Local business employs the 'unemployable'

Most college students have struggled with the job search and dealt with the disappointment of rejection from employment, but for people with criminal records, that impossibility is even more severe.
James Russell, a junior from Marion, has to deal with this impossibility every day. Russell, who served about 10 years in prison before being released in 2009, said being rejected on the job search was not surprising, but frustrating.

"There's definitely a predominant sense in the U.S. that, even when
"It was kind of clear that the criminal record was when it went from them being interested in interviewing me to them finding out about that, and then I wouldn't get a call back," he said.
Though he said he didn't do much job searching after being released, Russell said the jobs he did apply for seemed to pull back when they discovered his criminal record.
you've served your time, or you've done what society has punished you with, that people don't forget," Russell said. "You're kind of stigmatized forever."

Even though the unemployment rate is at its lowest since May 2008, according to the latest Bureau of Labor Statistics report, some recent University graduates say it's still difficult to land a job.
Although employers are eager to hire recent graduates, they have trouble finding qualified candidates, according to a national online Career Builder survey of approximately 2,175 hiring managers and human resource professionals.
Rachel Buoye, a December 2014 graduate from the School of Journalism, said she thinks online career platforms, such as LinkedIn, make it difficult for employers to sift through the large volume of online resumes.
"I personally hate how everything is online now," Buoye said. "You never get to make a first impression in person anymore. And the requirements for some jobs labeled as 'entry-level' are ridiculous."
Bouye said many of the job descriptions she's read ask for applicants with five years of experience. To garner experience, she would need to find an internship — many of which are unpaid.
In 2014, the unemployment rate among college graduates rose to 8.5 percent compared with 5.5 percent in 2007, according to the Economic Policy Institute. The same report said the underemployment rate rate of those who don't have enough paid work — rose from 9.6 percent in 2007 to 16.8 percent last year.
At the University, graduate unemployment rates rose for the School of Journalism from 2.4 percent in 2013 to 6.3 percent in 2014, according to self-reports after six months
of graduation. However, unemployment rates for the School of Law decreased from approximately 14 percent in 2013 to 8 percent in 2014, according to its website.
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences employment data shows that 50 of 700 recent graduates, or about 7 percent, were unemployed, according to the CLAS Destination Survey.
"It's been frustrating to say the least," Buoye said. "It's been almost six months and I still don't have a job."
Kelsee Evans, a May graduate who majored in graphic design, said employers are unclear about what they want.
"I currently have a list of 18 places I've applied," Evans said. "So then I send out [the first] 10 applications and I only get one call. Then I go to the interview and it's great, I think I've got it in the bag — I even send a handwritten thank-you note. Then nothing."
"The frustrating part is that as far as graphic design goes, I know there are jobs," Evans said.
She said only one out of the 18 jobs sent her an email that apologized and told her they "went in a different direction." Only two called her for an interview. She stressed over whether she'd need to move to a new city or renew her lease in Lawrence.
More graduates succeed in the job market if they decide to get advanced degrees, according to a study from the National Bureau of Education Statistics. But for those who don't, jobs are more difficult to locate.
Ramon Alvarado, a graduate student in the philosophy department, said he is only paid during the fall and spring semesters but must find an alternative option for the summer. Alvarado moved from El Paso, Texas, to Lawrence last year and this summer, he is jobless.
"There is no orientation about the financial reality of graduate student life. Sure, there are warnings, but no info about alternative avenues," Alvarado said. "Some people say that the info is out there if you care to look but I don't see why something so crucial couldn't be incorporated into the orientations."
"It is well known that roughing it is part of the grad student experience but a little more information can go a long way," he said.
Roughly 65 percent of employers said they'd hire college graduates, according to a survey of almost 6,000 employers by Career Builder. However, 10 percent of employers said recent graduates didn't have the appropriate degrees to fit the job description.
A survey by the Association of American Colleges and Universities showed that although 59 percent of students felt they applied skills they learned in college, only 23 percent of employers thought so. On average, students thought they were more prepared for the workforce but employers thought colleges fell short.
Buoye agrees. She said she was given conflicting advice when she started the job hunt.
"Parents tell you to call and follow up, but others say don't because it'll be annoying to the hiring manager," she said. "There have been jobs I've been really interested in that I wanted to follow-up on but didn't because of advice given."
The University spends an average of 3 percent of its budget on student services for a student's "emotional and physical well-being," according to the University expense report. Although the University offers career help with the application process, students are forced to compete with fellow graduates, Evans said.
"I have to explain why I'd be a good choice even though I'm straight out of college," Evans said. "I'm excited and motivated to have job in my field, but all people see is 'recent graduate' and I feel like they're turning the other direction."
But recent graduate Lily Sanders said not to be discouraged.
"Finding a job was harder than I thought it would be," Sanders said. "Having reputable internships and a college education doesn't guarantee you the perfect job. I definitely heard a few noes before I finally heard a yes."
Sanders said it took her about two and a half months before she found a job.
"Not having a job right after college is nothing to get disheartened or discouraged about," she said. "Finding the right job for you takes time and sometimes will even take longer than the whole summer."
The University Career Center hosts several resume building workshops during the academic year as well as career fairs that connect students with employers.
"Be persistent and don't be afraid to start small to gain experience," said Alex Johnson, coordinator of peer advisers at the Undergraduate Advising Center. "Don't be afraid to try new things and be open to trial and error."

Most places where he applied after getting released didn't explicitly say his criminal record was the issue, but the first place that did, an Italian restaurant in Overland Park, told him it was company policy to never hire anyone with a criminal record.
These rejections were what inspired Russell to go to school.
"I opted for school to build up my education," he said. "Hopefully that stigma is gone a little bit with a degree."
Although Russell has only had one part-time job in the last few years, writing for "The Campus Ledger" at Johnson County Community College, one Lawrence business is trying to help those like him.
Sun Cedar, a local non-profit business, exclusively hires the "unemployable," or people who struggle to find jobs, such as the homeless or ex-felons or recovering addicts. Shine Adams, co-founder and CEO of the business, started the business in 2014.
"People that I come into contact with, and the people that I serve, have failed many times and have had many hardships and carry a large stigma," Adams said. "I'm proving to humanity at large that this stigma is a figment of our imagination — it's not real. Just because somebody has made errors in their life, does not mean that they're not employable or worth a shit."
Sun Cedar produces handmade wood products and sells them
through its homemade website. Its signature product is a tiny handmade tree with a hole at the top to hang it and the Sun Cedar signature at the bottom.

"It's a popular gift, it's a good price point, and it has a story," Adams said. "When you give this to somebody, you can say, 'Here's this story, this has been held in the hands of people who are improving their own lives.'"
By giving them paid employment, giving them something to work for, and offering a supportive environment to work in, the company is helping these people rehabilitate Adams said.
Shine Adams, CEO of Sun Cedar, holds a nearly-finished wooden air freshener in the Sun Cedar workshop, which is located in Adams' basement.

"When somebody burns bridges or has a criminal record, or is homeless, in our culture, chances go away very rapidly," he said. "Even a good person can have a bad reputation or can have a stigma that they carry around with them everywhere they go and they start to internalize that."
If you have worked as a "Tipped Employee" for a restaurant, you could be owed unpaid minimum wages, plus additional damages, if:
- Your wages and tips, taken together, amounted to less than $7.25 per hour during any work week(s);
- You were paid 'tipped rate' wages below $7.25 per hour for work when the restaurant was not open to customers;
- You were paid "tipped rate" wages below $7.25 per hour and spent more than 20 percent of your work time during any week(s) performing work that did not produce tips (cooking, cleaning, food prep, rolling silverware, etc.); or
- You were required to share tips with the restaurant itself, managers, or "back room" employees (cooks, dishwashers, expeditors, etc.).

Campus construction on schedule despite recent rain
NOTICE
Gates Must Remain Closed at all Times
Kansas
The Oswald and Self residence halls on Daisy Hill are scheduled to be completed on time by the end of July. Of the several construction projects occurring on campus, all are on schedule except for McCarthy Hall.
DEREK SKILLETT

DEREK SKILLETT/KANSAN
Despite the heavy rainfall last month, construction on campus is mostly continuing on schedule.
These projects include Phase III of the Jayhawk Boulevard reconstruction, construction of the new Oswald and Self residence halls on Daisy Hill, construction of the DeBrue Center adjoining Allen Fieldhouse, the construction of the new Capitol Federal Hall and the construction of the new McCarthy student athlete residence hall.
["The rain]s had some effect. At times, it's made those sites mud-dier and so the contractors have had to work a little harder to try not to track all the mud onto the street," said Paul Graves, deputy director of Design and Construction Management at the University. "To my knowledge, the weather has not seriously been a factor in delaying any of the projects."
The primary construction project happening on the University campus right now centers on the reconstruction of Jayhawk Boulevard, specifically the section stretching from Watson Library to the Kansas Union. Graves said contractors are working to widen the boulevard, repair the sidewalks and plant trees on both sides of the street.
This phase of the complete reconstruction will cost around $3.5 million and is expected to be completed by the end of July.
Graves said the numerous other construction projects taking place around the University are also relatively unaffected by the summer weather.
The DeBruce Center, which will be located near the parking garage connected to Allen Fieldhouse, will house James Naismith's original rules of basketball. The construction has dominated the northeast corner of the Fieldhouse since it began in
2013. Luckily for Kansas basketball fans, the construction is still slated to be completed by January of 2016, just in time for Big 12 conference play.
Across the street from the DeBruce Center, construction on the new Capitol Federal Hall is underway without delay. The $65 million project, which will be completed in spring 2016, will house a majority of the University's business classes.
McCarthy Hall, the third major University construction project currently being built on Naismith Drive, will primarily house the members of
the men's and women's basketball teams. However, the construction project is slightly behind schedule.
"McCarthy Hall is a bit behind schedule. The contractor is working to get back on schedule," Graves said. "I'm not sure I know exactly why. There have been some challenges that they've run into, but I can't go into any more detail than that."
McCarthy Hall, as well as the new Self and Oswald Halls on Daisy Hill, are expected to be completed by the end of July, in time for the new school year.

Media piracy should be decriminalized

PETER M. KUBALKO
Ross Lubratovic @RossThaBoss93
Most college students enjoy spending their free time watching Netflix,seeing movies, discovering new music or some similar activity. However, in a time when there is an abundance of excellent content to consume, paying for all of it can cause financial dilemmas or limit students' experiences.
Pirating media is an alternative that many people have turned to in the recent past to cut costs when
consuming content. As a victimless crime with little to no negative side-effects, media piracy needs to be legalized or at least decriminalized.
Media piracy, which is defined as the unauthorized reproduction or use of a copyrighted book, recording, television program, patented invention or trademarked product, is becoming more common; however, it is still punishable by law in the United States and many countries around the world.
Many studies, including one by JRC Technical Reports from 2013 have found that "illegal music downloads have little or no effect on legal digital sales." In other words, digital piracy does not negatively affect sales.
In between seasons two and three of HBO's popular series "Game of Thrones," which is notorious for online piracy, the company's programming president Michael Lombardo was quoted as saying, in relation to the large amount of episodes being pirated, "...it is a compliment of sorts ... [Piracy is] something that comes along with having a wildly successful show on a subscription network."
With multiple recent shutdowns of The Pirate Bay, a site dedicated to downloading and uploading content for free, and the imprisonment of its founder Peter Sunde last year, as well as the protests of the SOPA and PIPA bills in 2012, media piracy continues to be an important issue right now, especially among younger demographics.
According to the Recording Industry Association of America website, "criminal [piracy] charges may leave you with a felony record, accompanied by up to five years of jail time and fines up to $250,000."
That means in some states it is simply a misdemeanor, or possibly even legal, to be in possession of marijuana, but if you copy a DVD for a friend you could end up with a criminal record. It's time for America to get its priorities straight and spend taxpayer money fighting real crimes.
A handful of countries, including Canada, Poland, the Netherlands and Spain permit downloads for personal noncommercial use. America needs to follow-suit in this matter not only because there are better things to spend money fighting, but because it is the right thing to do.

College classes need to start later in the morning

exhausted, stressed and oftentimes buzzed on coffee.
Not all college students are like this, but most of my friends, as well as myself, fit that description pretty well. Between school, work and the campus activities that college students take part in, it seems impossible to find time for ourselves or even have a regular sleep schedule. To help eliminate this sleep deprivation, classes should start, at the earliest, at 9 a.m.
Common characteristics of a typical college student:
For the most part, college allows students to pick their classes and the time these classes take place. This is helpful for people who aren't so into "getting the worm" as the early birds are. On the other hand, there are times when the class we need to advance to the next semester is at 8 a.m. and we have no choice.
To no fault of our own, we will be called out for not being as alert as we should be in that morning class.
If that class were to start later, we could take in the information without constant yawning and fear of being taunted for having no control over our exhaustion.

'Lawrence is still a segregated community,' professor says
MACKENZIE CLARK
@mclark59
Following the June 17 shooting at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, S.C., national conversations have centered on issues of race, segregation and the Confederate flag.
On Thursday, the Office of Multicultural Affairs and Shawn Alexander, associate professor of African and African American Studies, released a statement about the history of violence against black churches in America.
The statement offered a brief overview of violent acts against black churches for the past 200 years, but also raised a point: "We live in a state that fought against slavery, but despite that history we have signs of the confederacy and white supremacy around us every day."
Alexander, also the director of the Langston Hughes Center at the University, said despite the "Free State" nickname, racism is an issue in Kansas — and here in town.
"Lawrence is still a segregated community," he said. "There is integration — whatever that word means, I'm not quite sure — [...] but there are places where it is distinctly racially segregated."
Cassandra Osei, a May graduate from Shawnee who recently contributed a guest column to the Kansan, said she agrees.
"The U.S. is more segregated now than it was in the '50s," she said, "which is kind of hard to believe, but it is true."
Regarding segregation, Osei cited statistics about the racial wealth gap. According to a 2010 report from the Insight Center for Community Economic Development, nearly half of single black and Hispanic women have zero or negative wealth. The median wealth for single white women is $41,500.
report from the KIDS COUNT Data Center, 39 percent of black children in the United States live at or below the federal poverty level.
"If we had to have that conversation [about the wealth gap], we would talk about the implications of sexism and racism, but we don't," Osei said. "Instead, we use the barometer of racism as how somebody feels about somebody else."
Additionally, according to a 2013
The AME Church was originally founded in protest of segregation within white churches, Alexander said. Members of a Methodist church in Philadelphia were not allowed to worship in the front pews and were limited to certain areas of the church, so in 1816 they branched off.
"That made, obviously, no sense to them in a place that talks about equality, 'Everyone is the same in the eyes of the Lord,' so they created their own separate church," Alexander said.
However, Alexander said segregation within churches continues.
"Today, the old adage is, '11 o'clock on Sunday morning is still the most segregated moment in American society," he said.
Alexander and Osei both said with the election of President Barack Obama, many Americans have resolved that racism is no longer an
Osei said she believes it's hard for people to discuss historical, institutional racism.
issue in the United States. However, Alexander said that is not true.
"You don't want to implicate an entire society — it's easier to blame somebody in a trailer park who hates black people than, you know, your cousin who's a doctor," Osei said.
The problem is not limited to the confines of the church walls, though. Alexander said people often claim it's time to sit down and have an "honest conversation" about race issues in America.
"The fundamental economic, social and political underpinning of racism and white supremacy have continued in America, despite the fact that we have broken down barriers and have integrated our nation," he said.
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
"But we've had a number of conversations. What are we going to do?" Alexander said.
Osei said most of the behaviors regarding racism she has personally experienced or witnessed in Lawrence where she believes the history of segregation is often forgotten" has been "very subtle," with some exceptions.
"Nobody is going to go out of their way to be super obviously racist to you to your face," she said. "[...] Very, very rarely would anybody call me the n-word or anything like that, or deny me service because I'm black — but in terms of getting dirty looks and knowing that I didn't belong somewhere, that's happened a lot of the time."
Alexander said subtlety does not mean the problem has gone away.
Osei said it doesn't make sense to her that people take pride in the
"You can be a proud Southerner; you can use that flag for that," Alexander said, "but don't tell me it didn't stand for slavery. Don't tell me it didn't stand for white supremacy — and doesn't stand for white supremacy."
"We can't just pat ourselves on the back saying that racism doesn't exist because we don't use the n-word," he said.
Alexander said he was shocked to see the flag flying at a home in Paola across the street from an elementary school. Although he acknowledged the rights that come with private property, he said he was concerned for the kids who may see it and not understand its full implications.
Another issue Alexander and the OMA mentioned in the statement was the Confederate flag flying in Kansas.
Shawn Alexander, associate professor of African and African-American Studies, saw this truck flying the American and Confederate flags Tuesday, June 30, at the intersection of 23rd and Iowa Streets.
Confederate flag.
"People genuinely think that there is no significance with racism when it comes to that flag; it doesn't matter to them that actual Klansmen and neo-Nazis use that flag," she said. "[...] I don't understand why its defenders claim patriotism when it's a flag that is literally treasonous."
Alexander said just taking down
the flag won't change much.
"It's a good first step, but just taking down the flag won't end racism," he said. "It won't end the drive for white supremacy. It won't end violence. It's nice to not see it, but that's not enough."

Kevin Ford, local farmer, recycles dairy for livestock

VIRGINIA FARMER'S MARKET
Two weeks ago, Kevin Ford packed his family and farm into two semitrailers and moved to Wakarusa from St. Leo, escaping the hail storms and grasshoppers that destroyed his family's 5-acre produce garden.
The family agreed to leave their old life behind in hopes of finding economic prosperity by selling their carefully raised pork and poultry at the Lawrence Farmers' Market.
Ford dubs his unconventional farming technique as "feeding two birds with one seed" — that is, with expired dairy products.
"By feeding our pigs almost-expired milk we provide a marbled and tender meat, as well as eliminating wasted milk," Ford said.
He discovered feeding pigs and chickens whey and dairy products caused their meat to be flavorful and

lean and also solved a major problem of wasted dairy.
Mary Ford, Kevin's wife, said he is the brain behind the farm. His techniques, she said, are a major part of why the family has been able to stay afloat in an industry dominated by mass production and factory farms.
Mass production of meat, eggs and dairy makes it difficult for local farms to compete with factory farms because of sheer costs, according to the Organic Consumer Association. However, some local farms can compete against factory farms because they guarantee food without hormones and their animals are free-range. Ford's farm is one of them.
"Our egg yolks are dark orange, and have high levels of omega-3, which is distinctively different than store-bought eggs," Ford said.
Consumers are more familiar with yellow yolks, which are caused by hormones. Ford said the yolks are orange in his chickens' eggs because he allows them to range freely across the farm eating greens and insects.
Still, factory farms are able to produce more meat and eggs for less money because of advances in genetic manipulation. In turn, the number of farms in the U.S. has dropped from 900,000 to 139,000 in 20 years due to competition, according to the OCA.
Ford's natural, sustainable farming methods aim to provide healthy food to the local Lawrence community, and he attends the Lawrence Farmers' Market weekly. While Ford continues to compete with factories producing cheap meat, he said the move to Lawrence keeps his farm from facing yearly uncontrollable weather.

Regier, artist behind 'NuPenny,' discusses his work
BRIANNA CHILDERS
@breeanuhh3
Randy Regier, the artist behind "NuPenny's Last Stand," wanted to create something that would make people want to know what it means and why it matters. Most of all, he wants people to be able to connect to his artwork just like he has.
"NuPenny" shines bright as it comes into view over the crest of a hill. It sits at the end of a road, and anyone who doesn't know what it is may think it's an object landed here from another planet.
The Spencer Museum of Art, which has been working with the artist on the project, described "NuPenny" as "a traveling toy store designed with a nod to yesteryear and filled with intriguing toy creations."
Regier, however, wants people to be able to figure out what it means for themselves.
"I would just assume people would look at the work and decide what they are seeing and, if it matters, figure out why it matters to them," Regier said.
While Regier was growing up in Omaha, Neb., he learned automobile body paint and took that on as a career. He also did some cartoon work. It wasn't until his mid-30s that he decided to attend Kansas State University.
"As an untraditional undergrad, I was making things at a higher level than most, and working in the autobody industry I had acquired a certain skill set," Regier said.
As a child, Regier said he didn't know he would become an artist but it was something he knew he had a natural talent for.
"I grew up in a culture where art was celebrated, but it was more of something you did after work and
not for a living," Regier said.
He describes his art fundamentally as sculpture and three-dimensional, but he doesn't consider himself a sculptor.
"My biggest passion and ambition is to tell a story," Regier said. "I am very driven by the narrative of a story so my art comes across as sculpture but is driven by a desire to tell stories and to create and invoke mysteries."
When it comes to "NuPenny," which is currently stationed in Lawrence, Regier said he pulled inspiration for the installation from "The Twilight Zone."
"The whole idea of 'The Twilight Zone' is that scenarios happen in a very common environment and everything is very familiar and then it becomes very unfamiliar," he said.
Regier wanted to create something and put it in a location that would make people want to figure out why it appeared there all of a sudden. He said he hopes people find the art installation to be interesting and that it becomes a conversation starter for many.
The name for "NuPenny" comes from Regier's fascination with pennies. Regier said he finds pennies very charming, yet they are "valueless and ludicrous," he said.
"We value them enough to spend four times their worth to make them but we will step over them on the sidewalk," he said. "That's sort of analogous to art; it's not really worth much but people don't want it to go away."
Regier and his wife scouted out locations for the installation around Lawrence with staff members from the Spencer Museum of Art, with whom he has been working closely
To go with its unique name, "Nu-Penny" needed a unique location.
on the project. He said he wanted to stray away from the art district and find a place that would spark conversation because it was different.
"It's the last place you would expect to see it and you come up over the hill and it's right there," Regier said. "It's my dream spot because it's so damn weird and cool for an art installation."
Elizabeth: Canost, communications coordinator for the art museum, said Regier and the museum staff made a decision early in the planning process to not reveal the location in any of their pre-installation promotion.
"Once it was installed, we began to drop hints on social media and posters downtown." Canost said.
Regier said among the other locations "NuPenny" has been — Florida, Maine, Illinois and Arkansas — Lawrence is the most personal for him. Regier said he can relate to the mobile home community around the art installation because he grew up in a mobile home.
"Chances are if you grew up in a
mobile home, you weren't spending your summer in New York going to museums," he said. "I think a lot about my childhood and how long it took for me to be aware of art and how little I saw of it."
He said he feels the art installation is something he would have wanted to experience when he was growing up and, so far, he has received a lot of positive feedback.
As for future locations for "NuPenny," he said a dream location would be off the coast of Portland, Maine.
"With ["NuPenny"] being solar powered now, I would love to have it floating out in the middle of the water on a ship. It's doable but would be quite the endeavor," he said.
Regier leaves the decision of whether or not to move "NuPenny" around Lawrence up to the art museum staff.
"My ideal scenario is that people decide for themselves what it is. I want it to be this mysterious thing that causes interest and conversation," Regier said.

