"They basically cannot treat more serious forms of mental illness like bipolar, borderline personality disorder, antisocial, things that are more than anxiety and depression, they can't treat," Baker said. "One: because they don't have the facilities to do so, and two: because they are bound by regulations to where they can't do it. So they have to refer out. And so that's troublesome for students because I want to be able to go on campus for a service that's fairly cheap and get my mental health there, but then they get referred out."
As more students seek help from CAPS, it becomes challenging to schedule appoint-

Last year, CAPS saw its highest number of students — 1,583, according to Maestas. This year, the number is on track to exceed that.
Maestas said young adulthood is often the time when, if a person is going to have severe mental health problems, the disorders show up.
"Due to the nature of bipolar disorder ... CAPS cannot responsibly manage or treat this disorder, even during periods of relative stability," Pam Botts, associate and clinical director of CAPS, said in an email. "Our goal is to help students with bipolar disorder establish care with a provider who can provide appropriate services as needed."
Currently, students with severe mental health problems, like Maiden, are often advised to seek help off campus.
"Usually the first episodes happen in the early 20s. Same with psychotic disorders," he said.
"That is an area we need to take more effort into addressing."
Results from 428 student respondents to the 2015 Kentucky State University Assessment program, provided by the U.S. Department of Education.
ments. Maestas said the soonest appointment is roughly two weeks out at any given time. But if a student indicates a need for an immediate appointment, they can be seen that day.
CAPS and Student Senate are in discussions to find more funding. Maestas said it's recommended that for every 1,000 to 1,500 students, there should be one professional. By that metric, Maestas said CAPS still needs six professionals. He said CAPS has added three positions in the seven years he has been at the University.
Student Body President Jessie Pringle said the CAPS Advisory Board has helped aid Maestas with addressing issues of mental health on campus. She said

the board is looking at how to expand CAPS with more offices and more personnel. That conversation will take place during Senate's fee review later this year. During the fee review, Senate allocates money to different student services.
Pringle said that if Senate increases the fee, the money could be used to hire more personnel or make the cost of visits free.
Baker said hed like to see the fee increase.
"I'd like to see [the student fee] increase because there hasn't been an increase in that fee for
"I definitely think that hiring more personnel, that would open up more spots and they could see more students," Pringle said.
Maiden said that while the state of mental health care on campus could be improved, especially in treatment of more severe mental illness, students shouldn't give up hope of finding help or learning to cope with their mental illness.
three or four years," he said. "It's remained constant whereas almost every other fee has gone up."
"I would say don't treat your mental illness as a nemesis. Instead, view it as a roommate who has an impact on your daily life. Don't let it dictate your behavior, but come to terms with it even if that means facing it as an insecurity," Maiden said. "People are more willing to listen than you may think. People do care."

Crowds gather to see McCollum Hall implosion
MCKENNA HARFORD @McKennaHarford
About 100 people gathered in the Oliver Hall parking lot to watch the razing of McCollum Hall on Daisy Hill on Wednesday morning. Many were there just to watch the building
come down, but Keesa Shrader, a senior from Dodge City, was there to say goodbye.
The University razed McCollum Hall to create additional parking on Daisy Hill after the completion of Self and Oswald Halls, which were finished this August.
Shrader lived in McCollum
as a freshman and her father lived in McCollum Hall when he attended KU. Watching the building go down was bittersweet, she said.
"It's generations of memories blowing up," Shrader said.
Shrader remembers that McCollum was full of quirks, like a lobby chair always in the elevators and the stench in the halls after a radiator combusted on her floor.
"I'm upset that upcoming freshmen won't get to experience McCollum," she said. "I'm convinced living there was different from every other dorm."
sity plans to reuse the concrete and masonry materials and recycle any metal, according to a news release.
The razing of McCollum took less than a minute. The Univer-
Sarah Kurien, who graduated in 2002, said she didn't live in McCollum, but her husband had lived there so she brought their kids because she thought it would be interesting and
unique. Kurien said it was impressive to watch the building come down.
"It was amazing to see the skyline change so quickly," Kurien said.

We must understand the difference between positive and negative liberty
JESSE BURBANK
@JBurbank1
Political debates in the United States are often premised on finding the ideal balance between liberty and equality.
This manifests itself in many ways. For example, should everyone be granted roughly equal healthcare or should a person's job and income determine the care they receive? Should citizens be required to pay more taxes to build a more equal education system, like through free college? Political questions like these are everywhere.
Political theorist Isaiah Berlin provides a useful framework for this in his essay "Two Concepts of Liberty." In it, he outlines two forms of liberty: positive and negative.
Negative liberty is often what people imagine when they think of liberty - the absence of restraint and the absence of mandates. In his arcane language, Berlin describes negative liberty as whether a person "should be left to do or be what he is able to do or be, without interference by other
As Berlin puts it, negative liberty means "I am a slave to no man." Conversely, positive liberty means "I am my own master," free to pursue the life of my choice.
Positive liberty, on the other hand, recognizes that true freedom is not simply the absence of restraint. It is a societal realization that freedom requires sacrifice. It requires the provision of services like quality schools and basic healthcare
But a person is not truly free if they are simply left alone. What ability do they have to change their station in life if they received a poor education, if they are starving, or if they have never had access to the means of fulfilling their own potential?
think critically, we are gaining agency to influence the direction of our own lives and of society. This is what positive liberty means.
As college students, we are learning the skills necessary to influence our own destinies. By learning how to better communicate, calculate, and
However, when thinking of how to balance liberty and equality, one must ask what liberty truly means.
Indeed, in some cases. negative freedom can actually represent a form of oppression. When a nation denies large groups of its citizens the agency to change their lives under the guise of protecting liberty, it relegates them to a more difficult, more miserable life.
Of course, positive liberty and negative liberty are not entirely mutually exclusive and both can be taken to extremes. However, recognizing the difference between the two is crucial for understanding the assumptions of political discussions and the goals that society should hold.

