Members of the U.S. Department of Arts and Culture and the University's First Nations Student Association coordinated a march Sept. 30 to bring awareness to issues surrounding the Dakota Access Pipeline.
The pipeline is a 1,172mile crude oil channel which stretches across four states. Its construction has generated controversy, particularly from the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, based in Fort Yates, N.D.
"There is a strong connection in Lawrence to what's happening at Standing Rock," said Dave Loewenstein, a Lawrence artist and co-organizer of the event.

The event, which drew over 300 people, began around 4 p.m. at Constant Park. The protest began with a prayer, and participants were then taught the chants that would be used during the march.

After arriving at the final destination, those who had visited the Standing Rock reservation shared their stories of being there. Afterwards, a round dance was performed with the participants of the march. Food was later served by activist group Food Not Bombs, and then participants told stories, took photos and videos, played music, and did more round dancing.
Landri James, president of the University's First Nations Student Association, said not everyone is able to go up to Standing Rock to
help individuals, known as Water Protectors, fight the Dakota Access Pipeline. This event was organized to have something available for those in the Lawrence community.
"I know that there are so many people that have
obligations, like work, family and school, and they would absolutely love to be there to support and help in any way we can, but we just can't go [to Standing Rock]," James said. "We decided that we should do something for KU, for
Lawrence, to raise awareness and to hopefully gather materials to donate to Standing Rock."

Before the start of Kansas volleyball's match against Baylor Saturday, the team took a moment to shift focus away from the sport and toward the ongoing conversation surrounding racial issues in America.
As the playing of the national anthem approached, the pregame ceremonies were halted as the entire Jayhawks team and coaching staff dropped to one knee and locked arms in a showing of solidarity.
The display was accompanied by a statement read over the public address system. The message described how the Jayhawks wished to promote a sense
Here is the message read before the game, in its entirety, from KU Athletics:
of unity against the social injustices that have recently come to the forefront of the public eye.
"Kansas Volleyball prides itself in its ability to be inclusive, tolerant and compassionate. We feel our diversity is one of our
greatest strengths. Though we don't always agree on every subject, we stand united against any form of social injustice. We want our love, compassion and tolerance of each other to be an example that the rest of our country can emulate. Please join KU Volleyball in a moment of reflection so each of us may contemplate how we can create a
more just, respectful and inclusive nation, where everyone has the opportunity to become the best version of themselves."
Following the speech came a moment of silence to reflect on the injustices and their impact. Afterward, the team stood, so as to not disrupt the playing of the national anthem.
We come from all different backgrounds, but we still know what it's like to treat each other the right way."
Ray Bechard Kansas coach
The statement comes after San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick stopped standing during the national anthem, saying he would not stand to show pride for a country that oppresses people of color.
Kaepernick was soon joined by his teammates, other NFL players and subsequently athletes from

2015 sees decrease in sexual violence, off-campus crime
- CHANDLER BOESE
@Chandler_Boese
The University's Lawrence campus has seen a decrease in crimes committed on Universityaffiliated property and with every type of sexual violence, according to the newly-released Clery report on the 2015 calendar year.
The Public Safety Office publishes the report annually in accordance with the Jeanne Clery Act, a consumer rights law that aims to provide safety information to parents and students choosing a university.
Across the board, non-campus facilities, which the report defines as property not owned by the University but often utilized by student groups, like fraternity or sorority houses, were the scene of fewer crimes, from rape to burglary, this year's report said.
The numbers on these areas, as well as public property near the University's campus, are provided to the Public Safety Office by the Lawrence Police Department. PSO released the full document for the University's Clery Report submission, which includes statistics on and procedures for the office's operations.
The total numbers of rape, fondling, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking cases went down between 2014 and 2015,the report said. In fact,the numbers for every criminal offense went down or stayed the same.
According to the report, there were 13 reported cases of rape during 2015, down from 19 in 2014. Of the 13, five took place in residential facilities, five in other locations on campus, one in a non-campus facility and two on public property.
Fondling cases went down from 14 to 4 and domestic violence dropped from 23 cases to 4. Dating violence and stalking both saw a smaller drop from 12 to 11 and 19 to 11.
Robbery and aggravated assault both saw a small drop, whereas burglaries decreased by more than 50 percent from 85 to 31.

many other sports. These acts, while met with some controversy, have sparked a nationwide discussion that has only increased following recent police killings of black citizens.
"It's been something our team has had a lot of dialogue about, and we just think that our team is diverse as any volleyball team in the country," coach Ray Bechard said. "We come from all different backgrounds, but we still know what it's like to treat each other the right way, be compassionate for each other, be tolerant of views, and the team thought What a great
message to send."
Following the Sept. 16 shooting of Terence Crutcher, the Jayhawks began to discuss these issues in the locker room. Eventually, they said they decided to take action. Junior Kayla Cheadle spoke as the team's representative on the matter after the game.
"It was altogether as a
team. We talked about it in the locker room and decided that we were going to take a stand on it," Cheadle said.
In addition to the pregame display, both Bechard and Cheadle said that the team would take individual action in the community to help promote change as well. Some examples given were involvement with the Boys and Girls Club, or volunteering in community kitchens.
This is the first Kansas team to make a public statement regarding the national conversation on race and social injustice.
Concern over campus carry not universal
▶ TANNER HASSELL @thassell17
With the controversial campus carry legislation going into effect at the University next summer, many continue to voice their disapproval for the law.
Although last year's Board of Regents poll showed 82 percent of faculty and 70 percent of students do not support the law, there are individuals who advocate for campus carry.
Lisa Loewen, editor-in-chief of TK,a Topekabased business magazine and lecturer in the School of Journalism, supports the controversial measure, but with a catch.
"I am in favor of campus carry," she said. "I believe that as American citizens, we have a right to defend ourselves, and that should be anywhere that we go. I believe that should come with a caveat, however, that people shouldn't be allowed to carry without proper training."
Loewen said knowing how and when to use a firearm should be a requirement for anyone who wishes to carry on a college campus.
"People shouldn't be allowed to carry without adequate training on how to use a gun, situational training on when to use a gun, defensive type classes where it's reiterated that you only use a gun as an absolute last resort and that if you're not prepared to use a gun you should not carry one," she said.
Due to a Kansas law that went into effect in 2015, however, licenses are no longer required to carry a concealed weapon.
Loewen grew up in a household without firearms. However, after seeing shootings that have occurred around the U.S., she made the choice to get her concealed carry license.
"My father didn't have a reason to not have a gun in the house, but it was a different day and age and we didn't feel like we needed one," she said. "I
didn't really think too much about it until all of the shoots started to happen over the past few years, and it really made me stop and think what I would do in a situation like that. So two years ago I went and got my concealed carry license."
Unlike Loewen, a majority of university faculty and staff in Kansas oppose campus carry. Board of Regents polls from last year showed 70 percent of respondents were not in favor of the measure. An adjacent poll for students showed 55 percent of respondents from all universities in the state to be not in favor, with 42 percent citing safety issues.
Adam Steinhilber, who chairs the University chapter of College Republicans, said he doesn't expect much of a change in terms of safety.
"We really aren't too concerned about it, to be honest," he said. "We don't think it will have that large of an impact on campus outside of a few new security features, but we
don't really see any impact coming from it."
As opposed to the concerns of some that campus carry will result in an increase of violent incidents on campuses, College Republicans vice chair Sara Prendergast said she did not believe campus carry would result in violence on Kansas campuses.
"There are no security measures on campus right now that would prevent people from carrying a gun, and obviously it's still going to be illegal to pull out a gun for no good reason, so I don't really see how it increases the risk significantly. I don't see a whole bunch of students randomly going out and buying guns," she said.
Both Steinhibler and Prendergast agreed dorms and campus housing would not be a safe place for guns to be present.
Loewen said those who fear emotional gun fights and shootings on campuses as a result of campus carry don't give

"Students still wouldn't be allowed to carry until they are 21," she said. "By the time you're 21 you have matured quite a bit, and if you have gone through training and understand the ramifications, I really can't see a scenario where students are shooting faculty over grades or each other in disagreements."
Jennifer Jordan, director of career services at the University's business school, said sites like LinkedIn have helped students make virtual connections that can transfer into real-life job opportunities.
"LinkedIn has done a really outstanding job in providing resources for university students and making their website accessible," Jordan said.

In addition to searching through Jayhawk alumni, Jordan said that there are groups on LinkedIn that a student can utilize. An individual can join a group, post to the message board, initiate a discussion or do a member search that aligns with their career interests, Jordan said.
"I would encourage students to utilize groups. There are a number of KU affiliation groups that they might consider joining to expand

Last spring, the University placed 3,027 flags in the lawn of Watson Library in an attempt to raise awareness of sexual assault issues. This was part of the University's efforts in recent years to foreground issues of sexual violence.
What is mandatory reporting?
▶ CHANDLER BOESE
@Chandler_Boese
For many survivors of sexual assault, confiding in someone can offer emotional support. However, students at the University should know that there are certain confidants who are required to report those experiences to investigators.
Last year, the University had just over 10,000 employees. Nearly all of them are obligated to report any instances of sexual violence or discrimination that they find out about.
Mandatory reporting is part of the University's Title IX policies, which work to prevent and deal with instances of sexual discrimination and harassment. The Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access coordinates the reports of sexual assault and investigates them.
Kathy Rose-Mockry, the director of the Emily Taylor Center for Women and Gender Equity, said there are two kinds of reporting that employees can do if they know about an instance of sexual
assault or harassment.
Employees can report the incident without the individual's name, Rose-Mockry said, but only if certain conditions are met. Most of the time, employees will be obligated to report all of the details they know about the incident, including the names of those involved.
"It's not meant to be invasive, but it is meant to provide individuals with assistance and that's why the information is collected," Rose-Mockry said.

"It's not meant to be invasive."
Kathy Rose-Mockry Director of the Emily Taylor Center for Women and Gender Equity
Annie McBride, the center's assistant director, said mandatory reporting is about helping individual students and allowing the University to see patterns among incidents.
"If we have a student who comes forward perhaps from a particular living organization or student club and reports, for instance, that they are experiencing a lot of negative comments about their bodies or discriminatory comments about their gender," she said. "They may think they're the only person experiencing that, but when they report that via IOA. [the office] could look for patterns.
Jen Brockman, the director of the Sexual Assault and Prevention Education Center, said mandatory reporting is about making sure that survivors are getting assistance.
"If a student comes to a staff member for help, we want to make sure that the student is being connected with the right resources on campus," she said.
On an individual level, the IOA can help arrange interim measures for dealing with the situation, including changing a student's living arrangement or class schedule, McBride said. Of course, they can also conduct an investigation on the incidents and possibly pursue disciplinary action if an incident is confirmed.
Brockman said a reported incident doesn't mean it's out of the survivor's hands.
"The survivor is in control of the process all the way through," she said.
For students who want to get information about the procedures surrounding sexual discrimination and assault, there are a few employees who are exempt from the mandatory reporting policy. Rose-Mockry said, including CARE coordinator Merrill Evans, Counseling and Psychology employees, doctors, and members of the Ombuds Office.
But every other person employed by the University is a mandatory reporter, including faculty, staff and students, according to the University's online policy manual.
Anyone affiliated with the University can report incidents of sexual harassment or violence to the IOA at 785-864-6414 or sexualharassment@ku.edu.

SURGE, Union screen 'Trapped'

The University of Kansas
Miranda Anaga/KANSAN Carla Rivas-D'Amico, president of Students United for Reproductive and Gender Equality, welcomes the guests at the "Trapped" viewing.
► HAILEY DIXON
@_hailey_dixon
"Trapped," a documentary describing the issues and laws southern abortion clinics face, was shown Sept. 29 to an audience of about 30 in the Jayhawk Room of the Kansas Union.
Carla Rivas-D'Amico president of the Students United for Reproductive and Gender Equity, coordinated the event. The Alpha Kappa Chapter of Omega Phi Alpha also helped put on the event.
Rivas-D'Amico said the film was featured as part of the National United for Abortion Coverage Week of Action 2016. The week marks the 40th year of the Hyde Amendment, which was passed in 1976.
Following the ending of the film, Rivas-D'Amico and a panel of individuals answered questions from audience members.
"We are lucky to have some really incredible women that are experts and really on the front lines of the battle," Rivas-D'Amico said.
The documentary profiled various laws and abortion clinics in Texas, Mississippi, Alabama and other states in the South.
"The film focuses on the south, but it's still applicable because it focuses specifically on House Bill 2," Rivas-D'Amico said.
House Bill 2 was a Texas bill that required four separate visits for the abortion pill and mandated that all clinics that perform abortions (medical or surgical) to be ambulatory surgical centers (essentially miniature hospitals), according to Rivas-D'Amico. The bill also required all doctors to have admitting privileges at a hospital no more than 30 miles away. This bill was ruled unconstitutional on the grounds of imposing an undue burden for persons
seeking abortion. Students in attendance reacted positively to the film.
"During the movie, according to expectations, it was very moving, and it was depressing at points, and surprisingly optimistic at the end, but it's still a huge battle," Susannah Mitchell, a sophomore from Fairway, said. "After the movie, I felt more uplifted than I thought I would. But I know obviously that it's a huge fight and I feel much more moved to go out and take action."
Rivas-D'Amico said she hopes people feel more educated after viewing the film.
After the movie, I felt more uplifted than I thought I would."
Susannah Mitchell University sophomore
"I really hope that folks come out of this event understanding who it's affecting, who it's impacting, I want them to come away with the tools they need in order to fight these bans." Rivas-D'Amico said. "If we work together, if we vote, if we push the congressional act, then we can meet this happen. We can lift these bans that deny women abortion."
Alesha Doan, a political science professor at the University who has researched and written about reproductive policy, encouraged young people to get involved in state politics and vote to make a difference in these issues.
"Be active, stay loud, stay vocal, push back on these narratives of shame and regret," Doan said.

My thumbs hovered over the keyboard on my phone screen. They were twitching slightly. I wasn't quite sure how to respond to my mother's text: "Uncle Aziz died in air-strike today. Call your father."
I wasn't crying. And I wouldn't cry. I felt shocked and, quite honestly, a little numb. I think I had forgotten how intertwined my identity was with the Syrian Revolution. My family had been displaced, yes, but all were safe. Yet suddenly I had become personally tied to the war.
He wasn't my biological uncle, but he had been a best friend to my father for the past 30 years. Uncle Aziz had shown him the ropes and what it meant to live like an American when my father immigrated to the United States at a mere 18 years old.
Years later, he helped raise me — he taught me to love kebabs and helped teach me how to swim and made me try tennis when we both knew I would never make it far in the sport. He was a doctor and he was short and he had red, thinning hair. He wore thick glasses and smoked out of a pipe and I loved to sit near him when he did because I liked the way it smelled. He had a raspy voice that carried and he used to live in a light pink house before he moved his practice back to Syria, the place he considered home. He had all of his mail in the United States forwarded to our house so he could pick it up next time he came around to visit.
I called my father.
When he picked up, I waited a moment to speak because I didn't know how to console the man who had spent his entire life consoling me.
He told me he would be okay. And he is okay. But I know he probably still winces, one year later, each time he comes across an envelope addressed to Mohammed Aziz Baghal and sets it aside in a basket on his desk, knowing it will never get picked up.
It was easier, before, to only see the numerical side of war — to watch the death toll rise but never have to assign a name to a number.
Our politicians spit rhetoric regarding Syrian refugees, equating them to a plague. Do we let them in? Do we send them back? Will they hurt us? How many should we let in?
mother or child.
I understand the wariness that comes with letting those from a broken home into our oasis of political stability. But the war has become a mere talking point to touch on in the circus we've come to know as our presidential election. Distance and separation make it easy to forget that each tick in the death toll was a father, brother, sister,
When you think of the war, think of my parents, Hanna and Ayman, and the country they both left behind. Think of their families and think of the missile that destroyed my mother's childhood home. Think of Uncle Aziz and think beyond the numbers - each one is a story in itself.
This is to serve as a reminder of the hospitals running off of minimal electricity, of the phosphorous bombs being dropped in Aleppo and of the White Helmets sifting through rubble and searching for survivors in what is left of the city.
It's heavy stuff to think about, but it isn't just a numbers game. It's a game of life, and each airstrike, each explosion and each chemical bomb drop signifies someone losing that game.

Doerr: Anthem protests show complex history

CW: Racism, Violence
In 1919, William Little was making a trek back to his hometown of Blakely, Ga., after serving in the first World War. It was the same trek that countless other black veterans were making back to their homes in the Jim Crow-era South. Not much else is known about Little, but we do know that
he was lynched by a white mob for refusing to remove his military uniform.
Little's story and the stories of countless other veterans of color contribute to a complicated history surrounding race, the concept of patriotism and how these two concepts interact. We see these interactions most clearly during the recent wave of anthem protests on football fields across the country.
Three hours to the north of our campus lies the University of Nebraska at Lincoln and its powerhouse football program. There are many similarities between our two states and institutions; KU and UNL are both large, public universities that are predominantly
The players, Michael Rose-Ivey, Mohamed Barry and DaiShon Neal, received racial slurs and threats to be lynched from fans on social media. Pete Ricketts, the governor of Nebraska, invoked the deaths of veterans to paint their protest as disrespectful. Their status as athletes in a cherished program such as Nebraska's could not protect them from the backlash.

For the Nebraska football players, it's much more complicated. Either stand
and receive immediate backlash, or do nothing and still face systemic violence. Darned if you do and darned if you don't.
What Governor Ricketts fails to understand is that African-American veterans had unique experiences fighting abroad, serving in segregated units until the Korean War, for those rights to be given equally to all people within the United States. It is one of America's saddest ironies that African-American veterans often had to use their military training in order to defend their communities and families from white mob violence once they returned home.
When athletes choose to kneel, then, it does not
do justice to our history to view it as a demonstration of disloyalty. It is a protest to draw attention to a broken promise: the failure of America's institutions ensure equality and safety to African-American men and people of all marginalized identities, past and present.
In order to do better, we must be honest about our complicated history and how different notions of patriotism and race are informed by this same history.

Students enter virtual arena with eSports
Graduate student Deric Marr hosts a monthly meeting for his eSports organization, KU LoL.

When you think about sports, you probably think of physical activity. A heavy amount of college life is dominated by a sports-centric atmosphere that is carried from dorm to dorm, throughout every hall, and into every aspect of student lifestyle. But a new wave of competition is edging its way in. Replacing footballs and basketballs with mice and keyboards, what is known as "eSports" is very quickly finding a home in the hearts and minds of students across the nation, including the University.
ESports, or electronic sports, is centered around competitive gaming at various levels of competition. Kristian Sheu, president of the KU Gaming Community (KUGC), describes eSports as people playing video games at high levels, which he said KUGC is able to facilitate.
"We want to expose people to eSports by helping them get on or make teams, make road trips to go watch events like EVO or DreamHack, or be inspired to be a part of the whole community," Sheu said.
The largest eSport worldwide is the Multiplayer Online Battle Arena
And that whole community is vast. Around the nation, collegiate teams are already competing in weekly series against one another, with Jayhawk gamers right in the midst. Play in the college scene, much like the professional counterpart, is dominated by three games in particular: "League of Legends," "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive" and "Overwatch."
(MOBA) "League of Legends" developed by Riot Games. Commonly referred to as "LoL," it is the most played and most watched eSport in the world. The developers of the game have created a massive industry for its professional play and are now beginning to extend that success to the collegiate level with the "ULoL Campus Series," a league that university teams qualify to compete in, best described as the NCAA for "League of Legends." KU ULOL, headed by senior Kyle Larson and graduate student Deric Marr, hope to compete in the league's second year, even though the club is relatively new.
"The club is young. It was generated out of a group of people last year who got together for tournaments that Kyle and I hosted. We got official support from Riot Games last spring as their registered KU ULoL club, too late to compete, though," Marr said. "That being said we hope this year to send our best players to compete in the qualifiers and make it into the 2016-17 circuit for ULoL. This year the featured event we
are trying to coordinate is a combined local ULoL tournament featuring teams such as Washburn, Wichita State, Kansas State, KU and more."
With such growing interest in "League of Legends," universities are jumping on board with eSports. Larson said in the last two years the LOl developers have raised the legitimacy of their competition, and schools are buying in.
"In light of this increase in legitimacy, 22 schools have offered scholarships to high-level players to compete for them," Larson said. Wichita State has been holding conferences to increase involvement in the developing eSports scene."
Tespa, a network of college clubs across North America, is the larger organization that KUGC affiliates itself withs Sheu said. Being a Tespa school allows them to compete against Canadian universities, Kansas State and the University of Missouri, among others And with it comes a lot of opportunity and support.
"Think more like a coed fraternity, but owned by Blizzard Entertainment,
and still student run," Sheu said. "They support us with prize support and a platform to grow on, with a cornucopia of other chapters and outside help to coordinate events with, and team up with to tackle bigger things, like Varsity eSports, web streaming, community growth outside of KU Gaming."
We want tc
expose people to eSports by helping them ... be inspired to be a part of the whole community."
Kristian Sheu KUGC president
With the interest for and the support of eSports continuously growing, it looks like the future is bright.
"It's rising so fast because most of the [pro] players that you see now, they all came from our age group, so companies are putting money into it to make it grow for the sake
of pro eSports," Sheu said. "But also because the demand for it in college is growing as well, kids from the 90s want to play video games in college and eSports is the best way for some students to say my school is the best in the nation. Another reason is that some people want to be like the actual sports athletes on campus, but don't have that skill, but they have that skill in gaming, so it's just something that looks really favorable."
And that seems to be a consensus between group leaders. Larson said he believes as long as there is continued support from developers like Riot, Blizzard and Valve, the ceiling for eSports is massive.
"I see no doubt in eSports' potential to rise on its own pedestal as a full-on spectator sport on the same level as traditional sports. As an organizer for events on the KU campus I've been in contact with people with a passion for making League of Legends a legitimate spectator event," Larson said.

Freshmen attempt to break onto music scene
► MATTHEW HARVEY
@MattHVOICE
Andrea Ringenberg/KANSAN Freshmen Zarin Jerrins, also known as Zarin Michael (left), and Sydney Smith, also known as Sydney August (right), continue to raise their profiles in the music world with help from frequent collaborations with other up-and-coming artists.
With new faces constantly coming and going in the crowded music scene, it can be difficult to establish yourself as a standout artist. Two University freshmen — Zarin Micheal and Sydny August — are trying to become some of those new faces.
Micheal is an up-and-coming rapper, singer and songwriter from Kansas City, Mo. He not only raps, but also plays the piano and hopes to start his own record label, he said. However, Micheal is a relative newbie to the rap scene, as he's only been seriously pursuing a career for about a year and half.
"I had always done freestyles and stuff with my friends just for fun, it was their encouragement that opened me up to my potential," Micheal said. "I had done little YouTube videos and wrote a little for fun but I didn't plan on taking it to that next level."
Micheal said he has a very particular way in which he approaches writing each track.
"I start off with the hook and base my verses off of that. I try to tell stories, tell
the truth and capture different experiences," he said.
Micheal's influences include a choice group of artists both past and present, from Drake and Kanye West to Pink Floyd and Otis Redding.
"I like to draw different genres into my music and create something that people haven't heard before," Micheal said.
The rapper has a catalog of about nine songs, including his most recent single "I Might," a party ballad which gained over 32,000 SoundCloud plays in about two months, becoming his most popular record to date.
Micheal has participated in numerous collaboration shows and is looking forward to opening for Lil Uzi Vert in Kansas City, Mo. on
Micheal said his ability to jump right into the scene was not only due to his own ambition but also the help of his manager Jesse Brown. But Micheal plans on keeping his career in his own hands by not signing to a major label. He wants to start his own.
Nov. 2.
"I want it to be like the next Def Jam," Micheal said. "I want to help other artists get their music heard and give them some tips that I've learned."
Sydney August is another freshman pursuing a career in music while at the University. She began with music the same way many do: with piano lessons. She would later go on to learn guitar, which she often plays in her own music. August
also took vocal lessons in middle school where she got her start singing in school shows.
Though she showed interest in music at an early age, August said she didn't truly begin pursuing her career until just over a year ago. Early on, she chose not to confine herself to any specific genre.
emotions. August is a Chicago native and she said the city's influence on her artistry is undeniable.
"I had to find a way to express my feelings. Without that break-up, a lot of my songs wouldn't have happened," August said.
"I'm still finding my sound and I'm honestly open to doing whatever," August said.
"The Chicago music scene is so important," August said. "All of my producers and most of my collaborators are from home too."
August said her music is influenced just as much by her environment as her
She said she finds it difficult to adhere to any single genre because she finds her inspiration in a variety of genres, including R&B, country and acoustic rock. She said her muse is sometimes random thoughts that her mind stumbles over and sometimes her own experiences.
For example, her most popular song "Over," which has 20,000 views on Sound-Cloud, is less of a break-up song and more like a diss record to an ex-boyfriend.
August said she gets fueled by seeing artists like Chance the Rapper blow up but also by the efforts of other up-and-coming artists that she does much of her work with. Last weekend, she performed with other artists at a Girls Get Loud event in her hometown to raise money for Hillary Clinton's campaign.
"The Hillary event was a great experience," August said. "I hope I was able to inspire some of the other young girls that were there."
While in the city, August was also able to work on a video for her song "Dreamcatcher," which is scheduled to release soon.
August is currently working on her first EP and has not yet set a release date. For the five- to six-song-long project, she said she wants to create a theme that will make the songs tell a story.

KU undefeated through three conferences games

Forward Lois Heuchan dribbles the ball during Kansas' game against Oregon State last year at Rock Chalk Park.
SKYLAR ROLSTAD
@SkyRolSports
Kansas soccer grabbed two conference wins this weekend after scoring late in both games.
On Friday, junior forward Lois Heuchan powered Kansas to a 2-1 win over TCU as she scored two goals, the first since her freshman year. On Sunday, Kansas finished the weekend strong with a late game-winner from freshman Katie McClure for a 1-0 win over the Texas Longhorns.
"I thought we played really well in the first half, but TCU really took it to us in the second half," Kansas coach Mark Francis said in a KU Athletics release. "In the end, I think we were able to pull it out because of our grit and how we were able to fight and battle until the
end. I was very proud of the team today. "This is a good victory for us."
Two goals from Heuchan is one of the biggest surprises of the season. She was the difference in a close matchup in which Kansas took 10 shots to TCU's 13. Midfielder Jackie Georgoulis notched another assist in the game, her fourth on the season.
...we were able to fight and battle until the end...This was a good victory for us."
Georgoulis added her fifth on the season in Kansas' 1-0 win over Texas, which Kansas pulled through to win late.
Mark Francis Kansas coach
Freshman Katie McClure scored her fourth goal of the season in the 86th minute to give Kansas the win in a tight match against the Longhorns. Georgoulis sent a free kick into the box for McClure to finish from close range.
Though it's early, the Jayhawks making the NCAA tournament this season ooks much more possible than it did last season. The wins over the weekend plus a resume-building home win over 25th-ranked Texas Tech on Sept. 23 will surely help the team at the end of the season, when the NCAA Tournament selection comes around.
The schedule doesn't get any easier for the Jayhawks. Kansas returns to Rock Chalk Park Friday to face No. 5 West Virginia.

Notebook: Self a Tech N9ne fan, sophomores impress
Baxter Schanze/KANSAN
Sophomore guard Lagerald Vick goes up for a dunk during Late Night. He made several during the scrimmage.
► SKYLAR ROLSTAD
@SkyRolSports
The Kansas Jayhawks returned to the court for Late Night in Phog Saturday night, bringing along a number of newcomers who experienced Allen Fieldhouse for the first time.
Read the notes from 2016's installment of Late Night in the Phog.
Self says 2016 Late Night was the best one yet, is a Tech N9ne fan
Unlike last year's Late Night in the Phog, attendance wasn't hampered by the Kansas City Royals' trip to the World Series. Combined with the 3-on-3 tournament, a performance from Tech N9ne and the debut of Josh Jackson, one of the nation's top recruits, Kansas coach Bill Self said it was one of the best he's been a part of.
"I thought it was one of the best ones we've had," Self said. "It's hard to keep coming up with something new."
Self acknowledged the attention on freshman Josh Jackson and was impressed by the capacity attendance. He also enjoyed the performance from Kansas City rapper Tech N9ne.
Ever since Tech N9ne shared a short album of songs to commemorate the 2008 national championship with him, Self said, he's been a fan.
"I've been fans of theirs ever since they did that," Self said.
Bragg, Vick impress in 20-minute scrimmage
Senior guard Frank Mason III was likely the
best all-around player in Kansas' scrimmage with eight assists, but the "wow" factor was in abundance for sophomore forward Carlton Bragg Jr. and sophomore guard Lagerald Vick.
Bragg and Vick threw down dunks and both players made two three-pointers as Bragg went 8-of-12 for 18 points for the Crimson team and Vick tallied 12 for the Blue team.
"I feel good," Bragg said
about the upcoming season. "I'm just going to go out there with a lot of passion and just have fun.
"I've got a new role. I'm the same person as last year, just have to bring that energy on the court."
Opportunity to shine yet to come for Josh Jackson
Self acknowledged top recruit Josh Jackson's slow
start.
"Who could have predicted that Tucker Vang would make a basket in Allen Fieldhouse before Josh Jackson?" Self said to the media after the postgame press conference.
Vang is a walk-on Self added this offseason for a little more practice depth.
Jackson didn't make a bad impression by any means, going 4-of-7 with 8 points in the
20-minute scrimmage. While older players looked themselves, Jackson was understandably wideeyed during his first time on the floor in a full Allen Fieldhouse.
Best dancers among the newcomers: Jackson, Lightfoot, Maxwell
After the new players did their "Dancing with the Jayhawks" routine, Self remarked about Udoka Azubuike's particularly awkward dancing.
He then singled out Josh Jackson, Mitch Lightfoot and Evan Maxwell as the best dancers of the bunch.
These three players are all over the board in basketball recruiting rankings, but they're apparently in Self's top three.
Plenty of Jayhawks in the NBA
Last October, a release from KU Athletics reported a record 19 Jayhawks in the NBA. Now, with 2016 signees Perry Ellis, Wayne Selden Jr. and Cheick Diallo, there are 22.
The video reel showing highlights of current Jayhawks in the NBA was considerably longer than in past seasons.

Usually Late Night in the Phog is a chance to introduce new players on both the men's and women's team, but this year KU Athletics brought out new events as well.
And for that, it received praise from coach Bill Self.
"I thought it was one of the best ones we've had," Self said about this year's Late Night.
---
The night started with four Olympians who attended Kansas, highlighted by Kyle Clemons who came decorated with his gold medal from the 4x400 relay in Rio.
After that, the basketball festivities began, beginning with women's coach Brandon Schneider. Schneider
also introduced former player Tamecka Dixon, who spoke to the crowd.
With all the new events and faces at Late Night, there was one repeat performance.
With $10,000 on the line, director of basketball operations Brennan Bechard was chosen to attempt a half court shot. After barely missing his practice shot, Bechard nailed the second attempt, which sent Allen Fieldhouse into a frenzy.
"I was hoping my name wouldn't be called to be honest," Bechard said. "I'm glad it worked out."
After the women's scrimmage, the surprise guests for Late Night came out. Tech N9ne and Krizz Kaliko opened with the song "KCMO Anthem" and
finished appropriately with their original song, "Rock Chalk Jayhawk."
For the men's team, the annual dance-off was judged by the coaches in a segment called "Dancing with the Jayhawks." The winning team consisted of seniors Frank Mason III, Landen Lucas and Tyler Self.
As for the men's scrimmage, the Crimson and Blue teams tied at 48 points each. Mason and sophomore guard Lagerald Vick and led the Blue team with 12 points each, while sophomore forward Carlton Bragg Jr. dominated the game for the Crimson team with 18 points.
"I just got a new role," Bragg said of his emergence. "I'm the same person I was last year. I still bring
a lot of energy, I just have to bring it on the court as well."
For the men it was the debut of highly touted freshman Josh Jackson who finished with nine points. Mississippi State transfer Malik Newman impressed with 12 points while shooting 2-for-3 on three-point shots. Sophomore guard Lagerald Vick also scored 12 points.
After the game, Self remembered a few days ago that he asked his team who would lead the team in scoring. Mason was voted leading scorer, but the vote was split multiple ways.
"We could probably have six or seven guys who could lead us in scoring," Self said.
New-look Kansas team showcased at Late Night
▶ MATT HOFFMANN
@MattHoffmannUDK
Everything seems new in the Kansas women's basketball program: a new season, two new transfers and four extra games this offseason. Even the way the team scrimmages at Late Night is different. Yet, Late Night in the Phog seems familiar. The pep band, dancing, skits and cheerleaders greet the Kansas faithful every single year. As it has for the last 32 seasons, late night signals basketball season is near.
Redshirt sophomore guard McKenzie Calvert and redshirt junior guard Jessica Washington are the newcomers. This year, the team received four extra games during a European tour.
Unlike last year, the women played for 12 minutes, as opposed to the men's 20, and only played against the men's practice team. The women won the scrimmage 34-13.
For both Calvert and Washington, getting on the floor in front of the home fans was a relief.
"The crowd got us really hyped up, we've been waiting a long time to get out there," Washington said.
"Getting out there with those girls and not having to just watch was really fun," Calvert said.
Washington and Calvert played seven minutes each. Washington co-led the team in scoring with six points while Calvert had five. Senior guard Timeke O'Neal also scored six points.
While the team shot 58.3 percent from the field including 50 percent from three-point range. Schneider isn't taking anything from the scrimmage.
Schneider told fans in attendance that "this is about celebrating the best basketball fans in the country."
Schneider's discourse with fans also included some words likely directed at two top-15 recruits in attendance. A rarity as of late for the program.
"This is an exhibition to let the fan base get eyes on them," Schneider said. "T'll be a lot more concerned about practice on Tuesday."
"It's important that they can feel what basketball is at the University of Kansas," Schneider said.
For all the new-car smell surrounding the program
"Those nerves and jitters shake off whenever you start playing or dancing," she said.
"I enjoyed it the whole time," Washington said, "there was a lot going on but it was a lot of fun."
As far as artists go, senior forward Jada Brown picked Meek Mill, Calvert picked ASAP and Washington picked Young Thug according to Calvert.
Rapper Tech None delivered a live musical performance between the men's and women's scrimmages, at times quite literally shaking Allen Fieldhouse.
Brown also hosted a dancing with the Jayhawks skit in which three separate groups of men's basketball players performed.
some things never change, like players dancing at Late Night.
Schneider, however, is partial to the videos played over the jumbotron often including former Kansas greats.
"I really like the videos that honor past players," he said. "It's intelligent to connect the eras and how big basketball has been here for a long, long time."

Then an incoming freshman, Nazirah Mohd was excited to start at the University in the fall of 2014. She was coming from Malaysia and looking forward to studying in the United States and taking advantage of the scholarship she received during her last year of high school.
But a few days into the semester, and for weeks after, Mohd was overwhelmed by loneliness. She felt out of place.
"For almost a semester, I would go to school, come home, cry and repeat," she said. "I had a friend in Michigan State, who I called every day, crying. He was also from Malaysia. I didn't have any friends here. At the time, I didn't know what

New Title IX motion alleges KU misled former rower
CONNER MITCHELL
@connermitchell0
In a motion to include new information in her Title IX complaint, former University rower Daisy Tackett alleges the University misled her regarding disciplinary actions for the student who she said sexually assaulted her.
Filed in federal court Friday, the motion to amend the original complaint for a second time includes new information discovered after Sept. 9, 2016. The new information alleges the University was both unclear and deliberately misleading in communicating to Tackett the manner in which the
student agreed to be expelled.
According to the complaint, Tackett was notified in February that the Office for Institutional Opportunity and Access recommended the student be permanently expelled from the University. On March 18, the University informed Tackett that the student had been withdrawn from the University as of March 17.
In addition to the withdrawal from the University, a notation indicating nonacademic misconduct was placed on the student's transcript. In an email attached to the complaint, Dan Curry, Tackett's lawyer, asked Lance
Watson, director of student conduct and community standards, if the notation could be clear the student was expelled for sexual assault.
Watson said doing so would be "contrary to KU practice." He wrote that transcript notations are noted only as either academic or nonacademic misconduct, and he said that would be the case even if a conduct hearing had been held.
The complaint says media reports surfaced in September revealing the student received a different letter than Tackett received, which said he would "[be] allowed to withdraw in lieu of expulsion."
According to the Dear
Colleague Letter released by the Department of Education in April 2011, both parties in Title IX cases must be notified in writing about the outcome of the complaint, and it is recommended the written determination of the outcome be provided to the complainant and perpetrator at the same time.
Curry told the Kansas the University's actions demonstrate it was knowingly indifferent to guidelines outlined under Title IX.
"It shows that KU is deliberately indifferent to this process if you're willing to tell [Tackett and the student] two different things to avoid a hearing. I think that
In a statement, Erinn Barcomb-Peterson, director of news and media relations, said the University fulfilled its Title IX obligations to Tackett.
shows a complete indifference to the process," he said.
Curry said the motion to amend the complaint still has to be approved by the University. When Tackett first amended the complaint in July, the University did not oppose the addition of new information.
"As we have said since these cases were filed, we are confident the courts will agree that we've met our obligations to Ms. Tackett," Barcomb-Peterson said.
Should the University oppose the motion to amend the complaint, a judge will have to rule whether the new information will be included, Curry said.
"We felt it necessary to amend to include these new facts which have just come to light," Curry said. "We thought it would be appropriate to paint the whole picture of what was going on with those representations."
Curry said a similar motion to amend the complaint of Sarah McClure, a second former rower who was sexually assaulted by the same student, would be filed in the very near future.

The world of medicine and healthcare is ever-changing, and with rapidly evolving technology comes a need for specially designed facilities. The Institute for Health+Wellness Design at the University aims to address these needs, according to Frank Zilm, director of the newly-established program.
The Institute was officially launched by the School of Architecture, Design, and Planning on Sept. 30, according to a University news release.
"Health care design is probably one of the most complex architectural design problems that we face because we're dealing with patient needs,
Zilm, who is also an architect based out of Kansas City, Mo., said the new institute was established after eight years of developing a graduate program focused on the complex issues of health care facility design.
family needs, technical requirements and complex building issues," he said. "Based off that eight years of experience and some key partnerships with major national and local architecture firms, we moved with the dean's initiation into the development of the institute."
Zilm said the institute will address three issues: continuing to provide information and research to create a safe and high quality environment for patients and staff, growing the internship programs in which students in the program participate, and conducting research that will help health care practices.
The health care internship is one aspect that makes this program unique from others around the country, according to Zilm.
"We have a seven-month internship in health care architecture firms. Students take classes, do their internship, then come back and take a design studio on health care problems," he said. "After the design studio, the students receive a certificate in health care design."
"Health care itself is transforming very rapidly. It used to be when health care architects designed a hospital, it was a place where people were very sick, which is changing," Spreckelmeyer said. "Health care providers are now treating people who

are trying to maintain their health. It's moving from inpatient to outpatient essentially."
"Another thing is the technology is changing rapidly and affecting how people are being treated. In the past if you had surgery, you would be in the hospital for days, which is not necessarily the case anymore," he said.
Spreckelmeyer said a big issue for health care architects is the cost of planning and building these facilities, a problem he believes the institute can address using new technology.
"These environments
are very expensive, and health care providers are looking for more efficient ways to design these facilities. So as designers we have to create these environments effectively and efficiently," he said. "Using new technology, we're able to create full scale concepts of buildings in an efficient way. For example, with a technology like Google Glass you can design a building and actually take a virtual tour using the glasses."

To help international students acclimate, Olcese's department provides seminars and creative activities for students, staff and faculty. One new offering is called "Life in the U.S. Series," a set of short seminars to introduce students to American life and culture, as well as connect them to different resources on campus like counseling and other psychological services.
"The goal is to get students to be able to move, develop and live in the U.S. in a comfortable way." Olcese said.
Another series of workshops, starting this semester, is being offered to staff and academic departments. The workshops focus on helping them improve intercultural communication.
"We touch on language difference there," Olcese said. "But mostly, what we're trying to deal
with is helping people understand the complexity of the differences and how to help them navigate that without being frustrated or confused."
For the University's 900 Chinese students — the largest group of international students on campus - isolation can be less of an issue than for other students from overseas. Olcee said some Chinese students go through "culture avoidance," staying in their own community and what's familiar to them to such a degree that they avoid the chance to fully immerse into the new culture.
This situation prompted a group of Chinese students studying psychology to create International Peer Support, an organization that offers mental health support during the adjustment process to international students. They partnered with Headquarters Counseling Center, which provides professional counseling training to peer mentors.
The peers currently offer support in English, Chinese and Spanish. Hongyi Wang, who is the head of operations for the group, said he and the organization's president, Nanyi Deng, started the group to close a gap in mental health resources.
"We both realized that KU is not doing a really good job to help, specifically international students, about their mental health," Wang said. "We wanted to help them using their own language and their own culture."
The organization launched its services this semester. Although it aims to help all international students, Wang said that for now they are mainly focusing on the Chinese community and reducing the stigma among them surrounding mental health.
"[Chinese students] think that if I call you for help I may have a mental health issue, and
that's not true," Wang said. "You may be feeling homesick or stressed."
The group is currently trying to reach different student organizations to spread the word about International Peer Support and the services it offers.
For Mohd, now a junior studying petroleum engineering, the chance to help students who experienced what she went through prompted her to join the International Leadership Team, a group that helps students get involved during their first semester in school.
"I joined the team so I can help others, especially the new students," she said.
Getting students, especially international students, to feel comfortable is essential to keeping them enrolled at the University, Olcese said. But in general, those students have the fortitude to make it through.

