round in a more unlikeable setting — on the football field.
Let's leave basketball to its original playing surface. The right move was made by the NCAA. They keep most of the money in the Final Four, but they effectively get it done by adding more early round games to smaller markets. Slowly but surely, the NCAA will profit due to selling out these arenas.

The roar of chanting fans filled the Horejsi Family Athletic Center even before the Jayhawks took the court. The noise grew louder and louder throughout the four-set match, but the players tuned it out.
This time was different. The Jayhawks were at home; the crowd was on their side.
Kansas (20-7) defeated Iowa State (15-10) in four sets (25,17), (25,23), (20,25), (25,15), extending its win streak to four-straight.
They all had one thing on their minds: winning. Kansas faced Iowa State four weeks ago, and the Cyclones won in a dramatic five-set finish.
Iowa State competed with Kansas in the first set, but never held a lead. Senior outside hitter Sara McClinton led the Jayhawks with seven kills in first installment of play. Freshman setter Ainise Havili recorded 14 assists.
"It was really good to see us earn and grind points late in the fourth set," coach Ray Bechard said.
Things got sticky in the second set. Kansas and Iowa State went back and forth multiple times. The lead changed hands six times, and it was tied nine times.
Sophomore middle blocker Taylor Soucie sealed the deal with a kill that tied the set 20-20. Kansas took the lead from there, winning the set 25-23.
"I think our chemistry is better," Soucie said. "We understand how we all play and what is beneficial to certain players and how to react to each other."
Kansas fell to Iowa State in the third set 20-25. The Jayhawks started out 4-2, but the Cyclones came charging back with repeated kills from redshirt sophomore outside hitter Morgan Kuhrt and errors by multiple Jayhawks.
Kansas wasn't out of it though. The Jayhawks were only down 15-17 before Iowa State charged ahead with kills from sophomore outside hitter Ciara Capezio. When Kansas lost the third set, the crowd remained obnoxious,
hoping to secure a Jayhawk victory.
Winning the fourth set wasn't going to be easy. Kansas and Iowa State battled back and forth. Soucie had a pivotal kill, giving the Jayhawks an 8-7 lead. Kansas never looked back and drilled out the rest of the set. Kills by McClinton, a service ace from sophomore setter Maggie Anderson and errors from Iowa State ensured the victory for Kansas.
Iowa State's Capezio led all players with 16 kills, Kansas' McClinton wasn't far behind with 15.
Sophomore libero Cassie Wait led Kansas with 22 digs. Havilv chalked up 51 assists and added 12 digs.
Next up for the Jayhawks is a date with No. 3 Texas. The Longhorns are 20-1, with their only loss coming against Oklahoma. The Jayhawks and Longhorns will start the first set at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday.

Swim team back in traditional suits this weekend

I AMIE JUST
The Kansas swim team goes old school Nov. 21-23 for the third annual Kansas Classic, held at the Capitol Federal Natatorium in Topeka.
Kansas (6-1) is coming off a short competition break, last competing against Illinois and Tabor College on Nov. 8. The Jayhawks are riding into the Kansas Classic on a fivestraight dual wins streak.
The last time Kansas won five straight duals was in 2010 when the Jayhawks beat Drury and North Dakota in Lawrence and beat Florida International, American University and LSU on the road in Miami.
The Kansas Classic's format is where swimmers go back to the basics and wear traditional suits, rather than technical suits.
"For the athletes,the meet is unique because we don't
allow the technical suit," coach Clark Campbell said of the meet's style last season. "The reason we call it the Kansas Classic is because the swimmers have to go back to the classic swimwear. A lot of the kids competing have never done a meet without the technical suits. It provides an interesting perspective on if they can swim fast without them and what benefits the technical suits give you."
The Kansas Classic is set
up to mimic a championship style meet, such as the Big 12 and NCAA Championships, with preliminary heats in the morning and finals in the evening.

Weis didn't detach himself from calling the plays until six weeks into the season last year. It seemed a little too late for an offense that couldn't find its ground.
KU Psychological Clinic
Weis' midseason departure has shown that it's more than just a system and a pedigree that makes a team. Bowen has instilled a sense of hope in the team. It will make it awfully hard for Kansas athletic director Sheahon Zenger to hire anyone other than Bowen.
HOTEL CITY
Weis' firing gave a chance for the team to demonstrate quality play. Kansas is taking shots down field with precision. They're conducting successful trick plays. Bowen is trying to make Kansas football fun again. Players came here for Charlie Weis — his pedigree and his Super Bowl rings. But Bowen is an unknown commodity; high-end players aren't a guarantee. But if he is able to establish himself and the team, the recruiting will come easier. Bowen does command a certain respect. He is open to new ideas and is cognizant of making them right away. Starting junior quarterback Michael Cummings and promoting Eric Kiseau to the primary play caller has been a blessing to a defeated Kansas offense.
COMMENTARY
In college, using a schematic advantage as the No.1 factor in hiring a coach is utter insanity. It takes commitment, understanding of learning to erase the failures and to emulate the high times — both of which Bowen has all been a part of.
Bowen a good call for permanent head coach position
Bowen isn't renowned for his coverage packages or complex blitz schemes, but he has been encouraged by his players effort.
Kansas football interim coach Clint Bowen walks around, greeting
"We're making a conscious effort to learn and grow as a program, and I believe we're making some positive strides." Bowen said in the weekly Big 12 teleconference.
Kansas junior wide receiver Nigel King had the obvious tipped catch that would have been the game-winning touchdown catch. Another catch by King featured him going up for a 50/50 ball that he ended up pulling down. It was one of the many examples that conjures up a different path for the future of Kansas football.
Clint Bowen is trying to right every wrong in the football program. Bowen showed some major moves against TCU that, unfortunately, didn't pan out. You can say it was coincidental luck, but the effort behind it was just as imperative to executing it.
walks around, greeting every player before the game even begins — checking in like a doctor would with his patients. It's his way of reassuring the players that things are going in the right direction.

President Barack Obama shakes hands with then-nominee for Federal Communications Commission chairman Tom Wheeler in May 2013 in the State Dining Room of the White House in Washington. Obama touched off an angry debate Nov. 10 over government regulation of Internet service, coming down on the side of consumer activists who fear slower download speeds and higher costs but angering Republicans and the nation's cable giants who say the plan would kill jobs.
President Barack Obama's efforts to strengthen "net neutrality" could help University students by ensuring content such as YouTube and Wikipedia remains free and delivered unhindered, University experts said.
"There are no toll roads on the information superhighway," Obama said in a video released Nov. 10. He urged the Federal Communications Commission not to adopt new rules that would allow Internet providers to charge content providers for faster content delivery to their customers.
In May, the FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler had proposed a plan that would prevent companies from slowing or blocking customers' Internet while still allowing Internet providers to implement a two-tier system, in which customers could pay more to be on the "fast lane."
University experts say such a two-tier system would impact students by comparatively slowing their content consumption and increasing the price of some content depending on how fast it's delivered.
Currently, there are no rules banning Internet providers from charging content providers for fastlane service. The best example of this is Netflix and Verizon, said Jonathan Peters, a University journalism professor who specializes in First Amendment and media studies. He is also working in an affiliate research position exploring big data and Internet governance in the KU Information

Key players in the net neutrality debate:
Federal Communications Commission The FCC is considering new regulations that would create a two-tier system allowing Internet providers to charge companies such as Netflix more money for faster Internet service for their customers. It would mean some consumers would get their content slower from companies who don't pay for the faster delivery service, according to the FCC website.
Obama Administration The president spoke out against a two-tier system in a video release, saying that all Internet traffic should be treated equally or neutrally and that providers should not be able to discriminate against content providers who won't pay fees to get higher speed service.
Internet Providers Big companies such as Comcast, Time Warner Cable and AT&T are supporting the new rules being weighed by the FCC. Some are already charging certain content providers to provide content via a "fast lane," said Jonathan Peters, a University journalism professor who specializes in First Amendment and media studies. He is also working as an affiliate researcher exploring big data and Internet governance in the KU Information and Telecommunication Technology Center.
Content Providers — Netflix, Google, Yahoo and other major content providers oppose the new rules proposed by the FCC. They do not want the Internet providers to be able to charge them for faster service, Peters said.
Food drive puts meals on tables for Thanksgiving
ADAM JAMIESON
@SenorJamieson
A charity called Just Food of Douglas County has decided to take the initiative to feed 1,200 families for Thanksgiving. At the end of October, they identified families in the Lawrence area in need of help to enjoy this important part of the year. Aided by University organizations such as KU fights Hunger, Navy and Air Force ROTC, and the Chancellor's Office, Just Food has been able to lower the number of families in need to just 436, as of Friday. A donation of $14 can be used to provide an entire Thanksgiving meal to a household of seven.
This campaign is being run by Elizabeth Keever, chief resource officer at Just Food.
"I used to work in politics, but felt like I could do more to help the community through a nonprofit and be more involved," Keever said. "I was raised where there was always plenty of food on the table, and some of my favorite memories are sitting down to eat with my family. The idea of people having to go without that is unimaginable, and that's how I get up and go to work everyday."
According to a press release from Claudia Larkin at KU Memorial Unions, KU dining and the KU Bookstore recently raised about $2,000 to donate to the shelves of the Douglas County Food Bank, which partners with Just Food.
Administrative offices at the University have also gotten involved.
"The Chancellor's Office, General Counsel and Provost Office all share a suite, and we try to do a food drive each year for [the] Just Food pantry as an office," said Sharon Parnell, associate business manager of the Provost's Office. "Some staff members from some other offices see the signs and donate items too. A couple of us staff members contact the pantry each year to have the bins delivered and make signs to hang in the office. Whoever sees the signs is welcome to donate food."
Some people choose to donate money in lieu of food, and it is used for items that will target hunger more effectively. This drive is still accepting donations, but Just Food is collecting them today.
The specific organization dedicated to fighting hunger at the University is aptly named KU Fights Hunger. Keever said they are a major partner in their shared goal of eradicating improper nutrition in Douglas County.
Just Food is now entering the clutch time part of their campaign. Thanksgiving is just a few days away, and there are still 436 families, who will otherwise have no meal.
Any students interested in getting involved with this effort can still do so by going to justfoodks.org/donate/ or calling (785) 856-7030 with a donation of $14.

Campus to switch to single-stream recycling
AMBER VANDEGRIFT
@AmberVandergrift
Currently, recycling areas on campus have different bins for different materials, like newspaper, cans and bottles. But Jeff Severin, director for the Center for Sustainability, said next semester, the campus will switch to single-stream recycling, which means all recyclable materials can go into the same bin.
Severin said the current system on campus has not been cost effective, because it takes several hours to sort through the bins to make sure they contain the proper materials.
"People are just really used to having one bin for their curbside recycling at home, and I think that's kind of showed up in our streams as well." Severin said. "People haven't been doing as good a job of sorting things into the containers in the hallways."
Waste reduction manager for the University, Eric Nelson, said with single stream, the recycling will be taken to a material recovery facility, where technology and workers
sort the materials.
"They can be a lot more efficient using ... sorting technology than just the human element," Nelson said.
Severin said the new single stream bins will be released in phases, but the University will be changing contracts in early January and should have the new bins across campus by early next semester.
ERIC NELSON University waste reduction manager
He said with the money saved on labor, he hopes they can put that labor into other services, like adding more bins on campus.
"We are rolling out some new recycling bins early in the semester that we hope to have across all of campus eventually." Nelson said. "And
"We are really hoping that it gives students, faculty and staff more opportunities to recycle."
that's really going to bring us a bin standard, so every time you see that bin, you know what can go in that bin."
Nelson and Severin both said the new system should make recycling more convenient.
"I think it would make it a lot easier, because then you could just throw everything you think should be recycled into one spot. ... If we just have one system, then you just recycle everything and it should lead to more recycling." Werle said.
Joe Werle, a sophomore from Shawnee, said he recycles now, but thinks single stream could ultimately cause more recycling.
"We are really hoping that it gives students, faculty and staff more opportunities to recycle," Nelson said.
"We really want to see our campus diversion rate increase, getting more things out of the trash can, out of the landfill and putting those into recycling," he said.
Nelson said he hopes to get the University close to or above the national average in recycling.

Thomas announced the position at a panel discussion Friday hosted by the First Nations Student Association. The lack of representation and support of Native Americans at the University was a key theme at the panel, "Shadows of Education: Native American Quest for Education Equality."

Currently, there is no position uniquely devoted to the relationship between Haskell and the University. The numbers of Native-American freshmen entering the University have been in overall decline since 2008, dropping from 60 that year to 14 in 2013, according to the University's Office of Institutional Research & Planning.