Every student should get the vaccine for HPV
ABBY PETRULIS
@apetrulis
THEKANSAN
@UNIVERSITY
DAILYKANSAN
Should I get the HPV
vaccine?
The short answer is yes, absolutely, but let's talk a little bit more about what it means to get the HPV shot.
Why is it important? HPV, or human papillomavirus, is an incredibly common virus. Nearly 80 million people, or about one of every four people, has a current HPV infection. But the HPV virus is complex — not all of these infectious strains can cause damage to your body later on. In fact, about nine out of 10 cases actually go away on their own and show no symptoms.
However, some strains can cause cervical, vaginal, penile or anal cancer, as well as causing some genital warts and even throat cancers. It's these few strains that we need
/THEKANSAN
to protect against, and since HPV is really everywhere,the best way to do that is through vaccination.
What is the vaccine?
Most people know the vaccine by its trade name, Gardasil. The newest vaccine, Gardasil-9, provides immunity to nine different cancer-causing strains of the HPV virus, though many people in college now were vaccinated with Gardasil-4, the first vaccine protecting against only four strains of HPV.
These nine strains have been identified as HPV and as cancer-causing, but there are over 150 strains of HPV we know of — again, not all of these are cancer-causing. In fact, only about 40 of the 150 different strains infect genital areas. The goal of vaccine development was to first identify which strains are most prevalent in causing genital cancers and then create an immune response. The vaccine is made from a single protein and cannot infect you.
Your immune system is pretty smart — it can recognize proteins that are usually on the outside of viruses or bacteria and mark it for destruction. A separate part of your immune system functions as memory. That means that every time you're exposed to something that looks like that, it will always be targeted for destruction — not just the first time. That's why we can use just small parts of infectious agents to create vaccines, and since it's not the whole germ, we can't get sick from it.
Who should get the vaccine?
Everyone should get vaccinated. Not just women men, you can get cancer from this too, and you can keep
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommends that children start getting the shots around age 11, though women can get it until age 26, and men can get it until age 21.
However, the vaccine works best if you get it before you're ever potentially exposed to HPV, which would be long before you're sexually active. That's why it's recommend at such young ages, though there is also an increased immune response in preteen children
spreading it if you don't get vaccinated.
HPV is everywhere — if you get the shot, it doesn't mean you're inappropriately sexually active, it just means you're taking advantage of modern medicine to protect yourself. Oh, and you absolutely cannot get HPV from a toilet
— a fancy way of saying the vaccination is more effective in younger people.
seat. You can only get it from sexual contact.
@KANSANNEWS
How do I get vaccinated?
You can easily get the vaccination here on campus at Watkins. However, the vaccine is not given in pharmacies (unlike the easy-to-obtain flu shot), so you'll need to schedule a visit to the doctor. This is partially because it's a three-shot series. The second shot is given one to two months after the first one, and the last shot is given six months after you get the initial shot. It's usually covered by insurance — so what are you waiting for? Protect yourself.

Required classes waste time and resources of students who want to jump into their majors
RACHEL GONZALES
@KansanNews
For many students, college is a time to learn skills that will help them start careers. Required, or core, classes at the college level make this more difficult and are both costly and time-consuming. At Kansas, students should be able to dive straight into the classes that are pertinent to their majors or interests, saving them time and money.
At universities across the country, students are forced to take classes that are not important to them in order to graduate. These classes can, in some cases, take up to a
couple years to complete.
Beyond the time that core classes take away from students is the financial burden that it places on them. A large part of tuition goes towards these classes. Many students struggle to pay for college, and not making them pay for irrelevant classes would
And while some people go to school full time, it is not uncommon for students to have other obligations like a job or a family, and they can't afford to waste time on classes that are irrelevant. Students with full schedules would benefit from being able to focus their time toward what they actually want to do.
significantly ease that burden. College tuition is expensive, and it's difficult to have to pay for classes that will ultimately not help you in your career.
rurther, these classes often repeat material that students have already learned in high school. For example, classes like English and Communications 101, which are required at the University in order to graduate, are similar to high school English and speech classes.
It would be more beneficial to spend the first two years of college learning new, major-specific material. At the college level, students have already spent 12 years learning general education. People go to college in order to start a specific career, and college should therefore be vocational in nature.

While some may say that taking required courses provides a more well rounded education, students who are uninterested in the course material are not likely to remember the minimal overview of the subject anyway. According to Washington Post writer Daniel de Vise, some higher
Getting rid of the core requirements at the University would allow students to spend their money and time building skills that will help them in the futures they see for themselves.

Music in focus: Joyce Castle, former opera star
SAMANTHA SEXTON
@Sambiscuit
Until Joyce Castle came to the University, it didn't have a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree.
Castle still calls the University her home, but now as a distinguished professor rather than a student.
"I was in high school and I loved to sing and I loved to act," Castle said. "KU was very close by, but I wasn't sure I wanted to come here until the school created the B.F.A. just for me. I was ecstatic."
Some may say that creating a whole new curriculum for one student would be a risky endeavor and may not be worth the effort, especially if that student chose to drop out or switch majors, as the majority do. However, after graduation, Castle proved that the school's belief in her was well placed.
"I travelled around the country and was doing small jobs here and there," Castle said. "Then in 1970, I joined the San Francisco Opera for younger people and it changed my life"
Raised by a pianist for a mother and taught to sing classically at three years old. Castle knew that singing and performing was her calling, but not until the San Francisco Opera did she realize her dream.
"It was wonderful," Castle said. "I was performing all over the country. I was slowly but surely making my way up to bigger and bolder roles and I was loving every moment of it."
After achieving success with the San Francisco Opera, Castle decided that America had heard enough of her talent and decided she should share her voice with the world.
"I didn't think I would be in demand worldwide for opera and concerts and shows," Castle said. "But everything was coming together. I was learning and performing in Paris, Prague, all over Europe. I was even the first woman to perform as Mrs. Lovett in Sweeney Todd."
When her overseas adventure came to a close, however, Castle said she realized that her alma mater was the first place to put faith in her and had given her that stepping stool to help her jump into life.
"I still perform and I've always loved performing," Castle said. "But I wanted to do something more, and then I remembered KU."
When -Castle came to the University around 12 years ago as a professor, she knew she had made the right decision, regardless of how daunting it had seemed.
"I had no idea what I had gotten myself into." Castle said. "I just thought, 'Oh goodness, how do I teach people how to sing?' But then I remembered that opera is challenging and that's why I love it; it pushes me to be the best that I can be and I've always loved to be challenged. I was worried I wouldn't be able to teach until I took it as a challenge."
She loves being a professor now, but Castle isn't the only one who was happy that she came back to be a part of the Jayhawk family.
"I came to KU' because of
Joyce," said Emily Bennett, a doctoral student in voice. "In this field, as in any performance or art fields, you go where the talent is, and I wouldn't have gone anywhere else."
"I love being a student to Joyce," Bennett said. "She actually, truly cares, not only about you as an artist, but for you as a person and where you're from and what you want to do. I can be so open with her."
Bennett has been a student of Castle for the last couple of years and said that working with the opera star has made her a better performer and an all-around better person.
Bennett said that this openness goes both ways, and that Castle uses her 40-plus years of professional experience to help each of her students.
"She doesn't even just help her students," Bennett said. "If she hears about some architecture student doing something and she has a contact, she'll do what she can to help them out. She's always calling up old friends, who we all regard as icons, to lend a hand teaching us or to give us an experience that she might not be able to."
In 2014, Castle was named a distinguished professor, which marks an instructor's ability to teach their students far above the standard.
"I'm so grateful to be a student here with Joyce," Bennett said. "She teaches each and every one of us to be well rounded, kind and generous, and to love our craft and love what we're doing."

