From working in a hectic New
York newsroom, to a posh fnancial
institution in London, or a bustling
advertising frm in Kansas City,
University students can apply for a
highly varied range of internships.
However, theres a big distinction
that can determine if a student
chooses to accept that dream job
for the summer or semester: wheth-
er or not theyre going to be paid.
Experience is a crucial require-
ment for graduates seeking to be
hired, according to a 2012 survey
released by Te Chronicle of Higher
Education. Te survey reports that
employers who hire recent college
graduates ranked internship expe-
rience as the most heavily weighted
attribute taken into consideration
during the hiring process. Tis
credential outranked employment
and volunteer experience, major,
GPA and extracurricular activities.
Despite their importance,
students can run into difcul-
ty when trying to secure in-
ternships, and may be forced
to choose an unpaid position.
Brent Wagner, a junior from
Kansas City, Kan., landed a job as
a sales intern for a music agency
in Chicago this past summer. He
was hired for the position because
of previous networking with an
alumnus of his fraternity, who
also happened to be the execu-
tive vice president of sales for the
company Wagner interned for.
Te company allocated a small
stipend to Wagner to help cover his
travel expenses. He decided to stay
with his aunt in the suburbs of Chi-
cago to avoid housing costs, and said
he wouldnt have been able to af-
ford to take the internship if he had
to pay extra costs such as housing.
Wagner said the experience
he had as an intern is applica-
ble to any job he may have in the
future, and that it was worth-
while to do the internship de-
spite the fact that he wasnt paid.
I came to Chicago broke, and I
lef Chicago broke, Wagner said.
But I got to see what
it was like to take the
train into Chicago
every day and go to
work. It got me to see
what its like to work
the 9-to-5 job. I went
into the city every
weekend, and made
new friends. It was
an experience that
changed my life.
Wagner said in-
terning with a company allows
students to see what the inner
workings are, unlike the small
glimpse they may see when stop-
ping in for a quick interview.
Working an internship, whether
its a good or bad experience, can
help you get a better idea of what
you want for your career, said
Kelsey Ploeger, assistant director
at the University Career Center.
You get experience, and expe-
rience can point you in one di-
rection or the other, Ploeger said.
It can keep you on the same path
you were going down for your
future, or get you to try to fnd
something else that you will enjoy.
Ploeger also said that if students
cant aford to work the entire sum-
mer without
being paid,
there are
other ways
to fnd in-
t e r ns h i p s .
If you
know that
being paid
is one of
your num-
ber one pri-
orities, only
search for paid internships,
Ploeger said. Or if theres one
that youre really interested in and
its unpaid, try to talk to that em-
ployer honestly and see if theres
any way you could get paid.
Ploeger said it helps to start the
internship search as early as six
months in advance. Another op-
tion she suggested is splitting time
between a part time job and an in-
ternship if the internship is unpaid.
Paid internships do exist, howev-
er, and are available for students.
Trough connections he made
working at a part-time job on
campus, Josh Adegoke, a senior
from Shawnee, was able to fnd a
paid internship in Pretoria, South
Africa, at the Center for Scien-
tifc and Industrial Research.
Tough he was fortunate
enough to fnd a paid position,
Adegoke says he still thinks un-
paid internships can beneft
students and their job search.
If you cant fnd a paid intern-
ship, its defnitely worth it to do
an unpaid one because experience
is invaluable, Adegoke said. If
you have experience, you have an
edge over someone who doesnt.

Information based on the

Offce booking recap.

Te Lawrence City Com-

mission passed an ordinance
that bans all upholstered fur-
niture on porches and patios
in a close 3-2 vote last Tuesday.
Te ordinance came on the rec-
ommendation of the Lawrence
Fire Department, who says the
indoor furniture that can typ-
ically be found on students
porches is a major fre hazard.
Drew Vonehrenkrook, a senior
from Wichita, sees the reasons for
the ordinance, but isnt quite ready
to give up the comfort of his couch.
One of my buddies over on 13th
and Tennessee actually had some-
one catch his couch on fre, so I
kind of understand where theyre
coming from, Vonehrenkrook
said. But at the same time, we
have a lot of people coming over
and a lot of smokers going in and
out, so its kind of a luxury to have
a comfortable seat and what not.
Te LFD says the furni-
ture usually found on students
porches is typically overstufed
and contains urethane-based
foams, which can cause a regu-
lar couch to burn with the same
intensity of a small minivan.
Trenton Gilkey, a junior from
Hutchinson, doesnt think the ordi-
nance will do much in the way of
stopping fres, given the age of the
houses in the Oread neighborhood.
I think its kind of foolish, he
said. Considering these are all very
old houses around here, youre kind
of splitting hairs because, yeah, this
is a fre hazard, but a lot of the prop-
erty here has the same problems.
According to Te Center for
Campus Fire Safety, other col-
lege towns such as Colum-
bia, Mo., and Boulder, Colo.,
have similar bans in place.
A penalty for those who keep
upholstered furniture on their
porches or patios could come in
the form of a fne, but city of-
cials say they would frst request
the residents to remove it. If a fne
is necessary, it will be imposed
on the landlords, not the tenants.
Trisha Brock, ofce manager
at Meadowlark Property Man-
agement, said her company was
already aware of the risk that
comes with upholstered furniture.
Weve actually already seen it as
a safety issue, and it was already in
our lease that our tenants could not
have furniture on their porches,
Brock said. But now well have
to be more diligent and do more
drive-bys and just stay on top
of it so no legal action is taken.
Te Lawrence City Commis-
sion has not set a date for when
the ordinance could go into ef-
fect, and they plan on educating
those in student neighborhoods
about the specifcs of the law.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2013 PAGE 4A
I
always wanted to die, but that
wouldnt do.
How could I simply do that
to everyone that might care about
me? I secretly fear that Im too
much of a coward to do anything
myself. No. What I wanted was
to go out in a blaze of glory. I
wanted to die saving a kitten from
a gorilla in hand-to-hand combat,
or rescuing a child from a burning
building. I would stumble out of
the inferno with the unharmed
kid in my arms. I would pass him
back to his parents, who would be
crying tears of joy. Tat would be
all the thanks I needed. Without
another word I would drop to the
ground and that would be it.
I wouldnt be remembered as
being selfsh. All my faults would
be forgotten and all that would
remain in memory of me would
be the last heroic deed. I would
die leaving behind an echo of the
good that Id lef in the world and
all the bad would disappear as
suddenly and completely as I had.
But until that happens, here I sit,
writing about it instead of doing
anything remarkable. Instead of
being heroic Im being whiny.
My only hope is that in explicitly
talking about my depression, it
will make it easier for others. I
dont know if I should be sharing
so much with complete strangers,
but depression has a taboo on it
that needs to end.
For those who have dealt with
it, you will appreciate how hard it
is to feel strongly about anything,
good or bad. Tose who havent
ever dealt with it have certainly
gone through a difcult day. A
dog died, failed a test, got cheated
on. Depression is feeling all of
those feelings at the same time,
but the feelings dont go away.
Time doesnt heal. It becomes
frustrating, because everyone
quietly believes that you should
be better by now. You believe it
yourself, but you just cant. What
would it be like to feel that way
all the time? Could you fght it?
Or would it do to you what it did
to me?
See, to me, it started by slowly
weighing on my shoulders. Con-
trary to popular belief, depression
attacks physically as well as emo-
tionally. Te weight presses you
down into the ground. It becomes
harder to breathe, more difcult
to think. It takes a herculean efort
just to walk, talk, smile, drink,
kiss, even to just get out of bed.
Nothing is physically as easy or
enjoyable to do. It doesnt stop
there though.
It might be a slow process. De-
pression is a sneaky bitch. It slow-
ly nibbles on your consciousness.
Its hardly even noticeable at frst,
but it doesnt stop there. It gnaws
on your mind and forces you low-
er. Depression is a parasite. A tick.
Te larger it grows the tighter the
hold becomes. You dont even no-
tice that the heat is being turned
up until its too late. It gnaws on
your mind till it begins to devour
and consume all of that which is
your humanity. It rips you apart
and it leaves you as nothing more
than a husk of a person.
For so long I tried to fght it. I
grew up in a family setting where
showing emotion or asking for
help made you a faggot. Im not
sure if thats an ideal situation. Te
stretches of abuse have me won-
dering, even today, what and who
exactly Im supposed to be. Each
time I think Im going in the right
direction or come up with a plan,
a voice in my head tells me thats
gay, or You? Yeah right, ha.
Needless to say, what miniscule
amounts of self-esteem I have are
wrapped up in some remarkably
superfcial ideas that are as fragile
as a glass house. One tiny pebble
can bring it all tumbling down.
I want people to be able to dis-
cuss these things openly, because
it might actually help to talk about
your depression. It certainly cant
hurt. With the fu, or a plethora
of other illnesses, people cant rest
until theyve posted on Facebook
about how awful they feel, where-
as depression is kept relatively
silent. Im almost certain that Ive
only spoken with three people in
life about our shared illness. Te
one that really stuck out was the
most well-rounded, incredible and
brilliant girl Ive ever known. But
one day, she mentioned that for
all the work she put in to appear
like everything was perfect, when
she was alone, she was in agony.
Nobody is immune to feeling this
way. Nobody.
You dont have to struggle by
yourself. Tere are support groups
on campus that will be by your
side regardless of the complexity
of your needs. Whether its just
someone to lean on while you
pick yourself up by your boot-
straps, or a doctor to refer you
to a good shock therapist, no
problem is impossible. Check out
CAPS in Watkins (785) 864-2277,
or the Psychological Clinic (785)
864-4121, which is starting group
therapy sessions on Sept. 4 for
a fee even I can aford. Hell, get
ahold of me, but just dont shut
down. Te greatest power depres-
sion has is to make us not want to
fght back. Lets kick its ass.

