Kansan: Jayhawk Boulevard Construction End Date Delayed

While most students were
enjoying the summer months

away from school, the KU
Information Technology
department members were
taking part in student
orientation to help more
than 2,700 students confgure
their smartphones and other
mobile devices to connect to
Jayhawk Wi-Fi.
Wi-Fi is one of the major
components of academic
success and students
connection can make or break
an assignment or project.
David Day, director of
IT External Afairs at the
University, said while
questions have been raised
about the speed of Wi-Fi
connections on campus, only
a small percentage of the daily
calls they receive deal with
Wi-Fi at all.
Quite frankly we havent
heard a lot of complaints
about Wi-Fi on campus.
Typically when we do its due
to confguration problems
and connection problems that
students are having, Day said.
Going back in April, we had
about 25 calls to our customer
service center related to
Wi-Fi. Te majority of those
were related to confguration
of a particular device. Tat 25
calls related to Wi-Fi service
is very low compared to other
issues and other calls we get
on campus.
Day said he did hear of
several inquiries about
wireless service in Allen
Fieldhouse and Green
Hall, but in both cases the
department made changes
and added access points to try
to improve connectivity.
With Allen Fieldhouse, it
was related to specifcally the
areas where students camp
out and thats kind of gray
area with us because with
wireless on campus our main
focus is on providing great
Wi-Fi service in academic
buildings, Day said.
Day said IT has not made
more of an investment in
those areas that are mostly
for recreational use, but they
do understand that while
students are camping out
for basketball tickets many
choose to study and need
Internet access, which is why
theyve made investments to
provide some coverage there.
Several projects to add
more coverage on campus
are underway and students
should see improvements by
the end of the semester.
Te IT department is
currently fnishing up
initial upgrades in almost
all academic buildings on
campus.
So weve really been
working on this for about
two and a half years and
were really focusing on
expanding Wi-Fi on
campus and youll see a
whole list of places where
weve completed upgrades
and expansion and added
Wi-Fi, Day said. Tis last
two and a half years was
really a push at making some
really signifcant upgrades
in academic buildings: the
libraries, Kansas Union and
places where students study
and congregate and where
classes are being held.
IT is currently working
on upgrades at the Spencer
Research Library and a few
outdoor areas, which they
expect to be completed during
the fall semester. Specifcally,
Student Senate leaders have
spoken to their department
about the outdoor area behind
Wescoe Hall and the corridor
between Anschutz Library
and the Military Sciences
building.
Tats an area where
students are increasingly
going to study and congregate
and, you know, jump on their
laptops between classes and
that kind of stuf, so thats
another area where were
focusing right now, Day said.
As far as comparing KUs
wireless service to other
universities, Day said this is
difcult because there is no
measurement that can be
used fairly used. Te structure
of the building or layout of the
campus can afect service.
Our focus is not necessarily

The completion date of the
second phase of construction
on Jayhawk Boulevard has
been rescheduled.
The end date was previously
Aug. 15; however, according
to an email sent Aug. 13 from
the Office of Design and
Construction Management,
Jayhawk Boulevard is
scheduled to open by Sunday
one day before classes
begin for the fall semester.
The construction of Engel
Road on Daisy Hill is now
scheduled to end Thursday.
Gavin Young, assistant
director of strategic
communications at the
University, said the
construction crews found
that some material beneath
the street was harder to
excavate than what they had
anticipated.
We were disappointed
with some of the delays
on the Jayhawk Boulevard
project, Young said. There
were some unforeseen
conditions early on in the
project as they were doing
the excavation of the road
that caused a few delays.
Although the construction
on Jayhawk Boulevard and
Daisy Hill will be done
before classes begin Monday,
construction on the new
School of Business Capitol
Federal Hall has closed
down the sidewalk between
Watkins Memorial Health
Center and the Robinson
Center.
Young said construction
crews will build a utility
tunnel, which will be used
for electricity and water,
at the future site of Capitol
Federal Hall. There were
no utilities running to the
site when it was used as a
recreation area for tennis
and volleyball. A temporary
sidewalk scheduled for
Sept. 19 will be available
between Watkins and
Robinson.
While some students might
find it inconvenient, Dharam
Patel, a junior from Olathe,
said its something they will
have to deal with during the
first month of school.
I think theyll be annoyed
by it, but its not something
they cant just handle or take
care of, Patel said. Youve
just got to show up earlier.

A program developed at the
University intended to replace
learning from traditional
textbooks with online content
has made changes for the fall
semester.
Acceso, a web-based
platform developed in 2009
to act as an alternative to
textbooks, has garnered
$500,000 in savings on
textbooks since its launch.
In the fve years since its
inception, more than 3,000
intermediate-level Spanish
students at the University and
hundreds more across the
country have beneftted from
the program.
Amy Rossomondo, associate
professor of Spanish, said the
decision to implement Acceso
in course material was an
initiative of the Spanish and
Portuguese department. She
said professors felt commercial
materials were lacking in
content that was important for
students to consider as they
were learning Spanish.
A lot of students fnd it to be
challenging and diferent than
what they expect, but overall
they are more successful both
in terms of the grades that
theyre earning and quality of
the language theyre acquiring

KUAAP aids international student immersion
MCKENNA HARFORD
@McKennaHarford
Tis year almost 60 students
from four countries
China, Russia, India and
Vietnam will be the frst
students to participate in the
KU Academic Accelerator
Program. Te program
is a year long, takes place
over three semesters and
is composed of a fxed
curriculum of core classes, as
well as courses through the
Applied English Center.
Id like to see us prepare
these students in a substantive
way and have them go on
to matriculate fully onto
the University, said Antha
Cotten-Spreckelmeyer, an
academic director of KUAAP.
KUAAP requires students
to have a higher level of
profciency in English because,
although the program is an
academic degree track, it also
strives to introduce students
to American culture and life
on campus.
Participating students will
live on campus and have
unique opportunities to
experience the Universityand
American culture through
feld trips, such as going to
away football games and
touring the Konza Prairie in
the Flint Hills and possibly
the Kansas City area later in
the program.
[Te trips] will tie into the
readings, but the program
will also introduce students
to Kansas, KU, Lawrence,
as well as the state, Cotten-
Spreckelmeyer said. We
want students to get a sense
of the culture, the history, the
peoples and the environment
of the state.
A main goal of the program
is to expand the number
of international students
at the University. Assistant
Vice Provost Charles
Bankart hopes that the
program will help recruit
more international students
and ultimately double the
international population at
the University in six or seven
years.
Weve had a steady increase
[of international students]
over 10 years, but it hasnt
increased to the extent we
would like, Bankart said.
We want to establish a good
ft between international
students and KU, so that they
become Jayhawks.
Another goal of the program
is to diversify the international
population, so the program
focuses recruitment in South
and Central America, Africa,
East Asia, Southeast Asia,
South Asia and the Middle
East.
Currently about half of
the international students
enrolled at the University are
from China, Bankart said.
We want a diverse
population because it is
important in infusing classes
with students from all six
regions, Bankart said.
One main challenge for
KUAAP was communicating
the opportunity to a large
number of international
students in such a short
amount of time, which
Bankart hopes will not be an
issue in the future.
As the program expands
over time, Bankart said he
hopes to use the feedback
of the students to adapt
the program so that the
curriculum and experiences
will expand in the best for the
students.
Quality is paramount both
in academics and in student
experience, Bankart said. If
we are successful at bringing
a positive experience to
students then the program
will expand by itself.

University works to tackle freshman retention
KATE MILLER
@_Kate_Miller_
To combat low freshman
retention rates and increase
overall graduation rates,
the University continues to
institute and modify programs
for the beneft of freshmen.
Focusing on course redesign,
experiential learning and a
sense of belonging among new
students, the University hopes
to raise freshman retention by
almost 10 percent in the next
eight years.
Te most recent data from
the Ofce of Institutional
Research and Planning shows
that 79.9 percent of 2012
freshmen returned afer one
year, and 77 percent returned
afer three semesters.
Te efort to increase
retention is spearheaded by
Sara Tomas Rosen, senior
vice provost for Academic
Afairs. Rosen is responsible
for the implementation of
the Universitys strategic plan
for increasing retention and
graduation rates.
Im cautiously optimistic
that were fnding
improvement [in the retention
rates], Rosen said. Its very,
very slow. Teres very, very
small improvements. If you
look at the past 10 years or so,
you can see its a highly stable
number.
In fact, retention rates in the
last seven years have remained
steady at around 79 percent,
except a 77.8 percent rate in
2008, according to OIRP. Te
percentage of freshmen who
return afer their frst year
of school has not surpassed
80 percent since 2005.
Te Universitys highest
return percentage occurred
over 10 years ago, when
82.7 percent of the 2003
freshman class returned a
year later. 2003s high is still
more than 7 percent below
the Universitys ultimate goal
for freshmen retention: 90
percent by 2022.
Te most recent report
from the ACTs Institutional
Data Questionnaire shows
that low retention rates are
a national problem. Of 2012
freshmen at public schools
that ofer bachelor degrees,
only 64.2 percent returned for
a second year of schooling.
Four-year private schools did
not fare much better, with
only 69.8 percent of freshmen
returning for their sophomore
year.
Although the University
can boast a higher retention
rate than the national
average, its still not the
best in the state of Kansas.
According to the Kansas
Board of Regents, Kansas
State University retained 80.6
percent of students in 2009,
while just across the border
the University of Missouri
currently has a retention rate
of 84.6 percent, according to
its school website.
In an attempt to combat this
issue, the Ofce of Academic
Afairs instituted the new
Progression and Graduation
Strategic Plan, which will aim
to track not just retention, but
a students progress towards
graduation and earning a
degree.
Rosen explained that the new
plan will identify high-risk
courses and students early on
in their academic experience.
High-risk courses are courses
that could provide a barrier
to students, said Rosen. Tese
courses will then undergo a
course redesign to better allow
frst-year students to continue
their success at the University.
Using predictive analytics
from the Education Advisory
Board, the University will
also aim to identify high-
risk students and track their
progress throughout their
academic career.
In a student-specifc plan,
[were looking at] if students
are making progress toward
that degree, not just racking
up credit hours, but actually
making good progress towards
a chosen major, Rosen said.
Were putting a predictive
analytic tool in play to help
advisors identify students
who are making really good
progress or maybe have some
risk factors.
Another ofce playing an
important role in freshman
retention is the Ofce of First
Year Experience. Created
specifcally to help freshmen
navigate their frst year at
the University, the programs
implemented by this ofce
work towards fostering a sense
of belonging for frst-year
students.
Sarah Crawford-Parker, the
director of the Ofce of First-
Year Experience, oversees
the programs designed to
help freshmen build a solid
foundation at the University.
She witnessed success in
the ofces programs, which
include the Common Book,
Bold Aspirations Strategic
Plan and frst-year seminar
programs, all of which aim to
create a sense of collaboration
among frst-year students.
Were trying to create the
conditions and environment
that help students be
successful at KU, Crawford-
Parker said. For example, we
know that the more students
feel a sense of belonging at
the institution, the more likely
they are to persist in earning
towards a degree. Weve
found that early connections
to faculty, staf and other
students are essential.
In addition to these
programs, freshmen have a
new opportunity this year.
Instead of moving into the
dorms the Friday before
classes begin, students this
year will move in Tursday.
Te extra day on campus
allows freshmen the chance
to tour the campus and fnd
their classes, as well as learn
to ride the buses and purchase
textbooks. Te Ofce of First-
Year Experience will welcome
students to the University
through a special flm showing
Tursday night on Campanile
Hill.
Te movie, which consists
of interviews with students
and faculty, as well as scripted
pieces, is just another way
for students to feel a sense of
belonging with the campus
community, Crawford-Parker
said.
Te focus of the flm is
really to welcome students
to campus and help them
understand what this
transition into the University
looks like, she said. We
really wanted the movie to
bring our new students into
conversation with our old
students.
Crawford-Parker has already
seen success with the ofces
programs for increasing
freshman retention. Te
ofce tracks student success
through the number of
credit hours completed by
a student, as well as how a
student performs in terms of
written communication. She
believes the program playing
the biggest role is the frst-
year seminars available to
freshmen.
We are positive from some
of the results we have been
seeing from our programs,
specifcally with our frst year
seminars, she said. We know
from the limited information
we have from Fall 2012
that those students are being
retained at a higher level.
However, Crawford-Parker
said that the University has a
long way to go before serious
retention goals are met.
Similarly to Rosen, Crawford-
Parker remains optimistic.
Over the next couple of
years, well be watching a
variety of diferent indicators
to see if we are meeting
the goals we have set for
ourselves, Crawford-Parker
said. I think were making
good progress, but theres still
a lot of work to be done.

heart wrenching at times,
I felt the need to fnish it
once I got past the initial
hump. Not plot-driven in the
traditional sense, Te Center
of Everything became a
page-turner. You want to
know what happens to the
protagonist, Evelyn Bucknow,
and the other people in her
life.
Set in Lawrence during
Americas Reagan era, Evelyn
Bucknow is introduced as
a 12-year-old girl living in
a single mom household,
narrating from early
adolescence. We see Evelyns
world through her innocent
perspective. Shes confused
why a man named Mr.
Mitchell keeps coming over,
and why her moms bed
breaks. When her mom
develops bouts of morning
sickness, Evelyn does not
recognize them as signs
of pregnancy. However, as
Evelyn grows, so does her
intuition, which makes her
resent her mother.
In the classroom, Evelyn
has friends and enemies alike.
Precocious and intuitive,
she performs well in school,
which gains attention from
her science teacher. Always
jockeying for a position
against Traci Carmichael and
Co., Evelyn learns through
the evolution debate that her
religious awakening may have
lef her on the wrong side.
From the evolution debate,
we see how religion versus
science divides the small
town.
Forced to pick sides,
Evelyn is torn between her
evangelical grandmother
and the science teacher
who sees her academic
potential. Difcult for
Evelyn to process, we see the
complexity of situations like
this and others that arise.
Situations such as these really
made me appreciate the book.
Te prose throughout make
the reader align with Evelyns
feelings, but also everyone
elses.
Although the Common
Book is targeted toward
incoming freshmen, I believe
there is value in reading it
regardless of your education
status. It will allow me to
connect with new students
and the KU community who
have read it. Last years book
did not have widespread
appeal or accessibility. Tis
years book can be read
in a day, but still manages
to address important and
pressing topics. Anyone
who will work heavily with
incoming students should set
aside a few hours to read the
novel, and refect on it.
A bildungsroman story, I
always enjoy seeing character
progression through
transitional times in life.
Tough the ending turned
out well in a conventional
sense, I couldnt help but feel
a pinch of sadness. Maybe
because Evelyns friend Travis,
has a life that perpetuates a
vicious cycle, maybe because
of the car accident, maybe the
unfortunate cover choice that
will discourage any guy from
reading this book, or maybe
because the story ended. So
even if you arent an incoming
freshman, I recommend you
pick this book up. Its a quick
read, and it will make you
think. Te novel tells how
Evelyn came from Kerrville
to Larryville, leaving us to
refect on our own journeys
to KU.

JOBS
Value of internships measured in experience, not pay
T
his summer I was an
editorial intern in the
main greeting card
section at Hallmark. As an
intern I worked on everything
that had to do with the words
on greeting cards. It was a
pretty phenomenal experience
that allowed me to utilize a
variety of creative skills. Best
of all, it was paid.
I knew from the beginning
I adored this internship, but
I spent a lot of my summer
trying to fgure out what it
was exactly I liked so much.
Afer all, Id had other fun
jobs, but none had felt quite
like this. None challenged me
or encouraged me the way
this internship did. Afer a
while I realized what it was
that made this internship
stand out. At its heart,
working at Hallmark was a
great experience because it
was clear how much they
cared about all of their
employees, including their
interns.
Hallmark has a ton of
benefts for its employees.
From a creative library to
a caf, there are places all
over to refuel in every sense
of the word. Tere are also
workshops and events held
throughout the year to help
hone creative talent. In a lot of
ways Hallmark Headquarters
in Kansas City, Mo., is like
a professional college
food whenever you want
it, everything in walking
distance, even a nap room
(yes, seriously).
All of these benefts and
more were ofered to us as
interns, and every day I found
out a new part of Hallmark I
loved. But what I loved most
wasnt the obvious perks, it
was the way people spoke
to me and to each other.
Everyone was friendly and
everyone seemed genuinely
happy to have the interns
there, not to do the grunt
work, but to ofer a fresh
perspective.
Coming in, I was never
treated as just an intern.
From day one I was working
alongside other editors,
being trained just like a
new employee would be.
My opinion was always
encouraged and valued, and
my work had real deadlines
for real products. Basically,
it was what an internship
should be a way for me
to refne my skills and learn,
while also a way for Hallmark
to get enthusiastic work from
a new set of eyes.
Hallmark is a company
that can aford to pay their
interns, and so they do, which
is exactly how it should
be. However, if they were
a nonproft that couldnt
aford to pay their interns, I
believe they could still ofer
a worthwhile internship.
It is not the pay that made
my experience at Hallmark
special its the fact that
they clearly cared and did
all they could to give their
interns the best possible
chance at a benefcial learning
experience. More than that,
it was the fact that were I
to work at Hallmark as an
employee, I am confdent it
would be every bit as nice as
working there as an intern.

W
eve all seen the
movies right?
College is hard
late nights studying for exams,
waking up for those dreaded
8 a.m. classes, not having
enough hours in the day and
dealing with people from
walks of life way diferent than
yours. However, there are a
lot of things that the movies,
alumni and current students
do not tell you.
It doesnt matter how
attractive you are because not
everyone cares about physical
appearance. Your hair doesnt
have to be long and glossy,
it doesnt matter how many
hours you spend at the Rec
and it certainly doesnt matter
if youre a part of Greek life.
Your grades do not always
represent how much work you
put into something. You could
have pulled an all-nighter for
a chemistry test and still funk.
Trust me, Ive seen it happen
several times. However,
sometimes people dont study
for a test at all and manage
to get an A. Even if you dont
get a good grade at frst, dont
give up on a class based of
one score. Tere is always the
chance next time will end up
much better.
Getting blackout drunk
is not fun. Just dont do it.
Memories are one of the
most precious things in life,
especially in college. Do not
let a liquid substance be the
reason why an entire night
of your beautiful life is lost
forever. Value your memories
more than that.
Learn to appreciate the
people who pick you up
when youre drunk. Tese are
the people who care about
you the most. Buy them
breakfast the next morning
or just let them know they
are appreciated. Tese are the
people who stayed sober and
didnt escape college stress on
the weekends with a bottle of
alcohol. Te ones who pick
you up, put you in bed with a
glass of water and a trash can
next to you are the ones you
need to treasure and value.
Not everyone will do these
things for you. Selfess people
are the hardest to fnd and
yet the best to have. So if you
fnd one, cherish them and let
them know you love them.
No matter how many
movies youve seen or how
many times youve pictured
the college life in your head,
I guarantee you it is not what
you imagined it to be. People
are constantly evolving.
Everyone in college is trying
to fgure their world out,
which is the beauty of it.
College forces peoples worlds
to collide with others, and
sometimes these turn out to
be the best friendships. Tat
part is very accurate. Youll
meet the worst and the best
people in college. Enjoy both
types. Lessons are just as good
as friendships.

Dont let certain hassles prevent you from biking on campus
F
rom trekking up a giant
hill to trying to fgure
out the bus schedules,
getting around campus can
be a hassle. Most people walk,
drive or hitch a ride in some
type of automobile to navigate
around the University, but
for me, biking has come to be
the transportation of choice.
Biking around campus
seems like a difcult task, but
its something that provides
several benefts. Biking is a
faster alternative to walking
or waiting for the bus, and it
also helps you get in shape.
Tere are some difculties
with biking, especially when
there are classes that require
you to go from the bottom of
the hill, back up to the top,
and then to the bottom again,
but biking is a great workout,
and doing it enough times
can get you very physically ft.
Leaving campus is much easier
because it is mainly downhill
with little work involved.
Te other tricky thing about
using a bike on campus is
fnding a good spot to park
and lock your bike up. Tere
are many bike racks located on
campus, with the most useful
in front of Budig. Te easiest
thing to do is to fnd a spot
that gets you to all of your
classes the quickest, allowing
you to make it to a couple
classes without the hassle of
moving your bike around.
Biking takes a lot of work
and commitment, which is
why in this day and age many
students would rather hop on
a bus. However, the benefts
you earn from biking are
neverending. I always choose
to bike because biking around
campus can make you feel
accomplished, showing you
what you are capable of.
Biking is something that
many more people should
try, not only for personal
health benefts, but for
environmental factors as well.
It is a quicker alternative to
walking or waiting in line
to get on a crowded bus.
Te benefts to biking will
begin to show as the trips up
to campus become easier and
easier. To any new students
looking for a new way to get
in shape, or a way to campus,
pick up your bike and ride.

Clickbait stories improperly attract readers with poor tactics
N
ews is rapidly
moving to the web.
Newspapers are
hopping online and searching
for new revenue streams. As
paywalls fail and sites compete
for clicks, article accuracy
is losing out to a need to
provoke readers into reading.
Banner ads have lost their
efectiveness. Everyone and
their mom knows clickable
ads could contain a virus, or
at best, just another ad. Tat
realization has sent advertisers
and websites scrambling.
Te buzzword of journalists
everywhere these days is
native advertisement,
where publications disguise
advertisements as articles.
While a bit shady, sponsored
content is usually marked as
such, albeit in subtle ways.
Clickbait is anything but.
Clickbait takes many
forms. Some websites write
their headlines to be as
infammatory as possible.
Other sites make a controversy
out of speculation, stretching
the meaning of reporting the
facts to its breaking point.
In the wake of Robin
Williams death, an article on
Gene Simmons made rounds.
He was quoted time and time
again telling depressed people
to kill themselves. Tough
incredibly insensitive and
poorly timed, he made the
comments nearly two weeks
before Williams had passed.
Dozens of news sources
characterized Simmons
comments afer the fact, for
no reason than to drum up
controversy and thus, clicks.
Clickbait, listicles and
slideshows with new slides
on its own webpage are
just some of the ways that
news sources are clawing
at revenue wherever they
can. Every piece of news is
becoming more about its
click potential than anything
else, which means reporting
the facts takes a backseat.
As more and more
Americans realize that TV
news is a biased wasteland,
theyre turning to the Internet
as their primary news source.
But with the advent of ad
tactics like clickbait, theyre
hopping out of the frying
pan and into the fre.
Te power of a news
publication is in the
trustworthiness of its name.
When recognized and
established papers post
articles, theyre obviously
given more credence than
Joe-Shmoe.com. When those
same publications begin to
post cheap articles aimed at
provoking someone into a
click, the whole system sufers.
Real news, sponsored news,
and clickbait will begin to look
more and more similar until
there is no real diference.
Every post will be a political
rant disguised as news. Te
news will become one long-
form advertisement and
the actual, run-of-the-mill
news will get drowned out.
Its hard to fnd someone
to blame for this collapse.
While newspapers and
news sites are guilty of these
tactics, theyre only a natural
response to how modern
America consumes news.
While pinning blame
is a challenge, fnding a
solution is even harder. It
seems impossible to change
the American need for
indignation. Being constantly
angry with some politician
or news event seems to have
become a national addiction.
Even if we found out how to
curb that need back, its still
only treating a symptom.
Te best way we can move
forward is to treat every news
article as clickbait. Recognizing
these changes and keeping
them in mind is essential to
cut through the various layers
of bias and advertisements.
Likewise, checking multiple
sources should be the standard.
Ensure that the news article
you just read isnt simple
speculation and exaggeration.
Treat every news source, even
those youve read for years,
with a renewed critical mind.

Take a humanitarian perspective on immigration issues
A
pproximately 63,000
unaccompanied
children have crossed
the United States southern
border since October of last
year, according to the New
York Times. The number of
children immigrating illegally
has nearly doubled over the
past year. The responses to
this crisis have been varied
and, at times, extreme.
Anti-immigration groups
have blocked buses trying to
cross the border, and Texas
governor Rick Perry stated
that he plans on deploying
1,000 National Guard troops
to guard the border.
The conservative response
to this issue lacks empathy
and depth of understanding.
Children from Central
America are fleeing violence
and poverty by seeking
asylum in the US. This
perspective needs to shift.
The problem does not
stem from a lack of border
security but rather from a
humanitarian crisis occurring
in Central America.
The children coming to the
United States are primarily
fleeing from Guatemala,
Honduras and El Salvador,
according to The Guardian.
All of these countries have
high rates of poverty and
violence, and families often
face financial extortion from
gangs. A United Nations
report states that Honduras
has the highest number of
murders per capita in the
world, while El Salvador and
Guatemala are fourth and
fifth, respectively. Children
and families from these
countries face threats and
daily stresses unimaginable
to residents of the United
States. In addition, those who
choose to flee to the US face
incredible hardships, both
financial and emotional.
Children who cross
the border illegally from
Central America cannot be
immediately deported, thanks
to a Bush-era law. When
immigrants are released
from custody they are given
a trial date, often years away.
Most are unable to obtain
representation in the court
system due to the lack of
immigration lawyers and
high costs. Central American
children are forced, if they
make their court date, to
face the American legal
system without knowledge
of the law. National Public
Radio reported that 90
percent of children who
lack representation fail to
show up for their second
trial. This statistic reverses
itself, though, when they
do have representation.
Advocates have called for
providing lawyers for all
of the immigrants going
to trial. However, even
when these immigrants
have lawyers, their case for
seeking asylum is often weak
and unlikely to succeed.
The conservative reaction
to the crisis has been strong.
Erroneous and ridiculous
statements have surfaced;
claims have been made that
immigrants may bring Ebola
into the United States or
weaken the nations economy.
In truth, the children crossing
the border pose no threat to
the American population.
They are simply seeking
safety and opportunity, and
those who are deported
often end up worse off
than when they left.
Solving the problems in
Central America would
slow the influx of illegal
immigrants and help millions
of people in need. The U.S.
has a responsibility to do
this; it is largely due to U.S.
involvement in the region
during the later half of the
20th century that the region
is so volatile, according to the
Huffington Post. In addition
to fixing problems in Central
America, policy in the United
States must change, easing
the path to citizenship.
Deporting all of these
children is not a solution.
Those who advocate sending
children back to areas fraught
with danger and lacking
opportunity need to think
about the individual humans
they are condemning.

A
s school is right around
the corner, one cannot
help but think of the
huge burden textbooks can
put on college students. It
is unfortunate to spend all
summer working just to spend
hundreds of dollars on books.
In fact, professors rarely assign
the whole book to be read
anyways.
Tis concept of textbooks
is quite puzzling to me. Yes,
textbooks have their purposes;
afer all, what kind of class
would not have some sort of
reading assignment? Tere has
to be some type of medium
that students and professors
can use for information. It is
important for students to be
on the same page as professors
(pun intended). Tis is why
fnding an alternative to
buying overpriced textbooks is
a smart idea.
Textbooks come at a hefy
price, so to fx this problem
the question becomes: What is
a more convenient alternative
to standard textbooks? Te
obvious solution would be
using online books. However,
one of the negative aspects
of online books is sometimes
they can be equally as
expensive as the hardcopy.
Besides the fact that one can
sell back a textbook when the
semester is over, what is the
point of an online textbook if
the prices are the exact same?
If it were up to me, I would
come up with a system that
made online textbooks
signifcantly cheaper than
regular textbooks, with an
option to purchase by chapter.
Tis system would allow for
students to read online at any
time they choose and pay for
only the assigned reading.
Tis could help fx a problem
students have when textbooks
are a requirement, only to
discover just a few chapters of
the book needed to be read.
When tablets frst came
out people had a hard time
adjusting to a swipe of a screen
versus no real page turning
being involved. Yet today,
many people prefer reading
on their electronic devices.
Te convenience of having
all your books in one space is
hard to beat, but sometimes
e-books arent for everyone.
Many students like the ease of
highlighting and annotating
readings professors assign.
Some even mark pages by
placing sticky notes or folding
the page. While there are apps
that allow you to do these
things, it can take away the
feeling of the actual textbook
experience.
It seems clear to me that
students should be the ones
to decide whether they prefer
the old fashioned textbook or
the ever-popular electronic
book. Some professors, if given
the option, allow students to
choose whether they want
to use a hardcopy textbook,
or an e-book. Tis is the way
it should be with all classes.
Since students are the ones
reading the books, they should
ultimately get to decide which
option they prefer.

CAMPUS
Textbooks should have
more alternative forms
I
ts the frst day of class.
You walk into Budig 120,
searching for a good
seat. Youre nervous and
surrounded by hundreds
of your peers, scanning the
room for a familiar face.
You spot the professor at the
front of the room and think
to yourself, I wonder what
he or she is going to be like
or How difcult is this class
going to be? But you dont
have to wait two weeks into
the semester to fgure it out.
Students have been
contributing their
reviews and ratings of
almost every professor
on RateMyProfessors.
com for years. Te website
is dedicated to posting
student-written reviews
of universities professors
for the public. Te website
is set up so every post is
anonymous, therefore
allowing honest reviews
to be written. According
to the site, it has more
than 14 million professor
ratings, thus making it
the highest trafcked site
for professor ratings.
My advice to all students
during these frst few days
before the semester is to look
up some of your Fall 2014
professors. Check to see his
or her difculty, helpfulness
and clarity ratings. View the
comments made by students
who have already taken
the course. Tese reviews
are posted for your beneft
because your peers want you
to be able to go into class on
the frst day knowing what to
expect from each professor.
Tat being said, I am not
advising all students taking
a course with a difcult
professor to drop. I am
saying students should be
aware of what his or her
professor expects out of
their students. It is obvious
that high-level courses are
going to be taught by more
demanding professors, so do
not let that intimidate you.
Regardless of ratings, the
professors here are trained
to be helpful and available
to all of their students.
Websites
like RateMyProfessors.
com are designed to be a
guide for students. Tey
provide point of views on
the honest expectations of
professors, which can be
excluded from the syllabus
given the frst day. It is a
great aid for students who
are choosing classes based on
professors. Te site gives the
information students want to
know about their professors.
If you have a professor you
avidly admire, post a review
on the RateMyProfessors
page. If you have had a
professor who didnt respect
your comments or fatout
wasnt a great teacher, write
on their page. Tis site will
continue to get better the
more students write their
feedback. So before you walk
into your frst class Monday,
check out RateMyProfessors
to see what other
students have to say.