Chancellor discusses goals for her last year at KU
SHEELEEN H. SMITH
CHANDLER BOESE @Chandler. Boese
Baxter Schanze/KANSAN Chancellor Bernadette Grav-Little discussed her plans for the University as she enters her final year.
With just under 10 months left to serve in the University's highest position, Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little sat down with the Kansan to discuss what she wants to accomplish in her final year.
"There are very important things... that need to be worked on everyday," she said. "And I'm committed to doing that for the full amount of the time that I'm here."
Retention
Baxter Schanze/KANSAN
Gray-Little said her biggest focus for her remaining time as chancellor is a renewed effort to increase retention across the University.
"We're looking at what are the things we need to do to ensure a larger percentage of students are successful on going from first to second year, then onto get a degree," she said. "We want to increase the percentage of our students over the traditional rate that we've had."
The recently-released enrollment numbers for fall 2016 show this semester's freshman class is one of the most diverse and academically advanced classes in University history.
Gray-Little said she hopes the makeup of
the class will help retention efforts, and said they have the potential to be more successful academically. Helping all students realize their academic potential should be a priority for any university, she said.
"I think when we admit students, there's some implicit communication that we think you can be successful here," she said. "And so, it's our responsibility to do all the things that are reasonable for them to be successful."
However, the chancellor did say the University has been struggling to provide some of the retention-focused services and programs in the last couple years, due to cuts in state funding.
State funding issues
"Whether it is trying to have programs for students to be more successful,trying to hire an adequate number of outstanding faculty to teach the students and do research all of those things are challenged more," she said.
While this is a serious issue for the University, Gray-Little said she's not very hopeful that it will get better, as Kansas has seen its actual revenue fail to meet revenue estimates for the past few months.
"There's something fundamentally or structurally wrong with the way we are looking at revenue and the rule that we attribute to taxes and that needs to be adjusted," she said. "That's not something that I can do, but it's certainly something that I can advocate with members of the legislature and I will continue to do that into the spring session."
Campus conversations on race and sexual assault
In the past few years of Gray-Little's tenure as chancellor, conversations of race have become more noteworthy, due to a number of protests and the efforts of student groups such as Rock Chalk Invisible Hawk.
discussed in the past several years, the chancellor said she plans to continue with the educational and preventative measures implemented last school year.
"I think that it is easily said, not easily done, with regard to multicultural issues, all of issues that have to do with the way that we respect each other and interact with one
Gray-Little said she hopes to continue implementing the recommendations of the Diversity and Inclusion Task Force, using the results of the ongoing KU Climate Survey.
"It's important, but it's something that concerns the community on a daily basis, so it's certainly something that's important in itself," she said. "But it's also important because it has practical consequences for how comfortable people feel here."
In regards to sexual assault, another issue that has been frequently
another," she said. "A lot of these have to do with continuing action and dialogue and it's not something that we're going to complete at one time."

Bertels: Live for yourself, not your resume
PLEASE CALL (212) 567-8900
▶ ELLEN BERTELS @ellenbertels
As I apply to law schools and internships, I have been thinking a lot about resumes.
Our professional world demands that each person get involved with activities and jobs that look good on paper. Whether these students are actively contributing to the work they do is a different matter altogether.
I would argue that it is a special breed of person — someone impervious to weariness and hunger — that can meaningfully contribute to three jobs,
And yet we persist in trying.
It's not as if this culture of overwork is uncommon among students. It appears in everyday interactions. We are impressive, not frightening, when we forget to eat for a few days. We tell tales of glory, not horror, when we sleep a cumulative four hours over the course of a week.
And all of this is, to us, par for the course.
What sort of person would dedicate themselves to such an objectively unhealthy
What do we gain from it? The only way that lifestyle makes sense is if we enjoy the work, and understand the value of it, more than we mind exhausting and starving ourselves.
lifestyle, unless they loved the work they were doing in the first place?
If this comes across as a "millennial" complaint, rest assured: I'm not saying people shouldn't do hard things, or that we should always choose comfort and ease over the rigors of academic and professional life.
I have had my fair share of late nights and early mornings; I understand the value of the grind. Rather than declaring a boycott of hard work, I aim to criticize the unhealthy culture that insists assumes, even - that students will work themselves to the bone doing work they do not enjoy and hardly engage with in order to prove ourselves as worthy, successful and employable.
If we are going to work ourselves to the bone, we should do it by focusing on work
that we contribute to thoughtfully and meaningfully - work that we care about, not for our resume, but for the benefit we gain from the experience. I see little value in contributing shallowly to a dozen activities just so you can add them to your resume and list them off in interviews.
The real value derives from investing more time and talent into the things that matter. Surely, extended periods of hard work on something you care about will pay off in tangible ways.
We also have to begin being honest with each other. This culture does not just exist; we contribute to and pass these expectations onto others by insisting that we are the busiest, have the most resume bullet points, sleep the least, eat the worst. By intentionally prioritizing the titles of our
positions, rather than the work that is done or the progress that is made in those positions, we do ourselves and our peers a great disservice.
in my time at the University, I am consistently the most impressed and inspired by the dedicated people I meet who contribute to friendships actively and engage thoughtfully and carefully in their work. I know I have so much work to do. If we want to follow their lead, we must begin by choosing quality of engagement over quantity, and by allowing our passion, rather than the desire to impress, to lead the way when we speak about ourselves and the work we do.

Foster: Voting third party a national gamble
PRESENTS
▶ KAITLYN FOSTER
@qreocity
The wave started when Secretary Hillary Clinton's delegate count overwhelmingly overtook that of Sen. Bernie Sanders, denying him the Oval Office. "Bernie or Bust" became the new slogan for impassioned Sanders supporters unwilling to help elect a Democrat they viewed as irredeemably corrupt instead of the Republican candidate bulldozing his way to the Republican National Convention.
When Sanders officially left the race, many of his supporters didn't
know where to flock. Similarly, many staunch Republicans were aghast at their official nominee. Where could they turn with their hopes and ideals - and their votes - now that their beloved candidates had bowed out? Hopefully, not to the third-party candidates with incredible gusto. In such a crucial election, that could shrink the margin of error for either major party candidate's victory.
Unfortunately, we see that exact scenario playing out before us, but it's not affecting the major party candidates equally. Support for Clinton among women and young voters has eroded, according to Bloomberg Politics. In a four-way race, Clinton's support drops by 10 percent among voters under 30, according to a New York Times/CBS poll. And third-party candidates can together rake in more than one-third of voters from the same group.
These statistics illustrate two things. First, younger voters are disillusioned with the politicians of major parties. They desire change and doubt that Clinton or Trump can make their wish a reality. Second, it appears younger voters are under the impression that voting for a candidate implies they completely approve of him or her.
I wholeheartedly agree that our political system needs to change, but I am also realistic about how translating that view into a vote can affect the election.
Sticking with your principles is admirable and has its place, but that place is not in an election so unbelievably close that we could elect a president whose ideas
about NATO and a certain Russian president could endanger national security, whose proposed tax cuts reflect Brownback-like trickle down economics, whose beliefs about global warming border on conspiratorial and whose conception of humanitarian aid includes busing migrants back to highly-impoverished countries and opening up jobs Americans don't want.
Sanders invigorated many young voters. He is an inspiring wellspring of political change. Being inspired by one's candidate is a luxury, though. It's something young voters seem to believe matters more since Obama received such enthusiastic support in 2008.
We know how third-party votes affected the election in 2000. Al Gore lost the presidency by 537 votes because
third-party candidate Ralph Nader enjoyed support from 60 percent of would-be Gore voters in Florida, according to a study by Dartmouth and UCLA researchers.
In 2012, young voters proved decisive in reelecting Obama.
In a previous column, I argued that young voters should make their voices heard in this election. However, showing up at the polls is not enough. We have to vote, especially in deeply-contested areas like Ohio and North Carolina.
This time,young voters cannot prioritize ideals over pragmatics, lest we become the demographic that causes a repeat of the 2000 election, instead of 2012.

n English class his senior year of high school, Dairi-onn Billberry looked on as his friends, Chris Childs and Maurice Taffe, talked about customized shoes they saw while scrolling through Instagram.
At that point, Billberry, now a junior at the University, didn't know what would come of the conversation.
"Dairionn just came into the conversation," said Childs, a junior at Wichita State University and fellow artist and customizer.
Now, those conversations have grown into Off Days Customs, a Kansas City-area shoe customization and restoration service, which Billberry is responsible for. But how he got there goes further back than that high school English class.
The friendship between Billberry and Childs goes as far back as the fourth grade. After the two met through mutual friends, they remained close as they both went off to the Sumner Academy of Arts & Sciences in Kansas City, Kan.
And then they had the same English class.
Before that day, Billberry had already started to use his artistic talent to customize T-shirts throughout his final year in high school. During that conversation, he said the focus was an opportunity to create a niche in the customization market.
"We had seen on Instagram someone selling customized shoes for like $400 to $500," Billberry said. "And we figured we could do the same thing, but probably charge cheaper and do a better job."
In the future, I see myself being one of the top contenders in this field."
Dairionn Billberry Junior
With that goal in mind and support from those close to him, Bilberry began what would become Off Days Customs through social media during the summer before coming to the University.
On a typical Tuesday or Thursday, Billberry attends class from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. A communications major with a minor in business, he
said he molds his schedule to give himself extra time to focus on studying, work, and the shoe customization requests he gets on a daily basis — of which he typically does about two to three a week, he said.
Shoe customization is a time-consuming effort. The drive back to Kansas City for his job at a car dealership on the weekends adds to that time consumption, he said.
"I know a lot more people that would like my work done," Billberry said. "And me going to my actual job is pushing this back and pushing due dates, so it's pushing me toward a direction I don't want to go."
This dilemma is more difficult considering his steady rise in popularity through his accounts on Instagram, currently at 3,600 followers on his main account.
Billberry said he has reached the point where he can consider doing shoe customization full-time, with education still in the picture.
"School comes first, that's always my main priority," he said.
With two years of shoe customization under his belt, Billberry has already done work for high-profile
names like former Kansas basketball players Tarik Black and Ben McLemore.
McLemore met Billberry at the Ambler Student Recreation Center. Intrigued by his work, the now-Sacramento King gave Billberry a pair of Timberlands and, with them, Billberry created a design that represents McLemore's home — St. Louis.
"That one's one of the shoes I put a lot of detail in," Billberry said.
This level of detail in each of his projects, Childs said, is a testament to Billberry's internal growth and, most importantly, dedication.
"With doing shoes and just art in general you have to be confident in yourself and who you are as a person," he said. "He loves the craft and loves what he does. That's what I've seen, just being more mature and growing through the years."
Last year, Billberry got the chance to work with Devlin Braswell, who he considers his biggest inspiration and influence.
At over 99,000 followers on Instagram, where he's known as @fbccbayarea, Devlin Braswell is one of the top shoe customizers in the market right now. Notable
works include a pair of Under Armour Curry 2's for Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton for Super Bowl 50.
The two collaborated in an effort to help the homeless that gave 20 lucky winners a pair of customized shoes.
The end result for Billberry was one of the projects in his career that he holds in the highest regard: Incredible Hulk-customized Nike Foamposites.
It was a challenge that pushed him, he said, but in the end was a rewarding experience. Billberry said he considers himself a student of the game and pushing his work ethic with a project like this and researching ways to improve is constantly on his mind.
"In the future, I see myself being one of the top contenders in this field," he said. "So I have to be a student of the game as anyone else would with their hobby. It pushes me."

Review: University Theatre starts season with 'Picnic'
@Sambiscuit
SAMANTHA SEXTON
University Theatre started its season with a bang after Friday night's opening performance of "Picnic," a William Inge original, directed by retired theater professor Jack Wright.
Nearly every seat was sold thanks to the worldrenowned playwright and the success of the play's earlier iterations across the country including in New York; and whether it be despite of or because of the hype, the student actors pulled off a fun and engaging production.
The story of "Picnic" is almost reminiscent of Seinfeld's "show about nothing" in that very little is truly resolved and the end just sort of...ends. Regardless, the quick wit and energy kept the audience either laughing or dead silent in anticipation.
When neighbors Helen Potts and Flo Owens, a mother of two, meet a strapping young man (who keeps his shirt off for a good portion of the play), trouble starts to boil. Flo's
With summer coming to a close and school and work approaching, the young and old begin to ask themselves what the next year will bring and if their lives in small-town Kansas are meaningful.
two daughters, Madge and Millie Owens, are forced to face their own shortcomings as they fight over the affections of the newcomer, Hal Carter.
"I am me," Hal says.
"But what is that?"
While the events of the story circle around sex, alcohol and dancing, that question surfaces enough to tease the audience into existential thought while still enjoying the shenanigans onstage.
"Picnic" is the combination of two of Inge's more popular one-acts: "Front Porch," focusing on women of a certain age and the lives they didn't get to lead and "Man in Boots," a story about Hal and a blossoming young romance, according to Wright.
"Picnic" is deserving of the Pulitzer Prize in Drama, "Wright said in his director's note. "Inge
captured the essence of young love with all of its promise."
The audience agreed Friday night, and the show ended to a standing ovation
Performances of "Picnic" will continue in the William

Lawrence Arts Center to hold its first Pottery Jam
ALEXA ELLIS
▶ SAMANTHA SEXTON
@Sambiscuit
Aaron Goldstein/KANSAN Kyla Strid, the center's director of residencies. Strid says the Pottery Jam will consist of attendees and a few well known ceramists.
The Lawrence Art Center will be hosting its first Pottery Jam on Oct.18 to celebrate the ever-changing dynamics and fluidity of ceramics, according to Kyla Strid, the center's director of residencies.
Strid said that she was inspired by Mark Shapiro, a well-known ceramist from Massachusetts, when he mentioned attending a similar event in his home state. Shapiro will be part of the Pottery Jam later this month, along with Erica Iman, founding member of KC Urban Potters, and studio potter Peter Pinnell.
"I said that we had to do one here and I think he didn't think I was serious," Strid said. "But I thought it was a fantastic idea and
could be a lot of fun."
"This is very new for us and I am so excited to see
Strid, a ceramist herself said the event would be the first interactive, audience-inclusive event at the center that focused on the art of ceramics.
what happens," Strid said. "Art demonstrations aren't typically so dynamic or inclusive and this will be a unique opportunity for the audience to get involved and learn about the process firsthand."
The pottery jam, thanks
to financial support from the University and Bracker's Good Earth Clay, will be free to the public and will include a bar and popcorn for the audience. Shapiro will even be on loan from the University as the jam falls within his time at
the University as a visiting artist.
"Working with Mike will be amazing," Strid said. "I'm looking forward to working with all the artists and feeding off of their work to make something incredible."
Strid and Shapiro will be joined by fellow ceramists, Iman and Pinnell. The four will be based in the lobby where they will trade stories and pass clay among themselves, adding and molding the artwork in a spontaneous collaboration of four unique styles.
"You never know what's going to happen," Shapiro said. "That's the wonderful thing about these sorts of demonstrations."
Shapiro said that the jam will be different from what the center normally hosts, in that it will "breathe life
into the stodginess of typical art demonstrations."
After the four artists have had their turn to mold the clay, audience members will be invited to the potters' wheels to make their own mark on the art. With an open bar in what he expects to be a relaxed setting, Shapiro said he can't predict the outcome.
"I've been to about ten of these kinds of demonstrations before," Shapiro said. "Each is as unpredictable and dynamic as the last."
The Lawrence Art Center's first Pottery Jam will be held in the lobby from 5:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. Oct. 18. The event is free to the public and all are welcome. For more information, visit the center's website at lawrenceartscenter.org.
"Deepwater Horizon" tells true story with heart
GUS HUNNINGHAKE
@gushunninghake
When done right, disaster films based on true events have a unique emotional resonance which usually comes from the characters involved. Often times, the way these people persevere through catastrophe is not appreciated or recognized by the general public. In "Deepwater Horizon," director Peter Berg and a strong ensemble cast attempt to right this wrong by reimagining one of the worst oil spills in history.
In 2010, an explosion on an oil rig off the Gulf of Mexico released thousands of gallons of petroleum into the surrounding water. "Deepwater Horizon," named after the larger-than-life rig, details the efforts of Mike Williams (Mark Wahlberg), "Mr. Jimmy" Harrell (Kurt Russell) and various other crew members to stop the petroleum leak and evacuate everyone to safety on a nearby freighter.
The cast does a fine job of portraying the real life men and women affected by this tragedy. Wahlberg and Russell both turn in well-realized performances as veteran Transocean employees who know an oil rig like the backs of their
hands. In his own way, Wahlberg perfectly portrays Williams as a normal family man trying to live his life the best he can. As a whole, the crew's heroics never feel heavy-handed or contrived, which is a common mistake true story films make when there isn't enough interesting content. Props to the writers and cast for being able to, for the most part, keep the film grounded in what actually happened.
in the end, "Deepwater Horizon" does exactly what it needs to. It tells a story of the perseverance of everyday men and women through a terrible disaster that is handled with emotional complexity and weight."
Also worth noting are Gina Rodriguez and Dylan O'Brien's performances as crew members Andrea Fleytas and Caleb Holloway, respectively. Though they don't have as much
time to develop as characters, their importance does not go overlooked. Rodriguez and O'Brien do a great job of keeping the people that they portray grounded.
Instead of jumping right into the action, Berg uses the film's first act to develop his characters, making them feel like any other person. This makes their fate even more impactful. Berg also does a fine job of amping up the tension before the actual explosion happens by cutting to shots of the pipe as the pressure inside it grows. Once the explosion happens, the action overwhelms the screen and does not let up until the credits roll. Just like he did in "Lone Survivor," Berg successfully directs his characters through huge set pieces with grace, which allows the film to flow seamlessly from start to finish.
In the end, "Deepwater Horizon" does exactly what it needs to. It tells a story of the perseverance of everyday men and women through a terrible disaster that is handled with emotional complexity and
weight. The politics and finger pointing are subtle enough to keep heavy handedness to a minimum. There is enough action to grip those not too interested in human moments. And, most importantly, it
As far as negatives go, the film does follow the run-of-the-mill formula that most true story movies do. It doesn't break any new ground from a storytelling standpoint, but this isn't a big deal. These types of movies do not need to follow a groundbreaking formula; they need to tell a story that has an emotional impact on its viewers. And on that level, the film delivers.
is a worthy and emotional tribute to the people who lost their lives from this disaster on April 10, 2010.

Saint Motel to perform Oct. 11 at The Granada
▶ OMAR SANCHEZ
@OhMySanchez
Los Angeles-based alternative pop band Saint Motel, best known for breakthrough EP "My Type," will perform at The Granada Oct. 11.
The concert will be presented by Ones To Watch and 96.5 The Buzz. Saint Motel frontman A/J Jackson said it will be an experience that is set to bring an "emotional thrill ride" and an "adventure with intrigue and romance."

Bands JR JR and Weathers will be the night's opening acts. The concert will be in anticipation of the release of Saint Motel's new full-length album "saintmotelevision," coming out Oct.21.
The 10-track album will be picking up where "My Type" left off, Jackson said. It will be a "nice journey into some different musical elements from the band."

Saint Motel will also be performing songs from its upcoming album such as "You Can
"We can play with the term 'retrofuturism," Jackson said. "We're mixing and combining things to hopefully come up with something novel and unique."

This isn't something new for Saint Motel. Its music videos, which are self-directed, have consistently used technology to add hints of nostalgia that pervade through into their music. Examples include 2009's "Butch" and 2012's "Benny Goodman."
The band has recently performed the single on "The Late Late Show with James Corden."

"We're not making music in the moment, we're hopefully making music that can exist forever," Jackson said. "We try to make music that you just like and are passionate about, and hopefully in it there's a sound that people will recognize as Saint Motel."
The music video, which features a 360-degree viewing experience compatible with virtual reality headsets, is one of the technological innovations Saint Motel is using to advance its music.
City, Mo. and passionate Saint Motel fan, seconds that notion. For her, there is a "high-energy" feeling in its music that even promotes a camaraderie within the concert-goers.
"I've made plans to go with about 20 different people, so the socialization aspect is something I'm really pumped about," she said. "I also really like Saint Motel because their music is pretty accessible to anyone who's into indie rock, or anything you'd hear on 96.5 The Buzz, and it's really lively and just easy to dance and sing along to."
Doors will open at 7 p.m. Tickets are available through The Granada's website and more information can be found on the event's Facebook page.

Concussions force Shelley-Smith into early retirement from football

► BRIAN MINI
@brianminimun
On Tuesday, head coach David Beaty started his weekly press conference as he often does; with an injury update. This week's update felt much different, however, as Beaty announced that senior offensive lineman Jordan Shelley-Smith is'retiring from football after a dealing with concussions.
Beaty said that it was a very emotional day for him last week when Shelley-Smith announced to the team that he would be retiring.
Shelley-Smith has dealt with concussions in the past, missing games last season due to his injuries.
Shelley-Smith started nine games last year and started against Memphis this season, after which Beaty noted. "[Shelley-Smith] played really well in that game."
Beaty mentioned that the senior will still be around the team and that "he's still a very big part of what we do."
When asked about the rest of the offensive line's health, Beaty noted that the linemen that are playing aren't "playing healthy," but that this is common across the country.
On the topic of concussions, Beaty made clear how serious he considered concussions.
"It's not just Saturday," he said. "It's their lives that they are dealing with."
"Us being right there, really, on a couple different occasions, I think that's something that can drive them, as well."

Kansas will be looking for more success against TCU with sophomore quarterback Ryan Willis making his first start of the season.
Willis has shared snaps with redshirt junior quarterback Montell Cozart through the first four games. Cozart has struggled in his last two games, throwing three interceptions and completing only 53.6 percent of his passes.
In four games this season Willis has completed 31-of-
53 passes for 374 yards, with three touchdowns and an interception.
He took over for Cozart in the game against Texas Tech, as he started in the second half, and completed 14 of his 26 passes, including a touchdown to redshirt freshman wide receiver Chase Ha
["Willis'] efficiency has been a little bit better than [Cozart's] the last couple of weeks,] Beaty said. "And really, when he's in there as of late, he's done some things that we haven't seen him do up until that point."
receiver Chase Harrell.
Willis will be in for a challenge against a TCU defense that ranks third in the Big 12 in yards allowed. The unit is allowing only 258.2 passing yards per game, and 414.6 total yards per game.
"Obviously every year you think about defense, when
you think about TCU," Beaty said. "[TCU coach Gary Patterson] has really done a nice job with those guys over there again this year. I think they got a couple defensive linemen that are really talented. Those defensive ends are really good."
Being able to effectively run the ball will also be an area of focus for the Jayhawks. The team currently ranks last in the Big 12 in rush offense, averaging only 91 yards per game, 26.5 less than Texas Tech, which is ninth in the Big 12.

Beaty said he isn't concerned with the lack of run production at this point for one reason.
"Because I know we're

"It's going to be a chore, there's no doubt about it," Beaty said. "But for us, we are preparing and we expect to win the game."

After statement, KU hopes to take action
The volleyball team said its pregame "moment of reflection" has received plenty of postive feedback.

The reaction to Kansas volleyball's reflection on social issues before four-set win over Baylor Saturday at Horejsi Family Athletic Center was, for the most part, exactly what the earn hoped.
Andrew Rosenthal/KANSAN Prior to the national anthem, Kansas volleyball players and coaches united and knelt to take a moment of reflection on social injustice.
"I think it went just exactly how we planned," junior middle blocker Kayla Headle said. "We knew we'd have a lot of people on board about it and some people probably wouldn't understand, but from what coach [Ray Bechard] said, a lot of people were supporting is and only positive things were coming out of it."
The decision to take anee and lock arms before he national anthem in reflection before the game against Baylor took time to materialize. The display from he volleyball team came just few weeks after Terence Crutcher, an unarmed Tulsa, Okla., man was shot and dilled by police.
Cheadle said the team went to Bechard before a Sept. 21 game against Oklahoma, where the team originally
planned its "moment of reflection," as Bechard and the team's statement called it. After Bechard, the players, athletic director Sheahon Zenger and Kansas associate athletics director Jim Marchiony collaborated on the statement, the team emerged from the locker room to a packed Horejsi Family Athletic Center.
I think it went just exactly how we planned,
Kayla Cheadle Junior middle blocker
After the team sprung itself into the attention of the community, action is the next step for Bechard and Kansas.
work in local schools.
Marchiony, who Cheadle and Bechard identified as a supporter of their ideas, asked the team to write down some of their thoughts on what the team should do going forward. Bechard's plan is to work with local groups like Big Brothers Big Sisters. He also emphasized
"As a coach, I think for me it's setting a good example for how we treat each other on our staff, how our players treat each other." Bechard said. "And that might be the best thing I can do is set an example."
The influence from the volleyball team may spread into different parts of Kansas athletics. Cheadle told the Topeka Capital-Journal she talked about the moment of reflection with her sister Chayla, a guard for the women's basketball team. Cheadle also spoke with athletes from other sports about the statement her team made.
"As athletes we have a platform," Cheadle said. "And people look up to us and we have a voice in a lot of things. So I feel like if you can take a stand and you try to make a change and you can use that platform you can go from there."
Bechard reiterated his team's purpose for uniting to observe the social issues that were addressed.
"We thought our team represented kind of a melting pot of what the country looks
like, we're very diverse," Bechard said. "And we can
still treat each other with a lot of respect and compassion.
And that's what we're kind of asking everybody to do."

> SKYLAR ROLSTAD @SkyRolSports
In the 2016 season so far, Kansas soccer has played almost exactly the opposite as last season.
Kansas claimed its second and third wins in the Big 12 over TCU and Texas last weekend. Combine those wins with a 2-1 home win over Texas Tech the week before, and the 3-0 Jayhawks have defeated three of the teams they lost to during conference play last season.
The team rolled through the first three wins, but its toughest opponent of the season arrives at Rock Chalk Park on Friday: No. 3 West Virginia.
"It's just another opportunity for us to play against a very good team, a ranked team, as we've done many times this year," Kansas coach Mark Francis said. "I know the girls are very excited that we're coming back home, so I know we'll want to take advantage of coming back to Rock Chalk Park."
Kansas is close to a national ranking. The team shot up to 25 in the RPI rankings after last weekend, but found themselves outside the NSCAA Coaches' top
Although 2015 College Cup quarterfinalist West Virginia is the highest-ranked team Kansas has faced so far, it's nothing the team hasn't already seen.
Francis referred to performances in a 2-0 away loss to then-No.7 USC and an away draw to No.25 Pepperdine when he said his team was ready for the matchup.
25, despite eight votes to be ranked. These eight votes put Kansas at No.32 in the rankings.
"We played Colorado, played Marquette, played Pitt, Pepperdine and Southern (California)," Francis said. "Those are tough games, you know. So it definitely prepared us for coming into the conference."
Last year, Kansas faced West Virginia in Morgantown, W. Va., and lost 6-0. Francis said at the time the crushing defeat left the team
with little to assess properly.
This time around, Francis said the teams are fairly even, so huge changes to his team aren't necessary. The team, however, did make large adjustments for how USC played earlier in the season, but noted the similarities in formation between Kansas and West Virginia.
"I don't think there's anything different we need to do." Francis said. "Any time you're playing a good team like that it's exciting for that challenge. I know the girls are up for it."

After two close calls, KU aims to upset TCU
WESLEY DOTSON @WesleyDee23
In each of the last two meetings between Kansas (1-3, 0-1 Big 12) and TCU (3-2, 1-1 Big 12), games have been tight, despite the Horned Frogs being ranked in the top 15 and the Jayhawks being at the bottom of the Big 12 in both meetings.
Ultimately, the Jayhawks lost both of those games. But the Jayhawks are aiming to effectively play the role of the underdog once more. The Jayhawks are 29-point Vegas underdogs against Horned Frogs at Memorial Stadium on Saturday.
Still, Kansas coach David Beaty won't allow the partial success Kansas has found against TCU in the past to dictate the flow of this weekend's game.
"The thing our team understands and knows, it doesn't matter what the past held." Beaty said during his weekly press
However, Beaty does think the recent close games can give TCU more motivation going into the game, especially being such significant underdogs.

Campus concealed carry policy submitted to Regents
▶ CHANDLER BOESE @Chandler_Boese
On Monday, the office of Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little submitted a draft of the University's proposed policy on allowing concealed weapons on campus to the Kansas Board of Regents.
The draft amends the University's policies on allowing weapons on campus to fit with the Personal and Family Protection Act, which was amended in 2013 to allow concealed weapons on public property. The University's exemption from the amendments expires on July 1, 2017.
The policy submitted by the University would allow anyone over the age of 21 to carry a gun on University property unless the building is
equipped with adequate security measures (defined by the law as metal detectors and security guards) or a system for restricted access.
The draft policy did not specify which buildings would get security measures. Joe Monaco, the University's director of strategic communications, said further implementation of the policy would be discussed after the November review.
Residents of on-campus housing facilities would be allowed to store
In August, members of the Lawrence committee said they were looking at restricted access to research facilities temporary security measures for sporting events and communications to members of the University community.
weapons in their room under the policy if they provide secure storage for the weapon and their hall does not have adequate security measures.
Those who would like to carry a concealed weapon would be required to carry it with the safety on, in a holster that covers the entire weapon. If the weapon is carried in a purse or backpack, that purse or backpack should be in the owner's hands at all times, according to the policy.
In her statement, the chancellor said she knew that creating a policy for the University that would still prioritize safety would be difficult.
"But thanks to the committees and so many of you, I believe we've created the best possible policy for KU," she said.
KU aims to help students maintain mental health
I
"Pause for Pups" is one of the ways the University hopes to improve student mental health.
► RYAN MILLER
@Ryanm_reporter
The University has increased efforts over the past few years to help students maintain their mental health at the University and stay in school.
Some of these measures include hiring more mental health specialists and using massage and animal therapy programs, as well as stress-busting breaks.
"That's a problem for us," McKee said of students leaving the University. "Because we want to retain and graduate as many students as possible."
Last year Counseling and Psychological Services provided service to 1,782 University students, or eight percent of the student population. CAPS Outreach Coordinator Christian Vargas said.
Counselors and mental health experts said untreated mental health problems can affect students' academic performance and cause them to leave the University, opting instead for community college or online classes to help boost their GPA, according to
Jenny McKee, a health educator at Watkins Memorial Health Center.
That number was a five percent increase from the previous year, which is on the high end

for Universities like Kansas, Vargas said.
THE PROBLEM
A 2013 study found that the more depressed a student was, the lower their GPA dropped as a result, and the higher probability that student had of dropping out of their university.
The study also found that the dropout rate is 25 percent among students who have less than a 3.0 GPA and have a mental health problem.
"It absolutely is a huge issue on college campuses," McKee said. "Stress and anxiety have been the top two academic impediments."
During the last 12 months, about 60 percent of students on campus reported feeling overwhelming anxiety and 92 percent said they experienced "average" to "tremendous" stress, according to a recent study conducted for the University by the American College Health Association.
BRINGING IN MORE SPECIALISTS
The most recent student survey by CAPS said more than 60 percent of their clients reported being more likely to stay at the University as a result of receiving service at CAPS, Vargas said.
"Retention is increased by focusing on mental health, which increases academic performance and matriculation [being enrolled at University]," Vargas said.
Mental health issues aren't new on campus, McKee said, but there's less stigma surrounding mental health and an increase in students seeking help.
Last year, finance committee members approved a $9 increase for CAPS in student fees which was to fund four new positions to specialize with counseling students with diverse backgrounds.
Student Senate has also been involved in the efforts to improve mental health on campus.
"It kind of seemed like it was very necessary," Gabby Naylor, student body vice president, said. "The wait times at CAPS were a little longer, so not only would this help decrease that wait time for you to get in for an appointment, but also if you wanted to speak to a specific counselor you could do that."
So far, CAPS has hired a psychologist and a clinical social worker. The search is still underway to hire one more of each position, Vargas said.
The new hires bring the staff count to 13 licensed professionals seven psychologists, five clinical social workers
and one psychiatrist with a therapist to student ratio of one for every 2,200 students.
ADDITIONAL RESOURCES
KANSAN.COM/NEWS | THURSDAY, OCT.13, 2016
About four to eight percent of students that visit CAPS require care they are unable to provide, Vargas said. When this happens,the student is referred to specialized services. Some of these services include the Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center, Alcoholics Anonymous, primary substance abuse treatment and more.
They also make referrals for students to academic advising, International Student Services, Academic Achievement and Access Center and some others, Vargas said.
CAPS hopes the new positions will help them see more students. In addition to hiring more staff, they are also increasing their outreach to students and staff at the University.
Part of the increase in visibility has come from the Mental Health First Aid in Higher Education training for the Lawrence campus this year for staff, faculty and students, Vargas said. All resident assistants and complex directors have been through the training, as well as the Office of Study Abroad, officers and dispatchers from the
KU Public Safety Office and staff from Student Affairs, Vargas said.
Plans are also underway to train staff from the Division of Undergraduate Studies and academic advisors, Vargas said. CAPS also offers training across the University.
"Stress and anxiety have been the top two academic impediments."
Jenny McKee Watkins health educator
Mental Health First Aid training teaches individuals how to "recognize the symptoms of emerging mental illnesses or to assist young adults in a mental health crisis [that] can help lessen the severity and impact of mental illnesses," Vargas said.
The first aid is also about helping people on a basic human level, McKee said.
"It empowers people to understand that a lot of the tools you would use in a situation where someone needs you, you already possess. It's about being empathetic," McKee said. "It's about offering what you have as a person to that other person."
Watkins offers various
services to help students with stress, anxiety and other mental health problems. McKee said they have a nurse practitioner that works with prescriptions for students with mental health issues, and that Watkins doctors and nurse practitioners have conversations with students about their mental health.
They also provide other help, including stress-busting study breaks in the libraries. a massage therapy program, appointments with health educators and animal therapy programs.
"Research shows within the first five minutes of interacting with a therapy dog, people's production of cortisol decreases, their heart rate decreases, their blood pressure decreases," McKee said. "That's tangible on how your stress level can be decreased in just five minutes."
Naylor said one of the keys to improving mental health and retention on campus is to continue raising mental health awareness.
"We're talking about it more," Naylor said. "And I think that anxiety and depression are two of the biggest things that impact students, especially college students, and I think that in our busy college lives it's something we need to be paying attention to."
Common book explores identity and race
▶ CHANDLER BOESE
@Chandler_Boese
Between national events and local activism, issues surrounding race never seem far away from the University's campus. But this year's common book is bringing discussion of these issues into the classroom even more than before.
Every freshman entering the University this year is required to read "Between the World and Me" by Ta-Nehisi Coates. The book is being incorporated into many classes geared toward freshmen, such as ENGL 101 or UNIV 101.
The common book isn't a new program, but this year's book is particularly notable because of the issues it talks about. Coates, an African-American man, wrote the book as a letter to his son. In it, he discusses issues of violence against African-Americans in the U.S. and relates it to the objectification of the black body in American culture.
For Meagen Youngdahl, a graduate student teaching a section of ENGL 101, bringing this book into the classroom has been a challenging and rewarding experience. She dedicated the first quarter of her class this semester to slowly and deliberately discussing "Between the World and Me."
"We went very slowly through the book, sort of section by section, had a lot of conversations about it, a lot of discussions," she said. "I would say that
it was one of the most useful teaching tools I've ever had in the classroom regarding issues surrounding race."
Youngdahl said discussing these issues with freshmen, students who are just entering a brandnew environment, is vitally important, but can also be very challenging. She said she had a number of students who expressed some discomfort with the subject material.

issues that are going on, whether it's in the common book or the issues playing out day-to-day in the news, that are playing out on campus, to not talk about them is another of ... reinforcing a universal narrative that doesn't fit," she said. "By not talking about it, you're pretending it doesn't exist, because silence is a form of communication."
Kepple has been encouraging her classes to explore issues of identity and race for the past several years. She said she's not trying to tell students what to think about race, but simply to provide them with a perspective they may not often hear.
"It's not my job to teach my opinions to them, but to allow students to understand the broad range of opinions and critically evaluate what it means and how it impacts the clients and how it impacts themselves in doing the types of work they will do in social work," she said.
Kepple said facilitating these conversations isn't easy and sometimes leads to difficult moments in the classroom.
"When you facilitate these conversations, it means that a broad range of ideas might come out and there's a lot of pain underlying experiences people have and also a lot of misunderstandings people might have. And all of that has to be managed in the classroom," she said.

Changes proposed for housing costs, dining plans
▶ CHANDLER BOESE
@Chandler_Boese
n-campus housing residents could see anywhere from a
2. 2 to a 16 percent increase in their housing costs next school year, as well as a reformulated dining plan.
Student Housing is currently putting together its proposal for housing and dining plans for the 2017- 18 school year. The Student Housing Advisory Board has passed most of the proposal, though there are a few rates that have to be determined through a special process before the proposal goes before the Board of Regents for approval.
For most residents, the increase is around 3 percent, or between $100 and $300 per year, according to a rates sheet provided by Diana Robertson, the director of Student Housing. Robertson said most of the increase is due to utilities and personnel costs.
"A general rule of thumb is that our cost of operating goes up about three percent each year, but we try to watch it pretty closely to see what areas are going to affect us as we go on," she said. "As an auxiliary service, all we're seeking to do is cover all the operating costs plus any debt load and be able to put enough money aside to do upkeep on the buildings."
Student Housing began the process of establishing these rates last spring by talking to their utility providers about what kinds of costs they might see. Robertson
said predicting costs a year and a half into the future is not an easy job.
In fact, the newer facilities of Self, Oswald and McCarthy Halls are seeing some adjustment this year because the costs and issues of fairness are becoming more clear, Robertson said. Certain types of rooms are going to see a larger increase with the proposed rates.
We felt like a lot of students are getting caught in the middle of campus and can't either get back to the north side,the south side,or the west side to get something to eat for lunch."
Mark Petrino Director of dining services
She said size differentials in rooms in Oswald, Self and McCarthy Halls caused Student Housing to re-evaluate some of the rates to better fit with the new room styles the halls offer.
"We proposed this one-time adjustment because we just didn't get it right the first time and the students at [the Association of United Residence Halls] were really understanding about that," she said.
Part of the plan that will also be presented to the Regents is a new set of dining plans for students to select
Some of the proposed dining plans now include meals for parents or guardians and retail passes, according to a document provided by Mark Petrino, director of Dining Services.
from.
The retail passes make it possible for students with the unlimited meal plan to visit one of KU Dining's retail locations, like The Underground or The Market, and get a "meal equivalent" once a day.
"We felt like a lot of students are getting caught in the middle of campus and can't either get back to the north side, the south side or the west side to get something to eat for lunch," he said. "So, as an added convenience, if they're stuck near The Underground or Wescoe, they can just go downstairs and get a combo meal for lunch."
The plans are also a little simplified from previous years, Petrino said. There is only one unlimited meal plan, a new 14-meal weekly plan, a relatively unchanged 10-meal weekly plan and a reworked off-campus 50meal semester plan.
All of the meal plans for the residence halls (the unlimited, 14-week and 10-week plans) would also include two parent/guardian meals a month, Petrino said.
"We feel that we do such a good job in the residence halls and parents and guardians, in a lot of cases, are paying for the meal plans, and we want to showcase to them what we're serving to students," he said. "We think it's

Adamson: Midterm blues affect everyone
MICHAEL BROWN
▶ LAUREN ADAMSON
@LeAdamson
it's that time of year, when you would be excited for fall if it weren't for the overwhelming anxiety of taking three exams in one week. That time when your seasonal allergies have turned into a cold, which seems like it's becoming a sinus infection. That time when you must finally accept that syllabus week is actually over and we are
indeed halfway through the semester, because your teachers just slammed you with more work than there are hours in the day.
Of course, there are things I know I have to do. There is the looming possibility of not getting them done on time, which would lead to missed points and bombing tests and potentially failing the class.
During this stressful period, it's easy to give up instead of forging through. Personally, I turn to memes and Netflix as a welcome break from my overbearing work load. I often feel no motivation to return from the deep hole of mindless snacking and refreshing of my Instagram feed.
But, somehow, this anxiety only makes me want
to do my work less. After all, the thought of failing after trying is much more scary than the relative comfort of being able to shrug and say, "Well, I didn't reach my potential on purpose. I didn't do well. Not because I couldn't, but because I didn't try."
So far, my work has always gotten done. I've managed to keep my head above water during the stressful weeks leading up to fall break. But have I done my best work? Can I say I am proud of how I have used the incredible privilege I have to be able to pursue a university degree?
No. Frankly, I cannot.
While I know that this message will not resonate with many of my focused friends and classmates, I
know there are many others facing the same problem I am.
But, somehow,
this anxiety only makes me want to do my work less."
The fear of never living up to your own standards, the debilitating anxiety around the idea that giving your best will not be enough and the self-loathing that comes from feeling unprepared for situations that you were perfectly capable of preparing for.
Just know that if you are
feeling this way, you are not alone. I am with you, and according to the American Psychological Association, about one-third of college students feel this way too.
So, if you have a serious case of the midterm blues like I do, my advice is to live by all the clichés. Exercise more, sleep more, drink more water. Talk to someone if you need to. Prioritize yourself and your mental health. Know that, like all things, this too shall pass.

Sanchez: Chancellor search needs student input
▶ SANDRA SANCHEZ
@sssanchez26
Through my job at the Honors Program, I frequently share my own college experiences with eager high-schoolers and their parents. Over the last few years, I have become quite adept at balancing my answers with levity and stressing the importance of time management. While describing the various concerns over coursework, student life and everything in between, I try to provide a realistic yet encouraging perspective on college life. There are issues, however, that I find pressing and yet do not know how to explain to high-schoolers.
On Sept. 22, the chancellor announced she would be stepping down, and my mind immediately turned to the question of her replacement. Within a university as large as ours, administration holds a key place in determining the experiences of students, and are thus a constant source of interest and concern for me. However, it seems the further I become involved, the deeper the layers seem and the more confused I become. While I find it important to stress to high-schoolers to be aware of the nature of institutions, I am at a loss to explain how.
I have found myself aware of some administrative matters. Last year, I was on the University's Tuition Advisory Committee, I was the voter outreach chair for the elections commission and this year I am part of the Dean's Advisory Board for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. But if you were not in my position or weren't similarly involved, how would
How
Amid all the other student concerns, caring about the mysterious business in Strong Hall does not appear to be the most pressing for students. Voter turnout for the last Student Senate election was higher than in the past two years at a measly 19.25 percent of student population. If students are not even interested in the most direct form of governance, why would they care about a more indirect position such as the chancellor's?
you even know to be aware or question the complexities of University administration?
even know to be aware or question the complexities of University administration? "
Perhaps it is not for lack of trying. Earlier in the week,
communications director for the Board of Regents, Breeze Richardson, justified statements on the likely closed search for the next chancellor by saying, "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."
It is my belief that universities are first and foremost established for students. But when those ruling the University are inaccessible, by the nature of bureaucracy or otherwise, how can they truly understand and represent student concerns?
But is the chancellor's position not representative of the University public and thus not subject to the scrutiny and input from the public?
It is also alarming how little encouragement is given to students to understand the University's system of government. The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences has added a flow chart to their
website, but there is no description of duties, initiatives or even title definitions specific to each assistant dean, associate dean, administrative associate, executive associate, administrative associate, and on and on.
It is worrisome that the future search for the head of the University will likely be shut down to students. This should be the time where, instead of reflecting the current state of University bureaucracy, administration should take the step toward true representation of student voices and strive for inclusion. After all, inclusion is one of the "Four Priorities that will shape our Year" advertised on the provost's homepage.

