Aerospace engineering enrollment rates continue to increase at the University

More students are taking an interest in aerospace engineering than in the past, according to University enrollment rates provided by the Department of Aerospace Engineering.
Last spring marked the eighth consecutive year that University's engineering school saw an increase in graduates. Enrollment at the school has been trending
upward over the past couple of years, according to enrollment records.
Just this fall, the Department of Aerospace Engineering saw the highest freshman enrollment within the last eight years. According to the enrollment records, 74 new students have decided to study aerospace engineering this fall, compared to 51 students in 2015 - a 45 percent increase. Zhi Jian Wang, chair of the aerospace engineering department, said the increase is influenced by the strong presence of the aircraft industry in Kansas.
University administrators say the trend is due to increased recruitment efforts across the state and improved facilities.
Aerospace engineering department chairs say that one factor of the increase is the addition of LEEP 2, a brand new lab for the College of Engineering that
opened in the fall of 2015.
Several students visited
LEEP 2 on campus visits last
year, right after it opened.
"Aerospace engineering at KU is the best in the College of Engineering," Wang said. "The reputation of our department is helping recruit students."
Antonio Schoneich, a senior from Lawrence, said he chose aerospace engineering because of the University's excellent program.

Ashley Hocking/KANSAN Banners hang in support of Black Lives Matter at the ECM.
During the second week of classes, students were greeted by new signs hanging at the Ecumenical Campus Ministries (ECM) building located at 1204 Oreat Ave. One banner reads "Black Lives Matter," and includes a list of supporting organizations.
The ministry is one of few organizations on campus to openly express support for the national movement, which has gained attention and popularity since the shooting of black teen Michael Brown in 2014.
The banners were unfurled at a dedication ceremony Sunday, which was attended by almost 100 people from around Lawrence and members of supporting churches.
ago, adding them to the front of the building has been a year-long process, Chairman of the ECM Board Loring Henderson said.
Although the banners were unfurled just four days
"We've been planning this for a while but it just required a lot of planning. Congregations had to decide whether they wanted to be on the banner or not," Henderson said.
The following 10 congregations supported the movement and had their names included on the banner: Ecumenical Campus Ministries, First Presbyterian Church, Islamic Center of Lawrence, Lawrence Jewish Community Congregation, Oread Friends Meeting, Peace Mennonite Church, Plymouth Congregational Church, St. Luke A.M.E. Church, Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Lawrence and Unity of Lawrence.
Although several congregations allowed their names
"This banner has not been wholeheartedly supported. There are some churches that aren't on it that have been our sponsors in the past. They're just very uncomfortable with Black Lives Matter," Henderson said.
As of this fall, the ECM has been on campus for 111 years. Hendersond said providing a voice and being a place for positive discussion

was the purpose then and now.
"Putting the banners on the ECM building was totally appropriate. That's what we're about — advocating for minorities, women's rights, African-Americans, the whole thing," he said.
Not many groups on campus have explicitly promoted the Black Lives Matter movement at the University. How-

The Kansas Union Ballroom was packed to the brim Tuesday night for the annual Women of Distinction 2016-17 Calendar reception.
The Women of Distinction reception is an annual event that honors remarkable University women. A nomination must be made for a student, staff member or alumni to be considered for the honor.
Kathy Rose-Mockry, the director of The Emily Taylor Center for Women & Gender Equity, took the stage and announced the background of the event.
The KU Women of Distinction was founded in 2003, when students expressed that they wanted women to be seen for their accomplishments and character, rather than their physical attributes.
"I couldn't have agreed more, and as a result, we now have formed the KU Women of Distinction Calendar," Rose-Mockry said.
Leaders of the community
Following the introduction to the event, Rose-Mockry announced that Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little would speak to the women briefly. The Chancellor explained that she was pleased to be there.
"As I look around this room, I'm also excited, and optimistic to see so many women who are doing great things for our University and for the broader community," Gray-Little said.
The Chancellor spoke
of the qualities she believes a leader should have. She emphasized her belief that anyone can lead by example, and that titles aren't necessary.
"I want to congratulate today's honorees, and honorees of the past, who are leaders," Gray-Little said.
The final portion of the event was the recognition of the new recipients. Each woman was called onto the stage, while a former inductee highlighted the woman's accomplishments, and presented them with a certificate and a handshake.
Rose-Mockry closed the reception by stating that she hopes everyone is filled with as much hope as she is, but that there is still much work to be done, and that she is thankful for everyone's support.
"This would not happen if all of you in the room were not supporting the women who are being recognized today, and those who have been recognized in the past," Rose-Mockry said.
Honorees include: Annie McKay, Saralyn Reece Hardy, Jyleesa Renee Tate Hampton, Abby Hall, Shegufta Huma, Jessica van Loben Sels, 2nd Lt. Rhavean Anderson, Marilyn Mulligan Ault, Jana Craig-Hare, Amber Rowland, Elizabeth Kozleski, Joy Ward, Mary Kate Dennis, Sharon Toulouse, Melody Stratton, Ashle Koehn, Claire Carson MacLachlan, Hebron Kelecha, Tiffany Fisher, Rachel Bowes, Teale Muir, Lauren Arney and Nanyi Deng.

nation, which is because of the products that KU aerospace gives to its students," Schöneich said. "In other colleges, students focus a lot on the technical aspects of aerospace - KU focuses a lot on design and innovation."
Members of the College of Engineering have recently been giving presentations in schools around the Kansas City area, Wang said. They have also collaborated with Cosmosphere, located in Hutchinson, to create a video to show prospective students.
Wang said another reason that the number of students has increased could be due to efforts by the faculty to attract high school and elementary school students to the field.
"In the state of Kansas, there is an urgent need for more aerospace engineers,"
Wang says that students from the University's aerospace department have gone on to work for these companies.
Wichita is home to several aerospace companies. Texttron, Cessna, Hawker Beechcraft, Spirit Aerosystems, Omni Aerospace, and many more have earned the city the nickname "Air Capital of the World."
KANSAN.COM/NEWS | THURSDAY, SEPT. 1, 2016
Wang said.
In 2011, the state of Kansas signed The University Engineering Initiative Act (UEIA). The act's primary goal is to increase engineering graduates in the state by 60 percent by 2021 comparing to the number of graduates in 2008.
"Aerospace engineering is the biggest exporter in U.S. goods," Wang said. "We definitely need to continue to make developments in aerospace engineering."
The University has already seen a 56 percent increase in students studying engineering, with 400 students in the graduating class of 2015 compared to 255 in the graduating class of 2008. The school hopes to reach 419 for the state of Kansas by 2021.
"The goal was to see more enrolled students, more faculty and more graduates," Wang said.
In the state of Kansas, there is an urgent need for more aerospace engineers."
Zhi Jian Wang Chairman of the aerospace engineering department
The UEIA appropriated $1 million in funding to each of the flagship schools for the state of Kansas (Kansas, Kansas State and Wichita State) for the 2012 fiscal year. In 2013, that number increased to $3.5 million per school, per year, until 2023, giving the program a total of $105 million in state funding.
That funding has gone to create new facilities, such as LEEP 2. Wang said the department is also in the process of creating a water tunnel for students to study fluid dynamics, as well as upgrades to the University's wind tunnel and proportional lab. Those are on track to be completed by this fall.
Wang said the UEIA is part of a nationwide effort to get more students involved in engineering.
"There has been a national approach to recruit more S.T.E.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) students at all levels," Wang said.
Ray Taghavi, associate chairman for the Department of Aerospace Engineering, said that students are getting interested because of recent NASA activity, such as work on the Orion spacecraft, which is designed to take humans to Mars in the future.
"A lot of excitement has been generated in high schools because of this futuristic Mars program that NASA has started," Taghavi said. "Hopefully that will continue."
Taghavi believes that once these students graduate, the field of science will see a team effort in discoveries regarding space.
"The effect on field science is clear," Taghavi said. "Once the exploration of space continues, then you have a lot of people studying geology and medicine. Those scientists are needed to work together with engineers."

ever, as director of ECM Kim Brook explained, that is the job of an Ecumenical Ministry.
"We are an Ecumenical Ministry, which is very interfaith binding, where we're not just specifically one division. We don't fit into one
small box," Brook said.
Brook and Henderson said that students exploring different aspects of faith is one of the most important things to the Ecumenical Campus Ministries.
Former campus minister Thad Holcombe described why lack of representation is still a valid concern at the
University, particular within student government.
"In the past and now, the reality of Student Senate is that it doesn't represent all people," Holcombe said.
"Many racist things occurred on the street right outside the ECM over 100 years ago and now," Holcombe said.
Henderson says the signs will remain where they are for a few months and then possibly be moved to a new location downtown where neweyes can see them.
Henderson said that for
now the focus is for students to see them and be inspired to take part in issues of racial justice.
"We support Black Lives Matter. What's their goal? Well, that's our goal," Henderson said.

SLLC celebrates with second convocation
▶ DARBY VANHOUTAN
@darbyvanhoutan
A convocation will take place on Thursday, Sept. 1, to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the KU School of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures (SLLC).
@darbyvanhoutan
First established in 2014, the school is somewhat new. However, the majors and classes existed long before.
"The school is a structure added on to everything," said Professor Marc Greenberg, the school's director. "It was a year long process that took several meetings between students and staff to dictate how the school itself would run."
Despite 40 languages being taught and over 60 degrees and concentrations, the actual number of students in SLLC is a few hundred, Greenberg said. However, almost every student at the university is involved in SLCC by taking language classes required for a
separate major.
This year's convocation is the second for the SLLC, with the first one kicking off the school in 2015.
"We'll discuss opportunities on the horizon, our achievements for the first year, and give examples of some eminent guests that have worked bilingually and what it means for people's careers," Greenberg said.
Along with an account of the school's success and future will be two keynote speakers. University alumni Jowel Laguerre, chancellor of Peralta Community College in Northern California, will discuss his background as a native Haitian speaker as well as how being bilingual in Haitian and English brought him success.
Laguerre will also discuss the relaunch of the SLLC's new classes on Haitian studies.
"Laguerre ties into the relaunch of the Haitian Studies program at KU," said Christian Beer, who does media outreach for the school. "He was instrumental in creating the first Haitian studies program we used to have at KU."

Graduate student unions struggling to survive
▶ CHANDLER BOESE @Chandler_Boese
R right now at private colleges across the country, graduate students
PRESIDENT
are forming unions to represent themselves for the first time in decades.
Graduate teaching assistant David Cooper teaches a sociology class in Fraser Hall.
At the University, these unions already exist - but they're in danger of going extinct.
Last week, the National Labor Relations Board ruled that graduate students at private institutions are employees and therefore have a right to bargain collectively, or form unions. Some schools like Yale University are already forming those unions.
However, at the University, graduate student organizations have struggled to find enough participation to take advantage of their rights to unionize.
Amy Schumacher, director of graduate affairs for Student Senate, said low interest caused the Graduate Teaching Assistants Coalition (GTAC), the University's chapter that reports to the union, to go defunct for a few years. Now it's up and running again, but Schumacher said the issue of low graduate participation is still prevalent.
"A lot of graduate students are older or have family or are really focused on their studies," she said. "It's hard for those graduate students to prioritize those kinds of extracurricular involvement."
Acting GTAC president David Cooper said GTAs in particular have a hard time getting and maintaining consistent membership in the
organization because a student might be teaching one semester, but not the next.
Ashley Hocking/KANSAN
"It's difficult to have a durable membership, it involves a lot of ground work," he said. "If there's not an active core of membership, it's tough for the organization to keep going."
Today, the union, the American Federation of Teachers — Kansas, is tasked with representing graduate students and their role as graduate teaching assistants. That means negotiating a contract every two years with the Kansas Board of Regents and the University, Schumacher said.
Last May, GTAC worked with AFT-Kansas to negotiate a new contract for GTA's at the University. The organization was able to get a $1,500 raise for returning doctoral students and a decrease in the number of required credits for those at the end of their programs.
"The agreement shows that administration and the Board of Regents can work with graduate students to make things better," Schumacher said.
Schumacher said she believes that the University's administration understands the "critical function" graduate students have in day-to-day operations and shows an eagerness to help its graduate students with their academic responsibilities.
"At KU, there is a strong relationship between our master's and doctoral programs and the success of our research and scholarship," said Erinn Barcomb-Peterson, director of news and media relations. "Many of
our graduate students, as they pursue their degrees, work alongside faculty in teaching and research. It's important that we support them in those roles."

belief in the University's support, she said there are still a number of issues that she would like to see addressed, either through Student Senate or the union.
Despite Schumacher's
Increased printing credit for graduate students to print academic work has been discussed in Senate for a long time, as has the role of student evaluations in GTA's review. Schumacher said getting more graduate students involved in these conversations would help them move forward.
Though she just started in her position last month, Schumacher said she would like to get more graduates involved in Student Senate.
on the Graduate Student Advisory Board — which has also been neglected in recent years — and in the union.
Even outside of the union, graduate students have seen and still see representative issues. Schumacher said that graduates are allocated a certain number of seats in Student Senate, but all of them are rarely filled. Once, there was a separate senate for graduates, but lack of participation forced it to merge with the undergraduate-dominated Student Senate.
"I think graduate students need to use their voice more," Schumacher said.
students the opportunity to do so through the organization. He said GTAC is planning to push recruiting this year, so they can better negotiate and represent the University's GTAs.
Cooper said GTAC is trying to give more graduate
Cooper said recruiting will not only help strengthen the union's force in negotiating with the University and Board of Regents, but will also help the union better represent the University's diverse group of graduate students.
GTAC will have their first meeting of the year Thursday at 7 p.m. at the Ecumenical Campus Ministries.

Munoz: The University needs to take measures to make textbooks affordable
▶ VINCE MUNOZ
@vmunoz_18
The National Association of College Stores estimates
There are many things that I'll miss about syllabus week, but paying for textbooks isn't one of them.
that students spend approximately $323 per semester on such material. Like many students, I cringe at the realization that a single book can be worth multiple shifts at my summer job. The University's apathy towards the issue isn't encouraging.
Several of my courses do not require books but instead rely on the libraries' periodical database. Assigned articles are noted in the course's syllabus. Students then can download and read them when necessary. Moreover, others put together course
That's not to say that some professors and departments aren't trying.
packets under the fair use guidelines for copyright materials. These packets can be substantially cheaper than buying a whole book and can include writings from multiple authors.
Still, the University can do more. After all, some courses cannot get around textbook usage. Other Kansas Board of Regents schools have developed solutions that can be implemented here in Lawrence. For example, Kansas State developed an open textbook program that allows professors to write their own textbooks to distribute to their students.
It works like this: Professors write proposals that outline what they envision for their students. This could be a traditional textbook that could be posted as a PDF file on Blackboard or readings combined with multimedia content. The proposal would go to a committee of faculty members that debate its merit and prioritize which projects to fund. Faculty members at Kansas State drove this initiative but Student Senate could also propose a version tailored to our own institution's unique needs.
Attending college is expensive enough. By creating an open textbook program,
the University could financially help students and give instructors more control over their courses.
This, in conjunction with the other innovative methods of reducing textbook costs would send a clear message to students that the University is interested in making education feasible for all Jayhawks, not just those who can afford it.
Lightly Salted: Admussen unqualified for this
Vince Munoz is a junior from Topeka studying political science and strategic communications
Edited by Missy Minear
This is the first article of "Lightly Salted," a new series of Will Admussen's satirical musings on life, current events, and nothing in particular
▶ WILL ADMUSSEN
@wadmussen
Princeton Review consistently ranks the University Daily Kansan as one of the top collegiate newspapers in the country. Because of this, you might think that its opinion columnists are the best in the country. You might think that each columnist goes through a rigorous selection process, is deeply intellectual, and, most importantly, equipped to start the discourse necessary to bring the student body together to solve important problems. Well, you're wrong.
First, Will Admussen has no journalism background. The only time he
has ever set foot in the Kansas newsroom was for an interview on KUJH, during which he referred to the host, Eric Pahls, as "Rick" for the entirety of a 15-minute interview. He was not invited back.
Admussen's track record with reporters isn't stellar either. He has been known to respond with pictures of lizards (specifically Anolis carolinensis) when prompted for a quote, and his preferred method of communication is Snapchat or MySpace picture sharing service.
Surely Admussen has some redeeming quality that makes his opinion valuable to the readers of the nationally esteemed University Daily Kansan. Maybe he knows what's happening on the sidewalks of Jayhawk Boulevard more than others? Quite the contrary: he'll be in England this semester studying
abroad, or, as he calls it, on a "journey of self discovery."
Maybe Admussen is well-liked on campus? Maybe his opinion on issues is well-regarded? Not exactly.
Surely Admussen has some redeeming quality that makes his opinion valuable."
Sure, Admussen has campaign experience from his time in Student Senate, but his rise to power isn't exactly what you would call popular. Ask anyone in the Jayhawkers coalition just how popular Admussen is. In a four-hour interview, Admussen's roommate
said that Admussen spends most days in his room listening to Chingy.
Despite all this, you might be thinking it's possible that Admussen has a particular expertise, a niche. Maybe Admussen is able to write about music? Clearly not (see above paragraph regarding Admussen's interest in Chingy). Maybe Admussen is a foodie? In the same four-hour interview, Admessen's roommate described Admussen's irrational fear of the oven, stating Admussen maintained a diet of pudding, beef jerky and black coffee.
How Admussen slipped through the cracks of the Kansan's vetting process still puzzles this author. Does Admussen even understand what an opinion columnist does? Is Admussen so self-absorbed that he is unable to write upon any subject but himself?
It seems that narcissist is more aprapos than columnist.
But, when you think about it, are any college students really qualified to express an opinion? Are any of us really experts in anything? Who even defines "qualified," anyway? Maybe Admussen's wholly unqualified nature speaks to the need for discourse with troubled people like him.
Hopefully with this discourse, people like Admussen can stop thinking about themselves and start thinking about the problems, which can only be solved through uniting together, both narcissist and experts alike.
Will Admussen is a senior from Urbandale, Iowa, studying economics and political science.

Artist Maggie Keenan discusses the artists that have inspired her, including her mother. Keenan spent last semester working on a six-foot self-portrait.
Art in Focus: Maggie Keenan, painter
▶ OMAR SANCHEZ

on the second floor of a colonial-style Kansas City, Kan. home, a towering figure above the end of a staircase stares down at all who pass it.
It is a six-foot depiction of a young woman, situated atop a coffee-colored living room chair.
Maggie Keenan, a junior studying visual arts and English, imagined, constructed and painted this figure: a six by four-foot self-portrait made with Windsor Newton oil paint.
"Just the idea of rendering one's self," Keenan said. "When you spend a whole semester looking at yourself, it just makes you think about what your emotions are and why you have that expression."
The self-portrait was part of a semester-long class project Keenan had last spring, requiring approximately 120 hours of intricate attention to detail.
"[It was like] doing your friend's makeup at night," she said. "Like blush, mascara, eyeliner, I was adding that to a painting. It became very personal to me and it was like my own little
prize."
The self-portrait which she likens to having a dress-up doll to play with now hangs in her family home. It is an accomplishment her family, composed of her parents and three older brothers, are proud of.
"I love seeing what projects she is working on from her different classes," Lori, Maggie's mother and 1983 University alumna, said. "I enjoy having her ask my opinion on her paintings and also when she gives me advice on mine."
When you
spend a whole semester looking at yourself, it just makes you think about what your emotions are and why you have that expression."
As a visual artist herself, Lori describes Maggie's interest in the arts as part nature, part nurture. Painting, specifically, is a passion that Maggie's paternal great-grandmother took a
Maggie Keenan Visual arts student
part in as well.
While artistry has been a part of Maggie's life since birth, visual arts as a focus and potential career did not come to her until high school.
At Notre Dame de Sion, all-girls high school in Kansas City, Mo., she had the option to take a "Fundamentals of Drawing" class her freshman year. She knew she could do better, so she expressed her desire to take the portfolio class — a sophomore level art course — as a freshman.
After reviewing sketches she drew in her free time, the school agreed to move her up.
Quickly, Keenan's ability and vision made her stick out. She said that she was contracted during her summers in high school to draw and paint pieces based on personal photos — especially, pets — by those who had heard of her name and work. Before her senior year, she had already completed the highest level of art class the school offered.
So, what was there left to do for Sion but create a whole new course for her?
"Poor Mrs. Blasdel,"
Keenan said about the art
teacher who created a new
class based on her fast
track, which she took her senior year. The class, advanced placement drawing, is still offered at the school Keenan said.
Linda Blasdel is still a visual arts teacher for the school. Today, she remembers Keenan's time at Sion fondly. She said having someone of Keenan's caliber was an enjoyable experience and considers her a friend to this day.
"What I have seen in Maggie is a passion for art-making and a growth mindset where she knows the more she works the better she gets," Blasdel said. "She was a delightful student and the student every art teacher hopes to have in class."
After high school, Keenan has used her experiences as an artist to thematically focus on painting people.
"I'm so captivated with other people's lives," she said. "Like at an airport. You see people greeting each other at their gates, and you just kind of wonder what their backstories are."
At airports, coffee shops and even in the classroom, Keenan is known to spontaneously take out a sketchbook and attempt to tell a story of a person's mental
and emotional state with a quick drawing. For her, it's an exploration that fascinates her and is something she wants to do for future projects.
Now, after her first two years at the University, Keenan's art has already taken her to a spring workshop in London — where she met one of her inspirations, figurative painter Ann Gale — and a summer workshop in Civita, Italy in 2015, to name a few. This summer, she taught 7-to-12-year-olds the basics of ceramic art at the Belger Arts Center in Kansas City, Mo.
But, if you asked Keenan to pick the highlight of her summer, it would be coming back to her family home after finals.
"Where's the painting?"
Keenan asked her mother.
"Go upstairs," her mother responded.
And there, above the end of the staircase on the second floor, hung Keenan's self-portrait.
"Every time someone goes upstairs in our house now I have to warn them, there is a person up there, don't be frightened," Keenan said. "It's just a painting."

"Weediquette" explores controversial Kansas laws
> JARRET ROGERS
RYAN WRIGHT
@larrerRogers
@ryanwaynewright
A
Kansas, a state with strict laws forbidding marijuana possession and usage, is the latest topic on Viceland's show, "Weediquette" which returns for its second season tonight. The first episode of the second season, titled "Stoned Parents" features two Kansas women whose children were removed from their care because the Kansas Department for Children and Families found marijuana or drug paraphernalia in their homes.
Illustration by Jacob Benson
"Weediquette" host Krishna Andavolu traveled to Hays and Garden City to talk with the mothers and to further investigate marijuana policies in the state. Andavolu said Kansas' unique location made the state an interesting place to shoot the episode.
"I think the proximity to Colorado offers a very intriguing kind of microscopic view of how there's two worlds in this country when it comes to marijuana and marijuana law and, in this case, how they affect families," Andavolu said.
Andavolu and his team spent a brief amount of time in Colorado, a state where marijuana use is legal, to see what life is like for parents who use the drug. Afterwards, they jumped the border and spoke with Jasmine Klaer and Shona Banda who lost their children after law enforcement found drug paraphernalia in their homes.
According to the episode, when she moved her family into a house with multiple
tenants, Klaer discovered meth was being cooked and sold there. Klaer said she kicked everyone out in order to protect her family. However, Klaer's children were removed from her custody after authorities raided the home, unaware that the meth dealers were no longer present, and found two bongs. Klaer claims that she has never smoked marijuana.
Banda is a former Colorado resident who moved to Kansas to receive family support after being diagnosed with Crohn's disease. The show says her son spoke up in a class discussion about marijuana and said his mother, who uses the drug as treatment for Crohn's disease, refers to weed as cannabis. Her son was then pulled out of class and questioned by school administration. Soon after,
the show says, the police were in Banda's front yard to search the house and take her child away.
Generally speaking, if you're rich, the state isn't inquiring into the ongoings of your household"
Krishna Andavolu
Weediquette host
Jennifer Winn, a former candidate for governor and advocate for medicinal marjuana, is interviewed in the episode by Andavolu. Winn said she was excited when Vice contacted her because the show would shed light
on the issue.
"When the people from Vice and 'Weediquette' contacted me, I was ecstatic because it means we're going to get a lot of exposure on what's happening," Winn said.
In addition to telling Klaer's and Banda's stories, the documentary also touches on the idea of privilege.
"Generally speaking, if you're rich, the state isn't inquiring into the ongoing of your household," Andavolu said. "If you're poor, it's more likely you'll come in contact with social services, come in contact with the police, more likely you'll come in contact with situations where your marijuana use might be deemed inappropriate. Equal protection under the law is a concept that this country has at it's core, however, in practice
that's not the case."
Both Klaer and Banda are single parents in low-income households. Winn said she believes low-income people are being preyed upon by governmental agencies.
"You will not find the elite in juvenile court fighting for their kids, ever," Winn said. "Because there is a privilege and it's a monetary privilege [...] They are absolutely vulnerable to our state and the government agencies that are taking children away from them."
The Kansas Department for Children and Families is at the center of this issue. The organization is in charge of deciding whether a residence is safe enough to house children.
"It's a punitive measure, not a helpful measure," Andavolu said. "Not a governmental organization that is
offering services, but offering punishment."
Andavolu reached out to DCF for an interview but was declined. However, it sent an official response that said "DCF does not recommend the removal of children from their homes solely based on marijuana use." However, Andavolu managed to speak with a former DCF employee who said parents who are suspected of smoking marijuana should "get the hell away from Kansas."
"I was surprised," Andavolu said. "Very surprised. We went in there with a skepticism. 'Is there really a money motive? Is there really a rotating door of children going in and out of foster homes?' When we were able to get in touch with the former DCF employee we didn't necessarily know what she was going to say. So, yeah, it surprised me that it was as stark as the activist said it was. It seemed like things were worse than I thought they were."
Andavolu said he thinks the problem of overabundance in foster homes due to such restrictive laws is nowhere close to being fixed.
"The government in power doesn't seem to think that this is a problem, that this is a good way of functioning," Andavolu said. "So, that's almost a more troubling circumstance, when there isn't even an assessment of the effects and unintended consequences of their beliefs."
"Weediquette" airs Wednesdays at 10 p.m. on Viceland.

'Hamilton' sing-along at the Lawrence Arts Center
▶ COURTNEY BIERMAN
@courtbierman
The Lawrence Arts Center will host a "Hamilton" sing-along event this Friday. Guests are invited to dress up in Revolutionary costume and join other "Ham fans" for a karaoke-style party. Donations will be accepted, but the event is free and open to the public. In addition to a cash bar, The Sandbar will be on site to serve "Hammy" ham sandwiches.
Actor and composer Lin-Manuel Miranda debuted the musical "Hamilton" in January of 2015. It
immediately drew attention for its hip-hop inspired storytelling and multiracial cast. The show follows the life of American founding father Alexander Hamilton from the eve of the Revolutionary War to his death at the hands of Aaron Burr during a duel in 1795.
"It's very amazing that it teaches as much as it does, and yet it's still a really valid piece of theater," Ric Averill, artistic director of performing arts at the Lawrence Arts Center, said. "It really has a beautiful through-line and arc and everything, but it's a
Since it premiered on Broadway last August, "Hamilton" has earned an estimated $61.7 million through last April, according to Business Insider. Miranda has garnered a MacArthur Genius Grant, Pulitzer Prize, and three Tony Awards for the show's music and writing. It is reportedly sold out until next January.

way there.
"It's just really drawn me in ever since I first listened to the cast recording," he said. "I just think it's a really great musical."
The Hamilton Singalong will be this Friday, Sept. 2 from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. at the Lawrence Arts Center, located at 940 New Hampshire St. For more information, visit lawrenceartscenter.org.

Vince Staples performs at The Midland in Kansas City, Mo. as part of Middle of the Map Fest. Christian Hardy/KANSAN
▶ JARRET ROGERS
@JarretRogers
Christian Hardy/KANSAN Map Fest.
On his debut record, "Summertime'o6," Vince Staples thrived in moments that made you squirm a little. They made suburban dwellers and inner city residents look at the same harsh reality about violence, gang activity and the fact that, for some, life is only about finding ways to survive.
Commonly, emotions swing for artists as their views on life progress and change through the years. If you're unaware though, Staples is far from common and his answers in interviews for years have been stagnant. If you've seen or read one interview with Staples, you've seen and read them all. So, while just about anyone else might feel the need to make a record with a more uplifting theme after such a hopeless
debut, Staples seems quite alright with making us think
or at this point know that he doesn't want to make music to uplift. He wants to make music to inform. That's very clear on his latest release "Prima Donna."
Opening with a quiet, muffled, barely singing Staples, who recites "This Little Light of Mine," the song is abruptly cut off by a startling
immediately jumping into James Blake-produced "War Ready," a track that features an Andre 3000 vocal sample from the song "ATLiens."
gunshot that makes your heart race the way only a Vince Staples song can. The track illustrates how time spent searching for hope can be violently cutoff.
While returning producers No I.D. and DJ Dahi are behind most tracks, familiarity for Staples seems completely unnecessary. Over the course of the past year he's been featured on tracks that range from Flume's "Smoke and Retribution" to a remix of Charlie Puth's "Suffer," and he's found an innate ability to change his flow track to track. His high-pitched tenor can lift up high paced beats that call for loudness and quickness while his soft, almost spoken-word voice can create the right mood as things slow down.
"War Ready" is a song that mixes classic Staples vocals and lyrics with a new style of production, and provides the cleanest image of what "Prima Donna" is as a total project.
Unlike another California rapper who you might of heard of, Kendrick Lamar, Staples isn't into making things more complicated than they need to be. He doesn't waste anytime,
On "Smile," produced by No LD., Staples creates the modern rap-rock track that taps into the rapper's rise and the lessons he's learned and the guilt he still feels. His vocals take the guitar and meet in the middle so that one isn't featured more heavily than the other.
"Big Time," the closing
track, is an incredibly simple beat by Blake that allows Staples to get out any last words and close out the record in the traditional Staples way, an ambiguous, "Next time on Poppy Street."
Staples isn't into making things more complicated than they need to be."
In a short period of time, Staples has cemented himself as one of the best rappers alive in 2016 and "Prima Donna" further verifies that, while what we've seen and heard has been great, the best is yet to come.

KU preview: Growth, talent at offensive positions
WESLEY DOTSON
@WesleyDee23
2
W with key players returning to each position
Quarterback Montell Cozart hands the ball off to running back Ke'aun Kinner.
on the offensive side of the field, the Kansas football team is expecting to make some bigger strides than it did last season.
Missy Minear/KANSAN
What caused the offense to struggle at times last season was a porous defense that ranked second to last in the nation. The expected improvement of the defense should make the task of the offense, to focus on the areas they need to improve, much easier.
Those areas include converting more third-down plays, scoring while in the red zone and moving the ball downfield.
A more experienced quarterback, a healthy running back and the addition of a talented wide receiver will help a Jayhawk offense that ranked last in the Big 12.
QUARTERBACKS
**Key returners:** Ryan Willis, Montell Cozart, Keaton Perry
**Key loss:** Michael Cummings
While Kansas coach David Beaty has yet to name a starter prior to the season opener against Rhode Island on Sept. 3, sophomore quarterback Ryan Willis appears primed for the job.
Willis was the most effective of any starter last season, throwing for a Kansas freshman-record 1,719 yards and nine touchdowns.
Still, there were strug.
ges along the way. He threw 10 interceptions and completed only 52 percent of his passes under constant pressure, but Beaty believes he has made strides in his game.
"Oh, yeah, he's a baby," Beaty said. "He played a few games last year. He got knocked around a little bit. He is by no means a finished product, at all."
On the other hand, redshirt junior Montell Cozart has the ability to give opposing defenses another look with his athleticism and speed. Beaty also loves what he can bring to the locker room.
"Montell has been here for a long time and he just got voted team captain again," Beaty said. "For that guy to be voted and looked at that highly, that tells you what his teammates think of him."
Beaty added: "That's a good deal for us. He's one of those guys that does everything you ask him to do and more. He's a gym rat and he really works hard at the game. I'm very glad he's here, I'll tell you that."
Cozart will likely open the season as the backup, but his leadership qualities will be key to the growth of Willis and sophomore quarterback Keaton Perry.
RUNNING BACKS
Key returners: Ke'aun
Kinner, Taylor Martin
Key losses: Ryan Schadler (season-ending surgery), Taylor Cox,
De Andre Mann The running game was a promising sign early in the
season last year, but it lost its dynamic after the torn labrum senior Ke'aun Kinner suffered behind a young offensive line. Kansas finished last in the Big 12 with an average of 112.9 yards per game on the ground.
Expect that to improve with a healthy Kinner anchoring the load. The running back corps will also feature sophomore Taylor Martin and freshman Khalil Herbert, who have impressed in fall camp.
"Right now, they are hard to tackle," Beaty said during fall camp. "The first defense had a hard time making a tackle on most of those guys. I like their speed — every one of them can run. I like the way they are being coached."
A spike in production should be expected with a healthy Kinner at the helm, along with the addition of
RECEIVERS
LaQvionte Gonzalez,
Steven Sims, Jr., Jeremiah
Booker, Ben Johnson (tight
end), Tyler Patrick, Bobby
Hartzog, Jr.
**Key loss:** Tre' Par-
malee
Assuming Willis is the starting quarterback, he will have plenty of receivers with key experience to build chemistry with.
But perhaps the biggest name for Willis to build chemistry with early on is junior transfer LaQuvionte Gonzalez, a former four-star recruit and Texas A&M wide receiver. Beaty coached Gonzalez while a receivers coach at Texas A&M and it will be key for him to maximize his talent, because he has the potential to provide instant offense.
"[The quarterbacks] know that kid's talented and if they can get it close to him at the right spot, he can do something extra with it," Beaty said. "We can throw it to him short and he can turn it into something big. That's been really good for him and good for them."
Junior tight end Ben Johnson also has the potential to make a big impact. Johnson, a Big 12 honorable mention last season, caught 13 passes for 115 yards in 2015.
His 6-foot-5 frame should allow him to become a bigger factor this season, especially in the red zone. Johnson excelled in fall camp and seems poised for a breakout campaign.
Another player that potentially can become a bigger factor is sophomore Steven Sims, Jr. As a freshman, Sims caught 30 passes for 349 yards and two touchdowns in the midst of erratic quarterback play.
Johnson's and Sims' growth should be a reflection of the work of first-year wide receivers coach Jason Phillips.
Phillips comes to Kansas after spending three years on the coaching staff at SMU, where he produced multiple 1,000 yard and 100-reception receivers for the first time in school history.
"I have learned a great deal from him about wide receiver play and I am very excited that he is now a part of our staff because of his knowledge of the game," Beaty said when Phillips first joined the coaching staff.
Kansas also added freshman wide receiver Keegan Brewer, who was the top receiver in the spring game.

It was a blue Gatorade bath that Bowen got after that November afternoon game in Memorial Stadium. The dump was perfectly executed by tight end Jimmy Mundine and linebacker Ben Heeney. During the game, a full crowd of students on Memorial Stadium's east side started to chant, "Bowen! Bowen!" He got the game ball after his first win.
Bowen has always maintained that it was never about him. To him, it was about the pure jubilation that the players experienced afterward: being surrounded by students after the game, the Rock Chalk chant in the locker room, the feeling of a win. That's what he remembers most about the game: smiles on the faces of his players.
He expected to win that game; he would have been
disappointed to lose. It was five games into his interim tenure, six weeks since Charlie Weis had been fired after going 2-2 in his first four games. Finally, it felt like the uncertainty in the Kansas football program had subsided; it had someone it could get behind in in Bowen.
"I was just happy for the players," Bowen said. "Any time they get that success and they win, you're just excited for those guys, because they do, win or lose, those guys are still working."
It's easy to parallel that win in 2014 and this weekend's game against Rhode Island. Kansas was in the cellar of the Big 12 before that game, and it is again now after going 0-9 in conference play last year. Then, an abundance of doubt from the fans about where the program was headed, and who the next head coach would be. Ever since
that win, external doubt has lingered. Internally,the expectation has stayed the same. It's simple: ignore what's going on around the program, what people are saying, and win a football game.
But this time, Kansas has waited and waited for that win. For the guys who were here in 2014 to see that win, it hasn't just been a couple of weeks, but almost two years. Finally though, the Jayhawks are anticipating a win again.
"I'm excited for Saturday to go out there and play," senior kicker Matthew Wyman said. He paused, then cracked a smile. "And I know we are going to win, so..."
It might not come with sticky blue liquid and a celebration like 2014. But Wyman can't wait to walk back to a locker room that is cheerful, not hushed and dreary like it has been for the last 655 days.

@BrianMinimum
Despite sophomore quarterback Ryan Willis' success last season, coach David Beaty assured everyone that the race for starting quarterback against Rhode Island is between three players.
Listed atop the newly posted depth chart in a tie are redshirt junior Montell Cozart, freshman Carter Stanley, and Willis.
As for how Beaty chose who gets first reps at practice, there's already a system set up for that.
"We play rock, paper, scissors each day to see who goes first," he said. "We literally play rock, paper, scissors to see who goes first."
Cozart started the season before Willis took over after an injury forced Cozart out of the Iowa State game. Stanley redshirted last season.
Cozart was enjoying a solid start to last season and through just four games, already set his career high for passing yards in a season with 752 yards and a 62.9 percent completion percentage. Willis followed Cozart's start with 1,719 yards, nine touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
"From a quarterback standpoint, it's been pretty clear for a couple weeks that those three guys would be the guys that would kind of step to the forefront," Beaty
said Tuesday. "But the good news is, I mean, you know, we got several guys in that room, and I think every one of them are going to be talented player here. It was a great, great race this year, for sure."
Back in April, Cozart was granted hardship waiver, which allowed him to be redshirted after his injury.
Last October, Beaty hinted that Cozart could possibly see time at a position other than quarterback.
"He's way too good of an athlete to be standing [on the sideline] by me," Beaty said. "So we're going to find a way to get our best players on the field, whether he's at quarterback, receiver, defensive back."
Despite breaking the freshman passing record for Kansas last season, Willis still won't be named the outright starter for the season opener. Beaty said that Willis is still "a baby" and "is by no means a finished product, at all."
Beaty added that the reason for not naming a starter so close to Saturday is because there isn't very much separation. Despite the freshman Stanley being named as one of the three potential starters, "the two guys that are getting the most reps are Montell and Ryan," Beaty said.

The Kansas men's and women's cross country teams open their 2016 season at the Bob Timmons Dual Classic on Saturday.
The Jayhawks are looking to replicate their success from last year as the teams placed first in the women's division and second in the men's division.
The women's cross country team was ranked No. 21 in the country by the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTF-CCCA) this week. The women's team is returning much of its roster, which qualified for the National Championships last year. This is the team's highest ranking since they were ranked No. 15 in 1998.
Kansas is also ranked second in the Midwest region behind Big 12 foe Oklahoma State. The Jayhawks rank one sport in front of the Iowa State Cyclones, who are expected to race in the Bob Tim-
mons Dual Classic.
The women's team had eight other runners place in the top 10 last year at this event, and seven of them will be returning this year. The squad is rounded out by seniors Malika Baker, Courtney Coppinger, Jennifer Angles and Nashia Baker as well as junior Lydia Saggau, who won the race last year.
Sophomore and All-American Sharon Lokedi, anchors the women's team. Lokedi placed in first last year at the Rim Rock Classic, which is run on the same course, with a time of 20:42.4 as a freshman. She looks to build off of her 10th-place finish last year in the NCAA Championships.
It is safe to say that the women's team should expect a solid showing from its top five runners. The men's situation is close to the complete opposite.
The Jayhawk men did not finish in either of the top two spots last year, as runners from Minnsota took those spots. However, the men had four
runners finish in the top 10 and all of them will be present this year; sophomores Dylan Hodgson and Michael Melgares, and senior Daniel Koech and James Hampton.
However, the men's team does have freshmen to be excited about. Marcus Quere, George Letner, Ethan Donley and Bryce Hoppel represent the future of this men's team and are anxious to get on the college stage. Also, redshirt freshman Bryce Richards will compete in cross country for the first time at the college level after competing on the track and field team this past spring.
The stage is set and the Jayhawks are ready to kick off the season on the right note this Labor Day weekend. The men's 6K race starts at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 3, while the women's 5K race starts at 10:00 a.m. Both races are at Rim Rock Farm in Lawrence, Kansas.
Armstrong aiming to fill void at defensive end
▶ BRIAN MINI
@brianminimum
Not since Michael Reynolds graduated in 2014 has Kansas had a reliable pass rusher. Signs point to that changing in 2016 thanks to a certain second-year pass rusher.
Sophomore defensive end Dorance Armstrong Jr. had a promising start to his college football career. On a 3rd-and-8 against South Dakota State in the first game of last season, Armstrong entered the game and immediately sacked quarterback Zach Lujan to force a punt.
The Jayhawks would end up losing that game and the following 11, but Armstrong still finished strong. At the end of his debut season, the 6-foot-4 newcomer had 3.5 sacks and four pass breakups as the team's third defensive end.
For reference, Reynolds finished his Kansas career no. 10 in total career sacks despite having just one sack through his first two years on the team. Armstrong might not be thinking of
breaking records, but he is aware of how to get there.
"I learned to learn my speed more," Armstrong said about the change from a year ago. He also emphasized the ability to "communicate as a defense" and "make sure everyone's on the same page."
Despite only being a freshman, Armstrong didn't enter the season under the radar. ESPN ranked him the second-best recruit in a class that included starters running back Ke'aun Kinner, offensive lineman Clyde McCauley, quarterback Ryan Willis and wide receiver Steven Sims Jr., among others.
What was most remarkable about Armstrong's emergence was that he only started the last five games of the season. Prior to the Oklahoma game, the defensive end position opposite recently graduated Ben Goodman Jr. was held by a combination of seniors Damani Mosby and Anthony Olbia.
"I loved it," Armstrong said about getting freshman playing time. "It made
me a better player. When I watch film of what I did last year, I'm able to critique my game."
Armstrong also mentioned that while he was recovering from an offseason injury, he was able to focus on weight training.
On Tuesday, defensive coordinator Clint Bowen cited Armstrong, among a couple others, as the strength of this year's defense. He also said that this development at the "defensive end spot has started to develop depth" this year.
Fast forward to 2016, when Armstrong is listed as the starting defensive end alongside Olobia. The sophomore brings a level of hype that might only be rivaled by sophomore quarterback Ryan Willis.
Coach David Beaty might not have been able to pick up a win in his first season with Kansas, but he certainly took a step in the right direction in recruiting Armstrong.