Student Senate spent the
summer session getting
adjusted to ofce while
planning for the upcoming
year and tackling unexpected
issues.
For the past few weeks, the
senate has focused on the
decision and reversal of the
new hours policy that took
efect July 29 and caused
concern with undergraduate
students, who had no prior
knowledge of the change in
policy. Te policy stated that
students could work no more
than 20 hours for on-campus
jobs, but the decision was
quickly reversed.
Morgan Said, student body
president, said she worked
closely with the Universitys
human resources
department. Said said that
she was happy to accomplish
an early victory for students.
Tat was a really fun
win, I think, for the student
population, coming into the
school year, Said said.
Said said that her
staf worked alongside
administration to get the
reversal. She said the process
involved many meetings and
email exchanges, and a lot
of work specifcally with the
HR department.
Said also said that the fall
concert platform previously
supported by the senate was
too ambitious with too little
turnaround time to start this
fall, and they are currently
looking at dates in the
spring instead.
Student Body Vice
President Miranda Wagner
and Chief of Staf Mitchell
Cota have been working
on drafing the legislation
for hiring a Social Equity
director that would serve on
the Student Senate. Tey plan
on putting the legislation
through the frst senate cycle
and to begin hiring for the
position at the time if the bill
passes.
Tey also held an open
forum about the position
that was open to students
and administrators to give
feedback and help shape
what the position would look
like.
Tis is someone who
is going to be working to
advocate for marginalized
students and multicultural
groups, working closely with
the Ofce of Multicultural
Afairs but also the new Vice
Provost of Diversity and
Equity, Wagner said.
Wagner said the new vice
provost, Nate Tomas, has
already ofered to be the
advisor for the Social Equity
Director, if the bill should
pass.
Cota rewrote the Senate
Rules and Regulations to
have it ready for the start of
the school year.
Cota and Wagner are also
working to prepare for the
frst legislative cycle and the
senate training session.
Since the majority of
our senators this year are
probably going to be pretty
brand new, or maybe theyve
only gone to committee
before, its going to be
really important that its
thorough, Wagner said.
Te three also agreed
that more new senators
can be a positive change.
New senators are more
likely to challenge the
status quo and I think
thats something were
looking forward to, Cota
said.
Cota said there were 104
seats to be flled but that many
of those are by appointment
through student groups
on campus who are
guaranteed representation
in Senate. Tey plan to
start the committee to get
replacement senators during
legislative training, so they
can have some seats flled by
the frst cycle.
Te main idea the senate
exec wants to emphasize
this year is bringing
student voices back into the
conversation on campus.
Our goal for the year
is to get everyone at the
University to see things
through a student lens, Said
said.

WGSS department debuts human sexuality major
Te University recently
added a new major to its
course catalog, one that will
tackle issues such as human
trafcking, domestic violence
and health discrimination in
contemporary society: human
sexuality.
KU is one of only a handful
of universities in the nation
to ofer this degree. Alesha
Doan, department chair of
Women, Gender, and Sexuality
Studies, said the degree will be
benefcial to students seeking
careers in advocacy and policy.
Students who are interested
in acquiring cross-cultural and
interdisciplinary skills that
are designed to fnd solutions
to vexing social inequalities
would want to pursue a major
in human sexuality, Doan
said.
Danny Anderson, dean of
the College of Liberal Arts
and Sciences, believes human
sexuality provides a unique
lens to view current issues.
Te 2014-15 academic year
will mark the frst year of
the human sexuality majors
availability to KU students.
Departments in the College
of Liberal Arts & Sciences
constantly assess degree
oferings to ensure students
will graduate KU prepared to
make an impact, Anderson
said. Te new major in human
sexuality provides a crucial
perspective to address many of
the biggest issues of our time,
such as human trafcking.
Te WGSS department began
ofering a human sexuality
minor in 2008. Eventually,
in the 2011-12 school year,
a human sexuality student
petitioned to create a major
for the subject. In response,
a survey was administered
in February 2012 to evaluate
the level of support for a
human sexuality major. Te
results showed high approval.
However, the proposed major
still had to survive an arduous
approval process.
Te process of creating
a new major is extensive,
Doan said. It requires
a commitment from the
department proposing the
major, the college and the
University, which WGSS has
been fortunate to receive
throughout this process.
Additionally, WGSS is an
interdisciplinary department
that collaborates with many
other departments at KU.
Terefore, we also needed to
establish a commitment from
other departments to assist
WGSS in delivering a new
major.
To create the new major, a
formal proposal was drafed
that explained the necessity
of the degree, the positive
efects of the degree, and the
resources required for carrying
out the degree. Te proposal
was then reviewed, revised
and resubmitted. Afer it was
approved from all sides, it
was passed on to the Board of
Regents for fnal approval.
When a new major is
created, defning the major
is a complex task. Human
sexuality majors will study
the trauma of domestic abuse,
modern-day slavery and unfair
health standards.
But what is human
sexuality? Which subjects
can be categorized as human
sexuality, and which fall into
another feld of study? Doan
provided a defnition of her
own.
Tis feld investigates
the ways in which sexuality
is shaped by other social
diferences such as race, gender,
class, disability, religion,
nationality and ethnicity,
Doan said. Studying these
signifcant issues of inequality
requires an exploration of the
historical, political, biological,
cultural, sociological,
educational, legal, health,
aesthetic and psychological
contexts of human sexuality.

Accelerated program to
offer IT degree in 3 years
In a collaborative efort
between the Blue Valley School
District, Olathe School District,
Johnson County Community
College and the University
of Kansas Edwards Campus,
students will now be able to
obtain a bachelors degree in
information technology in only
three years.
Te Degree in 3 program,
which began in 2013, allows
students in the Blue Valley
and Olathe school districts
to accelerate their academic
timetable by taking advanced
placement and dual credit
classes in high school. Afer
graduating from high school,
students in the program enroll
in JCCC to fnish the remainder
of their general education
courses. Upon completion of
all the necessary coursework,
students then transfer to the
Universitys Edwards Campus
to complete their bachelors
degree.
Its an interesting
collaboration between KU,
Johnson County and the
local school districts, said
Steve Case, director of the
center for STEM learning and
K-12 liaison for the Edwards
Campus. For some students,
its a better learning model.
Students arent just learning
theories, but theyre applying
them in practical ways.
Te accelerated nature of
the program helps students
fnancially by reducing the
number of years spent in
school and getting them into
the workforce of an industry
with available jobs. Many of
the students also participate in
paid internships and work on
entrepreneurial projects while
in the program further
enhancing the programs
fnancial appeal.
Students are able to move
forward and get into their
careers quicker, said Lauren
McEnaney, an information
technology advisor. I
defnitely dont see it as a
substitute for the traditional
college experience, because
this program isnt for everyone.
But the traditional college
experience isnt for everyone
either.
With a Degree in 3 pathway
for obtaining a degree in
exercise science, McEnaney
sees room for growth and
envisions a wider variety of
pathways being created to fll
needs in the workforce.
Te program is generating
positive buzz amongst students
as well.
IT opens up a lot of career
options, said Gerardo
Echeverria, a sophomore
from Topeka majoring
in Information Systems
Technology. I think its
actually really cool that they are
willing to make things easier
and faster for their students.
Te program is an enticing
option for many, and Case
stressed its focused nature.
Tis isnt the option for
everybody; there is no silver
bullet. But this is more
focused, Case said. At
the end of the day, it gives
students more options for their
education, and thats what is
important.

On July 26, Lawrence
community members gathered
for the opening of the new
public library at 707 Vermont
St. Since opening, the library
has registered more than 1,500
new library cards and hopes to
add more with the start of the
school year.
Marketing coordinator Jeni
Daley said she thinks the
new resources the library
has to ofer will surprise
students. Along with the
traditional books and media
collections, the new library
also ofers a sound and vision
space complete with its own
recording studio and three
editing booths with sofware
such as Adobe Creative Suite
and Pro Tools 11.
Daley, a KU alumna who
majored in journalism, said
when she was in school she
needed expensive resources
like Adobe Illustrator.
Knowing the public library
now has programs like that is
cool, Daley said.
Te library has also added
about 20,000 square feet of
space to provide more study
spaces, large meeting rooms,
an auditorium, a cofee stand
and updated technology.
We are evolving as a library
and we always want to adapt
to the current needs of what
our community is looking for,
Daley said.
Daley said the public library
ofers students the opportunity
to get of campus to study and
be part of the community.
Library cards are free to any
resident of northeast Kansas.
Anyone wanting to sign up
for a card must present photo
identifcation and proof of
residency, such as a utility
bill. For students living in the
dorms, a piece of mail with a
dorm address will work.
Daley also said while many
see campus libraries and
public libraries as competitors,
they each serve a purpose and
prefer to work together on
projects.
We love working with
them, and the idea is we just
have diferent goals that
complement one another,
Daley said. A university
campus is great for most
of your research you can
get done there and have
some really knowledgeable
academic librarians, but
the public library has really
started to change in general.
Heres what to expect
at campus libraries this
semester:
WATSON LIBRARY
Watson Library ofers:
Humanities library, linguistics,
literature, childrens story
books for education majors,
large fction collections, lots
of study areas, computers,
printers, quiet areas and
subject study librarians for
more detailed questions.
Whats new: We still have
the writing center and the
graduate study lounge, but
weve been working to update
them, said library assistant
Laura Skarka.
Students choose this library
because: Its quiet, its
centrally located, particularly
if youre taking a humanities-
oriented degree this is where
youre going to come to fnd
all of your stuf, Skarka said.
Tey also probably like the
fact that when schools in
session we have a snack shop
so you dont have to study
hungry. When I was a student
here they didnt allow food
in the library at all. Youd get
scolded by a librarian if you
tried to bring something in
with you and now theres a
cafeteria.
ANSCHUTZ LIBRARY
Anschutz Library ofers:
Science books, maps,
government documents,
microform, education books
and part of the business
books. Learning studio on
the third and fourth foor,
computers, express printing
and group study rooms.
Both Watson and us
have business, said Robert
Szabo, manager of Anschutz
Library. We have the stuf
that kind of relates to what
goes on in Summerfeld
and Watson has stuf thats
done more by people in
economics. We also have
the thesis and dissertations
for the University. We have
the writing center, theyre
headquartered here 40
percent of all printing is
done at those three express
printers.
Whats new: Seven study
rooms, which used to be
ofces and a new study area
in the northwest corner of the
third foor, Szabo said. We
will also have two new rooms,
which will be scheduled
separately by instructors or
tutors. Seven new tables have
been added on the frst foor,
west of the maps collection.
because: Central location,
social atmosphere and
resources ofered.
SPENCER RESEARCH LIBRARY
Spencer Research Library
ofers: University archives,
Kansas Collection, Special
Collections and varied
artifacts from a 4,000-year-
old clay tablet to artists books
that have come out this year.
Whats new: Were always
getting new collections,
said Elspeth Healey, special
collections librarian. We have
a few coming up, for example
Ornithological Illustrations
in the Age of Darwin: Te
Making of John Goulds Bird
Books. Te Kansas Collection
is always adding more papers.
because: Te materials
that are housed here if
students want to come and do
original research they come
here, Healey said. Faculty
members also want students
to gain the experience of
seeing the artifacts, so many
classes are brought here
throughout the semester.

NASA awards $500,000
to supernova research
MICHAEL OBRIEN/KANSAN
Dr. Adrian Melott, a professor of physics and astronomy, leads the KU
Astrophysics Biology Working Group, which just received $500,000 from
NASA to study the effects of a supernova occurring near Earth.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Members of the San Bernardino County Sheriffs Departments Urban Search and Rescue team prepare to
recover the body of Erin Corwin from an abandoned mine shaft near Twentynine Palms, Calif., on Sunday.
Of all the events that take
place in the vast universe we
live in, a supernova may be
one of the most fascinating.
Tese stellar explosions are
the last breath of dying stars,
and they release an amount of
energy rivaling what the ex-
ploding star emitted through-
out its entire lifespan, with
the shock waves of the explo-
sion traveling at up to 18,000
miles per second.
In May, NASA awarded a
team of researchers $500,000
to fully assess the efects of
a supernova occurring near
Earth.
Te group, named the KU
Astrophysics Biology Work-
ing Group, is led by Adrian
Melott, professor of physics
and astronomy at the Univer-
sity. Melott, along with Uni-
versity alumni Andrew Over-
holt of MidAmerica Nazarene
University and Brian Tomas
of Washburn University, will
analyze past evidence and
computer models to produce
the most detailed reports to
date of the efects of a super-
nova within 30 lightyears of
Earth.
Melott has been involved
with supernovae research for
some time, but did not begin
working on this particular
project until he learned that
his team had received fund-
ing.
Teres actual evidence that
a supernova occurred nearby
2.5 million years ago, Melott
said. Te research will help
to understand any efects a
supernova had in the past,
which will tell us more about
what could happen in the fu-
ture.
Tis is something that
is important, and has rele-
vance, said Ben Neuenswan-
der, a member of the research
support staf at the Special-
ized Chemistry Center who
is assisting Melott with the
research. Te research in
general will answer questions

NOVA VIDEO
about what might happen if a
supernova goes of near us. It
could help us prepare for an
event like that.
Before heading to the local
nuclear fallout bunker, know
that no supernovae are ex-
pected to occur near Earth
anytime soon, but they occur
two-to-three times every cen-
tury within the Milky Way,
making research into their
possible efects on human-
kind necessary. Melott said in
a press release that superno-
vae occurring within 30 light
years of Earth, or the distance
considered Near-Earth, are
only likely to occur every few
hundred million years.
Supernovae as events are
really popular with the public,
and supernova remnants are
really beautiful, said Saman-
tha Brunker, a senior from
Kansas City, Mo., majoring in
astronomy and physics. I feel
really proud that KU does so
much top-notch research like
this.
SANTA ANA, Calif. A
former Marine charged Tues-
day with murder afer the
body of his alleged lover was
found in an abandoned Cal-
ifornia mine shaf had been
looking into how to dispose
of a human body, a sherif's
investigator said.
Christopher Lee, 24, ad-
mitted conducting Internet
searches on human body
disposal, and a witness told
detectives that Lee asked him
"what was the best way to
dispose of a human body," a
sherif's investigator wrote
in a document fled in San
Bernardino County Superior
Court in support of an arrest
warrant.
In addition, .22-caliber fred
casings and rebar were recov-
ered from the scene where
the body of 19-year-old Erin
Corwin was found late Sat-
urday in an abandoned mine
shaf. Te head stamp from
the casings matched those on
casings found in Lee's vehi-
cle and home, the document
said.
Lee was arrested Sunday in
Anchorage, Alaska, a day af-
ter Corwin's body was spot-
ted with a video camera down
the 140-foot shaf on federal
land near Twentynine Palms,
where her husband, who was
also a Marine, was stationed.
Lee was scheduled to appear
in an Alaska court Tuesday
afernoon.
Prosecutors in California
charged Lee with murder
with a special circumstance
allegation of lying in wait,
which enables them to poten-
tially seek the death penalty,
the San Bernardino County
district attorney's ofce said
in a statement.
Corwin was in the early
stages of pregnancy when
she disappeared on June 28,
according to earlier court fl-
ings. Her husband, Marine
Cpl. Jonathan Corwin, re-
ported her missing the next
day.
Erin Corwin's friend told
investigators that Corwin and
Lee were having an afair and
that the unborn child might
be Lee's, according to the ear-
lier flings. Corwin told the
friend that Lee was worried
his wife might divorce him
and prevent him from spend-
ing time with his child if she
knew Corwin was pregnant,
the papers say.
Corwin told her husband
when she lef that day that she
was going to scout out hik-
ing trails in Joshua Tree Na-
tional Park that she and her
mother could explore when
her mother visited a few days
later. But the friend showed
authorities text messages that
said Corwin was planning to
go on a special hunting trip
with Lee the day she disap-
peared.

Black Mens Union targets graduation rates,
representation of black student community
Talks by prominent black community leaders
Social events
Banquet honoring the Universitys successful
African American women
REID EGGLESTON
@ReidEggleston
Inspired by a similar and
successful initiative at Yale
University, the Black Mens
Union will begin meeting this
September to approach the
specifc needs of the Universitys
black male population.
Te organization has its sights
on augmenting the currently
projected four-year national
graduation rate of 18 percent
for black males, according to
Caleb Bobo, a junior from St.
Louis and founder of the Black
Mens Union. Te Universitys
most recent count notched
the four-year graduation rate
for Caucasian students at
40 percent.
Bobo believes in inspiring
the black male community to
become successful students and
that a fair amount of campus
lobbying are the solutions to
this issue.
Its hard for a black
student to fnd a place at
this predominantly white
school, Bobo said. But I
think fostering the next wave
of African American leaders
makes this challenge a little bit
easier to tackle. A strong black
male community makes for a
better KU.
A highlight of the group is
their mentorship program,
which pairs freshmen
and sophomores with
upperclassmen in order to help
them navigate the byways of
collegiate success.
Te Black Student Union,
another prominent black social
group focused on community
building, ofered a similar
mentorship program to its
attendees in the past, matching
students based on proximity
and plans of study, but Bobo
asserts the fraternal nature of
the new group will bolster this
initiatives foundations.
Kareem Wall, a junior from
Charleston, S.C., and the
groups director of membership,
is enthralled at the opportunity
to provide the support he
wishes hed received when he
arrived at the University.
I can actually be a part of
someones personal change, he
said. I want to make KU closer
to home for everyone.
Wall, responsible for the
launch of the mentorship
program, found himself in
an academic mire afer his
sophomore year at KU.
When I came here as an out-
of-state freshman, I struggled.
I mean, I knew no one, and I
felt like I had no connection
to the school, Wall said. Tis
led to my dismissal from KU.
Ten I came back and got
more involved. I think it has
put me in a position to share
my personal experiences for
other black men who feel out
of place.
In order to embed this sense
of belonging into the black
male community, the Black
Mens Union will ofer monthly
activities, including speaking
engagements from prominent
members of the local black
community and social events,
as well as a banquet honoring
black women for their successes
at the University.
And while the clubs founding
year brings with it the pursuit of
diverse avenues of exploration,
the group does have a unifying
goal.
Weve found that African
Americans are ofen great
leaders within the black
community, but we want to
expose African American
males to the rest of the KU
community, Bobo said.
To his point, Bobo, a
member of Student Senate
and the Student Alumni
Leadership Board, fnds black
representation on these bodies
sparse. He is one of only three
black participants currently
on the Student Endowment
Board.
Devante Green, a senior from
Lawrence, agrees that if our
black men dwindle any more,
the defnition of what it means
to be a Jayhawk changes.
Beyond this, there are a
number of issues that pose
barriers to the Black Mens
Unions success, principally
that of funding.
Unless the KU Black
Alumni chapter donates a
large chunk of money, Bobo
sees the lions share of the
groups funding coming from
students themselves. Still,
he is optimistic that those
who benefted from black
community organizations in
the Universitys past will rise to
the occasion and share Bobos
vision.
Weve had a huge response
from the KU Black Alumni
chapter, whose members
ofen did what wed like our
members to do, Bobo said.
Tey transferred from
being students into having
professional careers in law and
medicine, among other things.
Te Union also gains from
shared resources that the
interwoven black community
at the University provides.
Te black student groups
are very intertwined and all
members have a hand in some
other organization, Wall said.
In accordance with Wall, Kat
Rainey, a senior from Shawnee
and former leader of the Black
Student Union, acknowledges
the importance of minority
student groups sharing a
common vision.
At the end of the day, were
always going to support each
other because were such a small
community at KU, she said,
referring to the Universitys
black population, which
currently composes only four
percent of the student body,
according to collegeportraits.
org.
Rainey notes that black men
make up only about 30 percent
of the Black Student Union, and
that their underrepresentation
even within the black
community necessitates the
founding of the Black Mens
Union.
Te group is optimistic for
a successful maiden year,
particularly in light of interest
accrued through Twitter, with
135 followers, and Facebook,
with 97 likes.
At the end of the day, were

always going to support each
other because were such a

CAMPUS
University parking forgiveness program
allows students to cancel tickets with quiz
MARIA SANCHEZ
@MariaSanchezKU
Seven months have passed
since the Parking Ticket
Forgiveness program became
available for students and since
then, 318 students have taken
the quiz and 205 tickets have
been canceled.
Te program is an efort to
give students a chance to learn
why they received a ticket
so they can learn from their
mistakes through a 20-question
quiz.
Tere are questions about
what hours we ticket lots, about
yellow zones and red and blue
and gold zones versus how to
read the residence hall signs,
said Margretta de Vries, an
administrative professional
with KU Parking & Transit.
Donna R. Hultine, the
director of Parking & Transit,
said educating people about
not getting tickets when they
receive them is important and,
afer review, the department
may forgive the ticket.
Hutline says the University
has lost 600 working stalls to
construction, and she could
see people going into sections
of the Lied Center where
they dont belong because of
overfow.
Tose would be great
applications for taking that
quiz, Hultine said.
However, only certain kinds
of tickets may be canceled
afer taking the quiz. Group
1 violations are seen as tickets
that qualify for the Parking
Ticket Forgiveness Program.
According to the Parking
& Transit website, group 1
violations include parking in
the wrong zone, having an
invalid permit, parking in a
restricted area and overstaying
a time limit.
Marcus Tetwiler, last years
student body president,
proposed the initiative for the
program. Hultine said Tetwiler
was well versed in this topic
because he had worked as a
transit coordinator.
It was student conceived
from someone who saw a need
and I think its great because
sometimes I think we are so
close to stuf we cant see it,
Hultine said.
Although Tetwiler has since
graduated, he said he feels
confdent that the program
ofers students more than
just a slap on the wrist, and
saves them from unwanted
frustration.
Now, instead of facing
punitive action, transitioning
Jayhawks are granted an
educational opportunity and a
little fnancial relief, Tetwiler
said.
With the success of the
program from last semester still
growing, Hultine said she looks
forward to this new semester
and the opportunities students
may have to get a parking ticket
canceled using the program.
It was student conceived

from someone who saw a
need... Sometimes I think we
are so close to stuff we cant
see it.

TRAVEL
US changing no-y list rules; travelers able to challenge
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Obama administration
is promising to change the
way travelers can ask to be
removed from its no-fly
list of suspected terrorists
banned from air travel.
The decision comes after
a federal judges ruling that
there was no meaningful
way to challenge the
designation, a situation
deemed unconstitutional.
In response, the Justice
Department said the U.S.
will change the process
during the next six months.
As of late last summer, about
48,000 people were on the
no-fly list.
The governments policy
is never to confirm or deny
that a person actually is on
the no-fly list, citing national
security concerns. In most
instances, travelers assume
they are on the list because
they are instructed to go
through additional screening
at airports or because they
are told they cant board their
flights to, from or within the
United States.
The no-fly list is one of
the governments most
controversial post-9/11
counterterrorism programs
because of its lack of due
process, long criticized
because people cannot know
why they were placed on the
list and lack a way to fight
the decision. Changing how
people can challenge their
designation could amount
to one of the governments
most significant adjustments
to how it manages the list.
Its long past time for the
government to revamp its
general procedures, said
Hina Shamsi, an attorney
with the American Civil
Liberties Union.
Shamsi is among the
attorneys who represent
13 plaintiffs who sued the
federal government over
the current policy, saying it
violates their constitutional
right to due process. Earlier
this summer, a federal judge
in Portland, Ore., agreed
with them. The Portland
case is one of five around the
country challenging some
aspect of the terror watch
lists.
So far, the government is
offering few details about
upcoming changes. In a court
filing earlier this month,
it said it will endeavor to
increase transparency for
certain individuals denied
boarding who believe they
are on the No Fly List.
One of the plaintiffs in
the Portland lawsuit, Abe
Mashal, was unable to print
his boarding pass before
a flight out of Chicago
four years ago. A counter
representative told him
he was on the no-fly list
and would not be allowed
to board. Mashal was
surrounded by about 30 law
enforcement officials, he
said.
Mashal appealed the same
day but six months later the
government responded, no
changes or corrections are
warranted at this time. He
appealed the decision in May
2011. Nine months later, the
government said its ruling
was final.
The appeals process,
known as redress, was started
in 2007. The government
receives tens of thousands of
applications a year, according
to court documents.
But 99 percent of those
complaints are unrelated
to the terror watch lists,
the current director of the
Terrorist Screening Center,
Christopher Piehota, said in
a November 2010 declaration
related to a California no-
fly list lawsuit. At the time,
Piehota was deputy director
of operations at the center,
which determines whether
someone is appropriately on
a terror watch list.
In 2013, 752 redress
complaints were shared
with the Terrorist Screening
Center, according to
information provided by the
government in a separate
federal lawsuit out of
Virginia. Formal complaints
led the U.S. to remove 100
people from a broad terror
watch list, the no-fly list and
a separate list of people who
require additional screening
at airports, the government
said. It described the 752
complaints as just 1 percent
of the total redress requests,
indicating it received about
75,000 that year.
The screening center
considered only 227
requests in 2009. After a
near-miss terror attack on
Christmas Day that year,
the government revamped
its watch-listing system and
lowered the standard for the
no-fly list. The number of
people banned from air travel
surged from about 3,400
at the end of 2009 to about
48,000 late last summer,
intelligence officials have
told The Associated Press.
After someone complains
under the process, the
government conducts a
review. Once complete, the
applicant is given a redress
number to use when booking
air travel reservations.
Often this is done to resolve
problems for people with
similar names as someone on
a terror watch list.
Mashal, a Marine veteran
who is now a dog trainer,
said being on the no-fly list
has cost him business clients
and stopped him from
attending a wedding, funeral
and graduation.
After three years of
avoiding air travel, Mashal
purchased a ticket last
summer. He was able to print
his boarding pass at home,
which he said was the first
sign he might no longer be
on the list. In 2013, he flew
in June and October without
incident. But he said he never
knows what to expect.
Its always something I
have to think about now,
because nobody knows why
I got put on the list, and
nobody knows why they took
me off, Mashal said. Its
always on my mind.
The Justice Department
said it would reconsider
Mashals and the other
Portland plaintiffs requests
after making its changes to
the redress process. A judge
will determine whether that
is an appropriate response.

EDUCATION
State sees general fund cut, tuition prices rise
Tuition prices at the
University are following the
same trend as the last 14 years
tuition rates are going up.
In 2000, the lowest tier of
credits cost $69.65, according
to the Comprehensive Fee
Schedule data provided by
Brian McDow, senior associate
director of the Ofce of the
University Registrar. Tis is a
striking diference from the
current cost for incoming
freshmen, which is $318.25.
Luckily for students, there
is the option to lock in the
tuition rate as a frst-time,
degree-seeking freshman. Just
three short years ago in the
fall of 2011, this years seniors
walked on campus for the frst
time and their frst credit hour
cost them $278.80.
Tis pattern can be seen
across the state of Kansas.
Tuition rates at the six major
state universities in Kansas
Emporia State University, Fort
Hays State University, Kansas
State University, Pittsburg
State University, University
of Kansas, and Wichita State
University have been on the
rise for the past 25 years, said
Breeze Richardson, director of
communications for the Kansas
Board of Regents.
Raising tuition is not
something that each university
has complete control over. Each
university works very closely
with the Board of Regents,
receiving its counsel in a
yearlong process that begins
in the fall and ends when the
tuition proposals are submitted.
Its a misperception to think
the tuition proposals are frst
seen in May, and then approved
in June as an up or down vote,
Richardson said.
According to a memo sent
out by the Kansas Board of
Regents regarding tuition
questions, the Board is in favor
of restoring the funds lost from
the 1.5 percent state budget
cuts to university expenditures.
If these cuts are restored,
assuming required budget
increases and operational
expenses stay constant, it is
possible that tuition increases
for the 2015 school year would
be limited.
However, this years tuition
increases exceeded the amount
needed to simply ofset budget
cuts. At KU, a 2.5 percent
tuition increase would have
been sufcient to balance the
cuts, according to the Board of
Regents memo. Instead, tuition
was raised by 4.9 percent this
year.
Currently, 50 percent of
KU students graduate with
an average debt of $23,000,
according to Gavin Young,
assistant director of the Ofce
of Public Afairs. Tis makes
fnancial aid all the more
crucial. Making the University
more afordable and providing
incentive for prospective
students was the reason behind
creating four-year renewable
scholarships.
Te idea was to take
scholarship money that was
really being handed out to
upperclassmen and pooling
that together and making those
scholarship funds available to
students at the beginning of
their career, Young said.
Far Above is a comprehensive
fundraising campaign by KU
Endowment to increase the
total number of scholarship
dollars available to KU
students.
Tere was actually just an
announcement today of a new
scholarship for students who
graduated from Hutchinson
High School, Young said. So
you see scholarships of all types
that come online thanks to Far
Above.
But not all KU scholarship
funds come exclusively from
donors. Even though the
University is asking for more
money from students, some of
that amount is returned back to
the source.
Tere is a certain amount
of tuition funds that go toward
fnancial aid, Young said.

During a typical
deployment, soldiers will
ofen fnd themselves in an
unfamiliar place with no
knowledge of the local culture
and only the faintest grasp of
the language, if they are lucky.
Te University has partnered
with the U.S. Department of
Defense to change that.
If the typical Lawrence
resident revved up their
vehicle and drove northeast
for 50 minutes, they will
run into the oldest active
Army installation west of the
Mississippi: Fort Leavenworth.
If this person then drove four
hours southeast, they would
fnd themselves in the vicinity
of Fort Leonard Wood, Mo.
In 2013, the Department of
Defense allocated $775,000
to the University in order
to establish a Language
Training Center. Te center
provides beginner language
courses for Marines at Fort
Leonard Wood and language
maintenance training for
ofcers at Fort Leavenworth
who already have a foreign
language background.
Te goal of the program is
to help soldiers expand their
cultural knowledge.
To get awareness and
knowledge of a culture it takes
years and years of training,
said Mike Denning, director
for the Ofce of Graduate
Military Programs. We are
really providing them with
the foundation for future
education opportunities.
One year before the
University received the
Language Training Center
grant, it received a similar
grant from the Department
of Defense. Project GO
(Global Ofcer) is a grant
that gives scholarships to
Reserve Ofcers Training
Corps (ROTC) students for
summer language training
both domestically and abroad.
Project GO helped provide the
foundation for the Language
Training Center.
We became aware of the
Language Training Center
a year afer [Project GO],
Denning said. Te reason we
became aware was because of
Project GO.
Te Language Training
Center began ofering classes
last year. At Fort Leavenworth,
KU professors drove to the
garrison and delivered face-
to-face instruction in Arabic,
Spanish, French, German
and Korean. Persian language
training will be ofered in the
future.
Randy Masten is a co-
principal investigator of the
grant and assistant director
of the Ofce of Graduate
Military Programs. Masten
said the classes at Fort
Leavenworth, which have
six to 10 students, are very
diferent from traditional KU
classes.
Most of the target audience
is non-traditional students at
Fort Leavenworth, Masten
said. Tey are senior captains
or majors who have been
in the military 10 years and
probably have several combat
tours under their belt.
Mike DeHaven, the Project
Pedagogy Specialist at the
University, helped design
the courses and also taught
German at both military
units. He interacted with
students at a very direct level
in the classroom.
Tey are motivated,
DeHaven said. You know,
they are older, so they have
some life experience. Tey
approach things a little
diferently from a traditional
student.
Fort Leonard Wood is located
roughly four hours away from
the University. Professors
could not make the drive
every week, so Synchronous
and Asynchronous Language
Training was put in motion.
Synchronous and
Asynchronous Language
Training (S.A.L.T.), is a
mixture of classroom study
and online learning. Students
Skype with instructors once
or twice a week. Assignments
and readings are posted on
Blackboard.
Trough this hybrid method
of learning, students at Fort
Leonard Wood can choose
from a variety of language
oferings, including French,
Chinese, German, Japanese,
Russian and Spanish.
However, the Internet
access ofered at the military
posts was limited because the
installations had their own
internal systems, leading to IT
difculties.
For Fort Leonard Wood,
because it is taught at a
distance, we had to consider
the fact that the students
arent in the classroom here,
DeHaven said. Tey are
separated from the instructor.
How do we do the same thing
we would do in a classroom?
Despite the technological
problems, S.A.L.T. has
expanded beyond Fort
Leonard Wood. In October,
the University will collaborate
with the Air Force to provide
classes at Travis Air Force
Base, Calif., and Fort Nix, N.J.
Te Kansas National Guard
has also expressed interest in
language training.
Language classes at the
bases have proved to be very
popular.
We are going to have to
turn students away at this
point, Masten said. We have
had too many applicants.

