Te University established

a new committee with goals


of removing some of the
administrative inconveniences
for students seeking
admission to new majors.
Te Undergraduate Advising
Executive Committee already
held its frst meeting last
Wednesday with every school
at the University represented.
Te committee is looking to
make proposals to streamline
the advising process for
students entering new majors
or changing their majors.
Currently, students looking
to change their majors are
lef with relatively little
administrative assistance.
When Jami Kay Bessey,
a senior from Paola,
transferred from the School of
Engineering to School of Arts
to be a theater major, she said
there was only little help from
either of the departments.
[Tey] just lef it to me,
Bessey said. Te School of the
Arts adviser helped me with
getting some classes to count
for diferent requirements, but
thats about it.
To help students going
through the process, the
committee is considering
re-establishing an advising
network that would bring all
advisers on campus to work
together.
Each school on campus
does its own advising and each
unit does advising a little bit

Trojan Brand Condoms just released their ninth annual Sexual Health Report Card, ranking the University of Kansas No. 55 on the list of 140 colleges nationwide.

Trojan Brand Condoms
recently released its ninth
annual Sexual Health Report
Card, which ranked KUs
main campus No. 55 out of
140 colleges on sexual health.
Te rankings are based on 11
separate categories, including
sexual health education and
resources, on-site STI and HIV
testing, condom availability and
sexual assault programs and
resources.
Te University jumped nine
spaces up from last years
No. 64 rank, just behind Kansas
State University. Oregon State
University ranked No. 1, with
Brigham Young University
being ranked the lowest of the
140 colleges on sexual health.
Te Centers for Disease
Control estimates that nearly
20 million new sexually
transmitted infections occur
every year in this country, with
1-in-4 college students having
some form of an STI.
Te research data was collected
and ranked by the independent
research frm, Sperlings
BestPlaces. One notable fnding
from the study was that only
41 percent of college-aged
adults report they always use
a condom. Melissa Smith, of
Edelman public relations, said
another signifcant fnding of
the study was 64 percent of
college age adults reported using
a condom the last time they had
sex, compared to 54 percent of
those aged 23-34. Fewer college
age adults have had STD scares
than their older peers, and they
are nearly twice as likely not
to have ever been tested for an
STD, according to the data.
Safe sex is promoted through
various ways on campus,
including the yearly sexual
health demonstrations in
the dorms and scholarship
halls put on by Peer Health
Educators. Te demonstrations
include information on how to
efectively use condoms. Peer
Health also passes out safe sex
kits and discusses safe sex with
students. Confdential walk-in
STI testing is available on
campus at Watkins Memorial
Health Center.
Shannon Livengood, a senior
from Clay Center and peer
health education coordinator
at Watkins, said she talks to
students over the phone and
in person weekly about sexual
health. She said the most
commonly asked question
is about how to properly use
condoms.
Every Friday, peer health
educators hold an event called
Condom Sense Friday to
educate students on safe sex
by passing out safe sex kits
that contain two condoms,
instructions for use and how to
contact them if students have
additional questions.
Typically we pass out
200 condoms every Friday,
Livengood said. We also just
recently added a consent sticker
to each condom that says Ask
before you unwrap.
Sex is not just supposed be
a goal at the end of the night,
it should be something that
all parties involved with want
enthusiastically and it should
be something that people talk
about, said Jenny McKee, a
health educator at Watkins.
McKee said students who
are thinking about hooking
up should start with a pre-sex
conversation so all parties
involved are on the same page.
Any student who has
questions about sexual health
can get in touch with a peer
health educator through phone
at (785) 864-9574 or by email at
peerhlth@ku.edu.