Sexual assault task force finalizes motions
ROCHELLE VALVERDE
@RochelleVerde
Task force members will finalize three recommendations by the semester's end to improve the University's response to sexual assault. The recommendations are: an expansion of jurisdiction to include sexual misconduct occurring off-campus, adoption of a detailed affirmative consent policy and development of a partnership with community agencies to provide victim support.
The task force does not have the power to enforce recommendations,but Angela Murphy,co-chair of the task force and Student Senate graduate affairs director,said the recommendations will put pressure on the University to take action.
"We're working on making sure that the students have the ability to step up and make it known to the University that they are stepping up." Murphy said. "It's kind of a stare down. It's we made these amendments, we have this language, we have done this clearly as a student body. Your move."
The recommendations will be submitted to University administration and Student Senate, which is responsible for amendments to the Student Code of Rights and Responsibilities.
consensus on the language of the recommendation regarding jurisdiction in its meeting Friday and will finalize the recommendations addressing the consent policy and community partnerships by Dec. 8.
The amendment to the Student Code of Rights and Responsibilities regarding jurisdiction is subject to approval by Student Senate. The addition would expand the University's ability to adjudicate and sanction students for sexual misconduct. Murphy said the task force's recommendation states students may be disciplined for sexual harassment, sexual violence or intimate partner violence regardless of premises, as long as at the time they were a student.
The recommendation of an affirmative consent policy would define in detail what does and does not constitute consent for sexual acts. Currently, there is no codified definition of consent in the office for Institutional Opportunity and Access' Sexual Harassment Policy.
Consent is included in IOA's nondiscrimination policy, which defines sexual violence as "any physical act which is sexual in nature that is committed by force or without the full and informed consent of all persons involved."
website lists statements about consent such as "Consent is knowing, active and voluntary" and "Consent cannot be given if a person is incapacitated or unconscious," these definitions are not present in the sexual harassment and sexual violence policy. On the same list is the statement, "Consent is cool. Consent is fun."
While the Student Affairs'
Murphy said the task force has a draft of the consent policy they will recommend, but the exact language hasn't been agreed upon. Murphy said the task force hopes to reach a consensus over the next two weeks, and it is looking at other universities' consent verbiage as models, specifically the University of Iowa.
The University of Iowa's policy states that "consent is a freely and affirmatively communicated willingness to participate in particular sexual activity or behavior, expressed either by words or clear, unambiguous actions." Under this definition are eight other stipulations, such as "lack of protest or resistance does not mean consent, nor does silence mean consent" and "persons who are incapacitated due to the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication" are unable to give consent.
According to IOA records, it is estimated 75 percent of the cases reported at the
University have involved alcohol. In the Friday meeting, Corey Yung, task force member and law professor who specializes in sex crimes, said defining incapacitation is vital, especially in a university setting.
"We need a definition of incapacitation because without it they will assume unconsciousness," Yung said. "We definitely need more because so many cases are bound up in incapacitation and the difference between voluntary and involuntary."
The third recommendation is for the University to develop a formalized partnership with community organizations for victim support. Murphy said partnerships within the community will make sure survivor support is available and easily accessible.
The community partnership recommendation will be directed to administration and suggests that the University develop a Memorandum of Understanding to outline in detail the partnership with the
GaDuGi Safecenter and the Willow Domestic Violence Center.
Members of the task force discussed whether the affirmative consent recommendation should be submitted to Student Senate, administration or both, but have not yet agreed. Murphy, a member of the Student Code subcommittee, said they will meet as subcommittee to discuss it further next week.
Chancellor Bernadette 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 task force's four subcommittees will meet separately next week and reconvene for the final meeting of the semester on Dec. 5 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m in the Provost Conference room of Strong Hall.

"Sexual violence" means any physical act which is sexual in nature that is committed by force or without the full and informed consent of all persons involved. Sexual violence may include but is not limited to rape, sexual assault, sexual battery, and sexual exploitation. Sexual violence can occur between strangers or acquaintances, including people involved in an intimate or sexual relationship. Sexual violence can be committed by men or by women, and it can occur between people of the same or different sex
Sexual Violence:
Education cuts not to be decided until January
I ALLISON KITE
@Allie_Kite
"We most likely wouldn't do anything in advance because we wouldn't know how much to speculate would be cut," she said.
The fate of higher education in Kansas is up in the air as the state awaits the legislative session in January to deal with the $279 million budget shortfall. The Kansas Board of Regents will advocate for higher education throughout the session but will not create a contingency budget in the event that education funding is cut, said Elaine Frisbie, vice president of Finance and Administration for the Kansas Board of Regents.
Between now and June 30, the end of the 2015 fiscal year, the state must make up for the budget gap between already-approved expenditures and revenues. Since the budget for fiscal year 2015 has already been approved, cuts would come from already-
"The further out that this goes, the longer there are delays in communicating what the cut will be, this is going to pose more and more challenges for the universities to respond — for any state agency to respond, whether they're a correctional facility, a state hospital, department of revenue or KU," she said.
"Tuition rates are set in advance by the Board of Regents, so they aren't going to go in and raise tuition rates for the spring," Frisbie
allocated money, including the budget allocated for higher education. This makes the issue an urgent one, Frisbie said.
The budget shortfall may affect students if the University has to make significant cuts, but they will not pay for it through tuition.
The University has been trying to identify opportunities to operate more efficiently and reallocate money within its own budget, Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said.
Ideas as to how the budget shortfall will be made up have been thrown around, but nothing will be decided until this year's legislative session, which starts Jan. 12.
Marks Jewelers
Annie McKay, executive director of Kansas Center for Economic Growth, said she believes the budget gap will be the primary issue to be dealt with in the upcoming legislative session. Options to make up the money could include transfers of money out of highway department reserves, budget
said. "They are going to have to go in and readjust their plans for how they operate this fiscal year."
"To absorb those reductions mid-year is really challenging," McKay said. "They have contracts in place. They have personnel. They have wages they have to pay. They have benefits. They have to keep the lights on."
827 MASSACHUSETTS
Dave Trabert, president of the Kansas Policy Institute, said the highway department and other departments have unnecessary excess cash reserves that could be dipped into to fill up the hole. He went on to say that if departments statewide were to operate more efficiently, the gap could be filled easily.

he said. "We just have to make better use of the resources we already have.
"Another possibility that might be used would be to take money from the state highway fund," he said. "That might be a solution — a temporary solution — for this year, but that doesn't fix things next year."
However, Duane Goossen, former budget director for the state, said dipping into cash reserves would be only a temporary fix. Goossen said the real solution is to reverse tax cuts implemented in 2012 and 2013.

CarShare program provides convenience
ALANA FLINN
@Alana Flinn
A new University of Kansas program this semester is the Enterprise CarShare, which allows students and faculty to rent cars for hours at a time. Students and faculty must sign up with Enterprise for an annual membership price of $35 to be able to use the service.
The goal of the program is to provide a low cost and convenient way for students and faculty to do things like run errands or go to appointments for a couple of hours without having to worry about parking, walking or using the bus system. Jennifer Gaskill, intern for Enterprise Rent-A-Car Division, said the CarShare program offers numerous advantages.
"It's beneficial because it offers peace of mind knowing
you don't have a car out in the parking lot, don't have a place to park, have to pay a huge amount to park or have your car hit," Gaskill said. "It takes away the liability if you have a car here."
international students, we accept international drivers licenses. And freshmen don't have to rely on a bus, friends or anything else for a ride."
JENIFIER GASKILL
Intern for Enterprise
Rent-A-Car Division
While the CarShare program is new to campus, it has been launched at more than 100 other Universities with great success.
There are currently two cars
available to rent, a Ford Focus and a Jeep Patriot. To reserve the cars, renters must be 18 or older, have a valid drivers license and must be students or faculty members of the University.
Gaskill said the program will add more cars to be rented once demand shows it's necessary. Their goal is to reach 120 memberships, or 60 memberships per car, and the program will add another car from there.
"The program is so new, and we're starting from scratch," Gaskill said. "We haven't gotten to the point of needing another [car] yet, but we're approaching that threshold. Once we get enough members or observe need for the cars, we'll get a new car."
Gaskill said the program is especially popular among international students and

and Telecommunication Technology Center. Netflix is currently paying Verizon and Comcast to ensure that its video content reaches customers at unhindered speeds, Peters said. However, Netflix and other content providers publically have said they hope the FCC prohibits this practice in the future.
KU Libraries also opposes a two-tier system, said Scott Hanrath, assistant dean of information technology and discovery services.
The University has been on the forefront of the "open access" movement, which is based on the idea that all research and information that KU libraries provides to students and faculty from databases and other sources should be easily accessible to
all, Hanrath said.
"If our resources are put on the 'slow lane' then we aren't providing that open access," Hanrath said. "We can do our part to make these resources freely available on the Internet, but if all of a sudden those aren't being delivered on the 'fast lane', it wouldn't be enough to just provide access to the information available."
"Common carrier is an old idea," Peters said. "Basically it means that a company that is hired to deliver a message shouldn't interfere with the message in any way."
To avoid this hindrance of information delivery to consumers, Obama is calling for the FCC to re-classify the Internet as a common carrier and to regulate it as a utility.
ones sending a message and the consumers of the Internet are the ones waiting for the message to arrive. Under the idea of a common carrier, a two-tier system would be illegal because it would directly impact the delivery speeds of some customers' contents.
Peters said big Internet providers are the message carriers in this scenario. Content providers are the
Not only would this hurt the consumers' ability to freely access all information and media available from content providers, this two-tier system would also hurt entrepreneurs who want to start up a new website, Peters said.
"The startups and entrepreneurs are the people who are not going to be able to afford the fast lane," Peters said. "The fear is this would choke off innovation at its source by preventing companies from getting on the fast lane."

"We're really trying to get a lay of the land," Thomas said. "We have to do better."
About 50 people attended the panel discussion at the Kansas Union on Friday afternoon. Panelists were RedCorn, Harding, Moses Brings Plenty, Dan McCarthy and Shelley Bointy.
Thomas, who was in attendance, said the University's efforts need to be intentional versus informal.
Brings Plenty, cultural outreach liaison for the Kansas City Indian Center, said if students want change, nothing is automatic, and they have to be positive and vocal.
"If you want change, it's you, it's you the people," Brings Plenty said. "If everyone got together and went to these administrative offices, what are they going to do? They can turn away 10, but can they turn away 50 or 100?"

Harding said there needs to be programs for specific cultural groups, as opposed to programs that lump people of color together. Harding said there are only two institutional entities uniquely for Native Americans: FNSA, which is student run, and the Haskell Bridge Program. The Bridge Program facilitates Haskell students' transition to 4-year universities to study biomedical sciences.
"The things that are supposed to be there to remediate issues are not," RedCorn said.

WATSKYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!
When My Math Lab can't do math correctly, it's a sad state of affairs.
Thank you Kansas, for giving us one day of beautiful fall weather before returning to this hellish winter weather.
Everyday is cheat day if you believe in yourself.
Realized today I spent more time texting my little sister than paying attention in class.
According to my Bio 150 lab experiment, a pump and a rub of hand sanitizer doesn't do a thing. Hands need to be completely wet with an alcohol-based one for 15 seconds.
So I've saved every UDK that I've gotten an FFA in. Is this lame? I don't care...it's the only major accomplishment I've done in college so far.
The week hasn't even started yet and I'm already sleepy. Thank God for Thanksgiving Break!!!!
I'm the type of person who gets highly offended if you say you like my favorite character more than I do.
Lemony_of_lawrence... It's a catstagram.
The cold never bothered me anyway.
The football team competed with the fourth ranked team in the nation and the basketball team got embarrassed. I'd like to wake up now please.
People keep talking about the "bipolar weather," but on Earth isn't it always cold at both poles?
To the guy who left his boxes under the newspaper stand... they're by Watson library waiting for you...
So, can we talk about Serial please?
Why don't we have designated nap areas? The bottom floor of Anschutz is perfect. Replace the tables with padded benches.

'Movember' shouldn't exclude women
By Madeline Umali
@MadelineUmali
No-Shave November means long beards, mustaches and - although people hate to admit it leg hair. The month of November seems to be associated with this razor-free chant, but usually this is just for men. Men are encouraged to grow out their beards and mustaches because they are signs of masculinity.
However, if a woman were to stop shaving for an entire month, she would probably be called some awful names.
their eyelashes need to be long. By instilling these standards into the minds of young girls, society is telling them what is and is
Although the slogan "No-Shave November" is meant to be light-hearted, it is a symbol for something bigger. Women are told at a young age that hair is a symbol of beauty. They are told that the hair on their head needs to be long and healthy. However, there are certain parts of their bodies that should never have hair, including their legs and underarms. Their eyebrows need to be plucked, but
"The usual stereotypes about women and hair should be thrown out the window."
not normal for hair.
When women decide to take part in No-Shave November, they should not be shunned or called vulgar names. The reasons they are doing it could be
just as valid as any man's decision to stop shaving.
What most people don't know is that No-Shave November, or "Movember," is about charity. The No-Shave organization is dedicated to raising money for education about testicular cancer prevention, spreading awareness and saving lives.The concept is you donate the money you usually spend on shaving and grooming care to the No-Shave organization during the month of November.
I think if students want to partake in the No-Shave
November trend, they should do it to help with the No-Shave organization. The usual stereotypes about women and hair should be thrown out the window. Men shouldn't be the only ones who can take part in the No-Shave trend. Anyone who wants to join in should be encouraged to, no matter what gender a person is.