Albert Bloch's "Frieze for a Music Room." (above) is now being housed in the Spencer Museum of Art. Bloch was a professor emeritus and chair of the art department at the University.
Bloch painting finds permanent home at KU
▶ OMAR SANCHEZ
@OhMySanchez
Early 20th century painter and late University professor Albert Bloch's "Frieze for a Music Room," a seminal work of the expressionism movement group "The Blue Rider," has now found a permanent home in the 20/21 gallery of the Spencer Museum of Art.
The piece, now one of three Bloch paintings at the museum, has been on long-term loan by the Albert Bloch Foundation since 1983. Established by Bloch's widower Anna Bloch, the foundation has recently agreed to sell the painting to the museum.
"We gathered consensus from former students, our curators here and
The large-scale painting, created by the professor emeritus and former chair of the University's art department, features groups of clowns gathered in groups, celebrating music and movement through the colors and forms detailed through the painting.
elsewhere, our advisory board and everyone said absolutely. Even if we have to buy it we need to have it," said Susan Earle, curator of European and American art at the museum.
David Cateforis, professor and chair of the history of art department, said this division through the use of the trees brings about the idea of composition — both in visual art and in music.
"You can think of the group of clowns like a group
of sounds in a composition, and maybe the trees dividing them as segments between movements," he said.
Along those lines, Earle said much of the painting's meaning derives from lyricism, and the way the "movement of humans in nature interacts with its environment" and synthesizes the major forms of art like music, art and dance.
The clowns depicted in the painting are inspired by the Italian Harlequin and Pierrot groups of the Commedia dell'arte style of theater popularized in the 16th century. With these figures, Bloch was able to experiment with connecting sight with sound and further underlying themes, Earle said.
"It can be seen as a sort of a stand-in for the artist," she said. "Perhaps the way we all take on different disguises. How we perform ourselves."
You can think of the group of clowns like a group of sounds in a composition."

Professor & Chair of the
history of art department
The inspiration for the piece is most likely the result of a commission Bloch had once done during his 12-year stay in Munich, Germany starting in 1909. Cateforis said during this
period, the piece would have most likely been hung up on a long wall overseeing a room where music is played, hence the name of the painting.
Given the paintings' intentions, it is possible that Bloch was interested in exploring the idea of how the visual form can relate to musical elements, Cateforis said.
Now the piece that Earle considers "an important and pivotal work in his career" will be hanging adjacent to a wall featuring two of Bloch's more conventional paintings "Winter" and "Summer."
The Lawrence community will be able to see the new official addition to the museum starting Oct. 15, during Spencer's reopening weekend festivities.
Review: 'Rocky Horror' an interactive must-see
COLLEGE DE SPORTS - FRANCE - 1972 - CINEMA - THEATRE - FILM
The cast of "The Rocky Horror Show" watches Frank n' Furter, played by Michael Dicker.
With the Halloween spirit becoming evermore present as the end of October approaches, "The Rocky Horror Show" at Theatre Lawrence comes at a perfect time for fans of both science-fiction and musicals.
► ALYSSA HOEDL
@AHoedl
Theatre Lawrence's production of "The Rocky Horror Show" was produced
"The Rocky Horror Show" was written by Richard O'Brien in the early 1970s as a tribute to the many science fiction and horror movies made from the 1940s to the 1970s. The musical starts with a newlyengaged couple going to visit their old teacher. When their car breaks down, they find refuge in a home they find out belongs to a mad scientist.
The musical was later adapted into the 1975 movie "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," which has a major cult following.
fantastically. They stuck true to the original look of the show while also incorporating two screens for video effects.
The show started out with amazing vocals from Dinesha LaShay (Magenta) introducing the show along with backup singers Mario Bonilla, Sarah Lockwood, Francisco Camargo and Natalie Jensen as "phantom." The phantoms were some of the best entertainment in the show because of their ability to sing ridiculous lyrics while keeping a dark and blank face.
Spencer Gochis (Brad) and Emy Blake (Janet) played loving newlyweds and their naivete did not seem too fake or planned out. It was just the right amount of cheesiness to make it enjoyable for the audience.
Michael Dieker as Frank n' Furter was one of the best parts of the show. His vocals were phenomenal and he never came off as if
he was trying to make cross-dressing humorous. He was strong and confident in his actions and it showed in his performance.
Jake Leet (Riff Raff) was also a standout in the cast, never breaking character and singing fantastic leads in "Time Warp."
The video screens were crucial in telling the audience fun things to do to the actors and showing videos that are talked about during the show.
College students especially should go and see this show. It is full of raunchy and humorous moments and it is a fun show to be in the audience for. The songs are catchy and the audience will find themselves humming along and maybe even singing the songs as they leave the theater.
"The Rocky Horror Show" runs this Friday and Saturday with shows at 7 p.m. and 11 p.m. both nights.

Throughout the night, Valles was busy making the night as welcoming as possible with a photo
booth and crafts table for the students to enjoy. The museum was dotted with such activities from origami to adult face painting, all of which had long lines.
It used to be really dull in here ... It feels so fresh and clean and welcoming."

With free food and a blaring DJ, the students who were exploring the museums" "40,000 works of art from 4,000 years of global history," as a pamphlet called them, felt more like they were shimmying across a lively dance hall than contemplating Renaissance perspective.
"We're having so much fun here," said Emma Davison, a senior also on the museum's student advisory board. "We've been working really hard to
get the museum to a place where students actually want to be here rather than being forced to by their professors."
Valles said her favorite part of the renovation was seeing the large windows filter natural light in from the lobby.
"It used to be really dull in here," Valles said. "Now you can see everything. It feels so fresh and clean and welcoming."
Davison agreed, complementing the landscaping and expressing
her excitement that, in her final year, the museum became something on campus to be proud of.
"It used to get called a lot of appealing names and was really just unattractive," Davison said. "The museum is something to be proud of now and somewhere students can actually come and feel at home."
Despite the severe weather and heavy downpour, students were braving the weather to attend the event, crowding around the eclectic
collection of modern and ancient art that was combined in a unique and engaging way not typically seen the fine art museums.
The Spencer Museum of Art will be hosting its grand public reopening weekend starting on Saturday, Oct. 15. Admission to the museum is always free, but donations are welcome and anyone can become a member to support the arts on campus. For more information, please visit www.spencerartku.edu.

More pressure on Willis ahead of Baylor matchup
BRIAN MINI
BRIAN MINI @brianminimum
After a close loss to TCU at home, it won't get any easier for Kansas football. Kansas will travel to Waco, Texas this weekend to take on the No. 11 Baylor Bears.
KANSAS 13
Sophomore quarterback Ryan Willis receives a snap during the third quarter of the Oct. 8 game against TCU.
Past problems with Kansas have usually been due to a lack of size, talent and speed among other things, but this year it seems that the focus has shifted to the mental aspect of the game.
Kansas' defense will be looking to replicate the success the team had against TCU on Saturday. The defense only allowed 24 points, despite sophomore quarterback Ryan Willis' early turnover problems.
During coach David Beaty's Tuesday press conference, Beaty said that Willis' three interceptions were "absolutely on [Willis]" and noted that the second-year quarterback's problems stemmed from procedural issues.
"One of the big things that he really continues to
have to work on is separating procedure from how you control what they're doing," Beaty said. "You're like, okay, now I'm in ace flip, I've got this, got this motion, got that motion, and then by the time, oh, you looked up and now I've got to snap the ball."
Ashley Hocking/KANSAN
Despite that difficulty, Beaty praised Willis' ability to make plays, specifically citing his pass to sophomore wide receiver Steven Sims Jr. on the last drive.
Offense aside, Kansas' main strength this season has been its defensive play and that won't change against Baylor. While Kansas turned the ball over four times, the defense created four of its own turnovers.
Defensive coordinator Clint Bowen's management of the defensive unit's depth is a major part of the success in limiting opposing offenses.
"Don't get caught up in the depth chart," he said. "You'll either be above the line or you're below the line. Your only goal is to get above the line and if you're
above the line, we'll put you in the game."
One such example of the successful depth management is senior linebacker Cameron Rosser's emergence against TCU. Rosser, like many walk-ons, hadn't garnered much attention
until the game against TCU,
where he had three sacks
and four tackles-for-loss.
"I'm growing in confidence every game," Rosser said. "It was a matchup thing too. Coach Bowen put me in good positions to make plays."
The senior also emphasized the need to play tough against Baylor and "just go in confident as a team and play the same way" they did against TCU.
Kansas' defensive toughness will need to come into play against a Baylor team
that ranks 20th in the country in total offense and 13th in rushing.
If Rosser and the rest of Bowen's defense can stay as focused as they were against TCU, Kansas could hold another offensive powerhouse to a respectable score.
Big 12 Weekly Rankings
BU
▶ WESLEY DOTSON
@WesleyDee23
WV
a. Baylor (Record: 5-0, 2-0 Big 12)
The Bears found themselves in a closer game than expected against Iowa State on Oct. 1. The team needed a 17-point fourth quarter effort to rally past the Cyclones, 45-42. Still, Baylor remains the best team in the Big 12, and its rushing attack remains spectacular.
2. West Virginia (Record:
4-0, 1- Big 12)
TCU
West Virginia survived Kansas State's strong rush defense and escaped with a one-point home victory on Oct. 1. Next up for this third-ranked defense is a tough road test against quarterback Patrick Mahomes II and Texas Tech.
3. TCU (Record: 4-2, 2-1 Big 12)
Make that three years in a row the Horned Frogs have just sneaked past the Jayhawks. After its bye week, TCU will have a tough test against West Virginia.
OSU
4. Oklahoma State (Record: 4, 2-1 Big 12)
The Cowboys are riding high after back-to-back wins against Big 12 foes Texas and Iowa State. The team will have a chance to secure a third-straight Big 12 victory when it travels to Kansas on Oct. 22.
OU
5. Oklahoma (Record: 3-2,
    2-o Big 12)
C
The Sooners have finally stopped the bleeding, winning their last two games, and a lot of it has to do with their revamped offense. Quarterback Baker Mayfield has the second best pass efficiency (174) in the Big 12, behind only Patrick Mahomes II.
6. Kansas State (Record:
3-2, 1-1 Big 12)
The Wildcats' defense proved why it's the best in the Big 12 when it held the high-scoring Texas Tech Red Raiders to 38 points on Saturday, dropping Tech's points per game to 46.5. Kansas State quarterback Jesse Ertz has been a decent game manager, and wide receiver and kick return specialist Byron Pringle has been a welcome addition to the team this season.
7. Texas Tech (Record:
3-2, 1-1 Big 12)
T
The duo of quarterback Patrick Mahomes II and wide receiver Jonathan Giles has been the best in the Big 12 this season, but they were non-existent in the loss to Kansas State. Mahomes led Texas Tech to only ten points in the second half, and Giles finished with four catches with 49 yards. This high-octane offense will be looking to get back on track and hand West Virginia its first loss on Saturday.
TEXAS
8. Texas (Record: 2-3, 0-2 Big 12)
Just over a month ago the Longhorns upset the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, and many thought they were back to national prominence. Now, Texas is on a threegame losing streak, and it appears coach Charlie Strong is once again on the hot seat. The defense, which has been one of the worst in the nation in terms of passing efficiency defense, will need to play better against Iowa State. This will essentially be a must-win game for Strong.
KU
9. Kansas (Record: 1-4,
0-2 Big 12)
Another heart-breaking loss to TCU has Kansas fans wondering if the team will ever defeat the Horned Frogs. Still, one positive note from the game: the team is steadily improving. The defense has made major strides, ranking second in the Big 12 in rushing defense and eighth in passing defense. As for the offense, well, that is still a work in progress with Ryan Willis at the helm.
STATE
10. Iowa State (Record: 1-5, 0-3 Big 12)
The Cyclones have actually played better football, they just haven't been able to finish games. They took a 42-28 lead into the fourth quarter against Baylor on Oct.1, only to lose. Iowa State also took a 31-21 lead into the fourth quarter against Oklahoma State on Saturday, which eventually just led to another loss. The offensive line has also been brutal. Iowa State quarterback Joel Lanning has been sacked seven times in the last two games.

FOOTBALL:
Kansas fell just short against TCU on Saturday, in a 24-23 loss. Senior kicker Matthew Wyman's 54-yard game-winning field goal didn't have the distance, ending Kansas' chances at a major upset at Memorial Stadium. It was Kansas' defense which stole the show, creating four turnovers and putting the Jayhawks in position to win.
SOCCER:
Kansas played to a 1-1 draw on Sunday against Oklahoma State. Kansas conceded a goal early in the first half, as Big 12-leading scorer Courtney Dike scored in the fifth minute. Freshman Katie McClure scored at the start of the second half for Kansas, but the Jayhawks couldn't score again despite out-shooting Oklahoma State in the second half.
Two days before, on Friday, Kansas soccer lost to No. 3 West Virginia, 1-0. Kansas couldn't recover from a West Virginia goal in the 38th minute. Still, the one-goal loss felt like a victory of sorts after the game. In Kansas' last game against West Virginia, the Jayhawks lost 6-0.

VOLLEYBALL:
No. 6 Kansas swept Texas Tech to advance to 4-1 in Big 12 play. The volleyball team was playing with academic counselor Scott "Scooter" Ward on their minds, after he was sent to the hospital with cardiac issues. Madison Rigdon tied a Big 12 record with six aces in one set. The team then remained at No. 6 in the latest AVCA poll on Monday.

Now cancer-free, Carla Arnick watches her son's success

@seanzie_3
Every day, without fail senior linebacker Courtney Arnick FaceTimed or called his mom, Carla.
It was the best way for Courtney to see his mom while he was going to school in Lawrence and she was in Dallas, going through one of the toughest times in her life.
They talked about how Courtney was doing in-school and stayed up to date on each other's lives. But it was the football talk that became healing for the two of them during Carla's battle with breast cancer.
On Oct. 8, Carla stood on the 50-yard line of Kivisto Field at Memorial Stadium for the coin toss. Carla wore a pink bandana on her head. Courtney wore a pink wristband, to represent the first game during Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Kansas lost to TCU 24-23, but for Courtney, getting to play in front of her with both of them healthy was important for them.
"It was very special, it kind of took me for a loop because it's a college game
on ESPN and emotional," Courtney said. "I know she was happy and it made her day."
Carla is now cancer-free, which made Saturday an emotional day for her and Courtney. It was a rare occasion where the mother and son were able to celebrate a victory in their battle off the football field together.
When Courtney was younger, Carla coached Courtney and his brother. She's always tried to stay involved in his football career.
That moment, with his mother in the stands, translated into Courtney's play on the field. In just his second start of the season, Courtney led the team with nine tackles.
"He really had a sense of motivation out there, not like he didn't in other games, but you could tell something was different," senior cornerback Brandon Stewart said. "I think it paid off. We wanted to play for him and for his family."
In February 2015, Carla went to the doctor to get a bump she felt in her breast checked out. When the
news came back that she had breast cancer, Courtney was distraught but didn't ever lose his positive mindset.
"It was kind of a rough situation being that it was my mom. You don't ever want to see your mom going through any struggle," Courtney said. "In my head, I know I just have to deal with it and be there for her rather than be down about it. If I was down about it, she wouldn't have anybody to support her."
Carla had to begin her chemotherapy treatment shortly after she had the lump surgically removed. While the situation was dire and stressful for Carla and her son, she focused and kept her priorities in her children and their education.
"She handled it as nothing was coming of it and everything was normal," Courtney said. "She still was talking to me about football wanting to know what was going on as if nothing happened and everything is fine."
Despite the struggles last year, health problems
are nothing new to Courtney or his mother. Before Carla was diagnosed with cancer, Courtney struggled with heart problems. When he first arrived at Kansas in 2012, he was told he needed surgery. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to play football.
Only after Courtney's surgery was successful and he returned to football did his mother begin to get sick. Courtney wanted to leave school and be with his mother. Carla, though, didn't want for things to change.
"Ive always told him his education in school means more to me than anything," Carla said. "That would make me feel better if he stayed in school and made sure he graduated on time."
Education has always been Courtney's number one priority at Kansas, and he has a couple of academic honors including Big 12 commissioner's honor roll in his freshman year. This was instilled by his mother, who didn't have the same opportunity at an education that he had.
When Carla was in
school, she ended up being just nine credit hours short of graduating. The heavy toll of being a single mother with two children proved to be too much and she had to drop out of school. This is a fate she never wanted for Courtney, and he used it to not focus on her sickness.
"The way I look at it, problems are always going to appear in life and it's just certain situations that you gotta deal with when they approach you and it depends how you look at it," Courtney said. "She was big on education and all she wanted me to do was get my degree and have fun playing ball. I used that as my motivation."
After the game, Courtney left the locker room doors leading outside Memorial Stadium and was awaited by his mother. Carla held out her arms and walked toward a sluggish Courtney. The two embraced for a hug, and even after a loss, a smile came across Courtney's face. For that moment, the two were happy and healthy, together.

Entering the 2016 Sunflower Showdown, No. 6 Kansas (16-2,5-1) and Kansas State (14-5,3-3) were expected to battle in a dramatic, closely-contested duel between two of the top teams in the Big 12. But for the Wildcats, the match did not play out as expected.
The Jayhawks swept the Wildcats in three sets, by scores of 25-15, 25-20 and 25-23. With K-State entering the match fourth in the Big 12, Kansas coach Ray
"That's a good team. That's a very,very good team," Bechard said. "Obviously,we were pretty motivated to play tonight,and that showed."
Bechard believes the intrastate rivalry was the fuel that led his team to such a strong performance.
Despite K-State's success thus far, Kansas was able to control the pace of the game throughout. In the first set, the Jayhawks established an early 5-1 lead after four consecutive blocks from the trio of senior Tayler Soucie, junior Kelsy Payne and
freshman Jada Burse. The team entered the match sixth in the Big 12 in blocks, so the stretch was a bit unexpected, but was certainly appreciated by Bechard.
"When you block for points like that, that can really get everything about your team and the game going," Bechard said. "That was a really great way to start it."
In the second set, things were a little closer. The teams' attacks were staggered, as they traded short runs and back-and-forth points. The difference was
Kansas' ability to push and close the set out on a 7-3 run, effectively putting K-State on the ropes facing defeat.
However, the Wildcats did not give in. The third set was the closest of all, as every time the Jayhawks would take a lead, the Wildcats would claw back in. But after going down 6-5 early, Kansas reclaimed the lead and didn't look back, leading for the rest of the match. A narrow two-point margin was enough for the Jayhawks to seal a victory.
Going hand-in-hand
with the strong showing up front, the story for the Jayhawks in this game was defense. Going into the game, Kansas ranked No.1 in the Big 12 in opponent hitting percentage. Conversely, K-State was ranked No.2 in hitting percentage. In the end, defense came out on top, as the Wildcats were held to hitting just .190.
The well-oiled defensive machine freed up room for the Jayhawks' offensive attack. Junior outside hitter Madison Rigdon said that defense comes from team chemistry.
"Everybody's on the same page," Rigdon said. "We're getting those blocks, and really, really good touches to help the defense."
Kansas continues its recent dominance of the Sunflower Showdown, extending its run to 8-1 in its favor. The win moves them to 16-2 overall, and 5-1 in the Big 12.
The team has a quick turnaround before its next match, as it will travel to Fort Worth, Texas, on Saturday to take on TCU, which currently sits in fifth in the Big 12 with a 3-3 conference record.

The ballroom of the Kansas Union was filled with dancing, music and festivities Saturday evening as students celebrated Indian culture at Garba.
Over 100 individuals took part in the event, dressed in colorful clothing and dancing to traditional Indian music. It was a coordinated effort
between the Association of Indian Students and the South Asian Student Association.
Garba is a dance form performed during the Hindu festival Navratri, according to Puja Shah, co-president of SASA. Navratri means "nine nights" and it symbolizes the victory of positivity, truth and goodness over evil, according to Shah.

The event started off with performers dancing for the crowd and before Sri Gayatri, AIS executive officer, taught the steps to the rest of the room.
After onlookers learned the steps, they soon started to join in. Dancers moved in pairs, each person holding a dandiya stick and tapping their partners in time to the music, before switching partners.

Regents aim to keep grads in KS
Paige Hillebert, a business administration graduate from Shawnee, knew long before she graduated last May that she wanted to move to New York.
She searched for jobs early in her last semester, but despite applying to more than 20 places, had no offers. But she wanted to make the move so badly, she packed up in July and left Kansas. After a few weeks in New York, she found a job as an office administrator at an ad agency.
Hillebert is among the roughly 40 percent of University graduates who leave Kansas and Missouri for their first job, according to the University Career Center.
Some state officials feel the state should be
doing more to keep them at home.
"I had spent my entire life in Kansas, and I was ready to experience something new and see what else is out there for me," Hillebert said.
"I think we can put the blame in a lot of places," Blake Flanders, Board of Regents President and CEO, said during a board retreat in August. "I think it's something we can work together on. I would say it's all of our responsibility to make our state the best that we can."
2014-15 data from the University Career Center Destination Survey
Kansas graduates are a large source of new professionals for companies in the state. With students leaving after college, Flanders and others worry there will not be enough degree-holding individuals to fill positions, said Breeze Richardson, Board of Regents communication director.
In order to retain more graduates, the Board of Regents is encouraging programs that connect the higher education systems with the economic needs in Kansas. They are currently working on a program for the University.
Another program, the Innovation Campus at
Wichita State University, allows students to do real work for companies while still taking classes. The goal is to build relationships between students and employers and show students what opportunities are available to them upon graduation.
The top states for University students looking to relocate for work are Colorado, Texas, Illinois, California and New York, according to a 2015 Career Center survey. Additionally, about 30 percent of graduates who choose to further their education go out of state
as well.
"We want students to know that there are many opportunities and ways to grow professionally here as well," Richardson said.
The trend in students leaving the state has not changed in the past few years.
"It really depends on the student for why they want to leave, but for certain markets, you should go where the business is," said Wendy Shoemaker, the senior associate director for the University Career Center.

ponents to campus carry,
a stance they maintain as
July draws closer.
Levin said her biggest concern about campus carry is the possibility for fear to hinder intellectual discussions and free communication of ideas.
"What's mostly likely to happen would be faculty and students self-censoring and not saying things because they fear someone may become violent," she said. "That will limit the possibility for intellectual growth and exploration, which are at the heart of what a university is supposed to be."
For Levin, an emotional moment in a classroom potentially turning violent is a fear based on experience.
"A number of years ago, I was teaching a class on 19th century Russian political thinking, a topic that shouldn't be terribly controversial, you would think,' she said. "A student had a meltdown because I called a 19th century political thinker, whom he admired, an armchair revolutionary. If that can happen in a class that most people would not find controversial, you can imagine how classes that actually discuss hot button issues could generate strong feelings."
Lang also cited fears
for the nature of a learning environment with the danger of firearms present.
"An armed campus is antithetical to a learning environment," he said. "In terms of students and faculty being willing to tackle the big issues like race, class, religion and sexuality, my fear is it will have a chilling effect on the kinds of topics that people are willing to teach or discuss in class."
I tear this will make it difficult to attract students and faculty, which in the long run will degrade the quality of this institution."
I fear
Clarence Lang Professor of African American Studies
Lang said campus carry is a concern for all members of the University community, with situations such as accidental shootings, suicide, sexual assault and domestic violence to consider.
"Guns being on campus bring a number of issues to mind, particularly suicide. We know that the number of suicides have gone up in the last 10 years," he said. "We've certainly had many conversations about sexual assault and
intimate violence, and how guns make situations of this nature even worse for victims, particularly women."
Lang said campus carry will greatly affect how safe religious and ethnic groups feel at the university.
"Already there are a number of folks that don't feel safe in community spaces," Lang said. "Students of color, religious groups and members of the LGBTQ community have raised concerns about whether this campus will be a safe space. So adding firearms to the equation certainly will not make that situation any better."
Levin said keeping campus safe with campus carry in place is not viable with the funding issues universities already face, and regulating the ability on campus is impossible due to the loose concealed carry law in the state.
"I think having a security perimeter around the entire campus is really what would keep us safe, but it's not cost effective to do that," she said. "The state concealed carry law basically prevents the university from regulating who can carry as well."
Lang said there is no easy solution to the issue of guns on campus,but he fears the long-term effects it could have on the University.
Senate committees pass first step of Union renovation fee
KANSAN.COM/NEWS | MONDAY,OCT.17,2016
At Wednesday's Student Rights Committee a bill was passed which could give the student body input on a potential fee increase beginning in 2019.
This week, the entire Senate body will vote on whether increasing student fees by $50 for renovations to the Kansas Union will be on the ballot during Student Senate elections in April.

If the fee is passed, it
Gabby Naylor, student body vice president, presented the bill to Student Rights Committee members and said Senate has known about the potential fee increase since last year.
["The referendum] is an official order for Student Senate to direct the elections commission to add a referendum question to next year's spring ballot," Naylor said. "The question would be for a union referendum. Last year, for those of you that aren't aware, we had fee review, and in fee review, the union came to us and they were asking for a renovation fee increase."
will add an additional $50 to required campus fees students pay each semester from fiscal year 2020 until fiscal year 2050.
"Next year in the spring election, when people are voting for coalitions at the end of it, it'll be yes, no, or abstaining for a vote to increase the student fee $50 for the new union," Naylor said.
Chance Maginness, a junior/senior CLAS senator who co-authored the bill, explained to committee members that the fee will not be charged to students until the Union renovation begins in 2019 because the University needs time to prepare.
"The way we've historically done referendums, and when it comes to planning something like this, we have to give the University enough time to plan for a fee increase and to plan for something like this," Maginness said. "The fee will go into effect the fall of 2019."
The referendum passed in Rights and the University Affairs Committees. Full Senate will meet Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. in Alderson Auditorium.

Human trafficking reports down in KS
▶ ELLE CLOUSE
@File Clouse
According to the National Human Trafficking Resource Center, 30 incidents of trafficking have been reported in Kansas this year as of June 30, compared to 52 in 2014.
Human trafficking reports in Kansas are down in recent years, but a local group says there is still work to be done.
Cedric Clark is a co-executive member of Trade61, a Lawrence-based group that advocates against human trafficking. He said the problem stems from several factors.
"Human trafficking, it ties into so many different things like rape culture, domestic violence and sexual harassment," Clark said.
Considering all of these issues, Clark said it's important for people look beyond what they assume human trafficking looks like.
"What we're most passionate about would have to be just the fact that people don't necessarily have the right idea of what (human trafficking) is," Clark said.
"Do your research, figure out what it looks like to be trafficked. It's not just shackles, it's not people walking around with bruises. It's how they respond to people, how they respond to authority," Clark said.
One way to infer if someone is involved in trafficking is to look for abnormalities or changes
in their typical responses.
"If you view sexual crimes as something that we can't talk about, or something that should be left under the rug, it gives it more power, and kind of keeps it in the dark,"
Clark said being aware of the issue can help people feel comfortable seeking help and can break down incorrect assumptions.
In 2016 the NHTRC reported 111 trafficking calls in Kansas, 20 of them from directly affected victims or survivors.
Clark said.
Clark says there is still much room for improvement, despite lower trafficking numbers this year.
"Kansas is supposedly getting better, but there's so much work to be done," Clark said. "It's all around us, although we don't notice it."
"That's what awareness is for I think,trying to change that stigma," Clark said.

Professor discusses relationship between microbes and humans
TANNER HASSELL
I am a passionate scientist who is committed to improving the lives of people. I work with scientists and researchers in various fields, including medicine, agriculture, and environmental science. I am also interested in promoting healthy lifestyles and reducing waste. I believe that science can be used to improve the quality of life for everyone.

Dr. William Picking discussed the invisible world of microbes and their multifaceted relationship with humans in a Sept. 29 lecture. Andrew Rosenthal/KANSAN
W with cold weather rapidly approaching.
the symphony of sniffing hacking and coughing can be heard around campus, ringing in the cold and flu season. The parade of symptoms is a stark reminder of the viruses, bacteria and other microbes that constantly exist around us and inside of us.
Pharmaceutical chemistry professor and director of the Higuchi Biosciences Center William Picking delivered an inaugural lecture highlighting the constant coexistence of humans and microscopic organisms on Sept. 29, according to a University release.
Picking said the lecture was based on years of research in the fields of microbiology and infectious diseases. He said the lecture aimed to highlight how microbes exist all around us, and even within us, both in helpful and harmful capacities.
"Microbes, especially bacteria, greatly impact our lives," he said. "They've been here for a long time, so they've impacted our lives
in pretty profound ways."
Picking said while we are usually familiar with bacteria and microbes that cause us harm $ ^{*} $ most do not. That in itself was a major part of his lecture.
Picking used five "C's" to describe various microbes and their roles in our lives; competitors, collaborators, co-workers, colleagues and combatants. He began by discussing the former three groups of microbes.
Picking said colleagues and combatants have the
most direct contact with humans. While colleagues coexist with humans and even help them, combatants are often responsible for making people sick, a fight Picking referred to as an invisible war. He referred to humans' interaction with combatants as an invisible war.
"We've actually evolved with many microbes present in our bodies. These bacteria are our colleagues since we provide them a home and they assist us with
processes like digestion," he said. "Combatants of course are those microbes which attack the body and make us ill. I spent a large portion of the lecture discussing this invisible battle which is constantly being fought between the body and pathogenic microbes."
Picking discussed the various plagues and pandemics which have historically killed large numbers of humans. He said, however, it can only be a battle if both sides are fighting.
Pathogens develop virulence factors, which Picking says enable them to get around defenses humans have, creating a constant conflict.
"Our defenses against pathogens have evolved as we have, but pathogens have also evolved to find new means of fighting this invisible war," Picking said. "This is basically an ongoing conflict that we fight everyday. Humans have learned in time to fight these pathogens with medicine and vaccinations, giving us another advantage."
Valentino Stella, a distinguished professor of pharmaceutical chemistry at the University, said understanding the nature of microbes is especially important when it comes to the development of medicine and vaccinations.
"Pharmaceutical chemistry basically examines how these methods can be used against pathogens, but also how these drugs or vaccinations will enable the body to help fight off infection," he said.
Stella said this invisible war is often affected by other areas of human life, especially by geopolitical and socioeconomic factors.
"This issue is very complex: a drug company may have the capability to develop an effective drug, but that doesn't necessarily mean they will," he said. "With something like Ebola, they may be able to develop an effective treatment, but who is going to pay for it? Developing vaccines and treatments can cost billions of dollars, so who is going to pay for the drug when it is only needed to treat poor people?"

CLAS expands course offerings over winter break
University students walk down 14th Street during a 2014 snow day. The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is expanding their winter course options.
▶ CHANDLER BOESE

When the fall semester ends in December, most students will leave town, relieved to have a month free of school. But others will be launching into a new semester with one of the new winter session courses to be offered through the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
Outside of study abroad programs and a few journalism or business classes, the University's course offerings over winter break have been minimal. This semester, the college has added 14 online courses across multiple departments.
The new classes are part of the college's efforts to center its operations on students, said Dean Carl Lejuez. He hopes that students will be able to spread out their course loads more and focus more deeply on one class by taking courses in the winter.
"The compression of the course into a four-
week window means a deeper focus on one course as opposed to spreading attention across several courses over a longer period in a typical semester," he said. "For some students, this is a plus because it allows greater attention and focus on one course."
In an email statement, DeAngela BurnsWallace, vice provost for undergraduate studies, said there are even further advantages to students taking winter courses.
"We also see students use the winter break courses to help rebuild their curriculum if they opted to drop a course in the fall semester," she said. "There's also a potential long-term financial benefit. Taking advantage of these winter break courses can help students avoid all the additional costs that come with spending an extra semester on campus."
Paul Atchley, the college's associate dean for academic innovation and student success, has been one of the faculty members working to implement the
winter classes.
"There have been challenges, naturally, like anything new, but we're excited to provide these courses to students and see how it goes," he said.
Atchley said he hopes alternative class formats like online courses or minimesters especially cater to students who may have difficulty succeeding in traditional course formats, because of extracurricular commitments or different learning styles.
He also said he thinks new efforts like these are part of a move toward
academic hybridization an approach to education in which nontraditional elements like online learning are utilized to make learning individual to student needs.
"If you think about it, our academic schedule is based on a 150-year-old model," Atchley said, adding that the academic schedule was originally designed to fit the cycle of planting and harvesting crops. "It might be time to look at a new model that better fits our students' needs today."
From a faculty perspective, winter classes
can be advantageous as well, Lejuez said. He taught a winter class every year at the University of Maryland, where he taught for 14 years before coming to Kansas.
Moreover, Lejuez said, teaching a class during the winter means faculty members have more time to focus on research and mentoring during the regular semester.
"I had students who said they learned more in a winter class than they would've in a class during the regular semester," Lejuez said. "It's so focused and, as an instructor, you can weave together your materials more. Instead of referencing something you talked about four weeks ago, you can reference something you talked about yesterday."
In the future, Lejuez said he hopes to expand the winter courses, with a goal of eventually reaching 60 different classes. He's also not opposed to in-person classes over the winter semester, if they would have enough enrollment.
The winter courses will run from Dec.26 to Jan. 20.A full list can be found on the college's website.

Munoz: Only voters can fix political system
▶ VINCE MUNOZ
@vmunoz_18
As the election season winds down, many of us are eager for it to be over. But as tempting as it might be, we shouldn't forget what we have experienced for nearly the past two years. Regardless of who wins, this is the perfect opportunity to ask difficult questions about our country, especially what caused our politics to get so out of hand?
Some would blame our absurd campaign finance laws that allow campaigns
to raise seemingly endless amounts of money from special interests. Others may point to gerrymandering, the process of redrawing congressional districts to benefit one party over the other. Several ca. didates have claimed the election rules were rigged against their supporters.
But the truth may be even more discouraging. Rather than some insidious force that can be changed with the right law, it may just be voters.
There are several ways in which voters may inadvertently be rewarding problematic politicians who refuse to compromise. The first is that voters are not educated enough to make informed decisions. For example, voters' opinions on the Affordable Care Act differ from their opinions on
Obamacare. In reality, there is no difference between the two; one is merely the nickname of the other. However, a poll conducted in 2013-a full three years after it was passed -found that 37 percent of Americans oppose the ACA while 46 percent oppose Obamacare.
Another factor may be that voters don't care to see compromise."
Another factor may be that voters don't care to see compromise. As of 2014, 66 percent of Republicans would rather have their party leaders "stick to positions" made during campaigns
rather than "compromise." Some members of both parties may say that this sentiment is justified, but the reality is that our system was built for compromise, not brinksmanship.
All of this begs the question: what can be done to fix the system?
While I would absolutely agree that we should enact meaningful reforms to campaign finance, congressional redistricting and our primary systems, voters have to work harder to make our democracy work at the ballot box. It can be exhausting to be bombarded with misleading political ads, but the reason campaigns use them is because they work. If voters take time to improve their media literacy skills and think critically about what they hear before accepting it, campaigns might actually
be forced to talk about the issues.
Additionally, voters should support candidates that are willing to compromise. There is a time and place to take a stand on principle, but it should be for truly extraordinary circumstances, not routine behavior.
It might not be what any of us want to hear, but to fix our democracy, we have to work harder as citizens. Apathy is what got us into our current situation, it's not going to be what gets us out.

Pringle: Consider staying in KS after graduation

@RealJessiePringle
"Anywhere but here" is the destination for many Jayhawks after graduation.
The hunt to find jobs outside of Kansas has started for many upperclassmen, while others are searching for internships that will hopefully evolve into job offers. Yet, there's a defense to consider Kansas as a place of employment after school, despite many frustrations regarding
job opportunities and state policies.
Kansas is at a critical point in which many residents are fleeing the state after graduating college. According to the Board of Regents' DegreeStats database, less than 50 percent of computer science, design, accounting, mathematics and anthropology graduates from the University of Kansas are employed in Kansas.
Kansas is at a critical point where many residents are fleeing the state after graduating college."
Kansas
Now more than ever, University graduates are equipped to address the upcoming challenges of policy and technology that will impact this state's future. But, when fewer college graduates stay in Kansas to help sustain our communities, our state's livelihood will be weakened.
Kansas' needs are ever-changing. Because of this, the state needs citizens who will continue this tradition into the future.
The University boasts strong and meaningful tradition. While this tactic successfully recruits many to Mount Oread, a strong sense of tradition is an undeniable value in other state citizens as well. Our state has been a place of progress since its accession into the Union as a free state. This bold stance during a time of conflict marked the beginning of a tradition of fighting for the betterment of state citizens.
We can influence the trajectory and priorities of our state. We should ensure decisions are being made by those who are invested in the future of our state, and we should remind Kansans of their progressive roots, values and traditions. To be proud University alumni, we should commit to making our state better.
Many understand why President Abraham Lincoln believed in the people of Kansas when he said, "If I went West, I think I would go to Kansas." Kansas is known by many for its citizens' values, hard work and kindness. Lincoln's words breathe life into what the rest of the
The people of Kansas will always persevere and smile while doing so. But a global mindset is also invaluable to future decisions about the state. So, if you leave after graduation, do consider coming back, even if it is just for the annual Homecoming football game.

The department of dance will celebrate community and student creativity with its upcoming production simply titled "Coalescence."
Produced entirely by four dance students, Christine Bessey, Riley Koch, Alex Olsen and Kelsie Middaugh, this performance will feature five choreographed pieces, live music, a student art sale and a speech by Habitat for Humanity.
"The show is all about community and working together," Middaugh said. "I thought it would be a great opportunity to bring
other students in to coalesce with the event."
A few students from the department of visual art will be selling their works during the production. What makes this performance stand out, however, is the inclusion of local musicians who will provide live music

throughout.
"I came up with the idea of choreographing to live music and I really wanted to see how that would transform into a whole production," Bessey said. "I love the contrast the music and dancing gets; to see how the music interacts with the dancers is fascinating."
Bessey went to James Moreno, assistant professor of dance, who suggested she find more producers in order to more easily turn her hefty goal into a reality.
"In the department, whenever students put on productions, the final product always turned out to be amazing," Koch said. "I was really excited to find out what the behind-the-
scenes looked like and it's been definitely stressful, but the good kind of stress where you know you'll love the final product."
Olsen, a first-time producer, said that the experience has dominated her life in the best way possible.
"I came into this wanting to get a little more involved and now I have connections and friendships that I never thought I'd have," Olsen said. "This has been a huge part of my semester to the point that I'll be sitting in class completely ignoring the lecture and thinking only about how I can make [the event] even better."
With opening night drawing closer, all four
performers said they're excited to see their hard work pay off.
"We've been in charge of everything from directing to casting to making the posters—everything." Olsen said. "When I was making the pamphlet for the show and I finally saw everything that we had built written out in front of me, I got so giddy and excited. I'm more than ready to see how this turns out."

Vinyl making comeback among millennials
▶ SAVANNA SMITH
@SovSmith27

The music industry for millennials in the past decades has looked significantly different from that of their parents. With digital music stored on smartphones, MP3 players and computers, listening to one's favorite bands has become a convenient pastime. Despite this, some music enthusiasts prefer old-fashioned vinyl records.

Marc Sheforgen, chief operations manager at Acoustic Sounds in Salina, a worldwide seller and producer of vinyl records, says the vinyl industry has gained traction in recent years. Sheforgen, a University alumnus, says the company now employs over 100 people, compared to 12 people 15 years ago.
"So I think a lot of younger consumers are getting into vinyl for the same reason they get into retro clothing or anything retro," Sheforgen said. There's a certain kind of coolness to it, maybe. And then a certain number of people who may be drawn to it for that reason then appreciate that it sounds better, certainly much better than their

MP3s."
Sheforgen said the "hip factor" has also played a major part in the resurgence of vinyl.
Alex Murray, a freshman and vinyl enthusiast, said he enjoys listening to vinyl records while relaxing in his dorm.
"Back in high school, my dad, he owns quite a few, and I always saw them but we never had a turntable," Murray said. "I don't want to be too cliché or cheesy, but it's just sort of an experience."
Acoustic Sounds keeps vinyl alive in the age of digital music.
As you walk into the record store's headquarters on the industrial north-side of Salina, you'll immediately see the walls are lined with cover art of admired blues artists such as Dexter Gordon and Hank Mobley, and big names such as Jimi Hendrix and Bob Dylan. Many staff members wear graphic t-shirts and lax attire, truly capturing the easy-going culture of music enthusiasts.

Acoustic Sounds is also an all-inclusive producer, manufacturer, and distributor of new and used vinyl. According to David Clouston, communications manager at Acoustic Sounds, the company is one of approximately 25 presses in the United States and

Since vinyl pressing is a dated form of music manufacturing, there are few presses left in the world. Acoustic Sounds has machines dating back into the late 60s and early 70s. In the pressing room, the loud noises of the machines are overwhelming, but are matched by the awe-inducing production of records, etched into 12-inch discs, showcasing the likes of Jerry Garcia and Pink Floyd.
"We do about every big name," Clouston said. "It's kind of like your hometown record store on steroids."
Sheforgen said the physical aspect of holding a record is important and a major attraction to vinyl records. Being able to hold a weighted vinyl record in one's hand and take in the detail of the art is an experience not many youths have the privilege to enjoy in a typical day, Sheforgen said.
The increase in youth
interest, the beauty of the cracks and pops and the full embodied sound of a record is what resurrected the vinyl industry in the midst of a technological age, according to Sheforgen. Because of the increased popularity, Acoustic Sounds is able to send out an average of 300 mail-order vinyl records a day, amounting to over 100,000 a year.