according to an email sent out by

Police investigate
Sunday morning death
Lawrence police investigated a
call reporting shots red at 24th
Street and Brush Creek Drive on
Sunday at approximately 2 a.m.
The shots red then became a
death investigation after ofcers
arrived, said Sgt. Craig Shanks of
the Lawrence Police Department.
Shanks said the public is in no
immediate danger. He could not
conrm whether the death was
suspicious.
When asked if the case was
closed or still under investigation,
Shanks said most death investi-
gations dont start and end within
a period of 24 hours.
The investigation unit will con-
tinue to look into the circumstanc-
es of the death, and the ofcer in
charge of public relations will re-
lease more information tomorrow.

diferently, said Kelli Nichols,
head of the committee and
assistant dean and adviser in
the School of Journalism.
Nichols said the committee
is not trying to change the
way each school does its own
advising, but have the advising
network to cooperate and
communicate more.
[Were] talking about how
we deal with students when
they apply to one of our majors,
whether theyre admitted or
denied, and just sharing how
each school does that, since
each school does that a little
diferently, Nichols said.
Another administrative
inconsistency the committee
hopes to address is the
diferent application deadlines,
Nichols said.
Deadlines for those
applications dont always
match up, and [were asking],
could they? Nichols said.
[Were] looking at making
things a little more consistent
for students [which] will make
it easier for everyone.

ADVISING FROM PAGE 1A
WICHITA Te bodies
of all four victims have been
recovered from the rubble
of a Wichita fight training
facility that was struck by an
airplane earlier in the week,
according to the city's fre
marshal.
Wichita Fire Marshal Brad
Crisp said in a news con-
ference Saturday night that
crews removed the body of
the pilot from the roof of the
Flight Safety International
Learning Center at Wichita
Mid-Continent Airport.
Te bodies of the other
three victims who were in-
side a fight simulator when
the twin-engine plane hit
Tursday had been removed
Friday.
Crisp said crews had a hard
time reaching the pilot's
body because the walls and
roof of the structure, which
caught on fre afer the crash,
were crumbling.
Wichita fre crews plan to
remain at the crash scene
through at least Sunday to
deal with small fare-ups,
Crisp said.
"Tere are a lot of factors,
including aviation fuel that's
still in the building, that we
have to pay attention to," he
said.
Heavy-equipment oper-
ators were also on scene,
deconstructing parts of the
building, the newspaper re-
ported.
Police have confrmed the
identity of the pilot as Mark
Goldstein, 53, but Crisp de-
clined Saturday to release
the other victims' names,
saying that the coroner's of-
fce was working to identify
them and notify their fami-
lies.
National Transportation
Safety Board spokesman Pe-
ter Knudson told the news-
paper Friday that the cockpit
voice recorder had been re-
moved by lowering someone
in a harness into the rubble.
"We didn't want to wait un-
til the building was safe to
go into," Knudson said. "We
wanted to get that informa-
tion as quickly as possible."
Knudson said the voice re-
corder would be shipped to
Washington, D.C., for anal-
ysis.
Knudson said the NTSB
had determined there was
also "some sort of data re-
corder" on board. It was not
clear whether that recorder
survived because it was not
in a crash-hardened black
box, though Knudson said
ofcials are hopeful they can
secure it.

PRAIRIE VILLAGE
Republican Sen. Pat Rob-
erts and independent chal-
lenger Greg Orman began
their closing appeals in
this surprisingly competi-
tive race, aiming mainly at
dissatisfed moderates in
vote-rich eastern Kansas.
Roberts, fghting for his
fourth term, campaigned
with former Kansas Sen.
Bob Dole, describing him
as a sensible collaborator
during his years as major-
ity leader. Orman took his
message, stoking dissatis-
faction with both parties,
to rallies of supporters in
Wichita and in the Kansas
City suburbs.
Te two are locked in a
neck-and-neck race, with
Orman slightly ahead in
polls, at a time when Re-
publicans are within strik-
ing distance of winning
control of the Senate. Yet,
Republicans were not ex-
pecting to have to defend
Roberts.
"It's time for Kansans
to declare their indepen-
dence from all this," Or-
man told about 200 sup-
porters at a neighborhood
park in Prairie Village,
referring to gridlock in the
federal government. "I'm
asking Kansans to declare
their independence by
supporting mine on Tues-
day."
Orman has led by very
narrow margins since Oc-
tober, while Roberts' sup-
port has been steady but
seldom ahead of Orman's.
Orman needs larger than
normal turnout from in-
dependents, and Demo-
crats.
"Because of you what
was once an idealistic and
hopeful campaign is now a
campaign on the verge of
victory," Orman told sup-
porters.