I will never forget the music that has made me a part of this world.

Kansas went 1-1 over the weekend, picking up a 66-58 win over Northern Illinois on Friday and falling to tournament champion SMU on Saturday, 73-64.
Going into the SMU Thanksgiving Classic last weekend in Dallas, the Kansas women's basketball team wanted to rebound after a 15-point loss to Arizona last Monday. The Jayhawks were guarded two games in the tournament, either playing in the consolation game or championship game after Friday's game.
Game 1: Aldridge does it again
Sophomore guard Lauren Aldridge went 5-of-7 from beyond the arc, tying a career-high 17 points. Her performance was key as Kansas notched a 66-58 win over the Huskies.
However, Aldridge was not the only major contributor against Northern Illinois. Junior forward Caelynn Manning-Allen collected her first double-double of the year with 12 points and 11 rebounds, a game-high mark among all players.
Through the first quarter, there was little action between the layhawks and Huskies. However, Kansas began to pull away late in the second quarter. Kansas went on a 10-0 run in a two-and-a-half-minute span late in the quarter to push the lead to 18 points at the halftime break.
The closest the Huskies were after that was eight points with 2:30 left in the game at 60-52, as Kansas went on to win fairly comfortably.
Game 2: Comeback nearly completed
After a win on Friday, Kansas took on host SMU for the tournament championship on
Saturday. Trailing 9-0 early, the Jayhawks boosted a 9-0 run of their own but were behind, 43-24, at halftime.
The young Kansas team outscored the Mustangs, 40-30, in the second half but fell, 73-64, in its second loss of the season. Sophomore guard Chayla Cheadle came off the bench scoring a season-high 17 points in 29 minutes of play. Manning-Allen, who was also named to the SMU Thanksgiving Classic All-Tournament Team, improved on her career high in points with 14.
Foul trouble haunted the Jayhawks as five players each had three fouls before halftime. Two players, freshman guard Aisia Robertson and Cheadle, pouled out late in the game.
Starting on Wednesday, Kansas will play six quality opponents, all at home, starting with Creighton. This will be the start of a six-game home

stand before Big 12 play begins on Dec. 30 in Norman, Okla., against Oklahoma.
The Bluejays (4-2) will come into Allen Fieldhouse after going 2-1 in the Lone Star Showcase in Austin, Texas, with their only loss coming to the No. 19 Northwestern Wildcats. Creighton was also defeated by Drake last week.
Kansas will host St. John's UMKC, Navy, Washington State and Oral Roberts to round out nonconference play. The next six teams have a combined record of 19-13, and the best team is Washington State, which is currently undefeated at 6-0.
Kansas knows what it takes to play on the road, so playing back at home should be able to return some confidence to this young team.
Kansas (3-2) begins the homestand on Wednesday against Creighton at 7 p.m. in Allen Fieldhouse.
KU's special teams blunders lead to a lopsided loss in Sunflower Showdown
- Edited by Jackson Vickery
SHANE JACKSON @jacksonshane3
When head coach David Beaty took the job at the University of Kansas, he knew the daunting task he had in front of him. A program in complete turmilu after two coaching whiffs was now in the hands of a rookie head coach.
With all those things considered, Beaty set out three achievable goals prior to the start of the season; no wins were promised. Instead Beaty
sought out to be amongst the conference best in turnover margin, penalties and special teams.
This season the Jayhawks fell short on all three goals, ranking towards the bottom in both turnover margin and special teams. The latter was a key component in Kansas' 45-14 defeat on Saturday against its in-state rival Kansas State. The loss gave the Jayhawks their first winless season since 1954, as they finished 0-12 on the year.
"Special teams played a big role in tonight's game," Beaty said. "You take those two blocked punts away and a couple poor punts after that — it had a huge affect on the game. It affected us mentally."
On the very first possession, the Jayhawks offense sputtered, going three-and-out. Things took a turn for a worse when junior Matthew Wyman muffed the snap and was drilled on a punt; the Wildcats pounced on the loose ball.

State took a 7-0 lead on a 12-yard rushing touchdown.
"It was a rough start; it's hard to get back once one thing goes wrong." Wyman said. "I just dropped the snap. I don't know if it was nerves or the ball was dry; I just didn't see the ball in my hands."
With 6:30 to go in the first quarter, Kansas State made it 21-7 on another blocked punt. This time, the Wildcats jumped on the ball in end zone for the special teams score.
"That's disappointing to end the year with a punt being blocked in a game," Beaty said. "As much time as we put into it, that might be the one of most disappointing things I have experienced as a coach this year."
Junior kicker Matthew Wyman attempts a point after touchdown against Kansas State on Nov. 28. Earlier in the game, Wyman muffed a long snap and also had a blocked punt.
It wasn't until the third try that Kansas was able to successfully get a punt off.
"Everyone screwed up during the game," sophomore linebacker Joe Dineen said. "It just sucks because when the punter screws up its so blatantly obvious. The punts that he didn't get off were not the difference in the game. It was a team effort."
But the pressure was still there, and Wyman shanked the punt. The ball soared out of bounds for a net gain of 21 yards. Three plays later, Kansas State made it 28-7 on a Glen Gronkowski touchdown run from eight yards out.
"I was fighting myself the rest of the game to get my mind back into it," Wyman said. "I was definitely nervous after the first time. It just wasn't my day punting."
However, it wasn't just Saturday that Kansas struggled in that area of the game. In fact the Jayhawks have been dismal
All three special teams blunders came in the first quarter alone, which led to an enormous early deficit that the lay-hawks were never able to overcome on Senior Day. For the game, Kansas punted six times for an average of 24.5 yards per punt.

