moved from the scholarship halls to Oliver Hall, she started to miss one of her favorite parts of campus: the University's squirrel population.
"They just bring a lighter side to campus life," she said. "When you come out of Malott after a tough test or whatever, and you see two squirrels eating fried chicken outside, it just makes you a little happier."
Many students, like Adams, have probably
noticed the strange behavior of the squirrels on campus, as well as their unusually high population. Robert Timm, a professor of ecology at the University, said the squirrel population will likely go up in the next year.
Timm, who specializes in studying mammals such as squirrels, said squirrel populations are largely dependent on two factors: winter habitat and food availability.
If the winter is mild or squirrels have good shelter from the cold, Timm said, more will survive through the winter and mate in the springtime. On the University's campus, the animals have plenty of places to shelter, including thick trees and the attics of old buildings.
"If you're in a really good spot, like a hole in a tree or an attic of an old building and we have a lot of older buildings here on campus — then it's easy to overwinter,"
“
pens is that the squirrels that are in those leaf nests freeze to death. So we lose half the squirrel
When you come out of Malott after a tough test or whatever, and you see two squirrels eating fried chicken outside, it just makes you a little happier."
Timm said. "If you have a really, really severe winter, then what hap-
populations, if not more, just from freezing to death."

According to Weather Underground's record of Kansas City weather by month, it appears that squirrels have had ide-
ai conditions for survival in recent years. Between December, January and February in the past five years, the average monthly temperature dipped below freezing in only five months out of 15. That's better than the five winters before that, during which nine months were below freezing.
If this year's winter is as mild as previous years' have been, the squirrel population should go up, according to Timm. Fewer squirrels will die during the winter, and many will be able to breed earlier than normal.

Axiom Equities buys former bookstore

@lara_korte
A real-estate investment firm has purchased the University bookstore that closed earlier this year, but has yet to decide what to do with it.
Axiom Equities, a firm based in Kansas City, Kan., confirmed on Monday that it has purchased the building that previously housed the Jayhawk Bookstore, near Crescent Road and Naismith Drive. The bookstore, which was owned by the Levin family, has been closed since June 30.

"We would rather get it right than get it fast."
As to what will replace the bookstore, Kalny said he doesn't know yet. The building sits just west of the Chi Omega fountain in a high-traffic area of campus. Kalny said Axiom is holding several conversations with different businesses, but wants to take time to get it right.
"We're having discussions with a number of interested parties, some of the discussions we're having don't sit as well as others," Kalny said. "It's a real front and center KU piece of real estate, it's going to be
highly disruptive if it's not right."
Although some students already have an idea of what they'd like to see in the empty building, Kalny said they're going to continue weighing options.
"We would rather get it right than get it fast, so that's kind of our focus," he said.

KU Dining utilizing new app
TANNER HASSELL
@thassell17
If you love a good crunchy chicken cheddar wrap, but you're sick of waiting in lines, KU Dining is utilizing a new app that could help.
The new app, Tapingo, was designed to eliminate wait times and stress associated with everyday purchases, according to its website.
Assistant Director of Retail Dining Alecia Stultz said the app allows students to order and pay for food and drinks, which they can pick up without waiting in line. She said the app was rolled out during homecoming week.
"It was a bit of a slow launch with all of the festivities but we expect it to pick up," she said.
Stultz said the app has 600 users on campus, with 50 to 60 transactions daily. Locations like Brella's and Roasterie coffee shops around campus have the app.
KU Dining implemented the app to help members of the University community buy food quickly, Stultz said.
"The app is the way to go now, it seems like [a lot of companies have] one," she said. "The biggest thing is offering another service for our students. Everybody's busy, everybody has a place to go, so if you can go into an app, pre-order your crunchy chicken cheddar wrap, walk through the Underground, pick it up and leave, then that is certainly an advantage."
Lannette Peoples, a junior and employee at the Underground, said some are already taking advantage of the app, but it can be inconvenient for workers.
"My main concern is that there isn't a specific time you have to come pick it up. Some people order in and pick it up right away, but others don't," she said. "At the coffee shop we have about 10 people a week."
Aside from her concerns, Peoples said the app could be a useful resource for students, staff and faculty on the go.
INDEX
"I think it's a big time-saver," she said. "Some people want to get their food quick and keep going, so I think this is a good way for them to do that."

winter, is ... squirrels running around being crazy," he said. "Males chasing females. It might be more than one male chasing one female or males battling it out."
Food is the other big factor in squirrel survival rates, Timm said. That situation also looks promising for the campus' population of squirrels. He said this year is "just a gangbusters year" for the squirrels' main food supply, which is acorns and walnuts.
But the squirrels on campus get another big source of food. Timm
"Our squirrels are going to go into the winter nice and fat, so that's good for over winter survivorship," Timm said.
said, that likely accounts for the bold behavior that many students notice.
"We've got all these students, you know, sitting out and eating their lunch, and a squirrel comes up to them and begs, and they flip it a potato chip or a french fry," he said. "So we have an artificially high population of squirrels because of the food that we give them."
While feeding squirrels human food isn't necessarily bad for the rodents, Timm said it does create an "artificial environment" for the squirrels that they wouldn't have normally.
"We trained them to be beggars, and why shouldn't they be? We give them really tasty sunflower seeds and potato chips," he said.
Adams, a biochemistry major from Shawnee, has also noticed the difference in these squirrels' behavior. Adams said she volunteered for a wildlife rescue organization in high school, so she saw many squirrels, but the ones in Lawrence took her by surprise.

"We have squirrels in Shawnee, sure," she said. "But they're not as bold as the ones here."
Adams said she loves to watch the squirrels and take pictures of
them, mostly because of their odd behavior.
"Squirrels here are like little people, whether they're running around or looking for food," she said. "Bunnies will freeze, but squirrels will just stare right at you ... Out of all the woodland creatures, squirrels rule the campus."
However, this familiarity can become inconvenient for other members of campus. University facilities services employees sometimes finds squirrels living in the nooks and crannies of buildings and have to quickly patch up the holes, according to Erinn Barcomb-Peterson, the University's director of news and media relations. Squirrels can also occasionally cause issues through their interactions with people.
"When Stouffer Place Apartments existed, residents were discouraged from feeding the squirrels food scraps, because then there were problems with the animals approaching people," Barcomb-Peterson said in an email.
Other than being an inconvenience, Timm said squirrels generally won't disrupt an ecosystem if they grow or shrink in population.
Now, Adams is living in the scholarship halls again, where the high number of trees mean squirrels are a lot more frequent on her walks to class.

Kathy Rose-Mockry, the director of the Emily Taylor Center, said the Nov. 5 class aims to be an enlightening experience for the participants.
"Safety is critical for our students, and this is empowerment-focused, and we provide specific skills that we know enhance students' safety and their confidence," Rose-Mockry said.
Annie McBride, the assistant director of the Emily Taylor Center, said this seminar stands out from others because of its emphasis on bringing
confidence into the class.
"Sometimes people have had disempowering experiences with self-defense classes, where they might have felt scared or shamed," McBride said.
McBride encouraged students, faculty and staff to participate in the class, regardless of their level of experience.

What a $45 million Union renovation could look like
▶ LARA KORTE
@lara_korte
Proposed renovations to the Kansas Union could include more study spaces, gathering areas and dining options, in addition to infrastructure updates.
Renovations are pending on an agreement from students to fund the $45 million project. Last month, Student Senate passed a bill adding a referendum to the election ballot. In April, the campus will vote on whether or not to add $50 to student fees for 30 years to fund the renovation. If the referendum passes, construction — and the fee increase - would begin in fall of 2019.

Proponents of the renovations say the update is long overdue.
"We have not done a comprehensive renovation of this building since it was finished in 1984," Lisa Kring, director of Building Services, said. "What we're seeing is certainly some of our systems that function in terms of temperature, plumbing and electrical are not at the caliber they need to be and they're certainly not running as efficiently as they should."
Kring said Union staff has held several meetings with engineering and architect firms to estimate the look and extent of the renovations. Right now the budget breaks down to about $38.5 million
for new construction and renovation, and $6.5 million for infrastructure, such as plumbing, heating and cooling.
The University is looking at ways to improve each floor of the Union, according to Kring. Chance Maginness, a junior and Union Referendum Campaign Chair, said there are no concrete plans right now, but he has a few ideas based on conversations with students.

We have not done a comprehensive renovation of this building since it was finished in 1984."

"A lot of the feedback we've been getting has been study spaces, more daylight, more flex-spaces," Maginness said. "So down on the third floor youd have a place you can eat, you can study, you can socialize, hold meetings."
In addition to facelifts to student areas, Brian Ptacek, maintenance supervisor for the Kansas Union, said there are several behind-the-scenes updates that need to be made.
"We have a lot of old plumbing that needs to be replaced, a lot of old electrical that needs to be
replaced, and these are comprehensive jobs," Ptacek said. "We are currently on a two pipe system, which means we only have heating or cooling, and we can't do both at the same time. It is really hard to control temperature and make everyone comfortable in this building."
Ptacek said an update to Union systems would make the building more efficient and save money on the utility bill. According to Kring, the union used 4,305,625 kilowatt hours in fiscal year 2016, resulting in a $386,535 utility bill. Kring said estimates have determined updates to infrastructure could cut that by 25 percent.
"I don't mean to position this as 'the building is going to fall apart in may if [the funding] doesn't pass in April," Kring said. "But I think the reality is, if we don't do something of a more comprehensive approach, over the course of 30 years, the things required to maintain the facility are going to be far more expensive than if we take it now and do what needs to be done."
Here are some of the renovations the Union Advisory Committee is looking at for different floors, according to Kring and Maginness.
LOOR 5: WOODRUFF AUDITORIUM AND MEETING SPACES Kring said the lobby area of the fifth floor often
gets clogged while people are waiting for events in Woodruff auditorium. Knocking out the Governor's Room and International room would make room for "pre-function space."
FLOOR 4: MAIN LOBBY AREA AND STUDENT INVOLVEMENT AND LEADERSHIP CENTER
The plan is to add a more open plan to the fourth floor for more study and lounge space. Kring said they would like to take out a conference room in the Student Involvement and Leadership center to create a "straight shot" to the Sabatini Multicultural Resource Center.
There's also potential for a outward-facing coffee shop where the Union Gallery currently resides.
FLOOR 3: MARKET AND DINING AREA
The third floor could see a lot of what Maginness called "flex spaces," essentially seating that could be used for a variety of purposes. He said right now it used mostly for eating, and not much else.
"We can take a lot of that space through here, put up some flexible wall space, put up some different kinds of seating that really give us the opportunities to allow students to come down here at all times of the day," Maginness said.
There is also the option for more dining options in the Market area.
FLOOR 2: UNION
FLOOR 2: UNION BOOKSTORE
According to Kring, the second floor wouldn't get any major renovations. If any, she said, they would be cosmetic changes.
FLOOR 1: HAWKS NEST AND MEETING SPACE
The goal for the first floor is to add more open seating and create a club/ sports bar vibe, according to Kring. Ideally, it would be an area that could host a variety of programming that a space like the Ballroom couldn't provide.
What used to be Jaybowl on the first floor has since been converted into a meeting space. Kring said they would like to knock down that wall and open it up for more space.

Uri: Core weakens the value of a degree
SKETCH
IKE URI
@ikeUri
Photo illustration by Missy Minear
A part from making it through one day of Calculus II, I've never set foot in a math or science class in college. While I joke about my lack of scientific background with my pre-med friends, I've come to realize, as I prepare to graduate, how much knowledge is missing from my undergraduate education. My ability to stay away from anything involving numbers is thanks to the KU Core, made mandatory my first year here. The Core, while drastically increasing flexibility for students, cheapens the value of a KU degree, depriving students of the necessary components of a liberal arts education.
There is value in the Core. I've been able to take a broad range of classes, sampling history, political science, and psychology. I've had the time to focus intensively on my major, giving me the resources to conduct independent research, and I'll somehow graduate with three minors. But, while flexibility is nice, I lack the quantitative backing that I would have received under the University's former requirements. Looking back, I wish that I had been pushed to dabble in math and the natural sciences, and, as I'm sure anybody majoring in those subjects will readily point out, my high school biology and chemistry classes that I got college credit for are not equivalent to studying those topics at a large research institution.
With the creation of the KU Core in 2013, the University effectively cut general education requirements in half.
from about 70 hours to just 36. Rather than demanding specific classes like Western Civilization, the Core emphasizes broad areas of learning. While these changes were made to increase four-year graduation rates, make it easier for students to do research and study abroad and increase the number of people getting three minors, they have instead weakened the value of a liberal arts education.
It's easy to overlook the importance of more traditional general education requirements. Beyond getting out of Western Civ., students can now more easily launch on specific tracks with little impetus to explore subjects outside of their area of interest. They can fulfill the requirements for the Core with relatively random classes that often don't truly connect to broader themes. For many, this is desirable. It shortens the educational path toward their career and allows them to avoid particularly pesky classes such as Western Civ. or calculus. However, it undercuts the value of higher education. Learning at the undergraduate level is, at its core, a process of exploration, with a strong emphasis on the liberal arts. While more traditional undergraduate paths may seem more restrictive, they instead prompt students to explore a variety of disciplines, giving them two years of consideration before having to commit to a major.
The importance of broader general education requirements goes far beyond allowing 18 year olds more time to choose their life paths. For our future, the world needs a population educated in the liberal arts. Studying philosophy language, literature, the natural and social sciences, mathematics and history gives us the background to address problems that our generation faces, making connections between seemingly disparate topics.
" Leaping into
Leapi
a narrowly focused program immediately out of high school does both the individual and society a disservice."
The liberal arts engender empathy and understanding, which are necessary to engage with others who may not hold our own views. Without the liberal arts, we lack the ability for productive dialogue and debate, the basis of our democratic society. We also struggle to understand our place
in a globalized world, failing to recognize how our actions affect those thousands of miles away.
While training in narrative and storytelling may seem silly to a chemistry major just as classes in biology may seem unnecessary to my fellow sociology majors, engaging in a broad range of academic interests is important.
Leaping into a narrowly focused program immediately out of high school does both the individual and society a disservice. Sociologists must understand both narrative and the natural sciences to work effectively on issues related to climate change, just as the climate scientists who produce data can better serve the world if they know how to connect their research to economics, politics and society. Topics that require such interdisciplinary thinking permeate our world today.
Studying the liberal arts, being able to form connections between
disciplines and understanding others through narrative is necessary to operate effectively as a global citizen.
As our climate changes and economic and political processes go awry, we need broad thinkers and dedicated learners to tackle these issues. Narrow-minded specialists who have not read Kant, gained experience in a lab and studied the failures of history cannot properly address the issues of our world. Global citizenship requires the ability to analyze critically and respond with broad capabilities, connecting expertise with larger trends. The University is taking away the requirement to think broadly from its undergraduates, leaving them less prepared to engage with the challenges that we will all need to solve.

Befort: Uncertain grading curves harmful
> BRIDGETTE BEFORT
@bridgettebefort
The semester's midpoint has now passed. Most students have taken their midterms and received their grades, for better or for worse. From now until the end of finals the main worry of many students, aside from the presidential election, will be grades. However, with this worry comes the problem for many students of having no idea where they stand in a course, the result of a concept called "the curve." A blessing and curse, the curve terrorizes the campus leaving students with no idea where they stand in a course or what it will even take to get the A.
For the naive freshman, fresh out of high school and thrown into the rigors college, a test curve is a device used to rank students in a class, so that a certain number
The problem with curves, however, is they are not applied until the end of a course, after all of the final grades are in. Throughout the semester professors rarely give students accurate knowledge of their current grades in a class. Thus, students have no idea what their grades are until the final grades are posted a week after finals are over.
get an A, a certain number get a B and so on. Curves ensure there is a range of grades, from excellent to dreadful, even if the scores of the entire class are below 60 percent. At the end of the semester a curve is helpful for most students because their grades are raised, and they scrape a B (or an A if they're lucky) in a class they were previously failing.
As an example, after completing all of the coursework in a class, a student can take a final
not knowing what he or she needs to score to achieve a certain grade because a curve may be applied which will mess this prediction up. Also, students may receive failing grades the entire semester and still scrape an A in the class,or they may be successful all semester,do poorly on the final,and receive a C in the class.
Overall, college courses are filled uncertainty: students have no idea if they are successfully learning material or if they just have the illusion of doing so.
This grade uncertainty can lead to high stress levels, anxiety and general demoralization, which is unhealthy for the campus climate. Stress and anxiety can be good motivators to achieving in classes, but can also cause damage to mental health.
Students who have failed every assignment
throughout a semester, without receiving reassurance that they will not fail the class, may drop out of the class, a major. or college, or may be so convinced they will fail a class that they won't bother studying for the final, even if a curve meant they would pass.
In fact, a 2010 study showed that grading on a curve discourages studying, indicating students who are convinced they will get a certain grade feel helpless: even studying will not help them achieve a better grade.
Grade uncertainty is a poor motivator and assurance from professors that harder work will pay off is not as helpful as it sounds. Both students and the grading system must change. Students should put in the effort to succeed in classes and not rely on a curve, while also remembering that, unless they drastically mess something up, they
will not fail a class. The grading system should do a better job of letting students know where they stand in a course instead of letting them suffer through a semester believing all of their efforts are wasted only to give them an A and make them wonder why they got it.
Mental health is a huge issue in college and grade uncertainty plays a big role in it. The college education system is not creating better informed citizens ready to enter the workforce, when the system is causing mental health and personal success problems preventing students from succeeding in school.

Student develops own genre from his dorm
▶ OMAR SANCHEZ
@OhMvSanchez
With a keyboard, a mic, studio monitors and speakers ready at his disposal, freshman Sterling Reynolds, a Leawood native, gets ready after a long day in class to produce his music within the tight walls of his dorm room in Self Hall.
"It's all for trying to make it someday," he said. "A lot of times throughout the day I'll try to finish my homework, finish studying and then from about 10 p.m. to probably 2 a.m. I'm working on my music or doing something related to music or art."
Reynolds, a business major creating under the name "sterling.," decompresses at night by working in his Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) and juggling beats and voice tracks with Ableton, a music production software program. It's a routine unlike most, he said. When most people sleep, he grinds.
In August, Reynolds released an eight-track album, "Comets," on SoundCloud. The longawaited day came after nearly a year of working
tirelessly toward some semblance of perfection.
"I wanted it out by June. That didn't end up happening, because I'm a huge perfectionist," he said. "If something didn't sound quite right to me or didn't sound like I was being true to myself, I would scrap it and just start something new ... I probably went through 30 complete songs before picking those eight at the end."
Reynolds said Lil Wayne's "A Milli," Daft Punk's "Something About Us" and Drake's "Club Paradise" are his roots, although he said he considers Frank Ocean his biggest influence.
Growing up, his older brother Collins introduced him to what would be Reynolds' musical palette.
"All three of those are different from each other, but they're all really wellwritten or have really good production behind them," he said.
Reynolds said he tries to make sure his instrumentals take the best elements of the genres he loves, and blends them into one specific thing that is its own genre.
But, he said, "at the same time it is something that can not be defined in a
genre."
The concept of "no genre" is important to Reynolds. While he primarily infuses elements of hip-hop, electronic and jazz into his music, like the use of southern rap-esque drum beats and distorted synths popularly heard in EDM, there is a powerful and distinct sound that comes from remaining ambiguous, almost coaxing his audience to dig deeper.
While Reynolds is proud of "Comets" as a final product, he proudly admitted to his musical shortcomings.
"Moonlight," one of the 30 tracks he worked on for the album, didn't make the cut due to its simplicity and lack of definition.
"I wasn't pushing myself at all," he said. "Then, actually, I took a break for the project after this for about a month. Because I finished writing it and I kept listening to it, and I was like, 'This isn't me and I need to take a step back, take a break. Because I'm trying too hard to do all this different stuff and try to be something I'm not."
Reynolds works predominately as the producer and singer in his music. He began working on "Comets" last November,
based on a fascination with one single lyric he wrote his senior year of high school: "Watch for the comets as they fall from the sky."
With that, Reynolds was off to the races. "Comets" became an introspective passion project that pushed him to improve as an artist after working with collaborators such as fellow producer Brooks Brown and Sam Brown, a friend from high school.
"The title track 'Comets,' that was like the biggest one that we had been working on up until when the project was released," Sam said. "He was having problems with the vocals and melodies and all that, so I gave him some ideas, especially with the bridge part."
I really wanted something that would represent me as an artist and something people would really enjoy."

Most of this work was
"It was a really long process," Reynolds said. "But because this was my first main project out as sterling., if I was going to put this out at all, it was going to be as best as I am. I really wanted something that would represent me as an artist and something people would really enjoy."
Reynolds said he's looking to perform in the future at open mics across Lawrence and the Kansas City area. In particular, he hopes to return to The Bottleneck.
About two years ago, Reynolds performed at The Bottleneck. But this was a premature introduction, Reynolds said, as he still hadn't pinned down what sound really represented him.
"This is the dream for me. I'd love to get to the point where this could sustain me, and where it'd a realistic option for me," Reynolds said.

lowkey listens
MYLAN JONES
@thislanismylan
No longer do we have fall break and Halloween to look forward to. It is now November. As we continue on, we will encounter Thanksgiving break, which will bring us closer to finals. After that, it will be the end of the semester. Until then, why not look into some new music to help you get through the semester? Here's another installment of Lowkey Listens.
O'Bryan - Lady I Love You
Action Bronson - Terry
This track is from another album that I glanced over when it originally was released. I had been a fan of Action Bronson before, but I had not gone through his 2015 album, "Mr. Wonderful," closely enough. This month, I decided to go back through it and with a happy with what I found. Bronson comes through with a Ghostface Killah-like sound over a very nice instrumental from the Alchemist. The two of them always seem to produce greatness. In this track, Bronson makes food references and speaks of where he wants to be in the near future. The end of the song concludes with otherworldly vocals and production. Overall, this track is perfect for those who are looking for that New York sound with some great production. Hopefully, Action Bronson and the Alchemist release even more music soon.
Bringing it back to 1984. I'm pretty sure that I've heard this song here and there throughout my life, but a few weeks ago while I was heading back from seeing my family in Kentucky, my mom and grandmother played this in the car. I'm always looking for more old school love songs to jam to, and this one is immediately added to my list. The production is absolutely wonderful. The groovy bass, beautiful horns and the synthesizer guiding the melody all work together to create a work of art. The song gives off a vibe that reminds you of dark chocolate. It all adds to the 1980s aesthetic. This track, in addition to others, provides a great idea of what made music from the 80s so special — appealing vocals coupled with untouchable production. It makes you want to dance and search for the one for you, does it not? Or maybe you classify it as cookout music? Either way, "Lady I Love You" is a great song for various occasions.
SZA - Warm Winds (feat. Isaiah Rashad)
I came across this song while I was looking through SZA's work. I'm not sure why I did not like it at first. Maybe I didn't listen to the whole thing. But I heard it on KJHK a few weeks ago, and I fell in love with the song, Mac Miller produces this track, and it begins with an instrumental that is somewhat slow. SZA seems to be looking over this "glory child" as they continue to fail to reach their dreams and potential. The second half of the song is when things get interesting. The instrumental changes, the song speeds up a bit and the mood changes. SZA goes into a slightly darker space as she speaks to some sort of lover that she is unable to reach. She adds a little more variety in her vocals, and Isaiah Rashad also provides backing vocals throughout the chorus. Seeing as this is some of her earlier work, it will be interesting to see what she might have in store in the near future.
Kehlani - Table seat, Little Simz
"Use your heart and not your eyes." Right off the bat, this track caught my attention. Using a sample from "Use Your Heart" by SWV works to Kehlani and Little Simz's advantage. Kehlani offers great vocals, which fit in between rapping and singing, that help her explain what she brings to the table. She continues to create a vision of who she is as a woman and the empowerment that comes with that. Little Simz comes in and does the same thing. She raps that she should not be taken lightly and that the one she is speaking to cannot begin to understand where she comes from. The repetition of the lyric "use your heart and not your eyes" implies that your eyes might deceive you in your life. In this case, it seems that the eyes of the one they are speaking to cannot see these two artists as they really are. Kehlani and Little Simz come together and bring a lot to the table, which is impressive.
ASAP Mob - Runner (feat. ASAP Ant & Lil Uzi Vert)
CONVENIENT CLASSES AFFORDABLE TUITION ONLINE OPTIONS
This track was released in the last few days of October, and I have not been able to stop listening to it. Lil Uzi Vert can rap, but I don't see myself actively listening to him. However, in "Runner," he comes through with a nice flow, and the instrumental works to his benefit. I might enjoy this track so much because it was released close to Halloween, and the instrumental is somewhat dark and mysterious. Lil Uzi Vert and A$AP Ant have exceeded a lot of my expectations on this track. With lines like, "I just be stackin' my money / I just be countin' my money / Yeah, walkin' around with the hundreds / Somebody show my opponents," it is clear that Lil Uzi Vert & A$AP Ant came through on this track. It is a great addition to A$AP Mob's "Cozy Tapes Vol. 1: Friends."

Gracie Williams/KANSANing football game.
The Kansas football team quickly dug itself into a large hole in Norman, Okla., last week. The Jayhawks found themselves down to the Sooners 28-3 at halftime, and they went on to lose their seventh-straight game by a lopsided score of 56-3.
Kansas has failed to win a conference game on the road since 2008, when Mark Mangino was head coach. Current Kansas coach David Beaty is still trying to figure out how to not only achieve road success, but also more success in general.
"We've got to play better no matter where we're at," Beaty said during his weekly press conference on Tuesday. "I don't think the road can be the determining factor for us. We didn't play very well in the first half against Ohio [Sept. 10], and that was a home game, and we really felt like we matched up pretty well with that team."
Kansas (1-7, 0-5 Big 12) has lost all three of its road games this season, but the team will be looking for more success when it travels to play West Virginia (6-1, 3-1 Big 12) on Saturday at Mountaineer Field at Milan
Puskar Stadium.
Beaty said a major factor in creating more of that road success could be with a faster start.
"From our standpoint, it's got to be — regardless of where we play, we've got to be able to manage that situation and get off to a fast start," Beaty said. "One of the greatest things for us to do when we're trying to turn this program [around] is we've got to manage that
The slow starts can be linked to what has been a dismal rushing attack for most of the season. Kansas managed only 49 yards on 28 carries in the loss to Oklahoma. The Jayhawks rank last in the Big 12 in rushing touchdowns (seven) and ninth in rushing yards per game (102.8).
ecution-wise, and the good thing is we [went] back and [looked] at it this week, trying to get better at just a few things that we're not being really sufficient on or efficient on."
As for the quarterback play, Beaty said that after looking at tape of redshirt-junior Montell Cozart, he is "our guy." Cozart was 20-of-36 for 120 yards and threw two interceptions against Oklahoma. He will
"Our guys are working their tails off," Beaty said. "We're just a little bit off ex-
need a bounce-back performance against a tougher West Virginia defense, which ranks third in the conference in pass defense.
"I thought he really did a nice job in the first quarter," Beaty said. "Really throughout the first half he had some nice throwaways that were shots or throwaways that [were] good decisions."
Still, there were errors by Cozart and the offense that will need to be cleaned
up, most notably, the interception thrown to Oklahoma linebacker Jordan Evans which was returned for a 33-yard touchdown.
"The pick six just — I mean, our team knows it," Beaty said. "That was one play that we were able to point to this year that effort wasn't good enough by anyone. I mean, anyone... We'll learn from that. But (Cozart is) getting better. He needs work just like everybody else, but he's getting better."
The faster starts will begin with a stronger showing offensively. It will be another tough environment this weekend, as West Virginia has dominated at home, posting a 4-0 record.
"We have really focused a lot on trying to handle ourselves because our opponent is going to be what we can't control," Beaty said. "It's the variable we can't control other than what we know, but if we can control ourselves, we're going to become a lot closer to what we want to be a lot quicker."
Kiekoff in Morgantown is scheduled for 6 p.m., and the game will be broadcast nationally on ESPN2.

Kansas wins in five sets
JORDAN WOLF
@lordanWolfKU
The Kansas volleyball team defeated Kansas State in five closely-fought sets (25-18, 26-28, 25-22, 21-25, 15-11) on the road Wednesday, the Jayhawks' second victory over their in-state rival this season.
The match was the collision of two of the Big 12's best teams. The Jayhawks were tied for first after their weekend victory over Texas, and the Wildcats entered the game at fourth. In October, Kansas took the first meeting of the season in a three-set sweep.
This time, the first set went by quickly with a score of 25-18 in favor of Kansas. The Jayhawks' defense shined as they held the Wildcats to just a .054 hitting percentage. It wasn't much of surprise for Kansas State, as Kansas'.139 opponent's hitting percentage was the best in the Big 12 entering the match.
Things were much closer in the next set. After rolling through the Wildcats in the first, the Jayhawks found themselves down 4-0 to start the second set. Slowly, they were able to claw back and tie it at 20. However, after extending the match by a few points, Kansas State took the set, 28-26.
The teams' first-set performances were flipped in the second. After shutting the Wildcats down to start the match, the Jayhawks allowed them to hit .237 in the second set, and fell to just .133 themselves.
Kansas State maintained a lead for most of the third set, but after tying it at 20, the Jayhawks went on a short 5-2 run. That was good enough to take the set, 25-22, and reclaim the match lead, 2-1.
The fifth set was all Kansas, save for a slight hiccup near the end. After gaining a quick 4-0 lead, the Jayhawks didn't look back. After fending off a late fourpoint Wildcat run, they closed the set out 15-11 and took the match 3-2.
After a fourth set in which neither team held more than a four-point lead, Kansas State scored the last four points and forced a decisive, winner-take-all fifth set.
Senior Tayler Soucie's strong fifth-set performance was the x-factor for Kansas. She picked up two kills and three blocks in the shortened set, the latter of which
contributed to her match high seven blocks.
Fresh off being named the American Volleyball Coaches Association National Player of the Week, junior Kelsie Payne led the match with 23 kills. It was her fourth time with more than 20 kills this season, and her 12th time leading the team in the category.
Madison Rigdon and Jada Burse rounded out the Jayhawk attack, adding 14 and 13 kills, respectively. Burse's 13 gave her a new season high. In limited time off the bench, freshman Zoe Hill added four kills as well.
Senior libero Cassie Wait recorded 33 digs, tying her season high from a September match against Creighton. It was also her third time with over 30 digs in one match this season.
Kansas is now 21-2 overall, and 10-1 in conference play. Their next match comes Saturday against Oklahoma, the second of back-to-back appearances on the road. Oklahoma will enter the match with a 4-6 conference and 10-3 overall record. With a win, the Jayhawks can claim a halfgame lead in the Big 12, as Texas will not play again until next week.

Mykhailiuk, Vick prove importance of bench guards
► BRIAN MINI
@brianminimum
Kansas returns two of the most talented guards in the Big 12 this season with senior Frank Mason III and junior Devonte' Graham. But in the first exhibition game, it was the two guards off the bench that impressed the most offensively.
Last season,
then-sophomore guard
Sviatoslav Mykhaliuik
had a couple big games,
including 17 points on
6-of-7 shooting against
Texas Tech and 23 points
against Austin Peay in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
The 6-foot-six guard from Ukraine has been waiting to string together a season of notable performances and the 2016-2017 season is off to a solid start against Washburn. Mykhailiuk scored 16 points, including a three-point buzzer-beater to end the first half.
Like freshman Josh Jackson, Mykhailiuk's height gives him the ability to play both the shooting guard and small forward position. It's also a major benefit on the
boards, as the junior finished with five rebounds to add to his impressive performance in the exhibition game.
His 16 points were only outdone by Mason, who had 21 points, although Mykhailiuk played eight minutes less than the starter. His four turnovers were the only noticeable blemish on the night, although the entire team struggled in that regard.
"You can't have guards that have five turnovers a game," coach Bill Self said. "Just being so careless, that's the thing we
Some might have expected Mykhailiuk's big game, but even less would have predicted the lights out performance by sophomore guard Lagerald Vick.
need to improve on more than anything else."
Known for his shooting ability, Vick was 47.1 percent from three last season, although his minutes were incredibly limited and he only attempted 17 three pointers.
"Lagerald's a pretty good driver," Mykhailiuk said about coming off the bench with Vick. "[He's]
a pretty good three-point shooter. If he's playing like that, he's gonna be a lot of fun."
Vick only attempted two threes against Washburn, but Vick made his shots count, shooting 4-of-6 and finishing with nine points, the second-most of any bench player on the night.
"Lagerald, he's a good player," Self said about his first-half performance. He did critique Vick's second half,however, citing rebounding as the biggest problem.
Vick's potential this season is another interesting storyline. NBAdraft.net projects him to go No. 21t overall, a surprising projection considering the sophomore played just 4.8 minutes per game last season.
Add Self's talk about playing guard-heavy lineups this season and the promising games coming off the bench hold even more weight. The more comfortable the Jayhawks get with playing small ball, the more chances Mykhailiuk and Vick will get to show off their offensive skill set.

After a rough first half, Jackson sheds nervousness
CHRISTIAN S. HARDY
@ByHardy
Josh Jackson hopes the nerves are gone now. Even after the tension ahead of Late Night in the Phog bubbled up before dancing in front of Allen Fieldhouse, his nerves found a way to stick around. He hadn't felt his stomach turning like this since he played in his first high school game.
KANSAS

When he took the floor as a starter in his first game in a Kansas uniform on Tuesday, he couldn't stop thinking about all the things that could go wrong. All the mistakes — big and small — he could possibly make.
"It's just something every player goes through," Jackson said.
They all said the same thing: be more aggressive, play your game.
After his first half — when he missed a pair of shots, three free-throws, finished with zero points and turned the ball over three times — he tried to rid himself of the jitters. The best way, he thought, was advice. So he went to senior guard Frank Mason III, junior guard Devonte' Graham, the coaching staff — just about anyone he could find.
"Just got my head together a little bit, started to be more aggressive," Jackson said. "They told me how to get through it, and trying not to pay attention to [the nervousness], and just go out there and play."
So in the second half, he did. He shed the nervousness, started using ball-fakes to get into the lane, showed the athleticism that coach Bill Self has raved about in preseason practices. Over and over again, he made his way to the lane. Eventually, about six minutes into
the second half, Jackson made his first bucket. It was a two-pointer, a floater from the lane.
Jackson was being himself — the aggressive, get-to-the-heop No. 1 recruit he was supposed to be. Still, Self said it was sloppy, but at least he was knocking down shots.
He was driving the ball downhill, and that's what we need from him."
Frank Mason III Senior guard
"He was definitely more aggressive in the second half," Mason said. "He was driving the ball downhill, and that's what we need from him."
He finished with 14 points on 6-of-12 shooting, including a three-pointer. His 14 points were a third of Kansas' scoring in the first half, when the team scored 42 points on the way to a 92-74 win at Allen Fieldhouse.
But, Self saw some negatives in Jackson's performance, even after a strong second half where he essentially took over the game.
"He scored the ball some in the second half, but had a rough night," Self said. "I think that was good for our freshmen to kind of get them an eye-opening experience."
It seemed like an eye-opener, at least for Jackson. With the first game behind the No. 1 recruit, that freshman anxiousness might just be a thing of the past, left only in the first 20 minutes of the season.
"I think so," Jackson laughed when asked if he had rid himself of his stress. "I hope so."