Supreme Court needs to decide on gay rights
By Victoria Calderon
@WriterVictoriaC
Recently, Plymouth Congregational Church officiated its first same-sex marriage since the ban was lifted in Douglas County. Although this is a joyous and momentous occasion for Kansas, legal forces, like Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt, are trying their hardest to fight the court's decision. Here, the U.S. Supreme Court must step in to protect individual rights afforded to citizens of the United States.
Last week, the Kansas Supreme Court said
same-sex marriage would be legal in Johnson County, the state's most populous county. This progress is moving parallel to Schmidt's appeals to the Supreme Court to put the state's provision against same-sex marriage back in place. Although Schmidt cited the overwhelming support of Kansas for the gay-marriage ban in 2005 to justify his appeal, public opinion has shifted significantly since 10 years ago.
Gay marriage is an issue that doesn't just concern state rights. This is a federal issue grounded in the freedoms given to citizens in the Constitution. Kansas
According to a Public Policy Polling survey taken by Kansas residents in February, 44 percent of
Kansans think gay marriage should be allowed. Although the number is still a minority belief in our state, it has grown notably. Those against same-sex marriage stand at 48 percent, while the other eight percent answered "not sure." As the poll did not ask for the levels of support for or against gay marriage, it's difficult to gauge how strong the respondents' beliefs were.
courts cannot keep banning something inherent to an individual's right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness. However, the political climate of Kansas is still clear as day. Kansas remains a conservative red state, as can be inferred from the 2014 election results; Shawnee, Douglas and Wyandotte were the only counties that had a majority vote for a non-Republican candidate in the races for state governor and senator.
The U.S. Supreme Court ultimately must address this growing need and set a mandate as to whether
same-sex marriage is constitutional. Upholding the circuit court's decisions to strike down bans on gay marriage is fine for now, but the highest court must step up soon and create a precedent for the freedom to love in America, further assisting our nation in earning the title "Land of the Free."

College gives you a time to reinvent yourself and become the person you always wanted to be. You can recreate yourself into someone different from the labels thrusted upon you in high school. However, as most students shed their old identities and start their new journeys in college, some may end up shedding their religious beliefs as well.
Don't lose track of your religious beliefs in college
"While everything around you changes,your beliefs and values should remain the same."
While college is a time for change, some things from home should always be kept dear. One of these is your moral values, which stem from most students' religious beliefs. During my first semester at the University, I became so caught up in the college experience that I put off my religious activities. I found myself skipping church because I stayed out too late the night before or I participated in activities I knew were wrong. I feel as though I am not the only

college student who went through this and I know I am not the last.
For those currently going through this struggle between your beliefs and what your friends and peers do, use these words to keep you on track instead of realizing this how I did — in a hospital bed. Keeping your values is critical in becoming the best person you can be. While everything around you changes, your beliefs and values should remain the same.
This by no means applies to every student. Some were not raised in a religious environment and others may not have faltered as much in this area when they came to college. But to those who feel their religion has started to take a backseat to partying and school, keep your faith a priority. With every decision, evaluate what is more important to you as an individual. Do not compare yourself to others because everyone takes a different journey finding themselves. Remember who you are in the moment and remind yourself of the person you wish to become. Keeping your religion close to your heart in college will help provide you with guidance on this crazy journey.

Autism advocacy group gets adviser
CODY SCHMITZ
@Cody_Schmitz
At the start of the semester, Phillip McGruder wanted to create an autism advocacy and support group on campus. Today, McGruder has expanded his original goal, and the club is on its way to having its first meeting.
McGruder, a junior from Kansas City, Kan., is the president and co-founder of the unnamed organization. McGruder was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, an autism spectrum disorder, at birth. McGruder said because he understands the struggles of autism, he is passionate about creating an organization at the University to help others in similar situations.
Nona Golledge, director of KU Dining Services, is the organization's new adviser. She said she read the article the University Daily Kansan printed about McGruder's intentions to create an advocacy group. She said she had been interested in some kind of support group or club
"I have family members that are on the spectrum." Golledge said. "Through my experience, I know that it's important for others to be aware of those that fall on the spectrum. I know the concerns of wanting to do what's best and not quite knowing where to turn."
on campus for autism, so she contacted McGruder.
"I want to help make it a place, almost like family, where people can come and speak and get support and feel like they're valued and an important part of society," she said.
Golledge assists McGruder and the organization's executive board.
Golledge said she wants to see faculty, staff, parents and alumni also involved in the group.
McGruder's original plan for the club was to become a chapter of the national organization Autism Speaks U. Autism Speaks U is a program created to help college students in their awareness and advocacy for the disorder, according to
He said the first order of business is to decide whether the club will connect with the national Autism Speaks organization or if it will organize a separate autism spectrum support group.

the official website.
The advantage of creating their own support group is that all the funds the club raises will benefit those with autism in the University and Lawrence area, instead of a majority of funds going to a national brand.
Junior Phillip McGruder, right, started an autism advocacy support group. Nona Golledge, left, recently became the organization's new advisor.
By creating a support group, McGruder said the organization would inform and educate the University and Lawrence about autism spectrum disorders. The group would fundraise to establish scholarship support for University students who have autism spectrum disorders and similar learning disabilities. The group would also bring speakers to Kansas, fund various programs, advocate for those in the community with autism and connect with the Kansas Center for Autism Research and Training located
on the KU Edwards campus. McGruder plans to hold the first meeting in the first week of December. The meeting will be open to anyone who is on the autism spectrum, anyone who has a friend or family member with autism or anyone who wishes to be supportive.
"We want to help be peoples' guides and let them know that it's all right and there's nothing wrong with what they're going through," McGruder said. "We can help show that KU is a great community for people with autism."

Campus groups spread trans+ awareness
MARIA SANCHEZ
@Maria Sanchez
On a Tuesday evening, graduate student Roze Brooks, along with members of Spectrum KU, decorated the front office window of the Sabatini Multicultural Resource Center. The window was not covered with images or designs, but with the names of more than 200 people who died worldwide in the past year due to anti-trans+ violence, in light of Transgender Day of Remembrance, which is held annually on Nov. 20.
For Trans+ Awareness Month, the KU Center for Sexuality and Gender Diversity joined with Spectrum KU, the Office of Multicultural Affairs and the Emily Taylor Center for Women and Gender Equity to create conversation about trans+ awareness and gender.
Throughout November, the
KU Center for Sexuality and Gender, Diversity featured a variety of discussions and events. Among these discussions were two series that had never been done before: "TRANSlation: A Trans+ and Ally Discussion" and "Breaking Gender Bread." Brooks, who is also the co-adviser of Spectrum KU and Coordinator at the KU Center for Sexuality and Gender Diversity, said conversations like these are vital for students.
"I think it's good for students to engage in those conversations because if they're not introduced to varying perspectives on things, then they're always going to assume their perspective is the only perspective," Brooks said.
These discussions could potentially continue as a monthly or bimonthly event; separate of Trans+ Awareness
Month. Brooks said with gender being something people aren't taught to question, these conversations do more than introduce different perspectives — they encourage action.
"I'm really hoping it will give students a little bit more perspective on stuff they can change," Brooks said. "Just being able to have a conversation about gender that has more substance."
"It humanizes [trans+ people] in a way that these are real people, and they have these real identities," Fugate said.
Garrett Fugate, a graduate student and Spectrum KU officer, said he hopes these conversations also simply educate others on the fact there are people who identify with gender identities outside of the binary.
Breaking Gender Bread was a lunchtime discussion
geared toward faculty and staff, but anyone was welcome to attend. This month's theme focused on gender-neutral bathrooms. Brooks said they hope for the future discussions to also be themed. The TRANSLation conversation's goal was to start a casual talk about gender identities and breaking gender binaries. Brooks said one of the criticisms of Spectrum KU has been that their speakers and programs have a lecture feel to them, so they felt giving students an area to relax and talk was useful.
"If you're not ready to be taught about gender, it's hard for you to latch onto that," Brooks said. "So I think having everybody in the room contribute what level they're at in terms of gender conversations was more beneficial than a training or a lecture."
Brooks said ideally, Breaking Gender Bread would be picked up by the Center for Sexuality and Gender Diversity as a program and Spectrum KU would pick up TRANSlation. Brooks said TRANSlation has the potential to even become its own organization.
But in order for TRANSlation and Breaking Gender Bread to flourish as monthly discussions, student interest is needed.
"I think it will take additional student buy-in from people besides Spectrum to keep it going and want to have these conversations proactively," Brooks said.
Fugate said although these conversations are centered on gender and trans+ identities and experiences, they impact everyone.

Student launches birthday card foundation
MARISSA KAUFMANN
@Mariss193
University student Ray Li launched a Kickstarter campaign today with the mission of providing a unique, customized birthday card for every homeless child in America. Li, a freshman from Lawrence, is head of design and founder of MakeACard. "No one wants generic birthday cards," Li said. "Every child is unique; what they receive should be unique to them."
MakeACard will be contacting shelters and community organizations to reach out and distribute the cards through the shelters. Li said he also plans to launch a portal where people can request birthday cards to connect with those who may not be affiliated with a shelter. Li started the birthday campaign earlier this school year and is now turning to Kickstarter with the final goal of raising $80,000 to create a foundation that is primarily self-sustaining but also has a source
of funding, allowing for more to be done to help homeless children, he said.
Li said he was inspired by a self-help book, "100 Ways to Motivate Yourself: Change Your Life Forever" by Steve Chandler. The book urged him to make a difference in his life by thinking back to his childhood and finding something he could change. The book encouraged him to change or fix the issue for others.
Li's family immigrated to the United States from China,
To combat those feelings, he decided to try and bring birthday cards to homeless children who may not get a card on their birthday. He said it is also an initiative to
and he said giving birthday cards was not customary, so he never received birthday cards as a child. Though Li looks back now on his childhood and remembers the happy and positive moments in his life, Li said growing up he felt as if he was missing out on many experiences and sometimes felt left out.
His initial inspiration came from an experience in seventh grade, when he was given a birthday card by someone he did not know very well. Li said he considered this gesture a bright and positive point in his life and has used this moment to help him get through more difficult times later on in life.
include every child in America and to make sure that no one feels left out.

for trans+ people," Fugate said. "I think they're also for everyone because we are talking about gender and gender affects everybody."
The structure for Breaking Gender Bread would rely heavily on the topics of the conversations. Brooks said these topics are gender minority issues that need to be brought to light and acknowledged.
"In an ideal world we wouldn't necessarily have to have these conversations so much," Brooks said.
TRANSlation brought a group of about 20 students together last Tuesday. Brooks said some students who came had never attended any Spectrum KU events before.
Although Brooks said it is difficult to introduce new gender perspectives as late as college, they hope these discussions are a step in the right direction in terms of gender and trans+ awareness.
"It's harder to break those perceptions this late if you're not ready to," Brooks said. "I'm hoping that's what TRANSlation and Breaking Gender Bread does, that it creates options besides just two options."

Li has six years of programming and design experience from programming applications and developing websites. He started offering graphic design services over

As a result, Li said he took pre-existing technologies and pieced them together to formulate his own program that creates birthday cards. He said most of his experience

Jayhawks stumble, drops three sets to Texas
MATT CORTE
@Corte UDK
Since a Nov. 1 loss to Texas Christian University, Kansas volleyball had been playing arguably its best all season.
The team compiled a four-match Big 12 winning streak in dominant fashion since defeating opponents a combined 12 sets to two, and finally had willed themselves back into the top four of the conference.
On Saturday, though, the royalty of Big 12 volleyball abruptly put the Jayhawks back in its place.
The No. 3 Texas Longhorns (22-1, 14-1) locked up the Big 12 championship outright when they defeated Oklahoma on Nov. 15, but took it to the Jayhawks all the same, sweeping Kansas 25-20, 25-23, 25-18.
"We could've done a better job out of the locker room in the third set, but we dug ourselves a hole," Kansas coach Ray Bechard said. "We were out of character for us, but playing a big-time opponent can create different issues. Congratulations to them, not only on their Big 12 title but also on playing a good match
today."
Kansas found some rhythm early in set one and looked competitive in the first 20 points of the match, tying the score at 10-10 after a Texas hitting error.
However, Texas middle blocker Molly McCage followed that with three- straight kills, opening the score up 13-10 before two Kansas attack errors extended it to 15-10, putting Texas in the driver's seat for the rest of set one.
"We could've done a better job out of the locker room in the third set, but we dug ourselves a hole."
RAY BECHARD Kansas volleyball coach
The Jayhawks were able to limit Longhorn scoring runs in set two, and it proved effective. Kansas played its best set of the day, and after senior outside hitter Chelsea Albers tied the match at 23-23 with a kill, it looked as if the Jayhawks could get back into the match.

right back with a kill of its own, and Albers committed a hitting error on the next play to give the Longhorns a commanding 2-0 set lead.
Unfazed, Texas answered
"At 23-all we just needed to make a couple plays in the second set to really change the complexion of the match," Bechard said.
The Longhorns came out strong in set three by extending an early five-point lead at 8-3, and dictated the set by only letting Kansas get within four points the rest of the way. With the win, Texas extended its winning streak over the Javahaws to 22 matches.
Beachard has said the goal for Kansas (20-8, 8-6) is to finish top three in conference, but with Saturday's loss, that challenge becomes much more difficult.
Albers was really the only Kansas player able to thwart Texas' blockers, posting 16 kills in the match along with 11 digs for her eighth double-double this season.
The Jayhawks will need to win their final two Big 12 games in order to do so, and one of those matches comes against third-place Oklahoma.