MENTAL HEALTH
SOJOURN POLITICS
I
made a terrible mistake
recently. I attended the Aug.
16 Chief s preseason game
against the San Francisco 49ers.
Arrowhead was lively with old
fans, Alex Smith played for a
full half to help ease away the
memory of Matt Cassel and with
some alcohol running through
my blood, I was able to loosen up
a bit and ignore the potentially
ofensive references to Native
American culture attached to our
team. Ill admit, it was great. But
in the end, it was nothing more
than a small reminder of what I
will be missing; a single cracker
to excite my hunger further. Oh!
Te folly of showing the self what
it craves but cant have!
My pains are not limited to
the Chiefs friends and family,
Facebook and the Church of
Lazlo all will be gone from my
life. As of yesterday, I have begun
a year of study at Nanjing Uni-
versity in the Glorious Peoples
Republic of China.
Tis will not be my frst tour.
From July of 2012 to Decem-
ber of that same year, I studied
in Shanghai and Hong Kong,
respectively. It was a great time.
For three weeks in between
cities I lived in a state of limbo,
couch-surfng around that giant
cluster of skyscrapers and people
known as Shanghai. Now I
return: less nave, but more fully
appreciative of what I will be
missing out on.
Te last six months have
reminded me just how much I
love my home state. I surmise
that people here live a slower life
and are more sincere and polite
than anyone else in the coun-
try. When abroad, I absolutely
refuse to hear the name of my
home state spoken in vain, and
whenever any criticism of my
country is brought up, I simply
defect it to some other region
of the U.S. Upset about drones?
Well that was probably started by
those Washington D.C. folks
Kansas surely had nothing to do
with that!
But building up my hometown
and actually being there are two
diferent things. To be in China
for the football season will be
absolutely miserable. First, I
have to watch the games at some
ungodly hour in the morning.
Second, nobody has any idea
what is going on.
I still recall staying up for the
frst football game of the season
last year against the Atlanta
Falcons with a friend of my mine
from Turkey. Like almost every
other person residing in Hong
Kong, he had never seen a game
of football before. I quickly
explained the basics and then
eagerly proceeded to explain the
importance of a good running
game, the concept of the pocket
and eventually, my nostalgia
yearned for the traditions of
Arrowhead Stadium itself.
Halfway through my slightly
drunken explanation of the
Chief s Tomahawk Chop, my
friend interjected, doesnt this
seem a little ofensive to the
Indians?
Oh, certainly not! I said as I
leaned closer to him to explain
the simple misunderstanding.
My head remained glued to the
television screen. You see-s the
blame for that ought to lie on the
founders of the team, who were
certainly-s not Kansans. Tere
was a brief pause as he tried to
process this inebriated bit of
information before I turned to
face him with a look of pure
earnestness in my eyes.
Te team originally came from
a very backwards place south of
our little strip of Eden, a place
known as Texas.
Such are the ramblings of a
willingly displaced man.
Scott Rainen is a senior from Prairie
Village.
E
liminate summer break.
Fire bad teachers. Venerate
the teaching profession.
Increase parental involvement.
Trow money at the problem.
Tese are the sound bites of ed-
ucation reform debate. Reduced
to just a few words per blip,
politicians and pundits alike tout
panaceas for Americas education
crisis. Unfortunately, for these
sound bites, the bark is bigger
than the bite, as they are rooted
in several mischaracterizations
of American education and non
sequitur conclusions. For the
sake of brevity, I will be address-
ing the most prominent argument
mentioned above the issue with
American teachers, followed by
my own solution to the issue at
hand.
Many people believe that the
problem of American education
lies with its teachers. Our teachers
are underpaid, undertrained
and uninspiring. Te solution
is simple: fre bad teachers, and
increase the status of the teaching
profession. Scholars point to
South Korea and Finland, both of
which are at the top of the educa-
tion totem pole, as an example of
how teachers ought to be viewed.
Tese nations equate teachers to
doctors, lawyers and other highly
trained members of society. Tey
also pay their teachers far better
than we do. Tese countries,
however, are also quite a bit
smaller than the United States. It
would be impossible to mandate
all teachers have a Masters degree
(such as in Finland) and pay them
$80,000 a year. Public schools
are already terminally under-
stafed some teachers even get
hired without teaching degrees,
let alone a Masters. It is also
worth noting that much of South
Koreas success in education lies
in afer-school private tutoring.
Parents force their kids to enroll
in hours of afer school practice
that has become a multi-million
dollar industry in South Korea.
Tis just shows how dynamic
the issue is it cant be reduced to
one small problem. Te multi-
plicity of factors that play into a
childs educational success makes
simply fring teachers a well-in-
tentioned, but ultimately idealistic
solution. To drive one more nail
into the cofn for this argument, I
would like to point out that fring
teachers isnt nearly as easy as it
sounds. Teachers unions have
formed an impregnable colossus
making it very difcult to oust a
bad teacher. Instead, many just
get shufed around the district,
and the problem goes unsolved.
All of these supposed solutions
merely quibble over the external
factors the teachers, the parents,
the district, but what about the
students themselves? What I
believe is a bigger culprit for
failure in school is self-image. Te
reason many students just dont
want to learn is because weve
treated them like and labeled
them as permanent failures. Te
reason some students dont try is
because they dont believe they
can succeed. Tis conclusion was
verifed by Angela Lee Duck-
worth, who said that if we teach
our students that failure is not a
permanent condition, they will
improve in the classroom. Her
study showed that tenacity - not
IQ was the deciding factor in
whether or not kids were success-
ful in learning math. Students
are more likely to succeed when
they believe they can. Tis is
where it gets personal. I went to
a very, very underfunded high
school in Topeka, Kansas. I had
good teachers and bad teachers,
and neither were 100 percent
responsible for my success or
failure. What was responsible for
whether or not I succeeded was
indisputably, incontrovertibly
and irrefutably me. At times,
I felt like I couldnt succeed, but
what kept me going was being
reminded that any mistakes I had
made were not permanent, that
my condition was curable. If we
teach our students that mistakes
are not fatal, that failure is not a
permanent condition, I believe
we can reshape our education
system from the inside - where it
really counts.

@Kansan_Opinion Norfolk State is the best apart
from any of the ones we won.
Everyone can remember rock-
ing out to the newest song on
an air guitar at one point or an-
other, but only one Kansas City,
Kan., rocker can claim that he is
the Worlds Best Air Guitarist.
Eric Melin graduated from the
University in 2006 with a degree
in flm. He may
seem like an or-
dinary flm critic,
but many know
him as Mean
Melin, an air gui-
tar enthusiast.
We are all a
bunch of weirdos
bonded through
playing air gui-
tar, Melin said.
Its universally
laughed at but we do this for fun
because we have a sense of humor.
Air guitar competitions frst
caught Melins eye afer he watched
a documentary about the history
of air guitar called Air Guitar Na-
tion. As fate would have it, three
months later the U.S. Air Guitar
Championships came to Kansas
City, Mo., in hopes of fnding new
talent. With a sold-out competition
of more than 1,000 people, Melin
couldnt believe what he had found.
Melin advanced to the com-
petitions 2013 National Fi-
nals in Los Angeles on Aug. 17.
Unfortunately, there he lost frst
place by a tenth of a point. Melin
knew then he was good enough to
compete at the Air Guitar World
Cha mpi on-
ships and was
determined to
do just that.
In order to
pay for the
plane ticket to
Finland where
the competi-
tion was held,
Melin sold
Mean Melin
T - s h i r t s .
Tere are over 100 orders
so far, Melin said. It helped
me decide to go forward be-
cause so many people said they
would buy a shirt to support me.
Once in Finland, Melin had to
compete in the Dark Horse Com-
petition. Tis is a last-minute
competition for all air guitarists
to earn the last few spots in the
Air Guitar World Championship.
Sure enough, Melin advanced.
Afer playing Wankery, a song
Melin composed specifcally for
air guitar, in the frst round, and
Electric Butt by Wedding Crash-
ers in the second round, Melins
hard work paid of. He became the
2013 Air Guitar World Champion.
We do this because we
are serious about rock mu-
sic, Melin said. Some people
dance, I dont danceWe know
its silly and do it anyways. It
gives you a sense of freedom.
Melin said he originally
planned to retire, but decid-
ed to defend his title next year.
For everyone interested in play-
ing air guitar or those who are
curious about what an air guitar
competition is like, keep an eye on
usairguitar.com. Tey will be com-
ing back to Kansas City next year.