KU soccer bows out early in tournament loss to TCU
SKYLAR ROLSTAD @SkyRolSports
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Kansas' hopes of a repeat run to the Big 12 tournament final were dashed Wednesday night before
they really even took shape.
"I think our team's good enough to win this whole thing, and we're not going to get that opportunity," Kansas coach Mark Francis said.
The No. 24 Jayhawks lost Wednesday night to TCU,1-0, in the Big 12 soccer tournament quarterfinal.The lone goal for the Horned Frogs came off a scramble in the box in which TCU forward
Allison Ganter notched a point-blank score past Kansas goalkeeper Maddie Dobyns.
Kansas had started out the match with the attacking edge. After a few shots from promising

Senior defender Aurelie Gagnet fights for the ball against TCU forward Emma Heckendorn. The Jayhawks lost in the first round of the Big 12 tournament to TCU 1-0.
"It's so disappointing," Francis said. "I mean, the goal we gave up was really bad organization. It was just all-around bad."
areas went begging, the Jayhawks' handle on the match weakened. Ganter gave TCU the advantage in the 50th minute.
The TCU goal came after lightning in the area denied the game for 30 minutes.
During the remainder of the second half, Kansas had few chances to level the score. While Kansas stayed on the front foot for much of the half, it wasn't able to finish any of its chances.
"I'm gutted really for our players because I thought we did enough to win the game except score," Francis said. "I mean, we had so many opportunities."
Last season, Kansas made it all the way to the Big 12 tournament final in Kansas City, Mo., before losing 1-0 to Texas Tech. That season, the loss meant the season was over. This season, the
Jayhawks have another chance.
With the second-place finish in the Big 12 conference this regular season, Kansas will likely host a NCAA tournament game. The selection for the Women's College Cup tournament takes place next Monday.
The outlook on Kansas making the tournament looks favorable for the Jayhawks, but after this result it is unclear whether the team can host a tournament game.
One positive Kansas can take from the result is some rest before a potential tournament game.
"We'll practice this week," Francis said. "It will give us a little more down time, a little more rest. Hopefully we'll find out on Monday we're still playing and we'll figure who the next one is. Unfortunately, this one's over but nothing we can do about it now."

@seanzie_UK
Logan Heley is running for Kansas Senate because he wants to stop Gov. Sam Brownback.
It's one of the central themes of the Heley campaign, splashed on the front page of his website and a promise he plans to honor if elected.
The 23-year-old Overland Park native has lived in Senate District 21 for over 20 years. He is the Democratic candidate running against Republican Dinah Sykes and Libertarian Michael Kerner.
"I wouldn't say I'm nervous," Heley said. "I would say that I'm doing my best to get people to vote."
Last December, fed up with Kansas politics and the current governor, Heley found himself faced with a dilemma.He recalled the moment his now-campaign manager, Kathy Cook, confronted him.
Cook asked Heley, "What are you going to do? Are you going to move to another part of the country or are you going to stand by?"
He decided to run for office instead.
Now, with the election coming up on Nov. 8. Heley is working to maximize his voter turnout.
Beginning at 5 a.m. on Tuesday, Heley and his campaign will call voters, watch the polls, knock on doors and do whatever it takes to get additional votes until the polls close at 7 p.m.
While Heley and his campaign have gone door-to-door and called residents all week long, Cook knows that Election Day will be crucial.
On Tuesday, Heley, Cook and the rest of the campaign will join Americans across the country as they wait and watch the results of this historical election. They will pay close attention to the race in Kansas and hope to end a long election season with a victory party.
"The most important thing for him is to motivate as many people as he can to vote at the polls as possible," Cook said. "He really has to compel them to turn out for a race that really will make more difference in their lives than the presidential race will."
Cook said the race for
Heley knows that it won't be an easy battle for the Senate spot. His voters tend to be young people, who Cook said can to be tough to convince to go vote.
"Hopefully by the time we get to Election Day we've narrowed that universe to a few people," Cook said. "If we have to give them a ride to the polls or get a babysitter to watch their kids...we will bring everything we have to the table."
Senate has compelled Heley to take extraordinary measures to get voters to the polls, including carpooling with those who have no ride.
From his website to the front porch of people who haven't voted, Heley has continuously put emphasis on eliminating Brownback's policies, and he said it has worked.
"Not only do we need to stop Sam Brownback, but we need to clean up his mess in Topeka," Heley said. "Once they figure out I'm against Brownback, that seals the deal."

MSG submits new proposal
▶ CHANDLER BOESE
@Chandler_Boese
After a series of stalled efforts last year, advocates for a separate Multicultural Student Government are once again arguing their case to University governance.
On Thursday afternoon, representatives from the Multicultural Student Government presented a proposal to the University Senate, which is made up of representatives from the faculty, staff and student senates.
The organization was originally proposed by the student activist group Rock Chalk Invisible Hawk last fall, citing the need for a student government that was focused solely on the needs of students of color. The following spring, Student Senate agreed to fund a Multicultural Student Government, but the issue ultimately was vetoed by Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little.
MSG wants the
The proposal, brought forth by student senator Sophie Wang and other members of MSG, requested that the University Senate create an ad hoc committee focused on multicultural issues. After more than 30 minutes of discussion, the senate voted to table the proposal until their next meeting Dec.1.
committee to be responsible for looking into multicultural issues and reporting to the University Senate.
Right now, the Multicultural Student Government is registered as a student group through the Student Involvement and Leadership Center. According to the proposal presented at the meeting, the student group hopes to hold formal elections in the spring of 2017 and establish themselves as an official governance organization.
In the meantime, the committee would be made up of three faculty representatives, three staff representatives and three MSG representatives. The three MSG representatives have already been appointed by the organization and the appointment process for the faculty and staff representatives would have to be determined at a later date.
Wang said she's disappointed in the decision to table the proposal, because it leaves less time for the committee to do any meaningful work.
"It's not only inconvenient for the students on the committee, but also the faculty and staff who might serve on the committee," she said.

Oread redesign guidelines up for city vote
▶ CHANDLER BOESE
@Chandler_Boese
The Lawrence City Commission is considering changing the building codes in one of the most popular student neighborhoods in the city. But even if the ordinances pass, students shouldn't see any big changes there - in fact, that's the whole point.
In one of its next meetings, the commission will vote on the Oread Neighborhood Design Guidelines, a set of guidelines geared toward preserving a historic atmosphere in the Oread neighborhood, which stretches from the east side of main campus to Massachusetts Street and north of campus to 6th Street.
Jeff Crick, a city planner who helped develop the guidelines, said the new plan is about
preserving some of the exterior features that are characteristic of the neighborhood, from sidewalks to porches.
"[The guidelines] will keep Oread from changing too much and losing what makes it unique," he said.
The presentation Crick originally showed the city commission gives this uniqueness a time period: 1877-1945. Crick said that is the period of architectural style that has been characteristic of the neighborhood and that the city wants to preserve.
These changes are not only important for this neighborhood, but also on a bigger scale, said Lynne Zollner, the historical resources administrator for the city.
"When people talk about what they like about Lawrence, they
don't talk about the new suburban developments out west of town," she said. "They talk about our downtown and the areas surrounding it."
Zollner said that the push for historical guidelines is going on nationwide right now.
"So many places are

trying to look at their city model and asking, 'What made this place special?'." she said.
The guidelines won't cause any immediate changes in the neighborhood, Crick said, as they only apply to construction or renovation work that has to get a permit. Rather, it will be several years before any real changes can be seen in the neighborhood.
This set of guidelines is unique in that these are the first guidelines to be established for a residential area in Lawrence.
They're often used, Crick said, when a neighborhood wants to keep a particular aesthetic or deal with a growing problem in a neighborhood's design. For example, downtown Massachusetts Street has had a plan for a long time, Crick said, that works to keep new developments within the city's expectations for the area.
The guidelines have been a long time in the making, since an Oread Neighborhood Plan

More employers check social media
▶ HAILEY DIXON

Be careful what you tweet;employers are checking potential employees' social media accounts more and more.
According to CareerBuilder's annual social media recruitment survey, 60 percent of employers said they use social networking sites to research job candidates, compared to 52 percent the year before.
Social media being implemented into the workforce will come with positives and negatives, said David Gaston, executive director of the University Career Center.
Gaston said that individuals who are job-hunting need to be
especially cautious of what they post on social media, because maintaining a professional image is crucial.
"Make sure that you are portraying who you want to be seen as," Gaston said.
Gaston said knowing your audience, the employer, is beneficial, so they can envision you in a position.
A student should do research on the business they are applying to, Gaston said, so that they can have their profile reflect the business' values.
Shelby Ostrom, a senior from Overland Park.
said maintaining that image is important, especially with her career goals. Ostrom is studying political science, and has interests in governmental occupations.
"Ultimately, I would love to be a lobbyist, or an advocacy associate for a non-profit company,"
Ostrom said.
Ostrom said that communication on social media is key, and she keeps some of her posts public so that future employers can see her engagement in her local community.
"It's something that millennials need to get used to," Ostrom said.
Slusky said proteins break down very quickly, which is both a good and bad thing.
"Proteins break down quickly, which doesn't make them the best orally
available drug," Slusky said. "At the same time, since proteins break down so quickly, there isn't a chance to develop any resistance to them. So hopefully, creating a protein that mediates for non-protein antibiotics will be more of a longlasting solution."
(more general goals for the area) was drafted in 2010. Since then, city planners have been getting input from residents of the Oread neighborhood and using it to craft the guidelines.
Slusky on the proteins since 2014, said these proteines could extend the life of antibiotics currently in use by 80 to 100 years.
Post-doctoral scientist Pinakin Sukthankar, who's worked with
"I think these proteins present a great deal of potential for the pharmaceutical industry. We can use all the antibiotics we have currently and make them stronger,"
said Sukthankar. "It's very hard to find new antibiotics, so if we can use the ones we have we'll probably get a 70 to 100 year lease on our ability to use antibiotics. Which is great because by 2050 it's projected there will be more deaths from antibiotic resistant bacteria than cancer."
"Something like this has to be very tailored to fit with the neighborhood," Crick said. "There are some very unique challenges in Oread and there are some very unique answers that have to be provided to fit those questions."

Students: male birth control necessary, needs work
▶ HAILEY DIXON
@_hailey_dixon
Although women have been able to prevent pregnancy with various birth control methods for years, there may be a new alternative for males in the near future.
In addition to wearing condoms, withdrawing during sexual intercourse or getting a vasectomy, men may now have the opportunity to receive a birth control injection to prevent unwanted pregnancies.
crinology and Metabolism. The organization recently published data of this male birth control study.
The shot works by lowering sperm count in men, which would then reduce the chances of pregnancy in their female partners, according to the Journal of Clinical Endo-
Of the 266 males that participated in the effectiveness study, only four pregnancies occurred, according to the study.
"I was really excited at the prospect of it," she said. "It's shocking to me that we don't have [male birth control] vet."
University students, like senior Jacey Bishop from Haniston, are thrilled about the potential of having male birth control in the future.
Despite the low risk of pregnancy the shot was stopped due to the severe side effects that the men
reported, according to the study. The side effects included increased mood swings, acne and other symptoms. The mood swings, especially, were a cause of concern.
Some individuals had a negative reaction to the announcement, claiming that women face these same issues when taking traditional birth control.
Bishop said the side effects were not substantial enough to warrant the researchers stopping the study, saying men should be able to handle the side effects.
Hunter Finch, a graduate intern with the Emily Taylor Center for Women and Gender Equity, said he thinks these statements are problematic and may discourage men from telling doctors about their health concerns.

"For people to say like 'Oh, you're just soft,' that's obviously not a good thing, because it's not allowing men to fully express what's going on," Finch said.

Finch said he thinks men should still have the opportunity to express their full range of emotions, so they can get the medical help needed if they underwent this type of birth control in the future.
In addition, Finch said introducing a birth control shot for men could bring many benefits to both men and women.
"I think if you give both men and women — in this
case talking about the gender binary specifically — the option and the availability of birth control, I think it's a great thing," Finch said. "Right now there's this certain burden of responsibility on women. They have to be the ones to make sure that they're careful during sex, where men are given the
green light to say, 'Oh, well she was on birth control, so I'm fine,' or something like that."
Bishop said the ideal solution would be having safe and healthy contraception for both men and women.
"We need to work on getting rid of the side effects for everyone," Bishop said.

Munoz: 'Vote for the crook. It's important'

think I've given up trying to convince people of Clinton's trustworthiness. Despite the Politifact ratings, the Pinocchios, and the fact that many of the attorneys that formerly investigated her and her husband now support her, people just can't shake the feeling — and yes, it is just a feeling— that she is dishonor. Her opponent has been even less

tion accusations (sound familiar?). However, Louisianaans decided racism was worse than dishonesty and elected Edwards. An infamous bumper sticker seen during the race read, "Vote for the crook. It's important."
This request may seem strange, but it has been made before. Twenty-five years ago, Louisiana had an election similar to this year. Following a contentious primary with a crowded Republican field, the KKK's David Duke — the same one who later endorsed Trump — became the GOP candidate for governor. Edwin Edwards, the Democratic nominee, had been in Louisiana politics for decades and faced multiple corrup-

the lesser of two evils. It's about a highly qualified candidate with realistic proposals to advance our nation's economic and international interests, and another who has neither served his country nor put forward any coherent agenda. Furthermore, it's about the very soul of our country. Though we may not be looking forward to Nov.8, the choice is obvious.
History can forgive us for electing a crook, but the same cannot be said of the alternative. So Nov. 8, vote for the crook. It's important.

Guest column: Trump is the right choice
▶ GARRETT MILLER
Why should millennials vote for Republican Donald Trump over Democrat Hillary Clinton? If the DNC emails leaked by Wikileaks before the Democratic National Convention regarding former Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders, the Department of Justice's investigation into the Clinton Foundation, and Clinton's private email server hasn't changed your mind about voting for Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine, maybe looking at Trump's policies will. His full policies can be found on his website.
Trump's economic policies will improve the American economy. The North American Free Trade Agreement has been devastating to
the Rust Belt, and the Trans-Pacific Partnership will only be the icing on the cake. Our trade deficit is at $745 billion, with China making up most of it at $367 billion. Improving our trade deals and

reforming that tax code will ensure that more products are made in the U.S., resulting in a stronger gross domestic product, which leads to a stronger economy.
Many believe Trump is the right person for the job."
The most important issue to college students is college affordability. Last month, Trump rolled out his repayment plan to reduce the number of plans to one, and borrowers would pay 12.5 percent of their income for 15 years before the remaining balance would be forgiven. If we had free college, that would mean more taxes and more national debt. With more products being made in the U.S., we would probably see a need for more vocational schools and other professional schools, which are much cheaper than a university.
Clinton's defense policy reminds me of the movie "The Day After." I think we can all agree that what's happening in Syria is heartbreaking to watch, but Clinton will risk war by implementing a no-fly zone with Russia in Syria. Clinton's policies regarding Russia could lead to war, and even Jill Stein of the Green Party agrees. The Department of Veteran's
Affairs needs fixing the Iran Deal needs to be scrapped, our military needs rebuilding and many believe that Trump is the right person for the job.

My brief stint as a tour guide

@wadmussen
I'm not allowed to give tours of campus anymore. In retrospect, this was probably clear from the moment I greeted the group with "roll tide" and cracked open a can of Monster.
My tour group included eight or 15 students — I can't remember how many. To be honest, I never really got their names. Although I didn't attend the seven mandatory training sessions, I knew that my role was to get students excited about the University. In a sense, I was to be a hype man for the University.
At the visitor center, I started by explaining a little about myself -- white middle-class male from the suburbs of Iowa. I have blonde hair, blue eyes and allergies. The handful of students from Johnson County seemed to relate. We started by making our way to Daisy Hill.
So I channeled the best hype man I know — Flavor Flav.

See that pile of rubble in the construction site? Metaphorically, it represents your financial future once you take out enough loans to cover the soaring costs of university housing these days. In reality, it is the broken foundation of a previous dorm. Did I mention how quickly the new dorms were built?
As the sound of fire alarms rang out loud and clear, I explained that they
were a common occurrence, especially during the winter. Don't worry, I said to a girl who was interested in nursing or horses or something, vapes don't usually set off the alarms. Cigs on the other hand, do. So make sure to turn on a fan and open the window.
We then walked down the hill toward the new business school. Capitol Federal Hall, I explained, stands as a symbol of the University's dedication to academic freedom. Across the street, new dorms house some of the most important students at this large public research institution that prides itself on high-quality academic programs -the athletes.
From the beautiful new athlete dorms, we headed to Haworth Hall, where I advised the group, which may have dwindled down to one large homeschooled family,
"Not really sure, but this is the chemistry building, I think," I replied.
We then entered Watson library, the epitome of the University's academics. You can almost hear the academic brilliance at work as the gentle pitter-patter of keyboards, echoes of coughs and the shrill sound of drills fill the main study area.
As we walked onto Jayhawk Boulevard, the group was impressed by the beautiful architecture of Strong Hall. As they were snapping photos of the building, I commented that the design looks oddly similar to Stalinist buildings. How cool is that?

At Watson, it's important to remember you're never alone, even when you're deep
in the stacks studying. That's where couples, hormones and the occasional ghost lurk.
By now, I had crushed my can of Monster and was getting tired of talking. Sure, I could have showed them the rest of campus, but I felt like we did a general sweep of everything.
I gave the remaining family vague directions to one of the 16 buses that would take them back to the visitor center, saluted and walked away. I shed the iconic red jacket (which I had made sleeveless to be edgy) and faded back into the life of a normal student at the University, never to be contacted again.

The key to good storytelling is a balance between plot and reflection, radio broadcaster Ira Glass told an audience at the Lied Center Saturday night.
Glass brought his "Seven Things I've Learned" program to Lawrence, although he issued a disclaimer at the beginning of the show — he's actually learned more than seven things.
"You can leave after seven," he joked.
The show ended up including nine things Glass has learned, from "how to tell a story," to "what it's like to drive across the country trying to learn Spanish." Glass alternated between recorded interviews and live storytelling to talking about people he's interviewed who made an impression on him in some way.
Go to the place where you want to work, go to the people you admire, make yourself indispensable and invent your future."
Ira Glass Public radio broadcaster
Glass has been working in public radio for more than 30 years. He is best known for the podcasts "This American Life" and "Serial."
"With the retirement
of Garrison Keillor from 'A Prairie Home Companion,' we feel Ira Glass is the torchbearer for public radio, quite frankly," said Derek Kwan, executive director of the Lied Center. "To be able to bring him to the University of Kansas and to the Lawrence community is a great honor."
For the "how to do stories on stuff nobody wants to hear about" portion of the event, Glass talked about visiting a Syrian refugee camp in Greece. He said it's important for journalists to be able to make harsh stories personal, whether they're talking about climate change, income inequality or any other equally unpleasant topic.
"We make it possible to imagine being [refugees],"
Glass said. "We can take enough time on the air and get enough details and take five minutes or 10 minutes or 20 minutes or whatever it takes so you can imagine 'Oh, if that were me and it was my kids, this is how I would feel.'"
Much of the night was dedicated to the presidential election. Glass drew applause when he criticized Donald Trump for being untruthful, and he blamed the media for spreading inaccuracies, such as the claim President Obama wasn't born in the United States.
"Isn't everything this year just, like, so ugly and horrible?" Glass said. "It's just sobering this year. And living through this historic moment, this historic election, for me one of the things that I feel so, so struck by — and I've talked about this on the air — is just how more than ever facts don't matter."
Marlaina Kaine, a University of Missouri student, drove from Columbia, Mo. to see Glass. She said she became a fan after discovering "This American Life" a couple of years ago. She said she was struck by the similarities between "Seven Things I've Learned" and the format of "This American Life."
"It was very surreal. It was kind of amazing," she said. "It was kind of like sitting in the room with him as he does 'This American Life.' It was very casual, and you could close your eyes and just be like 'I'm listening to the radio."
Glass also had advice for young journalists. He said a goal he had when he was younger was to make a salary as much as his age multiplied by 1,000 - it took him 34 years to accomplish. He told students in the audience that it's a great time to be a journalist, and perseverance is key.
"Don't give up. Go to the place where you want to work, go to the people you admire, make yourself indispensable and invent your future," he said. "If you want to do what I do, podcasting is one of the few places in journalism that's booming. Come in, the water's warm."

Review: 'Doctor Strange' best Marvel film yet
▶ CAMERON MCGOUGH @cammcgough
In some ways, "Doctor Strange" is like the illegitimate spawn of the Marvel Universe. Yes, the film does maintain the same chic aesthetic and wit it inherited from its predecessors "Iron Man," "Thor" and "Ant-Man," but it also possesses a new set of traits that haven't been seen in a superhero film for many years. Perhaps the individuality of "Doctor Strange" can be attributed to the fact that Benedict Cumberbatch's take on the superhero has yet to be tainted by the orgy of Marvel characters involved in the "Avengers" films, save for the ending credits scene involving dialogue
between Cumberbatch and a certain hammer-wielding Aussie. Nonetheless, the film proves to be a unique, mind-bending joy ride that introduces Marvel's strangest hero, without the presence of overbearingly formulaic Marvel DNA.
Much like Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark, Cumberbatch's Dr. Strange is just as arrogant as he is wealthy, thanks to his prestidigitation with a scalpel and the booming business that is neurosurgery. It appears that his closest relationship is with his own inflated ego, though he somewhat displays an unsettling, borderline romantic attraction to his favorite designer watches. A potent mixture of cellphone distractions, precipitation, serpentine roads and an indulgent, poorly driven Italian vehicle sends Strange's world to a resounding crash, literally. A rather ungraceful tumble down a mountain not only pulverizes his fancy Lamborghini, but also lands him on the other side of the operating table, crippling his hands and his career as a neurosurgeon. With this difficult blow, Strange feels as though he no longer has a purpose in life, so he is forced to find a new one.
Unlike the perpetual filmic re-envisioning, recasting and rehashing of Spider Man and The Hulk, the story of Dr. Strange has yet to be explored onscreen. Director Scott Derrickson
successfully used this as an opportunity to take this little-known Marvel character and place him into a film that is a remarkably improved version of its precursors.
Perhaps the "Doctor Strange" filmmakers' most significant creative liberty was the casting of the Ancient One, a character who is a man of Asian descent in the comic books, and a woman of Celtic descent in the film. The decision to cast British actress Tilda Swinton in this role was immediately met with accusations of whitewashing. However, the intent of the casting choice, according to the filmmakers, was to take this character that is written with rampant racial stereotypes in the comics and transform him into a character free of discriminatory baggage. Thanks to Swinton's charming, electric performance, it all works out incredibly well.
After exhausting every possible tactic known in modern Western medicine to no avail, Strange heads east to Nepal searching for a promising alternative that may fix his hands and return his life back to the way it once was. Along the way, a mysterious cloaked man (Chiwetel Ejiofor) saves Strange from a group of street thugs and takes him to a mysterious temple where he meets the An-

cient One and finally finds what he was searching for. He prods the Ancient One for a practical, medicinal cure for his hands, but this plead is met with the claim that his mind is the only thing that can heal him. His initial skepticism of that claim is obliterated when the Ancient One separates his spirit from his body and sends him hurling into different dimensions with her magic. "Teach me," he says. And teach him, the Ancient One does.
In a training sequence that oozes "Rocky V" vibes, Strange builds up his sorcery muscles in a matter of minutes (though it's likely years or months in the story), underscored by Oscar winner Michael Giacchino's score, which may be one of the only generic things about the film. Strange begins this training with the intention to return back to his old life once his hands are remedied, but a looming threat forces him to use his new skills in a battle to save the world.
The stunning magnitude of visual effects could
easily make one forget that this is a Marvel film, but maybe a sequel to Christopher Nolan's "Inception." It most certainly draws inspiration from that film's visual style. Multiple moments throughout the film have the potential to trigger spontaneous widening of the mouth among audience members. Often times, the mind-melting visual effects are too exquisite and inventive to be believed.
Alongside Cumberbatch, Ejiofor and Swinton, this magnificent "Doctor Strange" cast includes Benedict Wong, Mads Mikkel-
son and Rachel McAdams. Each of these characters shares tremendous chemistry with each other, and this serves a great justice to the film.
The superhero film we have all been waiting for is finally here."
6 TI
Cumberbatch is able to handle the type of serious acting that earned him an Oscar nomination for "The Imitation Game," as well as the intense action sequence-
es and abundant moments of humor and levity sprinkled throughout the film.
Although McAdams' role is rather tertiary as Strange's love interest, her character provides an escape to the real world when the exploration of different dimensions becomes too frequent.
Mikkelson uses his standard stone-faced acting, but it works incredibly well in this film. If he had portrayed his character as a more maniacal, stereotypical villain, he could have ended up with a cheap imitation of the Green Goblin

The Spencer Museum of Art has welcomed four artists in residence as part of its latest exhibition titled "Temporal Turn: Art and Speculation in Contemporary Asia," which opens in the newly renovated building on Nov. 10.
"Temporal Turn" explores cultural diversity across Asia with art that "speculates on varied manifestations of time, history, and memory," according to the museum's website. Artists who use science and spirituality as inspiration explore themes such as national identity, gender and our changing relationship with technology.
“[Temporal Turn] is something that kind of transcends the typical idea of what contemporary art is, and I think people can be scared of contemporary art,” said Kris Ercums, the museum's curator of global contemporary and Asian art. "I don't feel like you have to know the Asian cultures to get into this art. They're very visually rewarding, and you can kind of make your own story."
Ercums said a catalogue of the pieces in the exhibition will soon be available for free online. A print version will also be available for purchase.
Five themes are at the center of "Temporal Turn." They are "Pulse," "The Edge of Infinity," "Mythopoeia," "Human/Posthuman/Inhuman" and "Antrhopocene."
Works by artists in residence Konoike Tomoko, Rohini Devasher, Park Jaeyoung and Sahej Rahal will be displayed in the exhibition, along with pieces from 22 other artists. The artists in residence will spend the next few weeks in Lawrence working on pieces commissioned for the exhibition.

n its last tune-up before heading to Hawaii, Kansas saw some notable improvements. Field goal percentage was up and turnovers were down double digits in Kansas' 104-62 win against Emporia State.
After being disappointed with the team's effort last Tuesday, Self made a change to the starting lineup, replacing sophomore forward Carlton Bragg Jr. with sophomore guard Lagerald Vick.
Mykhailiuk has made a name for himself as a viable scorer from range as well as inside. The 6-foot-8 guard scored 12 points in the first half and finished with 16 points.
Neither Vick nor Bragg made a difference in the first half of the game, but for the second exhibition game in a row, junior guard Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk seemed to be poised for a breakout season.
"I was trying to be aggressive, rebound the ball, play defense, a little bit of everything," Mykhailiuk said.
Bragg, on the other hand, struggled coming off the bench. The sophomore finished with just four rebounds and had five turnovers in his 15 minutes.
In his second game as a Jayhawk, freshman guard Josh Jackson filled the stat sheet with 11 points, seven rebounds, five assists and two blocks. Jackson even had an opportunity to play some point guard in the second half with Vick as the only other guard on the floor.

"I felt a lot better this game than I did last game," Jackson said. "It was natural for me to be nervous as a freshman."
The freshman offensive standout this game
was forward Udoka Azubuike, who converted on six alley-oop attempts on his way to 13 points. Azubuike was also solid defensively with seven rebounds and three blocked shots.
"I love watching Udoka play," fellow freshman Jackson said. "He's a force inside ... It makes our jobs really easy, just put the ball up there and nine times out of 10 he'll get up there."
After fouling out in just eight minutes against Washburn, Azubuike only committed three fouls and excited the Allen Fieldhouse crowd every time the ball came near him.
"I think our big guys were better and Udoka is one of the better lob catchers around," coach Bill Self said. "He's someone that not many
people can match as far as a big body and athleticism."
As he did last game, senior guard Frank Mason III did it all for Kansas. The second-team All-Big 12 guard finished with 17 points and five assists, most of which came in the first half.
Not only did the Jayhawks score 12 more points than their last game, but they were also able to hold their opponent to 12 less points this time around.
Emporia State started the game shooting well, hitting a trio of threes that tied the game at 11. As a whole, Kansas held Emporia State to 30 percent shooting, in part because of Kansas' nine blocks.
Kansas' first regular season game is against Indiana on Friday, Nov. 11 in Hawaii.

In their last meeting, the Jayhawks swept the Sooners (13-12, 4-8) at home.
Andrea Ringgenberg/KANSAN Junior right side hitter Kelsie Payne goes for a spike during the game against Kansas State on Oct. 12. Kansas won the match in three sets.
This time in Norman on Oklahoma's home court, the victory for Kansas (22-2, 11-1) didn't come as easy. This time took four sets (23-25, 25-23, 25-20, 27-25).
"I'm just really proud of the fight. We know our execution wasn't at the highest level, but there was some want out there," Kansas coach Ray Bechard said. "That was a critical match and it could've been one that, after back-to-back five setters, that for one reason or another, we could have faded away. But we certainly didn't and I'm very proud of them."
Kansas struggled to stop the Oklahoma offense early in the first set as they led the whole way. Coming into the match, the Sooners ranked second in the Big 12 in hitting percentage (.253). The Jayhawks got their first lead in the second set as senior setter Maggie Anderson recorded an ace to put Kansas up 8-7.
The match wasn't pretty by any means, but
Junior right side hitter Kelsie Payne has had her fair share of awards. This week, she was named to two: the AVCA National Player of the Week and Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week.
Saturday, she became the 15th Jayhawk to reach 1,000 career kills as she recorded 21 versus the Sooners. Right after she reached this milestone, she recorded an ace. To add to this, she had seven digs and six blocks.
a few accomplishments came out of Saturday's battle with the Sooners.
"Kelsie got off to a little bit of a slow start... and here's a kid that never played six rotations prior to here and now," Bechard said. "She's contributing from everywhere and to get her 1,000th kill still in her junior year, that means she's doing a lot of things right."
Senior middle blocker Tayler Soucie became the third Jayhawk to reach 500 blocks in her career. This was also the fourth time she recorded 100 blocks in a season. Soucie also recorded nine kills, one assist and one dig.
cialist Tori Miller saw good playing time and recorded 12 digs. Junior outside hitter Madison Rigdon scored 18 points for the Jayhawks as she posted 15 kills, one ace, four digs and four blocks.
Junior setter Ainise Havilli secured the win for Kansas with an ace on match point. She recorded a double-double with 53 assists and 12 digs. Havili also recorded one block.

Junior guard Jessica Washington goes up for a layup. The Jayhawks defeated Washburn 81-57 on Nov. 6.
Leaders dominate in win over Washburn
In Sunday's win over Washburn, redshirt junior guard Jessica Washington again delivered on the hype that has surrounded her, notching 21 points and two assists.
After last week's near-triple-double performance, Washington led Kansas to a 81-57 victory in its final exhibition game of the season. Washington insists that her success is due in large part to her teammates' play.
"I always like to be in that type of zone; it's not a different zone," Washington said. "I do realize that whenever I'm on, I'm on. I have to be aware of that, but with my teammates stepping up on defense, it allows me to get those open looks."
"Of course, with our transition defense, making the other team turn the ball over, we can get easy transition points," she said.
Kansas' lackluster scoring last season has helped influence the importance of transition play for the team this year — something that Washington has enjoyed.
Widely considered as one of Kansas' best on-ball defenders, Robertson was able to rack up three steals, four rebounds and 14 points in Kansas' win.
JARED ANDERSON

One player who knows plenty about forcing turnovers is sophomore guard Aisia Robertson.
Coach Brandon Schneider believes that Robertson's growth throughout the past year has been exhibited in her play.
"She's very capable and I think that the big thing for Aisia this year is that she just understands her game a lot more than she did a year ago," Schneider
said. "She understands how to get to her certain spots on the floor and it's back-to-back games now where we've got double figures from her off the bench and we need that, we need production ... I definitely think she brings a lift to our team both offensively and defensively."
After Kansas suffered through foul trouble in its win over Fort Hayes State last weekend, Schneider stressed the importance of discipline on the floor.
In Sunday's game senior forward Caelynn Manning-Allen - who was limited to just nine minutes last weekend played 15 minutes while scoring seven points and grabbing eight rebounds.
"We couldn't play her much in the first half with her foul trouble," Schneider said.
"Caelynn was really good in our trip to Europe, and then she had a groin injury that kept her out for a couple of weeks," Schneider said. "I think she's honestly still trying to work back into her rhythm there, trying to get some confidence back, but she's going to be good for us, we just have to keep her out of foul trouble."
Schneider said Manning-Allen is still getting back into the swing of things after an injury she endured over the summer.
Now that Kansas has finished its exhibition play, it will look to extend its winning streak into the regular season. Kansas opens up regular season play Nov. 13 against Missouri State in Allen Fieldhouse.

Trump wins key states, eyes more, as he quickly approaches the White House

Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) Donald Trump scored victories in the nation's premier battleground states and threatened even more in the industrial Midwest as his White House prospects improved early Wednesday with a handful of battleground states still too close to call.
The New York billionaire's working-class appeal appeared to resonate across America far more than pre-election polls suggested. Friends and foes alike acknowledged the very real possibility of a Trump victory.
The show of confidence came after the Republican nominee won Okio, Florida and North Carolina. Trump also seemed to be exceeding expectations in Pennsylvania, Michigan and
"STOP saying ALL pollsters missed it," Trump campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, also a pollster, tweeted late Tuesday.

Ohio Pastor Darrell Scott, who leads Trump's National Diversity Coalition, said presidential hopeful was loose and relaxed.
"Everyone was nervous but Trump," Scott said.
Earlier in the day, Trump refused to say whether he would accept the election results, injecting new drama into the final day of a turbulent election season. He also continued to raise
doubts about the integrity of the election system, warning of possible voter fraud as his campaign sought an investigation into early voting hours in battleground Nevada.
"
Those warnings were largely forgotten as the

political world envisioned a possible Trump victory.
"If Trump wins, he does deserve the benefit of the doubt because he was right on his chances and so many of us were wrong," tweeted conservative leader Erick Erickson, who had aggressively fought Trump's candidacy.
Trump's near-daily warnings of a "rigged
election" had become central argument from an outsider candidate who has repeatedly challenged the norms of presidential politics.
His outsider status ultimately helped him more than it hurt.
Trump's political inexperience allowed him to cast himself as a change agent just as frustrated voters in both parties were hungry for change. The message was particularly effective against Democrat Hillary Clinton, a
fixture in public service over the last three decades.
Yet his inexperience also fueled a series of self-created controversies, whether a days-long public feud with the parents of a slain soldier or late-night tweet storm citing a beauty queen's "sex tape." He insulted opponents from both parties in unusually personal terms, lowering
the bar for political discourse in a way never seen before on the national stage.
Ever the showman, his strategy relied almost exclusively on massive rallies to connect with voters, ignoring the less-glamorous grunt work that typically fuels successful campaigns.
Pre-election polls suggested he was the least popular presidential nominee in the modern era. Yet the incomplete election results suggested that his approach worked, both in traditional battlegrounds and areas where Republicans didn't won in decades.
Still, it's unclear whether Trump's strength was borne from support for him or opposition to Clinton.
Debra Sindler, a 60-year-old real estate agent from Savannah Georgia, said she wrestled with whether to support the New York billionaire even as she walked to the polls.
"It was really hard to vote for Donald Trump," she said.