Sunflowers bloom at Grinter Farms near Lawrence. Every year, locals visit the field to enjoy the scenery and take pictures.

Grinter Farms' sunflowers provide annual photo opportunity for students

or many students at the University, visiting the sunflower field is an annual tradition.
The blossoms at Grinter Farms, located about 15 minutes northeast of Lawrence, are currently in full bloom making them a popular attraction for pictures and picking.
Although the field receives large numbers of visitors each year—including an overwhelming amount this past
Labor Day - sunflower enthusiasts may not know the history of the well-photographed field.
It's a beautiful place and beautiful energy."
Lindsay Myers Alumna
"My granddad moved here in 1947," Ted Grinter, owner of Grinter Farms, said. "We have been farming ever since on this ground. My dad started growing sunflowers around 1976-1977."
The farm on 24154 Stillwell Road is still a popular attraction for students.
"I've been there twice, once this year, and I went last year," Kayle Riebel, a junior from Humboldt said. "Last year, I went with a friend from the dorm, and this year I went with her, my two other roommates and my boyfriend."
Visiting Grinter Farms is free, but the owners encourage visitors to donate money if they are taking professional photos on the farm. If visitors take a flower, a one dollar donation is encouraged. Additionally there are no restrooms on the farm.
"I did gasp in horror that people chop them down and take them home, since I believe we should leave beauty alone," Lindsay Myers, an alumna from Ulysses, said.
"When we were driving up to it, the first thing you see are these hills of yellow and the beauty of it, and then all of the people, and there are a ton." Riebel said.
One downside to the
sunflowers, Riebel said, might be the droves of people that crowd the field and make parking a hassle. However, she said she still thinks it's a worthwhile experience.
"I loved that it brought all of these different people together to experience nature and enjoy some precious time with family and friends."
According to the Grinter Farms Facebook page, they had to shut down on Labor Day due to too many accidents from so much traffic heading to the farm.
"Last year we were
pretty busy," Grinter said. "We had to close on Sept. 5 for safety. It was the busiest day ever."
Individuals that have gone out and seen the flowers have been very pleased with what they have seen.
"It's a beautiful place and beautiful energy. I'm having pictures taken there next year," Myers said.
Grinter advises visitors to relish their time when visiting the sunflowers.
"Have fun, enjoy the experience," he said.
Study says switching majors won't delay graduation
CHANDLER BOESE
@Chandler_Boese
It's commonly said that switching majors will set students back in their graduation. But a new study says taking a while to find the major that's "the one" doesn't hurt a student's chances of graduating on time.
The study by the Educational Advisory Board looked at thousands of students' final major declarations and their graduation
In fact, the graduation rate for those who pick their final major in the first semester of their freshman year was actually lower than those who picked their final major any time between their second and tenth semesters. Up through a stu-

The researchers found that later switches do not make students less likely to graduate or to graduate on time.
At the University's Undergraduate Advising Center, which works with students who haven't yet entered a program, students are encouraged to get into a major early for several reasons, director Abby Coffin said.

the center will be using the study's finding to restructure their advising processes any time soon, as the EAB report is only one piece of the literature and data that University staff uses to determine their operations.
The University already has goals and programs set up that are geared toward early major declaration, Coffin said, and she's seen those procedures work well for the students she sees.
One of those programs is the Graduate in Four Task Force, which determines how the University measures and improves student success. The task force focuses on tracking progression towards a degree and retention, both of which are improved by early major choices, Coffin said.
"Doing those two things, it's really important that you declare the major that you're going to do sooner rather than later." she said.
Moreover, some of the University's programs aren't set up for a late entry. If a student wants to enter into a program like pharmacy or engineering, that student will have to complete very specific courses in a very specific order. These programs, which Coffin calls "lock-step programs," often require students to be fully committed to the major for more than a couple of semesters.
"Our general rule is
that we try to help students get into a major as quickly as possible in case it is one of those lock-step programs," she said. "This way we know we have you in the right place."
In fact, if students don't get into a lock-step program early, it can really hurt them. Benn Stover is beginning his fourth year at the University, but his school, Art and Design, sees him as a sophomore — and he'll graduate at the same time as one.
In his first three years, Stover tried out biology and mechanical engineering, but neither really felt right to him.
"It's frustrating because you don't get a sense of what it's going
to be until you're really in it," he said.
Stover said he might have been able to do more general education requirements earlier, but he doubts it would have helped him graduate sooner, as the design school's requirements are so sequential.
Even for less sequential courses, like many in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Coffin said students do get benefits from entering those programs early, though it's not as essential.
"We want to connect to that major early. We want you to start meeting incredible faculty. We want you to have a variety of experiences and opportunities and internships," she said. "And we want
you to do that as soon as possible, but if you don't happen to make that decision until later, you will still graduate on time."
Coffin said, overall, the way the UAC approaches major declarations is very individualized. While the UAC does encourage students to pursue their interests as early as possible, it doesn't seriously approach an undecided or "deciding", as UAC calls it, student about needing to declare a major until that student reaches 60 credit hours.

Architecture students help Wichita's homeless
ARCH 508/509 students start their group presentation on current sleeping conditions in homeless shelters.
▶ CHANDLER BOESE
@Chandler_Boese
Baxter Schanze/KANSAN is in homeless shelters
Around the University, there are a lot of places one might hear discussions about social justice: the Multicultural Center, ethics classrooms and Spooner Hall. But an unexpected one is an architecture studio in Marvin Hall.
In assistant professor Chad Kraus' ARCH 508/509 class, students are going to build a home for the homeless community in Wichita. The home they construct, a project that will take the entire school year, will hopefully be a prototype for an entire community of tiny homes for the homeless.
"The group will use it to raise awareness, persuade donors to contribute to their bigger vision, a city of tiny homes for the homeless, with the city to get approval," Kraus said. "It will eventually become a home for a member of the homeless community."
The Wichita organization that is planning the community of tiny homes, Let's Rock and Roll and Change the World, approached
Kraus this summer about his class taking on the project.
"For this project in particular, the tiny house is an ideal model for us," he said. "In the tiny house, there's essentially an element of almost every aspect of [the students'] future career."
With this year's project, Kraus is especially excited for his students to turn a client's request and vision into a reality. Moreover, Kraus said the chance for his students to do something like this for the community is one that doesn't often come along for young architecture students.
"The thing I'm most excited about, probably, in regards to this particular project, is the social dimension," Kraus said.
One thing Kraus and his students have been discussing is how the service goes both ways in this project: while his class is giving a home to a community, the community is also giving them the learning experience of building a home.
"That kind of reciprocal nature, kind of avoiding the industrial savior complex, I think is really important, but also
His students are also looking forward to the unique things that this project offers. Morgan Merkel, a junior from St. Louis, was in a different section of the 509 class, but switched to Kraus' section when she learned about the project.
for them to understand issues of homelessness, not just from a pragmatic standpoint, but also from a social, theoretical standpoint," Kraus said.
"It's really about doing something bigger than me," she said. "It's not just about me thinking about my education as much as it's about doing something for other people."
CORRECTION:
The Sept. 1 edition misidentified the graduate teaching assistant pictured on page three. His name is Lukas Szrot. The Kansan apologizes for the error.
Her classmate, Jordan Coslett, a junior from Halstead, said he was initially looking forward
to the idea of building an entire home (a more extensive project than what is typically done in a design-build studio), but his perspective has changed since the class began.
"Chad [Kraus] started to talk about the social impact that this project could have and I got even more excited," he said.
In October, the class will take a trip to Wichita to meet the organization, speak with the man who will be living in the house and get to know the community.
From there, the class will collaboratively design and build the house. Barring any complications, Kraus said the home will likely be done by the end of the year.

CLAS releases plan in hopes of increasing diversity
DARBY VANHOUTAN
@darbyvanhoutan
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences approached this academic year with a new goal in mind: improving diversity, equity and inclusion.
At the start of September, the college released a plan titled "Taking Leadership on Who and What Matters: The Plan to Build a Model Diverse, Equitable, and Inclusive College of Liberal Arts and Sciences."The plan aims to guide administrators within the college toward inclusive practices that encompass a more diverse campus.
According to Jennifer Hamer, associate dean
of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the issues of diversity, equity,and inclusion on a college campus is too often left up to students.
"As a college we know we have to do something," Hamer said. "We can't leave it all to the campus. We're responsible for our students, faculty and staff, and we will take leadership."
The plan was spearheaded by Hamer. She received input from multiple groups on campus and was significantly influenced by the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Work Group, a previously active group that was established in the spring of 2016.
Carl Lejuez, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said the plan was put in place to be proactive.
"We always have to be responsive with things that are happening on campus," Lejuez said.
Although the document lays out a five-year plan, Lejuez described it as a "living document" that will continually grow along with the campus.
"Eventually, we want to hear from everyone on campus," Lejuez said. "We want to hear from those who are or aren't vocal and those who maybe feel disenfranchised."
Both Lejuez and
Hamer define the plan as a way to encompass the diversity of the student body through a few priorities: recruitment, curriculum, academic programs and professional development.

The goal of the 'an, as stated in the document, is to "establish our commitment to, and accountability for, a liberal arts and sciences education that adequately prepares all students for work, research, leadership and informed citizenship in an increasingly diverse and global society."
There is still much work to be done concerning diversity, equity and inclusion, Hamer

said, but the plan to diversify is a start.
"There's a lot that still needs to change when it comes to treating groups fairly, making sure that different groups have equal access and equal
opportunity for success," Hamer said. "We don't have that at KU. We just simply don't."

USGS: Earthquake could be result of human activity
TANNER HASSELL
@thassell17
The magnitude 5.6 Oklahoma earthquake felt Saturday morning could be a result of "induced seismicity," or earthquakes caused by human activity, according to United States Geological Survey (USGS) geophysicist John Bellini. The quake, felt in Lawrence and as far away as Chicago, tied the record for the largest in the region.
The epicenter of the quake was near the town of Pawnee, Okla., and is tied with a November 2011 quake near Prague, Okla. for the highest magnitude in the Midwest. The 2011 quake resulted in two injuries and dozens of destroyed homes, according to the USGS website.
Bellini said Saturday's quake caused only minor damage to the exteriorors of buildings.
Rex Buchanan, interim director of the Kansas Geological Survey, said Saturday's quake adds to the increase in seismic activity in Oklahoma and southeast Kansas. The increase, Buchanan said, was not necessarily caused by fracking a process by which oil and gas is forced to the surface by injecting pressurized water deep into Earth.
"There's been a dramatic increase in seismic activity in both Oklahoma and a few counties in south-central Kansas. A lot of that increase has been linked to salt water disposal from oil and gas production," Buchanan said. "I want to be real clear in saying that we're not talking about earthquakes caused by hydraulic fracturing or fracking. The link here is to salt water disposal. When you produce oil in Kansas, you produce a lot more saltwater than you do oil. That salt water has to be disposed of in some fashion."
While Bellini said pinpointing an exact cause for an earthquake is not realistic in the short
term, this particular earthquake happened in an area where USGS studies have observed some induced seismicity.
According to the USGS website, human activity like the damming of water, mining and the injection of fluids into the earth's surface have been known to induce seismic activity.
"What we do know is that there is natural seismicity as well as induced seismicity in the area," Bellini said. "In that part of Oklahoma there has been some increase in seismicity since about 2009, where there's been over 500 earthquakes above a magnitude of 3.0.Most of this increase
is believed to be induced seismicity caused by the injection of wastewater from petroleum exploration."
Buchanan said the salt water is typically put back into subsurface tunnels in the mid-continent, and this has been linked to seismic activity. He also said salt water disposal will be a big topic among geologists during the study of this specific quake.
"In the midcontinent our focus will really shift to some of these critically stressed faults, and it may be that the increased mass from salt water changes the pressure and allows these faults to move," Buchanan said.
Saturday's quake has already produced aftershocks and could produce more, according to Buchanan.
According to the USGS, residents in the area can expect to feel aftershocks, and should be prepared for the possibility of another quake which could cause damage. There is a 12 percent chance another magnitude 5.0 or above quake could occur.

Bertels: We must learn from past mistakes
▶ ELLEN BERTELS @ellenbertels
E
Every time I walk someone around campus for the first time, I make sure to point out Wescoe Hall. In part, I do this because it is where I spend most of my time. (I've taken 24 courses in that building over seven semesters).
I also point it out to tell the story of Wescoe Hole.
We've all heard the rumors. We've all wondered about the strange architecture. As University lore goes, Wescoe Hall was supposed to be an impressive skyscraper, but along the way, something—funding, mismanagement, the war (which war? unsure)—forced construction to stop just after the parking garage was built. Thus, the dream of some magnificent structure was reconfigured into what we occupy every weekday: the lovable, albeit squat (and garage-like), Wescoe Hall.
A plaque in the Kansas Union, however, tells the truth. In the Traditions Lounge on the fourth floor of the Union, one of the
many plaques dedicated to recounting University history tells the full story of what was supposed to be a monumental 25-story skyscraper. Due to growing costs and a loss of federal funding, the four-story block of classrooms was created instead. Professors, historians and students agreed, according to the plaque, that the building had become a great scar on campus. During the two years of delayed construction, after the foundation was dug but before building began, the site was referred to as "Wescoe Hole."
The Wescoe we know today is an eccentric and lovable second home, and its past is a good story to
tell newcomers on tours. But is it still true that, as History Professor John H. McCool says, "the building is anything but an aesthetic nightmare that is truly unlovely to behold," or that it has earned "withering ridicule from faculty and staff alike" since opening?
Of course it's true. Trust me, I spend, on average, 3.5 hours in Wescoe each day. I know it doesn't have the grandiosity of Strong Hall or the sleek modernity of Capitol Federal. To act as if this is not a part of its history is a form of deceit.
So what story do we choose to tell?
This is not just a roast of Wescoe Hall. I'm not trying to be a cynic. Institutions
fail in small, and sometimes quite large, ways. Acting as though these failures do not exist does a disservice to our past and ignores the flaws that we could spend time fixing. Instead, we must talk about our failures with students old and new. We must allow those students to talk about these failures. We must erect witty plaques and write columns to help us remember these failures.
By publishing these criticisms, by acknowledging the failures of the past, we begin the slow process of improvement.

Issawi: Don't ignore Kaepernick's motives
▶ DANYA ISSAWI
@danyasawi
Silent protest often speaks louder than words. It is often defiant and, as a result, often rebuked.
What Colin Kaepernick did was defiant: he understood what was expected of him, yet chose to refrain from fulfilling those expectations. And because of that, he has created controversy.
Kaepernick, the quarterback for the San Francisco
His actions, and his statements that followed, were incendiary. Although some, such as basketball great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, have praised Kaepernick for taking a stand, others find his approach less than tasteful (Sean Hannity slung some harsh rhetoric at the football star).
49ers, recently announced that he will no longer stand for the national anthem as a form of protest. The quarterback said he no longer wishes "to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color."
We encounter protest (thank you, First Amendment) and defiance daily, whether it be on a personal or even national level, and yet Kaepernick's small gesture has created an uproar.
We must take into account why he felt the need to protest. We must take into account the intersectionality of Kaepernick's identity along with the identities of those athletes who set the precedents for protest before him. Yes, he is an American. Yes, he is black. And ultimately, at this moment in time, he feels as though those two identities cannot coexist as one.
Was what Kaepernick did wrong? Legally, no. We are lucky enough to live in a nation that allows us to speak and demonstrate freely. At most, it can be considered paradoxical.
We've seen it before: high-profile athletes exhibiting defiance in the face of the societal standards set for them. Muhammad Ali
refused to enlist in the U.S. army during the Vietnam War.Tommie Smith and John Carlos raised their fists in a black power salute as they stood on the Olympic podium in 1968.Even baseball legend Jackie Robinson wrote that 20 years after his first World Series game, he could no longer stand and sing the national anthem.
Sports have become our way of exhibiting pride in ourselves and in our country. We rely on events like the World Series and the Super Bowl to momentarily bring us together, to briefly replace the racial and cultural lines that normally divide us in order to forge new boundaries based solely on team affiliation. As a nation, we associate sports so closely with patriotism that
any act that severs the tie between the two is deemed borderline treasonous.
Kaepernick chose to take a stand by remaining seated. Is it a crime? No. Is he lucky enough to live in a country that allows him to exhibit defiance? Yes. And because of that, we should stop looking at the act itself and begin discussing the reasons that were behind it. If we don't begin dissecting the underlying and nearly explosive racial tension in this nation, then we have problems bigger than Kaepernick to worry about.

ART IN FOCUS
Fuko Ito, a graduate printmaking student, illustrates fantasies and the pain of coming back to reality.
Fuko Ito reflects on life through her art
▶ SAMANTHA SEXTON @Sambiscuit
SAMANTHA SEXTON
over 6,000 miles from home, Fuko Ito, a second-year graduate student from Kobe, Japan, has found a new family through her print work at the University.
Growing up in a dual-income household, Ito found herself in an English-speaking international daycare simply because it was close to her parents. This quickly led to confusion as Ito found that she could speak English better than her native Japanese.
"It must have been so weird for my parents," Ito said. "I would be talking in my sleep or to my teachers and they had no idea what I was saying."
Ito's proficiency in English helped broaden her choices in life and she eventually found herself in Lawrence studying printmaking. It so said that, initially, her work focused on feelings of confusion and not belonging. Now, however, Ito said that the Lawrence and University communities have become a second family.
Lawrence has such a robust printmaking community and KU has great faculty that have made me feel really welcome."
Fuko Ito Graduate student
"Lawrence has such a robust printmaking community and KU has great faculty that have made me feel really welcome," Ito said. "Plus I really prefer the openness of the community."
Ito's art, for example, questions what might be beyond her own experiences. She pulls images from her romanticized and fanciful imaginings of tropical islands and far-off places.
"Printmaking is very democratic as a medium." Ito said. "You can distribute your images; that's the whole point behind its invention. There's far more room to question and debate within the medium than in Japan."
Ito said the Japanese printmaking community is interested in discussing technique and classic styles rather than the personal connection between the artist, the art and the community, which is something she said frustrated her.
"It's almost pitiful to exaggerate what you can't attain," Ito said. "We always over emphasize different cultures and different places but that's just because it's something new."
She said being somewhat superficial brings more meaning to her work, as it shows the reality of not being able to live out one's fantasies.
"It's a pathetic, crushing feeling to be fantasizing and lost in my imagination to suddenly be pulled back to reality," Ito said. "I also like to exotify geography just because of my experience describing Japan to Americans who've never been."
Leigh Kaulbach, a fellow second-year graduate student in the printmaking program, said that Ito has an impressive, almost eerie, talent at giving human characteristics to anything, which serves to really hit that pitiful feeling.
"She can draw a sock and you can feel anything from inspiration to sorrow just depending on how she drew it," Kaulbach said. "There's
quiet, but real, emotion in everything she makes."
Kaulbach said that Ito is the first person that other students come to with questions or for advice.
"She has such a wealth of knowledge but also real intuition when it comes to printmaking," Kaulbach said. "She's so comfortable with the medium, it's easy to see how she's able to change her subject and textures so seamlessly."
Ito expects to graduate in 2018 and after that, she hopes to remain in the United States and teach.
"I've discovered that you can create a family and community anywhere with the right mindset so I'm not worried about leaving Kansas or staying out of Japan," Ito said. "I'm really excited to see what comes next."

Scot Pollard has ties to his character in 'The Profit'
TIMES
AFTER THE REAL ESTATE LAWYER AND HOME DEVELOPMENT OFFICIALS GO THROUGH THE PROPERTY TO CHECK FOR DAMAGES.
Former Kansas basketball player Scot Pollard stars in "The Profit," premiering Sept. 24.

▶ OMAR SANCHEZ @OhMySanchez
former Kansas basketball player and ex-NBA star Scot Pollard has been teammates with many people, but now he has teamed up with filmmaker and University film professor Kevin Willmott for a feature film titled "The Profit."
The film will premiere at Liberty Hall at 6 p.m. on Sept.24.Both Pollard and Willmill will be in attendance to speak with audience members after the screening.
The film, which features Pollard in the lead role, is a drama centered around the trials and tribulations of
aging NBA All-Star Joseph "The Profit" Smith. With a year left in the league to leave a final impression on his career, according to the official IMDB page, Smith reconnects with his old college town. In the process, the character revisits his past and has to battle critical moral dilemmas.
"We lift the skirt up on things people don't really see or hear about," Pollard said. "There now might be a deeper appreciation for what players go through. That you're constantly a target; that you're constantly being victimized for this or that."
Smith, a character who Pollard said has several small similarities to himself, is a man "stripped down to his bones" during the duration of the story, and someone who was a challenge to play.
"There are certain parts of this movie that have happened to me in real life and it touches home," Pollard said. "The character is a portion of me."
Other notable characters in "The Profit" include young college player Jamal "Big Chest" Chesterfield (Joseph Anderson), ex-girlfriend Maggie (Michelle Davidson), and Smith's former college coach (Walter Coppage).
First efforts to get the film on its feet began over four years ago, when Pollard had the idea for a
scripted television show that would have elements of his life — similar to that of the finished product "The Profit." After hiring a few Los Angeles screenwriters, Pollard began showing the script to people in Hollywood.
After the search for Hollywood interest proved unsuccessful, Pollard came back to Lawrence where he spoke to Willmott after working with him on 2014's "Jayhawkers."
Then, during a lunch at Jefferson's with Willmott and future movie co-writer Scott Richardson, his story caught their attention.
But, this story would no longer be for television. Instead, Willmott said a revamping of the basic ideas into a film could catch more eyes and be more financially reasonable.
"It's low budget with big budget ideas," Willmott said. "Scot's got a really interesting point of view and he's a really interesting character, just as a person and someone with a lot of experiences."
After a year and a half of shooting and a premiere delay due to Pollard's "Survivor" appearance and Willmott's work with the film "Chi-Raq," "The Profit" is ready to be viewed by a wide audience.
"There's a lot of different levels of the film," Willmott said. "And I think people that are interested in sports
will think it's a really good movie about the world that they probably know very little about and would really like to know."
While it is a film based on an athlete, Pollard said those outside the world of sports can appreciate the message the film sends as well.
"It's a drama that people can appreciate as a nonsports fan and realizing that things like these happen," Pollard said. "That when bad things happen to [professional athletes], it's not just their own fault."

Variety of acts coming to the Lied Center this fall
SAN FRANCISCO AUDITORIUM
ALYSSA HOEDL
@AHoedl
The Lied Center of Kansas' season begins on Saturday, Sept. 17 with Adam Devine's stand-up comedy performance and will continue throughout the school year. The venue will host a variety of performances, everything from family-friendly shows to Broadway shows and headlining acts.
A packed theater at the Lied Center waits for Steve Wozniak to come on stage.
Derek Kwan, executive director of the Lied Center, said shows are picked based on constant feedback from patrons. Kwan also said the artists have to be of the highest quality and have relevance to the University.
"We like to bring a wide variety and diversity [to the season]," said Kwan.
The center also hosts a series of programming
that is focused on artists with disabilities. This year's season includes two shows from Chicago Children's Theatre that feature children on the autism spectrum and a performance from Josh Blue, a famous comedian with cerebral palsy and a performance by AXIS dance company, which contains both able-bodied and disabled members.

"There are no limits for folks with any disabilities," Kwan said. "Performing
arts is a great place to show off their abilities."
The center also offers employment opportunities for students. This fall, there are close to 100 students involved at the Lied Center with around 60 working on the technical crew alongside professionals.

Cello
Baxter Schanze/KANSAN
Hannah Collins sits in the courtyard of Murphy Hall playing her cello. Collins has recently been appointed the visiting assistant professor of cello.
MUSIC IN FOCUS Visiting cello professor draws on lessons from others
◀ OMAR SANCHEZ @OhMySanchez
Now a visiting professor at the University, cello player Hannah Collins has used her instrument in a variety of ways, including recording, performing, teaching and more. But, in more than 30 years of playing the cello, she still looks back at that first time she picked it up as a source of creativity and motivation.
Collins began her relationship with the arts at a very early age - 4 years old - practicing the cello, a bowed-string instrument in the violin family.
At a certain point, a piece of art just moves you," Collins said. "You know that when you're 4 years old and you know that when you're 40."
Collins said she still uses that in her work.
"I think people that are doing [art] as a profession are always reaching back to that: simple and basic things," she said.
A New York native who was born near Rochester, Collins arrived at the University after a long journey in music performance and education. She is teaching cello at the school of music in different ways, including one-on-one weekly cello lessons, a group studio class and advising doctorate students in a performance program seminar.
And she's doing all this while finishing her doctorate degree.
While it is a lot to tackle, Collins' past ventures illustrate a rigorous work ethic and drive to succeed. Her resume includes some impressive achievements, including earning degrees at Yale University for both biomedical engineering and cello performance, working as a part of a professional development program that uses resources such as Carnegie Hall and Juilliard and performing a piece written by friend and Pulitzer-prize winning violinist/composer Caroline Shaw.
Somewhere in those achievements, Collins said a thread that weaves through them all is her willingness to work with others and learn from them on the way - a lesson she learned as a teenager in New York.
"For me, the best way to be driven and excel is be around people who have had experience," she said. "It's not just being in a practice room with myself or sussing out the room and figuring out how to beat [others]."
As a child, Collins learned this trait from her older sister, Sarah.
Sarah, who is almost 3 years older than her, played the violin during grade school. Attempting to find a way to bond with Sarah, Collins chose an instrument similar so they could both play together.
Collins said she was astonished by her sister's work with the violin.
"I was looking at my sister and was like 'Wow, she's practicing, maybe I should
do that," she said.
Sarah's mother, a scientist and piano player, and her father, a doctor, were also a source of inspiration. The motivation from her family pushed her to continue the cello throughout her time in school, she said. What hooked her into making music her life's work, however, was a high school camp, when she realized she could grow into an accomplished musician.
Greenwood Music Camp, located in Cummington, Mass., offered the opportunity for chamber players to practice in groups of four or five and feed off each others' performances.
"It was the whole vibe there," Collins said. "It's nice as a teenager to get used to playing in a quartet where you are all working together and you have this really positive experience."
With creativity and fun both important parts of her experience, she has now carried that over to her
work today.
In 2014, when she was approached about doing the cello piece "in manus tuas," which has a vocal component - something she had done before but not regularly - she jumped at the opportunity. It was a welcome challenge that puts her out of her comfort zone, she said.
"For Hannah, it was like in England; you're all the sudden driving on the other side of the road," Michael Compitello said, assistant proffessor of percussion who partners with Collins in the musical group New Morse Code.
As a part of the group, Compitello and Collins commission compositions from other people who can write for both percussion and cello. However, if they trust with the composer, they do not limit what their creativity dictates, Collins said.
In a new piece they are working on, a song written by Robert Hononcaled
"Down, Down, Baby," Collins will be using her cello for more than its intended purpose: percussive work. It's a challenge that Collins said is worth putting in the time for.
"I do definitely see it as a challenge, but it's something that allows me to learn about other things," she said.
Compitello and Collins will be premiering the piece Oct. 4, but before that, Compitello hopes they can both continue making music together and working with student musicians.
"My expectations for the year are that we can record music more often and that we can do our best to share some of our experiences we've been lucky to have with the students here," Compitello said.

Three keys to the Kansas City Chiefs 2016 season
25
Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles warms up during training camp in St. Joseph, Mo.
Associated Press
▶ MATT HOFFMANN
@MattHoffmannUDK
The Kansas City Chiefs have won Super Bowl 51.
That's the sentence Chiefs fans are hoping they will read the night of Feb. 5,2017,after the Super Bowl in Houston. But they have a long way to go before February.
Before the season, here's a look at a few key things that must go Kansas City's way if it wants to capture the Super Bowl 51 title.
Jamaal Charles
Perhaps the biggest question hanging over the Chiefs this year is, "how much running back Jamaal Charles will play, and how much will he produce?" Charles is coming off an ACL tear last October, his second ACL injury in his career. When Charles is healthy he is one of the best running backs in the league, rushing for over 1,000 yards each season from 2010-2014 (excluding his first ACL injury in 2011).
Coach Andy Reid has already told media on Tuesday that he "doesn't think" Charles will play week one against the Chargers. Charles will likely be back for week two against the Texans,but it's yet to be seen whether he can stay healthy throughout the season or if he can put
up another 1,000-yard rushing season. Both will be critical for Kansas City's chances of making a deep run in the playoffs.
The Division
The AFC West is completely up for grabs this season. The Denver Broncos don't have an established quarterback. The Chargers' biggest threat is an aging quarterback and a rookie defensive lineman who hasn't yet practiced in pads. The Raiders have hope in their young quarterback, but he hasn't shown concrete results and the team ownership may be more focused on moving to Las Vegas.
When you put it that way, the Chiefs, even with an injured running back, seem to be on solid footing. Kansas City should be licking their lips at the prospect of playing Denver, San Diego and Oakland two times each this season. The nonconference schedule also shapes up rather nicely for Kansas City, with games against the Jacksonville Jaguars and Tampa Bay Buccaneers at home and the Atlanta Falcons on the road.
The Chiefs do face the defending NFC champion Carolina Panthers and the dangerous Indianapolis Colts. But looking at the
Chiefs' schedule, an 11win season isn't out of the question.
The Defense
Even with a relatively easy schedule and an optimistic run game, if the Chiefs can't stop opposing offenses, they aren't going to have the fire power outscore their opponents, especially in the playoffs. The Chiefs are still a dinkand-dunk west coast-style offense and are going to need the defense to limit scoring.
Last season, the Chiefs allowed the third-fewest points of any team in the league. If they can replicate that kind of production this season, they'll be sitting pretty come January.
Safety Eric Berry, the team's feel good story, is back with the team and outside linebacker Tamba Hali cleared the PUP list and is questionable for week one, leaving the Chiefs with few, if any, gaping holes in the defense.
Kansas City opens regular season play this Sunday with a home game against the San Diego Chargers. The game is scheduled for a 12 p.m.start and can been seen locally on CBS network.
Kansas soccer returns home Friday vs. Pittsburgh
COLORADO

@SkyRolSports
After splitting a twogame road trip in Nebraska, Kansas soccer (3-2-1) heads into two games this weekend, at home against Pittsburgh and away at University of Missouri-Kansas City.
Though the match against UMKC is away, it's still in the area, about an hour away from Lawrence.
Defender Aurelie Gagnet protects the ball from Colorado forward Emilv Bruder
Pittsburgh (1-4-1) is another team Kansas should be able to beat. The only serious test the Jayhawks have faced so far this season has been Nebraska, which defeated Kansas last Friday, 1-o.
At the beginning of the season, Pittsburgh defeated now-No. 19 Ohio State in an exhibition and tied in a double-overtime game with Michigan, a team that has received votes in the Top 25. However, in the
last two games,which were against unranked teams in California,Pittsburgh has given up seven goals and scored zero.
We competed well. It's really disappointing that this one got away from us."
Mark Francis Kansas coach
Kansas will make the short trip to Kansas City on Sunday to take on UMKC. The match will be just the second home game this season for UMKC, which comes into the match 1-3-2.
Andrew Rosenthal/KANSAN
A weekend sweep is likely for the Jayhawks, as the team barely has to travel and faces teams it has proven to be able to play at a higher level than.
Kansas, having lost one
of its last five games, nearly grabbed a result against Nebraska last Friday. With only 26 seconds left in double overtime, Nebraska's Brenna Ochoa scored to give Nebraska the win.
Nebraska was the first team Kansas has played this season which had a higher RPI ranking than itself from last season. Nebraska was No.44 in the rankings with Kansas at No.69.
"This is a really tough one to swallow because I thought we played really well tonight," Kansas coach Mark Francis said in a press release. "We created chances to score and, in the second half, I thought we controlled the match well. We defended well. We competed well. It's really disappointing that this one got away from us."
Sunday over Valparaiso. The team stayed in Lincoln, Neb., for the second match, but not over the entire weekend. Kansas stayed in Omaha, Neb., during this road trip.
Kansas rebounded from the draining 120 minutes against Nebraska for a win
Facing a 2-3 Valparaiso team, Kansas took care of business Sunday afternoon. Freshman Katie McClure and Grace Hagan scored to notch the victory.
Kansas' game against
Pittsburgh is set to be played at Rock Chalk Park at 7 p.m. on Friday. The game against UMKC will be played at Durwood Soccer Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.

Maicke: Time to end preseason college rankings
▶ MIKE MAICKE
@MJ_Maicke
W What a wild weekend of upsets in college football.
No. 5 LSU lost to the unranked Wisconsin Badgers, No.10 Notre Dame fell to unranked Texas, and the No.3 Oklahoma Sooners fell to the No.15 Houston Cougars.
But are these games really upsets? Technically, yes, when an unranked team beats a ranked team it is an upset. But who decides that a certain team is the third-, fifth- or 10th-best team, without seeing the players take the field for an official game?
I'll be blunt about it; pre-season rankings need to go.
The first thing that comes to mind is how grossly inaccurate they are year after year. Sure these analysts typically can get the No.1 or 2 team right for at least a few weeks, but in the playoff era,
Associated Press LSU's Jamal Adams fails to intercept a pass during the first half of an NCAA college football game against Wisconsin Saturday, Sept. 3, 2016, in Green Bay, Wis.
Just ask Ohio State.
being the third- or fourthranked team is just as important as claiming the top spot.
32
The counter to my preseason rankings gripe is a simple one, "Stop complaining. Mike! The best teams will rise to the proper ranking by the end of the year anyway." Sure, that is typically how it works out, but people that fall back on that statement are missing the big point of why these preseason rankings are so destructive.
The only problem is that LSU isn't a top-five opponent. In fact, they aren't even
Teams are consistently getting unfair resume boosts from week one games against grossly overrated teams. Let's look at Wisconsin for a second. A win against a top-five opponent in LSU at a neutral venue (but, come on, Green Bay isn't that neutral) looks absolutely fantastic on a team's postseason resume.
close right now, seeing as the Tigers dropped all the way to the No. 21 spot. So did Wisconsin beat the fifth-ranked team or the 21st-ranked team?
LSU's No. 5 ranking had absolutely no merit to it beside a few people proclaiming the Tigers as a top team despite these same people not seeing a minute of them on the field in 2016.
Associated Press
Further compounding this problem is the fact that wins in September are seemingly valued the same as wins in November. A football team in week one is drastically different than the team that will take the field in rivalry week, so let's please start weighing wins and losses differently.
Not all wins are created equal.
Preseason rankings have one true intention, to boost television ratings by creating seemingly a matchup between two top teams such as the third-ranked Sooners
against the 15th-ranked Cougars. That's promo gold.
And now, thanks to those little unwarranted numbers in front of the schools' names, the game becomes must-see TV for the lemming sports audience that takes those rankings as the be-all
and end-all.
It's not fair for teams like Wisconsin to get its "victory of the year" against a team that was simply misjudged by analysts.
Stop giving undeserving teams undeserving post-season resume boosts. Stop
trying to hype up a matchup with rankings which are blatantly off.
So please, stop ranking teams in the preseason.

Football coaches emphasize 'dirty work'
BRIAN MINI
@brianminimum
Coach David Beaty knows his team needs to play well for a win against Ohio. Most of the time this means a heavy emphasis on an efficient offense, a stout defense and a strong special teams.
Despite these basics,
Beaty stresses one more
thing: dirty work.
"Dirty work is the nonglorifying stuff that doesn't stand out throughout the week," Beaty said on Tuesday.
It shows everywhere, from Beaty's praise of freshman wide receiver Chase Harrell to coaches evaluating offensive
linemen's knock-down blocks.
In this week's media game notes, the offensive line was graded by the coaching staff on their performance against Rhode Island. On Tuesday, Beaty said the offensive line stood out, and, to back that up, they graded well.
Freshman right tackle Hakeem Adeniji, who was forced into a starting role, finished with the line's highest pass protection grade while senior left tackle D'Andre Banks had a team-high five knock-down blocks.
"Hakeem is a very talented young guy," Beaty said. "Very pleased with what he's been doing."
Although Beaty applaudled the offensive line play, there was one other newcomer that grabbed his attention, along with offensive coordinator Rob Likens.
"Chase Harrell, and what he did in the blocking game out wide, man he did some dirty work," Beaty said. "And that's not the work that most people want to do, but it needs to be done on championship ball clubs and that stuff starts to show up."
The 6-foot-4 wide receiver even garnered comparisons to NFL rising star Mike Evans from Beaty. Likens had similar praise when talking about the young wide receiver.
"One of the things I always look for is the character of your football team can be directly correlated to how hard the wide receivers block," he said. "Chase came in later in the game when the score was getting out of hand and he had a couple knock downs."
In a position full of "dirty work," senior backback Michael Zunica was praised by coaches and teammates after his performance against Rhode Island.
"Zunny's one of those people that you don't hear from as much," redshirt junior quarterback Montell Cozart said. "He's always one of the first guys in and the last guys out. He's one
of those detail-oriented guys."
While praising Ohio ahead of Saturday's meeting, Beaty gave a key improvement that Kansas will have to make to be successful again.
"When you lose your focus for just a second, that's when problems happen, and we learned a lot about staying focused," Beatty said.
In terms of what the Jayhawks had to work on against Ohio, Beaty drilled home his philosophy on the importance of dirty work.
This week, Beaty mentioned "loafs," which are plays where "dirty work" could be done, but an opportunity is missed. For
example, jogging instead of running. But it's those opportunities that need to be taken advantage of going forward.
"A loaf is not finishing between the ball carrier and your defender as a receiver on a blocking play. If not, you've got a loaf and those have to have accountability to them," Beaty said. "[Days after wins] don't come free, and you've got to earn them and they're only going to get tougher from here, starting Saturday with Ohio."

KU volleyball rolls into next tournament

@ByHardy
It was almost nine months ago when Kansas volleyball's National Championship hopes ended in Omaha, Neb. On Wednesday, No. 4 Kansas volleyball will travel back to Omaha for the Bluejay Invitational.
Tavler Soucie gets fired up after winning a set against Arkansas. Kansas went on to win the match in five sets.
The invitational will consist of a pair of matches against unranked opponents in Creighton and Chattanooga before returning home for a match against Northern Iowa on Saturday. Creighton is currently unranked, but received 48 votes in the most recent AVCA coaches' poll, which places the Bluejays at No.30.
Kansas will enter as one of 26 teams in the NCAA that is still undefeated. The Jayhawks have won seven straight nonconference tournaments and 21 straight matches against nonconference opponents during the regular season. Kansas hasn't lost a regular season nonconference game since Sept. 19, 2014.
A glance at Kansas'
Kansas will take on Creighton first, as part of
the three-match weekend. Historically, the Jayhawks are 8-1 against the Bluejays. Kansas has won the last two matches against Creighton, including one in 2013 that sent Kansas to the Sweet 16 for the first time in program history.
Creighton is 2-3, but is much stronger than its record might indicate. The Bluejays were ranked No. 22 before its two losses at the USC Radisson Classic last week. One of Creighton's three overall losses came against No. 24 USC and the other two against Kentucky and Wichita State, both of which registered votes in the most recent AVCA coaches' poll.
Kansas' second match will be against Chattanooga at 6 p.m. on Friday. Kansas leads the series 1-0. Chattanooga is 5-2, but was swept in its only match against a team that registered in the AVCA rankings — Dayton.
TCU will also be at the invitational, but since TCU is in the Big 12, Kansas and TCU won't play against each other until the conference season. Kansas replaced that third game on the schedule with a home duel against Northern Iowa
Northern Iowa will face Kansas on Saturday at 6 p.m. in Horejsi Family Athletics Center. Ahead of their two Friday matches, the Panthers are 3-3 with losses to No.22 Michigan,No. 24 Southern California and No.30 Creighton. But the Panthers also swept No.29 Kentucky in California last week and should come into Horejsi on a three-game win-streak.
of the Missouri Valley Conference.
Kansas volleyball quick hits
- The team remained at No. 4 in the new AVCA rankings despite going 3-0 last week. Texas also remained at No. 3. The Big 12 also had plenty of teams on the verge of cracking the top 25; Kansas State fell in at No. 27, TCU at No. 32, Iowa State at No. 39, and Oklahoma at No. 43.
- Junior outside hitter Madison Rigdon is fourth in the NCAA in aces per set with 14 aces in 19 sets (0.74 per set).
— Kansas is second in opponent's hitting percentage, allowing only 187 kills on 688 tries and 138 errors for a .071 percentage.
- Junior All-American
setter Ainise Havili has a chance to hit 3,000 assists this weekend. She's currently at 2,916 coming into the weekend and averages a career 11.66 assists per set. She would be the seventh
Jayhawk to reach 3,000 career assists.
Senior libero Cassie Wait was named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week on Monday after averaging 6.5 digs per set last
weekend in the Kansas Invitational. She also notched her second career 30-dig match with 31 digs in a five-set match against Arkansas on Saturday.