Kansas (6-1) won 12-of-18 events and recorded 70 best times from its swimmers.
The Jayhawks finished with 1,283 points. Iowa State came in second with 1,093 points. Northern Iowa was third with 441 points. Nebraska-Omaha scored 378 points. Tabor College rounded out the field with 146 points.
"Championship meets are a lot like a boxing match, it was like a six round boxing match and it's interesting to see the ebbs and flows," coach Clark Campbell said. "We really only had one session that wasn't as good as what we can do and we had five really good sessions. Out of the six, I thought five of the sessions were incredibly strong and that's really good to see because this team is going to be really good."
In addition to performing at the top of their game, the Jayhawks broke Notre Dame's old record Saturday in the 200-medley relay. Sophomore Yulduz Kuchkarova, junior Bryce Hinde, senior Deanna Marks and freshman Hannah Driscoll now share ownership of the fastest mark in Kansas Classic history in that event.
"Out of the six, I thought five of the sessions were incredibly strong and that's really good to see because this team is going to be really good."
CLARK CAMPBELL Kansas swimming and diving coach
Five different layhawks earned individual gold during the Classic. Junior Chelsie Miller won four events, Kuchkarova won two events, and sophomore Lindsay Manning, Hinde and junior Haley Molden all won one a piece.
Many other Jayhawks finished in the top eight in several events, as well.
In the 500-yard freestyle, six
of the top eight swimmers were donning Jayhawks on their swim caps. Miller won the event. Manning finished third, freshman Madison Straight placed fourth, sophomore Sammie Schurig came in fifth, Molden finished sixth and sophomore Allison Merecka placed seventh. In that race alone, Kansas came out with 99 points.
This team effort was showcased throughout the whole weekend.
The 1650-yard freestyle was the only event where fewer than four swimmers scored for Kansas.
"We still have a lot of swimming to do, the kids learned a lot this weekend," Campbell said. "We have a little different format in two weeks, but it's all about the process of growing the swimmer and making them fast and were further ahead than we have been."
The team splits up again for the next round of competition. Some athletes will travel to North Carolina for the USA Winter Nationals meet over Dec. 4-6. The rest of the squad will return to Lawrence for the Jayhawk Open on Dec. 6, with the first event starting at 1 p.m.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"We didn't take advantages of some opportunities early and [the momentum] swung. I know their record was 0-10, but it's evident when you turn on the tape and you study [the Raiders] that they've got some good football players."
Andy Reid Kansas City Chiefs coach

ESPN
TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: How many wins against teams with winning records do the Chiefs have this season?
A: Four (Miami, New England, San Diego, Seattle).
Oakland loss will not derail Chiefs season
A
Anything can happen in the world of the National Football League. That sentence rings especially true when looking back at last week's Thursday Night Football game. The Kansas City Chiefs, riding a five-game winning streak, lost on the road to the winless Oakland Raiders 24-20 in an upset.
While this loss may sting Chiefs fans, it does not necessarily foreshadow an epic derailment of the rest of Kansas City's season. Despite a 1-10 record, the Raiders are not necessarily the worst team in the NFL. They came within one or two possessions of defeating the Arizona Cardinals, the Seattle Seahawks and the San Diego Chargers twice. The win against the Chiefs might be the only one the Raiders get this season, but it shouldn't be as embarrassing as Chiefs fans may think.
The loss should not seriously affect playoff seeding for Kansas City. The
By Derek Skillett
@Derek Skillett
Chiefs have big-time wins against the New England Patriots, the Chargers, the St. Louis Rams, the Miami Dolphins and the defending Super Bowl champions, the Seahawks. These wins should offset bad losses to the Tennessee Titans and the Raiders. The wins against the Chargers and Dolphins, two teams in the playoff hunt, also put the Chiefs in good position for a wild-card spot.
The Chiefs still have opportunities to add more quality victories, with a Sunday Night Football battle against the Denver Broncos coming up next
week, followed by a road matchup with the Cardinals, and season-ending games against the Pittsburgh Steelers and a rematch with the Chargers.
Unfortunately, the Chiefs have put themselves in a tough position in the competition to win the AFC West division. After tying the Broncos for first place in the division last week, the Chiefs now stand one game behind Denver for the lead in the AFC West after Denver's win against the Dolphins. Kansas City will likely need to win against Denver on Sunday and have the Broncos slip up somewhere down the final stretch of the season in order to win the division.
The Chiefs have the ability to win against any team in the NFL. They rely on an offense that controls the clock, being 11th in the league in time of possession per game, and don't make mistakes, having only 10 turnovers all season. Even when
facing quarterbacks such as Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Philip Rivers, Russell Wilson and Colin Kaepernick, the Chiefs' defense hasn't allowed an opposing quarterback to pass for 300 yards. Despite a few occasions, coach Andy Reid has done a masterful job of orchestrating the offense and has done a brilliant job of calling plays in clutch situations.
Kansas City fans should not be worried about Thursday night's loss to the Raiders. They should take an objective look at the Chiefs and realize this team has a legitimately great shot at making a deep postseason run if it makes the playoffs. Great defense and a great running game, something the Chiefs have in bunches, form a great recipe for getting to the Super Bowl. As Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said earlier this season: "R-E-L-A-X."

KANSAS TIPOFF
BLAIR SHEADE
@RealBlairSheady
AT A GLANCE
Rider will be the first rebound game after Kansas lost to Kentucky. The Jayhawks will need to become a more productive team after shooting 20 percent from the field against Kentucky. Self said the team has forgotten about the loss.
Alexander hasn't started a game this season and is the first player off the bench. He's known for being a mauler in the paint but lacks the height to shoot over taller defenders. His height problem showed against Kentucky where he was blocked twice in 20 minutes.
QUESTION MARKS
Can Mason or Graham distribute the ball?
RIDER BRONCS
Against Kentucky, Mason and Graham didn't have a single assist. The Kansas offense needs a point guard to distribute the ball, and the Kansas guards need to pass for the offense to work.

M. BENNETT
Wayne Selden Jr., sophomore, guard The Jayhawk offense relies on Selden making his shots. Through the first two games, Selden is shooting 6-for-20 and has taken seven 3-pointers. Selden was known as an attacker but had trouble getting in the lane against Kentucky.

★★★☆☆
RIDER
Matt Lopez, senior, center
Lopez is the Broncs' lone 7-footer, a player the Jayhawks miss down low this year. In just 21 minutes against Lehigh, Lopez turned the ball over four times, but added eights points. Lopez will be a big presence in the paint Monday night.

@BCarroll91
AT A GLANCE
★★☆☆☆
The Rider Broncs are currently riding a two-game win streak with victories over Pennsylvania and Lehigh and sit at 2-1. The Broncs are trying to improve on a losing season last year when they finished 14-17 and 9-11 in the MAAC. Kansas will be the first ranked team the Broncs play this season.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Teddy Okereafor, Guard
RIDER
Okereafor is coming off a game in which he scored 29 points and he leads the Broncs in the three major categories: points, rebounds and assists. He is arguably Rider's best player, and if Okereafor can get on a roll, he could be poised for another big game Monday inside Allen Fieldhouse.
QUESTION MARKS
Can the Rider bench keep up?
Rider doesn't have many solid options outside its starting five, and, in fact, only two subs played more than 10 minutes and none of the six scored more than four points. With Kansas' potent offense, Rider will need to rest its starters, and it will need the subs to step up bigger than it did Friday night against Lehigh.
BY THE NUMBERS

Since Rider joined the MAAC in 1998, the Broncs have won 172 of 308 games.
3

Prediction: Kansas 74, Rider 58
The Broncs out-defend Kansas. Coach Baggett emphasizes defense, and in three games this season, Rider's defense has given up an average of 65 points per game. With Kansas' high-powered offense, the Broncs' defense will be the key to the game if they want to leave Lawrence with a W.

COMMENTARY
Kansas' progress doesn't carry over on the road
By Stella Liang
@Stelly Liang
H history was made in Norman, Okla., on Saturday, and the
Jayhawks could do nothing but watch.
Kansas football had made big strides in the last couple of weeks, culminating in a near-victory against TCU on Nov.15.The offense was clicking, especially in the passing game.Receivers were emerging as go-to targets.
In the last two road games against Oklahoma and Baylor, the team was blown out. Kansas lost by a combined score of 21-104.
But the difference in the way the Jayhawks play on the road and at home has been huge.
In the last two home games — against Iowa State in a victory and TCU in a loss — Kansas has scored a combined 64 points and given up 48.
45 points and give up 20.
It's common for teams to play better at home. The unfamiliar atmosphere and opposing fans on the road take a toll. Earlier in the season co-offensive coordinator John Reagan said on the road, there is a smaller margin of error. He said teams have to do the same things they do at home, but better.
Against Oklahoma, they didn't do those small things better. There was an errant snap on a punt. There were missed tackles.
Everything in the last two road games sort of snowballed for the layhawks. They got behind and never looked like they could come back.
Oklahoma freshman running back Samaje Perine rushed for an NCAA single-game record of 427 yards. At first it was one touchdown, then two. Finally, he rushed for his fifth touchdown. It just kept getting worse for the Jayhawks. The yards and touchdowns are the most given up to a Kansas opponent in both categories.
The defense had a hard time against the Sooner run game, but the offense didn't offer any help in keeping and moving the ball. Kansas' lone score came when senior safety Cassius Sendish recovered a fumble and took it to the end zone.
Junior quarterback Michael Cummings, who averaged 305 yards against Iowa State and TCU, had only 84 yards through the air. He overshot receivers on multiple plays.
Kansas has shown it can play with anyone in the Big 12. Coach Clint Bowen has said multiple times that his players know they are Big 12 players and play like it. He doesn't want them to be intimidated by a name like Oklahoma.
The game just had a different feel than the last two games. It was a game that dragged on, instead of a game filled with hope.
On Saturday, the Jayhawks played like they thought they didn't belong. Bowen's next goals should be to move on, find a way to wipe away the road mentality and focus on Kansas State.

DAN HARMSEN
@UDK_Dan
Postponed an hour and a half due to a crop of lightning clouds in the area, Kansas took the field in Norman, Okla., at 12:30 p.m. Saturday looking to carry the momentum from its previous eight quarters - a victory against Iowa State and a close defeat to the highly favored Horned Frogs.
But following a 44-7, record-breaking defeat to the Oklahoma Sooners (8-3, 5-3) at Gaylord Family Stadium, that improvement from the past two games will be shrouded by the blowout as Kansas fell to 3-8 and 1-7 in the Big 12.
“[The Sooners] obviously had a good game plan,” Kansas coach Clint Bowen said. “Their offensive line played very physically, came off the ball hard and got movement on us. That Sooner offensive line paved the way to history on Saturday.”
Just last week, while Kansas was giving No. 4 TCU fits in Lawrence, Wisconsin junior running back Melvin Gordon was etching his name in college football lore a few hundred miles north.
With his 408 yards on 25
carries against No. 16 Nebraska, Gordon set the NCAA single game rushing record, eclipsing LaDainian Tomlinson's output in 1999 by 2 yards.
On Saturday — just seven days after a performance unseen in history — Gordon relinquished his title to Sooner freshman Samaje Perine. Perine stole Gordon's thunder from last week on a dreary, rainy day finishing with 427 rushing yards and five touchdowns.
what we didn't do was stop [Perine]. In any way, shape or form."
CLINT BOWEN Kansas football coach
"I really can't [put my feelings into words] right now," Perine said after the game.
With 12 minutes left to play in the game, Perine checked out for the final time to a standing ovation from the smattering of Sooner fans, who braved the windy and rainy conditions.
freshman safety Fish Smithson said of the Oklahoma running back after the record-breaking performance. "He got the best of us."
"He's hard to bring down,"
Despite the late start due to inclement weather, for Perine, the groundbreaking began right on schedule.
On his first carry of the game — Oklahoma's second possession — Perine went off left tackle 49 yards for the game's opening score.
Adding two more touchdown runs of 33 and 34 yards before halftime, the tailback snapped former Oklahoma running back Adrian Peterson's freshman touchdown record and his single-half output — the best in Sooner history.
Perine's first and second touchdowns were his 15th (tying) and 16th (record-breaking) of the season, cruising to 222 first-half yards along the way, which was an Oklahoma record, passing Peterson's 2005 record of 205 yards.
The first half was crazy enough as it was. The second half, though, became downright absurd.
With the nation abuzz at his first two quarters, Perine took the opening handoff of the second half 66 yards for
the touchdown.
"The guy is just so exceptional in everything that he does," Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said of Perine.
With a 27-yard scoring scamper later in the third quarter, the record was all but his. Perine ran left, he ran right, and he went through and around the Jayhawk defense on his way to a historic day.
"What we didn't do was stop him." Bowen said. "In any way, shape or form."
The last time an opponent rushed for 200 or more yards on Kansas was in September when Duke freshman Shaun Wilson went for 245.
"It's tough," Smithson said. "No one wants to be that team that gets a record broken on them."
Kansas senior defensive tackle Keon Stowers said a lot of the credit goes to the Sooner offensive line.
"They're an experienced group." Stowers said. "Big and physical. They were gashing us."
As a whole, the Sooners combined for 549 yards on the ground, the most a Jayhawks defense had allowed since the 604 yards rushing in 2011 against Georgia Tech.
The Oklahoma offensive
line blew open the floodgates all afternoon, something Kansas failed to do, averaging just 5 yards per carry.
It was the Kansas defense that scored the most points in this game for the Jayhawks. Senior safety Cassius Sendish scooped a fumble and returned it 63 yards for the lone Kansas score.
"If we make big plays like that," Sendish said, "it will turn into a snowball effect. We were hoping that to be it, but it wasn't."
One game remains in a 2014 season filled with many downs, but a few ups. The Jayhawks want to put this one behind them.
"You can't dwell on it," Smithson said.
The record may hang heavy to fans of the program, but the players are already thinking about next week, the final game for 21 seniors.
"I've already forgotten it," Stowers said. "If you keep thinking about it then it will go into next week."
Next week doesn't get any easier. Kansas travels to Manhattan on Saturday to take on the No. 12 Kansas State (8-2, 6-1) at 3 p.m., where Kansas hasn't won since 2007.