Democrats' path to Senate majority slips away
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON (AP)
- Republican Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania narrowly defeated Democrat Katie McGinty in the most expensive political race in Senate history on Tuesday.
Toomey's victory will keep Republicans in control of the Senate if GOP candidates in Alaska and Louisiana hold onto those seats, as expected.
Democrats grabbed a Republican-held seat in Illinois, but the outcome in Wisconsin was a surprise as both parties had expected it to flip for the Democrats. Wisconsin GOP Sen. Ron Johnson's victory over former Democratic Sen. Russ Feingold forecast a grim night for the Democrats, who could be consigned to minority status on Capitol Hill for years to come.
Races in GOP-held Pennsylvania, New Hampshire and Missouri remained too close to call as Republicans defended a slim 54-46 majority in
an unpredictable election year. Democrats would have to win all of those and hang onto Democratic-held Nevada to reach a 50-50 outcome, and could then only claim majority status if Democrat Hillary Clinton wins the White House. The vice president casts tie-breaking votes in the Senate.
As the night wore on Democratic operatives struggled to explain why their optimistic assessments of retaking Senate control were so mistaken. Some were blaming FBI Director James Comey's bombshell announcement that he was reviewing a new batch of emails connected with Clinton for breathing life into GOP campaigns.
Senate Republicans, too, had feared they would have a bad night Tuesday, and some were taken by surprise as they racked up win after win.
In North Carolina, Democrats had high hopes of unseating entrenched GOP incumbent Sen. Richard Burr, who
infuriated even his own party with his laidback campaign style. But in the end he had little trouble holding off a challenge from Democrat Deborah Ross, a former state legislator and director of the North Carolina ACLU.
In Indiana, GOP Rep. Todd Young beat former Democratic senator and governor Evan Bayh, who mounted a much-bally-hooed comeback bid, but wilted under scrutiny.
And in Florida, GOP Sen. Marco Rubio beat Democratic Rep. Patrick Murphy, giving Rubio a platform from which he could mount another bid for president in 2020. The outcome was not unexpected since Murphy had been abandoned by his own party in the final weeks of the campaign, but polls had tightened heading into Election Day.
In Arizona, meanwhile, GOP Sen. John McCain, at age 80, won his sixth term in quite possibly his final campaign. The 2008 GOP presidential nominee was
re-elected without much difficulty despite early predictions of a competitive race, and struck a reflective note ahead of the outcome.
"While as Yogi Berra said, 'I hate to make predictions, especially about the future,' I'm not sure how many more I have in me," McCain said.
In New York, Sen. Chuck Schumer, the Democrats' leader-in-waiting for a new Congress, easily won re-election. But the results suggested he would be leading a Senate minority when he replaces retiring Nevada Sen. Harry Reid in the leader's role.
Democrats' only pick-up so far came in Illinois, where GOP Sen. Mark Kirk had long been considered the most endangered Republican incumbent. Democratic Rep. Tammy Duckworth, a double-amptee Iraq war veteran, ousted Kirk.
GOP incumbents around the country had faced energized Democratic challengers trying to oust them in costly and caustic battles shadowed every step of the way by the polarizing presidential race between Republican Donald Trump and Clinton.
Nonetheless Schumer struck an optimistic note addressing supporters in Manhattan. "I hope the
The GOP retook the majority just two years ago. And even though control of the Senate is likely to be razor-thin whichever party ends up on top, the advantages of being in the majority are significant. The controlling party holds the committee chairmanships, sets the legislative agenda and runs investigations. First up is likely to be a nominee to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court.
voters of America will bless us with a Democratic majority in the Senate," he said.
Reid was retiring after five terms and trying to engineer a Democratic successor in Nevada. Democrats were optimistic that a strong Latino vote, and Republican hopeful Rep. Joe Heck's stumbles with Trump, would keep Nevada in their column.
Missouri, like North Carolina, was a GOP-friendly state that turned unexpectedly competitive as incumbent Republican Sen. Roy Blunt seemed caught unawares by the nation's restless mood.
Throughout the campaign the Senate races provided moments of drama, not least as GOP candidates grappled with sharing a ticket with Trump. That tripped up Sen. Kelly Ayotte in New Hampshire after she asserted at one point that Trump could "absolutely be a role model for the nation's youth.
In Nevada, Heck ended the campaign refusing to say whether or not he'd vote for Trump. Pennsylvania GOP Sen. Pat Toomey, too, kept voters in suspense until the eleventh hour before disclosing late Tuesday that he voted for Trump.

Munoz: Responsibility is on voters to fix politics

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 the past nearly 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 another. Several candidates 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 being that voters are not educated enough to make informed decisions. One example of this is voters' opinions on the Affordable Care
Act compared with 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. 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.

Future of the GOP uncertain
► TANNER HASSELL
@tthassell17
With one of the most volatile presidential campaign years behind us, some people are uncertain about what the future holds for the Republican 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."
"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 the popularity of outsider candidates like Bernie Sanders and Trump surprised many voters.
Miller said Trump's popularity among Republicans in this cycle, compared to support for former nominees Mitt Ronney 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 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."
"I think the party needs to look to the future, and what they need to do to be successful," he said.
Steinhilber said he would like to see the GOP become more moderate and be more inclusive.
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.
"They certainly have some challenges," he said. "I think a lot of what's happened raises the question: What is the Republican Party is going to stand for? I think they face questions about what the next four years will be like."

1. The final results of the presidential election don't depend on individual votes.
The electoral college is responsible for electing the next president. There are a total of 538 electoral votes up for grabs, and each state has a different amount based on its population. Kansas has six, and the most populous state California, has 55.
In 48 states, candidates win electoral votes by winning the popular vote in each state. Basically, a candidate will win all of a state's electoral votes, or none of them. Nebraska and Maine have the ability to split their state's electoral votes based on congressional districts.
The candidate to win a majority of electoral votes, 270, wins the election.
2. The Kansas Secretary of State's office estimated a 1.3 million voter turnout - or 72 percent of the state - the highest turnout in the past 16 years.
3. As of Nov. 3, Republicans counted for 50 percent of advance votes in Kansas. Democrats were at 31 percent and unaffiliated voters at 18 percent, per the Secretary of State.
4. There are 1,812,670 registered voters in Kansas this year. That's about 62
percent of the total state population.
5. In the 2012 presidential election, only two counties in Kansas voted for President Barack Obama: Douglas and Wyandotte.
6. Taking a picture with your ballot is legal in Kansas, according to Douglas County officials, but not all states. In Missouri, for example, posting a ballot selfie could get you in trouble with the law.
8. Had the election ended in a tie, with each candidate receiving 269 electoral votes, the House of Representatives would decide the presidency, with each state casting a single vote. From there, the candidate who won the majority would win the election.
9. Both Clinton and Trump watched the results roll in ton from New York City, less than two miles apart. Clinton's venue was the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center on 34th St. Trump watched be the election from the New York Hilton Midtown.
7. Kansas has voted for the Republican presidential candidate in every election since 1964.
10. In accordance with the 20th Amendment, the president will be inaugurated in Washington D.C. and officially take office on Jan. 20, 2017.

Trump wins KS, hunting and fishing amendment passes
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Republican nominee Donald Trump carried Kansas in the presidential race as expected, and GOP Sen. Jerry Moran was handed an easy reelection victory in Tuesday's election.
Voters also approved an amendment to the state constitution to protect hunting and fishing. Republicans anticipated winning all four of the state's U.S. House seats.
Secretary of State Kris Kobach's office said more than 505,000 voters cast their ballots ahead of polls opening Tuesday. a 47 percent increase over the morning of the
last presidential election in 2012. Kobach was predicting that a record 1.3 million of the state's 1.8 million registered voters would participate.
What to know about the election:
PRESIDENTIAL CONTEST
Kansas was always considered a safe state for Trump, and he took it as anticipated. The last Democratic presidential nominee to carry the state was Lyndon Johnson in 1964.
Many Republicans had misgivings about Trump, particularly as multiple women came forward in the final weeks of the campaign to publicly accuse the New York businessman of inappropriate sexual
conduct. Voters in the GOP caucuses in March opted overwhelmingly for Texas Sen.Ted Cruz.
But many voters wary of Trump also couldn't stomach voting for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. GOP Gov. Sam Brownback argued that people should back Trump because the next president could fill multiple U.S. Supreme Court vacancies.
U.S. SENATE RACE
Moran easily won his second, six-year term in the Senate. He first won his seat in 2010 after serving 14 years representing the 1st District of western and central Kansas in the House.
His Democratic opponent was Patrick Wiesner, a Lawrence
accountant and tax attorney who ran unsuccessfully for the party's Senate nomination in 2010 and 2014.
CONGRESSIONAL RACES
Moran raised more than $4.1 million in contributions from the start of 2015 through mid-October, while Wiesner had received less than $14,000 in contributions through September.
The most competitive congressional race was in the 3rd District in the Kansas City area. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee spent nearly $2.2 million on ads in the campaign's final weeks to boost political unknown Jay Sidie in his race against GOP incumbent Kevin
Yoder.
Democrats saw Yoder as vulnerable because he backed Trump and because of a political backlash against Gov. Brownback over the state's budget problems. But a Republican super PAC spent $804,000 to help Yoder, who already was well funded.
Republican incumbent Lynn Jenkins won reelection in the 2nd District in eastern Kansas. Republican Mike Pompeo is expected to win re-election in the 4th District in southcentral Kansas.
In the 1st District, Roger Marshall, a Great Bend physician, won the sprawling 1st District of western and central Kansas. Marshall gained national attention for knocking off Rep. Tim Huelskamp in the
August primary. Democrats did not have a candidate, but Alan LaPolice, a Clifton educator and farmer, was waging a long-shot bid as an independent.
PROTECTING HUNTING
The constitutional amendment on hunting and fishing passed the Legislature with broad, bipartisan support. Supporters said it's a preemptive move against possible attempts by animal rights groups to limit traditional sporting activities.
It adds a new section to the constitution's Bill of Rights declaring that Kansas residents have a right to hunt, fish and trap subject to "reasonable" state laws.

SUA event lets students watch 2016 election unfold
▶ HAILEY DIXON

University students eagerly awaited the election results on Tuesday night at the SUA election watch party. The party was held on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union in the traditions area.
"This election is really important to me," said Collin Cox, SUA event coordinator. "Not only because it's my first election I'm voting in, but also noting that it's a really crucial time for this country."
Around 50 students attended the event. Students were handed red and blue beads, and had the opportunity to take pictures at the photo booth, play games, eat food and view the election results. While viewing the election, students were sitting in couches and chairs, all while socializing with others.
Cox said it was important that University students had a place on campus to watch the 2016 election unfold. Seeing as not everyone has access to cable, Cox said having a watch party was an alternative to gather as a group and watch the results come in live.
Four years ago, SUA held a watch party for the 2012 presidential election. Due to its success, they decided to do it again, Cox said.
"It gives them another person to dialogue with," said Michelle Compton, SUA advisor and associate director of marketing, media, and programs for the Memorial Union.
Compton said that the election party in 2012 was similar, but the party this year had less time for prizes and games, since this election was more dramatic.
David Nguyen, graduate student in education, said he was ready for the election to finally be over.
"I think most of us have been waiting for it to be over for like the past several months," he said.
LAC watch party promotes unity in divisive election
The Lawrence Arts Center hosted a bipartisan watch party for the 2016 Presidential election on Tuesday evening, with the hope of fostering a light-hearted atmosphere on a tense night.
Sarah Bishop, the chief communications officer, said that the Lawrence Arts Center chose to host a watch party because art can provide a sense of unity.
"We feel so strongly that art is a really great way to engage people in a really meaningful way, and it's very important, especially in this election and this campaign season, to ensure that people are engaged in the political process."Bishop said.
According to Bishop, bringing in cheerful and lighthearted elements was a key goal of the evening.
"We're just trying to have fun. There's lots of puns, there's lots of funny signs. This election season has just been so crazy, and filled with so much drama," Bishop said. "It's great to able to kick back, relax, and poke a little fun at the whole thing."

"I think it's a very pro-Clinton crowd," Anderson said, "That's not surprising. We're here in an Arts Center, and we're in Lawrence."
Anderson said that the evening reflected the views of the city, and that the attendees enjoyed being around like minded voters.
"People here in Lawrence care about politics," Anderson said, "And I think they're around people who share similar ideologies."

Rock Chalk Grayhawk: The world of granny basketball
PIONEER FOOTBALL
Gayle Sigurdson, a Kansas Grayhawker, plays defense at the Lawrence Community Center on Nov. 6th.

@Chandler_Boese
About a dozen basketball players stand around the gym Sunday, shooting warm-up shots and chatting about the upcoming competition. The coach blows the whistle and the players all huddle together, getting in game mode. They break out of the huddle and begin to practice their passing game, their bloomers swaying as they hurry down the court.
No, it wasn't the Kansas-Emporia State basketball game, but the opening practice for granny basketball, a throwback competition for women 50 years old and older. Part of a national organization of granny basketball teams, the activity offers a chance for these athletes to play the game safely - with 1920's basketball rules.
Lawrence just joined the national competition last season with their teams: the Kansas Grayhawkers and the Kansas Gray Tornadoes.
Michele Clark, a board member on the national Granny Basketball organization, said the nonprofit
has been working for the last couple years to expand their division of the league to other parts of the state including Topeka, Louisburg and Olathe.
Sunday's practice at the Lawrence Community Center was open to players from any of those areas who wanted to learn more about the game.
"It provides a way for women to stay active, have fun and meet a lot of new friends," Clark said. "We also get an opportunity to play against teams from other states."
Lawrence's lifelong recreation programmer Gayle Sigurdson is also the captain of the Kansas Grayhawkers, one of Lawrence's teams and she said history also plays a part in the competition, as women weren't always allowed to play basketball, much less with the same rules as men.
"It's not just about meeting other people and having fun, but honoring the history of the sport," she said.
Granny basketball uses 1920s dress, rules and style of play. Most games are six against six and the court is split up by position, so only certain players can go on certain parts of the court.
The athletes wear bloomers, middy blouses, knee-high stockings and collar capes with their

numbers, according to the official rules. If any skin is shown on a player's upper arms or legs, they can be assigned a "flesh foul," which is a technical.
"It's all in good fun," Clark said.
Many of the rules are designed to keep the athletes safe, Clark said, like keeping fouls at three and encouraging players not to run. As the rules say, "No running or jumping, though players may 'hurry' - Infractions constitute a turnover."
"The game provides a way for women to stay active while still staying safe," Clark said.

KU ranked 10th best for veterans
THANKU NETS

In this November 2012 file photo, fans hold up a sign thanking veterans during a game against Southeast Missouri State in Allen Fieldhouse.
The University was named the 10th best school in the nation for veterans, according to the 2016-17 Military Times rankings.
April Blackmon Strange, director of the University's Student Veteran Center, said the University was selected after an extensive selection process.
"The universities fill out this extensive, very detailed survey that talks about different services that each university offers. The Military Times also has a bunch of different criteria that they pull from sources. So a lot goes into their decision on which universities get ranked," Blackmon Strange said.
This is the University's second consecutive year in the top 10, which Blackmon Strange said serves as a source of pride.
"We're definitely very proud to be named to the top 10 again for the second year in a row," Blackmon Strange said.
"We have a very strong and growing Student Veterans of America Association," Blackmon Strange said. "To start with students at the very beginning and getting them involved [by] providing different opportunities throughout their collegiate career and then connecting through our veterans alumni network; for us this isn't a touch and go thing."
According to Blackmon Strange, one way that the University assists veterans is through the Student Veterans of America Association.
"Our goal is to stay high in those rankings and become a recognized leader for taking care of student veterans and their family members."
"A lot of these great organizations, they're having a lot of problems and struggle through their institutions, and that's one thing we don't actually have here at KU. If there's anything that makes SVA
J. R. Cadwallader, president of the KU Student Veterans of America, said that University support is what allows the SVA to succeed, compared to other chapters across the nation.
Cadwallader thinks that the ranking will go up with time, due to the efforts of passionate people at the University.
"There's a lot of great stuff happening nationwide," Cadwallader said."I just know there's a lot of really passionate, active people here on campus that are really pushing to make a lot of great strides for veterans on campus."
so successful, is the fact that our institution does really support us," Cadwallader said.

Temps are high but not unusual
▶ HAILEY DIXON

Eager to wear your winter coat? Many students at the University have traded their November boots and mittens for shorts and flip flops after several weeks of unseasonably warm temperatures.
"The last month or so has been unseasonably warm but by no means record-breaking (except for one record-high low temperature)," David Mecham, associate professor and director of graduate studies in the department of geography and atmospheric science, said in an email.
The high temperatures have some worried about global warming, but Mecham said that this warmer weather can be attributed to a persistent pattern of high pressure, plus little to no precipitation.
According to David Braaten, professor and associate director in the department of geography and atmospheric science, 2016 has been warmer than normal globally. Previously, the warmest year was 2015, and 2014 before that, Braaten said.
"It's following a trend, and it's not just here, it's other places, like up in Alaska," Braaten said. "Part of it is a pattern, and part of it is a long term trend that is related to greenhouse gases."
With such warmer temperatures, the first freeze has not occurred yet. Braaten said that the first freeze usually occurs in the middle of October. According to a climate report by the National Weather Service in Topeka, the last time a freeze did not occur this late in the season in Topeka was in 1998.
The report also said the highest temperature in October in Lawrence was 88 degrees on October 17. This temperature beat last year's October

4 things to know about local elections
Andrew Rosenthal/KANSAN Kansas State Representative of East Lawrence Boog Higheranger (D) attended Douglas County Democrat Watch party at Maceil's Banquet Hall and Catering Tuesday night.
CHANDLER BOESE
@Chandler_Boees
With Tuesday's shocking presidential election, you may have forgotten about all the other things that were voted on. Here's what you need to know about the down-ballot elections.
1. Local legislators committed to repealing campus carry win their elections
All of Lawrence's incumbent legislators won re-election last night, including some who will work to stop concealed carry from coming to the University's campus next year.
According to unofficial results on the Kansas Secretary of State's website, Rep. Barbara Ballard won her election over Michael Lindsey with 75 percent of the vote. Ballard has been vocally against campus carry and has plans to bring forth a bill to permanently exempt colleges.
During the Douglas County Democratic watch party on Tuesday night, Ballard responded to her apparent win.
"I'm really pleased that my constituents elected me for another term," she said. "It means I have a lot of things to finish and more to start."
Sens. Marci Francisco and Tom Holland and Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley also won reelection.
Rep. Dennis "Boog" Highberger ran unopposed in Tuesday's election and took back his seat. He voiced support for Ballard's bill at a campus event last month, saying that he knows his constituents are against campus carry and will do everything he can to stop it.
2. Gov. Brownback won't
appoint new Supreme Court justices
Court justices
In a contentious vote that has drawn attention statewide, voters look like they will choose to retain all of the Supreme Court justices, unofficial results show.
With 100 percent of the precincts reporting, around 55 percent of voters have voted to retain Justices Carol A. Beier, Dan Biles, Lawton Nuss and Marla Luckert. The rejection of these four justices has been the subject of several ad campaigns.
One of the newest justices, Caleb Stegall, was excepted from some of the campaigns because he wasn't present for several of the court's contentious decisions, University professor Stephen Ware told the Kansan for a recent story. The results show 71 percent of voters choosing to retain him.
If the justices would have been rejected, Gov. Sam Brownback would get to appoint new justices from candidates put forth by a nominating committee.
One of the groups trying to oust the members of the court, Kansans for Justice, called the retention vote "a win for criminals and a loss for victims" in a statement, according to an Associated Press story.
3. Kansas legislature stays Republican but becomes
less conservative
Republicans retained their majorities in the Kansas Senate and House, though a few seats transferred to Democrats. A number of moderate Republicans who had ousted more extreme conservatives in the primaries also easily won their seats in the general election.
In the Senate, Democrats retained their eight seats (including three voted on by Douglas County voters) in the 40-person governing body and gained one. Democrat Lynn Rogers took the 25th District in Wichita with 58 percent of the vote, unofficial results show.
House Democrats picked up 12 seats to add to their power in the Senate, giving them 40 seats in the House, a third of the total 120 seats. As the Associated Press reported several of those seats were decided by issues such as school funding and discontent with Brownback.
In Johnson County, Democrat Cindy Holscher defeated Rep. Amanda Grosserode, who has headed up the House's subcommittee on school funding. The AP reported that Holscher's biggest campaign point was attacking Brownback's policies.
Democrat Brett Parker also won over an incumbent Republican in Johnson County. Parker, a teacher with endorsements from educational organizations, unseated Rep. Eric Todd, from Overland Park.
As the Wichita Eagle reported, all of these races were in addition to 14 moderate Republicans who unseated more extreme conservatives in August's primaries and officially won those seats in the general election.
4. Douglas County goes Democrat, sees good turnout
Although Kansas voted Republican in all national races, Douglas County voters chose Democrats across the board, unofficial results show.
62 percent of Douglas County's vote went to Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and 30 percent went to President-Elect Donald Trump. Statewide, Trump had 57 percent of the vote.
For the U.S. Senate 60 percent of Douglas County voters went for Democratic candidate and Lawrence-native Patrick Wiesner over incumbent Republican Jerry Moran, percentages that were nearly flipped statewide.
Kansas' House of Representatives seat went to incumbent Lynn Jenkins with 61 percent of the state's vote. However, Douglas County voters chose challenging Democrat Brittani Potter with 52 percent of the vote.
"The oceans are warmer, the atmosphere is warmer, but the weather still occurs," Braaten said. "So you still get cold periods, and warm periods, and storms and nice, sunny days. When you look
According to the county's election archives this year's turnout for the county's polls was slightly better than the 2012 presidential election with 49,760 ballots, 61 percent of registered voters. However, in 2008, the last time the country was not voting on an incumbent president, more than 53,000 ballots were cast, making up about 64 percent of registered voters.
over that over a period of time, you see it's shifting, the types of experiences you have growing up are going to change.
"It's going to be different, and if you talk to the people across the state, that's what they
tell you 'it's changing,' it's this or that, or drier or colder, or whatever, but they've experienced things that on average are different than what they might have grown up with," he said.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
T7K
These warmer temperatures can also be linked to global warming and greenhouse gasses, according to Braaten.

Path to legal marijuana unclear, despite big wins
A marijuana joint is rolled Wednesday, Nov. 9, 2016, in San Francisco. Prop 64 legalizing marijuana for recreational use passed in California. The number of Americans living in states with recreational marijuana more than tripled after at least three states voted to fully legalize the drug.
Associated Press
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES (AP) The number of Americans living in states with recreational marijuana more than tripled after at least three states voted to fully legalize the drug. But the election of Republican Donald Trump and GOP majorities in the Senate and House tempered advocates' excitement about an easing of federal restrictions.
"There is a massive sense of momentum, and this will put a lot of pressure on the federal government," said Ethan Nadelmann, founder of the nonprofit Drug Policy Alliance, a pro-legalization group. What gives him "real concern" is Trump.
Nadelmann and other advocates say the president-elect is "unpredictable," and they are unsure where he stands on marijuana issues, though Trump has said in the past that he supports state laws legalizing medical marijuana.
Still, analysts and advocates alike say, the industry may be too big and valuable for a Trump administration to stop, especially after California voters legalized the recreational use of marijuana.
Seven states have now legalized recreational pot, and a recent Gallup poll showed close to 60 percent of Americans support the
idea.
Colorado, where stores began legally selling recreational pot in 2014, reported almost $1 billion in legal pot sales last year. Arcview Market Research, which tracks the marijuana industry, estimates that legal annual California pot revenues could exceed $7 billion by 2020.
"The black market will not disappear overnight," said California Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, who helped craft the state's
ballot measure. But he said the illegal market will shrink significantly if California can establish its marijuana regulations without federal interference.
"This is the beginning of the end of the war on marijuana in the United States," said Newsom, who is running for governor.
Todd Mitchem, a Denver-based marijuana industry consultant and lobbyist, said the pot business should expect an
infusion of new interest from investors and wouldbe marijuana growers and retailers.
"It's going to be huge," said Mitchem, who pointed out that Colorado's pot industry is worth $1 billion a year but the state has only about a tenth of California's population. "Economically, you're going to see a lot more people enter the space and a lot more money enter the space."
Other states, too, will

also look with envy at the taxes generated by California and other states where marijuana is legal analyst predicted.
Gavin Newsom California Lt. Gov.
"The states that voted yesterday have a lot of work ahead of them to set up a legalization and tax structure, but I expect many more states will follow their lead," said Joseph Henchman of the Washington, D.C., think tank Tax Foundation.
Even the financial industry's reluctance to do business with marijuana businesses may soon disappear. Most banks refuse marijuana-related customers because of the federal ban.
"It is one thing to ignore the millions generated in Colorado. It is entirely a different thing to ignore the tens of billions that the California cannabis industry will generate," said Michael Weiner, a Denver lawyer who represents pot-related companies. "The big national banks will want to deposit those funds and put those funds to work by making loans."
Northern California farmers said they hoped Trump would recognize the business benefits of legalized pot and leave alone the states where it is allowed.
Recreational marijuana is "going to attract a lot of business," said Nikki Lastreto, a Northern California pot grower. "If the Trump thing wasn't hanging over our head, we'd be in heaven."

EDITORIAL: Defy the message Trump's election sends
▶ KANSAN EDITORIAL BOARD
@KansanNews
On Tuesday night, the Electoral College chose Donald Trump to be the 45th President of the United States. Our next president is a man who has condoned sexual assault, demonstrated substantial prejudice against minorities and mocked Americans with disabilities. In January, Trump will swear to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America. Through his actions, though, he has demonstrated his willingness only to protect the freedoms of those who
This has already had a profound effect on our country. Some students have said they are afraid to attend classes, be seen with their partners, or wear clothing outside of western norms. Many, understandably, see the election as a message that they are unwelcome in their own country.
look and act like him.
Support each other. Do not be silent in the face of hate and prejudice."
It is our duty as Americans to defy that message. As a university, we must come together to condemn hatred and soothe the hurt this bigotry has caused. We must take it upon ourselves to change the environment created by this election and the rhetoric Trump touted, and shape an America where every person feels safe to attend class, practice religion and be with the person they love.
Trump claimed in his victory speech that he will be "[a] president for all Americans."
We need to hold him, and every elected official in this country, to that.
Lawrence, and
Douglas County, voted overwhelmingly against Trump and his racist, sexist and divisive message, and by doing that we made a statement about the kind of country we want to live in. Now it is time to act on that statement.
Reach out to your friends, your classmates, your co-workers. Be kind and understanding. During this divisive election, our nation's sense of empathy has been lost. The time has come to reclaim it.
This is a bleak moment in American history, but there is a path forward. We cannot change the results of the election, but we can change the climate in this country for the better. The responsibility lies with all of us to continue the march toward an America that not only prioritizes, but exemplifies, inclusion and diversity. That is what will make America truly great, and it starts here at KU.
Most importantly, support each other. Do not be silent in the face of hate and prejudice. It is silence that allows hate and prejudice to thrive.

As a law student, I complain a lot. About the workload, the job prospects, the law itself.
To them and to me, a Trump presidency signals a woeful move backward in progress. After electing the first black president, we have just elected a president endorsed by the KKK.
The results of the presidential election have me counting my privileges like lucky stars. Never before have I felt so grateful for my law degree.
But we will not forget what he has said. We will not forget what he has done. We will stay angry.
He is not my President.
Friends of different races and religions called late Tuesday night as they discovered, in real time, what their nation really thought about them. I wept too.

Munoz: Election process should be more secure and transparent
This election cycle has pushed trust in our country's democratic institutions to the edge. There are enough scandals between the two major parties' nominees to make conspiracy theorists and informed voters alike question the system. Cyber attacks toward the DNC and Clinton campaign combined with Donald Trump's claims of a "rigged" election have stoked fears that the election could be stolen or otherwise tampered with.
In light of this, the next president and Congress should actively seek to implement reforms that will boost confidence in our election system. These reforms should include both presidential candidates disclosing

However, that will not be enough. Senior staff members from campaigns should also be subject to at least some of these rules as well. Both co-chairs of Clinton's campaign, John Podesta and Huma Abedin, have been dragged into her email scandal.

managers, Corey Lewandowski, resigned after forcibly grabbing a reporter. Another, Paul Manafort, left after it was reported that the former president of Ukraine paid him an undisclosed $12.7 million for consulting prior to the 2014 civil unrest. The Trump campaign's current CEO, Stephen Bannon, was charged with domestic violence in 1996.
Beyond keeping candidates accountable, the security of our election has also been called into question. Given that early voting takes place in most states, it is too late to implement any major changes to election administration. However, there are several things that can be done for future elections. Congress should update the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to help states pay for more secure election machines.
Currently, nearly all election officials use some form of electronic voting equipment. One such system is direct-recording electronic (DRE) voting machines, which is just a fancy way of saying a paperless system. However,
some officials worry that DREs could be hacked or programmed to "rig" an election. To prevent this, the federal government should provide grants to states to add voter-verified paper audit trails. Essentially, this means that voters would be given a printed receipt to confirm their vote. This can also be used if a recount is necessary.
These steps alone will not solve everything, but they are good starting points. Other ideas could include implementing automatic voter registration to prevent fraudulent registrations as well as more interstate cooperation on voting rules. But regardless of the specifics, something must be done to address voters' fears and preserve the integrity of the world's longest consecutive democracy.

On Oct. 27 actress and "The View" panelist Raven-Symoné dropped major news on live television. She was leaving the daytime talk show by the end of the year, and she's coming back to reprise her role as Raven Baxter for a "That's So Raven II" series on Disney Channel.
The news shook fans of the original series, which aired on Disney Channel from 2003 to 2007, where they immediately took to social media hopeful to see the band back together for another round of fun.
One of the co-creators and executive producers on the show is 1998 University alumnus Scott Thomas. Knowing the success of the original series, Thomas is beginning the process alongside Symoné and co-creator Jed Elinoff to revamp a story many people loved.
"The best case scenario would be to have familiar faces from the old show and have them pop up, have them involved in some way," Thomas said. "But at the same time introduce some new stars through the kids."
The new series will have Baxter as a divorced mother of two pre-teen
"The show will focus on the family and hilarious situations that come out of having a mom with psychic abilities," Thomas, a Coffeyville native, said.
kids years after the original. She will still have the visions of the future that often got her into trouble, although her children haven't shown they have the ability too.
The new series will play off the successful formula of the original. During its run, "That's So Raven" not only entertained audiences but paved the way as the first show to have a black woman star and have her name in a comedy series title. It also won two Nickelodeon
"Part of it is that we want to update the series because it was a fun product of its time," Elinoff said. "Ultimately, it's a character show about relationships and about family and that's really the important part."
Kids' Choice Awards and was nominated for two Primetime Emmy's, among other distinctions.
While the creative team will be looking to pay homage to the original series, they want to stay committed to adding an overarching storyline in the new edition that will get audiences to watch more than one episode at a time. Baxter and her children will be
getting into precarious situations, but they will bond as a result, with the hope that Baxter becomes a model of the hardworking mother in the 21st century.
But of course to get to that point, the classic physical hijinks will be in short order.
"I think the hallmark of the show was the physicality of it," Elinoff said. "So as we're searching for the new cast, we'll be looking for kids that have some real genuine comedic skills. It's hard to find with kids especially, that they don't have the luxury and time to develop these skills so sometimes you're looking for people with raw talent and we can develop."
"We want to get this thing moving quickly, because I think if the internet is anything to judge things by there's a hunger for the show," Elinoff said.
Shortly after they finished, Thomas and Elinoff received a call from a Disney executive about joining the team for a new "That's So Raven" series. Now, they are in the process of developing the pilot script for the show in hopes that they can get the show off the ground as soon as possible.
The longtime creative team of Thomas and Elinoff are no strangers to developing young talent. They are also co-creators of "Best Friends Whenever," a Disney Channel show that just wrapped up its second season. The show tells the story of two teens that have the ability to travel through time.
There is not yet a set time to expect the show's premiere, but they know they have to work diligently to compete with streaming shows on Netflix, Hulu and Amazon.
"We're working with the Disney execs and with Raven to come up with the perfect story to kick this thing off," Thomas said.

Review: Even Tom Hanks can't save 'Inferno'
In this file image released by Sony Pictures, Tom Hanks, left, and Felicity Jones appear in a scene from "Inferno."
GUS HUNNINGHAKE @gushunninghake
Associated Press
ten years ago, Columbia Pictures released "The Da Vinci Code," based on Dan Brown's bestselling novel of the same name and starring Tom Hanks as Professor Robert Langdon. The mystery thriller had a generic storyline, no compelling performances and ran about 20 minutes too long. However, the film made back six times its budget at the box office, leading Columbia to release a sequel, "Angels and Demons," three years later. The film flowed like a carbon copy of the first, with nothing interesting or different enough to call for a 138 minute runtime. However, it made triple its budget at the box office, allowing another sequel to go into production. Though it took seven years to make, "Inferno" once again tries to adapt Dan Brown's controversial source material into a film that's worth viewers' time and money.
"Inferno" is directed by Ron Howard and once again stars Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon, who wakes up in a hospital in Italy with head trauma and minor retrograde amnesia. When the police try and kill him, Langdon flees with Sienna Brooks (Felicity Jones), a doctor who helps him escape. While hiding with Brooks, Langdon finds a Faraday pointer in his coat pocket, which shows a rearranged, manipulated version of Botticelli's "Map of Hell," which is based on Dante's "Inferno," an epic poem describing the various levels of hell itself. Langdon discovers that the manipulations help lead to the location of a man-made virus meant to kill half of the world's population. With WHO and zealots on his tail, Langdon must find the pathogen before it detonates and sends the world to hell.
Sadly, this film is no different from its predecessors in quality. Tom Hanks, one of the best working actors, is about the only person in the film that looks as if he's giving his best effort. Felicity Jones gives a pretty flat performance, with nothing
compelling or interesting about her character until the start of the third act. Even then, those interesting traits are squandered by a generic character are that ends with an unsurprising bang. Ben Fostereq lacks any complexity as Bertrand Zobrist, one of multiple antagonists in this film, and only has about 10 minutes of screen time. Overall, there are no standout performances, even with Tom Hanks' best efforts to portray an intriguing character.
In the end,
"Inferno" lacks anything worth watching"
These poor performances are partially due to screenwriter David Koeppcq, who is responsible for the screenplays for all three films in the Robert Langdon franchise. Koepp, who is also known
for writing "Jurassic Park" (1993), "Spider-Man" (2002) and "Premium Rush" (2012), fails to use any compelling dialogue to propel Langdon and others through the narrative. Author Dan Brown is partially responsible for the lack of complex characters, but Koepp does have a responsibility to write conversations within the story that are more than just flat and boring exposition pieces. Instead, Langdon walks around in almost every scene being told exactly what he needs to hear to figure out the unfolding mystery, which makes Koepp's dialogue dull and unoriginal.
Ron Howard's directing is disappointingly boring and lacks any sure-handedness. Unlike his previous efforts, which include "Apollo 13" (1995), "A Beautiful Mind" (2001) and "Rush" (2013). Howard uses no effort to make this film look or feel thrilling or mysterious. Each scene looks no different than the last, and every shot is
framed and executed with haphazard design and composition. Instead of using shots with various focal and durational lengths, Howard keeps the camera at a pretty static distance from the objects in frame, adding to the story's dullness. He throws out all of his unique tendencies as a director to put together a boring film that feels like it could've been directed by any made-for-TV film director in the business.
In the end, "Inferno" lacks anything worth watching. It's sloppily produced, poorly acted — save for Tom Hanks — written without gusto and directed without any edge. This film proves itself to be part of a franchise whose continued success is determined not by its quality or ability to entertain, but by how easily it earns back its budget in theaters. This is one of the worst films of the year.

“
I wanted to influence — especially inspire those who have autism and are silent, that they are important, that they are included."
Phillip McGruder Senior
Throughout his time at the University, Phillip has looked toward visual learning to assist him as he goes. His mother, Anne Davis-McGruder, helped him instill this in himself at a young age, he said, along with important values to abide by in order to achieve the things he desires.
"Once I discovered Phillip's difficulties around cognition, I knew that I would have to teach him courage, boldness, and other values that would allow him to become his best self," Anne said.
In December of 2014, Phillip saw his determination to push further in his education pay off when he began Believe Autism Matters, a group he long wanted to establish, with an encouraging turnout. The group currently meets once at the end of every month, looking to give a voice to those who are often left out of the conversation, he said.
"I wanted to influence — especially inspire — those who have autism

remedy that, especially those who felt they were labeled as socially awkward before college.
Phillip said he could relate to this feeling. Verbal and physical bullying was a constant presence growing up, though he said that through those experiences he was able to grow stronger emotionally and intellectually.
Despite the difficulties Phillip has dealt with, he said he remains strong due to his parents' past struggles. Anne and Marvin Lee McGruder, his father, were born in the late 30s and late 40s, respectively, and both were close to the civil
rights movement. His mother was born and raised in the deep south.
The strength and will of his father in his later years, McGruder added, would also prove as an inspiration for him.
In September of last year, Phillip's father died after an eight-year battle with Alzheimer's disease. Philip remembers his father's willingness to hold on, even after a seizure in February 2015.
["Phillip] was in a really dark place," Christian Roberson, Phillip's
friend and fellow senior at the University, said. "It was tough to see him like that, because before then, you can really say Phillip was a very positive person, but the loss of his father, to me, was tough because him and his father were super close."
McGruder's mother has also been a motivator for him.
Despite pushback from her community, Anne became the first in the family to graduate college. For Phillip, this display of determination, despite the obstacles she faced, motivated him to graduate himself despite the stigmas he faces.
"Every time I go out that door, I think about my ancestors and I think about my mother and what she had to live through in those moments," Phillip said.
Now, he hopes he can help others with autism through his group, Believe Autism Matters, as he heads toward graduation in May.