That love for creating and making certainly paid off, as this year Yankey, a 2009 graduate, landed on this year's Kansas Notable Books list with her children's book, "Bluebird."
Growing up in Leon in a creative family — both her brother and sister went to art school, her father is a ceramicist and draws and her mother often wove baskets — Lawrence author and illustrator Lindsey Yankey spent her time playing outside, painting and playing sports.
"It was a solid background for kind of establishing that love of creating and making," Yankey said.
"Bluebird" follows a small bird as she attempts to fly for the first time without her friend, the wind. The little bluebird sets out to find the
When she was younger, Yankey loved a variety of children's books but was always drawn to a particular illustration style, namely American author Jan Brett's work, which featured the main illustration but had a "more than meets the eye" style in the further details around the border of the page.
"I had an affinity for the books that had lots and lots of detail and the ones where you can keep finding details every time you read it," she said.
Although she was always creative growing up, her interest waned when she participated in sports as a teenager.

Lawrence Death Cafe meets monthly to discuss death

Lawrence Death Club Founder Constance Whiston discusses her views on death at the group's monthly meeting on June 27. At Death Cafe meetings, members gather to discuss death and its related topics in an open-minded environment.
MADI SCHULZ
@Mad_Dawgg
On a Saturday afternoon at the public library, Lawrence resident Constance Whiston entered meeting room C wearing a cheerful orange shirt and a smile on her face. She took her place at the head of the table to begin the meeting.
"Welcome to the Lawrence Death Cafe," she began. "I won't bring any reading materials. There won't be any movies or guest speakers. You all pick the topics; you decide what to talk about."
Since 2011, there have been 2,097 Death Cafes held in Europe, North America and Australia, according to the worldwide organization's website. At each meeting, members gather to discuss death and the many topics that relate to the subject.
Anyone can hold a Death Cafe, as long as they follow the guidelines set out, as Whiston did. Once she heard about the Death Cafe, she knew she was interested in hosting a meeting.
"I have very strong ideas about the circle of life and life after death," Whiston said.
Whiston's differing beliefs come from her experimentation in religion, in which she has taken part in many different denominations and practices.
At every meeting, each guest is encouraged to also bring a snack for the group to share, contributing to the "cafe" aspect of the name.
Although as part of the guidelines Whiston is not allowed to introduce her own topics, she still enjoys proctoring the discussions, and she often writes down the topics that interest her.
At the start of the meeting, each member, seated around a large rectangular table, stated their name and why they were there. The reasons differed, but largely had to do with the participants' occupations, from hospice workers to those who work with funeral professionals. There
were also participants who had ideas pertaining to their specific beliefs they wanted to discuss, and those who just wanted to talk about the death of a loved one and how it affected them.
The group ranges in age. The youngest attendee was 22-year-old Axel Bordelon, who discussed many ideas, including his idea that after death not only does the body decompose, but the soul as well. Once this decomposition is complete, the pieces of the soul are put back into a large pot that is then used in the reincarnation of others.
"I saw the Death Cafe poster at the library and was interested. Death is a subject that interests me," Bordelon said. "It's a subject with many topics that unites every person."
A large portion of the meeting was also allocated to discussing burial procedures and the various
ways a loved one can be mourned. Shannon Hodges, who is working toward becoming certified in home funerals, and Melanie Black Loyd, an equipping coach for funeral professionals who helps them with communications and making plans, led these topics. Loyd attended the meeting with her mother.
"I want to understand all the skills, language and viewpoints that have to do with death," Loyd said. "My goal is to help make the best possible service for those who are saying goodbye to a loved one."
One specific subject the discussion turned to were natural burials and how one local cemetery offers a natural burial area where bodies are not embalmed or treated with any chemicals, and only biodegradable caskets are allowed.
There were also varied viewpoints on the afterlife among the group
— some believe there is one, and others believe there is not. Some members said they believe death is a joyous occasion where loved ones are finally at peace; others believe there is no joy in death.
Stephanie Freeman, a local Lawrence artist who said she doesn't believe in the afterlife and sees death as highly negative, discussed the death of her sister from cancer and how it affected her. Freeman also discussed how when she started creating her burned-canvas pieces, an idea she got from fellow Death Cafe participant Jane Asbury, professor emeritus at the University, it helped her to heal.
"The burning of the canvas is the part I love the most," Freeman said during the meeting. "There is definitely a freedom."
Asbury, who taught painting in the Department of Visual Art, came to
the meeting to discuss the various burial rituals in different cultures. She also holds an interest in different mythologies.
During the Death Cafe, Whiston reassured members that although they have different viewpoints, there was nothing wrong with expressing differing opinions as long as everyone was respectful.
"I really try to make sure everyone listens with respect and feels comfortable with sharing," Whiston said.
The openness of the group contributes to the mood, which, despite the subject matter, is often pretty light. Although there were solemn moments when the group sat in silence to absorb the stories told, there was often laughter and lively discussion throughout.
The next Lawrence Death Cafe will be held July 25 at the Lawrence Public Library.

Game review: 'Arkham Knight' does Gotham right
FRANK WEIRICH
@LetMeBeFrank23
答
Let's clear something up to start with: I love Batman. I'd played two of three previous "Batman: Arkham" games made by game developer Rocksteady and found them to be a pretty fitting visualization of the Dark Knight's universe as well as being pretty solid games.
After finishing "Arkham Knight," I'd have to give Rocksteady credit. They really know how to make a Bat
man game.
Now, just a bit of a heads-up: if you haven't finished the other games in the Arkham series, you might want to do that before taking on "Arkham Knight." Spoilers for the other games pretty much set the scene for this game.
of wiping Gotham in minutes. After a mandatory evacuation of all civilians, criminals rise up, taking the streets for themselves. Villains such as Penguin, Two-Face, and the Riddler carve out swaths of territory.
"Arkham Knight" takes place after the events of "Batman: Arkham City," the death of Joker and the closing of Arkham City. It's Halloween in Gotham, and Scarecrow has developed a new fear toxin capable

out for a while, but when I got to KU I started to show more interest," Yankey said. "Underlying was a lot of want to keep making things."
Yankey began school at Hutchinson Community College on a softball scholarship. She transferred to the University in her second year after she began to feel "antsy with a desire for something more."
While initially interested in elementary education, Yankey switched to art education, where she found herself in the studio as a part of the requirement for the major. With story ideas already in mind, she knew she wanted to make books, and eventually switched to the illustration major.
The idea for her first children's book, "Sun and Moon" — a story about the moon feeling like it's missing out on life during the day — came about in a pretty simple way.
"I was walking home from class one day and thought, 'Wow, this is such a beautiful day.' It was springtime and beautiful and I thought, "The sun gets to see everything cool.' Then I was thinking, "The moon's missing out," she said.
"Bluebird," her second book and the one on the Kansas Notable Books List, came from a simple, one-line idea about a bird missing the wind.
"I was thinking about a bird looking for the wind; well, then you have questions," Yankey said. "Why is she looking for the wind? Where would she look for the wind? What is the wind and the bird's relationship? How do they know each other? How did that even start?"
Although both stories are for a younger audience, the ideas are rooted in a deeper meaning. "Sun and the Moon" is about learning to appreciate what you have, and "Bluebird" focuses on doing something for the first time without a friend or someone you depend on, Yankey said.
After college, Yankey traveled to England for a few months and started working on posters for an art collaborative group. When the group started putting her work in its mailing list, she got in touch with Shakespeare and Co. bookstore, located in Paris, and began making bags, posters and signs for the store. Her work with the store added a credible client to her portfolio.
In 2014, she traveled to the Bologna Children's Book Fair in Italy to try to find publishers for her books. She found one in Simply Read Books, which would go on to publish "Sun and Moon" and "Bluebird."
Through Simply Read Books, Yankey worked closely with Robin Mitchell Cranfield, principal of Hundreds & Thousands Book Design and Illustrations as well as visiting professor in the publishing department at Simon Fraser University in Canada.
“[Yankey] plans her books out quite carefully and has great attention to detail,” Mitchell Cranfield said. "Working with her gave me a lot of insight into how illustrators experience working with a graphic designer, and I brought some of that
experience into my teaching."
After the books were published in 2014, Yankey participated in various library and bookstore readings and received positive feedback from her target audience.
"It's exciting. I got recognized by two little kids on the street," she said. "I had a reading at the Raven [Book Store] a couple weeks ago; it had just happened so I think it was really fresh on their minds."
Yankey also makes cards and prints in Lawrence, which are sold at Au Marché, a European foods and gifts store, and Essential Goods, which sells prints, cards and other gifts but focuses on local artists.
"We first saw Lindsey's work at WheatFields [Bakery] and immediately knew she was really talented," said Molly Crook, owner of Essential Goods. "I got in touch with her and we kind of went back and forth and now she sells her cards in the store."
For Yankey, these cards are little ways to experiment with her designs. Although her go-to is oil paint,
she often experiments in different mediums for her cards and prints.
In one specific instance last fall, Yankey glued leaves onto paper, and eventually they formed into characters, which she made into a print. For another print that appears in "Sun and Moon" she made intricate slices in linoleum to make a stamp of fireworks and then used that stamp to illustrate a page.
"I think that a lot of my style comes from keeping my options open with materials. That's something that really helps free me up to illustrate however [the piece] would be the best illustrated," she said.
Throughout her life, Yankey said she has always been a creative person an artist. Art matters because it is a part of what "makes us human," she said.
“[Art] is our celebration, our filter, our vent, our questioning, our understanding, our exploration, our play,” Yankey said. “Everyone is born creative and continuing to encourage creativity throughout our lives is enriching for everyone.”

The United States Women's National Team celebrates with the trophy after it defeated Japan 5-2 in the FIFA Women's World Cup soccer championship in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, Sunday, July 5.
United States wins FIFA Women's World Cup Championship
DEREK JOHNSON
@DJohnson1510
For six games, the U.S. Women's National Team had struggled to score. Nine goals in six games is not terrible but lacking for a country that once scored 25 goals in the 1991 FIFA Women's World Cup. Then, following the Fourth of July, fireworks exploded in Canada.
The U.S. Women's National Team took the FIFA Women's World Cup title over Japan, 5-2. The five goals
for the U.S. are the most-ever scored in a championship match during the FIFA Women's World Cup. The championship is the United States' first since 1999.
The match got off to a crazy start. In front of a crowd of over 50,000 people, the U.S. scored the fastest goal in Women's World Cup history. Following a corner kick, Carli Lloyd drilled the ball into the net in the third minute. Lloyd wasn't done and scored again in the fifth minute.
highest scoring final in history and gave Japan some momentum going into halftime.
Have Some Free Time?
The U.S. found the back of the net for the fifth time in the 52nd minute just for the wrong team. An own goal made the score 4-2. The second goal doubled the amount of goals the U.S. had given up combined in the previous six matches.
The way the offense played, it didn't matter. Two minutes later, Tobin Heath countered Japan's score with the final score of the game, and the U.S. won by three goals.

"I'm so proud of this team. This doesn't feel real," U.S. midfielder Lloyd told Fox Sports after the game. "We just made history."
Lauren Holiday, who was suspended for the quarterfinal match against China, added the third goal of the match in just the 14th minute. With a 3-0 lead in the 16th minute, Lloyd took the ball to the midfield line, and to the question of many, let it rip. Japan's goalie Ayumi Kaihori was playing far upfield from the goal, and the perfectly placed ball off Lloyd's foot soared into the net.
This was the third time since 2011 that Japan and the U.S. met in the championship game of a major event. In 2011, Japan and the United States played a thrilling World Cup

Selden scored just six points in the NCAA tournament, shooting 27.3 percent from the field. Selden missed both of his tournament three-point attempts and couldn't get to the free throw line a single time in 43 minutes.
Now fast forward three months: In the two exhibitions in Kansas City, Mo., leading up to the World University Games, Selden averaged 17.5 points per game, shooting better than 50 percent from the field. He had a double-double in the second contest, posting 22 points
and 10 rebounds, and unlike last time, his performance would be a sign of things to come.
Selden had his way against Turkey in the Jayhawks' opener, scoring 19 points on 50 percent shooting from the field. He added nine rebounds and a steal in his 38 minutes on the court, but that wasn't even the most impressive thing.
Selden seamlessly adapted to the increased physicality of playing against a team of grown men, which was something the rest of the Jayhawks struggled with. He had no problem ripping away rebounds from the much taller Turkey team, and he also had the biggest highlight of the night when he rose up and threw down a thunderous alley-oop dunk off a Nic Moore assist. In the team's next outing, it was the same story. Selden diced up Brazil early to the tune of 15 first-half points. He'd finish with another well-rounded performance, posting 23 points on 8-of-14 shooting, rounding out his stat line with four rebounds, three assists and three
steals in 39-plus minutes. In fact, it was such a strong performance that by the end of the game, Selden found himself trending nationally on Twitter.
So who is the real Wayne Selden Jr.? Is he the man who has dominated the international competition and showed that he can shine in the face of pressure? Or is he the man who has absolutely disappeared in the last two NCAA tournaments, totaling a mere 2.5 points per game on 19 percent (4-of-21) shooting? What is the World's best?
It's hard to tell at this point. It's very easy to look at Selden and some of his games and get excited. He is well put together for a basketball player, and he seems to have all the tools to succeed at the NCAA level. However, there's also a massive two-year sample size to draw from, during which Selden showed himself to be inconsistent and underwhelming.
And from year one to two, Selden showed little improvement. His points, rebounds, assists, blocks,
steals, fouls and turnovers per game all stayed within 0.3 of where they had been the year before, while his field goal percentage dropped from an unimpressive 43.7 percent to a flat-out bad 38.2 percent.
It would be absolutely reasonable to accept that he isn't going to break out in the next year.
But despite all that, something about this feels different. It may be a bit of optimism to make the leap on my part, but this Selden looks
different than any previous version of himself. And the difference isn't physical; it's in his play on the court.
He looks more aggressive, more focused, more confident. If this is the Selden we all see in the college season, the Jayhawks could be one of the best teams in the nation.
With Selden playing this well, a Final Four could be in the cards.
So will the real Wayne Selden Jr. please stand up? We may have our answer soon enough.

Mickelson becomes an impact player for Kansas
DYLAN SHERWOOD
@dmantheman2011
Kansas coach Bill Self saw something in senior forward Hunter Mickelson several years ago when Mickelson played at Arkansas, and what he saw seems to be coming to light this summer.
Now in his senior campaign, Mickelson appears to be looking to make an impact on next season's team as Kansas represents the U.S. in the World University Games.
The senior only played in 19 games during his first season at Kansas but has seen his minutes increase in the World University Games. Mickelson has made two starts during the tournament: one against Canada in an exhibition and the other against Brazil on Sunday. Mickelson took advantage of his
first official start in the World University Games to score 11 points and grab eight rebounds in USA's 81-72 win over Brazil.
Mickelson, a 6-foot-10 forward from Jonesboro, Ark., played his first two seasons at Arkansas, making an impact in the post for the Razorbacks in 2011 as a freshman. Mickelson set the freshman record in blocks with 72 and had 39 total blocks his sophomore year before transferring to Kansas.
Playing beside guys such as senior forwards Perry Ellis and Jamari Traylor and junior forward Landen Lucas, Mickelson has been left out of the rotation the past season. All three players have been in the program for four years or more; only a part of the program for two years, Mickelson struggled for playing time.
Even seeing only 19 games of action last season for Kansas, Mickelson stepped up in a big role when Ellis went down with a knee injury against West Virginia in March. He played 13 minutes, collecting a season-high eight points, two rebounds and two blocks. He recorded three steals in a game where the Jayhawks trailed by 18 and defeated the Mountaineers in overtime.
The next game at Oklahoma, Mickelson recorded a season-high in minutes with 20.
Now a senior with a year in the program, Mickelson looks to be a contributor for next year's team that brings back all but three players. With the impact he is making so far in the World University Games, Self might see something else in Mickelson for his final go-around at Kansas.

Former Jayhawks active in the NBA offseason
DEREK JOHNSON
@DJohnson1510
Six of 16 former Kansas basketball players in the NBA last year came in as free agents as the NBA offseason tipped off on July 1. After Cliff Alexander went undrafted, the list grew to seven.
Already, numerous former Jayhawk basketball players have flocked to new destinations.
Paul Pierce, the 10th overall pick out of Kansas in the 1998 draft, decided to sign back in his home state of California. The Clippers signed Pierce to a three-year pact worth
more than $10 million, according to ESPN. He will play for Doc Rivers, the same man who coached Pierce's only NBA Championship with the Boston Celtics.
Thomas Robinson was drafted higher than Pierce, but his career has not gotten off to as strong of a start. He has played for four different teams in a three-season span and
After 15 seasons with the Celtics, Pierce will travel to his third team in three years as he plays for the Los Angeles Clippers. The 1998 NCAA All-American is 16th on the all-time NBA scoring list, amassing more than 25,000 points in his career.
is adding another to the list.
Robinson signed with the Brooklyn Nets on a two-year deal. He is averaging 5.1 points per game along with 4.8 rebounds in his career. In a brief stint with the Philadelphia 76ers, he averaged 8.8 points and 7.7 rebounds in just 18.5 minutes per game, both of which were highs for any team he's played on.
Robinson may not be the only Jayhawk on the Nets next season.
Following a disappointing NBA draft, Alexander earned a spot on Brooklyn's summer league team. Sports Illustrated's Jeremy Woo tweeted "Brooklyn could have interest in keeping him beyond that."
Besides free agency, the NBA offseason creates roster turnover through a multitude of trades. A result of one trade means the Morris twins are no longer together in Phoenix.
Former Big 12. Player of the Year Marcus Morris was part of a threeplayer deal that sent him to the Detroit Pistons. Marcus averaged double-digit scoring last year for the first time in his career and also yanked down a career-high 4.8 rebounds per game.
The Suns' decision to split up the Morris twins incited some remarks
from around the league. Marcus' twin brother and former Jayhawk Markieff Morris tweeted "this a foul game" following the trade.
As free agency continues, former Jayhawks Cole Aldrich, Darrell Arthur, Drew Gooden and Xavier Henry remain in limbo. Additionally, Sasha Kaun is leaving Russia for the NBA, Adrian Wojnarowski, sports reporter for Yahoo Sports, tweeted.
A full list of former Jayhawks who reached the NBA can be seen along with the online version of this article.

World University Games jerseys honor Olympic team
KU
RAYLO
The seven stars adorning Kansas' World University Games jerseys represent each of the seven Jayhawks on the 1952 USA Olympic basketball team.
SAMANTHA SEXTON
@SamBiscuit
JAMES HOYT/KANSAN
The Kansas men's basketball players attending this year's World University Games are sporting new uniforms in honor of those athletes representing the United States before them.
"Our boys have new jerseys that they will be wearing specially for the games," said Paul Vander Tuig, director of trademark licensing.
The team's new jerseys, co-created with Adidas, will feature seven stars for the seven University students who went to the Olympic Games in 1952.
"We took a look at the atmosphere of the World Games and really wanted to bring some of our heritage," Vander Tuig said. "A big part of our basketball history was winning the '52 National Championship."
There's no set way to choose what teams go on to the Olympics, but up until the 1970's, it was common practice to allow those players or teams who won a national championship during an Olympic year to represent the U.S. in the Olympics. Not only did the Kansas basketball team win the NCAA Championship
in 1952 but also brought home gold from Helsinki in the 1952 Olympics.
The players from the 1952 Olympics and those represented on this tournament's jerseys are Bill Hougland, John Keller, Dean Kelley, Robert Kenney, Bill Lienhard, Clyde Lovelette and Charlie Hoag. Forrest "Phog" Allen joined the team as an assistant coach.
"We had so many great players on that team," Vander Tuig said. "We just needed to represent them."
When Kansas was approached about a year ago with an invitation to the World Games, the Athletics Department was thrilled to create a new uniform for the world to see, said Larry Hare, assistant athletics director.
"Three years ago we wore retro uniforms celebrating the 60th anniversary of winning the '52 championship," Hare said. "The uniforms were very popular and nine of the original '52 players were invited. It was one of those rare and very special occasions."
The pride in Kansas heritage was a driving variable in the design of the jerseys. One of the biggest concerns in crafting the design was the representation of not only the U.S., but
Kansas as well, as this is the first time in 63 years Kansas has been chosen to represent the U.S.
"We told Adidas our thoughts and they researched for months what sort of design to go with," Hare said. "That's when we realized that not only did our 'S2 players win
the NCAA Championship, but had gone on to win gold in the Olympics. We knew we had to honor that history and represent those players that went before us. I don't know of many, if any, other schools that can say they've had such a history and such success while representing us
all."
The players will only wear their commemorative uniforms for the World University Games. In accordance with the historic time, however, the concept has been carried on into jersey hook tees that will be available for purchase.

final, one the United States could have won if not for a goal in the 117th minute by Japan. The game went into penalty kicks, and Japan won 3-1.
In 2012, the United States and Japan took the field looking for a gold medal at the Olympics. Lloyd stepped up with two goals and the US. avenged its previous loss, winning 2-1.
Lloyd continued her success against Japan in the final World Cup match this year, recording the fastest hat trick in Women's World Cup history. She finished with the most
goals (six) for the United States and tied Germany's Celia Sasic for the most goals scored in the tournament. Lloyd lost a tiebreaker for the golden boot, which awards the top goal scorer, but still came away with a trifecta of hardware.
Besides the silver boot — the consolation prize to the golden boot — Lloyd gets a piece of the Women's World Cup trophy along with the Golden Ball, which is given to the tournament's best player.
"I was on a mission to help my team win this game," Lloyd told Fox Sports. "I worked my butt off and everything, all the repetitions, came into play."
The red, white and blue defeated Germany in the semifinals in an exciting 2-0 match on July 1. The victory ensured Germany could not get its third title and instead allowed the U.S. to snatch the trophy.
This is the third World Cup title for the United States in an event that, for women, began in 1991. Since then, only two countries have won multiple championships: Germany and the United States. Germany came into the tournament ranked No.1 in the FIFA rankings for women. The United States were No.2.
Going forward, the United States will lose Abby Wambach and Christie Rampone, as the duo played their
At age 40, Rampone became the oldest athlete to compete in a FIFA Women's World Cup. In her career, she competed in five World Cups.
final matches on the U.S. Women's National Team this year.
Wambach, the all-time goal leader in women's soccer international play, finally added a first-place finish at the World Cup to her long resume. Although Wambach did not start in the final two matches, her leadership was crucial to the team's success. Before the final match, she opened up on an emotional video tribute to her fans and teammates.
"I'm just so thankful that we stuck together as a team. We didn't buy
into any of that cynicism that was creeping in during the group stage," Wambach said to Fox Sports. "We peaked at the right time."
2015 has been a patriotic summer. Kansas men's basketball is abroad representing the United States in the World University Games. The U-19 United States basketball team took the FIBA U-19 World Championship earlier today. The U.S. Men's National Team gets going next week in the CONCACAF Gold Cup.