We ask, listen and solve.
Its never hard to spot a Jay-
hawk fan, especially on game
days. As a freshman, one of the
frst opportunities youll have
to show of your school spirit
is at football games. But being
decked out in crimson and blue
doesnt mean you cant let your
own personal style shine through.
Te newest fashion statement to
hit the collegiate scene is Gameday
Boots. Created by Nocona Boots,
a Texas-based company, these
cowboy boots are revamped with
school logos, letters and colors,
making them perfect for game
days. In addition to the Univer-
sity of Kansas, Nocona has cre-
ated boots for 47 other schools.
Because of their populari-
ty, variations of these boots can
be found throughout stores all
around the Lawrence and Kan-
sas City areas. Ranging anywhere
from $200 to $400, Gameday
Boots are a great addition to any
Jayhawk girls wardrobe. Because
the shoes are so versatile, they
can easily be dressed up or down.
Several variations of the boots
can be ordered online, but for
those who cannot wait for a pair,
Fortuity has you covered. Lo-
cated on 809 Massachusetts St.,
this boutique ofers its own af-
fordable and fashionable version.
Tey look super cute with a
high-low skirt, Laura Konecny,
a Fortuity employee, said.
Whats fun about them is that
you can pair the boots with ei-
ther red or blue, which makes
it perfect for a KU game day.
For a more casual look,
Konecny recommends wearing
a pair of red skinny jeans and
a Jayhawk tee with the boots.
Te boots are particular-
ly popular during the fall and
winter months, Konecny said,
as many girls receive them for
Christmas. But no matter what
the season or event, the Jay-
hawk will never go out of style.

boots.com or www.sheplers.com.

Stylish and spirited: game day boots take colleges by storm
FASHION
College is a time where stu-
dents ofen fnd themselves
having to be selfsh in order to
survive. Being in a relationship
can seem like a great idea, but
can it possibly afect personal
growth and academic success?
Tese four years are the only
time when random hookups,
walks of shame and one-night
stands are deemed acceptable.
Students are expected to go out,
have a few drinks and meet all
types of diferent people. Devin
Brown, a freshman from Dallas,
broke up with his high school
girlfriend in order to have more
time for himself in college.
I can do whatever I want
now and dont have to wor-
ry about being in a long-dis-
tance relationship, Brown said.
College students see this time as
the perfect opportunity to test the
waters and gain sexual experience
before settling down. Alexa Roy, a
junior from Shawnee, said spend-
ing time with her boyfriend is
not detrimental to her social life.
Being in a relationship gives
me another support system and
another person to go to when
Im feeling down
or just need some-
body, Roy said. I
know a lot of times
I may be missing
out on partying,
but thats not whats
important to me.
Lauren Proc-
tor, a junior from
Shawnee, said it
is important to
maintain a bal-
anced relationship.
I think as long as youre in an
adult relationship and have your
own separate lives, youre not re-
ally missing
out on any-
thing, Proc-
tor said. Its
just an added
bonus that I
get to share
my time with
s ome body.
But Brown
said think-
ing about
that person
during time
that could be spent studying
for a test or writing a paper
can be disruptive to academics.
If I was dating somebody through
the year I probably wouldnt do
as well in school, Brown said.
Besides developing a sense of
time management, being at such
a great university comes with
an abundance of academic op-
portunities. Students should be
taking this time to get involved
with clubs and organizations
while also maintaining a good
GPA. Tis may not be easy for
everyone, and may only become
more difcult when spending
time with a signifcant other.
Trust and jealousy are also fac-
tors when debating whether or
not to be in a committed relation-
ship. Attending a school with as
many students as the University
has can lead to drunken temp-
tations and remorseful regrets.
College students are expected
to grow independently and make
decisions for themselves. Being in
relationship could turn out to be
one of the greatest or worst choic-
es during the undergraduate years.

If you pour yourself more
than four cups of cofee a day,
you could be shortening your
life, according to a 2013 study
conducted by the Mayo Clinic.
Te study revealed that people
under the age of 55 who drink
more than 28 cups of cofee a week
have an increased
risk of death, es-
pecially when
paired with diabe-
tes, hypertension-
and heavy alcohol
c o n s u mp t i o n .
Jill Hamil-
ton-Reeves, an
assistant professor
at the University
of Kansas Medical
Center, said stu-
dents should be
more concerned
with the short-term efects of heavy
cafeine use, such as increased anx-
iety, insomnia and problems con-
trolling blood pressure or blood
sugar. Unfltered cofee, like espres-
so drinks, is also associated with
moderately elevated cholesterol.
Te studys fndings could be af-
fected by how the cofee was pre-
pared and diferences in the sub-
jects diets, Hamilton-Reeves said.
Allie Varas, a senior from Sandy,
Utah, uses cofee drinks such as iced
Americanos to help her stay awake.
Varas drinks up to three cups of cof-
fee a day when she is under stress
from classes, but she says the Mayo
study makes her worry about her
excessive cofee-drinking friends.
It kind of freaks me out and
makes me want to knock cups out
of the hands of some of my friends
who drink a
lot more than I
do, Varas said.
Cody Ja-
nousek, a se-
nior from Law-
rence, drank
cofee every
day this sum-
mer to propel
him through
a 40-hour
w o r k w e e k .
Te poor
college stu-
dent in me likes to brew a pot of
cofee and then throw it in the re-
frigerator and then drink it cold
the next morning, Janousek said.
He believes moderation is key,
as long as you do not add extreme
amounts of creamer and sugar.
Te moderate amount is about
300mg, whether it is from cofee,
energy drinks, tea or soda, Ham-
ilton-Reeves said. Tats about
two or three cups of cofee, de-
pending how strongly it is brewed.
Moderate cofee consumption
also provides protection against
type 2 diabetes, Parkinsons disease,
prostate and liver cancer and liver
cirrhosis, Hamilton-Reeves said.
But be wary of how
that cofee is consumed.
Avoid excessive consumption
of fancy cofee drinks, which not
only add unnecessary calories,
but also strain a college-student
budget, Hamilton-Reeves said.

TOPEKA Te Kansas Senate
sent Gov. Sam Brownback a bill
Wednesday revising a state law
that allows 50-year prison terms
in certain murder cases, in a move
that fxes a constitutional faw and
gives families of the victims more
certainty that defendants will re-
ceive the proper punishment.
Te legislation, prompted by a
June U.S. Supreme Court ruling,
requires juries rather than judg-
es to decide if the facts of a case
warrant a sentence of
50 years without parole.
Legislators considered
the measure during a
two-day special session
rather than waiting until
their next annual session
convenes in January.
Senators voted 40-0
to approve the bill, one
day afer the House ap-
proved the measure 122-
0. It revises the states
so-called Hard 50 law in reaction
to the Supreme Courts opinion
in a Virginia case. Te high court
ruled that giving judges the sole
authority to determine whether
to impose a mandatory minimum
sentence was unconstitutional.
It is a crisis, said Sen. Greg
Smith, whose 18-year-old daugh-
ter, Kelsey, was raped and killed
in 2007 afer being kidnapped
outside a Target store in Over-
land Park. Tere are people
who create heinous acts of mur-
der who could get out of prison.
Brownback, who called legisla-
tors back to Topeka for the two-
day session, praised lawmakers for
taking action quickly. Te Repub-
lican governor is expected to sign
the bill within the coming weeks.
Te broad bipartisan support for
the Hard 50 sentencing guidelines
can be seen in the unanimous votes
in both the House and Senate,
Brownback said in a statement.
Kansas adopted the Hard 50 in
1999, replacing a mandatory 40-
year sen-
tence that
had been
in place
s i n c e
1990. Te
e a r l i e r
sentence
was a
l e g i s l a -
tive com-
pr omi s e
during a
growing debate over capital pun-
ishment at the time. Kansas rein-
stated the death penalty in 1994.
Te new law would apply to about
45 cases that are being tried or are
on appeal. It would require jurors
to weigh a limited list of aggravat-
ing circumstances during their de-
liberations to determine whether to
recommend the 50-year sentence.
Te aggravating circumstances in-
clude: murder for hire; murder to
avoid arrest or prosecution; a clear
intention by the defendant for the
murder to be heinous, atrocious or
cruel; or a prior felony conviction
in which the defendant infict-
ed great bodily harm on another
person or caused his or her death.
Tere would be no restrictive
list of mitigating factors for ju-
rors to consider or for defense
attorneys to ofer during trial.
Attorney General Derek Schmidt
said the legislation closed the
wound to keep the number of cas-
es that could be exempt from the
50-year sentence from growing.
In a historically short session,
they remained focused, fxed the
problem and have given us the tools
we need to maximize the likeli-
hood that we can preserve existing
Hard 50 sentences, Schmidt said
afer the Senate vote, and perhaps
more importantly, to ensure afer
this bill is published that the killers
who commit particularly heinous
homicides will know again that
Kansas intends for them to remain
behind bars for at least 50 years.
Schmidt, who asked Brownback
to call the special session to fx the
law, said the changes would not
apply to the 106 defendants who
have been sentenced to a Hard
40 or 50 since 1990. Te former
Senate majority leader said de-
fendants in those cases already
exhausted their appeals and could
only be considered for a proposed
new sentence if a court vacated their
prison sentences on other grounds.
However, defense attorney Ran-
dall Hodgkinson raised questions
about the proposed legislation as it
pertained to evidence of prior con-
victions of a defendant that could
infuence a jurys decision to impose
the mandatory 50-year sentence.
In the case of Sen. Smiths daugh-
ter, the new law would not apply.
Edwin Hall was convicted in the
slaying and sentenced to life in pris-
on without parole afer he pleaded
guilty to avoid the death penalty.
But Smith said legislators had
the back of those families in the
45 cases in which the law will ap-
ply. He said the longer prison sen-
tences were important to keep fam-
ilies from facing parole hearings
repeatedly with 25-year sentences.
Te families of the vic-
tims relive the event every time
its brought up, Smith said.