Next 'Tunes at Night' to feature The Ovaries-eez
UNIVERSITÀ DEL SUD - ITALY

@SavSmith27
Lawrence band The Ovaries-eez will perform at Tunes at Night on Nov. 10.
Contributed photo
On Thursday, Nov. 10, the Lied Center will host Student Union Activities' "Tunes at Night" featuring The Ovaries-eez.
The band, which started in Lawrence, consists of Johni Lacore, Amber Hansen, and Monica George. Hansen now lives in South Dakota, but will make the trip back home to reconnect with the band.
"It's really refreshing," Lacore said. "I'm glad we can all be together again."
The band was named after a suggestion from a family member and grasps the essence of the band, Lacore said.
"I like having ovaries in it [the name] because I feel like people tiptoe around talking about women's reproductive systems and it's kind of just a punny name," Lacore said.
Bonded by their love for music, Hansen said the women of The Ovaries-eez have a personal
connection to the band and the style of music they choose to play.
"The music is driven by the lyrics and the harmonies. I would say those two things are what we focus on the most. I would say that a lot of the words are trying to poetically address social issues that are on the forefront of our minds as well as our journeys," Hansen said. "We structure the songs so people are able to hear the lyrics. The words and the meaning behind the words are what make
those songs special."
According to Lacore, the music mainly focuses on vocals and harmonies rather than instrumentation. The band's music has been described as "spooky, but dreamy," Lacore said.
The band is inspired by Vashti Bunyan, Mia Doi Todd, Malvina Reynolds, and Nina Simone, along with local Lawrence bands such as Invisible Public Library.
Lacore and Hansen also have high hopes in how their music will
reach their audiences this Thursday.

Big 12 Rankings: WVU dominates Kansas, TCU back on track
▶ WESLEY DOTSON
@WesleyDee23
Oklahoma retained the No.1 spot in the Big 12 rankings after a solid performance against Iowa State, which gives the team six wins in a row. The running game was on full display in the Big 12 this weekend, with monster performances from TCU running back Kyle Hicks and Texas running back D'Onta Foreman. Also, pair of West Virginia running backs both impressed in the Mountaineers' dominating win over the Kansas Jayhawks. TCU's offense, which had been quiet the past two weeks, showed up in a big way in a 40-point victory over Baylor, and don't count out Oklahoma State, which now has the second-most wins in the conference.
Q
1. Oklahoma (Record: 7-2, 6-0 Big 12)
Now riding a six-game winning streak, the offense continues to click for Oklahoma. Quarterback Baker Mayfield threw for four touchdowns passes against Iowa State on Thursday, Nov. 3, and wide receiver Dede Westbrook stayed hot with his sixth-straight game with at least 100+ yards and a touchdown.
WV
6. Texas (Record: 5-4, 3-3 Big 12)
2. West Virginia (Record: 7-1,4-1 Big 12)
The Mountaineers easily handled the Kansas Jayhawks on Saturday night. Quarterback Skyler Howard was excellent, accounting for five touchdowns (two rushing). What was more impressive was the fact that the team produced two 100-yard rushers in Kennedy McKoy (127) and Justin Crawford (129). West Virginia's primary starting running back, Rushel Shell III, was out due to an ankle injury.
Texas now has two-straight wins under its belt after defeating in-state rival Texas Tech. Running back D'Onta Foreman is the real deal. He continued his fantastic season with 341 yards and three touchdowns against the Red Raiders' defense.
C
OSU
Kansas State quarterback Jesse Ertz continued to look like the team's best rusher on Saturday in the loss to Oklahoma State. Ertz ran for 153 yards and three rushing touchdowns. That performance helped produce 37 points for the Wildcats, which is usually good enough for this team to secure a win, but the defense uncharacteristically gave up 637 total yards of offense.
3. Oklahoma State (Record: 7-2, 5-1 Big 12)
Oklahoma State overcame a nine-point deficit in the fourth quarter to defeat Kansas State on Saturday. Quarterback Mason Rudolph continues to be a star on offense, as he finished with 457 yards and five touchdown passes. Don't count out the Cowboys, who now have the second most wins in the conference.
7. Kansas State (Record:
5-4, 3-3 Big 12)
T
An interception thrown in the end zone by Texas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes II with 15 seconds left kept the Red Raiders eight points shy of a potential tie with Texas. The offense was as strong as it usually is when Mahomes is playing well, with the quarterback throwing for 367 yards and three touchdowns. The lone interception just happened to be the game-killer.
8. Texas Tech (Record: 4-5,
2-4 Big 12)
BU
4. Baylor (Record: 6-2, 3-2 Big 12)
What has been a dominant defense this season was embarrassed on Saturday. TCU dropped 62 points on Baylor's defense, with running back Kyle Hicks serving as a one-man wrecking crew. Hicks ran for 192 yards and recorded five touchdowns. After starting the season by winning its first six games, Baylor appears to be hitting a low point.
KU
9. Kansas (Record: 1-8,0-6 Big 12)
The Jayhawks suffered their eighth consecutive loss to the West Virginia Mountaineers on Saturday. It was another struggle on the road for quarterback Montell Cozart, who recorded 124 yards and threw an interception. The main positive for the Jayhawks was the play of backup freshman quarterback Carter Stanley. It came when the game was out of reach, but Stanley did throw for 127 yards and two touchdowns. Kansas scored 14 of its 21 points with Stanley under center.
TCU
5. TCU (Record: 5-4,3-3 Big 12)
The offense had been struggling the past two weeks, but it certainly got back on track against Baylor. Hicks' breakout performance (192 yards, five touchdowns) was a strong sign for the Horned Frogs' rushing attack.
STATE
10. Iowa State (Record: 1-8,
0-6 Big 12)
The Cyclones don't have any Big 12 wins to show for it, but they have steadily improved as the season has carried along. They seemed to have possibly figured out their quarterback situation, which has been a carousel. Joel Lanning, who was the opening game starter, appeared as a running back in disguise in the loss to Oklahoma on Thursday. He ran for 61 yards and a touchdown on seven carries, and that allowed Jacob Park to excel in the passing game by himself. Park completed 16-of-29 passes for 160 yards and two touchdowns.

Kansas vs. Indiana
CHRISTIAN S. HARDY
@ByHardy
AT A GLANCE
Kansas gets a big edge in this game with its two guards at the top — Mason and Graham — who will face a relatively inexperienced group of guards for Indiana. Down low, Thomas Bryant might pose a problem for Kansas, and Indiana has a good amount of young depth down low as well. However, if Kansas controls the pace, matches Indiana when it goes small and limits turnovers, it's highly unlikely that Indiana will be able to pull off an upset in Hawaii.
Carlton Bragg Jr. sophomore forward
PLAYER TO WATCH
Bragg was moved down from his starting position in the second preseason game as Self decided to go with the four guards, something Indiana should do a decent amount in this game. Regardless, Bragg needs to find a way to get out of his "funk," as Self described it after Sunday's game. Carlton's really a good player ... he'll snap out of that." Self said. On Friday, Bragg doesn't need to be a star, but he needs to take a step toward being a reliable post player for Kansas.
QUESTION MARK
How much four-guard offense will Bill Self play?
Self said a week before the season started that he wanted to play small ball
— four guards and one big man — for 10-15 minutes per game, and play his traditional game for 25-30 minutes. The expectation, at least early on in the season, should be on the low end of that, with about 10 minutes in this game, and maybe more if things go well. More importantly, for the first time in this game, we'll get a chance to see how Self will operate with four guards, which we only got a skeleton of in two exhibition games at Allen Fieldhouse.
BY THE NUMBERS
4.8
- Lagerald Vick played 4.8 minutes per game last year, but should get a massive boost this year, coming in somewhere around 20 minutes per game.
104
104 - Kansas scored 104 points in its second exhibition game of the season, with 55 points in the first half against Emporia State.
3,969
Wins alltime between Indiana and Kansas. Kansas is No. 2 in wins all time, and Indiana is No.10.
KANSAS (NO.3)
STARTING FIVE
MARK SCHNEIDER
Frank Mason III, senior, guard
Mason is back for his third year as a starter at Kansas, and he's returning as one of the surefire best point guards in the nation. He's on just about every watch list he could be on. He dominated the preseason: he was one assist from a triple-double in one game and was a perfect 7-for-7 from the floor in the next. He's the clear-cut leader of this Kansas team and the most important player on the roster.
★★★★
M.
Devonte' Graham, junior, guard
Graham and Mason will give Kansas a huge boost in almost every game, but especially in this one, as Indiana is still learning how its guards will work without Yogi Ferrell in the mix. Graham has been quiet in the preseason, but there's no doubt that he and Mason give Kansas a backcourt that opponents will be trying to keep up with all year long. If he can shoot three pointers at the same clip he did last year - 44 percent - Kansas will be in good shape.
★★★★★
ALEXANDER JOHNSON
Lagerald Vick, sophomore, guard
Vick has been the talk of the preseason, and he started in Kansas' second preseason game over Carlton Bragg Jr., as Bill Self opted for a fourguard lineup. He may be the biggest surprise for Kansas fans who haven't followed the team in the offseason. The sophomore didn't get much run last year, but he's incredibly athletic and can score in many different ways. His length should help Kansas contend for rebounds, and his slashing along with Josh Jackson's — should open up shots for the rest of the team.
★★★☆
ALEXANDER WATSON
Josh Jackson, freshman, guard
The No. 1 recruit will make his regular-season debut, and it could be at the four, depending on the lineup Self decides to go with. Regardless, the star freshman will start in this game. Self has wanted more drive-and-dish from Jackson after the two exhibition games, and less trying to create his own perimeter shots, which is something he did a lot of throughout high school. However, word from Kansas' practice — via Jay Bilas — is that Jackson has been a better shooter than expected. While he's not going to be encouraged to shoot earlier in the year, his shot will be a huge asset to Kansas later on.
★★★★☆
Landen Lucas, senior, center
Lucas can be considered the weak link in this Kansas starting five, with four stud guards, but he'll more than get the job done. Kansas needs Lucas to stay on the floor if Self wants to run its four-out, one-in offense, and if it wants to have a veteran presence in the paint. Behind Lucas, freshman Udoka Azubuike is the only healthy player who could be relied upon at five. That makes Lucas all that more valuable down low.
★★☆☆
INDIANA (NO.11)
STARTING FIVE
DAVID WALKER
Josh Newkirk, junior, guard
Newkirk transferred from Pittsburgh and takes the floor for his first season for Indiana. He seems to fit right into the point guard position for the Hoosiers, and recorded four assists in Indiana's exhibition win over Bellarmine.
★★☆☆☆
5
Robert Johnson, junior, guard
Since the Hoosiers lost Yogi Farrell to graduation last season, Johnson is the most important piece to replace him. Johnson is the most experienced player on the Indiana team, having started 22 games last season.
★★★★☆
NON-IDENTIFIED
James Blackmon Jr., junior, guard
Blackmon returns to Indiana for another year and completes the backcourt for the Hoosiers. After a season-ending knee injury early last year, Blackmon looks to provide some outside scoring for the Hoosiers.
★★★☆☆
100
OG Anunoby, sophomore, forward
Anunoby is Indiana's go-to player. The sophomore big man is set to have a breakout season this year and will be the most important player for Kansas to stop. Anunoby went for 25 points in Indiana's last exhibition tune-up for the season.
★★★★★
BROOKLYN
COLLEGE
BASKETBALL
Thomas Bryant, sophomore, center For an Indiana team that struggles at shooting the three, it's a good thing they have two solid big men to get baskets down low. Bryant will complement Anunoby this season. Bryant recorded 11 points and seven rebounds against Bellarmine.
★★★★☆
SKYLAR ROLSTAD
@SkyRolSports
AT A GLANCE
Indiana has some things that match up well with Kansas, but the whole product isn't quite there. While Bryant and Anunoby will be forces in the paint, Self has always prided himself on his team's strength down low. The Hoosiers could cause some problems for the Jayhawks on defense with three veterans defending on the perimeter, but the Hoosiers have some deficiencies when it comes to offense for the guards. Outside shooting might be a problem, as Indiana was abysmal in shooting the three in two exhibitions.
PLAYER TO WATCH
ALVIN CAMPBELL
Devonte Green, freshman guard
Green is the son of the San Antonio Spurs' Danny Green. He steps into the Indiana lineup looking like a player who can contribute a lot to the backcourt for Indiana. Green impressed with 17 points in Indiana's last exhibition game. Green's contribution against Kansas doesn't look to be huge, as the starters for the Hoosiers, are much more experienced than anyone on the bench, but Green could cause some surprises.
QUESTION MARK
How successful can the Hoosiers be down low?
Kansas' biggest weakness and Indiana's biggest strength match up perfectly. Other than Lucas, there isn't a certain big man to partner up and play great defense in the paint. With Anunoby and Bryant, Indiana will look to exploit that weakness. This game will be won or lost based on how much Kansas will allow Indiana to get points down low from Anunoby and Bryant.
BY THE NUMBERS
6 Indiana struggled big time from three-point land in its last exhibition game, going 6-of-23.
73 — Indiana scored 73 points in its last exhibition game, a 73-49 win over Bellarmine.
14
14 - This will be the 14th meeting between Kansas and Indiana. Kansas can even the series with a win, as Indiana currently leads 7-6.

Border War returns in NCAA soccer tournament
SKYLAR ROLSTAD
@SkyRolSports
When the Kansas Jayhawks soccer team gathered Monday afternoon in the Naismith Room at Allen Fieldhouse to learn their NCAA tournament fate, the team already had a pretty solid idea of what it was up against.
"We had a pretty good idea we would be playing Missouri," Kansas coach Mark Francis said. "We've already watched video on them, so we were hoping that would be who we would play."
A renewing of the Border War between Kansas and Missouri was indeed announced by the NCAA's selection show for the tournament.
The Tigers are ranked 41st in the RPI rankings, which matches up almost perfectly with Kansas, which is ranked 21st in the RPI.
"Im excited," Kansas midfielder Jackie Georgoulis said. "It will give us a little bit of revenge from [my] sophomore year so I'm ready."
Kansas will host Missouri at Rock Chalk Park this Sunday, Nov. 13. The match will kick off at 1 p.m.
The regional matchup is a common one for both schools. Kansas lost 3-1 to Missouri in 2014, the last time Kansas made the NCAA tournament.
It will give us a little bit of revenge from [my] sophomore year so I'm ready."
Jackie Georogulis Senior midfielder
For Francis, it is his seventh NCAA tournament appearance in his 18 years as the Jayhawks' coach. This appearance comes on the heels of an early exit from the Big 12 tournament, in which the Jayhawks went out early with a 1-0 loss to the TCU Horned Frogs.
Francis said the early exit might be a blessing in disguise. His team almost certainly would have been facing the Tigers in the first game of the tournament regardless, and the extra rest will be beneficial.
"I said to them after the [TCU] game disappointing for us to lose the way we did,
because I thought we had a good shot at winning it this year, but the bottom line is we've gotten to train four times," Francis said. "It's a little bit of a blessing. Let's say we're feeling a little bit different today than the girls from TCU or West Virginia, that just played yesterday, are now."
Francis also pointed out Kansas' tough schedule preparing it for the tournament. Kansas faced 12 teams that were selected to the tournament in the regular season.
The Big 12 was well-represented in the tournament with six teams in the bracket, but there were some questionable picks.
The most glaring was Texas Tech. The Red Raiders finished eighth — second to last — in the Big 12 and only earned two conference wins. The Red Raiders also bowed out of the Big 12 tournament in the first game with a 3-0 loss to West Virginia.
Baylor, with a third-place finish in the Big 12, was inexplicably left out of the tournament. Iowa State was also left out of the tournament with a fifth-place finish in the Big 12.

Cross country sets sights on championships at regionals
▶ ADAM SCHERZER
@AJScherz
The Kansas men and women's cross country teams are headed to Iowa City, to compete in the NCAA Midwest Regional Championships on Friday.
This event consists of the best teams from Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois and Missouri. Just like the Big 12 Championships, Oklahoma State and Iowa State will be favored on both the men's and women's sides.
The larger the meet means the better the competition, but a bid to the NCAA Championships is also on the line. Individuals may qualify for the national tournament, but it would be a bigger accomplishment to qualify as a team. The women's team qualified for the 2015 NCAA Championships.
"The purpose of the regional meet is for us to try to qualify for the NCAA Championship," coach Stanley Redwine said. "It just can't be a one-person deal with Sharon to perform well. The goal is to go as a team and hopefully we can do that."
Redwine said he has noticed this problem and addressed his team about it. Running as a pack has been their game plan all year — that is what is going to propel this team to success.
"Everyone has to have their good meet on that one day," Redwine said. "It just seems like so far that one person's been off a little bit, then another person's been off the next time."
In order for the entire team to qualify, every single runner needs to be at the top of his or her game, Redwine said.
"They're showing it and starting to run better together in practice, so we just
Sophomore Sharon Lokedi is coming off of the best finish of her career. She took home the individual title by placing first at the Big 12 Championships. Lokedi will look to work off of that success and will be the tone-setter if the Jayhawks are to qualify for the National Championship.
Unlike most of the season, this time the men's team will have to run a 10K rather than a 8K. The Kansas men have not competed in a 10K all season.
The University of Iowa is hosting the meet on the Ashton Cross Country Course. The women will run in the 6K at 11:00 a.m. and the men will participate in the 10k at 12:00 p.m.
need for that to happen at the meet," Redwine said.
"The little unknown is how they will react to running a 10K versus an 8K," Redwine said. "Hopefully their confidence is there to be able to go out and continue to run well together so that we can try and get an outside bid at making it to the championship."
If the Jayhawks perform well this Friday and qualify for the NCAA Championships, the meet will be held next Saturday, November 19, in Terre Haute, Ind.

KU and ISU still looking for QB ahead of matchup
"They are a lot better than 1-8." Beaty said during his weekly press conference on Tuesday. "They are the best 1-8 team in the country. Maybe one of the best 1-8 teams you really have seen."
The Cyclones don't have any Big 12 wins to show for that improvement, but they seemed to have possibly figured out their quarterback situation, which has been a carousel to this point.
Joel Lanning, who was the opening-game starter, appeared as a running back in disguise in the loss to Oklahoma last Thursday. He ran for 61 yards and a touchdown on seven carries, and that allowed Jacob Park to excel in the passing game. Park completed 16-of-29 passes for 160 yards and two touchdowns.
► WESLEY DOTSON
@WesleyDee23
Although the Cyclones will enter Lawrence with a record-matching the Jayhawks, Kansas coach David Beaty had high praise for a team that has made strides in recent Big 12 games.
One team will finally win its first Big 12 game of the season when Kansas (1-8,0-6 Big 12) and Iowa State (1-8,0-6 Big 12) clash on Saturday at Memorial Stadium.
"Joel Lanning, he's a dangerous guy," Beaty said. "He can run it and he can throw it. He's big and he's got a lot of experience. He's a good player. Jacob Park, they love that guy throwing the football and I can see why — he can sling it."
As for the Jayhawks, they have been spiraling in a different direction. While the team has seen improvement of play in Big 12 games like TCU and Oklahoma State, it has encountered setbacks against Baylor, Oklahoma and West Virginia.
One of the main issues for Kansas has been the inconsistent quarterback play on offense. Redshirt junior Montell Cozart, sophomore Ryan Willis and redshirt freshman Carter Stanley have all seen snaps this season.
Kansas will enter the game with an eight-game losing streak.
[Lanning's] big and he's got a lot of experience. He's a good player."
David Beaty Coach
Cozart was the latest to struggle, as he recorded only 124 yards and threw an interception in a 48-21 loss to West Virginia last week. He suffered a concussion late in the third quarter of the game, and that opened the door for Stanley.
Stanley was able to find success late in the game, as he threw for 127 yards and two touchdowns. Kansas scored 14 of its 21 points with Stanley under center.
With Cozart returning to practice this week, Beaty said a starter will be named after "we go through
practice [Tuesday] and [Wednesday]."
Stanley, who was able to produce more points in less drives than Cozart, could be in line for the first start of his collegiate career if Cozart isn't able to play.
"Our deal is we want to win," Beaty said. "And whatever we've got to do to help ourselves get a chance to get that victory is what we've got to do. It's not about what's challenging. It's about what is best for this football team."
Beaty has said from the beginning of the season that he is always evaluating players at every position. Giving Stanley a start against Iowa State could provide that spark for what has been a dreadful Kansas offense.
"I said before, there's something about him," Beaty said. "He's got kind of a gamer deal to him. He did a good job the other day. I fully expect him to be prepared if his number is called this week. Just how I expect all of them to be prepared this week."
"And listen, [Stanley] did a great job in that game the other night sparking us, and he kind of left that game with a hot hand."
Kickoff is scheduled for 11 a.m. and can be seen locally on Fox Sports Network.

B undled up against the weather and carrying signs, flags and mega-

The gathering was organized by several students at Lawrence High School. Viveca Price, a junior at LHS and one of the organizers, said the march was an effort to stand up for human rights, which she said are threatened by a Trump presidency.

good to see that but it's sad. We shouldn't have to be doing this still."
Participants began gathering in South Park at about 6:30 p.m. Saturday night and had grown to a large crowd by 7:30 p.m. Hundreds held signs with phrases like "Bridges not walls," "Stop the hate," "Love conquers all," "Flunk the electoral college," and "Not my president."
After half an hour of personal testimonies and words of encouragement in the park, the protesters marched down Massachusetts Street, shouting chants like "We reject the President-Elect," and "Dump Trump."

University responds to harassment concerns
▶ CHANDLER BOESE
@Chandler_Boese
Several of the University's offices have responded to increased concerns about harassment and discrimination on campus over the past week.
The University's International Student Services office is offering extra support and safety measures for students who may be feeling unsafe on campus.
In an email sent out last week, ISS said international students can call their office if they would like someone to escort them to class.
"In the coming weeks as leadership transitions in the U.S., it is important that we continue to seek out areas of commonality and work to bridge differences that potentially divide us," the email said. "The faculty and staff at KU are here to make sure you are supported during this transition and your educational goals continue uninterrupted."
According to the ISS Facebook page, nearly 100 people have volunteered to help escort.
Joe Monaco, the University's director of strategic communications, said no one has requested ISS' new service as of Friday afternoon. He also said no incidents of harassment or discrimination of international students have been reported to the Public Safety Office or the Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access.
Student Body President and Vice President, Stephonn Alcorn and Gabby Naylor, also released a statement Friday, encouraging students to use the resources on campus if they experience harassment or discrimination.
"Over the course of the last few days, many students have expressed concerns and shared experiences of increased harassment and hatred in both implicit and explicit forms on our campus," the statement said. "These acts have no place at our University. Every Jayhawk deserves to feel a sense of community and belonging."
ISS, the Student Senate executives and Monaco encouraged students to report incidents of harassment or discrimination to IOA or PSO.

Although this was LeClair's first time competing in the 5K, race director Randy Masten said that this race is part of the University's long-standing military tradition.
"KU has got a very long military tradition of supporting our veterans,"
Masten said. "We've been doing [the race] in its current format for five years, and it was run two years before that, much smaller."
Masten said the race is designed to show support for those that are affiliated with the military.
"The purpose of the race is to increase awareness of, and funding for, the KU Veterans Alumni Network, the Student Veterans of America, the Student Veterans Center that's going in Summerfield [Hall] in January and for the Wounded Warrior Scholarships," Masten said.
The course began at
Memorial Stadium and ran through the main Lawrence campus, past the University's five war memorials.
LeClair, who spent almost three years in the Army Reserves, said that, among other reasons, she ran to show support for her husband, who served in the military for 13 years.
"I'm running today to support all our veterans, especially those wounded, and to show support for KU." LeClair said.
Masten said he wants all the runners to leave with an understanding of the University's commitment to the armed forces.
"I just hope that they realize that Jayhawks have served, and are serving, and will continue to serve our nation in the armed forces," Masten said.
Once all the runners passed through the green inflatable finish line, smiles and high fives were seen all around.
"It's a wonderful vibe," LeClair said. "You can really tell that there's a lot of support for the military veterans and what they stand for, and what they've been through."

On-campus drug citations increase

RYAN MILLER
@Ryanm_reporter
The incidents usually occur late at night. A resident assistant doing rounds in a residence hall smells marijuana coming from a room. The RA makes a phone call to the KU Public Safety Office and, typically within minutes, an officer is on scene investigating and knocking on the door.
If a resident doesn't answer, the officer reaches out to the District Attorney's office to apply for a search warrant. Once a judge reviews and signs the warrant, the officer can enter the resident's room. Oftentimes, the officer returns the same night to serve the search warrant, although they have several days to do so.
The speed with which officers can get search warrants today is one of the reasons University police have charged more students with drug crimes in recent years.
"It's
It's not necessarily
James Anguiano KU PSO Captain
there's more people using marijuana,it's just that there's more people getting cited for the use of marijuana."
The process wasn't always so quick, but in the last two years, since new criteria for search warrants and a more streamlined process was introduced, officers have been able to handle drug crimes faster and more efficiently.
In 2015, there were 186 drug related crimes at the University, an increase from 177 in 2014 and 107 in 2013, according to KU PSO. The majority of the cases involved drug paraphernalia or possession of marijuana.
Streamlining the process
Since the beginning of the school year through October, KU PSO has received 29 drug related calls, said KU PSO Captain James Anguiano.
"It's not necessarily there's more people using marijuana, it's just that there's more people getting cited for the use of marijuana," Anguiano said. "So that's why the numbers have shown that steady increase."
Anguiano attributed the higher number of citations to a collaboration between multiple organizations over the past few years.
"When you see the numbers rise, it was based on a collaborative effort between student housing, public safety, and the district attorney's office," Anguiano said.
Anguiano said since
about 2014, officers have been applying for more search warrants, and have had more success obtaining them when dealing with marijuana cases. He also said student housing staff has been better trained to recognize marijuana and report it to them.
KU PSO also worked with the Douglas County District Attorney's Office on new criteria to apply for a search warrant, which also contributed to more reports being taken, Anguiano said.
If a student doesn't let KU PSO in their room and there is probable cause to believe there is marijuana, KU PSO applies for a search warrant through a quicker, more streamlined process, which has resulted in an increase in search warrant usage, Anguiano said.

Working with student housing
Diana Robertson, the director for Student Housing, said the continued collaboration with KU PSO is about trying to foster safe environments for residents.
to support the students," Robertson said. "In my mind, they paid for a space that should be free of that and to be able to help enforce that and support that was our motivation."
"From our end in student housing, it's about trying to protect community residents ... [and] to be able
"Even if we don't make contact with somebody, but we have an odor or somebody smokes in their room and leaves, we're still going to apply for a search warrant," Anguiano said. "So that's helped us."
According to the city's website, a citation can range from $200 to $2,500, and the person involved could face jail time of up to one year. The student also has to go through the student housing conduct process.
Robertson said that student conduct takes an educational approach. Then,depending on the severity of the violation and if the behavior is repetitive, the student's housing contract could be called into jeopardy.
"We want to make sure we're educating people about the laws and the consequences along the way so generally there's a first step of education, as with any policy," Robertson said.
Aside from residence halls, Anguiano said marijuana has also been mostly confiscated in residence hall parking lots and during car stops.
Colorado could be an influence
A recent survey of WHO released by the Kansas Attorney General found that a higher percentage of marijuana confiscated in Kansas is coming from Colorado since its legalization in 2014.
The Kansas Highway Patrol found that 48 percent of the marijuana seized in 2015 had Colorado origins, an increase of 30 percentage points from 2013, the Attorney General report said.
"Since we are so close to Colorado,some people think the law's the same everywhere," Anguiano said.
In 2014, KU PSO was able to identify 14 marijuana cases attributed to Colorado, according to the report.
Despite the marijuana edibles' increase across Kansas the last few years, Anguiano said the University isn't seeing a lot of them, but largely marijuana in its dry, vegetative form. The main problem the KU PSO has with edibles, Anguiano said, is that they're harder to detect and recognize.
To help combat this, KU PSO includes information about marijuana edibles, oils, and waxes in addition to its vegetative form in trainings for new officers and student housing, where marijuana is found the most on campus.

A group of K-State students show their signs at Saturday night's "Lawrence Against Trumps Hate" protest.

FROM PROTEST PAGE1
Some were high school students who weren't old enough to vote, but wanted to show their support. Others were parents and grandparents who brought their small children. Many were students from the University or surrounding colleges even a group of Kansas State University students joined in.
Although all the protestors wanted to show their dissatisfaction with Trump, many also had a personal reason for attending.
"I am here as someone who has been raped and as someone who is a member of the LGBT community," Emma Paape, a sophomore from Forest Lake, Minn.
said. "I have friends that are members of the LGBT community, I have Muslim friends, I have friends who are people of color. I have friends who are in danger because of this man who apparently we elected even though the people elected Hillary."
A major point of contention for some marchers was the electoral college, which allots a certain number of votes for each state a candidate wins by popular vote. Although Hillary Clinton won more individual votes across the nation, Trump won more states, and therefore won the presidency.
"My girlfriend and I are really just here to show our disgust with how this election has turned out," Connor Mosley, a protestor and
resident of Lawrence, said. "It really just bothers us that even though the majority of the population voted for Hillary Clinton we ended up with Donald Trump, who has promoted so much hate and unrest in this country. This is something that we are not proud of. We want people to know we aren't, and that we don't feel safe."
The march was nonviolent and, although there were some verbal altercations, there was little conflict between protesters and bystanders.
Samantha Hershberger, a teacher from Topeka, was walking back from the Sandbar when she ran into the marchers.
"I think that everyone has a right to disagree with something, but I feel like a
lot of it has been done with a lot of hate," Hershberger said. "I disagree, we can't stop it, but in different parts of the U.S. it's been so hateful and so wrong. It's uncomfortable for everyone, people feel unsafe and I just don't agree with it."
Jackson Brungardt, a junior at Lawrence Free State High School, was another bystander downtown Saturday night who disagreed with the protestors. He said he doesn't have a problem with people exercising their freedom of speech, but doesn't think it will change anything.
"In reality, this isn't going to change the president-elect, Donald Trump, and I like some of Hillary's views. I don't like all of Trump's views, but I think
Trump's a better guy for president, Hillary lies about a lot of stuff — so does Trump — but the things Hillary lies about are serious," Brungardt said. "I just think this is spreading hate, and it's a bit ignorant in the way I see it."
The crowd spent a little over half an hour on Massachusetts street before returning to South Park for more personal testimonies and reflections.
Price said she hopes that at the end of it all, people found a community where they can feel supported.
"What I hope to see is that there are more people in Lawrence who build a network," Price said. "Who say 'We are safe, we are safe people, if you need any help, we are here.'"

Dual-campus students hit administrative roadblocks

Some students who attend classes part-time at both the Lawrence campus and KU Medical Center have trouble accessing the benefits of being a full-time student.
hours and works three days a week at the University—a pretty normal load. But when she got sick earlier this semester and visited Watkins Health Center, she was told that she wasn't a full-time student and hadn't paid the full-time student fee, so she couldn't get health care without paying a couple hundred dollars.
Bode is one of a few dozen students enrolled in a dual-campus program between the Lawrence campus and the University of Kansas Medical Center. Because
these programs are outside the norm and cross the administrative boundary between the main University and its medical center, the University systems often fail to recognize the students in these programs as full-time.
["University administrators] don't recognize that you're a full-time student, so it's like on each campus you're a part-time student," Bode said. "You don't really think about the benefits that you get from being a full-time student until you don't have them."
Bode is in the first year of working toward her master's in speech-language pathology.
Tanya Honderick, an
administrator for a master's in Public Health (MPH) program at the medical center, said some of her students have struggled with the University's classifying system as well. While not
all of the MPH students go between campuses, a few are simultaneously enrolled in an Applied Behavioral Science Ph.D. program at the Lawrence campus.
"It is a little tricky for
those students because of the two different campuses," Honderick said. "Even though it's one university, sometimes there are different processes or sometimes different requirements for the two campuses."
Honderick has dealt with systems like Human Resources or Enroll and Pay not recognizing her students' dual enrollment. She said she recently had to do special paperwork to get one of her students to start a Graduate Teaching Assistant position.
"We do have to pay special attention or do some extra things to help those students get everything coordinated right within the systems," she said.
Despite some downfalls, however, Bode said there are some beneficial aspects of the programs, since her classes in Lawrence focus on the more theoretical and social aspect of speech-language pathology, whereas her Medical Center classes provide an insight into the medical side. She also said there's a little bit of a cultural difference between the campus.
"Being in Lawrence, you feel like a student," she said. "On the Med Center campus, you feel like a working adult, because you're walking into the Med Center ... with your lunchbox and ID badge on and you're dressed more professionally."

My mother did not live to cast her own vote this year, or to see me cast my first vote in a presidential election for a woman.
The moment I did the math on election night and realized Hillary Clinton couldn't win, I felt the ghost of grief over my mother reappear and take a firm hold on my heart, squeezing in that achingly familiar how-will-I-get-my-nextbreath way that dwells closer to the surface than expected. The grief I feel today mirrors the loss I felt nearly four years ago; in each instance, it ushered in a fundamental restructuring of how I view my life and my future. Tuesday, though, brought in a
new, raw uncertainty about American society, my place in it and the positions of people I care about.
Today, I grieve. I feel the hopelessness, the despair, the anger, the frustration, the fear. I fear for the lives and safety of myself, my loved ones and strangers I will never meet. Today, the words and actions of a man we have elected validate the Brock Turners and George Zimmermans and Darren Wilsons of the nation and the world.
Early this semester, I got on the bus and the men who sat behind me spoke of chasing after women when they go running to "make them feel alive." The fear, anger, and disgust I felt at that moment are now amplified as I face this election's result. This is one infinitesimal picture
of the danger people faced before, reaffirmed as acceptable by an electorate that put a known bigot into the most powerful office in the country.
Early this election, someone I consider a friend said social issues don't matter in elections. This time, that rings true. White people, uncomfortable with their newfound displacement caused by a shifting economic structure and cultural and demographic revolution, forgot or conveniently never internalized how we as a nation have systematically denied our fellow human beings the rights, opportunity, and dignity white people enjoy as a given. They placed their (rightful) anger over economic frustration and abandonment over the basic humanity of us all.
Today, I recognize my privilege allows me to feel newly unsafe, while others of more marginalized identities have never felt either safety or hospitality in America. I offer my support to my fellow women, to trans* folks and LGBT+ people, to people of color, to disabled people and immigrants. I recognize that support and words without action are empty and worthless, and while I work to realize these words, I invite your suggestions as to how to make them have meaning and action behind them.
To infuse our community with care, pride and doggedness to keep the progress we've made, to make further strides in fulfilling our responsibilities in ensuring all people feel welcome, safe and whole in our country, we must motivate ourselves to action. No longer can we lay quiescent, content to let others make these decisions for us; to emerge from this presidency more resilient, with a greater conviction of purpose and cognizance of our peers' needs, we must listen, include, strategize and act. We have the collective power to create influence if only we do not fall into cynicism and dismay.
Today, I grieved a loss with renewed but familiar pain. Tomorrow, I act, and I invite you all to join me.