in that department all year.
Until Wyman began double dipping as kicker and punter, Kansas boasted the worst扑unting team in the nation. No punter on the lahayws roster had a higher average than 34 yards per punt.
Even when Kansas made the switch to utilizing its kicker in the punt game, the area only slightly improved. Wyman finished the year with an average of 40.5 yards per punt.
"The whole punting game is new to me." Wyman said. "I'm still learning the Big 12 game. It sucks because kicking definitely has its up and downs. I'm doing what I can to help the team, today I just didn't perform."
But it wasn't just the punt game that struggled in the special team department.
The Jayhawks were inconsistent in the kicking game all season. Kansas made just 6-of-11 field goals all season long. The Jayhawks booted through four of their six field goals in the first two games of the season.
The return game did not fare much better either. Aside from the 91-yard kickoff return for a touchdown by freshman running back Ryan Schadler in the season opener, the longest return of the season for the Jayhawks was just 26 yards.
For the season, Kansas ranked dead last in the conference in punt returns and in the bottom tier in kick returns.
Now, the special teams do not deserve sole blame for the 0-12 campaign. Nor do they deserve a majority of the blame.
However, Saturday highlighted it as an area that Kansas needs to improve on in the offseason. If Beaty plans to be competitive in the conference down the road, he needs to achieve all three of his realistic goals he set prior to the start of the season.
That starts with the special teams unit.

Just like the first 11 games of the season, Kansas' game against Kansas State was a must-win. But it was the last must-win — the finale, of sorts. It was a must-win for the seniors, whose last win came Nov. 8, 2014. It was a way for Kansas coach David Beaty to show some hard evidence of progress in his first year at the helm of the program. A win would provide a way to walk away from the 2015 season with some sort of pride.
49-0
62-7
Instead, Kansas dropped to 0-12 with a 45-14 loss to Kansas State. The team experienced its first winless season since 1954, leaving the departing seniors and next year's returners with a sour taste.
59-20
"I'm certainly not proud of it," Beaty said of the winless record. "It's not something you ever really think about. We don't have time to dwell on it. It is what it is; we had our opportunities. We had 12 opportunities to go out there and put a team on the
field that could win the game."
The Jayhawks sixth-straight loss to the Wildcats was rather illustrative of its entire season, too. Two minutes in, Kansas special teamer Matthew Wyman muffed a snap and was pulled down far behind the line. Kansas State scored on the next play.
"Obviously those special teams mistakes where we were backed up into our own territory were huge. Not only were they huge point swings, but they were huge momentum swings," senior running back Taylor Cox said. "One of the things we felt like we needed to do to win this game was not beat ourselves, and, obviously, we weren't able to get that done."
"What is causing that? I don't
But yet, at least momentarily, there was a glimmer of hope
58-10
— something that has regularly risen out of almost every Kansas game this year. Freshman quarterback Ryan Willis drove the Jayhawks down in six plays over 1:47 to tie the game at 7-7. It would be the best Kansas drive of the game, without question. Kansas' success quickly went by the wayside, something that has happened far too often this year.
know that there's really any excuse, to be honest," Beaty said of the early stalling offensively. "A lot of people talk about the youth on our football team, but those youthful guys get spoken to just like those older guys do. We've just got to keep talking to them until they get it."
On its next four drives, Kansas either went three-and-out or turned the ball over on all of them. Kansas State scored four more touchdowns of its own, one of which came off a blocked punt — the second special teams blunder of the game that led to points for Kansas State.
With that, the glimmer of hope — the chance of a victory in the final game in a Kansas uniform for some, and the first of the season for all — was dashed. At the end of the first quarter, Kansas State was up 28-7. At half, it was 35-7.
The game was on par with the 576 yards Kansas tallied up in the season opening loss and the 10-0 lead the Jayhawks ran out to against Memphis before being clobbered through the remainder of the game, 55-23. It was comparable to the opportunities Kansas had against Iowa State to grasp momentum
But this one, this momentum Kansas held for a few moments, it was different. It wasn't just another chance, or another "must win". It was Kansas' last chance to save its status as the only winless team in a power five conference.
before the offense stalled. The quick drive and score to tie it up was almost identical to that of the game against the Baylor Bears, where the layhawks tied it up 7-7, only to lose in front of their home crowd, 66-7.
Then, it faded; the wiliness season the people around the Kansas program had feared since falling to South Dakota State in the opening game had been reached.
"I would have never thought of anything like this ... Not in a million years," junior safety Fish Smithson said. "It's real
For most everyone, a season like this was never expected. Yet still, the layhawks sit in the aftermath of a 0-12 season.
"Moving forward, this program needs more consistency, and I think we're going to get that," Cox said. "There's nothing you can really say. Obviously, you love to get some of those games back that were close."
frustrating that it happened, but that's something that we've got to live with and try to prevent that happening again.
The Jayhawks stood at 125th in run defense and 122nd in pass defense of 128 teams in FBS heading into the game against the Wildcats.
They finished the year allowing 11 straight opponents to rush for 200 yards. The 553 points the team allowed were the most Kansas had given up in a single season; the average of 46.1 currently stands as the worst in college football, though most teams have one game to go.

Offensively, the Jayhawks' top three quarterbacks were lost to injury, forcing Beaty to start freshman Ryan Willis to close out the season, without a whole lot of success. He tallied with eight touchdowns on

1,719 yards passing, along with nine interceptions. With Willis under center, and even with juniors Montell Cozart and Deordre Ford at quarterback, Kansas never scored more than 20 points after the Week 2 loss to Memphis.
That was all expected, in some way, in Beaty's first year of his five-year plan. Still, there is some silver lining for Kansas. As the seniors are ushered away, the freshman-heavy team now has an entire year under its belt to build off of. However, it's certain that this season did not go the way anyone around the program wanted it to.
Now it's up to next year's team to change the culture.
"That'll be motivation, honestly," sophomore linebacker Joe Dineen said. "
It's embarrassing to go 0-12. I mean, that's unacceptable. It's unacceptable for the fans, and it's unacceptable for the University of Kansas. But that'll drive us.
"All the way through winter, spring, into the summer, and we just know that we've got to get better and we've got to improve on where we are now."