First-year students battle homesickness
Andrea Subirana, a freshman
from Santa Cruz, Bolivia, cant
wait to be reunited with her
family and friends during win-
ter break in December or visit
her favorite spot in the heart of
Santa Cruz.
One of my favorite places
in my home city is its princi-
pal square-plaza, she said. It
is in the exact middle, and in
front of the Cathedral. Its full
of palm trees, pigeons and cof-
fee sellers. Its pretty easy to
get there and there are many
things you can do, indepen-
dent of the hour or day.
While she cant fnd her own
Plaza 24 de Septiembre in
Lawrence, she appreciates the
older buildings on campus and
the changing seasons.
Right now its spring there
and the fowers fall from the
trees the same way that leaves
fall here, she said. It is really
nice to experience that simi-
larity.
Today, Subirana seems to
have made the transition to
her new life at the University
of Kansas, but still feels the
efects of homesickness, as
do many other frst-year stu-
dents. In 10 short weeks, these
students have been obliged to
make new friends, take on new
responsibilities and adjust to
unfamiliar surroundings.
College proves to be a phys-
ically and mentally taxing con-
version for many students,
said Omri Gillath, a professor
in social psychology.
He said as students deal with
homesickness and the ofen
attendant feelings of depres-
sion or sadness, they should
seek support from the people
theyve been closest to. He
recommends emailing or call-
ing as opposed to just posting
information on Facebook, per-
haps not every day, but ofen
enough to stay meaningfully
connected.
What we found really help-
ful was to maintain relation-
ships with your old networks,
he said. If you can stay in
touch with your friends and
if you can stay in touch with
your family, that will defnitely
help you.
Freshmen Kenzie Funk and
her twin sister Maddie Funk
dont have to go far to see each
other, but just living separate-
ly in diferent dorms has been
an adjustment. Tey have al-
ways had a close relationship
and shared the same group of
friends.
Im actually kind of home-
sick now, even though Ive
been here for a while, Kenzie
said. But being away from my
sister was a really hard adjust-
ment for me. I still go over to
her room a lot and we talk on
the phone more than we ever
did at home.
Kenzie, who is from Lenexa,
said there is always the temp-
tation to drive home when she
starts missing her family, but
she has been trying to avoid
doing so. Rather than leaving
Lawrence, she will give her
mom a call or spend time with
her friends to keep her mind
of of feeling homesick.
We both kind of have our
own friends now and I think
that took a toll on our relation-