Next Saturday, Nov. 19, the Lawrence Arts Center will be presenting "B Human: Part Two," a dance performance put together by Point B Dance Company.
Point B is known for exhibiting the different stages of life through dance, film and spoken word, according to the center's website.
"B Human: Part Two will center around displaying the unity of human emotion and interaction through dance, and will explore the recent political conflict by promoting diversity and union despite differences.
Choreographer and Point B Dance Company Director Cathy Patterson said she wants the audience to engage in that concept while viewing the show.
The show will be split into four sections, each featuring a different stage of life: adolescence, young adulthood, middle age and then beyond.
"In the wake of the division in our country, this show takes on an even bigger purpose of promoting unity within diversity," Patterson said. "In fact, our last section 'ageless' ... the main theme is unity."
"It explores the different challenges and joys that each age feels," Patterson said. "My hope is that audience members will first connect with and relate to the age section they fall into and secondly, to enlighten them on the challenges that other age groups face and build compassion for their issues."
Through this performance, Patterson hopes that audience members will understand the message of inclusion and diversity acceptance.
"This show and company are unique in that we try to include the audience along our dance journey," Patterson said. "We try to make them feel and hopefully inspire them to become open and accepting of others."
Blair Armstrong, one of the show's performers, said she finds the different stages of life uniquely beautiful, and wants the audience to feel that as well, but not just the positive aspects of each.
"I want the audience to see the beauty in pain, love, heartbreak and so may other feelings," Armstrong said. "I want the audience to see the true beauty of what it means to be human."
Armstrong said her favorite aspect of the show is its ability to tell stories that not only display a range of
human emotion and beauty of age, but an all-encompassing story.
"Cathy Patterson is a genius, and has created a show that is not just dances but creates stories throughout each vignette," Armstrong said. "Each vignette tells a different compelling story, but then all of the vignettes run together that tell the story of somebody's entire life. The show is brilliantly done, and every single dance is unique in its own way."
Tickets are $10 and the performance begins at 7 p.m.
The Spencer Museum's massive, multi-modal 'Temporal Turn' exhibit explores Asian culture

Temporal Turn: Art & Speculation in Contemporary Asia, at the Spencer Museum of Art. The gallery will be open until March 21, 2017. Andrea Ringgenberg/KANSAN
On Thursday night, the Spencer Museum of Art opened its first full exhibit since renovations with pieces from 26 different artists from across Asia. Temporal Turn, as the exhibit is titled, explores a "rich mosaic of ideas about time and history," said Elizabeth Kanost, the museum's communications coordinator.
Andrea Ringgenberg/KANSAN
il March 12, 2017.
"This is a beautiful display of all kinds of media from sculptures to paintings to tapstries to short films," Kanost said. "And one of the best parts is that it's all contemporary work, meaning that all the artists are alive and active."
Four of the artists included were invited into the museum as artists-in-residence in October to work on site-specific commissions created exclusively for the exhibit. Konoike Tomoko from Japan, Rohini Devasher from India, Park Jaeyoung from South Korea and Sahej Rahal from India each worked over the past couple months on a variety of pieces, including the large clay installation recently seen outside the museum's entrance.
"We're very lucky to have been able to get such amazing talent to the museum," Kanost said. "We're the only comprehensive art museum in the state of Kansas, and I believe that tonight's exhibit
really shows that off."
The opening of Temporal Turn featured several guest speakers introducing the different themes of the night, followed by a free buffet, live music and two hours to peruse the artworks, though Kanost said visitors may need more time to fully appreciate the exhibit.
"This is an incredibly large exhibit and it's full of so many different things that I think it would be best for people, especially if you live nearby, to come in several times to really enjoy it," Kanost said. "One video
Since the renovations, the museum's first floor has been empty to allow for guest speakers and to show off the improvements, but with Temporal Turn, the space is completely full, breathing new life into the once solemn chamber.

my, mathematics and space exploration; "Mythopoeia," in purple, investigates Asian figures from both a historical and mythological lens; "Human/Posthuman/Inhuman," in red, explores the ideas of human evolution; and "Anthropocene," in orange, looks at how humans transform nature and the environment around them.
"One of the pieces that I worked on included old church pews from a disused church here in Lawrence," Rahal said about one of his "Mythopoeia" pieces. "And to me, they become these
fossilized ruins that, to my mind, belong to the future, but are actually pieces from the past."
Rahal also created a short film he said plays on the concept of archeology in that it stars fictional historical figures and focuses on their impact on Indian culture.
While the art comes from Asian influences, the eclectic media could provide something interesting for nearly everyone. Temporal Turn will be hosted at the museum until March 12.

Review: 'Hacksaw Ridge' is a gripping, personal drama
GUS HUNNINGHAKE
@gushnunninghake
This image, released by Summit, shows Andrew Garfield in a scene from "Hacksaw Ridge."
Associated Press
Since the uproar he caused over various anti-Semitic remarks in 2006. Mel Gibson has been pretty quiet in Hollywood. Outside of roles in small films like "Edge of Darkness," "Get the Gringo" and "Blood Father," Gibson has done no work as a director since the underrated "Apocalypto" was released in 2006. Now, 10 years later, Gibson has jumped back into the limelight with "Hacksaw Ridge" in an attempt to prove that no amount of controversy can stop him from making a quality film.
"Hacksaw Ridge" is a true story that largely takes place during World War II and stars Andrew Garfield as Desmond Doss, a conscientious objector who joins the Army because he believes he can help in ways that no one else can by not killing people. As he moves through the ranks, Doss faces the pressure from everyone around him to forget his convictions and bend to the will of fighting in the war. Doss' struggles all come to a head at Hacksaw Ridge in the Battle of Okinawa, where he calls on his faith to save 75 soldiers from certain death in a place where the hell of war seems to squander any sense of hope. His bravery earns him the Congressional Medal of Honor, marking him the first ever conscientious objector to win the highest award for service to the United States.
Andrew Garfield has one of the best performances of his career as Doss."
This is one of the most instantly gripping and engaging war films in recent years. The horrors of war have not been this well-realized since Kathryn Bigelow's "The Hurt Locker." As a director, Gibson excels in filming gruesome violence. However, he does so in a way that is terrifying and grounded in realism. Nothing about the battle scenes feels dramatized or added for emotional effect. Gibson has a knack for making these sequences feel personal and true to life. It allows the viewer to be transported right into the thick of it with the other soldiers. Instead of glorifying violence, Gibson keeps the action realistic and gut-wrenching by making the battlefield feel more like a horror scene than a big set piece.
Before Doss' heroics in Japan occur, the film takes time to develop his character stateside as well. Doss' past is important in realizing the decisions he makes, especially when it comes to choosing not to take part in being violent himself. By taking the time to invest in his character from such a young age, the film succeeds in making Doss a
humble, likable hero whose convictions feel valid. It also allows the tension to build up before he and the other soldiers go to Japan to make their mark in the war.
Andrew Garfield has one of the best performances of his career as Doss. He perfectly depicts the hope Doss feels and the struggle he goes through once his beliefs come into question. Garfield delivers emotion and a dramatic heft in his performance that deserves every bit of praise. Look out for his name when Oscar season rolls around.
The supporting cast steps up to the plate in this film as well. Teresa Palmer has perfect chemistry with Garfield as Dorothy, Doss' love interest. Their scenes together are heartwarming and impactful to the emotional core of the film. There are some cheesy lines, but they fit well with the time period and do not detract from the impact of Doss and Dorothy's relationship.
Perhaps the most surprising performance comes from Vince Vaughn as Sergeant Howell. His role is quite comical, and it adds some lightness to the serious tone of the film, especially during the boot camp scenes. However, Vaughn plays against his normal character type and matches his comedy with an understated seriousness that allows his character to be impactful at times when it counts most.
The only negative aspect of "Hacksaw Ridge" is the way in which it wraps up the final battle sequence. Instead of adding another 20 minutes of runtime, the film montages through the last battle in about five to 10 minutes. This choice is effective enough, but giving more time to let the battle unfold at a normal pace would have added to the film's impact as a whole.
mission and is one of the best of the year.
In the end, "Hacksaw Ridge" does everything a true-to-life war drama should do. It sticks to the facts, is directed with a frighteningly visceral tone and is full of performances
that pay worthy tribute to the men and women depicted in the story. This film is well-worth the price of ad-

UDC fall concert to feature a variety of dance styles
ALYSSA HOEDL @AHoedl
The University Dance Company will perform their fall concert in a variety of dance styles including contemporary, flamenco and hip-hop on Nov. 17 and 18 at the Lied Center.
The UDC has been at the University since the early
1900s, when it was solely a student organization. Now the company is a part of the dance department's curriculum.
"The UDC started out as a club and remains as a student organization, but it is also a course for majors," Michelle Heffner Hayes, professor and chair of the
Department of Dance, said. "It is a huge commitment for the students involved and they give up their free time everyday to get to work with choreographers and get the experience of being in a professional dance company."
Every year, the UDC has guest artists come in and choreograph dance numbers
for its fall and spring concerts.
The two guest choreographers for this semester's concert are Jennifer Weber, founder of the Brooklyn-based hip-hop company Decadedancetheatre, and Ellie Goudie-Averill, an alumna and new faculty member.
Weber's piece, "4," is to

Goudie-Averill's piece is a contemporary piece set to live music by the University's percussion ensemble.
"I am always happy when we have a successful alum come back and give back to the company that made them," Hayes said. "Goudie-Averill worked for many years in New York and Philadelphia and she came back to just give back."
I am always happy when we have a successful alum come back and give back to the company that made them."
Michelle Heffner Hayes Chair of the Department of Dance
Ana Glocker, a junior and president of UDC, has been involved with the group since her freshman year and this fall's concert is her fifth.
"The most rewarding part of being in UDC is the relationships you cultivate with the faculty and other dance-
ers," Glocker said. "We truly are like a little family. The care and support that I feel and see everyday, every rehearsal, makes me so proud to be part of this student organization."
Along with the two works previously mentioned, the other works in the concert include "Ballet sans nom" by dance professor Jerel Hilding. "FLIGHT/SAFE HARBOR" by professors Muriel Cohan and Patrick Suzeau. Hayes' new work "Lo que queda/That which remains..." mixes Flamenco and Latin popular dance and dance instructor Willie Lenoir's "It Ain't Angst," which is a jazz-infused, contemporary work.
Hayes said students should attend the concert because of its high-quality dance.
"Students should come and see the fall concert because of the live music and the range from ballet to hiphop to flamenco to contemporary," Hayes said. "It all is just dance that is really beautiful and the concert will be a full evening full of high-level dance."

Professor's book explores history of Tunisian art
Safia Fahat, a section of ceramic tile in Bir Kassaa.
- COURTNEY BIERMAN

Gerschultz was a graduate student at Emory University when she applied for a grant to study Tunisia's textile history. She spent the summer of 2006 in Tunis, the capital city, doing archival research, meeting with the relatives of prominent artists and documenting various murals, tapestries and other artwork.
Jessica Gerschultz has dedicated her career to a part of art history that is largely overlooked by most of the world. An art historian and assistant professor of African and African-American Studies, Gerschultz studies modern and contemporary art in the Middle East and Northern Africa, focusing on Tunisia. Her book, tentatively titled "Decorative Arts of the Tunisian École," details the struggles of women artists in the Tunisian modern art movement.
Safia Farhat was a Tu-
nisiian artist, intellectual, women's rights activist and the only female member of a group of artists called the École de Tunis. A large component of Gerschultz's research, Farhat is remembered for her contributions to textiles, painting, and other media. Gerschultz said that because she was a Muslim woman who specialized in the decorative arts, her work was often overlooked and her contributions to modern art continue to be undermined or ignored altogether. Her accomplishments were often attributed to her husband's position as a politician.
tieth century to expand the tourism and artisanal industries. Tunisian artists used wool, ceramics, ironwork and other "artisanal materials" and created a sense of artistic community in the country that Gerschultz said hadn't existed previously.
["Tunisian artists] were taught that Tunisians didn't have art history in European art schools," she
said. "There really is a rich history of Tunisian art, of modern art, and those categories really intersect, and that's something that I wanted to recuperate."
"As a woman, she was subjected to this double-marginalization because she was a [Muslim] artist, because her husband was a politician and because she worked with so-called artisanal materials," Gerschultz said.
Gerschultz's colleague Peter Ojiambo is an associate professor of African and African-American Studies. He said Gerschultz has
helped to comprehensively document something on which very little scholarship exists. Although Northern Africa and Islamic culture have longer human histories than the rest of the world, it is common for art history scholarship to focus on European art and other works coming out of the
Tunisia's first president, Habib Bourguiba, mandated the production of many artworks in the mid-twen-
West.
"When you look at Islamic culture, art actually has a long history," Ojiambo said. "The interplay between art and religion is very real. [Gerschultz] brings in that aspect that we rarely see."

SHAUN GOODWIN
@ShaunGoodwin96
During an afternoon game Sunday, the Kansas women's soccer team edged out the Missouri Tigers at home in a 1-0 overtime victory to advance to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
The victory was extra sweet for the Jayhawks, as the Tigers knocked them out at this stage of the tournament in 2014, also at Rock Chalk Park.
When asked about the game being a revenge game, senior midfielder Hanna Kallmaier was quick to respond.
"We definitely got that revenge," she said. "I got a couple of messages from old teammates from two years ago saying 'OK, you've got to beat them for me,' so that was definitely a big revenge game."
Missouri came out of the gates firing in the first half, with the team's first good chance coming just three minutes into the game, when freshman forward Sarah Luebbert ran through on goal. Her drive caused Kansas
goalkeeper Regan Gibbs to come off her line and meet Luebbert midway, making a good save on Luebbert's low shot.
Missouri continued to threaten as the half went on, and Tigers forward Allie Hess hit the crossbar following a cross on the 19th minute.
Just three minutes later, Kansas got its best chance of the game at that point, when Kallmaier headed over the bar off a cross from Kansas defender Addisyn Merrick. This chance seemed to spur the Jayhawks on as they began to take control of the game.
On the 25th minute, Kansas had another good chance, but Missouri goalkeeper Kelsey Dossey denied a low cross shot by Kansas midfielder Grace Hagan.
Full of confidence, Kansas pushed on, creating two more good chances when senior defender Morgan Williams fired over the bar twice in as many minutes, including a beautiful firsttime shot from 25 yards out that sailed just over the top left corner.
Just as the second half started, Missouri came out of the blocks quickly, as midfielder Savannah Trujillo forced Gibbs into a full-stretch save, tipping the ball out for a corner thirty seconds into the half.
For the next 18 minutes, both sides battled for control in the middle of the field, attempting to carve out decent chances with little success. Finally, Kansas forward Lois Heuchan broke the trend with a close shot just following a corner kick.
The best chance of the half came as Merrick picked up the ball in her own box, and with an incredible burst of speed ran up the length of the field, forcing the Missouri goalkeeper into a save which very nearly bobbled over her and into the back of the net.
Heading into the last ten minutes of regulation, Missouri dictated the tempo of the game, yet neither side could break the deadlock as the game headed into overtime.
As both teams began to fatigue, it became harder for them to create

AT A GLANCE
Kansas is coming off a fourpoint overtime loss to No. 11 Indiana and it doesn't get any easier against No. 1 Duke. Duke is without a few key players, but junior Grayson Allen, freshman Frank Jackson and senior Amile Jefferson provide more than enough talent to beat most teams in the country. Kansas' best chance to win is for Josh Jackson to curb Allen's scoring ability and for Kansas' forwards to take advantage of the mismatches that Duke's injury problems present.
If Mason can score and draw fouls at the rate he did against Indiana, Kansas will be hard to stop offensively. It's nice that Mason can consistently threaten a triple-double, but it's even more important in situations like Tuesday for Mason to be able to create opportunities for other players. Mason might not get the same hype as Jackson or even Graham, but he's clearly the player that can push Kansas over the edge in games.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Frank Mason III senior, guard
QUESTION MARK
BRIAN M. BROWN
How will Kansas take advantage of Duke's missing pieces?
Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said that he doesn't expect freshmen Harry Giles, Jayson Tatum or Marques Bolden to be able to play against Kansas. Bolden and Giles figure to major contributors at the forward position while Tatum is an elite guard, who at 6'8" would have a great matchup against Josh Jackson. However, with these three out, Kansas will have a depth advantage that wasn't there against Indiana. Lucas, Bragg, Jackson and freshman forward Udoka Azubuike will even more significantly impact on this game than they did on the opener.
BY THE NUMBERS
27
21 - Josh Jackson only played 27 minutes against Indiana, a minute less than sophomore guard Lagerald Vick. With Jackson's length and defensive strength, the freshman should see a rise in minutes as he gets more comfortable with the college game.
- Kansas' nine steals against Indiana might not stay consistent throughout the season, but if it does, that would be the highest steals per game total since the 2007-08 season.
.304
.304 - Kansas' three point percentage against Indiana. Last season, Kansas averaged .418, which might not carry over this season, but provides hope that Kansas' poor shooting will improve soon.

KANSAS (NO.3,0-1)
STARTING FIVE
SAMSUNG
Frank Mason III, senior, guard
There wasn't much question going into the Indiana game that Mason was the leader of this year's team, but he made it clear on Thursday. Mason played 40 minutes, scored 30 points, grabbed seven rebounds and dished out nine assists. Mason's ability to get to the free-throw line should challenge any opposing guard in the country, making him especially valuable against short-handed teams like Duke.
POLITICAL
ASSOCIATE
★★★★
Devonte' Graham, junior, guard
Devone Graham,junior,guard Graham had a disappointing season opener, but he's still one of the best guards in the conference. Graham shot just .273 in the first game,but his nine free-throw attempts are promising.The junior should still finish this season as one of the team's top three-point shooters, although last game wasn't a great start. Graham's assist numbers should jump this week,as he will most likely try to combat Duke's lack of forward depth with passes inside.
★★★★
YOUNG SMITH
Josh Jackson, freshman, guard
It's easy to label Jackson's debut as a poor performance, but he still managed to pick up six rebounds, a steal, and a block, and the freshman didn't turn the ball over once. He only scored nine points and, although he'll develop into more of an offensive threat as the season progresses, his defensive utility is what fans should be excited about. With two of Duke's best forwards out on Tuesday, Jackson's ability to finish inside might be on full display.
★★★★☆
PETER GILLEN
Carlton Bragg Jr., sophomore, forward Bragg's first game of the season was very hit-or-miss. He scored 12 points on 85.7 percent shooting, making him the most efficient Jayhawk offensively. The downside was that he only played 18 minutes before fouling out. The sophomore also fouled out of his last exhibition game, a trend that is somewhat worrying, although that issue has been fixed with other players in the past.
Carlton Bragg Jr., sophomore, forward
YOU CAN SEE ME HERE.
★★★☆☆
DUKE (NO.1, 1-0)
Landen Lucas, senior, forward
Lucas had a tough defensive job in the Indiana game against Thomas Bryant, although Bryant ended up fouling out, in part because of Lucas. On the other hand, Lucas also fouled out, which hurt what had been a strong game for the other starting forward. Lucas tied for the team lead with seven rebounds and contributed 11 points. Lucas' main role looks to be as a rebounder, although if the senior can come close to replicating this offensive performance, he might be a more indispensable part of this team than previously thought.
★★★☆☆
STARTING FIVE
Luke Kennard, sophomore, guard
Kennard is in his second year as a starter after a freshman campaign in which he averaged 11.8 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game. He's not technically a point guard, but he'll handle the ball quite a bit for Duke. He struggled to shoot the three last year, hitting only 32 percent, but he's started this year stronger in two games, averaging two threes on four tries per game. He's one perimeter shooter Kansas will be tested with.
★★★★★
Grayson Allen,junior,guard
The player of the year favorite who opted out of the NBA Draft last season, Allen will likely be the focus of Kansas' defense. It's likely that Allen will see a mix of Kansas defenders, but it's not likely they'll be able to stop him. His per-40 minutes stats from 2015-16 are absurd: 23.7 points, 5 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.4 steals. And in this game, Allen just might have to play the full 40, or at least close to it, with Duke missing three freshmen. Expect a huge game from Allen.
★★★★
ALEXANDRA MAYER
Matt Jones, senior, guard
Jones will again be a 30-minute player for coach Mike Krzyzewski this year — he just played 37 minutes against Grand Canyon on Saturday. He's struggled from beyond the three-point line so far this season, shooting 28.6 percent in two games, but he's still going to be a major threat from outside, which is where Duke will have to do a lot of its scoring in this game. Offensively, he doesn't flash much, but he's consistent. It'll be interesting to see where Krzyzewski puts Jones in man-to-man defense, as he's probably the team's best perimeter defender, and maybe one of the best in the nation.
★★★★☆
Amile Johnson, senior, forward
This is Jefferson's fifth year at Duke, and he's played at least 21 minutes per game in four of those seasons. Still, he doesn't pose much of a threat for the Kansas defense. Carlton Bragg Jr. should see him on the defensive end, and though Bragg is still figuring things out, Bragg is bigger in height and size. Jefferson is a passable post-man, but where he poses he biggest threat to Kansas is on the boards, as he averaged a double-double last year.
★★☆☆
10
Chase Jeter, sophomore, forward
Chase Jeter, Sophomore, forward Jeter is the closest thing that Duke has to a center in this starting lineup, though he's listed at 230 pounds and may have trouble down low against either Landen Lucas or Udoka Azubuike, who are both bigger than Jeter. Like Jefferson, Jeter could cause some problems down low for Kansas, though, as his best attribute is his rebounding, which creates extra possessions for guys like Allen to get shots up.
★★★☆☆
CHRISTIAN S. HARDY
@ByHardy
AT A GLANCE
Duke's going to have to shoot the three and do it well to win this game. Kennard, Allen and Jones will all be relied upon heavy to create those three-point shots. The Blue Devils aren't going to get much scoring from the inside, especially with Bolden sidelined. Expect coach Mike Krzyzewski to run plenty of four-guard lineups in this game to give his big men some breathers. But, bottom line, if Duke can't hit the three and getting extra possessions, there isn't a clear path to victory with their banged-up team.
PLAYER TO WATCH
ALEXANDER PARKS
Grayson Allen, junior, guard
With Duke playing only six players right now due to the rash of injuries, Allen becomes integral for this team's success. The Blue Devils need him both as the team's leading three-point scorer last year and most important facilitator. He's the lone player on this team that can create shots for himself, but he will especially open up the floor for others. He averaged 36.6 minutes per game last year and hit 41.7 percent of his three-pointers. Duke is probably going to need a lot of Allen to win this game.
Brian: Kansas 78, Duke 80
QUESTION MARK
Will Duke have enough reliable depth without its three marquee freshmen?
The true question mark is whether freshman Harry Giles will be ready to play in this game. He's not expected to, meaning he'll be sideline along with freshmen Jayson Tatum and Marques Bolden. That leaves Duke with six players who will log more than 10 minutes. In the first two games, Jackson has run with the starters when Kryzezewski decides to go with a four-guard lineup, Duke is not deep right now, which could cause a problem if fouls stack up like they did in the Kansas' first game, when the teams combined for 63 fouls and seven players fouled out.
BY THE NUMBERS
32
32 Kansas was called for fouls 32 times in Friday's game against Indiana, and four starters fouled out by the end of the game.
37.3
37. 3 - Duke is shooting an unimpressive 37.3 from three-point range this season through two games. The Blue Devils are 19-of51 from beyond the arc. Indiana shot 48.4 percent from distance on Friday, and the Hoosiers still took overtime to win.
1985
1985 — The last time Kansas and Duke faced off at Madison Square Garden the year was 1985. Coach Mike Krzyzewski was 38 years old and in his fifth year coaching. Duke won, 92-86, to take the preseason NIT title.

@ByHardy
NEW YORK CITY In one moment, Frank Mason III dribbled with his left hand, gathered, then rose up at the elbow over Duke guard Matt Jones, knees bent, feet floating in the air. He landed, entire body clenched.
He said he knew it was going in. That it just felt right. In that moment, with the ball in midair, his body said otherwise. But this is Mason's attempt of the shot - at Madison Square Garden, the "mecca of college basketball," to beat No. 1 Duke.
About a second more beat off the clock, and now Mason is pounding his chest confidently with 1.8 seconds left to play and Kansas up by two points. And he's clenching again, except now it's just the muscles in his arms, accentuating his biceps as he back pedals to play defense.
"That was the exact play that coach drew
up," junior guard Devonte' Graham said after the game.
Even after Jones' half-court prayer missed and Kansas had beat Duke, 77-75, the 5-foot-11 guard never really
smiled. He's been called a pit bull for two years for a few reasons — one of them being that constant, straight-line emotion.
"I'm really big on strong faces and leadership," Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. "And he has as strong a face as there is at that guard spot. He's so stoic about how he looks."
Mason's first game-winning shot of
his career couldn't have come on a much bigger stage - against a No. 1 team, at Madison Square Garden, in New York City, Champions Classic, nationally-televised by the worldwide leader in
sports.
If he wasn't already considered a premier guard in the nation, he certainly will be for the rest of the college basketball season.
"He's a big-time guard," Krzyzewski said. "But he's a big-time winner."
First, it was Mason's three-point play to put Kansas up seven points with 1:54 to play. After playing 18-straight minutes, Mason drove to the lane for a lay-up, then a free-throw. It looked over then, but then Kansas — which made 60.6 percent of its second half shots — couldn't hit a shot and Duke suddenly could.
Then it was Mason in isolation, half-court offense with eight seconds left. Jones in front of him. After hitting a game-tying shot to go to overtime against Indiana on Friday, Mason did it again.

In NYC, Post-it notes buffer reality
CHRISTIAN S. HARDY @ByHardy
NEW YORK CITY Donald J. Trump is the president-elect, and only 10 percent of Manhattan — and no more than than 22 percent in any bordering county — voted for him. At first, it was difficult for much of the city to explain. For the last six days, many of the 8.4 million people in the city have tooiled with trying to accept reality.
"Right now, what I'm staring at is beautiful,"
When it was all settled, the coping - or rather, a confrontation with reality - started.
Protests, rallies tears, accusations and attempts at justification spilled into the streets. Stress, more tears, more rallies. Inside the subway station in the west corner of Union Square, just a few steps away from 16th Street, were Post-it notes. Thousands and thousands of Postit notes transformed the white porcelain-tiled subway wall into a mosaic of words and expressions from the people who passed through this exit to Union Square. Words of hope, togetherness and love.
said Magaly Guerrero, a waitress with dark hair dyed green at the ends. Guerrero wrote on the wall, "In God we trust, love all."
On a Monday afternoon, six days after the election, with every cluster of people hurrying off the train came curiosity. Most people who passed the wall would at least turn their heads inquisitively toward it, but kept walking — very few completely ignored it.
Some stopped, started reading at random and within seconds found a note that they could relate to, or maybe someone they knew could relate to and took a picture. Others posted notes, adding to the expanding forum for those trying to come to grips with a Trump presidency.
The idea for the Post-it note wall — or at least what has helped to spread it — is dubbed "Subway Therapy" by its creator Matthew Chavez, otherwise known by his artist name Levee. His wall is different, organized and maintained by himself in the tunnel between the Sixth Avenue L train and the 14th St. 1-2-3 subway track.

MSG requests 13 University Senate seats
▶ CHANDLER BOESE
@Chandler_Boese
The University's Multicultural Student Government (MSG) group's new request would put them at the same table as Student Senate — literally.
At a Senate Executive meeting Tuesday, representatives from MSG presented their new proposal for being recognized as a governance organization. The organization wants 13 seats at University Senate, the same number of seats currently held by Student Senate representatives.
MSG's struggle for recognition has been going on since November 2015, when the student group Rock Chalk Invisible Hawk demanded a separate, equal governing body for multicultural students, along with other requests for a more equitable University.
At the last full University Senate
Trinity Carpenter the chair of MSG, which is currently a student organization, said the group had talked and decided that motion wasn't really what they wanted.
meeting earlier this month, MSG representatives presented a proposal to create an ad hoc committee within University Senate that would focus on multicultural issues and report to the body.
"A committee, to me at this point, would not fit our purposes," she said. "We don't need to discuss feasibility at Multicultural Student Government, because we're already functioning, so we decided that maybe we didn't present ourselves in a manner that actually articulated what we came to University Senate for."
In their new proposal, which SenEx gave verbal feedback on, MSG wants to be given equal status with the current Student
Senate, which would mean adding 13 seats to the 64-seat body.
Currently, University Senate includes 39 faculty members elected from Faculty Senate,12 staff members elected from Staff Senate,and 13 students elected from Student Senate, according to its code.
"I would hope University governance, in light of the last week, would be willing to take a position of supporting multicultural students," Carpenter said.
Brittany Oleniacz a graduate student on SenEx, said too many student seats might hurt the other groups represented in University
Though SenEx couldn't take any action for or against MSG's motion, some members of the organization expressed concerns with imbalance of student representatives on University Senate and with the relationship between MSG and Student Senate.

"I do agree that you should have a seat at the table," she said, speaking to the MSG representatives.
Iwol
University governance, in light of the last week,would be willing to take a position of supporting multicultural students."
Trinity Carpenter Chair of MSG
"However, increasing the number of students, I'm afraid, would quiet the voices of faculty and staff in University Senate."
In response to these concerns, Carpenter said she would be willing to work with Student Senate to cut down the number of overall student seats.
"We're willing to have that discussion," she
said. "Equality is the main thing here."
Some SenEx members, like faculty representative Pam Fine, for example, asked about what MSG has already pursued within Student Senate.
"The question is, can the existing body open themselves up 'legally' to give students more representation," Fine said.
Carpenter also explained to the SenEx members why getting their voices heard through Student Senate wasn't working. She said multicultural groups have been trying to get Student Senate to be more inclusive for four years.
"It's been attempted numerous, numerous times, but it continues to be a white Greek, patriarchal organization," she said.
MSG's updated proposal will be voted on during the next University Senate meeting Dec.1.

being so close in proximity to each other, really had their trust destabilized and didn't feel that they were part of their community," Chavez said. "I brought materials so people could express themselves non-verbally and peacefully and inclusively."
Then the messages flooded in. He still has a bag full of Post-it notes, and even more stacks litter the table he originally used to hold conversations over.
"The world changes by your example not your opinion," is written on a soft pink note. "We can still choose love,"
on a blue one. "This is not normal!" another pink one said. "Tell your daughter she can still be whatever she wants to be," was written on a white note.
On Monday, one child, who Chavez had met before, came by to help him post notes. His mother looked over his shoulder as he spread the notes down the subway tunnel, sticking them on one-by-one.
"I want him to feel like he's a part of this," Chavez said. The mother turned to him, then looked back at her son.
"He has to be," she replied.
Later, other children stopped with their parents and wrote
notes. One talked about Pokémon with Chavez — his favorite Pokémon, he said, is Blastoise.

"Fear is something that can paralyze people, and stop us from moving forward," Chavez said. "I want them to know that, yes, things happen that destabilize stress. And yes, things happen that cause us to be fearful. But also, yes, overwhelmingly, there's a community
of people that wants to support each other."
To Chavez, what has been lost more than anything in the days after Trump's election is a sense of community.
Chavez doesn't sit in a subway tunnel with stacks of Post-it notes because he thinks it will make people comfortable with Trump as their president, because they will never agree with Trump or because he wants them to. But rather, it's because it can make people feel more at home again despite their future president, and so people don't let their stress fester into hatred or broken relationships.

Breeze Richardson, communications director for the Regents, said the Board took special care in choosing Dillon for the chair, believing he understands the University well enough to steer the committee in the right direction.
As the Kansan reported in October, documents from the Regents indicate that the search will be conducted by a committee of 15 members from faculty, staff and student body of the University.

"We typically offer a place on the committee to the presidents of the University (although that's unique to KU), Student and Faculty Senates," she said. "However, the board is not committed to to the committee members being exclusively from those bodies ... They feel like they do a good job at identifying the people who will be best for these committees."
She said the board plans to vote on approving the membership of the search committee at the December meeting if at all possible.
Concealed carry policies move forward
The University's draft policy for implementing concealed carry on campus was approved by the
governance committee of the Board of Regents at its meeting Wednesday.
The draft policy, which includes measures about guns being holstered and creating restricted access entrances, was released by the University in early October as its response to a 2013 law that will allow concealed carry on all public facilities. Kansas universities have been under an exemption since its passage, but that exemption expires on July 1, 2017.

Policies from each of the six Regents universities were passed by the committee in Wednesday's meeting, and the University's was the only one passed without any suggested amendments.
The University's policy did not generate much
Pottorff talked about the habit of faculty members to require students taking a test to put their possessions, especially bags, in the front or back of the room to guard against cheating. That conflicts with the policy's requirement that all concealed weapons (or the bag which they're in) be in the vicinity of the carrier at all times.
discussion in the governance meeting. One item of note that University general counsel Jim Pottorff highlighted, however, was a provision of the policy that will affect the way students take tests.
"So students will need to either leave their weapons at home or locked up in their car for test days," Pottorff said. "Otherwise, they certainly can carry their weapons as required by law."
Lawyers for the Regents, Wichita State and Kansas will likely look at the issue for its legality, and the committee passed their policy hinging on that approval.
The draft policy will go before the full Board of Regents during the board's December meeting.

How some professors are saving students money
▶ ANGIE BALDELOMAR @KansanNews
Sophia Miller, a senior from Omaha, Neb., said she was happy to learn from her music education professor that she wouldn't have to fork over money for one of two required textbooks for her psychology of music class. The text was available for free online, saving Miller $120.
Miller's professor, Abbey Dvorak, is among a small but growing number of instructors at the University adopting open-source textbooks and other free education. resources from the internet. Dvorak is not only saving students such as Miller money, but she has the potential to improve their academic performance since many students don't buy textbooks because of the expense.
"You have the book for free, so you don't have to share the book or worry about how to get it," Miller said. "It's more accessible and convenient."
The University estimates students spend $1,080 per year on textbooks. Nationally, the estimate is about $1,300. Over the last decade, textbook prices have increased by 82 percent, according to the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition.
The cost of textbooks has significant impact, not only on the debt many students have to accrue to get a degree, but also on their performance in class. One national survey of more than 2,000 students found that 65 percent had opted out of buying a college textbook due to its price, and of those students, 94 percent said they suffered academically. A sample of 76 students at the University echoed the results when Josh Bolick, a scholarly communication librarian, asked students at Anschutz Library last fall to fill out cards about the cost and use of textbooks. Among the comments:
"I don't buy any of my required texts anymore.

Bolick helped spearhead the University's efforts in the past year to use the resources of the Open Textbook Network, a coalition of higher education institutions committed to improving access, affordability and academic success by helping faculty overcome barriers to open textbook adoption. The University joined the network in the summer of 2015.
The University is offering grants of up to $5,000 for professors who want to adopt open-source materials for their students. The grant initiative is modeled after a similar program at Kansas State University, which is also part of the network, Bolick said.
"It takes effort to redesign a class around new material," he said. "We hope that that incentive would be enough to get people to consider it."
Kansas State University started its Open/ Alternative Textbook Initiative in the spring of 2013. In the last three years, more than 40 courses at the university have used open source materials, saving about $2.5 million for approximately 29,000 students, according to K-State's Center for the Advancement of Digital Scholarship.

"The workshop really opened my eyes to how I
might use this book in my class, and in the future, how I might modify it to make it even better for what my needs were for the course and what the students' needs are for the course," Dvorak said.
The move saved her 35 students a total of $4,200. Dvorak said she hoped that by providing a resource for them, students wouldn't
have to make financial choices between buying a textbook or paying for rent or food.
"I realized how difficult it could be for students to do well in a class because they have to pay for a textbook," she said.