The Kansas volleyball team's initial reaction to its seeding was lackluster. The NCAAs Selection Sunday Show on ESPNU announced the top eight seeds individually, then plastered the rest of the 16 in list format. No one moved.
"Aw. Wait. That's us," one of the players said, pointing at the screen.
The eruption wasn't completely forgotten, but rather delayed. The No. 9 Kansas Jayhawks, one of 16 teams to host the first and second rounds of the NCAA Tournament on their own court, screamed in excitement when "Kansas" flashed up on the screen, showing its first-round pairing with Furman.
They became even more raucous when the final team in the division was selected.
The Kansas volleyball team reacts after Missouri is revealed to be in its region.
But playing Missouri isn't guaranteed. Kansas plays Furman first. And Missouri plays Missouri State. And for a 26-2
That team? The Missouri Tigers.
Kansas volleyball team that set numerous school records throughout the year, it's really about so much more than that. Regardless, the road to Omaha goes through Furman and starts in Horesei.
First round: Furman
AMIE JUST/KANSAN
Kansas (26-2) faces off against Furman (21-8) on Dec. 3 at 7:30 p.m. in Horejsi, Kansas and Furman have played one time before in school history, back in 2000, when Kansas won in three sets. Currently, the Paladins are on a five-match win streak, a run that lasted through the Southern Conference championship.
Kansas and Furman have both played Missouri State, which also made the tournament. Furman opened up against Missouri State and fell in three sets; meanwhile, Kansas swept Missouri State 3-0.
If Kansas gets past Furman, it will face either Missouri (26-5)
or Missouri State (24-10). The Tigers finished second in the SEC, while the Bears finished second in the Missouri Valley's championship tournament.
Second round: Missouri/Missouri State
Kansas has already played Missouri State in what was a three-set victory. However, Kansas hasn't played Missouri since Nov. 2, 2011, the final game before the Tigers left for the SEC. Kansas lost that game in four sets.
This season, both Missouri and Kansas shared one opponent: Arkansas. The Jayhawks went to four sets with the Razorbacks, but ultimately defeated them. Missouri played Arkansas once this season as well, winning in three sets.
The game between Missouri and Missouri State is slated to be played on Friday Dec. 4. The time has yet to be announced.
If Kansas defeats Missouri or Missouri State, it heads out to San Diego for the regional.
Regionals: San Diego
The four potential opponents for Kansas would be Loyla Marymount (22-8), Colorado
State (26-3), New Mexico State (28-5) or No. 8 Stanford (22-6). If Kansas would move past that game, the second regional game would be played against No. 1 USC (30-2), Cleveland State (26-6), Northern Arizona (28-4), San Diego (21-9), North Carolina (20-9), North Carolina-Wilmington (24-7), Coastal Carolina (25-4) or No. 16 Creighton (25-8).
Final Four: Omaha
If Kansas advanced in the Final Four, it would play against the winner of the semifinal from the Austin regional and the Des Moines regional.
The ranked teams in that regional are No. 5 Washington (28-2), No. 12 Ohio State (23-9), No. 13 BYU (26-3) and No. 4 Nebraska (26-4).
If Kansas managed to get through the gauntlet of the San Diego regional, it would move closer to home in Omaha, Neb. The winner of the San Diego regional is pit against the winner of the Lexington, Ky., regional.
Ranked teams in those two regionales are No. 3 Texas (25-2), No. 14 UCLA (23-7), No. 11 Florida (22-6), No. 6 Wisconsin (24-6), No. 7 Penn State (26-5), No. 10 Texas A&M (23-6), No. 15 Louisville (24-6) and No. 2 Minnesota (26-4).

On Thursday, Kansas coach Bill Self was named National Coach of the Year by the AP, according to a KU Athletics release. Right now, Self is in Houston, where the Final Four is taking place, to accept the award.
According to the AP release, Self is the first Kansas coach to win the distinction twice while at the University. The only other Kansas coach to win the award was Roy Williams in 1992.
This year, Self received 21 of a possible 65 votes. Xavier's Chris Mack came in second with 15 votes; Oregon's Dana Altman received 13, according to the release.
Self coached the Jayhawks to a 33-5 record in the 2015-16 season, falling in the Elite Eight. The team earned the No. 1 overall seed in the 2016 NCAA tournament, following a season in which it won the Big 12 regular season title and tournament.
Kansas also won the Maui Jim Maui Invitational earlier in the year. On January 30, the team picked up a win in the Big 12/SEC Challenge against Kentucky.
This is the second time Self has won the award from the AP. He racked up National Coach of the Year honors from the outlet in 2009.
USA Today, Bleacher Report and the NABC have also named Self as National Coach of the Year for this season.

LIFE COACH & MENTOR FOR LGBTQ+ STUDENTS
by Lara Korte
@lara_korte
"I'VE BEEN KNOCKED ON MY ASS PLENTY OF TIMES AT THIS POINT, AND THAT'S WHY I DO WHAT I DO." -ROZE BROOKS
Roze Brooks calls their office a "revolving door" of students.
As the first of several doorways in the hall of the Student Involvement and Leadership Center, Brooks is at an easily-accessible location for people who want to discuss a new article they saw, receive some life advice or get their opinion on a new hair color.
As the first openly gender non-conforming individual in their field of higher education and graduate assistant in the Center for Sexuality and Gender Diversity, Brooks provides an active and empathetic lense to problems faced by LGBTQ+ students on campus.
"I have to double-double-double up as a life coach and a relationship advisor and family counselor and as an academic advisor and all these other things, because it became clear
to me very quickly that a lot of my students I work with either don't feel comfortable or they don't know where to go or they've had bad experiences," Brooks said. "So they come to me."
For the past year, Brooks has worked in the Sexuality and Gender Diversity Center, often just called "The Center," to provide resources to LGBTQ+ students and educational programming for allies. One of their recent programs is a series of conversations called "TRANSlation" where students were invited to discuss and learn about issues faced by transgender individuals.
As an undergraduate at the University of Missouri Kansas City, Brooks said they had a positive experience helping create an LGBTQ+ group and organizing one of the biggest regional LGBTQ+ conferences: The Midwest Bisexual Lesbian Gay Transgender Ally College Conference, or MBLGTACC for short.
As co-chair of the conference, Brooks said they developed strong relationships with administrators at UMKC and said they were able to basically turn around the relationship between queer students and administration on campus. Brooks said coming to the University meant coming to "an institute that functions radically differently."
"To realize that not everyone is in student affairs to change student affairs was not something I anticipated," Brooks said.
Murphy Maiden, a junior from Overland Park, said Brooks has tackled issues at the University not just by being an empathetic voice to confide in, but also by spreading ideas of acceptance and understanding across
campus.
"Not only are they creating these safe spaces for trans students to exist and discuss their identities, and be allowed to discuss them, and create safety for them, but they're also educating people who aren't necessarily part of those spaces on campus to create a more inclusive environment on campus and hopefully some self-reflectivity in students and staff and faculty who are not among the LGBTQ+ population on campus," Maiden said.
Furthermore, Maiden said Brooks has encouraged them to speak up in their own lives.
"Toze has been one of my mentors on campus who's really helped me to reveal myself on campus in terms of my own identity and being more open and more active and advocating for them," Maiden said. "Not only for myself but
for others whose identities I don't share."
After graduation this spring, Brooks said they will not remain involved in the University but has no intention of distancing themselves from advocating for queer college students.
+ +
As for others at the University,such as some of their cohorts,Brooks said they hope they can come to realize there is work to be done in higher education.
"Hopefully, some of them, in the most lovingly way possible, get knocked on their ass and realize that they've got work to do, because I've been knocked on my ass plenty of times at this point, and that's why I do what I do, but there are other folks who still need that," Brooks said.