Kansas offense regresses in blowout loss to Baylor
BRIAN MINI
@brianminimum
During a season in which Kansas' defense has made significant strides forwards, the offense still seems far behind. Baylor's 49-7 win over Kansas further showcases the problem.
Sophomore quarterback Ryan Willis throws a pass in the first half against Baylor on Oct. 15.
KANSAS
13
Baylor led by 42 at halftime, which would normally reflect poorly on the defense. But, as has been the case in the past few weeks, Kansas' five total turnovers gave Baylor easy scoring opportunities.
In the first half, sophomore quarterback Ryan Willis threw two interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown. The other was returned 52 yards and led to a missed field goal by Baylor.
To add to the issues in the first half, Kansas' offensive line allowed four sacks while Baylor's didn't allow any. Baylor also came out on top in terms of tackles for loss, a category where Kansas has been dominant for much of this season.
Associated Press
The second half didn't start much better as Willis'
woes continued with his third interception of the day. Willis finished with 89 yards and three interceptions.
Willis was eventually replaced by freshman quarterback Carter Stanley who, despite throwing an interception, led Kansas down the field for its only touchdown of the day.
Defending the run seemed to the main issue for Kansas as Baylor's star running back, Shock Lindwood, averaged
4. 6 yards per carry and Russell averaged 9.7.Those two would combine for three of Baylor's rushing touchdowns.
Although Kansas allowed 49 points to Baylor, Kansas' defense was able to limit Baylor to only seven second-half points, including a shutout in the
last week and followed it up against Baylor with a team-leading eight tackles, including a tackle for a loss, one of the team's three total.
Kansas failed to really establish the passing game, but freshman running back Khalil Herbert was a bright spot with Kansas' only touchdown and 3.8 yards a carry.
fourth quarter.
"Our defense played a workmen's game. They continued to play hard. There was never a quit in them," Beaty said via the Kansas Football Twitter account.
"Ultimately we have to get better with production especially offensively, but on all fronts," coach David Beaty said after the loss via the Kansas Football Twitter account.
Kansas faces Oklahoma State next weekend at Memorial Stadium.
In the third quarter, Baylor quarterback Seth Russell was taken out of the game with 144 yards passing, two rushing touchdowns and two passing touchdowns. He was replaced by Zach Smith, who was still able to complete four of his eight passes during the blowout.
The only other defensive standout for Kansas was freshman cornerback Mike Lee, who converted to safety
Defensively for Kansas, the inability to rush the quarterback hurt and
the normally disruptive sophomore defensive end Dorance Armstrong was essentially shut out the first half, but finally tallied Kansas' only sack in the third quarter.
Jayhawks to play more 'small ball' this season
KU
Missy Minear/KANSAN Junior guard Devonte' Graham celebrates making a half-court shot at media day on Oct. 13.
▶ CHRISTIAN S. HARDY
@ByHardy
There are three players on the Kansas basketball team that Bill Self says aren't question marks: senior guard Frank Mason III, junior guard Devonte' Graham and senior forward Landen Lucas.
The rest, he said, are a bit more jumbled at this point.
Josh Jackson and Udoka Azubuike are freshmen and could take some time to find their role. Self said he's not sure if junior guard Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk or sophomore forward Carlton Bragg Jr. will improve to where they need to be. Sophomore guard Lagerald Vick has taken a huge step forward, pushing everyone in front of him.
Yet, there's one more thing that Self seemed certain of at Kansas basketball's media day on Thursday: Despite being a traditional three-out, two-in team, Self
plans to use four guards a lot more this year.
"I see us playing small quite a bit," Self said. "With Josh and Lagerald and Svi, you're big enough to play two of those at the three and the four."
While Jackson, Vick and Mykhailiuk will be the go-to guys in the third and fourth guard positions on a small lineup, he's not planning to use them as forwards. They'll remain as guards, with Lucas or Azubuike manning the center.
Generally, Self sees the
In recent years, the "small ball" formula has worked well. It worked for Villanova coach JayVaughn Pinkston last year, as they finished the season with a National Championship. Two years ago, Duke was using Justise Winslow as the four in their version of four-out, one-in when the Blue Devils won the National Championship in 2015.
four-out, one-in system with smaller, quicker teams which can spread the floor as a way to challenge bigger lineups Kansas might see this year.
"It used to be fours want to be threes. Well, they still do, but coaches are making threes [into] fours," Self said. "Which, if you think about it, is really smart... They talk about it all the time: stretch fours really make teams hard to guard."
You've got to figure out whose ego allows you to do certain things."
Bill Self Coach
With Jackson and Mykhailiuk both coming in at 6-foot-8 — the same
"I'm not sure that knowing who you're going to start now helps you win games in February." Self said. "You've got to figure out whose ego allows you to do certain things. But I'd say going in when you're having Indiana and Duke right off the bat that if we're able to stay healthy, having those guys pretty much know what their role will be going in I think is probably a positive."
height Perry Ellis was listed at on the team's roster last year - either of them should be serviceable in Self's stretch four spot.
As for his regular starters, Self said he's expecting Mason, Graham, Jackson, Bragg and Lucas to be the starting five going into the season. However, he said it's less about that lineup and more about figuring out how those players fit into roles.

Maicke: NFL should allow celebrations
▶ MIKE MAICKE
@MJ_Maicke
The NFL's aggressive stance to "clean up" touchdown celebrations is in full force, and it's becoming unbearable for the fans.
These calls hurt both the players and the teams with absurd fines and costly 15-yard penalties. Steelers' wide receiver Antonio Brown was fined $24,000 for "twerking" in the end zone after catching a pass against the Chiefs.
It's at the point where you seem to catch at least one excessive celebration penalty per game, almost without fail.
Sure, I suppose some old-timers could potentially find the dance provocative and inappropriate. But is a receiver dancing in the endzone after making a great play really hurting anybody?
KANSAN.COM/SPORTS | MONDAY, OCT. 17,2016
The rules around touchdown celebrations have always been ambiguous. There is hardly consistency in when they are called, and severity of the fines.
It has already been established that if the player uses the football as a prop, they will be hit with a flag and a fine. However, so far in the 2016 season there have been plenty of penalty flags on celebrations that don't involve the football at all.
A $24,000 fine for a dance in the endzone?
Please.
Who exactly is this rule protecting? The other team's emotions? Has the competitive sports world crumbled to the point
wnere in a professional football league the same amount of yardage is given out for a dance as is for a cheap late hit?
These are the questions we need to be asking before the league commits completely to this no-fun crusade that they are apparently on.
Yes, there are some celebrations that are over the line; however, the most egregious thing about these "terrible" celebrations is the amount of time they take away from the game. My biggest gripe is the disturbance in the flow of the game, not that someone's being an alleged bad sport to the other team.
Of course a flag and a fine needs to be hit when former receiver Joe Horn literally used a cell phone after catching a touchdown pass or when notorious showboat Terrell Owens actually signed a football after scoring a touchdown. But let's start letting the dances go and let the players have some fun and show personality.
If anything, the dancing should be encouraged. It shows young athletes playing football that you can be happy about a good catch or run and celebrate without getting in the opposing team's face.
Think about it: flags aren't thrown when altercations occur after the whistle with players bumping into each other, but God forbid you twerk after scoring!
Let's let the players have some fun, NFL. Ease up on the celebration penalties.

Josh Jackson aims high in 2016-17
▶ SKYLAR ROLSTAD
@UkyRolSports
Early last week, Kansas freshman Josh Jackson made headlines by saying the men's basketball team expected to go undefeated and win a national title.
The bold expectations were the perfect thing to headline USA Today's college basketball special edition: the top recruit in the nation (according to Rivals and 247Sports) proclaiming his team, one of the top programs in the nation, would win it all without losing a single game.
While the high expectation opened lots of eyes ahead of another college basketball season where Kansas figures to be among the best, Jackson said he didn't intend to make a huge statement.
Kansas coach Bill Self tempered expectations and
"We're not predicting a 40-0 season," he said.
"That's just what we're striving for, that's what we're trying to get to. If you don't believe it, you can never do it. So why not?"
qualified the words from Jackson at Kansas basketball media day on Thursday.
"We don't talk like that. And also, young kids, they haven't been through it," Self said. "They don't know how hard it is to win in Ames, they don't know how hard it is to win in Morgantown or Manhattan or different places. I will say this: I really think that this team's goal should be, when they play that night, their goal should be to win every game."
Self added: "I don't think he made that prediction. That was a goal, right? There's nothing wrong with goals. That's good."
Jackson, like the Kansas program, has lived with high expectations his entire life. He welcomes them.
"Any team I've played on has always had expectations," Jackson said. "I've had high expectations. I love winning so I'm always going to have high expectations for myself and my teammates."
Self acknowledged the reality about Jackson, saying he has the chance to be
one of the best freshmen the Kansas program has ever known. When Self spoke to the media about his plans for a starting lineup, Jackson's name was mentioned frequently.
Jackson has been winning his entire life. With the talk of going undefeated this season, he remembered the closest he's ever been to an undefeated season: as a sophomore at Detroit Consortium, Jackson led his high school to its first-ever state championship. Detroit Consortium lost two games that season.
The expectations started there. After the game, the opposing coach compared him to Magic Johnson, reported Michigan Live. After the second year at Detroit Consortium, Jackson moved to Napa Valley, Calif., to play at Prolific Prep.
Coming into his freshman season at Kansas, Jackson reflected on his role in that squad, where he was a versatile player.
["I played] everything, one through five," Jackson said in regard to what position he played on the high school team.
For Kansas, Jackson will likely be doing the same. Though there is no shortage of talent on this year's team, Self said the dynamic of the team might change.
"We've always been a conventional three-out, two-in team, but I think this year we're going to get away from that a little bit," Self said.
Jackson may be an important piece to playing with four guards this season. Self and teammates have talked about huge improvement for sophomore guard Lagerald Vick over the offseason, and it will be a challenge for the Jayhawks to fit all of Josh Jackson, Devonte' Graham, Frank Mason III and Vick on the floor for enough minutes.
"In practice sometimes I bring the ball up the floor," Jackson said. "Mostly I'm playing the two or the three but most of the times this year we'll go small so I may be playing some four. So I'm probably playing four different positions this year."

No. 6 Kansas finding identity after sweeping TCU
Junior outside hitter Madison Rigdon prepares to serve on Oct. 8 during a match against Texas Tech
▶ TIFFANY LITTLER @Tlint33
After a midweek win over Kansas State, No. 6 Kansas volleyball traveled to Fort Worth, Texas, on Saturday to continue its momentum in the Big 12 against TCU (10-7, 3-4 Big 12). The Jayhawks swept the Horned Frogs (25-12, 25-19, 25-22) to improve to 17-2 on the season and 6-1 in the Big 12.
Junior setter Ainise Havili, a Fort Worth native, recorded a double-double with 32 assists and 13 digs while playing in front of friends and family. Junior right-side hitter Kelsia Payne also recorded a double-double with 16 kills and ten digs. She also had seven blocks.
Along with Havili's fans, there were quite plenty of others supporting the team at TCU's University Recreation Center.

"We had a ton of Jayhawk fans here and we've got a lot of kids from the area," coach Ray Bechard said. "This area's been good to us, so that was really cool to have that kind of energy in the gym."
The Kansas defense showed no mercy to the Horned Frogs. The highest hitting percentage for TCU came in the second set at .098. Senior libero Cassie Wait was a big reason for the success of the defense. She had 25 digs on the night and recorded three assists.
TCU responded to the first set loss and came back with more energy in the second and third sets. Kansas was hitting at just a .122 percentage in the third set, compared to .417 in the first.
Junior middle blocker Kayla Cheadle continued her recent emergence with another start against the Horned Frogs. She has started in eight of 11 matches that she has played in thus far in the season. On Saturday, she recorded six kills and six blocks against the Horned Frogs.
In the third set, a kill by junior outside hitter Madison Rigdon was overturned and TCU closed the point gap to two. Cheadle responded to a 5-0 run by TCU with her sixth and final kill on the night. She then contributed to a monstrous
block with Rigdon right after.
Bechard said he felt more encouraged that his team is coming together, understanding who they are and what they do well. He
said that was evident in this match.
"I think this solidifies it a little bit, of course we've got to get back to work knowing we got a good West Virginia team to end the first round,
Kansas has now swept each of its last three matches, and has won each of its last five matches by 3-1
but I think we're playing with some good momentum right now," he said.

As a tumultuous presidential election comes to a close and election day draws closer, students are making an effort to flesh out the truth.
As Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton battled it out at the final presidential debate Wednesday night, about 40 University students and faculty gathered in a corner of Watson Library for a fact-checking event hosted by KU Libraries.
Audience members watched the debate on a large projector while a panel of six fact-checkers
including three journalism students kept their eyes on their laptops, verifying, disproving or clarifying statements and statistics.
Kevin Smith, dean of libraries, said fact-checking events are important at all times in politics, but especially during debates.
"Debates have always been an area where the truth is, perhaps, not the first priority," Smith said.
Smith said fact-checking is especially necessary in a time where complex issues are often condensed to tweets and audio clips.

"No offense to Twitter, but we communicate in 140 characters ... there is a lot of creating a sound bite because it sounds good and it will catch somebody's attention," Smith said. "And we're less, perhaps, concerned about whether it's factually accurate."
Sophomore Chloe Carlson, a journalism student from Chicago, was
in charge of fact-checking statements about the Supreme Court and each candidate's fitness to be president.
Carlson said she volunteered at the watch party because it was something she was planning on doing anyway.
"If I wasn't doing it here, I'd be doing it on my couch right now," Stein said. "I did it for the first two debates. I sat on my couch with my laptop on my lap."
"The last time I watched it, my friends and I were just rapid-fire Googling it, because they kept calling each other out, and you never know who is telling the truth," Carlson said.
Reid Stein, a junior from Dallas, Tex., said the fact-checking party provided him a place to do something he'd done with previous debates.
By the end of the night, participants fact-checked about 70 statements from the candidates.
All participants were equipped with three small paper flags in different colors, reading "true," "false" and "red herring." As the
Afterward, Stein said he felt very busy during the debate as he tried to keep up with both Clinton's and Trump's claims.
Stein said he was flashing one flag more than the rest. He said there were "a lot of red herrings."
For those who couldn't go to the fact-checking party and want to do some investigating at home, the University Libraries have created a fact-checking guide that can be accessed at http://guides.lib.ku.edu/2016debates.
Smith said he hopes the event encourages students to take part in the democratic process.
"Above all, watch the debate, make up your mind, please vote," he said.
KU to ban tobacco on campus in 2018
Kaila Trollope/KANSAN
Kaila Trollope/KANSAN Upcoming policy changes will enforce a tobacco-free environment for campus in fall 2018.
CHANDLER BOESE
@Chandler_Boese
After three years of research and discussion the initiative to make the University's campus tobacco-free has set a date for the change to go into effect: fall 2018.
In March of 2013, according to the initiative's website, the Senate Executive Committee, which includes representatives from the University's student, staff and faculty senates, resolved to begin the initiative to develop a tobacco-free policy at the University.
For the past three years, the initiative conducted research and talked to members of the communities affected by this policy: faculty, students, staff, members of surrounding neighborhoods and the health department, said Ola Faucher, the director of human resources and head of the initiative.
Faucher said she has recently spoken about their work to Provost Neeli Bendapudi and Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little, and they agreed that fall 2018 would be the best time to begin prohibiting tobacco from campus.
"We wanted to build it into the academic cycle," she said. "And the University is facing a number of changes in 2017, so we didn't want this change to add to changes that are already occurring."
News and Media Rela
tions Director Erinn Barcomb-Peterson confirmed Wednesday morning that University administration has signed off on the change and it will be formally announced in the fall of 2017.
Members of the initiative will now work with the University's policy office to draft a policy, which will then go before the various governance boards for discussion, Faucher said. Because the policy is not yet formally set, specifics like enforcement and the boundaries of the law are not yet decided.
Faucher said the governance boards don't necessarily have to approve the initiative, but she wants to inform them, and hopes they can give feedback on the specific implementation decisions.
"There will still be an opportunity to provide input when it's posted for open comment," she said.
Faculty members of the initiative like Faucher are not doing the job alone, though. Breathe Easy at KU, or BEAK, is a student group dedicated to working on the initiative.
Savanna Cox, a sophomore from Beloit and vice president of BEAK, said the group's main focus has been getting feedback and spreading the word about the initiative. Cox said the group, originally formed in 2013, went dormant for a while because of opposition

Concerns about guns in sensitive facilities go unadressed
- CHANDLER BOESE
@Chandler_Boee
Amid all the conversation that takes place at the University regarding concealed carry, one professor said the biggest threat to the University community is not being widely discussed.
Professor Ron Barrett-Gonzalez from the
aerospace engineering department said there are several facilities on University property that contain an immense amount of flammable or explosive materials—materials that he said should never be near a firearm in an untrained hand.
every facility owned or leased by the University will be open to concealed carry by people over 21 years of age, unless the facility is equipped with metal detectors and security guards.
The University will be opened to concealed weapons starting July 1, 2017, per Kansas law. This means
Barrett-Gonzalez believes the law poses many threats to academic freedom and does not address mental health issues, but he said the threat of firearms
near these types of chemicals is perhaps more pressing.
"The arguments of academic freedom and discussion have been drowned out by the immediate physical danger," he said.
Barrett-Gonzalez, who serves on University Senate, has been speaking to administration and University Fire Marshall Bob
Rombach about this issue.
Barrett-Gonzalez said that at a University Senate meeting earlier this month, Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little told him that the Kansas Attorney General said the University could not make facilities that contain dangerous chemicals exempt from the law. As a result, the University would have to pay for new security
measures, something administration is unlikely to be able to do, according to the professor.
"People's lives are being put in jeopardy because KU doesn't have enough money," Barrett-Gonzalez said.
Some of the buildings that contain these sensitive chemicals are pretty appar-

to the initiative. Last spring, it became active again.
"When I got involved in the group in spring of 2016, it was kind of like everyone on board was like, 'OK, we really want this, let's work for it, let's reinvigorate the student group because that's a great way to reach out to the campus population,'" she said.
Since then, BEAK members have tabled at several local health events, something they will continue to do as the policy is formulated and the campus prepares for the change.
Faucher said she believes having a tobacco-free campus fits into the University's overall mission.
"It goes along with our general philosophy of being a healthy and respectful environment. It's also very much a characteristic of a lot of more progressive universities in the nation," she said. "We really aren't solving a problem, we're trying to take an evolutionary, cultural change step toward

the next kind of environment we feel our university should represent."
"Up until 2018, we'll be around to listen to feedback on ways that we can make the policy transition a little bit easier on those who are tobacco users because we do want to do this in the most sensitive way possible," Cox said. "So if people have ideas or feedback on ways that they would like to see it happen in order to make an easier transition, that's what we want to hear."
Cox said she would like to see the campus go tobacco-free for several reasons, not the least of which is that, as a pre-med student, she has seen the effects of smoking on people's bodies.
"It's already hard when you're huffing and puffing climbing up some of those stairs or up the hill and then you take a deep breath and, instead of fresh air, it's a cloud of smoke," she
said. "Yes, it's their right to be able to smoke, but it's also my right to have clean air on campus as well, in a place that I go every day."
in preparation for fall 2018, the members of BEAK and the initiative will likely try to focus on getting the word out to members of the University community and others affected by the law, Faucher said.

The chemistry department, one of the units that does research in Malott Hall, said in an email statement, "The Chemistry Department is hopeful that [the Department of Environmental Health and Safety], the University and the State of Kansas will thoroughly evaluate all potential risks of having firearms on campus."
Some are concerned that concealed-carry on campus will allow guns in places like the Mal Harned Propulsion Lab, which contains flammable materials such as airplane fuel. Ashley Hocking/KANSAN
Other buildings that contain sensitive materials are not as obvious, such as Dyche Hall, which houses the Natural History Museum's collections - many of which are stored in alcohol, according to Barrett-Gonzalez. In fact, that's why Dyche is backed up to Potter Lake: to minimize any fire
hazard.
Some of the most dangerous facilities, though, are not on main campus, Barrett-Gonzalez said. His students often go to the University's Garrison Flight Research Center northeast of Lawrence, where they work on old airplanes and engines. The chancellor's jet is also stored in that facility.
Director of KU News and Media Relations Erinn Barcomb-Peterson said implementation of the law has not yet been decided, because the Kansas Board of Regents has yet to review the University's draft policy.
Barrett-Gonzalez said he is worried that an accidental discharge in a sensitive facility could cause a fire or explosion.

$50 fee increase now on April ballot
Alex Robinson/KANSAN Trinity Carpenter, a student senator, gives a speech against the referendum for fee increase for Union renovations.
JANUARY 14, 2015

A bill which will put a hefty student fee increase to a vote on this spring's Student Senate ballot passed in Full Senate on Wednesday evening.
In the April Student Senate election, students will have the opportunity to vote on a $50 student fee increase for renovations to the Kansas Union beginning in 2019.
"Before we're even having the fee, we need to put it forth to the student body. Last year during fee review, the Union came to the fee-review sub-committee,
Student Body Vice President Gabby Naylor advocated for the referendum, saying the fee increase was too large not to include the student body.
asking for a renovation fee increase," Naylor said. "We determined it was too large of a fee to make that decision before the whole University had a say in it."
Lisa Kring, the director of building services for the Kansas Union, spoke at the meeting about the history leading up to the referendum.
"In the spring of 2013, the university started some master planning," Kring said "In fiscal year 2015, what
According to Kring, after the initial planning came to a close,the costs that would be required from future students to complete the project were settled.
came out of that was about a 40,000-square-foot addition to this building, which was expansive. We felt like we needed to do some more refinement."
“[With] the project cost breakdown on this, what we've done is essentially model this building and identify areas that are going to be more expensive to handle versus areas that'll be less expensive," Kring said. "We're looking at about $38.5 million in new construction, renovation and remodel. Building infrastructure, the plumbing and those sorts of things, that's about a $6.5 million dollar piece."
Kring said that she thinks the Union should be renovated because it's a central part of the University story, it's the first thing future students see on campus visits and it's a valued spot for visiting alumni.
"It's time. We haven't done a significant renovation in 32 years," she said.
Senators passed the bill by a count of 54-22-9.

How the University saved $60,000 with light bulbs
HAILEY DIXON
@_hailey_dixon
One small switch to lighting has meant big savings on the campus energy bill.
The University recently saved over $60,000 by switching compact fluorescent and halogen light bulbs to LED bulbs.
The initiative focuses on buildings at the Lawrence campus. According to the June 2016 Energy Office and Center for Sustainability's activities report, lights in the Allen Fieldhouse and Mississippi Street parking garages were all replaced by
LED bulbs in fall 2013. The savings amounted to over $25,000,the report said.The savings jumpstarted other initiatives across campus to save more money.
As of Aug. 9, there are a total of 4,518 LED bulbs installed on campus, according to the report.
"About a year and a half ago, we started looking at the possibility of replacing compact fluorescent and halogen lights with LED," said George Werth, energy program manager. "We went through the inventory of our warehouse. I came up with an analysis for each
type of lamp, how long it will last and how long it will be on an energy basis. We were able to compare the different lamp types."
Leading up to this change, previous contracts with outside corporations were ended to see if work could be done to save energy within University personnel, according to Cassi Reimer, an energy conservation behavior specialist.
"It was worth the investment to create something through KU full-time," Reimer said.
The initiative is as simple as facility services replacing burnt out light
bulbs with LED bulbs.
"Right now the program is basically stocking the LED replacements, and no longer stocking compact fluorescent or halogen lamps," Werth said. "And as lights burn out, these LED ones are being provided as lamps."
The initiative will continue to expand across campus to buildings as bulbs need to be replaced.
"The LED replacement program that we are doing is growing and it's going to be a little slow moving at first," Werth said. "Folks won't see the LED lamps right away, because it's a
transition. We are working diligently so that everything on campus is eventually LED, but it will take some time to do it."
It was worth the investment to create something through KU full-time."
Cassi Reimer Energy conservation behavior specialist
In addition, Reimer said that students and staff can help the University save
more energy by doing simple things like turning off the lights if they are the last to leave the room, or unplugging their charger when not charging a phone. She also said staff are encouraged to report issues such as if a classroom is too hot, or too cold.
"My philosophy, and the energy center really believes that every action matters, and all adds up," she said. "So you know those simple things like turning off a light or turning off your computer really adds up in energy savings."

@sssanchez26
Recently, a video was posted of a meeting of the University chapter of Young Americans for Freedom (YAF), in which students protested against the YAF's platform. According to their website, the YAF strives to combat the campus liberalization that it says is becoming more and more threatening to conservative ideologies. They seek to create discussion in which their ideas can be expressed without fear of censorship: a safe space, if you will.
Disturbingly, many right-wing media outlets picked up the video, referring to protesters as "social justice warriors" who were "screaming," "aggressive" and "explod[ing] in rage." Other articles have lauded YAF for standing up to protestors while being "subjected to nasty attacks." A handful of these articles were published on the national YAF website.
For an organization praising the value of free speech, YAF is rather critical of protesters exercising their freedom of speech.
In my opinion, to claim they are protecting conservative values under attack is historically ignorant and misplaced among subtler racist and gendered ideologies. After all, when the issues of abortion, religious freedoms and other historically polarizing topics arise on college campuses, conservatives choose to conveniently ignore freedom of speech in favor of restricting certain academic freedoms.
There is a reason minority groups are called minority. The ideologies of white, heterosexual, Christian males have long dominated the historical development of the U.S., and persist in modern institutions like the University and the political framework of the U.S. Safe spaces are one of the ways to mediate the privileges enjoyed by non-marginalized groups for the benefit of those who are Co-opting a safe space, or arguing against its necessity, thus threatens the well-being of these marginalized peoples.
Safe spaces, like trigger warnings, may not be necessary for everyone, but they should be available for those who need them and not dismissed as trivial. By arguing that safe spaces infringe on freedom of speech because they restrict the ability to express one's mind, conservative groups ignore the entire notion of a safe space.
To label safe spaces as the result of political correctness, or to say that they are a result of over-coddled young people, is to blatantly misunderstand the current climate of the United States. When there is a very real possibility that the next president is a rich, white man who has consistently maintained popularity while engaging in racist, sexist and other vitriolic speech, how can one claim that a community and support system for those who are blatantly targeted by him and
his followers is unnecessary?
As for conservative values, the reactions to Trump's sexist remarks in the past few days indicate that conservative values only apply to a select few: white males and the women in their families.
When chalking and other support for the candidate appears on campus and in YAF, it should obvious why some marginalized students are worried about their safety on campus, especially if other students are demonstrating support for such hate speech.
Free speech is important, but so is recognizing how it may be damaging. Trigger warnings and safe spaces are created not to censor, but rather to ensure that all people may be comfortable

expressing themselves. A safe space does not encourage students to avoid difficult subjects or controversial opinions, but rather provides a way in which they can healthily and safely confront them.
Just because they do not apply to you, does not mean they are not important. If you are comfortable enough to speak your mind, think hard about why someone else may not be, and why your safe space is not safe for everyone.

Why I'm not voting

I've seen the tweets. I've looked at the emails. I know who Aleppo is. Despite all of this information, I just can't find one candidate that is better than the others.

But I can't decide which candidate represents the country I love to the rest of the world better."
Look, I realize how easy voting is. I realize that there is a polling location in the engineering building and that busses for the entire city of Lawrence are free on Election Day. For me, the extra half hour that I could gain instead of voting for the individual that gets to appoint the next Supreme Court Justice and influence the structure of our laws for decades to come could be spent doing better things - like watching all of the Air Bud movies or listening to Chingy.
Finally, I understand that my vote does matter. I understand the power my voice has, not only in picking the next president but especially in local and congressional races. I realize that the future of public policy could very well be influenced by a few seats in Congress, and that my vote could play a major role in that. Of course I know that many local elections are decided by just a few votes, but I'd rather give that opportunity to people I neither
know nor agree with.
So this election season, I'm giving up my vote. I'm going to stay home making my own squirrel jerky then complain about the result of the election for the next four years. I'm going to lament the flaws in our political system and the lack of representation I receive, despite passing on the opportunity to make my voice heard at the polls. I'm going to boo at whatever the result is in November, because I'm not voting.

Tunes at Night to showcase Ricky Roosevelt
▶ MYLAN JONES
@thislanismylan
Student Union Activities and KJHK's upcoming iteration of Tunes at Night will feature rapper Jarred Morris under the name Ricky Roosevelt at the Lied Center Pavilion on Oct. 26.
Melissa Yunk, the live music coordinator for KJHK, said the event usually showcases alternative music and this is the first time a rapper will be performing.
"For as long as I have been here, we have not had a rapper perform at Tunes at Night," Yunk said. "We recently had an R&B artist
perform, so we would like to continue to include artists from other genres."
In a previous Kansan story, Morris, who is also a University student, said he planned to turn out a lot of work during 2016 and he has done just that. He released an album, "Double R Volume 1: Visions" this summer and has been working on other music in addition to that. Morris said he's content with the progress he's made.
"I'm doing the things that I want to do and I'm just trying to build on that," Morris said. "I have a couple things in the works. Of course it won't be finished
For his show on Oct. 26, Morris said he's going to provide a very entertaining and memorable experience. He is an active performer and likes being all over the place. Yunk said he often goes into the crowd and interacts with those in front of him. Morris also said he hopes to showcase a wide range of his music.
In addition to the songs from "Double R Volume 1: Visions," Morris will be performing songs from a project he's working on that he

plans to release at the end of the month.
"My producer, alcalh, and I are dropping a project at the end of the month, so we're gonna be playing a lot of stuff from that," Morris said. "I have a few songs that will probably never be recorded or anything like that. I definitely will have a song or two from Double R Volume 2. It's definitely going to be a little bit of everything, just to add some variety."
For Morris, Tunes at Night is an opportunity to spread the Ricky Roosevelt name and sound among University students, as well as Lawrence as a whole.
But the grind does not end there: Morris has big things planned for the future.
"Actually two days after Tunes at Night, I have another show at Replay and that's going to be a Halloween-themed event," Morris said. "Since I have had a lot of shows within the third quarter of 2016, I may just take time to work on my music, as opposed to performing."
The show begins at 8 p.m. and lasts for about an hour. Refreshments will be provided at the show. For more information, visit suaevents.com.

5 streamable movies to get you in the Halloween spirit
GUS HUNNINGHAKE @gushunninghake
t's that time of year again: leaves are turning, the weather is getting colder (kind of) and Halloween is right around the corner. This makes it prime time for watching some great horror movies. Luckily for us, there are multiple places to stream quality fright flicks. Here are some solid movies currently streaming on Netflix and Hulu for you to enjoy in the days leading up to Halloween:
"The Guest" (2014). Available on Netflix.
This genre-blending masterpiece stars Dan Stevens as David, a former soldier who becomes involved with the Peterson family, claiming to have
served in the Afghanistan War with their son. As he becomes closer with the Petersons, his actions become stranger. Eventually, one family member catches on, and everything goes sideways from there. Adam Wingard uses his horror-style directing skills to build plenty of tension, Simon Barrett's script uses tight, sharp dialogue and Dan Stevens delivers a wonderfully twisted performance that steals the show.
"The Babadook" (2014). Available on Netflix.
This film tells the story of Amelia (Essie Davis), a widower raising her six-year-old son Samuel (Noah Wiseman). One night, Amelia reads Sam "Mr. Babadook,"
a book about a creature who terrorizes children when the lights go out. In the days that follow, Amelia and Sam's relationship deteriorates as the creature Amelia denies only becomes more present in her life. Jennifer Kent creates loads of tension in her directing, the sound design is awesome and the presence of true horror instead of jump scares makes this a unique monster flick worth the weekend view.
"Jaws" (1975). Available on Netflix.
"Jaws" stars Roy Scheider as Brody, a police chief who's investigating local shark attacks around Amity Island. With pressure from the mayor and attacks becoming more frequent, Brody hires Quint (Robert Shaw), a
fisherman, and Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss), a scientist, to help him hunt the great white shark responsible and kill it before it kills anyone else. Surprisingly, this film's success is largely due to its production problems. The automated shark never worked, which led director Steven Spielberg and cinematographer Bill Butler to film most of the shark's movements from an underwater POV perspective. These shots are now considered some of the best cinematographic choices in modern film. To this day, "Jaws" remains a perennial classic.
"Cloverfield" (2008). Available on Hulu and Amazon Prime Video.
found-footage
Most
horror movies are terrible, but "Cloverfield" is one of the few outliers. The events are filmed by Hud (T.J. Miller), a run-of-the-mill guy filming a farewell party for his friend Rob (Michael Stahl-David). During the party, an earthquake and a power outage sends Rob and his friends into a panic and they flee to the streets, only to find out that an extraterrestrial creature has begun destroying the city. Miller's comic, yet heartfelt performance, Matt Reeves' kinetic, careful directing and an overwhelming sense of helplessness make this one of the best found-footage movies out there.
husband and daughter in a car accident, Sarah (Shauna Macdonald) decides to reunite with her friends and go spelunking. When Juno (Natalie Mendoza) leads them down an unknown path, and the opening closes in on them, Sarah and her friends are forced to continue into the cave, where they run into sinister creatures out for blood. A game cast of relatively unknown actresses, claustrophobic set pieces and unrelenting, yet effective, jump scares complemented by Neil Marshall's unique direction make this cult film a truly terrifying experience.
"The Descent" (2005) Available on Hulu.

Review: Poor direction, script derail 'Girl on the Train'
BASED ON THE THRILLER THAT SHOCKED THE WORLD
THE
GIRL
ON THE
TRAIN
What you see can hurt you.
OCTOBER 7

The most scrutinized films in the modern era are arguably those adapted from bestselling novels. These films are either universally loved ("The Martian") or hated ("The Twilight Saga") by critics and viewers alike. This love or lack thereof depends on the film's faithfulness to its source material and how well it's actually put together. "The Girl on the Train," the most recent bestselling novel adaptation, stays relatively faithful to its source, but fails to be put together well enough for it to matter.
Revelations happen too fast, with no buildup whatsoever, and all but one of the twists fail to feel impactful in any way."
Directed by Tate Taylor and adapted from Paula Hawkins' novel of the same name, "The Girl on the Train" stars Emily Blunt as Rachel Watson, a recently divorced, recently fired alcoholic who spends her days riding a train. She enjoys watching people from the train, specifically one couple who lives near her old home. One day, Rachel spots the woman in the couple with another man. She wakes up days later to find that this woman has gone missing. Rachel feels somewhat responsible, but all the drinking and blackouts prevent her from knowing the truth. So she decides to get involved in the mystery, sending her on a path towards an end that she never could imagine.
The only positive part of this film is Blunt's performance as Rachel. She does a fine job of portraying someone so affected by alcoholism that parts of her life are gone from memory. The constant strain to remember her actions is well-realized by Blunt, and she weaves herself into the narrative quite well.
Sadly, her performance is about the only one in the film with much effort. Megan (Haley Bennett), the woman who goes missing, is about as thin and lifeless as she could be. Her lines are dull, there are no redeemable qualities to her actions and by the time her big character reveal comes, it feels flat and pointless, despite its importance.
Scott (Luke Evans), Megan's husband, is similarly flat, but in more of a "look at me, I'm an attractive male and offer no malleable character traits" kind of way. Rachel's ex, Tom (Justin Theroux) and his new wife, Anna (Rebecca Ferguson) give decent performances, but have very little screen time for them to matter.
In all fairness, these performances aren't solely the fault of the actors involved. The screenplay, written by Erin Cressida Wilson, is where most of the blame should land. There is a lot of dull and poorly written dialogue that only restricts the characters to certain stereotypes. Even Blunt can't escape her bad lines. It seems as if there was no time and effort put into writing a script that could actually mold each character into something worth watching.
Another big problem lies in the narrative. Mystery films are often successful when they take time to build the story toward revelations and twists. Allowing the characters to envelop the world they're in and unknowingly make decisions that lead toward these events builds tension and makes a story worthwhile. This film does none of that. Revelations happen too fast, with no buildup whatsoever, and all but one of the twists fail to feel impactful in any way. This is mainly due to Taylor's uneven direction and the lack of a well-written script.
In the end, "The Girl on the Train" squanders its interesting source material. The whole thing feels more like a made-for-TV melodrama than a big-budget thriller. Poor direction, stale performances and a scattershot script send this film off the tracks before it can even leave the station.

Big 12 Weekly Rankings: Baylor leads in Week 8
▶ WESLEY DOTSON
@WesleyDee23
With an emphatic win over Kansas, Baylor showcased why it is the best team in the Big 12. West Virginia remains not too far behind with an impressive outing on defense against Texas Tech, and Texas appears to have life after a much-needed 27-6 win over Iowa State.
Kansas is left searching for answers on offense, specifically at the quarterback position. Quarterback Baker Mayfield has Oklahoma playing at a high-level. All that and more in this week's Big 12 Weekly Rankings.
BU
1. Baylor (Record: 6-0, 3-0 Big 12)
The Bears proved why they're the best team in the conference with its 49-7 drubbing of Kansas on Saturday. Its rushing attack continues to plow through every defense it has faced, and quarterback Seth Russell has made very few mistakes all season long.
WV
2. West Virginia (Record:
5-0, 2-0 Big 12)
This defense was impressive on Saturday, limiting Texas Tech and its high-octane offense to 17 points. Ball control (216.2 rushing yards per game) and a strong defense (ranked second in the Big 12) continue to be major keys for West Virginia.
Q
3. Oklahoma (Record: 4-2,
3-0 Big 12)
On a three-game winning streak, the Sooners seem to finally be back on track. Quarterback Baker Mayfield has been red hot. He threw four touchdowns passes against Kansas State on Saturday and now has the highest passer efficiency rating in the conference (180.4).
TCU
4. TCU (Record: 4-2, 2-1 Big 12)
TCU will be seeking an upset win when they travel to play West Virginia Saturday. The strong play of both quarterback Kenny Hill and the fifth-ranked defense this season gives TCU a chance for that potential upset.
OSU
5. Oklahoma State (Record; 4-2, 2-1 Big 12)
The Cowboys hope to secure their third-straight Big 12 victory this season against the Jayhawks on Saturday. The duo of quarterback Mason Rudolph and wide receiver James Washington has been strong all season, but there's no doubt they will be in for a tough task against what has been a stout Kansas defense.
TEXAS
6. Texas (Record: 3-3, 1-2 Big 12)
How about D'Onta Foreman? The Texas running back has been stellar as of late, and he picked up 136 yards in a much-needed victory over Iowa State on Saturday. He is averaging a conference-high 146.2 yards per game. The Texas defense also played much better, as it recorded eight sacks on Iowa State quarterbacks. The Long-horns appear to still have life in the Big 12.
C
7. Kansas State (Record:
3-3, 1-2 Big 12)
Quarterback play has been ugly for the Wildcats this season. They rank last in the Big 12 with 167 yards per game, and it's mostly due to the struggles of Jesse Ertz, who is coming off an ACL injury. He got banged up against Oklahoma, but he is expected to play against Texas. The defense has been able to keep the team in games, but K-State will need more from the quarterback position moving forward.
T
8. Texas Tech (Record:
3-3, 1-2 Big 12)
The duo of quarterback Patrick Mahomes II and wide receiver Jonathan Giles has been the best in the Big 12 this season, but they were non-existent in the loss to K-State. This high-octane offense will be looking to get back on track and hand West Virginia its first loss on Saturday.
KU
9. Kansas (Record: 1-5, 0-3 Big 12)
This offense has been disappointing. Quarterback Ryan Willis threw three other interceptions against Baylor and is clearly still developing. The rushing game is also troubling; it's been non-existent for most of the season. More importantly, Kansas coach David Beaty needs to make a decision on who will be the starting quarterback. The shared snaps, primarily between Willis and Montell Cozart, appear to be hurting the team.
STATE
10. Iowa State (Record:
1-6, 0-4 Big 12)
The rough year for the Cyclones continues. The offensive line for Iowa State has had very little protection for quarterback Joel Lanning, and the offense doesn't have any explosive playmakers. Its rushing attack which was supposed to be a strong suit - ranks only seventh in the Big 12 with 138.4 yards per game. The defense has also given up a conference-high 29 touchdowns this season.

Oklahoma State quarterback Mason Rudolph throws under pressure from Iowa State defenders Reggan Northrup and Kane Seeley in Stillwater, Okla., on Saturday, Oct. 8. The Jayhawks will take on Oklahoma State this weekend in their Homecoming game.
Notebook: Rudolph a new challenge, injury update
▶ BRIAN MINI
@brianminimum
In the past two weeks, Kansas has faced two of the top running quarterbacks in TCU's Kenny Hill and Baylor's Baker Mayfield. This week, the defense won't have to worry as much about quarterbacks scrambling out of the pocket.
Oklahoma State's Mason Rudolph sits at -14 rushing yards this year, but his 2,039 passing yards is third in the Big 12. Coach David Beaty referred to the junior as "as good of a manager as I've seen so far."
"He manages the ball really well, takes care of the
ball." Beaty said about Rudolph and Oklahoma State. "You're going to have to beat these guys. They're not going to beat themselves."
In last year's meeting, Rudolph passed for 305 yards and a touchdown.
"He's a big kid," defensive coordinator Clint Bowen said. "He'll scan the field and check it high to low ... he does a really good job of reading the coverage and making the correct throw."
Safety Tevin Shaw is a big part of that. Shaw said
Bowen's defense is currently second in the Big 12 in passing defense with 227.7 passing yards allowed per game.
that while "it's a little easier when it comes to fitting the run" when facing a less mobile quarterback, it's not "a huge change" for the secondary.
Offense isn't where Beaty wants it to be
Despite the defensive improvement this season, Kansas' offense is still lagging behind and is currently sitting at second to last in the Big 12, with 349.8 yards per game.
Beaty talked about the need to "be able to utilize our running backs in the passing game" as well as taking off the pressure from receivers LaQuvionte Gonzalez and Steven Sims Jr.
"We're going to try to get the ball in our guys' hands that we think [will] make the most happen as much as we can," Beaty said.
by finding a third receiver.
Sophomore quarterback Ryan Willis, who started the last two games for Kansas, says that Kansas just has to "bounce back and have a good week of practice" in order to improve this season.
Kansas' 23 points against TCU was the most the team has scored since the season opener, but the seven scored against Baylor last week tied for the lowest this season.
When asked about his
choice to continue going for it on fourth down, Beaty showed confidence in his offense saying "we will continue to be aggressive offensively when it comes to that."
There's a chance Joe Dineen Jr. doesn't return this season
Two weeks ago before Kansas' game against TCU, Beaty said that sophomore linebacker Joe Dineen Jr.s would be a game-time decision.
This week the news wasn't as positive.
"Well, I don't think we'll have him this week, and we're starting to get to a point to see if he's going to
be able to do it," Beaty said about the captain.
The former Free State linebacker had a breakout season last year, finishing the season with 86 tackles. Dineen had a promising start to the season with 10 total tackles, three tackles for a loss and a pass deflection in three games this season.
When asked about the possibility of redshirting Dineen, Beaty said, "If things don't work out, I think it would be a possibility. I hope we can get him back. I don't know if it's going to work out or not. It's giving him a lot of problems."