Doerr: Class-only political approach dangerous
> JACOB DOERR
@No_Doerr
CW: Racism, Xenophobia, Sexual Assault
I come from a manufacturing family. My grandfather came to Wichita without a college education to work in the Boeing plant. My father, fortunate enough to graduate college, began his career at the same plant. As my dad worked into management, we moved often throughout the rural Midwest and the Rust Belt, from Kearney, Neb. all the way east to Akron, Ohio. In all, five of the six counties that I have called home voted for Donald Trump - four of those with majorities of over 70 percent.
Although my father's work provided me a healthy degree of class privilege, I am no stranger to the economic and class arguments behind
Trump's rise. America has lost 42,400 factories between 2000 and the Great Recession, a third of all facilities that employed more than a thousand people. Driving to the swimming pool in Shenandoah, Iowa, meant passing by the ruins of the old seed companies. Likewise, driving to work through Cuyahoga County, Ohio, meant passing by massive train yards and the burnt-out husks of former factories. Most people in the Midwest have similar experiences and vivid memories of the recent recession.
But focusing on class and economic conditions only partially explains the reasons for Trump's rise in the United States. Naomi Klein, a writer for The Guardian, makes this mistake; she blames neoliberalism as the ultimate reason behind Trump's rise, not racism, which deserves as much and separate blame.
The belief that racism can be improved through economics alone - that it is explicitly a class issue - has haunted liberal thinkers in the past. Liberalism during the Civil Rights area posited that rising wages would
extinguish racial differences in wealth, but that gap never healed and has only increased. This mindset reared its head again during Bernie Sanders' campaign for the White House, during which economics was prioritized beyond an intersectional platform.
An argument to explain Trumpism through economic conditions and issues of class also obscures other reasons for his rise. Those who cast votes for Trump voted for a man who began his campaign decrying undocumented immigrants as "rapists and criminals." In the following months, Trump expressed a desire to halt the inflow of Muslim refugees from Syria and appealed to law and order by courting relationships with Sheriff David Clarke of Milwaukee and the author of stopand-frisk policies, former mayor of New York Rudy Giuliani. To ignore that Trump owes much of his popularity to supporters of law and order (and ardent opponents of the Black Lives Matter movement) amid the largest civil rights protests since the 1960s is to ignore one of the primary reasons for his rise.
But issues of class are important for other reasons too. Think specifically about all the talk heard both in the media and within wealthier white communities lambasting poor, uneducated whites for supporting Trump. On election day, a majority of educated and uneducated white people, and a majority of whites earning more than $50,000 voted for Donald Trump. So much for the supposed dignity of #NeverTrump and the idea that education can somehow meaningfully reduce support for a racist and xenophobic candidate. The figures of a "working-class bigot" or an "uneducated redneck" employed by middle-class and wealthier whites seem to support their own class interests without asking real questions about their complicity in electing Trump.
Certainly, economics and class are important in explaining Trump's rise, but they do not deserve the sole interest of political analysts and commentators. Racism and xenophobia were also instrumental in creating populist support for Trump during his
campaign, and that cannot be erased.
Democrats have failed those belonging to the working class of all intersections by not supporting a living wage and through supporting free trade ventures such as the TPP.
But understanding the reasons for Trump's rise beyond one lens is key for establishing an answer from the left. Focus on class at the expense of race and the left risks repeating the mistakes of the past and normalizing overt racist discourse and violence against marginalized identities. Focus on race at the expense of class and the left risks repeating its mistakes in supporting conservative economic policies over the past three decades, further crushing the disenfranchised of all intersections. Moving forward, and against Trump, requires understanding the reasons for his rise in all their complexities.

Liston: Criticizing U.S. is not un-American
RYAN LISTON
@rliston235
KANSAS
Recently, kneeling
Sitting on a pedestal of privilege can often make it difficult to understand the hardships that less-fortunate people face. From this perch built on systemic advantages, people often hear the criticisms and concerns of oppressed groups, but do not see the issues as reality since the issues do not personally affect them.
during the national anthem has been used to highlight the issue of racial inequality. In response to these protests, some atop the pedestal of privilege have suggested that anyone who has a problem with this systemic imbalance should just leave the country, including Kansas Representative Joe Seiwert and Tomi Lahren, host of "Final Thoughts" on The Blaze.
Seiwert issued his remarks on Facebook, writing "go back to where you claim home," after Denasia Lawrence knelt while singing the national anthem at an NBA preseason game.
Lahren's comments came after San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick knelt before
an NFL game. Addressing Kaepernick, Lahren simply said, "Leave."
Both Seiwert and Lahren claim that their patriotism and pride led them to react in such ways. However, their statements are neither patriotic nor should they be examples of American pride. At the core of the United States Constitution is the idea that people throughout the country can criticize the government without persecution. In fact, such criticism is the foundation for reforming American policy when necessary.
Telling people to leave the country for criticizing it undermines American democracy and encourages strict obedience to the status quo. When
people try to disregard the issues which are ingrained in our society rather than address them, we fail to uphold the "American Dream," which suggests that the United States can be a country for all people.
Progress results from action. Without discussing issues, we cannot make progress toward alleviating them. Just as Martin Luther King Jr. marched and organized protests to spur on the civil rights movement, athletes and activists have begun to kneel to bring the issue of modern-day racial inequality into the spotlight. Those people have decided to kneel because they want to improve the United States. They are the true patriots, not Seiwert or
Whether you agree with those who choose to kneel or not, there is no justification for claiming that they (or anyone for that matter) do not have a place in the United States. Diversity of opinion ought to be encouraged, not diminished. And to those, like myself, who live privileged lives, we cannot allow ourselves to hear only the echoes of such criticisms from the top of the pedestal. Even though the issues may not affect us personally, we must empathize with those who face discrimination and advocate for the elimination of systemic oppression.
Lahren.

Art in Focus: Annika Wooton, speed painter

Senior Annika Wooton said she can't recall where her artistry began, she just had a crayon in her hand is as far back as she could remember; and with a family full of artists, she was fated to follow suit.
From crayon illustrations, she took to painting. In high school, her art was so well known, she was invited to live paint with the school jazz band. The band would play while Wooton painted a picture of a jazz pianist upside down and turned it over at the end.
MARCUS BREWER
As a painter and speed painter, Wooton developed her interest through the Miss Kansas pageant. With a 90-second time limit for the talent portion of the competition, Wooton entertained the idea of taking her talent and condensing it to a 90-second display.
"I thought well, if I can paint a cool picture in eight minutes [with a jazz band] and absolutely no practice, then why can't I do one in 90 seconds with a lot of practice?" Wooton said.
Wooton said her art is inspired by her goal to engage an audience and bring them into a shared experience.
with people makes her unique," Janine Johnson, Wooton's mentor for the Miss Kansas competition, said. "She seems to be able to connect with people of all ages and she does that through her art but she also does that on a personal level as well."
'Her power to connect
For Wooton, that's what art is, an experience. And it's for everyone.

“
"I like the fact that [her art] is so original and I love the fact that everyone can relate to it," Johnson said. "It's exciting when she gets up on stage and she starts to paint, it really grabs your attention. And it's unique. No one else does this on the Miss America stage, no one. And it's just been really fun to watch her take that talent and bring it to the stage."
While painting for Wooton is a relaxing and calming experience, it can also be somewhat stressful, especially when
performing in front of a live audience. During a practice for a Miss Kansas competition, Wooton went through her routine, painting a piece she'd never presented before.
Miranda Anaya/KANSAN
"In my first practice, the whole thing fell over, and yellow paint went all over the stage," Wooton said. "And I could have easily completely broken down and said okay I'm not doing it, let's pick something easier. I could've just dropped out of the competition because that was one of the most terrifying moments in my painting that I've had because I had built up that performance so much and all of my competitors were watching me, and everyone backstage was watching me. It was the first time that I presented this painting and it failed."
Instead of letting herself get discouraged, she quickly cleaned everything up, and told herself to move on. Five hours later, Wooton said she had a stellar performance.
"Her creativity to be able to take her painting and change it every year and as an artist, bringing something new and fresh to the stage each year she
Wooton has brought new pieces and original artwork to the pageant stage every year, but finding inspiration doesn't come easily.
has competed is also very impressive," Johnson said. "And this year included not only the biggest painting she ever did, but it included a costume change, and that was a lot of fun to see her make that part of her talent evolve."
One of Wooton's most memorable paintings was of one she did for Miss Kansas 2016.
"We built this huge easel, this five-by-five-foot panel that spun so that the painting started off as an image of a tornado, and I painted over it, and as it transformed by the end, when I spun it around, it turned into an image of the Emerald City," Wooton said. "I cut and built my own easel, I designed and made my costume, I started in a white dress with a red sash, and when I spun the painting, I also spun myself and I turned into Dorothy. That was the pinnacle of my painting so far, and when I performed it successfully on stage, I have not had a moment that I could compare to how I felt in

Initially pursuing the arts education program at the University, Wooton switched to Illustration after taking a class in that area that she really enjoyed. As far as a career, Wooton plans to continue to follow arts education.
that performance."
"I think that children, they really connect with that in being able to watch someone paint in front of them," Wooton said. "I'll be having a conversation with students about what art means to them and the impact of the arts in the community. I guess my mission is to change the way people think about art and through my speed painting, that generates a conversation that has propelled a lot of creativity in my mind for the youth of Kansas."
For now, Wooton continues to sit in her red, Victorian style reading chair in the art space in her apartment, with her cat at her feet, and "gets work done."

Review: 'Pooter McGraw' play hits home
▶ SAMANTHA SEXTON
@Sambiscuit
Friday night saw the opening of "Pooter McGraw is Not Dead Party," the latest University Theatre show, which was written by Padraic Lillis and directed by Peter Zazzali.
The dramedy sees the reunion of six friends from college after hearing one of their friends, who they haven't seen since graduation, suddenly passed away. What follows is a dialogue-driven story of regret, the fear of growing up and hope for the future.
"I think just about any college student can relate to this story," Zazzali said. "It's about young people trying to figure out their place in the world and realizing that time is slipping by."
One of the main themes Zazzali suggested is the thought that waiting for the future can be dangerous, given the unexpected turns reality can take.
"Every student faces the fear of uncertainty growing up," Zazzali said. "You don't really know what's going to happen and that's not something that you can prepare for."
Ethan Malin, a sophomore from Wamego, echoed that sentiment, and said one of his main takeaways was a look into what it could be like for him and his friends after he graduates.
"Nobody really tells you or prepares you for what's going to happen after college," Malin said. "Seeing the difficulties of that transition is
something that I've never really thought about and I guess a play is a good way to teach that."
The powerful and unapologetic depiction of reality for millennials hitting the workforce and dealing with the pressures of society had some audience members in tears. Victoria Kilkenny, a junior from Shawnee who played Ash, delivered a particularly gut-wrenching performance that, for a moment, left the audience deathly silent.
"Pooter McGraw is Not Dead Party" will be playing at the Crafton-Preyer Theater in Murphy Hall at 7:30 p.m. on Nov.17, 19, and again at 2:30 p.m. on Nov. 20.
"It was a very passionate performance, and I enjoyed when things got a little heated in the second act." Malin said.

Review: 'Arrival' is impactful, realistic science fiction
▶ GUS HUNNINGHAKE @gushunninghake
French-Canadian director Denis Villeneuve has been slowly making a name for himself in Hollywood since the release of "Prisoners" in 2012. This twisted mystery-drama put Villeneuve in the spotlight, showcasing his ability to ground blunt, hard-hitting social and ethical commentary into real-life situations. His 2015 film "Sicario" did more of the same, delivering social commentary on the United States-Mexican border war and presenting it through a completely plausible story. With "Arrival," Villeneuve looks to continue his hot streak by adding in the fantastical idea of alien life, while at the same time keeping his story grounded in real life.
"Arrival" stars Amy Adams as Dr. Louise Banks, a linguist who is called on by the United States government to try and communicate with an alien race that has landed at 12 different spots around the Earth. While she makes slow progress, tensions in other nations begin to rise, making Banks' job of trying to figure out the alien's purpose on Earth harder and
harder to accomplish. With time slowly running out, the idea of a defensive attack on the aliens becomes increasingly likely, making Banks the only buffer to an impending war spread across the world.
The film goes on a surprisingly off-genre track that is void of much action and instead focuses on the dramatic and human aspects of the story. This forces the narrative to unfold at a slow pace. Some viewers may be turned off by this, but the slow burn is important to the story. It allows the characters to envelop themselves into their

situation and also keeps the focus on the human aspects of the narrative. Instead of letting mindless science fiction action and violence take precedence, Villeneuve leaves that to "Independence Day" and sticks to a pace that he deems best, which keeps his themes of the power of language and the effects of loss at the forefront of the story.
and Renner has few character clichés to deal with. This allows for Renner to deliver a well-realized performance that makes him worth getting onscreen attention.
Also worth noting is Jeremy Renner as Ian Donnelly, an astrophysicist hired to assist Banks in learning the alien language. His character is a little underdeveloped, but there is just enough reason for him to be in the film,
Adams delivers a wonderful performance as Dr. Banks. Her role is surprisingly multi-layered, and she does a fine job of portraying the grief and loneliness that her character has to endure, along with the stress she feels in trying to make clear contact with the aliens. This is a rare science fiction film character that is so grounded in realism and human emotion that it's hard to see any acting. Adams feels more like a real person than an actress in a major role. She steals every scene she's in, and the impact of her character resonates long after the film concludes.
The film goes on a surprisingly off-genre track that is void of much action and instead focuses on the dramatic and human aspects of the story. "
From a strictly visual standpoint, this film is beautiful to behold. Villeneuve and cinematographer Bradford Young work together wonderfully to make a film that is visually awe-inspiring. Beautiful wide shots of the grassy fields of Montana where the UFO has landed inhabit the screen in the first act, perfectly setting up the scope of the film and what viewers expect it to encapsulate in its two-hour runtime. Tracking shots and close-ups add to the film's tension, which doesn't let up until the credits finally roll. In addition to this, Villeneuve keeps
the CGI to a minimum on just a $47 million budget. All of these decisions add to the harsh realism not normally seen in a science fiction story.
Although the film's narrative is pretty fluid and clear, there are a lot of questions that arise from certain key revelations made by Banks near the end of the film. Most of these questions have logical answers, but there are some that take much more time to process and figure out. Full attention is required throughout the duration of the film to fully grasp everything that happens, especially in the third act.
Ultimately, "Arrival" is the best example of how something as mythical as science fiction can be grounded in ideas and events that feel wholly human. By the end of the film, its few narrative flaws have little impact on the overarching story as a whole. Adams' impactful dramatic role, Villeneuve's increasingly reliable direction and the pulse-pounding visuals make this story a worthwhile tale to witness.

Kansas football looks to send off seniors on high note

▶ WESLEY DOTSON

IOWA STATE

Kansas coach David Beaty is hoping to send his 25 seniors out on a high note this weekend.
Senior running back Ke'aun Kinner gets pushed out of bounds by Iowa State's Willie Harvey on Nov. 12. The Jayhawks lost 31-24.
Baxter Schanze/KANSAN on Nov. 12, The
Those seniors will play in the final home game of their collegiate career when the team (1-9, 0-7 Big 12) takes on Texas (5-5. 3-4 Big 12) for Senior Day on Saturday.
The Jayhawks haven't had any success in conference play in recent years, as they have lost 19-straight Big 12 games. However, Beaty said he believes his seniors have played a vital role in preparing the team to have more success in the coming seasons.
"I think the big thing for [the seniors], and we've been talking about it from the beginning, is the foundation that we're laying here," Beaty said during his weekly press conference Tuesday. "Regardless whether we were a bowl
team or a team that was still doing foundational work, understanding that each individual day was going to be basically a step in the right direction for the future of our program."
With the leadership of those seniors, Kansas has made some of those strides this season, with competitive losses to TCU, Oklahoma State and Iowa State. Now, the team will be looking for its first Big 12 win in over two years when it hosts Texas.
"They've given us everything that we've asked them to give," Beaty said. "In return, I know the remainder of our team, plus all of our coaches, are going to give them everything we've got to make sure they go out on a winning note."
The Longhorns will serve as a tough task for what has been an improved Kansas defense. Texas running back D'Onta Foreman has been one of the best running backs in the nation and will come in red hot.
"His numbers are just gross," Beaty said. "It's unbelievable what he's done."
Foreman is averaging 179.2 yards per game. He has scored 13 rushing touchdowns and averages 6.7 yards per carry.
Beaty credited an improved Texas offensive line for the Longhorns' success running the football.
"You know, it's not just him," Beaty said.
"Those guys up front are really good now. They put bodies on bodies. There's a lot of plays where they're handing it off to him and he's getting two, three, four, five yards, and then all of a sudden he busts one for 50 or 60 [yards]. They are just consistent."
After a strong start to the season, the Jayhawks now rank eighth in the Big 12 against the rush (225.9 yards per game). In its last three games, Kansas has
given up an average of 282 rushing yards per game.
"Man, [the Longhorns are] talented," Beaty said. "They're good up front. You're going to have to try to stop the run. There's no doubt about it."
As for Kansas' rushing attack, senior running back Ke'aun Kinner has been vital to a revamped Jayhawk offense.
Kinner, who bruised his rib in the loss to Iowa State last week, has averaged 95
rushing yards per game in his last four games after a dreadful start to the season. He turned in his best performance of the season when he ran for 152 yards and a touchdown against the Cyclones.
Kinner was able to practice Monday and is expected to play against the Longhorns.
"I think he's going to be okay," Beaty said. "We really need him to be okay. He ran really well the other night."
It'll be key for Kinner to match Foreman's play if he and any of his 24 other senior teammates want an opportunity to secure their first conference win with Beaty as coach.
"How cool would that be for these guys to get that first Big 12 win in our era on Senior Day here?" Beaty said. "No better day than the next. So let's go."
Kickoff is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. and can be seen nationally on ABC and ESPN2.

and a few months later Bill Self and Kansas basketball captured the fifth national championship in school history. Snook had moved to New York not long before, and he wasn't the only one eager to connect with alumni in the area whose excitement for Kansas sports had hit a boiling point.
"It was really easy to kinda feel like you were still at KU [in fall 2007] because for every game, everybody would come out and be there," Snook said.
Anymore, keeping the KU identity a part of his life takes a little more work. His personal challenge with keeping involved includes a 45-minute trip to Cornerstone from his apartment.
Snook is a fourth-generation Jayhawk, originally from Dallas. The decision to go to KU wasn't a difficult one for him, and he continues to keep KU a part of life in New York City.
"You've got to make the decision that you want to keep the KU connection in your life," Snook said. "I have a lot of friends who live here in New York who went to KU and I don't see them very often because we're all at different places in our lives."
The alumni chapter has a little trouble getting good crowds for Kansas football games, Snook said, although basketball crowds are ever-steady. The Kansas faithful in NYC haven't given up on football, though. Kansas football watch parties were part of the deal with Cornerstone Tavern.

Johnson and Snook both live in Manhattan, so it's easy to keep coming to Cornerstone Tavern. The Kansas alumni community in New York City is split for that rea-
"People would mostly come for the nachos and the bloody marys and KU football would happen to be on," Johnson, who also spent the Jayhawks' Orange Bowl run as a New York resident, said. "It's still fun."

and he has two of the biggest shots of his career to prove it.
What Self says are possibly some of the best intangibles in the nation revealed themselves again on Tuesday night when that shot went through and all eyes turned to the guard who initially committed to Towson as the No. 25 point guard in his class.
"I think NBA is missing the boat on him," Self said. "He doesn't fit the eye test with length and standing height and that kind of stuff. But he's got some things you can't teach."

AT A GLANCE
The Jayhawks faced some adversity in the Champions Classic win against Duke and looked a lot stronger in the second half than they did in Hawaii in a loss to Indiana. Kansas will be ready to dominate against teams like Siena as it moves into the regular nonconference schedule. Now that the tough tests are over, the team has the chance to work together more as a unit and gain experience.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Udoka Azubuike freshman center
The 7-footer is a player Self has high hopes for this season. He has come into the Kansas lineup a little better than expected, having recorded 12 rebounds against Duke. Self said Azubuike could be playing way more minutes in the next few games.
QUESTION MARK
Will Kansas satisfy Self in its rebounding?
The scoring threat for Kansas is so palpable that there's no way Siena can match it. However, Kansas lost the rebounding battle to Division II Washburn in an exhibition game earlier this month. Rebounding is something Kansas needs to get better at, whether Self deploys a small or traditional lineup.
BY THE NUMBERS
34
34 - The backcourt duo of Frank Mason III and Devonte' Graham combined for 34 points Tuesday, almost half of Kansas' points in the game.
7 — Kansas comes into the game ranked No. 7 in the nation. That is sure to go up next Monday as Kansas knocked off No.1 Duke on Tuesday.
7
25. 5 Frank Mason III currently averages 25.5 points per game.
KANSAS (1-1)
STARTING FIVE
ALEXANDER RUBIO
Frank Mason III, senior, guard
Mason has recorded over 20 points in both of Kansas' games so far this season. He's surely one of the best point guards in the nation and proved it with a clutch performance and 21 points Tuesday against Duke. Now that the schedule is going to get a lot easier for Kansas, Mason has the opportunity to build on outstanding performances against top teams in the country. With the easier schedule, Kansas also gets a chance to work on its ball movement, so Mason might be a bigger passing presence than scoring one in this game.
★★★★★
M. M. KUNYA
Devonte' Graham, junior, guard
Mason's sidekick had a good game Tuesday in the win over Duke with 13 points, his first real standout game of the season, with the exhibition games included. Graham doesn't complement Mason's game as much as complete it, because Graham is such a good scorer when other players aren't having success. Look for Graham to connect with Josh Jackson and the forwards in this game because Siena will have trouble guarding the one-two punch of Mason and Graham.
★★★★☆
M. MUZHAKULA
Josh Jackson,freshman,guard
Bill Self has been saying it ever since Jackson stepped on campus: He's as good as advertised. With 15 points in the win on Tuesday, Jackson made a great impression on the national stage. His second-half surge lifted Kansas to defend a lead for most of the first half and it was the first time Jackson played that well. Jackson is a big part in working out the kinks in the Kansas offense. Against some weaker opposition he will make fewer mistakes and gel a lot better with his teammates.
PETER BROWN
★★★★★
SIENA (1-1)
Carlton Bragg Jr., sophomore, forward The biggest thing for Kansas forwards to improve on is foul trouble. In every game so far, Kansas bigs have fouled out much earlier than they should, causing Kansas to play small ball too often. Bragg has shown flashes of being a great scorer this season, but needs to rebound better. Bragg only hauled in five rebounds on Tuesday while being hampered by committing unnecessary fouls.
★★★☆
JUSTIN BADMAN
Landen Lucas, senior, center
Lucas struggled against Duke bigs on Tuesday. When he was taken out after getting into four trouble early, Udoka Azubuike took his place and finished with six points and 12 rebounds. Self may start Azubuike in Lucas' position, but as for now the rocky start for Lucas might only be a bump in the road on the way to a productive 2016-17 season. Expect Lucas and Azubuike to split minutes against Siena.
★★☆☆
STARTING FIVE
SILVER STONE
Marquis Wright, senior, guard
Marquis Wright, senior, guard
Wright is the clear star of the Saints. He played 38 minutes against 2016 NIT Champion George Washington and scored 21 points in a game where Siena almost pulled off the upset. In both games this season, Wright has shot over 50 percent on his three-point attempts. Wright doesn't have a great height advantage over any Kansas guards at 6-foot-1, so it'll be a challenge if and when he's matched up against the taller Kansas guards.
★★★☆☆
14
Khalil Richard, freshman, guard
Richard was the best recruiting pickup for Siena, giving them the 76th-ranked point guard in the class according to ESPN. He wasn't able to accomplish much against an inferior Cornell team and then against George Washington, Richard was held to just two points. Richard has only taken nine shots through his first two college games so unless he starts taking more shots, it's hard to see him punishing Kansas offensively.
★★☆☆
TOMMY HILFIGER
Nico Clareth, sophomore, guard
Clareth gives some much needed guard size to the lineup, but the second-year Baltimore native has struggled shooting with a 31.3 shooting percentage this season. He's had some foul trouble in his first two games, but that should subside as he only averaged 2.5 fouls per game as a freshman with solid playing time. Clareth is a great athlete, but aside from his 21-point game against Duke his freshman year, there's no real evidence he can score at a high level against elite opponents.
★★☆☆
A. K. JONES
Brett Bisping, senior, forward
Bisping's last two seasons at Siena have been a vast improvement over the previous two. Last season Bisping had five games with 18 rebounds and finished with double-digit rebounds 15 times. Against Cornell, Bisping dropped 23 points but only managed five against George Washington. At 6-foot-8, it might be a long night guarding players like Landen Lucas and Udoka Azubuike.
★★☆☆★
PETER JOHN
Javion Ogunyemi, senior, center
Like Bisping, Ogunyemi is a threat to foul out, but he's also a threat to block anything that comes inside. Last season against Quinnipiac, Ogunyemi finished with eight blocks to help boost his 2.1 blocks per game average on the season. He looks to be at a similar pace, having already blocked five shots through two games. He's made half the shots he he's attempted this season and he's not afraid to shoot, which could make him the leading scorer against Kansas.
BRIAN MINI @brianminimum
AT A GLANCE
PLAYER TO WATCH
JEFFREY
After soundly beating Cornell, Siena barely lost to George Washington on Tuesday night. Siena's main source of offense this season has been Marquis Wright, which probably isn't enough to beat teams like Kansas. Siena's youngest players will decide how far this team can go, but if the first couple games are any indication, it might be a long night on Friday.
Khalil Richard freshman guard
With Wright getting most of the attention, can Richard finally step up and deliver? Coach Jimmy Patsos seems determined to get the freshman playing time, which hasn't worked out, even against a team like Cornell. There's not a lot of scoring options on this year's Siena team so Richard will have to develop into one sooner than later.
QUESTION MARK
How will Siena's youngest players react to the challenge?
Aside from Clareth, Siena's freshmen and sophomores have had a tough season. Richard hasn't done anything of note thus far this season and Richmond transfer Khadeem Smithen has been given time, but hasn't produced. There's no question that players like Frank Mason III and Devonte' Graham would give underclassmen trouble, but how will Siena's younger players react to even going against freshmen like Josh Jackson and Udoka Azubuike?
BY THE NUMBERS
★★★☆☆
6 - Siena is averaging six blocks per game, mostly due to Ogunyemi's 2.5 average so far.
0
0 Marquis Wright has yet to turn the ball over this year, a tough task considering he's averaging 38 minutes per game.
1.043
1043 - The number of points Wright has scored in his Siena career. Wright should crack Siena's top 30 career scorers in just a few games.

Jayhawks triumph in upset over No.1 Duke

Senior guard Frank Mason III waves to the crowd after the Jayhawks defeated the Duke Blue Devils in the Champions Classic on Nov. 15.

Missu Minear/KANSAN
NEWYORKCITY- The dribble drives.
Enter senior guard Frank Mason III and his 20th and 21st points of the game, the last points of the game. A floater from about fifteen feet away sealed the deal at Madison Square Garden, 77-75. Duke's full-court prayer as time expired wasn't answered.
drives, the jumpers and the dunks from freshman guard Josh Jackson led to a surge for the Jayhawks in the second half. By the time Jackson fouled out with 15 points, Kansas built a lead as high as 12 points and held onto an advantage of some margin up until the last few seconds.
Mason's outstretched arms started spreading the news to the Kansas fans who cheered Mason off the court as Frank Sinatra's "New York New York" boomed from the speakers at Madison Square Garden. Kansas' first win of the season couldn't have been much bigger.
Kansas' lead disappeared in those seconds, when Duke guard Frank Jackson sank a three with eight seconds left to tie the game at 75-75.
"That was quite a play we called, 'just get out of his way,'" Kansas coach Bill Self said. "Yeah, it's good. He's made a lot of big plays for us. I don't know if he's made game-winners, but he's certainly made a lot of plays."
Behind the wave of
Jackson's outstanding second half, Kansas maintained the lead for but a few seconds in the last 15 minutes during the second half to win the game.
However, it didn't start easy for Kansas' second-half fire-starter Jackson. A cold first half left him with only 4 points and o-of-4 from the free throw line. Jackson made a mental mistake when he knocked the ball out of a Duke player's hands during the first half, earning a technical foul.
It was these types of fouls that kept Jackson from really making the difference Tuesday night.
"The thing about it
is, Josh, without being negative and all." Self said. "He can't let his emotions get the best of him and you know he's a pretty emotional guy and he's got to be able to contain that a little better.
That
That was quite a play we called, just get out of his way."
Bill Self Coach
"If he hadn't got the technical he wouldn't be in foul trouble," Self said. "But for just something silly, you know, knocking the ball out of a guy's hand for no reason."
The breakout performance from Jackson came after Kansas forced Duke into foul trouble. The Blue Devils' dependable big man Amile Jefferson reached four fouls with just under 15 minutes remaining.
"I think that they played out of foul trouble, and we played out of just as much foul trouble," Self said. "Those were makeshift lineups that we really hadn't practiced with all that much."
Shortly after Landen Lucas committed his fourth foul and forced Bill Self to take him out, freshman forward Udoka Azubuike made
a big impression on one of the biggest stages the Jayhawks will play on this regular season. His energy and strength on the floor complemented Jackson's explosion and added to Kansas' lead. Even when Azubuike picked up his fourth foul, he stayed in the game.
"I was really encouraged," Self said. "As he gets more comfortable, I can certainly see [Azubuike's] minutes going way up. He's going to be as important as anyone on our team on how good we can be."
In the first half, the Jayhawks hung in there with the Blue Devils. When undisciplined fouls stopped Kansas from getting in its
rhythm, it was poor shot selection and inability to finish at the rim that let Duke hold a slim lead. The two teams traded buckets toward the end of the second half, and Kansas stopped committing fouls that would have doomed them by the end of the game as they did against Indiana in Hawaii.
"We didn't compete in Hawaii like we did tonight." Self said.
After the loss to Indiana knocked Kansas down to No.7 in the nation, the win over Duke will be a big boost for the team. Kansas returns to Lawrence Friday to take on Siena at Allen Fieldhouse.

Jayhawks in New York City keep allegiance alive

NEW YORK CITY — On the second floor of Cornerstone Tavern on 50th Street and 2nd Avenue, the Kansas alumni crowd began to build. The crimson and blue tablecloths and Jayhawk decorations contrasted the gray streets, the maroon awnings and the black skyscrapers outside.

The crimson and blue were the only things reminiscent of Lawrence at the dimly-lit New York City pub. But for the Kansas alumni club that gathers to watch the Jayhawks for every game, the Cornerstone Tavern is home.
It was Nov. 15, and Kansas was about to face Duke in the Champions Classic matchup at Madison Square Garden, the first time the Jayhawks have played in New York since 2011.
Brandon Snook, a 2005 graduate and board member of the KU alumni chapter in New York City, said he wasn't going. He missed out on buying tickets because he was traveling.
"It's not the end of

Snook moved to New York City after graduate school and works as a freelance opera singer. He graduated from the University with a music degree in fine arts performance.
You can very easily kind of just develop those connections."

Johnson, a 2006 graduate with a degree in architecture, said being a Jayhawk has permeated nearly every part of her life. When she moved to New York City after one year living and working in Kansas City, she got a room in Harlem with
"Kellie is a longtime regular of ours and she just told us, 'If you play KU, I'll bring the people,'" Cornerstone Tavern manager Agnese
Mattia said. "And she did and we did."
Since so many people emigrate to New York City, bars hosting alumni clubs from schools all over the country to watch sporting events is nothing out of the ordinary. Cornerstone is also home to a group of University of Florida alumni, who host Florida football watch parties.

"This city is totally just about networking in general, and so when you have that common denominator of KU, or Big 12 or Midwest, it doesn't just need to be one thing, you can very easily kind of just develop those connections," Johnson said.
The group has been meeting at Cornerstone Tavern for five years. There used to be a big inflatable Jayhawk on the roof of the bar, Johnson said, but it "took something to the jugular" during a windstorm.
Most of her friends, Johnson said, are Kansas grads who she hangs out with at Cornerstone Tavern for alumni events like basketball and football watch parties. She helped bring these events to Cornerstone Tavern, and lived across the street from it when the alumni chapter made it its official bar.

That involved getting in touch with the management at Cornerstone Tavern and working out a deal for specials and scheduled watch parties.
"No one sells inflatable mascots anymore so we can't get any of those," Johnson said.
When Snook first got to New York City in fall 2007 and involved himself in the alumni chapter, garnering excitement for the Jayhawks wasn't very difficult.

Following the election of Donald Trump, thousands of Americans, including Lawrence residents, took to the streets to protest. But is it enough to create change?

@lara_korte
n the days after the election, people poured into the streets.
In some places, they came out by thousands: droves of people with signs, bullhorns and flags. From major coastal cities like New York and Portland to the heartland metropolises of Kansas City and Chicago, the American people, horrified at the election of Donald Trump, raised a ruckus.
But with the protests came disapproval.
At the Nov. 12 protest in Lawrence, some bystanders joined in or clapped along with the rhythmic chants, but others just watched — with looks of incredulity and disgust on their faces.
"I just think this is spreading hate," said Jackson Brungardt, a local high school student who happened to encounter the protestors. "And it's a bit ignorant as the way I see it."
TOOLS FOR DEMOCRACY
Although not everyone has agreed with the consequential uproar following the election, public assembly and dissent are constitutional rights, and according to David Farber, "as American as cherry pie."
"Goes all the way back to the beginning," said Farber, a history professor at the University who studies political culture and social change movements. "It was so important to the founding fathers that it's enshrined in our constitution."
More than just a fundamental pillar of the country, Farber said protest is a democratic tool, just like voting. However, he said it's only a small part of making a change.
"The purpose of that kind of street protest is to show other Americans that you're not happy with the political climate. It's to show your friends, your colleagues, your peers that you think something needs to be done." Farber said. "But if that's where things end, it's not very

"It was so"
important to the founding fathers that it's enshrined in our constitution."
David Farber
History professor
It's hard to turn feelings into concrete action, Farber said, but a public display of dissent can be a good starting place.
"We live in a democracy in which most people never act politically, most people don't even usually vote," Farber said. "So to move from apathy to concern is
not an easy thing for most people, so most people need ways and means to do that."
If the first step is public display, Farber said, the next is organization.
The Vietnam era, in particular, was a catalyst for many student demonstrations. In 1970, a firebomb set the Kansas Union ablaze, resulting in $1 million worth of damage. In July of that year, a black student, Rick "Tiger" Dowdell, was shot and killed by police in downtown Lawrence, resulting in several days of conflict between civil rights protestors and law enforcement.
HOMEGROWN ACTIVISM
The University is no stranger to protests, sit-ins or activism, according to KU History.

Resolutions support undocumented students
- ELLE CLOUSE
@elle_clouse
Three resolutions regarding undocumented immigrants were passed during Full Senate on Wednesday evening, along with a resolution requesting the support U.S. Representative Lynn Jerkins.
Abdoulie Njai director of diversity and inclusion, said that the idea for the three resolutions stemmed from a recent meeting.
"During our last board of advisors meeting we had a representative from KU Dreamers, which is an organization that supports undocumented students, they came and told us about their experiences and
concerns that they have with the University, and we started to look into that," Njai said.
Communications Director Connor Birzer said the resolutions were generated quickly because of the recent presidential election.
"It was kind of a time-sensitive issue with everything with the election going on, so those were generated in the last few days," Birzer said.
Birzer said the first resolution is a call for solidarity among the University, while the second is a call to action for the Kansas legislature, and also a "thank you" for providing in-state tuition for u n d o c u m e n t e d
immigrants, under certain qualifications.
"What that resolution did was not only thank them for that, because it's actually pretty progressive," Birzer said. "But we also implore them to go further. Because they're given in-state tuition rates, they actually aren't given the ability to get financial aid."
DOLL
Baxter Schanze/KANSAN Alejandra Garcia Brenes, president of KU Dreamers, speaks on Nov. 16 about a resolution to protect undocumented students.
The third resolution asks that Lawrence becomes a sanctuary city, according to Birzer.
All three resolutions passed, along with a resolution for a national revenue-neutral fee and dividend policy, which will support bipartisan action on climate change.
Student Environmental Advisory Board
Chair Tomas Green advocated for the resolution, which urged Jenkins to support the initiative by joining the Bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus.
The caucus is a bipartisan effort within the U.S. House of Representatives to explore governmental
options regarding climate change, according to its website.
according to its website. "It's something that we believe really can have bipartisan support," Green said. "This would hopefully build a stepping stone to getting her onto that committee."
International Student Services holds march
▶ HAILEY DIXON
@_Hailey_Dixon
Jayhawk Boulevard was flooded with over 200 people marching in solidarity with international students Friday afternoon. The march started out at the Sabatini Multicultural Resource Center at 2 p.m. and ended at Wescoe Beach.
"It was a people movement." he said.
With it being International Education week, Olcese said that he wanted to gather people to walk across campus to make a silent statement. He said that ISS wanted to thank the volunteers for stepping up, as it meant a lot to both the department and international students.
Sanjay Parashar, a senior from Overland Park, said that he wants students, including international students, to know that there are people that care for them on campus.
For some like senior Trinity Carpenter, the march is only part of the solution to a wider problem she believes the University should address.
Olcese said the department recruited student volunteers to walk other students to class. It grew from 200 volunteers to 702 volunteers in less than a week, according to Olcese.
"I hope as a student, if you feel afraid, you can always reach out to the KU community," he said.
Olceese said that many students were reaching out to the ISS office with fears of walking on campus and going to class following the controversial election of Donald Trump.
"Walking to Wescoe does not translate to the needs of these students, or any marginalized students, on this campus at this time," Carpenter said. "I need [the University] to take a, not just a position, a strong position in favor of marginalized students right now."
The march was arranged by the Office of Study Abroad and the Office of International Programs, Melody Stratton, outreach coordinator of the Office of Study Abroad, said in an email. The International Student Services office also helped, Charles Olcese, director of ISS, said.