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF ANTHONY GARDNER
ACTIVE DUTY STUDENT-SOLDIER by Tanner Hassell @thassell17
In the wee hours of a weekday before the sun is up, most students at the University are still snuggled up in their beds. For Anthony Gardner, a junior from Garden City and Army Reserve Specialist (SPC), the day begins around 5 a.m. when he walks into the gym.
He might be there again later that day, but after a couple hours of cardio and lifting while the sun rises, it's time to get ready for class. By 9 a.m. he's in the classroom. This is just another day in the life of this student-soldier.
"Being a college student is stressful in and of itself," Gardner said. "I've always had a lot on my plate, but I've learned that it's much harder to be involved with so much and still balance the college and military lifestyles."
As a political science major, Gardner said he normally enrolls in 15 to 17 credit hours per semester. In addition to school and training, he also meets with the Reserve once a month for a three-day weekend of training. He said being in the Army Reserve and being a student can sometimes create scheduling issues.
"The most stressful part of the military side is not knowing anything ahead of time," Gardner said. "Being a lower-enlisted soldier, I
have to be patient with my higher command because I don't know what's going on until they send me the information. When you're trying to plan stuff for school or for work, you really have to pay heed to what they want. If they decide to plan drill for a specific weekend or week and you have plans, those go right out the window. Orders aren't recommendations or suggestions. They're mandatory."
Gardner, who enlisted in the Army Reserve immediately after graduating high school in 2013, came to the University for the 2014 spring semester upon completing basic training.
"Being a soldier was something that he talked about doing since he was a little kid, so it came as no surprise," Gardner-Bland said. "At the time I was concerned because I didn't want him getting shipped off overseas without getting an education first. I knew he could do it though."

An average day for Gardner involves hitting the gym once or twice a day to train to compete for a third
Gardner'smother, Melissa Gardner-Bland said she never doubted he could handle being a student and soldier, but she had some concerns initially.
"I won my first and second competitions, and qualified for the competition right below the USARC (United States Army Reserve Command) competition," Gardner said. According to the Army and Army Reserve websites, soldiers and reservists compete in events like firing weapons, land navigation, the Army fitness test and surprise events meant to test each soldier's adaptability.
"If you win, you get 'Soldier of the Year,' which basically means you're in the best soldier in your division or component," Gardner said. "This in conjunction with school and work has been pretty stressful."
Despite the added stress and responsibilities that come along with being a student and soldier, Gardner said his military training has helped him through it all.
"Being in any branch of the armed forces, you learn time management skills," Gardner said. "You learn to get things done in a very short amount of time, which has really helped me."

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF: TASHITSO ANAMZA
BIOLOGY GRADUATE STUDENT FROM TIBET
"WHEN I FIRST CAME
HERE, IT WAS VERY
DIFFERENT."
-TASHITSO
ANAMZA
by Courtney Bierman @courtbierman
Kelcie Matousek // Kansan
Kelec Matousek // Kansan Tashitso Anamza, now a graduate student at KU, received an associate's degree from Qinghai Normal University in China and a bachelor's degree at KU in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology.
As the eldest child of a nomadic family in Tibet, Tashitso Anamza spent much of her youth helping her family herd yaks and other livestock for meat and dairy products.
Now, 25 years later, she can usually be found in the University's Natural History Museum or riding her bike on the Lawrence River Trails. This summer she will receive her Master's degree from the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology.
Since coming to the United States eight years ago, Anamza has immersed herself in her studies. When she's not assisting an introductory biology class or examining specimens in a lab, she's working on her master's thesis about the biodiversity of Philippine frogs.
After getting over the initial culture shock of being half a world away from home, Anamza says she quickly came to appreciate life as a college student in the United States.
"When I first came here, it was very different," she said. "I really like the libraries here — it's open, you have access to computers [...] it's not like this [where] I went to school. We never had computers. But now I'm kind of used to it."
Anamza grew up in
and his family.
the region of Amdo, the northernmost of Tibet's three regions and the birthplace of the current Dalai Lama. She left home to attend boarding school at a young age, but her family didn't have a car. Since the school was five hours away by horseback, she was only able to return home twice a year. In 2006, Anamza was hosting a group of Americans in her village who had traveled to Tibet to work on various NGO (Non-governmental-related) projects. One of those Americans was a donor who brought up the idea of studying in the United States.
University lecturer Deborah Peterson of the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures is involved with an NGO that does environmental and educational work in Tibet. When Peterson was assisting a project, which Anamza had proposed, to fund a library of a monastery in a nearby village, the two met.
Their friendship is one of the reasons Anamza chose the University over other American schools.
"I think the decision [to study in America] was kind of not only for me," she said. "It's a result of communal interaction."
Anarza had excelled in school and had already received an associate degree in language from Qinghai Normal University in China. She had also worked on and headed projects intended to improve the quality of life for people in her home region.
With an American education, she thought her efforts could become more effective.
After a lengthy application process, Anamza arrived in Lawrence in 2008 as an undergraduate thanks to the sponsorship from the American donor
"Tashitso's a remarkable person — extremely independent, brilliant but also she's a testimony to the value of educating women," Peterson said. "She single-handedly changes life for the better in this place where she's from as an example of the power of educating women."
Due to a lack of resources, very few Tibetans study biology abroad, and women in particular are underrepresented. Although she was able to take math, chemistry, Chinese and other basic courses in Tibet, Anamza said a biology class wasn't offered.
Money is also a contributing factor. In Tibet, where average per capita income is only about $5,000 per year, many families are simply unable to send their children to school.
"You don't really get much chance if you're born in this [nomadic] family," Anamza said. "They don't have a lot of money to send you abroad."
After finishing graduate school at the University, Anamza will start work on her Ph.D; she knows
she wants to teach eventually, possibly even back in Tibet. But Anamza stresses that she would not be where she is without outside financial support.
"For me, I really met very generous people. Without their support, I couldn't make it this far
because it's too expensive," she said. "I want to continue to do this kind of work and then get my Ph. D and then do research or teach to other people what I learned — basically, contribute back."

