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

students enough credit when it comes to maturity.

"Students still wouldn't be allowed to carry until they are 21," she said. "By the time you're 21 you have matured quite a bit, and if you have gone through training and understand the ramifications, I really can't see a scenario where students are shooting faculty over grades or each other in disagreements."
Jennifer Jordan, director of career services at the University's business school, said sites like LinkedIn have helped students make virtual connections that can transfer into real-life job opportunities.
"LinkedIn has done a really outstanding job in providing resources for university students and making their website accessible," Jordan said.
It also has a feature that allows users to connect with other individuals. A person is
LinkedIn allows users to create a profile, which functions as an online resume and can be customized with past and current jobs, organizations, and other items, like proficient skills.
More and more these days, however, networking has moved from the office to the internet.
In addition to searching through Jayhawk alumni, Jordan said that there are groups on LinkedIn that a student can utilize. An individual can join a group, post to the message board, initiate a discussion or do a member search that aligns with their career interests, Jordan said.
"I would encourage students to utilize groups. There are a number of KU affiliation groups that they might consider joining to expand

"It is really beneficial as a college student to have this tool to utilize, something as easy as Facebook, that you can scroll through for hours," she said.
After getting acquainted with the website, Luttinger said she learned about a special feature on LinkedIn through the University's Career Services. On the home profile, an individual can click on My Network to access the profiles of different alumni from their university.