KU clubs can now restrict membership
ECM
1204 OREAD
Alex Robinson/KANSAN This year a new Kansas law goes into action, allowing student religious groups to restrict membership at their discretion.
CHANDLER BOESE
@Chandler_Boees
Campus religious groups are now allowed extra protection as a result of a Kansas law that went into effect July 1, but most people are unsure of what this will look like in practice.
Under Senate Bill 175, which passed last March, campus organizations have the right to restrict members based on their religious beliefs, religious standards of conduct or commitment to the organization's mission. Furthermore, Kansas universities are not allowed to withhold any benefits, including registration, use of facilities, funding and more, from religious organizations who take advantage of these rights.
Neither the University nor the Board of Regents has adopted any policy changes as a result of the law, but KBOR Communications Director Breeze Richardson said she anticipates the board will formally review any relevant policies in a few months.
The University's Director of News and Media Relations, Erinn Barcomb-Peterson, said, "We will work with our campus partners and the Kansas Board of Regents to interpret and implement the law as needed."
Leaders of one group on campus said they can't imagine a situation in which they'd have to take advantage of the law. The Muslim Student Association emphasizes inter-faith discussions, president Zoya Khan said.
"We're the place for you to go if you have questions about our culture," she said.
Khan, a sophomore from Overland Park, said the MSA welcomes anyone who wants to learn more about Islam or Islamic culture into
its meetings and has no formal membership rules. Anyone can visit the meetings, where members spend about half the time in social activities and the other half on religious activities.
"We're trying to strike a balance between our faith lives and our student lives," she said.
Shawn Dunaway from Olathe doesn't think discrimination will be the biggest issue with the bill, as he said all student organizations have the right to choose who they include in their group.
The University adopts the Board of Regents policies on student organizational membership, which state that restricting membership is allowed, as long as it's not on the basis of race, gender or sexual orientation.
Dunaway, who is the president of the Society of Open-Minded Atheists and Agnostics, said many clubs already have their own membership and leadership rules that allow current members to choose who will lead them or participate in their organization
"If someone comes in and starts yelling about us, even if it's not a religious thing, they're just mad at us for whatever reason, they're going against what our club stands for, then we don't have to accept them as a member," he said. "No one is saying that if we have an open-arms policy where anyone can come and check out our meetings, that they're going to be the president."
According to current University policy, Dunaway is right.
"The right of organizations to establish standards for membership is acknowledged, provided that all students

Campus remembers 9/11
Kansas ROTC members salute during the 9/11 vigil on Sunday night in front of the Campanile
HAILEY DIXON

As the sun set Sunday evening, around 50 students, staff and law enforcement officers gathered under the Campanile to light candles, sing hymns, and remember the lives lost on Sept.11, 2001.
"Let us never forget," were the resounding words spoken by Lawrence Fire Department Chief Mark Bradford. Bradford was the key speaker for the memorial service. He spoke about the 15th anniversary of the tragedy and how over 2,900 lives were lost.
For some, the memory of 9/11 is unclear. The 15th anniversary of the attacks marks a new generation of high school students, some of which are too young to
"I was stationed in Kuwait at the time," Rory Parker, Student Veterans of America president and veteran peer mentor, said. "We had to get a vehicle dispatched, check for leaks. When done dispatching, I went to use the phone and talked to my current then-girlfriend. The line then went dead, sirens immediately turned on.
"I don't really remember much," Dixon said. "I am here today to pay my respects."
remember the day.
Sophomore Emily Dixon said they don't have many memories from the day of the tragedy in 2001.
People were running all around; I knew something really bad was happening then."
The University chapters of Student Veterans of America, ROTC, Veterans Alumni Network, and other organizations coordinated the event.
Parker did not see the live coverage of the tragedy like many other Americans did that day.
"I did not see pictures until December 2001. I didn't watch it live. It was difficult to believe," he said.
Bret Easterling, a sophomore and vice president of Student Veterans of America said the commemorative event held on campus was the only event in Lawrence.
"We wanted something low key and significant," Easterling said. "This country has always been known for its resolve. This was the modern Pearl Harbor of our lifetime. This event transcends this country."
Randy Masten, assistant director of graduate military programs, said that he hopes to make the memorial an annual event. He remembers driving from Lawrence to Manhattan, Kan. on 9/11. He, and a three-star Lieutenant General, listened to the radio the whole time, trying to get a hold of individuals that were at the Pentagon.
Fifteen years after the attacks, Masten said it is now important to focus on fostering peace across the world.
"We need to try to figure out how to make peace among the different religions," he said. If there's no peace among religions, there's no peace among the people."
Senate creates Equitable Elections Fund
▶ CONNER MITCHELL @connermitchellO
Student Senate announced the creation of the Equitable Elections Fund in a news release on Friday, which will potentially ease the financial burden on coalitions during the Senate election process.
KU
The fund, paid for by donor gifts, will allow coalitions to be supplemented with up to $700 of the $1,000 election spending cap, according to the release. As long as a coalition raises $300 on its own and complies with Student Senate Elections Code, it is eligible to receive money from the fund.
How much money a coalition receives is based on a
According to the release, the fund will help advocate for broader participation in the student government process and allow all student voices to be heard.
"A student government that serves all students should allow the participation of all students,"student body president Stephonn Alcorn said in the release.

The fund will exist independently of Student Senate, the release said, and will be housed through University Endowment and distributed through the Office of Student
Affairs. Final details will be finalized and announced in the coming weeks, and the fund will be available for the next Senate election in April.

Douglas County free of Zika, officials say
▶ TANNER HASSELL
@thassell17
Despite being listed as a "hotspot" county for the mosquito known to transmit the Zika virus, Douglas County has been Zika-free as the weather gets cooler and mosquito season comes to a close.
Associated Press Despite earlier health concerns, Douglas County officials now say the county is no longer at risk of Zika virus.
Sonia Jordan, communicable disease and preparedness specialist at the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department, said that while there have been reported cases in the state, Lawrence and the rest of the county have had no reported localized cases or cases brought in by people traveling to Zika-affected areas.
and other severe problems.
According to the CDC several counties in eastern Kansas, including Douglas County, are hotspots for the variety of mosquitoes with the ability to carry and transmit the virus. The two varieties of mosquito known to carry the disease are Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus.
"We've had no reported cases in Douglas County, and all of the reported cases in the state have been a result of traveling to areas where the virus is present," she said.
The virus, which gets its name from the Zika Forest in Uganda where it was first discovered in 1947 presents symptoms such as fever, rash and muscle pain, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
Zika is transmittable via infected mosquitoes, as well as sexual activity. The virus is particularly dangerous for pregnant women, as the the virus can infect fetuses, causing microcephaly, impairment of growth, eye defects, hearing deficits,

Health Center, said the area could be at a higher risk of vector borne cases if the virus were to spread further in the U.S., but will be at less of a risk with cooler weather just around the corner.
Dr. Douglas Dechairo, chief of staff at Watkins
"We're concerned that the hotspot map is misleading people to believe that we are a Zika hotspot, when it actually means that we are a hotspot for the type of mosquito known to carry the virus," she said.
Jordan said the "hotspot listing" is a bit of a misnomer, as it does not mean the virus is present in the area.
"As we get into colder weather in the coming months, the mosquito population won't be active. Places like Florida, which is where the only vector-borne cases have been recorded in the U.S., will continue to face that risk throughout the year," he said.
To combat contraction and the spread of the virus, Jordan said using a bug spray with DEET and wearing clothes that cover more of the body are key. She said those who are sexually active should be aware of the risks.
"For the KU population specifically, kids traveling to Zika-affected areas out of country, or even in the U.S., during winter or spring break could potentially transport the virus," she said.
Jordan said winter will, in a sense, hit the reset button on any vector-borne risk for Lawrence, however students traveling to warmer areas during breaks will continue to be at risk of contracting the virus.
Dechairo said international students from affected areas and study abroad students staying in affected areas could also potentially bring the virus into Lawrence.
"Sexually active populations, like those on college campuses, need to be aware that you can spread the virus, even if you haven't experienced any symptoms. If students have traveled to areas where Zika is being spread and are concerned about any mosquito bites they may have or if they are feeling a little under the weather, we would advise them to see their health care providers," she said. "It's important to know that even if you haven't experienced any symptoms you could still be carrying the virus."
Dechairo said students with any concerns about the virus, or who fear they may have contracted the virus, can visit the Watkins Health Center or the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department with
Grant will help Kansans with disabilities
▶ HAILEY DIXON
@_hailey_dixon
The University recently received a grant to improve the lives of individuals with disabilities after a proposal was submitted to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"KU was named the designated agent for the state of Kansas to be able to submit a proposal to the CDC," said Jean Hall, director of the Institute for Health and Disability Policy Studies at the University.
According to Hall, the program will be called the Kansas Disability and Health Program.
"We submitted a proposal in April and were notified that we received funding in June," Hall said. "Kansas is one of 19 states that received funding from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to improve the health of people with mobility limitations and intellectual disabilities."
"This is important for people with disabilities of all ages," said Dot Nary, assistant research professor and advisor for AbleHawks and Allies. "For KU students with disabilities, these issues are important because they will need to have some level of health if they are to have the professional careers that a college degree will open up to them."
The program's mission is to "improve the health of all Kansans with disabilities," according to information from the Kansas Disability Health Program.
"The Kansas Disability and Health Program will address the problems of lack of inclusion and accessibility in public health programs and existence of significant health disparities
Hall said the program is going to last for five years.
for people with disabilities, especially those with mobility limitations and/or intellectual and developmental disabilities."
In particular, Hall said the program will work with a large network of partners and at multiple levels. It hopes to improve physical activity access, opportunities and supports, improve oral health knowledge and system capacity, and improve knowledge of and access to good nutrition.
With help from the grant and from the University, Hall and others are promoting activities for individuals with disabilities.
The grant is not only for college campuses, according to Hall. Hall's role is to ensure that the program is meeting its annual goals and that it is collecting sufficient data to measure progress.
"Basically, we are undertaking activities across the state to address improving physical activity, oral health, and nutrition for people with disabilities," she said. "Our goal is to improve health outcomes for all Kansans with disabilities, but particularly those

Hall has high hopes for the grant across the state of Kansas, beyond the Lawrence and University community.
"Our hope is that KU students, faculty and staff with disabilities will benefit from the grant just as other Kansans with disabilities," she said. "Ultimately, if Kansans with disabilities are healthier, the entire state benefits."

The KU Memorial Union organization is
planning to renovate the Kansas Union, but students will have to approve an increased fee for the plans to become a reality.
Thursday evening, the Union advisory committee unveiled "Redo Your U," a collection of potential concepts and illustrations to revitalize the Kansas Union.
The Union directors, Lisa Kring and David Mucci, said that student advisory boards have voiced concerns regarding access to light, accessibility and usage of the Union facilities.
"[The Union is] in need of greater connection, open brighter spaces, access to student services, improved energy efficiency and newer infrastructure," Kring said during the presentation.
Some possibilities that were presented included transforming the lobby into a "lively club venue" with a goal of creating a "game day hub."
The advisory committee also wants to make the Student Involvement and Leadership Center, along with Student Senate offices,
more immediately visible.
Upgrades to the Union's dining facilities were also proposed. A renovation of the dining area on the third floor would convert it to an "attractive, flexible gathering site." Kring said during her presentation.
The advisory committee also spoke about ways to engage traffic on Jayhawk Boulevard to direct more students inside the facility.
[The
[The Union is] in need of greater connection, open brighter spaces, access to student services, improved energy efficiency and newer infrastructure."
Lisa Kring Union director
The renovations would require a referendum to increase student fees by $50 for the 2020 fiscal year. The fee will be voted on in February, as student leaders continue to promote the project over the course of the semester.
In comparison to the other six Regents institutes, the University has the lowest Union fee at $59.70. Emporia State has the highest with $233 in total union fees. The referendum would make the University the fourth most expensive at $109.70.
For many years, students have worked together with faculty, voicing their concerns in effort to modernize the union, Kring said.
"With 1.9 million users per year, the Union is the University's community center," Kring said.
Student leaders Chance Maginness and Rachel Asbury presented the campaign. The committee has plans to hold more meetings in the future to talk about the plans in more detail.
Maginness said he hopes the new renovations will be indicative of the University's reputation.
"We're doing all these things to make sure that KU leads the world, like it always has," Maginness said.

Adamson: Sexual harassment is never funny
- LAUREN ADAMSON
@LeAdamson
F
Friday was just like every other night out in Lawrence. It was the beginning of a new school year, and I was excited to be back, excited to be with my friends again and excited to meet new people.
When a friend and I walked into a bar and headed for the restroom, I was entirely unsurprised when a complete stranger grabbed my friend by the hand and immediately squeezed her ass. I was, however, a bit surprised (and thoroughly impressed) when she turned around and confronted him about it. She asked him why he thought it would be okay to touch a
stranger. He laughed.
Apparently, the joke got funnier when, two hours later, the same friend and I left a different bar and the exact same guy did exactly the same thing, to me this time.
It was also funny when, in the mid-80s, my mother walked into a bar and was bitten on the ass, "just to get [her] attention." It was hilarious when, 30 years later, a stranger sat on my friend's lap as a way of introducing himself. And it was hysterical when a regular at the restaurant I worked at told me he was, "glad that you're back, because the attractiveness of the staff really declined while you were gone."

But how much of this is effective in combating the cultural assumption that women can be objectified in everyday activities?
We have all heard the stat: one in five women gets sexually assaulted during their time in school. The University recently enacted new policies and created groups to prevent sexual violence at school. We have a Sexual Assault Prevention and Education Center. We have new policies that dictate how the University handles cases of sexual assault and violence. We
It seems to me that there is a small jump from an invasion of privacy played off as funny to an act of sexual violence. While the man I encountered was not violent, he clearly does not know that it is unacceptable to touch someone without their permission. He does not know that he ruined our evening. He does not know the impact his action had on how comfortable I feel while going out.
He and many others like him do not know where the line is.
Unfortunately, Friday was just like every other night. When sexual harassment destroys the enjoyment of an evening, it isn't funny. It makes men and women feel unsafe, and it can make an individual doubt his or her intelligence or self-worth because of the unwanted attention they have been given.
Harassment, from anyone and towards anyone, subtle or overt, isn't funny.

Foster: Apathy among youth voters dangerous
Maryann
▶ KAITLYN FOSTER
@qreocity
Are you an energy voter?
Do you even vote?
If you've watched much of the election coverage this past year, chances are you've heard the first question too many times and the second not enough.
In a commercial sponsored by the American Petroleum Institute, a deliberately diverse group of
men, women, average Joes and businesspeople profess their dedication for voting based on candidates' levels of support for American production of oil and natural gas.
At one point, the ad features a man gesturing authoritatively and saying "jobs."
This commercial and many others like it reflect one of the problems of the American electorate today. Instead of choosing a candidate based on an overall evaluation of their qualifications and positions on issues, more and more voters now select based on party alone, according to a study by Assistant Professor Patrick Miller. Others vote because of a single issue, like
non-renewable energy.
The most pressing problem for young Americans, though, is how politically apathetic we have become. In Kansas, the U.S. Census Bureau reports that 87.6 percent of Kansans over 65 were registered to vote in 2012 while those 18-24 were registered at a rate less than half of that figure. When election day came, as well, the over-65s in Kansas outshone their younger counterparts as did the 18-24 age group nationwide.
You may believe your vote won't matter in a state that has voted so solidly in one direction for decades, and if your goal is to affect the election as a whole, you may be right. FiveThirtyEight, a popular statistics
hub for American elections ran by Nate Silver, puts Kansas at 0.2 in the Voter Power Index (VPI), meaning a Kansas voter is 0.2 times more likely to change the outcome of the entire election than the average voter. Swing state Nevada currently rests at 4.2 in the VPI.
However, by failing to vote, you, at the least, fail to have your voice heard and, at the worst, become cynical about American democracy. The election process has many flaws, but without voters like us, nothing can change.
Young people not voting affects us at a much higher level than the individual. When we collectively decide not to go to the polls,
The last day to register to vote in time to participate in the general election is Oct. 18. Vote, and make your voice heard.
politicians learn they can concentrate their election efforts elsewhere without a big loss in supporters, and as a bonus, they don't have to cater to our demands once in office in order to get re-elected.
To increase our relative power, address flaws in the electoral system and get our issues on the debate floor, the most visible and concrete method is the voting booth.

Alumna finds success with body painting
OMAR SANCHEZ
@OhMySanchez
For Elsa Rhae, body painter and 2013 University graduate in film and media studies, her senior year involved one fateful decision: which elective to take in order to fulfill her degree.
It is a common dilemma at the University. Her final choice, a stage makeup course, would lead her into a new career path. She said the kit she was required to buy for class hooked her.
"It was the kit," Rhae said. "We had to buy that kit. Full of really not-that-quality makeup, but I never really had anything like it."
During her time in the stage makeup class, Rhae would take the class's required and use them at home for her own projects.
up other makeup looks on the internet" and try to create characters based off what she saw.
And from then on, she aspired to make the most of what she had. Rhae, a Lenexa native, said she would "go home and look
To this day, she remembers doing a sunflower design on her forehead, one of the first times she tried to body paint with the kit.
Then, the idea came to her to show others what she was doing. She already had a YouTube channel - a longtime passion of hers - she would use what she learned from her film courses and combine that with her newfound love for painting.
"I was like, Hey, I bet I could take this platform and combine it with this platform, tie that together and turn it into something that I can make revenue off of," Rhae said.
Jump to May of 2014. Rhae has a small following of a few hundred subscribers on YouTube, but a video inspired by her interest in "Game of
Thrones" would soon go viral. The video currently sits at over 300,000 views.
Now at 126,000 subscribers and counting, Rhae attributes her success to thinking out of the box and sticking to what she wants to do, not what the popular trends are.
"Whether it makes me more popular or not, it makes me enjoy it more," Rhae said.
Molly Munyan, a balloon artist and friend of Rhae's, said that as a collaborator, Rhae also shows a quality of trust in her work and reliability that she will deliver each time she does something new.
Rhae and Munyan are current Kansas City residents that met through mutual friends, they've bonded professionally and
"That's one of the best things about my friendship with Elsa as an artist," Munyan said. "I don't need to worry about the end product."
personally because of an equal desire to shine a new light on their forms of art.
"We work really well together because we are both similarly trying to take back our art forms from fat old men," Munyan said jokingly. "Normally, people think about face paint and they think about some old lady doing it at a birthday party. Likewise with balloons. We both have a very strong opinion on the fact that it's not a lame art form."
To further prove this point, Rhae and Munyan said they plan on going on a trip this November to Thailand to show their work to new cultures.
"We've realized that the crowd reactions to both our art forms is kind of universal, and regardless of where you are and where you're from, it's really cool to see a painted woman," she said.
Besides body paint, Rhae said she wants to
further expand her artistic reach on all social media and online platforms. She already has had a hand with a variety of murals and paintings on her YouTube channel in addition to the body paint, but she plans on adding elements like jewelry making and cake decorating to her work.
Even outer space exploration is something Rhae wants to one day bring into the mix.
"But in like 30 years," Rhae said.
For Rhae, the reason for doing all this is simple. Creativity and art is understood in just about every corner of the earth, a big reason traveling is something on her mind for the future.
"We can create laughter and smiles with face paint and balloons regardless of age, gender, language," Rhae said. "That's why traveling would be amazing. I could spread creativity anywhere."

Artist aims to save trees through workshops
▶ SAMANTHA SEXTON
@Sambiscuit
A ravenous wood-boring beetle is devouring ash trees in Kansas and surrounding states, but some students and instructors in the University's visual arts department are trying to help.
The ash trees face a 100 percent mortality rate once they are infected with the unstoppable beetle, said Matthew Burke, an associate professor in the Department of Visual Art.
Despite the trees' slim chances, Jim Rogers, a visiting artist from Massachusetts, has been teaching University students to construct information kiosks that aim to help inform Kansans about the issues of the ash and how they may
"We have a large population of ash trees in this area that may soon become extinct," Burke said. "There's very little that can be done about it."
be able to help.
"Once a tree is infected, it has to be cut down or the beetle can spread," Rogers said. "We've been using a lot of that local lumber to construct the kiosks which will hopefully go back to help."
Burke was approached last semester by Ryan Armbrust, a Kansas Forest Service assistant forester, who had a three-fold plan for how he wanted the kiosks made.
Burke was more than happy to help and has even made the workshops a component of the sustainability class that he teaches every fall. Rogers was also able to help teach how to use repurposed lumber, something he has plenty of experience with.
"He wanted the lumber to be locally sourced, built within a learning environment locally and to educate locals how they could help themselves," Burke said.
"It's always best when
you can use local lumber," Rogers said. "I prefer to use wood from trees that had to be removed regardless, whether they were in the way of a power line or other construction."
Rogers said one of his clients in Massachusetts has to remove an old oak from his yard that he had spent the past 30 years looking at. When Rogers returns from Kansas, the tree will be cut down and repurposed into a kitchen table for the client.
While Rogers has been teaching the workshops, 75 students have volunteered their time to learn and help with the project and though Rogers' visit is coming to a close, Burke will have scheduled time when students, regardless of major, will be allowed to continue to build the kiosks.
"We want to build six kiosks," Rogers said. "If we get the same sort of participation that we've been seeing, they should be done in
a little over a week."
Though this year's project is for a good cause, Burke said that the visiting artist program typically allows for more engaged students and a healthier learning environment.
environment within the department that helps students to click with the concepts and grow as artists.
We have a large population of ash trees in this area that may soon become extinct. There's very little that can be done about it."
Matthew Burke Associate professor
"When the ash is cut down, a greater variety of vegetation is put in its place to diversify and strengthen the health of the ecosystem," Burke said. "The same sort of concept can be applied to visiting artists."
Burke said that the program allows for a diverse
"Students will get used to the way I teach after a week and a few may not like it or recognize their ability because of how I instruct," Burke said. "But when we bring in someone new, not only does it show how their education here can be used later in life, but it gives those students an opportunity to maybe connect with someone and experience the art in a new way."
Rogers said that he hopes to come back to the University next year if possible. Any student who might want to help with the kiosks can contact Professor Burke or check the Department of Visual Art's available workshops for other projects.

Assistant Director of Bands, Sharon Toulouse, became interested in conducting during her time as assistant band director at Free State High School.

@L0neWOlfMcQuade
Just like anything, music is something that takes passion to succeed in for a prolonged time. Sharon Toulouse, assistant director of the University's bands, has never lost this passion since she developed it as a child in Corpus Christi, Texas.
Toulouse's mother, who was also her preschool music teacher, introduced her to the trumpet at the age of 4. At the moment Toulouse heard the sound her mother was able to make with the instrument, she knew that's what she wanted to play.
"My family is very involved with music," Toulouse said. "My dad is an organist and my mom is an elementary music teacher, so I grew up with music in my household."
Once she began high school, Toulouse joined her school's band. She also played in the Texas All-State Band, which is where
her move to the University was initially sparked.
"Bob Foster, who was the director of bands [at the University], was also an arranger and composer," Toulouse said. "My dad, at the time, was doing music engraving and was engraving one of [Foster's] pieces for publication."
After her father mentioned to Foster that she recently made the Texas All-State Band, he offered her a visit to the University. The visit convinced her to attend the University, where she would receive her undergraduate degree in 1998.
"When I was teaching public school, I was really enjoying the conducting side, the physical side, so I started asking questions
Toulouse then began working at Free State High School in Lawrence as the assistant band director. During that time, she became more interested in another part of music performance; conducting.
about a degree in conducting," Toulouse said.
As a result, Toulouse returned to the University to earn a master's degree in instrumental wind conduction. While completing her master's, Toulouse joined the 312th Army Band in Lawrence as a member of the Army Reserves.
After finishing her master's degree, Toulouse auditioned for, and received, a position with the Army Band as an active duty member. She worked with the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command Band at Fort Monroe, Va., and the U.S. Army Field Band at Fort Meade, MD. During this time, she hung up her trumpet and began conducting.
Toulouse left the Army Band in 2011 due to the birth of her son and she joined the Washington National Guard.
"I would've moved all over," Toulouse said of her leaving the Army Band. "I could've been in Germany,
I could've been in Korea, I could've been in all these different places, and that didn't suit well for a family."
She returned to the University in 2012 and took on her current role as the assistant director of bands where she conducts the University Band and the Men's Basketball Band.
The Director of the Marching Jayhawks, Matthew Smith, said Toulouse has been a great member of their band faculty who goes above and beyond in her position.
"Whereas many people in her type of position have a more limited experience, Sharon possesses a personal knowledge of the history of our band program at KU, and draws from her time working with military bands to provide us with a unique skill set," Smith said.

A row of Kansas students clap along to the fight song prior to kickoff against Ohio on Sept. 10.
Hardy: False hope reigns in football student section
CHRISTIAN HARDY
@ByHardy
The first boos came with 11:38 left to play in the second quarter, with Kansas losing to Ohio 22-0. The three student sections on the East side of Memorial Stadium were nearly full.
After a week when hope — even confidence — in the football program was the highest it has been since the David Beaty era began in 2015, when Kansas was favored for the third time in three years, when students painted "UNDEFEATED" and "WE [heart] DAVID BEATY" on their chests, the boos came less than 15 minutes into the game.
Then, just five minutes later, the 28,467 people at Memorial Stadium had some hope. LaQvionte Gonzalez returned a kick 99 yards for the first Kansas score of the night to make it 25-7. Ohio went three-and-out on its next possession. Gonzalez stepped back to receive the punt.
"We've got this. This is Texas State all over again," a student said, leaning on Ohio's Week 1 double-overtime loss.
That glimmer of hope was extinguished fast. Gonzalez fumbled the punt. Ohio went up 28-7. The dozen-some cheerleaders pleaded with the student section. Only a few clapped along.
"And just like that..." another student trailed off. He never finished his thought, but it was clear. Just like that, after a week when Kansas football reigned after its first win in almost two years, it fell from grace.
With two minutes left in the half and Kansas down 21 points, two guys in polo shirts and khaki shorts stood in the student section. One turned to his friend. "Wanna go?" Without hesitation, his friend replied, "Yes."
This was a game Kansas could win. It didn't seem that way at the beginning of the season, but it felt that way after Kansas clobbered Rhode Island, 55-6 in Week 1, and, by kick-off, Kansas was favored by 2.5 points across every betting site. Kansas fans could be cautiously optimistic about their football team.
But when the team returned from halftime, about half of the student section had left - the
crowd was splotchy beyond the first few rows. Much of the West side was gone, too. Kansas had totaled 21 yards to Ohio's 359. Thirty minutes in and close to half of the crowd had lost any faith in Kansas football.
But everyone left in the student section rose to their feet for the second half.
On the second play of the second half, quarterback Montell Cozart found wide receiver Steven Sims Jr. for a 74-yard touchdown. The Bobcats went three-and-out on their next drive and Gonzalez was back to return the punt.
"If they win this," one student said as Kansas was set to receive the ball, "that will be awesome."
Gonzalez muffed the punt. Ohio recovered.
Three plays later, Ohio chipped in another field goal to make it 31-14. By then, more students had left, but most who stayed were in it for the long haul. They started to fill in the gaps in the lower half of the section.
The optimists met reality Saturday Kansas football is still building, in the infant stages of competing in Division I college football."
But the Jayhawks kept giving fans a reason to keep faith. When Fish Smithson pulled in an interception three plays later, another student, sipping out of a Kansas souvenir cup, said to himself, "Just watch. We'll win this." Kansas was still down 31-21, but the crowd was its loudest. The stands were half full.
It went on like this through the third quarter. When Kansas went 76 yards in five plays for a touchdown to make it 31-21 and it went to official review, the students held their hands upright to signal a touchdown. When Ohio converted 4th-and-3 at Kansas' 30 yard-line, a student in an Andrew Wiggins jersey shirt buried his head in his hands and laughed. How funny, that he'd ever had hope in this team.
Those still left stayed after Kansas was stopped on 3rd-and-2 with 13:34 left in the game and
Cozart lying injured on the Memorial Stadium turf, but over the next 13 minutes, hope in Memorial Stadium slowly ticked away with time. Kansas was down two possessions, and Ohio used 18 plays to run off 10:03.
With 2:28 left, the few hundred students left stood shading their faces as the sun fell behind the scholarship suites. They watch sophomore quarterback Ryan Willis get hit hard as he threw, then sacked on the next play.
The "UN" and "ED" had put their shirts on. Now "UNDEFEATED" just spelled "DEFEAT."
The optimism that had built up after Week 1 was fragile. There was little hope left as Kansas took a timeout with 2:19 to play. Willis threw an interception that all but ended the game.
"Time to go home and do homework," someone said.
"I'm going to be so sunburnt," one of the letters in "UNDEFEATED" said before snapping a photo and filing out with the rest of the student section. Ohio took a timeout with four seconds. The band played a song to an empty stadium.
The whistle blew to continue play. Fourteen security guards stood lazily between the student section and the field, with no real reason to be there. No one was going to rush the field after this game.
Kansas football lost again, 37-21. A win a week ago made Kansas fans optimistic about their football program again. The optimists met reality Saturday — Kansas football is still building, in the infant stages of competing in Division I college football, even with mid-major football programs.
"There was definitely more excitement [this week], and definitely a [feeling] that we can be good," Smithson said after the game. "That's what makes it really hard. We didn't play to the standard that we're capable of playing... That's a tough feeling."
When it ended, the fight song rang through the stadium. No one entertained the idea of singing along.
"You know, it's hard to win a college football game," Beaty said after the Week 1 win. "I don't care who you're playing."
Kansas football fans should remember that.

Kelsie Payne stars in Kansas' win over Northern Iowa
PAYNE 8
Baxter Schanze/KANSAN
Freshman Zoe Hill and junior Kelsie Payne go up for a block against Northern Iowa. The Jayhawks won 3-0.
JORDAN WOLF
@jordanWolfKU
Kelsie Payne took over Saturday night for Kansas volleyball. The senior middle blocker stole the show in Kansas three-set win over Northern Iowa.
Payne led the way for the Jayhawks with a game-high 25 kills en route to a 26-24, 25-17, 25-23 sweep over the Panthers.
The 25 kills were also a season-high performance for Payne, who was humble in her success after the game.
"My defenders behind me dug everything up perfectly, and Ainise [Havili] of course is an amazing setter so she puts the ball right where I need it and it helps a lot," Payne said.
With the win, the Jayhawks advanced to 9-0 and kept their undefeated season alive. Coach Ray Bechard commended the efforts of the team, both competitively and passionately.
"I thought the effort tonight, the energy, was good, and I thought we had as much fun playing as we have all year," Bechard said. "And when the kids understand that's the important part of it, that helps."
The first set was a tight contest, as the Jayhawks battled back from an early deficit to take a 20-15 lead. Despite it seeming like the
Jayhawks would take the first set easily at that point, the Panthers were able to go on a run and force the set into overtime.
Even though the Panthers had tied it 24-24, the Jayhawks did not show signs of weakness. A pair of back-to-back thunderous kills by Payne allowed them to take the first set.
In the second set, the Jayhawks coasted. They controlled the set, winning it 25-17 behind strong defensive play. In the third, however, Northern Iowa followed the precedent set earlier in the match and came back. At one point, they held an 18-15 lead, but the Jayhawks kept their heads in the fight and were able to pull out the
match set 25-23.
This recurring trend of streaky scoring and numerous lead changes was consistent throughout the match. It seemed as though a majority of the scoring came from one team making a long run, followed by the other coming back with a run of their own. While it certainly was frustrating to not get the offense
This game was the third in as many days for Kansas. After taking on Creighton and Chattanooga in Omaha,
going at times, Bechard's Jayhawks were able to come out on top.
"UNI wanted to stick around and play for a couple hours, and we just didn't want to do that," Bechard said.
"I thought the effort tonight, the energy, was good, and I thought we had as much fun playing as we have all year. And when the kids understand that's the important part of it, that helps."

Nebraska on Thursday and Friday, the team was fresh off a long road trip for Saturday's game. Luckily, they were able to stay composed through a hectic stretch of the schedule.
"We took it one game at a time," Payne said. "We make sure we are rested, hydrated, all that stuff, and gave each team the best focus that we could."
As they close out the non-conference portion of their schedule, winning games like these will be pivotal towards Kansas' long term success. A talented mid-major at the end of a road trip may sound like the definition of a trap game, but the Jayhawks were able to steer clear of any potential trouble and come out on top.
Kansas stumbles against creative Ohio offense
BRIAN MINI
@BriganMinimum
In the past, Kansas football has talked about mirroring Chip Kelly's Oregon offense. On Saturday, it looked more like the Jayhawks were playing against it.
Ohio's use of the option, misdirection, and a generally powerful offense could have been mistaken for the dominant Oregon Ducks.
At halftime the 28-7 score was just slightly better than the 359-21 yard differential. Ohio's senior quarterback Greg Windham had already accrued
110 rushing yards before the first half had ended.
"We prepared for the running backs and they came out with a lot of quarterback runs," senior linebacker Marquis Roberts said.
It's not as if punt coverage didn't put the defense in a favorable position. In limited Ohio to an average of 18 return yards, which gave the defense a good starting point that they were unable to take advantage of.
Despite the gaudy offensive numbers, on the rare chance Kansas had figured out what Ohio was doing, Kansas' defense came out
on top. Kansas ended up with a whopping 14 tackles for loss as it occasionally was able to sneak by the otherwise strong offensive line of Ohio.
Things started to change with the start of the second half, however. The Jayhawks scored more points in the first five minutes of the second half than they did in the first two quarters combined.
After a long touchdown pass to sophomore wide receiver Steven Sims Jr., Kansas had the lead cut down to two touchdowns and the defense responded with a three-and-out thanks to
a couple drops. The stop didn't result in much as junior wide receiver LaQuvionte Gonzalez promptly gave the ball back with a fumble.
"There were three turnovers that occurred in our own end," coach David Beaty said about the bad field position the defense was put in.
Luckily, the defense was there again and only allowed a field goal. "That could have been much worse than it was," Beaty said.
The trend of relying on the defense to bail out the stagnant offense was something that the Jayhawks did a lot of last year and resulted in a winless season.
One defensive player who seemed to step up during the second half was a linebacker who sat out the opener against Rhode Island. Roberts finished the game with 10 tackles, two for a loss and a crucial tipped pass on third down that was inches away from being an interception.
One glaring difference from the first half was pressure on the quarterback. Although the Jayhawks didn't finish with a single sack, pressure increased heavily thanks to hurries by sophomore tackle Daniel Wise, among others.
Despite the increased level of play, the Jayhawks still let Ohio hold the ball for too long, as the visitors' 43:52 time of possession ultimately doomed Kansas in the 37-21 loss.
Beaty called Saturday's loss "one of those games" where the team will have a lot to learn from the tape.
Next week, the Kansas defense will hope a Paxton Lynch-less Memphis will run a more predictable offense.

IF YOU DO NOTHING ELSE,
TRY EVERYTHING!
BY DARRA STUART
Ugh, you read the title, and yeah, it's very trite. I know, you've read the articles about getting authentic experiences, like going to that little corner coffee shop that is only found on such and such street, and everybody knows that new experiences come with the territory of studying abroad. You know that. I know that. So, let's talk about doing everything, and what that means.
Now I'm not talking about going to Europe and having to see every single major capital. I'm not talking about always saying yes to going out, or whatever it is that you think that will make your trip. What I'm talking about is taking every opportunity to try something new. With little exception, people who study abroad are generally interested in more than just going out. We chose the places we go for the culture, the language, the food, the classes offered. So, if you are going to put yourself out there, and move somewhere new, my advice to you is this: If You Do Nothing Else, Try Everything.
What does that mean? Read your local newspaper. Is there a FREE movie in the park? Go. Is there an opportunity to take a cooking class? Go. Activities on your campus? Go. Are you sensing a theme here? There are so many cultural opportunities available for you to discover, and the great thing is most of them are free.
I understand that there will be days where you feel like you can't say another word to these strangers that you have chosen to live among. I understand that there will be days where all you can do is watch Netflix.
I understand that there are days where you need to be alone as you muddle through culture shock or missing home or whatever it is. Those days happen. And that's ok. But for the most part you are young, and you are free, and you can explore. And you should. Just by paying attention to what was going on around me, I was able to join free mountain climbing excursions, free athletic activities, I learned how to cook a local dish, and I
went to concerts. Just by listening to what people were saying and being willing to try something new I had so many wonderful opportunities open up for me.
You are probably wondering how I joined those activities after I found them. Because I also understand that this is the most difficult part. You know how English accents are dreamy? And French ones sound so posh? Guess what! Those funny accents are you now. Most people are very welcoming of foreign students joining in on things because they are as interested in you as you are in them. It can be hard to put yourself out there but if you do you will learn things you never knew about yourself. So, gather up just a little bit of courage, remember you wanted to get out there, and that adventure doesn't have to be the next country over. You picked your new home for a reason, why not get out there and discover it? You have to create those memories somehow! My recommendation? If you do nothing else, try everything!

THE FOOD OF COSTA RICA:
CENTRAL AMERICA'S BEST-KEPT SECRET
BY MICHAEL ARNOLD
I love Mexican food. I love Spanish paella. I really love that one Venezuelan restaurant in Kansas City. But nothing could have prepared me for how infatuated I would become with Costa Rican food while studying there with Grupo de Kansas in the spring. Not only did I eat at nice restaurants, both with local food as well as other international cuisine, but I had the opportunity to eat my host mom's home-cooked meals on a daily basis. If there is one thing that the Grupo de Kansas host moms know how to do, it is cook.
+
My very first day in Costa Rica I arrived to my host family's house to a plate full of food. It was funny how before I ever left the States I was warned about how I would have to suffer through seven straight months of just rice and beans. That could not have been more incorrect, and the rice and beans that I did eat were the best I had ever had!
I think one of the most effective tips that I could provide to any student considering a semester in Costa Rica would be to suggest some of my favorite foods and meals that I had during
PACIFIC CITY MARKET
my time abroad. First of all, if you are a spicy food lover, ask for chile on everything. It is frequently homemade, and it adds a fair amount of spice to whatever you add it to. As for specific foods, it is always beneficial to experience new things, and Costa Rica has some foods that do not even exist here at home. For example, there is a sweet fruit called guanabana that is made into a sweet juice, and a vegetable called elote that is similar to baby corn, both of which will be new foods that you can cross off your bucket list.
Some of my favorite meals included patacones, a smashed and fried plantain, yuca frita, a fried yucca root that is a (better) replacement for french fries, and sopa negra, a black bean soup that is made from the water used to soak and cook black beans. Finally, and my favorite of all, is a side dish called a "picadillo" that can be cooked with any vegetable you like, such as green beans, corn, yucca, etc. and mixed with a special combination of spices, meat, and other miscellaneous ingredients. The picadillo I loved the most was made with potatoes.
PICADILLO DE PAPAS
INGREDIENTS
- 1 kilo diced potatoes
- 1/2 kilo ground beef
- 1 onion chopped
- 1/2 sweet chili diced
- 1/2 roll diced cilantro
- pepper and oregano to taste
- 2 diced garlic cloves
- 2 cubes chicken consumé
- oil
- 2 crushed tomatoes
--about voting," Kobach said.
DIRECTIONS
In a pot, cook the onion in the oil, and slowly add in the chili, garlic, and oregano. Add the potatoes and mix well. Let the mixture sit briefly and stir in the consummé, beef, and tomato. Continue stirring and little by little the pepper, half of the cilantro, and a little bit of water. Put a lid on the pot, keep on a flame and let sit. Continue to check on the picadillo until the potatoes can be penetrated easily by a fork. Add the last half of the cilantro at the end. Happy cooking and happy eating!

LOOKING FOR A UNIQUE LOCATION TO STUDY ABROAD?
CHECK OUT PROGRAMS IN ONE OF THESE LESS-TRAVELED DESTINATIONS
BULGARIA
This country that sounds like you could be trying to pronounce the name of your lunch meat with a mouthful is actually a hidden gem among Eastern Europe. Because tourists are not flooding into Bulgaria, the country maintains a fairly cheap currency when compared to surrounding countries or the U.S. The affordability makes it that much easier to visit historically rich monasteries, mountain vistas, theaters dating back to 117 A.D., and the unexpectedly beautiful seaside beaches. Programs available through KU ISEP Exchange and Direct
ICELAND
Break out of the trite, routine nightlife of studying abroad by spending your semester under the Northern Lights in Iceland. The dancing green lights can be seen under the clear, dark sky outside of the capital city of Reykjavik. Although the lights are only visible for 15-20 minutes per night, the rest of your program will be filled with plenty more adventures, like dog sledding, glacier hiking and snowmobile expeditions. Programs available through KU, SIT, API, and Reykjavik University
In this stable Southern African country, the tranquility of nature can be holistically experienced by stepping out your front door or going on a tour with some of the world's best guides. Once your study abroad program in Botswana has ended, you'll find yourself missing the heavy sounds of elephants passing by and the sight of zebras migrating through Makgadikgadi and Nxai Pan National Parks in early November.
Programs available through CIEE and KU ISEP Direct
BOTSWANA
Volcanoes? Check. Beautiful Colonial streets? Check. Incredible beaches? Check. Coffee plantations? Check. Rainforests? Check. Indigenous culture? Check.. In fact, we're not sure why we're not in Nicaragua right now.
Programs available through KU, ISEP Direct, and SIT
NICARAGUA
PERU
Students choose not to study in Peru for a long list of reasons—the beautiful bright green of the Amazon Rainforest could hurt your eyes; you might have to change up your cooking style after eating some of the best food in the world; you could miss out on the season two release of Stranger Things while you're out exploring the incredible wildlife; heel blisters from the walk to Machu Pichu; the aliens who drew the Nazca Lines could abduct you when they decide to revisit Earth. Whatever your reason is, we're pretty sure Peru would still be worth it.
Programs available through KU (Summer), CIEEM, ISA, IFSAButter, and CISAbroad
Croatia is home to more than 1,000 islands of turquoise beaches,naturally wondrous national parks, and the filming location of Game of Thrones season six. If you're still gushing over the beauty of the GoT set and are only looking forward to summer '17 for season seven-give yourself something more to be excited about by studying practically on the set of your favorite series. Programs available through KU and API
VIETNAM
Vietnam has a rich and long history preserved through traditional thought and culture for thousands of years. The country is constantly bustling with an accelerated state of development that makes it easy for visitors to enjoy the travel amenities, coffee, art and educational curriculum. Also, we hear the food is delicious. Programs available through CET, SIT, and TEAN

Indonesia beckons with the promise of endless adventures. The Southeast Asian country spans an area nearly as big as Australia, but about 80% of this is water, so the ocean in Indonesia is usually just a walk away. Explore any number of the 9,000 uninhabited Indonesian islands and easily mingle among the diverse populations of the 8,000 inhabited ones.