Students donate nearly $500,000 in items to community
DAVID HURTADO
news@kansan.com
Working with the Center for
Community Outreach (CCO),
over 3,500 KU students
donated their time and nearly
$500,000 in items to the
Lawrence community during
the 2013-14 school year.
Established in 1990, the
CCO is a student-run
organization that encourages
KU students to reach out and
make a diference in their
community.
Agencies who benefted
from these donations include
the Ballard Community
Center, Lawrence Community
Shelter, Te Willow Domestic
Violence Center and Lawrence
Public Schools.
Mia Gonzalez, director of
development and marketing
at the Lawrence Community
Shelter, said the drive allows
the shelter to help additional
people while focusing more
on providing public services,
like fnding employment and
health services.
Particularly last year, we
were distributed Tupperware,
baby products, baby blankets,
bags and things like that for
over $200,000 dollars worth,
Gonzalez said. Te donations
really help our guests focus on
the day-to-day job of recovery
from drugs and alcohol or
abuse if they can have simple
things like a blanket.
Gonzalez said guests at the
shelter are most in need of
items such as socks, shampoo
and clothing for children.
Micah Melia, executive
director of CCO, said the drive
began when the organization
applied through the Today
Show Charitable Foundation
for products to distribute in
the Lawrence community.
She said the program started
by receiving a small number
of donations from the
foundation to give out, but has
greatly expanded since.
Its defnitely grown
and its been very cool for
us to have another way to
maintain contact with local
agencies even if were not
necessarily providing regular
volunteering through one of
our programs, Melia said. I
think its really another way
to make an impact we dont
generally have the capacity to
do ourselves but can through
the program.
During the drive, members
of the CCO executive staf
coordinate the delivery of
donations received with over
30 area agencies.
Melia said generally 3,000 to
4,000 volunteers will come out
and help with the drive. She
said the CCOs goals for this
school year includes increased
awareness of the programs
they provide and additional
students volunteers. Other
programs the CCO sponsors
include Super Service
Saturdays, Into the Streets
Week and Lifeline.
Super Service Saturday is the
CCOs kickof event, intended
to give KU students the
opportunity to get involved
with the Lawrence Community
through volunteer work.
Into the Streets Week is
an annual weeklong event
which highlights volunteer
opportunities across the
Lawrence community. Lifeline
seeks to assist students in
the community with their
educational needs through
one-on-one interactions like
mentoring, tutoring and other
activities.
Emily Ferbezar, former KU
student, said she frst took
interest in what the CCO was
doing through word of mouth
and simply being on campus.
Ferbezar said she has always
loved volunteering and
performing service work for
the community, so she decided
to get involved. At the end of
her junior year, she applied to
be a program coordinator.
Along with Rachel Paxton
and MacKenzie Oatman,
I helped to make this past
springs Into the Streets Week
(ITSW) happen, Ferbezar
said. It was amazing to see all
of our hard work come together
in the end. We spent just
under a year brainstorming
and planning, which then led
to the execution of so many
wonderful events. Being an
ITSW program coordinator
was so meaningful because I
was able to do the things I love
to make students on campus
aware of diferent ways to be
involved in the community.

STATE POLITICS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Jennifer Winn, left, a Wichita business owner challenging Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback in the Republican
primary, speaks during a candidate forum in Junction City on July 16, 2014.
WICHITA Te
Republican Governors
Association is spending
$600,000 on a television ad
buy attacking Kansas Gov.
Sam Brownbacks Democratic
challenger, the group said
Tuesday.
Te conservative
Republican governor is facing
a tougher-than-expected
race against Democrat Paul
Davis for a second, four-
year term amid questions
about whether his aggressive
income tax cuts are boosting
economic growth as
promised or wrecking the
states fnances.
Te debut of the ad came
as the group announced that
its chairman, New Jersey
Gov. Chris Christie, will
be in Kansas City, Kan., on
Wednesday to attend a public
event with Brownback,
followed by two closed
fundraisers for the governor
in nearby Mission Hills.
We dont take any race for
granted, RGA spokesman
Jon Tompson said in an
email. Paul Davis has
tried to mask himself as
a moderate, when that
couldnt be further from the
truth. He is a tax-and-spend
liberal who has consistently
supported Barack Obamas
failed agenda. Kansas voters
have a right to know who
Paul Davis really is, he said
of the ad.
Davis campaign said
Tuesday that he is focused
on his own record of
bringing people together
to support schools, create
jobs and fnd common sense
solutions, noting more than
100 current and former
Republican elected ofcials
have endorsed Davis over the
incumbent governor.
Kansans are deeply
concerned with Sam
Brownbacks experiment
and the damage it is doing
to our schools, communities
and economy, Davis
campaign spokesman
Chris Pumpelly said in an
email. Te Republican
Governors Association
clearly recognizes how out
of step and unpopular Sam
Brownbacks priorities are.
Te 30-second spot accuses
Davis, the Kansas House
minority leader, of spending
his 12 years in ofce voting
against Kansas taxpayers.
Te ads contend Davis
voted to raise sales taxes
and opposed property tax
relief while voting to tax
construction equipment and
farm trucks.
But the Davis campaign
countered that the record
is clear that Davis worked
for Kansas families by voting
to eliminate property tax
on business machinery
and equipment, to cut the
corporate income tax and
to get rid of the sales tax on
groceries and food. Davis
voted against Brownbacks
increase to the sales tax in
2013, and has supported
proposals to provide real
property tax relief as part of
his school funding plans in
2012 and 2014, Pumpelly
said.
Brownback campaign
spokesman John Milburn
declined comment on the
RGAs new ad, but expressed
appreciation for Christies
visit to Kansas in support of
Brownbacks campaign.

Watkins renovations focus on xing lobby area
HALLIE WILSON
@halliew20
Te recent renovations to
Watkins Memorial Health
Center, designed to create a
more welcoming environment
for students, have almost
reached completion.
Te main foor renovation,
which began early last winter,
is virtually completed. Te
redesign is the frst of its kind
since the mid-1990s.
Te renovations make the
lobby look clean and polished,
sophomore Caroline Goble
said. I noticed that it was
brighter and more inviting,
and I think its going to make
a great frst impression on new
students.
Te redesign began when
Watkins Associate Director
Diane Malott sought out a KU
design student to work on the
project. Watkins then created a
plan for the space and worked
with a design frm to make it
come to life.
We really began the project
with the goal of making it
more customer friendly and
up-to-date, Malott said.
To complete the project,
Malott worked with the
photography department to
select some of the art for the
space. Photography students
submitted their own work and
Malott helped to select the
ones that best ft the space.
All of the photographs,
which are in color and
black and white, are of KU
landmarks, Malott said. One
of our murals is going to be
this beautiful photo of the
Campanile at sunset.
Te project was funded
out of the Watkins building
account, which is part of what
students pay as a health fee
each semester, Malott said.
Watkins is all about the
students, so I love this project
because students got behind
the design and behind the
funding, Malott said. It really
is the students place.
Watkins ofers more than
just a comfortable and
updated facility. Te student
health center boasts a staf
that includes board-certifed
physicians and nurses, as well
as lab facilities and a pharmacy
with a full pharmaceutical
staf.
Watkins ofers convenient,
afordable student health
care for basically all services
outside of emergency care,
Malott said.
Some of these services
include vaccinations, x-rays,
doctor visits and prescription
drug pickup. For more

ANNA WENNER/KANSAN
The recently renovated lobby of Watkins Memorial Health Center is part of an effort to make the clinic more inviting for students.
Stress is a perfectly normal
thing, especially in college.
However, it stops being
normal when it starts to afect
your mental health.
According to the National
Alliance on Mental Illness,
more than 40 percent of
college students have felt an
above average amount of
stress within the past year,
but a majority of students
did not seek help or request
accommodations from their
school.
It is very common for
students to feel overwhelmed
when transitioning to college,
Christian Vargas, licensed
psychologist and outreach
coordinator at the University,
said in an email. Its important
for students to focus on having
a routine that includes self-
care and time to do things that
they love.
It is not uncommon for
freshmen to feel more
overwhelmed at the start of
school because on top of their
studies, they are having to
learn to live on their own, do
their own laundry and make
their own schedules, among
other things. Tey are given so
much new information that it
ofen feels like it is too much
to handle.
Tere are so many things
happening during the frst
weeks, between Greek life and
clubs and athletic events, to
school and fguring out the bus
schedule and fnding where
your class is, said Andrew
Martino, a senior from
Overland Park. Its important
to fnd your own balance
of handling the stress from
school and being able to give
yourself a break to go hang
out with friends and meet new
people.
Most universities
have several health and
psychological services to ofer.
According to NAMI, concern
of the stigma associated with
seeking mental help is the
leading reason students do not
use those services.
Mental health issues
arent uncommon and can
prevent a student from being
successful both personally and
academically, Vargas said. It
is important to address mental
health issues as soon as they
are experienced to receive
proper treatment.
According to Guy
Napolitana, M.D. from the
University School of Medicine,
around 27 percent of college
students experience some time
of mental health problem.
Te Counseling and
Psychological Services (CAPS)
ofered at the University
provide students with
individual and group
counseling, along with
psychiatric services for
students who need support
to achieve their goals.
Students should focus on
building their own care plan
to prevent vulnerability to
mental health issues such as
eating a healthy diet, caring
for physical ailments,
exercising, having good sleep
habits and avoiding drugs and
alcohol, Vargas said.
Te staf at CAPS can provide
full assessments and make
treatment recommendations.
If the student needs additional
help outside of the CAPS
services, CAPS will fnd them
help within the community.
Students are encouraged to
seek help when they frst feel
like they may have a problem
because waiting could
potentially make it worse.
Te stress and the anxiety
become a problem when you
begin to feel like you cant
handle it on your own, and
when your grades and health
are slipping, Martino said.
When it begins to hurt your
success, you have a problem.

MENTAL HEALTH
Services offered to combat back-to-school stress
PAIGE STINGLEY

Students should focus on

building their own care plan
to prevent vulnerability to
mental health issues.
CHRISTIAN VARGAS
Licensed psychologist,
outreach coordinator
and specifcally on top of that
now the content they are also
learning, Rossomondo said.
She said the normal price
of a textbook package for two
semesters can cost $300 more
than many students would
want to pay. Using Acceso,
students are only required to
spend $40 per semester for an
online grammar workbook.
Beginning in the fall
semester, Spanish classes
using Acceso will shif from
a more traditional classroom
to a computer lab in Wescoe
Hall redesigned to more easily
accommodate the program.
Te new classroom is
comprised of six workstations,
each equipped with a large,
fat screen monitor and
wireless keyboard and mouse.
Instructors will be able to
project student work from
any station onto all other
monitors, including large
screens at opposing ends of
the room. Students can also
hook up their laptops to the
stations and display their
work at either large screen.
Rossomondo said
instructors made the decision
to shif Acceso into a computer
lab setting afer a long period
of assessing how the material
could be better adapted to
students needs. She said afer
asking students what they
thought about the program,
it became apparent the
traditional classroom wasnt
working as well as it could to
facilitate the type of learning
instructors wanted to do. In
addition, Rossomondo said
transferring students in-class
content from their laptops to
fash drives was showing to be
logistically difcult.
We were ending up losing
10 or 15 minutes of class time,
in a 50-minute class period,
with all of this switching
and thats just not a good use
of time, Rossomondo said.
Acceso material includes
news articles, which discuss
social issues in Spanish
speaking countries, clips of
native speakers from diferent
geographical locations,
almanacs for exploring
signifcant cultural issues to
the region and videos mixing
Spanish narration with text.
Marcus Paccapaniccia,
a junior from Shawnee
enrolled in a Spanish class
for the fall semester, said that
he believed students learning
with Acceso would beneft
from moving from a more
traditional classroom setting
to a computer lab. He said he
thought there would probably
be more homework involved
with the change, but students
would get more practice out
of it.
Tis coming semester
with Acceso, its just the
MySpanishLab. Teres no
textbook to check out, so I
think it depends on how well
its going to be taught in the
classroom, Paccapaniccia
said.

OAKHURST, Calif.
Firefighters gained ground
Tuesday on a blaze in the
foothills near Yosemite
National Park, allowing
some of the 1,000 people
who fled the flames to
return to their homes.
Nearly 1 square mile in
Madera County had been
scorched, revising earlier
estimates that it had spanned
about twice as much ground,
state fire officials said.
Flames erupted Monday
near Oakhurst, a community
of several thousand about
16 miles from a Yosemite
entrance, forcing more than
1,000 people to evacuate
and thousands more to
prepare to leave their
homes. Some residents were
allowed to go home, but
sheriff s spokeswoman Erica
Stuart could not provide an
estimate of how many.
Crews contained 30
percent of the fire, aided by
humidity and calmer winds.
Additional firefighters had
been brought in to attack the
blaze fueled a day earlier by
gusty winds and dry brush.
Were not seeing the fire
expand like we thought,
Madera County Sheriff John
Anderson said Tuesday.
The blaze that destroyed
eight structures did not
affect Yosemite National
Park, and the road leading
visitors to the park reopened
Tuesday. It once threatened
about 500 homes, but the
risk has been minimized,
officials say.
The fire comes amid
Californias third straight
year of drought, creating
tinder-dry conditions that
have significantly increased
the fire danger around the
state and sent firefighters
scrambling seemingly
nonstop from blaze to blaze.
Evacuated residents in
Oakhurst said they had
braced for the worst.
There is nothing you can
do when a fire is raging,
said Clement Williams, 67.
You just have to flee. Its a
real sinking feeling.
Williams and his wife,
Gretchen Williams, 63, were
trying to get information
about the fire and their
home from officials. They
spent the night at a nearby
hotel.
Oakhurst was smoky, and
businesses downtown were
closed as the fire burned
about a mile away. Flames
were not visible from the
downtown area as they
moved away from town
toward a nearby reservoir
and resort community,
state fire spokesman Chris
Christopherson said.

Police attempt
to curb unrest
Te police killings of two
unarmed black men came
barely three weeks apart,
generating immediate and
potentially volatile outrage.
But compared with the
violent afermath of Michael
Browns shooting in Ferguson,
Mo., the fallout from the
chokehold death of Eric
Garner in New York now
seems notable for whats been
absent: no guns pointed at
raging protesters, no billowing
tear gas, no lengthy delay in
revealing an ofcers name, no
National Guard troops.
Te relative
calm in New
York followed
a carefully
c a l i b r a t e d
r e s p o n s e
by city and
police ofcials
intended to
n e u t r a l i z e
p o s s i b l e
unrest. Te
response drew
on the lessons from other
high-profle use-of-force cases
involving black victims that
roiled the city in the late 1990s.
What you want in a
democracy is the ability to
express your concerns, but
you dont want it to spill
over into disorder, Police
Commissioner William
Bratton said in a recent
interview with Te Associated
Press. I think weve had a
very informed and reasonable
response to the issues raised
by everybody. Teres been no
violence.
Initial outrage over Garners
July 17 death was fueled by
an amateur video showing
an arresting ofcer appearing
to put him in a chokehold,
banned under police policy,
and Garner gasping I
cant breathe before falling
unconscious. Te next day
Mayor Bill de Blasio postponed
a family vacation, spoke with
black community leaders and
called a news conference with
Bratton.
De Blasio, a Democrat, called
the death a terrible tragedy
and the video very troubling.
Bratton conceded this
would appear to have been a
chokehold. Both promised a
thorough investigation.
Ofcials say police
commanders reached out
to community activists
and ofered condolences to
Garners family. On July 19,
two days afer the death, the
New York Police Department
released the name of the
ofcer and announced he
had been placed on desk duty
while a prosecutor determines
whether to bring criminal
charges. On July 31, de Blasio
and Bratton sat next to the
Rev. Al Sharpton at a City Hall
roundtable about community
concerns.
Demonstrations afer
Garners death have been
peaceful, even afer the
medical examiner ruled it a
homicide. A rally in Times
Square last week protesting the
deaths of Brown and Garner
resulted in only fve arrests for
minor ofenses and no serious
clashes. NYPD ofcials said
Tuesday theyre in contact with
organizers of a Sharpton-led
march planned for Saturday,
an efort to preserve calm
headed by a Community
Afairs Division stafed with
hundreds of ofcers citywide.
Activist Joo-Hyun Kang,
of Communities United
for Police Reform, said the
departments record on dealing
with outrage over possible
brutality is checkered at best,
pointing to an ugly clash last
year between police in riot
gear and a bottle-throwing
crowd afer the police slaying
of a teenager in Brooklyn. Te
emphasis on
k e e p i n g
order afer
G a r n e r s
death fails
to address
the racial
profling that
caused it in
the frst place
or how these
cases send
the message
that police ofcers are above
the law, she said.
Te challenges harken back
to the torture of Abner Louima
with a broken broomstick by
an ofcer in a police station
bathroom in 1997 and the
death of Amadou Diallo in a
hail of 41 bullets fred by four
white ofcers searching for
an armed rapist in 1999. Both
cases sparked demonstrations
resulting in hundreds of
arrests and frayed then-Mayor
Rudolph Giulianis already
tense relationship with the
black community.
But Howard Safr, police
commissioner under the
Republican Giuliani amid
both crises, says conditions
could have been worse if city
and police ofcials hadnt
taken swif steps to keep the
peace. During a closed-door
meeting afer the Louima
assault, it was decided he
and the mayor should visit
Louima in the hospital and
meet with community leaders
in Brooklyn, Safr recalled on
Tuesday.
Similarly, the pair decided
to attend Diallos funeral afer
the administration concluded,
Tis one has legs and we have
to get on top of it real quick,
he said.
One measure used to quell
unrest was to negotiate
with Diallo demonstrators
and persuade them to use
designated protest areas
policed by ofcers in what
are called sof uniforms,
windbreakers and baseball
caps.
Te department then, as
now, also benefted from
racial diversity in its ranks,
experience with crowd control
at large events including the
New Years Eve celebration
in Times Square and a robust
community afairs operation
geared toward developing
relationships in communities
before tragedy strikes, Safr
said.
In the fnal analysis, police
ofcers are human beings who
make mistakes, he said. You
have to be prepared to deal
with it.
What you want in a

democracy is the ability to
express your concerns, but
you dont want it to spill over
into disorder.

PRESIDENT
Obama heads back to DC
after vacation break in Mass.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
President Barack Obama is
getting of the island.
In a rare move for him, the
president took a break in
the middle of his Marthas
Vineyard vacation to return
to Washington just afer
midnight Monday for
meetings with Vice President
Joe Biden and other advisers
on the U.S. military campaign
in Iraq and tensions between
police and protesters in
Ferguson, Mo.
Te White House has
been cagey about why the
president needs to be back
in Washington for those
discussions. Hes received
multiple briefngs on both
issues while on vacation. Te
White House had also already
announced Obamas plans to
return to Washington before
the U.S. airstrikes in Iraq
began and before the shooting
of a teen in Ferguson that
sparked protests.
Part of the decision to head
back to Washington appears
aimed at countering criticism
that Obama is spending two
weeks on a resort island in the
midst of so many foreign and
domestic crises.
Yet those crises turned the
frst week of Obamas vacation
into a working holiday. He
made on-camera statements
Iraq and the clashes in
Ferguson, a St. Louis suburb.
He also called foreign leaders
to discuss the tensions
between Ukraine and Russia,
as well as between Israel and
Hamas.
I think its fair to say
there are, of course, ongoing
complicated situations in
the world, and thats why
youve seen the president
stay engaged, White House
spokesman Eric Schultz said.
Obama is scheduled to
return to Marthas Vineyard
on Tuesday and stay through
next weekend.
Even though work has
occupied much of Obamas
frst week on vacation, he still
found plenty of time to golf,
go to the beach with his family
and go out to dinner on the
island.
He hit the golf course one
more time Sunday ahead of his
departure, joining two aides
and former NBA player Alonzo
Mourning for an afernoon
round. He then joined wife
Michelle for an evening jazz
performance featuring singer
Rachelle Ferrell. Tey lef for
Washington late Sunday night.
Obamas vacation has also
been infused with a dose
of politics. He headlined a
fundraiser on the island for
Democratic Senate candidates
and attended a birthday
party for Democratic adviser
Vernon Jordans wife, where
he spent time with former
President Bill Clinton and
Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Tat get-together between
the former rivals-turned-
partners added another
complicated dynamic to
Obamas vacation. Just
as Obama was arriving
on Marthas Vineyard, an
interview with the former
secretary of state was
published in which she levied
some of her sharpest criticism
of Obamas foreign policy.
Clinton later promised she
and Obama would hug it out
when they saw each other at
Jordans party. No reporters
were allowed in, so its not
clear whether there was any
hugging, but the White House
said the president danced to
nearly every song.

Garden City beef plant reopening
after 2012 pink slime dispute
STATE
A shuttered Kansas
processing plant that
produced a treated ground
beef product critics dubbed
pink slime plans to reopen
next week with limited
operations amid rebounding
sales, the company said
Tuesday.
Beef Products Inc. said it
planned to start collecting
fresh beef trimmings at
its Garden City facility
beginning Monday to
support its current Dakota
City, Nebraska production
operations. Te Kansas plant
is the frst to reopen since
the company closed three
of its facilities over the 2012
controversy about the meat.
Te Dakota Dunes, South
Dakota-based company
will rehire 40 to 45 workers
for two shifs of fresh beef
trimmings collection and a
third shif cleaning crew at its
Garden City location.
It is good news for that
community, said Jeremy
Jacobsen, a spokesman for the
Dakota Dunes, South Dakota-
based BPI, said Tuesday.
Some 236 workers at the
Garden City plant lost their
jobs in 2012 amid the dustup
over a meat product called
lean, fnely textured beef.
BPI continues to experience
growth and remains confdent
this growth will continue,
Craig Letch, BPIs director of
food quality and safety, said
in a news release. Although
business conditions are not
yet to the point where we can
resume lean beef production
operations in Garden City,
this is certainly a step in the
right direction.
Te uproar prompted
Beef Products to suspend
operations at plants in
Amarillo, Texas; Waterloo,
Iowa; and Kansas that cost
nearly 700 jobs.
Loss of revenue over
the controversy was a
contributing factor in
Cargills shutdown of its
plant in Plainview, Texas,
that employed more than
2,000 people, although the
tight cattle supply played a
larger role in that decision,
Cargill spokesman Mike
Martin said Tuesday. Cargill
also shut down a facility in
Vernon, California, outside
of Los Angeles that further
processed the meat product.
BPI fled a lawsuit in 2012
against ABC News and others,
saying that the networks
coverage prompted consumer
to shun the product and led to
the plant closures and layofs.
BPI said it lost 80 percent of
its business in 28 days.
BPI hasnt said exactly how
much sales have rebounded.

Annual volunteer fair
to be held in Union
Volunteering is one way
students can bulk up their
resumes.
Te University Career Cen-
ter is hosting a volunteer fair
from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on
Sept. 3, on the fourth level of
the Union. Tere will be many
non-proft organizations in
attendance, including Head-
quarters Counseling Center,
GaDuGi Safecenter Inc. and
Habitat for Humanity.
Ann Hartley, associate
director at the University
Career Center, says the vol-
unteer fair gives students
hands-on experience in many
diferent areas.
Its a way to take classroom
experience and apply it out to
the real world; even if youre
volunteering in an area thats
not directly related to your
major, youre going to build
some great skills and make
some great connections with
people, Hartley said.
A few volunteer opportuni-
ties around Lawrence include:
HEADQUARTERS COUNSELING
CENTER
Headquarters Counseling
Center is located at 211 E. 8th
Suite C.
Its mission is to provide
emotional support and safety
to kids, teens and adults.
Rachel Broomburg has been
an ofce assistant at Head-
quarters for more than fve
years and says it provides an
invaluable experience.
Te people here are amaz-
ing and I truly enjoy walk-
ing in the doors every day,
Broomburg said. It is a re-
warding experience that has
taught me a lot about myself
and the rest of the world.
Volunteers train for nine
weeks and spend 80 hours in
training before answering the
phone. Training takes place
Sunday afernoons from
noon to 3:30 p.m. Te infor-
mational meeting for the fall
program is at 6:30 p.m. on
Aug. 27 and Sept. 3 in the
conference room at the coun-
seling center.
If interested in volunteer-

GADUGI SAFECENTER INC.
GaDuGi SafeCenter Inc.s
mission is to work together
with the community to pro-
vide service and strength to
cultivate well-being for all
people afected by sexual vi-
olence. It was established as
a Rape Victim Support Ser-
vice in fall 1972. It has a 24-
hour, seven days a week call
center with volunteers who
have been trained to take calls
from sexual violence victims
and is located at 2518 Ridge
Ct # 202.
Rachel Gadd-Nelson, di-
rector of community out-
reach, says when looking
for volunteers, they look for
people who want to support
survivors of sexual violence,
among other things.
We look for folks who are
really passionate about help-
ing folks who have been af-
fected by sexual violence,
Gadd-Nelson said. We arent
looking for any particular
background or work experi-
ence because we provide all
of that.
Volunteers can work as ad-
vocates or on the Communi-
ty Action Team. Advocates
are trained to work at crisis
services, and the Communi-

HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
Habitat for Humanity helps
families whose incomes are
usually 30 to 60 percent below
the median income level for
Lawrence. Contrary to belief,
Habitat does not give away
houses for free; homeowners
must pay for the mortgage on
the house and work countless
hours to help build their own
homes. Habitat is located at
720 Connecticut St.
Maddie Hinds, Community
Outreach Organizer, says this
organization is a good way for
students to be outside and do
physical labor, and this is one
of the few places that require
teamwork to help get things
done.
Te mission of Habitat for
Humanity, as stated on the
volunteer fair website, is to
provide simple, decent and
afordable housing for low to
moderate income families in
Douglas and Jeferson coun-
ties. We believe in a home-
ownership process that em-
powers families to promote
ongoing change in their lives.
We ofer a hand-up, not a

Three journalists among
latest arrested in Ferguson
ASSOCIATED PRESS
A photographer for the
Getty agency and two Ger-
man reporters were among
the latest journalists arrested
while covering protests in
Ferguson, Missouri, over the
fatal police shooting of Mi-
chael Brown.
At least 10 journalists have
been arrested or detained
since Brown, an unarmed
18-year-old, was killed Aug. 9
by ofcer Darren Wilson. Re-
porters for CNN, Al Jazeera
America and other outlets
say they have been harassed
or physically threatened.
Capt. Ron Johnson of the
Missouri Highway Patrol,
in charge of security in Fer-
guson, said Tuesday that
members of the media have
had to be asked repeatedly
to return to the sidewalks,
because of safety concerns.
In some cases, he said, it was
not immediately clear who
was a reporter, but once that
was established, police acted
properly.
In the midst of chaos,
when ofcers are running
around, were not sure whos
a journalist and whos not,
Johnson said at a news con-
ference. And yes, if I see
somebody with a $50,000
camera on their shoulder, Im
pretty sure. But some jour-
nalists are walking around,
and all you have is a cell-
phone because youre from a
small media outlet. Some of
you may just have a camera
around your neck.
Te arrests and detain-
ments, which have ranged
from several minutes to sev-
eral hours, have been widely
criticized: President Obama
said last week that police
should not be bullying or ar-
resting reporters for merely
doing their jobs. Last Friday,
48 American media organi-
zations, including Te As-
sociated Press, sent a letter
to law enforcement ofcials
in Ferguson, criticizing the
treatment of reporters.
Ofcers on the ground
must understand that gath-
ering news and recording po-
lice activities are not crimes,
the letter read. Te actions
in Ferguson demonstrate a
lack of training among lo-
cal law enforcement in the
protections required by the
First Amendment, as well
as the absence of respect for
the role of newsgatherers. We
implore police leadership to
rectify this failing to ensure
that these incidents do not
occur again.
Overall, at least two peo-
ple were shot and at least
57 arrested during protests
overnight Monday, authori-
ties said.
On Tuesday, Ryan Dever-
eaux of Te Intercept, an on-
line investigative publication,
tweeted that he was arrested
and jailed, then released sev-
eral hours later. Getty pho-
tographer Scott Olson said
Monday that he was arrested
for just doing my job and
eventually released. As with
previous arrests of journal-
ists, no charges were fled
against Olson, who by Mon-
day night was back shooting
photos.
Two German reporters
were arrested and detained
for three hours Monday.
Conservative German daily
Die Welt said correspon-
dent Ansgar Graw and re-
porter Frank Herrmann,
who writes for German re-
gional papers, were arrest-
ed afer allegedly failing to
follow police instructions
to vacate an empty street.
Tey said they followed po-
lice orders.
On Sunday night, Sports
Illustrated reporter Robert
Klemko tweeted that he was
tear-gassed, handcufed and
then released a few min-
utes later. Te Telegraphs
Rob Crilly and the Financial
Times Neil Munshi also re-
ported that they were briefy
detained Sunday.
Last week, Wesley Lowery
of Te Washington Post and
Ryan Reilly of Te Hufng-
ton Post said they were hand-
cufed and put into a police
van afer ofcers came into a
McDonalds where they were
doing some work. Te Wash-
ington Post reported that
Lowery said he was slammed
against a soda machine. Reil-
ly told MSNBC that an ofcer
slammed his head against the
glass purposefully on the
way out of the restaurant.
In the midst of chaos, when

ofcers are running around,
were not sure whos a
journalist and whos not.