The Jayhawks (4-1) defeated Georgetown 55-42 Sunday, finding their second win of the three-game slate of games this weekend in the Naismith Hall of Fame Women's Basketball Challenge at Allen Fieldhouse.

nior forward Chelsea Gardner goes for a lay up against Georgetown on Sunday as part of the Naismith Hall of Fame Women's Basketball Challenge.
"We knew the reason why we lost [against Alabama] was because of our defense," senior guard Natalie Knight said. "The last couple days we've really just focused on being where we're supposed to be on help side and think ball pressure. Really, we just focused on defense the last few days and you know, if you can stop a team, you can always score, but you have to be able to get stops, too."
BROOK BARNES/KANSAN
Three games in three days is tough for any team, and the Jayhawks looked past the fatigue and made sure to keep their teammates motivated.
"It was a little difficult to get going [against Georgetown]." Knight said. "But once we got going, we were able to pick up the energy. It was really just about finding energy from the bench and then being able to come together and be

Chancellor announces change to student code
MCKENNA HARFORD
@McKennaHartford
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little spoke about sexual assault, campus safety and the academic scandal at the University of North Carolina on Monday afternoon.
SEXUAL ASSAULT
Chancellor Gray-Little approved an immediate change in the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities that clarifies the 'University's ability to exercise jurisdiction over violations of the nondiscrimination and sexual harassment policies on Monday.
The change does not create new jurisdiction or change student rights.
It clarifies what actions the University can discipline students for, depending on the location of the incident. Under Title IX legislation, the University can discipline students during off-campus incidents if the incidents involve sexual assault or discrimination. While this has always been included in Title IX, the University hadn't explicitly stated in the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities until now.
The changes come in response to a Douglas County Court ruling that said the code was unclear about the jurisdiction of sexual assault and harassment cases. The University will be appealing this ruling before the end of the year.
I have taken action today [Monday] in order to immediately ensure that our authority to enforce Title IX and keep students safe is clear and unambiguous," Gray-Little wrote in a letter to the provost, the vice provost for student affairs and the student body president.
Since the beginning of the sexual assault discussion this semester, the chancellor has been involved in an increased number of discussions about the nature of sexual assaults
on campus and their complexities.
In all instances there were people who were sincerely expressing a concern about the issue and how we're addressing them, so I think they have mostly been expressions of concern and support for things to go well as a university community as a whole;" Gray-Little said.
Gray-Little said these discussions have been mostly informational, but there has been changes within the University to address the concerns, including a review of sexual assault education.
"There have been efforts in Student Affairs through the Provost's office to look at what kind of educational programs will really be helpful," Gray-Little said.
CAMPUS SAFETY
This year campus safety reports included building checks, which will be used to determine what options are viable for complying with the state concealed carry law that will go into effect for public universities in 2017. These reports were presented to the Kansas Board of Regents last week.
"There have been efforts in Student Affairs through the Provost's office to look at what kind of educational programs will really be helpful."
As of right now, the University will have to allow concealed weapons once the exemption ends because the costs of monitoring all of the buildings on campus are too high, unless the Board of Regents takes actions to prevent it, the chancellor said.

Ferguson grand jury decides not to indict Wilson on criminal charges
ALLISON KITE
@Allie_Kite
The Ferguson grand jury decided not to indict Darren Wilson on any criminal charges for the August killing of unarmed teen Michael Brown.
St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCulloch announced the decision shortly after 8 p.m. on Nov. 24 in a statement to the press and public. According to McCulloch, the grand jury decided there was no probable cause to indict Wilson on criminal charges.
Crowds in Ferguson reacted with anger and disappointment while the president and Brown's parents urged protesters to remain peaceful
following the announcement. Live news broadcasts showed protesters throwing objects at law enforcement and trying to turn over a squad car. Around 9 p.m. St. Louis County police confirmed on Twitter that shots were fired near the police department in Ferguson, and later that hour, a police car was set on fire. Police responded by using tear gas, flash bangs and bean bags against protesters.
President Obama addressed the nation shortly after 9 p.m. urging people to remain peaceful in their protest of the announcement.
McCulloch went on to say that the killing of Michael Brown is a tragic loss of life regardless of the circumstances, and encouraged the public to continue the conversation in the hope that a case like this doesn't happen again.
"I urge everybody who's engaged in the conversations, engaged in the demonstrations to keep that going, to stay with that. Not to let that go and to do it in a constructive way — a way that we can profit from this, a way that we can benefit from this by changing the structure, by changing some of the issue, by solving some of the issues that lead to these sorts of things," he said.
"I also appeal to the law enforcement officers in Ferguson to show care and restraint in managing peaceful protests," Obama said.
According to the address, witness accounts described multiple scenarios that varied from one another on multiple points including the placement of Brown's hands despite a commonly held opinion that his hands were above his head in a surrendering pose.
McCulloch said in his statement that he expected many to be disappointed and not agree with the lack of indictment, but that it was the duty of the grand jury to look at the evidence they were given.
"All decisions in the criminal justice system must be determined by the physical and scientific evidence, the incredible testimony corroborated by that evidence — not in response to public outcry or for political expediency," he said.

Maddie Irelan, a member of the rowing team, is the new Student Athlete Advisory Committee senator.
Student athlete fills SAAC vacancy on Student Senate
MIRANDA DAVIS
@MirandaDavisUDK
Maddie Irelan's Wednesdays just got a lot busier.
The sophomore from Dublin, Ohio said Wednesdays are her busiest day of the week. As a member of the University's rowing team, she wakes up at 6 a.m. to run stairs with the team until 8 a.m. Then she has a full day of classes, tutoring and then, in the height of the season, another practice.
As the newly appointed Student Athlete Advisory Committee senator, she can add weekly Student Senate to that list. She is also in charge of community outreach for the Student Athlete Advisory Committee.
"We really want our voice to be heard. There are 500 or so athletes so that's quite a few people, who, we feel, sometimes in the past, our voice hasn't been heard on campus, besides the athletic department," Irelan said.
Before Ireland, the SAAC senate seat was vacant for several years. Irelan said she hopes this will bring better
representation to the student-athlete population.
"I want to find a connection between the people on campus that don't really know about what we're doing over here, and what our lives look like, and the differences in their college experience and our college experience," Irelan said.
Ireland said she heard about the the position through SAAC and Sophia Templin, a University softball player and a journalism school student senator. Templin authored a bill in early November, last cycle, that changes the definition of an excused absence within senate. It now includes athlete-related events like practices, games and mandatory tutoring. The bill passed in committees and full senate.
Templin said there has been little student-athlete involvement over the last decade.
"This has kind of left a visible segment of the student population unrepresented," Templin said when she presented the bill in senate.
Templin said many athletes said they felt blindsided by
last year's student-athlete decision and that many athletes wanted more involvement in Student Senate.
Soon after, Irelan applied for the student-athlete senate seat and was appointed. Nov 19 was her first time at senate. She credits Templin with telling her about the position and asking if she would be interested.
"Maddie is willing to do the dirty work and get involved in senate and think about more than athletics." Templin said. "She represents athletics well."
Ireland said she wanted to get involved in Student Senate because she loved SAAC and what she was able to do within the committee. She also hopes to represent the unique needs and perspective of student athletes, who often don't have a traditional college experience. She hopes to be a liaison between the big issues on campus and the student athletes.
Ireland has been rowing since freshman year of high school, but is involved in much more

Jane McQueeny attends the Kappa

said more than 10 fraternity
members are involved.
A closed hearing took place Monday between Kappa Sigma fraternity and Student Affairs to determine whether it is appropriate to continue interim suspension that began on Sept. 30.
Student affairs to determine suspension status after break
The hearing panel and Tammara Durham, vice provost for Student Affairs, have five days to reach a decision, according to Erinn Barcomb-Peterson, director for news and media relations.
"This is not a final hearing and this hearing will not result in a final outcome of this matter with respect to the fraternity or any individual member," said a letter dated Nov.17 from Joshua Jones, student conduct and community standards coordinator, to Kappa Sigma president Jack Schwartz.
Kappa Sigma Board Members told KUJH News before the hearing that attorney Chuck Schimel is no longer representing the fraternity and they are seeking new representation.
Jane McQueeny, director of Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access, told KUIH News the investigation has taken longer than 60 days because more than 10 people are involved. She said a typical 60-day investigation involves five to 10 people.
In a previous interview with Schwartz, he said 20 members, including himself, had been interviewed so far about what he called an "unsponsored, spontaneous event at the house without any permission that got out of control."
The impromptu event resulted in a report on Sept. 28 of an alleged sexual assault. Investigations have been ongoing.

After the Earth, Energy and Environment Center groundbreaking last week, the University is ready to implement phase one of the Campus Master Plan, which intends to bring together the different districts of the University. The plan would shift the center of campus to allow for new green space, science buildings, an updated Burge Union and more.
Phase one entails the building of a new Earth, Energy and Environment Center, which will be attached to Lindley Hall.
Funded by KU Endowment, the Center will combine geology, petroleum engineering, exploration and environmental science, field, laboratory and analytic experience, scientific research and field applications.
Within the Campus Master Plan is the development of an "Innovation Way," which would lead from Haworth Hall to West Campus, connecting the rest of the sciences with engineering and pharmacy.
Robert Goldstein, associate dean for the Natural Sciences & Mathematics, said changes are already being made. The Center is expected to be finished by August 2017.
vation Way calls for two new integrated science buildings in a complex with a new student service/student union facility," said Kristi Henderson, director of communications in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
These science facilities will be placed on the east slope of Irving Hill, near Stouffer Apartments, providing nearly 400,000 square feet of additional laboratory space campus-wide.
"To have space and facilities that will actually improve the students' experience will be great."
GREG BURG Biology professor

"The new classrooms will look a little different than current ones," Goldstein said. "They will promote learning through different avenues, rather than consisting of professors just lecturing."
Goldstein says classrooms will be more closely blended with faculty research space, and students will interact more with their professors, teaching assistants and graduate teaching assistants.
Greg Burg, professor and director of undergraduate biology, is looking forward to the coming changes.
"I think it's going to give us huge opportunities, especially with our laboratories," Burg said. "To have space and facilities that will actually improve the students' experience will be great."
"The equipment is very outdated," Roberts said, "In my lab, there are only three weigh scales that work. Getting new supplies would help the labs go smoother."
Burg said having upgraded facilities will benefit all of the sciences, especially the ones that have thrived in Malott Hall for so long.
Maddy Roberts is a freshman from Valley Center, taking General Chemistry in Malott.
"Our first priority is to move all [science] programs and activities out of that building [Malott]. There are also plans to renovate Haworth Hall and bring its research space up to 21st century standards," Henderson said. "All options are on the table for Malott Hall once programs currently housed there are moved to integrated science buildings."
To solve issues like these, the plan will include specific plans for Malott.
As the relocation of these sciences begins, many faculty members have expressed their desire to work outside of their disciplines.
As far as student wants and needs, the University has already hosted multiple open forums.
"These professors are really wanting to collaborate, especially through research," Goldstein said.

Open enrollment period for Obamacare begins
Edited by Rob Pyatt
JAMES LAMB
@theiameslamb
In Kansas, the proportion of sign-ups that were in this age bracket was higher at 31 percent; however, there was a smaller proportion of sign-ups in the state overall, with only one in five people registering, lower than the 28 percent national average, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.
"I think that the primary reason [for low enrollments] had to do with lack of information," said Jarron M. Saint Orge, assistant professor of sociology. "I think that young people don't really know what's going on [with Obamacare] and weren't aware of it."
According to a press release from the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services in March, during the first enrollment period between October 2013 and March 2014, about one-quarter of private insurance enrollees nationwide were 18 to 34 years old, short of the goal of 40 percent that had been set by the Obama administration.
The latest period for open enrollment for health insurance required under Obamacare began on Nov. 15. It remains unclear, however, whether or not the program will meet its goals for sign-ups among young people. The goals were not reached during the last enrollment period in late 2013 and early 2014.
Jonathan Gruber, a key Obamacare advisor, spoke at a conference at the University of Pennsylvania in October 2013, and spoke about what he believed to be misinformation surrounding the legislation when it was initially passed in 2010.
"Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage," Gruber said. "Call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical to get the thing to pass."
The revealing of such comments may have lowered any expectations of improving the percentage of sign-ups among young people. When asked whether these comments could further impact Obamacare's failure to meet its goals. Onge said he didn't think it would, believing Gruber's impact to be limited.
Onge said there are two competing considerations: whether or not you agree with health care, and whether or not you need health care. He said a lot of people who don't like Obamacare are still signing up for it because they ultimately need it. However, he said he thinks basic ignorance impacted the first enrollment and that people didn't necessarily know about the penalty for failing to sign up.
Failing to sign up for health insurance of any kind may lead to a tax penalty under the Affordable Care Act, but some maintain that the government has no place in health insurance at all.
HAYDEN KLEPPER Freshman from St. Louis
"I'm glad people have health care now but I don't think this was the right way to do it."
Hayden Klepper, a freshman from St. Louis, did not signup for Obamacare. He said he can currently afford his own health insurance, and that he is attached to his parents' plan.
"That's what I believe could have been done," he said. "Businesses can solve the problem better than the government ever could."
"I don't support any sort of universal health care, I'm a libertarian," Klepper said. "I think the way we have it right now, the mix between the really left and really right [wing] policies is really backwards and we need to figure it out. I'm glad people have health care now but I don't think this was the right way to do it."
Klepper said if minimum wage was lower, businesses could afford to hire more people and give them more benefits.