CUBA
Just over 100 miles from the U.S., Cuba is still far away from home culturally, linguistically, and (for now) politically. Study in Cuba during this momentous time of transition between the U.S. and Cuban governments. Cuba offers rich opportunities through its traditional music, incredible food, lively dancing, and artistic traditions. Beaches, national parks, UNESCO world heritage sites, brightly painted buildings, and classic cars beckon the curious traveler. Programs available through KU, Spanish Studies Abroad, CIEE, API, USAC, and Arcadia
With the opportunity to study abroad in nearly any country, you have the world in the palm of your hand. If you use that opportunity to study abroad to Poland, you could literally hold the fate of the world in your hands. Polish legend tells that if you climb to the top of the 20-foot guardian dragon at Wawel Castle and accidentally bring one of its bones to the ground, you will also bring the world to an end. Aside from this Central European country's entertaining folklore, Poland is featured by 23 breathtaking national parks, beautiful and colorful architecture, rich history and friendly citizens.

Choose a program in Switzerland and do more than the typical hike or beach trip on the weekends while studying abroad. Take on winter sports, climb up the Matterhorn, revive yourself in the Pfafers hot springs and—get this—spend the weekend in a hayloft instead of a hostel. Forget your house cat and cuddle with irresistibly cute farm animals on an agrotourism expedition. More than 200 Swedish farmers provide agrotourism as an alternative to the average hostel or Airnbn to help you immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Switzerland.

Finland is top ranked as one of the best countries in the world to live in for its high quality of life. Although Finland is a less common destination for American students, it has wondrous potential for those who want to experience the happiest semester of their college career. Finland hold its education to a high standard by promoting innovative teaching methods and transferrable skills and a commitment to research and development. Along with their great education, Finns also live in an impressively progressive society with very low crime rates and high gender equality.

'Guarded' highlights threat of sexual assault
Taylor Yocom's photo series, "Guarded," is on display at the Kansas Union Gallery. "Guarded" displays black and white photos of people, mainly women holding various items like keys, knives, mace, etc. that they carry to defend themselves from sexual assault.

A new photo gallery at the Kansas Union is shedding new light on the fight against sexual assault.
"Guarded," a photo series by Iowa-native Taylor Yocom, is a series of black and white photos, showing women holding various objects meant to be weapons of self-defense, such as keys, bottles and pocket knives. It is currently on display in the Kansas Union Gallery, on the fourth floor.
"I came up with the idea for 'Guarded' when I was a junior in college," Yocom said. "There were sexual assaults in the area and as a response, my female classmates and I showed each other what we had on our key chains. The men in the class were taken aback and that's how I knew I wanted to represent it visually."
The photographs come from women in
places such as Iowa City, Omaha and Chicago.
"Guarded' is a visual representation of rape culture and gender discrepancy in vulnerabilities," Yocom said. "Through photos of what female-identified people use to protect themselves with from sexual assault, I want to show how widespread rape culture actually is. Everyday objects such as keys or phones become loaded when used in this other context, shedding light on how the threat of assault is there from having to walk home at night to being at a party."
Yocom said she wants viewers to realize how prevalent the threat of sexual assault is to some people.
"When viewers see the photos, I want them to be more understanding of other people's realities," Yocom said. "I hope this series widens mindsets and speaks to how pervasive of a problem sexual assault is."
A reception was held on Sept.11 to open up
the gallery to visitors.
"We had 120 University members attend," said Jen Brockman, director of the Sexual Assault Prevention and Education Center.
Yocom also took photos of individuals while visiting campus to use in her next photo series.
"I would like to say that at the opening, I found the KU community very receptive to the
photos and I'm super thrilled with the work SAPEC and Jen Brockman is doing on campus," Yocom said.
Brockman said she is glad to have the series on campus for awhile.
"We are very excited to to bring this photo series to campus," Brockman said. "It is making a powerful dialogue."

Editor's note: Mark Johnson is the chairman of the Kansan Board of Directors.
Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach and Mark Johnson, a professor of law and journalism at the University, discussed issues of election integrity and vote suppression at the Constitution Day forum held at the Dole Institute of Politics last night. A controversial Kansas voter ID law was one of the central topics.
The discussion was moderated by law professor Stephen McAllister, who opened the forum with a question about a 2013 voter ID law that Kobach helped draft.
Throughout the night, Johnson and Kobach acknowledged they have found themselves on the opposite sides of legal proceedings regarding the voter ID law.
According to VoteKS org, voters in the state are required to bring proof of citizenship with them to polling stations. Proof of citizenship includes driver's license, state ID or passports.
"Kansas created a model for other states to follow with the voter ID law," he said. "In a manner of speaking, we took the high ground on this issue."
Kobach opened discussion of the state voting law with comments about the role of the U.S. Constitution and the states.
"The constitution would never have been ratified if it had featured more specific language about voting," Kobach said.
Kobach said that Kansas is, in a sense, leading the pack when it comes to voting integrity.

"A question that we need to keep in mind is Why were these laws created?" Johnson said. "I believe they wanted to write a voter ID law that would affect minority voters, especially in the example of the North Carolina law."
Johnson also said the voter fraud these laws would prevent isn't prominent enough to justify their implementation.
"When the legislation was presented, many Kansas Democrats in state house and senate voted for the measure. So if it was a Republican plot, they didn't get the memo," he said.
Kobach defended the law's legitimacy by saying that the legislation received bipartisan support.
"There just isn't a record that supports the articulated rationale for these laws, that they are intended to deal with voter fraud." Johnson said.
The discussion turned to topics like ease of voting and the potential for voter ID laws to create additional "hurdles," as Johnson described them.
"Whenever there are more hurdles to jump over, you are going to lose voters." Johnson said.
Both Johnson and Kobach said voting should be as simple as possible, with Kobach issuing one caveat.
"I think it needs to be easy to vote, and hard to cheat," he said.
Potter campaign blasts student interns
@lara_korte
LARA KORTE
One current and one former member of the University's Student Senate have been accused of unethical campaigning tactics by a U.S. congressional candidate.
Former Chief of Staff Adam Moon and current Journalism Senator Victoria Snitsar were among the interns that Democratic candidate Britani Potter said used aggressive tactics on behalf of Republican Rep. Lynn Jenkins, her opponent.
Potter originally voiced her complaints in the Topeka Capital-Journal where she explicitly named Moon and Snitsar as part of Jenkins' team of "personal spies."
When she spoke with the Kansan Wednesday afternoon, Potter claimed the interns followed her around the state to different campaign events, lying about their identities. She said the students claimed they were interested in helping out with her campaign, or were writing a paper for a college course.
Potter also said the interns would film her
at campaign events and record conversations with her. She said when she asked the students to talk with her after the events, the questions got "aggressive" and "nasty."
"They just kept following and there would be more of them, and it would just get more aggressive and intense as it went on," she said. "There were a couple stops where I was alone and I was concerned that someone would show up and I didn't know how aggressive they were going to get."
Jenkins' campaign manager, Lee Modesitt, told the Topeka Capital-Journal that a few of the college-age campaign staff were "overly aggressive when trying to get answers."
In an email statement to the Kansan Wednesday afternoon, Modesitt confirmed that both Moon and Snitsar were hired as interns in June of 2016, but said the two did not specifically engage in any overly aggressive tactics.
"The KU students mentioned in this article did not participate in overly aggressive campaign tactics," he said

New chief means changes for campus police
▶ CHANDLER BOESE
@Chandler_Boeese
After being officially appointed last week, the new chief of campus police is looking to make some changes.
Chief Chris Keary said he wants to streamline the office's administration and put more officers on the street. The move represents his focus on officer visibility and student protection, he said.
The office has gotten rid of their assistant chief position, which had been open since Keary was promoted to interim chief at the beginning of this year. Previous captains James Anguiano and Bobby Williams have been promoted to deputy chief positions
and will split the duties of the assistant chief between themselves and Keary. As a result, the office will be able to add another patrol officer.
"Eventually, when we get everyone hired, there will be more officers on the street, responding to calls and taking care of the University than there was before," Keary said.
Keary said this new setup will allow the administration to function more efficiently and effectively, as well as improve the Public Safety Office's visibility.
"It's always important for us to be seen," he said. "Even unconsciously, just seeing officers around will make people feel a little bit safer. That's one of the
things we like to have to make sure we have a safe community."

Anguiano said this change is about reflecting what the PSO considers important actively protecting members of the University community.
Cassidy Hintz/KANSAN Chris Keary was officially appointed chief of police last week.
"We have a good handle on the administration office, but we need a little extra hand on the street," he said. "We need to have another officer out on the street to promote visibility and help protect students, faculty and staff."
Keary, who has worked for PSO since he was an undergraduate attending the University, always emphasizes being visible and interactive with the community, Anguiano said.
"In the amount of years
that Chief Keary has been at the University, he's really emphasized that safety is a community effort," Anguiano said.
Keary said he hopes the members of the University community understand their role in helping to keep people safe.
"One of our major goals is to make sure that people understand that they are part of that answer," Keary said. "It's important that people look around, be observant, if they see something that doesn't look right, give us a call, give us a chance to look into it."
Visiting historian talks academic activism

@KansanNews
At the Commons in Spooner Hall Tuesday, Alice Dreger, a bioethicist and visiting historian of medicine and science, discussed the important findings of her bioethics research, "Good Causes, Bad Acts: Scrutinizing Ends and Means in Academic Activism," as well as some unjustified consequences at universities.
Bioethics focuses on the controversial issues that often emerge from advances in biology and medicine. Dreger's work specifically focuses on research surrounding sex, sexuality and gender.
Dreger's books address issues of gender, sexuality activism, and medical and scientific research.
Bettina Bugatto/KANSAN Bioethics Alice Dreger speaks to a crowd of people at The Commons in Spooner Hall.
Her most recent work, "Galileo's Middle Finger," explores the conflicting relationship between science and social justice.
Here are some takeaways from her talk:
The search for truth and justice
"The values that our parents really instilled in us," Dreger said. "The search for two things; one of which was searching for truth and the other for justice."
Dreger began the talk by speaking about the search for truth and justice.
Dreger went on to address the problem today.
"We have a system in America where, increasingly, the search for truth
and the search for justice are at odds with each other."
"You can't really have justice without truth," Dreger said. "And you can't really do the search for truth without justice."
Despite these conflicts, Dreger argued that both are necessary.
Politics and beliefs shouldn't overshadow research and evidence
Dreger explained that there were several times she experienced backlash for research that contradicted activist movements movements, she was
"I feel very strongly that it is important that we protect academia from having a system in which we let our politics simply rule what we deem to be true," Dreger said.
- movements she was
Dreger went on to discuss her claim that research and evidence should hold academic priority over personal beliefs and political opinions.
apart of.
She also criticized the shutdown of discussions by some students and staff who feel certain conversations should not be held because they are offensive to historically oppressed groups.
Dreger said she sees this kind of silencing of opposing voices as dangerous and counterproductive to the progress of academia.
"Our national system depends on having a place where research can be safe and looking at facts can be safe."
The University is not a corporation
The final point of Dreger's talk was that the modern university is not what it used to be.
"What we see today is that students are talked about as if they are customers," she said. "Faculty are treated as if we are salespeople... the donors treated like corporate shareholders."
Dreger said she thinks
Senate committees fail CLAS seat bill
CONNER MITCHELL
@concernmitchellO
A bill which would have potentially reapportioned seats for College and Liberal Arts and Sciences senators was debated Wednesday in the Student Rights and University Affairs Committees.
The bill required a two-thirds majority, and passed in Rights Committee by a count of 14-7. It failed the University Affairs Committee by a count of 4-11-1.
According to the bill, one-fifth of the overall CLAS seats would have gone to the At-Large section and the seats allotted to the other sections would have been determined by the enrollment headcount on the 20th day of classes.
bill author, presented the bill to Rights Committee members, saying it would divide the seats given to CLAS senators into six different categories in an effort to coordinate with academic interests.
"The whole reason why I brought up this bill is I really do feel like academic seats should correlate with academic interests, rather than how many credit hours you have," Zabel said. "As a student government, we should have representation that reflects the academic interests of the

The categories included students in arts, humanities, international studies, natural science/ mathematics, social/behavioral sciences fields, as well as At-Large seats.
"[With this bill,] we start to exclude people from being a part of Student Senate based on an arbitrary category that didn't need to be put in place in the first place," he said.

Breaking down KU's open sexual assault-related lawsuits
▶ CONNER MITCHELL @connermitchellO
Since March, three different lawsuits have been filed against the University related to its handling of sexual assault cases. Daisy Tackett and Sarah McClure, former members of the rowing team, have sued the University in their individual capacities, claiming the University created a "hostile educational environment" after they reported their alleged sexual assaults. Tackett, along with her parents and McClure's parents, filed a separate, class-action lawsuit against the University under the Kansas Consumer Protection Act, saying it misrepresented its on-campus housing as safe and secure.
JAMES TACKETT AND AMANDA TACKETT VS. UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS:
Originally Filed:
March 12, 2016
Court: Douglas County
District Court
Allegations: James and Amanda Tackett, parents of Daisy, filed a lawsuit against the University under the Kansas Consumer Protection Act, saying the University is violating the Act by representing its student housing to both students and parents as "safe," despite a knowledge of increased sexual assaults.
In June, Daisy, along with McClure and her parents, were added as plaintiffs in the complaint.
Reparations: According to the suit, the class of plaintiffs requests an injunction ordering the University to stop presenting on-campus housing as safe and secure to current and prospective students until appropriate safety and security can be demonstrated. In addition, the suit also requests a judgement declaring the University violated the Kansas Consumer Protection Act by misrepresenting the safety and security of its on-campus housing. Finally, the
suit requests an award of reasonable attorney fees to the plaintiffs, as well as other further relief the court "deems just and proper."
Status: A hearing took place Aug. 8 to determine whether the case would proceed. The decision is still under review by Douglas County District Court Judge Kay Huff. Dan Curry, who represents the Tacketts and McClures in all three cases, said rulings in cases like this can typically take several months when considering all issues brought about in the complaint.
DAISY TACKETT VS. UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS:
Originally filed:
March 21, 2016
Court: Began in Douglas County District Court, but was moved to federal court at the request of the University.
ually assaulted by a member of the football team in Jayhawker Towers. The complaint also alleges retaliatory actions by rowing team officials after learning of Tackett's report.
Allegations: The University provided a hostile educational environment for Tackett, a former rower, after she was allegedly sex-
In July, Tackett filed a motion to amend her original complaint to include new information discovered since her suit was filed in March. The information alleges the University has a policy of making female rowers attend football games and cheer on football players, as well as encouraging female athletes to attend off-campus parties meant to entertain football recruits.
Reparations: According to the complaint, Tackett seeks $75,000 in damages for attorney fees and costs of the suit, repayment of tuition and board fees, as well as any further legal and equitable relief which could be incurred.
Status: The University filed a motion to dismiss Tackett's amended complaint on Sept. 2, saying the
"new allegations appear designed to get headlines, but they have no connection to anything that happened to [Tackett]."
JANE DOE 7 VS.
UNIVERSITY OF
KANSAS:
Originally Filed: April 19,2016
Court: Began in Douglas County District Court, but was moved to federal court at the request of the University.
Allegations: Like Tackett, the plaintiff, who disclosed her identity as Sarah McClure during a June press conference, says the University created a hostile educational environment after she reported her alleged sexual assault. In addition to Title IX violations, the complaint says the University violated the Rehabilitation Act when it discriminated against McClure due to a disability.
McClure also filed an amended complaint, similar to Tackett's, also alleging official policies requiring female rowers to attend football games, as well as encouraging athletes to attend off-campus parties meant to entertain football recruits.
Reparations: According to the complaint, McClure seeks damages in an amount in excess of $75,000 for attorney fees and for actual damages, as well as any further legal and equitable relief which could be incurred. In the June press conference, McClure's father, Jim, said any money made in a potential resolution would be donated to sexual assault victims in Kansas.
Status: The University filed a motion to dismiss McClure's amended complaint Sept. 9, and in an identical manner to the motion to dismiss Tackett's amended complaint, said the "throw-away allegation[s] [are] clearly intended solely as an attempt to try this case in the press which increasingly appears to be the plaintiff's prime objective."

McCarthy: Guns will make campus less safe

@UNIVERSITY DAILYKANSAN
▶ KEVIN MCCARTHY
@kevindmccarthy
On July 1, 2017 all colleges and universities in Kansas will be required to allow students to carry concealed weapons into campus buildings unless, according to Kansas law, "such building [have] adequate security measures to ensure that no weapons are permitted to be carried into such building."
This law has created a tremendous amount of controversy since it was passed a few years ago. Proponents of the law say that it will make our state and our campuses safer. I think it will do the opposite.
Illustration by Jacob Benson
First, let's start off with the fact that 70 percent of employees surveyed in a January Board of Regents survey said guns on campus would negatively impact their teaching. This is something that shouldn't be overlooked. Professors and teachers are the foundation of higher education and their concerns should be taken seriously.
Furthermore, the fact that these survey results have been out for a while shows a complete lack of responsiveness on the part of our state government. They are supposed to be representing the will of the people, and on this issue, they have failed in that regard.
Let me be clear. I am not saying that people should not be able to carry firearms. All I am trying to say is that there is a time and place for it and college campuses are not the place.
Many first year college students deal with anxiety and depression because it is their first time living away from home. Also, college kids experiment with alcohol, drugs and other things which can often lead to poor decision making.
M
I recognize that our country is on edge lately because of the numerous shootings that have occurred but more guns is not the answer. We must find ways to solve these problems peacefully. More guns,
And we want to throw firearms into this mix?
in the hands of people who are not trained to use them, will only lead to more innocent bloodshed.
Kevin McCarthy is a senior from Lenexa studying political science, history and public policy
to deal with this problem rationally and logically. Putting firearms in the hands of college students is neither rational nor logical.
Proponents of this law, such as state Senator Forrest Knox, declare that the only way to prevent a gun incident at a school is with another gun. However, this claim is inconsistent with the facts. According to a study by the U.S. Justice Department, college students are more likely to be victims of violence off campus than on campus, where weapons are usually banned.
It is my fear that if this law is implemented, this will change.
My hope is that our state legislators will see the flaws in this legislation and make some changes to it before next summer. However, hope doesn't float. So, in order to make this happen we need to let our representatives know that this is a bad idea. If there is enough public pressure, I believe that change can happen.
It is difficult to remove emotion from the equation, but we need

Apparently my discount student ticket wasn't Gold Star Alliance enough to let me enjoy the Air France lounge at O'Hare International Airport so much for relaxing in luxury before my overnight flight to Iceland before I start my study abroad in England. Iceland is known for its beautiful green landscapes (unlike Greenland). I decided to visit for two days with some friends. Consider these experiences for your own study abroad:
Thursday
What better way to experience Iceland than a
1. Golden Circle Tour,
7 a.m. (awake for 17
hours)
driving tour of its natural wonders? Instead of paying for a bus tour, rent a car yourself. Amidst all of the confusing Icelandic brands, settle for a familiar name, like Budget rent-a-car. At Budget, you will be treated with the same quality of service as you would expect in the U.S. -charging you $80 more than you agreed to, then telling you to return it to a location that has since shut down.
Want to see an old plane wreck? This sight off the beaten path is located two hours from downtown Reykjavik. Although some websites describe the walk to the plane from the highway as "brisk," the distance you will travel is far from it. You'll be treated to a relaxing 40-minute walk while the bitter cold rain
2. Solheimasandur (Beach day), 2 p.m.
(awake for 24 hours)
Beaches in Iceland are different than in the United States think more Wescoe, less Gulf Shores. Icelandic beaches are made from volcanic ash, making them totally black and dismal to look at. Consult your psychiatrist before visiting this beach.
soaks every part of your body. As you stumble on rocks, your feet will hurt deeper than ever before. When you enjoy the same 40-minute walk back, you will swear never to go on another walk.
Insider tip: Get a rain jacket from the clearance rack at American Eagle with a design that funnels rain directly to your crotch area so it looks like you peed your pants when you go out to dinner.
3. Kex Hostel, 8 p.m.
(awake for 30 hours)
What building is more equipped to handle overly-social travelers
than a converted biscuit factory? Located in downtown Reykjavik, Kex has decor that aims at hipster, yet reminds you of an abandoned mental institution. The room designs ensure that every bit of personal space is taken away. You might even be lucky enough to have a roommate that goes to bed before 8 p.m., so that you have to find your bed in the dark, then continues to sleep well into the next day, prompting the question: Is he alive?
Friday
1. Walking Tour of Reykjavik, 4 p.m.
There literally can't be a worse time to do a walking tour than after experiencing Solheimasandur, or as most now call it, "black death walk," or "hell" for short. If you still decide to go on the tour, because "you're
only here once and it's technically free," you'll be led around Reykjavik by a knowledgeable guide. You can engage with the guide by asking questions like, "how much farther?" "can you limp with both legs?" and "is this shooting pain normal?"
Saturday
1. GrayLine Bus to Airport, 3 a.m.
As you travel to the airport to leave, you'll be serenaded by loud 80's music way too early in the morning. When the synth become unbearable and the bright lights at the terminals become blinding, you will be left with the question — where am I?

Alumnae display designs at Iowa State
▶ SAMANTHA SEXTON

Contributed photo "Polka Dot Indigo," a piece by Allison Metzger and Catherine Reinhart, on display at Iowa State University.
University alumnae Allison Metzger and Catherine Reinhart felt the power of community when half of their upcoming design exhibition, "Common Threads III," was funded through an Indiegogo campaign earlier this year. The interactive exhibit will be shown at the Iowa State University Design on Main Gallery in Ames, Iowa from Oct. 1 to 31.
"It was very touching to see such an outpouring of support from people who genuinely wanted to see our work," Metzger said.
The pair's creations were inspired by two murals painted by Grant Woods — "Breaking the Prairie" and "When Tillage Begins, Other Arts Follow" — which are displayed on campus at Iowa State University. Metzger and Reinhart saw Woods' depiction of country life and were inspired to choose the
theme of their design collaboration; community.
"We were both really drawn to the idea of where community came from," Metzger said. "Our country's history, and especially this specific area of the country, started by first breaking the prairie."
Contributed photo ate University
The artists will exhibit 15 to 20 works on paper as well as an interactive installation, which is the result of a collaboration between Metzger and Reinhart.
After the Oct. 1 opening, Reinhart and Metzger will host a weekly "wrapping party," which gives the public a chance to alter an interactive installation.
"Every Thursday, we'll open in the evening for everyone to come in and wrap the sculpture with fabric that we'll have," Reinhart said. "This way the community will really be involved in the designing of it. Part of the goal of the project is to promote interaction between the students at the University
and members of the Ames community. We want as many people as possible to come to the gallery and get to know each other through art."
The "wrapping party" will be free and open to the public.
Metzger lives in Minne
sota and Reinhart in Iowa. However, the duo said collaborating over a distance was easier than they had initially prepared for.
"Being so far apart allowed for more breathing room," Reinhart said. "It also helped that we know each other's style so well from being in school together."
"Common Threads III will be on display at Iowa State University for the month of October.

Collections from Spencer Museum available online

The Spencer Museum of Art is closed for renovations, but patrons have the opportunity to view its many collections online. This includes "The Second Battlefield," an exhibit that showcases pieces about wartime nursing.
In 2014, Professor Eric G. Carlson donated over 3,000 pieces of art to the museum. A majority of the donated pieces are French prints and drawings dated from 1914 to 1918. "The Second Battlefield" is made up of works provided by this donation.
The exhibition was on view at the Spencer Museum from September 2014 to April 2015. Then it was moved to the National World War I Museum in Kansas City, Mo., for a few months.
Piece from "The Second Battlefield" display on the Spencer Museum's website.
"[The Second Battlefield] was a timely exhibition, coinciding with the anniversary of WWI," Kate Meyer, assistant curator at the Spencer Museum, said. "It also represents the museum's ongoing interest in issues related to health

and medicine with its focus on nursing, and it highlights the active role many women played in war."
Last year's common book was "A Farewell to Arms" by Ernest Hemingway. The novel, which is set in WWI, coincided well with the exhibit.
The Spencer Museum archives all of its exhibits online in order to make them more accessible to the public.
"While The Second Battlefield' won't be on display, the works are part of our permanent collection and can be seen by setting up an appointment or by coming by on Fridays after we reopen," Stephen Goddard, associate director and senior curator
for the Spencer Museum, said.
Through the museum's website, art enthusiasts can look at more than 40,000 catalogued pieces. Through its mobile app, patrons can browse Spencer exhibits by virtual tour.
The Spencer Museum plans to launch a new website after the renovations are finished, after which "The Second Battlefield" will be moved to the archive section of the site.
Also on the website is the 2016-2017 KU Common Work of Art. The museum chose three works by artist Willie Cole to accompany this year's common book
"Between the World and Me."
"The exhibition includes other works by Cole in our collection, along with process shots of the artist creating the prints featured as the Common Work of Art," Elizabeth Kanost, communications coordinator for the museum, said. "The Common Work of Art will be on view when the Museum reopens in October."
"The Second Battlefield" is one small part of the Carlson donation. The Spencer Museum plans to use more of the pieces in future exhibits.

'Can't Stop the Serenity' comes to Lawrence

On Friday, Sept. 16, Liberty Hall will be hosting "Can't Stop the Serenity," a global effort by Equality Now to raise awareness for gender equality. The 2005 sci-fi film "Serenity," directed by Joss Whedon ("The Avengers" series), will be screened at the event starting at 7 p.m., with doors opening at 6:30 p.m.
In addition to "Serenity," Whedon's 2008 comedy mini-series starring Neil Patrick Harris, "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog," will be shown. In between screenings, a raffle will be held.

This year will mark the seventh anniversary of "Can't Stop the Serenity" in Lawrence. Participants, often a part of a core following that comes back every year, have been known to show up in costume, Edington said.
Michael Roach has been the lead coordinator for the Lawrence event since it began. He said he caught word of the effort by Equality Now after interviewing global team member Anne Barringer for his podcast in 2008.

Natural History Museum to host adult field trips
▶ SAMANTHA SEXTON
@Sambiscuit
The Biodiversity Institute and Natural History Museum is reaching out with mimosas to rekindle scientific interest in the older generations.
"Now, more than ever, it's becoming increasingly important for people to understand the world scientifically and what's going on around them," Bekkah Lampe, the education program coordinator for the museum said. "We want to inspire adults as well as children."
Lampe, along with Teresa MacDonald, the museum's associate director, have developed a new program based on its field trips for children but will be specifically for adults 21 and older. With a light brunch and some alcoholic beverages, the two said they hope to see
interest in the sciences flourish.
it's becoming increasingly important for people to understand the world scientifically."
"We see parents come in with their kids during the field trips and we can tell that they are interested but that they defer to the children and try not to take away from their experience," MacDonald said. "This program will allow for those parents and others who may be interested to further develop their scientific understanding."
The program will include

three separate events, each focusing on a specific topic with a short class and handson experiments. MacDonald said that while these topics, such as genealogy and the study of DNA, are vast, the classes will be short, sweet snippets to avoid overwhelming or boring the participants.
Field Trip Science for Adults
"We want to reach out to the adults who may not have had a science class or who enjoyed their science classes but might have forgotten a lot since school," MacDonald said. "We want them coming away from this experience feeling more confident in their basic understanding of the subjects."
Whether attempting to keep up with new discoveries, reports in the news or simply wanting to help their kids with school work, Lampe said that adults learning about the world is important.

▶ COURTNEY BIERMAN @courtbierman
The Oread Hotel will welcome Material Girl, a Lady Gaga and Madonna tribute band, on Friday, Sept. 16, for a concert at The Nest. The band performs well-known hits from both pop superstars at various locations in the Kansas City area.
"We are excited to have Material Girl play on top of the Oread," said Nancy Longhurst, the Oread's general manager. "They have a terrific sound, and I am sure students would love them."
Material Girl's set list includes songs like Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" and "Born This Way," and Madonna's "Like A Virgin." The band's manager and drummer, Shawn Lothamer, started the band in May of 2013. They started playing only Madonna's music, then the Lady Gaga set was added in the winter of 2014 to give the group a more modern sound.
"I've been told for years that I sound just like Madonna, and she's been my idol forever," Tafolla said.
Vocalist Sara Tafolla signed on in response to an ad Lothamer posted on Craigslist for a singer. Tafolla's sound and looks have often been compared to Gaga and Madonna.
I've been told for years that I sound just like Madonna."

Since its conception, Material Girl has made a name for itself playing venues in downtown Kansas City, Mo.,
and at regional gay pride festivals.
“[It’s a] show that makes you feel like you're at a Madonna or Lady Gaga concert, like you're really there,” Tafolla said.
The band said it's working on learning Lady Gaga's latest single, "Perfect Illusion," which came out last week.
Material Girl's show will be from 8-11 p.m. Sept. 16 at The Nest on Ninth at the Oread. There will be a $7 cover charge at the door.

FAN PRESS RELEASE
David Beaty is now coaching returners
Coach David Beaty watches from the sideline against Ohio on Sept. 10.
Missy Minear/KANSAN
After two special teams fumbles played into Saturday's loss against Ohio, coach David Beaty is now taking matters into his own hands.
"We are all working very diligently to make sure that we get that solved, including me. I'm taking over the returners and if it's going to happen, it's going to be my fault." Beaty said.
Beaty wouldn't disclose who was previously in charge of coaching that area, but he did say that he felt the Jayhawks "played really well" in most of special teams.
Despite his two fumbles, junior wide receiver LaQuvionte Gonzalez did return a kickoff for a touchdown.
Kansas focusing on "eye control" this week
Ohio's offense gave Kansas a lot of trouble this past weekend, which gives the defense something new to focus on.
Beaty referred to the
long run in Ohio's first drive of the game that set up a touchdown and noted that it "could have been prevented with good eye control and just disciplined play."

Memphis has only played one game so far,but Beaty is very familiar with its coaches.
"You would rather be on the other side in terms of knowing two games worth of what they are doing, no doubt about that," Beaty said.
That didn't stop Beaty from complimenting the coaching staff that includes new head coach Mike Norvell (formerly the offensive coordinator at Arizona State) and defensive coordinator Chris Ball.
Memphis' defensive line coach Paul Randolph
coached with Beaty during his time at Rice.
Clint Bowen has praise for young defensive tackle
Sophomore defensive tackle Daniel Wise stepped up during the latter part of the 2015 season and is picking up where he left off last year with 13 tackles, a pass defended and a blocked extra point.
That hasn't gone unnoticed by defensive coordinator Clint Bowen.
"Daniel's an active player for us," Bowen said. He's athletic enough and explosive enough that he can make some plays."
Bowen also noted that Wise had four tackles for a loss against Ohio.
Wise has been the starter for both games this season next to junior Isi Holani.

@WesleyDee2.3
1. Texas (Record: 2-0)
True freshman quarterback Shane Buechele was excellent again, throwing four touchdowns in a win over UTEP. The defense again proved it is going to be tough to move the ball on. UTEP had only seven points and 208 total yards of offense in the game. This was another big home win for the Longhorns.
2. Baylor (Record; 2-0)
BU
2. Baylor (Record: 2-0) The Bears have featured the best rushing attack so far in the Big 12, averaging 275 rushing yards per game. That has been a major key for the team in its wins, as it has turned opponents into a one-dimensional passing team because Baylor has gotten out to some early leads. That plays right into the Baylor defense's favor, which has also been first in the Big 12. Opposing quarterbacks are averaging only 130 yards per game against Baylor.
WV
3. West Virginia (Record:
O'SU
T
6. Oklahoma State (Record: 1-1)
The last-play, hail mary by Central Michigan to lose stings. Although the officials from the game will be suspended for two games for allowing that play to happen, it still doesn't help the fact that Oklahoma State will fall out of the Top 25.
The unthinkable happens to Oklahoma State in its loss to Central Michigan, Texas proves it's the class of the conference at the moment and more in this week's Big 12 rankings.
This rushing attack is special. Running back Rushel Shell III is averaging a Big 12-high 87 yards per game, and his teammate Justin Crawford is averaging 70.5 yards per game, which is fifth in the Big 12. The passing game has also been surprisingly explosive. Senior Skyler Howard is averaging 363.5 passing yards per game early on.
OU
4. Oklahoma (Record: 1-1) The Sooners got back on track with a 59-17 drubbing of Louisiana-Monroe. Quarterback Baker Mayfield shined, and more importantly, so did the rushing game. Oklahoma produced 288 yards on the ground. It only had 70 yards rushing last week against Houston. Still, the team is still searching for a true No.1 option in the receiving corps.
5. TCU (Record: 1-1)
TCU
7. Texas Tech (Record:
1-1)
Shocking loss for TCU in double-overtime against Arkansas. Quarterback Kenny Hill played another great game, throwing for 377 yards, but the defense just wasn't good enough. Arkansas running back Rawleigh Williams III ran all over them with his 137 yards.cq The Horned Frogs' defense will need to turn the corner soon, as it currently ranks eighth in the Big 12.
This defense just can't seem to get the job done. It gave up 68 points to Arizona State, and is giving up a Big 12-worst 511 yards per game. It's a shame given how explosive the Texas Tech offense is.
KU
8. Kansas (Record: 1-1)
The Jayhawks committed several mental mistakes on special teams against Ohio that attributed to the loss. The main root cause of the loss for Kansas was run defense and run offense. They gave up 329 yards rushing and ran for only 26. That won't play well in Big 12 action.
C
9. Kansas State (Record:
The Wildcats got a bye this week and are set to host Florida Atlantic on Saturday. K-State will need better play offensively, especially from quarterback Jesse Ertz, if they want any shot at winning.
STATE
10. Iowa State (Record: 0-2)
The Cyclones lost an ugly game to their in-state rival Iowa, 42-3, on Saturday, allowing six touchdowns and 435 total yards of offense. Running back Mike Warren has yet to get it going, and there are serious issues at the quarterback position. Backup Jacob Park got some snaps late in the game, and Iowa State will need to decide if they want to move forward with Joel Lanning, who has struggled mightily in his first two games.

Football hopes to limit mistakes against Memphis

Two muffed punts certainly led to Kansas football's (1-1) loss to Ohio on Saturday,but it wasn't the main issue.

While the Jayhawks hope to clean up their miscues in special teams this week when they travel to play the Memphis Tigers (1-0) on Saturday, they will also be looking for more production at the running back position.
To improve upon special teams play, Kansas coach David Beaty said on Tuesday during his weekly press conference that he will take over special team duties.
Junior wide receiver LaQuvionte Gonzalez muffed two punts during the game. Both of them
"Obviously the one thing that really sticks out to most people, I've got an 87-year-old mother and the first thing she said was, 'Y'all got to hang on to that ball when they punt it to you,'" Beaty said. "Yeah, absolutely we do. We've got to do a better job of that and that's not okay."
came inside of Ohio's 30- yard line.
"We are all working very diligently to make sure that we get that solved, including me," Beaty said. "I'm taking over the returners and if it's going to happen, it's going to be my fault. That's why I'm doing it."
Still, arguably the toughest part of the game was the inability of Kansas to create an effective rushing attack.
The team ran for only 26 total rushing yards, and it is still unclear who will be the featured back this season.
"I'm trying to figure out who we are right now, because I know we're a lot better than what we showed Saturday in the run game," Beaty said. "We're probably somewhere in the middle and we need to continue to work on improving that to be honest with you."
Coach Beaty also described the Memphis defense as "strong" and an "attack-style defense."
Establishing a rushing attack against Memphis will be key for the Jayhawks. The Tigers gave up 110 rushing yards in their season-opening win against
Southeast Missouri State.
Another area of focus for the Jayhawks will be rush defense. The team gave up 329 rushing yards to Ohio and will be looking to improve on that this week.
"Eye control is going to be a major focus this week," Beaty said. "That's the way we're going to sure up our run game, being more physical and really doing a great
job of using our eyes and playing better with eye control. Particularly when you play a team that is a threat to be an option team. You've got to be disciplined."
Memphis ran for 110 yards against Southeast Missouri State. Running back Patrick Taylor Jr. ran for a team-high 86 yards, and he will be a focal point for the Jayhawk defense to
contain.
As tor quarterback play, Beaty said redshirt junior quarterback Montell Cozart will continue to get the majority of the snaps.
"It will be very similar. Be very similar," Beaty said. "Montell looked really good yesterday. He took a couple of big hits in that game. I was proud of him... But his passer efficiency rating is
way up there. His completion percentage is way up from last year."
Asked if sophomore quarterback Ryan Willis will continue to share snaps with Cozart, Beaty said "I'm not telling you that, sorry."
Kickoff at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium is scheduled for 11 a.m.

However, nobody's looked too far ahead. In fact, wins this weekend will look much more impressive than a successful conference season come NCAA
"Right now we're focused on the games this weekend," Francis said. "I've just been thinking about USC and Pepperdine. Those are going help us as much as beating some teams in our conference."

While Francis recognized the difficulty, it's not something the Jayhawks are incapable of doing. Kansas lost 2-1 to Minnesota in the first game of the season, a match Francis said Kansas should have won.
"The teams we've played have been good and we played very evenly with them," Francis said. "I don't think this [weekend] will be any different. Obviously we'll need to play well to beat either of those teams,
but that was the same case against other opponents we played."
Before facing Kansas on Sunday, Pepperdine will take on 11th-ranked UCLA on Friday. While USC is trending upward, Pepperdine comes into the weekend after drawing to Cal State Northridge and losing to No.5 Virginia.
The only losses for USC this season came early against Long Beach State and Santa Clara.
The Pepperdine match might be winnable for the Jayhawks, though that takes nothing away from what would be a big victory on Sunday. Pepperdine faced USC earlier this season and lost 3-0.
Kansas kicks off against USC at 5 p.m. CST on Friday and faces Pepperdine at 3 p.m. CST on Sunday.

Up Close and Personal: Baton Twirler Nicole Johnson

CLAUDIA CLOSE @claudia_close
Hog calling might not be the most well-known Kansas tradition, but for sophomore baton twirler Nicole Johnson, it's number one.
On game day, the Marching Jayhawks enter Memorial Stadium as the familiar tune of "I'm a Jayhawk" echoes through the tunnels. They pause to prepare themselves for the chaos — or hog calling — that's about to ensue.
As they stand in a circle with arms linked, the band sings "It's Hog Calling Time In Nebraska." One member of the sousaphone section goes to the middle and shouts words of encouragement and excitement.
"The first time it happened, I was a freshman and it was so overwhelming," Johnson said. "Now, it just makes me really happy. The entire band is together and getting so pumped up and ready for [the game], and it's so cool."
Johnson, a sophomore
"it out
from Toronto, Canada, is double majoring in math and engineering physics. She has been twirling since she was a child. Her grandmother was her first teacher.
"My grandma owned a dance studio, and she taught baton," Johnson said. "My parents put me in ballet, baton and gymnastics, and that was super normal for me to be in baton because my grandma coached it."
When she came to Kansas, Johnson learned that
It automatically gives you a close knit group of friends."
Nicole Johnson sophomore baton twirler
the baton twirler for the Marching Jayhawks was graduating and thought that joining the band would be a good idea. So she joined the marching band, partly for the baton twirling, partly for her social life.
"It automatically gives you a close knit group of friends," Johnson said. "I came to Kansas knowing no one, so that was really important to me."
Johnson's favorite part of baton twirling is the creativity she gets to put into her routines.
"If you compared what I do to a different baton twirler at a different school, it would be so different," Johnson said. "I just love that there's so many options and so much you can
do."
Each game, Johnson decides whether to twirl three batons at the same time or turn twice and flip while she throws one baton in the air.
Johnson is looking forward to the next three years on the field. She will also continue to work toward her dream of becoming a math professor.
Johnson will use her unique routines to make her mark in the Marching Jayhawks, making sure to continue "hog calling" along the way.

Volleyball puts No.4 ranking to the test this weekend
▶ MATT HOFFMANN
@MattHoffmannJDK
Coach Rav Bechard cheers on the team in the final game of the match.
Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard didn't ask for his team to be ranked No. 4 in the nation.In fact, he surmises his team is somewhere outside the top 10 and that's where he'll continue to vote them in the coaches poll, at least until this year's team earns that No.4 spot.
"We have to look beyond our [9-0] record, we're doing a poor job closing out sets," Bechard said on Wednesday.
Bechard and the Jayhawks have one last chance to improve before conference play with the Staey Clark Classic tournament this weekend against Southeast Louisiana, Xavier and No. 14 Purdue, who is hosting the tournament.
Kansas faces both Xavier and Purdue on Friday, and Southeast Louisiana on Saturday.
When you're No. 4 in the nation — if you want to be or not — you get everybody's best shot and better be ready for it according to Bechard.
"We've spent a lot of time at 21 all, 22 all, and it's about what kind of decisions we are making," Bechard said.
"We saw a spirited effort
from [Tennessee] Chattanooga, Northern Iowa and we have to be ready when that happens," Bechard said.
Bechard ran into a couple of Southeast Louisiana assistant coaches in the offseason on the recruiting trail and the way he describes it, the Lions are excited for their shot at what is now a big-name, high-profile program.
"We aren't going to cruise through this weekend and I doubt we'll go through the Big 12 without losing a match," Bechard said.
Speaking of the Big 12 Kansas opens Big 12 play next Wednesday against Oklahoma and at No.2 Texas on Sept.24.Both are tough tests at the front end of the Big 12 regular season.
File Photo/KANSAN
Bechard hopes the match against Purdue on Friday will provide a solid measuring stick with another top 15 match against Texas on the horizon.
"We'll take some pretty heavy body blows this weekend and see how we bounce back," Beehard said.
Even with tainted optimism flowing from coach Bechard, Kansas is on a 24-match unbeaten streak in the regular season
against nonconference opponents.
"This is a great opportunity to see Xavier and Purdue and transition into
Oklahoma and Texas," Bechard said. "It's a good weekend we just need to play well and see what happens."
Kansas is likely to stay at No.4 until voters are given a reason to move them, which Bechard hopes won't come this weekend.
"I think until somebody beats us they'll probably keep us there," he said.