Students participate in Mayo research program
REID EGGLESTON
@ReidEggleston
Sifing through the
countless test tubes and petri
dishes that defne a typical
summer research experience
did not sit well with two
budding undergraduate
research students. Instead,
Kelly McGurren and Jordan
Hildenbrand ventured beyond
traditional lab expectations
this summer as part of
the Mayo Clinics 10-week
medical research program.
Originally, neither
McGurren, a junior from
Leawood, nor Hildenbrand,
a junior from Blue Springs,
Mo., had any idea of what
specifcally they would be
studying and what passion
those studies would cultivate.
In fact, Hildenbrand
approached the summer with
a unique mindset altogether.
I was actually expecting the
summer program to turn me
of of research and narrow my
future plans, Hildenbrand
said. But now Im thinking
seriously about pursuing a
dual M.D./Ph.D.
McGurren cultivated a
fondness for stem cells and
the power of regenerative
medicine in the unlikely feld
of porcine biology, using pig
models to determine the efect
diet had on kidney stem cells.
McGurren was aware
from the start of the moral
implications involved in her
research having studied stem
cells in both a scientifc and
religious context, but she
quickly debunked some of the
myths that stood as barriers to
her summertime pursuits.
People assume stem cells
are always embryonic,
McGurren said, referring to
the cells that many claim still
hold the potential for creating
life. But its important to
understand there are other
forms, and they still have
reparative properties.
One of the other forms of
cells that McGurren worked
closely with was mesenchymal
stem cells, which behave
similarly as embryonic cells
but are less shrouded in
controversy.
Why would we not want to
utilize something that could
help us so much? she said.
McGurren also gained
a galvanized appreciation
for funding of the sciences
at academic institutions.
She recalls many of her
experiments were reliant
on access to MRI and CT
technology in order to record
data and support discoveries.
Most people dont
understand how important
research is, McGurren said.
Ofen there are more failures
than successes, but everything
leads to something more,
something greater, down the
line.
Aside from the well-
funded research background
McGurren came from at the
University, she also feels that
the academic preparation she
received for this program was
tantamount to her success.
I hadnt taken anatomy, but
even with basic biology and
basic chemistry, I was well
prepared, she said. Tere
was still a lot I didnt know,
but labs are specifc, and there
are things no class itself could
teach you.
Particularly of use to her
was her experience in the
University Honors program.
My honors courses were
extremely helpful in showing
me how to approach problems
in a diferent way, McGurren
said. KU has pretty high
standards, and these
expectations paid of for me.
As a chemical engineering
major, Hildenbrand brought
a diferent set of skills to
her bioengineering lab, but
was equally satisfed with
the academic background
previous classes provided.
One thing about research:
no one really knows what
theyre doing when they frst
walk in, Hildenbrand said.
But KU prepared me to
think critically with the basic
science knowledge that I had.
Hildenbrand dedicated her
time to studying diseases
ranging from glaucoma to
metabolic acidosis, a kidney
disorder that causes the blood
to become too acidic.
Ten weeks later, her outlook
would be broader than she
had imagined. She attributes
this change of heart to the
students and principal
investigator she was able to
work with and to the unique
research relationship at Mayo
that the University lacks.
Te Mayo Hospital
and graduate school are
right next to each other,
and that allows for a lot of
collaboration between the
two, Hildenbrand said. To
me, it seems like this puts
more emphasis on patient-
centered research.
Both students return
to the University with
a reinvigorated urge to
contribute to its research
community.
Research is viewed as a
solitary thing, but research
done well is really about
others, Hildenbrand said.
McGurrens message for
those looking to get involved
with research over the school
year is one of perseverance,
a quality she knows she
developed afer her experience
at the Mayo Clinic.
You could try 100 times,
and it could not work, but
afer critical reevaluation,
the 101st time could be the
success youre looking for,
McGurren said.
Research is viewed as a sol-

itary thing, but research done
well is really about others.

HOUSING
Construction continues
for new student housing
ALICIA GARZA
@AliciaoftheUDK
Over the next year, housing
at the University will continue
to change in a big way. Te
changes will not only afect
how students live in the years
to come, but are currently
afecting students today.
Te renovations [on Daisy
Hill] are going very well. Te
weather has been cooperating,
and we have managed to
get a lot done, said Diana
Robertson, the director of
student housing.
Te changes on Daisy Hill
are designed to create more
green space on campus. Daisy
Hill is being renovated so that
Engel Road curves around all
the dorms, creating a quad-like
space between them, complete
with a commons area.
While the quad is going up,
McCollum is coming down.
Although the dorm has been
functioning for about 50 years,
housing staf decided that it is
time for something new.
McCollum was at a point
where it needed major
renovations or needed to be
replaced its been operating
for 50 years, Robertson
said. Working with smaller
buildings is preferable in
creating a closer environment
[among students on the hill].
It was also less expensive to
build new dorms than to try
renovating the old one.
Te new common building
on the quad between the new
dorms will serve all dorms
on Daisy Hill, providing
a more close-knit campus
environment between the
students. Downstairs, the
common building will have
a living room, kitchen and
common area, and upstairs,
an academic service area will
provide services for students
seeking help with their
academic work.
WIth the new renovations on
Daisy Hill, many people will
be afected by the new changes.
As an RA, I am really excited
about the new opportunities
that will come with the two
new residence halls on Daisy
Hill, said Isaac Bahney, a
junior from Terre Haute, Ind.
Ive spent time in McCollum
and while the hall has a lot
of character, its very old and
needs to be replaced.
Bahney also agrees with
Robertson that the quad
layout will bring all the halls
closer together.
Like Bahney, Quentin Aker,a
sophomore from Wichita,
Kan., is also excited for the
new buildings.
Future KU students will
really enjoy living in the new
halls and I cant wait to see the
fnished products the plans
look exquisite, Aker said.
Across campus, the
Fieldhouse Apartments
more commonly known as
the basketball housing are
also in production. However,
these apartments will not
only provide housing for
the basketball team, but also
more housing for students
returning to the University.
Te apartments will provide a
new and improved alternative
to the Jayhawk Towers.
Te new student housing is
expected to be functioning
by the beginning of the next
school year.

SEVERE WEATHER
PHOENIX Workers at a
farm saw hundreds of cac-
tuses sweep away in a food.
Drivers on Arizonas main
north-south freeway watched
in shock as muddy waters
submerged the road. Rescu-
ers across the state rushed to
save people trapped in cars
and homes.
Te Phoenix area was bat-
tered by torrential rain
storms Tuesday that caused
severe fooding across the
desert region. Te National
Weather Service said some
areas received more rain
Tuesday than they had all last
summer.
It looked absolutely devas-
tating, said Gov. Jan Brewer,
who was glued to the TV all
day watching the rescues.
For the last 10, 15 years,
weve never seen anything
the likes of this.
A helicopter crew rescued
two women and three dogs
from a home surrounded
by swif-moving waters in a
town about 30 miles north
of Phoenix, while elsewhere
a small trailer park was evac-
uated, a school was fooded
and frst-responders pulled
motorists from partially sub-
merged vehicles.
Te National Weather Ser-
vice issued a fash food
warning for much of the
metro area and north of the
city, where up to 8 inches of
rain fell by midday in some
of the mountainous regions
along Interstate 17, the main
north-south freeway in Ari-
zona.
A river of muddy water
rushed down I-17 about 25
miles north of Phoenix as
motorists changed lanes to
avoid the deluge. A stretch of
freeway was shut down and
reopened later in the day.
In another dramatic rescue,
authorities pulled an elderly
woman from a van stuck in
rushing foodwaters, scenes
repeated across the region
throughout the day as mo-
torists became trapped.
Ofcials said nearly 5 inches
of rain fell around the town
of New River, where a heli-
copter dropped two rescu-
ers onto the roof of a home
afer one had been waving a
white piece of fabric from a
window to draw attention.
Te rescuers later walked the
women and dogs to safety as
the water receded.
It looks like the heavy rain
is pulling out to the east and
northeast out of that area,
Woodall said Tuesday afer-
noon. But with all the rain
that fell this morning, were
going to see continued food-
ing, continued runof proba-
bly into the early evening.
Kathy Mascaro said her
typical 15-minute commute
from home to work in the
Phoenix area more than
doubled because of the traf-
fc nightmares caused by the
fooding.
Its crazy. Youd think, how
could the desert food, but
it really does, Mascaro said.
Ive never seen it this bad.
Ive been here over 20 years
and it has never fooded this
bad.
Te Cox Cactus Farm in
Phoenix was inundated by a
nearby creek as rushing wa-
ters sent workers scrambling
to save their more than 600
varieties of plants, shrubs
and cactuses.
Everything just washed
away, employee Mitch Bell
said. Teres nothing we can
do.
Te desert around Phoenix
sees very little rain most of
the year, so when storms roll
through with such intensity
as they did Tuesday, the wa-
ter has nowhere to go.
With so much rain falling
so quickly, the water doesnt
have a chance to soak into
the hard-packed rocky soil,
meteorologist Gary Woodall
of the National Weather Ser-
vice said.
Arizonas monsoon season
runs roughly from June to
September, when power-
ful storms form with heavy
rain and whipping winds.
Its a phenomenon that oc-
curs each summer when the
winds shif, bringing mois-
ture north from the Pacifc
Ocean and Gulf of Mexico
to produce radical and un-
predictable changes in the
weather.
Sporadic storms were ex-
pected to continue across the
Phoenix area for the next few
days, according to the weath-
er service.
On Tuesday morning, rocks
washed down a hillside onto
I-17 about 60 miles north of
Phoenix, causing several ve-
hicle collisions, but no deaths
or major injuries have been
reported, said Bart Graves,
a spokesman for the Arizona
Department of Public Safety.
Meanwhile, residents of a
small trailer park in Black
Canyon City along a riv-
er about 40 miles north of
Phoenix were evacuated late
Tuesday morning, according
to the Yavapai County Sher-
ifs Ofce.
Tere was minimal food-
ing damage to the park, but
authorities wanted to get
residents to a safe location
because water had damaged
roads in the vicinity, sherifs
spokesman Dwight DEvelyn
said.
Firefghters from Phoenix
and the Daisy Mountain Fire
District on Phoenixs north-
ern outskirts rescued at least
six motorists in separate in-
cidents, Phoenix Fire Capt.
Benjamin Santillan said.
Weve got units jumping
from one car to the next
to the next, Santillan said,
adding that there were no re-
ports of injuries.
Flights from Phoenix Sky
Harbor International Air-
port were delayed up to two
hours while some inbound
planes were diverted to oth-
er airports until the storms
passed.

Russian tourists stranded abroad during crisis
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Last week, tens of thousands
of Russians sunning
themselves on Italian beaches
and Turkish resorts received
an unpleasant surprise: their
tour companies had gone bust,
stranding them and forcing
them to pay double for a ticket
to get home.
Te bankruptcy is the ffh
among major Russian tour
companies in less than two
months a sign that cracks
are appearing in Russias
economy afer a months-long
confict in eastern Ukraine
and an escalating stand-of
with the West.
Its not just sanctioned
Russian billionaires who are
feeling the pinch now
uncertainty over the future has
caused the currency to drop,
hurting the average Russians
ability to travel abroad and
buy imported goods. And as
new sanctions by the U.S. and
the European Union start to
bite, companies worry about a
looming recession and a future
without access to the Wests
massive fnancial markets.
Te more tense the
geopolitical situation, the more
expensive (foreign) currency
will be, said Konstantin Sonin,
an economist at Moscows
Higher School of Economics.
And with sanctions, it
becomes harder for fnancial
institutions to give credit, and
there will be fewer business
projects and fewer goods being
produced. Income and salaries
drop and consumption doesnt
increase.
Te U.S. and the EU have
accused Russia, which
annexed Ukraines Crimean
Peninsula in March, of
fomenting tensions in eastern
Ukraine by supplying arms
and expertise to a pro-Moscow
insurgency, and have imposed
asset freezes and loan bans
on a score of individuals and
companies.
Tour operators, some
of whom are among the
nations oldest, say they have
experienced an unprecedented
slump in demand, which they
blame on the bad political
climate and the depreciation
of the ruble, which has lost
up to 10 percent against the
dollar since January. Te
closure of one tour operator
alone, Labirint, has lef more
than 20,000 people abroad
without a return ticket and
afected another 40,000 who
had already bought travel
packages, tourism ofcials
said.
Te low-cost airline
Dobrolyot, which was
sanctioned by the EU because
it services the Black Sea region
of Crimea annexed by Russia,
has temporarily cancelled all
fights.
Companies also blamed
the collapse in tourism
on Moscows request that
members of the security
service, interior ministry, and
military report where they
travel to. Te move, which
authorities justifed as an
attempt to keep government
employees out of any country
that has an extradition
agreement with the U.S., has
discouraged trips abroad
among the several million
people who work in those
sectors.
Until the recent troubles
in Russias budget tourism
industry, the direct casualties
of Western sanctions had been
few and far between and
rich. Gennady Timchenko,
an oligarch with an estimated
fortune of $14.2 billion who as
a longtime friend of President
Vladimir Putin was hit with
U.S. sanctions, said Sunday he
could no longer fy his private
jet because it was serviced
by American company
Gulfstream. Tough other
companies could in theory
service the plane, he told
Russian news agency ITAR
TASS they would not have the
right replacement parts for
maintenance.
Te collapse of major
tourism companies could be
the frst sign that Russia, which
is reeling from months of
market volatility an estimated
withdrawal by investors of $75
billion in funds, could be at
the start of a lengthy recession.
In July, the International
Monetary Fund slashed its
forecast for 2014 from 1.3
percent to 0.2 percent.
Any attempt by Moscow
to fghting back against the
sanctions is also likely to
come at a high cost to Russian
consumers and investors.
Russia has banned a range of
fruit and vegetable imports
from Poland, in what Polish
government ofcials said was
retaliation for its support
of the latest round of EU
sanctions.
Shares in Russias state
airliner, Aerofot, were trading
down almost 6 percent Tuesday
afer leading business daily
Vedomosti cited anonymous
government ofcials as
saying they were considering
closing the airspace over
Siberia to European fights
heading to Asia. Te move,
allegedly in retaliation for the
EU sanctions on Dobrolyot,
would deprive Aerofot of
payments it receives from
European airlines for the right
to use Russian airspace.
Te government had no
comment on the report, but
Putin said Tuesday he had
ordered ofcials to develop
measures in response to
Western sanctions. He did not
elaborate.
Tough the Russian
government is in relatively
good shape fnancially, with
little public debt, its budget will
be strained this year as revenue
drops from state-owned
companies and new burdens
of infrastructure and pensions
come to bear in Crimea. On
Tuesday, the government said
it would likely use money in
contributions to employees
privately-controlled pension
funds to smooth over holes
in the budget for the second
year running. A report in
Vedomosti estimated that
amount at 300 billion rubles
($8.3 billion).
While Western ofcials say
the main purpose of sanctions
is to target the countrys elite,
so far businessmen close to
Putin have shown little public
intention of backing down and
have only ramped up hawkish,
anti-Western rhetoric in
response to the measures.
During his interview with
ITAR TASS, Timchenko, who
is on the US sanctions list
but has a Finnish passport
and therefore is not on the
equivalent EU list, bragged
that he was ready to spend
more time in his homeland and
expand his growing Russian
and Soviet art collection.
In any situation, Vladimir
Vladimirovich (Putin) is
guided by the interests of
Russia, Timchenko said.
Tere can be no compromise
here, and it doesnt even come
into our heads to argue on the
subject.
The more tense the geopo-

litical situation, the more
expensive (foreign) currency
will be.
KONSTANTIN SONIN

KDHE announces states
rst report of West Nile
State health ofcials say a
man from Republic County has
the rst reported case of West
Nile virus in Kansas this year.
The Kansas Department of
Health and Environment did not
release any more information
about the man in a news release
Tuesday.
West Nile virus can be spread
to people by infected mosquitoes
but not from person to person.
Symptoms range from a slight
headache and low-grade fever
to swelling of the brain and in
rare cases, death.
The state had 92 reported
cases of West Nile last year.
The health department says it
is not found a positive mosquito
sample in Kansas so far this
year.
2 dead in 3-vehicle
Kansas accident
Authorities say two people
have died in a three-vehicle
accident in northeast Kansas.
The Kansas Highway Patrol
says the wreck occurred Monday
evening in rural Leavenworth
County when a westbound
driver sideswiped a trailer being
hauled by an eastbound pickup
before veering into oncoming
trafc. His vehicle hit another
car head-on, killing both drivers.
The patrol identied the
driver of the westbound car as
46-year-old Bart H. Kissinger
of Oskaloosa. The second driver
was 39-year-old Brandon L.
McKinsey of Tonganoxie. No one
else was in either vehicle.
Two people the truck with the
trailer were not injured.

The Center of Everything by Laura Moriarty is the 2014 KU Common Book. Each year, hundreds of submissions for the Common Book are sent in and
judged until only one winner remains.
LAUREN METZLER
news@kansan.com
Hundreds of submissions
were sent in, judged, and
narrowed down until only
one remained. It wasnt a
sweepstakes competition
but rather, the process for
selecting the KU Common
Book this year: Te Center
of Everything by Laura
Moriarty.
As the third Common Book
at the University, this is the
frst one to be authored by a
University English professor.
You cant get much more
relevant than something
thats set at KU, said Deborah
Smith, a professor of ecology
and evolutionary biology and
a member of the Common
Book steering and selection
committees.
In addition to uniting
traditional students, the
book will take on a whole
new role in a new course
at the University called the
KU Academic Acceleration
Program (AAP). Tis
program will take the form of
a specialized course this fall.
Robert Hagen, an
environmental studies
lecturer, will teach the class,
which will be exclusively
for foreign students to help
them acclimate to the cultural
landscape of Kansas.
Te difculties any
freshman has coping with a
big school, away from home
for the frst time, then adding
language challenges, cultural
challenges, being thousands
of miles away from anything
familiar and its really tough,
Hagen said. Te notion
of this AAP program is to
accelerate their integration.
Another new aspect of the
Common Book is the KU
Common Book hashtag,
which is an attempt to bring
the book to the students via
social media.
Well take participation
however we can get it,
Smith said. Even casual
participation is worth it
because part of it is tied in
with freshmen retention.
Te Common Book, like
many other programs for
freshmen, is all about making
new students feel like they
belong at the University,
Smith said.
Assigned or not, it is
no secret that summer
reading does not always
get completed. Tis is
something that Sarah Emery,
a freshman from Fort Collins,
Colo., discovered when she
saw students requesting a
summary of the book on the
Class of 2018 Facebook page.
Its pretty disappointing
that people are using social
media already to get answers
on things that they didnt do,
Emery said.
Although relatable to Emery
at this stage in her life, she
had concerns about the book
being accessible for the male
population due to the fact
that the two main characters
are women. Despite concerns,
Emery is an advocate for
completing the assignment.
I would tell somebody who
didnt read it that they are
really missing out, Emery
said. It truly is the frst
assignment that we get from
KU and people are just being
lazy by not reading it.
Going beyond simply
reading the book, Emery
was able to apply some of
the books themes to her
upcoming experience at KU.
One of the biggest lessons
that I took away from the
book was that [] I wont
have my parents around to
push me to do certain things
or remind me to get my paper
written. Its all up to me.
2014 KU Common Book chosen

Foreign dog breeders
have gone unregulated for
years, shipping puppies so
young and so sick that one
in four died before reaching
a U.S. airport, animal welfare
workers say.
Te U.S. Department
of Agriculture approved
a regulation Friday that,
starting in 90 days, will
require all puppies imported
to the United States to
be at least 6 months old,
healthy, and up-to-date on
vaccinations.
Census Bureau data show
about 8,400 puppies a year
were imported between 2009
and 2013. Because there were
no regulations, however,
the Humane Society of the
United States believes the
numbers were much higher,
said Melanie Kahn, the
societys director of puppy
mill campaigns.
Many of the puppies came
from mills in China and
Eastern Europe, said Deborah
Press, of the American
Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals.
Tis is the second major
USDA efort regarding puppy
mills in the last 12 months.
In September, the agency
enacted what is called the
retail rule: Breeders having
four or more female breeding
dogs have to be licensed if
they are selling to consumers
sight unseen on websites, in
fea markets or in classifeds.
Both the Humane Society
and ASPCA said they
routinely get calls from
people who unwittingly
bought a puppy mill dog
from a foreign or U.S.
breeder, only to have it die
because its illnesses was too
severe to overcome.
It has been hard to track
the number of puppies that
are imported, Kahn said,
but, she said, We have seen
an increase just in the past
few months based on calls
from consumers who bought
teacup puppies from Korea.
Importers have been
sending puppies that are less
than 8 weeks old to the U.S. in
airliners cargo holds, Kahn
said.
Imagine a 6-week-old
puppy from Asia to the
United States. We are talking
about baby animals, she said.
Tey are delicate as it is.
Tey could be shipping 100
dogs in the cargo hold. You
only need one dog to have an
illness and all of them could
have it by the time the plane
lands.
Under the new regulation,
published in the Federal
Register on Friday, violators
can be fned up to $10,000.
Te ban eliminates the easy
access to market that foreign
breeders have had for years,
said Cori Menkin, senior
director of the ASPCA puppy
mills campaign.
But the fght isnt over, Kahn
said: We are not planning to
fght any less than we already
do. Tis means we are taking
steps in the right direction.
Imported pups
must be at least
6 months old

Lawrences largest gathering of
street performers is back for its sev-
enth year for three days of extreme
talent and family fun. From Aug. 22
to Aug. 24, a variety of mesmeriz-
ing artists and musicians occupy
the streets around Lawrence to en-
tertain all ages with favorite acts.
From juggling, fire spitting and
sword swallowing, to illusionists,
escape artists and magicians, the
Busker Festival will impress Law-
rence once again with its variety of
exciting acts.
Performers have come together
from all around the world to show
off their awe-inspiring talent. You
will find not find only local per-
formers but also international
performers whose talent speaks
volumes in any language. Over the
years, the Busker Festival has hosted
acts from Canada, Japan, Australia
and Mexico. This year the festivals
performers come from Canada and
the United States. Many partici-
pants also graduated from the Uni-
versity, including Richard Renner,
the producer of the festival.
You should definitely see USA
Breakdancers, King Pong Ping Pong
Rodeo, Sarah Miss Conception, Sil-
ly People and Bekah Hammond. We
also have a group of local poets per-
forming in their own space called
Poetry Alley, Renner said.
The variety of street performers
gathered around the Lawrence area
have something to offer to every-
one. Michael Trautman, the creator
of the King Pong Ping Pong Rodeo,
fills the streets with the unusual
skill of ping pong ball manipula-
tion. Phil LeConte and Colin Franks
are two friends known as The Silly
People. They have been performing
for 20 years and are notorious for
their free-style comedy.
If neither of those acts sound
intriguing to you, Bobby Maver-
ick will be sure to wow everyone
with his magic and escape artistry.
Check out the Tricks of the Light, a
blend of music, fire, dance, manip-
ulation and magic that will take you
on a ride far beyond your imagina-
tion.
To kick off this wonderful week-
end of crazy and exciting talent,
the Granada will be holding the
Busker Ball as a way of easing into
the festivals chaotic weekend. On
Aug. 21, the Granada will present
an exclusive stage show, followed by
a meet and greet set up to meet all
performers from around the world.
Some of the biggest and best acts
will perform on stage, an opportu-
nity you will not want to miss.
Jessie Pomper, a sophomore from
Chicago, said she recently heard
about the festival.
Id love to see all the different acts
theyve been advertising, Pomper
said.
Not everyone shares in the excite-
ment though. Some students, like
Jared Starr, a junior from Houston,
see the downtown events as an ob-
stacle thrown in front of weekend
fun.
Mass Street is going to be jam-
packed with everyone attending the
festival which makes it impossible
to find parking or walk around to
bars at night, Starr said.
The festival attracts different ages
and kinds of people every year.
With an open mind, you may find
yourself loving every second of it.

arts & features
As the new school year be-
gins, the University welcomes
many incoming students
from all around the world.
However, a good number of
students have not traveled far
for a college education.
Te University campus in
Lawrence currently has more
than 15,600 students attend-
ing from Kansas as in-state
students, with more than
17,600 students across all
University campuses, accord-
ing to the Ofce of Institu-
tional Research and Planning.
Te highest population of
students come from Johnson
County (7,064), followed by
Douglas (1,891), Sedgwick
(1,487), Shawnee (941) and
Wyandotte County (535).
According to the education
analytics company Niche Ink,
58 percent of high school
graduates go to college within
100 miles of home. Niche Ink
also reported that 72 percent
of students stay in-state to at-
tend college.
Hana Nguyen, a junior from
Overland Park, said fnancial
perspective was the big key
for her college decision.
Te main reason I came
to KU was because of the in-
state tuition, Nguyen said.
Also, my parents wanted me
to live close to home so I can
visit them pretty ofen.
While more than half of the
nations high school graduates
stay relatively close to home,
according to Niche Inks anal-
ysis, many students leave for
diferent states for a new ad-
venture.
At the Universitys Lawrence
and Edward campuses, the
top numbers of out-of-state
students come from the states
of Missouri (1,539), Illinois
(879), Texas (591), California
(433), and Colorado (404).
Libby McCollum, a senior
from Fort Collins, Colo.,
continues the tradition in the
family as a fourth generation
Jayhawk.
My frst favorite stufed
animal was a Jayhawk, Mc-
Collum said. I always knew
I wanted to come here.
McCollum said she was able
to experience a new place
right afer graduating high
school.
Lawrence has a lot of simi-
larities to my hometown, but
also living in Kansas has giv-
en me a lot of experiences and
opportunities that I might not
have had by staying in-state
and living close to home,
McCollum said.
While some students travel
hundreds of miles across the
country to attend the Univer-
sity, a lot of international stu-
dents from around the world
travel more than 7,000 miles
to become Jayhawks. As of
fall 2013, the University has
a total of 2,246 international
students from China (875),
Saudi Arabia (258), India
(181), South Korea (134), Ja-
pan (68) and many more.
Debbie Guan moved from
China to the United States to
attend the University Ph.D
program two years ago.
Going to school in the Unit-
ed States is very reputable,
Guan said. Since I want to
teach at a top tier university, I
have to get a great education.

STUDENT LIFE
INTERNSHIPS
MINSEON KIM
name@kansan.com
Summer internships are a
great way for college students
to continue learning and fur-
ther ones career goals over the
break without having to pay
thousands of dollars to attend
summer school.
KU students can view
more than 1,440 internships
through the KU Career Con-
nections website alone every
year. Jayhawks have interned
in more than 20 states and
some students even receive in-
ternships abroad. Internships
are paid or unpaid and many
even count for major-specifc
credit hours, according to the
University Career Center web-
site statistics.
Summer internships can be
especially benefcial as op-
posed to fall or spring semes-
ter internships. Tey allow
students to intern full-time
over the course of two or
three months without having
to worry about completing
an essay before the deadline
or losing sleep time to study
for a test. Being able to focus
on an internship without con-
stantly juggling school and
other extracurricular activities
can improve job performance,
thus forging strong profession-
al connections and contacts.
With paid internships, more
hours available to work equals
more money.
Read below for some success
stories from fellow Jayhawks
who had internships this sum-
mer:
Jaime Hay, sophomore, so-
cial work major: Membership
Management Intern at Girl
Scouts of NE Kansas & NW
Missouri in Kansas City, Mo.,
and Lawrence
I worked from the council
ofce in Kansas City, Mo., as
well as locally in Lawrence at
the United Way Building to
help with recruitment initia-
tives and programs specif-
cally for college students in
volunteer roles. I got to meet
staf from many departments
including STEM Programs,
Mission Delivery, Brand &
Marketing, Fund Develop-
ment, Community Develop-
ment and Community Part-
ners while working mainly
with the Membership Man-
ager for the Lawrence area,
Lori Hanson. In addition to
the staf I worked with, I also
got to meet many of the great
volunteers that help bring the
Girl Scout Leadership Experi-
ence to life for girls As a Girl
Scout Gold Award recipient,
this internship meant a lot to
me. It allowed me to have the
opportunity to work with a
non-proft that has been such a
large part of my life since I was
six years old. To start my sum-
mer, I helped out at day camp
at Hidden Valley Camp in
Lawrence, and as the summer
progressed I was given the task
to engage college students. As
a result of my work this sum-
mer, a new student group has
been created on campus
with the hope of developing
similar groups at other univer-
sities in our council. KU Girl
Scouts is open to all students
with or without previous Girl
Scout experience who have a
passion to help build girls of
courage, confdence and char-
acter, who make the world a
better place.
Jefrey Kaplan, senior, psy-
chology major: Tennis Courts
intern at Western Southern
Open
I was a [tennis] courts intern
at the Western Southern Open
in Cincinnati, Ohio. On a day
to day basis, I changed nets for
the matches that had to take
place, as long as made sure
the court was supplied and
stocked with the appropriate
amount of liquids, towels and

STUDENTS FROM IN-STATE
Tis years annual Night
on the Hill concert will
feature electronic music duo
Te Knocks. Te group will
perform on the Aug. 23 at 9
p.m. in the Memorial Stadium
parking lot. Te Student Union
Association has been putting
on the event for the past six
years to welcome students
back to school.
Te Knocks are made up
of Ben DJ B-Roc Ruttner
and James JPatt Patterson.
Tey both write and produce
electronic music in the
Nu Disco genre. Before
performing their own music,
they produced music for artists
including Katy Perry, Britney
Spears and Rihanna. Tey also
remix popular music, such as
Haim and the 1975. Te pair,
who was signed to Neon Gold
Records, have several singles
including Make it Better and
Dancing with the DJ, as well
as several mixtapes including
the latest, Peanut Butter and
Swelly and Classic.
We booked them back in
April before they got really
big this summer, said Dustin
Wolfe, a senior from Sealy,
Texas, and SUAs Live Music
Coordinator. A few other
under-the-radar bands were
considered before Te Knocks
were chosen. All of their
music is available to listen to
on Soundcloud.
I like how their music
is upbeat and something
everyone can dance to. It is
catchy and not too intense,
said Pat McQuillan, a junior
from St. Paul, Minn., who is a
part of the committee for live
music with SUA and KJHK.
Night on the Hill is put on for
students to get comfortable,
and their sound is really good
for that kind of atmosphere.
SUAs Night on the Hill is
free and open for any student
to come out and enjoy.

STRESS
When school is in full swing
and the stress overload gets
overwhelming, a getaway is
much needed. While Netfix
in your dorm bed is glorious
when youre stressed out,
sometimes going outdoors is
really all you need. Tankfully
you dont have to go far.
Clinton State Parks 1,500
acres are gorgeous with miles
of trees, a shimmering lake
and diverse wildlife. Te
park is accessible to even the
students without cars willing
to make the four-mile trek
from campus.
Cyclists can enjoy a rough
and rocky 25-mile bike route
that circles the northeast side
of the Clinton reservoir. Park
signs guide you through the
winding trails on the north
side of the park, which are
perfect for a midday run or
just a stroll through the forest.
If youre just looking to
lounge out and enjoy the
beautiful view, small beaches
and overlooks are wonderful
for taking a swim or just
dipping your toes in.
While Clinton Lake ofers
glorious opportunities for
getting away from reality for
an hour to an afernoon, there
are also campgrounds for
overnight adventures. Clinton
Lake has extensive cabins and
plenty of campground space.
Stephen Hicks, a senior
from Houston, is no stranger
to the Clinton Lake campsites
and trails. Although the park
has a full-time staf and maps
to aid trail-goers, Hicks said
he prefers the uncharted
territory. Clinton Lake can
lead you around in circles,
which can be unnerving.
But to a thrill seeker, the
outdoors can take you on a
real adventure.
I kind of have a preference
to not know where Im going
sometimes, Hicks said.
Hicks said he enjoys the
natural beauty of Clinton
Lake when he needs a
moment in nature either
solo or with friends. Hicks
suggests bringing friends
when exploring, especially if
its your frst time at Clinton.
Camping at Clinton Lake
can be a unique weekend
activity and is inexpensive
when you rent equipment
from the Ambler Student
Recreation Fitness Center.
Te Rec allows students to
rent equipment such as tents,
kayaks, bikes and backpacks.
Te KU Adventure Club
can also help you fnd other
students who are interested in
the same trips and experiences
as you are. Maureen Costello,
a senior from Johnsburg, Ill.,
is a leader of the Adventure
Club. She said club members
frequently take camping trips
and day trips out to Clinton
Lake. She said a group has
camped and gone kayaking
there in the past.
Whether youre looking
for a walk through the trees
to catch your breath or an
exciting weekend in the
woods with some friends,
there are plenty of things to
do at Clinton State Park.