UNC ACADEMIC SCANDAL
An investigation of the University of North Carolina found widespread academic fraud that happened during Gray-Little's time as provost and executive vice chancellor. She has said in previous statements that she had no knowledge of the fraud while it was happening.
"I think it's something that we should learn something from. Not to take things for granted." Gray-Little said.
The chancellor said the scandal was fortunate, but that she is not currently involved in reparations or any lawsuits. She said it was a reminder to all universities to stay alert to the possibility that it could happen anywhere.

University policy sets few limits on student protests
CHANDLER BOESE
@Chandler_Boeese
This semester, the University has seen a variety of on-campus protest methods, from sitting demonstrations to yelling at passsby to interrupting classes in masks. The University, which has a policy for public assembly on campus, has few restrictions on protest methods.
According to the University's Policy on Public Assembly Areas, all protests must take place outside and cannot impede traffic or disturb class activities. Assemblies must obey all normal University rules, like respecting the activities of Facilities Operations and the policies of KU Parking. The only restriction on how the protests express themselves is that signs cannot have sticks attached to them. If protesters follow all of these rules, the University cannot interfere in their assembly.
However, if an organization does not respect the rules, the policy states, "The University reserves the right to reschedule, re-locate or disburse an Assembly when: a group has not compiled with this policy; the Assembly cannot be reasonably and safely accommodated at the requested location; or the Assembly conflicts with the scheduled operations of the University or a previously registered Assembly."
Gregory Leung, a senior from Hong Kong, said, "Personally, it's not (a) problem for me having people protesting on campus as long as it's
This policy defines an "assembly" as two or more people working together and gathering on University property. An individual is not required to register with the University Events committee and is free to express himself or herself, as long as it does not interfere with University operations or other scheduled assembles.
The policy also states that public assemblies like protests are classified as events, and, as such, must be reported to the University Events Committee. Once the event registration is turned in, approval is implied, unless a student or organization is told otherwise by the University Events Committee.
Also listed are the designated areas that campus or external organizations can use to protest.
not violent or causing major inconvenience to the students and public"
According to the policy, there are a number of locations, such as the Kansas Union Plaza, Wescoe Beach and some of the large lawns along Jayhawk Boulevard (Watson Library/Fraser Hall Lawn, Stauffer-Flint Lawn, Lawn adjacent to Wescoe) that are only available for campus and student organizations to assemble on. Other areas less central to the main campus, like west lawn of Robinson Gymnasium or the northwest corner of 13th and Oread, are available to external as well as campus organizations.

Marijuana dispensaries woo holiday shoppers
KRISTEN WYATT
Associated Press
That's not mistletoe.
From new marijuana strains for the holidays to gift sets and pot-and-pumpkin pies, the burgeoning marijuana industry in Colorado is scrambling to get a piece of the holiday shopping dollar. Dispensaries in many states have been offering holiday specials for medical customers for years — but this first season of open-to-all-adults marijuana sales in some states means pot shops are using more of the tricks used by traditional retailers to attract holiday shoppers.
Here's a look at how the new recreational marijuana industry is trying to attract holiday shoppers:
OLL-FASHIONED DUOBUSTERS Traditional retailers sell some items below cost to

drive traffic and attract sales. Recreational marijuana retailers are doing the same.
The Grass Station in Denver is selling an ounce of marijuana for $50 — about a fifth of the cost of the next-cheapest strain at the Colorado dispensary — to the first 16 customers in line Friday, Saturday and Sunday. That works out to less than $1 a joint for the ambitious early-rising pot shopper. Owner Ryan Fox says his Black Friday pot is decent quality, and says he's selling below cost to attract attention and pick up some new customers. As Colorado dispensaries approach a year of being able to sell weed to all adults over 21, not just card-carrying medical patients, Fox says retailers have to do more than just sell pot to get public attention.
Pot shops are using old and new media to tout the sales. One dispensary is taking out
a full-page "Happy Danksgiving" ad in The Denver Post and is inviting shoppers to text a code for extra savings.
VISIONS OF SUGAR PLUMS
VISIIONS OF SUGAR PLUMS
Sweets and marijuana seem to go together like hot chocolate and marshmallows.
Many dispensaries this time of year resemble a Starbucks at the mall, with holiday spices and festive music in the air. One of the state's largest edible-pot makers, Sweet Grass Kitchen, debuted a new miniature pumpkin pie that delivers about as much punch as a medium-sized joint. The pie joins holiday-spiced teas, minty pot confections and cannabis-infused honey oil for those who want to bake their own pot goodies at home. Even some edibles makers that specialize in savory foods, not sweets, are putting out some sugary items for the holidays.

During the season, Ireland said the team practices 20 hours a week, similar to a part-time job. She is often gone on the weekends, competing and sometimes misses Friday classes for competitions. Ireland said the rowing team is in season both fall and spring, but practices are reduced during the winter when they don't compete.
Ireland said adjusting to the required level of time management was a shock at first. Many of her days are completely scheduled out, with time for practice, class, tutoring. meals, homework and getting enough sleep.
"Your whole life is just scheduled out for you," Irean said.
Ireland said most of her spare time is spent with the people she cares about, making Skype dates with her family in Ohio or going on coffee shop excursions with her friends.
The rowing team has been a large part of her KU experience, and Iranian has no relatives close by.

We are student athletes, but we're also a part of the student body just like anyone else."

Black Friday has negative consequences
By Victoria Calderon
@WriterVictoriaC
Today, Thanksgiving is known not just for food, family and football, but also for the massive commercial holiday after: Black Friday. Consumers can swarm stores and mindlessly throw their money to major multimillion-dollar corporations across the country in order to get deals on electronics and other big-ticket items. One can buy a brand new flat-screen TV for more than 50 percent off or the newest One Direction album for next to nothing.
To vamp up competition among the biggest retailers in the United States, businesses like Wal-Mart and Amazon are beginning their deals on
certain items before Black Friday, according to ConsumerReports.org. Many corporate giants will even be opening their doors to sale-seekers Thanksgiving evening. These early Black Friday deals encourage fanaticism among savvy consumers. If you have ever been to a superstore on Black Friday, you know that shoppers have to be aggressive to get the products they want. Something few people consider, as they fight to grab the last iPad Air from the shelf, is the safety of the employees who are working hard to serve the needs of the chaotic crowds.
Wal-Mart is one of several chains across the country notorious for beginning its Black Friday sales Thanksgiving evening, or "Black Thursday." One incident in 2008 involving Wal-Mart resulted in the death of an employee. The corporation fought off the $7,000 penalty for five years following the case, according to the Huffington Post.
"Sitting on appeal with a review commission, the case of Jdimytal Damour's death highlights how corporations can choose to fend off modest penalties over workplace dangers for years on end," said Huffington Post writer Dave Jamieson.
Clearly the problem with Wal-Mart on Black Friday extends far beyond proper compensation for its employees — its workers' lives are at risk simply for doing their job. If Damour's tragedy is any indication, it will even refuse to pay what is considered pocket change to a big company to atone for its poor handling of the situation.
In order to avoid further accidents like the one in 2008, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration has made several recommendations for this year: "Each store's crowd management plan should include on-site security guards, barricades for customers as they wait to enter the store, an explanation of how they can enter the store safely, limits on how many customers can enter the store, and an emergency plan for when something goes wrong," Tim Devaney reported on The Hill.
In addition to the physical hazards that could occur, employees also have to deal with the stress of handling
hundreds of customers at once. Employees are put under even more pressure when customers get frantic or angry over a product they can't find.
over a product they can't miss. As a college student, I appreciate being able to buy things I want for an affordable price. Black Friday might sound worth dealing with other aggressive customers and claustrophobic crowds. However, it's not worth putting the store workers in harm's way — and giving money to corporations that do little for their employees — just for a Bluetooth speaker or some DVDs.

Climate agreement will bring disagreement
By Gabrielle Murnan
@GabrielleKansan
Word has gotten out that President Barack Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping are ready to kick some climate change butt. You read correctly: The leaders of the world's largest carbon dioxide producers are ready to get busy on emission reductions. I had to excuse myself from public view when I heard the news because, to quote a valley girl, "I, like, totally freaked out." My valley girl moment ended when reading the details of the agreement
between China and the United States, along with the opposing arguments of the GOP. The stage has been set for a political war over what has become one of the most politicized scientific findings in history.
If all goes as planned, the agreement will place the United States in a position to reduce carbon emissions by 26-28 percent by 2025. The agreement allows China to peak emissions by 2030 and then begin emission reductions. In the meantime. China will pursue 20 percent alternative energies by 2025, according to the New York Times.
Right off the bat, the GOP had its first argument handed to it. These numbers beg the question, why should the U.S. conform to strict environmental regulations and let China continue polluting until 2030? Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell was the first to criticize the agreement, saying it "requires the Chinese to do nothing at all for 16 years while these carbon emissions regulations create havoc in my state and other states around the country." According to the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), climate change will create even more havoc than regulations, especially for the United States' most impoverished populations, Mitch.
There are arguments that the reduction of carbon emissions will destroy the economy. A statement released by Ed Whitfield, Chairman of the House Energy and Power Subcommittee, states "... a
lame-duck president is working to stack the deck against American jobs, wage increases and affordable energy. Our top priority must be jobs and the economy plain and simple." According to the Department of Energy's Natural Renewable Energy Lab alternative energy jobs create more jobs per dollar invested than traditional electricity jobs while keeping dollars local through investment in indigenous resources.
Despite the GOP's arguments, climate change policy entrepreneurs now have the biggest advantage in history. For years, deniers of climate change have relied on the argument that what we do in America will make no difference if other global leaders continue to pollute, particularly China. Well guess what,
guys? The leading producer of carbon dioxide in the world just got serious about climate change. Whether China's emission reductions begin tomorrow or in 15 years, its pledge to tackle the climate is worth more than any other statement, speech or study about climate change. So far, arguments about protecting America's most vulnerable populations and the power of alternative energy have not convinced the GOP to act on climate change. Maybe fears of China outpacing the U.S. in sustainability and alternative innovations will give the GOP a much needed shove toward action.

Awareness, caution around coyotes necessary
By Jenny Stern
@jenlikeswhales
Halloween passed a while ago, but howling at the moon is projected to become more frequent. Recently, Lawrence residents have not only noticed an increase in coyote numbers, but also a change in their appearance and timing. Usually confined to the night, coyotes now have been spotted around town as early as 3 p.m., according to residents of the Lawrence Western Hills neighborhood. Prairie Park Nature Center has even received reports of "wolves" in Lawrence.
the most recent sighting
of wolves in Kansas came in 2013, when coyote hunters killed a "large male canine" that turned out to be a wolf, according to the Topeka Capital-Journal. According to the Kansas Department of Wildlife, this was the first sighting of a wolf in Kansas since 1905. Most of the reported sightings are actually coyotes, which can sometimes be confused with wolves. If in doubt, the Denver Animal Control has a simple method for telling coyotes from wolves and dogs, stating that "the coyote will run with their tails down. A wolf will run with its tail straight out and a dog will run with their tail up."
Increased interaction with humans or the hybridization of domestic dogs with coyotes will result in more socialized animals, according to the
Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection. To reduce socialization of coyotes, do not leave food out during the night for outdoor pets, which may attract them. Colorado Parks & Wildlife warns those in Colorado not to walk with small children or animals in certain areas because of aggressive coyote behavior. According to Colorado Division of Wildlife spokeswoman Jennifer Churchill, coyotes typically bite only one person per year along the Front Range. Since 2008, however, 10 people have suffered bites from coyotes, as reported by the High Country News in 2010. The California Integrated Pest Management Program outlines aggressive behaviors in coyotes in graded steps from 1-7. A coyote acting aggressively toward
adults in mid-day is the seventh stage in the progression
enth stage in the progression. Lawrence may be seeing intermediate signs of an increased coyote population. The third stage, which Lawrence is currently in, is spotting coyotes on streets, in parks and yards during the early morning/late afternoon. The next stage is coyotes attacking or taking pets on leashes, as well as chasing joggers and bicyclists. Pedestrians should take extra caution when walking their pets at night or letting them outside.
With increased construction in Lawrence, local coyotes have fewer places to find food, causing them to venture into the city. Due to habitat degradation and the coming winter, coyotes could start targeting pets and other small creatures for a meal.
thereby drawing the coyotes to suburban neighborhoods. Supporting further construction in Lawrence near wildlife habitats will only exasperate this problem. Although destruction of their habitat has already occurred, in the future we should be more conscious of the effects construction has on coyote behavior.
It is our responsibility to take preventative measures to ensure that the coyote population does not get out of hand. Be careful with pets, do not attract coyotes by leaving food outside your house and remain conscious about how construction projects may affect your local ecosystems.

