October is KU Hunger

Awareness Month, and KU

Fights Hunger, along with
other student groups, are
working hard to help hungry
students. According to Erin
Ice, program coordinator for
Daily Bread, a program with
the Center for Community
Outreach, the University food
pantry serves 40 to 50 stu-
dents and residents a month.
About fve years ago, staf on
campus started a food drive
to gather food for students
in need because there wasnt
anything in place. Back then,
volunteers were mostly staf,
said Telma Simons, advisor
and president of KU Fights
Hunger.
But as the years have passed,
more students have gotten
involved. Simons said that in
the beginning there werent
as many people to share the
workload, but last year and
this year things have been
more efcient because theyre
more organized and tasks are
delegated.
Tis year has been amazing
to me, the way that everybody
is picking up on things, Si-
mons said.
Simons said that the easiest
way students can help out is
simply to donate. Tere are
24 donation bins scattered
around campus, so they can
drop of food at any time this
month before the bins are col-
lected.
October was designated
as hunger awareness month
beginning last year because
KU Fights Hunger wants as
much student involvement as
possible. Te food drive was
previously in the summer, but
it was moved to the fall when
more students are on campus.
Tere are diferent groups
that have interest in hun-
ger issues, so were trying to
be a connecting point for all
those, Simons said.
Two of the main events com-
ing up are KU Hunger Sum-
mit and National Student Day.
KU Hunger Summit is on
Oct. 17 from 9 a.m. to noon.
A food activist will speak to
get the event started, followed
by another speaker, and then
attendees will get together
and try to fgure out more ef-
fective ways to help people in
need. Tis is the frst year for
the event and Simons hopes it
will become annual.
Simons said last year there
was just a small discussion
over lunch, but hopes a lot
more people will be attending
and the speech will lead to
action. Lisa Eitner, marketing
coordinator for KU Memori-
al Unions, said she hopes to
see it develop into something
thats more than a discussion.
You have the chance to ac-
tually form some action, an
action agenda, as opposed to
just a sort of passive accep-
tance of information, Eitner
said. It could be very em-
powering for students.
National Student Day is a
nation-wide event that occurs
on Oct. 9 where various uni-
versities promote social re-
sponsibility to their students.
It happens simultaneously
all over the U.S. and Canada,
and each university has their
own way of promoting and
celebrating. Te University
is celebrating this day in the
Kansas Union bookstore this
Tursday from 10 a.m. to 3
p.m. Teres also a national
contest where winners receive
$1,000 and an additional
$1,000 for a charity of their
choice.
One incentive for coming to
the bookstore is that students
can enter a drawing to win a
mountain bike. Although its
not required for the contest,
students are encouraged to
donate $1 or a nonperishable
food item when they enter the
drawing. Tere will also be
a few information tables set
up, free sampling of nutrition
bars and a spin-the-wheel
game where students can win
coupons and candy.
Eitner said that they want
to create an energetic, engag-
ing environment for students
while educating them about
hunger awareness and ways
they can help.
Simons said another way
that students can help is by
eating at the residence hall
dining rooms on Oct. 22
when Mrs. Es, Oliver Dining
and North College Caf will
donate $1 for every meal that
is purchased that evening.
Students can also donate
food to the University food
pantry, Campus Cupboard,
which is at the Ecumenical
Campus Ministries building
on campus. Daily Bread helps
run the pantry.
Students who are in need
of food can go to Just Food,
which is on the corner of 11th
Street and Haskell, or Campus
Cupboard. For more informa-
tion on KU Hunger Aware-
ness Month, go to http://sus-
tain.ku.edu/hunger.

HELPING THE HUNGRY
Campus groups like KU Fights Hunger help students and residents in need

This year has been amazing

to me, the way that everybody
is picking up on things.
THELMA SIMONS
President of KU Fights Hunger
Election ofcials reach out to voters on hold
ALLISON KITE
@Allie_Kite
Ninety students who live in
University housing remain on
the list of Kansans who have
attempted to register but have
not yet provided proof of citi-
zenship.
Douglas County election
ofcials and the League of
Women Voters are trying to
reach more than 784 citizens
of Douglas County on a list of
voters in suspense, includ-
ing 388 voters between the
ages of 18 and 24.
Statewide, more than 22,000
voter registration applications
are on hold, most because
they are missing proof of cit-
izenship, per a 2012 Kansas
law. Others are on hold be-
cause they are incomplete or
the citizen has not yet turned
18. Te Nov. 4 election will be
the frst the 2012 law will af-
fect.
Eforts to call and even
search the University direc-
tory for those who might be
students have proven to be
only somewhat successful,
said Cille King, president of
the League of Women Voters
of Lawrence-Douglas County.
Te phone number portion of
the voter registration applica-
tion is optional, so the league
has been unable to reach
many of the voters.
Te Douglas County clerks
ofce has been combatting
this issue with marginal suc-
cess since January of this year.
Potential voters received two
letters with instructions afer
flling out their application.
Te clerks ofce began mail-
ing monthly reminder post-
cards in January
I would say it has been min-
imally efective, especially on
the mailers, said Jamie Shew,
Douglas County clerk. When
we made the phone calls, we
had some people who we were
able to get documents from,
but a lot of what we heard was,
Yeah, Ill get to it.
While voter registration
drives like the ones on and
of campus now help citi-
zens through the application,
they can no longer fnish the
process on the spot. Because
most people dont carry proof
of citizenship like a birth cer-
tifcate or passport, Kansans
registering to vote have to
take an extra step afer apply-
ing at a drive. King said this
has been an issue, making
voter registration drives less
efective.
When we flled out an ap-
plication and tried to make
sure it was complete, it was
done, King said. In fact, a
few of the KU students that we
called ... said they were told
they were done from a voter
drive on campus.
Shew said it was easy to turn
in proof of citizenship because
the ofce does not require a
certifed document.
You can send it to us elec-
tronically, he said. Tey can
take a picture of it with their
phone and send it to us.
King said Secretary of State
Kris Kobach has been going
through Kansas birth certif-
icates and matching them to
voter registration applications
to help with the issue. She es-
timated that without this ef-
fort, 40,000 voters would be
suspended.
Voter registration closes Oct.
14, but voters can turn in their
proof of citizenship until the
day before the election, Nov.
3. If they are not on the list
for complete registration, they
will be given a provisional
ballot. Following the election,
ofcials will double check the
provisional ballots. If some-
one turned in their citizen-
ship between Oct. 14 and Nov.
3 their vote will be counted.
Otherwise, their ballot will be
thrown out and they will not
be notifed.

University student, man
arrested for suspicion of
rapes in Hashinger Hall
Two men, including a Universi-
ty student, were arrested Tuesday
evening on suspicion of raping two
women, according to Capt. James
Anguiano of the KU Public Safety
Ofce.
The alleged rapes occurred be-
tween 2 and 5 a.m. on Sept. 28 in
Hashinger Residence Hall, Anguiano
said. Both men are 21 years old.
Anguiano said the reports came
from both women through PSO and
the ofce has been investigating the
incident since Oct. 3. He said the
incident occurred the same morning
as the alleged Kappa Sigma frater-
nity incident, but the two are not
related.
The PSO is reviewing this inci-
dent because it occurred on cam-
pus, whereas the Lawrence Police
Department is investigating the
alleged sexual assaults at Kappa
Sigma, which is off campus at 1045
Emery Rd.
The Ofce will submit reports to
the Douglas County District Attor-
ney for review and to determine if
charges are led.
The Douglas County District Attor-
ney said their rst court appearance
is Thursday afternoon.
Students did not receive an alert of
the arrests to their campus emails
on Wednesday.
Jack Martin from Public Affairs
said alerts are only sent to students
when the Public Safety Ofce needs
information from the public or cam-
pus community for an investigation
and in the case of an immediate
threat or action that needs to be
taken.

Academic resources see inux of students
During the weeks of mid-
terms, libraries fll up with
students determined to buckle
down and avoid the panic of
going into the second half of
the semester with a low grade.
Marie Schmitz, the lead of-
fce assistant of the KU Writ-
ing Center, said there have
been a total of 266 consulta-
tion appointments scheduled
at the Writing Center within
the frst nine days of October,
and last year there were a total
of 352 consultations during
this time.
Schmitz said its common to
have more students visit the
Writing Center during the
weeks of midterms and fnals.
She suggests students make
appointments during these
times, instead of relying on
walk-in appointments.
Students with appointments
are given priority over stu-
dents who walk in, wanting to
meet with a consultant.
Te Writing Center does
not add additional hours or
hire more consultants during
this period, and there are a f-
nite amount of appointments
available.
According to the KU Writ-
ing Center website, the objec-
tive of the Writing Center is to
provide feedback to students
on their writing through dif-
ferent mediums.
Te KU Writing Center of-
fers face-to-face writing con-
sultations, videoconferences
and feedback via email. Te
face-to-face consultations are
ofered at several diferent
campus locations. Of the 266
appointments in the frst ten
days of October, 33 have been
over e-mail.
With the infux of appoint-
ments, consultants have less
time to cater to students who
rely on walk-in appointments.
I didnt make an appoint-
ment, so I didnt get in on
time, my paper never got
looked at, and I was irritated
they couldnt ft me in. said
Morgan Trout, a freshman
from Overland Park. I un-
derstand why you need ap-
pointments, but I would have
still like to be seen.
Te Writing Center is not
the only University service ex-
periencing an increase in stu-
dents wanting appointments.
Kristin Scott is one of three
full-time staf members of
the Academic Achievement
and Access Center, located
in room 4017 Wescoe. Te
center provides learning
strategy consultations, group
workshops or general or
course-specifc academic as-
sistance.
Scott said a lot of students
decide to come in and plan
the second half of the semes-
ter afer having gone through
midterms.
You have to fgure out what
you did well the frst half and
what you are going to do bet-
ter the second half [of the se-
mester] Scott said.
Scott said her staf is there to
help decide how to do that.
Students interested in join-
ing study groups ofered by
the AAAC are able to join
these groups until October 31.
Students wanting feedback on
their writing can make an ap-
pointment with the KU Writ-
ing Center at writing.ku.edu.

Voter registration
efforts continue at
residence halls
On-campus voter registration
efforts will continue from 4:30
to 6:30 p.m. Thursday at every
residence hall.
So far, more than 400 students
have registered to vote on cam-
pus, but the Future Majority has
decided to hold another voter
registration drive, according to
Joey Hentzler, director of events
for the Future Majority. Hentzler
said the participating organi-
zations want to improve tradi-
tionally low voter turnout among
students.
Theres an absence of student
representation, Hentzler said.
Our issues are swept under the
table because we dont show up
at the polls.
Students will be able to reg-
ister at the tables and ll out
forms to request advance or
absentee ballots, which can be
used to vote in whichever county
students are registered.
The event is being sponsored by
several campus political organi-
zations including the Dole Insti-
tute, Student Legislative Aware-
ness Board (SLAB), KU Young
Democrats, Students United for
Reproductive and Gender Equity
(SURGE) and the Future Majority.
He said the College Republicans
are also helping promote it, but
will not be able to attend.
Hentzler said young voters can
make a difference if enough stu-
dents turn out at the polls.
KUs vote can change the
composition of the legislature,
he said.

Lawyer accused of rape
quits chokehold case
NEW YORK An attorney ac-
cused of raping a woman will no
longer represent the family of a
man who died after being placed
in a police chokehold.
Attorney Sanford Rubenstein
doesnt want the womans claims
to distract from the Eric Garner
case, his law partner said.
The brash, publicity-hungry at-
torney, whos known for winning
huge settlements in police bru-
tality cases, hasnt been arrested
or charged and denies any crimi-
nal conduct. His withdrawal from
the chokehold case allows the
Garner family to push forward for
accountability, said law partner
Scott Rynecki, who will replace
him.
The family looks forward to
having their day in court, Rynec-
ki said.
Garners family has led
through Rubensteins law rm a
notice of claim to sue the city,
the New York Police Department
and six ofcers for $75 million.
A spokesman for city Comptroller
Scott Stringer said Tuesday that
the familys notice of claim was
under review, and the citys Law
Department said it would review
the claim thoroughly.
Garner, who was unarmed, was
stopped by police on Staten Is-
land on July 17 on suspicion of
selling loose, untaxed cigarettes.
A video shot by an onlooker
shows Garner telling the ofcers
to leave him alone and refusing
to be handcuffed.
An ofcer responded by putting
Garner in a chokehold, which is
banned under police policy. Gar-
ner, who had asthma, is heard
gasping, I cant breathe. He
was pronounced dead later at a
hospital.
The city medical examiner
found that the police chokehold
contributed to Garners death.
Police have promised to retrain
ofcers on the use of force. A
grand jury will determine whether
criminal charges are led.
Garners death has sparked
protests including an Aug. 23
march on Staten Island that drew
thousands of people demanding
justice.
Rubensteins accuser said the
attack on her happened when
she went back to his Manhattan
apartment following a 60th birth-
day party last week for the Rev. Al
Sharpton.
Sharpton, a civil rights advo-
cate, has championed the Garner
familys pleas for justice.