At Sunday's Festival of Cultures, Lawrence residents from all different backgrounds came together in South Park to show off the aspects of their cultures that they are most proud of.
Chris Keary, the secretary of the Lawrence Alliance who helped organize the event, said the goal of the Festival of Cultures is to recognize the diversity within the Lawrence community.
Some performed traditional songs or dances while others sold food inspired by their home countries. Still other vendors offered handmade clothes for sale or just provided information about their cultural organizations.

Former Kansas senators discuss Trump, Congress at Dole Institute
▶ CHANDLER BOESE
@chandler_boese
Two Kansas politicians spoke at the University this weekend to discuss contemporary politics including their competing views of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Former senator and presidential candidate Bob Dole, as well as fellow former senator Nancy Kassebaum were hosted at the Dole Institute of Politics on Saturday. Their discussion of today's political climate held the possibility for conflict, as Dole has endorsed Trump, while Kassebaum is an outspoken critic of the candidate.
Yet the panel was mostly full of laughs and kind gestures between the two former senators and native Kansans.
Kassebaum expressed that she dislikes the way Trump speaks and thinks he represents a problem in the Republican party.
"I have a hard time when I hear him speak imagining him giving a State of the Union address," she said.
Dole endorsed Trump in May and was the only former Republican presidential candidate to attend the party's convention this summer in Cleveland. Yet, he conceded to Kassebaum on a few points, including Trump's fiery talk.
"I've talked to the Trump campaign and Donald Trump himself about his speeches," Dole said. "I've told them that he needs to stop insulting people and talk policy, because that's what people want to hear."
Dole also agreed with Kassebaum that Trump spends most of his campaign insulting Hillary Clinton, the Democratic presidential candidate.
"
I have a hard time when I hear him speak imagining him giving a State of the Union address."
"I lost in '96, but I always thought Bill Clinton was my opponent, not my enemy," he said.
Yet Dole also pointed out later in the program some of Trump's attributes that he brings to the presidency.

Legislators optimistic about stopping guns on campus after August primary turnover
▶ CHANDLER BOESE @Chandler_Boese
Thanks to the results of the August primary, two Kansas legislators are feeling optimistic about stopping guns on campus.
Rep. Barbara Ballard (D-Lawrence) and Sen. Tom Hawk (D-Manhattan) are two legislators who are leading the charge against campus carry. Both had bills asking for higher education exemptions in the 2016 session, but never got a chance to introduce them.
"Whereas last year it didn't have a chance at all, this year it has a better chance," Ballard said. "I still don't know the number, but it has a better chance because you have a different
Both Ballard and Hawk said they might stand a better chance in 2017, thanks to a number of moderates who won primary elections.
makeup."
Currently, universities are gun-free thanks to an exemption that expires July 1,2017.
Ballard's district includes a large part of the University's campus, where she is also the associate director of the Dole Institute of Politics. She said she is hoping to introduce a bill to make all institutions of higher learning permanently exempt from the law.
Hawk is also planning to push a bill that limits HB 2526, but his takes a different approach.
Hawk's bill would allow the Kansas Board of Regents to decide whether or not they want concealed carry on college campuses on a case-by-case basis.
"I recognize that local control in making decisions closer to the people who are being served by an institution is a preferable thing.
So my bill allows that to be an institutional decision," Hawk said. "I think that has a better chance of passing than banning guns on campus."

Are you voting for what these people want or are you personally voting for what you want or are you voting for what the NRA wants?"
Rep. Barbara Ballard D-Lawrence
Hawk said he would vote for Ballard's bill, as well as any bill that extended the exemption for higher education.
Now, Hawk said, the biggest thing that can make a difference for the bill's
success would be for legislators to see and hear from the issue's stakeholders "Rarely does a bill, especially if it deals with a subject as controversial as this one is, have much of a chance unless the constituents that are affected by it show some degree of urgency and support, usually a large degree of urgency and support to see that it passes," he said.
Ballard said she plans on arguing for her bill using a survey of people across the state that said most Kansans support concealed carry, but not on college campuses.
"I will be, in my argument, relying on that 82 percent that said they want [the exemption]," she said. "Are you voting for what these people want or are you personally voting for what you want or are you voting for what the NRA wants?"

"One thing Trump could do is work with Congress, he's done that all his life," Dole said, adding that he believes President Barack Obama has struggled to do that during his presidency.
Yet neither of the former senators believe that Congress is being particularly successful either, both giving examples of times they worked with Democrats during their time in the Senate, something they believe today's legislators are lacking on.
Despite their competing views on the presidency, though, both speakers were very complimentary of each other. When asked who her biggest heroes were,

Kassebaum named Dole as one. Dole repeatedly said Kassebaum was "the most well-liked politician in Kansas" when they served together in the Senate.
In fact, the director of the Dole Institute, Bill Lacy, who was moderating the discussion, surprised Kassebaum by presenting her with an award: the Dole Leadership Prize.
After the program, Lacy told the Kansan that Senator Dole was a big part of the decision to give Kassebaum that honor.

About 30 people gathered in the Ecumenical Campus Ministries on Wednesday evening to discuss efforts to prevent guns on campus.
Two organizations, Kansans Against Campus Carry and Kansas Interfaith Action, are working to find a way to delay or stop the Kansas law that will allow concealed carry on campus. The law is scheduled to go into effect on July 1, 2017.
"We want to get people who are interested in getting involved to stop this law," Rieber said. "We want to raise awareness to this issue. This is a public health issue."
It's going to impact the nature of the campus itself. It will impact classroom discussions."

Jones, who teaches English composition at the University, fears that if the law passes, it will change the safety of her classes.
The Kansas Legislature will meet in January through late April or early May, according to Rieber. The organizations' goal is to delay the law as it is written before the July deadline.
During Wednesday's forum, the two organizations brainstormed ideas on how to bring awareness to this issue.
Getting involved on social media, taking the conversations to neighboring towns and holding demonstrations at the capital were all possible ideas the group proposed.

Dr. Dana Hawkinson, an infectious disease expert at the University of Kansas Medical Center, said that while there isn't a real risk of HIV becoming rampant in an environment like a college campus, testing is still very important.
for the virus is because a lot of the time when a person has contracted HIV they have no idea," She said "It's truly asymptomatic, meaning there are no obvious signs you've contracted the virus."
"It's important to get tested for the virus so that treatment can begin right away," Hawkinson said. "The virus is associated
with a lot of deaths in the past, but new drugs have been developed that greatly improve the quality of life of HIV patients. Life expectancy for someone who is HIV positive is now very similar to those without the virus."
The virus, which can progress to AIDS, weakens the immune system by attacking cells which help defend the body from disease and infection, according to the CDC.
Hawkinson said one of the biggest risks associated with the virus is the complications that can occur which include heart disease, infection and various
cancers.
To encourage more students to get tested, McKee said Watkins Health Center has offered the tests without the need for an appointment, and has also offered the test in the Memorial Union.
The final date for testing in the Union is Sept. 28, but McKee said the Health Center will also offer the test on Dec. 1, World AIDS Day, and during the month of April.

Voting registration change may have limited effect
► CHANDLER BOESE
@Chandler_Boese
ast week, a federal appeals court ruled that Kansas and two other states cannot require people registering to vote to show proof of citizenship, but the ruling might not have the large effect that one might expect.
REGISTER

VOTE
Bettina Bugatto/KANSAN Students register to vote outside of Wesco Hall. Some are concerned that since Kansas passed a law to require citizens to show proof of citizenship it has become more difficult for people to register.
"There have not been many people on the suspended voter list who have showed up at the polls thinking that they're registered to vote and not being able to vote," he said.
Patrick Miller, an assistant professor at the University, said the ruling likely won't have a significant impact on any elections results. Miller said statistics show that the proof of citizenship requirement has not prevented many Kansas voters from voting in the past.
Previously, if Kansas voters registered to vote with a federal form and affirmed that they were citizens, they would still have to send their proof of citizenship — typically meaning a passport or birth certificate — to their local election office. If they did not, they would be put on a suspended voters list and turned away from voting if they showed up at the polls.
The ruling means that Kansas cannot prevent those people from voting, though the requirement still applies to those who registered using a state form.
They might go to the DMV to register and not know they needed to provide proof of citizenship."
Lucille King Vice president of the Lawrence-Douglas County League of Women Voters

Miller said the Secretary of State's office has not yet announced exactly how they're going to implement the ruling. Even then, he said, the dispute likely won't be completely resolved until a case makes it to the U.S. Supreme Court, something that is unlikely to happen unless more states implement the law.
Lucille King, the vice president of the Lawrence-Douglas County League of Women Voters, said she and her organization aren't happy with the limited scope of the ruling, because it will likely only apply to federal elections.
"The league hopes people vote on all the positions, not just the three top ones," she said. "It's important for our state and our county and our local issues to have people informed and vote down the ballot and vote to retain or not retain our judges."
zenship requirement will be repealed for all levels of the November election. She said she wants people to understand the importance of voting on each position, because the decisions they make will impact everyone.
King said the league is still actively trying to get people to register and turn in their documentation until they're sure that the proof of citi-
In King's opinion, however, the proof of citizenship requirement does keep people from voting. She said the league has seen great success with people they register and
talk to about the process in detail, but that they've seen many people at the polls who get lost in the complexities of the voting process.
"They might go to the DMV to register and not know they needed to provide proof of citizenship," she said. "But they leave thinking that they've registered and so when they get something in the mail telling them they haven't, they just think it's a
Miller said that, theoretically, last week's ruling should have helped improve representation of traditionally underrepresented groups, including young voters and minorities, as those are typically the suspended voters. However, Miller said that these groups are generally disenfranchised with the system, and less likely to complete the registration process.

Campus PSO officers now wearing body cameras

Thanks to funding from Student Senate, the University Public Safety Office now has a body camera for every police officer.
The request for body cameras was presented to Student Senate two years ago, according to Gabby Naylor. the student body vice president.
Naylor said that the PSO's request came before the national demand became prevalent.
"It was a little bit before body cameras started to really hit the media," Naylor said. "It was about six months before Ferguson that they came to Student Senate for that request."
When PSO presented the idea to Student Senate, it became the Student Safety Advisory Board's task to bring to fruition.
"One of our boards and committees within Student Senate is the Student Safety Advisory Board. It's a board
At the time of the request, the police department had only been able to equip its police officers on duty or patrol with the cameras, which instigated the need to get all the staff members of the police department a body camera to use at all times.
Idon
that we appoint a few people to every year," Naylor said. "They've done a few different expenditures for the police department."
"I don't think that a lot of people know that the officers wear them."
Gabby Naylor Student senate vice president
Deputy Chief James Anguiano said that the department had some cameras, but not enough to give each officer a body camera.
"We have had in-car cameras for many years," Angui-
ano said. "We talked about body cameras since we had already started issuing them to officers."
Student Senate's funding allowed the police department to purchase the remaining necessary body cameras.
"Student Senate purchased 14 body cameras and extra batteries, and that allowed us to outfit all of the officers in the police department, including administration staff and investigators," Anguiano said.
As for students' reactions, Naylor said she thinks that many students haven't yet heard that body cameras are in use. Although, she said she has noticed a positive reaction from those who do know.
"I don't think that a lot of people know that the officers wear them. Whenever it comes up in conversation, people are amazed," Naylor said. "They love that our KU officers are wearing them."

Anderson: Millennial outreach is failing
▶ SARAH ANDERSON
@KansanNews
have been gearing up for the 2016 election since I was first handed an "I'm ready for Hillary" poster on Wescoe Beach two years ago. At the time, I was ready for her. I thought of her like I think of Barack Obama: a beacon promising change. I saw her as a mother of millennials, someone who could identify with us, understand us and help us.
A lot has happened since I was handed that poster. Namely, Bernie Sanders happened. He talked about the environment, socialized
medicine and a way to pay for higher education. Bernie addressed our generation directly. He asked us what our concerns were and then proposed solutions. He stirred the pot.
Now I, like many millennials, am left wondering who has my generation's concerns at heart.
Many of us once thought this was Hillary.
We looked to her and hoped she would reflect our changing values. According to the Pew Research Center, younger generations will soon eclipse the voting power that baby boomers have had for years. We are
quickly finding our voice and our values.
We are the most educated generation in history, yet studies predict we will be the first to make less than our parents. We are economically separate from any generation before us, yet we are more connected with people our age from around the world than ever before.
I am a millennial, and I am concerned. Hillary is no longer a beacon of change for millennials, because she doesn't talk about what matters to us most.
Yes, she has a Twitter and an Instagram. Yes, she
eats Chipotle. However, I don't think that social media banter and food choices identify someone with a generation. Our generation's problems will soon become the problems of our nation. Yet they are consistently ignored by both presidential candidates.
I am concerned that both Hillary and Trump acknowledge millennials on superficial levels but refuse to dive into the issues that plague us most.
I want to see discussion about how our average college debt is over $33,000. I want to see environmental regulation that is actually
enforced. I am not interested in nude photos of Melania Trump, and I am not interested in rumors of Hillary or Bill Clinton being on the brink of death.
I wish I could return to how I felt two years ago on Wescoe Beach. I was "ready for Hillary." Now, just two months before the election, I am dragging my feet for Hillary and hoping that someone will eventually talk about what matters most to us.

Liston: College students can help community

@rliston235
Every time I visit the Lawrence Humane Society as a part of the Big Brothers Big Sisters program, my "little" mentions how sad it is to see animals in poor living conditions. I always assure him that the staff knows how to best care for the animals, but without proper facilities, there is only so much a qualified staff can do to ensure the quality of life the animals require.
Unfortunately, the construction of a new facility is still years away. The Humane Society and the Lawrence City Commission have discussed potential plans to fund the project, but the earliest the plan could receive proper funding is 2020. Until then, college students can play an important role in helping the Humane Society with its daily operations.
The Lawrence Humane Society, located at 1805 E. 19th St., relies on the work of volunteers to supplement the work done by staff members. Students looking to serve their community may find it
rewarding to spend a couple hours helping animals.
Students who live off-campus should consider adopting a pet from the Humane Society. Adopting an animal from a shelter is a better alternative to purchasing one. An animal that is adopted is often saved from dangerous or unhealthy living conditions.
The Humane Society also welcomes people to walk in and simply interact with many of the animals by petting cats or playing with dogs.
Students who cannot commit to adoption may find one of the Humane Society's fostering programs rewarding. The Adoption Ambassador program allows volunteers to take an animal into their home for a designated period of time as they try to find a permanent owner. Volunteers can also foster animals that are not ready for adoption.
Hopefully the city commission and the Lawrence Humane Society can finalize a funding method, so the organization can begin the process of building a new facility.
For the time being, KU students can and should contribute to improving the lives of shelter animals.

Doerr: NFL's reactive concussion policies won't solve head trauma
Edited by Cody Schmitz
The NFL is a corporate monolith; its 32 teams are valued at an average of $2 billion each and its average viewership per game carries nearly 20 million viewers on major networks.
For the next few months, the National Football League and the sport of football will wield an inexorable amount of influence on the lives of Americans.
But the NFL and the sport of football are facing an existential threat: that of the link between concussions and CTE, a degenerative disease found in players who have had head injuries. The NFL in March of 2015 announced safety measures geared toward preventing concussion damage. "Injury spotters" would be given a direct line of communication to officials; the spotters could call for medical timeouts if it appeared that a player had been concussed.
Even at the lower levels, football is powerful: Kansas' football program is estimated by the Wall Street Journal to be worth almost $100 million. More high schoolers play football than any other sport.
> JAKE DOERR
@No_Doerr
But the results weren't pretty: last November, quarterback Case Keenum of the then-St. Louis Rams slammed his head violently into the ground during a game, but play was not stopped. Only afterwards did medical officials determine that Keenum had suffered a concussion. Fans and pundits alike were shocked that he was allowed to continue.
Fans
Fans and pundits alike were shocked that he was allowed to continue."
Fast forward to this past Thursday, the opening night of the 2016 NFL season, when reigning league MVP Cam Newton was struck helmet-to-helmet four times by Broncos defenders. The last hit left Newton struggling to get off the ground for nearly two minutes.
The problem with the NFL's latest measures to mitigate concussions is just that; they are meant to mitigate the damage already done and are reactive by nature. The NFL believes that these measures will be enough to placate the concerns of its large fan base, but they do nothing to address the grave threat to football that brain trauma poses.
A recent poll reported that nearly 80 percent of respondents did not believe
that football was appropriate for those under the age of 14, a response that would have been unfathomable more than 10 years ago, before discussions of CTE had made their ways to the forefront.
The writing is on the wall for the NFL and football as a whole - reform is needed. Plastic helmets and facemasks were introduced to the game to protect players' noses and teeth, but at the expense of their brains. The sport of football at all levels must be more proactive in order to save itself. As long as the illusion of safety provided by the helmet and facemask provides players with the excuse to launch themselves like missiles head-first into opponents, brain injuries will be inevitable, and no protocol or "injury spotter" can halt something that has already happened.

There's a new restaurant in downtown Lawrence. Mighty Tamales opened its doors earlier this month inside the Veterans of Foreign Wars building at 18th and Massachusetts Street with a menu of Mesoamerican-inspired dishes, but tamales are owner Kristy Buster's specialty.
"Show me a recipe and I can make it," Buster said. "I started making tamales years ago, and it then just turns out that's something that's in high demand. And because it's fun to make, I don't mind actually standing and putting the time into it. Everybody likes them."
Mighty Tamales is a family business, and Buster owns the restaurant with
her husband Justin. The couple moved to Lawrence from Dallas with their three kids in 2009 so Justin could attend Haskell University.
Owning a restaurant has always been a dream for Kristy, who said she's been cooking since she was 5 years old.
"I can remember the first pot of spaghetti I ever made," she said. "It's hilarious. It's just something I've always loved to do."
The restaurant entered the planning stages over the summer after Kristy decided that it was the right time to start working toward her goal. The Busters started a GoFundMe page, and their friends and family helped spread the word about Kristy's tamales by word of mouth and Facebook.
MIGHTY
TAMALES
Kristy and her husband have mostly been working odd jobs since moving to
Kansas. While Justin was in school, Kristy managed donut shops and held other jobs in the food service industry. It was a way for her to learn the business, and she said that when she wasn't working, she was cooking.
Kaila Trollope/KANSAN New tamale restaurant opens in downtown Lawrence.
Although Justin is Kristy's "right hand man," he said he's as likely to be greeting customers as he is working in the kitchen.
"[I'm looking forward to] the freedom there that comes with being your own boss," Justin said. "At the same time, you work really hard and a lot more than you do for someone else, but it's a good tired; it's a good hard work."
Hannah Edelman/KANSAN Ben Snooks, a senior at the University, and his band Miki Moondrops, just released their first album Aug. 30. The album is titled "Vegetable Head."
Mighty Tamales is currently open Monday-Thursday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., but it's still in "beta mode" until its grand opening on Sept. 24, which will be a fiesta-style party with a band and lots of food.
"This is what I've wanted to do my whole life," Kristy said. "Cook, and cook for massive amounts of people, have my own restaurant,
cook my own foods, [and] watch people enjoy the foods I've put my own time into."

Miki Moondrops releases debut album
▶ MIKE LAVIN
@TheLavinRant
Miki Moondrops combines a flavorful mix of idiosyncratic guitar, upbeat production and silky vocals on its debut album "Vegetable Head," which released on Aug. 30. The band is made up of multi-instrumentalist David Lord, producer Benjamin Snook, and singer and bassist Miki Masuda.
"Vegetable Head" is Masuda's vocal debut. She sounds very much at ease on the record, but still has an edge to her voice that separates it from other indie pop singers, according to Lord.
"I had written all this music not quite knowing what I was going to with it, and then it just kinda hit me all of a sudden that Miki's voice would be perfect for it," Lord said. "And then she started coming in and adding vocals to it. Now it's really hard to imagine anyone else singing on it. It seems like it was sort of crafted for her voice, even though it wasn't consciously known she would be singing on it."
"Fred Hats" opens the record with a fun feel that introduces Masuda's vocals and the upbeat nature of the production. It is clear
that Miki Moondrops isn't like most projects Lord has worked on. Lord has done atmospheric and instrumental work in the past as Francis Moss and the Wonder Revolution. The album captures a bright and happy sound that is reminiscent of carefree summer mornings.
"I've done some other poppy stuff with The Wonder Revolution, but nothing like this," Lord said. "I think adding Ben's percussion took it to the next level as far as making it much more poppy and brighter
Snook's percussion adds a layer of fast-paced beats alongside Lord's meandering guitars and synths. "The Time Is Right For Birds" sums up the perfect collage of sound — like a musical conversation.
than anything I've done in the past."
Snook, a senior at the University from Wichita, lives in Lawrence, so there was a lot of long-distance communication between him and Lord, who lives in Wichita. Snook said Lord would send him musical
samples, to which Snook added his flare of production.
"I wanted it to be kind of a groovy album, because if there wasn't a strong backbeat behind the songs. You couldn't get into it, and I really wanted that with this project," Snook said.
Lord said he wasn't excited about the long-distance working relationship, because the initial material he sent back wasn't what he was looking for. However, he said Snook is someone who turns back material
very quickly, and he was eventually on board with the "grooves" that Snook was putting together.
Snook was kept in the dark about what the final product of the record would be.
I had written all this music not quite knowing what I was going to with it, and then it just kinda hit me all of a sudden that Miki's voice would be perfect for it."
David Lord Band member
"I never actually heard the final version of the album until the final master," Snook said. "I didn't know what even the melodies would be. I hadn't heard Miki's voice at all, and I just trusted David would make it sound good. I'm really happy with how it turned out."

Matt Toth and Julio Mejia, who make up the DJ group Good Times Ahead, are performing at The Granada Sept. 22
The DJ duo Good Times Ahead (GTA) is set to perform at the Granada on Sept. 22.
GTA is made up of house trap and hip hop producers Matt Toth and Julio Mejia. The group was formed in 2010 after Toth and Mejia met through mutual friends on Facebook.
"We had both been producing music on our own, and the mutual friend hit us up," Toth said.

Both Toth and Mejia have produced music individually: Toth under the name Van Toth, and Mejia under the name JWLS. Since creating GTA, however, the duo produces everything together. They have released three EPs and multiple singles. GTA has worked with artists such as Diplo, Lil Jon and Wax Motif.

"We actually do everything under GTA," Meija said. "We'll work on our own a lot if we're at home. We'll work by ourselves and
The duo has toured four times, two of those tours as headliners. They opened for Rihanna in 2013 during her Diamonds World Tour.
The group also toured with Tiesto and Calvin Harris as a part of the Greater Than World Tour.
GTA hasn't always stood for Good Times Ahead. The band left it up to the fans to
decide what the acronym GTA stood for.
"For a while we had this campaign where we would tell our fans to come up with their own meaning," Toth said. "We would get a

creates.
"Good Times Ahead" is also the name of the duo's upcoming full-length studio album, which releases Oct. 7.Meija said fans will notice a shift in tone and style.
"We're actually known for a lot of aggressive kind of stuff, but on this album we really pushed ourselves to creatively try new things," said Mejia. "This album really showcases our skills as producers."
Mejia said crowds should expect music with a cool and distant sound, ranging from R&B to electronic. Hip-hop will also be featured on the LP; Vince Staples is listed as a feature on the track, "Little Bit of This."
"We've always been a fan of Vince with his Summertime '06 album, I thought it was super dope." Toth said.
"You guys better show up, turn up, come out to the Good Times Ahead Tour, because we are going to have a blast," Toth said.
The band had just one message to pass onto Lawrence before its show.
Skydyed brings their unique live show to Lawrence

What happens when live music and electronic music get mixed together? Skydyed happens. The band, consisting of bassist Andrew Slattery, guitarist Max Doucette and drummer Shane Eagen, performs at The Bottleneck this week.
The group got its start in Fort Collins, Colo. after Slattery and Doucette moved there from Massachusetts. All three members come from a large musical background. Doucette started playing music in fourth grade when he played clarinet for his school's band.
"Once my dad introduced me to the guitar I discovered classic rock artists like Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix and fell in love with the music," Doucette said. "By the time I got to high school, I made music my primary focus in life."
For Slattery, his inspiration for music also
stemmed from his father.
"My dad is a lifelong musician who worked as a children's entertainer [...] when I was growing up," Slattery said. "That inspired me to get into music myself, and I've been playing ever since."
The band tries to stick out from the crowd through its live shows, which take the audience on a journey through their use of electronic music.
of," Eagen said. "It always makes for a great time at our live shows."
"We work very hard to create a totally original sound that we are proud
"Our live shows bring together elements from the electronic music world
as well as the more hardhitting rock music world that we all grew up with." Slattery said. "The goal is to blend the two together in a tasteful, fun way that
creates a unique experience for every audience we play for."
This is not the first time Skydyed has performed in Lawrence. The band played
at The Bottleneck in April.
"We are excited to bring the Skydyed experience back to Lawrence," Slattery said.

This weekend brought the first loss of the season to the Kansas volleyball team (11-1) at the Stacey Clark Classic. After defeating Xavier (6-6) in five sets early on Friday (25-15, 20-25, 23-25, 25-23, 15-5). The No. 4 Jayhawks took on No. 14 Purdue later that evening.
Kansas' regular-season non-conference winning streak came to an end for the first time since 2014 at 25 matches. The Jayhawks took their first loss of the season as they fell to Purdue (9-1) in four sets (25-21, 24-26, 25-19, 25-14).
"We played a good team tonight. They were prepared and ready," said coach Ray Bechard in a press release. "We weren't."
Bottom line is, we have to learn from what we saw tonight."
Kansas seemed to follow that advice as they went on to face Southeasten Louisiana (1-11) for the teams' first-ever meeting on Saturday. This match proved easier for the Jayhawks as they won in just three sets (25-15, 25-17, 25-12).
It was a successful day for a pair of freshmen. Outside hitter Jada Burse saw her first career start and led the team with nine kills. Burse recorded five kills in just the first set. Defensive specialist Allie Nelson recorded her first career ace in the third set, followed by two more.
Bechard was pleased with the performance of some players who don't see much playing time such as Nelson and junior
defensive specialists Addison Barry and Tori Miller.

"They make it work in practice. They work their butt off and are extremely diligent about what they do," said Bechard. "Allie potentially could be our libero at some point in her career at Kansas. That's how good we feel about her...I was happy that Allie could get in there. I thought that's probably how she would play when
she got the opportunity."
The Jayhawks almost had as many service aces (seven) as they did service errors (eight). The Kansas defense held the Lions to a .011 hitting percentage. Whereas the Kansas offense had a .245 hitting percentage with 41 kills out of 106 attempts.
"I thought we performed pretty well. The hitting efficiency was a little bit to be desired and certainly that's something we're going to have to clean up prior to next week," Bechard said.

Kansas soccer loses draws in California
SKYLAR ROLSTAD
@SkyRolSports
In the most difficult weekend of the season for Kansas soccer, the team came away with a loss to 12th-ranked USC and a draw against No. 25 Pepperdine.
Southern California punished Kansas for defensive mistakes in a 2-0 loss. On Sunday against Pepperdine, the Jayhawks notched a 1-1 draw after double overtime expired. Grace Hagan scored the only goal on the weekend for the Jayhawks.
Though the Jayhawks suffered a shutout loss to USC, the team turned in a positive performance, one Kansas coach Mark Francis was proud of.
"I felt like we had a good game plan and the kids executed it exactly the way we wanted," Francis said. "We really made it tough on them for a good part of the game but, unfortunately, good teams like that take advantage of mistakes and they did that on two of our mistakes."
The Jayhawks made it through the first half scoreless. The Trojans jumped into the lead early, just under two minutes into the first half. Kansas held USC to seven shots in the first half to its six shots.
Things went downhill in the second half as the Jayhawks conceded more possessions to the Trojans. The Trojans took 14 shots in the second half, scoring both of their goals, and held Kansas to 5 shots.
Against the Pepperdine Waves on Sunday, Kansas
continued a scoring trend in recent games, save for Friday's loss, with Hagan scoring to take the lead in the first half. Besides the loss to USC, the only other time the Jayhawks have been shut out this season was Sept. 2, in a 1-0 double overtime loss to Nebraska.
Despite only two goals on the day, the match was packed with offense, but not much accuracy. Kansas and Pepperdine combined for 41 shots. Kansas, however, was only forced to make five saves and Pepperdine made six.
Fatigue after travel and tough matches for both teams on Friday must have played their part on Sunday. The Jayhawks took the lead in the 16th minute thanks to Hagan. Also in the first half, the Waves grabbed their goal in the 36th minute.
In both games this weekend, Kansas made a change in goalkeepers. Regan Gibbs started both games in goal for the Jayhawks, replacing regular starter Maddie Dobyns. Gibbs also played the second half of Kansas's 3-0 win over UMKC last Sunday.
After surviving a couple tough tests against ranked teams, the Jayhawks gear up for the start of the conference season.
Kansas takes on Texas Tech next Friday, Sept. 23, at Rock Chalk Park. That match kicks off at 7 p.m.

Turnovers punish KU in blowout loss to Memphis

@brianminimum
Chances of a comeback last week against Ohio were stopped by sloppy turnovers. On the road against Memphis, it was much worse in a 43-7 loss Saturday afternoon.
Redshirt junior quarterback Montell Cozart looks to throw the ball to a receiver against Rhode Island on Sept. 3.
Kansas won its home opener 55-6.
The first half was filled with turnovers, three coming from redshirt junior quarterback Montell Cozart and the fourth from sophomore Ryan Willis. It was only slightly better in the second half with Cozart's interception and sophomore Steven Sims' fumble.
Thirteen of Memphis' 33 first half points came from these turnovers, which included a Cozart interception returned for a touchdown at the end of the half.
The lone offensive bright

spot came on a 66-yard touchdown run by freshman running back Khalil Herbert.
Aside from that, the offense struggled and suffered from false starts and unsuccessful passes that started from the backfield. Kansas finished with a total of five penalties in the first half and finished the game with eight.
Despite the lopsided score, the biggest problem for the defense was an injury suffered by starting junior linebacker Joe Dineen, who left in the first quarter of the game.
To make matters worse, Kansas actually led in time of possession by over a minute.
After Cozart's struggles in the first half, head coach David Beaty sent Willis into
the game for the second half. The sophomore's limited playing time in the first half culminated in a fumble.
Beaty's early season tradition of alternating quarterbacks continued in the second half as well. Cozart finished with a 59 percent completion percentage for 87 yards and Willis finished with 69 percent passing for 80 yards.
At first it looked as if Cozart had fixed his turnover problems in the second half but that changed during a promising drive when Cozart threw his second pick of the game with Kansas at the 23-yard line of Memphis.
Despite the final score, Kansas' defense wasn't as bad as the loss would make it seem. The defense finished with five sacks and 10
tackles for loss.
Sophomore defensive end Dorance Armstrong Jr. had his best game of the season and finished with three tackles for a loss and
two sacks.

Aside from Herbert, who finished with 74 yards on 6 carries, there were two more standout freshmen.

Geography professor topples topography myth
Bryan
In 2014, Professor emeritus Jerome Dobson and architect Eric Smith set out to disprove the myth that Kansas is the flattest state in the country.
TANNER HASSELL @thassell17
It's not unheard of for someone to joke about how flat the state of Kansas is. It would seem some out-of-staters get a kick out of the old stereotype.
For students at the University however, the old cliche offers no relief from an exhausting hike across campus. Some Kansans know how the state levels out in the west, but just how flat is the Sunflower State as a whole?
According to the research of Professor Emeritus Jerome Dobson, Kansas is not nearly as flat as you think.
Tanner Hassell/KANSAN tate in the country.
Kansas was the seventh flattest state, according to Dobson's research. Florida came in at number one, followed by Illinois, North Dakota, and Louisiana.
In addition to geographical findings observed in the research, Dobson and co-author Josh Campbell polled to see which state people thought to be the flattest.
According to the research, 33 percent of all respondents thought Kansas to be the flattest state, while 23 percent said Florida. 77 percent of all the respondents, as well as 62 percent of respondents in Florida,
did not realize how flat the state actually is.
"I think a big part of it is how many trees Florida has. You can't always see those big vistas with so many trees. Being so close to the water is likely another part of it for some people," he said. "Many of those people in Florida just couldn't believe it was the flattest."
Dobson said the perception of Kansas being a flat state can be a big factor people consider when moving to or working in Kansas.
"People don't realize how the impression of Kansas being flat and desolate adds to its 'fly over' status," he said.
University alumnus and native Kansan Eric Smith said the stereotype certainly seemed to be true while growing up near Hugoton.
"I remember when I was a kid you could look all around and see lights in every direction. Sometimes you could look out and even see one of the neighboring towns in the distance," he said.
For Dobson, a Tennessee native, the worn out joke never seemed to fit, with all of the hilly terrain surrounding the Lawrence.
"Of course there are some flatter places in the west, but just about two-
thirds of the state is rolling and hilly," He said. "Even the plains aren't as flat as they seem. They're called the high plains for a reason. People don't often get to see all of the canyons and plateaus when they're driving east or west across the state."
Beyond addressing the perceived flatness of Kansas, Dobson said the research also has applications in a variety of fields.
"The research we conducted has a lot of commercial applications. One guy is using this data to research
how smaller aircraft survive crashes in certain terrains, and they actually survive better in flat areas," he said.
Smith said the research has many applications, particularly in a field like architecture.
"When it comes to architecture, the hilliness or flatness of an area is obviously a consideration. Knowing the layout of an area really plays into the placement of structures and how they're designed," he said.

▶ ELLE CLOUSE
@elle_clouse
A banner declaring support for the Black Lives Matter movement was stolen off of the front of the Ecumenical Campus Ministries building on campus Saturday evening.
Kim Brook, the administrator for ECM, said that the banner was cut down and taken around 8 p.m.
One witness, Justin Kim, a junior from Derby, said he and his friends had been walking home from a campus activity when they noticed a group of people tampering with the banner. Kim said the group was laughing and joking around as the event unfolded.
Three witnesses reported the incident to Brook.
"We saw a group of people come, and my friends saw them take the banner down, and then hop into their car," Kim said. "I think they saw us notice them, and they quieted down, and realized people had seen them. Then they drove off."
"A couple weeks ago, the banner was torn down," Brook said. "I think it has been torn down maybe twice, but always left there, never taken."
The ECM reported the incident to the police, in hopes that this event can help point to a larger issue.
"I hope the matter gets resolved and shows that there is a constant need for this dialogue in our
Brook explained that this is not a first-time experience for the ECM.
"What's really frustrating, is that a group like the ECM, would be targeted this way," Kim said. "Who, in my experience, has always been a group that has strived to be inclusive and accepting, and welcoming of people from all different walks and ways of life."

Mold creating problems for Corbin Hall residents
▶ HANNAH JOHNSON
@HannahjJuneHPPF
The mold problems are among several facility problems students have complained about since the start of the year. One room had a hole in the ceiling that was repaired this week, after being left un-repaired since the start of the school year.
New air conditioning units are being replaced in Corbin Hall this week, following complaints about mold by students and their parents.
Riley Welner, a freshman from Wichita, and her roommate, Kayla Conner, a freshman from Overland Park, said the hole was leaking water onto Welner's bed, so they put duct tape over it.
"It's really frustrating, we pay so much to live here and have to try to fix things ourselves," Welner said last week.
After returning from the Labor Day weekend, Conner and Welner said they noticed mold growing on their ceiling. One week later, water began pouring into the room through the ceiling at
"We stayed up until 2:30 in the morning waiting to hear back from maintenance and they wouldn't come fix it," Welner said. "It rained all night in my room and we filled up 2 trash cans full of water."
1 a.m., Welner said.
They're remodeling (Corbin) next year so I feel like they're not even trying to fix the big problems."
Riley Welner Corbin resident
Students said they started reporting mold problems at the beginning of the semester but the problem dragged on. Students even conducted their own mold test, which proved positive,
Students living in Corbin have also reported a broken air-conditioning unit in the lobby and water drainage problems in the bathrooms. But mold seems to be the most serious complaint.
Welner said.
Diana Robertson, director of Student Housing, said mold has only been found in one of the window air-conditioning units in Corbin, based on maintenance requests. The plan right now is to replace all window air-conditioning units as an added precaution.
Robertson said Student Housing had received calls from parents about the mold issue.
"We did receive some parent calls and each call was returned by our operations staff to explain how we were responding to their specific question/concern," Robertson wrote in an email.
As for the hole in the dorm room ceiling, Robertson said the delay occurred because housing had to hire a roofing company to make the repair.
Welner said she and her roommate, as well as other students, believe they've had allergic reactions to the mold.

For students who feel hounded by the stress and anxiety of college life, interacting with a furry friend could prove beneficial.
Pause 4 Pups, an event implemented through the collaboration of Watkins Health Services and Loving Paws Animal Therapy first began at the libraries during finals. However, the event was such a hit that the program directors have decided to branch out to other times and places on campus.
"It became so popular with students at the libraries, that we expanded it to the residence halls," said Kelsey Fortin, a health educator at Watkins.
Fortin said the program is beneficial for students, especially freshmen, who may feel homesick for their pets or just home in general.
"According to the National College Health Assessment, the number one academic impediment for
KU students is specifically stress, so we are using animal therapy in stress reduction," Fortin said.
The dogs that are present at Pause 4 Pups are licensed therapy dogs that go through a series of steps to become certified. The program worked to get special approval to have the dogs in any building on campus. Because the dogs cannot be in a carpeted area, tarps are often used. The programs are always away from exits in buildings, and have signage throughout the location.
Loving Paws Animal Therapy provides the dogs for the events, which include various breeds and both male and females.
Raven Rajani, founder and executive director of Loving Paws Animal Therapy, said there wasn't always a local animal therapy service, but now, the therapy dogs are able to provide their de-stressing services to those who need it.
"These dogs bring joy, good health, and good living to vulnerable populations," Rajani said.
Chelsea Tinney is a
freshman from Dodge City. Wednesday night, Pause 4 Pups visited Tinney and other students outside the University's scholarship halls on Louisiana Street. The students said they enjoyed interacting with dogs through Pause 4 Pups, and mentioned how it is effective in reducing stress.
"I think this will help with stress, especially for the people that miss their dogs," Tinney said.
In addition to the Pause 4 Pups events that will be held throughout the school year, Fortin will bring her

3. In particular, Lake encouraged women to vote
Even though women have voted more than men since 1980, Lake said it is vital for women to vote this year.

SE2, an insurance company based in Topeka, will be at the career fair on Sept. 22. SE2 is partnering with the University to provide internship opportunities for students.
Business school, KU to pilot internship program
CHANDLER BOESE
@Chandler_Boees
A new internship program might allow students to be paid through the University for doing an internship — which means getting actual money, not just credit hours.
"We think it will be a way to really develop the structural connections that our companies and students at our universities need," said Zoe Gruber, the director of workplace training and education for the Board of Regents.
The Board of Regents, the organization that oversees all the public colleges and universities in Kansas, initiated the Innovative Career Education program as a way to build relationships between Kansas companies and universities.
Though the Regents eventually wants to expand the program to more universities and more
companies, they are starting small with the University Gruber said. For now, the program is hoping to connect University students with SE2, a technologybased insurance company based in Topeka.
"It's a great opportunity for us as a company. We really like having interns and the energy they bring to the company," said Janet Dulohery, head of human resources.
Neeli Bendapudi, the University's provost and executive vice chancellor, said via email that she thinks the program is a great move for the Regents and the University.
"This initiative and creative program showcases how strong partnerships across higher education, the state and private industry can result in meaningful education experiences for students, a better prepared workforce for our employers and lower college debt for our
citizens," she said.
The students who receive the internship will spend eight weeks learning about the company and participating in the projects. During this time, called Phase 1, the student's wages will be paid partly by SE2 and partly by the Regents.
When the students graduate from the University, they will have a chance to join SE2 as a full-time employee. After a year of working with the company, the state will offer the graduates a $5,000 reduction in their student loans and another $5,000 after a second year.
After interns complete Phase 1, they and the company have the option to move onto Phase 2, during which time the students will continue working part-time with SE2 until graduation. During this time, a senior employee at SE2 will also be assigned to each student to mentor them.
Both the company and the students will have a chance to opt in or opt out at every stage in the process, Gruber said, but the hope is that both sides will see the program all the way through.
"It's a
It's a great opportunity for us as a company. We really like having interns and the energy they bring to the company."
"When it comes to the other side of it and it's January of senior year, we want to make sure we're all committed to going down a good path that hopefully leads to a career at SE2,"
Janet Dulohery Head of SE2 human resources
Dulohery said.
As a primarily technology-based company working in a state with relatively low unemployment, SE2 sometimes struggles to recruit enough people, Dulohery said. By piloting an internship program, the company hopes to not only bring in new voices but also develop students into full-time employees.
Dulohery said she's glad to be a part of a program to connect University students with Kansas businesses, because she believes there are opportunities in Kansas that graduates don't know about when they're looking for employment.
Gruber said the program with the University and SE2 is only a pilot program, though. The Regents hope it will eventually grow.
"This is just one more connection to capitalize on those opportunities," she said.
"With a pilot initiative like this, our hope is that
we can replicate this with other companies and other universities." she said.
For now, though, the SE2 internship is only open to University students. While it's mostly being arranged through the Business Career services, Director Jennifer Jordan said it's a joint initiative between all of the career centers on campus.
Jordan said she encourages students to take advantage of this opportunity because "the perks and parameters go beyond what is typical."
The company is hiring interns in several different departments, Jordan said, and the program is open to students from any major or program. For more information, students can talk to SE2 at the Business Career Fair on Thursday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. in the Kansas Union.