KU, OSU a story of wildly different passing games
13
Then-freshman quarterback Ryan Willis looks down field against Iowa State in 2015. Willis was named Kansas' starter on Oct. 3.

BRIAN MINI
@brianminimum
Kansas and Oklahoma State's passing offenses are at two very different places this point in the season. While the Cowboys are succeeding in the pass game, the Jayhawks are falling behind the rest of the Big 12.
During Tuesday's press conference, coach David Beaty described Oklahoma State quarterback Mason Rudolph as "as good of a manager as I've seen so far" and wide receiver James Washington as "one of more dynamic players in the conference."
"He had a nice day against us last year," Beaty said about the Cowboys' star wide receiver. "We have our work cut out for us again this year because he is a talented player."
Coming into the game, Oklahoma State's 350.5 passing yards per game is eighth in the NCAA.
The story is a little different for sophomore quarterback Ryan Willis and the Jayhawks' offense. Riddled by turnovers the first half of the season - the team is currently last in the NCAA with 22 turnovers - Beaty's evaluation of Willis' abilities is still ongoing. Beaty even left the door open for
another quarterback to take Willis' spot in the future.
"Now we have got a couple of games under his belt," Beaty said. "That's part of his evaluation as well, being able to continue to help grow him as well, and [redshirt freshman quarterback Carter Stanley] getting playing time the other day is
another piece of his evaluation. If we were playing well at the quarterback position you guys wouldn't be asking me these questions."
Interceptions were a problem in 2015 for Willis, but they're even more apparent this year. Even in Willis' best performance since Rhode Island, a 348-
yard passing game against TCU, he still threw three interceptions to zero touchdowns.
A theme for Kansas football this season has been building on strong practices and in-game performances. For Willis, it's been about moving on from those games.
"I need to bounce back from it, not dwell on it," he said. "I'm going to move forward."
The story has been almost the polar opposite for Rudolph in 2016.
With 13 passing touchdowns, the NFL prospect has kept Oklahoma State afloat this season. When
the Cowboys' defense gave up 38 points to Pittsburgh, Rudolph responded with 540 yards and two touchdowns, leading the team to 45 points.
In his last game against Iowa State, Rudolph threw for four touchdowns, one more than Willis has thrown for this entire season.
"We're going to have to find a way to quit being self-inflicted groups," Beaty said. "We have really improved in the area of penalties and not hurting ours in that area. Turnover margin has been atrocious and last in the country. You're not going to win many games when you turn the ball over eight times in two weeks or four times in a week."
Willis' interception issues haven't been lost in Beaty's evaluation. The second-year coach talked at length about the problem of "self-inflicted wounds."
Aside from turnovers, Beaty also stressed the importance for the offense to "utilize our running backs in the passing game," and said that the offense needed to get junior tight end Ben Johnson more involved.
If Kansas' passing offense is going to reach OSU's level, however, it's going to need to start with Willis, Beaty's go-to sophomore play caller.
Brew: Big 12 stronger than ever
First of all, the Big 12 is a Power Five conference for a reason. It contains some of the best schools in the nation when it comes to collegiate sports. For basketball, it has schools such as Kansas and West Virginia, for football Oklahoma and Texas, and for baseball TCU and Oklahoma State are within the top 20. It can't be said that the Big 12 is a weakening conference when it is represented at the top level of several of America's favorite sports.
▶ SHAUN GOODWIN
@ShaunGoodwin96
The smallest Power Five conference will be unchanged following Monday's decision by the Big 12 board of directors. Complaints can be heard once again about how the conference is weakening and unstable in light of this decision.
Much of the screaming and shouting about the Big 12 weakening tends to mostly be focused on football and the fact that it is so small compared to the other four power conferences. Naturally, a person would look to favor a larger conference, leading to more games to play and more teams competing. But, in a smaller conference, each game means that much more. One slip-up can be the difference between a title and falling just short of glory.
Secondly, the amount of money that the Big 12 brings in — along with the others in the Power Five —
If this kind of money does not indicate power and security, I don't know what does. As indicated by the expansion talks, there are many schools that would do anything to be a part of the Big 12 — the "dying conference."
completely dwarves that of the smaller conferences such as Big East and Mountain West. From a span ranging from 2014 to 2025, it is estimated that the Power Five will be bringing in, on average, $91 million annually per conference to split between its teams. Compare this to the average of $17.25 million annually that will be split between schools in the Big East or Mountain West.
Lastly, the Big 12 shows no signs of slowing down or giving up on the football front. For the first time since 2010, the Big 12 will once again hold a championship game. This game alone will bring in an extra $30 million to the conference. Not only that, but it will bring back a sense of competition to the conference that it has lacked in recent years.
Even the bottom-feeders in the conference, such as Kansas, are shaping up to be a formidable force within a few years. It's already starting to show signs of improvement in some facet, and as the weaker teams in the conference become more competitive, it can only go up from here.
Soccer takes on important weekend
SKYLAR ROLSTAD
@SkyRolSports
"The season is always like that, it always goes so fast," Kansas coach Mark Francis said. "I'm trying to reiterate that to the kids, to make the most of the opportunities right now, because you don't have too many left."
In Big 12 soccer, with only one match against each conference opponent the conference season goes by quickly.
The Kansas team doesn't have many opportunities to lock up a top position in the Big 12,but it does have some strong chances.
Currently in fourth,
Kansas - at 3-1-1 in Big 12 play - faces No.24 Baylor and Oklahoma this weekend. Kansas starts with Oklahoma, which is a spot in front of Kansas in conference with a 4-2 record. The Jayhawks will travel to Norman, Okla., to take on the Sooners.
They turn around Sunday to face the Baylor Bears, who stand in second in the Big 12 with a 4-1-1 record.
Clearly, it's a big weekend for Kansas to make a statement in the Big 12. Francis acknowledged the similarities between Kansas and the two opponents.
"They're very similar," Francis said. "They're both going to be good games
and I think either team can win the game. All of our Big 12 games have been like that, somebody on the day making a big play and somebody capitalizes."
Last season. Kansas came away with two wins over Baylor. The first was thanks to a game-winning header goal from Parker Roberts with five seconds remaining during the regular season. The next was a victory over the Bears in the Big 12 Tournament.
Oklahoma is an improved team since last season. The Sooners spent the first few weeks of the season ranked in the top ten, but has since dropped out of the Top 25 and is only receiving votes to be
ranked. However, the team is No. 9 in RPI.
They also received a week off between then and now. Francis said his team benefited from some time to rest.
After a difficult week that included a 1-0 loss to West Virginia and a 1-1 home draw to Oklahoma State, the Jayhawks are still receiving two votes to be ranked.
"It's nice, too, coming off a weekend off, you're not training this week having recovered from two games, you're training after having a weekend off," Francis said.

Marching Jayhawks prepare for special performance

Sharon Toulouse, assistant director of bands, directs the band into new formations for its upcoming show
Missy Minear/KANSAN
Under the gentle, sunlit sky of mid- October, the University marching band gathered in the football field-sized lot across from the Dole Institute.
This was day two of Homecoming Week rehearsal. Closing in on the 3:45 p.m. start time, the last few band members from the group of about 270 poured in and began to unpack their instruments.
In unison, the band dispersed and formed pockets bordering the inside of the lot, and each section began to quickly run through its halftime music.
This week included a special Earth, Wind & Fire medley. The medley will be part of a tribute performance which will feature the returning alumni band, who will be practicing with the Marching Jayhawks the Saturday morning of the game.
For Homecoming Week, this meant the band had exactly six rehearsals — including an abbreviated one the day of the parade — until the game against Oklahoma State on Saturday.
For the last home game against TCU, the band had four weeks of preparation for its space-themed routine.
"We have to design and select music, and write drills that we're able to learn and master in however much time we have from game to game." Director Matthew Smith said. "That's an important equation to figure out."
"This is my mace," Tristan Bartley, one of three drum majors for the band, said with a laugh as he pointed to the baton-like tool he uses for his commands.
But this week's cluttered schedule didn't seem a pressing issue for anyone there. Most of them could be seen laughing, laid back, enjoying each other's company.
As bits and pieces of "Boogie Wonderland" and "Let's Groove" continued to flow through the crowd of students, assistant director of the Marching Jayhawks Sharon Toulouse assumed her position atop the blue podium situated at about the 50-yard line.
"OK, guys," she said as she got the band's attention.
Like a battle-tested army of ants, the band assumed its marks at center swiftly, with about thirty rows divided by type of instrument.
Behind them, their instruments and cases — ranging anywhere from piccolos and trumpets to trombones and baritones — now laid together in the grass.
"Sing and count," Toulouse said. "Check your diagonals and Ws."
Toulouse, a 1998 alumna, read from her formation notes as she made sure bows in the pass-throughs and small mistakes were being smoothed in the process.
Once in the marching band herself, Toulouse
can remember when she was in the same position as the band members she directs.
"I loved Homecoming Weekend," she said. "Getting to see the people that come back and those who might've just graduated that I got to see again was great."
From Corpus Christi, Texas. Toulouse made her way through the music education program at the University while performing as a trumpet player for the Marching Jayhawks. By her senior year she had become a drum major and collected a variety of fond memories from her homecoming weekends.
"
What kind of day is it?
Matthew Smith Band director
It's a great day to be a Jayhawk."
"One of the things I remember the most is the hot cider," Toulouse said. "There were only two times a year that we got donuts and cider. It's that chilly fall feeling. I just loved that. I don't know why that sticks in my head, but it does."
Barnes, who retired last May after 40 years with the University's bands, once taught and composed for the music department in a variety of roles.
An important figure for the Marching Jayhawks during her time with the band was former Associate Director of Bands James Barnes.
Saturday, Barnes will be commemorated during the halftime performance. In addition to the halftime honor, the band rehearsal room in Murphy Hall will be named after him during a celebration later that night.
"He's such as prolific part of the marching band on the music side of things," Toulouse said. "He was even at the rehearsals and barking orders at us, which was
At the rehearsal, Toulouse's own amplified instruction began to take form through the band's performance. The tribute show was rounding into form.
great."
Before the end of rehearsal, the band ran through the show a few times with its instruments.
Atop one of the drum major ladders during this final run-through was Jamie Venzian, a former clarinet player in her senior year. She said she's indebted to the band for reasons other than a title on a resume.
Nearly two weeks before the rehearsal, Venzian arrived to Centennial Park believing to have been going to breakfast with her roommate. It was Oct. 1, what she remembers as the same day as Late Night in the Phog.
Instead, her long-time boyfriend and 2015 alumnus Kenneth Rifkin was standing right outside the park gazebe. They met on the first day of band practice her freshman year.
"I ended up sitting next to him because the section leaders needed to sit next to a freshman," she said of their man. "So we randomly ended up being the two next to each other for that rehearsal."
Now facing the final homecoming weekend of her college career, Venzian hopes she can return in the future to perform with the alumni band and show an appreciation for how much the experience has meant to her.
As the rehearsal drew to a close, the sun began to hide behind the afternoon clouds and band members started wiping off the sweat that ran down their face from the hours of drill work.
Smith quickly called everyone in for a final word, a traditional sendoff before they leave after every game and rehearsal.
"What kind of day is it?" Smith said. "It's a great day to be a Jayhawk."

Parade upholds KU traditions

The 95-year-old University homecoming parade tradition continues this Friday morning.
▶ SAMANTHA SEXTON
@Sambiscuit
n keeping with a 95-year-old tradition, the University's Homecoming Week will feature the culmination of all things Jayhawks in the annual parade this Friday.
"The parade is the finishing touch on a great week of KU pride," said Emma Berger, the parade's co-chair. "It's certainly my favorite part of the whole week."
The parade begins at 111th Street in downtown Lawrence and continues down
Massachusetts Street to 7th Street. This year will feature around 15 floats as well as 45 other entries. Other features of the parade will range from decorated vehicles to high school dance troupes to participants from the Lawrence community.
"The parade used to only happen on campus and only recently has it been moved downtown," Katie Gerard, the director of homecoming, said. "I think it's so much better having it downtown because it's a great way to get
the community involved and show what the University can do for the area."
it's a great way to get the community involved."
Katie Gerard Director of homecoming
Gerard said that, other than the football game itself, the homecoming parade
is one of the more popular events of the week, drawing in locals as well as students.
"We had hundreds come and see the show last year, despite the rain," Gerard said. "This year's parade will be just as good with hopefully more people if the weather is good."
With clear autumn skies in the forecast, Berger and Gerard said they're excited to see the result of their efforts come alive at 6 p.m. this Friday on Massachusetts Street.

Kyle Clemons Bob Davis named Grand Marshals
▶ TANNER HASSELL @thassell17
Homecoming at the University is a week of tradition, and a popular time for alumni and fans to converge on campus. Over the years, the position of Homecoming Parade Grand Marshal has been filled by many notable alumni and friends of the University. This year, Olympic gold medal winner Kyle Clemons and longtime Kansas sports radio personality Bob Davis will lead the parade through downtown Lawrence.
Clemons, a former 400-meter sprinter at the University, won a gold medal in the 4-x-400 meter relay at the 2016 Rio De Janeiro Summer Olympics this past August, according to the release. He received All-American honors from 2011-13 and was a two-time Big 12 Champion in 2013.
Davis was the play-by-play voice of football and men's basketball from 1984 until his retirement in April. He covered eight of the Jayhawks' 14 Final Four appearances, two basketball national championships, and six
football bowl games during his tenure, according to a University release.
Davis said he was pleasantly surprised to be nominated as one of the Grand Marshals and honored to join the list of notable people to be nominated for the role.
"It was nice of the Alumni Association to do that, and I'm sure it'll be an enjoyable ride. It'll be an interesting experience; I've never done anything quite like that before," he said. "You look through the list of people who've been Grand Marshal and it's a wide range of different people who've really done a lot. It's really nice of them to honor the old announcer."

Davis said he's excited for an opportunity to meet his fellow Grand Marshal.
"I think it'll be interesting to meet Kyle, maybe he'll bring his gold medal so we can all take a look at it," he said.
Meeting up with old friends and fellow alumni is what Clemons is looking forward to the most.

Jayhawks look to impress in homecoming game
▶ SEAN COLLINS
@seanzie. UDK
This Saturday, the Jayhawks get their chance at redemption on their home turf against the Oklahoma State Cowboys. In their last home stand, the Jayhawks suffered a heartbreaking 24-23 loss to the Horned Frogs.
In their last two games home games against the Cowboys, the Jayhawks kept it a one-score game. This time, they get the opportunity to do so again in front of a homecoming
crowd, and with a new look.
Last Wednesday, the team was presented with brand new uniforms that feature a limestone theme. The blue is textured and the numbers on the jerseys look like limestone brick, to go with the "Rock Chalk" theme of homecoming.
"When you see the jersey and you know that you are going to be out there looking good it's just fun," senior defensive lineman Damani Mossy said. "With the uniforms and the crowds coming back, we are confident going in."
2014 was the last time Oklahoma State visited Memorial Stadium, when defensive coordinator Clint Bowen was interim head coach. Despite playing the Cowboys well, Bowen stressed that each meeting is different from the last.
"In the Big 12, it truly is a week-to-week scenario," Bowen said. "We've got to work on putting together a plan that we think gives our kids the best chance to execute and win...Oklahoma State is doing the same thing, so we will see on Saturday."
While the Jayhawks have struggled this year, currently holding a 1-5 record, the homecoming atmosphere and new uniforms have given the team an extra boost in their step.
"Everybody knows the saying 'you look good, you play good.' That's all it is, really," Mosby said. "When they showed the team when we were in the meeting room, jerseys and everything, you should've seen the reaction from everybody."
The parade, the floats and the alumni are to be represented, and coach David Beaty doesn't want to disappoint the crowd.
The team doesn't take homecoming for granted.
"Our job is, very simply, to win the game when it comes to homecoming, that's really our goal... to take care of that part," Beaty said.
Oklahoma -State is 4-2 on the season and is coming off two victories against Texas and Iowa State.
on themselves. They don't want to sell themselves short in front of a homecoming crowd, and they certainly don't want to lose.
"I want to win," Mosby said. "Who doesn't want to win? I just hope that we play complementary football, and we all read our keys and do what we are supposed to do. We are all capable of it. There's nothing that should stop us from playing well."

Homecoming Steering Committee sponsors children's book drive
JOSH MCQUADE
@L0NeW0lfMcQuade
The Homecoming Steering Committee will be sponsoring the Lawrence for Literacy Children's Book Drive on Thursday, Oct.20.
The committee reached out to United Way of Douglas County to bring the drive to the University.
"We have done events like this in the past, but we wanted to change it up a bit," Katie Gerard, the director of the Homecoming Steering Committee. said.
The committee will be collecting children's books at the Alumni Center on
Thursday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. However, donated books have to meet certain criteria.
"We recommend children's books, books that are gently used and books that have no violence or degrading of sexuality or religion," said Annie Foster, community outreach member of the Homecoming Steering Committee.
Books collected at the drive will be donated to programs that improve children's literacy outside of school in order to assist the children in their education. The books will also be going to less fortunate children whose families
cannot afford books for them to read.
Each book donated will earn one point for the student organization that donates it. Each organization can earn up to 100 points, but the top three organizations will also win an extra 125, 100 or 75 points, respectively.
If you miss the time frame to donate the books at the Alumni Center, the United Way of Douglas County will be accepting the donations, but not for points.

BSU honors history, tradition with annual pageant
ELLE CLOUSE
@Elle_Clouse
Woodruff Auditorium was transformed into a glitz and glam haven on Sunday evening for the Black Student Union's annual homecoming pageant.
Kaylisa Estes, the president of the Black Student Union, said that despite the new features and upgrades every year, the homecoming pageant is a long-standing tradition.
"We first started this back in the 60s. We started
it because we weren't allowed to be at KU's homecoming. So we had our own Homecoming Week, and we always kicked it off with a pageant," Estes said.
Contestants included Kasi Ross II, a freshman from Wichita; Troy Caldwell-Day, a freshman from Detroit, Mich.; Precious Edgar, a junior from Kansas City, Kan.; Camille Patrick, a freshman from Wichita; and Barbara Arrington, a freshman from Harvey, Ill.
Estes and Cameron Long, the vice president of Phi Beta Sigma, emceed the event. Once the guests shuffled into their seats, Estes and Long thanked everyone for coming to the event and said that the event awards scholarship prizes to the contestants.
After the contestants' introductions, the pageant began with the activewear category, followed by the talent portion.
Patrick performed a spoken word piece titled
"The Skin I'm In," which focused on the struggles and triumphs she has endured.
"The skin I'm in is black, beautiful - the perfect melanin. I hope to live to see the day that more people are genuine," Patrick said in her piece."
Following the talent portion was an intermission, then the ballroom portion, where contestants wore a formal outfit of their choice.
Edgar sang a rendition of Drake's "Hotline Bling" when she took the stage.
The interview section was the last portion of the evening. Each contestant was asked to answer the same question regarding a Supreme Court ruling. While each contestant gave their answer, the
others waited patiently just outside of the venue.
The skin I'm in is black, beautiful the perfect melanin. I hope to live to see the day that more people are genuine."
Camille Patrick Pageant contestant
"The Supreme Court has ruled in favor of employees being able to discriminate and ban dreadlocks in the workplace. Do you feel that this was a fair decision made?" asked pageant director Brianna Chatmon.
Ross, who later won Best Oratory for males, said he didn't agree with the ruling.
"I think everything is okay in moderation. If your hair is taken care of and you're clean and you're groomed, then I don't feel that dreadlocks are a problem. Also, that's not stopping you from completing the task at work," Ross said.
After a short break, the emces presented the results to the waiting crowd and contestants.
"Drumroll please," Long said, drawing out a dramatic pause. "For our queen, we have Miss Barbara. For our king, we have Mr. Kasi."

FRASER
+
The original Fraser Hall was built in 1872 and named after the second University chancellor, John Fraser. In 1967, the new iconic building was built in its place and given the same name.
WESCOE
Originally intended to be a 25-story structure overlooking Mt. Oread, the original plans for Wescoe Hall were cut down to four floors due to budget concerns. Wescoe was finally dedicated in 1973, and bears the name of the chancellor who served when the plans first began, W. Clarke Wescoe.
STRONG
What was previously known as just the Ad building (ad for administration) was later named after the University's sixth chancellor, Frank Strong, who served from 1902 to 1920.
LIPPINCOTT
What is now the study abroad building used to be the original law school, Green Hall. In 1977 the law school was relocated to the new Green Hall, on the west end of campus. In 1979 the old building was dedicated as Lippincott hall after Chancellor Joshua A. Lippincott, who served from 1883 to 1889.
SPENCER MUSEUM OF ART
The University's art collection was previously housed in Spooner Hall. The Spencer Museum of Art was built in 1978 after a donation of $4.6 million from Kansas City art patron Helen Foresman Spencer.
MARVIN
Originally the engineering building, Marvin was named after the first dean of the engineering school, Frank O. Marvin. He was also the son of the third chancellor of the University, James Marvin.

SNOW
Snow Hall is named for Francis Snow, who served as chancellor from 1890 to 1901. During his tenure, the endowment association was created, the first yearbook printed and the first woman faculty member was hired.
WATSON LIBRARY
Watson Library was built in 1924 and named after the University's longest-serving librarian, Carrie M. Watson, according to KU History.
BAILEY
ionles
Although it was built in 1900, Bailey Hall was named after chemistry professor and department head E.H.S. Bailey in 1938. Bailey is credited with creating the well-known "Rock Chalk" chant still heard on campus today.
BUDIG
In 1991, Hoch Auditoriae was struck by lightning, burning the building to the ground. The chancellor at the time, Gene A. Budig, led the effort to rebuild. Although Budig left the University in 1994, the new building, dedicated in 1997, bears his name.
STAUFFER-FLINT
CHALMERS
The Journalism building was named after former professor and department head Leon "Daddy" Flint in 1952. Later, a donation from Oscar Stauffer of Topeka gave the building it's two-name title.
Previously known as the "Art and Design" building, Chalmers was given its namesake last year in honor of Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers, who held the position during the tumultuous years of 1969-1972.
ANSCHUTZ LIBRARY
Named after alumnus Philip Anschutz, the library was dedicated in 1992 as a thanks for Anschutz's $6.5 million donation to the library endowment fund. A 1999 article in Fortune magazine called him "the richest American you've never heard of."
DYCHE
Dyche Hall, which houses the University's Natural History Museum, was built in 1903 after a long funding battle with the Kansas legislature. Lewis Lindsay Dyche, known for his animal panorama still visible in the museum today, advocated for the hall. The building was named for Dyche upon his death in 1915.
SPOONER
Built in 1894 and originally used as a library, Spooner Hall was the result of a $91,000 gift left to the University by William B. Spooner. Spooner, a Boston leather merchant, was the great uncle of Chancellor Francis Snow.

Andrew Rosenthal/KANSAN Halloween in the Halls
Tiny vampires and princesses filled Daisy Hill residence halls Sunday night during the third annual Halloween in the Halls event.
Vanessa Lovelace, the vice president of the Apartment Living Association, explained the purpose of the event, which was hosted in Daisy Hill Commons and in the floor lobbies of Hashinger and Lewis halls.
"Since it's a college town, kids don't really have a lot of safe places to trick-or-treat. So this provides them with a safe community to happily trick-or-treat," Lovelace said.
According to Lovelace, the event is largely dependent on volunteer and resident involvement.
"We have lots of volunteers for it. All the hall governments are involved with the planning," Loveace said. "This is our third year doing it. We normally start planning at the beginning of the school year."

This year's event was slightly different than
previous ones because of a new facility, Daisy Hill Commons, which attracted more student help, Lovelace said.
"It's a little different, because now we have Daisy Hill Commons," she said. "So I think it's more involved with the students. There are more people doing it than in past years, which is great."
Abbey Harris, president of Hashinger Hall's Arts Council, explained the process that transforms each floor from typical to magical. And it all starts with a theme.
"This year we went with Pixar," Harris said. Then, each floor gets its own movie. The fourth floor is Monsters Inc., and [the sixth] floor is Finding Nemo. We decided to go with something really family-friendly, something that everyone could
enjoy."
Kylie Van Buren, a freshman resident of Lewis Residence Hall, said she enjoyed helping out.
"We helped decorate; it was pretty smooth once

people started coming out and helping," Van Buren said.
"I think they've definitely received it really well; I think it's been a big hit with them so far," Harris said, "Even the parents seemed really excited about it."

Search for next chancellor begins
Baxter Schanze/KANSAN Chancellor Benadette Gray-Little announced earlier this semester that she will step down in Summer 2017. The Board of Regents has begun the process of choosing the firm that will search for her replacement.

The Board of Regents has begun the process of choosing the search firm that will conduct the search for Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little's replacement.
According to the Request For Proposal document, which was created by the Regents earlier this month and presented at their monthly meeting on Oct. 19, search firms were asked to send in their proposals by Oct.21.
Regents Communications Director Breeze Richardson said seven firms have submitted proposals.
Richardson said the Regents are aiming to choose a firm by the end of the year. They will also determine whether or not the search will be closed and appoint members to the search committee, according to the document.
Richardson said they hope to make these decisions during the regular November or December meetings, but calling a special meeting may be necessary.
When Gray-Little was hired in 2009, the Regents used the R. William Funk and Associate firm. The same firm also hired Provest Neeli Bendapudi last year.
The document, which was provided by the Regents, includes an outline of the search firm's responsibilities. One of the listed responsibilities says the search firm must be able to manage the application materials in a way that "preserve[s] the confidentiality of all prospective candidates for the position."
Richardson said the Regents have not yet decided whether or not the search will be closed, but they want the firm they choose to have the capacity to conduct a closed search if the Regents do make that decision.
"That option needs to stay on the table," she said. "The purpose of that document is to make sure you're clear on what you're expectations are, so a firm is
The requirements also indicate the search will begin next month and conclude in June 2017, with the new chancellor taking on the office beginning as close to July 1, 2017 as possible. The chosen firm will also be required to form a search committee of at least 15 people from the University or larger community.
able to acknowledge and speak to the various aspects you are looking for in a proposal," she said.
search committee.
Last week, the University's Senate Executive committee, made up of representatives from the student, faculty and staff senates, wrote a letter to the Regents asking that elected representatives from the three governance organizations be included on the
"Only in this way can we insure that all stakeholders on campus can have a voice in the process,"the statement said. "And it is crucial that students, faculty and staff, as well as community leaders, play a vital role in selecting the next Chancellor—especially in light of the challenges of weapons on campus, and achieving great diversity, equity and inclusion."
The letter also included a request that the Regents allow finalists to interact with the University community through public presentations and question-and-answer sessions.
▶ CHANDLER BOESE @Chandler_Boese
Graduate students at the University will not see any changes in their health benefits due to a recent decision by several federal departments, according to a spokesperson for the Kansas Board of Regents.
Earlier this month, the University informed its graduate employees that it would no longer be able to pay 75 percent of their health insurance premiums due to a stipulation in the Affordable Care Act. The change would have taken effect in August 2017.
On Friday, an FAQ document on ACA was updated by the U.S. Department of Labor, Department of Health and Human Services and Department of the Treasury. Despite earlier indications that they would prevent universities from offering subsidies, they decided in Friday's update to indefinitely extend the interpretation of the law that universities have been operating under.
"Colleges and universities have premium reduction arrangements for graduate student health coverage that are often part of a large and complex admission offer and acceptance process," the document said. "Additionally, Congress evidenced an intent in the Affordable Care Act to preserve the ability of institutions of higher education to continue offering student health insurance plans otherwise permitted under applicable Federal, State, or local law."
In an email late Friday afternoon, Breeze Richardson, the communications director for the Kansas Board of Regents, confirmed that the Regents will follow the guidance from the federal departments.
In the email, which was a forwarded response to an inquiry from another media outlet, Richardson said since the Department's ruling was the only reason the Regents were working toward another solution, there is now no reason to stop offering the subsidies currently in place.
"We are extremely pleased about this latest decision and hope that the federal agencies involved will make it a permanent one," she said.
According to Richardson, officials at universities across the state were informed of this development on Friday. University officials were not immediately available for comment.

John League - Hillary Clinton supporter, CoPresident for Jayhawks for Hillary, Colorado Springs, Colo.
Why do you think your candidate will win the election in November?
I think Hillary has garnered a lot of support in states that are kind of pivotal to the election, for good or for worse. If we look at the polls, even popular vote, she's up significantly. Electoral college, it's looking towards a landslide. I think people see the kind of radicalness of Donald Trump and are faulting to something they know will be a little more stable, or something they're more familiar with.
Well, it's not too hard to beat Donald Trump. His ideology is rather incoherent at times."
John League Clinton supporter
What has been the biggest obstacle in your candidate's campaign, and how well do you think they handled it?
I think the largest obstacle facing Hillary was, of course, the email scandal. Personally, I think the scandal was kind of dumb. Just considering how much is going on with the
scandal, and how easily the situation could have been avoided by just having two email addresses. Saying that, I think she's handled the situation rather well.
What is the main reason you choose to support your candidate?
I chose Hillary since the beginning. I think her experience working in the public sector has been very influential on my vote. I personally believe that we should elect the most qualified person to office. If someone has an idea of what they're doing, chances, are they're going to do a better job.
Well, it's not too hard to beat Donald Trump. His ideology is rather incoherent at times, self-defeating at others, and all-in-all, very radical in my opinion. I think Hillary Clinton is a much more centered candidate and will provide continued stability in the United States economy and in the world.
What makes your candidate a better choice than the other?
Garrett Miller - Donald Trump supporter, Regional Field Director, Chanute, Kan,
I can understand why you'd be undecided. I, too, have been trying to put off this election. I think that if you look at the track record and personal attitudes of each candidate, you'd see that Hillary Clinton is not only a better candidate, but she's also a better person.
What would you tell an undecided voter to sway them to vote for your candidate?
Why do you think your candidate will win the election in November?
I think when people actually look at the laws, Hillary Clinton clearly broke a US code, 2071 Section B. It says if you mutilate any information, I'm paraphrasing, if you destroy any evidence of anything, you should never have an office within the United States. So, therefore, I think that's a discredit to her. One of Trump's main talking points is Hillary Clinton has been a career politician for the past 30 plus years, we've seen her record. When you look into conservatism, though, and you see how free markets are, and when you have less regulation, you see people and businesses grow.
What has been the biggest obstacle in your candidate's campaign, and how well do you think they handled it?
Some of the things that he's said in the past have come back and really bit him. The whole conversation with Billy Bush, that really hurt him with the women voters. You could probably pull up statements from all the politicians where they've said things, there's probably a paper trail for a lot of other people. He's apologized for it.
I'm kind of new to politics, I never really wanted
What is the main reason you choose to support your candidate?
to get into them. But, the way that Trump was saying things, it was some things that people are scared to talk about. And I think the way that Trump talks about it, he gets people that have been outcasted for years, he's got them paying attention to the election.
If Hillary gets elected, it'll put the country further down into a spiral."

THE
What makes your candidate a better choice than the other?
Obama's been kind of a let down for a lot of people I think and with some of the things that Hillary has said, it's just going to be another four to eight years of a Barack Obama presidency. If Hillary gets elected, it'll put the country further down into a spiral.
What would you tell an undecided voter to sway them to vote for your candidate?
Look at the Wikileaks, look at the Project Veritas videos, look at Hillary's voting records, look at her policies that she's enacted. What I would tell an undecided voter is stop listening to the grocery store aisle rhetoric, that you're seeing with the locker room, with the comments that he's said about different people and look at the actual policies.

None of the new facts alleged support a claim of deliberate indifference by the University."
KU opposes motion to amend Title IX case, says it did not deliberately mislead Tackett
University response to the motion to amend complaint
CONNER MITCHELL
@connermitchellO
The University filed a response Friday in federal court opposing Daisy Tackett's motion to amend and include new information in her Title IX complaint.
The new information alleges the University was deliberately indifferent and misled Tackett regarding the disciplinary actions for the student she said sexually assaulted her. The response argues Tackett's claims are "futile."
"None of the new facts alleged support a claim of deliberate indifference by the University," the response says.
Tackett's motion to amend her complaint said she was notified in February that the Office for Institutional Opportunity and Access recommended that the student be permanently expelled from the University. On March 18, the University informed Tackett that the student had been withdrawn from the University as of March 17.
said he would "[be] allowed to withdraw in lieu of expulsion."
The University's response argues Tackett "knew, or should have known" about the status of the student due to clear communications from University administrators made to her and her attorney.
The motion also says media reports surfaced in September indicating the student received a different letter than Tackett, which
"Even if Plaintiff misunderstood Dr. [Tammara] Durham's March 18,2016 letter, the facts do not support Plaintiff's claims that the University was deliberately indifferent to her when it acted to remove John Doe G from campus," the response says.
Another point of contention in Tackett's motion surrounds the nonacademic misconduct notation placed on the student's transcript at the time of his withdrawal from the University. The motion argues that the lack of specificity of the notation allowed the student to enroll and play football at another university. A number of reasons could have contributed to the student's enrollment at another university, the University's response says, but the University itself is not at fault.
"...[The] University of Kansas did not and does not have an affirmative duty to
Plaintiff to ensure that John Doe G never finishes his education at another university," the response reads.
Dan Curry, Tackett's lawyer, previously told the Kansan if the University opposed the motion to amend the complaint, a judge would have to rule on whether the new information would be included in the original complaint.
"We felt it necessary to amend to include these new facts which have just come to light," Curry said. "We thought it would be appropriate to paint the whole picture of what was going on with those representations."

Bertels: How to heal our less-than-perfect union
---
▶ ELLEN BERTELS @ellenbertels
This weekend, I visited my brother in Washington, D.C. It was a wonderful trip. We spent 48 hours eating, wandering and visiting historical monuments I have wanted to see since I was young.
Despite the election being less than a month away, D.C., the seat of our government, did not feel as embroiled in mayhem as I expected. The busy weekend was a reprieve from the 24-hour news cycle, but the monuments and memorials, the Capitol building and White House, made me think.
On Saturday, I sat at the Lincoln Memorial, thinking about the
election but, thankfully, not being bombarded by it. Sitting on those steps, I realized for the first time the detachment some people might feel from our government. All of these grand and imposing monuments. All of these beautiful but untouchable buildings filled to the brim with people, all with their own ideals, ultimatums and intentions — do they think about us, their constituents, those tiny dark spots on the stairs of that great structure? And, in turn, do we feel that our values are being accurately considered and responded to at an institutional level?
In short: Do our leaders represent us? Does this election represent us?
I do not mean to be cynical or anti-establishment. To be honest, I am hesitant to write this. I am not a political analyst. I know just enough about social contract theory to get myself in trouble. But as an individual who values respectful, thoughtful discourse, who believes in what now seems like the naive ideal of bipartisan politics, I can't help but feel disillusioned by this entire election cycle. For the first time in my
For most people I know, the answer is no. For myself, the answer is no.
Something is broken. We talk now about the need for change, the need for solutions, but the need to see ourselves through this election overshadows all efforts to fix, or even identify, the underlying issue. We cannot have sense, it feels, while the madness continues.
For the past few months, I have longed for the deadline of Nov. 9. That morning, it seems, the clock will strike. That morning, the carriage will become once more the pumpkin we know it to be. Not ideal, but at least familiar.
life, I wonder who in politics has the voters' best interests - our nation's best interests - at heart when making decisions.
At the same time, I do not believe our political system will right itself without a change. If we want better representation, we have to act. We cannot just sit idly by.
First, of course, we have to vote. My friend Will makes a decent case for why voting is necessary for creating change in politics.
I am not so sure anymore.
After Election Day, we need to educate ourselves on issues that we find important - tax policy, immigration, civil rights. Find a
candidate whose history voting or governing aligns with your ideals Hold candidates responsible for their actions, both personal and political.
More than anything, we should not allow ourselves to become so disillusioned we stop participating in the process altogether. Even if we hate this election cycle. Even if we do not feel represented. Relinquishing our sense of responsibility over the situation does nothing to change our luck; detaching from a system because of frustration is a selfish act.
Our country will never be perfect. I am an idealist, but a pragmatic one. We are not ever likely to see a utopian society, or even a candidate who perfectly represents our viewpoints. But if we integrate civic engagement into our everyday lives, if we take personal responsibility in demanding better representation, perhaps politics will cease to be an immense, untouchable monument. If we so choose, the country can be as it was meant to be - for the people, by the people.

Adamson: Homecoming not inclusive enough
YOUNG WILSON
▶ LAUREN ADAMSON
@LeAdamson
I am a fourth-generation Jayhawk. My great-grandfather received a law degree here, my grandparents got engaged at Potter Lake and my mom and her brothers all chose to attend the University as out-of-state students. I learned the Rock Chalk chant with my ABCs, and I refused to
wear anything but my KU cheerleader outfit from the ages of three to six.
However, none of my relatives are attending the University's homecoming celebration this weekend. Of course, many alumni do return for the tradition that began in 1912. I will never forget meeting Rob Riggle in the Oread's pizza shop during my freshman year after the homecoming football game. However, the people I know would all prefer to tour the campus on a quieter weekday and attend a basketball game in the Phog rather than partake in the frivolous "traditions" that we now know as homecoming.
The lights decorating the Greek houses seem
overwrought. The skit competition, trivia night, and, in fact, most of the celebrations seem only to appease the University's apparent need to continue making the homecoming tradition bigger and better. It seems most activities only appeal to the Greek life subsection of the population and are barely advertised elsewhere. While a few other student groups participate in the parade, I would argue the most that the average student will see of homecoming is chalk drawings of "Super Hawks" in capes on Wescoe Beach.
So, what does homecoming mean, really? With a football game that is far from sold out and a mostly
uninterested student body, it seems that the traditional joy of coming back and celebrating our beloved University is no longer a way to unite generations of passionate Jayhawks.
"
The Ex.C.E.L awards, dedication of new buildings and Lawrence for Literacy Children's Book Drive are admirable homecoming activities, but ones that seem to be under-advertised and under-attended.
So, what does homecoming mean, really?"
We should consider revising our homecoming traditions to better appeal to all of those who know and love the magic that is the University and -Lawrence. The planning committee should make an effort to move the celebration away from just the Greek community and include all of the amazing, diverse groups and students on campus, and they should try harder to create spaces where alumni and current students can meet and share stories of their time here.

Kansan: What's the weirdest thing you've experienced while on tour so far?
Buress: In my Seattle show, there was a guy waiting outside across the street from the venue in a big foot/sasquatch costume or something. Like with a camera and tripod setup. I guess he was waiting to interview me, but people let me know that he was out there. He didn't ask, he was just waiting out there. I just thought that was kind of weird, so I went out a separate door.
Kansan: What is bringing musical talents with you on stage, for you?
Buress: It's kind of what I started in. I hosted rap shows; I hosted open mics. And I'm a big rap fan so for me, it's an opportunity to bring something different to the show, make it more of a variety. Sometimes it works for people and sometimes people don't enjoy it. People don't know what happened and say 'what is this?' and then there's people that are excited to find out about somebody they didn't know about. Or someone is excited to see someone they are a fan of and they didn't expect them to perform. It's mostly, for me, just trying to bring another energy to the table.
Kansan: Social media is big on college campuses, which actually takes me back to when you were in college at Southern Illinois University. Give me an idea of what the college Hannibal Buress Twitter would look like?
Kansan: Now toward your current tour, you haven't been known as someone who spends a lot of time talking politics. With the election coming up, do you feel you have an onus to talk about that? Are people expecting you to?
Burress: My college twitter [Laughs]. I think it would be me probably talking about ... in my college campus we had this fake security called Saluki patrol. Our mascot at SIU Carbondale was the Saluki, which is like an Egyptian hunting dog. But they were other students, so they
were just meddling and being annoying, so I would complain about them. I actually did a lot of stand-up about them.
You know what was big when I was in college? There was this website called CollegeClub.com. CollegeClub was a site - it predated Facebook a little bit where, you know, if you were in college you could set up a profile and meet people that went to other colleges. So I had a friend, his name was Raven. And he would meet girls and then we would crash at their spots. We went to a couple different college towns and just kicked it and stayed at people's houses that he met off CollegeClub. I remember we went to Nashville, which was for Tennessee's homecoming. This may be the year 2000 or 2001. Back then what they did, that shit was crazy. Like, "What are you talking about? You're meeting these girls online and you're driving to their house?" We were using a straight-up map to get there.
Buress: There's no obligation. I mean it's an interesting thing to talk about; it's an easy thing to make jokes about. But I don't feel obligated to talk about it. It's not like a thing where I'm like 'I got to do it because the people want to hear it.' I've got a few things to say about it, just like how I have a few things to say about the TSA or traveling or girls or sports. It's just politics. It doesn't dominate my act.
Kansan: On your new tour that's coming through Kansas City, what new topics have you become interested in, that people maybe haven't heard in your specials "Live From Chicago" or "Comedy Camisado?"
Burress: I talk about dying and buying a building. A lot about death. Just talking about funerals. I went to a funeral earlier this year and I just explore why I didn't like this particular funeral and what I would have done differently.
Kansan: Tell me about your new podcast "Handsome Rambler." Give me a taste of what we can look forward to?
Buress: People can expect me just talking. It's me and my DJ, Tony Trimm. We're talking and telling stories. Talk about what's happening on the road. I give advice to fans. We'll see. It'll maybe change over time. I just want to out the medium for a little bit and see how things go. Hopefully people connect to it, but if they don't it's okay. It's not the end of the world.
Kansan: To finish off, tell me about your time working on James Franco and Seth Rogen's "The Masterpiece" and what that was like?
Buress: It was cool, man. I was a big fan of the original "The Room." It was really funny and just weird. It was a cult classic for how bad it was. So when I heard they were making a movie about the making of that movie, I was all the way in. I'm just excited because that movie "The Room" was so bad. It was cool, I think I just worked one day on that. Franco was locked in. He was in his Tommy Wiseau makeup and was on point.