Te Lawrence City Commis-
sion unanimously approved
an ordinance to increase the
cost of speeding in Lawrence
at a meeting Tuesday night.
Te new law raises the baseline
speeding fee to $80, which applies
to violators going 10 mph over the
posted speed. Tis is a 60 percent
increase from the previous fee.
Assistant City Attorney Maria
Kaminska presented the ordinance
to the commission and said that the
reason for the increase was to keep
in line with surrounding cities.
According to a May sur-
vey conducted by the Munici-
pal Court Manager, a ticket for
the same violations in Olathe,
Baldwin City and Overland
Park cost an average of $83.83.
Students on a budget may want
to considering slowing down to
avoid the added costs of a ticket.
Michael Portman, a ju-
nior from Garland, Texas, re-
ceived his frst speeding tick-
et in Lawrence last April.
I hate the idea of it cost-
ing more, Portman said. I
am a poor college student.
Jessa Bernstein, a senior from
San Francisco, said she doesnt
have a problem with increasing
the price of speeding tickets as
long as it benefts city programs.
But she said that she is skeptical of
its efectiveness if it is only being
raised to crack down on speeders.
Te cops here seem pretty
laid back, Bernstein said. But
since the town's biggest issues in-
volve crowd control afer games
and dealing with drunk people,
cops have plenty of time to bust
people for driving infractions.
Te ordinance will take efect
Oct. 1. To read the ordinance,

Graduate student awarded fellowship with NASA
JOSE MEDRANO
jmedrano@kansan.com
Teresa Stumpf, an electrical en-
gineering and computer science
graduate student at the Universi-
tys Center for Remote Sensing of
Ice Sheets, was recently awarded a
$90,000 NASA Fellowship. Stumpf
is researching and developing a
new type of radar that will accu-
rately map ice sheets by penetrat-
ing the ice until it meets bedrock.
What I proposed were tech-
niques to image the bed over a
wide swath on that system, the
Ultra Wideband System, Stumpf
said. It requires some fnesse, be-
cause its such broad range of fre-
quencies that conventional models
for mapping the bed are poorly
constrained so it requires some
modifcation to properly use.
Stumpf s radar imaging will al-
low ice sheets to be accurately
mapped and collect a fner res-
olution by penetrating the ice.
CReSIS develops new technology
and gathers data from ice sheets in
Greenland and Antarctica in or-
der to develop computer models
and accurate predictions. Stumpf s
work will focus on designing sig-
nal beams and a signal processing
system that will efectively map
ice sheets in a wide swath fy over.
Its a very pressing scientif-
ic question, Stumpf said con-
cerning the proper imaging and
computer models of ice sheets.
Te biggest uncertainty is what
role Earths ice sheets are go-
ing to play in rising sea levels.
Stumpf s three year fellow-
ship will allow her to build the
radar beams and technology to
accurately measure ice sheets,
thus allowing researchers to pre-
dict sea levels more accurately.
Since scientists cant estimate
an accurate upper bound with
the data that is currently avail-
able, it is important that the ice
sheets are properly mapped in or-
der to predict sea level rise by the
end of the century, Stumpf said.
Stumpf is one of a few female
graduate students conduct-
ing research within CReSIS.
CReSIS will be conduct-
ing more feld research on
the ice sheets in November.
Currently Stumpf s work is in
the frst stages of development
and will start felding the equip-
ment once it is ready for testing.

HAGERSTOWN, Md. Army
Pvt. Chelsea Manning is seeking
a presidential pardon for sending
reams of classifed information to
WikiLeaks, a leak she says was done
out of a love for my country and
sense of duty to others, according
to documents released Wednesday.
Mannings lawyer, David Coombs,
sent the Petition for Pardon/Com-
mutation of Sentence on Tuesday to
President Barack Obama through
the U.S. Justice Department, and to
Army Secretary John M. McHugh.
Te White House said last
month that a Manning request
for a presidential pardon would
be considered like any other.
Manning, formerly Bradley Man-
ning, is serving a 35-year sentence
at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., for her
conviction July 30 on 20 counts for
disclosing the information while
working as an intelligence analyst in
Iraq in 2010. Manning has said
she wants to live as a woman and
receive hormone therapy for gen-
der dysphoria the sense that
she is physically the wrong gender.
Te leak of hundreds of thou-
sands of battlefeld reports, dip-
lomatic cables and a video of a
U.S.helicopter attack that killed ci-
vilians was the largest-volume leak
of classifed material in U.S. history.
Manning got the longest sentence
ever for disclosing U.S. government
secrets to others for publication.
Te Obama administration has
cracked down on security breach-
es, charging seven people with
leaking to the media. Only three
were prosecuted un-
der all previous pres-
idents combined.
Mark Osler, a
law professor and
founder of a com-
mutation clinic at
St. Tomas Univer-
sity in Minneapo-
lis, gave Mannings
petition a zero
percent chance of
success, given the
relatively low num-
ber of pardonsgranted by Obama.
Te president has granted 39 par-
dons and one commutation since
taking ofce, and denied 1,333.
Tats a lower rate than any re-
cent predecessors, Osler said.
Its also very early in Mannings
confnement for the White House
to seriously consider such a request,
Osler said. Pardon applicants or-
dinarily must wait fve years afer
their release to be eligible for con-
sideration. Tose seeking to have
their prison sentence commuted
to time served generally must show
they were over-sentenced or that
they underwent extraordinary re-
habilitation in prison, Osler said.
Pardon applicants can request a
waiver of the fve-year waiting pe-
riod, according to the federal Of-
fce of the Pardon Attorney at the
Justice Department. Mannings ap-
plication doesnt mention a waiver.
Coombs said
in an emailed
response to
Te Asso-
ciated Press
that a waiv-
er request is
implicit in
the fling.
Ma n n i n g
signed the
p e t i t i o n
with her le-
gal name,
Bradley Manning, not Chel-
sea. Coombs has said anything
having to do with the pardon or
court-martial would have to be
in Bradleys name. Ofcials at
Fort Leavenworth say Manning
would have to get a legal name
change to be known as Chelsea.
Manning wrote in the petition
that she started questioning the
morality of U.S. actions in Iraq and
Afghanistan while read-
ing secret military reports
on a daily basis in Iraq.
When I chose to disclose
classifed information, I did
so out of a love for my coun-
try and sense of duty to others.
Manning acknowledged she
broke the law, adding, I regret if my
actions hurt anyone or harmed the
United States. Tats diferent
from her unsworn courtroom
statement Aug. 14, when Man-
ning told a military judge: I am
sorry that my actions hurt peo-
ple. Im sorry that they hurt the
United States. Coombs said in an
email that Mannings statements
about harm are not contradictory.
Te harm ofered by the Gov-
ernment during the trial was
speculative at best. Te majority
of the instances provided by the
Government for potential harm ei-
ther were unrealized or had other
more plausible causes, rather than
Private Mannings conduct, for the
potential harm, Coombs wrote.
At Mannings trial, government
witnesses testifed that some of the
leaked information endangered in-
formation sources, forced ambassa-
dors to be reassigned, were used as
al-Qaida propaganda and even ob-
tained directly by Osama bin Laden.
However, Coombs wrote in a
cover letter to Mannings petition
that none of Mannings disclo-
sures caused any real damage
to the United States and that the
documents were not sensitive in-
formation meriting protection.
Coombs submitted 11 documents
in support of Mannings petition.
Te submissions include fve doc-
uments pertaining to Sgt. 1st Class
Paul Adkins, one of Mannings
former supervisors. Te sergeant
testifed that he was reprimanded
and demoted, apparently for fail-
ing to report Mannings troubling
behavior including a photo of
the soldier in a blond wig and lip-
stick partly because he couldnt
risk losing an intelligence analyst.
Also among the documents was a
letter from Amnesty International,
which said Mannings leaks exposed
potential human rights violations.

