GET SOME CULTURE // ANDA UNION
> It's not all about food and beer pong.
AnDa Union, a band comprised of performers from inner and outer Mongolia, plan to hit the Lied Center's stage Nov. 5 to give Lawrence a taste of Mongolian music.
The music that comes from Mongolia is essentially the history of their culture, according to Tim Pierce, AnDa Union's manager. "They don't have building, they don't have pictures, they don't have pyramids like the Egyptians do, all of their culture is their music," Pierce says. "If it stops [the music] then there's no trace of them, they are gone."
The show will feature traditional Mongolian songs with a mixture of modern day Mongol music with the use of mouth harps and flutes as well as several different vocal forms. "It's powerful, it's beautiful, you will hear singing like you have never heard before; it's a life changing experience." Pierce says.

The show will begin at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 5 at the Lied Center. Tickets will cost $21 for adults and $5 for students. Following the show there will also be a meet and greet with the performers.
Public Library, there will also be a free viewing of the documentary about AnDa Union called "From the Steppes to the City."
Prior to the show on Nov. 1 at 7 p.m. at Liberty Hall and Nov. 2 at 6 p.m. at the Kansas City

ESSENTIAL LIFE SKILLS // PROFESSIONAL EMAILS
> In case of emergency, read quickly.
Email is a simple way to contact someone, but don't let the informal feeling fool you. The way you talk to your mom in an email isn't how you'd want to talk to a future employer. "Your correspondence is being reviewed at all stages, it can be part of the application process," says Wendy Shoemaker, senior associate director for the University Career Center. Shoemaker offers these tips:
Do:
Use proper grammar and punctuation. Use business correspondence titles, such as Mr. and Mrs. Always keep messages brief and concise. Sign with your full name and contact information. And make sure attachments are in a universal format that your recipient can open, such as a PDF.
Don't:
Use slang words. It's also important not to use abbreviations your recipient might not know, such as KU instead of the University of Kansas. Avoid using a demanding tone and break bigger chunks of text up into smaller paragraphs.
"When dealing with people in a position higher than you, they deserve respect because
they have earned that position. If you aren't respectful, it makes you look bad," says Chris Nugent a senior from Overland Park. Nugent gained this insight working as an Information Technology Services intern at Lee's Summit city hall for the past two years.
Another thing to keep in mind is that you never know who your email could be forwarded on to. "Proof read it before you send it," Nugent says.

Fortunato
Sheanon Zenger didn't hire Gill. I doubt he feels any loyalty to the hire and probably wants to find his one guy for the job. And as a former assistant under Bill Snyder at Kansas State, Zenger knows football. In his search for a new head coach at Illinois State as athletic director there, Zenger once told a central Illinois newspaper that he consulted a number of former colleagues while searching for a head coach. That included the aforementioned Snyder, Mark Mangino, and former Texas Tech head coach Mike Leach. That's an impressive group of football minds to get advice from. Zenger knows what he's doing, and if he can somehow get out of thatorrendous contract handed out by his predecessor, Kansas football will be in good shape.
in the penalty kick round as they defeated Kansas 5-3 at Blossom Soccer Stadium in San Antonio last night. At the end of regulation the score was tied at 3-3.
"I think you just have to keep it together and when something like that happens you need to be confident," junior midfielder Whitney Berry said.

Attempting to stay poised in a stressful situation like this is key for the layhawks.
Kansas coach Mark Francis said it was frustrating for the match to come down to penalty kicks because the team should have won the game when they had a 2-0 advantage.
Kansas forward Ingrid Vidal was stopped in the fourth round of penalty kicks, putting the game out of reach. However, many factors led to the result coming down to penalty kicks.
The Jayhawks eventually were down 3-2, but when all hope seemed lost, the Jayhawks made one final charge before time
Kansas was the aggressor for most the first half, pushing the tempo on Texas A&M.
After several solid attempts, junior forward Whitney Berry finally broke through with a goal in the 35th minute, giving Kansas a 1-0 lead. The strike was her eight of the season. The assist on the play was from junior midfielder Shelby Williams.
The Jayhawks continued to put out an aggressive defensive effort, only allowing six shots and one goal shot for the Aggies in the first half.
The Aggies came out in the second half with a purpose, and eventually drew a hand ball in the box when it accidently hit a Jayhawk defender's hand.
Kelley Monogue, a freshman from Texas A&M, then lined up for the penalty kick and striped a ball into the right corner of the goal. However, Kansas freshman goalkeeper Kaitlyn Stroud grasped the ball before it could touch the end line.

The first came in the 74th minute when Allie Bailey completed a cross to Merritt Mathias, putting the Aggies on the scoreboard.
In the 75th minute, Texas A&M tacked on another goal when Annie Kunz found a ball near the net, tying the game.
goals of their own in less than five minutes.
Freshman defender Caroline Van Slambrouck covers her face in disappointment after a foul against Missouri that would lead to a penalty kick. Last night, the Jayhawks lost the game to penalty kicks in the final moments.
The Aggies then went on and scored for the third time when Big 12 scoring leader Monogue made a goal in the 79th minute.
"They scored three really good goals," Francis said. "They'd been attacking us out wide all day and we did a great job defending it, but we didn't on those three occasions."
In the second half the wind also began to blow violently against the Jayhawks, but the team realized that was nothing they could control.
Francis said it was a little factor that allowed the Aggies keep the pressure on the Jayhawks end of the soccer field.

Now the Jayhawks hope the effort on Wednesday will be good enough for them to get an at-large bid in the NCAA Tournament.
"I think we just try to keep our heads up" Kastor said. "This team
deserves to go to the NCAA. I'm hoping we're going to keep playing."