"The Weapon of Mass Instruction," a mobile public art installation in Buenos Aires. This week, the Spooner Hall Commons will host "Trans/forming Activist Media in the Americas." a symposium exploring activist movements
Activist media symposium brings artists, scholars to KU
▶ COURTNEY BIERMAN
@courtbierman
The Spooner Hall Commons will welcome a series of artists and scholars this week for a symposium titled "Trans/forming Activist Media in the Americas."
The symposium, organized by three University professors, will explore how activist movements in the Americas are influenced by the migration of people and ideas across various forms of media, electronic or otherwise.
"What we originally were really looking at is that over the last two decades or so, the development and spread of digital technologies in particular has presented some new
possibilities for activist media broadly, whether at the kind of informational or news level, or at the kind of disruptive, artistic activist media level," said Joshua Miner, a professor in film and media studies.
Miner contributed by adding documentaries and speakers to the schedule that highlight the struggles of indigenous communities. Other events focus on issues such as environmental destruction, education, housing, mass incarceration and the media that activists use to spread related information. Notable performers include rapper Bocafoja and keynote speaker Maurice Rafael Magaña.
Joo Ok Kim, another symposium organizer and a
professor in the department of American Studies, said Trans/forming Activist Media shows that the internet is not the only form of activism available to students.
"I also wanted a venue in which to center ground-up, grassroots youth activism in a context where we might not necessarily think about it unless you're studying radical activisms or contemporary Mexican culture or different formations of Latin American histories," Kim said. "It seemed really significant to foreground a conversation like that, especially in a place like Kansas."

Kansas doomed by turnovers again in OSU loss
▶ WESLEY DOTSON
@WesleyDee23
Going into Saturday's homecoming game against Oklahoma
State, Kansas had committed 22 turnovers, the most in the nation.
That problem continued against Oklahoma State (5-2, 3-1 Big 12) at Memorial Stadium, and it's a glaring reason why Kansas (1-6, 0-4 Big 12) lost its sixth straight game, 44-20. Kansas committed three turnovers through the afternoon.
"The telling stat, for me, is the 17 points off turnovers [that Oklahoma State scored]," Kansas coach David Beaty said after the game.
Down 17-13 during the Jayhawks' first drive of the second half, senior running back Ke'aun Kinner fumbled, which led to a touchdown pass from Oklahoma State quarterback Mason
Rudolph to running back Chris Carson on the team's next drive.
"The fumble really, really hurt," Beaty said. "That one killed us."
Later in the third quarter, redshirt junior quarterback Montell Cozart threw two costly interceptions.
One involved a strange play in which junior wide receiver LaQuvionte Gonzalez had a deep ball thrown off his helmet and into the
hands of safety Jordan Sterns.
Cozart, who took over as the starter for sophomore quarterback Ryan Willis, played an effective game before his third-quarter mistakes.
He finished with 250 passing yards and a 68-yard touchdown pass to Gonzalez in the first quarter.
Another positive for Kansas was the emergence of the running game. The
Jayhawks finished with 204 rushing yards, led by Kinner with 145.
"I thought Kinner ran really, really well." Beaty said. "The [fumble] was a tough blow, because we were running the ball really well, and he actually had some good runs on that drive."
The Cowboys still managed to outscore the Jayhawks 17-7 in the third quarter, and that proved to be too much of a hurdle to
overcome for Kansas.
"Most teams need to play without turnovers," Beaty said. "For us, we're in such a situation right now that you do feel like you have to play mistake-free football because it's hard to overcome it."
The Jayhawks have now lost the turnover margin in four of their last six games.
"We can't have turnovers," Kinner said. "We've got to play smarter football."
KU No.2 in first coaches poll
▶ CHRISTIAN S. HARDY
@ByHardy
Kansas basketball was ranked No. 2 in USA Today's first coaches poll, released on Thursday morning. The Jayhawks were behind only the Duke Blue Devils, who will play Kansas in the Champions Classic in New York City on Nov. 15.
Kansas finished last year at No. 3 in the poll going into the NCAA Tournament, while Duke was ranked No. 18 at the end of last year.
The next Big 12 team, West Virginia, sat at No. 18 in the poll, down four spots from where the Mountaineers were last season. Texas was the only other Big 12 team to be ranked, coming in at No. 22. Iowa State, Oklahoma, and Kansas State also got votes, but didn't make the top 25.
The coaches' top 25
breaks down like this when it comes to the other conferences: The ACC and Big 10 each have five teams; the Big East and Pac 12 each have three; the West Coast Conference and the American Athletic Conference each have two; the SEC and Atlantic 10 each have one.

Carlton Bragg Jr.: Bragg will be a versatile asset for the Jayhawks this season. He was named to the Karl Malone Award watch list, which is awarded to the best power forward of the season. Bragg showcased his scoring ability at Late Night in the Phog this year and has expressed excitement at the chance to play more minutes this season. The Kansas frontcourt is tasked with replacing one of last season's best forwards in the nation in Perry Ellis.
Frank Mason III: Along with Devonte' Graham, Frank Mason heads up one of the most powerful backcourts in the nation. Coming to Kansas for his senior year, Mason was named to the Bob Cousy Award watch list, which is awarded to the season's best point guard. Over the last three years at Kansas, Mason has displayed a formidable ability to drive, score and pass.

This weekend, the Kansas swim and dive team faced off in a double dual meet against the University of North Dakota and Missouri State University.
Kansas won twelve of the 19 events, surging ahead of North Dakota with a point total of 198-146 and beating out Missouri State 209-130.
Sophomore Libby Walker took first in the 1,000-yard freestyle. This past September, Walker tied with teammate Haley Bishop for first at the CSCAA Open Water Championships. Walker had a ten-second lead over the second place winner, North Dakota's Gabrielle Liedy. Walker clocked in at 10:20.55, while Liedy finished at 10:30.30.
In the 200-yard IM, freshman Elizabeth Amato-Hanner and junior Madison Straight tied in the last leg with a time of
2:07.56.
"[It was good to] see the team perform the way they did in a fairly quick format with event after event," he said. "I thought it was a good way to start the weekend."
Coach Clark Campbell said the race on Friday was a "mixed bag."
On Saturday, the second heat of the women's 400 IM was a close one. Straight stayed with North Dakota's Katie Breault and overpowered her in the last 25 yards of freestyle, snagging the win by .02 seconds. The 100-yard freestyle was another close race, with sophomore Breonna Barker winning by .01 seconds against Missouri State's Loretta Stelnicki in the second heat.
Straight said she was pleasantly surprised how well the team bounced back on the second day, something their coach was looking for after Friday. "I didn't expect our team to do so well at this time,"
Straight said. "I think after yesterday we were really pumped up and felt some more motivation to do well today, and after that tie with Elizabeth, it just motivated me more to do the IM really well."
In the 500-yard freestyle, freshman Jenny Nusbaum won the first heat, leading by four seconds for the majority of the race. Nusbaum ended up clocking a time of 5:04.14.
In the women's 400 freestyle relay, the Kansas' relay team of senior Pia Pavlic, sophomore Taylor Sieperda, Barker, and senior Yulduz Kuchkarova won by one second. Toward the end, the race became close between Kuchkarova and North Dakota's Anna Anderson. Kuchkarova pushed hard in the last 25 yards and finished with a time of 3:31.75.
Kansas' next meet is scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 27 against TCU.

Quality breast cancer care difficult for Native American women to find
CITY OF NEW YORK
Lily
Baxter Schanze/KANSAN Sarah Deer is a visiting law professor from Mitchell Hamline School of Law. She is a citizen of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation of Oklahoma and a breast cancer survivor.
▶ HAILEY DIXON
@_Hailey_Dixon
Ten years ago, Sarah Deer was diagnosed with stage two breast cancer.
"I was only 33 at the time," Deer said, "so extremely young for that level of breast cancer."
Deer, a visiting law professor and University alumna, is part of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation of Oklahoma. After discovering that she had breast cancer, she had five major surgeries and two minor surgeries. She also underwent chemotherapy for six months. She was "sidelined" for over a year, she said.
"My life was not really the same during that first year, particularly," Deer said. "But my second year, I was trying to put it back together."
Deer is now cancer-free. But throughout the process and during her diagnosis, she had access to quality medical help. However, she said this is not always the case with Native American women.
In 2009, the AHRQ National Healthcare Disparity annual report found that Native Americans and Alaskan Natives received worse care for about 30 percent of quality measures and had worse access to care than white people.
"Most Native American women that experience cancer do not have top healthcare," Deer said.
Deer said she thinks the problem is a result of limited access to health facilities.
"Our communities are so isolated and spread out that you may have to drive two and a half hours to a doctor appointment," she said. "And the only way to address that is more access to treatment facilities."
First Nations Student Association president Landri James, who is a member of the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation and the Kickapoo Nation, agreed with Deer that there could be better services on reservations to address health problems.
There is a clinic on the Prairie Band Potawatomi reservation, which James is a part of, but she said if something was serious, the patient would be forced to go elsewhere.
According to the American Indian Humanitarian Foundation, individuals that live on the Pine Ridge Native American Reservation, which is located in South Dakota, have to travel approximately 120 miles to get to a mid-sized community, Rapid City. There are many Native American communities who face those same difficulties.
key to having better health for Natives.
If a health problem was so severe, clinics on reservations may not be able to have the tools to help the patient if they are in critical condition, James said. Improving the clinics and facilities on reservations is
James said additional programs, like those that teach women to perform self-breast examinations, would improve breast cancer awareness in Native American communities.
"It's really important for people to become educated about these issues on their own and show concern with their elected representatives," she said. "In the case of Native women, it is important to notify elected representatives that congress needs to make these changes."
"The problem is there's not enough Native people to make political change," Deer said. "We really need non-Indians to understand the issues and make changes so [Native Americans] do not suffer this level of disparity."
Deer said she wants everyone, not just Native people, to get involved in the effort to improve access to healthcare.

Women pose with breast cancer awareness signs. The ETC hosted a showing of the film "Pink Ribbons, INC," on Oct. 19.
'Pinkwashing' subject of Oct.19 film screening
► HAILEY DIXON
@_Hailey_Dixon
In honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, The Emily Taylor Center for Women and Gender Equity hosted a showing of the film "Pink Ribbons, INC.," to shed light on the commercialization of breast cancer awareness.
The documentary, screened on Oct.19, dealt with companies selling pink ribbon products and how, sometimes, little of the money raised goes toward the cause.
"I think that my first thoughts [after watching the film] were that it pushed me into an uncomfortable place to evaluate my own behaviors," Annie McBride, assistant director for the center, said. "I was frustrated and angry for the companies letting me down."
The film also discussed "pinkwashing," when a corporation sells a pink ribbon product in support of breast cancer, but still sells items that are correlated with, or can lead to, breast cancer.
"Pinkwashing is when a company manufactures products that increase breast cancer, yet are also raising
money for the fight against breast cancer," said Megan Williams, ETC program coordinator.
However, McBride said she wants people to know not all pink products are bad.
"I don't want people to take away that breast cancer awareness is bad," McBride said. "And that people who donate or participate in walks are bad. I think the philanthropy and the spirit of the American people to make change is amazing. How do we move from awareness to action?"
Williams also emphasized action.
"I think that the first thing is that awareness is really important to have before action," Williams said. "So in order to act in a way that can make the most impact, it's best to become aware about whatever topic you are trying to change."
Williams also said if individuals want to make a difference in fighting breast cancer, there are many options.
"Actions would be a letter-writing campaign, [or] boycotting a specific type of product that has carcinogens, yet has a pink ribbon on it," she said.
Breast cancer is unpreventable, but early detection can help
▶ CHANDLER BOESE
@Chandler_Boese
While breast cancer is a disease that affects mostly older women, risk factors that increase a woman's chance of developing breast cancer often come in their younger years.
One out of every eight women will develop breast cancer at some point during her life, according to the Susan G. Komen foundation's website, and fewer than five percent of those breast cancer cases occur in women under 40.
Despite its tendency to appear in older women, breast cancer still leads to more deaths than any other cancer in women 20-54. For this reason, the two biggest risk factors for breast cancer are completely unavoidable: being a woman and getting
older.
Julie Anno, the lead technician at Lawrence Memorial Hospital's Breast Center, said yearly mammograms are the best thing women over 40 can do to combat breast cancer.
"There's really nothing you can do to stop from getting breast cancer, but getting mammograms can help with early detection, which means it's easier to treat," she said. "And a mammogram can detect breast cancer at its earliest stage, which MRIs and CT (scans) can't do."
For women with serious risk factors outside of age and sex, though earlier mammograms are encouraged and even paid for by most insurance companies, Anno said. A family history of breast cancer is often influential enough to require
early mammograms.
"Breast cancer can be passed down genetically, so women with a family history are usually able to start mammograms as young as 35," she said.
According to breastcancer.org, having one immediate relative who has had breast cancer doubles a woman's chance of getting breast cancer. Having two immediate relatives makes a woman five times as likely.
Those factors are the most significant, Anno said, but others can signal that a woman has a predisposition to breast cancer, including hormone use, childbearing age and the
start of menstruation.

Having children after the age of 30 or starting menstruation after the age of 12 can also put women in more danger of developing breast cancer.
"If you can try to avoid taking birth control for long periods of time during your life, it might slightly decrease your chances of getting breast cancer," Anno said.
Most of the risk factors are unavoidable, so there's very little women can do except to be aware of them. Anno said.
"Doing self-examinations of your breasts to check for irregularities can be good even at a young age," she said. "And, of course, getting CT (scans), MRIs and mammograms as you get older is the most important thing."

Organizers want to raise legal age to buy tobacco
Photo illustration by Ashley Hocking Due to a recent change in policy, the University is going tobacco-free in fall 2018. Now, some organizers want to raise the age to purchaase tobacco to 21.
► CHANDLER BOESE
@Chandler_Boeese
In 2018, students at the University may not only be banned from using tobacco on campus,many of them may be unable to buy it at all.
The Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department, urged on by the community health coalition of Live Well Lawrence, is putting together a proposal to raise the purchasing age of tobacco to 21 within the county.
Dan Partridge, the director of the health department, said the coalition and the tobacco work group within it have been working on the effort for a couple of years. In the coming year, the coalition will make the change its primary focus.
While the obvious benefit to raising the purchasing age would be to curb tobacco use in people 18-21 years old, Partridge said the hope is to get fewer smokers in all age groups.
"Members of the coalition believe we
can decrease the risk of likelihood of developing a smoking habit by keeping tobacco out of the hands of younger people and they believe raising the purchasing age is the way to do it," he said.
Partridge said the coalition and health department have looked at how changing the age has worked in communities who have already raised it - including more than 20 municipalities in the Kansas City area, he said. He said those communities usually see a decrease in
tobacco use across the board.
"It not only decreases the tobacco rates among 18-21 year olds, but it also decreases the use of tobacco by minors as well," he said.
One University student, Lauren Atherton, a senior from San Diego, doubts that changing the policy will make a difference. Now 26, she's been smoking since she was 16.
"If it had been that way when I was 18, it wouldn't have mattered," she said. "It would be just like
drinking: Once I turned 21,
I stopped really drinking,
but before that, I binge drank."
Atherton said, between Lawrence's lax ID-checking and the ease of getting an older person to buy cigarettes for minors, she didn't see the law having much of an impact.
The coalition has gained support from local health organization and businesses, as well as statewide health organizations, according to its fact sheet. These organizations include
Watkins Health Center and the University's tobacco-free initiative.
It not only decreases the tobacco rates among 18-21 year olds,but it also decreases the use of tobacco by minors as well."
Dan Partridge
Director of Health Dept.
"It's a pretty impressive list of organizations both here and around the state," Partridge said.
Sometime before the end of the calendar year, Patridge said, the coalition would like to sit down with the Lawrence City Commission and discuss the change, but there are currently no solid plans to do so.

KU moves up 3 spots in sexual health report
For the past 10 years, the maker of Trojan condoms and Sperling's BestPlaces have released a sexual health "report card" showing which universities are encouraging safe sex and HIV/STI testing.
The University moved from 83 to 80 of 140 schools on this year's report card, with the University of Georgia taking the number one spot. Jenny McKee, program manager for the Health Education Resource Office (HERO), said the move is likely due to increased opportunities for free HIV/STI testing.
TANNER HASSELL

"66
Every Friday our peer health educators are somewhere handing out safe sex kits, which increases availability to free protection."
Jenny McKee HERO program manager
"We used to only do free testing on World AIDS Day; starting last year we began doing free testing during September for campus safety awareness month and in April as a part of our Gaypril programming," McKee said.
McKee said another area of improvement at the University is the "condom sense" Friday programming.
"Another thing we've started doing in the last couple of years is the condom sense Friday events. So every Friday our peer health educators
are somewhere handing out safe sex kits, which increases availability to free protection," she said.
In an email, Bert Sperling, founder of Bestplaces, said schools were graded on 11 categories, which included quality of sexual health information and resources on website, contraceptive availability, condom availability, HIV testing on-site, STI testing on-site, outreach programs, sexual assault programs, overall website quality, hours of operation and availability of drop-in appointments.
According to the Trojan website, Georgia was awarded first place for superior sexual health resources, and student advocacy for access to the resources. McKee said the difference between the University and Georgia is the availability of free testing.
"The University of Georgia has free testing all the time, which is not something we are able to do at the Health Center, so a program like that is really the difference," she said.
"We have received quite a few inquiries from schools on how they have improved and what they can do to improve in the future," he said in an email. "We are so glad that this is opening the conversation for access to sexual health resources on campuses across the country."
In the email, Sperling said schools have been very reactive to the report card.
In the specific case of the University, Sperling said in an email Kansas has put up good scores for accessibility of healthcare, testing and contraceptive availability, but could improve on the digital front.
"The sexual health
information on the KU website could be stronger," he said in an email. "Also, other schools have a wider
range of programs and initiatives we classify as 'extra credit.' Many schools are providing a number

Mental health center requests funding to block guns
The Best Nash CENTER
▶ CHANDLER BOESE @Chandler_Boees
The Bert Nash Center, a community mental health center, has requested funding to block guns from its facilities.
R
When the University's campus becomes open to concealed weapons next year, several other local institutions will also have to allow guns — including Bert Nash, Douglas County's community mental health center.
Contributed Photo
Bert Nash, which is housed in the Community Health Facility on Maine Street, is funded by the city and county — meaning that it's a public building that has to allow guns beginning July 1, 2017. The only way it can ban guns from any part of the facility is if it provides adequate security measures, such as metal detectors and guards.
The center's CEO, Dave Johnson, said their staff members have serious safety concerns about concealed weapons entering the facility. Because of this, the center and the other agencies that occupy the facility are talking with the city and county about helping them fund security measures for the building.
"The building has a lot of people coming in and out everyday, we see over 300 people," Johnson said. "It's just a place where what you want to be able to offer is a safe place."
Johnson said the center's leadership decided to look into security measures after hearing the staff's concerns and speaking with other local health centers like the Douglas County Health Department.
"Overall, concealed carry increases danger when we're
dealing with people who are going through a difficult time in their lives," he said.
On Sept. 30, the agencies that occupy the same facility as Bert Nash (the health department and the Douglas County Visiting Nurses Association) sent a letter to the City of Lawrence and Douglas County. They asked the city and county to consider providing security measures for the facility and to push for legislative change.
"When we consider that hundreds of Douglas County residents living with incredible stress, uncertainty and
often poor impulse control visit the Community Health Facility every day we feel action is needed," the agencies wrote in the statement.
It's just a place where what you want to be able to offer is a safe place."
Dave Johnson Bert Nash Center CEO
University psychology professor Chris Crandall said
he understands the center's concerns.
"A person carrying a weapon has to be able to rationally make a decision without emotion and irrationality," he said. "Many of the people who visit Bert Nash are not able to do that."
Crandall said the center's objection to guns in the facility is probably not about the concept of concealed carry itself, but rather based on what they know about and have seen with mental health patients.
"Democracy is not threatened by not allowing guns
in mental health facilities," Crandall said.
But adding security measures will not be an easy task for the facility, Johnson said, due to its multiple entrances.
Barbara Ballard, one of Lawrence's representatives in the Kansas House, said last month that she hopes to present bills in the legislature session that would accomplish just that. Her first priority will be to get an exemption for higher education institutions, and her second would be to exempt community mental health centers.
Ballard said she has higher hopes for her bills after the primary, given some moderate Republicans who won over more extreme conservatives.
Ideally, Johnson would like the law allowing weapons in public buildings to be completely repealed, or at least mental health centers exempted from it.
"Perhaps with a different legislature, they'll repeal the bill for universities and community mental health centers," he said.

Foster: 'Slacktivism' fails to create change
@UNIVERSITY
DAILYKANSAN
▶ KAITLYN FOSTER @areacity
n any given day, my Facebook feed will show me several change.org petitions. Save the coral reefs! Stop the Dakota Access Pipeline! Lower the price of a life-saving drug!
Each of these petitions voice legitimate concerns. However, they also allow people to feel like they've done something to relieve the injustices of humanity when all they've achieved is sending out a message saying "this thing is bad" into the vast apathy of the Internet.
Change.org has a handy page detailing successful campaigns, like one for establishing a federal Survivor's Bill of Rights Act for those who have been sexually assaulted. The petition earned over 140,000 signatures, and the bill became law. The people that signed it care about this issue, but the real work to make the campaign a success came from Rise, an advocacy organization founded by the petition's author, Amber Nguyen. Rise held events and raised money to fight for this bill. They didn't rely on a random collective of clicks to ensure they reached their goal.

As a society, we have to become more involved in our communities and our politics."
Consumer Research, people who offer token support like signing a petition are no more likely to engage in more meaningful support like donating time or money than someone who didn't do so.
Petitions like these, and other forms of passive activism, or "slacktivism," let people feel they've been a part of something bigger than themselves. The benefits stop at the individual level, though. According to a study published in the Journal of
The most resounding example of passive activism for our age is probably the 2012 Stop Kony movement. A 30-minute documentary asked people to gather and "Cover the Night" with posters to raise awareness. Instead of plastering their cities with Kony posters, thousands changed their profile pictures, perhaps

than collaborative. While each type demonstrated a decline over a two decade span beginning in 1973, active, collaborative participation declined at a greater rate, some at quadruple the rate of certain expressive ones.
Increasing community involvement means facing numerous challenges. We now work nearly 150 more hours per year than we did in 1979 according to the Economic Policy Institute. Passive activism, like signing a petition or changing your profile picture, are modern equivalents of what Robert Putnam outlines in Bowling Alone as expressive involvement rather
As a society, we have to become more involved in our communities and our politics. When we don't, we lose our accountability in ensuring our democracy functions well, and people like Donald Trump try to undermine it.
Despite the challenges we face, students need to become the model for a more active
citizenry. At the University, students have been registering people to vote around campus and participating in protests for Black Lives and Trans Lives Matter. These two examples demonstrate what our activism should be not a passive declaration, but an active, collective effort to enact tangible change for the betterment of society and students should be the driving force behind this transformation.

Letter to the Editor: Speak out against injustice
- GRADUATE STUDENTS AND INSTRUCTORS IN THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT
As graduate students and instructors in the English department, we directly address the mandate we were charged with by our dean, Carl Lejuez, to speak out against injustice. Considering the recent troubling events on campus, as well as national and international events, we affirm that Trans Lives Matter, Black Lives Matter, and we fully support safe spaces at the University of Kansas. Safe spaces provide an area or forum for marginalized groups to find solace away from the damaging impacts of marginalization. When safe spaces are under attack, our mission as a university is under attack; when
diversity and inclusion are threatened, so is free and open intellectual discourse.
We affirm that Trans Lives Matter, Black Lives Matter, and we fully support safe spaces at the University of Kansas."
Safe spaces are an essential marker of an inclusive campus and therefore, should be protected at all costs. We recognize and agree that safe spaces are critical and necessary components of university culture that support intellectual and academic freedom. We
need mutual respect in order to engage in effective dialogue inside and outside of the classroom. Safe spaces are necessary for the university to be a productive learning space and that is compromised when individuals fear for their well-being - we cannot do our jobs effectively when our students, staff or faculty feel unsafe.
Authentic support requires action. In addition to this letter, we are encouraging all faculty, staff and graduate students in the English department to become Safe Zone members. As one of the largest departments serving undergraduate students, we believe it's vital to provide several safe spaces within our department and to foster an environment in which our students are comfortable
expressing themselves. Once Safe Zone training is completed, we will compile and post a list of certified English Department Safe Zone members so students can have easier access to this information. We recognize that this is merely the beginning of a conversation and not the solution, but we are committed to this ongoing work. We charge other departments with doing the same.

Connor Dyer with some of her creations. Dyer is a University alumna who creates reliquaries.
Art in Focus: Metal artist Connor Dyer
SAMANTHA SEXTON
@Sambiscuit
An antique silver chain, a dusty photo album or even a stuffed animal can be a reminder of departed loved ones - sacred keepsakes to honor the dead. But what about a necklace made into the shape of a blue frisbee that holds the strands of hair from a deceased dog? Can this object be as sacred as an urn filled with a loved one's ashes?
Metal artist and University alumna Connor Dyer believes so. She spent most of her time while a student in the visual arts department asking what really is sacred.
"I spent most of my time working on making reliquaries that were really important to me," Dyer said. "Historically, a reliquary was something that dealt with something that was sacred and had deep meaning in religions and cultures."
After her dog passed away a few years ago, Dyer wanted something to keep with her as a token of her lost companion.
"I started with making a locket with hair inside," Dyer said. "It was a way to comfort me in my loss, and I realized that the concept of what is sacred and what can be considered a reliquary is really up to the individual."
Dyer continued her introspective journey when a fuchsia plant became the unsuspecting host to a new family of birds.
"I had the choice to either water the plant and potentially drown the babies and ruin their nest or let the fuchsia wither in favor of the birds," Dyer said. "I chose to save the birds, but I think that either decision would have been almost like playing God."
Dyer made a reliquary for the plant that she had sacrificed. She created an intricate piece of metal work that depicted a fuchsia sprouting from a bird's nest.
"The act of making something and the time that you take making it creates a bond between you and the art," Dyer said. "Though the fuchsia was not as personally important to me as my dog, the act of creating it I think developed this level of sacredness that is legitimate."
After years of making reliquaries for anything from plants to emotions, Dyer has come up with her own definition of sacred that fits her art best.
Gina Westergard, an associate professor in the department of visual arts, said that she recognized a passion in Dyer almost immediately.

"Sacredness comes from anything that is emotionally connected to you," Dyer said. "Anything can be sacred to an individual on a personal level, and nobody can take that connection

quite lovely," Westergard said. "I admire that not only is her work pleasing to look at, but it also conveys a personal, meaningful story. She wants her work to evoke emotions."
Westergard said she knew Dyer would advance her education after graduation and also said she was proud of where Dyer is today.
"She set her goals high and worked hard so she could be accepted at the school of her choice," Westergard said. "She was a natural at explaining techniques and relating to the students. It is a rewarding experience to watch my student become the teacher."
Dyer wants to become a visual arts professor in the future. She is currently a graduate student at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

Cottonwood to hold exhibition with Lawrence Arts Center
ALYSSA HOEDL

Through a partnership with the Lawrence Arts Center, Cottonwood, Inc. is producing its 17th annual arts exhibit.
The art from the company's exhibit comes from consumers of Cottonwood's work-enrichment program as well as its retirement-enrichment program.
"These programs are a part of our life-enrichment services which provide support and services throughout the day [for our consumers] to have a meaningful day, whether it is to work in the community or here at Cottonwood," said Sarah Brown, the retirement enrichment services coordinator at Cottonwood.
Many different types of artwork will be displayed at the exhibit, including acrylic painting that is done on paper and canvases, melted crayons and other things
layered on canvases, canvases with an acrylic background and a favorite picture placed on top, prints that were made in printmaking classes, and more.
The exhibit is a compilation of pieces of art that

"We absolutely love the classes we take at the LAC, the teachers always have a fantastic way that they bring art to our consumers

and they help them develop that passion that they have in class," Brown said.
The exhibit is open to all ages, and college students are encouraged to attend.
"It's an opportunity to learn about people through their art that might not ever intersect with the typical college student experience," Ahlvers said.
The exhibit runs at the center from Oct. 28 at 5 p.m.to Nov. 21 at 9 p.m. Brown said artists will be at the exhibit from 5:30 to 8 p.m.
"You can meet most of the artists, and proceeds from the art go to the consumers," Brown said. "It's their chance to sell their artwork and it doesn't benefit Cottonwood or the LAC, it benefits the consumers and what they've created."

'Ouija: Origin of Evil' succeeds in scares
GUS HUNNINGHAKE
@gushunninghake
Two years ago, Blumhouse Productions released "Ouija," a poorly directed, scattershot film with virtually no scares. Despite overwhelmingly negative reviews from critics and fans, the film made back its production budget and more in theaters. This prompted Universal Pictures to green light "Ouija: Origin of Evil," much to the initial dismay of many horror connoisseurs. However, once Mike Flanagan was signed to direct, the film gained a glimpse of hope.
"Ouija: Origin of Evil" takes place in 1967 and stars Elizabeth Reaser as Alice Zander, a recently widowed mother who makes her living by pretending to be a medium. Alice's oldest daughter, Paulina (Annalise Basso), and youngest daughter, Doris (Lulu Wilson), both aid her in pretending to speak to those who have passed to the other side. When her practice needs some spicing up, Alice gives in and buys a Ouija board at Paulina's suggestion. Soon after buying the board, Alice plays with it alone, and Doris begins to exhibit paranormal behavior. As the behavior turns sinister and Doris starts playing alone, Paulina turns to Father Tom (Henry Thomas) to help
get her sister back from the damned.
For starters, this film is fantastic. It's also deeply frightening. As a director, Mike Flanagan hardly ever uses fake jump scares to get the audience's heart rate going. Instead, he places truly scary images onscreen without any high pitched musical cues, which allows the tension and fear to flow seamlessly into the film's narrative. Flanagan's attention to period detail also adds to the eeriness of the story and makes the movie feel like it came straight out of the 60s. When the film starts, the Universal logo that was used from 1963 to 1990 envelopes the screen. The title card looks as if it was hand drawn in 1967. Little cigarette burns, which used to be put on film to signify the changing of reels from one projector to another, occasionally appear in the top right corner of the screen. These and many other small directing choices prove Flanagan's commitment and attention to detail while crafting a horror film.
All four of the main characters are heartfelt and gripping in their roles. Both Reaser and Thomas do a fine job of portraying the pain and loss that Alice and Father Tom must deal with each day. The most impressive performances, however, come from the two
younger women. Basso perfectly mixes the angst of being a teenager and the sadness she feels from the loss of her father in a powerfully emotional performance, and Wilson is downright haunting as Doris, especially when supernatural forces surface and slowly begin to take over her life.
These impressive and surprising performances are in large part thanks to the wonderful script co-written by Flanagan and his frequent collaborator Jeff Howard. These two put a lot of time and care into each main character, which allows them to fit into the story with emotional resonance and a sense of importance. Props to Universal for actually caring enough to hire someone that knows how to write a good character for a horror film.
"Ouija: Origin of Evil" is one of the biggest surprises of 2016. Each scene builds on itself to amp the tension and scares up until the credits role. From the meticulous direction, to the well-written script, to the wonderful performances, this prequel did everything right that the first film did completely wrong. This breath of fresh air is well worth the price of admission and is one of the scariest movies in recent years.

Professor explores Japanese cuisine in new book

FOOD, PLACE AND IDENTITY
ERIC C. RATH
W with an interest in the intimacy of food culture
▶ OMAR SANCHEZ
@OhMySanchez
and how that reflects society, professor and Japanese historian Eric C. Rath goes on an in-depth exploration that combines archival records and on-the-ground field work in his recently published book, titled "Japan's Cuisines: Food, Place and Identity."
"When we go eat Japanese food in America, we have a very limited menu. We have sushi, the tempura and things like that. Those come to mean Japanese food for us," Rath said. "One of the purposes of my book is to say, well that is a very limited view of Japanese cuisine."
"Japan's Cuisines" is the latest in Rath's published works looking to challenge the monolithic view of Japanese food culture through its cuisine. Previous books of his include 2010's "Food and Fantasy in Early Modern Japan."
This time around, Rath looks into the way the Japanese government has projected a particular view of its cuisine. This includes its recent effort to add Washoku, as it is commonly referred as, to UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list.
While this list is a part of UNESCO's goal of highlighting world practices that are of cultural significance, there are questions about the Japanese government's motivation to work with UNESCO.
CNN has described UNESCO as a "UN body in charge of preserving culture and history." However, in the case of the Intangible Cultural Heritage list, there may be efforts to cement an image of a culture that isn't indicative of the reality.
When we go eat Japanese food in America, we have a very limited menu. We have sushi, the tempura and things like that. Those come to mean Japanese food for us. One of the purposes of my book is to say, well that is a very limited view of Japanese cuisine."
Eric C. Rath Professor and Japanese historian
"It's a way to project what they call 'Cool Japan' globally," Rath said. "Japanese cuisine is a part of that. The food is perceived as hip and cool, healthy."
"Cool Japan" is a term referring to Japan's consistent effort, detailed in the global magazine Foreign Policy, to reinvent the nation's conventional appearance.
In terms of its cuisine, this means concerns of Japan's food & safety regulations are possibly wrongly mitigated and other aspects of Japan's food culture are lost in the process.
Rath said this includes things like its take on the French cuisine found predominantly in Tokyo.
"You can find the best French cuisine there that you can in any other place of the world," he said.
In his new book, Rath looked to uncover this dimensionality. This included, Rath said, going into often obscure, mountainous areas of Japan to find out what their relationship to food was like.
Eve Levin, professor and chairwoman of the history department, said this level of study of the Japanese cuisine can profoundly educate the American community.
"I especially appreciate his ability to show how aspects of ordinary life — food in this case — are extraordinarily revealing of larger issues of social status and political ideas," she said.
Levin added: "Americans might never go to Japan, never read anything translated from Japanese, never study the history of Japan, but still frequent Japanese restaurants. But because we all eat, we all innately share a common base of mutual understanding, so food provides an accessible entryway into another culture."

Kansas relying on Montell Cozart under center
> SEAN COLLINS
@seanzie_UDK
n the first seven games of the season, football coach David Beaty has flip-flipped between his two quarterbacks, redshirt junior Montell Cozart and sophomore Ryan Willis. That doesn't seem to be much of a debate anymore, after Beaty stated that Cozart would be the starter against Oklahoma (5-2) on Saturday after starting against Oklahoma State last week.
While the Jayhawks lost to the Cowboys last Saturday, Beaty was glowing in his postgame talk about Cozart. Even when he was splitting reps with Willis during practices, Cozart continued to impress Beaty, and it appears to have paid off.
"Number one, [Cozart is] one of the finest character kids I've ever been around in
my life," Beaty said. "So the way he handled the last two weeks, I mean, you would expect nothing different out of Montell Cozart."
The Sooners will be a tough test for the Jayhawks, and playing in Norman will not help. In 2015, the Jayhawks were throttled by the Sooners 62-7 in Lawrence, not providing much insight into how to beat one of the Big 12's toughest opponents.
The Sooners are currently on a four-game winning streak after a shootout against the Texas Tech Red Raiders. While the Sooners have averaged around 44 points per game this season, they have also given up 37 points on average to opponents.
Scoring has been the issue for the Jayhawks, and Beaty knows it. Despite Cozart having a strong showing against the Cowboys, passing for 250 yards and a touchdown,
Beaty was upset with points put on the board.
"The only stat that matters at the end of the day is the points on the board. We scored 20 points," Beaty said.
Number one, [Cozart is] one of the finest character kids I've ever been around in my life."
David Beaty Coach
"Yeah, we moved the ball quite a bit up-and-down the field. But we put 20 points on the board."
In order for Beaty and the Jayhawks to have a chance against the Sooners, they are going to need to score points,
and a lot of them. Turnovers have been a consistent problem for the offense, and that can't happen against the Sooners.
Cozart has proved that he can play with the top teams in the Big 12 — like he did for a half against Oklahoma State. But Beaty's been clear about this: If costly turnovers ruin good throws, there's no chance for Kansas to recover.
If the turnovers improve, Beaty thinks the team can as well.
"Those are the types of things that we've got to grow up, because when we don't, you're going to have a hard time winning in one of the finest leagues on the face of the planet," Beaty said. "So we've got a long way to go, but we're getting better. I love the way our guys fight and they stay together. But we've still got a long way to go."

Changing the way college basketball players approach different facets of the game won't be easy, but Big 12 Coordinator of Men's Basketball Officials Curtis Shaw said it's on the players.
"In order to clean the game up, we're going to enforce things we hadn't before so everybody learns how to adjust," Shaw said during a presentation on officiating at Big 12 Men's Basketball Media Day at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo.
Shaw emphasized two things officials will enforce more in the upcoming season: traveling and restricted area play.
The goal of these rules changes is to change college basketball in the long term. A year ago, the NCAA introduced key areas for officials to improve upon, along with the change from a 35-second shot clock to 30 seconds.
Kansas coach Bill Self acknowledged the rule interpretations when he spoke at media day and said they've made his team play differently in the long run. He later expressed some support for college basketball becoming a more translatable game to the NBA.
"I think there's going to be ample talk and studies done to see what we need to tweak
to make our game better," Self said. "I think there's a lot of nervousness right now."
"As you guys remember a couple years back, all the touch fouls out front. But we actually adjusted to that and got better at that. But I think the incidental contact plays that could be called as fouls can totally, totally not only disrupt rhythm but totally cost some good teams games or put teams playing defensively on defense a lot. I think that needs to be watched and studied."
In Shaw's presentation, he showed referees will enforce traveling much more in the backcourt.
"If we're not going to allow the defense to come out, put hands on, do the other things we used to do, we cannot let the offensive player get away with steps," Shaw said. "The Rules Committee foundation for this is it's our job, coaches and players, to play fundamentally correct."
As for the restricted area, the arc below the basket, Shaw said referees will enforce a foul if a player doesn't jump when an offensive player with the ball approaches the basket. This is to make sure the defensive player doesn't illegally impede the movement of the offensive player.
Kansas forward Landen Lucas stayed open to adjusting to new interpretations of rules.
just go up, stay vertical and that's probably the best bet as a big."
"It works out for me," Lucas said. "[Referees] said
Lucas added: "I usually adjust fine to it. I try to pay attention to the adjustments and find ways that I can play my game and still fit into the rule."
I think there's going to be ample talk and studies done to see what we need to tweak to make our game better."
Bill Self Coach
down, Shaw said the opposite has happened. Seth Davis of Sports Illustrated included the numbers on the matter in his blog in Nov. 2015.
"We have to change the way we play the game," Shaw said. "Basketball was meant to score in the 70, 80, 90 points, not this 55-50 game we had a couple years ago. In order to do that, we'll have growing pains. But last year we averaged an hour and 59 minutes. We were inside the two-hour window, even though everybody panicked about all the calls. It didn't happen."
Although these rules have been said to slow the game

BIG 12 FROM PAGE 10
As media swarmed the four Kansas players at Big 12 media day — Josh Jackson, Landen Lucas, Frank Mason III and Devonte' Graham — Freeman's sentiment of a true one through 10 battle was echoed through the other nine teams in attendance.
For Kansas State forward Wesley Iwundu, it's frustrating when coaches called it a two through 10 competition. And while he sees Allen Fieldhouse as a tough place to play,it's not necessarily the apex of a different team taking a Big 12 championship from Kansas.
"If you ask me, I think the league is pretty much wide open this year. From
one to 10, I think it's competitive," Iwundu said. "There ain't going to be no easy games or anything. Every game is going to be challenging and tough ... Whatever teams end up at the end of the year, we'll see."
In some ways, Wainright is with his teammates, and the rest of the players in the Big 12 who think this season — when Kansas will chase its 13th straight Big 12 title — is unpredictable.
But maybe Wainright is more realistic with his expectations. He's seen this Kansas team for years — Self's dominance, Mario Chalmers' shot. He played with Landen Lucas on a club team before he chose Kansas and has fond memories of watching Brandon Rush play at Kansas. Yet
still, even after watching years of Kansas basketball and going to games at Allen Fieldhouse, he thinks his team - and any other team in the conference - has a chance at Kansas.
"Everybody wants to be on top." Wainright said. "Everybody wants to beat Rocky. Everybody wants to beat Muhammad Ali. Everybody wants to beat (Floyd) Mayweather. And it's possible."
In any case, the Jayhawks, the head honchos of Big 12 basketball, certainly have a target on their back.

Big 12 still holds challenges for Graham and Mason
▶ BRIAN MINI @brianminimum
Big 12 media day featured the surplus of talented guards in the conference. Two of the headliners sat sandwiched between senior Landen Lucas and freshman Josh Jackson.
Senior Frank Mason III and junior Devonte' Graham occupied a third of last season's Big 12 All-Defensive team. On paper, their job has gotten easier with the departure of Oklahoma's Buddy Hield, Texas' Isaiah Taylor and West Virginia's Jaysean Paige, to name a few.
"We want to play against the best, so we actually wish those guys were still in school," Mason said. "It's really fun and we'll miss those good guys."
Hield, Taylor and Paige were first, fifth and seventh, respectively, in scoring last season. In order for the rest of the Big 12 to compete with Kansas' backcourt, teams will need to find its own standout guards.
A prime candidate would be Oklahoma State's Jawan Evans. Named the Big 12 Freshman of the Year last season, Evans finished with 12.9 points per game, 4.9 assists per game and 47.5 per cent three-point shooting.
At media day, Evans said he "wasn't really focused on" the possibility of first team honors, but his freshman season certainly hinted at the possibility. Despite an injury that sidelined Evans for nine games, Evans remains one of the toughest guard defenders in the conference.
We want to play against the best, so we actually wish those guys were still in school."
Frank Mason III Senior guard
For TCU, coach Jamie Dixon might have this year's Evans in freshman guard Jaylen Fisher.
"Point guards win college basketball games, and he's as good as there was available," Dixon said. "But I think he might be as good a point guard as there was last year, as far as a true point guard."
Fisher was ranked as the 34th best recruit by ESPN and may eventually develop into a threat to Kansas' dominant backcourt, but
with the loss of leading scorer Chauncey Collins, TCU has a shortage of proven talent to complement Fisher.
Meanwhile in Waco, junior guard Al Freeman could continue to build on the promising season he quietly put together last year. Freeman was the leading scorer in Baylor's loss to Kansas during the Big 12 Tournament and doesn't see a huge dip in guard talent this year.
"The Big 12 has really good guards every year," Freeman said about the departures of Hield, Taylor and Oklahoma's Isaiah Cousins. Freeman also cited himself, Evans and Oklahoma State's Phil Forte as proof that the Big 12 is still deep in guard talent.
The Big 12's depth is undeniable. Even with the conference losing the Naismith College Player of the Year, there's still a deep list of possible All-Americans that return in 2016.
Even with the depth, there's still a question that even Hield and Cousins weren't the answer to: Which team can beat Kansas's talent at the guard position?