Student Senate to vote on department name
MIRANDA DAVIS
@MirandaDavisUDK
A representative from Stu-
dent Health Services proposed
a potential name change for
the department at Wednes-
day nights full Student Senate
meeting.
Douglas Dechairo, director
and chief of staf of Student
Health Services, said the de-
partment has conducted mar-
keting research and discov-
ered that there is confusion
with the current name. He said
many students think that stu-
dents are providing services
instead of trained medical
personnel.
Students have also been con-
fused about the afliation with
Watkins Memorial Health cen-
ter, the building that houses
health services, which is why
Dechairo proposed the name
Watkins Health Services.
Dechairo also said that there
have been conversations about
adding dental care and ortho-
pedics to the center. He said
that Student Health Services
is also working to provide free
STI testing, but he said he does
not know if funding will be
available.
Dechairo said these addi-
tional services would pay rent
to be within Watkins Memo-
rial Health Center and there-
fore, would not raise student
fees to in relation to the health
center.
If anything, our students
beneft because they pay us
rent to use our building to run
the clinic and we beneft be-
cause that gives revenue to us
to turn around and give more
services to students, Dechairo
said.
Student Body President Mor-
gan Said said that senators can
write a resolution to change
the name and send it to com-
mittees for discussion and
voting. Ten it would pass to
full senate. If the bill passes in
both committees and full sen-
ate then Student Health Ser-
vices would have a green light
to change its name.
OTHER BUSINESS DISCUSSED:
A University Senate meet-
ing is Friday and conversation
will be about a change in pol-
icy that would allow students
on active military who have
to leave for short periods of
time to make up exams and
work that they may miss in
the classroom. Te University
Senate will vote on this Nov. 6.
Tis policy already passed in
Student Senate but must also
pass in University Senate in
order to update the policy.
Its a great thing were fnally
able to put through here, Mi-
randa Wagner, student body
vice president, said.
Wagner also mentioned that
work has begun on the men-
tal health platform and that
members of senate will meet
with the director of Counsel-
ing and Psychological Ser-
vices next Tursday to discuss
plans.

CLAS to launch language school in 2015
Afer a year of work, the for-
eign language departments in
the College of Liberal Arts and
Sciences have come together to
form the School of Languages,
Literatures and Cultures, which
will launch publicly next Au-
gust.
According to Marc Green-
berg, director of the new
school and chair for German-
ic languages and literatures,
the school will ofer the same
courses that individual depart-
ments have ofered in the past,
which can be viewed on each
departments individual web-
sites.
We ofer 40 languages at this
university, more than any other
between the Rocky Mountains
and the Mississippi River, said
Danny Anderson, dean of lib-
eral arts and sciences. Te
School of Languages, Litera-
tures and Cultures will serve as
both a destination and a portal
to those interested in expand-
ing their linguistic abilities and
cultural awareness.
Greenberg said that the East
Asian Languages and Cultures,
French & Italian, Germanic,
Slavic and Spanish & Portu-
guese programs will make up
the core departments of the
new school. Departments
within the African and Afri-
can-American Studies, Clas-
sics, Linguistics, Jewish Studies
and Area Studies programs will
also be included.
During the last year, several
dozen members of the Univer-
sity community, faculty, staf
and student body worked in
committees to form the new
school, which was approved by
the Kansas Board of Regents on
Sept. 17.
Te process gave us a chance
to think creatively about what
we might do in the future to
deploy our resources not only
efciently, but also create new
opportunities for students,
Greenberg said. Over the next
few years you will see evolutive
change in the way we operate,
with a great deal of attention
given to students evolving
needs and interests.
Anderson hopes that the cre-
ation of this school will open
up more co-curricular options
such as guest speakers, career
lectures and internship oppor-
tunities, as well as a way for
foreign language students to
associate with each other.
By creating a tighter-knit
community of language-teach-
ing practitioners, we will fos-
ter a culture of best practices
as well as provide opportuni-
ties for professional support,
Greenberg said.
Ann Schofeld, associate dean
of humanities, said she believes
the new school will provide an
opportunity for students to get
ahead in the competitive, inter-
national job market of today.
Schofeld says that from busi-
ness to engineering, every feld
across the board can beneft
from a great knowledge of oth-
er languages and cultures.
Study in foreign languages
can take students from KU to
nearly anywhere around the
globe, Anderson said. Alumni
with language skills have found
jobs from Hong Kong to Brazil
to France to Nigeria. Tey work
overseas for major corporations
or humanitarian organizations,
as professors, as entrepreneurs,
and a whole host of other ca-
reers. Its a fantastic launching
point.

What are your plans
for Fall Break?
Censorship does not help us move forward, but backwards
T
his summer, I
read Lolita
by Vladimir
Nabokov. While
purchasing it, I noticed
the man at the register
giving me some side-eye
as he rang up my book.
His look seemed to say,
Should you be reading
this? Do you know what
this is about?
I wasnt oblivious to
the novels content,
and I was aware of the
stigma attached to the
story. Lolita had been
banned across the globe
for obscenity, and that
was partially the reason
I chose to read it. I
consider Lolita one
of the most compelling
novels Ive ever read.
During Septembers
Banned Books Week,
I was thinking about
Lolita and how I would
not have been able to
experience it had I lived
in the Middle East or
another part of the world
that practices censorship.
I thought of how unfair it
is to deprive thousands of
people of a book simply
because it deals with the
unsavory aspects of our
lives. But to me, reading
is the key to empathy;
by taking peoples books
away, you take their
tolerance as well.
Right on the heels of
Banned Books Week,
the Denver school board
announced its proposal
to censor AP history
classes. Understandably,
this caused an outrage
among students and
teachers, leading to
daylong protests.
Originally, the school
board looked to remove
all events that encourage
or condone civil disorder,
social strife or disregard
of the law, according to
CBS News. Now, it has
changed the original
wording of its proposal,
but still passed a proposal
that requires curriculum
to be reviewed by a
committee. If curriculum
is changed too much,
the College Board will
strip classes of their AP
rankings.
The time the Denver
school board spent in
history class must be far
behind them because
civil disorder, social strife
and disregard of the law
are the building blocks of
American history.
In fact, our countrys
independence stems
from an act of civil
disorder and disregard
of the law, known as the
Revolutionary War. Are
we going to stop teaching
our students about
unlawful events like the
Boston Tea Party? Are we
going to push the entire
civil rights and womens
suffrage movements out
of the way in favor of
something more plush
and less strife-ridden?
This proposal reveals
a gaping hole in our
society. Banning a book
or censoring history
classes are fruitless
methods of cutting
out the less desirable
aspects of human nature.
Banning Lolita wont
protect society from
pedophilia, just like
cutting the Trail of
Tears from high school
curriculum wont change
history.
Censorship is a type
of wishful thinking that
is dangerous to society.
When an authority bans
public access to certain
themes or content, it
sentences them to a
lifetime of incompetence.
When school officials
pull The Hunger
Games from shelves due
to excessive violence,
theyre missing the
overall point of the book
and, ironically, depriving
students of the message
that we should always
be cautious when power
is given to the wrong
people.
At the same time,
when a school prevents
students from studying
the Holocaust because of
its concern for students
welfare, it isnt helping
students. When students
see unsavory pictures
and read horrifying
statistics, it drives the
point that some things
in our past were wrong,
and measures need to be
taken to ensure they dont
happen again.
Though censorship is
an attempt at purifying
our society, all it does
is taint it. Censoring
books or history because
they portray us in a
negative light is an insult
to readers and students
who deserve to have
unhindered access to
content that will make
them more aware and,
ultimately, more valuable
citizens.

Late Night in the Phog

Hong Kong protests should elicit more than solidarity
T
housands of
Chinese students
are protesting
against Beijings policies
regarding Hong Kongs
supposed political
autonomy. When Hong
Kong was handed over
to China from the
United Kingdom in
1997, stipulations of the
handover required that
Hong Kong be allowed to
democratically elect their
chief executive politician
beginning in 2017,
according to BBC News.
China, however, recently
announced it would
allow Hong Kong to vote
only from a selection of
pre-approved candidates
a move that ignited the
protests.
The protesters efforts
have been successful in
drawing international
attention to the situation,
but it isnt clear how
effective the protests will
be in changing Beijings
notoriously stubborn
political agenda. Beijing
finds itself in an awkward
position wanting
badly to suppress the
protests, while having
to restrain itself from
getting physically
involved in Hong Kong
territory. International
commentary has
condemned Chinas
authoritarian-style
approach in seeking
to maintain control
over Hong Kong,
clearly disregarding
the 1997 agreement.
Beijing, however, has
been playing down the
international response,
claiming the matter as
an internal conflict it
hopes to quickly resolve
(in its favor, of course).
As peers of those
protesters, how should we
react to the daily doses of
news from Hong Kong?
As citizens of a (mostly)
free and (mostly)
democratically operated
country, we should first
of all feel solidarity with
democracy-minded
Hong Kong citizens.
They are fighting for a
freedom that we have the
privilege of regarding
as self-evident. Imagine
what it would be like to
live under the control of
communist China; then,
think about how many
people of the world live
under similar rule. If
you do take democracy
to be a self-evident
societal freedom, then its
important to recognize
that we shouldnt take
our political freedom for
granted as easily as we do
most of the time.
You might realize
many of the issues
we get caught up in
are pretty silly in
comparison to what
goes on in the rest of the
world. While citizens
in Hong Kong protest
against authoritarian
rule, our University
finds it important to
sack its football coach
due to our poorly
performing football
team. Even worse, our
democratic political
system finds itself
plagued by situations
that insult the value of
having a free political
system in the first place.
For example, Kansas
gubernatorial candidates
are currently engaged in
petty competition with
one another, attempting
to create negative
images of the other and
often using politically
irrelevant examples in
order to obtain office.
This is insulting to
our system because it
makes it seem acceptable
to treat freedom
like a child, often
employing dishonesty
and psychological
manipulation in order to
obtain control of it.
Here, and in the rest
of the country, these
situations are common
because we take our
political freedom for
granted. The current
situation in Hong Kong
should teach us to find
more respect for the
democratic system we
have grown up in.

Te date on the letter reads
December 11, 1941.
Hello Darling, the letter
begins. I have been thinking
a lot about us getting mar-
ried.
On Dec. 11, 2013, while
cleaning out Hazel Ander-
sons ofce in preparation for
her memorial service, Hazels
granddaughter, Katherine
Anderson, stumbled across a
box of old letters. Katherine
selected one from the middle
of a stack at random, and no-
ticed that it was dated exactly
72 years earlier.
It was dated the same day,
and it was the one letter where
my grandfather talked about
marrying my grandmother,
said Katherine, a third-gener-
ation Jayhawk who graduated
with an MBA in business in
2013. We took that as a sign
that they were okay with us
continuing to read the letters.
In August, out of a desire to
preserve her grandparents
legacy and tell their lifelong
love story, Katherine created
a Kickstarter project to fund
the publishing of a book of
the love letters exchanged
between her grandparents:
Raymond Andy Anderson
and Hazel Katherine Lee,
Andys high school sweet-
heart, future business partner,
and eventual wife.
Over the course of Andys
fve-year Navy deployment,
the two would exchange over
300 letters. As of Oct. 8, 2014,
the project had raised $525,
exceeding the stated goal of
$500. Katherine said once she
fnishes the manuscript she
will be sending it over to pub-
lishers. She said if it doesnt
get picked up by a publisher
then she will self-publish and
sell the book on Amazon and
to local bookstores in Law-
rence.
Andy and Hazel frst met
while growing up in Law-
rence. Tey started dating
as teenagers and remained
a couple through their
mid-twenties, when Andy
was drafed into Navy ser-
vice in WWII, Katherine said.
Before being deployed, Andy
wrote the December 11 letter
to Hazel, expressing his desire
to marry her.
Tey got married on Dec.
31, 1941 and then he had to
go of to war, Katherine said.
And then they started send-
ing these letters.
Katherine said the letters
range in length and tone, as
some of her grandfathers
were short and contained
simple details of what he had
done that day while others
were longer and fowed with
romantic sentiments for her
grandmother, who attended
the University around 1936.
When youre reading the
letters, you see that he was
just 100 percent enamored
with her, Katherine said.
In 1946, upon returning
to Lawrence, Andy and Ha-
zel started the business that
is now known as Anderson
Rentals. Te business remains
open today, and celebrated
its 68th year of business this
year.
Te two of them were kind
of the perfect yin and yang,
Robert Andy Anderson
said, Katherines brother and
Andy and Hazels grandson.
He was the face and she was
the brains and the books.
Katherine said that while
both of her grandparents had
distinct individual personal-
ities, those that knew them
remember the husband and
wifes deep love for each oth-
er. Katherine said that one
of the few ways to anger her
easy-going and playful grand-
father was to insult her grand-
mother.
Above anything, beyond
their individual personalities,
the one thing everyone took
away from them was how
much they loved each other,
Katherine said. Tere was
zero question.