Cowabunga! Ninja Turtles
bring the box-ofce power
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles
sliced of $65 million at the
weekend box ofce.
Paramount Pictures
comic-book adaptation
featuring Megan Fox
alongside computer-
generated renditions of
the pizza-eating, sewer-
dwelling superheroes lunged
into frst place in its debut
weekend, according to
studio estimates Sunday. Te
action flms totally tubular
result prompted the studio to
announce plans Sunday for a
sequel set for June 3, 2016.
Megan Colligan,
Paramounts head of
domestic marketing and
distribution, said the success
of the Ninja Turtles reboot
was mostly derived from a
pair of distinctly diferent
audiences: men who fondly
remembered the 1980s and
90s franchise that spawned
a cartoon series, toy line and
a live-action flm trilogy,
and youngsters familiar
with a newer Nickelodeon
animated TV series.
Its odd when you have
25- to 35-year-olds and then
7- to 12-year-olds really
excited about the same flm,
Colligan said. Te teen
audience was actually the
one that wasnt as familiar
with the property, so we
put a lot of focus on teens.
I think we did a great job
of getting them out there to
see the flm, which is so fun,
refreshing and unique.
Ninja Turtles, which
also stars Will Arnett and
William Fichtner, made an
additional $28.7 million in
international markets such
as Russia, Mexico, Malaysia,
Singapore and Taiwan,
bringing its worldwide total
to a radical $93.7 million.
Marvel Studios Guardians
of the Galaxy slid into
second place in its second
weekend with $41.5 million,
bringing its total domestic
haul to $175.9 million.
Te total worldwide box
ofce for the cosmic romp
starring Chris Pratt, Zoe
Saldana and Dave Bautista as
members of an intergalactic
band of do-gooders stands
at $313.2 million. Marvel
and Guardians distributor
Disney revealed last month
at San Diego Comic-Con
that a follow-up is planned
for 2017.
Guardians and Ninja
Turtles are coming to the
rescue of an otherwise shell-
shocked summer box ofce,
which is still down more
than 16 percent over a year
ago.
Tis is the third weekend
in a row weve had a flm
overperform, said Paul
Dergarabedian, senior media
analyst with Rentrak. Its
fnally starting to feel like
summer. Te perception of
August used to be that it was
the month of the B-sides, not
the hits. Te movies are now
defning what August can be,
not the month defning what
the movies should be.
Lucy was another recent
success. Te mind-bending
Scarlett Johansson flm came
in ffh place this weekend
with $9.3 million in in its
third outing.
Several newcomers
debuted distantly behind the
heroes on the half-shell this
weekend.
Te Warner Bros. disaster
flm Into the Storm
touched down in third place
with $18 million, while the
Disney culinary drama Te
Hundred-Foot Journey,
starring Helen Mirren,
arrived in fourth place with
$11.1 million. Summits
dance sequel Step Up All
In popped up in sixth place
with $6.5 million.

FRESHMEN
Guide to important places
and traditions on campus
RYAN WRIGHT
@RyanWrightUDK
Welcome to the University of
Kansas. Now that youre here,
youve probably heard about
the Campanile and about a
place called Wescoe Beach. If
you havent fgure out exactly
what they are yet, youre in the
right place.
ROCK CHALK
Rock Chalk is one of the
most iconic phrases in the
world, but most people dont
know the history behind it.
According to Professor Jefrey
Moran, the chair of the history
department at the University,
Rock Chalk is an inversion
of chalk rock. Chalk rock is the
limestone that can be found
nearly everywhere in Kansas,
especially when you try to dig.
Student ambassador Culin
Tompson said that the
Rock Chalk Chant evolved
from a cheer that chemistry
professor E.H.S Bailey created
for his science club in 1886.
Tompson said that Professor
Bailey used the cheer at science
competitions and when the
University called for a campus
chant, Professor Bailey
submitted his. Later it evolved
to Rock Chalk Jayhawk KU
which is used today.
ITS NOT A BEACH IS IT?
Wescoe Beach is one of
the most popular places on
campus. Every day youll spot
many
students meeting up with
friends or relaxing, but why is
it called Wescoe Beach?
Moran said Wescoe Beach
is named afer Chancellor
Clark Wescoe because he had
the entire area covered with
sand from the Caribbean for
students on campus to play
sand volleyball.
THE CAMPANILE
Te Campanile is a 120-foot-
tall bell tower which was built
as a World War II memorial in
1951, according to
Tompson. Te bell plays the
Westminster chimes every
quarter hour between 7 a.m. to
9 p.m. It is University tradition
to walk through the Campanile
into Memorial Stadium during
graduation. It is rumored that
if students walk through the
Campanile before graduation
they will not graduate on time.
THE WONDERFUL WORLD
OF SNOW HALL
Snow Hall is one of the most
recognizable buildings on
campus and it is easily one of
the more aesthetically pleasing.
Its rumored that the building
was designed afer Snow
Whites castle because the
architects daughter was a big
fan of Disney, but Tompson
confrmed this to be incorrect.
According to Jefrey Moran,
Snow Hall precedes the Disney
castles by many years. Moran
said that when it was built,
every university in the country
was following the style known
as university gothic and was
under the impression that a
real university was supposed
to look like a late-medieval
monastery.
THE PHOG
Allen Fieldhouse is one of the
most special places in college
basketball. Its rich history is
unrivaled. Allen Fieldhouse
opened and hosted its frst
basketball game in 1955,
where the the University of
Kansas defeated Kansas State
University. Te Fieldhouse is
the oldest in the Big 12 and will
celebrate its 60th birthday this
season. Te DeBruce Center,
a new building which will be
built next to the Fieldhouse,
will host Dr. James Naismiths
original rules of basketball
which were purchased by the
Booth Family to be displayed
at the University.
Jim Marchiony, Associate
Athletics Director, shared a
little known fact about Allen
Fieldhouse. Marchiony said
construction of the Fieldhouse
was delayed in the 1950s
because of the scarcity of steel
due to the Korean War. Te
University received permission
to build the Fieldhouse afer
emphasizing the use of the
building for ROTC purposes.
Now that you know most of
the important things about
the structures and sayings of
the University, youre ofcially
ready to begin your journey.
Company to digitize 500
of Andy Warhols lms
FILM
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Andy Warhol made more
than 500 flms between
1963 and 1972. Some ran
for eight and a half hours
while others lasted four
minutes. Soon afer he was
shot in June 1968, Warhol
withdrew most of his early
art flms from circulation.
Afer his death in 1987, a
handful of those flms went
back in circulation through
the Museum of Modern
Arts flm library.
Now, Te Andy Warhol
Museum in Pittsburgh and
the Museum of Modern
Art (MoMA) in New York
City will partner with a
Technicolor company called
MPC to make the flms
available in digital format.
Work begins this month
in New York City on nearly
1,000 rolls of original 16
mm flm, which will be
digitally scanned, frame
by frame. Each frame will
be converted into a high
resolution image that is 2K,
or two times the resolution
quality of typical high
defnition television.
Te project, which covers
more than a million feet of
flm, will last several years
because the process takes
time and requires careful
handling of the original
16 mm flms. Not all of
the flms, which have been
housed at MoMA since
the 1990s, are ready to be
scanned because they must
frst undergo conservation,
said Rick Armstrong, a
spokesman for Te Andy
Warhol Museum. Te
flms are among the most
frequently requested works
in MoMAs circulating
library.
Te digitization project
is a joint efort by MPC,
an Oscar-winning creative
studio that crafs spectacular
visual experiences and
Adstream, an Australian
company that provides
digital asset management.
MPC has produced visual
efects for such flms as

Patrick Moore, deputy
director of Te Andy Warhol
Museum and adjunct
curator for this project,
said MPC employees are so
excited about the work that
some of them are moving
from the companys London
ofce to New York City.
We truly do view the
flms as being as important
as a painting. Imagine if
you found out that there
were 100 unknown Warhol
masterpieces sitting in a
warehouse. Tats how we
view this unseen material.
Many of the times when
we show the flms, we dont
have 16 mm projection
capability. We have to work
from less than ideal digital
transfers, Moore said.
Once the flms are digital,
they can be shown in their
fnest form, he added.
Warhol loved Hollywood
cinema but his work was
infuenced by Jack Smith
and other flmmakers
working in Downtown
New York during the 1960s,
Moore said.
Warhols flms, Moore
said, have a do-it-yourself
disregard for technical
quality and a very naughty
and precocious sense of
humor in just making it up
as you go along. Warhol had
this interesting idea that
it was OK if the flm was
boring or aggravated the
audience.
Jack Smith, whose
43-minute erotic movie,
Flaming Creatures, was
censored in New York,
appeared in some Warhol
flms.
A New York judge deemed
Flaming Creatures
obscene. Police seized the
flm when it was screened
in April 963 at the Bleecker
Street Cinema in New York
City.
Andy flmed the screening
and that flm was seized
by the New York Police
Department and never
recovered, Moore said.
Warhol had a successful
commercial, dual projected
flm called Chelsea Girls,
which was distributed in
1966.
It has been shown here
and at MOMA. its long
and its difcult and it has
no narrative, Moore said,
adding that it includes
many screen tests, solo
monologues and people who
are obviously enjoying some
controlled substances.
Te project will last two
years, Moore said.
We have to really make
sure that we have all of the
data on the flms correct.
We are working with
the Whitney Museum of
American Art to ensure that
we are all using the same
titles, he said.
Research on Warhols flms
is being done by curators at
the Whitney and part of that
efort involves determining
exactly how many flms the
artist made. In 2017, Yale
University Press will publish
the defnitive catalog of
Warhols flms. Te same
academic press published
volume one of Callie
Angells work on Warhols
flms. A well-known flm
scholar, Angell died in
2010 at age 62.
Moore could not
quantify the cost of the
project because MPC is
doing it for free.
MPC is doing this as
a gif. We never went out
and costed it in that way.
We assumed it would be
much more than we could
possibly aford. Tey are a
part of Technicolor. Tey
have the capacity to do
this in a way that a normal
lab would not. Tey scan it
at such a high level that it
becomes the new master for
the flm, Moore said.
Some of the fruits of
this project will be shown
later this year when ffeen
Warhol flms that have
never been seen by the
public will premiere Oct.
17 at Carnegie Music Hall
in Pittsburgh. Te event,
Exposed: Songs for Unseen
Warhol Films, will feature
live musical performances
by Tom Verlaine, Martin
Rev, Dean Wareham,
Eleanor Friedberger and
Bradford Cox.
MPC is doing this as a gift.

We never went out and costed
it in that way. We assumed it
would be much more than we
could possibly afford.

McDonalds confronts unhealthy image
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
In the past 18 months, McDonalds has implemented various measures to try to reverse its junk food image. The restaurant has added healthier
options to its menu, including substituting salads for fries in combo meals and adding mandarin orange slices to Happy Meals.
NEW YORK At a
dinner McDonalds hosted
for reporters and bloggers,
waiters served cuisine
prepared by celebrity chefs
using ingredients from the
chains menu.
A Kung Pao chicken
appetizer was made with
Chicken McNuggets doused
in sweet and sour sauce
and garnished with parsley.
Slow-cooked beef was served
with gnocchi fashioned out
of McDonalds french fries
and a fruit sauce from its
smoothie mix. For dessert, its
biscuit mix was used to make
a pumpkin spice biznut, a
biscuit-doughnut hybrid.
Te event, held in New York
Citys Tribeca neighborhood,
was billed A transforming
dining experience of fast
food to good food served
fast. Attendees tweeted
out photos and the night
was written up on various
websites.
Te dishes arent intended
for McDonalds restaurants.
Instead, the evening is part
of a campaign by McDonalds
to shake its reputation for
serving cheap, unhealthy
food. At a time when
Americans are playing closer
attention to what they eat,
the company is trying to
sway public opinion by frst
reaching out to the reporters,
bloggers and other so-called
infuencers who write and
speak about McDonalds.
Its just one way McDonalds
is trying to change its image.
In the past 18 months,
the chain has introduced
the option to substitute
egg whites in breakfast
sandwiches and rolled out
chicken wraps as its frst
menu item with cucumbers.
Last fall, it announced plans
to give people the choice of
a salad instead of fries in
combo meals. And in coming
months, mandarins will be
ofered in Happy Meals, with
other fruits being explored as
well.
McDonalds declined to
make an executive available
for this story, but CEO Don
Tompson said early this
year: Weve got to make sure
that the food is relevant and
that the awareness around
McDonalds as a kitchen
and a restaurant that cooks
and prepares fresh, high
quality food is strong and
pronounced.
Te company faces an uphill
battle, especially if the past is
any indication. Te salads
it introduced more than a
decade ago account for just 2
to 3 percent of sales. And the
chain last year discontinued
its Fruit & Walnut salad
and premium Angus
burgers, which analysts said
were priced too high for
McDonalds customers at
around $5.
Te problem is that some
people dont consider
McDonalds a place to get high
quality food, in part because
the prices are so low. And
while McDonalds has added
salads and a yogurt parfait
to its menu over the years,
Americans are gravitating
toward other attributes, like
organic produce and meat
raised without antibiotics.
People just dont think
of McDonalds as having
that premium quality, said
Sara Senatore, a restaurant
industry analyst with
Bernstein Research.
In some ways, the image
McDonalds is battling is
ironic, given its reputation
for exacting standards with
suppliers. Tompson has also
noted the ingredients tend to
be fresh because restaurants
go through them so quickly.
Te produce and the
products that we have at
breakfast and across the
menu are fresher than no
disrespect intended what
most of you have in your
refrigerators, he said at an
analyst conference in May.
But even that reputation
for supply chain rigor was
recently tarnished when the
chains longtime supplier was
reported to have sold expired
meat to its restaurants in
China.
Te Price Conundrum
Te low-cost burgers, ice
cream cones and other food
that made McDonalds so
popular since it was founded
in 1955 have come to defne
it. And some people cant get
over the idea that low prices
equal low quality.
Its the whole perception
people get when you sell
something cheaply, said
Richard Adams, who used to
own McDonalds restaurants
in San Diego and now
runs a consulting frm for
franchisees.
Anne Johnson, for instance,
said she eats at McDonalds
because she can get a burger,
fries and drink for about $5.
But Johnson, a New York
resident, doesnt think there
are any healthy options there.
Basically, its junk food,
she said.
Adding to its challenge,
McDonalds cant seem to
raise prices without driving
people away. Pressured by
rising costs for beef and other
ingredients, the chain tried to
move away from the Dollar
Menu in 2012 with an Extra
Value Menu where items
were priced at around $2.
But customers are
apparently righteous about
the $1 price point, and the
strategy was scrapped. Last
year, McDonalds changed its
tactic a bit, hoping not to turn
of customers. It tweaked the
name of the Dollar Menu to
the Dollar Menu & More.
McDonalds low prices also
are part of what keeps it from
competing with places such
as Chipotle, which is touting
the removal of genetically
modifed ingredients from
its menu, and Panera, which
recently said it will eliminated
all artifcial ingredients by
2016. Such moves would
be Herculean feats for
McDonalds, given its pricing
model and the complexity of
its menu.
Meanwhile, the company
acknowledges there are
problems with how people
perceive its food. A lot of our
guests dont believe our food
is real, said Dan Coudreaut,
director of culinary
innovation at McDonalds, in
an interview last year.
Te image of McDonalds
food is a growing concern
for the company at a time
when U.S. sales have been
weak for two years. Te last
time McDonalds managed to
boost a monthly sales fgure
at home was in October,
and the company warns its
performance isnt expected to
improve anytime soon.
McDonalds has said it has
other problems, including
slow and inaccurate service at
its restaurants. But improving
perceptions about its food is
also a priority.
Following the dinner
in New York last fall, the
company hosted a similar
event last month for reporters
covering the Essence Festival
in New Orleans. Beignets
flled with grilled chicken
and dusted with sugar were
served alongside a packet of
McDonalds honey mustard
sauce.
Other chef events in local
markets are planned for
coming months, according to
Lisa McComb, a McDonalds
spokeswoman. She declined
to provide details but said
the events will be a spin on
a recent contest between two
friends to make a gourmet
dish out of a Big Mac meal.
McComb said McDonalds
wasnt associated with that
particular contest, which was
posted online.
Te company continues
to tweak the menu, too. Te
new Bacon Club burger
McDonalds is promoting
comes on a brioche bun and
looks more like something
that might be found at a
trendy burger joint. It costs
$5 or $6, depending on where
you live, making it the most
expensive sandwich on the
menu.
In Southern California,
McDonalds also is testing
a Build Your Own Burger
concept, with the patties
being cooked to order more
slowly on a separate grill.
Beyond the menu, the
company is determined to
take control of its narrative.
Were going to start really,
really telling our story in
a much more proactive
manner, said Kevin Newell,
U.S. brand and strategy ofcer
for McDonalds said late last
year.
He added that McDonalds
has gone too long in letting
other folks frame the story for
us.
Were going to start really,

really telling our story in
a much more proactive
manner.

FASHION
Five must-have items for your fall wardrobe
DELANEY REYBURN
@DelaneyReyburn
Staying fashion forward
can be difcult with a college
students tight budget and
schedule. But with fve simple,
but necessary, fashion items,
students can be stylish and
practical this fall, whether they
are out on Jayhawk Boulevard
or roaming Massachusetts
Street on a Saturday night.
Women
1) Converse
2) Harem pants
3) Oversized sweater
4) Scarf
5) Combat boots
Teres a style of Converse
for everyone. Tey range in
a variety of colors, heights,
patterns and designs, which
make them easy to pair with
sweatpants or a summer
dress. Converse shoes are
comfortable and closed-toe,
making them practical for
working, walking around
campus or keeping your feet
sanitary at the Hawk.
Harem pants are fashionable
sweat pants that tighten at the
ankles and can be found in
every possible pattern.
No one really wants to dress
cute for class, especially if
we dont have to, but you feel
better about yourself when you
know you look decent, said
Ashley Stein, a sophomore
from Plymouth, Minn. I
love harem pants, which I
call my party pants, because
I can wear them anywhere by
dressing them up or down.
An oversized sweater is an
afordable item that can be
found almost anywhere. It
can be thrown over leggings
with boots for a simple day of
shopping or paired with heels
for a night out. You can even
throw it over a pair of running
shorts to complete the perfect
outft for a lazy day around
campus.
Scarves can keep you warm
and cozy or accessorize an
outft.
Scarves are so simple but
can be the determining factor
between a blah outft and a
wow outft, said Gabby Bux,
a sophomore from Chicago.
Haley Wiaz, a sophomore
from Bufalo Grove, Ill., said
she loves combat boots and
isnt the only college girl
who loves their convenience.
Combat boots can be paired
with any outft for almost any
occasion.
Tey match jeans, leggings,
skirts, dresses, and you can
wear them to class or out at
night, Wiaz said. And they
make me feel like Im in the
Army.
Men
1) Quarter zip sweatshirt
2) Cargo shorts
3) KU jersey
4) Baseball hat
5) Sperry boat shoes
Any college man can rock
the quarter zip. Quarter
zip sweatshirts come in all
diferent materials, which
make the style practical for
multiple occasions. Pick out a
classy one to make a statement
at a tailgate or fnd yourself a
comfy feece to throw on for
class. Wherever youre headed,
the quarter zip is an essential
fall item for all college men.
Rarely do you go anywhere
on or around a college campus
and not see men in cargo
shorts. Cargo shorts are the
safe haven of pants and are
practical in almost every
situation. Tey are easy to
dress up and easy to dress
down, making them another
essential fall must-have. Tey
can be found in diferent colors
and patterns, allowing them
to be paired with a variety of
shirts and jackets.
Stay spirited this fall and
rock a KU jersey. Its a perfect
fashion item to be worn to
class, a tailgate, a football game
or to dinner with friends.
Tis fall must-have can get a
little pricey, but the use youll
get out of it is well worth the
investment.
Its hard to argue that a baseball
hat isnt an essential item to a
mans fall wardrobe. Its practical
and inexpensive. Baseball hats
come in so many diferent
styles that theyre easy to wear
with any outft. Senior Mitch
Hoyt from San Ramon, Calif.,
said, Guys wear baseball hats
because they are cool and you
can wear them with anything.
And the ladies love them.
Sperrys are comfy boat
shoes you can wear to class, an
interview, work, a night out,
tailgates and even games
whats not to love? Sperry shoes
are a great way to complete your
fall wardrobe.
All of these items are
afordable and easy to fnd.
Keep up with the practical fall
fashion and start of the new
school year in style by spicing
up your wardrobe with fve
simple items.

I worked on the National

Project. Our company con-
tracted with Ameren Illinois,
a major electricity provider
in Illinois, to complete this
project. My job required me
to travel to towns all over the
state of Illinois to do safety
inspections on the electric
services on houses and, oc-
casionally, businesses. When
I did these inspections, I
looked for safety violations
such as building contact
(the service wire, or power
line, was touching the house
somehow) or a clearance is-
sue (the line was too low over
the yard, driveway, street,
pool, etc.). Once I identifed
the problem, I flled out a re-
port that included measure-
ments and pictures of the
violation and then came up
with a solution for how the
problem could be fxed on
the spot. Te recommenda-
tions I made then went into
a letter that was sent to the
customer to notify them that
the electric service on their
home had a violation I
was able to learn a lot about

JOB FROM PAGE 1
PIERRE, S.D. Laura In-
galls Wilder penned one of
the most beloved children's
series of the 20th century, but
her forthcoming autobiogra-
phy will show devoted "Little
House on the Prairie" fans a
more realistic, grittier view of
frontier living.
"Pioneer Girl: Te Annotat-
ed Autobiography" Wilder's
unedited draf that was writ-
ten for an adult audience and
eventually served as the foun-
dation for the popular series
is slated to be released by the
South Dakota State Historical
Society Press nationwide this
fall. Te not-safe-for-children
tales include stark scenes of
domestic abuse, love triangles
gone awry and a man who lit
himself on fre while drunk.
Wilder and her daughter
Rose Wilder Lane, herself a
well-known author, tried and
failed to get an edited version
of the autobiography pub-
lished throughout the early
1930s. Te original rough
draf has been preserved at the
Laura Ingalls Wilder Historic
Home and Museum in Mans-
feld, Missouri, for decades but
hadn't been published.
Te children's series nev-
er presented a romanticized
version of life on the prairie
in "Little House in the Big
Woods," Laura and her sister
Mary gleefully help dissect the
family pig before bouncing its
infated bladder back and forth
in the yard. But the series also
lef out or fctionalized scenes
that Wilder deemed unsuit-
able for kids, including much
of the time the family spent in
Burr Oak, Iowa, and Walnut
Grove, Minnesota, according
to Pamela Smith Hill, a Wilder
biographer and the lead editor
on the autobiography.
"So you can read 'Pioneer
Girl' as nonfction rather than
fction and get a better feeling
of how the historical Ingalls
family really lived, what their
relationships were and how
they experienced the Ameri-
can West," she said.
Wilder details a scene from
her childhood in Burr Oak,
in which a neighbor of the In-
galls' pours kerosene through-
out his bedroom, sets it on fre
and proceeds to drunkenly
drag his wife around by her
hair before Wilder's father
Pa in the children's books
intervenes.
Scenes like that make Wild-
er's memoir sound like it's
flled with scandal and mature
themes, "which isn't exactly
true either," according to Amy
Lauters, an associate professor
of mass media at Minnesota
State University-Mankato.
"It's just that that frst ver-
sion was blunt, it was honest.
It was full of the everyday sorts
of things that we don't care to
think about when we think
about history," said Lauters,
who has read the original
manuscript and also is writing
a book on Rose Wilder Lane.
"And it's certainly not the fan-
tasized version we saw on 'Lit-
tle House on the Prairie' the
television show."
Wilder's story will likely do
well in South Dakota, since the
author moved to De Smet in
the late 1870s with her family,
eventually meeting her future
husband there.
For fans, the autobiography
is chance to see from where
Wilder drew her inspiration,
said Sandra Hume, a Wild-
er afcionado who published
an internationally distributed
newsletter for 10 years and
now helps manage Laura-
palooza, a conference dedicat-
ed to all things Wilder.
"I am very excited to see peo-
ple have access to this, because
her life story has been pretty
muddled because people get
mixed up with the TV show
and it's nice to see an interest
in people seeing basically what
is the primary source ..." she
said.
Te autobiography preserves
Wilder's original rough draf
misspellings, idiosyncrasies
and all but adds extensive
annotations.
"Little House" lovers can
learn about the three girls that
Wilder combined to create the
Nellie Olson character, or how
extensive the damage was in
Minnesota during the grass-
hopper plague of the 1870s,
which forced Pa in "On the
Banks of Plum Creek" to set
out in search of work.
"In some ways, I came to
think of the annotations in
'Pioneer Girl' as almost an en-
cyclopedia about Laura Ingalls
Wilder's life and work," Hill
said.

Longtime SNL announcer Don Pardo dies at 96
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK Few would
recognize his face, but most
knew his voice: the booming
baritone that for nearly four
decades heralded Saturday
Night Live.
Don Pardo, the eras-
spanning radio and TV
announcer whose resonant
voiceover style was celebrated
for its majesty and power,
died Monday in Arizona at
the age of 96.
He became our link to the
beginnings of television on
NBC and radio, said Lorne
Michaels, who, as creator of
SNL (and who remains its
executive producer) hired
Pardo.
Pardos strong jaw and
leading-man smile were
seldom on display, but for
more than 60 years his elegant
pipes graced newscasts, game
shows (during the original
run of Jeopardy!, its emcee
ritually called on him to Tell
em what theyve won, Don
Pardo) and especially SNL,
where he played an integral
role through last season,
heralding the lineup, like
always, as recently as the May
fnale.
Tere was no greater thrill
than hearing Don Pardo
bellow your name for the frst
time in the opening credits
of Saturday Night Live,
said longtime cast member
Tina Fey. It meant you were
ofcially on television.
Fey described Pardo as a
sweet, sweet man, adding,
Late night will never sound
as cool again.
My whole life changed once
Don Pardo said my name,
echoed Amy Poehler, a fellow
SNL alum. I will really miss
that kind and talented man.
His was no ordinary voice
and he guarded it closely,
with cough drops always at
the ready.
My voice is my Achilles
heel, Pardo said in a
1985 interview with Te
Associated Press. When I
get sick, its always my voice.
But it served him well from a
tender age.
Dominick George Pardo
was born in Westfeld, Mass.,
on Feb. 22, 1918, and grew up
in Norwich, Conn.
One of his frst jobs was
that of ticket-taker at a local
movie theater; even then, his
voice was commanding.
Id go out there with a cape
and say: Standing room only
in the mezzanine. Immediate
seating in the balcony.
His father, Dominick,
owned a small bakery and
had wanted his son to join
the business. But young
Pardo followed his own
dream. Afer graduating from
Bostons Emerson College
in 1942, he began his vocal
career at radio station WJAR
in Providence, R.I.
Two years later, he was
hired by a supervisor at NBC
immediately upon hearing
his voice. He moved to NBCs
New York afliate, and never
lef the network.
Pardo made his mark
quickly, reading news
dispatches on the radio fled
from the front lines during
World War II. Afer the war,
he was the announcer for
such shows as the Arthur
Murray Party, Colgate
Comedy Hour and Your
Show of Shows.
In 1954, he was brought in
to announce Winner Takes
All, beginning a long run in
game shows. He was heard
forcefully on the original
Te Price is Right (1956-63)
and the original Jeopardy!
(1964-75), hosted by Art
Fleming.
When NBC launched
the radical, cutting-edge
Saturday Night Live in 1975
with Pardo as its charmingly
old-school patriarch, he
was discovered by a new
generation although, on
opening night, he made a rare
stumble, botching one of the
credits. Instead of saying Te
Not Ready for Prime Time
Players, Pardo introduced
the shows new comedy
troupe as Te Not for Ready
Prime Time Players.
Aside from Season 7, when
he was rudely displaced,
Pardo remained an SNL
mainstay.
Between working on shows,
Pardo ofen spent several
hours a day in an NBC sound
studio as one of the last
network booth announcers
working a regular daily shif.
And every weekday
afernoon for several years
in the 1980s, Pardo would
quickly clad himself in a tie
and blazer to step on camera
long enough to announce the
local New York stations Live
at Five newscast although
Pardos vocal alchemy
rendered it as Liiiiiiive at
Fiiiiiive!
Pardo retired from NBC in
2004.
But Lorne Michaels called
me soon afer and asked if
I would continue for three
more weeks, so I did, Pardo
told the AP in 2010. Ten he
called and asked if I would do
fve more, and so on. I never
really lef.
For several years, Pardo
commuted from Tucson each
week the show aired. He
arrived to open the show in
Rockefeller Centers fabled
Studio 8H and then caught a
returning fight. At the end
of the show on Feb. 23, 2008,
he was brought on camera
to blow out the candles of a
birthday cake in honor of his
90th birthday.
In later years, he more ofen
recorded his introductions
from home, where he died
peacefully Monday afernoon,
said his daughter Dona Pardo.
He became our link to the

beginnings of television on
NBC and radio.

Student interest in
hammocks increases
MADISON RUBERT
@MadisonRubert
As hammock culture
becomes increasingly
prevalent on campus,
more students are adding
a hammock to their list of
back-to-school essentials.
Many students are enticed
to invest in a hammock due
to the appeal of relaxing at
Clinton and Potter lakes on a
sunny afernoon.
Hammocks encourage
students to spend less time
hitting the books and more
time enjoying the fresh air.
A hammock seems like a
fun and relaxing way to chill
at Potter Lake Id also love
to see more students hanging
outdoors at Clinton Lake and
other parks in Lawrence,
sophomore Michele
Tompson said.
A self-designed survey
elicited the opinions of the
student body concerning the
hammock trend. Although
the vast majority of the 15
respondents agreed it would
be fun to own a hammock
and believed their classmates
would be interested in owning
a hammock, only a third of
students reported intentions
of actually purchasing a
hammock.
Te students who were
dissuaded against purchasing
a hammock diagnosed their
lack of interest as a result
of the price factor or lack
of practicality. Josh Lin, a
survey respondent whos not
interested in purchasing a
hammock, said, Te ground
is sufcient for sleeping.
Teres no doubt that
hammock shopping has
experienced a surge in
popularity among KU
students; however, not
everyone is aboard the
bandwagon. Hammocks
seem to be more or less
appealing in accordance to
ones willingness to invest in
some time of to enjoy the
local parks and lakes.
Te prices of hammocks
range from $15$1,000.
Considering the budget of
college students, the absolute
lowest end of this price range
is usually most appealing.
Tere is a variety of afordable
hammocks for less than $60
at Walmart, Target or Dicks
Sporting Goods.
Whether hammock culture
is just a feeting trend or is
here to stay, hammocks are
gradually gaining popularity
among students. Hammock
culture, although a new and
upcoming trend, has already
garnered sufcient interest
across campus.