Target on Kansas' back grows as it aims for 13th-straight title
> CHRISTIAN S. HARDY
@ByHardy
Ishmail Wainright has grown used to this. When the monotony of the Big 12 basketball rankings—with Kansas at the top—is brought up, he looks down and lets out a short breath. Another question about the Jayhawks.
His wide gratuitous smile pushes the corners of his mouth toward the small dimples forming on his cheeks. Baylor's senior guard has seen and heard this over and over again, like clockwork.
Wainright knows all about the Jayhawks. He's lost to them eight times in his three years at Baylor — his Baylor teams have never won. His grandpa played for the Jayhawks from 1954-1957 and alongside Wilt Chamberlain for two of those years.
"I can drive all the way up (to Lawrence) with my eyes shut," Wainright said sitting at Big 12 media day in Kansas City, Mo., where he grew

up. He spent his first two years of high school playing basketball at Raytown South, about 20 minutes from his neighborhood. "I was born here, so I know all about them ... They've been a tough team since I was in diapers."
After 12 straight titles in the Big 12 and being picked by the conference coaches, this is the reality of the Big 12 now. TCU coach Jamie Dixon called the run "unheard of," and essentially said Bill Self is a future college basketball hall of famer. West Virginia coach Bob Huggins said no one will dethrone the Jayhawks if teams can't

"We don't look at it like that at all," said Baylor guard Al Freeman, who averaged 11.3 points last year in his junior season.

win at Allen Fieldhouse. That hasn't been done since Feb. 2, 2013, when Oklahoma State topped then-No. 2 Kansas, 85-80.
Maybe the strongest stance on Kansas' conference dominance came from Wainright's coach at Baylor, Scott Drew, who nonchalantly said the conference is competitive "two through 10," but that Kansas is a clear favorite to win the conference.
Freeman paused for a moment, then continued:
"Every team, they want to take it from them. And we want to be the ones to do it."

On Sunday, the concourses of Allen Fieldhouse will once again fill with fans. Cheese will be melted, popcorn popped and drinks filled. At 2 p.m., basketball returns to Allen Fieldhouse.
It may just be an exhibition game against Fort Hays State, a Division II school in northwest Kansas, but the Kansas women's basketball team is ready to get back on the hardwood.
Last season was Schneider's first at Kansas, and the team went winless in Big 12 regular season play before its first win in the conference tournament. The team hopes this year will be different.
Kansas has two exhibition games before the regular season, one on Sunday and another on Nov. 6 against Washburn. These games aren't the first exhibitions Kansas has played so far, as the team took a trip to France and Switzerland this summer where they played in four additional exhibitions.
"I think we're just really excited to build on the momentum we built last year" coach Brandon Schneider said.
“It's been that build up of waiting and waiting, we finally just get to play," senior forward Jada Brown said.
It's been that build up of waiting and waiting,we finally just get to play."

Senior forward
"I was happy with what I saw in team improvement and more importantly in individual improvement," Schneider said of the trip.
Like in Europe, Kansas should have a deep rotation of players on Sunday. Last year, ten different players scored in the team's first exhibition including two in double figures. The leading scorer in that game, Lauren Aldridge, left the program and transferred to Missouri this offseason.
The team will look to replace Aldridge's play with transfers McKenzie Calvert, a redshirt sophomore, and Jessica Washington, a junior.
Calvert isn't nervous

"I don't wanna airball or get in foul trouble early," Calvert said. "Because then I'm going to have to sit out."
Kansas last played Fort Hays State in 2014, a 73-52 victory for the Jayhawks. In that game the Jayhawks shot 43.5 percent from the field and 46.2 percent from beyond the three-point line. Fort Hays State shot just 26.8 percent from the field and just 16.7 percent from three-point range.
Senior guard Timeka O'Neal scored six points, the highest of any player still on the current roster.
In the MIAA preseason coaches poll, Fort Hays State is picked to finish fourth this year. It is the fourth-straight year Fort Hays State was selected in that position. Washburn, Kansas' second preseason opponent, was picked to finish third.
The regular season gets underway for Kansas on Sunday Nov. 13 against Missouri State, while Big 12 play will begin on Dec. 29 against Oklahoma.

As the 2016 election nears, students are getting ready to vote on Nov. 8. For some, it's the very first time.
Dani Sorensen, a senior from Overland Park, was four months too young to vote in the 2012 election. Now, she said she's more than ready.
"I am excited to vote," Sorensen said. "It's kind of like when you turn 16, you can drive a car and when you turn 21, you can legally consume alcohol."
However, not all young people will get to the polls to vote like Sorensen.
According to the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement, only 45 percent of young voters ages 18 to 29 voted in the 2012 presidential election.
"We take pride in telling people that 'I don't vote.' To me, that is something that I wouldn't be proud of. That says I'm leaving the laws and leaders of my country to somebody else," Barbara Ballard, associate director of the Dole Institute of Politics, said.
Ballard said that voting is one of the most important rights one has as a United States citizen.
just excited to vote," Ballard said. "Whether you are voting or not, one of those people is going to win, and you would have nothing to do with it. You just missed your opportunity."
"Your vote is your voice, and your vote is your power," she said.
Ballard said that those who do not want to vote, because they believe their vote does not matter or because they dislike either candidate are coping out.
Ballard said if voters are not particularly fond of either candidate, they should look into the credentials of each candidate to help them decide who to vote for.
"I don't fit in that category, because I am definitely excited about Hillary Clinton, and I think there's a lot of people [that] are

Why judges are on your ballot this year

Clinton, Trump, Moran, Weisner, Jenkins and Potter: most of the names on this election's ballot will probably look at least vaguely familiar to voters as they cast their ballots over the next week and a half.
But, as voters go down the ballot, they'll likely come to a list of five names that are completely foreign to themCarol Beier, Dan Biles, Lawton Nuss, Marla Luckert and Caleb Stegall are Kansas' Supreme Court justices, and their futures will be in the hands of Kansas voters, who will be voting whether or not to retain the judges in their current positions.
The issue of judicial retention has become a hot-button issue in state politics this year, and has been one of the greatest generators of advertising revenue within the state. The Topeka Capital-Journal reported.
HAMMER
This is not the first time that Kansans have voted on judicial retention, said Richard Ware, a professor of constitutional law at the University. This election has become contentious, however, as a result of a dispute between the state judicial branch and its legislative and executive counterparts that has been building for more than a decade.
"It's an ongoing struggle, there's no question about that," Ware said. "The level of tension [between the court and legislature] has heightened, and I would trace it back to 2004, 2005, when things started to get increasingly nasty and it just has gone from there."
This contentious history has included the Kansas Supreme Court ruling multiple times on school funding, the death penalty, abortion rights and same-sex marriage (before it was decided in the U.S. Supreme Court), Ware

Suspect in Oliver Hall arrest charged with sexual battery

This article details
allegations of sexual
assault.
A student who was arrested Thursday morning at Oliver Hall is facing one felony and one misdemeanor charge of sexual assault.
Jon Jacob Myers, 18, was formally charged Friday in Douglas County District Court with a felony count of aggravated sexual battery and a misdemeanor count of sexual battery.
According to a press release issued by the Douglas County District Attorney's Office, Myers is accused of "touching the leg of a victim in a sexual manner and later putting his hand in the pants of another
victim."
Cheryl Wright-Kunard, assistant to the District Attorney, said Myers' bond was set at $15,000 on conditions of not consuming alcohol or drugs, not contacting the two victims and not returning to 1815 Naismith Drive, where the alleged incident took place.
Wright-Kunard said Myers is set for a nogo preliminary, or a scheduling hearing, in Division Two court Nov. 30 at 2 p.m.
The press release said Myers is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty, and the charges are merely allegations of criminal conduct.

With flu season on its way, University
on its way. University health workers want to encourage students, staff and employees to get the flu shot before it's too late.
The flu shot ultimately helps people remain healthy throughout the flu season, which can range from October to May, according to Kate Harper, the Watkins Health Services nurse supervisor.
According to the CDC, recent studies show the flu vaccine reduces the risk of flu illness by 50 to 60 percent among the overall population.
"Basically, the benefit of the flu shot is that we hope that the way the vaccine is designed will prevent you from getting the flu altogether," Harper said.
Joe Heidrick, the assistant dean of the school of pharmacy, said the flu shot also protects individuals from an outbreak of influenza.
"There's different types of influenza and viruses that cause infection, but the influenza virus itself is a different virus that causes flu like symptoms," Heidrick said. "It's not very often that you get actual influenza, but the thing to keep in mind is that the most deadly epidemics in our country are due to the
influenza virus; thousands and thousands of people were killed in the late 1800s and early 1900s."
Heidrick encourages college students especially to get the flu shot.
"College students are the prime people that should get the flu shot because of communal living," Heidrick said.
According to Harper, anyone older than six months should get the vaccine. Heidrick said those that have a significant egg allergy or have had a severe allergic reaction to the flu shot in the past should not get the shot. In addition, those that are immunosuppressed should
not get the shot, because it will not work, according to Heidrick.
Harper said students should get the shot as soon as it is available. If a person is feeling sick, it is advised that they wait to get the flu shot until the fever has passed, according to Heidrick.
After getting the shot, people can experience minor side effects, which include a sore or swollen arm, low fever and body aches. Harper said.
"It's not going to hurt you. It just won't make it as effective." Heidrick said.
surround the vaccination. Nurses such as Harper want to debunk misconceptions and inform people about the positives of getting the vaccination.
Even though flu shots have proven benefits, there are still myths that
The injection does not contain anything that can make a person sick or come down with the flu, as the injection is an inactivated virus, Harper said.
"A popular opinion out there is that the flu vaccine can make you sick," she said.
"If you were to have the vaccine and suddenly you got the flu three days later, it would be because the shot didn't take its full effect," Harper said.
The shot works to
create antibodies so that if a person does come into contact with the flu, his or her body will try to fight it, Heidrick said.
Other than a fear of side effects, some people may not want to get the flu shot because of a fright of needles.
Basic

Kate Harper Watkins Health Center nurse supervisor
"Needle phobia is a legitimate thing, and for some people it's beyond their control," Harper said. "What I tell people is that this is not a very painful shot, and in health care we are big on risk versus benefit. The very few minutes of anxiety over that needle are far less from getting that benefit from being healthy and staying at work and staying in class."

Baxter Schanze/KANSAN polarized campus carry
Signs sit in the doorway of the Kansas Union Ballroom Wednesday night during a polarized campus carry discussion.
After the four members of the panel all of whom said they were against campus carry answered general questions about the issue, the event opened up to audience questions. Many of the audience members who took the microphone were gun owners and advocates of campus carry.
The gun owners, many sporting National Rifle Association shirts, shared reasons why they would like to carry weapons on campus and asked the panel to consider their points of view.
"We're not looking to carry guns on campus to hurt people," said one progn audience member. "We just want to feel safe."
The panel included University student Mike Hernandez, political science professor Paul Schumaker, Willow Domestic Violence Center employee Kristine Chapman and Kansas Rep. Dennis "Boog" Highberger. In response to the pro-gun audience members, they spoke about the larger impact of allowing guns on campus.
Schumaker said his biggest concern is that allowing guns on campus would prevent classrooms from feeling safe and being open to free academic discussion.
Many of the panel members felt the legislature's 2015 decision to repeal the training requirement for concealed carry made campus carry much more problematic.
Hernandez agreed, saying he fears that concealed carry would change relationships between students, as well as the relationship between students and instructors.
"For us to drive a car, we have to go in and pass a test, why wouldn't you have to take one to fire a gun?" Chapman said.
Other concerns that were raised during the panel were the lack of training required to carry a gun and the possibility of legislative change.
Many of the audience members who were against campus carry asked Highberger about what the paths forward might be like in the Kansas legislature.
Highberger, who represents the northeast part of Lawrence, said he has high hopes for passing a bill drafted by Rep. Barbara Ballard (D-Lawrence), which would permanently exempt colleges and universities from concealed carry. He said that bill would be his first course of action
members asked panel members if they knew what concealed carry training had actually been like before the 2015 law, arguing that it had been minimal in the first place. He also said most people who feel strongly enough to carry a gun on campus have experience and more advanced training, even including competitive shooting.
One of the audience
Highberger said the shifts in the legislature that the state has seen in primary elections give him hope that next term's legislature will be more amenable to changing the law. A number of moderates won over more extreme Republican incumbents in primaries, and Highberger said he expects even more incumbents to fall in the general election.
he would consider further compromise if the bill couldn't get passed.
"For some of these [legislators], protecting gun rights is like a religion," he said.
All of the panel members encouraged the audience to vote and contact their legislators to make their voice heard on the issue of. campus carry, regardless of what they think of the issue.

nine justices. This could significantly alter the lean of the court, Ware said, as four of the justices up for retention were appointed by Democratic governors. Campaigns like Kansans for Justice are asking voters to vote "no" on retaining those four justices, but to retain Stegall, a recent appointment by Gov. Sam Brownback.
"I think it's fair to say
tive Republicans control — the legislature and the statehouse, but they don't control the courts," Ware said. "It's in the nature of political parties to want to control as much as they can, and so they're trying to push for more control over the courts."
Rep. Barbara Ballard (D-Lawrence) agreed that the retention vote has become a lot more about political parties than the jus-
that Republicans control — and probably conservation. Republicans
tices themselves. But voting whether or not to retain justices should be about how they do their jobs, not which ideology they fit into, Ballard said.
"We need to avoid politicizing a position where you depend on getting fair decisions," she said. "What we want is a decision that is based on what's best for all people, not best for one party."
If voters were to vote to not retain any of the justices, Brownback would be
able to name their replacements from a selection of qualified candidates chosen by the bi-partisan Supreme Court Nominating Commission, Ware said.
"The Republicans don't have full control over the appointment of justices, like they might over appeals courts," Ware said, "But Brownback would be free to pick the most conservative candidates that the commission nominates."

Professor, students weigh in on future of the GOP
PRESIDENT TRUMP
▶ TANNER HASSELL
@thassell17
Associated Press
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks during a campaign rally, Thursday, Oct. 27, 2016, in Springfield, Ohio.
With an unusual election year coming to a close and a high stack of scandals piled up against the Republican presidential nominee, some people are uncertain about what the future holds for the Republi can party.
Political science professor Patrick Miller said he thinks the GOP will continue moving in a more extreme direction, but the University's College Republicans Chair Adam Steinhilber and Vice Chair Sara Prendergast said they hope that a more moderate party will emerge.
Nominee Donald Trump was viewed unfavorably by 62 percent of adults nationwide as of Oct. 26, according to a Gallup poll.Among Republicans, Trump has a 28 percent unfavorable rating.
Miller said this election has exposed the changing face of the Republican Party, and could be a look into the future.
"I think this election
has highlighted how both parties are changing demographically and politically," he said. "Democrats are becoming more liberal; Republicans are becoming more conservative. Democrats are becoming the party of higher education; Republicans are becoming the party of the white working class."
Miller said the popularity of outsider candidates like Bernie Sanders and Trump surprised many voters.
"Both parties are diverging demographically and ideologically. People were surprised by the rise of Bernie and Trump, but really shouldn't be when you think about how the parties are changing," he said. "The Democrat Party of Bill Clinton is dead; the Republican Party of Ronald Reagan is gone. That was a generation ago."
Miller said Trump's popularity among Republicans
in this cycle, compared to support for former nominees Mitt Romney or John McCain, is an indicator of the party's direction.
"Trump was nominated with much more consensus among Republicans than Romney or McCain were," he said. "I think Trump has shown that there is an appeal to the way he talks and the kind of policy he promotes."
Steinhilber and Prendergast, students at the
University, have different images of the GOP in the future, but they said it will depend on the result of this election.
"If Trump wins, he will basically be the party leader. If he loses, I see Republicans revamping [their] image," Steinhilber said. "If Trump loses I think we'll see the voices of younger Republicans shining through."
Steinhilber said he would like to see the GOP become more moderate and be more inclusive.
"I think the party needs to look to the future, and what they need to do to be successful," he said.
Prendergast said a Trump victory could send the GOP down a more conservative route, but she hopes to see a more moderate party.
"Obviously, I can't speak for all young Republicans, but I think we need to have more consensus in general," she said. "The parties are really moving away from the middle right now and that causes a lot of the disagreements, as we see. There are plenty of Republicans who would disagree with me, but I feel the younger generation wants to move to the center."
Although both parties face uncertainty and questions, most eyes are on the Republicans, Miller said.
The Democrat Party of Bill Clinton is dead, the Republican Party of Ronald Reagan is gone. That was a generation ago."
Patrick Miller Professor of political science
"They certainly have some challenges," he said. "I think a lot of what's happened raises the question: What is the Republican Party going to stand for? I think they face questions about what the next four years will be like."

University sees increase in students taking online courses
▶ TANNER HASSELL
@thassell17
For many students, the on-campus experience is a major part of going to college. For others, the on-campus experience isn't an option, and that's where online coursework comes into play.
Online courses at the University allow traditional and nontraditional students to take classes on their own time, and the option is growing more popular every year.
Assistant Director of Academic Outreach and Online Programs Samantha Montague said the number of students taking online-only courses through the College of Liberal Arts and Science has increased by over 100 students since 2015, when the courses were first offered.
"The number of students in online-only programs has definitely increased," she said. "We went from 64 in fall of 2015 to 162 for fall 2016. As students need access to a hybridized curriculum, the number taking online courses has increased."
There'
There's a lot of value to the on-campus experience, but for people that need the credential and have time restrictions, it's a very good option."
Dee Steinle Administrative Director of Masters Programs
Montague said the growing popularity of online courses is likely associated with the number of students who have to work and take classes. Online classes, she said, give those students a chance to graduate on time.
Montague said courses that fulfill the University's core curriculum requirements are some of the more popular options offered by
the college.
"Typically, KU Core curriculum has been popular in the online format," she said. "We have hybridized versions of language curriculum and a fully online Haitian course."
In the School of Business, the online MBA program has also grown in popularity, said Administrative Director of Masters Programs Dee Steinle. The school has 278 students in the program one year after its creation, which she said has exceeded expectations.
"The reception has been really surprising," Steinle said. "It's nice to know our brand carries so much weight, not just locally but around the country."
Steinle said the MBA program is done in an entirely online setting, which allows students to earn an MBA on their own time and in a more personable format.
"It's really a self-standing degree," she said. "The students in the program look a lot like the students utilizing our part-time program at the Edwards Campus. They're generally working, professional people who are looking to add to a four-year degree."
While Steinle said the traditional experience is the best all-around option for students, she said the online MBA is designed to cover the critical elements of business.
"There's a lot of value to the on-campus experience, but for people that need the credential and have time restrictions, it's a very good option," she said. "Students on the ground may find that mixing in online courses is a good option."
That makes the program a more valuable option for those who have time restrictions, but it can still be advantageous for traditional students on campus as well.
we handle the online courses with the same amount of resources and oversight," she said. "The online courses mirror on-campus courses in quality."
Montague said online courses are just as good as on-campus courses, in terms of the quality of the degree.
"Here at the University,
With online courses growing more popular, Montague said the college is looking to expand online-only degree options.
"We hope to offer a few more majors online, as well as more certificates and minors," she said. "We absolutely want to expand. One of our main missions is to provide access to those who don't have the time for a traditional experience."
Steinle said the School of Business will certainly expand its online program in time.

Proven Leadership
Dear Friends and Neighbors:
Now is a good time to review Barbara Ballard's long and impressive record of service, so we can work and vote to send her back to Topeka. Some things are changing within the state, and we should all benefit from Barbara Ballard's experience, leadership, wisdom, poise, and energy as these changes develop.
Barbara now Chairs the Minority Caucus for the Kansas House. She is also known nationally, as President and member of the Executive Board of the National Black Caucus of State Legislators. Within the Kansas House, she is a member of the all-important Appropriations Committee, the ranking Democrat on the Social Services Budget Committee, a member of the Transportation Committee, and a member of the Home and Community Based Services and KanCare Oversight Committee, which will have a great deal of highly important work to do in the coming session.
Barbara has served well, and continues to serve Lawrence in a good variety of ways with Board service for Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center, Cottonwood, Inc., and a past member of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors. Barbara earned Master's and Doctoral Degrees in Guidance and Counseling, and Counseling and Student Personnel Services from K-State. At KU she is currently Associate Director of the Dole Institute of Politics, after directing the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center and serving as both Associate Dean of Students and Associate Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs. These experiences, many of them related to her terms as a member, and twice President, of the USD 497 School Board (1985-1993), give her a welcome comprehensive understanding of the ways our state's public education system works, which has been threatened in recent years. Barbara Ballard carries both a professional perspective and common sense about how we could and should improve on Kansas public education, our best hope for our children and grandchildren.
Barbara Ballard then has extraordinary qualifications to continue her service and leadership in the Kansas House, not only for the 44th district, but for all of Lawrence and surrounding counties, and for the entire
I will do my best to provide the most accurate and faithful representation of the image as it appears. Please feel free to ask if there are any details I missed or if there are any questions that need to be addressed.
November 8th. She is a good one.

Doerr: Offensive team mascots need to go
@UNIVERSITY

CW: Racism
Walking into work at the Western Reserve Historical Society in Cleveland three summers ago, I walked underneath a 28-foot neon sign depicting the Cleveland Indians "Chief Wahoo" mascot in baseball garb in order to enter the Library. His left leg curls underneath him above the entrance as he prepares to swing at an imaginary pitch.
Last week, I encountered the "Chief" again, as the Cleveland Indians swept the Boston Red Sox in the American League Divisional Series, advancing to win the American League pennant and a chance to play in the World Series. Above the spurts of champagne stood Cleveland's offensive logo on the team's caps.
The modern version of Cleveland's logo adorns most Cleveland baseball memorabilia, but I won't go into specifics describing it. The most amazing part of this logo's history is that the modern incarnation is somehow more humane than past ones, which are also still sold on memorabilia.
Working in the Library behind the "Chief," I learned that much of Cleveland's population emigrated to the United States after 1900; waves of Jewish, Hungarian, Polish, Italian and African-American immigrants came to work in the major factories after Theodore Roosevelt lamented the disappearance of "the frontier." It speaks to the ubiquity of the stereotype that it features so prominently in a Rust Belt community.
A very different history exists here on the Plains. Existing reservations scattered across the state exist because of a violent history. Most of Kansas' original white inhabitants were settlers who came to make a living on land that
was either taken by force or was in the process of being taken.
Lawrence itself is home to the Haskell Nations Indian University, founded in 1884 as a boarding school tasked with assimilating its Native students. And, thanks to the bravery of Native protesters, among others. Lawrence was one of five cities to send a letter of support to the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in the midst of its battle to protect its land from a pipeline (#NODAPL), featured next to cities such as Seattle and Minneapolis among others. The ways in which this battle and continuous process has shaped Lawrence, Kansas, and the Plains region is both clearly visible and continually important.
Some argue that because Native Americans are less visible to mainstream (i.e. white) Americans due to the intended isolation of reservations, that it has been hard to create momentum to make changes to the names and logos of the Indians and other racially offensive team mascots.

But that can't be true. Cleveland, for example, was one of nine urban areas that the United States government actively encouraged Native Americans to emigrate to under the Indian Urban Relocation Program of 1952; 750,000 Native people would eventually move
from reservations into urban areas. Native Americans are present and have contributed to urban American history in recent decades and many before that.
While working in Cleveland that summer, an educator from the Navajo Nation confronted me about the 20-foot abomination outside of our door. I apologized profusely, and later spoke to my supervisor, who also expressed remorse for the sign. Despite our personal objections, a decisive majority of funders and patrons of the museum wanted the sign to remain prominent. Indeed, the mascot is now seen by tens of millions of Americans each night during the World Series.
The continued existence of the nickname and logo has been blamed on both the Cleveland Indians organization and its ownership, but to blame solely the organization
ignores the culpability of its fans, who continue to make the logo and nickname profitable.
For many Cleveland fans, and fans of other teams with racist mascots, the trouble of changing gear outweighs the effort required to recognize our violent history and continued marginalization of Native Americans, and the effect that offensive stereotypes such as "Chief Wahoo" have in perpetuating that marginalization. Until this effort no longer outweighs the inconvenience of putting a hat down or changing shirts, for most fans, the Indians' name and its logo will continue to be both popular and profitable.

McCarthy: Rigged election claims unfounded
> KEVIN MCCARTHY
@kevindmccarthy

Like many Americans, I have just about had it with this presidential election. Being a political junkie, however, I still check my Twitter feed every day to see the latest woman who has accused Donald Trump of sexual misconduct or the new emails that WikiLeaks released about Hillary Clinton and her campaign.
Donald Trump has said a lot of hateful, offensive and downright false things in this election, but this has to be among the biggest fibs he has told so far. These claims are simply not grounded in reality.
One headline stood out to me in particular last week: a tweet from Trump that said, "Of course there is large scale voter fraud happening on and before Election Day."
These claims are simply not grounded in reality."
6
Trump and his surrogates have also claimed that there is a "massive problem" with "illegal immigrants [who] are voting." At a rally last week, Trump cited research by professors at Old Dominion University, claiming that more than 14 percent of noncitizens in both 2008 and 2010 were registered to vote. However, this study has been largely debunked by experts. A Harvard professor who manages the data used
Does voter fraud happen? Of course it does, but not on the scale that Trump is suggesting. According to a report by a professor at the Loyola Law School, Los Angeles, out of one billion ballots cast, there were only about 31 incidents of voter fraud found between 2000 and 2014.
Despite this evidence, Trump has continued to say that the election is being "rigged," and the reason he is not winning in any polls is because the "crooked media" is biased against him. During the third presidential debate last week, he even refused to say he would accept the results of the election.
in the study said the data was misused and the study's conclusions are wrong.
As you can probably tell, I am not a big fan of Trump. That being said, if he were to be elected president of the United States, I would accept the results.
America considers itself to be the greatest democracy on Earth. That means that we have the expectation of free and fair elections. Every
losing presidential candidate in American history has conceded to the winner. Even Al Gore conceded to George W. Bush in 2000, and with the controversy surrounding that election, he could have contested it for years.
The peaceful transition of power is one of the basic tenants of our democratic system. It is one thing to dislike the outcome of the election, but to say that it is illegitimate because it did not turn out your way is not only childish but dangerous.

KU alumni developing feature-length film
GUS HUNNINGHAKE @gushunninghake
The limitations of living in small-town Kansas jumpstarted Ben and Jacob Burghart's interest in filmmaking. That, and a little nudge from their mother.
"It was mostly boredom," Ben said. "Plus our mom would lock us outside to get us away from video games."
This drove the Burghart brothers, both University alumni, to create their own short action films, and will culminate with the production of "Follow the Leader," the duo's first feature-length film.
Even at the ages of eight and ten, the Burgharts had to figure out how to think on their feet. When friends couldn't show up to film or didn't want to play that day, Ben and Jacob would use action figures, or themselves, as stand-ins. Doing this opened up their understanding of decision-making, not just from behind the camera, but from the actor's side as well, they said.
Originally conceived in 2009, "Follow the Leader” was a project that the Burgharts shelved, knowing there was some potential in the idea.
When they came to the University, Ben and Jacob began entering short films in the Wild West Film Fest, a local biannual short film contest. They especially enjoyed the horror-themed competition in the fall. This is where they met Josh Doke, now a collaborator on "Follow the Leader."
Instead of continuing to compete against the brothers, Doke and his partner began to talk with Ben about collaborating on a future project. This led the brothers to eventually pitch their idea from 2009 as a feature-length film to be produced by Doke's production company, Rockhaven films.
"Follow the Leader" takes place in the 1990s and tells the story of three people who are dropped in an abandoned mall. One has lost their sight, the second has lost their hearing and the third is now mute. When they discover that they are not alone in this mall, they must work together.
er to survive and hope that trusting one another can get them through this unimaginable tight spot.
Ben said the film takes place in the 1990s because they wanted to hearken back to a nostalgic time. Doke said it's also useful to be able to remember the year.
"It also makes for better source material,"Doke said. "It gives us more ideas to draw from since we grew up in that time."
Ben added, "We also wanted to use the '90s in a sort of satirical sense. We kind of want to ask the question, 'What if the good old
days weren't actually all that great?"
"What if the good old days weren't actually all that great?"
Ben Burghart Filmmaker
Recently, the Burgharts started a Kickstarter campaign to raise $10,000. With just under two weeks left, and nearly halfway to their goal, they hope to use the funds for almost every aspect of the
production process, from the set, to the camera package, to their actors' wages.
Both Doke and Ben expressed their hope that this film resonates throughout Kansas and beyond its borders. Production is set to begin in February.
"We don't just want to make a film that's good for being from Kansas," Doke said. "We just want to make a good film. Period."

Could you write a novel in only a month?

@L0neW0lfMcQuade
November is known for Thanksgiving, Movember and the beginning of the holiday season. However, for aspiring writers, it is also National Novel Writing Month.
National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) is an international nonprofit that invites anyone in the world to write a novel in just a month's time. Those who participate in NaNoWriMo begin their journey to a 50,000-word novel Nov.1, writing until Nov.30.

reactions of others."
NaNoWriMo prioritizes quantity over quality, the ultimate goal being a 50,000word novel. Although the quality of the novel may not be the best, Siemers said it's a great accomplishment to balance your time wisely to reach the goal.
"The point of NaNo is not to write perfectly, but to get out your first draft," Siemers said. "It's about getting rid of your excuses."

an inconvenient month for students to write novels, as the classes are beginning to focus on finals, but he has still been able to do it.
Kenney said he first heard of NaNoWriMo as a freshman or sophomore in high school from an upperclassman who had been participating in the event. It wasn't until three years ago that he finally took on the challenge and was able to complete his first

novel during the allotted time. Now he's done two more, and he said his first novel was his worst.
NaNoWriMo is a free event and has sponsors that offer prizes in the form of gift certificates or other goodies. But Kenney said the real reward isn't so tangible.
"The reward, honestly,
is the work you end with," Kenney said.
National Novel Writing Month is free to participate in but does collect donations in order to keep up the website and run other programs through the nonprofit. For more information, visit nanowrimo.org.

Former Paramore drummer's new band to play in KCMO
▶ SAVANNA SMITH
@SavSmith27
Zac Farro started his career at the age of 12, when he helped start the now-defunct band, Paramore. Two years later, he was touring around America with the band.
It wasn't until the Nashville, Tenn., native had spent the entirety of his teenage years on the road that he said he realized he needed to find himself. That revelation led him to spend a year in New Zealand.
"I was kind of growing up on the road," Farro said. "I needed a place to hit the restart button, if you will."
During his time in New Zealand, he said he realized he wanted to write his own
music, and continued to travel and write for himself. Now 26, he's returned with HalfNoise.
HalfNoise — Farro's new alternative indie pop project — will play at the Tank Room in Kansas City, Mo., on Nov. 2.
"For the most part [Half-Noise] – it’s kind of like my baby," Farro said.
While listed on iTunes as an alternative band, Farro described his music as "alternative indie pop music." He said HalfNoise's music is quite different from Paramore's. He grew up listening to indie pop, so that genre naturally came to him as inspiration as he started writing his own music.
Colleen Hand, a fan of the band and a freshman
from Wichita, said Half- Noise has a lot to offer.
"The music is kind of all about the beat, right?" Hand said. "For the everyday listener walking down the street needing something to listen to. That works. But if you're that person who really wants music to take you to another place and wants it to be thought-provoking and relaxing then he's a perfect artist to listen to."
Farro's most recent album, "Sudden Feeling," which was released in September, will be showcased at the show. He said the album has been heavily inspired by two legendary bands.
"The songwriting is inspired by the Beatles, and
the rhythms are inspired by the Talking Heads," Farro said.
Farro said his live show includes a lot of percussive and upbeat elements, making the show enjoyable for those who don't know the band.
"Also, even if you don't know HalfNoise's music,
I wrote this album to be upbeat so even if you can't sing along, even if they don't know the music, they can connect in some way," Farro said.
The concert will also feature Brother and Sleepwvlker. Tickets are $10 and available online at thetankroom.com.

Hoedl: TV shows can encourage civic engagement
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
► ALYSSA HOEDL
@ahoedl
Politics don't usually get people excited about discussing their views; however, the television industry has seemingly tried to change that by producing more and more shows having to do with American politics.
Three TV shows that really delve into American politics are "The West Wing." "House of Cards" and "Scandal."

knowledge people have about politics and get involved the better our political system works."
Now, not all of these shows are as factually accurate as others, but they all show the American people what theoretically could
happen within the confines of Washington, D.C., and they're a good way of driving political conversation.
"The West Wing" premiered in 1999 and ran until 2006. It followed fictional President Josiah Bartlet (Martin Sheen) and his two terms in the White House.
The show focused on the inner workings of the different staff members in the senior staff of the President and their struggles to get legislature to pass, and more.
While "The West Wing" tended to try to stay in the more realistic realm and
nave a lighter feel. "House of Cards" and "Scandal" both have a much darker tone.
The main focus of "House of Cards" is on power couple Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey) and Claire Underwood (Robin Wright) and their quest to do whatever it takes to get ahead in Washington, D.C.
"Scandal," created by Shonda Rhimes, is very similar to "House of Cards" in the darker sense, however, its focus is on crisis management leader Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) and her relationship with
the White House and other political leaders around Washington D.C.
The storylines in these shows may seem way too out-there, however, after watching this year's presidential election process play out, they seem a lot more realistic.
Political shows can help people who don't have much political knowledge get active and start to learn about what really is happening in our country. Even though politics usually don't feel as interesting or as exciting as what we see happen on screens, it's still important.
The more knowledge people have about politics and get involved, the better our political system works. If the best way to get people involved is to create fictional political shows that illustrate a crazy and intense Washington D.C., so be it.

Payne turns in big performance against Texas
- JORDAN WOLF @JordanWolfKU
As the Kansas volleyball team walked off the court following its 3-2 victory over Texas on Saturday, a crowd of Jayhawk fans stayed in their seats, chanting "Kelsie! Kelsie! Kelsie!"
The inspiration for their chants, Kansas junior Kelsie Payne, had just led the Jayhawks to their first victory over the Longhorns in 13 years. She finished with 21 kills on a .254 hitting percentage, and picked up 6 blocks as well. Her performance was certainly worthy of an ovation, and she was thankful to have received such a warm reception.
"They're amazing," Payne said about the fans. "They support us through thick and thin, even in like, the fourth set when we fall and they were still cheering for us and being loud, so that's all we could ask for."
Entering the match, the Jayhawks knew they would have to get things going on offense to combat Texas' conference-leading attack. Payne stepped up to steer the ship.
Payne wasted no time getting things going. Despite a slow start by the team that ended in a first-set loss, she found herself with seven kills as the second set began.
She didn't look back.
Payne continued her dominance throughout the rest of the match, finishing it off with three kills in the shortened fifth set. 21 kills were good enough for a team high, and were accompanied by second-highest block and hitting percentage numbers.
It was her fifth time leading the team in kills in the last seven games. As the Texas game and end of conference play approached, coach Ray Bechard knew Payne's role would need to be big.
"She's into it," Bechard said. "I told her, the second round of the Big 12, that she
needs to give her very best effort in front of every team that she plays.She had a good first round, but I think she can be even better in the second round."
As a junior, this was Payne's first victory over Texas in six tries. After years' worth of anticipation finally paid off, she was overcome with elation.
"You can kind of picture it, but it's not the same until you actually do it." Payne said.
Kansas and Texas are now tied atop the Big 12 standings. With just six conference games remaining on the schedule, the Jayhawks will need to finish strong in order to keep at least a share of the conference title. No match will come easy, and Payne and her teammates know that.
"We're gonna enjoy this moment, but then we're gonna get right back to it tomorrow because Big 12 isn't over, and anything can happen," Payne said.

During media day, redshirt sophomore guard Mckenzie Calvert said she wasn't worried about impressing in her first game at Allen Fieldhouse. She just didn't want to embarrass herself.
In her first game, an exhibition against Fort Hays State, Calvert and fellow transfer junior Jessica Washington accounted for 34 percent of the Jayhawks scoring. Calvert went 7-of-15 from the field while Washington went 5-of-13 in a 98-71 win on Sunday.
"I'm happy that I got to finally be out there and play on a such a legendary court," Calvert said. "Though I'm not overly excited about some of my shot selection."
Coach Brandon Schneider was quick to point out that Sunday's win was not without its faults.
"All of our bigs fouled everybody," he said. "A lot of that is just discipline. Everybody thought they were Mutombo leaving their feet, bad closeouts."
Senior forward Caelynn Manning-Allen started the game, but played just nine minutes, committed four fouls and scored just six points. Midway though the third quarter, Manning-Allen had played only four minutes but had three fouls. Her first
three entries in the play-log read "foul-turnover-foul."
Calvert and Washington played a combined 56 minutes and committed three fouls, combined.
"She's obviously really athletic," FHSU coach Tony Hobson said of Washington. "I've seen a lot of athletic people in my life that don't have the ball skills to go with it, but she has it all."
"She's obviously really athletic."
With two new athletes available in Washington and Calvert, Schneider wants to continue the pace the team had in its last season, something he's done for 19 years as a coach—even before Kansas—and was evident Sunday afternoon.
Tony Hobson FHSU coach
"I think the fans like watching when we play fast," Schneider said.
"It's really fun," Calvert said of the speed. "I've always been on up-tempo teams, which is why I came here. It's really fun getting out and running with your teammates."
While Schneider wasn't happy with the team's foul trouble, he did like their unselfishness, especially in transition. Kansas had 26 total assists, eight coming from Jessica Washington, who fell two shy of a double-double.
Kansas' tempo challenged FHSU, primarily because the team has had only 12 practices, according to Hobson. He said the team had to stop what they were doing in practice just to install inbounds plays.
FHSU shot 33 percent from the field and only 20 percent from behind the three-point line. The Tigers were forced to play four true freshmen in their normal rotation due to injury.
Junior guard Chayla Cheadle had 18 points for Kansas, tied for team best with Calvert. Sophomore guard Aisia Robertson had 13 points in just 16 minutes. Schneider also said he thinks Robertson has a chance to be the best on-ball defender for Kansas.
With the win, Kansas advanced to 26-1 all time in exhibition games inside Allen Fieldhouse. The last time the Jayhawks scored 98 points or more was three years ago in 2013 against Texas Southern.
"Their first ever game being here, I didn't even know if they'd be able to get up and down the court," Hoboson said.
Kansas will finish its exhibition slate with a game against Washburn next Sunday at 1 p.m.

The Kansas men's and women's cross country teams competed against their conference foes this past Saturday at the Big 12 Championships. The event was highlighted by a firstplace finish by sophomore Sharon Lokedi with a time of 20:18.5. This marks the first time in the women's program history that a runner has captured an individual league title.

The women's efforts put them into sixth place, and the men finished in fourth place. Iowa State took the team title on the women's side and Oklahoma State placed first on the men's side.
Lokedi said she had been working for the moment and knew she had it in her to succeed.
"With each mile, the more I ran, the better I felt. I was like, 'I can do this.' Once I reached [the 4K mark], I knew that was the time to go. My body was adjusting well and mentally, I was ready," Lokedi said in a press release.
Lokedi's progress gives real hope to the coaching staff and the rest of the program.
Senior Hannah Richardson ran a solid race, placing 19th with a time of 21:22.0. The rest of the Jayhawk scorers were junior Lydia Saggau in 31st, senior Malika Baker finishing 33rd and senior Jennifer Angles, who placed 46th.
"I am really excited for Sharon. She's phenomenal and she's done nothing but great things for us. She really prepared well for this," coach Stanley Redwine said. "So it was really nice to see her hard work pay off. Hopefully this is just a sign of what's to come."
"I'm happy, but I know we still have a lot to do as a team," Lokedi said. "This is just the beginning. We have more to do and we have more to work on. We must look forward and

Self Farms·One Dozen Championship Rings
It's hard to believe that Kansas has won, in some capacity. 12 straight Big 12 championships. Winning the title every year has become so second-nature to Kansas fans.
After Bill Self won his seventh Big 12 title in 2010, after the celebration and the nets were cut down, he was asked about
Now, Self is one season away from hitting that mark. One season away from accomplishing what even he admitted was the impossible. One season away from one of the greatest runs in college basketball history.

UCLA's thirteen-straight conference titles, a college basketball record.
Self already has more Big 12 rings than he does fingers. But this season, when Kansas can tie the longest conference championship streak of all time, there seems to be some kind of added emphasis.

Senior forward The Leavenworth native was a consensus first-team All-American and Big 12 Player of the Year after he averaged an absurd 20.3 points and 11 rebounds per game. His No. 23 jersey was retired in January 2011.
SEASON AT A GLANCE
Kansas started this year at No. 1 in the polls and rolled off 14-straight wins before taking a 19-point loss to Villanova. The Jayhawks closed the regular season by losing four of their last six games, and went 1-2 in postseason play. The last loss hurt the worst, of course, as No. 3-seeded Kansas fell to No. 14-seeded Bucknell in the first round of the NCAA tournament after Simien's game-winning shot clanked out.
BY THE NUMBERS 1,812 Langford finished his career as the seventh all-time scorer at Kansas with 1,812 points.
.091 — Kansas had a poor three-point percentage in the game against Bucknell that ended the season. The Jayhawks were 1-of-11 from behind the arc.
21 — Previously, the Jayhawks had advanced past the first round of the NCAA tournament for 21 straight tournaments before this loss, brought on party by Langford's flu and ankle issues.