FROM PROTESTS
PAGE 1
Leffel described the campus as one of uncertainty and conflict.
"In this explosive atmosphere there was almost no room for rational thought or action," Leffel wrote. "Everyone was concerned but little was being done to stabilize the situation for the long term improvement of the university structure. Students were ready to act and wanting to act but did not have a structure or vehicle through which to express themselves and act out their concern in a balanced, responsible way."
BELIEVE IN THE WORLD
Leffel, along with four other friends, created the "Phantom Five," an anonymous group that over the next several years would work to address University students' concerns.
"Protest, demonstrations, rallyes: this is how we make this country move forward," Leffel said. "We must be active."
Rusty Leffel is now an attorney and lives with his wife in Mission Hills, Kan. Now, he travels around the country capturing urban life, including public protests. In 2011 he photographed the Occupy Portland Movement, and just this past week was at a rally in Kansas City to protest Donald Trump.
The group went onto be known as Students Concerned About Higher Education. Among their many activities, the Concerned Students sent out questionnaires to Student Senate candidates, published full-page ads in the Kansan and handed out flyers at football games.
"We worked behind the scenes as a type of student-citizen action group," Leffel's letter read. "Whenever we met we would begin by asking just what were the problems facing our school and what could we, as five ordinary individuals, do about it."
Protests are an effective American tradition, Leffel said. They can get attention, but more importantly, they are platforms for organizing change.
Students protest the Vietnam War in South Park in 1970.
"There's just a whole wide range of things to do where you can speak out and participate and you need to do it," Leffel said. "And certainly getting a sign and going to an assembly is just one piece of it, but it's just too narrow, you need to do more."
'YOU HAVE TO DO WORK, AND NO ONE WANTS TO DO WORK'
Assembly is necessary, when it's trying to accomplish something.

But if there isn't a purpose, if there isn't a goal to a public protest, Carpenter said she really doesn't see the point.
"What I don't like is if we are showing up to something and not asking to put things on the line to get that accomplished."
At least, that's how Trinity Carpenter sees it.
Not everyone is willing to do the hard work, Carpenter said. Not everyone is willing to go beyond the
Carpenter, a senior in the School of Social Welfare is a well-known voice around campus. On any given day, she is pulled into administrative meetings, student meetings, and constantly sending letters and information, trying to advocate for social justice.
"As a person of color, I know why we demonstrate, and it's because historically those avenues and those procedures have never served us, they don't work for us like they do our counterparts," she said. "So direct action and disrupting spaces has served us, it has forced institutions, administration and even city commission to recognize or move in a direction that we're trying to accomplish."
Sometimes, she said traditional methods of change don't always work.
initial reaction
"Organizing is difficult," Carpenter said. "Because when you organize you have to do work and no one wants to do work."
GETTING BACK UP AGAIN
As they filtered in, they were given two-page packets titled "Action Items & Resources." For the next hour and a half, the group would discuss how to stay informed, where to volunteer time and money, and how to contact legislators.
Twelve days after the election of Donald Trump, over 150 people gathered in the auditorium of the Lawrence Public Library.
"What does it mean to get back up again?" she asked the audience. "It means organizing, it means political action, it means coalition building. That's really important right now, to build our coalition and bring people together."
Over the past week and a half, various groups throughout the country had gathered to protest, to grieve and to process, but now, after being knocked down, it was time to "get back up," as organizer Nancy Hamilton put it.
The time was focused on five main topics: combating hate and increasing inclusiveness, legislative advocacy, healthcare economic equity and environment and energy. Each section gave links names of legislators phone numbers, websites and a list of "5 things you can do now."
Protesting is important, Hamilton said. Expressing feelings are important, but it doesn't always translate into legislative change.
The point, she said, is to do something about it.
"Just take the energy that we see and translate it into meaningful action." Hamilton said.
What's the best way to cause meaningful action? Adina Morse, another co-organizer, said she thinks people should make an effort to be politically involved all the time - not just after an election.
"It's your civic duty, it's your national duty, everybody should be involved all the time," Morse said. "We've gotten into this thing where people say, 'Oh I don't pay attention to politics,' and if you do you're kind of an outlier. I think it should be the other way around — that everybody should pay attention and if you don't you're an outlier because it impacts us all, everything runs downstream."

Lawrence gets input on bike share

In this 2014 file photo, University alumnus Joe Cronmeeyer coordinates the Critical Mass bike ride. The city of Lawrence is gathering input on a bike sharing program.
A new bike share program may be coming to Lawrence soon, which would create more transportation options for residents.
File photo/KANSAN
Ashley Myers, transportation planner for the City of Lawrence, said a study is being conducted across Lawrence and the University campus to see if such a program would be beneficial for the community.
The program would be available for individuals to rent bikes to travel across Lawrence.
"Right now, we are doing a bike share feasibility study, so it's not actually a program," Myers said. "We received a grant from [the Kansas Department of Transportation] to do this study. It started in January and it's going to wrap up in December."
Two surveys were gauged from campus and the community to get responses from individuals on the bike share program.
After the study is evaluated, Myers and the city of Lawrence will decide if the program should be initiated.
"It's a mobility option to give people choices," Myers said.
"I think sometimes cyclists do not necessarily pay attention to stop signs or other things that they are supposed to abide by," Severin said.
Severin said cyclists should follow the same guidelines as car drivers.
For now, students are advised to be safe across the city and on campus when riding bikes. Jeff Severin, director of the Center for Sustainability, said students need to pay special awareness to traffic laws when riding.
"One [guideline] is just making sure that, as a bicyclist, that you are aware that you have to follow all
the same rules that vehicles do," he said.
Severin said bikers should know that riding on the roads is safer than sidewalks, and that wearing a helmet is always important.
flective markers on bikes.
With it getting darker earlier in the day, making sure cyclists are visible to other pedestrians and vehicles is important. Severin said. During darker parts of the day, Severin advises cyclists to wear reflective clothing and remembers suggested organizations, resources and practices to adopt to intact change on a local and, eventually, national scale. The ideas ranged from subscribing to reliable news outlets to volunteering at a food shelter to simply taking a bike to work.
Myers said she encourages students to talk to Student Senate if they really want a bike share program to happen.
"If they talk to their student senators and mention that they're excited about the possibility of a bike share program, and would like Student Senate to work on it, that would be great," Myers said.
The afternoon ended with plans to meet again in the near future and to next time bring a friend.
Although it might have only been a small, community gathering at the local library, Morse said its an important part of making an impact.
"I think it takes things like this," she said. "I think it takes everyday conversations, I think it takes tiny steps everyday."

Alumna Una Nowling talks trans awareness

Una Nowling is a transgender woman who spoke about the gender divide at a Center for Sexuality and Gender Diversity event on Nov. 17.
U na Nowling, a University alumna, was the keynote
speaker for Trans Awareness Week, which was hosted by the Center for Sexuality and Gender Diversity.
"November is trans awareness month, and then this week is trans awareness week," said Chloe Secor, graduate assistant for the Center for Sexuality and Gender Diversity. "And in honor of that, we thought it would be really pertinent to bring a trans speaker to campus."
"Una Nowling is a woman of many, many talents," Secor said.
Nowling is a transgender woman, and shared her experiences of her transition to the audience, both in and out of her workplace, in the STEM field.
Nowling is an engineering consultant at Black & Veatch, and a technical writer, and adjunct professor at UMKC.
She also hosts a radio show called Trans Talk, which airs on every fourth Saturday on 90.1 in Kansas City, Mo.
Nowling shared her background of her
childhood, and into junior high, high school and post-University life. Being a female in engineering she also described the interactions she had at
work before and after her transition.
"[My coworkers] they've told me that they understand that we are a people with an identity,with
a culture, and with human rights," Nowling said. "They say that they now are going to watch out and respect us."
Nowling said she hopes that people everywhere see
transgender people as the person they are.
We're just
We're just average people that want to live, and love, and exist."

"We're just average people that want to live, and love, and exist," Nowling said.
Nowling said she thinks people who want to support the LGBTQ+ community should treat them as the gender each person identifies as, and to use the pronouns that each individual wants to be called.
"[We] just want to be Americans and citizens of the world, [we] just want to be ourselves," Nowling said.
Learning a second language provides multiple advantages

German, English, Czech Italian, French, Korean Spanish and American Sign Language; these are the combined languages spoken by Christian Beer and Tessa Newberry.
In this Kansan file photo, the University Spanish Language Table meets at Henry's Upstairs. Language Tables are programs offered by the School of Languages, Literatures and Cultures that offer the chance to converse in different languages in a relaxed setting.
Although it's not essential to learn all those languages, Beer, an outreach coordinator in the School of Languages; Literatures and Cultures, said learning a language in college provides many benefits, both inside and outside the classroom.
A recent study from the Pew Research Center found that 36 percent of people surveyed believe learning a foreign language is necessary to be successful in the modern workplace.

Beer agreed, and said that no language is better to study than another. However, students should consider their major and career goals when deciding on a second language to learn.
"It depends on what you're here to study at KU," Beer said.
Newberry, a student assistant in the school, said that she although Spanish is beneficial to learn, there are many other languages that are as important.
"Speaking Spanish in the Midwest — and really the U.S. in general — is very practical on a day-to-day basis," Newberry said. "But if you study something, for example Korean, that gives you specialized insight into not only a language of a very productive company
like Samsung, if you own anything from them that's produced in South Korea but it also gives you insights into a culture thats extremely different than ours."
Beer said that if someone is already familiar with two languages, learning a third can be helpful. Although expanding fluency and knowledge of a language already learned is beneficial too, he said.
Beer said he suggests that learning an additional language in college, if someone is already exposed to one, is helpful for students.
Learning pieces of a language on a conversational
level is valued as well, even if a person is not completely fluent, Newberry said.
"Even just four semesters can make world of a difference. A basic understanding of the language and a basic understanding of the culture," Beer said.
Even just four semesters can make a world of a difference."

Learning the culture of foreign languages makes a difference too, according to Beer. He said that it is important to know the language and the environment, as both help a person immerse themselves in the language.
The University has
Newberry said there are also various clubs and organizations to join that can expand knowledge on the language and culture chosen by the student. Studying abroad can also be beneficial when studying a language.
many additional resources for students who want to augment their language courses.
The school houses a foreign language library that offers CDs, tapes and DVDs that students can rent in a variety of languages, according to Beer. Beer said that these resources are a better alternative to using translation systems such as Google.
Beer and Newberry both said that learning a language in college can help a person's professional and personal life on all levels.
"You're really learning a life skill," Beer said.

Bertels: The importance of media scrutiny
► ELLEN BERTELS
@ellenbertels
n all honesty, I did not want to write about the election.
Thousands of people, I kept thinking, have written think pieces. They blame and analyze and clarify and complicate what happened last Tuesday. What could I possibly contribute?
To ignore the issue entirely, though, seemed unfair and apathetic. Now is not the time for voiceless apathy. But neither is it the time for me, decidedly not an expert in the political field, to throw my flimsy beach hat into the ring of political analysis. The people are overloaded with information. No one would read it. Those who did read it might misconstrue or misinterpret my meaning.
Everyone has something to say.
And there's the rub.
In some ways, this critique is the same old song and dance: We consume media constantly, often
without critical analysis. On a small scale, this pattern provides concerning results.
I have seen literally dozens of people react to or share posts on Facebook in the last few days without considering the source. At least three of my Facebook friends have shared — quite earnestly — a piece by Andy Horowitz of The New Yorker titled, "Trump Confirms That He Just Googled Obamacare." This piece, as it turns out, is satire.
Similarly, many on Twitter and Facebook have been sharing a map that was touted as being a reflection of the youth vote results, but was really a projection from Oct. 25, nearly two weeks before the election. The map, run by mic.com, depicts all but seven states swinging decisively for Sec. Clinton. According to the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement, actual exit polls show that 55 percent of voters between the ages of 18 and 29 supported Clinton while 37 percent supported
the president-elect.
Now, these are not grave mistakes. In fact, they are easily avoidable. If I know anything about the internet, it is this: not everything on Facebook is true, and fact-checking is easy.
Sometimes, though,
things are not that simple.
Among the dozens of think pieces I have read since Election Day, the most interesting ones criticize the media for what CBS News' Will Rahn calls their, "unbearable smugness." While I do not agree with Rahn's full argument, it seems fair to acknowledge (and criticize) most major media outlets' wrongful confidence in (and poor coverage of) the election's outcome. In many cases, they did not persuade or discuss. Rather, in a case of confirmation bias, most major news sources spoke directly to an audience who already agreed with them.
In the future, in addition to thinking about factual accuracy, we must scrutinize whether the media we
consume is thoughtful or effectively persuasive.
What purpose does snarky disdain play in a person's politics? If the goal is to persuade your opposition, is the rhetoric compelling? If the goal is not to persuade — how else can you mobilize new individuals to a cause and create meaningful ideological change?
66 Wemust
scrutinize whether the media we consume is thoughtful or effectively persuasive."
I think these are not just questions we should ask, but questions we must ask as we continue forward. And I very much believe these are questions we can ask while also denouncing all incidents of hatred, violence and prejudice that we see occurring. If cynicism and "smugness" are frustrating,
acts of hatred and prejudice are inexcusable.
No one is infallible. Like we millennials say, even your fave is problematic. (For instance, I chose to write an opinion article on a digital media platform about people with bad opinions on digital media platforms. That's almost unforgiveable.) But we are all allowed to be wrong occasionally.
At the same time, though information has value. Our words, our sources, the choices we make about how to persuade and convince and empathize - those things matter. We should take care with the way that we use them and take care considering the ideas, individuals and institutions we support.
Most of all, we should take care of each other.

Uri: Finding solace in American politics
▶ IKE URI @ikeUri
Like many Democrats, I woke up on Wednesday, Nov. 9, hoping that the previous night had been a terrible dream. Election Day was a slew of misleading statistics, false hope, disappointment and fear. But a week has passed, and we, as a nation, have had some time to consider what the next four years will bring. Without doubt, the Trump presidency spells out worrying implications. But, though concerning, I remain optimistic about the resilience of the American public. We cannot let this moment interrupt our pursuit for a better democracy and society.
Throughout his campaign, Donald Trump has emphasized values outside of the Republican mainstream. Running as
the "change" candidate bar none, he reiterated themes that were consistently racist, sexist and xenophobic. He advocates for building a wall between Mexico and the United States and for increasing the vetting process for Middle Eastern refugees. Members of the Ku Klux Klan have endorsed him, and Trump has made clear that rape and sexual assault are laughing matters. Trump's policies, it seems, are focused on returning the United States to a 1950s paradise, where white Christian males dominate society.
This is, in many ways, a departure from the Republican Party of the 20th century. Though Trump has compared himself to Ronald Reagan, he exists a world away from the 1980s leader. It is difficult to emphasize the extent to which the rhetoric of the Republican Party has changed. Though Reagan
66
was no liberal and proposed troubling policies, he praised immigrants and famously advocated for the destruction of walls that divided society. Reagan, like Obama and other charismatic American leaders, understood the values that underlie our democracy. Individual liberty inherited in a deep sense of shared community create the America of which many of us dream.
We, as a nation have had some time to consider what the next four years will bring."
Trump's policies, though, are grounded in fear and distrust, scorning data and facts. In response, the left has
looked at his supporters with increasing derision, passing off far-right views as out-of-touch and irrational. While many conservatives are not critically engaging with facts, the left must understand the concerns of half the nation. Conservative America feels forgotten and left behind, and these thoughts, which have grown over the past decade, contributed to our current political situation. The left cannot ignore this trend, because in doing so, we shut off any avenue for dialogue. However, the right must realize that minority groups, throughout the history of the United States, have long internalized the feelings that conservatives are just now discovering.
On Election Night, I decided at 3:00 a.m. that it was time to retreat from discussions on politics, environment and economy. But a week of reflection has
changed this view. President Obama stated in his speech at the Democratic National Convention, "Democracy isn't a spectator sport." We must engage in the public sphere, and, like President Reagan, we must "take inspiration from the past ... [but] live for the future."
Given the political realities of our time, it is important to begin critically examining our present and the events that have created it. We must listen to voices who feel left behind. We must take time to listen and understand in order to begin reconstructing and reconnecting. We cannot stop working to build a more perfect union.

AT A GLANCE
If all goes well, this game should go much smoother for Kansas than the Siena game did one week before. Though UNC Asheville is coming off a conference championship, it shouldn't be able to hang with Kansas in any way like Siena did. What Kansas fans should want to see in this game is Jackson continuing to emerge, getting smarter and staying out of foul trouble, as well as solid production from anyone not named Frank Mason III. These games are for development, and seeing Mason put up 25 won't reveal much about this team.
PLAYER TO WATCH
TREVOR TURK
Lagerald Vick, sophomore, guard
Vick is the true sixth man of this team, and he probably will be all year, barring an injury to one of the three starting guards. He has the best statistical game of his career against Siena, and his quick reactions have benefited Kansas on the boards. But where he still has plenty of room to improve is his perimeter defense, and he often struggles with switches and opens himself up to drives more often than any other Jayhawk. However, he's sure to have a role in every game this year, and may even step into a starting role if Self ever decides to start four guards.
QUESTION MARK
Can UNC Asheville keep Kansas from scoring quick buckets?
UNC Asheville is one of the slowest teams in the country, averaging 69.5 possessions per 40 minutes through its first three games this season. That's 278th in the country, according to Ken Pomeroy. This year, coach Nick McDavitt's team has gone deep into the shot clock, setting up his team's offense aiming to disorient the defense. If Kansas can get quick buckets or get out in transition after UNC Asheville runs its slow-pace offense and rack up easy buckets, this shouldn't be a game.
BY THE NUMBERS
207
- Bill Self has won 207 games in Allen Fieldhouse, making him the winningest coach in the venue. Kansas has won 41 games straight there, as well.
87.3
87. 3 Kansas is averaging 87.3 points per game after three games in 2016-17. The team averaged 81 points per game in 2015-16.
116 Kansas is fourth most efficient offense in the country, per Ken Pomeroy with a 116 adjusted offensive efficiency score.
KANSAS (NO.7)
STARTING FIVE
D. BURTON
Frank Mason III, senior, guard
Frank Mason III, senior, guard Mason quietly led Kansas in scoring on Friday against Siena, just like he's done in every game this season. He's averaging 23 points per game, second in the Big 12. Per 40 minutes, he's averaging 10 more points and 5.5 more field goal attempts than he did in 2015-16. He's struggled from three, but he hasn't needed it yet, as his drive to the basket is one of the best in the country.
★★★★★
TAMMY SMITH
Devonte' Graham, junior, guard
Graham is second in points (14.0) and assists (4.7) per game, behind Mason in both categories. He's still waiting for his breakout performance, but he's consistently been good. He's shot 10-of-19 in the last two games, and he's 9-of-10 from two-point range in those games as well. He got more run at the point in the game against Siena, and he should do more of that against UNC Asheville, assuming Self wants to experiment a bit in these early games.
★★★☆
M. K.
Josh Jackson, freshman, guard
Bill Self showed a bit of frustration with Jackson after the game against Siena, simply because he continues to find himself in foul trouble. He didn't foul out on Friday, but two of his four fouls came on the offensive end, as he came down the lane with a head of steam. Outside the foul trouble, Jackson was near-perfect in the games against Siena and Duke. However, he still hasn't hit 30 minutes in any game, which is something he should be able to do by conference season.
★★★★★
POLICE DEPT.
Carlton Bragg Jr., sophomore, forward Bragg notched his first career double-double on Friday with career highs in points and rebounds. He's fully out of the "funk" that Bill Self said he was in coming into the season, and is becoming a much better rebounder than he was to start the season. It's becoming clear why Bragg stayed for his second year and passed on the NBA, as he's still developing each and every game, but it's clear that he's going to be integral to this Kansas team making a run.
MICHAEL R. SMITH
★★★★☆
Lucas looked better in the game against Siena, working the boards and post moves better than he had in any game prior, and bringing back the defense that was so valuable through the 2016 NCAA tournament. He blocked five shots in the Siena game, a career high, and looked fully recovered from the foot injury that limited him earlier in the year. He's still getting some foul calls that have frustrated him, but it's only a matter of time before he figures that out.
Landen Lucas, senior, forward
UNC ASHEVILLE
★★★☆☆
STARTING FIVE
FANG WENHUI
Kevin Vannatta, junior, guard
+
Vannatta has played a lot of minutes as point guard for UNC Asheville, but has been a cold shooter so far. Vannatta hit two threes in a season-opening loss to VCU, but didn't hit a single shot from beyond the line in 10 attempts over the next two games. If Vannatta can shoot better from three or distribute the ball well, Kansas will have a problem guarding a possible one-two punch of Vannatta and Ahmad Thomas..
★★☆☆☆
GAMES
Ahmad Thomas, junior, guard
Thomas is the all-around leader for UNC Asheville. So far this season, Thomas averages 17 points per game. The junior guard is UNC Asheville's goto guy, and he will be the player most of the scoring will go through against Kansas. Thomas is also the best rebounder on the team, with 15 rebounds already this year. He's the team's top three-point shooter, hitting 7-of-12 this season. Kansas might have some trouble stopping Thomas, especially if he shoots from the perimeter frequently, where Kansas has proven to have trouble defending.
★★★★☆
YOU'RE HONORED FOR YOUR BALLING.
David Robertson, senior, guard
Although Robertson has only hauled in one rebound and scored zero points in two of UNC Asheville's games so far this season, he hasn't played a ton of minutes either. Robertson will start against Kansas, but look for him to split minutes with senior forward Will Weeks or junior guard Raekwon Miller. In the minutes Robertson has played, he hasn't contributed much. Robertson's best game was an eight-point, three-rebound outing in a win over USC Upstate.
MaCio Teague, freshman, guard
★★☆☆☆
Teague is another offensive threat for the Bulldogs. He is second in points per game to Thomas and shoots 40 percent from three. The freshman has been a big boost to the Bulldogs early this season. He completes a UNC Asheville team that considers outside shooting as one of its strengths. With Kansas having trouble defending on the perimeter, Teague is another player who can contribute to exploiting that weakness.
★★☆☆☆
JOHN WILSON
Giacomo Zilli, senior, forward
Zilli has stayed in the starting lineup for the Bulldogs ever since coming off the bench in the first game. He replaced forward Will Weeks and remains the only forward on the floor at one time for UNC Asheville. Production from Zilli since he came into the lineup has been steady, with five points in his first game and eight in his second. The strength for Zilli appears to be his ability to play as more of a "glue" player in this UNC Asheville team, with the other players carrying the bulk of the scoring.
★★☆☆

ATA GLANCE
UNC Asheville is going to struggle with the size of Kansas at just about every position on the floor, and the Bulldogs don't have the depth to get into foul trouble. It also seems likely that Kansas will be able to get out in transition and score easy baskets against this slow, methodical offense. The only way the Bulldogs should be able to hang in this game is by limiting the Jayhawks' transition points and tiring out Kansas' defense with their offense.
PLAYER TO WATCH
MESQUILLE
Ahmad Thomas, junior, guard
Thomas has built his reputation as a pest on defense. In four games this year, he's averaged 2.7 steals per game, and he averaged 2.1 steals per game last season. He finished with 71 steals to lead the Big South conference and was second in Big South defensive of the year voting. He's got good length that really shows when he's playing mid-major teams, and he has a 6-foot-3, 215-pounds frame that allows him to defend just about any guard he sees. He's UNC Asheville's top scorer through four games, is probably the most dangerous player on this squad, and is playing 35 minutes per game.
QUESTION MARK
Will the Bulldogs be able to get any production from inside the paint?
The biggest men on this Bulldogs team come in at 6-foot-9. One is a freshman who was only seriously recruited by one big school — Georgia and the other is a senior from Italy who is averaging four rebounds per game in 18 minutes this season. It'd be a shock to see those two along with any other of the team's forwards - get any production against the Jayhawks' frontceat of Carlton Bragg Jr., Landen Lucas and especially Udoka Azubuike. The best thing the Bulldogs will be able to do from the lane is drive and dish.
BY THE NUMBERS
17 Ahmad Thomas is leading the Bulldogs in scoring, averaging 17 points per game in four games.
4
4 — The Bulldogs have made the NCAA tournament four times, three times as a 16-seed and once in 2016 — as a 15-seed.
58.6
58. 6 — UNC Asheville lost 58.6 percent of its scoring from 2016, either to transfers or graduation.

Class creates 'HOT SPOT' at Chalmers
► OMAR SANCHEZ

During a regular weekday on a hectic schedule, students may find it hard to set out a time or place for peaceful reflection. Student artists working in expanded media aim to change that with "HOT SPOT,"a new interactive exhibition at the Art and Design Gallery in Chalmers Hall.
"We were interested in something that was modular just because it is something that can grow," Olivia Hernandez, a senior visual arts student involved with the exhibition, said. "There's something really beautiful about organized repetition and synchronicity. I think especially in these very uncertain times, I think having a sense of order and repetition just as a concept is very nothing."
The exhibition features a circular labyrinth laid out across the gallery floor, taking one through the vibrant colors and laser-cut modules that encompass the space. Together eight graduate and undergraduate
students took part in the creation process as a part of the installation art class offered at the University.
There's something really beautiful about organized repetition and synchronicity."
Olivia Hernandez Senior visual arts student
The course is led by Associate Professor Maria Velasco. She said
the inspiration for the almost butterfly-shaped path was to invite those in the University community to take a break from their lives and explore the space's possibilities.
"We were just fantasizing immediately about it being a hotspot," she said. "What if the space was so beautiful that people would want to come here just to be, or to check their phones or rest.To cut off from other worries or classes."
Steps taken throughout the semester to accomplish this feat included delegating
tasks with the strengths of each individual artist.
Hernandez, a Miami native, said this aspect of coming together and working as a team brought out the best that the work could be.
"I think it's just important when you're working with a group to have each member setting each other for success," she said. "Now it has all come together really well and we've really found our stride as a group. I'm really proud of the work we made together."
In the process of creating the exhibition, one of the most
important aspects Hernandez said was the right color palette, a specifically chosen scheme meant to energize those who walk through it.
The "HOT SPOT" exhibition will run through Dec. 7 and is open Monday through Wednesday 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Thursday 8:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and Sunday 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
"Color as an elemental symbol and object or concept is very powerful. You hear about color therapy and how you can generate certain strength from palettes and again the fact that we didn't end up choosing a monochromatic palette, that we went for something lively, vibrant and enriching is perfect for it," she said.
Those who choose to visit during its run will see the array of colors, which include a variety of purples, oranges, and reds. All complement each other in a way that brings it together as a whole and will magnetize those who walk past it, Velasco said.

'Fantastic Beasts' is exhilarating fun
▶ CAMERON McGOUGH @cammcgough
"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" marks the "Harry Potter" series author J.K. Rowling's debut screenplay, and is a descent deeper into her world of magic. Set in 1920s New York City, the film introduces a new set of characters and circumstances 70 years prior to the events of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone."
Magizoologist Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) travels to America on business concerning a rare magical beast. After crossing paths with aspiring bakery owner Jacob Kowalski (Dan Fogler), a number of magical creatures escape from Scamander's enchanted briefcase and wreak havoc on the
streets of the Big Apple. In order to return them back to his care, Scamander teams up with Kowalski and American witch sisters Porpentina (Katherine Waterston) and Queenie (Alison Sudol). Unbeknownst to the wizarding community, a sinister threat looms over New York City that poses an even greater risk to the magical and non-magical population than Scamander's creatures. "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" is exhilarating, hilarious and incredibly fun with just the right amount of "Harry Potter" heart.
Certain films within the same vein as "Fantastic Beasts," such as "The Hobbit" trilogy, tend to succeed to a similar method of cramming too much into one film. Unfortunately, this
is somewhat of an issue in "Fantastic Beasts," though it does little to derail any momentum. Three separate subplot points - two of which appear to be utilized for the posterity of the next four films in the franchise - contribute to an oversaturation of story. In addition to the main conflict of Scamander's quest to wrangle up his rogue magical creatures, the film takes a look at witch hunters (known as the Second Salemers), the Magicial Congress of the United States (MACUSA) and Gellert Grindewald, an evil wizard briefly mentioned in the Potter films who practiced dark magic before Voldemort made it posh. In the end, diehard "Harry Potter" fans will relish Rowling's vision. For first-timers or casual viewers of the
fantasy genre, "Fantastic Beasts" may be too overwhelming and eventful. Nonetheless, "Fantastic Beasts" delivers an impressive story that boasts moments of humor and levity that mix well with darker subject matter. Dazzling special effects showcase a much larger scope of magic than the "Potter" films, and the dive into the lore of this universe could make any fan giddy.
Rowling has managed to return to the world of "Harry Potter" without damaging the sacredness of the original films, unlike some creative minds of the past. George Lucas, for example, became universally admired in the 70s as the man who created the groundbreaking world of "Star Wars." Three movies and millions of satisfied fans made the trilogy an
indestructible brand. After nearly two decades without a new "Star Wars" film, it seemed as though Lucas put his beloved universe away for good. But by 1999, a "Star Wars" prequel film was out in theaters, aiming to satisfy even more fans. Subsequently, many turned on Lucas and dismissed the film as inferior to the originals. This is quite similar to what Rowling had going against her when she decided to return to the wizarding world that she created in the 90s and helped bring to life on the big screen in 2001. Fortunately for Rowling, her story will be much different than Lucas', as she has managed to avoid the sticky traps he fell into. Perhaps Felix Felicis is at play.

MUSIC IN FOCUS
University a capella group Genuine Imitation brings together students through a common love of music.
Savanna Smith/KANSAN
Genuine Imitation offers a unique musical experience
▶ SAVANNA SMITH
@SgvSmith27
The University's a cappella group, Genuine Imitation, offers more depth than meets the eye. It involves a diverse group of students with different backgrounds and interests all brought together by a common love for music. Its instrument-free sound showcases individual voices and their abilities to create music solely with vocals.
of the music is pop. This includes recent adaptations of "Telephone" by Lady Gaga and "Kaleidoscope Heart" by Sara Bareilles.
The group performs around Lawrence and the Kansas City area. Its most recent performance was at Rock Chalk Shabbat. The main yearly event for the group is the Varsity Vocals International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella (ICCA) in the spring.
we are only failing ourselves and each other," Chestnut said. "It's just really exciting. It's this huge bonding experience."
["A cappella] is a different style. You get to make it more personalized to your group," said Jaden Nussbaum, a sophomore from Rose Hill. "It's people making the entire arrangement with their mouths. That is something that will be permanently unique about a cappella that you can't really find anywhere else."
A lot of us would have never met each other. Our paths would have never crossed, but when the music starts, all the differences are just abolished," Chestnut said. "It makes us stronger that we're different."
Ben Schenberg, a sophomore from Chesterfield, Mo., said Genuine Imitation offers a unique and expressive outlet from daily life.
"I think for me, the best
thing about being in [Genuine Imitation] is that, as an engineer, I don't have a lot of time to do the things that make me really happy," Schenberg said. "It kind of gives me an outlet to express myself when I'm doing so much math all day. I feel like I'd go crazy if I didn't have things like Genuine Imitation."
For the group's older members such as Chestnut,
Genuine Imitation plays an important role in a fulfilling college experience.
"It's [Genuine Imitation] just continuing my love for music in college in such an uplifting environment," Chestnut said. "I love being surrounded by different communities. That's what's special to me about this music group."
"A cappella is different because it is all produced by people. It's different voices coming together to emulate what you hear on the radio, and to me that is very exciting," Regan said. "A lot of the things we sing are 'ding ding ding ding do do do do' — just nonsense words. You're hearing a person interpret what that song is through their own voice, rather than just an instrument."
The group is completely self-funded and student-run, and pieces are all arranged with input from director Micha Cox. According to Regan, the main focus
"When the music starts, all the differences are just abolished."
Madeline Chestnut Assistant music director
The group prepares intensively in preparation for the event, according to assistant music director Madeline Chestnut. Chestnut said she takes fewer credit hours during the spring as well as going on vocal rest.
"We have to work together. We're working toward a common goal, and if we fail,
"I think the most unique thing about a capella, especially at KU, is that we are all so different. We are involved in different things. We have different interests, different backgrounds and different views on life. We have so many differences, but we all share a common love for music. I think it's so beautiful. It's a lot more fluid. Different opinions are encouraged," Chestnut said.
The group's social differences are a main part of what makes Genuine Imitation distinctive, according to Chestnut.
"I think it's really cool."

Nineteen yards. That was the difference between the Jayhawks and their first victory against the Texas Longhorns since 1938. On first down and 19 yards to go in the fourth quarter, redshirt freshman quarterback Carter Stanley lobbed the ball into double coverage in the corner of the end zone.
It was at that moment, on offense, that sophomore wide receiver Steven Sims Jr. made the biggest defensive play of the game — maybe of the season, and probably of David Beaty's coaching career.
With two Longhorns draped all over him, Sims was seemingly outmatched, but he broke up an interception, pulling the ball out of Texas
sophomore cornerback Kris Boyd's grasp.
"Good break up, you saved the game," Sims said. "That's what they kept saying to me. 'You saved the game, you saved the game.'"
Down 21-18 with less than 10 seconds to go, coach David Beaty took no chances and sent senior kicker Matthew Wyman out to push the game into overtime. The kick was good.
In their 24-21 victory over the Longhorns on Senior Night, the Jayhawks found themselves making the big plays that they have been missing all season long, and in the most important of moments.
confident look to them."
"I could tell that they had a different look in their eye today," Beaty said. "I just could tell. They believed, and not that they don't always believe, but they had a very
To start overtime, it was a freshman that sealed the deal. When Texas freshman quarterback Shane Buechele lofted up a pass, Beaty saw freshman safety Mike Lee's eyes light up.
Every week there is a ton of students in that student section, and as a coach you keep thinking 'you know, are these kids going to continue to do that?' And they did."

score to win the game, but the team could already feel the victory.
It was his moment, and he intercepted the ball and ran it to the Texas 40-yard line. The Jayhawks still needed to
"I really thought the game was over once he picked it, but I forgot we had to score points too," Sims said with a chuckle. "I was just like; well we are going to score anyways."
After a couple of run plays up the gut from senior running back Ke'aun Kinner, it was all up to Wyman.
On Oct. 8 against TCU, Wyman had a similar opportunity, and missed. This was something Wyman assured he wouldn't let happen again. His routine and form were perfected in the most important moment.
"When I look up, I f*** up. That's my saying," Wyman said. "That's what I focused on."
The focus paid off, and the Jayhawks upset the Longhorns. To no surprise, the Jayhawk fans rushed the field. Not only was Beaty happy for his seniors on their night, but he also kept in mind the seniors of last year.
"Those guys knew that they were looking straight into the fire last year," Beaty said. "I told them 'If you help us, if you continue to be the great kids that you are, I'll never let you be forgotten.'"
This was the second time the fans have rushed this field this season,but
this night had a much different feeling than the beginning of the season.
"They kept coming. Every week there is a ton of students in that student section, and as a coach you keep thinking 'you know, are these kids going to continue to do that?' Beaty said. "And they did."
Finally, Beaty got his long-pursued Big 12 victory, and against the historical powerhouse in burnt orange and white.

