DORSEY: KU good experience CONTINUED FROM PAGE 18
I've never been to a frit party. I wonder what they're like — how do you do that?
In five to 10 years I hope to be successful in a job that I love to go to every morning when I wake up — possibly married, kids maybe. I love kids. That would be awesome, and playing any kind of sports that my body will allow me.
My ideal job would be anything involving sports, especially working with a professional team doing community and play relations.
One of my best friends from high school had to go to Iraq for a year and a half. I've heard that it's tough for all the soldiers that went there and I sympathize with them. A soldier from Wellsville was actually the first Kansan to lose his life in battle. Knowing him and his family gives me a different viewpoint of our government.
I trust the government and I trust the president so I have to stand behind that, but, on the other hand, I know the stories of the soldiers and their families.
■ My motto is "Carpe diem." I have it up in my room. And also "Live, love and laugh."
■ College has changed me for the better, for sure. I've grown as a person in many aspects of life, and I have another crazy year ahead of me for sure — a scary year, to have to find a job in Mau-
I'm a Catholic, born and raised a Catholic. I've always loved Notre Dame and if would have had the opportunity to go there I would have. I'll be Catholic all my life and I'll raise my kids that way.
Every religion has its positives and negatives. If you are a follower of God I'm not going to hold anything against you.

DEFEAT: Blocker helps with Jayhawk victory

She was second on the team with 12 digs.
Senior libero Jill Dorsey contributed 18 digs.
Five of Lima's kills came in the first half of game one, but it was her serving that finished off the Razorbacks. With the score 28-20, she unloaded two consecutive aces to end the set.
Earlier in the match, Andi Rozum had back-to-back aces as well.
But the Kansas serving would not remain so airtight.
Game two brought four service errors and several attack errors as Arkansas stayed close until the last point.
Though she did not start until the final game, senior middle blocker Ashley Michaels played most of the set and scored several important kills when the Razorbacks closed the gap. A midgame kill made the score 16-14, and Arkansas would not lead again.
Kansas was ahead for most of game four, but led just 26-24 late in the game after a rally.
Michael's fourth kill ended the game in a 30-26 Kansas victory.
The defense came alive for Arkansas in the third game, as they notched four blocks, including a game-winner by Jessica Dorrell on freshman opposite hitter Emily Brown. Dorrell led Arkansas with 15 kills during the night.
Kansas was ahead for most of game four, but led just 26-24 late in the game after a rally. Arkansas rallied from a six-point deficit. After notching two consecutive kills, Lima found herself on the baseline where, in familiar fashion, she landed back-to-back aces to seal the game.
Most exciting for Bechard was his team's seemingly improved blocking, he said. Kansas finished 11th in the Big 12 Conference in blocking last season but blocked 14 attempts yesterday.
The Jayhawks travel straight from Fayetteville to Tulsa, Okla., today for the Oral Roberts tournament. They will face Loyola-Chicago tomorrow before meeting North Texas and Oral Roberts in a Saturday doubleheader.