CAMPUS
ALEAH MILLINER/KANSAN
Locals enjoy the study area and computer lab of the new Lawrence Public Library.
Off-campus study spots
provide quiet workspaces
ALEAH MILLINER
news@kansan.com
Choosing a study location
is an important factor in your
success for class. Distractions
are abundant and the libraries
on campus can become boring.
Fortunately, there are many
options of campus for you to
enjoy.
Signs of Life cofee shop
and bookstore, located at 722
Massachusetts St., provides a
quiet and calm environment
for your studies. Te perk
of Signs is the many seating
options inside the store to
study. Tis includes the caf
downstairs, an upstairs room
next to the art gallery and
two rooms in the back of the
bookstore with chairs and
tables. You will likely fnd a
quiet area to study free from
distraction, cofee in hand.
I usually choose Signs
because its typically not
busy, said Kate Martens, a
sophomore from Salina. Its
a quiet place. Plus its a pretty
atmosphere.
All-nighters are sometimes
necessary when juggling a
busy schedule. If you are
looking for a place to study
into the late hours of the night,
Java Break is there to help out.
Te local cofee shop at 17 E.
7th St. is open 24 hours a day
to provide a place to study,
as well as the cofee to keep
you going. Another beneft of
Java Break is its cereal bar. It
features many popular brands
of cereal, candy and other
sugary confections to add in,
and milk to top of your study
snack.
Finally, the newly built
Lawrence Public Library
downtown provides a quiet
library atmosphere. Te
renovations included updated
technology and a 20 percent
increase in space. Tere are
many study rooms and quiet
areas, as well as Internet
and computer access. Te
new library is located at 707
Vermont St.
Whether you are looking for
a place to set up for an all night
study session, or a few hours to
write a paper, Signs of Life, Java
Break or the Lawrence Public
Library are worthy candidates
for prime study spots.
I usually choose Signs

because its typically not

Entertaining apps help
students with organization
JOHN PAUL REYNOLDS
@JohnPaul_UDK
As school is back in
session, life can become
disorganized under the
stress of assignments, jobs
and maintaining a social
life. However, solutions for
managing your daily mess
are right at your fngertips,
waiting to be downloaded.
VENMO
Venmo is a very useful app
for college students. It is free
to download and it allows
users to pay their friends back
if they dont have cash on
them. Just link your banking
information to the secure
app and you can transfer
payments immediately.

HOMESLICE
Homeslice coincides
perfectly with Venmo.
Homeslice is an
organizational app that
helps roommates regulate
their monthly bills and even
day-to-day chores. Start
by creating a home with
your roommates and from
there begin the division of
household tasks. It is really
easy to keep track of bills
between your roommates,
virtually no hassle,
Daniel Shea, a senior from
Gladstone, Missouri, said.
IFTTT
IFTTT stands for If
Tis Tan Tat. Choose a
trigger and an action;
this combination is called a
recipe. An example would
be: if there is a chance of
rain tomorrow, notify me
the morning so I can bring
an umbrella. It could be
really useful for organizing
all the incoming information
to your phone. Te app
currently has a four-star
rating on iTunes, compiled
from a total of 317 ratings.
UNSEEN
Unseen is essentially an
anonymous Instagram.
Tere is no login, just
pick your school and see a
plethora of posted photos.
Post your own photos and
rate and comment on others.
It shows a perspective
that wouldnt normally be
exposed, and you can check
out other schools to see what
other colleges are up to.

NATIONAL
Smithsonian adds LGBT
history to museum
collection
WASHINGTON Hundreds of
photographs, papers and historical
objects documenting the history of
gay, lesbian, bisexual and trans-
gender people are being added
to the Smithsonian Institutions
collection Tuesday, including items
from the popular TV show Will and
Grace.
Show creators David Kohan and
Max Mutchnick along with NBC are
donating objects to the National
Museum of American History. The
collection includes original scripts,
casting ideas, political memora-
bilia surrounding the show and the
series nale. The network agreed to
donate props, including a pill bottle
and ask, a sign from Grace Adler
Interior Design and Will Trumans
framed college diploma.
Kohan told The Associated Press
that the Smithsonians interest in
the show featuring gay principal
characters was a validation they
never dreamed about when the
sitcom began airing in 1998. Will
and Grace ran through May 2006
depicting four friends both gay and
straight, eventually ending with the
main characters coupled off with
children.
These particular guests that
were invited into peoples living
rooms happened to be your gay
friends, Kohan said. I dont think
people really had the opportunity to
have that before, and it served to,
I think, make people recognize that
your close friends were gay.
The fact that its in the American
history (museum), maybe we were a
part of something that was bigger
than we ever imagined, Kohan
said.
The donation is part of larger
effort to document gay and lesbian
history, an area that has not been
well understood at the museum.
Curators are collecting materials
from LGBT political, sports and cul-
tural history objects from Arizona to
Maryland.
Some items being donated
include the diplomatic passports
of Ambassador David Huebner, the
rst openly gay U.S. ambassador
conrmed by the Senate, and his
husband; materials from a gay
community center in Baltimore; and
photography collections from Patsy
Lynch and Silvia Ros documenting
gay rights activism.
From sports history, the museum
will receive a tennis racket from
former professional player Renee
Richards who won a landmark New
York Supreme Court decision for
transgender rights after she was
denied entry to the U.S. Open in
1975.

Gotham Sept. 22 at 7 p.m.
on FOX
Of all the upcoming
superhero and comic-based
TV shows, this prequel to
the Batman universe looks
to deliver the best content.
FOX knows how to do
police and crime thrillers
pretty well, and despite its
bit of cartooniness, it will
no doubt prove entertaining.
Gotham focuses on future
Commissioner Jim Gordon
(Ben McKenzie) working to
fght the crime and villains of
Gotham Citys streets when
Bruce Wayne is still a boy.
Teres lots to mine from the
comics, and witnessing the
origin and evolution of iconic
characters always makes for
interesting narratives.
The Walking Dead Oct. 12
at 8 p.m. on AMC
Afer the climactic ending
to season 4 found the group
of survivors as prisoners
to the dangerous crew of
Terminus, this new season
promises heavy strife as they
must work together to get
the only person who can
stop the zombie plague to
D.C. Te Walking Dead
isnt just the most popular
show on cable because of its
killer carnage; it has steadily
improved the past couple
seasons with intense confict,
characters we love in such an
awful world and bad guys we
love to hate.
How to Get Away with Murder
Sept. 25 at 9 p.m. on ABC
One of TVs queen creators,
Shonda Rhimes, has a whole
block of three shows in a
row this fall. Afer Greys
Anatomy and Scandal,
her new show, How to Get
Away with Murder will
follow suit. If you like the
sex, lies, deceit and students
learning a new profession in
those, then ABC is already
hedging its bets youll
become obsessed with this.
Viola Davis from Te Help
stars as a criminal defense
professor teaching her
students the nitty-gritty of
how to get your client of
innocent, even if it requires
illegal methods.
Homeland Oct. 5 at 8 p.m.
on Showtime
Homeland lost some
of its followers with the
different directions it took
in seasons 2 and 3, while
others thought it became
even more suspenseful
and emotional. The Brody
storyline has officially
ended and now Agent
Carrie Mathison (Claire
Danes) will have a new
national security risk to
worry about, so if youve
wanted to give Homeland
another (or first) shot, you
could jump into this tense
espionage thriller with this
season.
American Horror Story: Freak
Show Oct. 8 at 9 p.m. on FX
More series are starting to
pick up the anthology style
of seasons, and American
Horror Story keeps
getting ballsier with each
one. While the last season,
Coven, had some missteps
brought about by a lack of
consistent rules governing
its world, each episode
was still wonderfully
violent, brutally creative
and thrilling, with great
characters to invest in. This
new season will be lead
actress Jessica Langes last,
and as it centers around the
last traveling freak show in
the 50s, the potential for
cult horror should delight
any horror enthusiast.
The Trip to Italy August 29
Liberty Hall
Te Trip didnt need a
ridiculous premise or bawdy
gags to become one of the
funniest flms of recent
years, just Steve Coogan
and Rob Brydon poking fun
at each other with largely
improvised banter and dueling
impressions of famous actors.
Now theyre back for another
road trip of fne dining, this
time through the idyllic Italian
countryside. Teyve matured
since the last outing and
ponder growing older, death,
friendship and the little stuf
in between. But their witty
dialogue about life comes
second to the impersonations
of Michael Caine, Al Pacino,
Sean Connery and many more
that will have you laughing out
loud throughout.
A Walk Among the Tombstones
Sept. 19
Sure, weve seen Liam
Neeson as a grizzled ass-
kicker hunting down the bad
guys over and over since
Taken, but hes so intense
it doesnt get old (despite his
age), and A Walk Among
the Tombstones has a high
pedigree behind it that should
actually make it a worthwhile
surprise. Writer/director Scott
Frank also made the unique
heist gem Te Lookout, so
he can pack an exciting punch
into a seemingly standard
crime thriller. Neeson plays a
P.I. searching for the criminal
group who kidnapped and
killed a drug kingpins wife
in this bestselling novel
adaptation that looks dark,
gritty and stylish.
Gone Girl Oct. 3
David Fincher (Fight
Club, Te Social Network)
is a masterful director whose
flms bare his trademark
style on every frame. Hes a
perfectionist who can enthrall
us with twisting narratives like
no other especially when
theres a deep mystery driving
the suspense. In Gone Girl,
Ben Afeck stars as a man
whose wife (Rosamund Pike)
disappears. In the ensuing
media coverage, the question
becomes whether he killed
her. With both halves of the
couple serving as unreliable
narrators and an angle that
makes this murder mystery
highly relevant and engrossing,
this will be better than any
real-life story on Dateline.
Birdman Oct. 17
Alejandro Gonzlez
Irritus dramedy Birdman,
about a troubled actor
(Michael Keaton), once famous
for his superhero movie role
now trying to reclaim his
former greatness by staging
a Broadway play, will be one
of this years craziest flms.
Drawing on Keatons real role
as Tim Burtons Batman, the
story shows the surreal state
of mind of the actor as his
Birdman persona collides with
reality for what seems like a
hilarious, sad and technically
astounding journey. Gravity
cinematographer Emmanuel
Lubezki purportedly shot the
flm to look like one long,
continuous shot, meaning a
guaranteed, dazzling cinematic
marvel.
Interstellar Nov. 7
Christopher Nolan has
kept details pretty secretive
for his new sci-f blockbuster
Interstellar, which means the
flm has some phenomenal
surprises in store for viewers.
Te story stars Matthew
McConaughey and Anne
Hathaway as scientists going
on a space mission through a
wormhole to discover a more
hospitable planet than climate-
embattled Earth. Nolan
seems to be going for scope
comparable to 2001: A Space
Odyssey with this flm, saying
its his biggest yet. Considering
his last original sci-f movie was
Inception, prepare yourself
to be blown away when this
opens. If you see one flm in
IMAX all year, this should be it.

Te University will hold its
second annual Taste of KU
Dining event on Aug. 20. Te
event is free; however, it is
only open to faculty and staf.
Faculty and staf will be able
to sample an array of food
and beverage options like
the famous crunchy chicken
cheddar wrap and the various
cofees available at retail and
residential dining facilities on
campus.
Nona Golledge, KU Dining
Service Director, helped orga-
nize the event.
We created an event for fac-
ulty to take and try options
that are available to them with
their faculty and staf meal
plans, Golledge said.
Golledge said that because
there was a clear lack in an
opportunity for the Universi-
tys workers to try their food
options and in order to thank
faculty for everything they do,
the event was created solely
for them to try the many dif-
ferent types of foods available
to them.
Students will also have an
opportunity to sample the
many food options the Uni-
versity has to ofer at events
like UnionFest and HawkFest,
where major dining locations
including Mrs. Es, the Market
and the Underground are usu-
ally present. Golledge said the
combined attendance at these
events last year was around
5,000 students.
Caroline Glocker Downers,
a freshman from Downers
Grove, Ill., said she would at-
tend an event like Taste of KU
Dining for students.
I would most likely go to an
event that ofered sample dif-
ferent food options, Glocker
said.

NELIGH, Neb. Willie Nel-
son and Neil Young will head-
line a concert next month in a
Nebraska cornfeld organized
by opponents of a proposed
pipeline that would carry oil
from Canada south to the Gulf
Coast.
Bold Nebraska said Monday
the concert will be held Sept.
27 on a farm near Neligh in
northeast Nebraska. Tickets go
on sale Wednesday.
Earlier this year, protesters
carved an anti-pipeline mes-
sage into the cornfeld, which
is in the path of TransCanada's
proposed Keystone XL pipe-
line.
Pipeline critics hope the proj-
ect will be rejected because
they fear it could contaminate
groundwater and contribute to
pollution.
TransCanada has said the
pipeline will have upgraded
safety measures and should
be allowed. Te company has
already built and is operating
the southern leg of the pipeline
between Oklahoma and Texas.

CONCERT
ASSOCIATED PRESS

concert in Hershey, Pa., on Sept. 22, 2012.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Now and then, Hollywood
magic results from some-
thing decidedly non-glam-
orous like a guy reading
a book on a pile of smelly
football shoulder pads.
It helps, of course, if the
guy is David Zelon, a pro-
ducer and executive vice
president at Mandalay En-
tertainment Group. Back in
2009, the devoted football
dad was straightening up
the equipment room at his
son's high school in San-
ta Monica, CALIF., when
he came across a copy of
"When the Game Stands
Tall," the famed story of
Concord, Calif.'s De La Salle
High School Spartans and
their 151-game winning
streak under the guidance of
coach Bob Ladouceur.
It was the first Zelon had
heard the tale, though the
book written by former
Contra Costa Times colum-
nist Neil Hayes was origi-
nally published in 2003. But
once Zelon cracked it open,
he caught the whiff of a po-
tential film.
"I settled right in on that
pile of sweaty shoulder pads
and started reading I was
hooked," he said in a recent
phone interview. "The thing
was, I'd never seen this kind
of approach to a team any-
where. Ladouceur wasn't
about winning. No yelling
and slamming clipboards
down. He was about devel-
oping these boys into great
young men. So I thought,
let's show everybody how
they did it."
We'll all be hearing a lot
about "When the Game
Stands Tall" as the movie ad-
aptation opens nationwide
Aug. 22. And while the pro-
duction is Hollywood all the
way and filmed in New
Orleans of all places, thanks
to financial incentives
its roots run deep in Cali-
fornia's East Bay. Not only
with the team itself and the
book's author, but also with
former Contra Costa Times
photographer Bob Larson,
whose photos in the book
were used as the inspiration
for key scenes.
And just as the stars
aligned in the making of De
La Salle's record-breaking
team, kismet also played a
part in the story's path from
real life to feature film _ an
effort which at times felt fu-
tile.
BUMP AND RUN
It goes back to Hayes' and
Larson's days at the Contra
Costa Times in the mid-
'90s covering De La Salle, a
private Catholic school for
boys known for its pow-
erhouse football program,
which draws talented ath-
letes from around the East
Bay. The team, coaches and
players alike, had no interest
in excessive publicity early
on, and it took some serious
coaxing first from Larson,
and later from Hayes to
get behind the scenes mid-
way through the 151-gamer
that ran from 1992 to 2004.
"Even though I'd gone on
to cover other sports and
NFL and stuff, I kept go-
ing back to De La Salle. My
instincts were screaming,
'This is a great story,'" said
Hayes. "I finally pestered
(Ladouceur) enough where
he told me the only way I
could find out what goes on
is if I showed up every day
for a year. I took that as an
opening, and I did it. I had
unbelievable access."
In a matter of months,
Hayes had written the man-
uscript, accompanied by
Larson's striking photos,
but then he hit a wall
getting it published. "The
bigger publishing houses all
said the same thing: too re-
gional," Hayes said. He had
nearly given up when North
Atlantic Books in Berkeley,
a tiny press better known
for fitness guides and cook-
books, took it on.
The book sold well enough
for its niche, but soon there
would be more to the story.
This first edition followed
the team only through the
still-undefeated 2002 sea-
son.
"Then the 2004 season
started, and all the tragedies
happened the coach's
heart attack, (star lineback-
er and University of Ore-
gon-bound) Terrance Kelly
was shot and killed in Rich-
mond," Hayes said. "And
the streak finally ended that
September. The Spartans fi-
nally lost."
He updated the story with
an epilogue for a paper-
back version, with both edi-
tions selling in total about
60,000 copies. Hayes was
approached by a few inde-
pendent movie producers,
but nothing panned out
until the day Zelon sat down
to read.
"He called me, and we met
at the Rose Cafe in Venice,"
Hayes remembered. "He said
he loved the book but didn't
know what would drive the
dramatic arc. I looked at
him funny and said, 'Um,
did you read the hard copy
or the paperback?'"
Indeed, once Zelon
producer of "Soul Surfer"
and "Never Back Down"
learned of the epilogue,
"trumpets started playing
in the background and the
sun came up," Zelon said,
laughing.
ALL IN THE DETAILS
Hayes would go on to work
closely on the first draft of
the script with the studio's
creative team, through doz-
ens of revisions. And Lar-
son, who is now a freelance
photographer, began getting
calls from the studio to send
them photos so they could
study the details.
"I'd get calls almost daily,
'Can you send us these pics,
we want to look at them for
sets and helmets and back-
ground and costumes,'" Lar-
son said. "They were very
specific. 'The coach is wear-
ing a gold lanyard in this
photo. Was it always gold, or
sometimes green?' It really
tells you how detailed they
got."
Several of Larson's images
are used in the movie during
the end credits, he said, no-
tably a poignant shot of two
players reassuring each oth-
er by holding hands during
a crucial point in a game,
with Terrance Kelly seen in
the background. "It's the last
image you'll see before the
screen goes black," he said.
Hayes was on the set every
day during the April-June
2013 filming in New Or-
leans a location chosen
strictly for budgetary rea-
sons, he said. "I didn't have
a clue what to expect," he
said. "It was surreal. Kind of
a blur to be honest with you,
to see these big actors play-
ing people I know."

COZART FOR QUARTERBACK
Sophomore starter hopes to turn team around after successful freshman season
AARON GROENE/KANSAN
Sophomore Montell Cozart runs drills during preseason practices. Coach Charlie Weis announced Cozart will be the Jayhawks quarterback. Having the experience he had last year really helped, Weis said.
SHANE JACKSON
@jacksonshane3
Over the past six years, the
Kansas Jayhawks have started
six diferent quarterbacks. Tis
year, Coach Charlie Weis will
hand the reins to sophomore
Montell Cozart, who will start
in the season opener against
Southeast Missouri State on
Sept. 6.
Besides Cozart, quarterbacks
from previous years include
Todd Reesing, Kale Pick,
Jordan Webb, Dayne Crist
and Jake Heaps. But what
Cozart has that most of
his predecessors didnt
is experience in a Kansas
uniform.
Having the experiences
he had last year really
helped. His success against
West Virginia, his struggles
in other games hes not the
new guy anymore. Hes been
out there, said quarterbacks
coach Ron Powlus. It is nice
working with a guy thats not
all new for him, like we have in
the past.
Te 18-year-old freshman
out of nearby Bishop Miege
High School had his redshirt
ripped of in mid-October
last season when he saw his
frst collegiate action against
the Oklahoma Sooners. His
frst start for Kansas came
against West Virginia, where
he led the Jayhawks to their
second conference victory in
42 games.
During his frst year, Cozart
played in seven games, starting
in three of them despite Heaps
being the incumbent starter
early in the year.
Entering his third, and
perhaps most crucial year,
Weis has decided to veer away
from the transfer quarterback
experiment. With the help of
a new ofensive coordinator,
Weis pins his ofensive hopes
on a kid who has yet to
complete a touchdown pass
in his collegiate career and
completed a mere 36.5 percent
of his passes.
But for Cozart, who just
turned 19 on day four of camp,
being thrown into the starting
quarterback role is nothing
new.
For as long as he can
remember, Cozart has been a
basketball guy. He preferred
playing pickup games on the
court with his friends rather
than tossing around a football.
In fact, as a freshman in high
school, Cozart only played
basketball. As a sophomore,
Cozart played mostly
cornerback at the varsity level
and spots at quarterback in
garbage time.
But his third year in high
school, he was thrown in the
starting role and asked to be a
leader, a role he fnds himself
in once again.
Naturally, Cozart found
a way to thrive in even the
toughest circumstance. He led
Bishop Miege to the Kansas
Class 5A state championship
game in 2012, throwing for
2,759 yards and 25 touchdowns.
On the hardwood, he
averaged 18 points per game
and was named frst team
all-conference.
But eventually, Cozart
swapped his high school
basketball shorts for a crimson
and blue football jersey in
hopes of turning the program
around.
One of the reasons why
I chose Kansas is because I
wanted to be a hometown hero
that you hear about, and put
Kansas football back on the
map, and hopefully we can do
that this year, Cozart said.
Te last time Kansas was
remotely near the map was six
years ago, behind Reesing, a
player Cozart has awed over in
the flm room.
I have watched a lot of flm
on him, I think we are similar
because we both put pressure
on defenses, because we are
both dual-threat, keeping
defenses on their heels, Cozart
said. Te game I remember
the most is when KU played
MU at Arrowhead and the
weather conditions were
terrible, and Reesing was just
making plays. He was a great
one to watch.
Kansas quarterback
situation has been a revolving
door since the days of Reesing,
but even at 19 years old, Cozart
might just be the guy to fx it.
One of the reasons why I

chose Kansas is because I
wanted to be a hometown
hero that you hear about ...

Two top running backs declared out for season
Te Kansas running back
corps has sufered two major
injuries in the last two days.
Seniors Brandon Bourbon
and Taylor Cox are out for the
season afer separate injuries.
Bourbon was No. 1 on the depth
chart and Cox was second.
Bourbon tore his anterior
cruciate ligament Sunday and
Cox tore his Achilles tendon
Monday, Kansas Athletics
released Tuesday night.
I feel bad for both Brandon
and Taylor as they were looking
forward to the opportunity to
be the replacement for James
Sims, Coach Charlie Weis said
in a news release. I sat down
with each of them individually
and talked through their
options and was happy that they
chose to further their education,
while attempting to play again
next year if things work out.
According to the news release,
the team will look at fling a
sixth-year clock extension for
the pair. Both Bourbon and
Cox have already redshirted at
Kansas.
DeAndre Mann and Corey
Avery are the remaining
running backs on the roster.
Mann is a junior-college transfer
and Avery is a freshman; both
have not played in an ofcial
Kansas game. Freshman
Joe Dineen, Jr. has changed
positions from safety to running
back for added depth.
Mann comes to Kansas from
Hartnell College in central
California, where he rushed
for 1,706 yards last season. His
yardage led all junior college
players in California.
Avery, from Carter High
School in Dallas, chose Kansas
over football powerhouses
Texas and Nebraska. He scored
22 total touchdowns while
playing both running back and
wide receiver.

A Kansas State defender begins to bring down then-junior running back
Taylor Cox in the 2012 Kansas-KSU matchup in Manhattan.
Newcomers to assume starting role
Tere is a new sense of
optimism and urgency
surrounding the Kansas
defense.
Tere is optimism the whole
unit will improve from last
year. Last years defense gave
up 382 points, or 31.8 points
per game and 432.6 yards per
game, which ranked among
the Big 12s worst.
Te urgency comes from
the pressure to break through
and fnally succeed in the last
season for many of the key
players.
Its all or nothing right
now, senior linebacker Ben
Heeney said. Tis is my
last opportunity to leave an
impact on this program.
Heeney, who was named to
the 2014 Preseason All-Big 12
team, is one of nine returning
defensive starters. His fellow
seniors include cornerbacks
JaCorey Shepherd and Dexter
McDonald, who were All-Big
12 Honorable Mentions at the
end of last season.
As with many experienced
teams at the beginning of
the season, Heeney said the
coaching staf has preached
the importance of leadership.
I can tell, its night and
day compared to previous
years, Heeney said. Like I
said, the leadership that we
have with all the seniors and
upperclassmen on this team is
just a lot better.
Most of the experience
comes in the secondary and
linebacking core. Coach
Charlie Weis has said the
defensive line is the biggest
concern because of the
relative inexperience of that
group. However, senior Keon
Stowers, one of last seasons
captains, will anchor the line
at nose tackle.
Another point of experience
for the Jayhawks is the
return of their junior-college
transfers. Weis made his
mark on the team in the past
two seasons by bringing in
a capable group of JUCO
transfers.
Afer we got in the program,
we knew there would be risk-
reward when we went with a
high volume of junior college
players the next year, Weis
said. But because we did that,
even with the guys that arent
here anymore, the foundation
of our team has all played.
One of those junior-college
transfers ready for his second
year is senior safety Cassius
Sendish. He was a highly
touted signee last year, and is
now considered a leader in the
secondary.
Te comfort level has
defnitely improved, Sendish
said. Anybody would
say a year in the system is
good under their belt. Just
knowing what the coaches are
expecting, what type of things
were trying to accomplish in
the defense were running, it
feels good.
Te Jayhawks return their
top three tacklers. Heeney
recorded 88, junior safety
Isaiah Johnson had 73 and
Sendish had 68. It will be
the last time for many of
these players to be successful
together.
If we dont succeed now,
were not really going to,
Heeney said. I think we have
a lot more pressure.

Strong returning starters
jumpstart season success
LIZ KUHLMANN
@LizKuhlmannUDK

With a 3-0 victory against
South Dakota State last week,
the womens soccer team has
already displayed its desire
for success this year.
Te group certainly has
the ingredients: a strong
returning core, a head coach
three games away from
his 200th career win and a
prediction from the coaches
poll that the team will fnish
sixth in the league.
Te Jayhawks will return
close to 70 percent of their
scoring to the team with nine
of 11 starters from last season,
including the teams top four
scorers: Liana Salazar, Jamie
Fletcher, Ashley Williams
and Courtney Dickerson.
Also returning to the team
are 16 letterwinners from
last season. Tis experienced
group will welcome eight
freshmen, eager to make their
mark in crimson and blue.
Te class will contribute two
more international players in
Lois Heuchan (Scotland) and
Eli Mayr (Germany).
With this group, coach
Mark Francis will likely earn
the three victories he needs
for his 200th win. Averaging
around 11 wins a season as
Kansas coach, his 197 career
wins take second place
among current conference
coaches. He has led the
program to its 10th season
being ranked among the
top six teams in preseason
voting.
Despite the expectation for
conference play to be tough,
the team has set its sights on
the Big 12 Championship
tournament for the second
consecutive year.
Te team also has a new
home this season at Rock
Chalk Park, a new sports
complex that is a major
upgrade from its previous
accommodations.
Te program had waited
15 years for the new facility
to be built, and the dream
became a reality in spring.
Te complex will include
state-of-the-art stadiums for
sofball, track and feld and
soccer.
Te Jayhawks look to
improve their record, as they
will take the feld for their
frst game at Rock Chalk
Park on Aug. 22 at 7 p.m.
against Wyoming University.

BULLFIGHTING
BOGOTA, Colombia
Two years afer Bogotas
lefist mayor suspended
bullfghts at the capitals
history-steeped bullring,
a clutch of apprentice
matadors is pressing for their
reinstatement with a hunger
strike.
Te two-week-old protest
outside the classically styled
arena, La Santamaria Plaza,
comes as the countrys
Constitutional Court is
expected to rule on a legal
attempt to force Mayor
Gustavo Petro to allow the
blood sport to resume in the
city-owned venue.
One of the eight novices,
weakened from the liquid-
only diet, had to be
hospitalized last week, said a
comrade, 19-year-old Diego
Torres. Torres said late
Sunday that he and another
hunger striker also might
need to be hospitalized
shortly. But that would not
halt the strike, he said.
Soon afer his election in
late 2011, Petro announced
that La Santamaria would no
longer host the ceremonious
slaughter of bulls but be
devoted exclusively to
non-violent entertainment.
It has long served as a
concert and theater venue.
Te man has marginalized
us, complained Torres.
Here, everyone looks at us
like were the scum of the
earth. Te apprentices have
also lost income. Each earns
a bit more than $330 per
fght.
A former lefist rebel and
anti-corruption senator,
Petro annulled the contract
of the Corporacion Taurina
de Bogota, which organizes
bullfghts, afer the January-
February 2012 season. Te
company says it has the right
to hold bullfghts there at
least through March 2015.
Few countries remain
bullfghting-friendly. It
remains popular in Spain,
though it is no longer
televised there, while the
Spanish region of Catalonia
banned it and neighboring
Portugal only allows
bloodless fghts.
In the Americas, traditional
bullfghts remain seasonal
fare in Mexico, Venezuela,
Peru and Colombia. Ecuador
banned them in May 2011,
only permitting the non-
fatal variety.

Te womens golf team
is set to tee up for another
successful season. Riding high
on the success of last years
historic season at the NCAA
tournament, where the team
ranked 24th, the Jayhawks are
ready for another deep run in
the postseason.
Coach Erin ONeil said
the team had really good
chemistry last year and
everything just clicked. Her
team worked hard on the golf
course, in the weight room
and in the classroom to make
it one of the best seasons in
the schools history.
Last year was a tremendous
accomplishment and it
certainly helps our confdence
going into this year, ONeil
said. Even though we didnt
fnish as high as we would have
liked to at that tournament, I
know we learned a lot and we
will use that to make us that
much better this year. Te
girls are really excited to get
back to work and make it back
there again.
ONeil said that the
transition from last years
success to the expectations of
a new year will be a difcult
adjustment for the team.
Once you go to NCAA
then obviously the bar in
your head gets higher, so that
is something we will have to
adjust to, ONeil said. We
will have to embrace that
mentality and wrap our arms
around it and be good with it
and not be scared of it.
With seven returning
players and three new
additions to the team,
ONeil said that they have a
lot of experience going into
this season.
With recruiting we have
been hearing from better
and better players, ONeil
said. Tey have a lot of
experience, they are good
kids, hard workers, good
students and just all around
good additions to the team.
ONeil said she believes the
team will be highly successful
this year. Tree of the
returning players have played
at regionals and nationals.
Along with them, there are
two seniors who have been
working on their game and
will defnitely contribute,
ONeil said.
ONeil said the team is ready
for its frst tournament. Te
Jayhawks will take on Alvamar
Golf Club in Lawrence on
Sept. 8 and 9 for the Marilynn
Smith Sunfower Invitational.
It is awesome to play at
home, ONeil said. You are
very familiar with the course.
It is a defnite advantage
because the greens at Alvamar
can be a little tricky. It is
nice to play at home the frst
tournament to get some
confdence going again and
then head out on to the road
those next two weekends.