▶ ELLEN BERTELS
@ellenbertels
When I introduce myself to someone new,I usually say something along the lines of, "Hi, I'm Ellen Bertels. I'm a senior.I study English and Italian,but I'm also pre-law."
That's what I say, but often it isn't what people hear. Many, I worry, hear this: "I study English and Italian, but I'm also pre-law, so don't worry, I have chosen to do something practical in order to ensure financial security for my future. Good news, right?"
But I don't say that, and I don't mean that. My classes as an English major have made me sharper and better at written and oral communication than any other single experience I have had in college. My study of Italian has broadened my perspective of global culture, informs my understanding of policy both foreign and domestic, and allows me to think and interact in entirely new ways. I would not be able to get into law schools if it were not for the experiences I have had in both of these subjects.
So why do I feel the need to defend my area of study?
cludes that people with liberal arts degrees are often as financially successful in the long term as their counterparts. While starting salary might not be as high, liberal arts majors eventually enter graduate school, or integrate their skills into a workforce that demands excellent communication skills, global awareness and creative thinking.
A recent article in the Wall Street Journal details the career of Andy Anderegg, a KU English major and MFA graduate who is now the executive editor of Soda Media. The article, which is pragmatically titled "Good News Liberal-Arts Majors: Your Peers Probably Won't Outearn You Forever," con-
This is not to say that "practical" majors aren't worth pursuing, or that they don't offer specialized skills necessary to compete in their respective fields. It is
true that you are statistically more likely to get a high-paying job right out of college with an engineering degree than an English degree. The world would not run without highly qualified engineers or well-trained accountants.
But the world also needs storytellers and editors, polyglots and politicians. While they might not be "career-ready degrees," as US News explains, students with liberal arts degrees learn necessary skills such as critical thinking, written and oral communication, and cultural competency. These are almost universally marketable and useful skills.
Butth
But the world also needs storytellers and editors, polyglots and politicians."
If I have learned anything from the incredible mentorship I have experienced in college, it is this: Passionate students who actively pursue subjects and careers that inspire them have every opportunity for success, regardless
of how "practical" their area of study is. We should not underestimate the value of a well-rounded education.
I'll say it as clearly is I can: Hello. My name is Ellen Bertels. I am an English and Italian major. I feel confident and prepared to enter the work force, not in spite of the things I have chosen to study, but because of them.
Ellen Bertels is a senior from Overland Park studying English and Italian.

Foster: Donations from corporate groups to the University present conflict of interest

These cuts have shifted costs to students, as evidenced by a five percent increase in tuition for the 2016- 2017 school year. Though the tuition increase recoups more than was cut in state aid, the University continues to struggle to balance its desire for growth and increased
In May, Governor Sam Brownback approved a $7 million cut in the University's state funding, $3.95 million of which was cut from the Lawrence campus.

creasingly involved in university funding. How can foundations run by the incredibly rich and powerful Koch brothers donate to public education without a conflict of interest? The Koch brothers' strong ties to Republican campaigns indicate a strong bias. This could easily translate into a promotion within the business school of conservative economic principles like deregulation and privatization.
Some colleges have responded to this struggle by seeking out funding from private sources, like Capitol Federal, or foundations headed by the Koch brothers, a duo known for their generous donations to Republican candidates via super PACs.
I have to ask about the ramifications of private corporations becoming inthe University to establish the KU Center for Applied Economics, which is housed within the business school. It was also found that this center hired Art Hall, a former economist at Koch Industries, Inc., as its director. Furthermore, released documents indicate that performance evaluations are based on how well the center disseminates its research rather than the standard peer review process.

As former graduate students David Cook and Ruth Stamper phrase it in an opinion column for the Wichita Eagle, the Center attempts to, "warp public opinion and public policy toward unfettered free-market capitalism and an erosion of state services - all of which is done under the legitimizing facade of the university."
Corporate funding has influenced the University to
involve itself in possibly disreputable research and has endangered its standing as a prominent research institution.
In order to preserve the University's integrity, students, faculty and administrators must rally for a reversal in state funding trends. The solution for funding shortfall problems must come from the source — the state government that created the problem when it decided to slash college financing — not corporations seeking to advance their interests through a public medium.

University alumnus Michael Kirkendoll tries to use his compositions to offer commentary on social issues.
Professor offers social commentary through contemporary piano pieces
OMAR SANCHEZ
@OhMySanchez
on a recent afternoon, assistant professor and pianist Michael Kirkendoll had just finished teaching a class and stopped to order a quick coffee - a plain black shot of espresso - before heading home.
"My wife and I come here a lot. They actually sponsored a concert series," Kirkendoll said. "Decade is one of my favorites and it's on my way home, too."
It was on the second floor of Decade, a little, white-bricked coffee shop on Delaware Street. Local artistry hangs on the walls and pottery perched on the windows look out onto the street below. Soothing 70's soul music — like Stevie Wonder's "Superstition" — played in the background, adding to the ambiance.
Kirkendoll, an Andover native, has worked on his piano pieces at coffee shops like this one to become a
widely-respected pianist with a contemporary style. But for the majority of his work, Kirkendoll said a more comfortable place lay elsewhere.
"It's mostly pass and go for me," he said. "My think tank is just in my kitchen. I usually just stay home with a glass of wine and work."
Kirkendoll, a self-proclaimed "deep hobbyist" of wine and wine-tasting, focused on contemporary piano after working with composers during his time in college. Kirkendoll said it is an avenue that offers the opportunity for social commentary, one that he couldn't provide in the same way with writing or other media.
Kirkendoll has his bachelor's and doctorate from the University. In 2010, he founded a summer music program in Cortona, Italy. Now, he's returned to his alma mater as a professor, where he instills in future generations of musicians what he has
learned in his long career with the contemporary form.
"I like all art, all literature and movies, but I felt that the ability of 21st century music to provide commentary on the world we actually live in is really important and necessary," Kirkendoll said. "I just developed a passion for that; being able to play music that's influenced and/or inspired by either the chaos of modern society or the joys and pains."
But that isn't a knock on Kirkendoll's passion. As Pierce said, Kirkendoll brings "a sense of whimsy and delight in the process of making music that is really contagious for those around
Forrest Pierce, a fellow professor and music composer, has worked with Kirkendoll since they met 11 years ago while Kirkendoll was still working on his doctorate. Pierce finds these themes in Kirkendoll's work to be unique, complex and technically demanding.
him."
It is a curiosity and enthusiasm in his work that has brought Kirkendoll to work with Pierce overseas with performances in Europe and at the Cortona Sessions in Italy.
But if one wanted to accurately describe Kirkendoll's array of work, they don't have to look further than his recent on-campus program performance Sept. 18.
When I play,I want people to leave just with thought."
Michael Kirkendoll
Assistant professor/pianist
Kirkendoll performed a piece entitled "De Profundis," based on the Oscar Wilde letter that detailed the playwright's and novelist's own imprisonment in the late 19th century for gross
indecency.
Through his piece, Kirkendoll said it helps to illustrate "the desire from all people to be respected and to be thought of as beautiful, wonderful and worthy."
Social justice, religion and spirituality are just some of the few themes in Kirkendoll's work. While he acknowledges that there is still a ways to go for certain groups of oppressed people to be heard and appreciated, Kirkendoll said his music can help spark thought into the mind of those who listen.
"When I play, I want people to leave just with thought," he said. "I don't care for people to agree with me or really like the music that I play. But at least to have an appreciation for it and leave with a feeling of consideration for both the music and subject matter."

'In the Shadow of Cortés'exhibit comes to KU

In the Shadow

From Varadero to Mérida City
Ashley Hocking/KANSAN The Spencer Research Library is featuring the "In the Shadow of Cortes: From Veracruz to Mexico City" photography exhibition, which was designed and prepared by Kathleen Myers, a professor at Indiana University.

Ashley Hocking/KANSAN by Kathleen Myers a
American & Caribbean Studies, in partnership with KU Libraries, is currently hosting the traveling exhibition "In the Shadow of Cortés: From Vera Cruz to Mexico City." The exhibition is designed by Indiana University Professor Kathleen Myers and features a display of photographs of Central-Mexican culture, accompanied with historic documents and artifacts contributed by the Spencer Research Library.
The exhibition can be found on the third floor of the Spencer Research Library and is open to the public. The exhibition will run through Dec.10.
Caitlin Donnelly, head of public services at the Spencer Research Library and co-project manager for the exhibit, said both the traveling exhibition and the artifacts from the library archives will "provide glimpses into the pre-Hispanic world in Mexico" and the impact the Spanish conquest had on the history of the country.
The in-depth look at the Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes and his colonization of Mexico also adds a context to the knowledge of Mexico we know today.
Specifically, Aron Muci, communication assistant for the Center of Latin American & Caribbean Studies, said it will be contributing to the political

rhetoric of what Americans know about Hispanic culture.
"Right now, I think our rhetoric - political rhetoric in particular - in this country has this very singular perception of Mexico and its culture," Muci said. "A one- side portrayal of the country, culture and history."
The exhibition attempts to change the common narrative by adding a dimensionality to the lives of those of Hispanic heritage. Muci said testimony and anecdotes that accompany the photographs on display help this effort, allowing the public to further imagine the "harsh colonial realities" and what has resulted
since.
This exhibition is an important conversation starter.
As Muci puts it, "If we're not imagining the diversity of people that exist there and the very real community that exists, I think then we fail to understand what's really important."
An opening exhibition reception will be held Sept. 28 at 5:30 p.m., and a roundtable discussion with Myers will follow on Nov. 4 at 10:30 a.m.
Hours to visit the exhibition are 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m.-1 p.m. on Saturday. For more information, visit spencer.lib.ku.edu.
In the shadow of CORTES.
The Latin American & Caribbean Studios department hopes the photography exhibit will educate people culturally.

Cozart accounted for three of Kansas' six turnovers, with two interceptions and a fumble. Despite that, coach David Beaty won't let his most experienced quarterback take all the blame.
ning backs' blocks.
"That falls squarely on me," Beaty said during his Tuesday press conference.

Beaty also stressed that it's not just on the quarterback or on him, but on things like the offensive line's protection, the receivers' routes and run-
Last week, Beaty announced that he'd be taking over coaching kick and punt returners.
Beaty stresses improvements with national rankings
In his long opening statement, Beaty hammered home Kansas' national statistical rankings to show the positive changes in 2016.
After week three last year, Kansas ranked 119 in the country in third down defense, and it's now No.42. Last year, it was No.112 in the country in passing yards allowed and is now ninth. It was 120 in total defense, but now No.62. Those were among the many statistical categories that Beaty shared during his press conference.
There are still some negatives that Beaty noted. Kansas ranks 100 in the country in first downs and No.114 in
rushing offense, down from No.64 in 2015.
Kansas has yet to play a Power Five opponent, but Beaty's point still stands about the team's improvement.
In terms of ranking, Kansas' next opponent, Texas Tech, ranks first in college football in passing offense.
Wide receivers "disgusted" with performance against Memphis
The first two games of the season featured huge games from wide receivers like junior LaQvionte Gonzalez and sophomore Steven Sims Jr., who both had breakout games. Against Memphis, it
wasn't as pretty.
The leading receiver in Kansas' week three loss was Gonzalez with just 44 yards. Wide receivers coach Jason Phillips insisted that the receivers themselves weren't too proud of their performances.
"We had a little bit of a setback last week," Phillips said. "The encouraging thing was when they came into the meeting room yesterday and we talked about it, they were genuinely disgusted with what they put on tape."
When asked about his evaluation of the wide receiver position, Phillips said that he's more "looking forward to evaluating" the players after a full season.
Phillips also mentioned that this week's emphasis was on increasing the tempo to match other air raid offenses.
"If we can do that and minimize our mistakes, I think we have a fighting chance at being very successful," he said.

Locker room upgrades help build team cohesion
▶ SEAN COLLINS
@seanzie_UDK
Senior safety Bazie Bates IV is the best Madden player on the team. At least, that's what he told reporters.
"Bazie doesn't have any credibility," redshirt junior Montell Cozart joked. While Bates thinks he is the best, Cozart would rank himself and sophomore offensive lineman Clyde McCauley III at the top of the totem pole. "He hasn't played against Clyde or I, so he can't talk."
Madden has become a popular part of locker room life for the Jayhawks. But after only three weeks in the locker room, the players haven't yet had the
opportunity to play with the whole team watching.
Video games are just one of the options the team has for entertainment in the new $2 million locker room. The spacious lounge room has a pool table, foosball table and a Multicade arcade game.
While the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in the team's new locker room have created a way to bond and compete off the field, the team thinks they can have an impact outside the Locker room itself.
"Ever since we got it redone we have bonded as a team more than the way it was at first," sophomore Dorance Armstrong Jr. said. "We are in there a lot more often."
In the new locker room, a controllable lighting system lines the ceiling, tinting the large area with shades of neon blue and red, giving the room a futuristic feel. On each wooden locker, above the storage space for uniforms, pads and whatever else the players need, the owner of the locker is announced by name, hometown and Twitter handle.
All the details in the locker room, which were revealed to the team on Aug. 28, have helped the Jayhawks become a closer group, and the coaching staff has taken notice.
"It gives those guys a great rest haven to get away from everything and then also be in the building,"
wide receivers coach Jason Phillips said. "They are here more."
Ever since we got it redone we have bonded as a team more than the way it was at first."
Veterans that have been at Kansas experienced the old locker rooms, and said the new renovations have changed the team's relationship with each other for the better. The large open area has become a space where the whole team can
be together, instead of in smaller groups.
"I feel like ever since we got it redone we have bonded as a team more," Armstrong said. "It brings a lot of chemistry on and off the field, so when we get on the field we are more comfortable with the people we usually aren't around."
Armstrong believes that the renovation will make a big difference when it comes to recruiting, making it easier for the Jayhawks to rebuild.
"Last year, we had a lot of recruits and the locker room wasn't even what it is now, but now that we have it redone we will have a lot more big-time recruits coming in," Armstrong said.
The renovations came
quickly and in perfect timing for the 2016 season, but this was something coach David Beaty needed athletic director Sheahon Zenger for after last season's struggles.
"I went to [Zenger] and said, 'look, this is what we need to do and we've got to do it now. We've got to do it yesterday,'" Beaty said.
Zenger then presented the team with a new locker room for the season. Beaty, like the rest of the team, was thrilled.
"That's going to help us moving forward," Beaty said. "That's how we are going to continue to work on improving around here. It's about developing and recruiting."
Kansas tennis looks for strong start in Arkansas
► JAMES BUCKLEY
@JBuckets80
After a rigorous offseason regimen, the Kansas tennis team will begin its season at the Little Rock Invitational on Friday, Sept. 23. With all the practice during the offseason, the players and coach Todd Chapman are anxious to get started.
"I think they're excited to get out and play somebody other than their teammates," Chapman said. "All summer, six of the seven were here and they've been beating up on each other," Chapman said. "The most exciting thing for us coaches is it gives us a chance to evaluate really where we're at as a team."
The teams Kansas will be competing against are Arkansas, TCU and West Virginia. TCU was the Big 12 tournament champion last year. Should Kansas face either TCU or West Virginia, it could be a preview for the spring postseason.
However, a Big 12 matchup is only a possibility. Chapman knows for sure, though, that the tournament will be a good gauge for freshmen Tanya Nikolaeva and Maria Toran Ribes.
"Our returning players know what to expect, so that sets them up well to be successful," Chapman said. "Our two freshman will get the chance to see what a good level of college competition looks like."
After the success of last season - when Chapman
was named the ITA Central Region Coach of the Year and Anastasiya Rychagova was Freshman of the Year
the Jayhawks have put themselves on a higher level. Extending that success of last year, when the team made its first NCAA Tournament appearance in 17 years, starts with this tournament, according to Chapman.
"One thing our players have to realize, is we're going to have a target on our back for the first time in a long, long time as a program," Chapman said. "We're not going to sneak up on anybody, so we're going to get everybody's best shot."

As the volleyball team defeated Oklahoma on Wednesday in three sets, over 1,000 fans at Horeisi Family Athletics Center were rowdy, full of life and creating a home field advantage, as always.
That will not be the case for Kansas on Saturday.
No. 8 Kansas will take on No. 5 Texas, at Texas this Saturday. A tough task, no matter the sport.
When the two teams played last year, Texas won
the first match in three sets, then again later in the season in five sets. To add more gravity to the situation, those two losses were the only ones Kansas received in the regular season last year.
Going into the match, Kansas had dipped to No. 8 in the AVCA rankings and had an 11-1 record, sitting atop the Big 12. Texas is ranked fifth with an 9-2 record and is second in the Big 12.
Knowing the talent on both teams, coach Ray Be-
chard is excited to play, but wants to make sure the players can handle the heightened competition.
"We don't [want to] go in there and play abandoned, aggressive and like it's 'what do you have to lose?' Bechard said. "It's good timing for us to go early and see where we're at against one of the elite teams in the country."
To get the team in the mentality he wants them to have, Bechard has been taking extra measures to prepare the team for close
sets. On Wednesday, in the 29-27 third set, they got one of those tests, though it was in front of a home crowd.
"We want our team to be good in those moments," Bechard said. "We put them in 22-22 moments everyday in practice, but there's not a lot of people in the stands, and we're not on ESPNU. You just play. You'll see as we go into Texas and the Big 12, there will be a lot of games that won't end at 25, so we just have to respond well at the end."
Many of the Kansas
players are from Texas, making this match like a homecoming game of sorts. Freshman Jada Burse, from DeSoto, Texas, is making sure when she comes home, everybody is there to see.
"I have a ton of family coming in on Saturday," Burse said. "My immediate family are really excited to come because they haven't been to a game yet, so this will be their first time seeing me play. I'm really excited for that."
As the stage is set, the Jayhawks have their first
opportunity to square off against the best in the country Saturday. This will be the team's first match of the season against an opponent ranked above them.
Saturday, when the teams play in Austin, will also be the team's first of two chances to avenge last season's losses to the Longhorns, and become the premier Big 12 team.

KU wins first Big 12 match in sweep vs. Oklahoma
▶ TIFFANY LITTLER
@litt33
The Kansas volleyball team (12-1) swept the Oklahoma Sooners (9-5) on Wednesday to mark the beginning of the Big 12 season. No.8 Kansas won in three sets (25-17, 25-13, 29-27).
There were no lead changes until the third set when Oklahoma went up 9-8 to lead for the first time in the match. This led to a total of 12 lead changes. Both teams produced two tie scores in the first set and 17 in the third set.
"Anytime you're going to play volleyball with a good team you're gonna have some momentum swings and certainly that's what happened," coach Ray Bechard said. "[Oklahoma's] coach is as competitive as anybody you'll coach against. So their team's not gonna go away. We knew they would fight. Jayhawks just a little bit better fight at the end, thank goodness."
Junior setter Ainise Havili was setting a balanced attack in the third set as freshman outside hitter Jada Burse and junior outside hitter Kelsie Payne both had seven kills going into the middle of the third set. Payne had a total of nine kills. Junior outside hitter Madison Rigdon and senior middle blocker Tayler Soucie both led the team with ten.

"Most important stat of the match, they came in hitting .285 and as you can see defensively I thought it was our best effort probably of the year," Bechard said. "We held them to

.092, a team that's got a ton of weapons. First and foremost I thought that was the key to the match. Our goal is to hold teams under .200 and to hold them under .100 speaks volumes."
Burse saw her second career start and produced four kills on five swings in just the first set. She had eight kills overall. Burse seems to be adjusting well to playing collegiately and getting used to the speed of the game, however she was a little nervous for her first Big 12 conference game.
"It was super exciting. I was kind of nervous at first but my teammates helped me get rid of that," Burse said.
The Jayhawks will travel to Austin to take on No. 5 Texas on Saturday. Texas (9-2) gave Kansas two of its three losses in the 2015 season. Game time is set for a 7 p.m. start on Saturday. The match will be broadcast on the Longhorn Network.

"From ashes to immortality."
This phrase,
Lawrence's city motto,
sums up what the
Kansan staff learned
while researching this
section: Lawrence
is resilient. (It was
burned down twice,
after all.)
We had fun researching this section. I hope that, whether you've lived near Lawrence your whole life or this is your first semester at the University, you learn something interesting about the city and campus we all call home.
I would like to thank KU History;
Lawrence's numbered streets were originally named for New England public figures.
the Watkins Museum of History, and the Kansas and Douglas County Historical Societies for the wealth of information they provide to those curious about Lawrence's history. Unless otherwise noted, all of the facts listed here came from them.

Lawrence was first surveyed in October 1854 by A. D. Searl. Upon receiving the information in Boston, a map was drawn up, and the unique-to-Lawrence street names were established.

New England Aid Society," Armitage said.
Lawrence currently features streets that are labeled by numbers. However, this was not always the case, according to Steve Nowak, the director of Watkins Museum of History.
Gracie Williams/KANSAN
"The numbered streets were originally named for important public figures, mostly from New England. For example, 6th Street was Pinckney Street," Nowak said. "The names were changed to numbers in the early 1900s to make navigating downtown a little easier."
As for Lawrence's main street, Massachusetts Street, Armitage thinks that having a historical name is unique to Lawrence.
"The people who
printed this map in Boston, they named our main street Massachusetts," Armitage said. "It's quite unusual really. You go across the country, and the traditional business street is often called main street, just a generic name, but we have a state name, because of our founding."
Geographically, Massachusetts Street is larger than the others due to the founders' decision.
"Massachusetts Street is Lawrence's main street and is wider than the rest of the streets," Nowak said.
The remaining streets
are named after colonies and states, according to Nowak.
"East of Mass. Street, the streets are named after the other 12 original colonies, starting with New England, then the mid-Atlantic colonies, and finally the southern colonies." Nowak said. "West of Mass. Street, the streets are named for the states of the Union, in the order in which they achieved statehood."

The scholarship is awarded to a limited number of students each year who have shown great promise in the fields of science, technology, engineering or mathematics, according to the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation website. The scholarship was created with the intention to keep the U.S. on the cutting edge of technology.
Overland Park received the scholarship for her research and work in the field of chemical engineering, while senior Emily Smith of Olathe received the scholarship for her research in physics.

Lynn said her journey into chemical engineering began during her senior year of high school after a visit to the University.

ambassador that was giving the tour worked in Dr. Tang's lab, which is how I got involved there," she said. "They do X-ray crystallography on viral proteins. What we're looking at are what viral proteins look like
to do is take a protein from another more stable virus and fuse it with Hep C, which will hopefully allow us to work with it more efficiently."
Smith's research, on the other hand, took her from Kansas all the way to Geneva, Switzerland, where she help conduct physics research at CERN, a nuclear research center there.
"I actually started doing physics research with professors Baringer and Bean the summer before my freshman year," she said. "This stuff is pret-

tombaugh wanted nothing more than to become a Jayhawk and graduate from the University. When his family's finances held him back, the 20-year-old began crafting his own telescopes with lenses and mirrors in the hopes of being accepted to the
Lowell Observatory, where he planned to save money for school. What he never imagined was that he would discover a new planet, previously only known as Planet X.
"He's a great example of someone with drive and dedication to pursue something to the end," Bruce Twarog, a professor in the department of physics
and astronomy, said. "Months on end went into discovering Planet X and
someone without a degree or much professional experience proved it was there."
Tombaugh spent days at a time comparing images and tracking the unknown mass that was believed to be the ninth planet in the solar system. When he finally proved its existence on Feb.18, 1930,the news went global.
"This was the first planet discovered in about a century," Barbara Anthony-Twarog, a professor of astronomy and astrophysics, said. "And it was what allowed him to achieve his goal of finally coming to KU."
The unorthodoxy of being such a young and uneducated astronomer brought Tombaugh world-renown fame and convinced the University to grant him a scholarship that allowed him to earn his bachelor's
in astronomy. Tombaugh later earned his master's degree, also from the University.
"He was a humble, dedicated young man from Kansas who loved Lawrence and loved KU and persevered to achieve his goals," Twarog said. "He showed that you don't have to be a doctor or someone important to do great work and make a real difference."

Lawrence is not actually modeled after Boston
ANDREW ROSENTHAL
@rosentrotter_
16.
University students may have heard the story of how Lawrence was initially modeled after the city of Boston when it was established in 1854. In truth, the city was not modeled after Boston at all, but it still holds many ties to the New England region and the state of Massachusetts in particular.
Many migrant parties traveled from around New England to secure and fight for the establishment of a free state in Kansas, according to Monica Davis, a research volunteer at the Watkins Museum of History.
"The ties to Massachusetts are really this idea of education and community that still exist in Lawrence," Brittany Keegan, curator of the Watkins Museum of History, said.
The May 1943 edition of the "Kansas Historical Quarterly," published by the Kansas State Historical Society, explains that Kansas settlers originated primarily from Boston. Other settlers came from parts of Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire and New York. A majority of the settlers' trips were funded by the New England Emigrant Aid Company. Amos A. Lawrence, the company's treasurer, was a primary donor of these trips.
The focus of the New England Emigrant Aid Company was making Kansas
a free state is not the same as taking an abolitionist stance.
"There is a difference between Abolitionists and Free Staters," Davis said. "If you were from the north, you were assumed to be an abolitionist. Those who came to Lawrence were Free Staters. [They] just wanted land."
A "Boston Journal" editorial held at the Watkins Museum stated that $25.00 would cover a trip to Lawrence for one person plus 100 pounds of his or her belongings. Meals would cost extra.
According to "Wonderful Old Lawrence" by Elfriede Fischer Rowe, "The first contingent arrived by train at St. Louis August 1, 1854
and Dr. Robinson met them. They took a steamer up the Missouri River to Kansas City, and then the final 40 miles to Lawrence on foot. Ox teams were used to carry their baggage."
Franklin Haskell, a Kansas settler from North Brookfield, MA, was the father of Dudley Haskell, who was a U.S. Representative. In 1887, The United States Indian Industrial Training School changed its name to "Haskell Institute" in honor of Dudley. Today, the school is known as Haskell Indian Nations University.
As settlers mapped the town, they chose Massachusetts Street to be the heart of the community, and made it 20 feet wider than any other street.
There was no debate about the main street of the town. The settlers were far more concerned
about establishing Kansas as a free state.
On May 30, 1854 the Kansas-Nebraska Act was passed, which allowed states entering the union to decide, based on popular sovereignty, if they were to be a slave state or a free state.
Missouri was a pro-slavery state at
the time that Kansas became a free state. Because of this, numerous Missouri-Kansas conflicts took place in Lawrence, according to Davis.

Lawrence settlers considered New Boston. Yankeetown, Excelsior and Wakarusa as names for their new town.
Since its settlement in the fall of 1854 by the New England Emigrant Aid Company, Lawrence has been a stage for fervent political activism especially with its involvement in Bleeding Kansas.
For a brief period of time, settlers and future governor of
But the name of Lawrence, chosen as a tribute to wealthy anti-slavery reformist Amos Lawrence, wasn't always a sure bet.
Kansas Charles Robinson con-
Robinson conti templated names such as New Boston, Yanketown and Wakarusa.
However, Dean said the name was rejected due to an unfavorable translation.
Virgil Dean, consulting editor of the "Kansas History: A Journal of Central Plains," said that while New Boston and Yankeetown were potential choices for the town name, Wakarusa was actually the official name of the community for a brief period.
The name Wakarusa was derived from the Wakarusa River that crosses through the city.
Steve
Nowak, executive director of the Watkins Museum of History, seconded this. He said that the name "Wakarusa" translated to "rump hide" on a horse, which, in the end, "wasn't the kind of phrase to name a town after."
New Boston and Yankeeetown fell into their own category, as Lawrence's connection with the state of Massachusetts brought those names into consideration.
Dating back to the opening of settlement for the state of Kansas, anti-slavery
groups such as the New England Emigrant Aid Company were "really politically motivated to populate the territory with free state votes." Nowak said.
That group, which was in part funded by Amos Lawrence, came from the Boston area.
In the end, however, Nowak said Governer Robinson decided to keep a thriving relationship with Amos Lawrence for future funding.
So, Lawrence was chosen as the official city name.
"Then, he gave [another] monetary contribution to the community," Nowak said. "Some of that became the seed money that the residents of Lawrence used for the University of Kansas."

In 1970, amid a campus in protest the Union went up in flames.
TANNER HASSELL
@thassell17
Today, the Memorial Union is a popular stop on campus for students and visitors alike. But almost 50 years ago the building was nearly burnt to the ground as anti-war and racial tensions came to a head in April 1970.
A week of tension in an era of civil unrest, referred to by some as the "days of rage" escalated drastically when the Union burned out of control through the nighttime hours of April 20 and into the early morning hours of April 21, according to
KU History. The blaze caused nearly a million dollars worth of damage and the case remains unsolved to this day.
University alumnus Russell "Rusty" Leffel said the sight was something he will never forget.
"I was president of my fraternity at the time, so my place was to keep track of the 60-some people living in the house," Leffel said, "Seeing that
fire on the horizon was terrible, it was awful. I can see it right now in my head. It's a sight I'll never be able to forget."
Leffel said there was a general feeling of deep concern following the fire, not just about the
happenings on campus, but on issues that the nation as a whole was facing during that time.
"The thing for stu-

"I lived in a house down by where the Wheel is. Myself and a few friends were sitting outside when we saw an orange glow, which could only be a fire, so we ran up the hill and saw it was engulfed in flames," he said.
Awbrey said it was a time of anticipation and tension on campus.
"It was kind of a combination of anticipation and expectation," he said. "There was really this heightened era of tension and everyday you just wondered if something was going to happen. All the time you worried that something was about to happen."
50 THINGS
For Awbrey, the Union burning was an awe-inspiring sight, but not one that necessarily caused any fear.
"It was more or less we weren't surprised. We were thinking,
'Well, they did a good job,' if burning down our Union was what they had in mind. So it wasn't fear or anything," he said. "The imagery was really strong, being such a large building burning at night. The heat from the building, the color of the flames, the contrast of the firemen doing their thing, hoses going in, just a lot of activity. No one was yelling or screaming or anything like that. It was just really amazing."
Awbrey, who had finished his term as student body president only two weeks before the fire, was highly involved in activist protests on campus, and even spent two weeks in jail after being arrested following the fire.
"I had just turned the job over to the next president at the time. I was very much a campus activist at the time, so we just waited to see what would happen next," he
said. "Right after the fire, the city instituted a curfew which got everyone going. There were a lot of demonstrations and around 60 people got arrested,
including myself. We were all hauled down to the Lawrence Police Station and put in jail. I went to court that next morning and was sentenced to six months in jail, which of course I appealed. So I ended up spending two weeks in jail that following August."

of starting the blaze, according to KU History. Some believed the fire was started by an outside group, but Awbrey said he suspects it was someone within the University community.
there were all sorts of rumors about who did it, like a black student did it or an outside arson group did it, but I'm almost certain it was done by an activist
"Everybody was asking who did it and
in the KU community," he said. "I'm 99 percent sure I know who did it and I know the person who provided accelerant for it, which is what they used. It was a homegrown arson, not some outside conspiracy," he said.
Leffel, on the other hand, would become a key player in student activism following the fire, giving a presentation called "Cause for Concern," which called students to action in the face of major budget cuts to the University and key faculty leaving due to the chaotic environment.
The University created a student activist award in Leffel's name, to commemorate his actions during such an uncertain time.
Leffel said he still refers to that year as a turn for the worst, but also said it was a time that today's students and activists should look to when considering modern issues.
"It was a time that really made you question what our country is. What was our country going to become? What did our constitution mean? Were we going to honor the words in our constitution, or what direction were we headed in? These are all questions students should be asking themselves today, and you need look no further than the words written on the Campanile," he said.
The phrase to which Leffel refers is by Allen Crafton, founder and former chairman of the speech and drama department at the University. It reads, "Free government does not bestow repose upon its citizens, but sets them in the vanguard of battle to defend the liberty of every man."

A grave in the pioneer cemetery on West Campus.

ocated on West Campus and hidden among trees and bushes, the Pioneer Cemetery is filled with graves dating back to the 19th century.
"It contained random burials from the town settlement era," said Debbie
Yet, established in 1854, it's a Lawrence landmark that some students might not know about, despite its historic significance.
There is a pioneer cemetery on West Campus.
There are strong ties to the Civil War within the cemetery. According to Lawrence historian Karl Gridley, many Free State victims from the Bleeding Kansas era - 1854- 1861 - are buried there.
McCarthy, manager of the eXplore Lawrence visitor's center.
According to a timeline from local historian Katie Armitage, the burial place was originally called Oread Cemetery. In 1854, the burial of Moses Pomeroy was in a farmer's field on the hill, although the marker was later lost. The oldest grave at the cemetery is now of Cornelius Campbell, who died on April 22, 1855, according to Armitage's files.
Gridley conducted a survey years ago for the Historic Mount Oread Fund about Pioneer Cemetery. It can be viewed at the Spencer Research Library.
One of the most important individuals buried there is Thomas W. Barber, who was shot by pro-slavery men during the Wakarusa War of 1855, as told by Gridley.
"In 1862, it became the resting place for Civil War soldiers from the 13th Wisconsin Volunteer infantry," McCarthy said.
According to Gridley, John Brown, the famous Kansas abolitionist, viewed Barber's body at the Eldridge Hotel and called his death "one of the sure results of Civil War." John Greenleaf Whittier wrote the poem "Burial of Barber" about his funeral, and the poem is now engraved on two stones at the base of Barber's monument, according to Gridley.
McCarthy stated that it was also the burial site for the
victims of Quantrill's Raid in 1863. Six individual victim markers remain, according to Armitage. But McCarthy also said that once Oak Hill Cemetery was created in 1865, the
victims' bodies were moved there. Oak Hill sits at E. 15th St., six blocks east of Haskell Avenue.
Pioneer Cemetery sits on the University's property near the Lied Center. Many of
the graves are unmarked and suffer from vandalism, according to Gridley. But he believes it is among the most important early cemeteries in Kansas.

Yes, the Lawrence transit system wasn't always made up of big blue buses and nice, paved roads. Since 1871, Lawrence residents have gotten around town on streetcars, first pulled by horses, then operated by an electrical line from

Through a thin fog, the ring of a streetcar announces its descent down a tall hill and down onto the city's main street. As it stops, chatting people with bundles and packages pile on and off the streetcar.
An image like this tends to make one think of San Francisco, the California city famous for its hills, streetcars and fog. But it could just as easily have applied to Lawrence in the early twentieth century.

Before buses, Lawrence was all about the streetcars.

"If advantage is taken of the franchise, it woul d be profit able for the Co m- pany to
In its early years, the city's one streetcar was named "Progress" and it went down the dirt road of Massachusetts Street, across the river and north to the train depot. Over the remaining part of the 1800s, the lines expanded farther over Lawrence, but not to campus.
When the discussion of electric streetcar lines began in 1893, it excited the University's students, according to a 1893 edition of the student newspaper, The Student Journal. Reporters covered the city's proposed shift from a horse car line to an electric line and made a subtle plea for an extension to campus.
extend its line up Adams Street to the University," the paper said, with Adams Street being the modern 14th Street.
But those hopes were dashed when a 1903 flood destroyed the main lines of the still horse-drawn streetcar system, according to the city's report. The railway line that had begun Lawrence's public transportation system closed for good.
A new electric railway opened in 1909 and spanned areas that the previous one had never gone. It was this expansion that really fueled the city's growth, said Melissa Isaacs, a librarian at the Lawrence Public Library who specializes in local history and genealogy.
For example, she mentioned the Breezedale neighborhood just south
of 23rd Street around Massachusetts Street. Isaacs said 23rd Street used to be the south side of Lawrence.
"When the electric streetcars started operating in 1909 with these longer lines, that's also when we see the first houses being built in the Breezedale neighborhood," Isaacs said. "The streetcars really pushed Lawrence to grow and expand."
The new line went west from Massachusetts by 8th Street, then went south on Indiana and up the hill via Mississippi Street, the city's report says.
The southern line wasn't the only new addition that came with the move to electric streetcars in 1999. The streetcar company also decided to expand to the west with a line up Mount Oread to the University's campus.
The Kansan documented the first streetcar to ever ascend Mount Oread on April 9, 1910 at 2:30 p.m.The streetcar was filled with local newspaper reporters and the Kansas describes their wonder, not at riding the streetcar, but seeing the University campus they were unfamiliar with.
"Several of them saw for the first time some of the University improvements which they have been enthusiastically working for and writing about," the paper said, adding that many of the reporters didn't even know what some of the buildings were.

In the next couple years, the University's line extended to form a loop around the campus. The company that had operated the streetcars, the Kansas Electric Power Company, began to switch out the streetcars for motorized buses in 1927 due a demand for a more flexible travel option. The University's line was the last to undergo the change in 1933.
Over the next several decades, the operation of the Lawrence public transportation expanded and changed
hands multiple times, but always kept serving the University's campus based on the line that had been established during the streetcar era, the report said.
The modern collaboration between Lawrence public transit and the University began in 1971, when the bus company announced they would cease service, barring a miracle. As a result, the University's Student Senate set up KU on Wheels, a partnership to provide bus services for students.

Details regarding the search to find the University's next chancellor have yet to be publicly finalized following Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little's announcement Thursday that she will step down from her position in summer 2017.
One of the decisions the Kansas Board of Regents will be considering is whether or not the search process will be open to the public.
The Regents are tasked with conducting searches for presidents and chancellors at public colleges and universities. Breeze Richardson, communications director for the Regents, said no details are formally decided but it is anticipated the search will be closed to the public.
In all
In all reality, some of these decisions might not be made for a few months."

When Gray-Little was hired in 2009, the search was also closed to the public. Richardson said.
"It's really about finding the best candidate,and
there is a potential for a different [type] of candidate pool if the search is conducted publicly," she said.
Regardless, the Regents will have to make some of the process public, including filing a request for search firm proposals, choosing a specific search firm and choosing a search committee.
The Regents used the R. William Funk and Associates search firm to hire Gray-Little in 2009 and, more recently, to hire Provost Neeli Bendapudi. The firm, located in Dallas, has conducted more than 300 searches for college and university presidents and chancellors, according to its website.
The list of candidates and finalists, however, will likely not be available until after Gray-Little's replacement is named, Richardson said.
Pam Keller, Faculty Senate president, said no members of university governance have been contacted at this point about being on a search committee, but staff and faculty wishes will be communicated to whoever is selected.
"We'll communicate to the Regents that we'd like [a representative from] University Senate, Faculty Senate or a designee of the Faculty Senate Executive Committee to be on the
search committee," Keller said.
While University governance officials would like the process of selecting a new chancellor to be as open as possible, Keller said, she understands the reasoning behind making it a closed search.
Richardson said the search process will likely be discussed at the Regents' Oct.19 meeting, but it is hard to speculate about what they will decide considering how recently Gray-Little's departure was announced.

Richardson said the Kansas State search could delay some decision-making in the University's search, but there is more than enough time to find a replacement for Gray-Little by the time she officially steps down.
"In all reality, some of these decisions might not be made for a few months," Richardson said.

Not many college students can say they've been presented an award by two former NASA astronauts. Then again, not many students can say they're making an impact in their respective fields before receiving their undergraduate diploma. Two seniors at the University can officially brag about both after astronaut Sam Gemar presented them with the Astronaut Scholarship.
The scholarship is awarded to a limited number of students each year who have shown great promise in the fields of science, technology, engineering or mathematics, according to the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation website.

Now a part of that lab, Lynn studies hepatitis C to understand the virus and one day develop vaccinations against it.
Lynn said her journey into chemical engineering began during her senior year of high school after a visit to the University.
"Hep C is treatable right now, but we can't immunize against it, which is largely because the virus is unstable and hard to work with," she said. "What we're trying to do is take a protein from another more stable virus and fuse it with Hep C, which will hopefully allow us to work with it more efficiently."

Smith said her background in interdisciplinary computing was especially useful when helping conduct research at CERN.
"As an undergraduate researcher, a lot of what you're actually helping out with is the computational aspect, since the theoretical side is so, so complex," she said.
Gemar, who was a crew member on three different NASA missions, presented Smith and Lynn with their certificates on behalf of the ASF. Former astronaut Steven Hawley, who is also a University alumnus and professor of physics and astronomy, also attended the presentation.

Is campus prepared for an active shooter?
▶ CHANDLER_BOESE
@Chandler_Boese
imagine a person with a gun walked into your 100-person lecture hall.
What would you do? What would your professor do? What would the police car driving by outside do?
The University's online policy library offers some resources when it comes to being prepared for active shooter situations. The library has tips from the Office of Public Safety on what to do in such an event, including being aware of your surroundings, keeping under cover and calling 911 once it's safe.

We just want good training to be available universally."
Pam Keller Faculty Senate president
The official 144-page Emergency Management Plan, however, is largely unavailable to the public, including building evacuation plans and emergency phone numbers.
At other Universities,
this is not the case. For example, The University of Missouri holds a presentation on active shooter situations at the beginning of every semester that is open to everyone.
Even the University of Kansas' Medical Center offers more information on dealing with an active shooter. The police office there holds monthly training on active shooting response.
Erinn Barcomb-Peterson, the University's director of news and media relations, said the University offers presentations and trainings on all sorts of emergencies, but they have to be requested by individual departments.
"They provided more than 20 sessions to various departments last year, and also did a couple of tabletop exercises on strategies in the event of an active shooter," she said.
At Kansas State University, all employees have a chance to be trained on active shooter protocol, according to their website.
Here at the University, faculty members are pushing for something closer to this, Faculty
Senate President Pam Keller said. She said the Senate has expressed concern that few faculty members know what they should do in case if an active shooter.
Keller said many faculty members feel like the trainings are sporadic and not readily available for everyone. Some departments have even brought in an outside expert on active shooter situations to conduct the training, which means
"I think that a lot of people [want this training], especially if guns are going to be allowed on campus. Faculty will want to feel like they have more control if they were to be in a situation like that," she said.
it's not necessarily in line with the University's procedures and protocols in the case of an active shooter.
Keller did say that the faculty senate spoke with Provost Neeli Bendapudi last week about the issue and she seemed receptive to the idea of hosting more trainings, though no official action has been taken.
"We just want good training to be available universally," Keller said.