Kansas clinches share of Big 12 title with home win
Aaron Goldstein/KANSAN Cassie Wait, Taylor Soucie and Maggie Anderson carry the Kansas Jayhawks to a Big 12 conference title. The Jayhawks won the match against Iowa State in five sets on Nov. 19.

Aaron Goldstein/KANSAN
Big 12 Champions.
This is a title Kansas volleyball (25-2, 14-1) has never received before. With a 3-2 win (25-18, 25-18, 13-25, 22-25, 15-9) over Iowa State (16-7, 8-6) on Kansas' senior day, the Jayhawks finally held the trophy it has been longing for.
The win Saturday afternoon solidified at least a share of the title for the Jayhawks, who have one more game remaining, an away match against Baylor. This win also gave coach Ray Bechard his 350th win at Kansas.
Prior to the match, Kansas honored the seniors of Iowa State as well as their own. Senior middle blocker Tayler Soucie also received her award for Big 12 Female Sportsperson of the Year, after recording nine blocks and eight kills. This
was her sixth-straight match with more than six blocks.
After knocking off No. 7 Texas, Iowa State carried its performance over to today's match and was hot on offense. The Cyclones led the beginning of each of the first four sets and dominated Kansas throughout the third set. The Jayhawks eventually regained the lead in each set, with the exception of the third.
"We didn't hit for a good efficiency, they outblocked us, out-dug us," Bechard said. "But much of that is a reflection in
Soucie said she tried to remain humble throughout her four years at Kansas and said she doesn't solely focus on accomplishments.

the third set, when we just didn't really show up at all," Bechard said. "That fifth set was kind of this team in a nutshell for the year. When their backs are to the wall, they respond."
"[I'm] very proud of representing this group
and what they work for," he said. "Sometimes it's not the prettiest volleyball, but nobody outworks us and I think that was on display today."

combined total of nine tie scores and two lead changes, Soucie said she and her team kept a level head in order to bounce back.
"We weren't worried. It was just business," Soucie said. "We knew we had to play our game and that was it."
Senior libero Cassie Wait had 15 digs and two assists. When asked about how the victory on Senior Day felt to her, she said it went beyond the trophy and senior recognition.
"I think it's less about us as a senior class and more about what you can do to promote that Jayhawk name and what it means for the next generation of Jayhawk athletes," she said. "And what it means to wear Kansas across your chest."
Kansas will travel to Waco, Texas on Saturday to attempt to clinch the title outright. First serve is set for 1 p.m.

Kansas volleyball wins Big 12 title outright for first time in program history

Kansas volleyball clinched a share the Big 12 title by defeating Iowa State in five sets on Nov. 19. The Jayhawks clinched the title outright with a win over Baylor Saturday. Aaron Goldstein/KANSAN
The Kansas volleyball team put the cherry on top of its already-sweet season Saturday, as a long, arduous five-set victory over Baylor clinched an outright Big 12 Championship for the Jayhawks.
The match served as the regular season finale for Kansas. Despite clinching at least a share of the title last week with its victory over Iowa State on Senior Day, the team was as motivated as always to get the win and claim it for themselves.
"We don't want to share it with anybody, we want to be outright champion," coach Ray Bechard said following the Iowa State match.
The Jayhawks showed that determination from the start. A gritty, back-and-forth first set went 25-20 in their favor, as they were able to stave off the fierce Baylor attack.
This collision of Kansas' Big 12-best defense and Baylor's offense was the
focus entering the match. Specifically, the Jayhawks would need to contain the Bears' redshirt junior outside hitter Katie Staiger. Entering the match, she led the Big 12 with 5.58 kills per set, good for fourth in the nation as well. For a frame of reference, Kansas' top outside hitter — junior Kelsey Payne — averages just 3.96 kills per set.
The second set started similarly, as the Jayhawks held just a 14-12 lead. It was all Kansas from there, though, as an 11-3 run to close the set made it a 2-0
lead on the match.
While it may have seemed as though the Jayhawks were headed for another three-set sweep, the Bears had different plans. The third set was almost an exact inverse of the second, as a 14-14 tie was broken by an 11-2 Baylor run. The fourth set was more of the same, as a 21-18 Kansas lead dwindled away quickly, and the Bears tied the match at 2-2 with a 25-22 set victory.
Despite having their backs against the wall and every ounce of momentum
swaying against them, the Jayhawks did not relent. In the winner-take-all fifth set, they broke away from an early tie and won 15-9, and thus won the match as well.
This fifth-set success is nothing new for Kansas. Entering the match, the team had played in seven such situations, and won all of them. The ability to close out tight situations like these will be pivotal as the team now transitions into postseason play.

KU Athletics suspends four cheerleaders involved with 'KKK' Snapchat post

Four Kansas cheerleaders have been suspended from performing and are under investigation following their involvement in a photo that allegedly showed support for a white supremacist group.
Lili Gagin, a sophomore from Grayslake, Ill., allegedly posted a picture on her Snapchat story last weekend that showed three young men — all wearing sweaters emblazoned with a large "K" — side by side at a party. The caption on the photo reads "Kkk go trump."

According to Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony, Gagin was the first of the four suspended. The three men — whose names have not yet been released — were suspended later Tuesday morning.
"Unacceptable. She is suspended from cheering pending formal investigation. This behavior won't be tolerated. Will be dealt w/ appropriately," the tweet read. It has since been deleted from the account.

Although she is under investigation, Gagin has
Gagin is still enrolled as a student, according to the University directory. Marchiony said KU Athletics has concluded their own investigation and the case will now be handled by the University's Office of Student Affairs.

@lara_korte
A University student is among the 32 recipients of the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship, as announced by the Rhodes Trust last weekend.
Shegufta Huma is a senior from Bel Aire studying political science. As a Rhodes Scholar, she will travel to Oxford, England to complete a Master of Science in Refugee and Forced Migration Studies, followed by the Master of Public Policy, according to the Rhodes Trust.
During her time at the University, Huma has been very involved on Student Senate. In 2015, she served as vice president of University Senate and helped form Imagine, a Senate coalition focused on advocating for marginalized students.
She has also served as President of the Muslim Student Association and earlier this year was honored as a Woman of Distinction by the Emily Taylor Center for Women and Gender Equity.
According to her Rhodes bio, Huma is dedicated to working toward justice for Muslim immigrants, and dreams "of restoring the United States' role as a destination for vulnerable people seeking refuge and solace for their suffering."

Tips for staying safe while swiping
▶ HAILEY DIXON
@_Hailey_Dixon
When students use online dating websites and applications like Tinder, law enforcement officers recommend they take a few extra safety measures for their personal protection.
According to a study by the Pew Research Center, the number of 18- to 24-year-olds who use online dating has nearly tripled from 10 percent in 2013 to 27 percent in 2015.
Sgt. Amy Rhoads, the Public Affairs Officer for the Lawrence Police Department, said there are many factors that contribute to the safety (or lack thereof) of using Tinder and other sites.
"With any online dating site, I think there is a lot of things you should consider, and social media for that matter," Rhoads said.
For students using these sites, Deputy Chief James Anguiano of the University's Public Safety Office said individuals should always consider checking out a person they talk to online before meeting in person.
"Well I think it's kind of like when you go out in
public, if you don't know somebody, before you start dating them, to get more information about them," Anguiano said.
When creating a profile on a dating website, being vague on public profiles is important for users' safety.

When a couple does decide to meet up for the first time, Anguiano said he advises students to meet potential partners especially if they've only
Rhoads also said it can be beneficial for those on Tinder to tell a family member or friend where a first meeting is taking place.
In addition, keeping a skeptical eye when a person is asking for monetary items is also important.

Why you should care about state finances

CENTRAL DISTRICT DEVELOPMENT
THANK YOU
FOR YOUR PATIENCE
DURING CONSTRUCTION
CLARK
EDGEMOOR

When the University completes construction in the central district next year, those who live, work and study in the new facilities may be paying more money for longer periods of time, because of the state's financial troubles.
Each time the University takes on a new construction project, it takes out more bonds to pay for the project, hinging on approval from the Board of Regents. The quality of bonds the University gets, which will eventually be paid back by members of the University community, are dependent on many factors - including Kansas' poor financial state.

The University pays for many of its construction projections with bonds and loans.
fBeco
because of the state's finances] the bond rating could be lower than it otherwise would have, which then means you pay more on the interest."
Elaine Frisbie Regents' vice president of finance
The agencies that issue these bonds look at the financial health of the University and the financial health of the state they fall under, Elaine Frisbie, the Regents' vice president of finance, said. If either of those entities could have difficulty paying back the bonds, the interest rate on those bonds will likely go up.
That might bode poorly for the University, as
Kansas has faced many financial difficulties over the past 20 years. As the Topeka Capital-Journal reported last month, the state's debt has more than tripled since the late 1990s, a growth of nearly $4 billion. Kansas has also failed to balance its budget for several years. The state is currently looking at a $349 million shortfall for this fiscal year, which won't end until June 2017, the Associated Press reported.
Kansas' financial trouble affects the credit ratings of the universities under it, Frisbie said, causing them to get poorer interest rates on the bonds they take out for construction projects.
"[Because of the state's finances] the bond rating could be lower than it otherwise would have, which then means you pay more on the interest," Frisbie said. "It's just like someone paying a higher credit card interest because your credit rating is this high."
Most of these bonds are paid back through revenue generated by the facilities. For example, the new residence hall being constructed in the University's central district will be paid for with the housing fees of the students who live there.
Essentially, the housing fees of those residents will go up as the University's bond rating goes down — a measure that will change with the state's financial health.
Of course, the interest rates don't rely completely on the state. Bond agencies also look at the
financial health of the universities themselves, Frisbie said. That's good for the University and the people paying into the bonds, as the University has a good record of paying back its bonds.
The University's director of strategic communications, Joe Monaco, said both the internal and external components of the University's finances impact its bond rating, and the University is especially strong on its internal finances.
"KU continues to carry a very good credit rating, due to our overall financial health and history of paying debts in full and on time," he said in an email. "Look-

Do you pay too much for Crunchy Chicken Cheddar Wraps?
POV
Many students utilize on-campus dining options like those in The Underground.

▶ CHANDLER BOESE
@Chandler_Boese
The Crunchy Chicken Cheddar Wrap is one of the most popular and well-known snacks offered on campus, but at $5.50, some students consider it a little pricey.
At Wendy's, the Crunchy Chicken Wrap is $1.99, which is comparable to the snack-size version of KU Dining's wrap at $2.50. However, the specific recipe of the wrap is a Dining original, so an exact comparison is hard to make.
"If they weren't so expensive, I'd have a wrap right now," junior Jamie Hudson said when the Kansan spoke to her in the Underground last week.

There
There are so
many places around where we can get stuff cheaper because we're students, but when we're on actually on campus, we have to pay more."
Items like the wrap are made and sold by the University's dining services at locations like The Underground, The Market or DeBruce Center, which thousands of students take advantage of everyday. These items differ from the ones made at dining halls because students pay for them individually, as opposed to paying a fee for a meal they choose.
Jamie Hudson
Junior
Sometimes a student might pay more than they would for a similar item off-campus, but Assistant Director of Retail Dining Alecia Stultz said Dining tries to keep those prices as low as possible, especially because extra profits don't really benefit them as a non-profit corporation.
Moreover, Stultz said, Dining doesn't get subsidies from the state or University to support its operations, so they rely entirely on what they get in revenue.
"What revenues we do make go right back into our units," she said. "They don't go to pay a contract company, they don't go to pay other things like that."
While student dining plans go through a process of approval before they're charged to students, the food services that most students use, like The Underground, The Market or DeBruce Center, don't have the same amount of input to determine its prices.
Instead, it's a numbers game of balancing prices that the Dining offices are doing almost constantly, Stultz said. Dining looks at what its costs are for delivery, ingredients, staff and more, and then they compare those costs with similar dishes at local restaurants.
"Every year we go out onto the street and we look at our competitors. We look at the closest competitors that we can to the products that we serve," she said. "Although it's really difficult to compare apples to apples, depending on what things are called. For example, a hamburger means five or six different things depending on where you go."
Stultz said its prices are sometimes higher for its on-campus franchises like Chick-Fil-A, because of delivery costs. They also have University-specific menus for places like Brella's, which Stultz said has a lot more flexibility. But in most of the fresh food they sell, she said she feels like Dining is pretty competitive.
For several different products, the on-campus versions do tend to be fairly close to off-campus versions.
At 'Za Pizza, a personal ultimate pizza costs $5.25,
while the Lawrence Pizza Hut sells its personal supreme pizza for $4.79,
according to its website. A medium drip coffee from an on-campus Roasterie would cost a student $2.15,
while FastFoodMenuPrices.com has a medium Caribou Coffee listed as $2.05 for Kansas.
Hudson said she feels like the chicken and pizza are not too bad, but she wishes the drinks and wraps were cheaper.

"It just seems so dumb to me because there are so many places around where we can get stuff cheaper because we're students, but when we're on actually on campus, we have to pay more," she said. "But we're not really going to get off campus for food, so we're kind of stuck with it."
DEBT FROM PAGE2
ing ahead, we and the other Regents universities would of course like to see a more stable state budget situation."
According to Frisbie, the University's total debt service, which includes the ongoing central district constructions, Jayhawker Towers renovations and construction of the new energy and environment building, is about $770 million, the highest of all Regents universities.
The University isn't the only one who continually takes on more debt service, though, Frisbie said. Kansas universities rarely
get direct funding from the legislature for capital improvement, so they must fund it all through bonds. She attributes that to the state budget crisis, as well a less-tangible shift in the statehouse.
This amounts to a large debt among Kansas universities, which has increased more than 1,000 percent since the 1990s, according to the Capital-Journal story.
"It's also partially a change in mindset from our policymakers and where they view their role to be in providing capital for state universities," she said.
sas' finances, is a concern for the Regents, Frisbie said they don't have plans to stop approving universities' bond requests. She said that bonds, or debt, are not necessarily bad in and of itself, and the Regents understand that capital improvements are a high priority for Kansas universities.
"We want to encourage universities to keep making these changes and improvements in their campuses," she said. "We watch things like the state finances and a university's debt really closely and believe that we're still in a good place where it's OK to get these bonds."

Sanchez: Follow passions over obligations
▶ SANDRA SANCHEZ
@sssanchez26
love learning. I've always placed academia above everything else because it seems like my only talent. I can't sing, I can't dance, I don't play sports and I lack many other skills. School has always been natural for me, and I enjoy learning more than just about anything else.
But there's just one problem: I have the nastiest case of procrastination there ever was.
Without deadlines, I am useless. I can count on a single hand the number
of essays I've written more than 48 hours before they were due, I will do homework hours before class and I don't study nearly as often as I should. But this semester, as with every semester before, I'm taking 20 hours of courses. I have three majors and one minor, a student job on campus and a handful of extracurricular activities to distract me from writing my history honors thesis. Most days, I don't return from campus before 9 p.m.
Given my tendency for procrastination, I fear that without the stress of my workload I would simply fall prey to my laziest habits, and any semblance of productivity would be doomed. I am convinced I slack off too much already and need to force myself by way of a ruthless schedule to work hard. I've survived two years doing so, thus, I'll be fine for the next two.
I will never know enough, so I should always be trying to learn new things. If I am not working as much as I can, pushing myself to take as many classes as I can and doing as many activities as possible, I am being lazy.
As college students, we often have outside pressure to push us toward goals. But, of course, the most pressure comes from our own standards and how we perceive ourselves in relation to others. After all, if you can do something to stand out—like take 20 hours every semester—why shouldn't you?
I started to doubt myself this semester. I am no longer happy in school like I once was, and I have concluded that it is because I have subscribed to this compelling philosophy for too long. What was once enjoyable has now become a chore.
Right?
If it doesn't make you
happy, don't do it.
In this, I've finally realized my problem. There is no one pushing me or pulling me from this lifestyle, rather it is the absurd notion that I have a duty to live the most productive life I can. But we have no moral responsibility to our potentials. I used to be a competitive swimmer and my best stroke was butterfly, so my coach would put me in all the races because I could do it. I hated butterfly and hated competing in those races. But I would do it, because it was what I thought I should do.
But we have
But we have no moral responsibility to our potentials."
became an obligation. However, I think if I step back and redefine my priorities - to that which makes me happy and what creates true pleasure in my life - I can love what I do again.
I've lost my love for what was once a passion because it
It is too often that success is falsely equated to skill and ability, not happiness. But we create meaning in our lives because life is confusing and singularly unique to all of us. We should be able to choose what we want to succeed at.
Life is exactly what you make it, so we should remember that we can live as happily as we want to. No one can tell you otherwise.

In his car, in his house and on his clothes: everything my dad owned reeked of cigarette smoke. His teeth were yellow, and he coughed regularly. This was my father when I was younger. Now, he does not smoke at all, and he told me how he finally quit.
Recently, the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department launched the "Freedom From Smoking" program to
incentivize parents to quit smoking by giving them $85 worth of items of their choosing. Parents can either complete an online course or fill out a self-guided workbook (enrollment for a face-to-face class closed on Nov. 16). Additionally, the University plans to be tobacco-free by the fall semester of 2018.
While these steps are helpful, quitting smoking ultimately has to be a personal decision. As a former smoker and a current cardiologist, my father gave me some tips he shares with his patients when they are looking to stop smoking.
When you start on the path to stop smoking,you may be tempted to share the news with those around you. Doing this,however,may lead to people constantly reminding you about the habit
that you are trying to quit, even if those people are simply trying to encourage you. These reminders keep the temptation present in your mind. Also, if you relapse, which is highly common among people trying to quit, talking to people about your addiction may make you feel guilty and ashamed.
"talking to
talking to people about your addiction may make you feel guilty and ashamed."
Picture a mental scale weighing the pros and cons of smoking. You may find that the pleasure you get from smoking is outweighed
by what you do not like about it, such as the smell, higher anxiety or the cost of cigarettes. For my father, the scale was tipped when he saw my sister cry after she found him with a cigarette.
One of the best ways to avoid smoking is to keep yourself busy. When you focus on other tasks, your mind may focus less on the nicotine cravings. Since my father smoked in the car, he began cutting his drives home from work shorter, so he could get home and busy himself with some other activity.
Snapping a rubber band on your wrist can also be an effective mechanism in helping you quit smoking, since it can both associate pain with those cravings and help you recognize patterns in your smoking behavior. By realizing what times of day you
Although the new "Freedom From Smoking" program and the 2018 campus-wide tobacco ban may help some people quit smoking and prevent others from beginning, no one but the individual can truly commit to stop smoking. We must be supportive of those around us who are trying to quit without becoming overbearing. For those 'of you who want to quit: it may take time, and you may relapse, but you can do it.
crave cigarettes most, you can specifically target and work on these trouble areas.

Hundreds of people in gowns and tuxedos climb out of black town cars onto a red carpet. They chat with reporters, pose for photos and sign autographs.Most of them have never appeared in a film or recorded an album.They're not writers or producers—some might argue that they don't do anything at all. They're reality television stars,and it's the night of the fourth annual Reality Television Awards at the Avalon Hollywood nightclub. University alumnus Andrew Ward is one of the event's executive producers.
Ward, who graduated from the University with a business degree in 2006, started the show with his colleague Kristen Moss in 2012. Each had several years of reality casting and production work under their belts on shows such as "Master Chef" and "The Celebrity Apprentice."
More than 300 reality television shows are on the air, but they receive little recognition from professional organizations such as the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. Ward and Moss wanted to honor the stars of reality television and the people behind the camera.
"A lot of people think when they're watching [reality television] that it looks so clean and professional at home," Ward said. "You think they just threw up a camera in a kitchen somewhere and made it happen. You have art department,
you have writers, you have the talent, travel, production, grip, writing - you name it. I think a lot of people don't realize how much it takes to put together."
People don't realize how much it takes to put together."
Andrew Ward University alumnus
Talent producer John Barra is in charge of production on the night of the ceremony. He directs 125 crew members that make sure the presenters are in place and the stars are on time. Despite managing to book more than 700 reality TV stars, Barra said he managed to get every single one to show up.
This year's show aired on Nov.2 and drew more than 15,000 viewers to the live stream on the award show's website.
The show is designed to be a balance between fun and serious. Ward said he wants people to think of the Oscars meeting the MTV Video Music Awards. This year's ceremony included 25 categories, each with five nominees. The winner is chosen by a combination of industry selection and fans' online
voting. A category like "Bad Ass Crew," won by Discovery Channel show "Deadliest Catch," honors the hard, and often dangerous, work of a reality TV production crew, while "Reality Queen," won by Vicki Gunvalson of "The Real Housewives of Orange County," recognizes more visible talent.
The concept of the Reality TV Awards does not escape criticism. Barra said he's been questioned by colleagues about the legitimacy of an awards show that recognizes a genre many consider to be superficial. Barra pointed out that 65 percent of shows on television are reality.

on television right now. Look at what people are doing," he said.
Moss said a lot of shows are technically reality television, not just structured reality series like "Keeping up with the Kardashians" or "Big Brother." Competition shows and most of the programming on HGTV and the Cooking Channel fit into the reality genre as well.
"For all of those people who say reality TV is the downfall of society, I want them to look at their DVR, I want them to look at what they watch weekly, and I guarantee they watch something that is reality TV," she said.
Q&A: Hank Driskill, 'Moana' technical supervisor

CAMERON MCGOUGH @cammcgough
Disney's latest animated film "Moana" will be released on Wednesday. The Kansan got a chance to have a conversation with Hank Driskill, a University alumnus and technical supervisor for the film. Read as he discusses his Kansas beginnings, his work at Disney and "Moana."
Contributed Photo eaters Wednesday
Kansan: How did your Kansas beginnings help prepare you for your career in Hollywood?
Driskill: I went to high school in Gardner, Kansas, which at the time was a small town of 2,000 people, and they didn't have AP classes. Most of the students were kids who were going to go back onto the farm afterwards. Even a good chunk of the students weren't going onto college. So when I hit KU, I was suddenly surrounded by people — really smart people who wanted to teach me all kinds of stuff
- so I became a sponge in college. I was taking a lot of math and physics classes, as well as computer science classes, English, history and Western Civilization. That really built a great foundation for me for coming out into this industry. Computer graphics, at its core, you're drawing pixels on the screen, but what you're doing underneath is a lot of math and physics. On "Moana" alone, one of the big pushes was in water simulation. That is, at its core, physics. Computer
science is the foundation for building the thing, but what you're building, physics and all of that is a big component to solving those problems. I credit my four years at KU a lot for preparing me to come out into this industry.
Driskill: The technical supervisor's job, early on, is to figure out all the nuts and bolts of the "how?" What can we do with tools we already have? What do we need to build new technologies for? Every one of our films is ambitious, and in every one of our films early on we're looking at some points going. "How are we going to do this, again?" So, it's spear-heading all the R&D teams during preproduction, building all
Kansan: What does your role as the technical supervisor for Disney films entail?
the new technologies, and then as we get into the actual making of the movie and we wrap up all the tool development, I become kind of chief fire fighter. We're trying to hold everything together, tying to keep everything moving, trying to keep all the artists productive and get shots finished.
That really built a great foundation for me for coming out into this industry."
Hank Driskill University alumnus
Kansan: Speaking of fire fighting, were there any particularly large fires you had
to put out while working on "Moana?"
Driskill: It was funny. In an early screening, John Lasseter on the story retreat the next day gave a really memorable quote that all of us quoted many times in the months that followed, which was, "Moana' makes 'Big Hero 6' looks like a one-man show.'" The visual effects supervisor, Kyle Odermattecq, and I had just come off of "Big Hero 6," and we were feeling that same thing — that this movie was just tremendously ambitious in what we were trying to pursue. And with each screening, it kept getting bigger. As the story was evolving, it kept having new challenges. The scope and scale kept growing, and we kept being faced by things we didn't know how to do, so we
kept having to invent pipelines and processes to just be able to pull the movie off.
Driskill: This is the first movie I've worked on at Disney where we felt a weight of responsibility early on. One of the fun things about working at Disney is after the movie is out, there's a world. Our movies touch people. Regularly, I go around, and I give talks. For instance, after "Big Hero 6," I had people coming up and talking about what that movie meant to them: how it celebrated STEM, how it showed a future that wasn't dystopian. There were all these positives from the movie after it was released. With this movie, I gave a talk at D23 a year and a half ago, and I had a couple from Hawaii come up and talk to me. They couldn't get two sentences out without tearing up. We felt such a sense of responsibility with this movie, in particular. Because it was celebrating the Pacific Island culture, it was important. Everybody working on it felt that this was an important movie for us to get right and to work really, really hard in creating something special. I'm hopeful that everything we put together, you know, that people see that on the screen and that they feel something special.

KU takes down North Dakota to pick up third win

JARED ANDERSON
@JAnderson_383
n Sunday's game against North Dakota, the Kansas women's basketball team accomplished something that the Jayhawks haven't done since the 2014-15 season: win three consecutive games.
In a match in which clutch shots were plentiful, the Jayhawks defeated the North Dakota Fighting Hawks in overtime, 76-71.
With the game tied 65-65 in the fourth quarter with just seconds left, senior guard Timeka O'Neal waited anxiously for the ball on the perimeter. Ready to shoot at the top of the key, redshirt junior guard Jessica Washington dished the ball to O'Neal, who knocked down a three, sending the game into overtime.
"She stepped up," Washington said of O'Neal. "It's fun watching her step up and hit threes, seeing the bench go crazy. That's what we're about and that's the type of culture we're trying to build here."
Kansas went into the extra period with some momentum, and as a result, made crucial defensive stops and offensive plays. After going down by four points in the beginning of overtime play, O'Neal was able to bring her team within one point after hitting another crucial three.
one team could seemingly not pull away from the other, bench play was key.
In what was one of senior forward Caelynn Manning-Allen's most impressive games to date — notching 14 points and seven rebounds — she made a vital block when the team was up 70-69 in overtime, allowing Kansas to regain possession.
During the battle in which

stands out to me is our bench today." Kansas coach Brandon Schneider said. "I thought that Jayde Christopher, Jada Brown, Caelynn Manning-Allen and obviously Timeka O'Neal provided not only point production off the bench, but really sparked our comeback."
Kansas would score once again, as would North Dakota, bringing the score to 72-71. With just 10.7 seconds remaining in overtime, Washington was fouled on her shot attempt. She would sink both free throws, putting Kansas up 74-71. After another defensive stop, Kansas
controlled the ball and Washington was fouled again with .8 seconds remaining. Her free throws would fall, closing out the game, 76-71.
["Washington] was really the reason why we saw a lot of zone today," Schneider said. "I think they struggled to stay in front of her and she was making plays for teammates, but also scoring the ball."
Washington finished the game with 19 points and four assists.
One of Kansas' biggest stars this season, redshirt sophomore guard McKenzie Calvert, fouled out in the win after scoring six points on 16 percent from the field. After back-to-back 21-point game performances against Memphis and Oral Roberts, Schneider believes that fatigue was the source of her poor play.
"She played 40-plus minutes in the game against Memphis and then turned around and played a whole bunch of minutes in the double-overtime game. I think when you look at her and [Kylee Kopatich], today could have been the result of fatigue, because those guys have played a lot in some tough situations."
kansas will get some rest before they travel to Omaha, Neb., on Wednesday to take on Creighton. Tip-off is at 7 p.m.
After missing last week’s game due to an ankle injury, Payne returned for the Jayhawks and shined. She led the team with 19 kills, and picked up 10 digs and five blocks as well. Freshman outside hitter Jada Burse had 16 kills, and junior middle blocker Tayler Soucie finished with 12 kills on a team-high .357 hitting percentage and had a match-high eight blocks.
The aforementioned need to contain Staiger and the Bears’ attack appeared to have worked. Even though she finished with a match-high 22 kills, Staiger hit just .179 – nearly 100 points shy of her season average (.269).
Baylor as a whole hit .142, well below its season average of .220.
Over the last seven matches we have played five five-setters, but remained resilient enough to win.”
Ray Bechard Coach
As the regular season comes to a close, the Jayhawks finish 26-2 overall and 15-1 in the Big 12. In addition to becoming outright Big 12 Champions, the win sets them up to potentially receive one of the coveted four one-seeds in the upcoming NCAA Tournament. The team was ranked fourth in the most recent American Volleyball Coaches Association poll, and figures to not lose any ground having won.
“We are one true champion as a member of the only power-five conference which plays a double round-robin schedule,” Bechard told the Lawrence Journal-World after the game. “We had to take everybody’s best shot twice. I’m very proud of our team. Over the last seven matches we have played five five-setters, but remained resilient enough to win.”

U unprecedented. That was the word Kansas vol
word Kansas volleyball used frequently to describe its 2015 season. The Jayhawks started off 20-0 before falling to Texas, one of the two teams that brought them their three losses. Kansas went on to make the NCAA Volleyball Tournament for the fourth time in a row and knocked off No.1-seeded USC to advance to the first Final Four in program history.
On Sunday evening, Kansas (26-2) learned its fate for the 2016 NCAA tournament in hopes of continuing the progress the program has made in the last two years. The top four seeds for the NCAA Volleyball Tournament were announced 30 minutes prior to the NCAA Selection Show. It came as a surprise to many when Texas (22-4) came in as the No.4 seed. Nebraska (27-2), Minnesota (25-4) and Wisconsin (25-4) took the top three seeds.
Kansas, who finished the season No. 4 in the AVCA rankings, was left out.
But the Naismith Room of Allen Fieldhouse was full
of excitement when Kansas was announced as the No. 5 seed in the tournament, the highest seeding in program history. Coach Ray Bechard commented on his team's disappointment after being seeded below Texas, which Kansas split the regular-season series with 1-1, but noted that the team is excited
to be hosting the first and second rounds.
"I think our team probably will have to digest that a little bit, but [Texas] played a great pre-conference schedule," Bechard said. "I'll be frank with you, our pre-conference schedule let us down a little bit... We were outright Big 12 champs, I think
that's worth something. But I think they look at all 28-30 matches and that's the way it turned out."
Six of nine teams in the Big 12 conference made the tournament: Kansas, Texas, Kansas State, TCU, Iowa State and Baylor. Kansas, Texas and K-State will be hosting the first two rounds
in their regular home venues.
This is the last chance for three Kansas seniors to clinch the NCAA championship they've been longing for: libero Cassie Wait, middle blocker Tayler Soucie and setter Maggie Anderson.
Wait isn't too upset about
the seeding, but is looking forward more to playing on her home court.
"It's awesome," Wait said. "It's super exciting and just to get to play more games in Horejsi, you know, being a senior that's really special."

The Jayhawks will play Samford (21-13) on Thursday when they host the first round of the tournament in Horejsi Family Athletics Center. Kansas will also host a game between Creighton (26-6) and Northern Iowa (24-9) this week. The Jayhawks will play the winner of that match on Friday at a time to be announced later.
First serve against Samford is set for 6:30 p.m.

The new-look Jayhawks could hardly have looked better as senior guard Frank Mason III tallied another game with 20 or more points. Kansas steamrolled UNC Asheville at Allen Fieldhouse, 95-57.
The backcourt trio of Josh Jackson, Mason and Devonte' Graham remained intact, yet forward Udoka Azubuike and guard Lagerald Vick replaced forwards Landen Lucas and Carlton Bragg Jr.
Following a rough couple of games for the Jayhawks' frontcourt, Bill Self went back to the drawing board for Kansas' game against UNC Asheville Friday night.
"I thought Lagerald and Udoka were two of the big reasons why we played better," Self said after the game, regarding his choice to start Vick and Azubuike. "They both earned the right to get the opportunity."
Vick led the team in
Kansas started strong, with Azubuike and Vick contributing five of Kansas' first 10 points. Jackson and Mason began to take over, scoring nine more points between them, until Kansas went on a scoreless streak for four minutes, allowing UNC Asheville to bring the game back to 14-12.
rebounds with nine, and Azubuike went 8-of-9 from the field for 17 points. He brought an emphatic dimension to the game as he threw down seven dunks across his 23 minutes.
The Jayhawks' back-court trio continued to impress, combining for 41 of Kansas' 95 points. Mason led the team in scoring with 21 points.

Kansas continued to pull ahead as the game went on, with Graham acting as quarterback for the Jayhawks, dishing out a career-high 11 assists.
"I like throwing lobs and giving assists," Graham said. "Coach said I had six assists at halftime so I was trying to get ten, and I ended up getting 11."
Kansas continued to show its improvement in three-point shooting, as Mason drilled 5-of-5 from beyond the arc and the Jayhawks finished shooting 62 percent from the three.
The scoring onslaught from starters like Jackson, who recorded his fifth straight game in double digits, allowed Self to reduce their minutes after a grueling road trip to start the season.
With 7:23 left to play, Kansas led 82-43. Self switched out the starters to allow forwards Dwight Coleby and Mitch Lightfoot and guards Tyler Self, Tucker Vang and Clay Young.

Kansas knew it was going to be a challenge trying to stop K-State's rushing attack on Saturday. That was especially true when it came to K-State quarterback Jesse Ertz, who has been better with his legs than his arm this season.
In the first half, Ertz proved why he has been one of the best rushing quarterbacks in the Big 12 this season in the Wildeats' (7-4, 5-3 Big 12) 34-19 win over the Jayhawks (2-10, 1-8 Big 12) at Bill Snyder Family Football Stadium.
Ertz contributed 99 rushing yards on 10 attempts in a dominant first half for the Wildcats, but he left the game late in the second quarter with an apparent knee injury.
Despite that, the team took a 20-3 lead into halftime behind 160 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns. On the Wildcats' first drive, fullback Winston Dimel scampered into the end zone for his first touchdown of the day after Ertz broke free for a 21-yard gain on the previous play.
As for the Jayhawks, the only positive of the first half was their opening drive, which went 11 plays for 58 yards and was capped off with a 34-yard field goal from senior kicker Matthew Wyman.
K-State running back Alex Barnes, who had four touchdowns against Baylor last week, produced one of two K-State second-quarter touchdowns with his 31-yard score. Barnes led all rushers with 103 yards on 10 carries.
Kansas freshman quarterback Carter Stanley threw
interceptions on back-toback drives in the second quarter, one of which was returned by K-State defensive back Donnie Starks for a 39-yard touchdown.
In the second half, injuries again plagued the Wildcats at the quarterback position. Joe Hubener, who entered the game for Ertz, left the game in the team's first drive of the third quarter.
As for the Jayhawks, the only positive of the first half was their opening drive."
Still, the Wildcats didn't miss a beat rushing the football against the Jayhawks. Quarterback Alex Delton came in and followed suit, rushing for 50 yards on 10 carries. He did not attempt a pass while in at quarterback.
However, Hubener would return with 4:18 remaining in the third quarter, and on the first play of the fourth quarter, he gave the Wildcats their fourth rushing touchdown of the day when he inched in for a one-yard score.
The Wildcats' dominance rushing the ball didn't allow the Jayhawk offense to find any type of rhythm. One of the two Kansas touchdowns came on a 95-yard quick strike from Stanley to junior wide receiver LaQuivionte Gonzalez out of his own end zone in the third quarter.
The Wildcats won the time of possession handily, controlling the ball for 36:23. The Jayhawks possessed the ball for only 23:37.
The game was already out of reach when the Jayhawks went 10 plays for 75 yards in a fourth-quarter drive, which finished with a touchdown throw from Stanley to senior fullback Michael Zunica.
Kansas allowed 342 total rushing yards and 5.9 yards per carry.
Stanley, the lone bright spot for the Jayhawks who found a hot hand in the second half, completed 24-of-44 passes for 302 yards and two touchdowns, but he fumbled on the final drive of the game and left the game with an apparent shoulder injury.
The Jayhawks finished their season improving upon last season when they went winless overall and in the Big 12.