But maybe the biggest victory was the one following the Fourth of July, as the United States won a title against the world for the first time in 16 years.

Baseball recruit, state champion Ty Denzer prepares for college
MATT HOFFMANN
@MattHoffmannUDK
Even at its lowest levels, baseball has become an extremely specialized game. With designated hitters, pinch runners and relief pitchers that only pitch to one side of the plate, a wellrounded high school ballplayer can be hard to come by.
That's exactly what the Kansas baseball program has in Ty Denzer — a 6-foot-2 recruit who specializes in winning state championships.
The incoming freshman can hit from both sides of the plate, and while he is most comfortable at shortstop, he can play "all three" infield positions, excluding first base, said coach Ritch Price.
The Minnesota native also has a propensity to come through in
clutch situations. With two on, two out in the top of the third inning during the Class AAA Minnesota state championship game on June 15, Denzer lined a single into right field, scoring the only two runs of the game. That hit secured the first championship in the history of Chanhassen High School baseball.
"I was just looking for something to hit, something to drive," Denzer said. "I knew those runs were going to be big in the end."
Price found out about the title via a text from Denzer's mother and credits the freshman's athleticism as a key part of his success.
"He has really good action. He's athletic and he has a real good feel for playing shortstop," Price said. "He's also a switch hitter, which is intriguing."
Denzer still spoke fondly of the state championship over a spotty cellphone connection two weeks later.
"Looking back and reflecting on the whole entire season, all that hard work we put in the offseason paid off. We're state champions."
TY DENZER Kansas baseball recruit
Denzer will now turn his attention to the Big 12 and the new opportunities it presents for his sport.
"Looking back and reflecting on the whole entire season, all that hard work we put in in the offseason paid off," he said. "We're state champions."
"There's some. good pitchers in Minnesota, obviously, but it's a next-level thing," Denzer said. "It's going to be the next step above that, even at the next level."
Price agreed, saying the speed of the game often serves as a hindrance to transitioning players. Price said Denzer would need "to get stronger, more physical and continue to improve in every phase of the game" in order to succeed at the next level.
And it seems like Denzer is on board with that plan.
Denzer said he plans to do "a lot of conditioning" and "the same lifting [he] did in the winter" to prepare for the rigors of Kansas baseball over the summer before getting down to business in the fall. The Victoria, Minn., native will join a campus that
has more students than citizens in his hometown.
"Before I even talked to the coaching staff or saw the facilities, I would've gone [to Kansas] even if I wasn't playing a sport." Denzer said. "The campus is beautiful and the campus life is great [and] the opportunity to play in the Big 12 is huge for me. It's one of the best conferences in the nation."
Price seems to be thinking along the same lines.
The shortstop will go from being one of the most experienced players on his high school team as a senior to one of the least experienced as a freshman at Kansas, but he still hopes to make an impact just as he did in the state championship.
"At some point in his career I see him being a starting player," he said.

Melanoma cases on the rise in Kansas
VICKY DÍAZ-CAMACHO
@vickyd_c
Nationwide melanoma rates have doubled since the 1980s and, in Kansas, the number of malignant cases has risen in about a decade from 16.3 to 23.4 cases per 100,000 people, according to Kansas Department of Health and Environment data compiled from 2001 to 2011 and released mid-June.
From 2007 to 2011, rates of melanoma diagnoses among people younger than 50 years old increased .3 percent, according to State Cancer Profiles. However, the mortality rate for melanoma of the skin dropped 3.7 percent.
Kasey Shriver, a recent University graduate from Carson, Iowa, was 17 when she was diagnosed with melanoma in December 2009. She'd been shopping for a prom dress when she noticed a mole on her back.
Shriver had a routine of visiting tanning salons up to three times per week. She started going at 14 years old.
"I don't regret anything in my life but, God, I really wish I didn't tan," Shriver said. "I think about it every day. Why did I do that?"
At first doctors thought it wouldn't spread because she was so young, but two weeks after her first surgery,
Over the span of two months, she had several surgeries to remove recurring spots of abnormal skin.
dermatologists removed five lymph nodes from her left arm, which tested positive. The cancer had spread.
In March 2010 she started immunotherapy, a form of treatment that extends over a longer period of time and "ramps up" the immune system, she said. Shriver was cancer-free for senior prom and her first few years at the University.
This January, however, doctors found a tumor near the base of Shriver's skull. Because it's located on her brainstem, it is inoperable. In February, she underwent gamma knife radiosurgery — a high dose of radiation that targets the cancer cells and her second round of immunotherapy, all during her last year of college. She is still undergoing treatment.
This year's data by the American Cancer Society predicted an estimated 850 new cases of melanoma cancers in Kansas. The mortality rate for melanoma in Kansas is 3.1 per 100,000 people, according to State Cancer Profiles.
"It's one the most deadly skin cancers; melanoma can very quickly turn life-threatening," said Dr. John Davis II, an oncologist from the University of Kansas Cancer Center who has been there almost 34 years. "I'm seeing the ones with the worst experience, so to speak. You see people with [cancer] in their early 20s and 30s, and that's a very terrible thing to see."
Melanoma is a tumor of melaninforming cells and the most aggressive form of skin cancer. Davis said the cancer can spread to the blood stream or bones.
It is natural for older individuals to get melanoma because of sun exposure over time, he said. However, tanning beds increase exposure to harmful ultraviolet rays. A 2013 study published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information reported 59 percent of college students use tanning beds at least once in their lifetime.
Overexposure to UV rays, natural or synthetic, such as those in tanning salons, increases damage to skin cells. Exposure to tanning beds before age 25 is strongly associated with both squamous cell carcinoma
and basal cell carcinoma, according to a 2012 study published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information.
Dr. Daniel Aires, a dermatologist at the University of Kansas Hospital, said the UV radiation causes mutation in cells' DNA. The UV rays can act to knock out genes and after a few of these hits, a cell can become cancerous and potentially deadly, he said.
In 2010, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration reported that tanning salons are not regulated and are not required to report adverse effects.A study published in the medical journal "Cancer" in 2008 stated

CANCER FROM PAGE 02
58 percent of test users reported some type of burning because of tanning. If an individual gets burned more than five times, they are at an increased risk for skin cancer, according to the FDA.
Applied Behavioral Economist Derek Reed, an assistant professor at the University, conducted studies on tanning and possible repercussions of it. He said he's seen addictive behavior, which could be chemical and behavioral. He said there's a large demographic that tans in Lawrence, mostly ages 18 to mid-20s, in large part because of social pressures.
"Peer pressure is huge," Reed said. "[People tan] simply because they want to fit in."
When he and his team arrived to a tanning salon convention for research, they weren't allowed in. He said it's clear there is a lack in regulations; some disclaimers are vague about the risks involved.
Because of her cancer, Shriver has spoken out against tanning in various publications — including once in "Seventeen" magazine in 2012. She is also a spokesperson for her hometown dermatologist. She said as a teen she didn't consider the dangers of tanning, but she and her friends were aware they existed.
Although she's a naturally active person, Shriver said she can't do high-impact exercise, such as jumping jacks or running, because her bones ache from the treatment.
However, melanoma among both older and younger demographics
has started to be detected sooner. Davis said he's treated patients as young as seven with melanoma and some in their early 20s.
"One theory was that it was partly due to that we're doing better at [schooling] and therefore picking up more cases," Davis said. As an oncologist, Davis treats patients who have already been diagnosed with cancer at KUCC.
"We may be close to say it can be cured," he said. "We are seeing people earlier in the state; they're getting picked up on early skin lesions. We are seeing more people early stage, fortunately not as advanced stage."
He attributes better results to better drugs developed in the past year at the University's cancer center in conjunction with recent research.
The center also has a drug to target melanoma in the works,he said.
"We're kind of on the brink of treatment with melanoma," Davis said. "It's kind of an exciting time because the new knowledge is coming pretty fast."
Both Davis and Aires encourage people to learn the risks involved with exposure to harsh UV rays and take into account the different skin sensitivities.
"One of the things I tell my younger patients is: learn to love the skin you are in. Don't try to change your natural pigment by getting tanned," Aires said. "Work with it and if you don't, you're going to hurt yourself in the process.
"If you look like Prince Harry's brother, leave it," Aires said. "All different colors are beautiful."

World Cup success means big business
DEREK SKILLETT
@derek_skillett
The United States' recent victory in the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup Final has led to an increase in business for Lawrence's soccer bars, particularly Red Lyon Tavern, at 944 Massachusetts St., and Dempsey's Burger Pub, at 623 Vermont St.
"It's been a slow increase in business. We didn't know what to expect for the Women's World Cup," said Bryan Love II, the manager of Red Lyon Tavern. "Right on Sunday for the final match, it was at capacity here 10 minutes after we opened. We had a group of 50 people standing outside waiting before we could even open the doors."
That World Cup Final scene was very similar at Dempsey's Burger Pub, just a few minutes away from Red Lyon.
"It's always busy. We had people in here watching all the matches," said Derek Jennes, the bar manager at Dempsey's. "On Sunday, it was packed. It usually is for a big soccer match."
Although the Women's World Cup is over, Red Lyon and Dempsey's will attempt to maintain a strong audience for the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup, which began July 7 and will last through July 26.
"I think it's going to take people a little bit of time to kind of get back into it," Love said. "That World Cup takes a lot out of people. It's really exciting; people are just drinking and yelling and cheering. As soon as people start to get back to work and get into their daily routines, then we'll get to see more and more people come out for the Gold Cup." Jennes said he expects the same large crowds to show up to Dempsey's for the Gold Cup games.
"We always get busy during soccer games. It's just a bunch of fun," said Jennes. "I think people like to come here because we have a lot of TVs where everyone can see the games."
Love encouraged people to watch soccer matches in bars, mainly because of the atmosphere during games.
"It's wild. If there's a word to describe it, it's wild." Love said. "About every table is taken, every seat at the bar is taken, we're three-deep with people standing up. It's definitely electric."
Love said he wasn't really into soccer before he started working at Red Lyon.
"It's infectious," he said. "You come in and you get into it."
Robert Renteria, who took in the U.S. Men's National Team's 1-0 victory over Haiti in Friday's Gold Cup match at Red Lyon, explained why he prefers to watch soccer matches in bars.
"I like the camaraderie. Watching [matches] at home, there isn't as much excitement and atmosphere as there is at bars," said Renteria, who moved to Lawrence from California in February.
Red Lyon may offer drink specials to draw in more fans during the opening few Gold Cup matches.
"We usually do specials on Budweiser and Bud Light," Love said. "We're known about town for Guinness, so we don't really do a lot of specials on Guinness because people come in here for that."
Jennes said he doesn't think Dempsey's will offer many specials to bring customers in for the opening Gold Cup matches but will reevaluate as the tournament goes on.
"We just kinda feel it out,"Jennes said.

Most students prefer parents' healthcare over University's
CHANDLER BOESE
@Chandler_Boese
In the year since the Affordable Care Act was implemented at the University, 32 student employees have qualified for healthcare plans. This means they qualify for the plan offered to all state employees, said Ola Faucher, director of Human Resources.
The reason for this may be, Faucher speculates, that the student health insurance plans are sufficient enough for many students. However, some students may choose to stay on their parents' plans rather than look into employee or student plans.
Of these 32, two have opted to enroll in the plan.
The student healthcare package, which international students are required to purchase and graduate student employees are offered at a discount, is offered to all college students in Kansas through the Board of Regents. For an annual plan not including dependents, a student would pay $1,489.
At the end of this May,2,815 University students were enrolled in the student healthcare package, according to information provided by Breeze Richardson, director of communications for the Kansas Board of Regents. Of those, 1,344 were international students required to purchase the plan and 994 were graduate students, whose premiums are covered up to 75 percent by the University. That means 477 domestic undergraduates were enrolled in the plan.
As of the previous May, 2,731 students were enrolled in the plan, including 938 graduate students, said Richardson. At that time, domestic and international undergraduates were not broken up in reporting, but a total of 1,793 undergraduates were
enrolled.
Richardson said any change in the numbers cannot be exclusively attributed to ACA.
Another provision of ACA dictates that young adults can stay on a parent's plan until they turn 26 years old: Some student employees of the University choose this option over the student or employee health insurance plans.
Michael Cox, a sophomore from Augusta, works at the Anschutz Library circulation desk. He said he wasn't sure whether the University had offered him health care because he knew he already had health insurance.
"I may have been offered it when I was hired on at the library a year ago, but my dad's ex-military, so I do healthcare through the government that way," said Cox. "I just chose to

Fracking divides small town of Anthony, Kansas
REBECCA DOWD
@beccapfleger0
A class of fourth graders sits in the library of Harper Elementary School in Anthony, a small town in south central Kansas. Their eyes shoot up as books fall off shelves, the ceiling shakes above them and the ground trembles beneath them.
Hannah Alldritt, a librarian at the school, remembers the third grade class rushing outside after an earthquake in the fall of 2014. The teacher panicked as all the students cried.
Alldritt said the teacher was at a loss of how to reassure a class of 9-year-olds who had never experienced an earthquake. Eventually, this would become a common occurrence.
"By the end of the school year, we
had been through so many earthquake the kids barely registered them anymore," Alldritt said.
The small community of 2,269 is divided over the economic growth provided by oil companies' entrance into the town and the constant earthquakes that come from the hydraulic fracturing waste, said Grecia Rucoba,a junior from Anthony. The oil companies employ many people in the town, so some go to great lengths to protect the companies and argue the earthquakes are not correlated with drilling for oil, she said.
"Our community is divided now. People cannot decide whether to work for the oil company or fight the oil company," Rucoba said. "It was really hard for my family to decide whether they wanted to be a part of
the growing economy or fight it." Even though working for an oil company meant higher pay for Ricoba's dad, she said he still decided to quit his job.
"Since I have been living in Lawrence, I don't experience the frequent earthquakes, so I can't take a stance like my dad did," Rucoba said.
Earthquakes are only one effect from the oil companies' movement into the community, Alldritt said, and leasing land to the company impacts the entire community.
"Roads throughout the county were destroyed by oil trucks hauling heavy equipment, and that was a big point of contention because the people who lived on those roads were not necessarily the ones leasing land," Alldritt said. "There are several people, including the county
itself, who are leasing land to different oil companies for millions, but the rest of the town has to live with the repercussions without the monetary benefits."
The town of Anthony has experienced 36 earthquakes since March 1, 2015. In the past, the earthquakes only registered at magnitudes between a 2.0 and 3.0, but on June 5, Anthony residents experienced a 4.0 magnitude earthquake, according to the Kansas Geological Survey.
The increase in seismic activity is caused by oil production practices in Kansas, said Mike Taylor, associate professor of geology and specialist in active fault systems at the University. But many people misunderstand the cause of fracking-related earthquakes, he said.
Extracting oil from the ground
also extracts dirty water, and the only place for the water to go is back into the ground. The high frequency at which the water is shot into the ground causes plates to shift and creates frequent earthquakes. The water is being shot into the ground more often since the oil boom, Taylor said.
Drilling into the ground, has been going on for centuries, he said, but the difference in the way oil companies drill today and the amount of hydraulic fracturing water waste produced causes an increase in earthquakes.
In the past, oil companies drilled vertically, which only extracts a small amount of waste water. As the need for oil increases, companies

Performer works to set himself apart in saturated job market
KELLY CORDINGLEY
@KellyCordingley
He spends hours upon hours a day in his basement wracking his brain for what will set him apart from other artists. He plans each song with a message in mind, hoping he can contribute something more to the music industry than just another catchy song.
Rapper and performer Izzy Lee found his niche in music, and now that he has, he must set himself apart in a world of other aspiring young people. Lee, a senior majoring in communications and journalism at the University, is a one of many entrepreneurs in his generation trying to set himself apart.
"The market where I'm trying to be is just so saturated," Lee said. "Everything is, really. It makes you worry when the majority of college kids don't know where they'll be after graduation."
Lee is currently signed with Concore Entertainment, partnered with Universal Music Group out of Los Angeles. He said regardless of what a student majors in, finding a job after graduation is daunting and difficult. With the rates of unemployment for recent college graduates nearly double that of those older than 25, young people are struggling to set themselves apart now more than ever.
Director of Entrepreneurship Programs at the University Wallace Meyer Jr. said he recognizes that more students are struggling out of college, but his department's programs give students the resources for success later on.
"We provide you with the toolkit for problem solving," he said. "It's hard out there. But even if you don't plan on starting your own business or whether you're a music teacher or a history professor, we teach the tools you need for success."
According to the Economic Policy Institute, "graduating in a bad economy has long-lasting economic consequences. For the next 10 to 15 years, those in the Class of 2014 will likely earn less than if they had graduated when job opportunities were plentiful."
While Lee said the money factor crosses his mind, he's more concerned about making impactful music reminiscent of his role models.
"I want to make music with a message, not just a catchy beat," Lee said. "I really want to go into music and do something with it and be as great as some of the people I look up to like J. Cole, Jay Z and Kanye because those people have a high acclaim not only in music but people respect them, too."
According to a study by The Federal Reserve Bank of New York, in 2013, only 27 percent of recent college graduates had a job related to their major. A number that low is something Lee said concerns him as he gets ready to graduate.
"You don't know what is going to be out there, that's with any major or any medium," he said. "People seem to be having more and more trouble as we graduate."
Meyer said the University offers a program similar to those at Ivy League institutions in the way they teach students to think and be innovative.
"KU is pretty unique relative to the other 1,800-some public universities in that we have a series of courses aimed at how to validate an idea and how to think critically," Meyer said.
Two weeks ago, Meyer ran into a former student who recently opened an organic farming business drawing on the knowledge she'd obtained at the University.
"She started this all on the basis of the courses she'd taken here," Meyer said.

ICYMI: GET TO KNOW IZZY LEE
KELLY CORDINGLEY @KellyCordingley
Mac Miller and Cody Simpson are just some of the artists Izzy Lee, 21, has toured with.
Lee's first song was a hit on the radio station Hot 103 Jamz 103.3 FM and he had already been offered a record deal in the U.K. before he had even graduated high school. His resume of accomplishments is only the beginning.
After positive reaction from radio listeners, Lee sent his song "True Love Story" to producer Toby Gad who flew him to L.A. to work with singer Jessica Jarell. Since then, Lee has worked with various artists and began modeling and acting. Moving forward, Lee said deciding where he wants to take his music is the hard-
wants to take his music is the hardest part.
"It's complicated," he said. "I've been thinking about it a lot. I've had so many opportunities that came and went because I thought too long."
In addition to holding down a job and working on his music for his label, Lee is also striving be the first
in his family to graduate from college. He said he turned down a deal from Vibe Entertainment in the U.K.in order to stay in school.
"I would have had to quit school and that is one big thing with me," he said. "I can always continue with music. I'm graduating next year, so I'll have more than enough time and more knowledge to write about."
Lee said having a strong work ethic built up in college is crucial to knowing how to persevere in the difficult music industry.
"That's what I want to be about," he said. "Education is a big part of it; it builds you up."
Lee has stuck with his passion even when times were tough, from dry spells in writing music to no call-backs while still learning how to balance all he has taken on. His mother, Angie Lee, said she's proud of how her son handles the trials that come from being in the music business.
"The opportunities I've had, I'm very excited for, but I'm hungrier for more."
"I love the way he handles setbacks,"she said. "He
pushes through and doesn't linger on them; it's part of life. He rolls with it. I'm glad I was able to have a hand in instilling that. He sets his mind to do something, and he makes it happen."
She said she always knew he was talented but never expected music to be what her son wanted to pursue in the long run.
"I thought it was like all little boys who stand in front of the mirror with his mic," she said. "It became a passion for him, and I realized it was more than playing in the mirror. I really don't think he has a cap. The sky's the limit."

Rapper, Performer
Lee's barber, Otis Johnson from Shawnee, has known Lee for eight years and shares similar sentiments. Johnson compared Lee to artists like Drake and J. Cole and said Lee is one of the most talented young men he's met, both musically and personality-wise.
"He has such a wide range of abilities," Johnson said. "He's extremely talented. A lot of people are into electronic stuff instead of a real art form. He's a true artist. You get a lot of artists who all talk about their work and their success, but he's so humble. I can't say humble enough." While Lee said he's grateful to his
fans and for all the opportunities he's had, he said he knows he has to stay grounded to make it in this competitive business.
"It makes me hungry because I've been told before that my songs are at a point where they need to be higher in acclaim because they sound like artists that you see at the Grammys or something like that," Lee said. "The opportunities I've had, I'm very excited for, but I'm hungrier for more."
Lee's mother said the example he sets for his two younger sisters and the way he carries himself at a young age is enough to make any mother proud.
"For such a young man to have learned balance at such a young age, I'm so proud of him," she said. "As long as you can maintain balance, your life can be on an even field. I raised him to be a man, and I'm very proud of the man he is today."