Jayhawks hope to continue last seasons success
Te Kansas mens golf
team returns all but two
players from last years roster
afer fnishing eighth out
of nine teams in the Big 12
conference.
Headlining this years team
is sophomore Chase Hanna
and juniors Ben Welle and
Connor Peck. Senior Logan
Philley rounds out the top of
the team.
Hanna led the team with
the lowest average individual
round score at 73.24. Hanna
is coming of a summer in
which he qualifed for the
U.S. Amateur Public Links
championship. He failed to
make the cut however, afer
shooting a 73 and 78 totaling
9-over.
Welle had the top individual
performances for the
Jayhawks in three out of 11
tournaments last season,
while Hanna had the best
performance seven times.
Other Jayhawks with notable
summers playing in ofseason
tournaments include redshirt
senior Bryce Brown, redshirt
freshman Brock Drogosch
and sophomore Jacques
Wilson.
Brown qualifed for the
Nebraska Match Play
Championship on June 23.
Te tournament culminated
in a title victory for Brown,
winning six matches en route
to the 47th Nebraska Match
Play Championship.
Drogosch shot a 67-66-
133 to qualify for the U.S.
Amateur. Fellow teammate
and incoming freshman
Daniel Hudson shot a two-
round 141 at Hidden Glen
Golf Club to also qualify for
the U.S. Amateur. Once they
got there, Hudson missed
the cut by two strokes while
Drogosch missed the cut by
10 strokes.
Wilson won the 2014
Resorters Golf Tournament
in Alexandria, Minn., in early
August. Wilson won four
matches to reach the fnal,
where he prevailed by one-
stroke.
Kansas mens golf coach
Jamie Bermel is entering his
third season as the coach and
is looking for a fnish better
than eighth this time around.
Te Jayhawks begin the
season at the Wolverine
Intercollegiate Tournament,
which spans from Sept. 6 to
Sept. 7 in Ann Arbor, Mich.
Tey will play a total of six
tournaments in the fall and
four in the spring, excluding
the Big 12 Tournament.
Kansas returns four of its top
fve scorers last year and will
feature a young core with four
incoming freshman. Spencer
Paiton, Gary Daoust, Daniel
Hudson and redshirt Brock
Drogosch will constitute the
new faces of the team.
Womens golf coach Erin ONeil said last years accomplishments have
rolled over and made this years team more condent.
Last year was a tremendous

accomplishment and it cer-
tainly helps our condence
going into this year.

news@kansan.com
Losing seven seniors and
the most successful class in
Jayhawks history may have
been a burden for Coach Ray
Bechard in past years, but not
this time around.
Like Bill Self and basketball,
Kansas volleyball is coming back
every season with high-ranked
recruits, and other coaches are
starting to take notice. Although
Kansas lost multiple starting
seniors, coaches in the Big 12
still selected the team to fnish
second in the preseason poll
afer a program best second-
place fnish last season. Te
Jayhawks also received praise
by being ranked No. 22 in
the national poll, the second
consecutive year theyve started
in the preseason top 25.
Tere are several reasons for
this preseason recognition,
including the countrys
No. 15-ranked recruiting
class and prized recruit Ainise
Havili, ranked No. 39 by
PrepVolleyball.com. More
responsible for this high
preseason ranking are the
only two seniors on the roster,
outside hitters Chelsea Albers
and Sara McClinton. Both
players were named to the
Big 12 All-Preseason Team afer
earning All-Big 12 First Team
last year. Both played key roles
in the Jayhawks making the
Sweet 16 last season.
With prestigious accolades
and experience to back them,
these two seniors hope to lead
a young Jayhawk squad on
another deep run in the NCAA
tournament. Expectations for
this 2014 team will be high
afer the success of last year, but
a lot of questions still remain
as to how they can replace
so many key players, namely
Erin McNorton, last seasons
Big 12 Setter of the Year. Like
a quarterback in football, the
setter runs the whole ofense,
calling plays and controlling the
tempo as she sees ft. McNorton
did this as well as anyone in the
country.
Her departure lef a gaping
hole in the starting lineup.
Te two candidates to replace
her will be either sophomore
Maggie Anderson or Havili,
who became the frst Kansas
freshman to receive the honor
of Big 12 Preseason Freshman
of the Year.
If Anderson or Havili can
make a smooth enough
transition and run the ofense to
its potential, look for Kansas to
compete for frst place in the Big
12 and make another deep run
in the NCAA tournament.
PLAYERS TO WATCH:
SARA MCCLINTON, SENIOR
OUTSIDE HITTER
McClinton had an incredible
2013 season, nishing with
the second most kills on the
team at 354, helping her earn
First Team All-Big 12 for the
second consecutive year. She
is just 45 kills away from a
career 1,000.
CHELSEA ALBERS, SENIOR
OUTSIDE HITTER
Albers was the jack of all
trades on last years team,
nishing with 339 kills, 293
digs and 110 blocks, making
her the rst Jayhawk to put up
those stats since 1993. Albers
was honored with an All-Big 12
First Team selection.

UPCOMING SCHEDULE
Kansas Volleyball will host
its annual Crimson and Blue
intrasquad match Saturday
at 1 p.m. inside of Horejsi
Family Athletic Center, and its
also free for anyone to attend.
The team begins the regular
season by hosting Utah Valley,
Lipscomb and Creighton at

on Aug. 29 and 30. Look for the
young Jayhawks to be tested
often at this tournament,
especially against Creighton

COMMENTARY

Club sports have
busy fall schedule
W
ith the fall
s e m e s t e r
b e g i n n i n g ,
football and a few other
sports will take center stage
in Lawrence. Tese NCAA-
sanctioned athletics usually get
most of the attention around
campus, but the fall is also a
busy time for club sports.
A few of these club teams
are swimming, rock climbing,
quidditch and womens soccer.
Each of these clubs have
their own goals, and ways in
which they will look to have a
successful fall season.
Our goal is not necessarily to
build a fast team, our goal is to
provide an environment where
people can make friends, where
people can promote a healthy
lifestyle through exercise,
said Matt Josephson, a third-
year graduate student and the
president of the swimming
club. We have diferent goals
than an NCAA team might
have.
Te team will hold its frst
meeting on September 2 at
6:30 p.m. in Robinson Gym.
Following that meeting, the
team will practice three times
a week. Te fall semester
begins with its frst meet on
Oct. 4 in Dallas. Te team will
then travel to the University
of Colorado on Oct. 25 and
the University of Missouri on
November 8 before ending the
season with a home meet here
in Lawrence on Nov. 22.
Te quidditch team will
look to continue to improve
as itcould be ranked in the top
15 of the country, according to
junior keepers Wil Kenney and
Seth Berkbuegler. Tere will
be a Learn to Play Quidditch
day on Aug. 29 at 5 p.m., and
tryouts take place Sept. 2, 3, 5,
8 and 9 at 6 p.m.
First semester is really about
improvement and getting
people together and playing
together consistently, whereas
second semester is about
preparing for the World Cup,
Kenney said.
Te Kansas Cup competition
will be the highlight of the fall
season and will be on Oct.4 at
8 a.m. Te team won four out
of six games and placed second
in last years Kansas Cup,
behind Arkansas, which went a
perfect 6-0.
Te womens club soccer team
will have a new coach this year,
Mike Sheldon, and tryouts will
be Sept. 1, 3 and 5 from 5-7 p.m.
Te team will be looking to
replace about 10 players from
last years squad.
Te team will take the feld
for the frst time on Sept. 12
when they travel to Manhattan
to face the Wildcats in the frst
game of the Kansas/Missouri
Soccer League (KSML) season.
For rock climbing, there
are no set events until the
spring season, but the fall is an
important time to learn about
rock climbing and get more
experience as a climber.
[Te rock climbing club
is] all about learning and
teaching, sophomore Luke
Huttner said. But really its just
about people getting prepared
to climb outdoors and make it
a life-long sport. Its not one of
those high-impact things that
you can only do for a few years,
so basically we are trying to
teach everybody how you can
be safe and go climb for a long,
long time.
Te club had about 60
members last year, and is
hoping to expand this year.
Te club has open climbing
hours on the rock wall at
Ambler Student Recreational
Center from 8:30-10:30 p.m. on
weekdays.
MLB
Kratz, Vargas lead
Royals over Twins 6-4
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MINNEAPOLIS Erik
Kratz homered twice afer
replacing an ailing Salvador
Perez, and Jason Vargas
pitched seven strong innings
to lead the frst-place Kansas
City Royals to a 6-4 victory
over the Minnesota Twins on
Monday night.
Vargas (10-5) allowed one
run on four this and struck
out three, but had his scoreless
innings streak snapped at 17
when Oswaldo Arcia hit a solo
homer in the seventh. Perez
had two hits and two RBIs
before leaving in the seventh
because of discomfort in his
right knee, helping theRoyals
win for the 21st time in 26
games.
Kansas City extended its lead
over the idle Detroit Tigers in
the AL Central to two games.
Trevor May (0-2) gave up
three runs on seven hits and
walked four in 4 2-3 innings
for the Twins.
When Perez lef, Kratz came
in as a pinch hitter and drove
a pitch just over the wall in lef
feld for a 4-0 lead. He added a
solo shot to center in the ninth
for his frst multihomer game.
Trevor Ploufe hit a three-
run homer of Aaron Crow
in the ninth inning, but Greg
Holland came on for his
38th save in 40 tries. Josh
Willingham had three hits and
Alex Gordon and Billy Butler
each had two for the Royals,
who have won eight straight
series for the frst time since
1991.
May made his major league
debut on Aug. 9, and it was a
rough one. He walked seven
batters in two innings and
gave up four runs. He breezed
through four innings of his
home debut, but walked the
bases loaded in the ffh.
Perez followed with a two-
run single and Butler added
an RBI single to give the
Royals a 3-0 lead.
Tat was enough for Vargas,
who has dominated the Twins
this season. He retired 10 in a
row from the second through
sixth while his ofense built
him a cushion.
TRAINERS ROOM
Royals: Perez is day to day
with a sore knee.
Twins: Byron Buxton, one of
the top prospects in baseball,
few to Fort Myers, Florida, to
begin his recovery afer a nasty
outfeld collision at Double-A
New Britain. GM Terry Ryan
said Buxton had a stif neck
and some headaches, but
nothing more serious. Ryan
said he doubts Buxton will
play again this season.
Were all fortunate it ended
up the way it ended up, Ryan
said. Weve seen collisions in
our day, but that one ranked
right up there.
UP NEXT
Te Royals open a two-game
interleague series in Colorado.
RHP James Shields (11-6, 3.29
ERA) starts the opener against
LHP Tyler Matzek (2-8, 5.50).
Te Twins stay home for
a three-game series against
Cleveland. RHP Kyle Gibson
(11-9, 3.96) starts the opener
against RHP Trevor Bauer
(4-7, 4.35).

JAYHAWK DEPTH CHART
Get to know Kansas roster from the inside out
OFFENSE
DEFENSE
OFFENSE:
QUARTERBACK
Te Jayhawks will have a new
quarterback under center this
season. Sophomore Montell
Cozart, who is their third
quarterback in the last three
years, won the starting job
afer the spring game. Senior
wide receiver Nick Harwell
said Cozart has shown great
leadership, especially for a
true sophomore. Weis said
that hes glad Cozart played
the last three games last
season because it has helped
him grow as a leader and a
player.
RUNNING BACK
With devastating injuries
to senior running backs
Brandon Bourbon and Taylor
Cox, Mann has the best
chance to become the starter.
Before the injuries, Coach
Charlie Weis said Mann didnt
come to Kansas to sit on the
bench and would get his
chance to become the starter.
He is a junior college transfer
from Hartnell College, where
he rushed for 1,706 yards last
season.
TIGHT END
Kansas has its frst Mackey
Award (college best tight
end) watch list tight end in
Jimmay Mundine, but the
senior tight end, who led the
Jayhawks with fve touchdown
receptions last season, could
miss the opening week as
he will be recovering from
a minor knee surgery. If
Mundine does miss game
time, senior Trent Smiley, who
competed with Mundine for
the starting spot last season,
will get his shot as the starter.
Smiley started two games last
season, but caught only two
balls for 21 yards.
WIDE RECEIVERS
Tis position went from the
weakest to the strongest since
the start of the summer. Senior
Nick Harwell, who sat out
last season afer transferring
from Miami-Ohio, will start
in the slot. Harwell has been
named to the Biletnikof
Award watch list, and he says
he wants to become the frst
KANSAS receiver since Kerry
Meier to catch more than 80
balls. Senior Justin McCay
will start at wide receiver
and Tony Pierson will be
the other starting receiver
split out wide. Weis said
that McCay barely beat out
junior Rodriguez Coleman
this summer, and Weis said
that Pierson has become a
solid receiver afer converting
from running back. Behind
Pierson on the depth is Nigel
King, who transferred from
Maryland this summer afer
graduating. King is 6-foot-
3, which gives the Jayhawks
more size on the outside.
OFFENSIVE LINE
Te linemen are the most
experienced position on the
ofensive side. Te ofensive
line is returning lef tackle
Pat Lewandowski, lef guard
Ngalu Fusimalohi, right
guard Mike Smithburg and
right tackle Damon Martin.
Fusimalohi is the only
lineman to gain recognition
this ofseason as hes placed on
the Polynesian player of the
year watch list. Junior Keyon
Haughton, a junior college
recruit, is the current starting
center, but freshman Jacob
Bragg could end up there
when the dust is settled. Bragg
is a former Under Armour
All-American center, and
Weis said he has potential to
start as a true freshman.


DEFENSE
SECONDARY
Seniors Dexter McDonald
And JaCorey Shepherd are
both returning cornerbacks,
and senior free safety Cassius
Sendish is the voice of the
entire secondary because
hes a natural leader, Weis
said. Te lone junior in the
secondary is strong safety
Isaiah Johnson. Johnson is a
returning starter, 2014 Big 12
defensive newcomers of the
year and 2014 Big 12 honorable
mention. Johnson led the
Jayhawks last season with
fve interceptions. Due to the
amount of passing the Big 12
conference does, the Jayhawks
will be forced to play a nickel
back for the majority of games.
As of the moment, sophomore
Greg Allen will be the starter,
but Weis said that Kevin Short
has played well in the summer
and could see playing time at
the nickel.
LINEBACKERS
Tis position has the most
upside among any defensive
positions because of the talent
and experience it brings to the
feld. Senior Ben Heeney is the
leader of the linebacker core,
and hes reached numerous
watch lists including the
Bednarik watch list, which
is the award for colleges best
linebacker. Junior Jake Love,
who started eight games
last season, will be playing
alongside Heeney as the will
linebacker. Senior Michael
Reynolds led the Jayhawks with
6.5 sacks last season, and he will
return to the buck (outside)
linebacker this season.
DEFENSIVE LINE
Tere are still a lot of
questions along the defensive
front. Who will start at the
two defensive end? Right now
juniors Ben Goodman and
Andrew Bolton have those
spots locked up, but that can
change. Goodman will be the
returning starter, and he was
second on the Kansas team
with three sacks in 2013.
On the other hand, Bolton
hasnt proven anything while
he redshirted last season
afer joining Kansas from
junior college. Watch out for
junior T.J. Semke to challenge
Bolton for playing time, and
maybe to start. Te rock of
the defensive line has to be
senior and two-year starter
Keon Stowers. Te whole
Kansas team voted Stowers
one of the permanent team
captains.

LGPA
Inbee Park wins second
straight championship
ASSOCIATED PRESS
With freworks reverberating
all around as the LPGA Tour
marked the end of an era,
Inbee Park soaked in the
moment.
It defnitely feels (like) a big
honor to actually put my name
on the trophy twice, Park said
Sunday night afer winning
the LPGA Championship in a
playof for the second straight
time. Just very happy to be
part of history.
Calm under the intense
pressure of a playof at a major,
Park added another title to her
impressive resume as the tour
bade farewell to the Rochester
area afer 38 years. Next year,
the tour will team with the
PGA of America to run the
Womens PGA Championship
at Westchester Country Club
outside New York City.
Park beat Brittany Lincicome
with a par on the frst hole of
a playof to end the United
States major streak at three.
I didnt feel that nervous at
all today, Park said. But once
I got to the tee on the playof
hole, I just felt the nerves right
away. It was like a replay of last
year and experience defnitely
helped me out. I think I was
able to stay calm.
Lincicome was poised to win
her second major and keep
that American streak alive, but
her nerves got the best of her
afer she led all day.
Not being in this position
for a while, I think it all caught
up with me, Lincicome said.
Being second at a major is
always a good thing. I feel like
I played really, really well this
week. If I keep playing the way
I did, my times coming soon.
It was nice to be in contention
again.
On the playof hole on
Monroe Golf Clubs par-4
18th, Park hit her second shot
into the rough behind the hole.
Lincicome hit her approach to
the lef fringe, nearly identical
to her position on the fnal
hole of regulation when she
made a bogey to fall into the
playof.
Lincicome chipped 6 feet
past the hole and failed to
convert. Park, the winner last
year at Locust Hill Country
Club in a playof with Catriona
Matthew that took three holes,
chipped to 3 feet and calmly
sank her par putt for her ffh
major title and fourth in the
last two seasons.
Inbee is so darn good. It was
so close, Lincicome said. I
need to learn how to control
the nerves a little bit more.
Park fnished with a 2-under
70 to match Lincicome at
11-under 276. Lincicome had
a 71.
Americans had won the frst
three majors of the LPGA Tour
season for the frst time since
1999. Lexi Tompson began
the run at Kraf Nabisco,
Michelle Wie won the U.S.
Womens Open and Mo Martin
the Womens British Open.
Te 26-year-old Park, from
South Korea, was coming of a
playof loss to Mirim Lee last
week in Michigan. Park also
won this season in Canada and
has 11 LPGA Tour victories.
Ive been in many playofs,
said Park, who joined Nancy
Lopez and Patty Sheehan as
the only players to win twice
in a row at Rochester. Its not
something I look forward to
doing because theres so much
pressure. I feel lucky I got an
opportunity today.
Park is projected to jump
from third to second in the
world, passing 17-year-old
Lydia Ko of New Zealand. Ko,
trying to become the youngest
major winner in LPGA history,
shot a 70 to fnish third at 8
under.
Spains Azahara Munoz (70)
and Swedens Anna Nordqvist
(71) tied for fourth at 6 under.
Lincicome squandered
the lead on the fnal hole of
regulation. She hit her second
shot to the lef fringe and was
in a good spot, but a long delay
for a ruling on a shot by Suzann
Pettersen only heightened the
tension, and it showed.
With top-ranked Stacy Lewis
among the gallery clapping,
Lincicome lef her frst putt 8
feet short and failed to make
par, forcing the playof.
I was really nervous coming
down the stretch. I was
shaking like a leaf, Lincicome
said. Its hard to do anything
when youre shaking.
Pettersen, a two-time major
winner, started the day a shot
behind as she chased her frst
win this year. But her day went
badly at the start and she shot
4-over 76. She tied for sixth
at 5 under with Lewis, Julieta
Granada, Shanshan Feng and
Lee.
Parks clutch birdie putt at
No. 17 put her in position to
challenge and her par save at
18 was crucial. Her approach
on the closing hole landed in
the rough to the right of the
green and she botched her
shot out. Her 12-foot putt lef
no margin for error and the
crowd roared when it rolled in.
Lincicome had held the
54-hole lead at a major only
once before, at the 2006
U.S. Womens Open, but she
faltered with a closing 78 and
fnished seventh. Tis time,
she shook of the nerves until
the end as the chance to win
her second major ended in
disappointment. Lincicome
won the 2009 Kraf Nabisco.
Te tour made the switch
this year to Monroe afer 37
years at nearby Locust Hill.
Te Donald Ross-designed
course is about 300 yards
longer at 6,717 yards and does
not have a single water hazard,
but it does feature 106 bunkers,
more than double the number
at Locust Hill, and the wider
fairways favor long hitters
just not enough in the end.
Tournament ofcials
estimated 25,000 people
attended the fnal round and
100,000 for the four days.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Inbee Park reacts after she pars the 18th hole to win the Wegmans LPGA golf
championship in Pittsford, N.Y., Aug. 17. Park successfully defended her title in
the LPGA Championship, beating Brittany Lincicome with a par on the rst hole
of a playoff Sunday to end the United States major streak at three.
Former Kansas shooting
guard Andrew White III
has announced his plans to
transfer to Nebraska.
White will have to sit
out one season and then
will receive two years of
eligibility. Once a coveted
top-50 recruit, White saw
his playing time diminish
last season with the likes of
Brannen Greene and Conner
Frankamp coming of the
bench.
Playing 25 games his
freshman year, White saw
just 18 games his sophomore
and failed to crack the
regular rotation. He averaged
just 2.4 points in 6.3 minutes
last year for Kansas. White
tallied 43 total games and
100 points in his two-year
career at Kansas. His career
high in points came against
Belmont in his frst year in
which he amassed 15 points.
A threat from long-range,
most of Whites points came
from beyond the arc.
Whites biggest moment
likely came in his frst season
with the Jayhawks when
White came in for Elijah
Johnson against Oklahoma
State in the second half.
White provided six points,
notching one 3-pointer and
a few free throws down the
stretch of a tight game when
Marcus Smart eventually
upset the Jayhawks at Allen
Fieldhouse.
In a statement released by
the school in May, White
summed up his reasoning
why he decided to cut ties
with the school. I spoke with
my family and the coaches
several times throughout the
spring and afer the season
ended, discussing what my
expected role would be on
the team, White said in the
release. Coach Self told me
it would be questionable to
break into the rotation. My
family and I decided it would
be the best choice to move
on and explore other school
options.
Te 6-foot-6 wing chose the
Cornhuskers over Maryland
and Notre Dame.
White leaves a program
that is well established as one
of the best in the country and
joins another that is trying to
get its footing. Last season,
the Cornhuskers made the
NCAA tournament for the
frst time since 1998, and
now with White, and juniors
Terran Petteway and Shavon
Shields returning, Nebraska
will look for its frst regular
season championship since
1950.

On a warm, sun-splashed
Saturday afernoon, just three
weeks before opening kickof,
the Kansas football team
took the feld for practice at
Memorial Stadium in front
of some of its most loyal fans.
Fan Appreciation Day 2014
on Saturday marked the fnal
opportunity for fans to catch
a glimpse of this years team
before the start of the season,
and many took full advantage.
Among them was 4-year-old
Liam Hof, joined by his father,
Brad Hof, from Topeka.
Coachs Corner season ticket
holders for the past three years,
the Hofs havent seen many
Kansas victories just six
to be exact. But the Hofs are
not discouraged and instead
are excited by the teams talent
this year. Especially a certain
mainstay on the ofense.
Tony! Liam said when
asked who his favorite
Jayhawk was. Hes fast.
Tony Pierson, the senior
running back and wide
receiver from East St. Louis
will be playing his fourth and
fnal season for the Jayhawks.
And Liam is correct: Pierson
is fast.
Tony is faster than (NFL
player) Dexter (McCluster)
by a signifcant, signifcant
margin, Coach Charlie Weis
said in April 2013. Tonys in
that 4.3 (40-yard-dash) range
where Dexter is that 4.5 guy.
Two-tenths, thats signifcant.
As tough as things have been
for Jayhawk enthusiasts lately,
Pierson has been a bright spot.
Always a threat to take it the
distance, Pierson has averaged
over 5.6 yards per carry in
each of the past three seasons,
including a 6.8 average last
year before his head injuries
fared up.
Where is he? Liam asks,
scanning the feld for his hero.
Oh, there he is! Tony!
Tis year, Pierson will serve
mostly as a receiver, where he
transitioned nicely last fall.
His potential, illustrated best
by his 77-yard touchdown
reception against the Rice
Owls on September 14, gives
fans, young and old, hope.
Afer the practice, the Hofs
and the rest of the Jayhawk
fans met their favorite
players for a few words and
autographs. Liam met Tony
and got a picture with him.
Were hopeful, Brad Hof,
a Public Administration alum
from the University of Kansas,
said of the 2014 Jayhawks.
We believe they are going to
do all right.

Sophomore guard Andrew White attempts to steal the ball from his
opponent during a game against Baylor on March 9, 2013.
N
early three months have
passed since the famous kiss
between Michael Sam and
his boyfriend was seen on television
sets all across the nation. He had just
become the frst openly gay player to
be drafed into the NFL afer going
in the seventh round to the St. Louis
Rams.
And now, Sam is looked at by many
as an idol, not only for gay athletes
who may still be hiding their secret
from the public, but also gay people
everywhere. And just last week, anoth-
er football player has followed in his
heroic footsteps.
Edward Chip Sarafn, an ofensive
lineman for the Arizona State Sun
Devils, has come out as gay and is the
frst active collegiate player to come
out. And just like Sam, his teammates,
who have known about his sexual
orientation since last spring, couldnt
be more supportive of the 6-foot-6,
320-pounder from Gilbert, Ariz.
Its not about Sarafn or Sam being a
gay athlete or what they do of of the
feld. Its about their audacity to stand
up against discrimination, instead of
hiding their true identity in fear of how
the public will perceive them. Its about
not living a lie anymore and breaking
the ground for others to do the same
in the future.
In the wake of Sam and Sarafns
public announcement, expect more
athletes to come out as gay. Its only
a matter of time before we see more
of their candid revelations because
more athletes will feel comfortable
making the announcement afer
seeing how the public and teammates
have reacted and supported both Sam
and Sarafn.
Not only will other athletes follow
their courageous act, but also other
citizens, too, who may still be strug-
gling with identifying as gay.
Although Sarafn has yet to play in
an actual game for the Sun Devils, his
courage to be himself and help others
break out of their shell is what he will
be known for. And, in addition to be-
coming a model athlete to others, he
is actively involved with community
groups that spe-
cialize in ending
di s cr i mi nat i on
and bullying in
youth sports.
Sam supported
Sarafns bravery via
his Twitter account.
Congratulations to
Chip Sarafn for having the courage
to be yourself. Wishing you and your
teammates much success this season.
#courage2014.
All in all, sports need more Michael
Sams and Chip Sarafns to become
role models for those athletes and cit-
izens who may be living in limbo in
deciding whether or not to publicly
announce themselves as homosexual.

WANT SPORTS UPDATES ALL DAY LONG?
Newton, Stewart lead
Panthers past Chiefs
CHARLOTTE, N.C. If
Carolina Panthers Coach
Ron Rivera has his way, Cam
Newton wont be running as
many read-option plays as he
has in the past.
If Jonathan Stewart runs
the way he did Sunday night,
Newton wont need to.
Newton made a successful
return following ankle
surgery, Stewart ran for two
touchdowns and the Panthers
beat the Kansas City Chiefs 28-
16 in a preseason game.
Newton completed 4 of 9
passes for 65 yards and led
a pair of touchdown drives
before exiting late in the second
quarter with Carolina (1-1) up
14-6. Stewart ran for 26 yards
on four carries and made a
strong case to be the Panthers
goal-line back if not their
primary ball carrier with
scoring runs of 3 and 2 yards.
Newton has been hit more
than any quarterback in the
NFL over the past three seasons
and Rivera has said hed like to
reduce the wear and tear on his
franchise quarterback.
If we can run the ball
efectively with the backs and
not have to rely on him running
we would much rather do that,
Rivera said.
And thats fne with Newton.
Im trying to win football
games and if that is saying,
Cam hand the ball of every
play. Cam run the ball down
the feld 20 yards like a chicken
with his head cut of every play.
Cam drop back and throw the
ball. Cam go get everybody a
drink of water. ... Whatever is
asked of me, I will do to try to
win the football game, Newton
said.
Newton was rusty early.
Carolinas frst three
possessions netted a yard
and no frst downs. Newton
compounded the problem by
overthrowing Kelvin Benjamin
on a deep ball afer the rookie
receiver got behind the
secondary.
But Stewart replaced
DeAngelo Williams and
immediately gave the Panthers
a boost with a 17-yard carry
around lef end. Te Panthers
found their rhythm afer that,
driving 66 and 50 yards for
touchdowns on their next two
possessions.
We had a slow start tonight,
which is unacceptable,
Newton said. We have to stay
on schedule and not waste
opportunities like the shot to
Benji. Kansas Citys a good
football team and we didnt
match their intensity early.
Kansas Citys Alex Smith
fnished 14 of 22 for 127 yards.
Te Chiefs (1-1) moved the
ball well early on without star
running back Jamaal Charles,
but were forced to settle for
a pair of feld goals one
of them a 54-yarder by Ryan
Succup.
We did some good things,
Smith said. We moved the
ball on a stout defense. We just
didnt fnish, but self-inficted
things tonight.
Kansas Citys search for
a reliable No. 2 receiver
continues.
Dwayne Bowe, who will miss
the frst game of the regular
season because of an NFL-
imposed suspension, had fve
catches for 62 yards but none of
the Chiefs other wide receivers
stood out.
Rookie quarterback Aaron
Murrays frst NFL pass
completion was for a 43-yard
touchdown strike to tight end
Travis Kelce, but he later threw
an interception leading to a
Carolina touchdown.
Newton had to shake of
some early rust.
He missed on fve of his frst
six passes and was sacked for
a 13-yard loss, leading to three
straight three-and-outs to start
the game.
Carolina benefted from a 32-
yard pass interference penalty

Parker that set up Stewarts

3 THOUGHTS FROM CAMP
1) Te defensive line is
smaller than it was last season,
but it could be more athletic.
Defensive lineman Keon
Stowers looks bigger and
better than ever, though. He
has NFL potential written all
over him. Kansas needs the
rest of the group to step up.

2) Te ofensive line is still in
a state of fux. Nothing is set
in stone on the frst team, but
they have some big bodies that
look OK. Well see how they
come together chemistry-wise.

3) Kicker Matthew Wyman
did not impress. Special teams
play lef a lot to be desired.

PLAYERS TO WATCH
1) KEVIN SHORT
As solid as Kansas secondary
was last season, we may have
not yet seen the best it has to
ofer. Ineligible last season,
Short enters 2014 at 6-foot-2,
195 pounds and has a Aqib
Talib-like lock-down potential.

2) COREY AVERY
Avery is quietly playing his
way into the starting lineup.
He keeps his pads low, has a
nice burst and is strong a
Big 12 ready body at 5-foot-
10, 195 pounds. He can be
compared with former Kansas
State running back John
Hubert.

Editors note: On Aug. 19,
Athletics announced senior
running backs Brandon
Bourbon and Taylor Cox are
out for the season with a torn
ACL and torn Achiles tendon,
respectively.
1) Tis spread ofense will
make Kansas football fun to
watch. I had a chance to watch
this new ofense a few days
against no defense and I have
to say it is something to watch
out for. Tis will no doubt
work best for Montell Cozart,
who will value his speed, but
the spread will especially
beneft Tony Pierson. Pierson
was lined up all over the feld
in this spread and it should
be fun to watch how they use
him.
2) Tis is the best wide
receiver core in the Weis-era.
Of course I know this isnt
saying much since it seems as
if Weis picked up students of
Jayhawk Boulevard the past
two years. When you look at
this roster you can actually
recognize these names. Seniors
Justin McCay, Nick Harwell
and Tony Pierson will lead
the way. Add in recent senior
transfer Nigel King and now
this looks to be the strength of
the ofense.
3) James Sims will be
forgotten. Tat may be going
a little overboard, but what I
mean is this backfeld will still
be good. Brandon Bourbon
looks to be flling the shoes of
the long lost Sims but behind
him is a very deep backfeld.
Senior Taylor Cox and junior
transfer DeAndre Mann will
see plenty of time on the
feld this year. Even freshman
running back Corey Avery is
expected to see some playing
time.

