Students volunteer for Paul Davis campaign
MARK ACRE
Representative Paul Davis, University alumnus and the Kansas House minority leader, announced in mid-September his bid to run as the Democratic nominee in the 2014 gubernatorial race. Immediately after the announcement, some University students sought ways to contribute to his campaign.
Alex Montgomery, a junior from Overland Park, was dissatisfied with Kansas' economic policy, especially in the area of education. He believes a Davis victory would reverse decreases

in the state's education budget.
"For a long time I've seen Kansas head in a direction that I don't necessarily want it to go in," Montgomery said. "I'm a person that when I see something that needs to be fixed I look how to fix it."
After contacting the Davis campaign, Montgomery quickly received a reply asking when he was available to help. Montgomery now volunteers twice a week with the campaign.
Brittany Bodenheimer, a freshman from Topeka, said initially she was only on the campaign's email list, but when the campaign said it was looking for
volunteers, she quickly signed up. She now volunteers with the campaign once a week.
"Win or lose you learn a lot. And you see if you have a taste for it and you'll also be doing something good."
BURDETT LOOMIS American politics professor
Since it is early in the campaign, the tasks Montgomery and Bodenheimer are assigned
vary. The tasks range from calling supporters, addressing letters and any other tasks the rest of the campaign staff needs help with.
Montgomery and Bodenheimer share a sense of motivation and excitement for the campaign. These are sentiments that Tyler Longpine, field director for the Davis campaign, says are common among volunteers.
"We've had a lot of early enthusiasm from volunteers," Longpine said. "That's been our primary focus right now, just following up with volunteers, organizing volunteers and getting them involved with the campaign." Longpine sees volunteers as invaluable to the overall campaign because, "there will be a lot of work to turn the state around and volunteers will play a very large role in that."
University professor Burdett Loomis, who specializes in American politics, believes one of the best ways to learn about politics is to become involved with a campaign.
"Win or lose you learn a lot," Loomis said. "And you see if you have a taste for it and you'll also be doing something good."

The University is not the only campus celebrating Open Access Week to raise awareness. More than 900 other institutions in 90 countries are participating as ..
"It's really important for the University to communicate our commitment to the global scholarly community that way," said Katie Coffman, communications coordinator for KU Libraries.
"You are becoming part of a system where access to scholarship is becoming more and more limited because pub-
The University spends more than $4.5 million every year for subscriptions to academic journals and the cost has been increasing.
This is the fourth annual Open Access Week here since the University became the first public university to adopt a faculty-led open access policy in 2009. Coffman said. Under the policy, faculty voluntarily make their research available through KU ScholarWorks, a public online repository for research done at the University.
Because of the closed access nature of many academic journals, tuition costs are increasing for students, and individuals outside the University are even further removed from access to scholarship.
Having open access in academia has become increasingly important as the cost of academic journals shot up.
"Universities always wanted to disseminate scholarship and have that dissemination of scholarship have impact on the world," Emmert said. "If the dissemination is closed off and narrowed, you can't have as great an impact."
"People are really interested in how we are doing this in Kansas."

"I think students will come away from it with a better understanding of the empowerment people can get from access to information," Coffman said. "Even if students aren't putting out research themselves, they can see just how critical it is to make that information freely available for the advancement of research and society."