IZZY LEE FROM PAGE 06
Lee said he anticipates he'll have to struggle as an up-and-coming artist moving to Los Angeles next year, but he'll persevere through it.
"The best advice I received is one thing I heard from a mentor of mine, a professor in COMS 301, and also from Mark Cuban, owner of Dallas Mavericks. It's one word: 'hustle.' This applies to everyone everywhere, you go out there and you hustle.It's all patience," Lee said.
He said social media acts as a double-edged sword for people seeking to be noticed.
"It's hard and it's easy because of the medium you have and how open it is," he said. "If you want to find anything, you can; if you want to be anything, you can be it, it's a click away. How many people do you see on Facebook, Twitter and Sound-cloud trying to be in the music industry, trying to open a business or be an actor? They're thinking the same thing you're thinking."

now drill horizontally and break up more ground, which means more water waste — causing more earthquakes, Taylor said.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, there were five earthquakes in Harper County in 2013 and 139 in 2014. There have been about 80 so far in 2015.
The U.S. went from producing almost 9.7 million barrels of oil a day in 2010 to almost 14 million barrels of oil a day in 2014, according to the International Energy Information Association. The state of Kansas produced about 111,000 barrels daily in 2010 and thus far in 2015 they have produced an average of 134,000 barrels daily, according to
the U.S. Energy Information.
"American price benchmark, which dropped to about $46 a barrel on [Jan. 12], would fall to $41 in three months and $39 in six months," according to a January 2015 article in The New York Times. As prices dropped in January, oil companies began moving out of Anthony.
"The price of oil dropped drastically, and of course it wasn't feasible for the oil companies to continue operating expensive horizontal drills," Alldritt said. "Different oil and energy companies are picking up and moving out and leaving the rest of us in a town with destroyed infrastructure, and nothing to show for it."
Sandridge Energy and Select Energy Oil representatives were unavailable for comment.

do it that way because it was going to be more affordable for me, since I pay for my own stuff. I get that until I'm 26 as long as I'm enrolled in school."
Emma Bean, a junior from Colorado Springs, Colo., agreed. Bean, who works at the College of Liberal Arts and Science's reception desk in Strong Hall, said she had no idea whether she'd been offered health care, but she knew she didn't take it.
"It honestly never occurred to me to look at what the University was offering me," Bean said. "I've just been on my mom's plan forever, so it was just so much easier."
Under ACA, this may hold true for many undergraduates. ACA states that if an insurance plan covers children, it will cover children until they turn 26 years old. According to the University's Office of Institutional Research and Planning, only 1,471 undergraduates,
or 7.8 percent, were 26 or older in the fall.
Although not all undergraduates, even if they are 26 or younger, are eligible to be covered under a parental plan, many now have the option under ACA.
In an effort to implement the ACA and minimize costs to the University, Human Resources set hour restrictions on students. Each on-campus undergraduate employee will only be allowed to work 20 hours per week during the school year and 40 hours per week in the summer.
Faucher said the limits were due to the University's implementation of ACA. Any employee working more than 30 hours over an extended period of time should be offered benefits by his or her employer, according to one provision of ACA.
In the coming year, Faucher said these restrictions will not change, but will be more strictly enforced.

Understand controversial subjects before judging
Jessica Goméz
@jessicataylurr
One of the most heated and controversial topics in the headlines right now is the banning of the Confederate flag. Since the shootings in Charleston, S.C., last month, people have argued for the removal of the flag from the state's capitol building and the banning of it entirely, based on its racially-charged history. The flag was removed on Friday, but questions remain about its future in the United States.
As with most things, there are two sides to every story. This also applies to the Confederate flag. To fully understand the flag, its meaning and the connotations that come
along with it, society needs to first educate itself on the history and background of this controversial piece of fabric.
According to New Historian, the flag originally represented Southern pride as well as the history of the South while the United States was split into North Territory and South Territory. It was the flag that stood for the territory the South claimed as its own during the Civil War against the North from 1861 to 1865. However, the Confederate flag wasn't adopted by the Confederate States themselves; it was only the battle flag Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia carried.
In the 20th century post-Civil War, the flag became associated with white supremacists and hate groups such as the Ku Klux Klan, later becoming controversial and a symbol of slavery and hate. The nation wasn't the culprit of keeping the Confederate flag alive, but these groups were.
It's important to realize what the South seemed to represent during the Civil Rights movement. Although blacks technically had rights under the Constitution, they could not be practiced in the South because of individual state laws. Because the Confederate flag represented the place these conditions took place, it became the unintentional logo of racism.
The Confederate flag would seem to represent different things to the South and its people. However, because the South lost, the flag was never used as an actual public symbol of the region. People might assume it is, but it's a fabric that was once a part of history.
The Confederate flag should be something we look at historically, not fearfully or shamefully. The rules our country had during that time period do not apply to the ones we have now and should not be viewed the same way. Those who have no historical understanding of the Confederate flag and see it simply as a symbol of "Southern pride" not only come across as uneducated but also ignorant.
Issues like this will always be seen as one side against another. The "stars and bars" of the Confederate flag represented many different things at a chaotic time period. At first, it was just a battle flag — a sign of pride, not of racism. It became a supposed signal of prejudice once adopted by hate groups.
Poet William Woodsworth once said, "Life is divided into three terms — that which was, which is, and which will be. Let us learn from the past to profit by the present, and from the present, to live better in the future."
Some parts of history were not always ideal, but in order to come together as a country, society needs to accept the past and move forward. The Confederate flag should not be banned, nor should it be idolized, but instead seen as how much our country has progressed since 1861.

Crepes and Taters owner shares inspiration behind restaurant
FRANK WEIRICH/KANSAN
The banana/chocolate crepe from Crepes and Taters on Massachusetts Street is one of 20 offered at the restaurant. Crepes are a type of thin pancake often with fruity or sweet fillings.
KELLY CORDINGLEY @KellyCordingley
Whether they're in Qatar, Dubai or Germany, the Chahines wake up every morning to get a taste of the local crepe scene. As they stroll the streets of any given city across the world at night, they stop at a Belgian fry stand to grab a cone of their favorite late-night treat.
But on May 1, Bassem Chahine and his wife, Elizabeth Chahine, opened Crepes and Taters at 1016 Massachusetts St.
"We travel everywhere, and my wife always came with me and her hobby was that she loved to buy crepes in every country we went to. Literally every morning she would drag me to go have breakfast and have crepes because she loved them," Bassem said. "When she saw the opportunity over here, she was like, 'Lawrence doesn't have a crepe store, so let's do one.'"
Crepes and Taters, previously Lebanese Flower owned by Bassem's father, operates in the kitchen of Fatso's. When Lebanese Flower closed, Elizabeth saw the opportunity to bring her love of crepes and Belgian fries to Lawrence.
"Those are the two things we really like to do, especially when we travel. Belgian fry stands in Europe are like hot dog stands in New York," Bassam said. "At night time when we're out strolling and having fun and we got hungry, we'd go for the Belgian fries and mornings were for crepes, so that's why we have the two together."
General Manager at Crepes and Taters Brooke Magdaleno said she's loved crepes since she began working at HOP at 16 years old and automatically loved the idea to open a
crepes-specific restaurant on Massachusetts Street.
"I think it's a really unique thing, definitely meant for a city-type area," Magdaleno said. "If we tried to open this outside of Mass Street, I don't think it would do as well. When we first opened, it was the last week of school so we had a lot of nighttime traffic. Right now we're bringing in a lot of couples and families."
Crepes and Taters offers sweet and savory crepes as well as Belgian fries with numerous dipping sauces. Bassem said the variety of options makes the new business even more exciting.
"It's not any crepe; it's gourmet. It's not just jam or Nutella on a crepe," he said. "This is very local, so we need to let the lunchtime and breakfast people know we exist. It's crepes; everyone loves crepes."
Bassem and Magdaleno said they anticipate late night traffic to pick back up when University students come back for the fall semester.
"With summer it kind of died, but when the locals came that's what saved us in the summer," he said. "Right now, we're aiming at the whole population here, whether you're out partying and want to sober up and have a Belgian fry at 2 a.m., or the working people who come to get a crepe in the morning."
Bassem said he thinks part of the draw people have to Crepes and Taters is the unique name and off-the-wall combination of crepes and Belgian fries.
"It's a catchy name; it's something very random," he said. "I hope it's helped business. I think the people who come here are in shock every time, but they love it."
TASTE OF CREPES AND TATERS
Blueberry Crepe
Although the blueberry sauce drizzled across the top was pretty, it was cold. Fresh blueberries would have made it better, but it seemed as if the blueberries were frozen and taken out to thaw only a few minutes before.
Sweet Mango Crepe
This was a perfect, heavenly combination. I added strawberries into this, and it was beyond delicious. I could have eaten eight of them. It was packed with mangos, delicious cream cheese and drizzled with some glorious orange-like sauce.
Banana/Chocolate Crepe
If you're a chocolate lover or don't mind having Nutella on your face, go for this one. It was fantastic, but so rich I couldn't finish it. No complaints, but know what you're getting into if you order this one. In hindsight, I would have added strawberries or another fruit in there to balance out the richness with something more fresh.
Apple Crepe
If I were trapped on an island and could choose between the Sweet Mango Crepe and this one, I can't say I could make a quick decision. The brie cheese in combination with the cinnamon drizzle and apple mixture was enough to keep me coming back every morning.
Shawarma Crepe
This was basically a gyro in crepe form. You can choose between chicken and beef as your meat option; then it's stuffed with cucumbers and tomatoes and drizzled with tzatziki sauce. The crepe was wrapped in a burrito-like form, and it was a perfect savory treat. The only problem I found was it left me happily full but craving a sweet crepe as dessert.
Fries with Avocado Ranch
These complimented the sweetness of the crepes perfectly. The fries had a unique flavor, not quite like a regular french fry, but also not something I'd ever had. They were delicious. Even without the dipping sauce they'd be a crowd pleaser. The regular size is large enough to share with three of four people, and the large is enough for nearly 10 people. It took near 10 minutes to chose a dipping sauce from the elaborate list, but avacado ranch was a wise decision. Nothing was oversalted, and the fries were just crispy enough.

Community gardens provide space for those with green thumb
The three children are working together to plant a tree in the garden.

Volunteers take care of the Garden Incubator community garden, a part of the city's Common Ground program, at Seventh and Walnut Streets. Started in 2012, the Common Ground program takes advantage of free space around Lawrence for people to grow their own healthy food.

Someone new to Lawrence would immediately notice the University of Kansas' influence, Massachusetts Street's charm and the man who stands on the street corner with the "Honk for Hemp" sign.
What they might not learn from driving around is the value the community holds for many individuals in Lawrence, an aspect that's increasing community gardens' popularity
"It's kind of getting out and helping plant yourself in the community, as much as planting a plant in your garden," said Aimee Polson, project coordinator for the Garden Incubator at Seventh and Walnut Streets.
Polson said she sees the various benefits of community gardens.
"I think it's just getting out and partnering up with other people, [...] getting your frustrations out by digging, or just sharing experiences and seeing what other people do," said Polson, who received her master's degree in urban planning from Kansas State University. "[The garden] is kind of a nice escape from your own house or your family in some instances."
Since 2012 when the city of Lawrence introduced the Common Ground program — with the goal of turning unutilized spaces into sites where citizens could grow their own healthy food — community gardens have popped up all over the city.
On July 11 and 12, the Kansas Permaculture collaborative included a permaculture community garden in its sixth annual Permaculture Urban Garden and Farm tour.
The Garden Incubator offers various plots that can be rented for $20 to $70 for one year but also has areas that volunteers can garden, as well as a children's garden. It also features a micro-farm with three different farming groups: hops, traditional vegetables and various types of flowers.
Once someone is in charge of a plot, it is solely up to them to take care of their crops for the remainder of their time.
Polson said she sees the wide variety of benefits in a community garden, aside from the obvious need for gardening space.
One of the main issues Polson sees in the garden — aside from the standard weeds — is theft, but she said she has plans to keep the garden open, gate- and lock-free.
"I think [putting locks and gates up] kind of sets the wrong tone, especially since we're on city-owned land," Polson said.
Polson has seen vegetables and
fruits stolen from the various plots. In one recent incident she found flowers from the garden in zip-close bags nearby. Polson said one solution to this problem is more signage throughout the garden, which will deter those who accidentally pick in the wrong areas.
Lawrence also offers a community orchard — the Lawrence Fruit Tree Orchard — located on a third of an acre on the 800 block of Garfield Street.
The orchard, which volunteers began planting in March 2012, offers a wide variety of fruits that might not be familiar to the average Kansas gardener. Some of these include ju-
jube, goumi, American persimmon, paw paw and hybrid hazelnuts, said Project Coordinator Skyler Adamson. The orchard is also home to familiar fruit trees such as apple, European pear and tart cherries.
"Anyone can come pick samplesize portions of the fruit," Adamson said. "We also have volunteer work days at least once a month. Anyone is welcome — people of all different ages and skill levels."
The community garden located at 1304 Pennsylvania St. charges a $25 membership fee, but instead of individual plots, it is more focused on keeping up the garden as a community.
Cody Wingfield, project coordinator in his second year of membership at the Pennsylvania Street garden, lives in an apartment and was looking for a way to get outdoors when he discovered the community garden.
"Before I found out about the program I was just doing the random search online and I stumbled upon the city's program, and when I found it it was basically love at first sight," he said.
The goal of the garden is to teach its members permaculture principles, which use natural features of

Lawrence All British Car Club spreads automotive enthusiasm

Members of the Lawrence All British Car Club park their cars outside of Conroy's Pub during their monthly meeting. British cars of all different makes and models show up there on the first Tuesday of every month.

The Conroy's Pub parking lot looks a bit different every first Tuesday of the month. Rather than the common fare of modern cars, the parking lot is transported back in time as droves of Austin-Healeys, MGs, Triumphs, Jaguars and Minis settle in for the evening.
One wouldn't expect a town in the middle of the Midwest to have much of any culture besides homegrown American, but the British automobile culture is alive and thriving through Lawrence's All British Car Club. With 33 members and an average of at least one British car per member, the sight of so many foreign cars lined up draws crowds at meetings.
"They're beautiful to look at and beautiful objects in their own right," said Charles Linn, president of LBACC, owner of a 1960 "Bugyee" Sprite, and communications director at the School of Architecture, Art and Design.
The culture of British cars in the U.S. dates back to WWII. The automobiles were first imported to the U.S. after the war because of its stronger economy. GIs returning from Europe brought with them an admiration for the cars, and the automobiles have kept a solid footing in American automobile culture ever since even in Lawrence.
Seth Lewin, a graduate student from Portland, Ore., and a member of the club, had recently purchased a 1974 MGB when he spotted the club's cars parked along Massachusetts Street one evening. A group member waved him over to park with the rest of the cars along the street, and the rest is history.
Owners of the older British cars must have an advanced skill set for maintaining and repairing the cars, due to the vehicles' foreign nature and outdated parts. Lewin said without the club, his car might not be as complete

CAR CLUB FROM PAGE 12
“[My car] has its needs, and I have to meet them,” he laughed. “It demystifies the car a little when you're forced to work on it a lot. You have to work on it yourself if you want it fixed. That's an experience that I think a lot of people with a more modern car don't have.”
Lewin said he didn't grow up with an automobile knowledge base, which makes the club a large support system for him. As one of the younger faces in a crowd of mostly-retired men, Lewin said he learns a lot from those who have years of experience on him.
"There's really a wealth of knowledge here, and a lot of it is firsthand knowledge, too," he said. "The value is in the firsthand knowledge that is here. Like anything else, it's a support group."
After 22 years, the LBACC faces a time of severe change. The club's
founder, James Mackenzie, died in early June, and the loss was felt hard at the first meeting after his death. Numerous members spoke of how he inspired them with his love of British automobiles, but more than anything else, they spoke about the legacy he leaves for a club so based on community.
Lewin was one among the many that Mackenzie helped throughout his time at the club. One night, a cylinder on Lewin's car blew out on the way to Kansas City. Because most antique British cars cannot be towed on an average tow truck, Lewin called Mackenzie to ask for a towing company reference. Instead, Mackenzie drove out with his own trailer to bring Lewin back in the middle of the night.
"I don't know where you'd meet people like that outside of here," he said.
A newer club member, Jon Jamison, said he felt the community spirit of the group as soon as he joined three
months ago. As someone who has just moved back to Lawrence after 35 years, the friendships the club provides are invaluable.
"The thing I like most about [the club] so far is the affection they have for each other," said Jamison, who graduated from the University in 1974 and owns a 1952 Morgan Plus 4.
Alan Miller, the club's event coordinator, said he hopes to see the club's community expand in the future. Due to the history of automobile service as a male-dominated field, the club is composed of mostly older, retired men.
"We have so much [information] and it needs to be spread around," he said. "If it's not [yet] a club for the young, it's a club for the young at heart."
Miller, a six-year member who owns two Lotuses and a Bugeye Sprite, said he is happy to see the members' wives attending meetings but is pushing for more.

Lawrence karaoke culture draws crowds at Burger Stand
KATE MILLER
@_Kate_Miller_
It's 10:15 p.m. on a Wednesday at Burger Stand at the Casbah, and it looks pretty much like expected — a few people taking advantage of $5 burgers, others finishing up their last rounds at the bar.
But as the clock ticks closer to 10:30 p.m., an entirely new crowd starts to trickle in, making its way past the bar and up the stairs to the second floor. The regular crowd is a mix of high schoolers, college students and recent graduates, and established townies. They're all here to do one thing — sing their hearts out
for karaoke night.
Karaoke culture is a staple in Lawrence, with karaoke nights occurring across town six times a week at various locations. Many people who attend karaoke night at Burger Stand at 803 Massachusetts St. also attend other karaoke nights during the week, and the Burger Stand's karaoke draws between 35 and 150 people per week.
"Karaoke is sort of a common language," said Chris Hoffman, host of last week's Burger Stand karaoke night. "A lot of people come out to laugh with people and laugh at them as well."
Hoffman was one of the first hosts
who started karaoke night at the Burger Stand five years ago. The hosts purchased their own karaoke materials to bring once a week, the same materials used today.
However, while the karaoke materials have stayed the same, the people haven't. A good deal of the business is driven by college students during the year, and Hoffman said it's a "rite of passage" to see so many come through the doors and eventually graduate over the years.
The attendees aren't the only ones who have changed over the year. The Burger Stand almost closed down

KARAOKE FROM PAGE 14
its karaoke night recently when the original hosts quit the program. Hoffman said he came to the rescue to resume the program and "struck a deal to get it back on track."

One of these groups of returning customers is a mix of Lawrence and Free State high school students who come to karaoke night after an evening of theater rehearsal at the Lawrence Arts Center.
Now, the karaoke night is back in full swing, with returning customers bringing their singing back every week.
Joaquin Dorado, a rising senior at Lawrence High, sang three songs within the first 45 minutes of the program: "Clint Eastwood," "Crazy Little Thing Called Love," and "Don't Go Breaking My Heart."
"I just love that I can sing with all of my friends and have fun and not care about whether I'm hitting the notes right," Dorado said. "If I mess up, I can just laugh it off. It's just a great way to spend a Wednesday night with the friends."
Even though two of the songs Dorado sang
were released before he was born, he fit in with the older genre of music performed during the night. Oldies were a go-to for many performers that evening, and audience members sang along, contributing to a feeling of community and support.
It's this positive environment that keeps audiences coming back, such as Will Chatfield-Taylor, who attended karaoke for 4 1/2 years.
"I had a group of friends who originally got me to come out and start singing with them, and when they eventually stopped coming, I just came back here to socialize," Chatfield-Taylor, a 2015 University graduate, said.
Wednesday night, he sang "Flagpole Sitta" with Hoffman — the pair's signature song. With friends like Hoffman who DJ the karaoke night, Chatfield-Taylor said the Burger Stand is his one and only place to sing karaoke.
For Hoffman, being both a host and a performer on this karaoke night would seem to give him the insight into why the event was, and continues to be, so popular.
"It's makes people feel like they're the lead singer of the band," Hoffman said.

Local pop-punk trio Four Arm Shiver announces new album
HARRISON HIPP
@HarrisonHipp
The future looks bright for a group of local musicians whose poise and persistence has earned them a record deal.
Lawrence-based pop-punk band Four Arm Shiver, which originally got its start in Emporia, came together when the members — bassist Logan Herrera, guitarist Joel Austin and drummer Ryan Schlotterbeck — met while attending Emporia High School.
The trio recently announced its plans to sign with Smash My Records, a Kansas record label located in Chanute. They will release their second full-length album titled "Something About My 20s" this fall.
The record's release is set for this September, and it will be available in CD and vinyl formats.
"Our producer Cody Nichols, who
is head of Smash My Records, has been one of the most amazing people to work with," Herrera said. "We are very thankful to be a part of the Smash My Records team and can't wait to grow with them."
The band has headlined concerts in neighboring states such as Colorado, Nebraska and Oklahoma, while building a solid local following. Schlotterbeck said the band is currently scheduling fall and spring mini-tours to promote its upcoming record.
All three members share vocal responsibilities on stage and describe their music as pop-punk. The group cited various musical influences but could not put a finger on one in particular.
"We're a little more on the punkrock side of pop punk," Herrera said. "We all have a very wide range of influences."
Four Arm Shiver was recently part
of a full slate of music last Wednesday in the basement of the Eighth Street Taproom. The band has played the venue twice before but performed there for the first time in 2015 last week.
"Playing live is always an exhilarating experience," Schlotterbeck said. "I try to focus any nervousness into playing with more feeling. When I'm really in tune, I can totally lose myself while still carrying the song."
Four Arm Shiver has two albums currently available on its Bandcamp, a streaming website for artists to post their music. The band's site is the main way it distributes music to fans.
The band's first album, a nine-song self-titled release, was recorded in the summer of 2013 at their parents' houses and released in late July 2014.
The band was also featured on "Lawrence Kansas Punk Rock Vol.
1," a 24-track compilation album recorded at Revealed Studios in Chanute, which is owned and operated by Smash My Records. The album was a collaborative effort with Lawrence punk-rockers The Rackatees and The Sluts, among others.
The members of Four Arm Shiver came together as a group of unruly high school students in 2008 looking for an outlet for their musical talents and for something bigger than themselves.
"I feel liberated when we're playing. Liberated from the real world, our responsibilities and our flaws," Herrera said. "I guess that's the romantic way of looking at it, because we're really just three friends participating in makeshift therapy."
For Austin, the best part of performing is the people he does it with.
"You've got the friendship level where you get to hang out with your best friends, doing things you love
and going places," he said. "Then, or course, music. It's powerful. It's fun. Even if we're playing to an empty room or something it's still just a great time for all of us."
Over the last eight years of playing music together, Four Arm Shiver has evolved into a working class band ready for the next step in the music industry. In addition to growing stronger as a unit, the individual members have also learned a lot about themselves.
"I used to be a scrimmy little punk who didn't care about much let alone many other people," Austin said. "The band has given me friends, family and the best time ever. It forced me to become responsible for myself."
Four Arm Shiver will play again at 10:30 p.m. Thursday at the Eighth Street Taproom, located at 801 New Hampshire St.
GARDENS FROM PAGE 11
a garden for self-containment and self-sustainability, said Laura Odell, permaculture adviser for the garden. There are no pesticides used, and the watering is done largely from rain runoff. Four 500-gallon rainwater catchment barrels assist by distributing the water around the garden through attached hoses. Members can learn about disease identification, pest management, crop rotation and any skills needed to maintain a permaculture garden.
Odell said she became interested in permaculture when she was pregnant with her son and became hyper-aware of the environment.
"What we put in our bodies ultimately determines our own health and so I started teaching myself organic gardening," she said.
Odell eventually received her permaculture certification in a 72-hour class from Kaw Permaculture under
her mentor, Steve Moring, who also teaches permaculture design at the University.
In the class, students take workshops in permaculture design and learn about organic crop rotation, among other things. This certification gives Odell the ability to plant effective permaculture gardens that follow specific principles, as taught in the course.
"A primary purpose of permaculture is to build up soil fertility; we're using all organic controls so the health of the soil will determine the health of the plant," Odell said.
Common Ground community gardens are always looking for volunteers and members. A list of community gardens and contact information for project coordinators can be found on the City of Lawrence website.
Steve Moring, a lecturer in the environmental studies program, could not be reached for comment.