PLAYERS TO WATCH
1) KEVIN SHORT
Afer playing his frst two
years at nearby Fort Scott
Community College, Short
was redshirted last year at
Kansas. During camp he was
in a position battle at right
corner with JaCorey Shepherd.
Even if Short loses the battle, I
fully expect him to mix in the
secondary this year and have a
huge impact on the defensive
side of the ball. Its clear from
talking with him that Short is
a competitor and wants to see
the feld. He has the ability to
make plays and should mix in
some time as the kick returner.
2) NIGEL KING
King becoming a Jayhawk
happened so fast. Te former
Maryland Terrapin was
listed on the depth chart
immediately on report day and
looks to add to this already
talented unit. He was expected
to jump in day one and keep
up with guys who had been
here all spring. Coaches have
raved about his ability to
quickly adapt to everything.
King possesses the talents and
if he continues to understand
this new ofense, he should see
the feld immediately.
By Stella Liang
sports @kansan.com
1) Montell Cozart is ready
to be a leader. He is really
confdent and composed.
Te past two seasons, the
quarterback position has
been somewhat of a mystery,
but Cozarts game experience
at Kansas last year gives him
a great starting point. Te
19-year-old from Kansas City,
Mo., says he wants to be a
hometown hero.
2) Te backfeld is a
crowded place. Seniors
Brandon Bourbon and Taylor
Cox have shown fashes
of what they are capable
of. Newcomers DeAndre
Mann and Corey Avery will
compete for time. Ultimately,
the ofense might settle into
running back by committee.
3) John Reagans new
spread ofense will not mean
the team will become a one-
dimensional passing team.
Players have said the ofense
will open up the run game,
too. Charlie Weis said the
team will not throw 60 or 70
passes a game.
PLAYERS TO WATCH
1) MONTELL COZART
Tis is probably the most
obvious answer, but a big part
of the teams success lies on his
shoulders. He had accuracy
problems last season, which
he said he is working on. Te
ofense needs a consistent
quarterback.
2) CASSIUS SENDISH
Te senior safety returns
for his second year afer
transferring from junior
college. He started all of the
games last season, including
one where he had 12 tackles.
He leads an experienced
secondary.
3) NIGEL KING
Te wide receiver who very
recently transferred to Kansas
is expected to make a big
impact. Te whole receiving
corps needs to step up from
last year.
1) Tere is a lot of
improvement in the secondary.
Te secondary has all four
returning starters for the
2014 season including 2014
Big 12 defensive newcomer
of the year Isaiah Johnson,
who led the Jayhawks with
fve interceptions. Also,
the size of the corners have
caught attention as the whole
secondary is over 6 foot tall.

2) Te Jayhawks only had
one player earn All-Big 12
honors last season. Tat player
was senior linebacker Ben
Heeney, who was placed on
the All-Big 12 second team.
Weis said Heeney has taken
younger linebackers under his
wing such as highly recruited
freshman Kyron Watson.
Heeney will enter the 2014
season on the Bednarik watch
list for the top linebacker in
the country.

3) Te ofensive line brings
back four of the fve starters,
and starting quarterback
Montell Cozart said hes
comfortable in the pocket with
all the size protecting him
four of the fve ofesive linemen
are over 300 pounds. Te size
of junior Larry Mazyck, who is
a 6-foot-8, 360-pound junior
college recruit, will help him
compete for the starting lef
tackle job, and push senior
lineman Pat Lewandowski,
who was the center last season,
back to center.

PLAYERS TO WATCH
1) COREY AVERY
Te true freshman has been
on campus for less than a
month, but hes making his
name heard. Corey Avery
brings a lot of speed on the
ofensive side of the ball, and
ofensive coordinator John
Reagan said he doesnt know
if Avery will play running back
or receiver. Te Dallas native
isnt on the two-deep depth
chart, but watch for him to see
playing time in the backfeld
and in the slot this season.

2) DEANDRE MANN
Te Kansas backfeld has
been crowded this summer
with a lot of competition.
DeAndre Mann, whos a junior
college recruit, stepped in this
summer and has shown he can
compete for the starting role.
Mann is third on the depth
chart behind seniors Brandon
Bourbon and Taylor Cox, but
Weis said Mann didnt come to
Kansas to sit on the bench.

3) CASSIUS SENDISH
Defensive coordinator Clint
Bowen and Weis said that
Cassius Sendish is a natural
leader and hes a voice of
the defense. Tis season will
be Sendishs second season
starting at safety afer two
years at a junior college.
AARON GROENE/KANSAN
Senior wide receiver Tony Pierson will be a jack-of-all-trades on offense,
playing running back and wide receiver in different formations.

diferent benefts to having

anticipates more than 1,200
students will attend the fair,
which would be similar to last
years attendance numbers. She
said students will be reminded
about the event through emails
and social media messages.
Te great thing about going
to a job fair is the opportunity
to meet face-to-face with
employers and make a good
impression. Hartley said.
When you apply online, you
are just another application.
But when you meet someone
at a job fair, you engage in a
conversation and they get to
know you as a real person.

For incoming freshmen,
the task of picking an area
of study can seem daunting.
Many enter college with the
idea a major must be locked
down by their freshman year,
and as a result, struggle with
the decision. Contrary to
this popular belief, academic
advisor Hall Alexander said
he does not believe it is
important to choose a major
right away.
When I look back on
[my own decision process],
picking the major from the
get-go was not necessarily
the most important part,
Alexander said. It was
finding something that I
excelled at naturally. So it
really comes down to what
youre interested in, and it
can be kind of an exploratory
process.
Should a student be in the
deciding process, Alexander
and his fellow academic
advisor John Nelson-Hronek
compiled a list of six basic
things students should
complete in order to help
them narrow down what
they would like to study.
1. Get familiar with the
KU Core: The KU Core was
implemented last fall and
establishes six educational
goals for all undergraduates
that are designed to crop
fundamental skills and build
a background of knowledge.
The curriculum, however,
is not a designated set of
courses, and allows for
flexibility and exploration,
which is why Nelson-
Hronek said the program
has been incredibly useful
for students still figuring out
what they want to do.
2. Enroll in University 101:
The course is an orientation
seminar and gives
students an opportunity
to get acclimated to
resources, expectations
and opportunities at the
University. According to
Nelson-Hronek, the course
allows students to find
their niche by focusing
on preparation, academic
planning and exploration.
The instructors of the
course provide students
with excellent connections,
Alexander said, and help
make campus seem a little
smaller.
3. Meet with an advisor: It is
important to meet with ones
designated advisor twice
annually, before enrollment,
Nelson-Hronek said. One-
on-one advising is always
helpful for students who
are either unsure what they
want to major in or wish to
change their major. Advisors
evaluate the pros and cons of
options presented, and guide
students in the direction the
student wishes to go.
4. Explore the University
Career Center and catalog:
Nelson-Hronek said he
often referred deciding
students to the career center,
which offers a variety of
assessments to test ones
aptitude on different
variables and provides fields
or industries the student
would do well in based on
the scores.
To an average freshman,
you think that careers are
four years down the road and
you dont care, Alexander
said. But thats not how
you should think about it.
Life exists after KU, so start
planning for it early.
5. Check out the majors
fair and the career fair: The
University has an annual
majors and career fair a
perfect place for students
who are wishing to broaden
their horizons on specific
areas of study. At the majors
fair, every department and
school is represented so
deciding students can visit
with faculty about potential
majors or courses they find
interesting. Following that,
employers from all over
the Kansas City area are
brought to the University
to talk with students about
potential careers. According
to Alexander, the fairs are
a great place to figure out
what some options are
that perhaps had not been
previously considered.
6. Know your values:
According to Nelson-
Hronek, students must know
their values so they know
what they want to get out of
the University and life.
You get out the work you
put in here, Alexander said.
You can get a Harvard-level
education here at KU if thats
the amount of work you put
into your studies. Youre in
the drivers seat of your own
education.
Both Nelson-Hronek and
Alexander agree there is no
set equation to figuring out
what one wishes to study.
The human mind changes
drastically between ages 18
and 22, and the brain does
not stop maturing until 25,
which breeds indecision. It is
not uncommon for a student
to change their minds.
Take chances, Nelson-
Hronek said. Take a course
you might not know much
about. There isnt a perfect
formula to the process,
which is ultimately why its
so awesome. The fear of
not knowing is what makes
exploring, exploring. Its
what makes college, college.
The aspect of taking a chance
or risk on something.

Students hunt for cheap textbooks
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Its the middle of summer
and while many other
students are hanging out at
the beach or preoccupied with
jobs, Elizabeth Rodriguez
is emailing instructors for
information about the books
she will need as a junior
this fall at California State
University, Dominguez Hills.
Her method is to fnd the
books early and cheaply
through online sites such as
Amazon.com and EBay rather
than paying full price for texts
that can cost upward of $300 at
the school bookstore.
Te strategy is much simpler
for Cal State, San Marcos,
senior Jefrey J. J. Gutowski.
Hes stopped buying books
altogether, unless he is
convinced he needs them to
pass a course, and then he will
share a classmates text or rent
one online.
Such pushbacks to the
soaring costs of textbooks
have not gone unnoticed by
ofcials at California State
University, which began a
new efort recently to ofer
more afordable options such
as digital textbooks, rentals,
buy-back programs and, most
signifcantly, incentives for
faculty to redesign courses
to use low-cost or no-cost
alternatives to textbooks.
Te 23-campus Cal State
system is also leading a joint
endeavor with the University
of California and community
colleges to develop an online
library of free textbooks in 50
popular courses.
As colleges look to reduce
the overall cost of education,
many are centering eforts
on course materials, which,
according to Cal State ofcials,
sets an average student back
more than $1,000 annually.
Tats an 18 percent addition
to an undergraduates annual
$5,472 tuition. According to
the UC website, students pay
about $1,500 for textbooks
and supplies, adding about
11 percent to the $13,200 in
overall tuition and fees. And
at California community
colleges, many students can
pay more for textbooks than
for course fees, ofcials said.
A national student survey
released in January by the
U.S. Public Interest Research
Group Foundation found that
65 percent of respondents
said they didnt purchase a
textbook because it was too
expensive even though
most feared that their grades
would sufer.
Making course materials
more afordable has become
key to increasing student
success, said Gerry Hanley, Cal
States assistant vice chancellor
for academic technology
services.
My goal is to cut costs by
50 percent for all students,
said Hanley, who oversees
the initiative that helps
faculty fnd low-cost teaching
materials. My real desire is
to make materials free for
everyone, but I recognize that
the creation of content and
publication is real work.
Students saved an estimated
$30 million total in 2013-14 in
Cal State bookstores by using
digital textbooks, renting print
copies, buying used ones and
using other sources, Hanley
said.
A student looking for the
intermediate accounting
textbook at the Dominguez
Hills bookstore, for example,
would fnd a new copy for
$318.75 and a used one for
$239.25. Renting a new copy
would cost $191.25 and a
used copy $153, while a digital
version of the text costs $59.49.
Last spring, about 50,000
digital textbook titles were
available to Cal State students
and faculty systemwide.
Despite the growth of digital
formats, the trend is for
students to rent hardbacks,
campus store manager Brian
Lacey said.

Whether its 90 or 30
degrees outside, students
will still huddle around the
bus stops waiting for the
bus.
Margretta de Vries,
administrative professional
for KU Parking and Transit,
said more than 927,000
passengers were logged
last year for Route 43 to
Daisy Hill. That was just
one of three bus routes that
circulate campus.
With so many riders,
buses are bound to slow
their service as new
students learn the system.
To make the most of your
own bus experience, make
sure to follow these rules:
Know the bus routes: Bus
route maps are listed at
each bus stop on campus.
They show a color-coded
diagram of the bus routes
that pass by the stop.
Complete maps of all of the
bus routes can be found in
the KU Parking & Transit
office near the Allen
Fieldhouse Garage.
KNOW THE BUS SCHEDULES:
Bus schedules are typically
posted alongside the bus
route diagrams at bus stops.
Students can also find out
when a bus is coming with
a new text message system.
More information about
the system can be found
at lawrencetransit.org. De
Vries said that a new mobile
app for iPhone and Android
will be coming out in the
next few weeks.
It will be real-time bus
location information. You
tell it where you are, it tells
you when the buses are
coming. I think its going to
be awesome, de Vries said.
Knowing the bus schedule
might also lighten the
crowds that form around
buses, making them operate
more efficiently.
PAY ATTENTION TO THE TIME:
According to de Vries, bus
traffic is heaviest between 9
a.m. and 1 p.m. and slowest
around 4 p.m.
MOVE TO THE BACK OF THE
BUS: This is simply common
courtesy. Sara Anderson,
a senior majoring in
German and Global and
International Studies, put
it very simply. Move to
the back of the bus if youre
standing. No one likes it
when the driver yells.
In addition to bus routes,
the University also offers
SafeBus and SafeRide
services. SafeRide gives
students a ride home
from anywhere inside the
city limits seven nights
a week. SafeBus also
gives rides home, but it
operates on three fixed
routes connecting campus,
downtown and student
residential areas with the
highest number of SafeRide
rides. Both services are
free to University students,
but riders must have their
KU ID cards. SafeRide
passengers may also be
required to provide proof
of address, according to
safebus.ku.edu.
Despite the ongoing
construction, Jayhawk
Boulevard will be open for
bus travel by the time that
school starts on Aug. 25.

HOUSING
Dorms provide
opportunity,
convenience
LIZ KUHLMANN
@LizKuhlmannUDK
Tere is no shortage of
decisions to make for incoming
freshmen in the months before
ofcially becoming college
students, yet one of the most
pressing is deciding whether to
live on campus or of campus.
Courtney Layton, a
sophomore from Olathe,
said she would recommend
living on campus because of
the opportunities the dorms
present. Had she not lived in
Oliver Hall, Layton said she
would not have met some of
her best friends.
Its an easier way to get to
know the campus better and
fnd your way around, Layton
said. Its a good opportunity
to meet all diferent kinds of
people. Its a lot of fun.
Jennifer Burlingham
Wamelink, associate director
for residence life, said the
dorms provide more than a
chance to meet new people.
Te housing administration
guarantees students academic
support, convenience and
safety, Wamelink said.
Housing trains its staf
and residential aides to
be knowledgeable about
University services and
resources and in helping
students get connected to these
services at the time a student
would need them. Housing also
has several academic service
partners who bring their
services to the halls.
Te dorms also are a great
source of convenience to
students. Wamelink said there
is no need for students living in
residence halls to worry about
dividing up rent or budgeting
money for food as student
housing is just one payment on
the tuition and fee bill, which
includes dining. Te dorms are
also on the University bus route
and are in close proximity to all
sorts of activities and events.
Living on campus has its
safety perks as well. Student
housing has trained its staf in
responding to situations and
moments of crisis, and all staf
members are knowledgeable
about safety on campus.
According to Wamelink,
housing has collaborations with
the Universitys public safety
ofce on campus and also has
cameras set up at entrances and
exits to dorms.
Another common concern
among frst year students is
transportation. While some
students will arrive in Lawrence
with a car of their own, both
Layton and Wamelink said
having no personal way to
get around is absolutely no
problem at all with the number
of buses zigzagging through
campus.
Most of my friends didnt
have [a car], Layton said. Its
not a big deal at all. Te buses
have stops all over campus
and you can ask a friend with a
car for a ride.
According to Layton, it is
incredibly easy to get involved
at the University and in the
dorms, so there is never a
need to feel isolated or bored
if a student is in Lawrence
without their own means of
transportation.
Trough my dorm we had
a lot of things going on like
the Big Event, which is a big
community service event
that takes place in Lawrence,
Layton said. Tere are
plenty of community service
opportunities, especially
through Greek life. Tere is also
literally a club for everything.
If there isnt, then you can
start your own. Teres always
something going on; theres just
so much to do.
Whether it is dashing from
one class to another, joining
a club or organization, or just
hanging out with friends in
the dorms, Layton said most
students are kept fairly busy
if they are not afraid to put
themselves out there.
Dont restrict yourself,
Layton said. If you want to
try something new, do it. Dont
limit yourself. If there is an
opportunity for you to join a
club or get an internship, take
it. Living on campus gives
you such great opportunities
because youre in the center of
it all.
Dont restrict yourself. If you

want to try something new,
do it. ... Living on campus
gives you such great oppor-
tunities because youre in the
center of it all.

Grocery stores
offer variety of
options, costs
ANDY NELSON
news@kansan.com
Living on your own for
the frst time can pose many
challenges, one of which is
shopping for groceries for the
frst time. Whether its your
frst time shopping on your
own or youve done it before,
it is important to look for a
store that fts your needs, like
what food options the store
ofers, cost and location. All
of these factors should be
considered before your frst
trip out to the store.
Tere are many options to
choose from in Lawrence, but
the main stores are Hy-Vee,
the Merc, Natural Grocers,
Dillons and Checkers. Stores
like Target and Walmart are
also worth mentioning for
their one-stop shop qualities.
Te Merc ofers a wide
range of organic and healthy
options. Rita York, general
manager, said the store
bans products that contain
ingredients like high fructose
corn syrup, MSG and trans
fats. Because of its large array
of organic products, the
Merc is not necessarily the
cheapest option. Te Merc is
located at 901 Iowa St.
Natural Grocers, much like
the Merc, only sells organic
and natural food. According
to its website, the store does
not sell items that contain
certain ingredients because
of their questionable quality
or safety. Prices are slightly
higher than other stores
in Lawrence because of all
the organic and fair trade
options. Natural Grocers is
located at 23rd Street and
Naismith Drive, next to
Dillons.
Hy-Vee provides lots of
options including fresh
produce, a deli and an organic
section. While the prices
arent always the cheapest
options in town, Hy-Vee puts
out fyers each week to show
the various sales it ofers.
Te store has two locations
in Lawrence, one at Clinton
Parkway and Kasold Drive,
and the other on Sixth Street
near Monterey Way.
Dillons ofers a wide variety
of products including some
organic options and fresh
produce. Te store sends out
fyers detailing that weeks
sales and promotions. Te
store is a good value, just
not always the best. Location
is what sets Dillons apart,
with four stores throughout
Lawrence. Te stores are
located at the corner of Sixth
Street and Wakarusa Drive,
at Sixth Street and Lawrence
Avenue, on Massachusetts
Street near 17th Street, and
on 23rd Street and Naismith
Drive.
Checkers sells a mix of
cheaper generic brands and
name-brand items. Because
of this mix, Checkers has
some of the best prices
around. It also displays its
competitors fyers so that
you know where to go to fnd
the better deal. Te store is
located at 23rd and Louisiana
streets.
There are numerous places
on campus where you can
get something to eat. Each
location has a different
set of options and allow
svarious pay methods. You
can use Beak Em Bucks, KU
Cuisine Cash, debit or credit
cards and cash. What type
of payment can vary from
location to location.
The Underground, located
on the first floor of Wescoe
Hall, features options like
Chick-fil-A, Pizza Hut,
Sushi with Gusto and
Pulse Caf. It is a favorite
among students because of
its convenient on-campus
location and wide variety of
options. The Underground
is open weekdays from 7:30
a.m. to 5 p.m.
The Market, located
on the third floor of the
Kansas Union, offers great
views of Memorial Stadium.
The Market includes Pizza
Hut, World Kitchen and
Sweet Baby Jays. The Market
is open from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Hawk Food Stops are
scattered across campus,
with locations in JRP,
Spahr Library, Murphy
Hall, the Art & Design
Building, Strong Hall and
Watson Library. Each shop
features fresh-made salads,
sandwiches and snacks. The
food stops are an easy option
for a quick stop during the
day. They also set up a stand
on Wescoe Beach on nice
days to serve hot dogs, chips
and drinks. These shops are
open from 8 a.m to 5 p.m.
Pulse Caf is located in the
Kansas and Burge Unions,
the Underground, and the
Studio Caf. The shops offer
coffee, smoothies and other
coffeehouse favorites.

University to host Proud to Be a Jayhawk tailgate
With football season
approaching, preparation
for the annual Proud to Be
a Jayhawk fundraiser has
begun.
Despite its recurrence,
many are unaware of the real
purpose of this event.
Charlie Persinger, director
of University Ceremonies
and Special Events, said the
Proud to Be a Jayhawk title
focuses on fans attending
and supporting the football
team at games. The main
objective of the fundraiser
is to provide a fun and
beneficial way to support
groups associated with the
University.
In order to accomplish
both of these goals, fans are
invited to picnic and tailgate
around Memorial Stadium.
Funds are collected
through Kansas Athletics
from the sale of football
programs and later dispersed
to the chosen beneficiaries.
In the past years, some
of these recipients have
included the Marching
Jayhawks, the Mi Familia
Program, Global Awareness
Program, Center for
Community Outreach and
the Center for Sustainability.
Last years beneficiaries
were the Medical-Legal
Partnership Clinic for the
School of Law and The Big
Event.
Katie Cronin is a clinical
associate professor of law
and works with the Medical-
Legal Partnership Clinic.
She said the MLP Clinic
received $2,650 in proceeds
from last years tailgate. The
funds collected helped low-
income Kansans receive free
legal services as part of their
comprehensive health care.
Fundraisers like the
Proud to Be a Jayhawk
tailgate are critical to
allowing the MLP Clinic to
its clients and provide these
educational opportunities to
law students, Cronin said.
The 2014 recipients have
already been selected and
will be announced via press
release by KU News closer
to the first game Sept. 6
when the Jayhawks will take
on Southeast Missouri at
Memorial Stadium.
Promoting safe tailgating
is another objective of the
event. To do so, a set of rules
is incorporated for the event,
according to Jim Marchiony,
associate athletics director.
He said there is no
tolerance for underage
drinking or disorderly
or unlawful conduct.
Additionally, fans are not
allowed to tailgate with
alcohol during game time
or have alcohol containers
with a capacity greater than
one gallon in the designated
areas. Finally, fans may not
bring alcohol into Memorial
Stadium.
Kansas Athletics also
provides portable toilets,
burn buckets to discard
hot coals, and free shuttle
buses to travel between
designated tailgating areas
and Memorial Stadium.
These designated areas
only allow fans 21 and older
to tailgate. People may
drink alcohol only during
the specified three-hour
tailgating period before
kickoff and during halftime.
The events organizers will
release specific information
regarding shuttle buses,
parking and transit when
they announce this years
beneficiaries.
Once its time for the
first kickoff, there will be
plenty of other activities
similar to the Proud to
Be a Jayhawk fundraiser
for fans to participate in,
courtesy of the Office of KU
Athletics Marketing and Fan
Experience.
They do an outstanding
job of providing some great
activities for families that
arrive early to games while
tailgating, Persinger said.

FITNESS
Getting familiar with the Student Rec Center
MARIA SANCHEZ
@MariaSanchezKU
TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN
Josh Hilger, a junior from Lawrence, shoots during a pickup game at
Ambler Student Recreation Center Tuesday night.
Te parking lot of the Ambler
Student Recreation Fitness
Center is almost always full.
Students who may have had
a long, hard day do not have
to go far to let of some steam
and to do so in good company.
Te Rec ofers students a place
to stay healthy and fnd their
footing among peers.
Although the Rec is a place
to meet new people, it can be
an uncomfortable transition
for new students.
Honestly, when I frst started
going I felt kind of intimidated
because there were so many
people there and I didnt know
where anything was, said
Jessica Brossard, a sophomore
from Prairie Village.
As students walk through
the doors, they must scan their
KU ID card before beginning
their workout. Once inside,
multiple exercise options await
them. Te ground level of the
Rec contains cardiovascular
equipment and weight
training, as well as basketball
and soccer areas. Te bottom
level is where students can
freshen up or change clothes
in the locker rooms, while the
top foor ofers a large walking
or running track.
Jill Urkoski, associate
director of the Rec, said
she sees timid students like
Brossard who may not feel
familiar with the territory and
hopes to eradicate it.
We defnitely want everyone
to know they are welcome
here, Urkoski said. If youre
an individual who has never
been active, please come still.
Brossard said she would
encourage newcomers to tag
along with a friend if they are
feeling overwhelmed.
I would go with friends at
frst to check it out. Tat way
I could learn where everything
was, Brossard said. Plus its
more fun to work out with
friends.
Te Rec ofers ways to ease
the feeling of intimidation for
students in the form of tours
and personal trainers. Urkoski
said stopping by and speaking
with a supervisor could only
help students.
Whether if its they want
to come be active or if its in
between classes, supervisors
are always on duty, Urkoski
said. Tey can just ask, Can
I get a tour today?
Tese tours include an
overview of the facilities and
brief information about the
classes available for students
which can also be found online
at recreation.ku.edu.
Programs available to
students include ftness,
intramurals, outdoor pursuits
and sports clubs. Tese
programs vary from obtaining
personal trainers, joining a
team and competing against
other University intramural
teams, traveling and competing
against other universities, or
renting camping equipment
for the weekend.
Fitness programs like Fit 45
and Zumba, taught by certifed
students, are open to students
for two semesters with the
purchase of a Fit Pass for a fee
of $50. Te Rec will be ofering
55 classes this fall semester.
Whether students have time
to enjoy these programs in
their busy schedule, according
to Urkoski, the times of classes
make it difcult as they are
mainly scheduled during the
morning from 8 a.m. to noon,
when most students are in
class.
Sometimes Im too busy to
get there, Brossard said. I like
that [the Rec is] open pretty
late though because that helps
me have time to go.
Te Recs fall hours are
Monday through Tursday
from 5:30 a.m. to midnight,
Friday from 5:30 a.m. to 10
p.m., Saturday from 9 a.m. to
10 p.m., and Sunday from 9
a.m. to midnight.
Intimidation aside, Brossard
said getting into the groove
and asking questions is a good
way to get familiar with the
recreation center.
It was more just fguring
out what machines I wanted
to use and how they worked,
Brossard said. Dont be
intimidated by all the people
there and if you need help or
have questions there is lots of
staf that you can ask.

CAMPUS
Six essential items every
student needs to survive
AMBER VANERGRIFT
news@kansan.com
Afer spending a year at
the University, sophomores
have experience about what is
necessary to bring to school.
From the simple, everyday
items to the ofeat ideas,
students recommend these
items for a successful year.
A CELLPHONE
Smartphones are efcient
tools for students, as Kathryn
Tompson, a sophomore from
Dallas, explained.
I tend to use it for everything
including notes for classes and
Google information for help in
classes, Tompson said.
Tompson said having a
cellphone at all times can be
benefcial for unexpected
situations.
If you decide to go out you
can always call for a ride home
from a friend or SafeRide,
Tompson said. My phone
does everything for me.
THE PHONE NUMBER
FOR PIZZA SHUTTLE
Food is fuel, and when
students are studying late
at night, fuel is defnitely
necessary. Campus dining
halls are only available at
certain hours, and for some
students that is not enough.
Erin Feller, a sophomore
from Lenexa, said having
the phone number for Pizza
Shuttle is important for late
nights at the library and for
nights out with friends.
Te number for Pizza Shuttle
is (785) 842-1212.
A TO-GO COFFEE MUG
Afer a late night, the
following morning can be
rough. Whether a student has
been studying or socializing,
any night hours not spent
sleeping can require an extra
jolt the next day. Madeline
Bjorklun, a sophomore from
Lenexa, said to stay awake in
class, a to-go cofee mug can
be essential.
Tere are going to be times
when cafeine is going to be
the only thing keeping you
awake, Bjorklun said.
TENNIS SHOES
Campus is full of hills, and
even with the buses, students
do a lot of walking.
Te campus hills are
killers, said Claire Sorensen, a
sophomore from Olathe.
Tennis shoes are ofen
more comfortable than other
footwear when climbing the
hills, making walks to class
more pleasant for students.
CALVES
Even though tennis shoes
can make walking the hills
comfortable, they will not do
the walking for students.
To handle the hills, Jake
Lamb, a sophomore from
Lees Summit, Missouri, said
calf muscles are essential for
students. Afer all, in Lambs
words, the hills are crazy.
A SMILE
Tis is a simple choice, yet
Daniel Gewirtz, a sophomore
from Northbrook, Ill., said it is
an important one.
Putting on an optimistic
appearance is essential for
meeting new people and
possibly networking, Gewirtz
said. Youll never know when
you could possibly be making
another path for yourself into
the future.

CAMPUS
Find a student
organization to be a part of.
Branch yourself out and youll
find that each day campus
feels smaller and smaller.
- Isaac Bahney, junior from
Terre Haute, Ind.
Dont bother looking good
and getting ready for class;
I looked hot every day and I
still dont have a husband.
- TJ Blake, sophomore from
Hutchinson
The most important thing
for freshmen is stay focused.
There are going to be good
times, and bad times, and a
lot of people get distracted in
the ups and downs of college,
but if you can stay focused
on your college goals then
you will succeed even if you
face a few setbacks. - Ben
Schatzel, sophomore from
Leavenworth
Getting involved is the
most important thing a
freshman can do. Through
getting involved, a student
can accomplish many things.
- Quenten Aker, sophomore
from Wichita
Take a ton of photos. You
can change a lot throughout
college. Remembering
freshman year will be proof of
that. - Mitchell Cota, senior
from Overland Park
Be yourself. It may sound
cliche, but I know so many
people that tried to be
something theyre not when
they come to college just to
fit in. When you can be true
to who you are, everything will
fall into place. - Omar Rana,
from Tulsa, Okla.
Actually go to class. Get in
the habits of going. It helps
more than you think. - Abby
Petrulis, junior from Olathe
Be aware of the limits of
your free time. Dont be afraid
to say no. - Mike Holtz,
junior from Olathe
Create a KU bucket list
of all the things you want
to do before you graduate. I
suggest making the list, and
keep adding to it as you find
more cool things to do at KU.
Then you can look back your
senior year and see everything
youve completed. - Kristina
Maude, a junior from Clive,
Iowa

CAMPUS
ALICIA GARZA
@AliciaoftheUDK
A new school year not only
means incoming freshmen, but
outgoing seniors as well. Before
May, graduating students have a
multitude of things to cross off their
treasured bucket lists.
Before I graduate from KU, I want
to
... travel somewhere new on
spring break with my fellow social
work students, get accepted to
the advanced standing masters of
social work program, go to as many
basketball games as possible, sled
down the Hill for the rst time ever
this winter, actually enjoy my senior
year and not stress, explore parts of
campus Ive never been to before,
camp at Clinton Lake, volunteer
somewhere, get out of my comfort
zone, join a club, attend more events
on campus, donate blood, go to ofce
hours, take a class at the Rec, hop on
a random city bus and see where it
takes me, and get good grades.
Chloe Ireland, a senior from Lenexa
... check things off from the bucket
list my friends, Taylor Woodruff, Shelby
Riley, Larren Winn, Rachel Zarich,
Katie Martin and Emilyjane Eichman
and I made: Go to every football and
basketball game, tailgate with our
major [music therapy], actually go to
parent weekend, sled down the hill in
the winter, get to experience all of the
shops and bars downtown.
Laura Wilson, a senior from Lees
Summit, Mo.
Cory Draves, a senior from
Overland Park:
... go on a study abroad trip.
My roommate just got back from
Greece, and he said he loved it.
Ashley Watters, a senior from
Dallas:
... just want to make sure
I attend every football and
basketball game this year.
Max Bearce, a senior from
Johnson City:
... climb on top of Lippincott
Hall. Ive heard its super easy to
get up there. Ive never actually
been in the building, but I want
to scale it for sure.