T
urner Gill decimated
Kansas football. He
took a small founda-
tion that Mark Mangino built
over eight seasons and took a
wrecking ball to it, erasing any
positive connotations with the
words Jayhawk football fans
may have had afer tasting
success not too long ago. And
afer he was fred following his
second season, some people
might look at his replacement,
Charlie Weis, entering his
second year and expect much
better results this fall.
Tat probably wont happen
and it likely wont have any-
thing to do with Charlie Weis,
who signed up for two dif-
cult tasks: Make Kansas foot-
ball competitive and clean up
the mess that Turner Gill lef
behind. We saw glimpses of
competitiveness last season in
close losses to Rice, Northern
Illinois, Texas and Texas Tech.
But cleaning up the mess
wasnt going to be a one year
fx. Football rosters are too
big for one ofseason overhaul
to cure all ills, especially in a
league like the Big 12. You not
only need talented players, but
you also need talented players
with experience at this level.
And you need a lot of them.
We ran out of gas in the
fourth quarter a number of
times last year on defense in
my opinion, said defensive
coordinator and former Dal-
las Cowboys head coach Dave
Campo on Tuesday. And part
of that was I was reluctant to
play backup guys.
Tat explains the number
of junior college transfers the
coaching staf picked up in the
ofseason; 17 to be exact. Even
afer a few expected hiccups
with junior college players,
Weis still had seven junior
college transfers listed in the
starting lineup he released at
Tuesdays press conference,
with another fve transfers
listed as backups.
Tat is no way to build a
traditional program, but Weis
was desperate. He saw what
fans had witnessed in 2010
and 2011. He needed players,
fast, and he is slowly stockpil-
ing talent for the future.
We fnally got to the point
where you can put out the
2s (backups) and youre not
holding your breath that the
2s are out there, Weis said.
Tere is a diference between
not being scared of playing
backups and being confdent
with the depth you have, but
its a good start. And with the
pile of crap Weis inherited,
a good start is all you can ask
for.

I
guess its true: LeBron James really does
do everything.
Tink about it. Te man is a four-time
MVP, a two-time NBA Finals champion
and a producer. Yes, you did read that
correctly. On Tuesday, ESPN.com reported
that James, along with some friends, will
be developing a new show on the Starz
network called Survivors Remorse.
Te show is about two men who grow up
in an inner city and aspire to be famous,
just like James did. Te show will concen-
trate on the struggles and adversities these
men overcome to obtain the success they
dream of.
Whether you love him or hate him, every-
one should respect what James is trying to
do by creating this show.
In the ESPN.com report, James, who is
from Akron, Ohio, discusses how he was
supposed to be a statistic, but because of
his hard work and dedication, he is now
looked upon as the inspiration for others to
get out of inner-city streets.
Tis was what James wants to illustrate
with his show, and even the citizens of
Cleveland have to appreciate this. Wheth-
er they admit it or not, James still has a
signifcant purpose in those
peoples lives.
Superstar athletes of James
stature ofen forget their roots
and look solely at their accom-
plishments, rather than how
they achieved their prosperity.
Many despise James and his deci-
sion to leave Cleveland, but can
you blame him for trying to chase
his dreams?
How can people still not respect someone
who started with so little, when he now has
so much? If he never cheated to obtain his
success, like many athletes do nowadays,
and never lied about what his aspirations
were, then why do people still want him
to fail?
Something that is ofen forgotten is that,
as an 18-year-old, James had the pressure
and respon-
sibility of an
entire city on his
shoulders. Some of
us have trouble managing
the pressure and responsibility of being a
college student. Try being responsible for
a whole city.

Crowes RBI single in 9th lifts Astros over Twins
MLB SOCCER
HOUSTON Trevor Crowe
hit an RBI single in the bottom
of the ninth inning that lifed the
Houston Astros over the Minne-
sota Twins 6-5 on Wednesday.
Jonathan Villar singled to start
the ninth and advanced to sec-
ond on a sacrifce bunt by Jose
Altuve. Crowes line drive to lef
feld of Brian Duensing (6-2) al-
lowed the speedy Villar to score
easily, giving Houston its frst win
in six tries against Minnesota.
Ryan Doumits leadof home run
in the ninth against Astros reliev-
er Erik Bedard (4-10) tied it at 5.
Minnesota was down 3-0 afer a
three-run frst inning by the As-
tros before tying it on a three-run
shot by Alex Presley in the third.
It was Presleys frst homer since
being acquired from Pittsburgh
in the trade for Justin Morneau.
Pedro Florimon doubled to
open the eighth and scored on
a groundout by Darin Mastroi-
anni as the Twins closed to 5-4.
Before tying it, Minnesota squan-
dered a chance in the seventh
when Chris Herrmann ground-
ed into an inning-ending dou-
ble play with the bases loaded.
Brandon Barnes had two RBIs
and Chris Carter and Brett Wallace
added two hits apiece for Houston.
Minnesota starter Liam Hendriks
yielded eight hits and fve runs in 4
1-3 innings, leaving him with just
one win in six starts this season.
Houston starter Jordan
Lyles allowed four hits and
three runs in 6 1-3 innings.
An RBI double by Wallace put
Houston up 1-0 in the frst in-
ning. Carter walked before Wal-
lace barely scored on a single by
Marc Krauss and make it 2-0,
and Barnes added a sacrifce fy.
Presly came out on top of a
13-pitch at-bat in the third, coming
back from an 0-2 count before hit-
ting a tying home run to right feld.
Jose Altuve doubled with two
outs in the fourth and scored
on Crowes single for a 4-3 lead.
Carter led of the ffh with a sin-
gle, then the 6-foot-4, 245-pound
slugger took second on his sec-
ond steal this season. Barnes
single of reliever Ryan Pressly
pushed Houstons lead to 5-3.
Krauss was recalled from Triple-A
Oklahoma City on Wednesday and
was Houstons designated hitter.
Te Twins are of on Turs-
day before opening a 10-game
homestand with a three-
game series against Toronto.
Te Astros open a four-game
series with Oakland on Turs-
day when Houstons Brad Pea-
cock opposes Sonny Gray.
Minnesota All-Star C Joe Mau-
er, who has missed 16 games af-
ter sustaining a concussion, is
scheduled to take batting practice
at Target Field on Wednesday.
Astros All-Star C Jason Castro
was out of the lineup for the sec-
ond straight game afer spraining

When many students are wak-
ing up on Saturday and scram-
bling to fnalize tailgate plans
with their posse, Kansas quarter-
back Jake Heaps will be making
sure hes putting on his clothes in
the right order. Hes been waiting
for Saturday to come for a while.
Gamedays are really stressful
for me because Im really super-
stitious, Heaps said. Every-
thing has to be done a certain
way: from the way I put on my
pants, to the songs I listen to.
For Heaps, its time to get seri-
ous. He has had quite the experi-
ence leading up to this Saturdays
season opener against South Da-
kota, but the highly touted high
school recruit, former BYU quar-
terback and Kansas scout team
phenom is ready to suit up in and
reverse the culture of a uniform
currently associated with losing.
Tis is going to be a diferent
football team, Heaps said. Were
going to have a
lot of energy and
a lot of excite-
ment. Were the
type of team that,
when adversity
hits, will be able
to battle through
that, unlike in the
past when some-
thing bad hap-
pened and they
just threw in the towel.
Facing adversity against an FCS
opponent Saturday wouldnt be
a great sign of things to come
for Heaps or Kansas football. By
the games end, Heaps wants the
fans making excuses for the win.
I want people to think Well it
was only South Dakota, Heaps
said. I want them to question
the fact that they shouldnt wor-
ry how big of a win we had just
because it was South Dakota.
But the South Dakota Coyotes
are currently ranked No. 6 in FCS
standings, and they shouldnt be
underestimated. Te team was in
no way dominated when it lost
31-17 to the Jayhawks at Memorial
Stadium last year, and they plan to
build on last weeks FCS vs. Big 12
successes in Northern Iowas victo-
ry over Iowa State and North Da-
kota States win over Kansas State.
Tey like to play 3-4 and bring
pressure, its kind of a gamble,
Heaps said. Sometimes it pays
of, but sometimes it leaves big
holes, so if we can protect that will
be the key to our football game.
South Dakotas pressure may
be the fastest way for Kansas
fans to get the best feel for its
new quarterback afer one game.
Its a big question: is he worth
the hype? Heaps had two years at
BYU in which he attempted more
than 250 passes. Dayne Crist had
one year with over 250 attempts at
Notre Dame. In Heaps two years
compared to Crists one, Crist had
numbers better than Heaps all
across the board. Crist had more
yards per attempt, a better com-
pletion percentage, more touch-
downs (they
tied for 15
touchdowns
in 2010 when
Heaps had
89 more at-
tempts), less
interceptions
and a better
quarterback
rating. But
despite those
numbers at Notre Dame, Crists
numbers at Kansas tanked, and the
Jayhawks 1-11 record showed it.
So when Kansas head coach Char-
lie Weis was talking about Heaps
success on the practice squad last
year and said [Jake] would go out
there and tear [the defense] up on a
daily basis, would it be that shock-
ing if Dayne Crist did the same
and we just didnt hear about it?
Kansas wide receiver Chris-
tian Matthews may have ac-
cidentally waved the biggest
warning fag when he said what
separated Crist and Heaps.
Te only thing I could real-
ly think of is height, Matthews
said. Tey were both really good
quarterbacks, but I guess height is
the biggest thing. Both had good
arms and were good leaders.
Polite, but scary. If Dayne Crist
was a really good quarterback,
it certainly wasnt evident in his
four touchdown season. Kan-
sas fans are hoping that a difer-
ence between the two couldnt
be clearer by the end of this year.
But, overall, players and coach-
es have raved about what theyve
seen from Heaps, and he appears
ready for the pressure. Hes ready
for the spotlight. Hes ready to
put a 180 degree turn on Kansas
football. On Wednesday, Heaps
was asked to fnish a sentence.:
If Jake Heaps plays well this
year and with an unwavering
confdence, Heaps responded:
Kansas football will
be a defnite bowl team.