'Elder Scrolls Online' takes an arrow to the knee, disappoints
FRANK WEIRICH
@LetMeBeFrank23
My experience with the Elder Scrolls series is pretty limited, given I started with "Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim." However, I enjoyed the game and the Internet references so much I picked up "The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited" without hesitation.
I was excited for Bethesda Studios' latest installment of the game series, and the online component looked to impress. The issue with Tamriel Unlimited isn't a failure to deliver but rather the simple fact that Elder Scrolls isn't prepared for the world of online gaming.
Acting as a lovechild between the hugely successful massive multiplayer online game "World of Warcraft and the Elder Scrolls series, Tamriel Unlimited handles the socialization feature of online gaming well but overlooks the necessity of uniting players in a common goal.
Often, missions are easier to finish alone than with allies simply because of the number of players running around the scenes. There's no need for groups because large mobs of single players swarm enemies. Quest bosses that would be tough to fight alone are easily swallowed by a mosh pit of low-level players, taking away a fair amount of challenge.
Although combat remains true to the Elder Scrolls style, the introduction of powers is new. Similar to other layouts of popular multiplayer games, powers are assigned to specific traits such as stealth, light armor and enchantments. Some powers are race- and class-specific.
Tamriel Unlimited's approach to power usage is a definite success, allowing the pace of combat to remain quick and fun. However, a striking problem facing the user interface is the lack of weapon assignment. Instead of being able to easily switch
between a bow and sword, for example, players must enter an inventory menu to manually switch. This isn't a new concept for Elder Scrolls, so the decision to leave it from the game or hide the feature doesn't make sense.
As far as gameplay goes, there isn't a massive change from the Elder Scrolls style. Quest-driven and lore-intensive, Tamriel Unlimited doesn't offer much in terms of storytelling early on. For a game series banked heavily off the plot, Bethesda seems to have painted itself into a corner, being forced to simplify storylines to work with an online community.
The Elder Scrolls
ONLINE
While enjoyable, there's nothing particularly notable about the game, especially when compared to other games in the Elder Scrolls series. Caught somewhere in the middle, Tamriel Unlimited contains all the minutiae of online gaming, yet none of the substance of Elder Scrolls.
If you're looking for an online game to waste time on, your money is better spent elsewhere. Bethesda should stick to what it knows, and that is single player storylines — at least until the company is brave enough to go all the way for online.
Players unfamiliar with the entirety of the Elder Scrolls series will have a confusing first couple of quests, simply embarking on missions to both level up and understand their roles in the game. The explanation for conflict in Tamriel seems forced and unnecessary. Bethesda would have had an easier time simply letting players wander free to choose their own alliances rather than forcing them to pick a faction that holds no significance to casual players.
Ultimately, Tamriel Unlimited fails to live up to the hype. Bethesda Studios', attempt to transition its flagship series to online failed to go far enough in its Internet debut, making the game seem like a watered-down "World of Warcraft."

Team USA to play for gold in World University Games DID TEAM USA WIN? FOLLOW US ON TWITTER @KANSANSPORTS TO FIND OUT
DYLAN SHERWOOD
@dmantheman2011
The U.S. national team, composed mostly of Kansas men's basketball players, will play against Germany for a gold medal in the World University Games at 7 a.m. Monday as this issue reaches newsstands.
Team USA ranks first in the tournament in scoring at an average of 80.4 points per game; Germany is ranked fourth, averaging 77.5 points per game. Germany has allowed an average of 53.5 points per game; Team USA allowed an average of 58.3 points per game.
Expect a close game for both teams. Germany has played one less game than Team USA; Germany's pool was comprised of five teams, while Team USA's pool had six teams.
The Jayhawks have already played close games against Turkey, Brazil, Serbia and Russia in the tournament and won all of them. Their closest game of the tournament was in pool play, defeating Serbia by one point, 66-65. Germany's only close game in the tournament was against Canada in the quarterfinals of the gold medal bracket, which Germany by six points, 79-73.
When Team USA left for South Korea on June 26, coach Bill Self said it was going to be a fun trip for the team, instead of the usual business trip that happens every time the Jayhawks play away from Lawrence.
In addition to the opportunity to bring home gold — certainly a "fun" experience — this trip allowed Kansas players to get more experience
under their belts and become more of a team.
Junior guard Wayne Selden has improved the most this summer. Selden, who averaged 9.4 points per game as a sophomore in the 2014-15 season, currently averages 18.9 points in seven games in the World University Games. That's a 9.5 point difference from last season.
Senior forward Hunter Mickelson's improvements are not far behind. Only playing in 19 games as a junior and averaging 2.4 points per game, Mickelson currently averages 8.6 points in seven games.
Three players have seen a slight change in their averages from last year. Both junior guard Frank Mason's and senior Perry Ellis' performances have had slight changes from last season. Mason averaged 12.4 points as a sophomore; Ellis averaged 13.8 points as a junior.
Senior forward Jamari Traylor has also seen a 1.4 point differential from last year's average in the World University Games. Traylor averages 3.4 points per game in the World University Games.
Let's not forget freshman guard LaGerald Vick and freshman forward Carlton Bragg, two of three newcomers to Kansas for the 2015-16 season. Vick averages 4.9 points; Bragg has averaged 3.1 points per game during the World University Games.

Football plan focuses on recruits from the state of Kansas

KANSAN FILE PHOTO
Coach David Beaty explains the talent Kansas football signed for the 2015-16 season at a press conference on Feb. 4. Kansas football's new recruiting strategy focuses on recruits from the state of Kansas.
DEREK JOHNSON
@DJohnson1510
In 2003, a running back from Olathe North High School finished fifth in voting for the Heisman Trophy, college football's biggest award. Standing at just 5-foot-6, Darren Sproles "grew up wanting to come [to KU] and got turned away because former coach Terry Allen considered him too small," according to KU Sports.
Instead, Sproles attended Kansas State and was the star of a team that finished 14th in the final AP Poll rankings.
In 2014, Kansas went 3-9, while Kansas State finished 9-4. The Wildcats also defeated the Jayhawks 51-13 in late November. One big difference among the teams last year was almost 39 percent of Kansas State's roster consisted of players from Kansas high schools. Only 20 percent of Kansas' roster — in total, 19 players for Kansas compared to 45 for Kansas State — hailed from the Sunflower State.
"For us to do what we really want to do we have to take care of the state of Kansas and we've started that process," Beaty said following National Signing Day. "In the future we have to continue to make those relationships count."
In his short time at Kansas, Beaty has already made recruiting the state a priority. His dedication, along with the rest of his staff, has gotten the attention of high school coaches around the state, including Bishop Miege High School coach Jon Holmes, who won the Kansas 4A-I state title last year.
"You look at some of the walk-ons
[Kansas was] able to get only in a couple short months; that's gonna help," Holmes said. "K-State's made a living doing that, and that's who you've got to beat to be the best team in the state."
As the team focuses on beating its in-state rival, Kansas football begins a new era this coming fall. Gone is former head coach Charlie Weis. Double-digit starters departed from last year's roster, 11 of whom are getting a shot in the NFL this fall. Only two teams — University of Texas at San Antonio and South Alabama — in the entire Football Bowl Subdivision return less starters.
It's an uphill battle, but Beaty leads the rebuilding of a program with just 12 wins in the last five years. Along with Beaty, the rest of the Kansas coaching staff is replenishing the Jayhawks' future roster by reaching out to every high school in Kansas.
"They were going out to western Kansas schools that I don't think KU's ever been to," Holmes said. "They're definitely dedicated to doing it."
"Over the last 20 years I've been doing this job, this is probably the most excited I been about KU trying to get out and recruit our kids," Rose Hill High School football coach Ray Boese said. "This is a new era for KU football."
The Jayhawks already have seven commitments in the 2016 recruiting class, none of whom are from the state of Kansas. Once Kansas football starts to yield the results of recruiting in-state, it could have one of its best recruiting classes in years.
The most important reason for Kansas to recruit well in-state is to help them compete against K-State
and a program that has more wins in the last two seasons than Kansas has in the last five.
Already, Holmes said, Kansas is developing bonds with many high school coaches around the state.
"They really trust what the high school coach tells them. I think
that's probably the biggest difference between this staff and the last staff," Holmes said. "They're going to ask what the coach's opinion is and if the coach likes the guy then they offer a lot quicker than they used to."
In other states, that trust has led the Jayhawks to a strong recruiting
presence. Kansas currently has more commits than Oklahoma and Texas and is ahead of K-State in current Big 12 recruiting rankings.
Beaty and Kansas football coaching staff were unavailbale for comment.

Kelly Oubre Jr.'s summer league debut promising
SCOTT CHASEN
@SChasenKU
"It's only Summer League. It doesn't matter."
If you try to make a point about any of the players featured in one of the NBA summer leagues, that's often the response you're met with: "It doesn't matter."
Well, for Kelly Oubre Jr., Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns did matter, and it did show us something.
Oubre's first test was a daunting one, as he matched up with Suns guard Archie Goodwin, who has already gone through two years of
NBA competition. Goodwin was
drafted at just 18 years old, but that doesn't mean he's not an NBA-quality athlete. Instead, it's just the opposite.
At 20 years old, Goodwin has more NBA experience than most players his age, and he's made a couple of highlight reels along the way.
However, Oubre was more than up to the task.
AARON GROENE/KANSAN
Early on, he used his defensive ability and length to lock Goodwin down, which led to several steals and transition opportunities. Oubre's ability to step up and guard a smaller, quicker, more experienced player was certainly a sight to see and may

Nutritional needs vary between strength-, cardio-based athletes
GARRETT LONG
@Garrettkenlong
For different types of athletes, nutritional needs such as carbohydrates and proteins vary in importance, and even more so when compared to the average Joe.
Marty Glenn, a clinical dietitian and a health, sport and exercise lecturer at the University, said an average person needs about 2,000 to 2,500 calories a day, compared to athletes' 3,500 minimum. Deciding which foods makes up those calories is directly tied in with athletes' performance and often reflects their dietary decisions.
BEST SOURCES FOR MACRONUTRIENTS
Carbs Fats Protein
All whole wheat:
rice vegetable oils red meats
salad dressing chicken
bagels tuna cheese
bread salmon milk
pasta milk
Source: Marty Glenn, clinical dietitian/health, sport and exercise sciences lecturer
"Good or bad nutrition is a choice," said Clark Campbell, Kansas swimming and diving coach. "The better choices the athlete makes, generally the better the performance."
a football player, to meet the protein needs of someone who weighs 250 pounds, that requires 150-200 grams of protein [a day]," Glenn said. "The best source for that is meat and dairy."
According to the International Olympic Committee Nutrition for Athletes guide, proteins are important to athletes because they are a form of amino acids that helps rebuild and grow muscle. Protein is important for all athletes and is most important for those bulking up to gain muscle, Glenn said.
The FDA recommends a daily protein intake of 50 grams for a normal 2,000-calorie diet, but higher levels are necessary to meet athletes' high demands of training. Lower-fat sources of protein better for athletes include cottage cheese, skim milk and lean meats.
letes' calories. The percentage of carbohydrates athletes should aim for depends on the type of activity they complete.
"To a strength-training athlete like
Runners, soccer players and other on-the-go athletes should be in the 60 to 70 percent range, while more stationary athletes, such as football players, should eat a lower percentage range of their calories in carbs. Glenn said to aim for whole wheat rice, breads and pasta packed with a range of nutrients.
Athletes in cardio-based sports such as basketball and soccer need the protein for muscle gain as well, but Glenn said during extensive training the body will resort to burning protein for fuel. It is just as important to eat protein after strenuous training, not just in preparation for a workout.
Carbohydrates are more important for runners, as they are used as fuel for the body.
“[Carbohydrates for runners are] almost like the protein for football players," Glenn said.
Glenn said carbohydrates should make up 50 to 70 percent of ath-
Ashley Herda, a lecturer in the department of health, sport and exercise sciences, also said fats are not as bad as they're made out to be.
According to the FDA, the percentage of daily recommended carbs is right in the middle of the recommendations for athletes at 60 percent of daily calorie intake. There is a difference in the sheer number of carbs athletes need to consume to meet the higher calorie needs, Glenn said.
"Fat kind of gets vilified because people tend to overdo it and are told to stop eating fat, where the better advice is to cut down on it," said Glenn, who recommends vegetable oils, salad dressing and fish oil as sources for healthy fats.
Herda and Glenn both emphasized the importance of water. Herda said salt should be added to drinking water to replenish sodium levels lost during exercise.
"Sodium activates different pathways that make sure your body is retaining water so your systems don't dehydrate," Herda said.
Sports drinks have added sodium for that very reason, she said.
Even non-athletes need to watch what they eat because a good diet can give more energy and keep people productive throughout the day, Glenn said.

because of eligibility or injuries three of whom are returners from last year.
Junior guard Brannen Greene, recovering from hip surgery he underwent in April, averaged 5.7 points per game last season.
Sophomore guard Devonte' Graham also averaged 5.7 points per game last season. Graham was injured on June 17 with a partial tear in his tendon above his left knee.
Sophomore guard Svi Mykhailiuk is not on the trip, as Mykhailiuk is ineligible because he's not a U.S. citizen. Mykhailiuk averaged 2.8 points per game as a freshman.
The final player left out of the tournament is freshman forward Cheick
Diallo, who is also not a U.S. citizen. Diallo, who was a top-10 recruit in ESPN's Top 100 for the class of 2015, was born in Mali.
Playing in the summer means the Jayhawks are getting more experience playing together, further preparing them for the 2015-16 season. As long as Kansas continues to play the basketball it wants to play, this tournament could help the team in the near future.
With all the experience Kansas has and the extra playing time received this summer in the World University Games, Kansas could be an early contender to be a top team in the nation.
OUBRE FROM PAGE 22
very well be a sign of things to come.
Sure enough, Oubre finished with an impressive double-double, posting 20 points and a game-high 10 rebounds.
But what does it mean? After all, it's still "just" the Summer League, right?
This is actually a question worth addressing. Yes, the games being played don't tell you as much as a regular season NBA game or even a pre-season NBA game. And yes, the sample size at the point for Oubre at the professional level is just one game.
However, that doesn't mean there aren't any takeaways.
We, for the most part, knew Oubre would be able to do a few things quite well at the NBA level right from the start. Oubre was a strong defender at Kansas, and he was among the best at rebounding his position in college. Oubre finished second on the Jayhawks in rebounds, as well as second in the Big 12 for all non-frontcourt players.
Both skills translated quite well on Saturday.
Oubre left his fingerprints all over the game and looked much better than a player who was selected outside of the NBA's last draft lottery, but that should come as a surprise to no one who has followed the career of the former Jayhawk.
As Oubre proved on draft day, he is a supremely confident person,
and he has a good bearing on what he can do at the NBA level. He's not a guy who's going to play outside of his game, which is one of the reasons he looked so sharp against the Suns.
And even in a loss, there were plenty of positives to go around, perhaps none bigger than this: Oubre went toe-to-toe with one of the more loaded Summer League teams and didn't look out of place. He didn't look like a college kid; he didn't look like a rookie.
Oubre fit right in and showed he belonged. Now the challenge will be for him to do it on a consistent basis, as he works toward his previously stated goal of becoming Rookie of the Year, however likely it seems.

LAURON GROENE/KANSAN Lawrence Police Department introduces canine unit
CB's handler is Weidl, an officer with the LPD since 1998. Weidl, who formerly worked with the LPD's training, firearms and patrol
KATE MILLER

With a wagging tail, lolling tongue and eager-to-please attitude, CB seems like any other dog. But with the capability to sniff for drugs, track criminals and serve as a formidable patrol animal, he's the furthest thing from "normal."
CB is one of two new Police Service Dogs joining the Lawrence Police Department this summer. Brought over from breeders in Europe and trained in Topeka, the PSDs are the first in Lawrence Police Department history.
"They're not pets," Officer Matt Weidl said. "It's considered a tool. If something calls for the use of the dog, then that's, in a sense, the tool that we use."
units, had never worked with a PSD before he applied for the position.
"It's always been an interest," he said. "I just kind of jumped on the coattails and went with it and was asked to participate in the canine program."
Weidl and CB, a 2-year-old German Shepherd-Malinois mix, went through 10 weeks of training with the Kansas Highway Patrol starting in May, and the pair graduated July 1. Like any new job, it's been a learning curve.
"Being in law enforcement as long as I have, I thought I knew at least a little bit about everything," Weidl said. "Once I started the canine program, it was like starting over. It's tough."
The training program was the most intense program Weidl said he had been a part of. Five days a week, seven handlers and their dogs traveled all over the state to train. The dogs started off learning how to track
footprints with treats and eventually learned how to search for evidence, recognize drug odors and search buildings.
CB was almost 2 years old when he began his training. Just like the new handlers were "green," the dogs were
"green dogs."
"Just like a little kid, you teach those dogs what you want them to do," Weidl said. "It's like having another kid — I have three kids, this is

my fourth kid.
"I think he obeys me better than my own kids do, so that's a good thing," he laughed.
The dogs were selected for the LPD by a company in San Antonio, said Capt. Anthony Brixius, supervisor for the PSD program. The dogs were tested and rated on their drive, listening ability, interaction with other people and dogs and their tolerance for loud and distracting situations. The dogs' future jobs were determined by their test results.

as well as a special air conditioning system to keep him cool during the summer heat.
Because the other PSD unit graduated earlier and has been in service longer, the other pair has seen slightly more action than Weidl and CB, Brixius said.
Officer Matt Weidl stands with his Patrol Service Dog, CB. CB, a German Shepherd-Malinois mix, has been with the LPD since July 1.
A typical day for Weidl and CB involves patrolling in Weidl's squad car — emblazoned with "Caution K-9" — and performing article and vehicle sniffs for illegal substances. CB spends his time behind a partition in Weidl's car, with enough room to move around and lie down,
al not a house pet.
"I don't have much interaction with it when I'm off duty," Weidl said. "His off duty is kind of like us: if you've worked all week and you have the weekends off, I just let him do his thing — let him relax and decompress in a sense."
"We've been on the verge of a child we thought was missing for a while, and right as we called [the PSD unit] over, we were able to find the child," Brixius said. "It's more of a 'when you need it, it's so important that you have it.' We learned that in other cases leading up to this, whether it was a canine from another agency finding a gun tossed after a robbery [...] or tracking people who committed violent crimes."
Barring some extreme circumstance, Weidl will work with CB until the day the dog is retired. PSDs can usually work between 8 and 12 years on the job, and with the two spending so much time together, Weidl said they have already started to form a working relationship.
AARON GROENE/KANSAN
When the pair is off-duty, CB lives with Weidl and his family. Although Weidl has socialized the dog to his family, CB still remains a profession-
"We understand each other," he said. "We tolerate each other, to the point where they talk a lot about the alpha role between the handler and the dog. The dog understands that I'm at that alpha role. He's got to do what I tell him to do.
"I think it's a good bond," he continued. "I can open up the slider on my vehicle, and he'll come up and he'll sniff me and he'll lick me. [When I talk to him] it's not always abrupt, it's not always a command. I still talk to him like he's my kid and
joke around with him in different voices and different tones. I don't know, I can't ask the dog what he thinks, but I think we have a good bond."

Incoming freshmen can choose tuition plans
The University of Kansas is allowing incoming freshmen to choose whether they want to lock into a four-year tuition rate or gamble on yearly tuition increases starting this fall.
Tuition is not increasing as rapidly as it has in the past, said Erinn Barcomb-Peterson, director of news and media relations for the University. If tuition rates increase at a slower rate, it may save students money to opt out of the four-year tuition price compact, which has initially higher tuition rates but protects students against sudden spikes in cost.
"The University strives to remain competitive with our peers," Barcomb-Peterson said in an email. "That means meeting keeping tuition priced competitively and being a good value for students."
The compact plan began with incoming freshmen in fall 2007, according to The University of Kansas Tuition
Proposal. With the compact, tuition rates do not increase for four years, after which the compact expires.The plan expires because the University wants to encourage all students to graduate in four years, according to the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships.
The compact starts with steeper rates because it takes into account potential increases. Now, incoming freshmen can take a lower first-year rate but potentially get caught in a tuition spike later on. The choice is up to the incoming freshmen and their families.
The University of Kansas is the only Kansas regent school that offered a fixed four-year tuition rate for incoming freshmen, according to the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships.

Call center to bring 333 jobs to Lawrence
USA800, a call support center out of Kansas City, Mo., will invest more than $3.5 million in a 20,000-square-foot facility at the Interstate-70 Business Center, bringing 333 jobs to Lawrence, according to a press release from the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce.
With a growing customer base and new contracts, USA800 looked at multiple markets across the Midwest to set up a new facility. The press release cites Lawrence's facilities and call center workforce as reason for setting up shop in the city. The facility will open Aug.1.
"It's going to increase job opportunities here, and it's going to increase job opportunities for students," said Economic Development Project Manager at the Chamber of Lawrence Brady Pollington. "It will also soak up the layoffs from the Results Company [call center] exiting our market."
-Garrett Long
The Business Center, at 1025 North Third St., will hold a job fair from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Aug. 5 to Aug. 7. Applicants can visit USA800.com for more information.
USA800 partnered with local Lawrence organizations including the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce and the Economic Development Corporation of Lawrence and Douglas County to help develop the call center in a beneficial way to USA800 and Lawrence.
The boost in jobs the call center will bring is expected to help improve Lawrence's economy as well.
"The company's investment in Lawrence will contribute to our state's continued economic growth," Pat George, Kansas commerce secretary, said.