Founder of Demetrio Tequila, Marion Mariathsan, showcases his three different types of tequila.
Te founders of Deme-
trio Tequila, University
alumni Marion and Gra-
cian Mariathasan, returned
to Lawrence last weekend
and hosted a pub crawl that
featured fve diferent Law-
rence bars. Marion recruit-
ed bar-crawlers throughout
the night at each location,
buying people drinks made
with his tequila and indi-
vidually handing out black
rubber wristbands fea-
turing Demetrio Tequila.
Te wristbands not only
promote his company but
raise awareness for a greater
cause as well.
We just (wanted) to do
something fun. Tis is a
homecoming for us. Law-
rence, here we are. Mari-
on said. Its a great way to
build some awareness.
Te Mariathasan brothers
are also promoting philan-
thropy with their product
through the organization
Water for People. Water
For People is a nonproft
company based out of Den-
ver that creates sustainable
water development around
the world. Demetrio Te-
quila donates eight percent
of their profts to Water for
People.
Its very simple. For all of
us that have the luxury of
paying money for a liquid
that makes us feel warm and
fuzzy, lets make sure people
arent dying for lack of clean
water, Marion said.
Eric Tiessen, a senior
from Inman, is a server at
Merchants, which was the
second stop on the bar-
crawl. He said he is strongly
in support of Demetrio Te-
quila because of their goals
and the companys vision.
Teyre helping raise
awareness to help with
water cleanliness in difer-
ent areas, Tiessen said.
Teyre trying to keep it
local, even though we cant
grow any agave in Kansas.
Te pub crawl took place
on Saturday, Oct. 4, and be-
gan at Cielito Lindo. It then
moved to Merchants, the
Jazzhaus, and then to Eighth
Street Taproom where the
Mariathasan brothers had
hired a salsa DJ.
Te reason we chose the
bars that we (went) to is that
they are big supporters of
our product, Marion said.
We wanted to support the
guys that support us.
Te pub-crawl fnished at
Henrys Upstairs, which was
the frst bar in Lawrence
that ofered Demetrio Te-
quila as a menu item back
when the company was in
its beginning stages.
Tese guys are the most
honest and fun people you
can imagine, Dave Boulter,
owner of Henrys said.
Marion said choosing te-
quila was, and still is, an
easy decision for him. He
said that by 2016 tequila is
slated to be the number one
spirit in the world. In ad-
dition to its marketability,
he said he loves tasting the
product himself. He char-
acterized Demetrio as a
sipping tequila, but said it
also tastes great with certain
mixers.
I drink a ginger soda
splashed with ginger ale. It
brings out the favor, but its
also very smooth, Marion
said.
In addition to his philan-
thropy and his business
ventures, this year Marion
was selected as delegate for
the United Nations Founda-
tion, he said he is very active
with the U.N. Marion has
also started a philanthropic
social media website called
SoRewarding. Te reasons
behind Marions social ac-
tivism stem from the adver-
sity he faced while growing
up.
Boulter said when Marion
and Gracian were young,
they lef Sri Lanka essential-
ly as political refugees. Tey
eventually made their way
to Lawrence and graduated
from the University in 1999.
Marion was a computer in-
formation systems major
with a minor in business
Medicinal garden
open to students
Only a quick 10 minutes from
downtown Lawrence, a pictur-
esque garden known as the Na-
tive Medicinal Plant Research
Garden includes a variety of
plants that scientists, faculty,
researchers and graduate stu-
dents have used for research
and show purposes.
Kelly Kindscher, a senior sci-
entist for the Kansas Biological
Survey and professor of en-
vironmental studies, said the
1,600-acre garden was started
by funding through KU En-
dowment. Te garden recently
found a plant said to hold an-
ti-cancer compounds.
Specifcally, weve found the
wild tomatillo to have pretty
potent anti-cancer compounds
and we are currently doing re-
search on them hoping to even-
tually see more efective results
on a larger scale, Kindscher
said.
Te garden is part of the KU
Field Station, which covers
3,400 acres in four diferent
sites throughout eastern Kan-
sas. Kirsten Bosnak, the com-
munications director for the
Kansas Biological Survey, said
she has never seen anyone visit
the garden and leave unhappy.
I think people are drawn
in two ways. I think they are
drawn to it because theyre
getting a sensory experience,
touch, smell, even taste or just
knowing certain plants have
been used in foods. Te second
thing is that they are connect-
ing with the native landscape as
it was here years ago, and with
the history of this place and
how many of these plants were
used, Bosnak said.
On Oct. 4, Kindscher led a
tour through the garden. Ac-
cording to the gardens website,
about 25 people attended the
tour.
Since we have the garden, we
feel the need to share it with
others so we do tours at least
once a year, sometimes twice,
with the purpose of showing
people and telling people about
our research as well as giving
the student farm an opportu-
nity to show of their work,
Kindscher said.
Bosnak said she has noticed a
wide range in people that come
to view all the garden has to
ofer. She said she has seen all
age groups from all around the
world.
Bosnak assisted in creating
the Native Medicinal Plant
Research Garden. Her back-
ground comes from her pas-
sion for gardening, which she
has been doing for decades,
and experience in the prairie
that sits on her mothers farm.
I worked a lot with com-
munications and outreach,
and I also have a horticulture
background, not academic, but
experience in some of the stud-
ies, Bosnak said.
Te garden has several parts
to it including the research area
and the show garden. Te re-
search area consists of 14 rows
that are 50 feet long and hold
about 25 species each year. Te
show garden holds about 70
species of medicinal plants, ac-
cording to the its website.
Bosnak was involved in a
small group that developed the
themes for the show garden.
She also worked on the overall
layout.
Tere are seven themes in
the show garden, Bosnak said.
Tey include three native
mints, culinary plants, Euro-
pean medicinal plants, plants
that have been in the U.S.
Pharmacopeia and National
Formulary, plants in the genus
Echinacea, milkweed plants
and the last one is native plants
traditionally used as food.
Te Native Medicinal Plant
Research Garden is also home
to the KU Student Farm. Here,
University students, faculty
and staf grow their own veg-
etables.
Once the funding of the gar-
den fully covered research,
Kindscher said they were able
to open the garden to stu-
dent-run projects, allowing
students to be a part of the Stu-
dent Farm and use their own
plots to work on projects in
subjects from journalism and
design to engineering and even
fne arts.
Te Native Medicinal Plant
Research Garden has beneft-
ed research for the University
through the conservation and
harvest of medicinal plants, as
well as giving students and vis-
itors the opportunity to further
their education toward ecolog-
ical responsibility.

Te Kansan recently talk-
ed to Aaron Carter about
his Wonderful World
Tour and upcoming show
at the Granada on Oct. 10.
Carter became a pop sen-
sation at the age of 10, and
has released several suc-
cessful albums, including
Aarons Party, which went
triple platinum. Over the
course of his career, he has
played millions of shows,
had numerous television
appearances and was a con-
testant on the ninth season
of Dancing with the Stars.
Carter is playing at more
than 80 locations on his tour
to promote his new music.
His single Ooh Wee will be
released Oct. 14, and a new
album will follow soon afer.
KANSAN: How does this tour
compare to previous tours?
AARON CARTER: Tey are
kind of similar. My mom
put together my shows back
in the day. I use the same
formula for my shows as she
used when I was growing
up.

KANSAN: Do you have any
goals for this tour?
AARON CARTER: Oh abso-
lutely. Te goal is to promote
my new music. A lot of peo-
ple want to see me based on
the nostalgic stuf. Tat was
half of my life ago. I have
grown up. Tere have been
a lot of things that have hin-
dered me from doing what
I want to do in the music
industry because of things
I had no control over when
I was younger. I have fnally
been able to get back on my
feet. For me, it is all about
progressing and moving
forward.

KANSAN: What has been
your favorite show or music
venue to play so far?
AARON CARTER: It changes
all the time. Each place has
its own meaning, its own
culture, its own character. I
love each place I perform.

KANSAN: What should fans
expect from your show?
AARON CARTER: Tey can
expect high energy, a cou-
ple of the old songs and a
lot of new music. I am not
a throwback show. I respect
people coming to see me
who want to pretend Im
still 12 years old, but now it
is time to move forward and
focus on my new music.

KANSAN: What is your fa-
vorite aspect of performing?
AARON CARTER: Te interac-
tion I have with my fans and
seeing their faces. I perform
for the attention of the fans,
straight up. Te gratifcation
I get out of performing is all
about making people happy.
KANSAN: How does it feel
to sing your huge hits, like
Aarons Party, now that you
are older?
AARON CARTER: Its cool. I
love it. I sold thousands of
records with those songs
and played thousands of
shows. I am very proud of
my work.

KANSAN: Who is your favor-
ite musician, and how has
their music infuenced your
career?
AARON CARTER: My favorite
musician is Wiz Khalifa be-
cause he is totally real with
all of his music. He embodies
someone who can be who he
is without caring about what
people think. Tat is how I
am going about it. I dont
care what people think. Im
not going to pretend to be
somebody Im not.
KANSAN: How has your mu-
sic and career matured since
your days as a teenager and
your older albums?
AARON CARTER: I have de-
veloped into a pretty good
singer, I would say. Te
topics of my music have
matured. I get to be a little
bit more provocative now,
although I still have a lot of
younger fans.

KANSAN: What are your fa-
vorite things to do on tour
when you are not perform-
ing?
AARON CARTER: I love to
make beats. Its one of my
favorite things to do. I also
do vocal warm-ups. Its all
about the music to me. Ev-
erything that I am embark-
ing on, everything in my life
is about music.

Biden to star in ads
against sexual assault
WASHINGTON Vice Pres-
ident Joe Biden is teaming up
with Law & Order star Maris-
ka Hargitay to do television ads
raising awareness about domes-
tic violence.
NBC Universal says the public
service announcements featur-
ing Biden and Hargitay will ap-
pear on its USA Network on Oct.
19 during a 14-hour marathon
of Law & Order episodes. The
marathon is being dubbed No
More Excuses and the ads will
encourage people to get involved
in efforts to stop domestic vio-
lence and sexual assault.
Hargitay directed the ads,
which will include dozens of other
public gures.
Biden has long been an ad-
vocate for curbing domestic
violence in the U.S., including
through the Violence Against
Women Act. He and Hargitay pre-
viously joined forces last October
when they toured a domestic vi-
olence hotline operation together
in Texas.

Students detail work experience at haunted house
RYAN WRIGHT
@ryanwrightUDK
Leah Albee takes pride in
her ability to scare people. As
Halloween approaches and
haunted houses prepare for
annual shows, Albee looks
forward to using her lifelong
experience with acting to help
her professionally scare peo-
ple.
Getting a reaction from an
audience is the main objective
as an actor, you want to elicit
an emotional response, Al-
bee said. One such response
is fear.
Albee, a sophomore politi-
cal science major, and Elena
Cleaves, a junior journalism
major, are both from Lan-
sing and worked as actresses
for the Halloween Haunt at
Worlds of Fun last October.
Te Halloween Haunt is an
annual event which features
many Halloween themed at-
tractions, one of which is an
asylum, where Cleaves and
Albee worked. Both got in-
volved with the Halloween
Haunt the same way: they
were friends with a director
who needed volunteers to
perform in the attraction.
It can be really intense, Al-
bee said. Its incredibly fun,
you get to really develop a
character any way you want
to, your makeup is always cra-
zy fun, and you get to interact
with people and you try to get
a rise out of them. Its really
empowering.
She said in a haunted house
setting, the attendees are al-
ready paranoid and super
high-strung so its easy to hide
behind a corner and scream
in their face when they come
around. While getting a good
scare is super satisfying,
Albee said the work can also
be very tiresome, especially
when the attendees are rowdy
or are too good to be scared.
Te latter is especially an-
noying. Why even bother go-
ing to a haunted house if all
you want to do is act superi-
or? Albee said. It makes the
performers really uncomfort-
able.
Albee has been acting her en-
tire life and was very involved
with theatre growing up. She
has performed in numerous
plays such as Camelot, Te
Drowsy Chaperone and Te
Vagina Monologues. With her
love of acting, she naturally
found the Halloween Haunt
enjoyable.
Cleaves performed in a few
high school musicals but
never took acting very seri-
ously. Despite this, she found
pleasure in working at Hal-
loween Haunt, even though
she said there were a few in-
stances that were less enjoy-
able. Cleaves said performers
have been choked and had
items such as bottles thrown
at them. Its fun to scare, but
some teenagers can be night-
mares, she said.
Albee still enjoys perform-
ing when she gets the chance.
Cleaves enjoyed performing
at the Halloween Haunt and
hopes to perform again this
year.
It was an eye-opening expe-
rience, Cleaves said. I dont
go to many haunted houses
because I get scared easily,
but it was incredible being
on the other side. I was able
to see the ridiculous amounts
of time and efort that go into
it, and how much it means to
the actors who do it full time.
I enjoyed being able to scare
people and give them their
moneys worth.