Riding a three-game winning
streak, Kansas, 3-1, will take on
the Arkansas Razorbacks tonight
at 7 p.m. in Fayetteville, Ark.
Tis will be the frst of two
matchups with Arkansas this
week. Te second meeting will
take place on Saturday at 1 p.m. at
Horejsi Family Athletics Center.
Kansas played Arkansas in the
2012 championship match of the
Arkansas Invitational and fell in
four sets with scores of 25-18,
25-27, 24-26 and 21-25. Junior
outside hitter Sara McClinton
led the Jayhawks with 16 kills in
the match. Te Jayhawks had set
points in the second and third
sets and will look to convert on
those opportunities this year.
We have a
bad taste in our
mouths from last
year, coach Ray
Bechard said.
Te Jayhawks
are coming of a
four-set win over
the University of
Missouri-Kansas
City on Sept. 3.
Senior middle
blocker Caroline Jarmoc led the
team with 19 kills and 10 blocks
and senior setter Erin McNor-
ton contributed with 50 assists.
Also 3-1 for the season, Arkan-
sas earned frst place at the Ar-
kansas Invitational with wins over
Northwestern State, New Mexico
and UMKC. Its
lone loss came
on Sept. 3 to
Oklahoma in
three tight sets.
Te Razor-
backs lost two of
their best players
from last sea-
son. Opposite
hitter Roslan-
dy Acostawas
named to the 2012 All-SEC frst
team and outside hitter Jasmine
Norton was named to the 2012
All-SEC second team. Four other
players were lost due to graduation.
However, they return sophomore
opposite hitter Liz Fortado, who
was named to the All-SEC fresh-
man team as well as senior setter
Raymariely Santos, who became
the third player in Arkansas history
to pass 3,000 assists for her career.
SEC coaches projected the Ra-
zorbacks to fnish third in the
SEC western division and sev-
enth overall out of 14 teams.
Tis will be the Jayhawks
frst match-up with a team
from the SEC this year.

Junior outside hitter Sara McClinton spikes the ball during the second set against

Team chemistry is a concept that
has been an obstacle to the success
of many talented teams, and one
that successful coaches such as Bill
Self, John Wooden and Vince Lom-
bardi have preached. It is also a con-
cept that senior Claire Dreyer and
sophomore Maria Jose Cardona
agree will be the foundation to the
womens tennis teams success this
season. When asked for one word
to describe your team, and why?
Dryer and Cardona both respond-
ed emphatically with those two
simple words: Team chemistry.
Te womens team is coming
into the 2013-14 season with a
new head coach, Todd Chapman.
Having spent the last four years
as an assistant coach for Big 12 ri-
val Texas Tech, Chapman helped
coach a team that won two straight
Big 12 regular season titles in 2012
and 2013. Tech also climbed from
the depths of the Big 12 confer-
ence all the way to an 8-1 record
in only a year. Te University is
hoping Chapman will bring simi-
lar on-court success to Lawrence.
Dreyer said the Jay-
hawks are looking forward
to working with Chapman.
Its been diferent transitioning
with a new coach, but everyone
is really willing to work hard-
er, Dreyer said. Were just ex-
cited to get the season started.
Te team is preparing to open
its fall schedule in Midland, Tex-
as, at the Midland Invitational on
Sept. 13. Te fall season will be-
gin with fve tournaments in which
the Jayhawks plan to compete in
both singles and doubles play. Car-
dona said improvement over the
course of the season will be key.
Were going to work hard this
fall, and Im sure that we can
do really well this season and
keep improving, Cardona said.
Te team does not know yet
which players are going to compete
in the Midland Invitational, or if
they will be in doubles or singles,
as many are still fghting for a spot.
In recent times, the Big 12 has been
dominated by a small handful of
schools on the womens tennis side.
Tere have been consistent titles
from the Texas Longhorns, the Bay-
lor Lady Bears, and the Texas Tech
Lady Raiders. But this year team
chemistry, a highly experienced
and successful coach, hard work
and a rigorous fall schedule make
a run at the Big 12 title not as far
out of range as previously thought.
Claire Dreyer said she and her
three senior teammates, Amy
Barnthouse, Paulina Los and Dylan
Windom are ready and hungry
for a chance at the Big 12 title.
[Winning] would mean every-
thing to me, and to us, Dreyer
said. I mean, weve worked so
hard that we believe we can do
anything. Coach has really got-
ten us excited for the season.

With Jake Heaps under center for his frst game in about two years a lot of
uncertainty has surfaced. Heaps, who transferred from BYU, undertook a
year as the scout team QB along with wideout Justin McCay and now looks
to come out fring. Heaps and his receivers have come a long way, but
nothing is certain especially with so many unfamiliar faces. They can only
learn from playing the games.

While the defense is flled with new players, its also flled with potential.
Ben Heeney and Keon Stowers, two of the team captains, look to anchor the
team against the South Dakota offense, which features a sizable offensive
line. This is the frst year of the nickel-based package that has been im-
plemented, which features two more than capable nickelbacks in Courtney
Arnick and Victor Simmons who have impressed in camp.
Matt Wyman, a former walk-on kicker, came into camp competing with
junior college transfer Michael Mesh and beat out the presumed favorite.
The kickoff returning will be handled by two backup running backs, Taylor
Cox and Brandon Bourbon, while junior Connor Embree will manage the
punt returns.
All eyes are going to be on Jake Heaps. Each play, each snap will be mag-
nifed. How he controls the pace of the game is going to be crucial and how
he is protected will be even more imperative. The season rides on him and
how he performs on Saturday will spell out, in some sense, where the path
for the rest of the season will lead.
With the FCS mania that happened last weekend, Kansas will be on their
heels. However, the underdog monster is still lurking. Charlie Weis looks
to start out the season undefeated, while South Dakota, who is playing
Kansas for the frst time since 1900, is looking to surpass their single win
total from last year.
Charlie Weis has had a chance to open up the playbook more this year with
a seemingly more competent quarterback and has been joyous over the fact
that he gets to throw the ball more.
Look for Weis to maybe take some
chances downfeld to see how this
offense can be spread out.
Theres a victory, but also little things that are in between the cracks of all the winning solves everything speak. Like
Heaps performance, how the pass defense holds up and the ability to keep Heaps upright. A win is nice, but improve-
ment in different facets of the game would even be more comforting to Kansas fans.
Can Heaps maybe muster some hope for Jayhawks fans? This Kansas team is more talented on paper, but can they
put out a decent product on the feld? Theres an argument that this Kansas team is more uncertain than last year, but
is certainly more talented.

The South Dakota Coyotes scored just 10 points in a win over UC-Davis
last week. Second year quarterback Josh Vander Maten threw for just 91
passing yards, going 9-for-17. The Coyotes have two redshirt freshmen at
halfback that are nearly identical in size, and combined for 171 yards in
the teams frst game. The biggest strength of the offense is the size on the
offensive line.