Campus must remain exempt from concealed carry
Ross Lubratovic
@RossThaBoss93
A Kansas law relaxing regulations on carrying concealed weapons went into effect July 1.
The law, which allows anyone over age 21 to carry a concealed firearm, has exempted universities until 2017 with the purpose of assessing the security of campus buildings. The Kansas Board of Regents should strongly push the legislature to make this exemption permanent.
For all of the 17 years I've been in school, campuses have been considered safe places. When I was younger, my mom even used to tell me to hang out at school if I didn't feel safe leaving. Allowing anyone over age 21 — like 44 percent of the student body in 2014, according to the University's Office of Institutional Research and Planning — to carry a concealed weapon onto the campus would no longer make me feel safe.
According to a 2013 study published in the Journal of American College Health, 79 percent of students surveyed also stated they would not feel safe with others carrying concealed weapons on campuses.
Supporters of the legislation might argue the possibility that
people on campus carrying firearms would deter gun-related violence; however, the current concealed carry laws on campuses seem to be sufficient in keeping violence away from colleges.
According to a report from the Education Resources Information Center, only 15 murders were committed on college campuses nationwide in 2010, while a total of 11,078 gun-related homicides were reported in the same year throughout the rest of the U.S. Simply allowing anyone to conceal a firearm will encourage more violence rather than prevent it.
The law does not require gun owners to receive training before being allowed to carry their weapons. In other words, it would be completely legal for someone like me, who has
only fired a weapon maybe twice in his life, to buy a gun and carry it with me to class on a regular basis. I would not even feel safe handling a gun, much less carrying it with me wherever I went. It would only be a matter of time before someone with as little experience would be responsible for the death of an innocent person.
For now, the University still prohibits weapons on campus, but it should remain that way past the end of the exemption in 2017. Allowing the law to take effect elsewhere in the state is a different matter, but campuses of learning institutions need to continue to be safe places for their students.

Strong romantic feelings are not something we should be ashamed of
Anissa Fritz
@anissafritzz
In my first semester at the University of Kansas, I noticed something very different about college.
It wasn't the large amount of homework or the sudden amount of freedom I now had as a college student. What I observed was that
having a boyfriend or girlfriend was no longer considered "cool"; in fact, it was looked down upon.
If you did have feelings for someone, you had better not show it too much because focusing your romantic interests on only one person was, for lack of a better term, "clingy."
I'm not sure when many young adults like myself adopted the mentality that having strong, romantic feelings for another person was wrong, but I do know this. mentality needs to stop. I believe the best love stories are the ones that are passionate, deep and full-hearted.
The problem is not that this generation isn't capable of these strong
feelings, but that we are afraid to show we have them at all. A twisted mindframe has been established that equates strong feelings for one person with weakness.
Although having intense feelings for another person can make you feel vulnerable, this does not mean it's wrong to feel them. Going out every night and waking up the next morning not remembering what you did the previous evening can seem appealing at first glance, but those who have led this lifestyle know that, over time, living in that mindset leaves a feeling of emptiness.
Caring about someone to the
point where money is no longer the most important thing, and you honestly would rather just stay in pajamas and watch a movie with your significant other than go out one night is not an indicator that you are "whipped." It shows you are mature enough to embrace romantic feelings without fear or hesitation.
Humans are not wired to be alone. We need companionship, connection and relationships. So when you do come across a true romantic connection, don't hold back.

Energy use on campus
The University's Lawrence campus spreads across more than 1,000 acres and is comprised of 128 buildings. Altogether, these buildings use about 125,000,000 kilowatt-hours of energy a year and 500,000 mmbtu.
- George Werth, a campus engineer, provided this information.
- Campus energy use is highest in the summer and early fall.
- Cassi Reimer, the Energy Conservation Specialist at the Center for Sustainability, said she is working with Werth to work on energy-saving measures.
- The measures include gradually replacing fluorescent lights with the greener LED lights in campus buildings.
Electricity use by month
- These statistics, also provided by Werth, indicate that use of natural gas, which is used in heating, is highest in the winter.
- The Center of Sustainability, according to Reimer, is looking at implementing automatic schedules and times in buildings.
- Reimer's hope is that the schedules, which are being tested in the fall, will minimize the amount of energy used by the heating and air-conditioning systems.
- Ideally, the systems will adjust their levels depending on the building's use.

Agatha Christie's 'The Mousetrap' comes to the University stage

@SamBiscuit
The longest-running show of any genre in modern history will make its appearance on the University stage this Friday.
The murder mystery "The Mouse-trap," written by Agatha Christie, creates suspense with its tale of a gruesome murder and those unlucky enough to be caught in between.
The play's plot focuses on seven individuals who have become snowed in at a guesthouse in a post-World War II London. Tensions rise after a murder takes place within the house. The rest of the play is a back-and-forth among the characters, each trying to figure out who could have committed the heinous crime.
"The Mousetrap" is famous for its twist ending, which audience members have been asked to keep secret after leaving the show since Agatha Christie first opened the show.
"KU called me up this summer and asked if I wanted to direct 'Mousetrap,' said Doug Weaver, guest director, director of Equity Actors' Readers' Theatre in Kansas City and former University professor. "I love the play so much, and I love Lawrence and KU, so I had to take the job."
Weaver has done his best to keep the performance as accurate to the source material as possible. Actors were schooled on their various accents and vernacular in rehearsal, and the props are authentic.
"We managed to get a bit of recording for a radio broadcast that was actually used during the 1952 premiere of the show," Weaver said.
Weaver said he was "thankful and excited" to take on the role of director for the Kansas Repertory
Theatre, which partnered with the University Theatre to make this performance possible. Still, Weaver said he was wary about the challenges he might have to face — especially regarding the actors.
"I didn't cast the show; it was cast before I got involved, so I had no idea who I was going to be working with," Weaver said.
Before Weaver, the Kansas Repertory Theatre had already chosen a director for the play who made the decisions about the cast and crew. When the original choice of director didn't work out, Weaver was called in to take the director's chair, but he wasn't the only one worried about the future of the production.
"I had my eye on this other director whom I had worked with before," said Aiden Lindholm, a senior from McPherson majoring in theatre performance, who plays Christopher Wren. "So I wasn't too sure when we got Doug."
However, Weaver made a strong impression. Lindholm said he quickly came to respect the guest director and his methods.
"The second day of rehearsal, Doug brought each of us Agatha Christie books to read," Lindholm said. "I've done about six plays at KU so far but I think Doug has really become my favorite director to work with."
Weaver's passion for mystery and especially for Christie's work was the driving force behind bringing the cast and crew together, Lindholm said.
"I usually hate mysteries and I did not like the script when I read it," said Kevin Siess, a senior from Lawrence and a first-time stage manager and assistant director. "I needed a job and so I applied, but I thought it was just going to be one of those run
Lindholm said he felt much of the same under-excitement for the production early on in the rehearsal process.
"I had never heard of Agatha Christie," Lindholm said, "and I just thought this would all be one big cliche."
Forever the Christie fan, Weaver found a way to light the fires of motivation for his cast and crew with his own drive and his own experience with the play. Though Weaver had never directed "The Mousetrap" before, he had seen his wife, a professional actress, perform in the show in Kansas City.
of the mill 'whodunit' mysteries."
"「Weaver」really flung us into it,"
Lindholm said. "After I learned more about it, I began to really fall in love with it. 'Mousetrap' really was the first murder mystery play and it really set the precedent for what makes a good mystery. It's really a lot more than I had originally thought."
Weaver seemed to make converts of all the cynics in his cast and crew, even changing Siess' mind about the 'whodunit' murder mystery.
"After we got it on its feet, especially with our great cast, I've just fallen in love with the show," Siess said. "The characters are so unique and the back-and-forth among them is my favorite part, and figuring out where the characters belong within the mystery is really fun."
If anyone involved in the play wants to do it justice,it would be Weaver.
"Anyone who wants to do mystery wants to do 'Mousetrap,'" Weaver said. "It's the pinnacle of mystery, but it offers so much more than that. Even if you don't enjoy mysteries, you'll love this show. It's the characters; they really bring it to life."
"The Mousetrap" plays this Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 2:30 p.m.at the William Inge Memorial Theatre in Murphy Hall.The show will also play July 31 at 7:30 p.m. and Aug. 2 at 2:30 p.m.

Sounds of explosive music and wafts of made-to-order eats filled the Penn Valley Park grounds in Kansas City, Mo., this Saturday for the Chipotle Cultivate Festival.
Between musical sets, festival-goers wandered the grounds, scooped up free Annie's snacks, Treetop juice boxes or bought $6 chorizo tostadas and beer before bands such as Small-pools, Max Frost and Portugal the
"I cannot believe they have all of these amazing bands for free," said Alex English, a senior at the University of Kansas from Piper studying organismal biology. "I saw Smallpools in Lawrence at the Granada, but this is crazy, really cool. It's huge; I didn't realize it was going to be like this."
Man performed.
The music lineup included, in order of appearance, DJ Christopher Golub, Max Frost, Betty Who, Smallpools, St. Lucia and Portugal,
The Man. Even though the festival spanned across the park, crowds of all ages convened around the stage area or in tents equipped with fans, waiting for the next free act. Children danced with their parents while older couples swayed to the music. The rest — mostly 20-somethings — were up-close and center, right next to the stage.
Most of the food and alcoholic drinks were under $10, and kidfriendly snacks were handed out for free. Activities were peppered
throughout the festival, such as the high striker also known as the "strongman game" as well as a photobooth and a tent to paint a T-shirt. Audiences could watch a short film about California tofu producers in a "cinema" tent.
Despite the 90-degree weather, lines of people stretched across the park, fanning their faces and waiting for the chance to complete four of five Chipotle exhibits for a free burrito and pizza. The exhibits colorfully and interactively taught festival-goers about the farming industry and the difference between Genetically Modified Organism foods and natural organic. They also tested people's knowledge about GMOs in an active setting.
In one exhibit, individuals read things like "I'm most concerned about inconclusive data on GMO safety;" for example, and then dropped an orange ball to answer on one side. Those on the other side

would see which concern was mostfilled. In another exhibit, people followed a self-guided tour to compare fresh versus processed food. Examples were displayed on two shelves, one on top of the other, for easy comparison.
"It was kind of interesting to go to the few of the different exhibits, what [Chipotle's] using and what other people are using [in food supply]," said Aron Muci, a University graduate student. "I didn't know what to expect at first. It's a weird experience because we are all here, it's so hot, it feels like we are being herded through, but it's cool. It been a good atmosphere and the music was
great, too."
Another tent introduced several well-known chefs, such as Amanda Freitag, known for her work on the Food Network, and Graham Elliot from "Top Chef" season two, who were there to show demos. Almost all of the chairs were filled 30 minutes before the chefs began their show.
The self-proclaimed fast-casual chain has hosted this Cultivate festival of "music, food and ideas" for about five years. Over those several years, it's been to six other cities: Phoenix, Denver, San Francisco Dallas, Chicago, Minneapolis and for the first time this year, Kansas City, Mo.

Brothers transform laundromat into new bakery, coffee shop
KELLY CORDINGLEY
@KellyCordingley
At 21 and 23 years old, the Petrehn brothers could be average college students trudging up the hill to their 9 a.m. classes. Instead, they're up before the sun in their bakery and coffee shop.
Nearly a month and a half ago, the brothers turned a laundromat located at 1900 Barker Ave. into their ideal neighborhood bakery.
Taylor and Reagan Petrehn opened their bakery called 1900 Barker in early June, and have seen fairly steady traffic since.
"The neighborhood has been really supportive," Taylor said. "It's been fun to meet new people and see new people in their community environment instead of a downtown strip. We were really busy right away, and I feel like we're starting to hit stride now."
Taylor, 23, graduated from Johnson County Community College's culinary program in 2010. He's worked in the restaurant industry for years but said he began baking professionally three years ago, roughly the same time he moved to Lawrence with a group of friends.
"I loved [Lawrence], and decided to call it home," Taylor said. "It had been a dream for a long time. I walked by this place all the time, and I was like, 'What would it be like if there was a bakery in this neighborhood?'"
The brothers are from Paola, and said they've been foodies for years. Roughly four years ago, Taylor built a pizza oven at their family's home. He said they'd bring in a guest bartender for the evening and enjoy great pizza together.
"We've almost always done food together," Taylor said.
Working with his brother came naturally to Reagan, he said.
"It's great. We have 20-plus years
of experience communicating with each other, so it's really easy to communicate, and you don't get that with any other business partner," Reagan said. "I know my ideas will be understood immediately. I don't have to worry."
Last week 1900 Barker extended its hours to include Wednesday and Thursday. The cafe is currently open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday. The brothers serve coffee all day but cycle through different food options. Pastries come out of the oven at 7 a.m., and in the afternoon the Petrehns focus on their breads.
"Pastries usually sell out pretty quickly," Taylor said. "We see a lull around 11:30 a.m. until 1 p.m. or so, and as bread comes out of the oven people start showing back up and then they'll grab an espresso on their way home from work."
Of the wheat used in their breads, 25 percent comes from a local farm, and all the wheat they use is certified organic. The coffee they use will change every few months as they switch roasteries.
"Every quarter we plan to rotate two new coffee roasters," Taylor said. "We're really searching for the best in the industry."
Since the cafe has only been open about a month a half, Taylor said they still have room to grow. They're planning to offer more lunch options as well as host neighborhood block parties.
"Our hope is to really serve the community around us and provide great bread and coffee for people," Taylor said.
A SAMPLE OF 1900, BARKER
Banana Bread Pudding: I've never had a bread pudding like this one. It was perfectly soft and beautifully marbled on the inside with a slight crispiness on the outside, creating a perfect texture variation. It wasn't too sweet and it wasn't like a banana bread, per se, but it was fantastic.
Peach Cream Galette: If we were giving out pastry awards, this one would take the cake. The freshness of the peaches was only matched in deliciousness by the sugar-sprinkled crust enveloping the peach-filled goodness.
Blackberry/Plum Galette: This little pastry was slightly more tart than the peach cream one — no complaints, though. The dark plum-colored center is as beautifiu as it is tasty. The sugar complements the tartness well.
Daily focaccia: This is more of a lunch-type bread, as it's covered with tomatoes and olives and baked cheese. It's the best of all things savory and would make for a delicious appetizer.
Espresso: The espresso was beautifully poured. I almost didn't want to drink it at first because I didn't want to ruin the swirly, heart-shaped milk designs on the top. This may be the smoothest espresso I've ever had, and I've had my fair share.

Lee's sequel succeeds in telling dark story
DEREK SKILLETT
@Derek_Skillett
It's been 55 years since Harper Lee's landmark novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" was first published. On Tuesday, "Go Set a Watchman," the book's sequel, premiered to the public.
First things first: this is a good book. It is also unfair to compare "Watchman" to its predecessor, as "Mockingbird" has the advantage of more than five decades of being broken down and analyzed by expert critics and literature classes across the world.
Similar to "Mockingbird," this novel is told from the third-person perspective of the girl known as Scout, now a 26-year-old who goes by Jean Louise Finch. The plot of the novel centers around a visit to her hometown of Maycomb, Ala., from her new home in New York City. During the visit, Jean Louise grapples with some extremely dark truths that she comes to learn about her father, Atticus Finch, and her longtime boyfriend, Henry Clinton.
Atticus became a fictional icon in "Mockingbird" as the noble white lawyer who attempts to defend a black man falsely accused of rape in Maycomb in the 1930s. In the book, as well as in the 1962 movie, Atticus is portrayed as the perfect father and an idealistic believer in truth and justice.
"Watchman" is set in the 1950s, where Atticus is revealed to be a segregationist, a racist and strong believer in states' rights. He has attended a Ku Klux Klan meeting and says such as, "The Negroes down here are still in their childhood as a people." Atticus, now a 72-year-old man suffering from crippling arthritis, also voices strong opinions about the NAACP paid lawyers who have
a presence in Alabama, more than once referring to them as "vultures."
This shocking revelation forms the crux of the novel and sets the main action of the book in motion. However, this revelation takes place almost halfway through the novel. The majority of the first half of "Watchman" serves as a setup for the events of the book, reintroducing familiar characters and introducing the main plot elements.
The revelation about Atticus may be shocking and offputting to some, but it reflects the feelings and attitudes of many Southerners during this particular chapter of American history, when the Civil Rights movement was building to a climax.
Lee succeeds in stripping away the "flawless father" image of Atticus, portraying him as a flawed man who was not immune to the deeply-held racist beliefs of Southerners in the 1950s.
As Jean Louise is told by her Uncle Jack, who serves to explain the politics of the South during this time, "As you grew up, you confused your father with God. You never saw him as a man with a man's heart and a man's failings."
The book itself is fairly manageable to digest. At 278 pages, more adept readers can finish it within a couple days.
The writing is simple to understand, and Lee manages to push forward the message of her story without resorting to cliches or convenient plot twists.
There are times when the book recaptures some of the brilliance of "Mockingbird." However, Lee uses a bit too much exposition to set up the main action of the story.
Although there is a very long buildup to an enthralling climax, "Watchman" is worth reading.

CONTRIBUTED ILLUSTRATION BY JORDAN CHAMBERLAIN Jordan Chamberlain, a graduate student in the School of Architecture drew this in her sketchbook on June 20 in Florence, Italy.

Destinations of the study abroad group,
in order:
1. Rome
2. Siena
3. Florence
4. Venice
Five students abandoned the classroom to sharpen their skills at four different destinations in Italy this summer.
Barry Fitzgerald, professor of design at the University of Kansas, took three illustration majors and two architecture students to Rome, Siena, Florence and Venice for a six credit hour program.
The students spent three weeks practicing drawing subjects that were moving around and walking down the street, among other things, Fitzgerald said. They discussed mental tools that could help them ground the people they saw within a space and to create a sense of space the people they drew could occupy.
"A lot of these things don't get done in a drawing class that is limited to being in a classroom," Fitzgerald said:
Fitzgerald said there is a different challenge to drawing people who are moving and may not know someone is drawing them.
"Learning how to draw while the world is just moving around and not stopping and posing for you takes a different set of tools in order to handle it, know how to approach it and do it successfully," he said.
He said he applies content he taught in a special topics class on campus several years ago in order to create his study abroad curriculum.
"It's a drawing class, but we don't have a classroom. The world is our classroom;" Fitzgerald said.
Jordan Chamberlain, a graduate student from Chicago in the fiveyear Master of Architecture program, said some of the experience she gained was unlike anything she's studied before.
"[Fitzgerald] was able to get me out of my comfort zone, because I know how to draw buildings really well, but I don't know how to draw people and artwork," she said.
Chamberlain said her favorite city was Venice, which she described as "exactly what everyone pictures in their minds." Although the group only spent a few days at
each stop, she said they got a good taste of each diverse destination.
"Even though we were there for a short amount of time compared to a lot of the study abroad programs,we were still able to see a lot and get a feel for each of the cultures in the individual cities," she said.
Chamberlain said the artistic skills she honed in Italy are essential to her planned career.
"As an architect, you are drawing almost every day," she said. "Part of the creative process is that we're taught to draw, and that's how we get our creativity out on paper, as
opposed to putting it into a computer first. [...] The skill of knowing how to put something from your mind onto a piece of paper is really crucial for an architect."
Fitzgerald and Chamberlain both emphasized that the program is not strictly for illustration students.
"I would say it's open to anybody in the sense that I don't have any strong prerequisites, but I do think it's best suited for students who have basic drawing skills,"
Fitzgerald said.
However, he said he has had students participate from various other programs: industrial design, interior design, graphic design and more. He said he believes studying abroad is a valuable experience.
"I think that's very important for students to start to understand how the rest of the world works, and that it's not necessarily the same as what we know here," Fitzgerald said.

ARTS & CULTURE
Artist Valerie Campos makes her debut in Lawrence
HARRISON HIPP @HarrisonHipp
Quiet conversation began at the Lawrence Arts Center as wine was served outside a gallery housing a collection of massive, darkedged paintings with vibrant colors splashed throughout.
The paintings are by Valerie Campos, a self-taught artist who began painting at age 22. Campos has exhibited her work internationally in Mexico, Indonesia, France, Spain and Canada. Her paintings hung inside the dimly-light gallery of the Lawrence Arts Center and, for the first time after 10 months of work, were presented as a complete exhibition on Friday.
The exhibition, titled "Natural Selection: The Pursuit of Happiness," is composed of work Campos created during her residency in Lawrence, inspired by Darwin's theory of evolution.
"Those who pursue answers are known as scientists, and those who pursue questions are known as artists," Campos said in Friday evening's gallery talk downtown. "I chose the title 'Natural Selection' for this series as a way to re-interpret Darwin's theory as a unifying concept of life."
Before coming to Lawrence, she directed a year-long residency project in China titled "Nao Now" that worked to bring together artists in China with artists in Mexico, Campos' home country.
Originally from Mexico City, Campos grew up in Los Angeles. She spent much of her adult life traveling and pursuing a career in art, a history she shared with the small crowd
at the gallery talk.
"It's been a very hard process for me to be here," Campos said. "I really appreciate it."
Campos and her son encountered a hiccup in their travel plans when returning to Mexico following her residency two years ago at The Red Gate Gallery in Beijing. She learned her son, Sebastian, didn't have the correct visa and he was unable to attend school in the United States. She and Sebastian will finally reunite after her Lawrence Arts Center residency concludes. He is currently living with his father in Mexico.
"I dedicate this show to my son Sebastian, who is not here," Campos said. "This has been a very interesting journey."
After the gallery talk ended, Campos shared a short film, "Underground Tales of the Eternal Return."

Chalmers' camp aims to give back to community
15
DEREK SKILLETT
@Derek_Skillett
Former Kansas basketball great and current Miami Heat point guard Mario Chalmers returned to Lawrence for his sixth annual Mario Chalmers Miracle Basketball Camp, held in the Sports Pavilion at Rock Chalk Park.
KANSAS 15
"It feels great [to be back in Lawrence]," Chalmers said. "I come back every year, so it's always good to come back to where it all started for me."
Chalmers' camp welcomed about 40 kids from around Kansas who wanted to learn the game of basketball.
"Basically we come in and try to do a skill-based set," said Ronnie Chalmers, the organizer of the camp and Mario's father. "We try to take the kids and do some drills and teach them the right fundamentals of basketball. Nothing that their normal coaches don't do, but we just try to enhance what they already know and try to make corrections on their mistakes."
Alex Watts, an 11-year-old from Lawrence, was one of the participants in the camp.
"It's been fun and amazing. I never thought I would have the chance to learn from [Mario]," Watts said. "They've been teaching me dribbling and shooting."
Watts said he was notified about the camp through an email from his basketball coach at the Kansas United Youth Basketball Club.
DJ Sackmann is one of the coaches who helped Chalmers teach the children about basketball through the I'm Possible Basketball Training organization.
"We just try to help the kids grow through the game of basketball," Sackmann said. "We have a progressive approach, so we really start by challenging the kids' skills, make sure that they're mistake-driven when they're training.
"We try to keep it small so the kids have more development as far as the coaches are concerned. Each kid is getting individualized attention, which is really good for them," Sackmann added.
Ronnie said all of the money raised from the camp would be donated to charities, like the Mario Chalmers Foundation, the Boys and Girls Clubs in Kansas and Mario's Closet, which offers affordable solutions to target the physical effects of cancer treatment. They will also donate to the Lawrence Memorial Hospital to support cancer patients and survivors.
Ronnie did note that attendance numbers for the camp were down a little this year.
"We've been operating in a deficit, believe it or not. Numbers have been down," Ronnie said. "We really don't make a profit from it; this is something that we like to do, so we just do it. We like to give back to the community."
"From what I've seen they look pretty good," Mario said. "I think they finally have some upperclassmen in Frank [Mason] and Wayne [Selden, Jr.] and Perry [Ellis] that can lead the team. I think they'll be pretty good."
The camp, which began Saturday will continue until Wednesday.
Mario was not shy about sharing some thoughts on the 2015-16 Kansas basketball team.