Increasing work hours may hurt student academics,experts say
▶ ELLE CLOUSE @Elle_Clouse
As college tuition rates inch up. students are working more hours to offset the financial burden, and experts say that has benefits and drawbacks.
A 2015 study released by Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce found that, as college enrollment has increased from 2 million students to 20 million students over 60 years,the tuition fees increased,as did the number of students working through college.
"If you are so concerned with trying to finance your education, or make sure that you have enough money to live, then it takes away from your collegiate experience, it takes away from your time to study," Gaston said.
David Gaston, the executive director of the University Career Center, explained that there are several reasons that students choose to work through college, but a main reason is finances.

"A lot of it has to do with needing to support themselves while they're in school," Gaston said. "They may not be getting help from their parents... They have to do it on their own."
While Gaston thinks that there are many benefits to working in college, he points out that working too much can negatively affect a student's academic goals.
norior from Paola, works an estimated 25 hours a week between three jobs. He thinks that a benefit of working in college is that it creates productive days, but a drawback is that free time is minimal.
"You're always busy, you never have a day that things didn't get done," Sipe said. "It can get exhausting. For instance, I work Thursday and Friday nights, so I can't really hang out with the guys... which can be frustrating."

Gaston highlighted that planning is a crucial part of managing work and school.
"It all comes down to planning, what you're going to do from day to day, but then even farther out, how are you going to plan your course of study and what you want to do when you get out?" Gaston said.
"I actually find it helps me manage my time better, since I'm so busy." Overton said. "It forces me to write out my schedule two weeks in advance, to make sure I know exactly what I'm going to be doing everyday."
Alex Overton, a junior from Kansas City, works 20 hours a week as an intern in Kansas City. He says that working while in school makes him plan ahead.
If students feel overwhelmed balancing work and study, Gaston said that the University can help students manage their time.
"Whether it be financial aid, the University Career Center or Student Money Management, there are all kinds of services that are here and really want to help KU
students be successful," Gaston said.

Sanchez: Finding the true Kansas abroad
▶ SANDRA SANCHEZ
@sssanchez26
This summer I found myself an unwitting ambassador of Kansas. While studying in Beijing, surrounded by peers who hailed from the east and west coasts of the U.S., I was one of three students from Kansas, and only one of two who lived in the state. As such, other students would ask me what Kansas was like and I faced a dilemma.
I'm not from Kansas. I was born in Guatemala City, Guatemala, and I then moved to Nebraska, and in succeeding years, found myself in various placed across the U.S. Upon moving to Kansas, I lived in Overland Park, Leawood, and now Lawrence. This was my Kansas, and until coming to college, I did not realize how small it was.
I told my Chinese friends about how Kansas is flatter than a pancake. (Quite literally, its flatness ratio was measured at 0.9997 where 1 means perfectly flat. A pancake's flatness is 0.957. A technicality, but still.)
But when I described
the hills on campus — and the constant calf workouts — they asked if I was mistaken, and meant the University was in a different state. It seemed even geography wanted to remind me of how much I am not a Kansan.
But who is a Kansan? For an educational institution claiming to be the premier of Kansas, there is poor geographic representation to be found at the University. The number of new students enrolled on the Lawrence and Edwards campus in Fall 2015 from the Northeast counties of Douglas and Johnson was 8,955 - this was nearly 59% of all newly enrolled students.
To many of my Johnson Country friends, the rest of Kansas is simply known as Western Kansas, which seems to start about 10 miles outside of Topeka. It's a dry, hazy, brown farmland dotted with cows that one sees on the way to more interesting sights like the Rockies.
Until my friends in China repeated this back to me and I became defensive of the oversimplification, I did not think much of this misinterpretation. But now, I am ashamed. Although Kansas is not my homeplace, I have pride in this state, and I want others to recognize its diversity and value — and how much more than simple farmland it is.
that has led to my own oversimplification of the state. Kansas has been my home for years now, and it is providing me with an education and a future for success - why should I turn away from it?
I can blame my perspective on lack of friends from rural counties, or in my unfamiliar upbringing, but I know it is a lack of consideration
In China I wore my Jayhawk t-shirts with pride, and would gladly explain to anyone what the funny little bird was called. I no longer think defining who is a true Kansan is important, because we all are in a way
by simply living here. But I find that defining Kansas will better help me understand its complexity, and as a result, fuel my pride for the great Sunflower state.

"What do you want to be when you grow up?" "What do you plan on doing with your degree?" "Where do you see yourself in 10 years?"
Liston: College shouldn't just be job training
From the time we were barely able to conceptualize careers to the time we graduate college, we have been and will continue to be asked questions such as these. Yet the framing of these questions puts a great deal of pressure on students to decide on a singular career goal for their post-college life. Rather than focusing on finding a specific job, students should focus on their passions and interests, and colleges should prepare students to be adaptable in the job market.
In today's ever-evolving digital world, new
jobs will continue to be created to adapt to technological advances. Colleges should reflect these societal changes in their curriculum by integrating new, relevant technology into the classroom and teaching students to navigate the job openings in their fields of interest.
Oftentimes, I hear my peers fretting about being uncertain of their career choices. Yet expecting most college students to have a detailed career plan, especially early on in their college career, is unreasonable.
No one can be certain of the future, so students should be prepared to seize opportunities as they present themselves.
Having an ideal career in mind is by no means bad, but flexibility is important even for students who do have specific career aspirations. Without flexibility, students could be caught off-guard by deviations from their plan and struggle to adapt to the situation.
The purpose of college is to equip students with the tools they need to be successful and competitive in the workforce
after graduation. Adaptability is one of the most vital tools that college can provide because it prepares students to handle situations beyond their control. All courses and subject areas should promote adaptability to strengthen the success of graduates, and no student should feel unprepared for the unknown.

n the basement of Chalmers Hall, tucked into a corner of the ceramics department, there's a dusty room lined with shelves that hold dozens of clay plates, pitchers, bowls and pieces that aren't as easy to identify. Many of the pieces in the room belong to Morgan Barton, a senior from Shawnee studying ceramics, who uses the room as an art studio.
Barton is a potter who specializes in "functional pottery"—things like mugs that serve a purpose other than just being something to look at. He said the signature feature of his pottery is the curved groove he adds instead of a handle. Little, if any of his work, has a handle. It's a way for the people who use his work to
k
bu

kilns
ter t
meanin
interact more closely with it—an idea Barton said was partially inspired by his first ceramics professor at Emporia State University.
"She said that as potters we're like choreographers because every move that you're making while you're making a piece has a direct correlation to the way the person will interact with it once you get it off the wheel," Barton said. "And as soon as you pick up one of my pieces, your hands immediately go to all the places that I've touched before."
It took Barton a while to decide he wanted to study ceramics. After graduating high school in Shawnee, Barton enrolled at Emporia State to study education and become an art teacher. When he came to Lawrence to visit a friend who was then a University ceramics student, Barton liked it so much that he decided to
The University has three types of kilns for firing pottery: gas, electric and wood. Gas and electric kilns generally burn at a consistent temperature. Wood kilns usually burn hotter toward the front, meaning they produce
transfer.
Barton said he's excited about the gallery, not only because it allows him to display his art as a student, but also because it marks how he's been "winning a lot more than losing lately."
less predictable results. Pieces fired in wood kilns are more likely to break or be ruined by soda ash—a chemical used during firing. Some artists, including Barton, like the unpredictability of wood kilns.
By his estimation, Barton spends 40 or 50 hours per week in Chalmers Hall outside of classes. His art has accumulated to the point that he's running out of shelf space. Graduate student and Ceramics Club President Alex Thierry offered Barton a way to make room for new pieces and also have an opportunity for exposure. Thierry and Barton cleared out a storage room on the main floor of Chalmers Hall and turned it into a mini gallery, which is currently on display until Sept. 30.
"That's kind of what I like about it because you put all of this work in on a piece and all this preparation, and then you just put it in a kiln and you kind of have to just take a step back and let the flames do what it will," he said.
"It's such an art student thing to do, to see sort of

that's clearly being
neglected and
to say 'you

this is an
opportunity to show some work," Sarah Gross, an assistant professor in the School of the Arts and Barton's advanced ceramics teacher, said.
Gross said Barton is one of the hardest workers in the studio. Barton had an internship in the department last summer, during which Gross said his artistry progressed substantially.
"I'm really proud of how Morgan's work has developed and how he's taken ownership of the choices he makes in the studio from ideas and development to seeing things through with the firings and the kilns, which are so labor-intensive," Gross said.
Sculptures have increasingly become a part of Barton's portfolio. The largest piece in his studio is an amorphous column that

developed out of a mistake when he was trying to throw a pitcher. He kept adding more clay until he ended up with something totally different. He liked the piece enough to start making amoeba-shaped sculptures on purpose. The gallery upstairs is now filled with those sculptures, and he plans to enter a few of them in upcoming art shows.

Bales Recital Hall, located in the Lied Center, houses an organ that draws musicians from all over the world.
Andrea Ringgenberg/KANSAN
COURTNEY BIERMAN
@courtbierman
The Lied Center is home to one of the finest organ recital halls in the world. Past the doors of the main auditorium and through the alcove at the end of the hall is the Dane and Polly Bales Organ Recital Hall, the centerpiece of the University's organ and church music division.
The instrument sits in an elaborate wooden case designed by Peter G. Thompson, former University dean of fine arts. Thompson also designed the hall's stained glass windows. Three panels of intricate glass, the middle one stretching 37 feet tall, sit opposite the organ.
In terms of acoustics, the walls are two-foot-thick reinforced concrete. The plaster on top of the concrete is uneven. This is meant to emulate the acoustical properties of stone. The result is a six or seven second reverberation time.
"Most of the organ music throughout history was composed for spaces that were very reverberant like this, but in America there are very few places like this," said James Higdon, director of the University's organ and church music division.
Higdon said what makes
Bales Recital Hall unique is that it was constructed at the same time as its organ. It's more common for either the instrument to be built and then placed in a preexisting space or for a building to be constructed for a completed organ.
We are so fortunate here that we have not only an incredible instrument but an incredible room to house that instrument."
Katherine Burchfield Organist
"Other universities have organ halls, but this was built in a different way," Higdon said.
Organist Katherine Burchfield said Bales Recital Hall was one of the primary reasons she chose the University to pursue her doctoral degree in organ.
"We are so fortunate here that we have not only an incredible instrument but an incredible room to house that instrument," Burchfield said.
Burchfield is one of almost 50 University students who take organ lessons through the School of Music. Higdon said any student can sign up for organ lessons if they're interested, but it's best if they have basic piano skills.
Despite being home to only a few dozen students, the University's organ and church music program is one of the largest in the country. Burchfield said most people react with surprise when she says she's an organist, because her instrument is so uncommon.
"Mostly the reactions I get are 'Oh, wow that's cool. What are you going to do with that? Teach?" Burchfield said.
Bales Recital Hall took nearly 10 years to complete. When plans to build the Lied Center began, Higdon and Thompson proposed that the new performing arts center include an organ recital hall. There were already organs on campus - Murphy Hall had a few small practice instruments - and there was even an organ in the old Hoch Auditorium before a fire destroyed it in 1991. But Higdon and Thompson saw an opportunity to do something grand for organ students.
"[Organ performance was] one of our best programs here, without question," Thompson said. "[We have] a lot of graduate students, students who go on and do very well."
University graduates Dane and Polly Bales made the hall possible. The couple were business owners who gave more than $4 million to the University. They supported the School of Medicine, the Dole Institute of Politics (Polly's Pond in front of the institute is named after Mrs.Bales) and other ventures. Their biggest contribution was more than $1 million donated for the construction
of Bales Recital Hall.
"They really saw this as something that was very important to them," said Dale Seuferling, president of the KU Endowment Association. "Something they could do for the University that the University otherwise might not have or might not be able to achieve, and so it really was something that they viewed as their legacy and their gift to KU."
Today, Bales Recital
Hall hosts acclaimed organists from all over the world. The University will hold the American Guild of Organist's 2017 National Pedagogy Conference next fall, during which three organists from Notre-Dame Cathedral will perform.
"I come to work at a beautiful place. I listen to beautiful music, and that's my job," Higdon said.

Junior wide receiver Bobby Hartzog Jr. and redshirt junior quarterback Montell Cozart celebrate during the season opener at Memorial Staidum. The team won 55-6.
Junior wide receiver LaQuvionte Gonzalez looked up at an incoming punt. Then, just for a second, Gonzalez glanced down at the incoming wall of Ohio defenders charging toward him.
Just enough time for a collapse.
The punt plummeted though Gonzalez's hands and onto the Memorial Stadium turf. In his pursuit to gain the possession the Jayhawks so desperately needed, down 28-14 with under a minute left in the third quarter, Gonzalez tripped. The Ohio punt team swarmed the ball near the Jayhawks' 10-yard line. First and goal for Ohio.
In a time when Gonzalez needed assurance, when he had fumbled two times in only his second game with the Jayhawks, redshirt junior quarterback Montell Cozart rushed to his side. As Gonzalez jogged back to the sideline, Cozart was right there. It was Cozart, Jayhawks' starting quarterback through the first three weeks, who kept Gonzalez's head on straight.
"Keep your head up," Cozart remembers telling him. "The defense told us they were gonna get the ball back."
In his third year as a Jayhawk, Cozart has managed to develop into a bonafide leader and captain of a team that needs leadership now just to stay afloat. Cozart was injured in week four of the 2015 season, and spent the rest of the year on the sideline. While Cozart has struggled with
the Jayhawks, his leadership earned him captain at the beginning of the 2016 season.
"For that guy to be voted and looked at that highly, that tells you what his teammates think of him," coach David Beaty said after he was named captain. "That's a good deal for us. He's one of those guys that does everything you ask him to do and more."
Cozart had one of his worst performances of his college career last Saturday, as Kansas was routed by Memphis, 43-6. He threw for only 87 yards and turned the ball over three times, seeming to kill any
offense the Jayhawks could muster.
But after the game, Cozart didn't just fold, or let the game haunt him into the next week. Instead, Cozart texted Beaty on Monday and requested that him and senior safety Fish Smithson speak to the entire team after practice. And so, the captain spoke.
"I told them that game was on me," Cozart said. "I feel like I let everyone down turning the ball over and not giving us a chance."
"I was letting those guys know that I'm being a man and being responsible for my actions," Cozart said.
For Cozart, speaking to the team wasn't about relieving himself from blame of the loss, but to show he's ready to bounce back.
Cozart's personal meeting with the team after practice made leaps and bounds for both him and his team.
Even after one of the toughest games of his careers, Cozart's personal meeting with the team not only entrenched him as the team's leader, but it made some players look up to him.
"We respect him," sophomore defensive tackle Daniel Wise said. "It speaks volumes to the team for him to step up and do that."
In some ways, Cozart's leadership and how his teammates perceive him off the field has upstaged his play on the field.
He's
He's one of those guys that does everything you ask him to do and more."
David Beaty Coach
After the loss to Memphis, wide receivers coach Jason Phillips was still content with Cozart as a leader.
"His teammates believe in him," Phillips said. "That's why he was voted captain by his teammates."
The discussion Cozart and Smithson had with the team seemed to be a crucial one. When going into the Big 12 season with a roster that still appears a notch under the rest of the talent in the Big 12, chemistry and togetherness can't be an issue.
It doesn't appear to be an issue for the Jayhawks now. Whether it be from the sideline or on the on the field, Cozart is the Jayhawks' offensive leader and a captain they can rely on.

A look inside Bill Self's annual boot camp
▶ CHRISTIAN S. HARDY
@ByHardy
The Jayhawks warm up before day five of boot camp on Sept. 23.
The start of the Kansas basketball season does not come in Allen Fieldhouse, with 16,300 eager fans coated in crimson and blue. It doesn't start with the alma mater or newspaper shreds thrown into the air and floating back into the student section as the public announcer lists Kansas' starting lineup.
Missu Minear/KANSAN
The start of the season is senior guard Frank Mason III in the locker room before the sun has even come up, preparing for the fifth day of Bill Self's boot camp when the only sound outside is insects buzzing. About 90 minutes later, it's Mason with his hands on his knees after almost 25 sprints, missing Self's expected time by a second or two, then snapping at his teammates, "Sprint! Come on." And then it's the line of blue Kansas basketball t-shirts running again.
It's the managers and coaches clapping along through the two minutes on jumping rope in this one-court practice gym off to the side of Allen Fieldhouse. It's the constant squeaking
of Adidas basketball shoes and an occasional line of encouragement from Self or assistant coach Jerrance Howard. It's nearly an hour of these conditioning drills without a basketball in sight.
Then it's sophomore forward Carlton Bragg Jr. shuffling, putting his hands up as to defend assistant coach Kurtis Townsend — who's standing stationary — letting out a brief "ah!" then
shuffling further down the court in a zig-zag motion.
"They're trying hard. They're getting in pretty good shape," Self said after practice. "We just want guys to go hard right now. Just to get their feet in shape and of course to get
This is the fifth day — the halfway point — of Self's 2016 boot camp. It's a conditioning extravaganza that lasts no more than 50 minutes each day.
their conditioning."
This is the first chance for freshmen, like guard Josh Jackson, to show the team what kind of players they are, but also show coaches just how conditioned they are. While Mason led the way on most sprints, Jackson consistently trailed just a few steps behind.
Through one week of conditioning, the No. 1 recruit has especially impressed Self. While
veterans like Mason have taken much of the leadership upon themselves, Jackson has done a bit of that, too.
"Josh hasn't surprised us in any way," Self said. "Other than he is what they said he was from a competitive standpoint."
On these days when a basketball never touches the court, it can be difficult to find the standouts. But Self listed a few things that can
separate some: "quickness, staying in his stance, being able to recover quickly, not worrying about where the finish line is, just going as hard as you can and know you're going to eventually get there."
He's been impressed with the whole team when it comes to those things, but especially sophomore guard Lagerald Vick.
"For me, it'd be hard to beat Lagerald," Self said when he was asked of the first week's MVP. "Frank and Josh and Lagerald — those guys — they can pretty much go all day."
With just over a week before Late Night, Self seems pleased with how the Jayhawks have started the season. On the toughest sprints of the day — nine full-court lengths — Self added a few seconds to the target time to make it easier on the team.
After a huddle and praise from Self, the players walked away from the court, done with the fifth day of boot camp before 7 a.m.

Students, professors and administrators stood for eight hours in support of Black Lives Matter and Trans Lives Matter.

On Sept. 27, over 100 individuals gathered together on Wescoe Beach to engage in a silent, eight hour protest in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter and Trans Lives Matter movements.
The event, called Stand with ME, was coordinated by Rayfield Lawrence, a sophomore from Kansas City, Kan., Caithe Alexander, a junior from Shawnee, Cienna Cashman, a sophomore from Wichita, and others who worked alongside the Lawrence community to make the protest happen.
"I was going to stand singular at first," Lawrence
"Today's event was the first in KU history where black lives and trans lives have come together," they said. "As minority groups, we need to band together."
"Even if you are not engaged with those groups specifically [Black Lives Matter, Trans Lives Matter, and others], you should be more involved in human rights," Lawrence said.

The event not only sent a statement across campus, but set a historical precedent at the University, Alexander said.

Carl Lejuez, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, spoke to around 60 faculty and staff members Tuesday in his first State of the College address.
Lejuez addressed issues such as increasing student success, supporting and furthering research goals, and conversations surrounding diversity, equity and inclusion within the college.
"It's a great experience to feel like you're a part of something and feel like you're doing something meaningful. And that's why we wanted to do the State of the College," he said. "We wanted the opportunity to talk about where we are and where we're going."

there are hardships facing the college and the field of liberal arts as a whole, but he said people and companies are beginning to understand that the skills learned in a liberal arts field are necessary for creating the "next great technology."
Lejuez acknowledged
"There are some issues, but I'm here to tell you I did not come here to wave a surrender flag. We have to think about in this context of these issues that we have, what's our pathway forward?" Lejuez said.
One of the most important aspects of moving forward as a college, Lejuez said, is finding ways to provide support to all areas within liberal arts and focusing on the identity of being a student-focused and research-intensive college.

Professors expand sexual assault research

From left to right: Natabhona Mabachi, Alesha Doan, Juliana Carlson. The professors will spend three years researching sexual assault at other universities to offer recommendations on prevention.
Three University professors who helped the University take steps toward sexual assault prevention are launching a research project to improve prevention across three Midwestern states.
Last month the faculty members, including Alesha Doan, Juliana Carlson and Natabbona Mabachi, were awarded a $750,000 grant to study how eight higher education institutions in Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri deal with sexual assault.
After three years of studying those institutions, which included private and public colleges and universities of varying sizes, the researchers aimed to offer a collection of best practices recommendations.
When serving on the chancellor's Sexual Assault Prevention Task Force in the 2014-15 school year, Doan, Carlson and Mabachi looked at the University's sexual assault resources and policies, evaluating what the institution could do better to investigate and prevent sexual assault. The task force made 27 recommendations and University administration decided to implement 22 of them.

"All of the kinds of things we performed on the task force were key to giving us a plan and a pathway for how we would do this at other college campuses." Doan said. "I can't imagine of having applied for the grant without that experience, quite frankly."
Now, the professors are initiating their research, called the Heartland Sexual Assault Policies & Prevention Project, thanks to the grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Doan is a professor in both political science and public policy, while Mabachi practices family medicine at the University of Kansas Medical Center and does community work with sexual assault.
Carlson said that campuses in Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska are lacking in campus-wide plans to address sexual assault. She said that there may be conversations and activities happening at campuses in those states, but most don't have a developed and research-based plan.
"We need to have more research, we need to have more opportunities for our region to look at addressing sexual assault on college campuses, to kind of lift us
"Our idea in choosing all of these diverse partners is finding the best practices that work at different types of universities," she said. "Developing those best practices that work in these different situations and among these different schools is really the goal."
up and be more on par with the rest of the country," Carlson said.
Doan said that having such diverse profiles will hopefully allow institutions outside of the research to
At the end of the research, the team hopes that they'll help their campus partners develop comprehensive plans for sexual assault. That part of the project will especially benefit from the diverse group of colleges and universities that the researchers are examining. Doan said.
In their research, the professors plan to look at prevention programs, investigate procedures and policies, Carlson said. Each campus will conduct a sexual assault climate survey as well.
implement a plan at their campuses based on plans of similar campuses.
The researchers also hope to develop at a Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) unit on each campus. SARTS are normally linked with community law enforcement and help sexual assault survivors through the aftermath of sexual assaults.
"Why that's particularly important is because on college campuses, with Title IX, students might report that they have experienced some sort of sexual harassment or sexual assault, that never makes it to local enforcement," Carlson said.
All three of the faculty members specialize in sexual assault research, yet belong to different departments. Carlson, an associate professor in the School of Social Welfare, said each of them brings a unique perspective to the team.
"I think the three of us kind of bring these unique lenses," Carlson said. "But we have very,very common interests at heart."
Doan is a professor in both political science and public policy, while Mabachi practices family medicine at the University of Kansas Medical Center and does community work with sexual assault.

First presidential debate won't change much, according to KU political science professor
▶ LARA KORTE
@lara_korte
At the first of three presidential debates Monday night, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump battled it out for over 90 minutes, hitting issues like job growth, crime, and each other's credibility.
The Kansan met with Patrick Miller, a professor of political science at the University, to look at the candidates' performances and what the first debate means for the campaign as the country moves closer to Election Day 2016.
Here are some excerpts from the conversation.
K: If you had to pick a winner from last night's debate, who would it be?
M: I think for the typical debate, for the typical candidate, you think that the person you support, won. That's typically what we see in the polling going back decades, debates are, they're an interesting ritual, they're part of the story that the press, the voters make up to think about, "well, what happened in this campaign?" They're sexy at times if you can get that sound bite, but there's not a lot of evidence they really matter for anything, they don't really move the polls.
K: Will this debate change anything in the polls?
M: Most debates, they're not moving the polls, they're not even moving with these temporary bumps, which is why most political scientists will tell you they're pointless.
But maybe there are a lot of people who might not normally watch a debate
who tuned in because of Trump, and that'll be a very different dynamic. Nobody can predict that, and maybe what they think is going to move the polls. Maybe this will be debate number two that actually matters. Who knows? Maybe in a week we'll have a better sense of that when we can get more data not only on the horse race, but who watched.
K: Did we learn anything new from the candidates last night?
M: No.
We typically don't learn anything new in debates, honestly. I think what we learn from this debate is that the people that Trump and Clinton have been portraying themselves as, that's who they're going to continue to be, that's their persona. I think that if you as a voter, if you like what Clinton is bringing to the table, you think she won, you're going to continue to support her. If you like what Trump's bringing to the table, same thing.
Trump's style is less issues, but he still did hit on the issues that have been central to his campaign. He didn't hit as many as Clinton, he talked about them in a broader way, he talked about them in a simpler, more emotional way. That's his style, and people say that connects better. And if that's what you like, then you're going to think he won.
They differ, a lot. Clinton, her style is more controlled, more reserved, more talk about issues at a deeper level, that's why she gets a reputation as a policy wonk, if you like that, cool, you're going to enjoy what you saw.
K: Do voters watch the debates to pick a candidate, or to watch their candidate?
M: If you look at the 2012 and 2008 debates, over 80 percent of the viewership — and for some debates it was over 90 percent of the viewership — already had their minds made up. They were unmovable. People are watching them, they're like a boxing match. If you support Mike Tyson ... you'd tune in to watch Mike Tyson beat the crap out of the other person, and that's what this is.
M: I feel like we almost had to have one debate to get the a lot of the ridiculous stuff out of the way, like talking about Trump's business record. It's relevant I guess,
M: Typically at this point in a campaign, people tune in at different points, and the vast majority of us, 85-90 percent of us, know who we're going to support in 2020, because we just vote for the party.
K: If a debate won't shift the polls, what will?
The other 10 to 15 percent in a really unusual year maybe 20 percent - they tune in as a process over the course of a campaign. The people who come come in undecided, they pay less attention and they care less, some of them start to pay attention late summer, maybe it's the week before. And that's why campaigns have to constantly be repeating their messages because every day someone new is paying attention for the first time.
K: What will the next two debates look like?
if you want to talk about his character, talking about Hillary Clinton's emails, which I guess are relevant if you care about her character. But it's an issue that's not going anywhere for anybody. Birtherism, which is possibly the most stupid issue that's ever been brought up, I mean his mother was American, that makes him a natural-born citizen, why are we discussing this for the last eight years?
But that kind of nonsense has been what has driven so much of this campaign because, like I said, most voters are just voting on parties, and we have to find something to talk about for two years because we have long presidential campaigns.
I hope that that's out of the system now, but I doubt it. I hope we get more issue discussion going forward, that issue discussion is not going to matter for very many voters, but it will matter for somebody. And even if it's just half a percent of the electorate that really cares what Clinton and Trump have to say about ISIS, that could be the half a percent that decides North Carolina or Georgia.
M: We didn't learn anything new, but it was interesting, there was a lot more engagement than we typically see ... I don't necessarily think that will amount to many minds being swayed, but I think that given that most debates are just ritualistic spectacle, it was a very interesting ritualistic spectacle.

McCarthy: Chancellor Gray-Little leaves a positive, lasting legacy at the University
YOUNG
▶ KEVIN MCCARTHY
@kevindmccarthy
When Bernadee Gray-Little nst took the helm as the University's chancellor in 2009, she came in with a tremendous amount of enthusiasm to further its standing as one of the premier institutions of higher education in the Midwest and the nation.
Coming in, a few of her main goals included reducing excess spending, getting the University to be designated as a national cancer institute and increasing endowment fundraising efforts. Chancellor Gray-Little achieved all three of these goals during her tenure. However, due to an ongoing, self-inflicted state budget crisis, spending has been decreased a little more than most would have liked.
Overall, Chancellor Gray-Little has done an exceptional job over the past eight years. As with most high profile positions, she has faced some challenges, but she has faced this adversity with poise and humility.
Everyone knows that sexual assault has been a severe problem at the University over the past few years. We also know that the administration has not always handled these crimes particularly well in the past. However, in the past two years, under the leadership of Chancellor Gray-Little, we have seen a concerted effort by administrators to try to prevent future instances of sexual assault. In 2015, six new positions were created with the sole purpose of confronting campus sexual assault.
Another major issue facing the University community has been calls from multicultural students that they are being marginalized and feel that Student Senate and the administration are not taking their concerns seriously. In response to these concerns, Chancellor Gray-Little and administrators created the Diversity Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Advisory Group made up of faculty, students and staff to look at issues of discrimination, intolerance and insensitivity on campus. The DEI group released a report in April laying out a number of recommendations for administrators to take in order to improve the overall environment at KU.
I could go on and on about the things that Chancellor Gray-Little has done during her time at the University, but what I am trying to get at is that she has done a sterling job considering all of the challenges she has faced. Overseeing 28,000 students and 2,600 faculty members is no easy task.

lightly SALTED with Will Admussen
with Will Admussen
--live the rest of your life paying for the time you spent on Facebook in Anschutz Library. Unfortunately, there's no way out of the debt you're currently accruing - except for death.
1. Be the professor.
While it's true that you and your peers pay thousands of dollars for a qualified instructor with advanced degrees in their field, that fact shouldn't hold you back from stepping up and answering questions on behalf of the professor.
What most college students don't know is that you don't need a degree to tell people what the right answer is! Top students don't hesitate to cut off the professor in order to insert their own opinions formed from the first few lines of articles their friend Cody shared on Facebook.
2. Email Will to get the study guide the night before the test.
Everyone knows that college is all about time management. Finding time to go to Dollar Night at The Jayhawk
The secret to having it all is as simple as an email. You see, some lame students sit in their rooms blaring Chingy while completing the study guide weeks in advance of the test. Why do the same work twice when those students are complete pushovers? All you need to do is send an email to your friend Will to get that study guide because he's desperate for friends and will gladly help.
Let's face it, getting a job you love means nothing if you're enslaved to student loans for the rest of your life. Compounded with the bleak employment outlook, it might seem like you will
3. Don't think about looming debt.
College is all about having fun and you can't have much of it alone (trust me, I've spent 22 years of my life trying). When you move into the dorms or scholarship halls your freshman year, you're bound to meet (then forget the names of) hundreds of great people.
4. Lower your expectations.
Successful college students are able to push the weight of the soul-crushing debt deep into the back of their minds. While the outside world might view this outlook as delusional, it has been known to result in better grades.
Café, pick mushrooms with your friend Cody and make a late night trip to Chateau all while cramming for that test seems insurmountable.
Students that have vibrant social lives have learned to lower their expectations. Let's face it, you're probably not going to be able to keep up with the cool kid wearing Heelys, or party with the girl who's wearing a choker. Settle for the kid who introduces himself by saying he likes trains and listens to Chingy — I guarantee you'll never eat alone.
5. Dominance starts with your email signature.
Six habits of highly successful college students
.
Most college students have a simple email signature that indicates their basic information. In today's competitive environment, college students are realizing that isn't enough.
Highly successful college students stand out by including every single activity they've ever been a part of even positions such as assistant social secretary for
the Society for Knitting Exciting and Eccentric Things (SKEET). Nothing indicates importance more than showing your resume down someone's throat every time you send them an email.
6. Visualize success by getting a life coach.
All successful college students have life coaches who can follow them around and yell motivational things in their ear like "If you don't get a good grade, nobody will love you and you will die alone," and "We need to discuss my fee." For 17 easy payments of $17.38 (Beak 'em Bucks accepted). Will Admussen can help you achieve greatness.

University filmmaker uses crowdfunding to create 'Poly,' an LGBTQ+ comedy series
CAMERON MCGOUGH @cammcgough
Savannah Rodgers, a senior from Olathe studying film and media studies, has been making her own short films for the past two and a half years. Rodgers has served as a writer, director and producer on most of her projects, among many other roles.
Rodgers is now using her filmmaking experience to take her career to the next level. Her newest project, co-created along with Riley Oregard, is "Poly," a comedy that follows a group of three polyamorous individuals: AJ, Cricket and Jake. Together, they try to navigate the struggle of leading an unconventional lifestyle in the heart of conservative Midwestern suburbia.
The project will be produced under her own film company, Professional Amateur Productions, which focuses mostly on LGBTQ+
issues, social commentary and feminism. She said she aims for her projects to highlight issues that are not commonly included in mainstream television and film.
"Marginalized people feel underrepresented on TV. I know I've never seen a character that I thought represented me on a TV show or in a movie," Rodgers said. "So what I'm trying to do is provide representation and tell interesting stories and kind of subvert expectations through the LGBTQ genre. If they [the audience] have a strong reaction to something I did, then I did my job right."
The pilot for "Poly" is currently in preproduction, and the funding to produce the project is still being collected via the Seed&Spark New Voice Rally, a crowd funding initiative dedicated to raising money for the production of new independent television programs.
In addition, this platform provides increased visibility for the project. In order for the vision of Rodgers and her team to come to fruition, the goal of raising $12,000 must be met. Rodgers said this first step in raising funds is incredibly crucial to the success of the project.
If sufficient funds are raised via Seed&Spark, the
"Entertainment has never, ever been free. I don't know why people would think that this could be free There are tangible goals at the end of this campaign We have a plan," Rodgers said. "We are marketable, and we are trying to build our audience ... If you support our show by contributing funds to this campaign, it will make an important impact that will allow us to make the show because executives don't think that marginalized folks are going to show up for shows that represent them."
pilot for "Poly" will be shot in the Kansas City area. Rodgers said she intends on entering the finished product into the festival circuit, most notably SeriesFest, an international television festival. If accepted into SeriesFest, "Poly" would has the potential to be picked up by major television producers. The project would also have the potential to earn a straight-to-series order through the media company Fullscreen.
Patrick Rea, producer of "Poly," has been working with Rodgers on various projects of his own since 2014. Rea said he is confident in Rodgers and this project.
"I think Savannah has a very cool and fresh concept with 'Poly' that will lend itself brilliantly to the web series format, and I am very excited to be involved," Rea said. "Savannah has proved to not only be a very talented up-and-coming
filmmaker, but also a great person."
In the current preproduction stage, the success of "Poly" is still largely dependent on the success of the crowd funding campaign. Without sufficient funds, "Poly" is unlikely to be made. Rodgers said she believes her project is a worthwhile investment that has the ability to positively impact society.
"I think the nature of 'Poly' is something that the world needs. There needs to be more LGBTQ representation, intersectional feminism within media, and that's what I'm striving for," Rodgers said. "I have a lot of confidence now because I've done some shorts and they've been successful, but I also have the most amazing crew and actors that I work with to where I think that even if everything went to hell, we would have each other and we would have something we're proud of."
Review: Theatre Lawrence's 'A Chorus Line'
THE BALLET
▶ ALYSSA HOEDL
@AHoedl
Theatre Lawrence began its 40th season with a classic, "A Chorus Line," a musical about dancers auditioning to be in the chorus of a new show. It was first produced in 1975 and played on Broadway for 15 years. The musical won nine Tony Awards as well as the 1976 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, one of the few musicals to win this honor.
Because of its hardcore dancing and touchy subject matter, many theaters shy away from performing it, however, Theatre Lawrence embraced the difficulties and performed the show just how it should be.
Before announcing any sort of start to the show, actors start coming out onto the stage to stretch as if they were at an audition. After a couple minutes, they are called offstage, and an announcement is made regarding the show starting.
The cast of "A Chorus Line" performs the iconic final number of the show.
Having the actors come on stage before the show actually started was a nice intro to the show. Although it took you in and out of the show quickly, it was fun to see the actors as if they were really preparing to audition for a show.
Alyssa Hoedl/KANSAN
The ensemble vocals throughout the entire show were strong and the acting was solid. Although the dancing wasn't quite as challenging as the original Broadway production, the entire cast danced full-out and was engaged the entire show.
Standouts from the cast were Cassidy Ragland (Diana), Robert Crone (Paul), Josh Eisenhauer (Bobby) and Amanda McCoy (Val).
Ragland's song "Nothing" and her leading vocals in "What I Did For Love" were two of the best songs in the show. Her strong vocals matched with her intense acting created scenes
Crone, though he didn't have a song to himself, was definitely one of the strongest actors in the show. Paul's monologue at the end of the show moves people to tears and Crone performed it exactly how it should be.
that pulled the audience in and didn't let them leave until the songs were over.
Eisenhauer and McCoy provided some of the comedy relief in the show and were well-rounded performers that were enjoyable to watch. Peter Hansen (Zach, Director) was a good actor but he seemed a little old to be playing Zach.
All in all, Theatre Lawrence's production of "A
Chorus Line" was satisfying and stayed true to the original Broadway classic. The musical's final performances will be this weekend. For tickets and more information, visit theatrelawrence.com.

lowkey listens
Summer has left us. As the year progresses and college life intensifies, it's important to find time to relax and calm one's mind. What better way to do so than to listen to music? Here I hope to provide you with some artists or songs that are new to you or that have fallen off of your radar for some time.I'm Mylan Jones,taking over for Christian Hardy,and welcome to a new semester of Lowkey Listens.
MYLAN JONES
@thislanismylan
MAITRO - HENNESSY
Alright, I will have to say that vaporwave is definitely one of my guilty pleasures. The songs that I listen to tend to sample old school Soul music and twist them into something fresh. MAITRO, an artist from the Netherlands, does that exact thing. On this song "HENNESSY," he samples "Just One Moment Away" by The Manhattan. MAITRO takes bits and pieces of the vocals, slightly changes the pitch, and distributes them among the track. This artist has a history of creating similar works that always catch my attention.
BADBADNOTGOOD - Cashmere
Back again with beautiful, jazzy instrumentation here we have BADBADNOTGOOD with "Cashmere" from its fourth album "TV." Starting off as a jazz band reworking a lot of hip-hop, the band has slowly but surely developed its own sound. The group comes together with beautiful keys, jazzy saxophone, upbeat drums, sexy bass and various other instruments to produce one of its best songs yet.
Makoto Matsushita · September Rain
Here we have a blast from the past from Japan. "September Rain" comes from Makoto Matsushita's 1981 album "First Light." Though I may not know what he is saying, I cannot help but enjoy the smooth vibes and the song's bass is to die for. As a lover of old school R&B and Soul, this kind of thing is right up my alley. If you have similar taste, I'm sure that you will find this appealing.
Mick Jenkins - Communicate (feat. Ravyn Lenae)
Chicago native Mick Jenkins is here with another smooth and groovy track. After releasing multiple projects in recent years, he finally came out with his debut album "The Healing Component." While different from his previous work, Jenkins found his sweet spot in hip-hop, and "Communicate" is a clear example of that. With groovy production from Kaytranada and vocals from Ravyn Lenae, this song explores the disconnect from the rapper and the woman he's in a relationship with. This song is one of my favorites from the album.
Ghost Pop, Surf Punk, Dream Pop, however you want to describe Dreamgirl, it’s clear they’re unique. I saw them live at Manor Fest, and wow. I went in with decent expectations and was blown away. Dreamgirl is a six member band from St. Joseph, Mo., and “Sweet Thang” is a track from its EP “Illuminaughty.” This song deals with being lonely and having a strong desire to be with someone, something I'm sure a lot of us can relate to. However, the instrumentation on this song prevents it from just being sad and depressing. The song will still put you in your feelings, but in a more sexy and desirable manner. If you like what you hear, the band will be performing at the Replay Lounge on Nov. 19. Save the date.

New assistant Bri Young energizes Kansas soccer

MAOO
Alex Robinson/KANSAN
A after a 2015 season marred by inefficient finishing, close losses and frustrating missed opportunities, Kansas soccer's attack has shown marked improvement.
The team has only been shut out twice on the year, once by a top-10 USC team and again in an overtime loss to Nebraska, and has three scorers with three or more goals so far this season.
Freshman additions Katie McClure and Mandi Duggan, each with three goals, have been big positives for the team so far this season. Along with them, sophomore Grace Hagan, with five goals on the year, has been instrumental in getting the Jayhawks scoring again, but Kansas' biggest acquisition this season was off the field.
With the addition of Bri Young to the Kansas coaching staff this season, the team has set new offensive goals and are striving to achieve them.
Bri Young shook hands with her mentors and former players Sept. 23 in a Friday night win over Texas Tech.
Eight months ago, she celebrated a Big 12 Tournament title with the Texas Tech, a 1-0 against Kansas in the final which was the first Big 12 tournament final in school history. For Kansas, the game represented a big missed opportunity.
Midfielder Grace Hagan dribbles down field in a game against Texas Tech
Texas Tech's coaching team of Tom Stone and Neil Payne were huge influences on Young's journey through coaching. She said Payne, who coached her club team, was like her second dad growing up.
"I definitely like being on the winning side so it's cool to be around your mentor on the different side, because I learned a lot [from them]," Young said. "It was a little bit different, but it was also really cool and it is kind of full circle. I learned a lot from them so it was cool to be able to apply that and get that win."
On Sept. 23, she enjoyed the 2-1 come-from-behind win over the Texas Tech Red Raiders from the other side: as the new assistant coach with the Kansas Jayhawks. Unlike the November Big 12 Tournament loss to the Red Raiders, the 2-1 win signified an important step forward for the Jayhawks.
Not only did the team
achieve a win over the Red Raiders, whose win in the final last season was a crushing one, but the Jayhawks recorded a record attendance of 1,617, a significant step forward for a growing program that moved into state-of-the-art new venue Rock Chalk Park for the first full season last year. On the field, Kansas turned 17 shots into seven shots on goal, and converted two penalty kicks on the way to the win.
Since Young joined the Jayhawks in February 2016, associate coach Kelly Miller said she brought energy to the coaching staff. The Kansas dugout has been headed up by coach Mark Francis and associate head coach Miller for the last 18 years.
"For our forwards, we have basically said to them [scoring] is part of your job," Francis said after a 1-0 win over Colorado on Aug. 26. "This is part of your role on the team."
Young has injected energy into a coaching re-think.
Young takes the place of Jessica Smith as assistant coach for the Jayhawks. Smith moves on to an upstart Kansas State women's soccer program, taking the same position for the Wildcats in the program's first season.