Afer a four-year hiatus, Pi
Kappa Alpha is returning to the
University of Kansas this year
with high expectations. PIKE
was a University fraternity until
2010, when it surrendered its
charter in cooperation with the
University.
Te chapter simply wasnt
getting enough membership
or involvement before, said
Zach Ryan, PIKE professional
expansion consultant. Since
then, PIKE Headquarters have
been working closely with the
University to be able to come
back and start fresh and strong
afer a four-year break.
Ryan and Trey Gibeault, an-
other professional expansion
consultant, travel to campus-
es around the country where
PIKE colonies are being started
and recruit the men who will
eventually become the found-
ing fathers of that chapter.
Teyve been at the University
working on recruitment since
Sept. 5.
Our recruitment is based
solely on recommendations
we get from staf, varsity
coaches, campus leaders and
other members of Greek life,
Gibeault said. Once we get
those recommendations, we
individually interview the men
about membership within the
organization.
Ryan and Gibeault received
hundreds of recommendations,
but were able to be selective
and choose new members who
were excited to be PIKE found-
ing fathers.
I was really drawn to the op-
portunity of playing a hand in
building a Greek organization
the right way, said Macaeb
Swenson, a sophomore from
Lakeville, Minn. Im excited
to see how this fraternity grows
both outward and inward in the
coming years, and cant wait to
get involved and make waves
both at KU and in Lawrence.
Mike Davis, the senior vice
president of donor relations
for the KU Alumni Association
and a KU PIKE alumni, said
there has been a large alumni
push to bring a PIKE chapter
back to the University.
We have a great group of
PIKE alumni in the area from
many diferent schools, Davis
said. Weve all been passionate
and energetic about bringing
the PIKEs back to KU.
PIKEs hiatus may seem un-
orthodox, but its quite com-
mon for fraternities to leave
campus and come back a few
years later.
Most recently, Alpha Tau
Omega lef campus for a num-
ber of years and was rechar-
tered in Spring 2012, said
Dustin Struble, assistant direc-
tor of Greek Life in the Student
Involvement and Leadership
Center. Similar to PIKE, ATOs
founding fathers were recruited
by leadership consultants from
the National Headquarters.
As PIKE returns from its four-
year break, some have won-
dered if theres enough interest
in Greek life for PIKE to fnd
the members theyre looking
for. Struble believes there is.
Te Greek Life Expansion
Committee was created to
evaluate the current state of
the Greek community and de-
termine the need for expan-
sion, Struble said. Afer PIKE
ofcials presented to the Ex-
pansion Committee why they
believed they should be invited
to expand to campus, the Com-
mittee voted in favor of bring-
ing them to KU in Fall 2014.
On Oct. 9, the chapter will
hold Meet Te Pikes Night,
where anyone whos interest-
ed can meet the newest mem-
bers of Pi Kappa Alpha. Ryan
and Gibeault hope to have 100
members and be a fully func-
tioning fraternity complete
with a functioning executive
board and alumni advisory
board by that time.

WICHITA Following
Mondays unexpected Su-
preme Court decision not to
hear appeals over gay mar-
riage, Julia and Regina John-
son went to the Reno County
Clerks ofce to apply for a
marriage license.
Afer 16 years and six kids, it
was time. Tey watched as the
clerk scratched out the word
man, explaining that new
forms had not yet been print-
ed yet.
But the Johnsons live in Kan-
sas, one of several conserva-
tive-leaning states seemingly
bound by the high courts
decision where ofcials are
taking a stand and refusing
to issue marriage licenses to
same-sex couples. Hours afer
theyd submitted their paper-
work, they got a call from the
clerk saying their application
had been denied.
It was wow it sounds
surreal, Julia Johnson said. It
was actually surreal for us.
Reno County Chief Judge
Patricia Macke Dick later
said she had no choice but
to deny their license because
Kansas same-sex marriage
ban, specifcally, had not been
overturned. Te only related
lawsuit now in Kansas courts
is one fled by two couples
who married in other states
and sued Kansas over tax
treatment. Teir case is being
heard next month.
Kansas Attorney General
Derek Schmidt noted that, to
date, no court has squarely
decided whether the Kansas
Constitutions prohibition of
same-sex marriage is inval-
id and that the state will deal
with any litigation when it
comes. Wyoming and South
Carolina are taking similar
stands.
Te people have spoken on
this, said Kansas Republican
governor, Sam Brownback,
who is fghting a close re-elec-
tion battle in which he needs
conservative support.
I dont know how much
more you can bolster it than
to have a vote of the people
to put in the constitution that
marriage is the union of a man
and a woman, he said.
Wyomings Republican gov-
ernor, Matt Mead, said the
state will defend its constitu-
tions defnition of marriage
as permissible only between
a man and woman. He said
he doesnt think the Supreme
Courts action this week ap-
plies to a Wyoming case chal-
lenging that defnition, which
is set for a hearing in Decem-
ber.
An attorney for gay rights
group Wyoming Equality,
which is one of the plaintifs,
took issue with Meads com-
ment that the Supreme Court
action had no impact on the
state case.
At the end of the day, the
10th Circuits ruling is now
the law in Wyoming, which
means that same-sex couples
now have the fundamental
right to get married in Wyo-
ming and the governor and
the AGs ofce are trying to
interfere with that right, said
attorney James Lyman.
Conservative states balk
at gay marriage action

New Somali language
offering growing slowly

@mark_arce13
Tree days a week, Andrew
Keehn heads to Bailey Hall to
learn Somali, but due to low
enrollment, he doesnt go to a
classroom. He goes to lecturer
Abdifatah Shafats Bailey Hall
ofce.
While he likes small class
sizes, he wishes he wasnt the
only student.
Maybe a couple more, said
Keehn, a graduate student
from Topeka, of his ideal class
size. Just so I could practice
more.
Elizabeth MacGonagle, the
Kansas African Studies Center
director, said the Somali lan-
guage course was created to
respond to a growing Soma-
li-speaking population in the
state of Kansas and beyond.
BACKGROUND
While Somalis have been
coming to the United States
since the 1920s, the majori-
ty of Somali-speakers came
as refugees during the early
1990s due to a civil war in the
country of Somalia, according
to Diana Briton Putmans Te
Somalis: Teir History and
Culture.
Te Kansas African Stud-
ies Center states there are an
estimated 17-19 million So-
mali speakers worldwide. In
southwest Kansas, there is a
growing Somali population
located in Garden City, Liberal
and Dodge City. In the Kansas
City metro area, there is a So-
mali-speaking population of
approximately 5,000. Recog-
nizing this change in the state
and worldwide, the University
started ofering the Somali
language program this past
summer as a way for students
to seize on social and econom-
ic opportunities.
Somali was one of three lan-
guages ofered at KUs African
Summer Institute, which is
sponsored by the Department
of African and African-Amer-
ican Studies and the Kansas
African Studies Center. While
students enrolled in Kiswahili
and Arabic, no one enrolled in
Somali.
MacGonagle said this was
due to a tight timeline to try
to advertise and recruit stu-
dents for Somali. As a result,
potential students either had
other summer plans or lacked
funding to attend. Despite this
setback, the Studies Center
looked toward the future.
We were persistent and kept
at it and now we have one stu-
dent enrolled right now, Mac-
Gonagle said.
CHALLENGES
Even though there might be
a need for Somali-speakers, a
lack of student interest so far
stems from a variety of factors.
Among them is competition
with other language oferings.
Somali is referred to as a less
commonly taught language, or
LCTL. According to the Na-
tional Council of Less Com-
monly Taught Languages,
LCTLs are all languages be-
sides English, German, French
and Spanish.
Tis means students arent
usually taught Somali in their
K-12 education and few uni-
versities ofer language cours-
es in it. Te University is one
of only a handful of universi-
ties that ofers Somali, which
is one of the Universitys 40
language oferings.
Afer graduating from Wash-
burn University, the main
reason Keehn came to the
University was because of the
language program.
KU is the only Midwestern
school that teaches it, Keehn
said. So I thought Id take ad-
vantage.
Te Kansas African Studies
Center, which among other
things promotes the under-
standing wand study of Af-
rica, is looking to fnd more
students like Keehn and is also
interacting with the Soma-
li-speaking community.
OUTREACH
Te Center is working with
local communities and has
conducted mini Somali work-
shops for some of the public
schools in Kansas City.
Really its cultural aware-
ness, Shafat said, who con-
ducts the workshops. He said
the workshops are bridging
the gap between Soma-
li-speakers and others in the
community. Shafat and the at-
tendants talk about everything
from Somali cultural norms
to pronunciations of Somali
names.
Shafat will continue the
workshops during the se-
mester, and the Center may
conduct workshops in other
areas of the state. Te Center
is also working on campus to
increase awareness and the
number of students in the So-
mali program.
Peter Ojiambo, a language
coordinator with the Center,
said that consistent outreach to
the community, working with
departments at the school and
relating students areas of study
to Somali language, as well as
its other benefts, are principal
ways to increase enrollment.
Te Center also ofers For-
eign Language Area Studies,
or FLAS Fellowships. Te De-
partment of Education awards
these funds to Area Studies
Centers, such as the Kansas
African Studies Center. Tey
are awarded to University and
non-University students who
are pursuing foreign languages
for professional purposes.
Te Center will also be
working with the Universitys
recently announced School of
Language, Literatures & Cul-
tures to promote the study of
Somali and other African lan-
guages.
Despite the scholarships and
other methods to help increase
enrollment, Ojiambo admits
growing the Somali language
program, as well as the other
languages the Kansas African
Studies Center helps to pro-
mote, is a work in progress.
Te trick is you have to be
hopeful, Ojiambo said.
MacGonagle shares Ojiam-
bos optimism and is confdent
the program will see growth in
time.
Te Center and the De-
partment of African and Af-
rican-American studies will
again ofer Somali as a part of
the Institute this summer.
While the Center and the de-
partment are working to grow
the Somali program, Keehn
is working to perfect the lan-
guage. He studies Somali most
days with hopes of pursuing
a career in areas such as f-
nance, banking or securities
and those jobs would be more
attainable for him if he knows
Somali.
Keehn is still deciding on the
focus of his graduate degree,
but will most likely be interna-
tional afairs or international
business in the Middle East
and Africa.
Shafat, originally from So-
malia, loves teaching the
language, in part because
of Keehns determination to
learn it.
Te student I have is very
motivated, Shafat said, and
that motivates me even more.

Davis promises to undo
Kansas Medicaid change
TOPEKA Democratic chal-
lenger Paul Davis on Wednesday
proposed reversing part of Re-
publican Gov. Sam Brownbacks
overhaul of the Kansas Medic-
aid program, appealing to vocal
advocates for the disabled in
a political race that remains a
toss-up.
Davis said during a State-
house news conference that if
he defeats Brownback, hell end
three private health insurance
companies oversight of in-home
support services for about 8,500
developmentally disabled Kan-
sans. The firms oversight is part
of the insurers management
of the states $3 billion-a-year
Medicaid program, which covers
medical and in-home services for
the poor and disabled.
Brownbacks administration
contracted with the companies
to manage Medicaid starting last
year and says privatization led to
better-coordinated care for the
programs 363,000 participants,
at less cost to the state. But
advocates for the developmen-
tally disabled argued that the
change represented unnecessary
additional level of bureaucracy in
securing services.
The administration didnt ini-
tially include support services
for the developmentally disabled
in the overhauled program, now
called KanCare, until February
2014, due to the vocal protests.
And now, some families and
advocates remain upset about
KanCare as independent polls
show the race between Davis and
Brownback close or a dead heat.