DAY IN THE LIFE
A DAY IN THE LIFE OF: CAITHE EXANDER
THE LIFE
Vicky Diaa-Camacho // Kansan
that they associate host with nanders
Vicky Date Cammeno 77 Rainbow Caithe Alexander, a sophomore from Shawnee, said recently they found that they associate best with pangender.
ADVOCATE & PANGENDER DRAG SHOW PERFORMER by Vicky Diaz-Camacho @viekyd_ c
Over the chorus of "Oh girls" and "Ohs" Caithe Alexander, and their friend Ray Lawrence, lay out dresses, makeup, heels, wigs and jewelry in preparation for one of the many drag shows the two participate in together. In an otherwise quiet Tuesday night in one of the University's scholarship halls, the two set up on opposite sides of the room, their makeup and clothes laid across the table.
"Welcome to our world." they said.
Alexander, a sophomore from Shawnee, has purple dye-dusted hair, almond-shaped eyes with colored contact lenses, a playful grin and a '90s-inspired look -- tattoo necklace and all. Alexander identifies as pangender and uses the pronouns they, them and their. They added that they are very spiritual and a romantic. They have been in dance, tap, the Renaissance festival as a fairy, does art and, most recently, drag shows.
While they said Danielle, their mom, has been supportive, they consider their family to also be made of friends.
“[They are] my family in the definition of the word. I found them at the perfect time,” they said. “We've shared our
deep pasts."
Lawrence, a sophomore from Kansas City, Kan., and Alexander started performing in drag shows in Lawrence last semester.
"Caithe and I are so different; I'd like to say we balance each other out," Lawrence said.
However, Alexander is still searching for other pieces to their identity, they said. Alexander briefly mentioned the sperm donor their mother used. Their mother is white, yet they consider themselves biracial because the sperm donor is Native American.
They said they want to find and explore their cultural roots.
Casey is a special education teacher at Hazel Grove Elementary. He said he always had the means to help others, and that's why he signed up for Big Brothers Big Sisters. He first met Alexander when they were 7 years old. Per their mother's request, Casey was paired with Alexander because Danielle had requested that the "big brother" be a gay man.
"When I first saw Caithe, he know, [in 2009] I could tell they were struggling with their identity from the very beginning," said Barry Casey, Alexander's "big brother" from the Big Brothers Big Sisters program in Kansas City, Kan.
"No other family wanted him because he was gay but we clicked," Alexander said.
"We're just like family," Casev said.
He said he saw Alexander grow up and mentioned that he witnessed the process Alexander went through in finding themselves, from child to young adult.
When Alexander was a toddler they asked for their first Barbie. They would also paint their nails, wear dresses and preferred the color pink. They were diagnosed with childhood gender nonconformity and gender dysphoria when Alexander was in the fourth grade.
"When you go through your stages as a teenager, you tend to find out where you are in the world and where your place is in the world," Casey said. "So [Caithe was] kind of like trying to figure out through all that stuff."
Doctors became interested in Alexander's gender dysphoria and how they compared to Jared, their fraternal twin brother, in development. This put the twins on the radar for a "60 Minutes" spot about nature versus nurture on being gay or straight.
During the interview, both children were asked: "If you were going to tell a stranger what you were like, what would you sav?"
Doctors determined that Alexander was the product of nature and Alexander agrees, according to the "60 Minutes" report, which Alexander confirmed.
"Middle school was the worst for bullying." Alexander said. "I would try to self-mutilate myself because people would point out, 'You have a pen.' And I'd be like, 'That doesn't make sense.'"
Nine-year-old Alexander, with painted nails, answered: "I would say, like a girl."
In eighth grade they came out as bisexual. At the end of their freshman year of high school they came out as gay.
Casey said he also witnessed a turning point in Alexander's life: "I remember when we went to Chicago and we went to Pride and that was when Caithe was like, oh, 16 or 17 or something like that. And just seeing [...] people: gay, trans, bi, whatever — just like being happy," Casey said. "[People] being together, proud of themselves, showing their pride, seeing the parade, seeing everybody else proud of themselves — that really helped Caithe."
In the past couple semesters, they have become known for their
push for more LGBTQ+ support on campus and in dorms and, most recently, an open panel discussion of what it means to be transgender on campus.
Alexander is the current vice president of Spectrum KU and is starting a new group called the Gender Euphoria League. GEL will be effective next semester, they said.
"I think that since Caithe has been through a lot [and gained] knowledge they can [use to] support others with those kinds of needs," Casey said. "I'm just more and more proud of them every year. It's exciting."