Alumna artist shares how art and surroundings integrate
'CHRONIC CITY'

@minseonkim94
Karen Matheis, a University alumna. poses with her art. Her series, Chronic City, captures the thrill she had when she first listened to punk music.
Chronic City
Karen Mathels
Karen Matheis finds inspiration in the environment around her, such as the highways she takes during her drive to work in Kansas City, Mo. Her new art series, titled Chronic City, draws on that inspiration. Matheis, a University alumna from Overland Park, said she started drawing highways and roadscapes after getting inspired on a ride back home on swirly highways from her friends' art opening in Kansas City, Mo.
+
"Oftentimes I'll be driving down and I'll have a visual memory because it's the same highway that I go on," Matheis said. "That visual memory always sees its way into my work."
Matheis does not draw with a photograph or use planar figures for drawing, but rather works with abstract visual concepts in her memory. She said she wanted to capture in the Chronic City series the thrill she had when she first listened to punk music when she was young in the early 80s.
"Because it's a memory, it's abstracted from the original, it's more like a feeling of how things are, feeling of moving through space," Matheis said. "Sometimes it looks like an aerial view but it's really how I am feeling as I am moving through the space."
MINSEON KIM/KANSAN
The series is on display at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 New Hampshire St., in downtown Lawrence. The exhibit opened Nov. 14, and will be available until Jan. 5, 2015. For this specific series, she had a reason why she picked a space with windows around in the Lawrence Arts Center. Her artworks from the Chronic City series reflects the architecture around the space and emphasizes her viewpoint on integrating the arts with the surrounding area. Her purpose was to allow people to look in at her artworks from the outside, but also allow them to look outside while viewing the artwork from the inside.
and because of the way she is using the space as a medium for what's going on in the museum."
Karen Matheis' art series, Chronic City, is on display in the Lawrence Arts Center until Jan. 5, 2015.
"She was very deliberate with her choice of work for that space." Ahlvers said. "It faces the street so the paintings are viewable from the outside of the building as well. Her exhibit made a lot of sense for that space, because of the subject matter
Ahlvers has been familiar with Matheis' work for a few years since it has been in the Lawrence Arts Center before. He said as a curator and an artist, it is nice to watch other artists evolve and grow in their artwork. He said how Matheis' Chronic City series shifted from her other serene landscape works to more urban and active paintings.
Ben Ahlvers, the exhibition program director at the Lawrence Art Center, said he and the committee responded positively to Matheis' proposal in bringing her artworks into the space for her exhibition.

"If I am not creating, it's almost like when you miss a workout or something at the gym."

"She has got more energy than probably most of us," Ahlvers said. "She is a mother, she is a teacher and she is an artist. She is doing a lot and she is doing it all the time. So I have a lot of respect for that."
Matheis said she feels better after she creates, and that she really has a need to do so.
"If I am not creating, it's almost like when you miss a workout or something at the gym," she said. "I feel like that is my mental workout. I have to do it."
WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR BIGGEST SUCCESS?
WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR BIGGEST SUCCESS?
Well, two years ago I had a big show called "Body of Work" and I pulled together some of the best artists in town. So I curated my first big show and that was exciting. I felt like that was really an accomplishment. It was a lot of work. We had a lot of workshops, and we got some people to model for us, we had figure drawing in the room. I would say that I was very proud of that achievement.
WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR BIGGEST FAILURE?
It's funny. You know what, I don't think of things as failures. I think of them as, yeah I don't really think of things, I mean this is always, this is my happy place doing art, you know. So that's my answer that, I don't think of things as failures, I think of them as opportunities. So even if something doesn't work out, even within a painting, simplifying that, sometimes what you think is a failure actually is an asset. You can learn from it or use that in some way to help you.
WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED that YOU WISH YOU KNEW WHILE YOU WERE STILL A STUDENT?
To stay very disciplined. To learn how to be disciplined. I wish I would have been more disciplined when I was younger. So, sticking to a schedule, having a certain amount of hours put into your work every week. And then the other thing to give advice to is, make it fun. Make it your fun. Because if it's work, it's going to feel like work. Make it so it isn't work. That this is your time to spend with yourself exploring. Easier said than done when you are in school. Because you have deadlines and stuff. But if you could do that it would be great.

BizBaz returns this weekend for 26th year
DELANEY REYBURN
Held annually on Thanksgiving weekend, Lawrence brings back the Bizarre Bazaar for its 26th year. Known as "BizBaz," this Bazaar shows off various goods from more than 100 artists, in addition to a bake sale and over 20 live performances held on two stages.
@DelaneyReyburn
Part of the artists' requirement in the Bazaar is to contribute an item to the bake sale. The money raised is then put toward the renting of the facility for the next year's Bazaar. In terms of entertainment, visitors can expect to see a variety of local performers from belly dancers to accordion soloists, and much more. Admission is free.
The artists who participate in the Bazaar are picked by a first-come, first-served process. Co-chair of the BizBaz Debi Taylor said this year the spaces filled in only a day and a half, about twice as fast as
last year.
last year.
BizBaz takes place at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 New Hampshire St., from 5 to 9 p.m. on Friday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday. It is made possible by a group of committee heads referred to as the BBC, or BizBaz Committee.
The BizBaz Committee is overseen by two co-chairs, both University alumni; Taylor, who has been on the board for about 10 years, and Marsene Feldt. The two have worked together along with the committee to put together the Bazaar.
Taylor, who resides in Lawrence, said her and Feldt share many responsibilities as cochairs of the BizBaz. Taylor said her favorite part about being a co-chair is that there are so many people covering every little detail.
"Everything is divided up, the weight isn't on anybody particularly but it's a joint effort with everyone pulling their weight. I love that." Tav-
lor said.
Taylor said what she loves most about the Bizarre Bazaar itself, outside of planning, comes at the end of the show, when the artists can actually trade with one another.
"As the shopping day goes on and you as an artist see art that you are just dying to have a piece of, you can say 'I'm interested in your stuff and I'm over here at this booth and if I have anything you're interested in, I would love to trade; " Taylor said.
"We do try to push the limits of encouraging people to step outside of the box and do something that is a little more obscure that you may not be able to have at a different show." Taylor said.
The name Bizarre Bazaar describes quite a bit in and of itself. Taylor said some of the art on display is on the bizarre side while some is more conventional.
One of the artists, Kathleen Havward from Lawrence.
WHERE: Lawrence Arts Center, 940 New Hampshire St.
WHEN: Friday, Nov. 28 5-9 p.m. and Saturday, Nov. 29 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.
COST: Free Admission
will be displaying her unique beaded jewelry and mixed media wind chimes made from upcycled and found materials.
She became interested in "made objects" while working as an industrial photographer in the 1980s. Although she is still involved in photography, she decided to pursue jewelry making in 1999.
"I have been creating art and unique crafts for most of my life," Hayward said. "My thoughts of wind and sound intersected with man-made items that evolved into the design of unique wind chimes for outdoor settings."
the Bazaar for eight years. She does most of her work in her home studio and takes custom orders, offering design services to meet the needs of her clients.
Hayward has participated in
The Bizarre Bazaar was started 26 years ago by a group of "founding mothers." Taylor said this group of women all wanted to sell their art but didn't have the money or enough pieces to get into big shows.
"One of the founding mothers invited those artists to come to her house and that's where the first BizBaz happened," Taylor said. "All their friends came, they had their show, traded and had gift giving for the holidays."
Taylor said about three or four of the women are still in the show this year. The first Bazaar took place the Saturday after Thanksgiving, and that is the way it has remained for 26 years.

Untouched lingerie ads lead to increase in sales for American Eagle

Aerie, and its sister store American Eagle, made the bold move to abandon the use of photoshop on the lingerie models in advertisements. The stores started the #aerieReal campaign at the beginning of this year, which encourages women to embrace their bodies as they are.

RACHEL GETTING MARRIED Anne Hathaway proves it only takes one bad egg of a family member to ruin the joyous occasion of a wedding in this masterful, cinema-verite-style drama. Kym (Hathaway) comes home from drug rehab for her sister's wedding, but as she draws attention away from the bride and onto herself, tragic and unresolved issues stir back up.
Victoria's Secret, a brand that is notorious for featuring unrealistic depictions of what is sexy, glowing models in its advertisements, has also made recent changes to its advertisements as a result of consumer criticism. The company was scrutinized for its "The Perfect Body" campaign, which was released earlier this month and featured 10 flawless supermodels.

pushed back, creating a petition for Victoria's Secret to change the ad and apologize, which received over 27,000 signatures. Without releasing any sort of statement, Victoria's Secret quietly changed the ad slogan to "A Body for Every Body," still featuring the same 10 perfect models, in hopes of silencing critics. Posters for "The Perfect Body" still remain in stores, however.
Since its beginning, advertising has been used to swindle and sway target audiences into buying their product by triggering something in its customers, or victims, on a subconscious level. Clothing and lingerie companies feature perfect, airbrushed models in their advertisements so that when a woman views it, she feels compelled to buy their product so that she, too, can look like the perfect woman in the ad.
As advertisements become increasingly sexualized, adolescent girls especially vulnerable to the pressures society inflicts regarding body image are most at risk. The objectification of womens' bodies, which is enforced by such advertisements, is a big factor in sexual assault cases, an issue that has been prominent at our University this year. Of course, advertising is not the reason for sexual assault and violence; however, advertising does play a role in contributing to the negative image of women in our culture.
While advertisers are held responsible for the images, techniques and language used in advertisements, we, the consumers, can encourage more realistic ads that revert the social constructs advertising has created.

Coach Clint Bowen rallies the team after the loss to TCU on Nov. 15. Kansas will face Kansas State Saturday.
Bowen: Effort not the problem in loss to OU
STELLA LIANG
@stelly_liang
It's rivalry week for Kansas and also the last game of the season. It also marks coach Clint Bowen's last performance to show whether he should earn the permanent job.
Ahead of this Saturday's matchup with Kansas State, Bowen said in the weekly Big 12 teleconference that games with the Wildcats have always stood out to him.
"To the people in the state of Kansas, this is obviously a big game, this is an in-state school and an in-state rival, and through the years there have been a lot of great matchups, some stories and some histories behind it," Bowen said. "I remember all of my games playing in it; they were all fun games to play in."
K-State has more on the line in this meeting. At 6-1 in the conference, the Wildcats are
tied for the Big 12 lead with Baylor and TCU, and want to keep pace heading into their finale against Baylor.
The Jayhawks' last victory against the Wildeats was on Nov.1, 2008, in Lawrence.
Oklahoma running back Samaje Perine had a huge game against Kansas on Saturday. His 427 yards set a NCAA record, and he scored five touchdowns, but Bowen said his defense's effort was not lacking. He was more critical of the team's fundamentals, especially with not being in the right gaps at the right times.
"We talked about that on Sunday and really didn't feel as though effort was the problem," Bowen said. "I thought our kids played with effort. I don't think we played real smart. ... We didn't really play well fundamentally."
take away from the freshman running back's performance and had nothing but praise when talking about Perine.
"He does have legitimate speed; he can go." Bowen said. "But the bigger thing I think he has is a very quick burst .. he's able to stick a foot in the ground and get downhill in a hurry."
Despite saying his defense had a poor performance, Bowen said he didn't want to
Bowen walked on at Kansas two times, once out of high school and once after attending Butler County Community College. He said he respects walk-ons because they have to earn their spot on the field with their play.
"Through my years, due to my experiences, [I've] had a spot for walk-ons in my heart and understand the trials and tribulations that they go through," Bowen said. "It's a different path than a scholarship kid. It's more challenging. There's a lot more factors to it."

THE DAILY DEBATE
Should Bowen remain head coach next season?
By Austin Wagoner
@awagoner23
"NO"
Cint Bowen loves Jayhawk football. There are anecdotes floating around campus and articles about his passion for the football team. There's no doubt that he has breathed life back into a program that has been dormant for half a decade and that the TCU game was something to be admired. Deep down I want him to stay, but I don't think he's the answer right now.
It goes without saying that recruiting and development are important in starting to turn this program around. The University of Kansas football team needs someone who has had success in a pipeline state and has credibility in order to convince talented high school seniors to come in and turn this football program around.
Coach Bowen has been with the program for 19 years and, to be honest, his dedication to the Kansas organization puts him at a disadvantage
when trying to convince players from Texas, Florida, or California to come play for the Jayhawks. I think he could sell the love for Lawrence and the University better than any other coach in the country, but unfortunately that's all the program has to offer.
The Kansas Football team needs a coach who has had success. This doesn't necessarily mean success as a head coach. The past two coaches that Dr. Zenger has hired have been head coaches at other universities and both experiments ended poorly.
Look down the road at Kansas State. They hired Bill Snyder after he spent several successful years as an offensive coordinator. When he arrived the Wildcats were historically bad. He arguably made one of the biggest turn arounds in college football history. That is what Kansas football needs right now.
He had a chance to take the job with a good showing against Oklahoma in Norman but his defense let Samaje Perine scamper all over the field for an NCAA
record 427 yards with five touchdowns. Those aren't the kind of records that Kansas football needs to be a part of.
I hope that coach Bowen gets the job down the road. He deserves to be the head coach of this football team in the future. However, he needs to venture out and get some more experience and he needs to have some more success. His love for this football program isn't enough for the kind of improvement that it needs to begin competing in the Big 12.
Bowen's last chance to make a solid argument to be hired full time will come this Saturday as the Jayhawks face the Kansas State Wildcats. If Bowen wants to make a statement, I hope he makes it this Saturday.