Study: Voter ID laws cut
turnout of blacks, youth
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON States
that toughened their voter
identifcation laws saw steep-
er drops in election turnout
than those that did not, with
disproportionate fallofs
among black and younger
voters, a nonpartisan con-
gressional study released
Wednesday concluded.
As of June, 33 states have en-
acted laws obligating voters to
show a photo ID at the polls,
the study said. Republicans
who have pushed the legisla-
tion say the requirement will
reduce fraud, but Democrats
insist the laws are a GOP ef-
fort to reduce Democratic
turnout on Election Day.
Te report by the Govern-
ment Accountability Ofce,
Congress investigative agen-
cy, was released less than a
month from elections that
will determine which party
controls Congress.
Te ofce compared elec-
tion turnout in Kansas and
Tennessee which tight-
ened voter ID requirements
between the 2008 and 2012
elections to voting in four
states that didnt change their
identifcation requirements.
It estimated that reductions
in voter turnout were about 2
percent greater in Kansas and
from 2 to 3 percent steeper
in Tennessee than they were
in the other states examined.
Te four other states, which
did not make their voter ID
laws stricter, were Alabama,
Arkansas, Delaware, and
Maine.
GAOs analysis suggests
that the turnout decreases in
Kansas and Tennessee beyond
decreases in the comparison
states were attributable to
changes in those two states
voter ID requirements, the
report said.
Te study cautioned that the
results from Kansas and Ten-
nessee dont necessarily apply
to other states with stricter ID
laws. It also found that of 10
other studies that mostly fo-
cused on voting before 2008,
fve found no signifcant
impact from voter ID laws,
four found decreases and one
found an increase.
Te report said that in Kan-
sas and Tennessee, reduced
voter turnout was sharper
among people aged 18 to
23 than among those from
44 to 53. Te drop was also
more pronounced among
blacks than whites, Hispan-
ics or Asians and was greater
among newly registered vot-
ers than those registered at
least 20 years.
Estimated fallof among
black voters was nearly 4
percent greater than it was
among whites in Kansas,
and almost 2 percent larger
among blacks than for whites
in Tennessee, the report said.
Young people and blacks
generally tend to support
Democratic candidates.
A group of Democratic
senators including Judiciary
Committee Chairman Patrick
Leahy, D-Vt., and Vermont
independent Sen. Bernard
Sanders requested the study
and said Wednesday that it
confrmed their arguments
and reafrmed the need to
pass legislation making it
harder to curb voting.
Tis study confrms the
real impact of Republican ef-
forts to limit access to the bal-
lot box. Playing politics with
the right to vote is a shame-
ful practice, said Sen. Chuck
Schumer, D-N.Y.
Republican ofcials did not
immediately provide com-
ments when they were asked
for reaction by email.

This study conrms the

real impact of Republican
efforts to limit access to
the ballot box.

LATE NIGHT
RICH TRADITION
HAS BECOME SELLING
POINT FOR RECRUITS
IN THE PHOG
W
ith the football season not even halfway
over, two other teams at Kansas take
center stage this weekend.
Late Night in the Phog, the kickoff to the mens and
womens basketball seasons, is this Friday at 6:30 p.m.
in Allen Fieldhouse.
Late Nights always big, mens basketball coach Bill
Self said last week. I cant talk about specific recruits,
but its not only big from a recruiting standpoint, its
big from our players standpoint. A lot of our players
that we signed come to Late Night and then thats
something that they always look forward to, would
be being a part of this.
The annual event, which is in its 30th year, is usually
talked about in terms of recruiting, but its also a
celebration for both players and fans. Freshman
guard Kelly Oubre visited last year during Late Night
and is excited to be a part of it this year.
Im looking forward to the season, Oubre said.
Im looking forward to Late Night. Im looking
forward to the fans being in the stands.
He said he remembers what it was like last year with
the excitement in the air and said it was a big factor
in why he chose to play at Kansas.
I believe it was Late Night in the Phog when I got
here and I felt the atmosphere and saw all the fans
camping out outside, and I just saw what the guys
did on a daily basis, and I just wanted to be a part of
that, Oubre said.
The event is filled with skits and dancing, and there
is also a basketball scrimmage at the end for the
mens and womens teams.
Sophomore guard Wayne Selden is excited for
Late Night not just because of the theatrics and
atmosphere, but also because it means the season is
starting. He said he is looking forward to playing and
competing.
The event is free and does not require a ticket. Fans
who attended last year, or wanted to, know there
were some problems that led to people being turned
away at the door. In response, Kansas Athletics has
changed up the entrance procedures.
It will still be a first-come, first-serve policy, but
doors will open at 3 p.m. When Allen Fieldhouse is
full, the doors will be closed. If there is already a big
crowd waiting, the doors might be opened before 3
p.m.
Also different this year, students will enter through
the northeast door, just like during basketball games.
Kansas Athletics will communicate with fans at
Allen Fieldhouse during the day through social
media and traditional media. More Public Safety
officials will also be around the arena compared to
last season.
Late Night in the Phog will last roughly three hours.
When asked what talents he would bring to Late
Night, Oubre alluded to his dancing skills.
Just my all-around game, Oubre said. I mean
dancing, thats definitely part of Late Night, my all-
around game. Im definitely ready to get out and play
with my brothers.

High-prole recruits
to attend Late Night
Every October, just as the
football schedule reaches
conference play and the hype
of basketball season reaches
its breaking point, it is time for
Late Night in the Phog.
On top of introducing the
basketball team and listening
to speeches from coach Bill
Self and other members of
Kansas athletic coaching
stafs, this is a night that is
heavily used for recruiting.
Its a time for recruits to
come in and get a feel for
Jayhawk tradition. Tey get
to meet all the current players
and coaching staf, and they
can hear the roar of the Allen
Fieldhouse crowd.
Late Night has been a
selling point for recruits in
the past and is something that
Self always stresses during
recruiting.
I was hooked right afer
Late Night, said freshman
guard Kelly Oubre Jr. Its
a great time to learn the
traditions and what it means
to be a Jayhawk.
Tis year, six total 2015
recruits will reportedly be in
attendance, fve of whom are
among the top 20 recruits
in the 2015 class according
to Rivals.com. Additionally,
seven 2016 recruits and two
2017 recruits are expected to
attend.
JAYLEN BROWN, NO. 2, 6-7,
200, MARIETTA, GA.
Brown still has 15 schools
on his list, including Kansas,
Kentucky, Florida State and
Arizona. Brown has been
called a strong wing with a
decent shot that is improving.
STEPHEN ZIMMERMAN, NO. 10,
7-0, 241, LAS VEGAS, NEV.
Zimmerman has Kansas,
Kentucky, UCLA, Arizona,
Indiana, Louisville, North
Carolina and UNLV on his
list. Zimmerman is a 7-footer
with the ability to step back
for a midrange shot. His size
and ofensive fundamentals
bode well for a Bill Self high-
low ofense.

CARLTON BRAGG, NO. 14, 6-9,
225, CLEVELAND, OHIO
Bragg has a short, fve-
team list made up of Kansas,
Kentucky, Arizona, Illinois
and UCLA. Bragg is one
of the better athletes in the
class, who has the ability to
grab rebounds and attack
the basket similarly to Clif
Alexander.
BRANDON INGRAM, NO. 18, 6-8,
180, KINSTON, N.C.
Ingram has a six-school list
made up of Kansas, Duke,
Kentucky, North Carolina,
NC State and UCLA. Ingram
is one of the better shooters
in the Top 20, with great
ability to knock down shots in
transition.
TYLER DORSEY, NO. 19, 6-4,
180, PASADENA, CALIF.
Dorsey has 10 schools still
on his radar including Kansas,
Colorado, Connecticut and
Georgetown. Dorsey is a
plus-sized guard whose play
in the open court has been
compared to John Wall due to
his quickness.

MARCUS LOVETT, NO. 90, 5-11,
165, CHICAGO, ILL.
LoVett has fve schools on
his list as well. Tose schools
are Kansas, Indiana, Michigan
State, Marquette and UCLA.
He is a lef-handed point
guard with a consistent
jumper.
All of these players will
be in the Fieldhouse Friday,
watching the classes do their
dance routines, learning
Jayhawk traditions and
eventually watching the intra-
squad scrimmage. If these
new recruits are as inspired
as Oubre Jr. and many others
before him were, then it could
be these recruits passing down
the torch of Jayhawk tradition
next year.

Kansas City Royals Eric Hosmer, right, chest bumps with Alex Gordon as Gordon celebrates his two-run home
run in the 11th inning against the Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim, Calif., on Oct. 3. The Royals playoff schedule
coincides with both Late Night in the Phog and a Kansas football game this weekend.
Jayhawks vs. Royals: The
battle for fans attention
Students are facing a
dilemma they likely havent
experienced before.
On Friday, the University of
Kansas will host Late Night in
the Phog, an annual kick-of
event to Kansas basketball.
But with the Kansas City
Royals playing their frst
game of the American League
Championship Series the same
day and time, many students
are facing the difcult decision
of whether to go to Late Night
or be near a television to watch
the Royals play.
Ive been both a Royals
fan and a Jayhawks fan my
whole life, said Paul Wade, a
junior from Lawrence. But
on Friday, Ill be watching the
Royals because its something
thats happened once in 29
years versus what feels like 100
years of Kansas dominance.
A big problem for those
wanting to both go to Late
Night and keep up with the
Royals game is the notorious
cellphone service in Allen
Fieldhouse. With some
students unable to check scores
and receive updates reliably, it
seems that staying home might
be the safer option for those
looking to follow along with
both. However, some students,
like Conor McReynolds, still
feel that experiencing Late
Night in person is well worth
the risk of missing some, or all,
of the Royals game.
Ever since I was little, my
grandfather would take me to
Late Night in the Phog, said
McReynolds, a sophomore
from Overland Park. So Ill
try to follow the Royals game
on my phone, because I dont
want to stop the tradition of
going to Late Night.
Unfortunately for Royals fans
at the University, conficting
schedules continue the very
next day. Te frst pitch for
Game 2 of the ALCS will be
thrown at approximately 3:07
p.m., just minutes afer Kansas
begins its football game against
Oklahoma State. However,
with the No. 16 Cowboys
heavily favored, some students
see this as less of an issue.
I would defnitely rather
watch the Royals over our
football team, especially
considering that were probably
going to lose, said Luke
Schletzbaum, a sophomore
from Overland Park. Its not
much of an issue at all.
Attendance has been a
problem for the football team
this year. Kansas drew 36,574
fans for its opening game,
making it the worst-attended
Kansas football season opener
in the last 10 years, according
to Te Wichita Eagle.
But some students arent
ready to give up on the football
team just yet.
Ive been going to KU
football games since 2004,
said Ken Beck, a sophomore
from Salina. It would feel
weird not going to games,
almost like I was a fair-weather
fan if I gave up on them this
early in the year.
Regardless of what students
choose to participate in,
theres no denying this is an
exciting time for sports fans
in Lawrence and Kansas City.
What hasnt been mentioned
is that there is also a home
Sporting Kansas City soccer
game on Friday, another
sporting event that factors into
some fans viewing decisions.
Either way, fans will have
plenty to watch this weekend,
and plenty of tough decisions
to make.

Commentary: Late Night
needs a lottery system
By Jeffrey Kaplan
@JKap22
Late Night in the Phog is
undoubtedly one of the most
anticipated events during the
year at the University. Fans
come from near and far to
support Kansas Athletics at
the free event to get a glimpse
of the basketball team.
But with the appeal of the
event being free, there comes
a major downfall, something
evident from last years Late
Night at the Phog.
Multiple fans waited in
line the entire day, but still
didnt get a chance to step
foot in the building. Te mad
rush of people to get in the
Fieldhouse was complete
pandemonium. Tere was no
crowd control or organization
outside of the Fieldhouse
to prevent the madness.
People were pushed aside,
disregarding the safety of
others as they stampeded into
the building.
Afer this experience,
Athletics had to fgure
something out to keep this
problem from happening
again.
Currently, the plan is to
open the Fieldhouse doors
at 3 p.m., with the event
starting at 6:30 p.m. While
this somewhat diminishes
the waiting time outside the
building, it still does nothing
to actually control the
number of people who will be
waiting to get into the event.
More safety personnel will be
on hand, but will it be enough
to control the potential mob?
Te more-than capacity
crowd includes people who
skip work, students who skip
class, and groups that camp
overnight. Everyone who
goes through this trouble,
and understandably so, wants
to be guaranteed into the
building.
But the fact of the matter is
that the system is still fawed.
Because this event has grown
in popularity in recent years
with the added incentive
that it is free there are
going to be thousands of
people waiting outside. A
noteworthy percentage of
those people wont get in afer
waiting countless hours.
An idea that Athletics
should consider is an online
lottery system that gives fans
the opportunity to enter
their names for a chance to
attend the event, similar to
the method Kansas Athletics
uses for students to redeem
their mens basketball tickets
online. Athletics would then
select a set number of fans
randomly to be chosen to