-BRIAN RUSSELL
STOP MOANING,
START OWNING
A LECTURER WHO DOES IT ALL by Ryan Wright @ryanwaynewright
Brian Russell teaches a lecture class at the University, in addition to being an author, app developer, director, lawyer and more...
Baxter Schanze // Kansan
or lawyer and more
In the early 2000s, Brian Russell was visiting Lima, Peru, at the time the country was in political turmoil. Russell said the country was on the brink of a civil war due to its controversial president at the time, Alberto Fujimori, which led to bombings in the urban area. To get away from the violence, Russell traveled to a remote village in the Andes Mountains, a few hours away from Lima.
When Russell arrived, he saw people living in small huts made out of wood and corrugated metal with dirt floors.
However, the thing that surprised him was the people were genuinely happy, despite not having much.
Russell, a lecturer in the School of Business, has traveled to over 35 countries, many of them developing nations, and said people in those other countries tend to be more grateful for what they have.
"They've got nothing compared to what most Americans have and yet they are appreciative of the fact that they're not hungry, they're not sick [and] they've got family there," Russell said.
Baxter Schanze // Kansan Brian Russell's dog, Ruger, has visited his class at KU several times.
"They're not embroiled in the chaos in the political society just a couple hours down the mountain from them."
However, back home in the United States, Russell said he's noticed a trend of entitlement throughout the country. That sentiment led to him writing a book titled "Stop Moaning, Start Owning: How Entitlement is Ruining America and How Personal Responsibility Can Fix It," which was published in October of 2015.
"I think our society has become, certainly with many exceptions, too narcissistic. People are thinking not enough about things larger than themselves and too much about themselves," Russell said. "And when people think that way, it makes it easy for them to develop an attitude of entitlement where they feel that they are owed things by others."
For Russell, entitlement is something that has permeated throughout all of society, including the government.
“[Entitlement is] messing up kids, marriages, businesses, communities, and — by extension — the country.” Russell said. “Our [the United States] debt's out of control because people feel entitled as individuals and also as the nation to be living beyond our means.”
Beyond lecturing and authoring his book, Russell, a University graduate, has his hands in several different fields. He's an attorney, a psychologist and has appeared as an analyst on television shows such as "The O'Reilly Factor" and "Nancy Grace." He also co-hosts "Fatal Vows" with fellow psychologist Stacy Kaiser which airs on Investigation Discovery.
His work in television also helps in the classroom, said James Guthrie, associate dean of
academic affairs in the School of Business.
“[Russell] teaches big lectures and it certainly helps to have stage presence [...] with classes like those.” Guthrie said.
Russell said he decided to venture into so many different fields because he wanted to have an impact on a larger amount of people.
"I think you should try to figure out what is the contribution that you can make to something larger," Russell said. "Something that you can do uniquely well that is good for the world."
His desire to help the world led to the development of his app, "Check On Me," which launched two weeks ago. The app allows people to quickly check on the safety of loved ones.
The initial inspiration for "Check On Me" came from Russell's work covering crime cases as an analyst on the news and on his show "Fatal Vows."
He said he saw many cases about people that would go missing but could have been saved if someone would have checked on them earlier than they did. When he couldn't find an app that did that simple task, he made his own.
Whether it be developing an app or appearing on television, whatever Russell does, his ultimate goal is to simply help people.
"I'm not Ben Carson, but as a health care professional I've gotten to see how I can help people in that way," Russell said. "And I'm not Ted Cruz, but as an attorney I've gotten to see how I can help people in that way. I'm not Bill O'Reilly, but I've gotten see what it's like to have a successful television show and try to help people in that way."

Year by the AP
SCOTT CHASEN @SChasenKU
On Thursday, Kansas coach Bill Self was named National Coach of the Year by the AP, according to a KU Athletics release. Right now, Self is in Houston, where the Final Four is taking place, to accept the award.
According to the AP release, Self is the first Kansas coach to win the distinction twice while at the University. The only other Kansas coach to win the award was Roy Williams in 1992.
Self coached the Jayhawks to a 33-5 record in the 2015-16 season, falling in the Elite Eight. The team earned the No.1 overall seed in the 2016 NCAA tournament, following a season in which it won the Big 12 regular season title and tournament.
This year, Self received 21 of a possible 65 votes. Xavier's Chris Mack came in second with 15 votes; Oregon's Dana Altman received 13, according to the release.
Kansas also won the Maui Jim Maui Invitational earlier in the year. On January 30, the team picked up a win in the Big 12/SEC Challenge against Kentucky.
This is the second time Self has won the award from the AP. He racked up National Coach of the Year honors from the outlet in 2009.
USA Today, Bleacher Report and the NABC have also named Self as National Coach of the Year for this season.

The University hosted the KU Powwow & Indigenous Dance and Culture Festival April 2, inviting hundreds to the free event including tribes from all over the country to join in the cultural festivities.

Guests were greeted outside the Lied Center by an
Inside the Lied Center, crowds clamored around dozens of booths to see the handmade crafts and to learn about the cultures represented. One student, Sherrie Marlond from Tama, Iowa studying business, said the powwow was a great way for other natives to learn about the different traditions as well as for non-natives to see a living people in action.
"You'd be surprised how many non-natives have
never even seen a Native American before and who think that we're no longer a real people and buy into the negative stereotypes," Marlond said. "This is a great and fun way to see our cultures and to recognize our traditions."
Marlond said that she was happy with how the
powwow turned out, and that she was glad that her University could be involved.
"It really shows how the University cares," Marlond said. "We are greatly underrepresented and this is a way for the University to be

Professor of Slavic studies wins grant to teach course on ethics
TANNER HASSELL @thassell17
Ani Kokobobo, a professor of Slavic studies, received a grant for $20,000 from National Endowment for the Humanities.
This grant will fund research for a new course on ethics and community in 19th century Russian literature.
Kokobobo, who serves as the director of graduate studies for the Slavic Department, said she applied for the grant last summer through the Hall Center for the Humanities.
"I applied last September, and had not heard anything for some time," Kokobobo said. "Then two weeks ago I received an email saying that I had received the grant."
Kokobobo said the grant, part of the NEH program, Enduring
Questions, will enable her to study philosophical and ethics works through the summer in preparation to teach the course.
According to the NEH website, the program supports the development and teaching of courses that answer an enduring question related to concerns of humanity. Some of the questions include: "Can war be just?" "What is evil?" and "What is friendship?"
Kokobobo said the prompt she chose was: "Am I my brothers' keeper?"
"I proposed that we teach a course using 19th century Russian literature and philosophical works to talk about community and the moral and ethical responsibilities that people have toward one another," Kokobobo said. "Then towards the end of the course we'd talk about community in 21st
century America and how issues like race affect community."
We think that there's a lot of room to discuss ethics in the context of Russian literature, "

"Part of the requirement for the course is for students to help out at a soup kitchen for a couple hours," Kokobobo said.
Kokobobo also said the course will feature planned activities, as well as a service component.

Stephen Dickey, chair of the Slavic Department, said the department is excited about the course and hopes philosophy students, as well as Slavic studies students, will take interest.
Kokobobo said she hopes to have the course fulfill an ethics and
"We think that there's a lot of room to discuss ethics in the context of Russian literature," Dickey said. "I think it shows the importance of studying these works outside of just entertainment."
Kokobobo said the course should be available for the 2017-18 school year.