Defense: South Dakota starts an experienced secondary, with three seniors
and a junior. The Coyote defense kept UC-Davis scoreless for 56 minutes
before letting up a one-yard touchdown. Weis said that linebacker Tyler
Starr is the best player on this side of the ball for South Dakota
Freshman kicker Miles Bergner was named the Missouri Valley Conference
special teams player of the week after he made a 39 yard feld goal in the
fourth quarter of the Coyotes frst game. Starting cornerback Dyllon Knox
will return punts while running backs Trevor Bouma and Jordan Roberts
return the kick offs.
Senior linebacker Tyler Starr was singled out by Charlie Weis as the player
that he views as the key for the South Dakota defense. Starr plays the
buck position, as it is known in the Kansas defense, which is a hybrid of
linebacker and defensive lineman.
South Dakota entered the 2013 season in a situation very similar to
Kansas. Last season, the Coyotes won just one game in Joe Glenns
frst season as head coach. Glenns team has already equaled that
win total by beating UC-Davis 10-7 in the season opener.
Joe Glenn had an incredibly successful career as a head coach
before returning to his alma mater, South Dakota, in 2011. Between
his 11 years at Northern Colorado and three years at Montana, Glenn
has three national championships under his belt. His frst season
at South Dakota was a rocky one, as the team fnished at 1-10 and
went 0-8 against Missouri Valley teams.
The Coyotes come into Saturdays game with one win already and a
chance to make adjustments in their second game of the season.

Jayhawks look to continue winning streak in Arizona
Hoping to continue its winning
streak, the Kansas soccer team
travels to Tempe, Ariz., this week-
end to compete in the Sun Dev-
il Desert Classic, an early season
tournament. Te Jayhawks will
compete against Arizona Friday
evening and host-team Arizo-
na State on Sunday afernoon.
Arizona enters the tournament
with a 3-0-1 record. Te team earned
victories in its frst three matches of
the season. Last Sunday, Arizona
played to a 0-0 draw against Ohio
State in double overtime. Senior
forward Jazmin Ponce led Arizona
with seven shot attempts. Junior
goalkeeper Gabby Kaufman is the
Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week
afer the game against Ohio State
and a 6-0 shutout against Riverside.
Kansas second opponent of the
weekend, Arizona State, comes in
with a 2-1 record. Te team defeat-
ed Stephen F. Austin in its latest
match. Sophomore forward Cali
Farquharson led the Sun Devils
to victory with two of their goals.
Farquharson is an impact player
for the squad, having scored four of
the teams six goals on the season.
Arizona State is not an unfamiliar
foe. Last year the Sun Devils made
a trip to Lawrence on Sept. 2, 2012,
for a game against the Jayhawks.
Afer 110 minutes of play, includ-
ing two overtime periods, the teams
played to a 2-2 draw. Current soph-
omore forward Ashley Williams
scored one of two Jayhawk goals.
She was assisted by fellow sopho-
more forward Courtney Dickerson.
Te Jayhawks, who are 3-1
so far this season, look to con-
tinue their winning streak.
Last Sunday, the Jayhawks in-
troduced their new formation
against Purdue, which gave the
midfelders more room to operate.
Afer the game, coach Mark
Francis said the team had not
practiced the formation before,
but executed it well. In the new
formation, the team create smore
ofensive opportunities, giving
the Jayhawks 23 shot attempts.
Also on the ofensive side, the
Jayhawks have been spreading
the scoring wealth. Seven difer-
ent players have scored in the frst
four games. Tere have been eight
goals scored, with only senior for-
ward Caroline Kastor fnding the
back of the net twice. Six players
have also had assists on those goals.
Tis weekend, there will be a new
player wearing the Kansas uniform.
Freshman defender Aurlie Gag-
net from Montpellier, France, who
arrived in Lawrence on Monday,
will be a part of the team. Gagnet
was not in town earlier because
she was playing for the France
Under-19 national team, which
competed in the UEFA European
U19 Cup last month. France beat
England 2-0 in the
championship match.
Te tournament this week-
end will take place in Sun
Devil Stadium. Kansas faces
Arizona on Sept. 6 at 6:30 p.m.
and Arizona State on Sept. 8 at 3:30
p.m. Te fourth team participat-
ing in the tournament is Illinois.

Mariners Morales sinks Royals
with ninth-inning home run
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Kend-
rys Morales hit a two-run homer
with two outs in the ninth in-
ning to lif the Seattle Mariners
to a 6-4 victory over the Kansas
City Royals on Wednesday night.
Morales hit his 18th home
run to straight away cen-
ter on a 1-2 pitch from Aar-
on Crow (7-5) with Franklin
Gutierrez, who
had walked, aboard.
Te Royals used eight
pitchers, tying a club re-
cord for a nine-inning game.
Lucas Luetge (1-2) worked
two perfect innings to earn
the victory. Danny Farquhar
worked a perfect ninth for his
12th save in 15 opportunities.
Taijuan Walker, who became
the youngest Mariners starting
pitcher (21 years, 17 days) to pick
up a victory in his major league
debut on Friday at Houston,
struck out two in the frst inning,
his fastball touching 97 mph.
Walker, a 6-foot-5 right-hander
who was also a basketball star in
high school with a 21-point av-
erage, did not allow a hit over the
frst three innings, but yielded four
runs, four hits, a walk and a sacri-
fce fy in the fourth to tie the score.
Jarrod Dysons two-out, two-run
single made it 4-4. Salvador Perezs
sacrifce fy scored Eric Hosmer,
who had singled for the frst Kansas
City hit. Billy Butler singled home
Emilo Bonifacio, who led of the
inning with a walk, for the frst run.
Walker lef afer fve in-
nings and 79 pitches.
Te Mariners, who had scored
just four runs in losing their previ-
ous three games, scored four runs
in the frst four innings and chased
Royals right-hander Ervin Santana.
Franklin Gutierrezs single in
the third scored Nick Frank-
lin, who had doubled. Brad
Millers sacrifce fy scored
Mike Zunino with the frst run.
Te Mariners made it 4-0
in the third. Franklin laced
an RBI-single to center, while
Dustin Ackley scored on a
wild pitch by Wade Davis.
Santana failed to make it
through the fourth, charged
with four runs, seven hits and
three walks in 3 1-3 innings,
his briefest outing of the year.