Kansas volleyball gains experience with Collegiate National Team
DEREK JOHNSON
@DJohnson1510
Three Kansas women's volleyball players honed their skills for the upcoming season while participating in the U.S. Collegiate National Team Program.
The program took place in New Orleans at the end of June and lasted for nine days. On the final day, senior Tiana Dockery and sophomore Kelsie Payne led their team to a championship game victory.
Dockery led her team in kills, totaling 38 kills in three matches. After receiving 2014 All-Big 12 Honorable Mention honors, the 5-foot-10 outside hitter from Richmond, Texas, was looking to use the CNT
program as a springboard for next season.
"She was taking some good heavy swings, setting a little bit out of the back row which is good to see. She was a good six-rotation player, which is what we expect," coach Ray Bechard said. "We hope that correlates to a big senior year for her."
The program involved 35 different athletes who were split into three teams: the CNT Blue, Red and White teams. The third Jayhawk in the program was sophomore Anise Havili, a setter who received an American Volleyball Coaches Association All-America Honorable Mention as a freshman in 2014. Havili competed for the CNT White team.
"Knowing that I can play with some of the best, and not only hang but actually beat them, makes me very excited for this upcoming season," Havili said.
The program was structured in a round-robin format. The CNT Blue Team won both of its games in pool play to advance to the championship game. They defeated the CNT Red Team in four sets. Dockery led the team with 12 kills and was supplanted by Payne's 10 kills.
Dockery said she was excited for what winning the championship against high-level competition could do for her team.

matically increases our level of play," Dockery said. "We are more than ready for the season to kick in."
The biggest takeaway, however, is not a championship for Dockery and Payne. All three Jayhawks gained experience against some of the best players in the country.
"They got pushed each and every day, each and every practice because everyone around them was playing at a high level," Bechard said. "It's nothing but positives for all three of them."
Sophomore Kelsie Payne may have obtained the most value from the nine days of training and competition.
As a freshman in 2014, Payne was hampered by a foot injury in addition to being new to collegiate athletics. By season's end, Payne flashed her potential with a career-high 15
kills and eight blocks — both of which led the team — in an NCAA Tournament match against the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.
This offseason, including playing in the CNT program, is important for Payne's development, Bechard said.
"Kelsie is pretty new to the sport and new to the position she was playing," Bechard said. "It was great to see her continue to grow."
As the fall semester approaches, the Kansas volleyball team gets ready to begin play once again. The team has seen three straight seasons appearing in the NCAA Tournament, but following a first round exit last season, the Jayhawks are looking to push for an even better year.
“If the three of us play like we did in New Orleans and also motivate our team, there's nothing we can't do this year,” Havili said. “Our potential this season is so high and I can't wait to see how far this team goes.”

Kickball players compete in local league
CHANDLER BOESE
@Chandler_Boese
Every Sunday evening in the summer, dozens of adults come together at various Lawrence parks to play a game typically reserved for elementary playgrounds.
The Kaw Valley Kickball League is a competitive group of 32 adult teams that compete from the end of May to August for a trophy. It's one of a few kickball leagues in the city — and one of the most competitive.
The league began more than 10 years ago, said Alex Hawman, who plays for the Hertz Doughnut D-Holes. Some of the teams have been around since the very beginning.
"It's pretty much just a giant family," Hawman said. "The people on my team, I've played with them for about five years now, two years in this league and three in the city league."
Hawman said the level of competition varies from team to team: some teams are just happy to be in the league, and others are in it to win.
Josh Davis has been competing for a few years on his team, the Ladybird Harpies.
"I play on a team that is not one of the better teams, and we don't take it
too seriously," Davis said. "We enjoy it, and we want to do well, but we don't lose sleep if we don't."
Elise Monaco, a two-year veteran of her team, the Rockets, said she loves when someone makes a good play and everyone celebrates.
"I love seeing somebody, especially if it's unexpected, take out someone that's been around for a long time," she said. "It's really nice to see the newcomers and the people that you don't expect to take it to the next level."
Monaco said her favorite part of the games is the trash talk. She said the rivalry is built up by the blog, Sundays in the Park, which picks the most competitive games of the week and discusses them.
"This group of people, so many of them have been here for years and years, so they really know how to push each other's buttons, so it can be really competitive," Monaco said.
This past Sunday was the last round of pool play before the teams go into playoff for their final few weeks.
"There are only a few weeks left for some teams," Monaco said. "The end is a sad moment and you have to work your ass off to get to that point."

Gold medal-winning Jayhawks return to great welcome
DYLAN SHERWOOD
@dmantheman2011
KU
GOLD
KU
After a three-week journey to Gwangju, South Korea, the Kansas men's basketball team returned home Wednesday with gold medals in hand from the World University Games.
This is the USA's first gold medal in men's basketball at the World University Games since 2005.
"It feels good to be back; it was a week too long, though," coach Bill Self said. "The fact with playing and winning [is that] the guys really enjoyed it."
Senior forward Perry Ellis addresses the crowd at Hoglund Ballpark as teammates Sviatoslav Mykhailliuk, Wayne Selden Jr., Jamari Traylor and Devonte' Graham stand by Wednesday, July 15.
Self said the World University Games was an incredible experience for his team. He mentioned how his team played well with SMU guard Nic Moore and Florida Gulf Coast guard Julian DeBose on the team, even while missing sophomore guards Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk, Devonte' Graham, junior guard Brannen Greene and freshman forward Cheick Diallo.
Diallo arrived in Lawrence while the team was in Korea and was introduced in front of the crowd during the homecoming celebration.
Self said it was different playing international teams but overall everyone on the U.S. team had fun playing the game. He hopes this is a momentum changer going into next season.
"Ihope it's a springboard [into next season]," Self said. "I don't think anyone saw us winning the gold medal." Junior guard Wayne Selden, who
started as a good contributor during his first two years at Kansas, had breakout moments in the World University Games as the top scorer among all teams, averaging 19.3 points per game in eight games. Selden said he thinks of this as a confidence booster going into next season.
MACKENZIE CLARK/KANSAI
"It helps us all," Selden said. "We all competed as a team [...] seeing guys step up all different types of ways over there [in South Korea], it helped everybody out."
When senior forward Perry Ellis decided to return to Kansas for another year, he said he knew there was more to be done for the Kansas program. Ellis said this was the first gold medal he has worn since his high school days at Wichita Heights High School in Wichita, where he competed in track and field in addition to basketball.
Ellis said he's exhausted after all the games but glad to be home. He hopes this experience can bring some momentum going into next season.
"It's an honor just to do this," he said. "It's my last year, and I want to make it the best and that was a great opportunity to do this."
Winning a gold medal gives the Jayhawks momentum and experience before the beginning of the season on Oct. 9 at Late Night in the Phog. If Kansas fans liked what the Jayhawks did in South Korea, they may be just that much more excited for next season because of it.

The University campus has been dominated by the sounds of construction this summer, but thankfully for future Jayhawks, one important construction project will be completed by the time they move in.
VALERIE HAAG/KANSAN
The construction of the Oswald and Self residence halls on Daisy Hill, which began last fall, is slated to be complete and ready for the next batch of Jayhawks by the beginning of August.
"The student room furniture is being delivered, the bed frames are being installed, and we've got trucks coming 11 days in a row to deliver furniture for those two big buildings," Diana Robertson, director of Student Housing, said.
Robertson said both Oswald and Self Halls will include four-person suites and two-person suites, as well
as a new two-person private room, which will consist of two private bedrooms and a shared living room area.
"I was pleased that all of our other halls continued to fill at a nice pace as well," Robertson said. "It's not like [the new residence halls] were the only place people wanted to live. It's a good sign that we have a nice

Former KU GTA charged with rape wants to withdraw plea
VICKY DÍAZ-CAMACHO
@vickyd_c
Former University of Kansas graduate teaching assistant Orion Mark Graf attended a motion hearing on July 22 to withdraw his no-contest plea to charges of rape.
This May, Graf, 39, pleaded no contest on counts of rape and aggravated sodomy against an 18-year-old when his former attorney, Branden Smith, represented him. Represented by his new attorney, Michael Clarke, Graf said he'd like a mental evaluation to ascertain whether he was competent at the time of the original plea.
"These were alleged crimes against my ex-girlfriend," Graf, a former GTA with the ecology and evolutionary biology department, wrote for the defendant portion of the investigation report.
Background
The rape charges are in addition to last year's conviction against Graf for hiding video cameras in the Gap at 643 Massachusetts St. between 2012 and 2013, in violation of K.S.A. 21- 6106(a)(6), also known as breach of privacy.
Investigators found a small camera and several thousand video clips on his computers. The content of these devices total around 85 GB of data or "thousand and thousands"of files — "that's a lot," the report stated.
According to official complaints filed with Senior Assistant District Attorney Amy McGowan, Graf was convicted of 10 counts for conceal
ing video cameras in the store. He also pleaded no contest to these charges.
In April 2014, Lawrence Detective Mike Schneider recovered photos on Graf's phone and computer of an unknown female" that he "believed to be evidence of a possible sex crime," according to case files.
This was during last year's investigation of the breach of privacy case, showing the unconscious or sleeping victim while Graf committed "sexual acts," according to court documents. The evidence was handed over to Lawrence Police Officer Josh Leitner.
Leitner identified the unconscious

McCarthy Hall, located on Naismith Drive near Oliver Hall and Hoglund Ballpark, will not be completed until Oct. 2.
"I think it's going to be a prototype for the kind of service environment that we can provide in future projects," Robertson said.
Paul Graves, the deputy director of Design and Construction management, said the contractors who are working on constructing McCarthy have had to spend a lot of extra time clearing mud off of the streets and laying down gravel due to a very rainy summer.
A news release from the University reported project issues created by weather delays as the primary culprit for this delay.
"Any time [the contractors'] vehicles were tracking mud out onto Naismith Drive, they had to spend extra time trying to clean that up," Graves said.
While McCarthy is still being constructed, students who were originally scheduled to live there will be relocated to one floor in Naismith Hall, Robertson said.
When it is finished, McCarthy will contain such amenities as living rooms, meeting rooms, multipurpose rooms and recreation rooms as well as a half-court basketball court.
The total cost of the Daisy Hill construction is approximately $48 million, which includes the cost of the residence halls and the demolition of McCollum Hall, which will be imploded in November.

University to host public forum on construction
The University of Kansas will host a public forum on Wednesday to allow Lawrence residents a more detailed look at the renovations and redevelopments of the University's Central District.
The forum, hosted by the Office of Design and Construction Management, will take place from 5-7 p.m. at the Schwegler Elementary School gym, 2201 Ousdahl Road.
The Central District, also known as the Irving Hill area, is bounded by West 15th Street, West 19th Street, Naismith Drive and Iowa Street.
The presentation will be a series of small conversations between attendees and University officials rather than one large presentation, according to KU News. Officials will also provide visuals related to the Central District Development as well as the overall Campus Master Plan.
The forum is part of the land-use agreement with the city of Lawrence. An additional forum will be held from 4-6 p.m. Aug. 24 in the Burge Union.

woman as the 18-year-old victim who was in a relationship with Graf prior to the allegations. She said she was unaware these photos existed.
Schneider and Leitner were unable to comment on the pending court case.
In July 2014, the court held a preliminary hearing for all felony counts of attempted rape, where the victim testified. She told the court she began dating Graf in March 2013 and said they had an on-and-off relationship that ended in November 2013.
Early into the relationship, the
victim said Graf became physically violent. She testified that in one instance, Graf "hit her, dragged her into his room, bound her ankles with tape and threatened to kill her," according to court transcripts.
She took a photo as proof of a black eye "caused by the defendant striking her," court documents state. The photo was retrieved from Graf's phone during the investigation.
Since Graf was arrested during his 16-month probation for 10 counts of breach of privacy,he'll carry out the remainder of his sentence in prison.
Pending Trial
Graf said he felt "pressured" to accept a plea instead of going to trial, according to June 22 court documents. He dismissed his court-appointed attorney, Smith, because, Graf wrote, he was "ineffective" and shared "false information" about parole.
Graf's original trial was set for May, but he took the plea agreement to reduce the charges one week before the planned trial. The charges came in June 2014 when he was arrested on suspicion of two counts of rape while the victim was incapable of giving consent — one count of aggravated assault and one count of felony criminal threat. The victim was 18 years old at the time of the alleged crime and reportedly unconscious, according to records.
He was charged with eight counts: counts 1-3, rape; count 4, aggravated criminal sodomy; count 5, sexual battery; count 6, aggravated assault; count 7, criminal threat; and count 8, battery.
"If he is allowed to withdraw his plea, they are going to set it for a trial or something else down the line. But it'll be some time until [then]," said Jacy Wolfe, criminal/traffic supervisor with the Douglas County district
court. "They haven't resolved anything yet."
The outcome of the motion hearing has not been decided and the trial date was not set.
Graf will return for a court hearing on Sept. 17. He is currently under custody of the Douglas County Sheriff and has been since June 2014 with a $300,000 bond. If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prison.

KU to host conference for scientists studying reptiles and amphibians
CHANDLER BOESE @Chandler_Boese
The Society for the Study of Amphibians and Reptiles will rehash old traditions at its annual meeting next week — but it will be the smallest one in about 15 years.
For the past several years, the society has held its annual meeting in conjunction with three other societies. Because it was held at a larger convention center, the cost of attending was more expensive than some students could afford, said Rafe Brown, a University curator and co-chair of this year's hosting committee.
"SSAR is trying something new which is also historical, by holding a smaller meeting and going back to a college campus with a smaller crowd," Brown said. "The idea is to have an intimate and less expensive meeting for students to try to be able to have the experience of one of these meetings."
This year, the conference is being held on the University's campus and only includes around 400 scientists, Brown said. Hopefully, the smaller conference and more affordable lodging — attendees can stay in a hotel or dorm — enable more students to attend.
"By doing this, it enables the society to do a lot of things it hasn't done in a long time, since when I was a young undergraduate," Brown said. "For example, doing things like holding it in conjunction with a live animal exhibit that's being held off campus."
Brown said the plan is to host a smaller meeting like this about every five years if this year's conference goes well. The Kansas Herpetological Society will host that exhibit at the Oread Hotel during the conference, which will be open to the public.
The conference coincides with the 100th anniversary of the first herpetological paper published by University student Edward Taylor in 1915, considered the start of herpetological studies at the University.
Since then, the department been noticed for its research around the country, said Jesse Grismer, a Ph.D. student in the herpetology department from Oceanside, Calif.
He said he learned about the University's reputation for herpetology from his father, who is also a herpetologist.
"It's been called the 'Harvard of herpetology schools,'" Grismer said.
The department is part of the KU Biodiversity Institute and Natural History Museum, which encompasses the graduate and research
programs. These programs spend much of their time working with the herpetology collection.
The collection includes more than 340,000 specimens collected over the past century, making it the fifth largest collection in the world, Grismer said. It's also the largest neotropical collection in the world, meaning that it has the most specimens from the tropical regions of the Americas — southern Mexico, southern Florida, Central America, South America and the Caribbean.
“[The collection] is a global record of biodiversity going back a hundred years,” said Rich Glor, a herpetology professor and curator. “That’s the history of our planet during human civilization. Maintaining some kind of record of biodiversity on this planet — it's such an obvious thing that nobody thinks about.”
Glor said the collection has been built up by decades of researchers. Bill and Linda Duellman, who are now curators emeritus, have added thousands of specimens to the collection and grown the program to what it is now.

Philosophy professor's article featured in prominent journal
MICHAEL TREVETT
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
Armin Schulz, assistant professor of KU philosophy, recently had his article published in the "Journal of Economic Methodology."
KELLY CORDINGLEY
@KellyCordingley
Drawing on one science to help make progress in another is something Assistant Professor of KU Philosophy Armin Schulz focuses on for his research. He also did this with his recent article, "Firms, agency and evolution." This article was recently published in the "Journal of Economic Methodology."
Schulz's work looks at what prompts a firm or business to work as an agent, or an influential factor. Schulz initially thought firms would strive to be agents to avoid bankruptcy, but through his research he found something more pressing.
"It turns out what really matters for firm agency is if there's pressure to expand in the market. They're more
likely to act as an agent when they can have firm offspring," Schulz said. "That's what really drives firms to be agents of their own."
Schulz said he takes aspects from evolutionary biology and applies them to the social sciences.
"I'm interested in what happens when you take ideas and insights from one science and apply it to another," he said. "I'm interested in how this works and the challenges. I'm interested in trying to do some of the work and seeing what happens."
Trevor Swanson, a second-year doctoral student in the Social Psychology program, audited Schulz's Evolution of Cognition course. He said even though he wasn't enrolled in the course, he never missed a class.
"He's very,very intelligent,and very easy to talk to. He's very open to getting people's perspectives and he's really easy to engage with; he made the class exciting," Swanson said. "I looked forward to attending every week."
He said looking at how businesses grow, develop and change through an evolutionary biology perspective offers a new view.
"I think it's important to look at all kinds of aspects of human culture from all points of view," he said.
Schulz said there are two main aspects he would want someone to take away from his paper, regardless of their major or discipline.
"The hope is that someone takes away the excitement and the value of thinking outside the box and not saying, 'This is how they do it in my
field, so I'll stick to the rules of my field," he said. "The second thing, more about the paper is that it's possible that there's circumstances where you really want to see firms as having a life of their own.
"You've got to appreciate that sometimes when you join a company, that can have an effect on you. You're a part of a bigger thing that makes its own decisions."
The passion Schulz has for his work is something Swanson said was ever present in class, and that kept the students engaged.
"I was rewarded by taking the class," Swanson said. "He never showed that disinterest that I've seen some professors have when they just want to get back to their research and that the class they're teaching is a burden."

Find happiness alone before seeking a relationship.
1982
Tyler Schuckman
@TSchuckman_BK
Love can be described as merely a biological response to physical attraction, mixed with interest in another individual's personality. It can be the greatest feeling ever, but it's often coupled with the looming threat of potential heartbreak. Romantic relationships require vulnerability, which terrifies many people.
But to truly take the emotional leap to open ourselves up and become vulnerable to another human being, we must first be happy on our own. If you are happy alone, you are going into relationships looking to add to your life — not
If you are incapable of being happy by yourself, it is selfish to make an attempt at a romantic relationship. A relationship should not be your security blanket. It should not be the ultimate deciding factor in whether or not you are happy; it should merely add to your happiness.
Being single often gets a bad rap. Many people presume being single equates to being alone and not by choice, either. An individual who happens to be single isn't automatically a sad person.
Being single at some points throughout life is important for self growth. When stress and the rollercoaster of life becomes insurmountable, you have to ultimately examine yourself and improve — something that is not often done when in a relationship with someone you can emotionally lean on.
I am not a cynic, nor am I denouncing the idea of the emotional connection of love.I simply consider myself a realist. A relationship is not about having your movie
moment or the perfect person.
attempting to fill a void.
At one time I was on board with the idealism of finding true love or a soulmate — the idea of an instant spark that turned everything upside down; a "riding off into the sunset" scenario. With a few girls and moments in my life, I've tried to convince myself that she might be "the one"; and although truth may sometimes be stranger than fiction, it rarely follows the same narrative.
Whether it is having to endure the pain of unrequited love, putting trust into someone only to be cheated on, or the reality that you were just not compatible, relationships can be unpredictable and hurtful, especially when forced out of fear of being alone.
Being alone is healthy. It forces individuals to reflect on themselves and look within for their own happiness. Oftentimes, people would rather not face the silence of themselves — those quiet moments alone when you can't fill time with people and the sobering light it can shine on one's insecurities and neuroses about themselves.
But that is what most people need; to be in those moments of sadness or heartbreak.
It can be scary, but being alone enlightens you to truths about yourself, what you don't like about yourself or why you rarely allow yourself be alone.
Our pursuit for our "other half" ends in disappointment a majority of the time, simply because many people aren't truly comfortable with their first halves. If heartbreak does find you, take the breakup and pain as motivation to examine yourself and grow from the pain you feel. Learn to enjoy your own company, that way another person adds to your happiness instead of merely filling time with another individual.
f
Learn to not depend on others for your happiness, but depend on yourself. If the concept of love is truly a reality, it should not be a crutch for your own weaknesses but a platform to make another's life more vibrant and colorful.