@hannahkaylee
Kansas judge to issue marriage decision soon
NEW:
Te status of same-sex mar-
riage is still in question for
the state of Kansas afer Fri-
days hearing in a federal
court. Judge Daniel Crabtree
heard the cases Friday for the
same-sex marriage lawsuit,
Marie v. Moser, which was
fled by the American Civil
Liberties Union on behalf of
two lesbian Kansas couples,
but has yet to make a decision.
Afer attorneys for both sides
of the lawsuit presented their
arguments, Crabtree ended
Fridays hearing by saying
there will be a decision made
as soon as possible, but he did
not give a specifc date.
THE HEARING:
An attorney for the plaintif,
Marie, said the law in Kansas
prevents same-sex couples
from experiencing the joys and
practical privileges of mar-
riage, and the purpose of this
lawsuit was to seek a prelimi-
nary injunction, which would
be a court order for court
clerks that says they cant deny
marriage licenses to same-
sex couples. Te attorney also
asked for prospective relief,
which means the injunction
would apply to same-sex cou-
ples from here on out, not past
events.
A defense attorney for Moser
said if a preliminary injunc-
tion is granted, the defense will
appeal, which means a higher
court, the 10th Circuit Court
of Appeals, would review the
decision. Te defense wants
a state court, the Kansas Su-
preme Court, to make the de-
cision on same-sex marriage.
Tey dont want a federal court
to make a decision for Kansas.
BACKGROUND:
Te two Kansas couples in
the case tried to get marriage
licenses afer same-sex mar-
riage became legal in Oklaho-
ma and Utah on Oct. 6., but
were denied, according to the
ACLU website.
On Oct. 6., the U.S. Supreme
Court declined to hear cases
on same-sex marriage, involv-
ing fve states, two of them
being Oklahoma and Utah.
Teir refusal to hear the cases
made same-sex marriage legal
in those fve states. Since Kan-
sas is part of the 10th Circuit,
along with Oklahoma and
Utah, this legalization set prec-
edent, or paved the way, for
same-sex marriage to also be-
come legal in Kansas at some
point.

KANSAN CARTOON: WORLD SERIES TRIBUTE
The protests on campus
have seemed to not only
increase in frequency, but
also in energy. Originally
from Texas, it surprised me
when I would see people
who werent University
students throwing Bibles,
waving signs and yelling
at the top of their lungs,
or even seeing silent
protesters on Wescoe
Beach. As time has gone
on, Ive witnessed more
of these protests and have
come to the conclusion
that these protests do more
good than harm.
These protests can be
seen as annoying and
inconvenient, especially
when youre in a rush to
class and someone holding
a sign saying, Be A Ho
No Mo stops you. Just the
noise and ruckus naturally
draws your attention
toward the crowds,
whether you meant for it
to. However, the louder
the protests, the more the
students gather around
and listen. Students will
stop and observe, whether
they agree, and some may
even voice their opinions
on what the protesters have
to say. Watching groups
of students discuss their
own personal beliefs with
protesters on campus gives
me a sense of pride in
my school. Our schools
student body is bold
enough, brave enough and
cares enough to fight back
when they dont agree or
join along if they do.
Protests give students an
opportunity to think about
what they believe in and
voice their opinions. Both
are healthy and beneficial
to the unity of the KU
student body. Most see
protests as unnecessary
and eccentric, however
they do serve a purpose.
Protests create a chance for
students to unite in debate
and discussion, therefore
making a wiser and better
equipped student body.

For a few years, Ive been
bothered by the adoration
developed countries have
for the concept of growth.
It seems the imperative of
economic growth is more
politically powerful than the
president, and even worse,
it is treated as a self-evident,
necessary condition for the
health of the nation. Taken
further, it seems as though
peoples well-being depends
on a healthy economy, which
in turn requires its activities
be guided by constant
growth. Te small attention
paid to what the limitations
of growth should be worries
me and should worry you,
too.
When considering the
nature of economic growth
as imperative, you will
notice it is not inherently
bad. Growth is good for
capitalist economies and
the development of nations.
In a sense, it is logical that
it should occur, given the
increase of populations
around the world.
Unfortunately, though, it
has proven too easy for
the growth imperative to
sneakily defne our ethics of
how we ought to live.
For the sake of growth,
globalization has become
an established condition
of the world. Corporate
structures seem to control
many aspects of our
lives, but the government
doesnt do much when
corporations get things
wrong. For example, nearly
no one has been punished
for the fnancial crisis of
2008. Sadly, we forsake the
environment and the health
of local communities; when
those actions are called
into question, the apparent
necessity for growth justifes
them. Why? Because the
growth imperative creates
unnecessary competition,
whose ferce arena
disregards the consequences
of its actions. Yet, it is
difcult for the government
to stop and think about
the consequences of full-
fedged growth while also
feeling the need to be
economically competitive
on the international
stage. Unfortunately, this
means that as long as pure
growth reigns, concern for
well-being is cast aside.
Te growth imperative
will negatively afect us
in numerous ways
environmentally, socially,
politically. Current political
and economic structures do
a terrible job of addressing
such issues because they
consider those issues as
secondary to the question of
growth. Even the University
is a culprit of this dilemma
by constantly aiming
to improve its ranking
compared to other colleges,
perpetually raising tuition
rates in order to keep
up with the rest and
thats just one example. It
seems our administration
easily forgets it is frst and
foremost an academic
institution.
How can this mentality be
changed?
One concept that has
incredible potential as
a force for change is a
generational shif. As
members of the next
generation in line to be in
command of the world, we
must think carefully about
the consequences of current
political practices. We must
align the growth imperative
with a concern for our future
well-being, which inevitably
includes environmental
concerns, social concerns
and so on. By thinking
prudently, we will rope in
the growth imperative that
plagues not only the U.S.,
but the world.