"I just think I bring a different voice than they've heard for a long time."
Bri Young Assistant coach
The team's freshmen had no problem scoring important
Young is hard on the players she challenges to improve. For forwards, the practice schedule is everything except reliable. Along with set piece specialists, Kansas forwards work well after practice ends for the others players to practice their finishing.
The Jayhawks entered the season with depth across every position, and that was evident quickly.
"Bri's been a great motivator for us and shes been very positive about it all," Forward Mandi Duggan said. "She's very stern about it but you want to do good for her because she really believes in you."
goals in the nonconference season, while the roster afforded plenty of rotation of players in the back line and midfield for Francis. At this point in the season last year, Kansas had was out four times. This season, Kansas has only been shut out twice and faced considerably tougher competition in the nonconference season.
that we want to do."
"Our forwards have done a really good job this season about like buying into what we want to do," Young said. "I love when forwards combine with each other because that's what makes the back line have to make a decision and when the back line has to make a decision that leaves gaps and so that just makes it a little bit easier for us to do the things
Young said she wasn't sure whether the impact from her coaching has created the increased scoring efficiency, or whether it's been the makeup of a deep roster full of forwards. Regardless, what the Jayhawks are doing this season has produced some results.
Young pointed out that Kansas is fifth in the nation in corner kicks so far this season.
Kansas earned a result against 25th-ranked Pepperdine with a 1-1 draw to end the nonconference season, one that along with the win over No.25 Texas Tech last weekend will shine on an NCAA tournament resume. The Jayhawks also narrowly lost to a now-top-10-ranked Minnesota team in the first match of the season.
The decision Young made to leave Texas Tech, the school she helped lead to the Big 12 Tournament title and the NCAA tournament last season, has gone smoothly. She said Kansas' attacking and possession-oriented style of play attracted her to Lawrence.
"I think as a unit we've been doing a really good job of making sure that when we do possess the ball, we have a purpose," Young said. "And that's our main goal throughout this whole season."
For a coaching tandem as experienced as Francis and Miller, new ideas become hard to find or stick with. Francis said he hired Young to bring something different to the team. He added he has been happy with the job Young has
done so far in her time with Kansas.
"I think she's a different personality," Francis said. "She has her way of doing it and she's just a little bit different. Sometimes different's good."
As a player, Young was a standout defender at Texas A&M. At the time, Texas A&M was still in the Big 12, but it has since moved to the SEC. Francis recruited her, but lost out to a powerhouse Texas A&M that went on to win the Big 12 regular season title in Young's junior year in 2010, finishing in second the two years previous.
In both the 2010 and 2011 season, her junior and senior years, Young was named to the MAC Hermann Trophy Watch List, college soccer's player of the year award, before the season.
When injury plagued her senior season, Young's dreams of turning pro turned into coaching dreams. She worked her way up from coaching with her club team to coaching her high school's varsity team, until landing with her mentors Stone and Payne at Texas Tech.
Moving on to Kansas, Young said she brings a different voice to a Kansas program looking to move forward.
"I just think I bring a different voice than they've heard for a long time. Of course, [Francis] and [Miller] have been together for 18 years. So I think it's just a different perspective, you know. The best of both worlds. We make a pretty good team."
After Texas loss, KU volleyball looks to regain Big 12 momentum

@nlin33
After a heartbreaking loss to then No. 5 Texas (10-2, 2-0 Big 12) on Saturday, the No. 8 Jayhawks (12-2, 1-1 Big 12) are looking to climb their way back to the top of the Big 12 with a home matchup versus Baylor (13-4, 1-0 Big 12) this weekend.
Kansas lost to Texas in four sets (27-25, 25-16, 18-25, 25-19). Junior right side hitter Kelsie Payne and junior outside hitter Madison Rigdon led the team in kills. They combined for 38 of Kansas' total kills.
"We'll commit to getting to be a better team," said Bechard. "Baylor is red hot right now and that's going to come rolling in. There's a lot ahead of us."
The latest AVCA Coaches Poll was released Monday and Kansas remained at No. 8 for the second-straight week. Texas bumped up one spot to No. 4. This is the 16th-straight week both Kansas and Texas have been ranked nationally in the top 10. Kansas State dropped out of the polls but is still receiving votes. Baylor and TCU are also receiving votes.
Big 12 in aces, averaging 1.65 this season. Senior libero Cassie Wait is 82 digs away from sneaking into the Big 12 top 10 for career digs.She currently leads the Big 12 with 1.635 digs. Senior middle blocker Tayler Soucie currently ranks first in the conference in blocks with 446 and first in block assists with 415.
Gametime is set for Saturday afternoon at 1 p.m. in Horejsi Family Athletics Center. The match will be broadcast on ESPN3.
Kansas defeated Baylor in both meetings of the 2015 season. The Jayhawks swept the Bears at home, but Kansas had more of a challenge on Baylor's home court as they went 3-1. Baylor has swept its opponent
in just three sets in eight of its 13 wins. Baylor is on a nine-game winning streak and will go up against Texas Tech (10-7, 0-2 Big 12) Wednesday evening.
We just got to believe it, believe in each other and control what we can control on our side," said coach Ray Bechard.

LATE NIGHT
IN THE PHOG
OCT. 1 2016
---
In 30-plus years since Larry Brown created it under a different moniker, Late Night in the Phog has become one of the richest traditions not only at Kansas, but also from around the country.
From 1985 when only a couple thousand students gathered to watch Brown's Jayhawks; to 1996 when Scot Pollard, still in costume from the entertainment before, proposed to his girlfriend; to 2013 when thousands of fans were turned away before Andrew Wiggins made his debut at Allen Fieldhouse, it's became a mainstay of the
Kansas college basketball season.
For fans, it's an opportunity to see players for the first time. But for the players, it's an opportunity to show who they truly are with their skits and dances. More than that, though, it's become an event for players to show appreciation for the fans with an intimate evening inside Allen Fieldhouse.
That tradition, from how it came to be to what it has become, is the overarching theme of this section. I hope you enjoy it.

LATE NIGHT IN THE PHOG TIMELINE
54321
University Archives
1985
This is the beginning, the start of what has become "Late Night in the Phog," but was originally called "Late Night with Larry Brown," playing off "Late Night with David Letterman." At this time, Late Night was nothing more than just a scrimmage, drawing a small group of fans. Allen Fieldhouse was mostly empty — one-third full at most — for Brown's open practice of sorts. It started at 12:01 a.m., when practice for the 1985-86 season was finally allowed to start.
1999
The Lawrence Journal-World wrote that there was a "touching tribute" to Wilt Chamberlain, just four days after his death, before the scrimmage and dunks. One year after visiting, Collision sang while Eric Chenowith and Jeff Carey played guitar to Limp Bizkit songs. "That had to be the lowlight of the night, even more than my dancing." Williams told the Journal-World. It was also a hot one in Allen Fieldhouse, which does not have any form of air conditioning.
1986
In just its second year, Late Night began growing, still under the "Late Night with Larry Brown" moniker. About 6,000 attended as Larry Bud Melman was the guest of honor and signed autographs.
1988
This year was called "Later with Roy Williams" and drew about 10,000 fans, according to the Lawrence Journal-World. The high-light of this year was junior college transfer Alonzo Jamison pulling down the backboard's support post in warm ups. "I've been in a lot of gyms," Roy Williams said in his first year as head coach. "But I've never seen anything like that." Williams also gave a speech to the student body and said: "There are certain times that you'll always remember and tonight — the reception I got from the student body — is something I'll always remember."
University Archives
1989
This is the first year that Late Night made it on the front page of the Kansan, although it was called "Midnight Court Saturday." Two bands, The Nace Brothers and Shooting Star, performed with "the distinct smell of marijuana in the Fieldhouse," the Lawrence Journal-World wrote. That said, Doug Vance, the director of sports and information and coordinator for the event, said, "I thought it got louder in Allen Fieldhouse tonight than I've ever seen it for a game."
1990
of
Late Night was now named "Late Night with Roy Williams," and went back to the free format after students paid to get in in 1989. "We'll never change again," said Jill Godfrey, assistant director of marketing. Comic David Naster was the entertainment, filling time before Homestead Grays, a local band, performed. Macolm Nash lip-synched "Can't Touch This," and four recruits took a visit.
1991
Adonis Jordan scored 25 points in the game to lead the way for Kansas in one of the best Late Night performances of all-time. "The shot was going in so I just kept pumping 'em up," Jordan said to the Journal-World. "But that's just my normal game." 7-foot-2 center Greg Ostertag sung Garth Brooks' "Friends in Low Places." Three recruits visited from across the U.S. Virginia, Salt Lake City and Garden City Community College.
1998
31
For the singing and dancing, the team put on an award show similar to the Oscars, but, instead, the players got "Naismiths" for their acting performances on the court. The crowd was 15,800, according to the Lawrence Journal-World. Williams and women's coach Marian Washington danced on the court. The Journal-World also ran a picture of recruit Kirk Hinrich, who was at the Fieldhouse to take in the event along with Nick Collison.
University Archives
This year was all about Scot Pollard. Still dressed in costume from an earlier skit, Pollard proposed to his then-girlfriend Mindy Camp in front of a packed house. "Egotistically speaking, I don't think that can be topped," Pollard told the Lawrence Journal-World. She, of course, said yes.
1996
1995
This, from all accounts, is the first time people were turned away at Late Night, with 2,000 or so not making it in, according to the Lawrence Journal-World. The Lawrence Journal-World wrote that Williams was, "literally amazed" with the entertainment at the event, including former Kansas football coach Glen Mason introducing the event by announcing, "Live from Allen Fieldhouse, it's Late Night With Roy Williams."
1994
This year featured four celebrity coaches: Hall-of-Famer George Brett and golf legend Tom Watson on one team, with Royals' outfielder Brian McRae and six-time Pro Bowl safety Deron Cherry. All of which are Kansas fans. 15,000 fans attended for the Roy Williams event. "George is my kind of guy." Williams told the Lawrence Journal-World. "I was trying to get the officials to call a technical on Watson, but they wouldn't do it."
2002
The final Late Night with Roy Williams was this one. According to the Journal-World, Jeff Hawkins imitated Dick Vitale as part of an "American Idol" skit, while Collison played Bob Knight and Jeff Graves played Stuart Scott. Williams was also happy with the addition of video boards that hung in the corners of the Fieldhouse. Williams called this day "the most fun I ever had (as as coach)," according to the Journal-World.

LATE NIGHT IN THE PHOG
3B
Kansas and Bill Self unveiled its National Championship banner from the season before in front of 16,300 Kansas fans. Bill Self said he almost started crying. Each group of players — freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors — all did a dancing number. Tyshawn Taylor, a freshman at the time, led the team with 17 points.
2007
Every player sang at least one song this year, months before Kansas basketball would go on to win a National Championship. Self was most impressed with Russell Robinson's version of "New York, New York," which was fitting for the guard from the Bronx. Sherron Collins led the team with 13 points, and Brandon Rush didn't play, but tried to before he was stopped by trainers, according to the Journal-World.
2005
Again, this year was near capacity, but this time for a 6:30 p.m. start which is the same start time as this year. It was the first year the event was hosted before midnight. Rodrick Stewart carried the dunk portion of the show, according to the Journal-World, with a between-the-legs dunk.
When Bill Self arrived, "Late Night with Roy Williams" was renamed to the name it has today: "Late Night in the Phog." Self gave a speech about the tradition of Late Night, saying, "Basketball at Kansas is bigger than any individual ... it is about a way of life, no matter what." The 1988 National Championship team also was honored at Late Night.
2003
2009
This was the 25th year of Late Night at the Phog. Maybe the best impression came from Bonnie Henrickson, the then women's basketball coach, who did her best Paula Abdul. Bill Self did an impersonation of former Notre Dame coach Digger Phelps with a green jacket and tie, according to the Journal-World.
2010
Former Kansas forward Scot Pollard hosted Late Night in 2010, as Bill Self performed as Vanilla Ice decked out in an all-gold track suit. Ben McLemore attended the event as a recruit as Marcus and Markieff Morris, Tyshawn Taylor, Brady Morningstar and Josh Selby were among the players to perform.
2011
Travis Releford and Elijah Johnson were among the Kansas stars to perform in skits in 2011's Late Night. Leather jacket-clad Bill Self entered Allen Fieldhouse riding a KU-themed motorcycle. Perry Ellis attended the event as a signee for next season at Kansas. Host Rob Riggle refereed a boxing match between Director of Basketball Operations Barry Hinson and professional boxer Victor Ortiz.
2012
2015
Travis Reelford and Jeff Withey were among Kansas players to perform a dance in front of a packed Allen Fieldhouse. Bill Self toned it down this year with a tan suit jacket and jeans as he addressed the fans. Jamari Traylor and Ben McLemore both readied for their first seasons on the floor for Kansas, coming off redshirt seasons.
Kansas Director of Basketball Operations Brennan Bechard hit a half-court shot that won Kansas sophomore Jerrod Martin Castro a $10,000 check from Bill Self. The Kansas team wore all white to perform their dance routine. New Kansas women's basketball coach Brandon Schneider addressed the crowd.
2014
Bill Self addressed the crowd at 2014's Late Night wearing the same suit Andrew Wiggins wore to the 2014 NBA Draft, where he was taken first overall by the Minnesota Timberwolves. Freshmen Devonte' Graham and Kelly Oubre Jr. made their first impressions on fans.

Andrew Wiggins' first season as a Jayhawk caused a lot of excitement for Kansas fans. Hundreds were turned away as a huge turnout came in hopes of seeing Wiggins play in the red vs. blue scrimmage. Wiggins performed a dance with his teammates dressed in a tuxedo. Host Rob Riggle was introduced by being carried onto the floor on a white throne.

Late Night in the Phog
▶ CHRISTIAN S. HARDY
@ByHardy
AT A GLANCE
Just like almost any Bill Self team in the past, this one has a shot to make a deep run in the tournament. But unlike a lot of those Self teams, there's incredible depth, and seniority in that depth. Mason and Graham should be one of the best backcourts in the country, alongside wings in Mykhailiuk, Jackson and sophomore LaGerald Vick, and a frontcrest that will have the talent and experience to be strong down the stretch.
PLAYER TO WATCH
1
Josh Jackson freshman. guard
Just like with Andrew Wiggins at Late Night 2013, all eyes will be Josh Jackson in this one. Of course, with the experienced depth mentioned above, there should be a lot loss pressure for Jackson than there was Wiggins. Still, watching the No. 1 recruit with a Kansas jersey on inside Allen Fieldhouse will be exciting for fans. With only one year here at Kansas in all likelihood, fans should soak in every minute of it.
QUESTION MARK
Will Carlton Bragg Jr. be a viable Perry Ellis replacement?
This might not be a question that gets answered right off the bat, but this is the big one if Kansas is going to make a deep run in the postseason. Mason and Graham can be relied on to average upwards of 12 points a piece. Jackson may start slow — and when he does, Mykhailiuk should do a nice job of warming the seat up for him — but he won't be relied on for production until at least the start of the conference season. Also, Lucas proved he can play a big role for Kano — The amount of games Kansas won on the road last season.
31 — This will be the 31st "Midnight Madness" type of event held at Allen Field-house. It wasn't named "Late Night in the Phog" until 2003.
12 - Bill Self won his 12thstraight Big 12 title last season. He's won Big 12 Coach of the Year in half of those seasons, including last year.
BY THE NUMBERS
3 — Kansas basketball returns three starters this year in Frank Mason III, Devonte' Graham and Landen Lucas.
BIG JAY WILL CHEER IF.
First and foremost, to be cliché, no one gets hurt. But more importantly, if Carlton Bragg Jr. gets another solo piano performance. Bragg in the tuxedo, on top of the Jayhawk at center court inside a dark Allen Fieldhouse was fantastic last season. A few skirts from Self and Co. — like his spoofs of last year's DirectTV commercials — would be fun to see as well. After all, the scrimmage only makes up a very small chunk of Late Night, which officially starts at 6:30 p.m.
MEN
STARTING FIVE
PETER MCKENNAM
Frank Mason III, senior, guard
Frank Mason III, senior, guard Frank Mason III, a second team All-Big 12 selection last year, is the team's surefire leader with Perry Ellis and Wayne Selden Jr. out of the picture. He's started in all but one game over his last two seasons and is one half of what is considered the best backcourt in the Big 12. He's constantly praised for his toughness and his basketball IQ, both of which will be crucial traits as the team's leader.
★★★★★
D. A. HENRY
Devonte' Graham, junior, guard
Devonte' Graham was named DraftExpress' No. 3 NBA Draft prospect in the Big 12 behind only Josh Jackson and Texas center Jarrett Allen. He struggled down the stretch in the NCAA tournament, but still is the next go-to leader after Mason. He shot an astounding 44.1 percent from three-point range last year, averaging two threes per game in 32.6 minutes. He made huge strides in his sophomore year and should again this year. Along with Mason and Josh Jackson, Graham will be a big contributor on the scoreboard for Kansas.
★★★★★
M. ABDULFATHI
Josh Jackson, freshman, guard
One of our question marks on this game day comes with freshman Josh Jackson, considered by many to be the No.1 recruit in the nation, and what his role will be early in the season. Bill Self and players have mentioned they're impressed with the freshman thus far, but Late Night will be the first opportunity for fans to see the big-time recruit in action. Technically, he will probably have to beat out junior Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk for this spot, but that shouldn't take long considering Jackson's incredible athletic ability.
★★★☆☆
MERCEDES BANK
Carlton Bragg Jr., sophomore, forward The one who is "always smiling," who can regularly be heard in the Kansas Union playing piano and who played a rendition of John Legend's "All of Me" at last year's Late Night, that is Carlton Bragg Jr., and he's Self's best replacement for Perry Ellis. Of course, Bragg won't be expected to do everything Ellis did at KU. It's conceivable, even likely, that much of the scoring will fall to the guards on this team. In years past, Ellis was as reliable as they come under the basket. Even if his numbers aren't huge, Bragg's steady presence in the front court will be crucial for this team to make a run.
Carlton Bragg Jr., sophomore, forward
★★★☆☆
Landen Lucas, junior, forward
The Jayhawks were 18-2 last year with Landen Lucas starting under the rim and he was a crucial factor in the tournament. He matured and emerged at an important time for Kansas last year. This year, he'll be relied on under the rim for an entire season. If he continues to shoot at the clip he did last year — 66.4 percent — and plays the same amount of minutes as he did down the stretch in the tournament — 33.7 per game in the last three games — he'll be just as important as any other player on this Jayhawks team. Expect 7-foot freshman Udoka Azubuike to be in the mix in the front court as well.
★★★★☆
WOMEN
STARTING FIVE
Jessica Washington, junior, guard
Washington sat out the 2015-16 season due to NCAA transfer rules, but will play a vital role in Schneider's offense this season. She was ranked the No.14 overall player in the 2013 high school women's basketball recruiting class and was the No.2 overall point guard according to ESPN HoopGurlz. Washington averaged 7.3 points during her sophomore year at North Carolina. She went on to average 12.5 points per game while shooting 50% from the floor during the 2015 ACC Tournament. Washington is a quick guard who will bring some fire to this Kansas team.
★★★☆☆
NI
McKenzie Calvert, sophomore, guard Calvert is a redshirt sophomore who also sat out last season due to NCAA transfer rules. In 2014, Calvert was a five-star point guard and ranked as the No. 15 overall recruit by ESPN HoopGurlz. In her freshman year at Southern California, she averaged 10.2 points per game and was able to capture a Pac-12 freshman of the week honors. In the women's European tour this past summer, Calvert showed that she can be an answer to Kansas' lackluster scoring last season.
McKenzie Calvert, sophomore, guard
★★☆☆
Yolnina
Kylee Kopatich, sophomore, guard
In her freshman campaign, Kopatich showed just how valuable she is to this Kansas squad. Last year, Kopatich led the team with 43 steals and 67 trips to the free-throw line. Kopatich was the second leading scorer on the team, averaging 9.5 points per game behind former Kansas point guard Lauren Aldridge. She was also able to lead the team with 113 defensive rebounds on the season. Her raw talent and go-to scoring ability will help her emerge as an elite player on the team this season.
★★★☆
Chayla Cheadle, junior, forward
Cheadle started 23 out of 31 games in the 2015-16 season and was able to rack-up 30 steals. Cheadle was an important factor in Kansas' win over TCU in the first round of the Big 12 championship last year. She posted 15 points while shooting 5-of-8 from the field. Expect Cheadle to be an important role player on the court this season.
★★☆☆
YUAN QIAO
Caelynn Manning-Allen, senior, center Kansas head coach Brandon Schneider will look for senior Manning-Allen to dominate down low this year. Last season, Manning-Allen was an intimidating presence in the paint as she led the team with 38 blocks and 4.9 rebounds per game. Manning-Allen shot $40.7\%$ on the field for the season but averaged only 6.7 points per game. If Kansas really wants to bring their play to new heights this season, Manning-Allen must create more scoring opportunities and finish at the rim.
★★☆★★
▶ JARED ANDERSON
@jAnderson_383
AT A GLANCE
This year, head coach Brandon Schneider will look to be a threat in conference play after going 0-18 in the Big 12 last season. Jessica Washington and McKenzie Calvert will help provide Schneider with the extra scoring ability Kansas desperately needs. Their opening-round win against TCU in the 2016 Big 12 tournament is something this team can build off of.
PLAYER TO WATCH
P. SINGH
Kylee Kopatich sonhomore. guard
Kopatich has emerged as a key player for this Kansas team and will be called upon to elevate her game to a new level this season. Kopatich started 30 out of 31 games last season and was ranked eighth in the Big 12 for minutes played. She was able to hit 45 of her 171 three-pointers in 2015-16 and will look to improve that number this year. As a freshman, Kopatich was just shy of averaging dou-
Who will replace Lauren Aldridge?
QUESTION MARK
With Lauren Aldridge no longer at Kansas, who will make up for her 344 points and 73 assists? Jessica Washington and McKenzie Calvert are two capable guards that can help fill the gap Lauren Aldridge left behind when she transferred to Missouri last spring. Washington is an athletic guard who can dish the ball and take it to the hoop. Calvert is a natural scorer and has great handles on the floor. These two guards have the ability to emerge as stars in their own right this season.
1 - The number of players that posted a double-digit point per game total for the 2015-16 season.
BY THE NUMBERS
46 - The difference between the highest (81) and smallest (35) point totals in a game last season.
BIG JAY WILL CHEER IF.
Kansas' guards consistently create scoring opportunities while Manning-Allen is a dominant force in the paint. Although Manning-Allen led the team in total rebounds last season, she failed to lead the team in offensive and defensive rebounds. At 6'4", Manning-Allen must use her size to clean up the boards and finish at the rim. It should also be a successful season if Kylee Kopatich can lead Kansas to victories with key players like Tyler Johnson contributing off of the bench.

Since last March, when the second-seeded Villanova Wildcats upset the top-seeded Kansas Jayhawks in the Elite 8, KU fans have been waiting.
Missy Minear/KANSAN
The student section throws up confetti
They have been waiting through offseason recruiting, a long summer without any college basketball and a trainwreck of a football season. (I know the Jayhawks are only 1-2, but I'm fully willing and ready to put my credibility on the line by saying this season will be just as painful as last). It was a painful wait for some Kansas basketball fans, and a long wait for all.
But now the wait is over.
For the first time since March 5, the Kansas Jayhawks basketball team will take to the court at Allen Fieldhouse during the annual "Late Night in the Phog" event.
It's a tradition the entire Lawrence community marks on their calendars and counts down the days to. If you look outside Allen Fieldhouse on the morning of Late Night, Oct.1, you will see students of varying ages, families from around the Lawrence area and maybe even some faculty lining up in preparation of the big event.
It truly is a cool sight to see something that seems as small as the first official practice for Kansas basketball bring so many different kinds of people together.
Now I have to warn you, do not go into Late Night in the Phog expecting to see these players going 100 percent, running half court sets, etc. Honestly, I'll be impressed if there's more than one off-ball screen all night.
These first practice traditions happen all across the country at universities with strong basketball programs, such as Kentucky, Michigan State, Duke, etc. and each has their own individual flair. It's impossible to say objectively that one program does it better than another, however, when you see the excitement in people of all
ages from all backgrounds around the community, it's safe to say that Kansas does it pretty damn well.
What you will likely experience is cool lighting, ridiculously impressive dunks and of course some creative dance routines that always feature a few team members
You won't be able to break it down, you won't be able to see a certain starting five, but you will see the Jayhawks take the court at Allen Fieldhouse for the first time since March.
dancing with hilarious awkwardness.
The wait is over. KU basketball is back.

Kansas welcomes group of recruits for Late Night
BRIAN MINI @brianminimum
n addition to being a fun event for fans to catch a preview of the 2016-2017 Jayhawks, Late Night in the Phog has also been a useful tool for recruits.
It's proved successful in the past, with commits from visitors like Carlton Bragg Jr., Kelly Oubre Jr., Perry Ellis, Wayne Selden Jr., Ben McLemore and Joel Embiid, among others.
This year is one of the biggest crowds of recruits Kansas has had in a while.
"We probably have too many coming," Kansas
coach Bill Self said. "But that's kind of how it worked out. But more importantly than the five or so we have coming officially, we're going to have many unofficial visits too. It'll be a busy weekend."
While Kansas waits on decisions from the long list of visitors, the coaching staff already has a commit in 2017 guard Marcus Garrett. 247Sports ranks him just below guard Sherron Collins and just above forward Darnell Jackson in Kansas' top recruits since 2000. However, because of games this weekend, Garrett will be unable to attend Saturday's Late Night in the Phog.
The list so far consists of Troy Brown, Billy Preston, Collin Sexton, Tremont Waters and Cody Riley. There are also numerous members of the 2018 and 2019 recruiting class attending, including Bol Bol, Brandon Williams, Immanuel Quickley, Matthew Hurt, Jeremiah Robinson, Zach Harvey, Markese Jacobs and Grant Sherfield.
The list is long, but the top five are listed to the right:
Other Recruits Attending Late Night
Troy Brown Small Forward Class of 2017 6'6" 210 lbs. ESPN's No. 18
Billy Preston
Power Forward
Class of 2017
6'10" , 230 lbs.

Tremont Waters Point Guard Class of 2017 511' 165 lbs. ESPN's No.32
Cody Riley Point Forward Class of 2017 6'7", 260 lbs. ESPN's No.45
Brandon Williams Point Guard Class of 2018 6'1"，175lbs ESPN's No.14
Jeremiah Robinson Power Forward Class of 2019 6'7"，205 Ibs. 247Sports No.54
Zach Harvey
Zach Harvey Guard Class of 2019 64"，170 lbs. 247sports' No.43
Markese Jacobs Point Guard Class of 2019 5'10"，155 lbs. 247sports No.71
1. Collin Sexton
★★★★
Point Guard (Class of 2017)
2. Bol Bol
★★★★
Power Forward (Class of 2018)
Ranked seventh in the class of 2017, Sexton is known for his scoring ability and his ability to "anticipate a bad pass and turn it into points," according to ESPN.
3. Immanuel Quickley
★★★★
Point Guard (Class of 2018)
★★★★★
Forward (Class of 2019)
4. Matthew Hurt
5. Grant Sherfield
★★★★★
Shooting Guard (Class of 2019)
Son of late NBA player Manute Bol, the Bishop Miege star stands at 6'11" and has been linked to Kansas for a quite a while now, according to 24/7Sports' Crystal Ball predictions. He ranks 12th in the class of 2018 and is ranked as the 6th best power forward.
Quickley is the newest addition to the Late Night recruit list. Quickley sits at number 16 nationally and is regarded as the third best point guard in the class according to 24/ Sports. At 6'3," Quickley is known for his size, passing ability and outside shot.
It's difficult to evaluate a prospect who's still three years away from playing at the collegiate level, but Hurt seems to be highly regarded. He's ranked fourth nationally and is considered the second best small forward. He has the height to play either forward position at 6'9."
Kansas offered Sherfield a scholarship back in July which shows how highly the coaching staff thinks of him. He's ranked 19th nationally and second in shooting guards. Sherfield isn't as highly touted in his ranking but his play is visually similar to current Kansas guard Frank Mason's use of floaters and driving to the hoop to create open passes.

Rolstad: Kansas can handle Josh Jackson hype
SKYLAR ROLSTAD
@SkyRolSports
Stepping on campus for his freshman season, Josh Jackson, Kansas' No. 1 recruit, is no stranger to attention.
Already, the 6-foot-7 shooting guard has made some serious impressions on his teammates and has made history in recruiting circles.
Junior guard Devonte' Graham singled Jackson out as the most impressive freshman when talking to media after a session of Bill Self's season-opening boot camp, the intense couple weeks of training the players go through to get conditioned for the season.
As for the recruiting history, Jackson was rated 102 out of 100 on recruiting website 247Sports, the highest score the site has ever given a recruit. He was rated first in the nation on 247Sports and second in the ESPN 100, after Duke's Harry Giles.
JAMES
"I always say the first [year] is the hardest," Graham said. "Because you never know what to expect."
It is never easy for a top program like Kansas to handle the attention around a No.1 recruit like Jackson. However, Kansas is a program well-equipped to handle the attention Jackson generates.
Retired long-time Jayhawk IMG Sports Network announcer Bob Davis recalled some of the good times in the year Wiggins spent in Lawrence.
I'm not the only one making the comparison between Wiggins and Jackson on the court. Self told the Kansas City Star he saw some of Wiggins in Jackson himself.
Wiggins, of course, already measured up to them.
He was taken first overall in the 2014 NBA Draft by the Minnesota Timberwolves and won the NBA Rookie of the Year award in 2015.
Remember Andrew Wiggins? Jackson and Wiggins have a lot in common. Both came to Kansas as the top recruit in the nation and both faced high expectations levied on them.

Hall to call home, but the first full season.
"He was, at times, just absolutely sensational," Davis said. "Even in a loss to West Virginia where he was just fabulous. He had games where he didn't do as much but he was still a young player, a true freshman. You're not going to be super every night, but he's a guy that defenses were certainly aware of and I think he's proving now in the NBA what a big-time player he is."
The most important thing in place for Jackson to avoid the outside pressure at Kansas is probably one of the biggest reasons he chose Kansas: McCarthy Hall, the $12 million new dorm for the basketball players. This is only the second season the players have had McCarthy
Kansas coach Bill Self talked after Late Night in the Phog last season about the benefit of having McCarthy Hall. He referenced an issue the team had with two professional autograph seekers who hounded Wiggins at Jayhawker Towers, reported the Lawrence Journal-World in Aug. 2013. Wiggins understandably had some issues being a normal college student outside of his Kansas basketball obligations.
Missy Minear/KANSAN
The good news is Jackson won't have these problems. Or at least he won't feel the brunt of them. Even on the court, teammates will have Jackson's back.
While he didn't start every game right away, Wiggins averaged 32.8 minutes per game and put up some really impressive numbers in those minutes, like 34 percent three-point shooting and 17.1 points per game.
Wiggins ended up being a great player to take the shooting guard position, but he had Wayne Selden Jr. starting alongside him and not much behind him. Jackson, on the other hand, has a solid foundation of teammates who can help him if he struggles and can replicate the production expected from Jackson.
These are players like Lagerald Vick and Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk, experienced and proven contributors for the Jayhawks in past years. Wiggins was backed up by Brannen Greene and Andrew White III at the three spot.
Outside of the shooting guard position, Jackson
is also helped by a more rounded-out squad across the floor. Seniors Lander Lucas and Frank Mason III will be important leaders for the Jayhawks. Even forward
Carlton Bragg Jr. has a little experience and looks forward to a little more playing time this season.
Coming into one of the biggest programs in the nation puts a lot on the shoulders of a 19-year-old, but Kansas has everything in place this season to make Jackson a standout freshman.

SHAUN GOODWIN
@Shaungoodwin96
LANDEN LUCAS
An ESPN four-star recruit, 20th at power forward and 92nd overall in the recruiting class of 2012. Landen Lucas was stacked up against players such as Georges Niang and Kansas' own Perry Ellis. With offers from strong basketball schools such as Stanford, California and Washington, it was fortunate that Lucas decided to become a Jayhawk.
Lucas came to Kansas as a relatively unknown quantity from Westview High School in Portland, Ore. He finished his high school career averaging 21 points, 14 rebounds and four blocks per game, yet redshirted his freshman year at Kansas. After the 2013-14 season as a redshirt freshman, Lucas was averaging 4.9 minutes per game, yet was establishing himself as a powerful presence in the paint. In a 91-69 win over TCU, Lucas played a career-high 13 minutes and scored seven points as he stepped in for Tarik Black, planting a seed in the back of Kansas fans' minds.
Granted, after his first year playing in Allen Fieldhouse, Lucas still had a lot to work on. In particular, his post play needed work, considering that Bill Self was utilizing him as a post player. Being 6-foot-10 and 240 pounds, and by far one of the toughest players on the team, he was the perfect type of player to fit into this role; all he had to do was improve his reactions and athleticism. With the stamina and grit to run end to end, play after play, to be underneath the basket, the post player requires a special kind of athlete.
Throughout his sophomore year, Lucas saw his playing time increase by over 400 percent to 485 minutes, compared to 107 minutes his freshman year. He followed that up his junior year with 664 minutes in 36 games, averaging 18.4 minutes per game.
Most importantly, in his junior year, he started 19 of the last 20 games of the season, with the only exception being senior night. After two years of hard work, the results started to show as he led the Jayhawks in rebounding with 6.8 per game, good for seventh-best in the Big 12. This led to him earning an All-Big 12 honorable mention, one of five Jayhawks to be recognized.
This is the kind of player Bill Self was looking for when Lucas came to Kansas. A player who can get up and down the court relentlessly, a player who is willing to sacrifice his body on every play to win the ball back for his team, and can be a rock on defense. In my opinion, we haven't seen such a player so consistently dominant in the paint since Jeff Withey, and heading into his final year, I believe Lucas won't be an unsung hero, but a leader for this team.

Missy Minear/KANSAN Now-senior guard Frank Mason III drives to the basket against Kansas State.
When Frank Mason III arrived to Lawrence to begin his collegiate basketball career, he wasn't treated as the dynamic, star point guard that he is today. He was limited to 16 minutes per game and wasn't seen as an x-factor for the team. However, with players like Andrew Wiggins and Joel Embiid on the roster it was easy to fall into the shadows.
spotlight on himself and the Kansas basketball team.
son is the player who has improved most since their freshman year.
In his freshman year, coming off the bench, Mason averaged 5.5 points, 2.1 assists and 1.3 rebounds per game. In his sophomore year, Mason more than doubled his scoring to 12.6 points per game, and increased assists and rebounds by around three apiece. Last year, Mason kept his scoring about the same, but became more efficient as a point guard, posting over four assists per game.
He is now a leader and is as close to a professional as one can be in college basketball.
▶ TOMMY SOPIC
@tsop44
Mason soon became a fan favorite.
While his numbers have almost tripled since he started at Kansas, that
Mason is also a very decorated athlete, winning three-straight Big 12 titles and placing first in many categories in the conference, such as defensive wins shared, minutes played and games played. Not many other athletes have achieved what Mason has.
Over the summer of his sophomore year, Mason led his team to represent Team USA over seas in the World University Games. He scored 18 points in the tournament's gold medal game, securing victory for the team. Having the pressure of wearing your nations colors would be enough for most athletes to crack, but Mason proved his strength and character by being one of the best players in the tournament,
In his freshman year, Mason shined even with reduced minutes in more ways than just scoring. ESPN recounted a time when, against Florida, Andrew Wiggins held the ball over his head and screamed for someone to help him. Mason was that help, and he avoided any turnovers for the rest of the game with his amazing ball control.
The difference between Mason and most incoming freshmen superstars is that Mason wasn't handed the title of captain or given the game ball from the start. He worked consistently for three years to get where he is now. Looking at what he has accomplished, it has definitely paid off.

With time, junior guard Devonte' Graham has realized the importance of Late Night in the Phog

@ByHardy
The first time Devonte' Graham saw Allen Fieldhouse lined with Kansas fans in crimson and blue was not on a recruiting visit or in Kansas' first exhibition game. As a nontraditional recruit who signed with Appalachian State then later backed out of his letter of intent, he never saw Allen Fieldhouse full on a visit.
When he was a baby-faced freshman with a short haircut and bubbling nerves jogging onto a foggy court for the Late Night in the Phog scrimmage — that was the first time he saw Allen Fieldhouse (mostly) full. Back then, in 2014, he was a reserve guard, nervous for the dancing, his first shot, his first impression on Kansas fans.
Now, he'll be a guide for the recruits coming to campus this weekend, aiming to show them that Lawrence is the best place to play college basketball in the nation. Now it's freshmen Josh Jackson and Udoka Azubuike who are the nervous ones — or at least they should be. Graham said.
"I think Udoka might be the one who's a little bit more nervous than everybody right now," Graham said. "I think Josh Jackson and Malik [Newman] might be two of the worst (dancers) on the team right now."
But in the two years since, Graham has learned plenty about the importance of the event, both from a recruiting and a fan stand-point.
The first time Graham saw the Fieldhouse, though, it wasn't quite full. That was the year the Royals made it to the American League Championship Series, and eventually would make it to the World Series. So, naturally, some corners of the
Fieldhouse were bare, unlike the year before, when thousands were turned away to see Andrew Wiggins in his first appearance at the Fieldhouse.
"It wasn't as packed as it usually was," Graham said. "I think coach was a little upset about that. .. Seeing Allen [Fieldhouse] packed is different than just walking in and seeing it empty. You can't imagine it."
But for those fans,it'll start at 12 p.m.,five hours before the doors are even open to students. It was one time in a myriad of others that Graham has come to realize just how important of an event Late Night is.
Last Sunday, when Graham was watching the Chiefs top the Jets at Arrowhead Stadium, several Kansas fans approached him and started talking about Late Night. For Graham, it'll start around 6:30
p. m., when the men's basketball team is expected to take the floor.
"It's a big thing," Graham said. "It's huge."
And in that time, Graham has become used to showing the recruits around when they come to Lawrence. This year, there are 11 recruits confirmed as taking visits to Late Night - five official and six unofficial, including ESPN's No.11 and No.20 ranked recruits.
When it's over, he'll go to coaches and tell them how he thinks players would fit in at Kansas. He'll push harder for some than for others, if he likes their "vibe" or the way they play. But to the recruits, when they're at the $12 million basketball apartment facility or the team's locker room, Graham's pitch is subtle.
"I'm not too pushy as a recruiter, but they're around me," Graham said. "You know, it's not easy, it's not going to be easy. You're going to have to come in here and work."
But one thing he tells every recruit is the same, and it's a glowing endorsement of Bill Self's program and the tradition of basketball at Kansas alike.
"There's nothing like being here," Graham said. "That's one thing I always say. No matter where you come from, it's one of the best places to be. That's really what I tell them."

For the last 32 years, Late Night in the Phog has signaled that the Kansas basketball season is just around the corner. Late Night's traditions — the skits, band and scrimmage — spark excitement among many Jayhawk fans. For the student athletes, it's just as magical, albeit overwhelming.
For the Kansas women's basketball team, Late Night signals the excitement that comes with the start of the season.
While the players will be out of their comfort zone Saturday night, they will at least get to pick the songs.
"It was nice when we're out on the floor, it's kind of dark so you can't see everybody," sophomore guard Kylee Kopatich said.
"They ask us what songs we like, I'm pretty sure I've almost choreographed our whole dance," senior guard Caelynn Manning-Allen said. "Coach Schneider is really open to us having fun and enjoying ourselves."
As a senior, Manning-Allen is well versed in the traditions and pageantry of Late Night along with the emotions involved.
"It's fun, it's so much fun but my freshman year was scary honestly," Manning-Allen said.

According to Kopatich, fans in attendance should be in for a treat, of sorts. "I'm not the best dancer, so when I try to dance it's kind of funny to watch," she said.
"I wish I could do it every year."
The first time Kopatich attended Late Night she was in high school, and almost didn't make it inside.
As a freshman last year, Kopatich couldn't help but take in the magic that is Allen Fieldhouse from down on the hardwood.
"It was when Andrew Wiggins was here so that was the time when it was frantic and not everybody could go," she said. "Luckily, I had that extra ticket."
"I was like oh my gosh,
Late Night isn't only about dancing and sketch comedy. It's also the first time the public will see this year's team moving the ball up and down the court after their trip to Europe in the summer.
For Manning-Allen, Saturday's Late Night will be a much different experience. It'll be her last, which according to her is the perfect time to bust out some never-before-seen dance moves.
"Oh, you're going to see a whole bunch of dance moves from me," she said.
this is my time," Kopatich said.
"We got a lot closer and I feel like that trip really helped us build chemistry," Manning-Allen said.
It's yet to be seen how the chemistry from overseas will factor in stateside, but Saturday night will be the first small glimpse.
At last year's Late Night, the men's and women's teams scrimmaged for roughly 10 minutes each.
"I'm sad to be leaving," Manning-Allen said. "I wish I could do it every year."