THE MORNING BREW
Controversy surrounds 2015 Womens World Cup in Canada
QUOTE OF THE DAY
T
he 2015 Womens World Cup
will take place in Canada next
summer, but not if it is up to
a group of prominent players who are
supposed to be playing in 2015.
Led by U.S. national team forward
Abby Wambach, this group of players
fled a lawsuit against FIFA citing
discrimination for planning to hold the
2015 Womens World Cup on artifcial
turf felds.
Te lawsuit was ofcially fled last
Wednesday by the lawyer representing
a group of players that includes U.S
forwards Abby Wambach and Alex
Morgan, as well as German goalkeeper
Nadine Angerer. Tese players said
they feel that FIFA has identifed them
as second-class athletes. While the
mens World Cup builds brand new
stadiums, women are fghting to play
on a surface they fnd acceptable.
Te players feel discriminated against
by FIFA because mens competitions
are never played on artifcial surfaces,
but the largest competition in womens
soccer will force the teams to play on
turf. For mens international competi-
tions, grass is installed in stadiums that
have turf felds. Tere has never been
an international mens soccer match
played on artifcial turf.
Some players have spoken out about
the issue. U.S. national team forward
Sydney Leroux posted a photo of her
turf-burned legs, claiming that FIFAs
decision was a gender equality issue.
Te photo drew support from Kobe
Bryant and Kevin Durant.
Whether professional soccer should
be played on artifcial turf at all is a
separate debate, but players dislike
turf because the fat surface causes
knee and ankle injuries and is hard to
slide on. Tierry Henry, a legendary
forward for the New York Red Bulls,
refuses to play on turf felds altogether
because at the age of 37, he risks a
career-ending injury.
Five of the six stadiums set to host
the World Cup competition use artif-
cial turf. Te players fling the lawsuit
suggest games move to venues that use
natural grass, like BMO Field in To-
ronto or Saputo Stadium in Montreal,
which each can seat around 25,000.
Te fve stadiums that use artifcial turf
all have capacities of at least 40,000.
Tis causes a problem for FIFA and
the Canadian Soccer Association since
the stadium being used for the most
important games should accommodate
more people.
FIFAs role as a governing body of
soccer has not been completely clear in
recent years. Allegations of accepting
bribes to hold the 2022 World Cup in
Qatar have tainted its image. Tere is
uncertainty as to whether FIFA has a
responsibility to rid the game of crime,
like game manipulation and betting
fraud, and corruptly-governed host
countries. As for this issue, it is directly
FIFAs responsibility to correctly ad-
minister soccer in all countries for all
ages and genders.
Tis lawsuit could make postpone-
ment or relocation of the womens
World Cup in the realm of possibility.
Most of the worlds top players and
countries have shown support for this
groups cause.

attend.
Tis idea would prevent
people from getting turned
away at the doors like previous
years. Tis idea would prevent
individuals from driving for
hours only to get rejected at
the doors. Tis idea would
prevent someone from being
shoved to the ground by
someone wanting to get in.
Overall, it would decrease the
many frustrations that come
with attending the event.
A select number of the seats
can be guaranteed for students,
so most of the students who
want to attend will have the
opportunity to do so. Te rest
of the tickets will be available
to the general public.
Tis system isnt without its
faws. People will undoubtedly
get upset if they are not one
of the individuals selected to
the lottery. Die-hards who
plan their lives around Kansas
basketball ones that were
willing to camp out all night or
miss work will feel they are
being cheated.
However, thats going to
happen no matter what. A
Kansas basketball fanatic who
attends class or works all day
may not be able to get into the
building because of the long
line of people in front of them
who neglected their class or
work responsibilities.
With the lottery system,
it would eliminate students
skipping class, adults skipping
work, and groups camping
overnight. Late Night in
the Phog is meant to be a
family-friendly event for the
Kansas community. But herds
of individuals barging their
way into the building is the
opposite of that.
Even if Athletics doesnt
consider ideas like this one, it
should consistently be looking
into ideas that improve the
fans experience, which starts
with getting them into the
building. And doing so safely.

5 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE SATURDAY
KIRSTEN PETERSON
@KeepUpWithKP
1. A LOSS WOULD DEVASTATE
THE COWBOYS
Te Cowboys are the ob-
vious pick to win Saturdays
game. Since 2009, they are
18-7 on the road. Te Cow-
boys defeated the Jayhawks
42-6 at home last season.
With a Cowboys loss, it would
break their four-game win
streak over Kansas that dates
back to 2007 and it would
be the Cowboys ffh loss to
an unranked opponent since
2010. However, if the Cow-
boys won, it would be their
sixth-straight win over the
Jayhawks in Lawrence. Kan-
sas hasnt defeated Oklahoma
State at home since 1994. If
the Jayhawks lost, it would
be their 15th straight loss to a
ranked opponent.
2. OKLAHOMA STATES DEFENSE
STANDS STRONG
Within fve games, oppos-
ing ofenses have made it to
the red zone 18 times, but
only seven trips converted
into touchdowns against the
Cowboys defense. Oklahoma
States defense leads the Big 12
and ranks 10th overall in the
country in red zone defense.
Oklahoma State defensive line
coach Joe Bob Clements has
led the defensive line to 17.5
tackles for loss and 9.5 sacks
so far this season. Oklahoma
States defense ranks 24th na-
tionally in sacks, averaging
three per game.
3. NO DECISION MADE ON KU
STARTING QUARTERBACK
Kansas interim coach Clint
Bowen said Tuesday that the
quarterbacks would have to
fght for the starting spot.
Sophomore Montell Cozart,
junior Michael Cummings
and sophomore T.J. Millweard
all have a chance to prove
their leadership to Bowen.
Well see which ones are han-
dling the parts of the ofense
that they can control and are
best at making the decisions
that need to be made, Bowen
told cjonline.com. Toward
the end of the week well make
a decision on whos going to
play, if not all three of them.
4. COWBOYS PUTTING UP
POINTS OUTSIDE OF OFFENSE
Te Cowboys have scored
27 non-ofensive touchdowns
since the 2010 season. Te
Cowboys have scored two
non-ofensive touchdowns so
far this season. Since 2010,
OSU has scored two against
Kansas . In 2010, Michael
Harrison had a fve-yard
blocked punt return in Law-
rence and in 2013, Justin Gil-
bert had a 100-yard kickof
return in Stillwater.
5. OKLAHOMA STATES OFFENSE
PLAYING ABOVE KANSAS
OFFENSE
Te Cowboys average 286.6
yards passing and 163.2 yards
rushing, for a total of 449.8
yards per game. Oklahoma
State ranks ffh in the Big 12
with 39.2 points per game.
Kansas ofense averages 322.4
yards per game and only man-
aged 176 total yards against
West Virginia last Saturday,
the fewest since 2011. Cow-
boys receiver Jhajuan Seales,
one of four Cowboys with
at least 229 receiving yards,
acknowledges that the strug-
gling Jayhawks are going to
give it their all in Saturdays
game. Tey have their backs
against the wall, so they are
going to give it everything
they got to go out and get a
win, Seales told espn.com.

QB questions could mean trouble for Kansas
Afer being pulled at half-
time in the 33-14 loss to West
Virginia, sophomore quarter-
back Montell Cozart didnt
work with the frst-team of-
fense this week in practice.
Cozart said the quarterback
competition was even this
week, though all three quar-
terbacks, red-shirt junior Mi-
chael Cummings, red-shirt
sophomore T.J. Millweard and
Cozart, split the frst-team
reps evenly.
Me, Mike [Cummings] and
T.J. [Millweard], weve been
going into practice every-
day competing, Cozart said.
Yesterday, Mike went frst
and took the frst reps, then
I came in afer and T.J. afer
me. Weve been splitting it up
pretty even, and were pretty
even.
With all three quarterbacks
taking frst-team reps this
week in practice and interim
coach Clint Bowen saying that
all the positions will be open
this past week in practice, you
can expect to see diferent fac-
es in positions including the
quarterback position as Kan-
sas (2-4, 0-2) faces the No.16
Oklahoma State Cowboys (4-
1, 2-0) in Lawrence.
Other guys get pulled all
the time, but [the media] dont
write about it, Bowen said.
Te pressure of the com-
petition will be good for all
three quarterbacks, and could
essentially make all three
quarterbacks better because
pressure is a part of the quar-
terback position, Cozart said.
We all have great chemistry
in the quarterback room, so
were having fun with it and
going out everyday with our
teammates and having fun
while getting better, Cozart
said.
Jayhawk fans are familiar
with Cummings because he
played in the last eight games
of the 2011 season. In one of
those eight games, Cummings
faced Oklahoma State, but lost
20-14. Cummings said the
2011 Oklahoma State game
is the frst game that comes to
mind when he thinks back on
his freshman season.
Getting in the fourth quar-
ter against Okie State two
years ago, its a good memo-
ry, Cummings said. But we
came up short, so its a learn-
ing experience.
Cozart and Cummings have
similar playing styles as both
can escape from the pocket
and make plays with their
feet. Millweard is a prototyp-
ical quarterback that likes to
stay in the pocket.
T.J. is diferent from [Cozart
and Cummings] a little bit
a little more pro-style, Cozart
said. He likes to stay in the
pocket, but he can defnitely
deliver it.
Millweard, a transfer from
UCLA, said if he gets the op-
portunity to play on Saturday,
hell do whatever it takes to
help the Jayhawks win even
if he has to run the ball more.
I dont think its any secret
that Im not as athletic as
Montell [Cozart] or Michael
[Cummings] out there, Mill-
weard said. I believe in my
abilities to be able to run. Im
not going to break [a run] for
75 yards or anything like that,
but I believe I can pick up a
frst down. I can lower the
shoulder and pick up the frst
down for us.
Tis week isnt the best tim-
ing to be uncertain who the
starting quarterback will be
because according to Cozart,
the Oklahoma State defense
will be the best defense the
Jayhawks face all season.
Cozart said Oklahoma State
was the best defense in the Big
12 last season, but the Cow-
boys lost six defensive start-
ers, including 2013 Jim Tor-
pe fnalist cornerback Justin
Gilbert. Cozart said this sea-
sons Cowboys defense is still
really solid.
We said theyre one of the
best defenses that we play all
year, Cozart said. We can see
that on tape, and we are going
into this game with a mindset
that we just have to go out and
execute and put ourselves in
the best position to be suc-
cessful.
Te Oklahoma State ofense
ranks 23rd in nation by scor-
ing 39 points per game, which
is more than double the points
the Jayhawks score per game.
Senior safety Cassius Sendish
said that Oklahoma State runs
a similar ofense to what the
Jayhawks faced last week in
West Virginias spread ofense.
Te Cowboys rely on their
run game that averages 163
yards per game. Oklahoma
States senior running back
Desmond Roland leads the
Cowboys, averaging 18 car-
ries for 76 yards per game.
Tey want to run the ball,
and they want to establish the
run and they want to throw
the ball downfeld, Sendish
said.
Sendish said the Cowboys
love to give junior wide re-
ceiver Tyreek Hill the ball any
way they can because Hill is
Oklahoma States best ofen-
sive threat. Hill is averaging
fve yards per carry and nine
yards per reception.
To avoid a similar outcome
to last weeks West Virginia
loss, Sendish thinks the de-
fensive units needs to stay on
the same page, and the team
needs to stay aggressive.
Tackling is one of the main
things, this week, Sendish
said.

Kansas faces off against
Oklahoma State on Saturday
Prediction: Oklahoma State 45, Kansas 7
SHANE JACKSON
@Jacksonshane3

KANSAS
(2-3)

OKLAHOMA STATE
(4-1)
Montell Cozart, So.
Quarterback
Last week against West Virginia, Cozart was replaced by junior quarterback Michael Cummings after
inefcient play. While Cozart is still listed rst on the depth chart, interim coach Clint Bowen said the
competition is open, and the nal decision on the starter will be made after evaluation.
Corey Avery, Fr.
Running back
Avery is averaging 62 yards per game through ve games and has scored three total touchdowns. He
had to take most of the handoffs after junior DeAndre Mann, left with an injury against West Virginia.
Mann is said to be ne now, and they will continue to share responsibilities.

Nick Harwell, Sr.

Wide receiver
JaCorey Shepherd, Sr.
Cornerback
He has been the face of consistency. Shepherd and Dexter McDonald have been shutting down oppos-
ing receivers all season. They are tied for sixth in the league with six passes defended.
Ben Heeney, Sr.
Linebacker
Its not a surprise Heeney is having a great senior season. He is fourth in the league in total tackles, with
an average of 9.8 per game. He leads the Jayhawks in tackles with 49 and solo tackles with 31.

Daxx Garman, Jr.

Quarterback
Garman made his collegiate debut for injured J.W. Walsh in Oklahoma States season opener against
Missouri State. It was his rst snap since his junior year of high school in 2009. Garman threw for 244
yards and two scores.
Desmond Roland, Sr.
Running back
Gray leads the way in one of the nations most dynamic one-two punches out of the backeld. He aver-
ages 59.3 yards per game so far this season. He has yet to score a touchdown in 2014.

Tyreek Hill, Jr.

Wide receiver
Hill was a ve-star recruit out of Garden City Community College in Kansas and was the preseason
selection for Big 12 newcomer of the year. He gashed Florida State for 278 all-purpose yards in week
one. Against Iowa State, he had a 97-yard kickoff return for a touchdown.
James Castleman, Sr.
Defensive tackle
Kansas offensive line will have their hands full with 6-foot-2, 300-pound senior James Castleman.
The defensive lineman has 83 tackles, 13.5 tackles for loss, three sacks, ve pass breakups, two
fumbles recovered, one fumble forced, and three blocked kicks in his career with the Cowboys.
Josh Furman, Sr.
Linebacker
The senior transfer from Michigan is coming off a career-day against Iowa State. He recorded 10
tackles with two sacks and two tackles for loss. Furman leads the Cowboys with seven tackles for
loss, with all seven coming in his last four games.