tin sought to ease concerns that
Russia's new anti-gay law would
be used to punish athletes who
display rainbow fags during the
Winter Olympics in Sochi, while
insisting that gays are not dis-
criminated against in his country.
"I assure you that I work with
these people, I sometimes award
them with state prizes or decora-
tions for their achievements in var-
ious felds," Putin said in an inter-
view with Te Associated Press and
Russia's state Channel 1 television
late Tuesday. "We have absolutely
normal relations, and I don't see
anything out of the ordinary here."
He added that Russians love
Tchaikovsky even though the
composer was said to have been
a homosexual. "Truth be told, we
don't love him because of that,
but he was a great musician and
we all love his music," Putin said.
Putin ofered to meet with mem-
bers of the gay and lesbian com-
munity if they asked to see him.
Te law on "propaganda of
nontraditional sexual relations,"
which Putin signed in July, makes
it illegal to expose minors to in-
formation that portrays these
relationships as normal or attrac-
tive. Te law imposes hefy fnes,
while also subjecting foreign cit-
izens to up to 15 days in prison.
While Russian ofcials have re-
assured the International Olympic
Committee that Russia will not
discriminate against homosex-
uals during the Feb. 7-23 Sochi
Games, they also have said that the
law will be enforced. Tis has lef
open the question of what would
happen to athletes or fans if they
made statements or gestures that
could be considered propaganda.
Nyad has no plans to slow down after swimming from Cuba to Florida
KEY WEST, Fla. Diana Nyad
may have fnally completed her
long-held dream of swimming
from Cuba to Florida, but even
at an age where many people
are thinking about retirement,
she isnt planning to slow down.
Te 64-year-old Nyad plans to
swim for 48 hours straight next
month, accompanied by celeb-
rities swimming laps alongside
her, in a specially designed swim-
ming pool that will be erected in
New York City to raise money
for Hurricane Sandy survivors.
Although the swimmer insists
she isnt trying to prove anything
I didnt do this because I was
in my 60s. I just happened to be in
my 60s, she says she acknowl-
edges that her success is having an
impact, not just on people of my
generation but on younger people.
I have a godson whos 14 and he
texted me yesterday and said, Im
never in my life again going to call
someone in their 60s old. Its over.
You just proved that youth doesnt
have anything to do with age.
And at one point during an inter-
view Tuesday with Te Associated
Press, the bronzed, muscular ath-
lete couldnt resist sharing a mes-
sage of encouragement and soli-
darity with those of her generation:
Baby Boomer power! she de-
clared, with a triumphant fst pump.
On her ffh try, Nyad fnished
the 110-mile swim from Hava-
na to Key West on Monday in 53
hours, becoming the frst to do
it without a shark cage. She said
that while she is slower than she
was back in her 20s when she
frst gained national attention for
swimming around Manhattan
and from the Bahamas to Florida,
she feels she is actually stronger.
Now Im more like a Clydes-
dale: Im a little thicker and stron-
ger literally stronger, I can lif
more weights, Nyad told the AP.
I feel like I could walk through a
brick wall. ... I think Im truly dead
center in the prime of my life at 64.
Nyad isnt alone among ag-
ing athletes who are dom-
inating their sports.
Earlier this year, 48-year-old Ber-
nard Hopkins became the oldest
boxer to win a major title, scoring
a 12-round unanimous decision
over Tavoris Cloud to claim the IBF
light heavyweight championship.
Tennis player Martina Navrati-
lova won a mixed doubles title at
the U.S. Open in 2006, just before
turning 50, and decades ago hock-
ey legend Gordie Howe played pro-
fessional hockey into his early 50s.
Golfer Tom Watson was nearly 60
when he fell just short of winning
the British Open in 2009. Last year,
baseballs Jamie Moyer was 49 when
he became the oldest starting pitch-
er to record a major-league win.
Tousands of U.S. ath-
letes, including 60-year-old
Kay Glynn, also compete
during the Senior Olympics.
Glynn, of Hastings, Iowa, has
won six gold medals in pole
vaulting at the Senior Olym-
pics and set a new pole vaulting
world record for her age in the
2011 National Senior Games.
Older athletes tend to fnd more
success in endurance events than
in power events such as sprint-
ing and other sports that rely on
fast- twitch muscle fbers, which
are more difcult to preserve later
in life, noted Wojtek Chodzko-Za-
jko, a physiologist at the Universi-
ty of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
But just because Nyad was swim-
ming rather than pounding her
joints against the concrete doesnt
mean she didnt achieve a remark-
able feat, Chodzko-Zajko said.
Tis ultra, super-length swim-
ming is brutal regardless, he
said, adding that another reason
athletes are able to endure is be-
cause they ofen train smarter
and have a mental concentration
that is well-honed over decades.
Shes one of any number of peo-
ple who are redefning what hap-
pens with aging, said Dr. Michael J.
Joyner, an anesthesiologist and exer-
cise researcher at Te Mayo Clinic.
If you start with a high ca-
pacity, you have some reserves,
Joyner said. You can lose some
absolute power, but what you
lose in power you can make up
for with experience and strat-
egy and better preparation.
Nyad frst attempted swimming
from Cuba to Florida at age 29
with a shark cage. She didnt try
again until 2011 when she was 61.
She tried twice more in the past
two years before beginning her
ffh attempt Saturday morning
with a leap of the seawall of the
Hemingway Marina into the warm
waters of Havana. She paused
occasionally for nourishment,
but never lef the water until she
reached the white sand beach-
es of the Keys and waded ashore.
Nyad says her age and maturity
should not be discounted when
measuring her most recent success.
Its not so much the physical,
she said. To my mind all of us
... we mature emotionally ... and
we get stronger mentally because
we have a perspective on what
this life is all about, Nyad said.
Its more emotional. I feel calmer,
I feel that the world isnt going to
end if I dont make it. And Im not
so ego-involved: What are people
going to think of me? Im really
focused on why I want to do it.
Australian Susie Maroney suc-
cessfully swam the Straits in 1997
at age 22 with a shark cage, which
besides providing protection from
the predators, has a drafing ef-
fect that pulls a swimmer along.
In 2012, 49-year-old Australian
Penny Palfrey swam 79 miles to-
ward Florida without a cage be-
fore strong currents forced her
to stop. Tis June, Palfreys coun-
trywoman Chloe McCardel, 28,
made it 11 hours and 14 miles be-
fore jellyfsh stings ended her bid.
Nyad acknowledged Tuesday that
she was glad when McCardel didnt
make it before she had a chance to,
but she did add, to laughter from her
team, I didnt want her to get bit-
ten by jellyfsh or die or anything.

Football season starts this
weekend for the Kansas Jay-
hawks, which also means
the return of tailgate season.
You wake up at 8 in the morn-
ing, get wasted, said KC Wa-
terman, a junior from Shawnee.
Ten go watch our football team,
but try to have fun with it at least.
Tis has been a common game
day itinerary for many KU students
in recent years. Its not like that
wasnt happening in the 2007-2008
season, when Kansas strung togeth-
er an 11-1 season. But student at-
tendance at the game has dwindled
drastically and theres no denying it.
Overall I think Kansas has been
in a slump, so I think students are
expecting that again, said Kris-
tine Flynn, a freshman from Chi-
cago. So I think students are just
going to use that as an excuse for
game day as just a recreational day.
Watching Kansas football has
been unbearable in previous
years. Teyve won six games in
the past three years, losing 16 of
36 games by more than 20 points.
Tey havent beaten a conference
opponent in two years. But stu-
dents say you can forget the past.
Over the past few years I think
everyone has just come to think
that theyre pretty terrible, but
since Charlie Weis came as the
head coach, everyone thinks
theyre heading in at least a decent
direction now, Waterman said.
So is Charlie Weis the one to pull
students from tailgates and into the
stands? With the odds in Kansas
favor this Saturday, more students
may choose to enter Memorial Sta-
dium to see the Jayhawks attempt to
get their frst victory in over a year.
Hopefully theyre better than
they were last year and I think we
will be. I dont think we look too
bad, Dylan DeVries, a freshman
from Olathe, said, I still have faith.

KANSAS UNION
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. A
decision on Blaine Gabbert's
return from a broken thumb
could stretch until game day.
Jacksonville Jaguars coach Gus
Bradley said Wednesday that his
quarterback decision "very eas-
ily could" last until before Sun-
day's game against Kansas City.
"We've got some decisions to
make," Bradley said. "I know he
feels better every day, so I think
we're going to have to get as much
time as we can to evaluate this."
Gabbert, who had a small
amount of tape on his thumb, was
limited in practice Wednesday.
"At times he looked good, and
at times he looked like he had an
injury," Bradley said on a confer-
ence call with Kansas City media.
With Jacksonville reporters,
Bradley was more optimistic.
"I thought I saw some glimps-
es at the end where he was start-
ing to get into a little bit more
of a rhythm," Bradley said.
Gabbert sustained a hairline
fracture in his right thumb during
the team's second preseason
game, Aug. 17 at the New York
Jets. Gabbert sat out the fnal
two exhibitions, and team doc-
tors thought he would be healthy
enough to play against the Chiefs.
He started gripping a football
last week and making throws.
But it remains to be seen how his
thumb will hold up during live ac-
tion or with the pounding of snaps.
"You can't worry about it," Gab-
bert said. "In practice you can't
worry about it because then you're
thinking about something that's
really not relevant
when you're going
through a play, a
progression and a
read. I imagine on
game day it won't
even be a thought in
my mind. ... Tat's
something that's
taking your mind
away from the goal
at hand, which is
executing the plays,
scoring points and
winning a football
game. You're not worried about a
little nick you have here or there."
If Gabbert can't play, backup
Chad Henne would get the start.
"I have to prepare to be the starter
and practice that way, and whatev-
er decision's made, at least I know
I'll be ready," Henne said. "I can't
control any of that. It's up to the
coaching staf. Whatever they feel
comfortable. For me, it's just pre-
pare as much as I can and hope-
fully it'll carry over to game day."
What Bradley hopes to avoid is
a scenario in which Gabbert starts
and then isn't able to fnish the game.
"I'm not saying we won't make
a mistake if that occurs, but that's
why we're
taking a look
at all of our
options and
making sure
right now so
we can make a
well-informed
d e c i s i o n , "
Bradley said.
G a b b e r t
has played
through pain
before: a nag-
ging toe inju-
ry as a rookie in 2011 and a torn
labrum in his lef, non-throwing
shoulder last season. But neither of
those afected how he gripped and
threw the ball. So this injury is more
concerning for him and the team.
"He's going to feel it," Bradley
said. "I don't know the pain's go-
ing to be gone, you know. I don't
know if that's going to happen. It
may be, but I imagine with some-
thing like that he's going to have
a little bit of pain in there, so can
he be efective? Is it a distraction
for him? Can he tolerate it? Tose
are all things we've just got to fnd
out with him and how he's feeling.
"All I can say is this: When I meet
with him, he tells me, 'Hey, it's get-
ting better. It's getting better. I felt
less today than I did yesterday.' So
he's progressing. With that in mind,
we know we still have some time."

WICHITA Wichita State freshman
guard D.J. Bowles will undergo tests
to determine why he blacked out at
practice.
Bowles was taken to a Wichita
hospital Tuesday night after collapsing
during a workout at Koch Arena. Assis-
tant athletic director Larry Rankin says
Bowles was stable and talking when he
was taken to Via Christi on St. Francis.
Bowles' father, Darren Bowles, says
his 18-year-old son is scheduled
to undergo tests at the hospital on
Wednesday.
Bowles is from Chattanooga, Tenn.,
but played last season at Oldsmar
Christian High School in Florida.