"YES"
By Griffin Hughes
@GriffinJHughes
You could call Clint Bowen's 1-5 start as the interim head coach of the Kansas Jayhawk football team a little rocky.
In the same way you could call the Great Sand Dunes of Colorado a little hilly.
But the man stepped into a situation that would have, and has, scared off some of the top coaches in the country. He pulled the team together, got the Jayhawks' first conference win since last season and even competed so hard against then-No. 4 TCU that the Jayhawks knocked them out of the top four in the rankings. Bowen has done so much in so little time, it would do irreparable harm to the program to drop him.
Bowen is a players' coach and a defensive mastermind, and his unique blend of youthful activeness and defensive tenacity has shone through several times.
It certainly showed in the
near win versus then-No. 16 Oklahoma State, who needed a kick return touchdown late in the fourth to down the Jayhawks. It showed against Iowa State, who was the first team to fall to Bowen's squad. And it most definitely showed against TCU, who fell into the trap game at Memorial Stadium and barely escaped with a win.
Bowen seems to have infused a new attitude into the team, which has scored 14 or more points in all but one contest. I didn't think Bowen could lead the seemingly hopeless offense to more than 25 points ever again this season. He did it twice, and he scored 30 on the No. 35-ranked scoring defense in the country that allows just 23 points per game.
Michael Cummings, who has thrown for over 1,500 yards for the first time in his career after stepping in as the full-time starter in Bowen's first game, is also returning next year. Why would you remove Bowen when he's clearly found whatever makes the junior from Texas click? He's gotten better every game he's
played, and although he took a step back against Oklahoma, that can't overshadow what has been a marvelous season for Cummings.
And it's all because Bowen figured out how to use him and his offensive pieces.
we haven't seen Bowen as a recruiter yet — besides any roles he played in bringing in guys like Ben Heeney and Dexter McDonald to Lawrence — but there's nothing to make me think he wouldn't be a fantastic recruiter. He absolutely adores Lawrence and the University of Kansas; he's a hometown boy and refers to his position as a dream job. He's been a KU coach for 16 years. He knows the program better than just about anyone. Young recruits will buy into his vision and his passion, and they'll be drawn to Lawrence.
It's a match made in heaven. Bowen is the man who can lead the University of Kansas, one of the worst football programs in the country, down a new path. Why would we not give him that chance?

Conference work not yet finished for Kansas volleyball
MATT CORTE
@Corte UDK
Kansas volleyball is trending in the right direction at the perfect time. The team has won four out of its last five Big 12 matches, and with just two conference games left, the layhawks still have an opportunity to place in the top 3 of the Big 12 — an important spot to be in before tournament selection.
In order to do that, they'll have to come away victorious against both of the following teams this week.
time around.
WEST VIRGINIA (15-13, 5-9)
Kansas has already defeated the Mountainers in Morgantown, but the Jayhawks might face a tougher opponent this
It may be against only two teams, but West Virginia has its longest conference winning streak of the season with consecutive wins and sweeps over Baylor and Texas Tech.
Leading the way offensively for the Mountaineers will most likely be sophomore outside hitter Jordan Anderson. She currently leads the conference in kills per set in Big 12 play with 4.48 per set, and is second in points per set at 4.87.
Where West Virginia will have a problem against Kansas is defense, as the Mountaineers are last in the Big 12 in opponents hitting percentage. What this means for the Jayhawks is usually more open hitting lanes, leading to less digs for
West Virginia. This adds up, as the Mountaineers are last in digs per set in conference action as well.
OKLAHOMA (19-9, 9-5)
Kansas players have most likely had this rematch circled on the calendar for a long time. In the first match of the Big 12 season, Kansas opened play by winning the first two sets against Oklahoma, but were shocked as the Sooners made a 3-0 set comeback to win the match.
Now more polished and meshing better than ever as a team, the Jayhawks have a great chance at returning the favor.
The one player Kansas will have to stop is Oklahoma outside hitter Kierra Holst.
leads the Big 12 in both points per set (4.99) and aces per set (4.6), while being second in kills per set at 4.37.
Even if the Jayhawks are able to hold her, still expect an offensive showdown in this match. Both Kansas and Oklahoma are first and second in kills per set respectively, and both also place in the top four conference teams in hitting percentage. An important phase of the game the Jayhawks hold an advantage in is blocking, and it could be the determinant of who wins the match. While Kansas is third in conference action with 2.55 blocks per set, Oklahoma is last in the Big 12 and only blocks 1.81 per set.

COMMENTARY
Kansas cools off in second half against Rider
By Ben Carroll
@bcarroll91
Kansas basketball looked impressive in the first half against Rider Monday night, but struggled coming out of the gates in the second half. Slugish play might work against a MAAC team like Rider, but if the No. 11 Jayhawks play that way against a tougher team, like their next matchup, Florida on Dec. 3, they will struggle mightily.
If Kansas wants to stay afloat the top-25 in the rankings and the Big 12 standings, it will need to play both halves as well as it did in the first half of Monday night's 87-60 victory over the Rider Broncs. If the Jayhawks fail to do so, the No. 18 Florida Gators will walk into Lawrence unfazed, as well as leave the big guns in the Big 12, Texas and Iowa State, with not much to worry about either.
With Bill Self changing up the starting five at the start of the game, sophomore forward Landen Lucas got his first-career start. He finished up his first-half play recording six points and three rebounds. Sophomore guard Wayne Selden Jr. showed his heightened ability to distribute the ball with seven first-half assists, and freshman forward Cliff Alexander added a 9-0 run of his own including an alley-oop off a pass from one of Selden's many assists.
“[We were] playing the score as opposed to playing the possession,” Self said. “You should play to win every possession, good teams do that.”
When the Jayhawks ran off the court into locker room for halftime, they had a commanding 51-22 lead. 20 minutes later, they were outscored by two points, 36-38, and outrebounded 21-15, watching their lead slim down.
"That's the best half of basketball we've played this year," coach Bill Self said. "The first half I thought we were on point in most areas. The whole team was definitely a step slower the second half."
Mykhaiiliuk and Alexander didn't drop a single bucket in the second half, Ellis only supplied an additional six points and snagged only one more board. Selden only added two more assists and failed to score in either half.
Freshman guard Sviatoslav Mykhalliuk contributed 10 points of his own in the first 20 minutes, including two shots from the behind the arc. Junior forward Perry Ellis stepped up with 11 points, going a perfect 5-for-5 from the free-throw line.
"We just kind of stopped and we took our foot off the gas," junior forward Perry Ellis said. "We have to learn that we have to complete the full game to become a better team."
If Kansas' second half woes continue, it could be the first time in 10 years they don't win the Big 12 title.
We will just have to wait and see if Kansas can keep it up for the entire game against Rhode Island on Thanksgiving.

Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk emerges in win over Rider
In the early weeks of this Kansas basketball season, the layhawks have been struggling to find their "go-to-guy." No.11 Kansas (2-1) may have found him in 17-year old Ukrainian Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk.
Kansas guard Wayne Selden puts up a shot over Rider defender Teddy Okeaeor in the second half of play on Monday night. Selden finished the game scoreless, but had a game high 9 assists on the night.
Mykhailiuk got his second start of the year against Rider, and had his strongest performance to date, leading Kansas to an 87-60 win over the Rider Broncs (2-2) on Monday at Allen Fieldhouse. His play was highlighted by a diving save on a loose ball, a play that would end in a Mykhailiuk layup. The freshman guard finished with 10 points on 57-percent shooting to along with a team-high five rebounds and two assists.

provided the energy for the Jayhawks, who bounced back strong with a much-needed victory after a 32-point loss to Kentucky on Nov.18.
"He's (Mykhaliuk) going to be a great shooter," coach Bill Self said. "It may be because of the European ball, but he's our best guy at moving the ball."
"We were ready to get out there and get after it," junior forward Perry Ellis said. "We needed to get our confidence back up."
Kansas' big men were dominant early on, scoring 20 of the team's first 27 points. Lucas added a quick four points while Ellis scored six, including four free throws. Freshman forward Cliff Alexander put up ten big points off the bench in only 13 minutes of play, going 4-for-4 from the field with four boards to match, including a 9-0 run by himself.
He may not have scored, but his presence was certainly clear, "leading Kansas to a strong first half. Selden Jr. took only one shot, but helped Kansas shoot 66.7 percent from the field and lead 51-22 heading into halftime.
Not afraid to launch from long-range, Mykhailluk leads Kansas with 12 3-point field goal attempts and is tied for the team lead with three. He made two of his five attempts on Monday night.

Fueled by Mykhaliliuk, Kansas exploded off the tip in its second home game of the season Monday night. Sophomore forward Landon Lucas got his first career start and
"We need to continue to keep getting better and better and do what we need to do."
The Jayhawks got off to a slower start offensively in the second half, but that wasn't due to a lack of effort. Selden started the second half running the point with Alexander and Ellis down low.
Sophomore guard Wayne Selden Jr. was controlling the floor for most of the first half, as he racked up seven assists.
"We had 13 post touches in the first half, we had zero against Kentucky," Self said. "We've always been a low-to-high team."
"To be candid, it was lack of maturity," Self said on the slow second half start. "But that first half was our best half of basketball we played all season."
Ellis continued his stable play in the second half as he tied for the lajhawks lead in scoring. Ellis shot 83 percent from the field on 5-for-6 shooting and sank seven of ten from the line.
Kansas spread the ball well against Rider, as the Jayhawks combined for 22 team assists. Selden's assist numbers slowed down in the second half, but he still finished with a team-high nine assists.

Freshman Chayla Cheadle drives the ball down the court against Georgetown during Sunday's win. Kansas will face lone Wednesday.
BROOK BARNES/KANSAN
The Kansas women's basketball team will play in its sixth game of the season Wednesday night against the Iona Gaels in Allen Fieldhouse.
Iona is led by senior guard Damika Martinez, who has already scored 103 points this season, averaging 25.8 a game. She is the key player to watch for the Gaels.
The Jayhawks finally found their identity last weekend, playing against three teams with different offenses.
"Coming out of the first game and our struggles defensively," coach Bonnie Henrickson said after Sunday's game. "I think we filled the lane better, we forced people to make an extra pass, we were more disruptive, forced some secondary offense and some bad shots at the rim."
The Jayhawks finally have a defense that's ready to take on Iona's steady offense. After this weekend, the freshmen were able to adapt quickly to the fast-paced style and learn key concepts.
"I think what [three games in three days] did for us, you know, especially with so many young kids, to kind of put them in situations that they haven't been in and see how they respond to it a little bit," Henrickson said. "The good thing is that! I feel like we've gotten better in the three games and [have]
gotten some experience."
gotten some experience.
Along with winning the three-game slate, the Jayhawks have also overcome the fatigue the fast-paced tournament brought them.
"Having three games in three days is a tough thing," senior forward Chelsea Gardner said. "But just finding energy and getting momentum played into what helped us for this game (against Georgetown on Sunday)."
Being able to play tired last weekend will be an advantage to the Jayhawks once they're fully rested against Iona on Wednesday.
Kansas (4-1) comes into this match with the better record than the 1-3 Gaels.
In Kansas' last game against Georgetown, the Jayhawks scored 14 points off of the Hoyas' 16 turnovers. In the Gaels' last game, they committed 21 turnovers, leading to 22 points for the opponent. If the Jayhawks are able to control the ball and take advantage of the takeaways, Kansas will come out on top.
lona has struggled making shots from the field and the free-throw line. In Iona's last game against the University of the Pacific, the Gaels shot 34.6 percent from field goal range and were 8-for-18 from the line.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL GAMEDAY VS IONA GAELS
Wednesday, Nov. 26 | 8 p.m. | Allen Fieldhouse
Natalie Knight, senior guard Knight finished the weekend with a strong performance against the Georgetown Hoyas, racking up 11 points, five assists and four rebounds, while only committing one turnover. The senior guard has stepped*up as one of the leaders of the team, but she'll certainly have her hands full as lona boasts one of the best guards in the country.
Lauren Aldridge, freshman, guard Aldridge had a pretty outstanding weekend, racking up 16 assists in three games, with an assist-to-turnover ratio of 4-to-1. The freshman guard will look to keep up her solid play, which has helped to take the pressure off of seniors Natalie Knight and Chelsea Gardner.
Chayla Cheadle, freshman, guard After playing well in her first start on Saturday, Cheadle struggled against the Hoyas, scoring just six points on 2-of-9 shooting. As a starter, Cheadle is averaging 9.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game, and she'll look to continue to help the Jayhawks in multiple areas of the game.
KANSAS (4-1)
Jada Brown, sophomore, forward
Brown started the weekend with a
strong performance, going 5-of-5
from the field and finishing with 12
points and six rebounds, albeit in a
loss. However, she struggled to do
much in the ensuing two games, averaging just one point per game, to go along with 4.5 rebounds.
Chelsea Gardner, senior, forward Gardner is averaging 20.8 points, 10 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game, and she has already had a 30-point game, a 16-rebound game and a 5-block game this season.
Damika Martinez, senior, guard Martinez has been flat-out spectacular this season averaging close to 26 points and six rebounds per game, while becoming lona's all-time leading scorer.
IONA (1-3)
Cassidee Ranger, junior, forward Ranger has struggled pretty mightily this year, and she was even replaced in the starting lineup by Aalyah Robinson last game. However, Robinson had a pretty subpar performance, racking up four turnovers while shooting 0-of-5 from three-point range and 0-of-4 from the free throw line.
Joy Adams, junior, forward Averaging 16.5 points and 11.8 rebounds per game, Adams has started the season off quite well. In fact, she has managed to grab at least 11 rebounds in every single game, and Adams has hit the 20-point scoring mark in two of the Gaels' four contests.
Marina Lizarazu, sophomore, guard Lizarazu has started all four games for the Gaels, and she's been solid, averaging 9 points and 5.3 assists per game. Lizarazu has only gotten better while playing alongside Martinez, and the Jayhawks will have to be careful to not allow her to get going on offense.
Aurellia Cammock, sophomore forward
Cammock has been fairly forgettable this season, averaging just two points and 4.5 rebounds per game, and she's already had three games with more fouls than points. Cammock will need to play far better if she doesn't want to be the next one to lose her spot in the starting five.