He still shows the potential to make game-changing plays, but hasnt done it on the eld. Since
the season opener, Harwell has not scored on the offensive side. He did return a punt 76 yards for a
touchdown against West Virginia, showing he still has play-making ability.

STELLA LIANG
@stelly_liang
Kansan football beat writer
Dan Harmsen speaks with Ki-
eran Steckley, the sports editor
for Oklahoma States Daily
OCollegian and staf writer for
OStateIllustrated.com, to get a
closer look at Kansas Saturday
opponent.

DAN: Oklahoma State coach
Mike Gundy is no longer 40
years old. He turned 47 in
August. But there is no deny-
ing that he is the man. With
an 81-39 record in 10 seasons
at OSU, my question is two-
pronged: How long is Gundy
going to be around, and will he
keep winning at this frenetic
pace?
KIERAN: I do think he is going
to keep winning at this pace.
Te program is at a height not
seen before he came, high-
lighted by the Big 12 Champi-
onship and Fiesta Bowl run in
2011. He is constantly getting
good recruiting classes, hav-
ing young players come in and
making an impact right away.
Hes also getting gems in re-
cruiting. Justin Blackmon was
only a three-star recruit. Bran-
don Weeden was obviously
a walk-on. He knows how to
recruit players, and more im-
portantly, he knows how to
develop them.
I do think he is going to have
success for as long as he is
here. And thats the other part
of your question, how long will
he be here? A couple years ago
it was rumored that he was go-
ing to leave to go to Tennessee.
Obviously, he has always been
connected to the Texas job af-
ter Mack Brown lef.
Tis being his alma mater,
I think he feels the respon-
sibility toward the commu-
nity and toward the school
and for the state, so I think if
he wanted to, he could retire
here. I dont ever think hell be
fred. I wouldnt say never with
him. He is a prideful guy, and
if he feels like he doesnt get
the respect that he deserves
from administration and from
athletic director Mike Hold-
er, I dont think he would be
against leaving given the right
circumstance. I think he will
be here a while, but it isnt out
of the realm of possibility that
he leaves given certain circum-
stances.

DAN: Tis is an Oklahoma
State team that lost a lot from
last year, bringing back only
eight total starters. With Flor-
ida State right of the bat, and
then losing J.W. Walsh to inju-
ry, you would have expected a
tough start, but the Cowboys
played them close, and hasnt
lost since. What were the ex-
pectations heading into 2014,
and how has the Cowboys
fanbase responded to the frst
fve games of the season?
KIERAN: Expectations were
around seven to eight wins.
Eight wins if you were more
optimistic, and six wins if you
were more on the pessimistic
side. Like you said, there are a
lot of new players on this team,
particularly on the defense,
which had seven new start-
ers. Te guys that arent the
new starters are young, and a
bunch of the process is learn-
ing how to play at this level.
Te fans have responded very
well to this team. [Tey] kind
of rallied behind Daxx Gar-
man who took over for J.W.
Walsh. Tey are very excited
that this is a diferent type of
quarterback. Hes got a big
arm and likes to throw the ball
down the feld, and that will
excite a lot of fans as theyve
become used to this air-raid
ofense.
Tey are ecstatic about
Tyreek Hill, the JuCo trans-
fer [who] has a load of talent,
takes the ball on the ground
and returns kicks. Every time
he touches the ball, you can
hear the air come out of the
stadium as the fans anticipate
something big from him.
Overall, they came in with
realistic expectations. Oklaho-
ma State fans are accustomed
to being a winning program,
but overall, not an Alabama.
Tey know its more of a pro-
cess, and this is a young team
that is going to develop. I think
they rallied behind this team,
and the play has the fans excit-
ed, especially that Florida State
game, a game they could have
won. Against all odds, nobody
saw that coming but myself. I
think there was a glimpse of
hope that the fans grabbed on
to early.

DAN: Ofensively, diferent
year, same results. Oklahoma
State averages 449.8 yards of
total ofense this year and is
putting up close to 40 points
per game. You mentioned a
few already, but who are a few
players to watch on the Cow-
boys ofense?

KIERAN: Every time Tyreek
Hill touches the ball he is ca-
pable of scoring a touchdown.
He only has two touchdowns
this year. One of them was a
kickof return, the other was a
50-yard pass. He is a running
back [who] likes to bounce it
outside around the defense.
Hes also pretty elusive, but
he can be contained, though.
He is not invincible as we saw
against Iowa State. But the
threat is always there.
Garman has an incredible
arm. He loves to throw the
ball down the feld. Hes not
as strong throwing in the in-
termediate and short passes.
He has a little accuracy issues
there, but throwing the ball
down the feld is his bread
and butter. I would talk about
receivers, but there are a lot
of names there. Tere isnt a
true number one receiver on
this team. (It) kind of changes
by week. Teyre big, theyre
strong, they run good routes,
they have good hands, some of
them are fast. Jhajuan Seales is
the leading returning receiver
from last year, and he hasnt
played as well as some of the
other guys, Marcell Ateman,
David Glidden, Brandon
Sheperd.
You cant forget about
Desmond Roland, a be-
tween-the-tackles bruiser kind
of guy who can break away as
well. Tey certainly have capa-
ble playmakers.

DAN: If theres one weak point
on this team, Oklahoma State
is getting gashed through the
air. If Kansas has one advan-
tage in this football game, it
may be in that facet, as the
Kansas defense has allowed 30
less yards per game through
the air. Problem is the Kansas
ofense likely wont take ad-
vantage. How do you see the
Cowboys ofense matching up
in Lawrence?

KIERAN: Youre right, the
strength is up front. Te de-
fensive line is the most veteran
group of that defense, return
two starters, and the guys
[who] didnt start last year are
playing well. Jimmy Bean is a
good pass rusher and good on
run-support. Emmanuel Og-
bah had a couple sacks against
Florida State, he had defensive
player of the week. Te line-
backers are pretty strong too.
Tey help in the run-support:
Ryan Simmons in the middle,
Josh Furman, a transfer from
Michigan, on the outside.
Te pass defense, theyre in-
experienced, they added a cou-
ple new starters [who] went
down with injury. Teyve had
a lot of pass-interference pen-
alties. Te most inexperienced
position was the pass defense,
and it got worse with injuries.

DAN: Oklahoma State has won
nine of the past 10 meetings
against Kansas. Tey make it
10 of 11 on Saturday, right?
KIERAN: Tatll be my predic-
tion. I dont have my score on
me. Oklahoma State doesnt
take games of. Tey were say-
ing they werent going to let
up against Kansas, even with
the coaching change. Teyre
going to come out playing
like theyre up against Flori-
da State. I think, at this point,
they are just more talented
than Kansas. Sometimes, thats
just what it comes down to
who has more talent. I dont
have a score on me, but Okla-
homa State will win the game.

Big 12 Soccer Power Rankings: Kansas vaults to rst
BEN CARROLL
@BCarroll91
1. KANSAS (3-0, 13-1)
For the Jayhawks, the defense
has been solidifed during the
course of the season, allowing
just seven goals in 14 games.
Te ofense, led by junior
midfelder Liana Salazar and
her conference-leading nine
goals, has been a force. Ten
diferent players have been
able to net goals this season
for the Jayhawks. Tey remain
undefeated at home and have
lost just one game all season,
which is the highest winning
percentage in the nation.

2. OKLAHOMA (2-0, 8-3-2)
Te Sooners are the only
other team besides Kansas
still undefeated and without a
tie in the Big 12, which is why
they get the number two spot.
Tey have three loses, one of
which came to No. 2 Florida
State. Te Sooners have some
impressive wins on their r-
sum. Tey have defeated No.
5 Florida and beat No. 15 Tex-
as Tech last Friday.

3. WEST VIRGINIA (1-0-1,
8-2-2)
WVU used to be ranked
ahead of all Big 12 teams at
No. 14, but have since fallen
down to No. 17. Afer losing
two of the frst three games at
the start of the season, West
Virginia has put together a
winning streak against tough
opponents. Te Mountaineers
have defeated a versatile Texas
team but lost to TCU, a team
Kansas has defeated, so they
rank third.
4. TEXAS (2-1, 7-4-2)
Although the Longhorns sit
in third place in the Big 12,
they get the fourth spot in
the Power Rankings because
of a conference loss. Noncon-
ference losses to teams such
as South Florida (7-5-1) and
No. 18 Central Florida (11-2)
should have been won. Texas
ranks outside the top 25 and
ranks ffh in the Big 12 in
goals per game.

5. OKLAHOMA STATE (1-1-1,
6-7-1)
Oklahoma State had argu-
ably one of the toughest non-
conference schedules, which
is why they arent ranked
closer to the bottom with
that below average winning
percentage. Te Cowgirls lost
to Florida State and Florida,
who are currently ranked No.
2 and 5, respectively, and also
to Arkansas and No. 19 Arizo-
na State.
6. BAYLOR (1-1-1, 7-4-2)
Te only reason Baylor isnt
ranked ahead of Oklahoma
State is because its strength of
schedule isnt nearly as high.
Baylor has played quality soc-
cer this season and has a po-
tent style of play, which makes
it hard for the opponent to
play its game. But since the
Lady Bears rank in the mid-
dle of the pack in nearly every
single ofensive and defensive
category. Te only catego-
ry the team ranks frst in is
shutouts, which it shares with
Kansas. Baylor sits in ffh
place in the Big 12 standings.

7. TEXAS TECH (0-2-1, 10-2-1)
Before conference play be-
gan, the Red Raiders looked
like the team to beat in the Big
12, sweeping nonconference
play and ranking inside the
top 10 at number nine. Tey
had important wins against
No. 14 Notre Dame and No.
22 California during that
time. Since conference play
began, TTU is winless. Losses
to Oklahoma and Texas and
a tie against Oklahoma State
have the Red Raiders drop-
ping out of contention fast,
but still rank higher than all
Big 12 teams except Kansas.
8. TEXAS CHRISTIAN
UNIVERSITY (0-1-2, 7-4-2)
TCU had a strong noncon-
ference start to the season,
going 7-3 in those ten games,
but are since winless in the
Big 12. Missouri and Wash-
ington State are the only
games the Horned Frogs have
played against teams ranked
higher than them, and they
lost both. TCU needs to start
winning key games in the
Big 12 against powerful op-
ponents to have any hope in
making up lost ground in the
standings.

9: IOWA STATE (0-4, 6-8)
Te last-place decision is a
no-brainer because the Cy-
clones have the worst con-
ference and overall record in
the Big 12. ISU ranks in the
bottom three of all the team
categories except for three
and only have 18 goals in the
teams 14 games. Te Cyclones
have no real shot at winning
the conference title this sea-
son.
Edited by Lyndsey Havens
AARON GROENE/KANSAN
Freshman forward Eli Mayr looks to score against Missouri State in
Lawrence on Sunday. Kansas won 2-1.
With the momentum of two
hard fought wins this past
weekend, No. 11 Kansas wom-
ens soccer will journey to Tex-
as for the last time during this
regular season to take on the
Longhorns on Friday at 7 p.m.
Te Jayhawks have now sur-
passed yet another historic
program landmark as they
broke the previous home-game
winning streak record of nine
wins. With two wins this past
weekend, the active streak is
now at 11.
Were pretty confdent right
now, but were trying not to get
ahead of ourselves, midfeld-
er and forward Jamie Fletcher
said.
Tis confdence will carry
the Jayhawks to one of their
toughest games of the season
against Texas, a team current-
ly ranked third in the Big 12.
Coming of a 1-0 win over Iowa
State on Friday, the Longhorns
are 7-4-2 overall and 2-1 in the
conference. Te team averages
1.62 goals per game and 16.2
shots per game, only allowing
.85 and 12.4 respectively from
their opponents. Both Fletcher
and coach Mark Francis have
predicted a tough game with a
great atmosphere.
Weve never played there at
night in my three years, Fletch-
er said. It should be a great
atmosphere. Texas is a really
good team, so we have to stay
confdent but not complacent.
Francis said, despite tough
competition, if the Jayhawks
play as they have been playing,
the team should have no prob-
lem competing with any oppo-
nent.
In these conference games,
its always close, you know?
Francis said. You look at the
results of the conference so far
and kind of everybody is beat-
ing everybody so it just comes
down to that day, that time
and that game where you have
to perform and execute better
than the other team.
Success this weekend comes
from proper preparation and
recovery this week, Fletcher
said. Te team has to have a
tougher mentality when they
travel onto a foreign pitch.
You have to try and have
the same mentality as a home
game, Fletcher said. Youre a
little bit more uncomfortable
because youre sleeping in a ho-
tel and youre traveling a lot, but
you have to let that not afect
you in any way and have the
same mindset as a home game.
Francis said he is looking
forward to hopefully adding
another win to the record sheet
and playing good competition
this weekend.
When youre a coach or a
player, you want to play against
good teams, Francis said. Tis
is an opportunity Friday for us
to do that and see where we are
at.