‘Sherlock's Last Case' final performances run this weekend
VALERIE HAAG/KANSAN
Sherlock Homes and Liza, played by Robert Gibby Brand and Katherine Fried, discuss the case of death threats from Simeon, the supposed son of late Professor Moriarty, in a scene from "Sherlock's Last Case." The play's final performances run July 30 and Aug.1 at 7:30 p.m.
SAMANTHA SEXTON @SamBiscuit
It's elementary, my dear: "Sherlock's Last Case" plays its final two performances this weekend.
"Sherlock's Last Case," which opened two weeks ago, is what playwright Charles Marowitz calls a "parody play."
"It's almost making fun of the whole Holmes universe while at the same time paying homage to it," said Scott Glasser, guest director. "My favorite part about it is how witty and craftily it's been written."
Glasser is a nationally renowned director and actor originally from Brooklyn, New York, although he spends much of his time in Omaha, Neb., where he's frequently been invited to either direct plays or teach. Glasser joined the graduate faculty at the University of Nebraska in 2004 where he later became chair in 2008.
However, The Kansas City Reper
tory Theatre, the company responsible for producing this summer's play in conjunction with the University Theatre, invited Glasser to direct not for his teaching history but for his colorful career as both an actor and a director.
"I put on my biographies that I've directed 160 plays," Glasser said. "But I've really directed over 180 now. It helps when you've lived such a long life."
Glasser said "Sherlock's Last Case" is one of his favorites, having directed the show a few times before.
"I don't normally direct plays more than once," Glasser said. "If there is a play that I do more than once, it's because it either did really well or I really liked it. Plus, we're having a great time here."
The play, published in 1998, focuses on Sherlock Holmes as he is contacted and threatened by a new nemesis. This time, instead of Dr. Moriarty antagonizing Holmes, Moriarty's son plays the villain in an attempt to seek revenge after the late professor's death.
+
The tale, Glasser said, is full of twists and turns and written to amuse as well as enthrall. The language of the play attracted Glasser to direct it again, as the production is full of innuendo, double entendre and snarky comebacks.
While attempting to put together an enjoyable performance for the attendees, the cast and crew had some fun themselves.
"It's very clever," Glasser said. "It never fails to give me a good laugh."
"I really, really enjoy this play," said Kelly Vogel, visiting professor as well as costume designer and lighting director. "Everyone brings something to it and I love that it's a small cast, which means that I can really get to know each character and design the perfect outfit for him or her."
Vogel said she jumped in the second she could, wanting to be a part of the University Theatre this summer as a visiting professor. She
played two roles as costume designer and lighting director with this production but said there's some advantage to having the extra work.
"When I can dictate how the lights will show up on stage, I have the benefit of knowing how to design the costumes to best suit the stage," Vogel said. "I know exactly what color lighting or what color thread to use to make each character really come alive."
The costumes were designed to fit the correct era of the Holmesian universe, set in the late 1800s, with brightly colored gowns and silk pocket squares. However, the costumes weren't the only piece to the puzzle that were accurate to Arthur Conan Doyle's fictional world.
"The Sherlock Holmes works have such a huge following; there are so many people really dedicated to it," Glasser said, "so I wanted to make my play as correct as possible. That's why the crew and I went to London and visited the Holmes' house."
The set was established as an open stage, letting the audience enter from the back so that they can get a glimpse at the backstage action. Each piece of furniture and decoration had been designed with the Holmes' house in mind in order to be as accurate as possible to the source material.
The house in question is an accurate display of everything Sherlock Holmes. Located at 221B Baker Street, where Holmes and Watson lived in the book series, the Victorian era house is faithfully preserved to look exactly how it was described in Doyle's works.
"Even the bathroom is meticulously designed," Glasser said.
The final performances will take place July 30 and Aug. 1 at 7:30 p.m. at Stage Too! in the Crafton-Preyer Theater inside Murphy Hall. Ticket prices range from $10 to $15.

Fringe Festival sees largest turnout ever

The 10-day extravaganza that is the Fringe Festival just wrapped up its last shows Sunday with a larger turnout than ever before.
This year's festival brought more than 485 productions to 20 different venues ranging from ballet combined with jazz to a puppet remake of the Star Wars saga.
"We have dance, theatre, arts, performing arts, puppetry, spoken word, film — you name it," said Rick Duplessie, this year's market chair for the Fringe.
As it entered its 11th year, the
Fringe was the biggest it's ever been, which has made a lot of work for Cheryl Kimmi, the CEO of the festival. However, she said she couldn't be more excited to see what will happen next.
"I'm thrilled that the second decade of Fringe is upon us and that I can be a part of it," Kimmi said.
Duplessie, as well as volunteering for the Kansas City Repertory The

never know what's going to happen, but it's always something good."
Despite the reappearance of the "Bad Auditions" group from Whim Productions, the Fringe Festival had anything but reruns. Last year, the show was home to 400 performances; this year there were 85 more shows with 15 new producers. Shows from the Fringe Festival can go on to perform in the Fringe Around the World tour where their performances are produced for the world to see, including at the prestigious Edinburgh Festival.
---
The Oscar award-winning film "The King's Speech" originated at this festival, which may explain why the festival is growing and why artists vie for a spot to perform.
There's no limit to how provocative, intense or emotional a performance can be, which can be seen in two successful shows: "The Penis Monologues," a performance devised of several documented conversations between men and women about sexuality, and "Never Ever After," in which Huckleberry Finn and Peter Pan find themselves falling in love.
"There's never a lack of theatrical performances," Duplessie said. "But we've seen a growth in opera and jazz as well over the past couple of years. There have been some wonderful performances including a completely unscripted musical called 'Presto! An Improvised Musical.'"
In order to become part of the Fringe, all an artist need do is pay the $300 entrance fee and produce a piece that lasts a little under an hour. Every artist involved with the festival gets a cut at the door, making signing up a great opportunity for new names.
"Fringe is often described as unjuried, uncensored and unpredictable," Kimmi said.
"The proceeds are split three ways: part of it goes to the Fringe to keep it going, part of it goes to the venues to pay their bills, but the bulk of it goes to the artist," Duplessie said. "So the artist not only has the chance to
get their show out there and recoup the money but to really make some money as a producer."
"The wonderful thing about the festival is that it's always evolving," Duplessie said. "This is a completely volunteer-run organization so every year there's a change within, which makes for a slightly different show. Plus, with the growth, there's no telling who we're going to get to perform, and there such a variety here. It's really gratifying work to be here."
In order to join the festivities, art lovers first purchased a Fringe Festival button, which let ushers know they could see any of the shows. The button could be purchased at any one of the venues and acts as an advertisement and overhead for the festival at $5. From there, each performance was an additional $10. That means someone could see three plays for $35 whereas one professional play could cost double that.
The Fringe Festival has its advantages for those who dream of making it big in the world with his or her own freshly written ideas, but how does it offer something of value to the audience? Duplessie said for those with any sort of appreciation for the arts, the festival's value is "immeasurable."
Saturday, the shows were voted on to see which among them can be called "the best of." These few performances will be featured in the Fringe Around the World in August, where Kansas talents will be put on display for the world to see.
"It's only $10 a show so it's more acceptable to take a risk on the shows that haven't proven themselves yet," Duplessie said. "You can be more adventurous with shows than you normally would be."

Owner draws on memories to start restaurant, Leeway Franks

VICKY DlAZ-CAMACHO/KANSAN
Leeway Franks' breakfast sandwich is made of a pork sausage patty topped with a fried egg, American cheese and spicy mayonnaise on Texas Toast. A side of fries or tots costs $1.
The small handcrafted sausage and hotdog restaurant, Leeway Franks, at 935 Iowa St., is more than another storefront in a strip mall to owner Lee Meisel. It's built on a foundation of memories combined with a desire to bring food back to a more natural state.
"My wife and I have a cabin up in Michigan; our annual trips are very, very special to me," Meisel said. "You get up there and there's funny little snack stands all around. That's kind of the inspiration, and this is really all wrapped up in memories."
Meisel said since he opened the doors to Leeway Franks on July 17, people have flooded in.
"It's been a little overwhelming. We've been really busy; we're pretty much running out of product," he said. "This has exceeded my expectations by quite a bit. I expected it'd be pretty steady, maybe serve 60 to 70 people at the beginning then ramp up to 100 to 120 — we're already there."
The 2008 Haskell University graduate said he's always loved working with food. He worked as a butcher at 715 Restaurant on Massachusetts Street for three years and at The Merc.
"After being in fine dining for years and it being all intricate, I wanted to strip everything down and make it really approachable," Meisel said.
With so much traffic in only the first week, Meisel said he attributes the success to social media and word of mouth.
"Social media is really the main way [we got the word out] and just being connected in the food scene in
town," Meisel said. "This little neighborhood is really cool, lots of people coming and going; they tell their friends about it and our neighbors and the barber shop down the road."
Martin Watson of Watson's Barber Shop, located just a few store fronts down from Leeway Franks, said Lee delivered menus and food samples to attract more customers.
It worked.
"Everyone had some, and we really liked it, and we've been here every day since," Watson said. "It's only been open about a week now, but we're spreading the word."
Watson attributes part of the large crowd to the high quality of food

A SAMPLE OF LEEWAY FRANKS
Chili dog, $7: This beef frankfurter was delicious but the natural casing did catch me off guard. It does have more of a bite to it, but it is a good bite if you don't mind the casing. I'm not a fan of mustard on my hotdog, but it was minimal and bearable. The chili and the onions weren't overpowering, but the bun got soggy beneath the chili and was a bit difficult to eat. The fries were a perfect combination of crunchiness and softness and not too greasy whatsoever.
Breakfast sandwich, $5: The fried egg, cheese and pork sausage between some Texas Toast was like your average breakfast sandwich, but better. The sausage was unlike anything you can get from your run-of-the-mill breakfast joint. The only issue is that Leeway Franks doesn't open until 11 a.m., so it makes for a late breakfast, brunch or a fun briner (breakfast plus dinner). The tots were just as perfect as the fries — crispy but not overly greasy.
Pork chop sandwich, $7: This pork loin was beyond perfect. Instead of tasting like an overcooked piece of rubber or being difficult to eat, this was wonderfully tender on the inside with a nice crispy coating. These fries were ordered with cheese, which is made with all-natural cheddar and milk, and they were pretty darn good. They weren't slathered in some cheese from a bag or nacho-like cheese. I didn't feel bogged down after eating them.
HOURS OF OPERATION
Leeway Franks is currently open 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.Tuesday through Saturday at 935 Iowa St.

"It's going to go really well for them because it's quick service and good food," Watson said. "That goes a long way. It's not about a quantity; it's the quality. I look at them being around here. If they leave, it's only because they got a bigger spot."
All of Lee's meats are antibiotic-free, and he doesn't use fillers, he said. He butchers the pigs on Mondays and handmakes nearly 600 sausages by himself.
"It's all my recipes I've developed over the years," he said. "Each individual one looks different than the rest. They're in natural casings, so they have snaps, and some people are divided on it. Some people have never had natural casing and sometimes the texture is too much."
The natural casings to which Meisel refers are made of washed pork intestines. He said making his meat the most natural way possible is important to him because of where he comes from and where he's worked.
"There's no mystery to what I do. I don't ever want it to become a big manufacturer's process," he said. "My background is in butchering. I grew up in a small town in North Dakota Mandan — and that's where I learned how to grind meat properly."
Meisel said the Classic Coney is one of the most popular items on the menu. It's a beef frankfurter with brown mustard, sauteed onions and sauerkraut on a poppyseed bun. He said the restaurant tries to avoid using ketch-
"We try to stay away from ketchup unless your kid still has training wheels on his bike, he can have it, and we don't argue with pregnant women, so they can do that," Meisel said.
Meisel employs two individuals, one of which he worked with for years at 715 Restaurant, but has thought about bringing others on.
“[I'm] looking at maybe bringing on a couple part-time employees so I can get back to focusing on the sausages, especially if my production increases," he said. "Right now, between being open for eight hours then being here between eight and 10 hours extra every day, I can do it fine for now, but I don't want to do that forever."

Good referees should remain 'invisible'
SCOTT CHASEN
@SChasenKU
DAVIDENDO
DAVID GOLDMAN/AP PHOTO
Panama's Alberto Quintero, right, makes a point to referee Mark Geiger at the conclusion of a CONCACAF Gold Cup semifinal playoff soccer game against Mexico on Wednesday, July 22, in Atlanta. Mexico won 2-1 after a controversial call.
"I didn't celebrate because that penalty call left me with a bad taste."
Those were the words Mexico's Andrés Guardado said to Fox Sports following his country's dramatic semifinal win over Panama on Thursday. Guardado was awarded a penalty kick after a questionable handball call against Panama in the 89th minute, which allowed the Mexican side to tie up the game and force extra time nearly 10 minutes later.
You read that correctly.
Following the penalty call by referee Mark Geiger, the furious Panamanians surrounded the referee. There were fights on the field and fights in the stands. Things were thrown onto the pitch, and ultimately the incidents would delay the match for more than 10 minutes. The final whistle in regulation would not blow until the 105 minute mark.
It was an absolute disaster.
Eventually, Mexico would go on to win the match against a 10-man Panama side, which had lost a man earlier because of another questionable red card call.
Immediately, following the final whistle, the Panama players stormed the field and went right after Geiger, who would be ushered off the field by security.
The public was furious. Fans were all over Twitter talking about how the match had essentially been fixed by CONCACAF, and before long, Geiger's Wikipedia page was changed to give him the nickname "Viva Mexico."
It was a sight to behold.
After the incident on the field, the Panamanians took the pandemonium to a whole new level. They posed with a banner that read "CONCA-CAF LADRONES," with the word "corruptos" written three times across the bottom.
The translation: "CONCACAF
thieves. Corrupt. Corrupt. Corrupt." Later that night, "Mark Geiger" began trending on Twitter, capping off an eventful night for soccer fans, but this called a greater point into question.
Why would you want to be a referee?
At a glance, being a referee seems like a thankless job, and that's because approximately 99 percent of the time, it is. Even when a referee is praised, like Mark Geiger was at the 2014 World Cup, where he became the first American official to referee in the knockout round of the FIFA World Cup, not to mention the fact that he has been voted MLS Referee of the Year twice, the praise is often short lived.
Time after time, the preferred officials in sports, at least to fans, are the ones who simply stay out of the way.
So can there be good referees? Perhaps.
To illustrate this point, I'd offer up the example of the NBA's Joey Crawford. Crawford is by all accounts a good referee. He has nearly 40 years of refereeing experience under his belt and has officiated more than 2,000 NBA games.
However, people dislike him, and there's no secret as to why. Any quick Google search will show you that Crawford puts himself in the spotlight. Whether he's ejecting Tim Duncan for laughing while sitting on the bench, or yelling "shut up" at Cavaliers center Timofey Mozgov, Crawford has the propensity to act — well — un-official-like, to put it nicely.
And people flat out hate him for it. For example, if you search his name with the word "kill" on Twitter, you'll see that people offer up what are essentially death threats left and right.
Every single bad call he makes is amplified to the 1000th degree because of the way he puts himself out there, which brings me back to the central point: People want 'invisible'
referees
More often than not, referees are going to make the right call. However, when a referee gives out a harsh red card or a technical foul, and then continues to argue with players and coaches about it, he or she makes the game about the call, not about the play on the court, field, pitch or ice.
are poor officials or officiate a game poorly on a big stage, or (2) put themselves in the spotlight. Regardless, the end result is the same — ruthless, unadulterated hatred.
Ultimately, bad referees typically become known as such for one of two reasons: either they (1) truly
People want 'invisible' referees. It's as simple as that.
It's like a longtime referee once told former University of Washington athletics representative, Pat Dobel:
"I know I have done my job when I am invisible."

Key points from Big 12 Media Days

Kansas coach David Beaty got his first chance to talk about his plan and display his passion for Kansas football on the national stage July 20. He did that and much more in his inaugural Big 12 Media Day in the Dallas Omni Hotel.
Here are two key points from the two-day event.

Typically at media days, coaches steer away from revealing too much about their team in large part because camp is still two weeks away. However, Beaty did give an update on senior quarterback Michael Cummings who
tore his ACL in the spring game.
"[Cummings] had surgery in the middle of June, and I looked out of my window the other day and saw him throwing the ball already," Beaty said. "If anybody can make it back this year, it would be him."
Still, Beaty admitted the football program is looking at a sixth year of eligibility for Cummings. As of right now it appears junior quarterback Montell Cozart has the inside track to start in the season opener, but talented freshmen Ryan Willis, Carter Stanley and TJ Millweard will push him in camp.
Backfield depth
One of the few positions Beaty broke down was the running
back position. Even with the loss of sophomore Corey Avery due to violation of team rules, it appears Kansas will have plenty of talented running backs to hand the ball to.
"I've learned it is very difficult to make it through the season with one or two running backs," Beaty said. "We need every one of them; this is a tough league."
As of right now it looks as if DeAndre Mann, the leading returning rusher, has the upper leg on a talented group. Kansas also has talent with senior Taylor Cox coming back from an injury and Ke'Aunn Kinner, the reigning NJCAA Offensive Player of the Year, transferring from Navarro Junior College.

Ben Goodman: Sleeping giant of Kansas football
BEST BUILDER OF THE YEAR
SHANE JACKSON
@JacksonShane3
SHANE JACKSON/KANSAN
Senior defensive end Ben Goodman speaks at Big 12 Media Days on Monday, July 20, in Dallas. He said he wants to break the single season sack record of 14.5. He has five sacks in his three-year career.
"They be sleeping."
Kansas football defensive end Ben Goodman admitted he likes to tweet
that phrase every so often to remind the college football world it needs to pay attention to what he can do for Kansas in 2015.
"My whole career people have been sleeping on me," Goodman said on Monday at Big 12 Media Days in Dallas. "Part of the reason is because I have played out of position."
Even though he has been listed as defensive end for the first three years of his career, Goodman has served as more of a defensive tackle because the Jayhawks ran a 4-3 defensive scheme.
That's all about to change.
4
With a new head coach comes a new identity for Kansas football. Although former interim head coach Clint Bowen remains on staff as the defensive coordinator, Kansas will run a different scheme, the 3-4 — a defense Goodman considers home.
"It's the same defense we ran in high school," Goodman said. "It allows me to focus on getting to the quarterback [and] not filling in a certain gap."
Goodman played high school ball at West Brook High School in Beaumont, Texas. He did exactly what his coach told him and got to the quarterback at will. The 25 colleges that offered Goodman a scholarship out of high school took notice.
But the defensive scheme isn't the only throwback to high school for the 6-foot-3 senior. After wearing No.93 for the first three years, Goodman will wear No.10 for his
final stint in a Jayhawks uniform. Previously, he wore No. 10 for two years in high school because it was the number his dad wore when he played.
"I had some good moments in 93," Goodman said, "but I don't think I did anything too spectacular for people to remember me by 93. We have this new coaching change and I'm looking for a change myself. I'm trying to do things I haven't done before."
One of the things Goodman has never done at the collegiate level? Get to the quarterback at will.
"I'm trying to break the single season sack record at KU, which is 14.5, so I'm shooting for 15," Goodman said.
Goodman said after every sack this season he will do "the bird" dance seen during the tour he gave on ESPN this past weekend.
Breaking the single season sack record will be a tall task. In his three-year career, Goodman has recorded a total of five sacks, meaning he would have to triple a three-year mark to accomplish his goal. He has taken some measures to do just that.
"I've been doing yoga twice a week to help with my hips," Goodman said. "I stretch 24-7; I stay in and work on my hips."
Goodman started doing yoga in the spring semester when he got an Ambler Student Recreation Center pass for a yoga class after being encouraged by his good friends and former teammates JaCorey Shepherd, Dexter McDonald and Ben Heeney.
"They were like 'Yeah, bro, we be doing yoga all the time,'" Goodman said. "[...] If they are doing yoga and
getting to the NFL, I need to be doing yoga."
An NFL career is certainly the goal for Goodman, who has totaled 13 tackles for loss in his Kansas career. Goodman understands he has to drastically improve in his senior campaign for that dream to become a reality.
Goodman isn't only interested in personal goals for the upcoming season; he has team goals that go beyond this season.
"I want to be remembered as one of the guys that helped turn this thing around," Goodman said. "I want to begin the process of changing the culture of Kansas football."
Coach David Beaty has already referred to changing the culture as a process, not an overnight occurrence. One of the driving factors in this process is a new motto Kansas has adopted under Beaty: "Earn it." Goodman found himself saying the phrase multiple times during Media Day.
"Nothing is guaranteed," Goodman said. "Even for me, I feel like I have to earn it, even though I'm a senior and here at media days."
If he earns the starting role at defensive end as expected, Goodman will spearhead a defensive line that plans to get after the quarterback at will.
"Our whole defense is going to pin their ears back and [opposing offenses] are going to be like,' Man, that Jayhawk team hits hard," Goodman said.
No one is considered safe from the wrath of the defensive line, Goodman and his bird sack dance. Not even the league's best quarterback — a Heisman favorite out of Big 12 favorite TCU.
"Just ask Treveone [Boykin] at the end of the season," Goodman added with a big smile.
Until then, the whole world might keep sleeping on Goodman, but after 2015 that may not be the story.

"We need to win a Big 12 Championship. We need to get past the Sweet 16, Elite Eight, Final Four, and we need to do that consistently."
These were the words of Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard, who is preparing his team for the 2015 season after three of the most successful years in the program's history.
Three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances have been great for the Kansas program, but following a Sweet 16 appearance in 2013, the team suffered a setback with a tough loss in the first round of the 2014 tournament. 2015 will be the year Kansas tries to get over the hump.

This year's schedule will not be easy for Bechard and the Jayhawks, who begin play at the Arkansas Tournament on Aug. 28 in Fayetteville, Ark. Kansas will square off with the University of Arkansas in the third game, which would mark the start of a rigorous road for the Jayhawks.
[Arkansas has] a chance to be one of the top three teams in the SEC; Bechard said. "Duke is going to be one of the top teams in the ACC; UMKC is coming off their best season ever in program history and they have everybody back except one player. Gonzaga could win their conference and it just goes on and on and on. The tournament at Wyoming with Marquette and Northern Colorado — all three of those teams could be NCAA tournament teams so it'll certainly get us ready."
Adding to a tough schedule is the loss of Sara McClinton, who finished sixth all-time in kills at Kansas, as well as the loss of Chelsea Albers, who became the seventh player in program history to record 900 kills and 800 digs. Both McClinton and Albers graduated last May.
Two incoming freshmen and two more incoming transfers will supplant the loss of McClinton and Albers with the 12 Jayhawks who return. The transfers — Anna Church from Saint Louis University and Ashlyn Driskill from Wichita State — help the team immedi-
should help the team immediately and give two more seniors to a young but experienced squad.
The only other senior on the roster, Tiana Dockery, will look to improve on her 2014 campaign in which she received All-Big 12 Honorable Mention honors. Dockery was third on the team in kills a season ago.
"We are beyond excited for this upcoming season and more than ready to dominate," Dockery said.
Dockery will help anchor the offense at the outside hitter position,
as will AVCA All-American Honorable Mention setter Ainise Havili. The Jayhawks may lack some size up front, but they have a plethora of capable athletes to be productive.
"I don't think we will be as dominant physically as we've been, but I think offensively we can be more balanced than we've ever been," Bechard said. "We can play faster, and I think we can control tempo and pace more so than we ever have."
Defensively, the Jayhawks return all of their libero/defensive specialists from a season ago and add another with Church's transfer. Sophomore Kayla Cheadle, twin sister of Kansas women's basketball's Chayla Cheadle, brings some size to the middle blocker position, where Kansas could be loaded with the return of juniors Janae-Hall and a healthy Tayler Soucie.
Maybe the biggest difference maker in 2015 will be Kelsie Payne. The 6-foot-3 rising sophomore finished the 2014 season with a career-high 15 kills and eight blocks in the team's final match against UALR.
"She's gonna be a lot more comfortable this year even though we might be putting her in a new position. She can dominate from a block and attack standpoint," Bechard said. "We want her to be very comfortable in the role of a go-to player."
A trip to Europe over the summer also helped the team bond and play together. For Dockery, Havili and Payne, experiences with the Collegiate National Team should better prepare them for tough competition ahead.
After setting the sell-out record a season ago and collecting 73 wins in the past three years, the goal is clear for Kansas volleyball: make it further than ever before and challenge for a Big 12 Championship with powerhouse Texas.