Simien blazes the trail for Kansas
MIRANDA LENNING
originally published in 2005
For a guy who doesn't show much emotion on the court, Wayne Simien was certainly fired up yesterday.
Even before the tip-off, Big Dub had his hands in the air, waving to the 16,300 fans in Allen Fieldhouse. After Kansas' 81-79 victory against Oklahoma State, he was fist pumping like Tiger Woods.
Not to mention what happened during the game. The senior forward put the Jayhawks on his back, scoring a career-high 32 points and adding 12 rebounds.
After the game, he was all smiles. He knew his team had gotten an important victory.
"I'm not one to show much emotion, but this was just extra special today," Simien said. "This was one of our last home games, two of the top teams in the country were going at it fighting for a championship, emotions were hot and the crowd was into it."
For the first time in four games, good things did happen for the Jayhawks. Their coach got a victory against his mentor and his alma mater. The Jayhawks, 21-4 and 11-3 in the Big 12, regained sole possession of the conference lead. And perhaps more importantly, Kansas won a close game against a good opponent, and played like one of the tops teams in the country.
The Jayhawks clearly knew they had to do one thing to win. "Just feed the beast and good things will happen," senior guard Aaron Miles said.
Self said he'd never been a part of a game where two teams competed harder,where the atmosphere was better or as well officiated.
It was tough week for the Kansas basketball team. After losing to Oklahoma last Monday, the Jayhawks did some soul searching. They put in work on the practice floor and shut themselves off from the outside world.
No media. No cell phones. No distractions. The Jayhawks just wanted to focus on playing Oklahoma State. They didn't talk to the media all week. Saturday night, they turned their cell phones over to the coaches. It didn't matter that they had family and friends in town. This team was determined to be focused.
"I think we did a good job of eliminating those outside distractions," Miles said.
The return of junior forward Christian Moody to the line-up was another instrumental element of the Jayhawks' success yesterday. Simien shot the ball 17 times, three less than he had in the previous two games combined.
Simien scored 14 first half points as the Jayhawks shot 68 percent from the field in the first half. The thing is, the Cowboys were just as good. They had just two turnovers in the first half and went 5-10 from behind the arc.
"He just made himself Big 12 player of the year," senior guard Keith Langford said. "We just rode his back."
The 39-39 halftime score left for a leave-it-all-out-on-the-court second half. Self said he didn't want to play anyone more than 16 minutes in the first half because he anticipated an intense second half. Other than Miles, who played 17 first-half minutes, none of the Jayhawks went over 16. The Jayhawks opened the second half with an 8-0 run that put them up by as many eight with about 12 minutes to play.
Before Kansas knew it, they were down by seven points with 6 minutes left.
The Jayhawks appeared to be in trouble. So what happened in the games' final minutes?
Kansas finished the game on a 12-3 scoring run ignited by a Miles three point shot with 4:30 left. That gave the Jayhawks momentum and they tied the score at 78 with 1:30 to go.
"Wayne," Langford said. "He got after it, made some big plays and got a couple of big stops."
Miles gave the Jayhawks their final lead with 30 seconds left in the game. Guarded by Oklahoma State guard JamesOn Curry, Miles blew past the freshman, drove to the bask-ket and layed the ball up over senior forward Ivan McFarlin.
But the Cowboys went on a run of their own, rattling off 10 straight.
"Christian did a good job of screening my man," Miles said. "They had to respect Keith out on the wing so they didn't help too much and I just found the opening."
Holding onto a 80-79
lead, Miles went to the line. He missed the first but sunk the second to give the Jayhawks a two point lead. The Cowboys had the ball with 19 seconds left. Senior guard Daniel Bobik inbounded the ball to senior guard John Lucas. It appeared that Oklahoma State wanted to get the ball to senior forward Joey Graham, but the Jayhawks' defense didn't allow them to get set up.
"We told our guys to switch on all ball screens," Self said. "Joey set a ball screen and it looked like they wanted to get it to him to shoot a three."
Lucas was forced to take a quick three at the buzzer that would have won the game, but it was short, hitting the front of the rim. Simien fist-pumped. Self high-fived his players, then he hugged his mentor.
Langford said it was just good to smile again.
"I'm happy," Langford said. "I'm happy for coach Self and his family. I am just excited that we got the win."

KANSAS 82 FLORIDA 80 (OT)
Julian Wright scores career-high 21 points
> SHAWN SHROYER originally published in 2006
AS VEGAS - For five games, Kansas searched for an identity. Late Saturday night, it found one.
"Our guys were ready, focused, they played with a free mind, they weren't up tight and weren't trying to hang onto something. They went out and tried to take it," coach Bill Self said.
What No.* 10 Kansas took away was No.1 Florida's perfect record and any doubt that the Jayhawks could be one of the elite teams in the country this season, winning 82-80 in overtime and taking home the Las Vegas Invitational title.
"We could have been 0-5 and we still would have come out and played hard against Florida," junior guard Russell Robinson said.
Considering all that Kansas had been through, the upset against the defending national champions gave the impression that the Jayhawks' recent struggles might be behind them. Kansas shot well, rebounded well and defended well against the best team it'd played in the Bill Self era.
But, as well as Kansas played as a team on Saturday, one player set the tone for Kansas — tournament Most Valuable Player, sophomore forward Julian Wright.
When there was any question as to who would make a play for Kansas, he answered.
"Julian, in the first half, was just as good as a guy can be in college," Self said. "I thought he was fabulous."
"To be honest with you, I thought we were down by 20 with the way we played in the first half," Donovan said. "I was shocked it was only a six point game."
Wright refused to let the Jayhawks fall behind in the first half. At one point, he scored six straight points for Kansas, and of the Jayhawks' last eight points of the half, he had five. He finished the half with 17 points and Kansas went into intermission up 37-31.
Far from out of the game, Florida came roaring back in the second half. Florida's starters scored a combined 29
Of course, Kansas didn't expect Florida to roll over. The Gators were crushing opponents before Saturday, winning by 40.5 points per game. Self drilled that fact into his players to keep them focused.
Wright's performance left Florida coach Billy Donovan feeling lucky that his team was still in the game at halftime.
"Coach used that as motivation last night," Robinson said. "He said, 'Hey, if you don't do what you've got to do, you're going to get beat by 40.'"
points in the first half and combined for 29 points after halftime.
lay-in to put the Jayhawks up 81-80.
What Self said clicked as the Jayhawks matched the Gators' intensity, even when Wright's production dropped off.
Wright said the victory was a result of players looking to make plays. "We're not going to always blow a team out," Wright said. "Once we have a mentality that we just play simple and make plays, eventually the scores take care of themselves."
and scored six of Kansas' 12 overtime points, finishing the game with 19 points.
Although finishing with a team-high 21 points and 10 rebounds, Wright added just four points after halftime. His teammates picked him up. Arthur, Robinson, and sophomore guards Mario Chalmers and Brandon Rush combined to score 41 points after the half.
Following two of Arthur's free throws that brought Kansas to within one, 80-79, Wright came up with a steal and called timeout before Florida could get a jump ball call. On the ensuing possession, Chalmers found Rush underneath for a
BRANDON RUSH Freshman guard
Freshman guard Rush led the Jay hawks in scoring with 13.5 points per game from the wing, along with 5.9 rebounds. That was good enough for Big 12 Freshman of the Year and All-Big 12 First-Team, the first player to accomplish that in the Big 12, making him one of the best freshman performers in Kansas history.
Florida rallied in the second half and at the end of regulation, the game was knotted 70-70. It was only fitting that Arthur would be the Jayhawk who took over in the extra session.
Arthur grabbed three key rebounds in overtime
SASHA KAUN
JULIAN WRIGHT Freshman forward Wright, alongside Sasha Kaun, provided a nice frontcourt presence for Kansas after Wayne Simien graduated. Wright averaged 8.5 points and 4.6 rebounds in his freshman season, including a strong performance in the win over Texas to win the conference tournament.
sophomore center, Kaun, at 6-foot-11, was second on the team in rebounds with 5.3 per game. He started in 29 of the team's 33 games after starting in only two games as a freshman.

Freshman Kevin Durant was making highlight-reel shots from everywhere on the court. So what did coach Bill Self do?
He told his players to back off of Durant.
"We said to make Durant beat us, because everybody else was lighting us up," he said. "Just try to keep the other guys under wraps."
That, combined with a textbook example of the law of averages, fueled a second-half comeback that led to a 90-86 Kansas victory.
The Longhorns shot 11-for-14 -79 percent - from three-point range in the first half, including a perfect 5-for-5 from Durant. That number plummeted to just 19 percent in the second
Meanwhile, the Jayhawks never dropped below 50 percent from behind the arc, not panicking or rushing shots during the Longhorns' hot streak.
half.
At halftime, Self told his players not to focus on Durant, because he was going to be spectacular no matter how many hands were in his face, but to focus on the rest of the Texas team.
Wright and junior center Sasha Kaun scorednine of the first 11 points in the second half, cutting the Longhorns' lead to two.
"Coach told us that there were no 12-point plays, but we can be aggressive and try to put pressure on them," Wright said. "We were able to get inside more and get to the rim."
"It's a long game," sophomore guard Mario Chalmers said. "We just wanted to keep playing the way we were defensively."
Self said he was pleased with the way his players handled the halftime deficit.
Sophomore forward Julian Wright led the charge as the Jayhawks took back the paint, denying Texas guard D.J. Augustin open shots off screens and keeping him away from the basket.
"It's good to be under pressure situations, and I think our guys felt pressure in the first half," he said. "It's good to be able to play out of that."
On the offensive end,

The Longhorns left Allen Fieldhouse impressed by the depth and talent of the Jayhawks.
"They have somebody for every position," Augustin said. "They have big guys and they have guards."
Wright took his turn stepping up on Saturday, holding Durant in check with man-to-man coverage and allowing the rest of the team to neutralize the Longhorns in the second half. Self tipped his hat to all the players, saying the athleticism was at a high level.
"There wasn't a lot of play running out there," he said. "There were a lot of guys making plays."

seconds to make sure Kansas extended the game and kept its dream season alive. He dribbled to the right wing behind the three-point line and nearly lost the ball.
Then, Chalmers separated from his man for just long enough. Collins found him. Trailing 63-60, Chalmers shot a three near the top of the key. Overtime.
Brandon Rush started out with a layup. Chalmers and Darrell Arthur combined for an alley-oop. When Collins made two free throws to put Kansas up 75-68, the game was finished. Chalmers' shot had sparked all of it.
The extra period was all Kansas.
A happy ending seemed implausible late in the second half. Memphis' Derrick Rose nearly killed Kansas. With Memphis down 45-42 midway in the second half, Rose scored 12 straight points for Memphis. He couldn't miss if he tried. Really. Rose fired a long off-balance
"I just knew we had the game after that," Arthur said.
jumper at the end of the shot clock and banked it in. The basket gave Memphis a 56-49 lead with 4:10 left.
The Tigers stretched that lead to 60-51, and it looked like Memphis would cut down the nets.
"A lot of guys thought the game was over," Darnell Jackson said, "but we just kept saying believe."
Self said those exact words to his team. Chalmers used Self's message and the memories from last season's comeback victories against Texas to motivate him.
Arthur took the inspirational words to heart as well. It was no surprise to see Chalmers take over in the clutch. Arthur was more of an unexpected hero.
Kansas has known all season it plays superior ball when Arthur is active. Problem was, that didn't happen too often.
In the tournament, Arthur's inconsistency got even worse. The one they call Shady reverted to his mind-bogglingly inconsistent ways throughout the postseason, disappearing in every game.
Monday night he was a changed man. Arthur scored two big baskets toward the end of regulation and got another one in overtime. He finished with 20 points. Arthur had played his best game in the biggest game of his life.
It's something he'll never forget, something all the Jayhawks will never forget. They battled through adversity after two losses in three games in late February and didn't lose the rest of the way.
Now, they're champions. They'll go down as one of the best teams in Kansas history. It's something Russell Robinson has hoped for since the season started.
After all the dancing, high-fiving and screaming stopped, Robinson sat in the back of a golf cart with his head in his arms and a net around his neck, thinking about the accomplishment.
"You couldn't really have written it any better," Robinson said. "No way you could've written it better."
SEASON AT A GLANCE
Kansas won its first NCAA Championship since 1988 with a care team that had been together for three years in Robinson, Chalmers and Rush, Kansas split the Big 12 regular season title with Texas, but won the Big 12 tournament title over the Longhorns at the Spring Center, 8474. Kansa then topped Stephen Curry's No. 23 Davidson and No. 1 North Carolina to get to the National Championship. There, Kansas scored 12 points in the final two minutes of regulation, going perfect from the field, including the three-point shot from Mario Chalmers now nicknamed
— now nicknamed "Mario's Miracle" — to tie it at 63. Kansas ran away with the game in overtime to win, 75-68.
BY THE NUMBERS
BY THE NUMBERS 1 — Kansas' victory gave the Big 12 its first and what is still its only men's basketball championship team.
2 Memphis was favored by two points going into the National Championship game. Also, Kansas is one of only two schools to win a BCS Bowl game and a men's basketball national championship in the same school year.
37 — The team's 37 wins are the most in a single season in Kansas basketball history.

Stormin' Norman: KU wins Big 12
CASE KEFFER
originally published in 2009
NORMAN, Okla. Two blue blurs raced across the floor at the Lloyd Noble Center as the buzzer sounded on Kansas' 87-78 victory against Oklahoma.
It was junior guard Sherron Collins running up the sideline smiling and freshman guard Tyshawn Taylor sprinting toward the middle of the court. Eventually, the two paths of celebration met.
They shared a quick exchange, telling each other "good game," before Collins added an extra message.
Collins, Taylor and the Jayhawks are done waiting now. Kansas (23- 5, 12-1) is in sole possession of first place in the Big 12 Conference and three victories away from winning its fifth straight Big 12 regular season championship.
"He was like, 'Man, this is what we've been waiting for.'" Taylor said.
The Jayhawks have Collins, Taylor and sophomore center Cole Aldrich to thank for it. Aldrich might not have had the energy to sprint across Oklahoma's gym after the game, but his presence was as important as anyone's.
After all, Aldrich recorded a career-high 20 rebounds. Taylor set a career-high with 26 points. Statisticians don't keep career-highs of big shots, but Collins would have certainly passed his.
But Self didn't want to take too much credit. Heck, he wasn't even the one calling the shots by the end of the game.
"This was a great win," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "You don't see this too often from young kids."
At least three times, Collins waved off the plays Self wanted from the bench with the game on the line. Self was helpless.
"I have no choice," Self said. "He's got the ball."
14
Not that Self would want it any place else. Collins reaffirmed that Monday when he tied a career high with 26 points.
Twice, the Sooners trimmed the Jayhawk lead to three points within the final five minutes. Both times Collins refused to run the Jayhawks' offense. He took three-point shots from the top of the key and swished them to ensure Oklahoma wouldn't get any closer.
The Jayhawks appeared to be in a position where they could coast to victory with 11 minutes remaining and their lead at a game-high 20. It wasn't that easy.
"He feels like it's his
ream," Self said. "I'm really proud of him. He's been great."
Collins' biggest shot came with 2:30 remaining. The crowd had reached deafening levels after Oklahoma freshman Willie Warren — who had a team-high 23 points swished a three-point shot to make the score 74-71. The next possession, Collins received a pass from Taylor and made one of his own. Oklahoma never got it down to a one-possession game again.
Of course, Kansas may have never been in that position without Taylor. Oklahoma opened the game on a 22-8 tear. At that point, Collins gathered the team and told them not to let this one slip away.
Taylor must have listened. He made three three-point shots before the end of the half to finish the first 20 minutes with 16 points. Kansas went into the locker room with a 36-29 lead.
"I told him it was his game," Self said. "He was great. Tyshawn — best game he's had in college."
Self stopped right after that statement. He wondered aloud if it might have been Aldrich's best as well.
Aldrich crippled Oklahoma's offense by dominating the glass and getting nearly every loose ball around him.
He also scored 15 points. But on a night where no other Jayhawk totaled more than three rebounds, Aldrich's 20 rebounds might have been the difference.
"I knew I had a lot," Aldrich said. "I thought, 'Well, I'm going to try to get every board I can.'"
Of course, this might not have happened if Oklahoma forward Blake Griffin would have played. Griffin — the favorite to be named the national player of the year — averages 22 points and 14 rebounds per game and could have neutralized Aldrich inside.
Griffin sat out of the game with a concussion. Self admitted the Jayhawks were at an advantage playing the "Blakeless" Sooners. But Aldrich wasn't so sure the outcome would have changed.
"With or without Blake, they're a great team," Aldrich said. "They showed that tonight."
With Collins, Aldrich and Taylor performing as they did Monday, Kansas can call itself a great team one that's now at the top of the standings in the Big 12.
No wonder Collins and Taylor didn't slow down once the game ended.
"We feel pretty good," Collins said.

KU celebrates Senior Night with 7th title
TIM DWYER originally published in 2010
It's supposed to be a feelgood night - Senior Night is. The seniors are supposed to have grins on their faces as they give their speech after beating some Big 12 foe. They're supposed to be able to crack jokes and get laughs, even if the jokes aren't that funny.
The smiles were there Wednesday, just like they're supposed to be.
And it seems they were a little bit wider when the Jayhawks clinched their seventh consecutive Big 12 title on the same night. It's a streak unmatched since UCLA's untouchable run of 13 consecutive Pac-10 championships, which ended in 1979.
"It is amazing," Self said. "I don't think anybody's won seven in a row. And of course, they had 13, and we aren't getting 13."
Thirteen may be out of reach by Self's count, but there's plenty of pride to
be had in seven, which no team has accomplished since the advent of the three-point line in college basketball.
When the Jayhawks don't lose at home, that's
And talk about impressive: With this title, Self now has as many losses at Allen Fieldhouse as he does consecutive conference championships. That stat speaks to Self 's unerring consistency and a primary reason why the Jayhawks are so difficult to top in conference play.
eight conference wins. Go at least .500 on the road
- the worst conference record in the streak was 12-4 - and it's tough for anyone else to claim the crown.
"This is the best place to play in the world, believe it or not," senior guard Brady Morningstar said.
The Jayhawks can say they are the best team in the conference again, and Morningstar, hesitantly did just that.
"I mean," he said, pausing. "Yeah."
He didn't want to say yes, it seems, because the title isn't theirs alone just yet, so the Jayhawks aren't happy. A loss at Missouri and a Texas win at Baylor this Saturday would mean a split title with the Longhorns, the only Big 12 team the Jayhawks haven't beat this season.
"It's a pretty good accomplishment," senior guard Brady Morningstar said. "But we've still got business to take care of Saturday. We don't like sharing our titles."

Tyshawn Taylor smiled and shyly leaned away from the microphone, staring down the table at his coach with something in between hope and cockiness in his eyes.
Taylor had just said that he hoped his 20-point, five-assist, four-rebound performance was good enough to prove "that I could start for the rest of the time."

"When we play like that, it's going to be hard to stop us," said Marcus Morris, who was named
the tournament's most outstanding player after the game.
Basically, if there were flaws, they were miniscule and very difficult to find. The Jayhawks got their dream rematch with Texas, the only team they had played and not beaten, and they made the most of it.
"It just happened the perfect way for us to get them in the Big 12 Championship and for all the marbles," Morris said.
The Morris twins, who struggled in the first meeting with Texas, flourished with defensive stalwart Tristan Thompson relegated to the bench with foul trouble. Thompson played just 11 minutes and his backups were unable to hold the twins. Marcus finished with 17 points and six rebounds on 6-of-9 shooting, while Markieff had 14 and nine rebounds on 6-of-9 shooting.
"That was the best defense that we played in a while," Self said. "We played the scouting report very well."

The Longhorns scored 73 points, nowhere near the fewest Kansas has allowed this season, but the high score was more a product of the frenetic pace than of any particular efficiency from the Longhorns' offense. Jordan Hamilton — who was a member of the all-tournament team alongside the Morris twins, Colorado's Alec Burks and Texas' Thompson — led the Longhorns with 21 points, but it took him 21 shots to get there.
"I thought we guarded in a high-possession game," Self said. "Especially the first half. And I think that set the tone for a lot of things."
- Kansas broke the school record for home-court wins when it recorded its 63rd win at Allen Fieldhouse against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. The streak ended at 69 and was the longest home winning streak in NCAA basketball.

"Missouri players played with house money," Self said. "We came out there trying to protect as opposed to go take."
For a 15 minute span, Missouri hit 17 of 23 shots while Kansas' offense sputtered. Robinson and junior center Jeff Withey, who turned his ankle early in the game, both picked up two fouls in the first half. The silent fear of the Fieldhouse, from the Kansas bench to the student section, was tangible.
With Robinson and Withey on the bench, Self played junior forward Kevin Young for 28 minutes and senior guard Conner Teahan for 37.
may become, quite possibly, one of the most epochal plays in Kansas basketball history. The kind of play that shows up with Mario Chalmers and Wilt Chamberlain on the pregame videos. The kind of play that, years from now, helps people remember this rivalry when it lived. And he did it, so he says, with his eyes closed.
The No. 4 Jayhawks (24-5, 14-2) trailed by 19 points with 17 minutes left, but erased the deficit in an arduous second half and won 87-86 in overtime, clinching at least a share of an eighth consecutive Big 12 title.
"Revenge, payback," Robinson said. "It definitely feels good. It felt like someone just jumped us and ran away and we finally caught up to them."
The game, the last of its kind, the final Border Showdown with conference-title implications, was tied at 75 when junior forward Thomas Robinson blocked the shot.
Robinson abandoned senior guard Kim English in the right corner after sophomore guard Phil "Flip" Pressey ignored a screen and dashed for the hoop. With two seconds to play in regulation time, Robinson hung in the air and swatted Pressey's layup attempt with a hammering right hand, denying the Tigers a victory, sending the game into overtime and riling the Fieldhouse crowd to a volume that was deafening.
"Thomas isn't a shot blocker," coach Bill Self said. "That was a big-time play from a big-time player."
Young, who finished with eight rebounds, five points and four blocks, energized a stagnant Fieldhouse with dunks and hustle plays. However, it was senior guard Tyshawn Taylor who once again took nothing and turned it into points.
"Who would have ever thought that that would be what we needed to do to win?" Self said.
With his team down 19, Taylor hit a three-pointer, but was quickly answered with a three from senior guard Marcus Denmon. Taylor then found junior guard Elijah Johnson for two more threes in a 65-second span. Teahan hit two of his four threes after that to help carve into the Missouri lead.
Taylor hit a quick three for the first points of the overtime period and drained two free throws with eight seconds left to win the game. All this comes after Taylor missed two free throws in the final minute of the 74-71 loss at Mizzou Arena on Feb. 4.
Down 75-72, Johnson skipped a bounce pass to Robinson, who finished a layup with a Dixon foul, knocking him to a sideways landing on the blue paint. Robinson hit the free throw, then sent the game to overtime with his block.
"I feel good," Taylor said after the victory. "Words can't even describe how I feel."
After Taylor's free throws, the Tigers had one more chance, but Johnson blanketed Dixon, who zipped a pass to Denmon as the clock expired. Denmon's shot bounced around the rim and fell in, but it was just too late.
As the buzzer sounded, Self walked on the court, the furor of the crowd swirling around him as he pumped his hands in the air.
"We had the game in our hands," English said. "We gave them a gift."
"I'm not the most emotional guy," Self said. "But that was as good as it gets."
The comeback tied for the largest in Allen Fieldhouse history and gave fans of both sides a spectacle to witness before Missouri departs for the Southeastern Conference.
It was over. The final edition of the Border Showdown with everything on the line.
If it has to end, if these seemingly perfect foes must never again face off in an important game, at least it ended like this.
"We're never going to be a part of something," Robinson said, "as big as this game was tonight."

Who would have fathomed Iowa State marching into Allen Fieldhouse and holding a lead until the bitter last seconds?
Or that the Cyclones would knock down an unimaginable 14 three-pointers?
Or that Kansas could go more than eight minutes without a field goal?
So when McLemore launched the Jayhawks' last effort to hang onto a 30-game winning streak at home, every patron grabbed a last breath of the victorious air and held it in case there wouldn't be another, silenced by
"We got lucky," Kansas coach Bill Self said of the Jayhawks' 97-89 overtime victory.
how it ever came to this point.
But McLemore was ready for the shot. After quietly putting up 13 points in the first half, the freshman started making explosive plays with Kansas behind late in the second.
It started with a four minute stretch where McLemore scored 10 points
Lemore scored 10 points - four of which came on one possession as he was fouled while sinking a three.
The shots just kept falling for McLemore, one after another and from no spot in particular. It wasn't that he couldn't miss, it was that he didn't.
"I haven't seen too many perimeter players ever take 12 shots and get 33 points," Self said of McLemore. "This was Ben's night."
KANSAN.COM
And on Ben's night, with Kansas trailing 79-76 and eight seconds remaining, the last attempt
wasn't going to anyone else.
Naadir Tharpe kicked off the infamous Kansas "chop" play - the same play that set up Mario Chalmers for his National Championship tying shot in 2008 and the same play that failed two months ago against Michigan State.
"It reminded me of the Michigan State game with me not taking that shot," Johnson said. "I was thinking maybe I've got to check myself this time and make sure it's not my shot."
Tharpe dribbled up the right side of the court, handed the ball off to Elijah Johnson as he cut to his left and let Johnson find the next option.
It wasn't, and instead Johnson found McLemore, whose defender had sagged off. Without hesitating, the freshman let it fly.
"This is about to hit off the glass," Naadir Tharpe recalled thinking.
"He didn't call glass," Self said.
Then silence.
Intended or not, the shot kissed the backboard and fell straight in, just like McLemore's previous four attempts behind the arc on the night.
"I called bank," McLemore said after.
Yet this wasn't like his other shots. This one set off a blast of emotions that Kevin Young could only compare to last year's 19-point comeback against Missouri as Kansas fans began breathing again.
"It was a great screen from Elijah," McLemore said. "I just shot it and it felt good coming off my hand."
The Jayhawk faithful kept their rowdy demeanor until there was no doubt Kansas had locked up another victory.
And after a moment of silence everyone had something to say, including one Kansas fan who barked a question at the Cyclones as they walked off the floor.
"Was it loud enough for you?"

One of three-star freshmen to make his debut this season.
Selden was the third or fourth scoring option his freshman year. He finished the year with 9.7 points per game, including a 24-point game against Oklahoma.
ANDREW WIGGINS freshman forward He might not have lived up to the unreal expectations surrounding his recruitment, but Wiggins did leave Kansas as the highest-scoring freshman in school history. Before going first overall in the 2014 NBA draft, Wiggins averaged 17.1 points per game and also lead the team in steals per game on his way to first-team Big 12.
ANDREW WIGGINS
PERRY ELLIS
sophomore forward Ellis largely slipped under the radar this season because of Wiggins and Embiid, but still managed to finish second on the team in scoring with a 13.5 point-per-game average. Ellis had a huge breakout game against TCU with 32 points and eight rebounds.
JOEL EMBIID
freshman forward Embiid didn't start to begin the season, but once he did, Kansas became an elite defensive team. Embiid led the team with 2.6 blocks and 8.1 rebounds per game before getting injured towards the end of the season.
SEASON AT A GLANCE
Kansas entered the year ranked No. 5, but an early win against Duke saw the team jump to No.2. The lack of experience in the starting lineup led to a 23-8 regular season and saw Kansas exit the NCAA Tournament in the third round with a 60-57 loss to 10th-seeded Stanford.
597 - Andrew Wiggins' 592 points in a season isn't just the record for any Kansas freshman, it's the 22nd highest season total in Kansas history.

Schuster: Fans celebrate 10 straight
▶ BLAKE SCHUSTER
BLAKE SCHUSTER originally published in 2014
Sitting high enough in the corner of Allen Fieldhouse to reach the rafters, John and Suzanne Cole couldn't help but smile as the Jayhawks took the floor.
Sure, the couple had been here before - John went to just about every game as a student before graduating in 1966 but rare are the games when you wish the clock would just run a little faster.
Monday was one of those games, and despite the fact it would likely be the only time the Coles visited Allen Fieldhouse all year, even they waited patiently for the game's end.
That's when the real
festivities began, when Kansas was crowned Big 12 champion for a 10th straight season after defeating Oklahoma 83-75 and wrapped up a decade that started with disappointment and ended in disbelief.
"When Roy [Williams] left I thought it was the end of the world, but Bill certainly changed our minds," Cole said. "It just shows you what kind of a coach he is. This was his toughest test."
Self, of course, passed with an "A" and nine pluses. And even though he wouldn't let
his team celebrate, he couldn't stop the student body.
Echoes of "10 Straight!" filled the Fieldhouse while the band belted "Hey Jude" and DJ Khaled.
It's the type of environment that starts with someone like Ellen Waters, a freshman from Cimarron, who anxiously ripped up her newspaper in the student section while the Jayhawks went through their pregame routine.
Waters was in junior high school when her parents took her on a five-hour journey to Allen Fieldhouse for the first time. Before the game even started, Waters was hooked.
"I just remember when that first video
came on it made my heart race and I had goose bumps," Waters said. "That was it."
”
Sometimes it's kind of expected."
Ellen Waters Freshman
She never bothered touring or applying to other schools. Now she waited as the clock wound down again and her Jayhawks would stand on top of the league
it's hard for her to remember if that was never the case
"Sometimes
It's expected for someone like 9-year-old Pearse Long - named after Paul Pierce, of the phonetically same last name - who was accompanied by his father Eric. They counted down the minutes with everyone else.
it's kind of expected," Waters said.
"To be here to see the game they clinch it in would be pretty neat," Eric Long said. "For my son it's just another day in his life. That's all he knows."
Winning the Big 12 is only a birthright if you're under the age of 11.

And for a few in attendance on Monday night it's the only game they'll see in Allen Fieldhouse. For most it's the only game they'll need.

D own 57-49 with less than two-minutes to go, the Jayhawks appeared to be on their way to losing their final home game of the season, while missing out on a chance to clinch the Big 12 title outright at home.
Brannen Greene stepped up to the line and knocked down a couple of free throws, and then Jamari Traylor followed with a layup to cut the West Virginia lead to four. However, the Jayhawks still needed to make up the rest of the margin, and time was running out.
Enter Frank Mason III.
After the game, Kansas coach Bill Self couldn't help but chuckle when asked about his point guard's performance down the stretch, despite playing so many minutes.
Mason would rattle off eight more points, accounting for just under 50-percent of the team's scoring in the extra period, despite having played a game-high 42 minutes. The Jayhawks would go on to win 76-69, despite trailing at one point by 18 points.
The sophomore from Petersburg, Virginia rattled off back-to-back baskets on consecutive possessions, and when the second half had finally come to a close, the Jayhawks had managed to tie the game at 59. At that point, Mason had scored 11 points, but wasn't even close to being finished.
"We couldn't get anything to fall; guys were missing threes," Mason said. "Not once did I think [we would lose]. We kept believing in each other."
"I felt like nobody [could] stay in front of me," Mason said. "Every time I had the ball, I could make something positive happen."
Mason finished the game with 19 points and seven rebounds, but to him, it wasn't at all about the stats. Only one thing was on his mind: Winning.
"He's in great shape," Self said with a smile.
Mason also said that he drew inspiration from the 2008 National Championship team that won the title despite being down nine points with less than two minutes left. He said the "little things like that" were what let the team know that
they could make a run, and he certainly played like it down the stretch.
With the win, the Jayhawks secured the Big 12 title outright, but the game held a little extra meaning in Mason's mind, for a couple of reasons. With it being the final home game of the year,
the Jayhawks had one last chance to get a win for senior Christian Garrett, but Mason added that the win was for even more than just the senior.
18-game double round robin. Kansas will play at Texas Tech, while Oklahoma will host Kansas State on Saturday.
"January 4th is too early to be having games like this," Self said. "It was a great way to showcase a great league and certainly everyone is going to be talking Big 12 now."
"We wanted to do it for [Christian], but also for the program [and] for the fans," Mason said. "We made it happen."

KU outlasts Sooners in triple OT
SHANE JACKSON
originally published in 2016
Kansas had the ball with a chance to win it at the end of the regulation. Then again in overtime. Then again in double overtime.
Finally in triple overtime the Jayhawks were on the defensive end in the waning seconds of the game, this time leading by one.
Oklahoma's star senior guard Buddy Hield was inbounding the ball with 11 seconds to go. Junior guard Frank Mason elected to face-guard him, as opposed to filling a passing lane. Mason was draped all over Hield and began leaping up and down. As Hield fired off the pass, Mason ripped the ball away, taking it the opposite way.
"Right before the play the ref told me to not get close to the line," Mason said. "But after he handed the ball in, there is nothing he can do, so I took a step closer and just went all out denying."
"It was an epic game," Self said "The only game I have been a part of in this building that rivals it is that Missouri game."
Mason would be fouled and sank both of his free throws, to give No.1 Kansas the 109-106 win over No.2 Oklahoma.
He added: "We beat a team that could win the National Championship tonight."
But there was a time that the prospect of a finished game, let alone a Jayhawks victory seemed bleak.
With seven seconds left in the first overtime, senior forward Perry Ellis rushed a midrange jumper that barely grazed the bottom of the backboard. Fortunately for Kansas, it tipped off an Oklahoma player and Kansas maintained possession with two seconds remaining.
"I'm just disappointed that we couldn't quite feel that satisfaction," Oklahoma head coach Lon Kruger said. "You don't win in here very often so I would've liked that for them."
At the end of the regulation, Kansas had the ball with 20 seconds and the score knotted up at 77. Mason wound down the game clock before attacking the lane, tossing up an off balanced floater.
From there, Kansas ran a play from underneath that gave junior guard Wayne Selden Jr. an open look from the right wing, but his shot clanked off the front rim.
Mason's shot smacked hard off the back rim, and junior forward Landen Lucas was called for an over the back foul, attempting to go for the rebound. As a result, sophomore forward Khadeem Lattin went to the line with two seconds left.
He'd miss the free throw, which was the front end of a one-and-one. The game headed into overtime.
Monday's triple overtime thriller more than lived up to the hype of highly touted No. 1 vs. No. 2 meeting. It was the first such matchup in Allen Fieldhouse since 1990. Kansas had lost all four previous meetings of the top two teams in college basketball.
"I got this," He yelled, with a chance to snap Kansas' 31-game win streak in Allen Fieldhouse on the line.
Hield certainly did his part in attempt to hand the Jayhawks a fifth loss. The senior guard scored 46 points, tied for the highest scoring output by a visiting player in Allen Fieldhouse. Hield was 13-of-23 from the floor, including 8-of-15 from long range.
"Wayne had an uncontested wide open look to win it," Self said. "Considering both teams were exhausted
"I just hate losing. No matter how good I do, I believe I could have done better," Hield said. "I hate the fact that we came up with a loss, and this is my last time playing in this building. It sucks going 0-4 here."
In the second overtime two of the top three-point shooting teams in the nation traded some shots from distance. But as the clock began ticking down, once again Kansas had the ball in the waning moments.
46-point outburst, he is well on his way to becoming just the third player in the history of the Big 12 to average more than 25 points a game. The other two were Kevin Durant of Texas and Michael Beasley of Kansas State.
This time with the score tied at 94, Mason drove to the cup and threw up an off balanced layup that was unsuccessful, allowing for a third overtime. It was the first time in the Self-era that Kansas was a part of a triple overtime game.

Calvert, Washington aim to put KU back on track
▶ JARED ANDERSON
@jAnderson_383
While Jessica Washington was listening to Young Thug before games on Kansas' European tour this past summer, McKenzie Calvert was coloring.
"I actually have to color sometimes before games, because I am too amped up," Calvert said. "I can't really listen to fast music or I'll go out there and get four fouls right away."
Regardless of how these two prepare for their games, Calvert and Washington know how to excel on the hardwood and hope to elevate the Kansas women's basketball team to success this year.
Kansas has drastically under-performed during the past two seasons. Due to its poor play, Kansas is projected to finish last in the Big 12 preseason rankings for the second straight year. The team went 0-18 in the Big 12 during the 2015-16 season and, as a result, finished with a 6-25 record.
During his first two
years as head coach, Brandon Schneider has been on a mission to bring in prized recruits to Kansas and improve the team's performance.
In his second season as head coach, he has done just that by bringing in Washington from North Carolina and Calvert from Southern California.
In her senior year of high school, Calvert was the No.15 overall recruit in the ESPN HoopGurlz rankings. Washington was the No.14 overall recruit in 2013 and is the second McDonald's All-American women's basketball player to ever attend Kansas.
Now that the two guards have both sat out a season due to NCAA rules, they are tasked with producing for Kansas in 2016-17.
This summer, on the team's European tour, when Calvert and Washington got their first opportunity to play, the Kansas women's basketball team went 4-0 while averaging 93 points per game. Although the competition may not have been the strongest, coach
Brandon Schneider said it was important to give them an early chance to work with the team.
"[Calvert and Washington] spent the entire season last year kind of working into things, but I thought they had really good summers," Schneider said. "I feel like they have a lot of experience already, even though it hasn't been on the court here in Allen Fieldhouse."
With the additions of these two players, Schneider said the style of play the Kansas team brings to the floor will change from last season.
"The pace that we play with will be quite a bit different, you know when you talk about [Washington] she's going to play some point guard and I think that we can move her off the ball a little bit too," Schneider said. "[McKenzie Calvert] can really score in a lot of different ways and I'm hopeful that McKenzie, maybe along with Aisia Robertson, will be two of our better on-ball defenders."
With both players watching the games from the bench last season, Calvert and Washington have formed a bond both on and off the court.

Everybody has a role and everybody has to play their role in order for us to be successful."
McKenzie Calvert Redshirt sophomore guard-
"We are attached at the hip, we work out together, we go to the gym together, we make sure we're on each other with our academics. We're in a lot of the same classes, so we are close, but we always make sure are teammates are included in what we do," Calvert said.
The hype surrounding Calvert and Washington has been sizable. Even with these high expectations, Calvert insists that it isn't about two players; it's about a team.
"At times it's overwhelming, because people are like
'Oh [McKenzie Calvert] and [Jessica Washington]', but we make sure to always tell everybody that it's not the 'Kenzie and Jess' show," Calvert said. "Yes we're here, yes we were ranked in high school, yes we're highly noted, but we're not going to win a single game without 13 other people on the team, everybody has a role and everybody has to play their role in order for us to be successful."
"When a lot of recruits come here, they know Coach Brandon is capable of bringing in top talent and that this isn't a place you should shy away from," Calvert said.
Calvert and Washington both hope to start winning games at Kansas. One of the reasons why they believe it will happen is because of the coaching staff's recruiting ability.
Schneider's sincerity, along with the addition of Calvert, is what ultimately led Washington to transfer to Kansas.
"I felt that the coaching staff was very genuine when they were recruiting me and
I also knew that when I took my visit here, I felt very comfortable with the girls on the team," Washington said. "[McKenzie Calvert was also a big part of me coming here too," she added.
Kansas is hopeful to land some more top recruits in November, but for now Calvert and Washington are focused on playing their first games in Allen Fieldhouse.
"I just want to come out and perform the way I know how to perform," Washington said. "The progress we've made is crazy."
Calvert, on the other hand, has been counting down the days.
"I made my own countdown in the locker room,' Calvert said. "It's amazing to see how hungry our whole team is ... It's al about basketball here at Kansas."
Calvert and Washington will make their regular season debuts on Sunday, Nov 13 against Missouri State.

It must have been interesting to hear Kansas women's basketball coach Brandon Schneider tell his contractors that he wanted his new house to be able to regularly accommodate more than 20 people.
Now his house in Lawrence is finished and team members routinely drop by unannounced to work on homework, do their laundry, swim in the pool and
get home cooking from Schneider's wife, Ali.
"I finally have a house," the coach said. "I was living in an apartment all last year so the team wasn't coming over."
"They're over all the time, whether a recruit is in town or they just want to swim," he said.
Schneider's new home allows him to host his team more often than he has in the past.
Swimming is available for the players even when
Schneider isn't home. Transfer McKenzie Calvert described a time players came to visit one hot summer day.
"I was like, 'Guys, it's so hot, we have to go swimming,'" Calvert said. "I called him and we got his dog out and went in the backyard and swam."
The kitchen is an integral part of the floor plan, too.
"[Mrs. Schneider's] sweet potatoes are my favorite," said Calvert, a redshirt sophomore guard. "I don't have to put brown sugar on them, usually I do but hers are just great."
The family atmosphere is a tradition, Schneider says, one that dates back to the teams his dad coached.
"We're always going to have that family atmosphere and that's something that I think was lacking last year," Schneider said.
"It's what I grew up with, being a coach's kid," he said. "Players were over all the time. There'd be times when I'd come home and I didn't even know the players were going to be there."
Schneider hopes that having a close-knit team
There's no saying for sure if Schneider's house will impact recruiting but it certainly can't hurt. Kansas hosted the No. 6 and No. 12 overall recruits in the nation for Late Night in the Phog. Another top 15 recruit in NaLyssa Smith recently narrowed her list
will allow them to be more successful this season.
down to nine teams, including Kansas.
"It's a really nice house so that's great for recruiting," senior forward Jada Brown said.
Schneider lives with his wife, Ali, two sons Cash and Cole and the family dog, but he has made it clear his team is also welcome.

With the rise of small ball NBA lineups, it's no surprise that college basketball often moves away from traditional lineup structure. What's surprising is that it's happening at Kansas with such great success.
To coach Bill Self's credit, he hasn't shied away from experimenting with lineups in the past. In 2014, Self debated playing former players Kelly Oubre and Wayne Selden Jr. as power forwards.
However, that makes more sense given Kansas'
history of developing forwards like Perry Ellis, Jeff Withey and Thomas Robinson, for example. History hasn't stopped Self from running a successful offense that features two point guards playing at once.
"I think the game is getting smaller," Self said at Kansas media day. "If you've got a three man playing the four spot, that puts a big guy guarding him, and if he can shoot, it's a hard matchup. We've always been a conventional three-out, two-in team, but I think this year we're going to get away from that a little bit."
Senior point guard Frank Mason III and junior point guard Devonte' Graham might be better suited to be simply called "guards" in Self's essentially positionless offense. The traditional roles of a point and shooting guard are thrown out when these two are on the court together, which has resulted in success so far. Kansas was ranked No. 1 in the nation for most of last season with Mason and Graham at the helm.
"I like it. I absolutely love playing with Devonte'." Mason said at media day. "I think it's great for our team when we have two good playmakers in the game.
Two good ball handlers in the game at all times."
I think it's great for our team when we have two good playmakers in the game."
Frank Mason III Senior guard
The two guards played almost identical minutes last season, and neither were affected negatively from the other being on the floor. In fact, the two set career highs in points, assists and rebounding while running this offense.
"We get other guys shots," Mason said. "That's a major key to the game, getting into the lane and creating easy shots for our teammates. Coach really likes that so I think it's good for our team."
On the heels of an Elite Eight appearance, Self seems to be sticking with the two upperclassmen in the starting lineup. What's not so concrete is who will surround them this season.
Some of the mystery is cleared up when considering highly touted freshman Josh Jackson's ability to
play as a guard.
"I see us playing small quite a bit," Self said. "It's really not small, Josh is 6'8", and we're not going to play him as a forward. We're still going to play him as a guard, but I think we'd be a hard team to guard if you can spread the floor with those four guards out there."
At Big 12 media day, TCU head coach Jamie Dixon said, "point guards win college basketball games." If that's the case, Kansas' point guard duo should win a lot of games.