Baylor awaits KU volleyball
MATT CORTE
@Corte_UDK
Predicted to fnish second in
the Big 12, and now standing
at 0-3, Kansas volleyball's start
in the conference hasn't exact-
ly gone according to plan.
However, if there's an oppo-
nent that can help kick-start
this team back into pre-con-
ference form, it would be the
Baylor Bears.
At 1-3, Baylor's conference
record is the worst besides
Kansas, and the Bears overall
win percentage of .556 is the
worst among Big 12 teams.
Putting it mildly, if there was
ever a time for Kansas to get
its frst conference win, it's
against Baylor on Friday night.
All the Jayhawks have to do
now is fnish matches, which is
a lot easier said than done.
So far, Kansas has held set
leads of 2-0 against Oklahoma
and 2-1 against Kansas State,
only to lose both matches in
the ffh set by a combined
score of 30-17.
It's not just fnishing matches
that's plaguing the Jayhawks.
As coach Ray Bechard pointed
out, many others factors that
can make the team more suc-
cessful.
"Obviously there's technical
things we can do better," Be-
chard said. "But what kind of
a teammate are we being, how
hard are we competing? Are
we making our teammates job
a little easier or tougher?"
In order to get a win Friday
night, the Jayhawks should fol-
low their coach's words closely.
Tey'll have to compete hard-
er than they have all season
and make each other's jobs
easier than in any previous
match.
It's not that Baylor sudden-
ly turned into Texas or Penn
State overnight. Rather, the
Jayhawks can't aford to play
any match less than perfect
from here on out.
Also consider this: Baylor's
lone conference win came
against Kansas State, who hap-
pened to stun Kansas on its
home court just over a week
ago.
Although that win at Kansas
State was Baylor's only one in
the last seven matches, it's still
signifcant that they were able
to defeat a team Kansas lost to.
If the Bears are to defeat
Kansas, it will most likely be
through the teams top two hit-
ters, Andie Malloy and Katie
Staiger.
Malloy, a junior outside hit-
ter, is ranked second in the
Big 12 with 3.94 kills per set,
which has resulted in 256 kills
on the season.
Her outside counterpart,
Staiger, has performed very
well as a redshirt freshman,
collecting 212 kills on the sea-
son with 3.16 kills per set.
If the Jayhawks are able to
hold Malloy and Staiger to
subpar performances while
consistently putting their own
hits in play, then Kansas will
have a great chance at winning
the match.
Baylor is currently ranked
last in the Big 12 with an over-
all team hitting percentage of
.210, while second to last in
opponents hitting percentage.

Afer winning 12 of its frst 14
games in nonconference play,
the Kansas volleyball team
has experienced a rough start
to the Big 12 season, dropping
to 0-3 in conference play with
Sunday afernoon's loss to No.
2 Texas.
"It's not the start we envi-
sioned for the Big 12," coach
Ray Bechard said afer the loss.
"But, I think we saw moments
today that we can build on."
It's the frst time the Jayhawks
have started conference play
0-3 since 2011, but the situa-
tion may not be quite as dire
as it seems all three loss-
es have come at the hands of
arguably the top three teams in
the league. Texas looks to be a
mainstay among the top fve all
year, No. 19 Kansas State is 15-
2, and Oklahoma is on the top-
25 bubble while undefeated on
its home court.
Yes, Kansas has struggled
fnishing matches it was up
2-0 on Oklahoma and 2-1 on
Kansas State before eventual-
ly dropping both games. But
senior outside hitter Chelsea
Albers said that maintaining
momentum and limiting er-
rors can fx that.
"I think we need to keep our
momentum high, keep our
energy high, and focus on not
making as many errors," Al-
bers said. "Especially at crucial
points, not letting other teams
get strings [of points]. I think
that's a really big piece of why
we're not fnishing at the end."
Tough it lost seven seniors
from last seasons squad that
reached the Sweet 16, lack of
talent isnt the issue for this
Kansas team. Several new-
comers have become instant
contributors, helping ease the
loss of the seven that it lost to
graduation.
Freshman setter Ainise Havi-
li and freshman outside hitter
Madison Rigdon have been
the two biggest contribu-
tors among frst-year players.
Havili is currently third in the
conference with 11 assists per
set, accumulating eight dou-
ble-doubles so far this season.
Rigdon was named the Big
12 Player of the Week for the
week of Sep. 14, and sits third
on the team with 146 kills. Ad-
ditionally, freshman middle
blocker Kayla Cheadle leads
the Big 12 in kill percentage at
.369.
"I wouldn't say we're inexpe-
rienced, but we have defnite-
ly a lot of youth on the team,"
Havili said. "So it's diferent
going against these bigger,
more physical teams. But I
think we do really well for how
young we all are."
In addition to a strong group
of newcomers, Albers has pro-
vided veteran leadership and
is currently sixth in the Big 12
in both points (3.67 per set)
and kills (3.22 per set). But
even with a better-than-ad-
vertised freshman class and
natural leader like Albers, the
Jayhawks simply haven't been
able to put it together in con-
ference play.
Bechard said part of the
problem is not getting enough
balls to the Jayhawks middle
blockers.
"Our percentage of the balls
that are hit to the middle are
not high enough," he said.
"Our goal is to get 30 percent
of the balls to people like [Tay-
ler] Soucie, [Kelsie] Payne,
Janae Hall, whoever's in there.
We're in the low 20s now."
Bechard said that its his
team's defciency in this area
that allows the opposition to
gameplan and better defend
specifc tendencies. It's an is-
sue that can be fxed by better
passing, which is something he
said the team will work on in
practice this week.
Tough its Big 12 schedule
has had a less-than-desirable
start, the team still believes it
has what it takes to shake its
early-conference woes and
compete among the top teams.
Finding itself at the bottom of
the league standings, the Jay-
hawks will need to begin im-
proving this Friday at Baylor,
a team that Kansas swept last
season.
"I think we're all there right
now. I think we just need to
keep our energy high. Tat's
the number one thing we need
to focus on," Albers said. "If
we do that, things will turn
around in time."

T
hings have been
magical for the
Royals, and things
have become so close to not
materializing. As the Royals
are a mere four games away
from the World Series, a lot
of people will soon come to
the realization that you have
to give credit to the man who
is responsible for getting the
team to this moment. As pain-
fully reluctant as fans have
been to give Dayton Moore
credit, he is a huge reason why
theyre playing in Baltimore
on Friday.
One of the things on Moores
resume that cant be disputed
is that he has been a huge pro-
ponent of developing a talent
base in Latin America, which
led to the signing of pitcher
Kelvin Herrera and catcher
Salvador Perez. Te Royals
had remotely no presence in
the region under the previous
administration.
In addition, Moore built
himself what was coined as
the Best Farm System with
nine top 100 prospects on
Baseball Americas annual
list. No teams had ever done
since the inception of the list
in 1983.
Te Royals built their minor
league stock up with a balance
of hitting and pitching.
However, as time had pro-
gressed, no one was making
a withstanding impact. Mike
Moustakas and Eric Hosmer
played their frst season in
the majors in 2011 and were
above replacement-level play-
ers, but afer their second sea-
son in the majors culminated,
the Royals stood at 72-90 and
third place in the American
League Central. Tere wasnt
any validation of the hyped
farm system.
But as Dayton Moore
preached loyalty in his
players throughout his entire
tenure, it certainly has had a
profound efect on them, most
notably Moustakas and Hos-
mer. While Moustakas hasnt
played up to his capabilities,
Moores faith in him has paid
of as he has hit two home
runs in the postseason. Te
Royals front ofce is hoping
for a bolt of confdence from
him.
Meanwhile, Hosmer has
been one of the hottest hitters
post All-Star break, and as
he did last year in the second
half of the season, showed the
potential is right in front of
him. Te only thing stopping
him is the technical aspects of
his swing.
Starting pitching was
something that was never
developed and always was the
crux of Moores teams, until
the last two years. Yordano
Ventura and Danny Dufy
were the two tipping points
from the Royals being a fringe
contender to them taking it to
the next level.
Tey were pitching in their
frst full season as starters in
2014 and many pundits won-
dered if they were going to be
able to sustain the dog days
of the season without falling
apart. Without their produc-
tion, the shortcomings of the
ofense would have been more
glaring.
Since Moore arrived in
Kansas City in 2006, fans of
the Royals probably heard
process more than any other
word. His fngerprints in the
Royals organization were
brought into question when
his frst round picks hadnt
panned out. And nobody
would have ever predicted
that Moore would be given
eight years and Ned Yost
would keep a job for four of
them, but you cant argue with
where they are, on the verge of
an AL Pennant.

Its very clear that the Royals
cant thank only a single
player for their successful
playof performance, but
the work of frst baseman
Eric Hosmer cant readily be
ignored, either. While the
entire team is playing great
baseball, Hosmers had two
playof-defning hits that have
propelled the Royals further
into October.
Hosmer, who was the 2008
number three overall draf
pick, is currently living up to
hefy program expectations
and delivering key hits in key
moments of the postseason.
Hosmer did just that when
he hit the go-ahead home
run in Game 2 of the ALDS
against the Los Angeles
Angels. Te Royals were tied
1-1 when Hosmer hit the
home run in the top of the
11th inning, bringing in a
runner to pull the score up
3-1. Te Royals went on to
win the game 4-1 and sweep
the Angels with a fnal game
at home.
In Game 3, Hosmer hit
his second homer of the
postseason during the
bottom of the third on what
would become the fnal game
of the series. Te Royals won
that game, 8-3.
Just how important have
powerful bats been this
postseason? Te Royals
fnished last in the MLB in
home runs hit with just 95 in
the 162 games of the regular
season, but have already
hit four in four games this
postseason,
two of those
belonging to
Hosmer.
Hosmers
big hits will
be a big part
of what is
taken away
from this
postseason.
While a lot
of credit
should go to
the Royals
incredible performances from
their pitching and bullpen
this October, game-winning
home runs are remembered
and add to the atmosphere
the Royals are establishing for
the frst time in 29 years.
His presence at the plate,
outside of those big moments
has also been impressive.
So far, Hosmer has an OPS
of 1.774 in the postseason,
compared to .716 in the
regular season, according
to ESPN.com. In 14 at bats
this postseason, Hosmers
seven hits puts him at a .500
average, along with fve runs
and fve RBIs.
Te entire Royals roster has
certainly shown some Kansas
City magic this October that
has propelled the team into
the postseason with a bang,
but moments like Hosmers
home runs will forever be
on the highlight reel of this
postseason. If Hosmer can
keep performing at the plate,
and the rest of the Royals
continue playing to the high
caliber they have been this
postseason, Kansas City
might just be able to make it
past the Orioles and into the
World Series.

Relief pitchers are ofen
overlooked by the everyday
baseball fan. Tey dont hit
home runs, pitch no-hitters
or even complete games. Tey
dont steal bases, win gold
gloves or make jaw-dropping
plays that are featured on
ESPNs Top 10.
But the Royals wouldnt
be where they are without
their bullpen efciency as the
season winds down.
On Sunday, James Shields
was on the mound for
arguably the biggest game for
the Royals since the team won
the World Series in 1985. Tey
didnt need a shutout from
their pitching kingpin. Just six
innings.
Just get us through six in
the ballgame and we can turn
it over to the bullpen guys,
Royals manager Ned Yost
said on the Royals ofcial
website before Shields pitched
a six-inning, two-run game.
Te bullpen threw a three-
inning shutout, and the Royals
advanced to the American
League Championship Series
with the win.
Te bullpen has been stellar
for the Royals all season, with
the seventh-best ERA and
a 1.24 WHIP in the regular
season. Both numbers would
be higher if it were not for
pitchers like Tim Collins,
Michael Mariot and Louis
Coleman bringing the teams
numbers down before they
were relegated to the minors.
For the main crew Greg
Holland, Wade Davis, Jason
Frasor, Kelvin Herrera and
the new addition of southpaw
Brandon Finnegan from
Texas Christian there have
been superb performances
day in and day out. Te staf
has ultimately led the team
through the postseason so far.
In the opening Wild Card
game, afer Yordano Ventura
and Shields pitched 5.1
innings and allowed six runs,
Royals fans likely thought it
was over. Of course, the rally
wouldnt have been made
without big eighth and ninth
innings from
the bats, but
it was the
bullpen that
allowed only
two runs
over the
fnal seven
innings of
play.
Te
bullpen
sustained
just one
run in 12 innings on the
mound in three games against
the Angels, including two
11-inning games in which the
crew didnt allow a run.
Holland has pitched four
scoreless innings, notching
two saves. Finnegan has burst
onto the scene in big spots,
giving up only one hit in four
innings on the mound. Frasor
got the Royals through the
ninth inning and to extra
innings on Friday. Davis
has been the same regular
season Davis that sported an
impressive 1.00 ERA. Even
when Herrera wasnt ready to
throw before Sunday, the rest
of the staf has performed in a
big way.
Afer six innings, the Royals
are going to be hard for any
team to beat, especially if
the bullpen keeps playing
efciently.