Journalism school launches the Agency
Te KU School of
Journalism hired Janet Rose
eight weeks ago to lead
the Agency, a student-run
strategic communications
agency that ofers real-world
experience to students.
Made possible by donors
who have given $400,000 in
support, the Agency provides
strategic communications
services, including branding,
advertising, video production,
multimedia research and
social media for departments
and schools across the
University.
Tis is a real world agency,
and we will have real clients,
Rose said. In other words,
we will be just like a strategic
communications agency out
there in the world, and we
will develop campaigns, well
do research strategy, we will
do a lot of creative strategy
also and creative ideation and
things like that.
Rose said the goal for the
Agency is to give students
the opportunity to get the
experience of working in
a real agency. She said she
has worked in a number of
diferent agencies, and the
good thing about the Agency
is it will be a microcosm of a
larger agency.
When the Agency started,
a signup sheet was made
available for those interested
in working with the Agency.
Rose said within a week, about
80 people expressed interest
and another 60 soon followed.
For the past few weeks, the
Agency has been splitting
the students into groups and
then assigning those groups
to certain projects. Rose
said the work in a strategic
communications agency is
tremendously collaborative.
Eventually, the Agency hopes
to have a core group of about
30 people, who will represent
the main business facet of the
Agency.
Tere will be a variety of
requirements to get to [the
core group] in the Agency,
but at the same time, Im very
passionate about bringing
people in that are freshmen
and sophomores, Rose said.
Rose plans to have a
system where the 30 core
individuals will each mentor
someone who is a freshman
or sophomore and bring him
or her along through projects
to better educate them on the
process.
Rose said there is a lot of
talent here at the University.
She said the Agency will be
working with not only people
from the School of Journalism,
but also with people from
the design department and
business school and people
involved in statistics and
political science.
Rose said the Agency will
mostly be stafed by people
who are part of the School
of Journalism. Rose said for
now, people are involved as
volunteers, but eventually, the
Agency will have some paid
positions as well.
Rose said she believes
understanding the mindsets
of diferent consumers and
the target audience of each
project will ultimately lead
the Agency to reach its goal
of developing breakthrough
work that tells or shows a
story by bringing some kind
of idea to life.
We will also be interested
in how students think because
thats where these culture
trends generate, Rose said.
We take that and really
develop all the ideas by
coming up with a strategic
idea that gets you from one
thing to another.
Currently, the Agency is
working with around 10
clients and hopes to increase
that number as the Agency
grows.

Student spotlights within
the Agency:
LAUREN KATZ
Junior from Overland Park
KANSAN: What is your role
in the Agency and the general
idea of the projects you work
on?
KATZ: Im an account
executive and work with a
group of fve other account
executives. We work with our
clients on addressing their
marketing and advertising
needs and then work with the
other departments within the
agency to develop strategies
and solutions for them.
KANSAN: What is the most
rewarding part about working
with the Agency?
KATZ: Its been a really unique
experience because, not only
do we get to work with real
world clients, but we also get
to be part of something totally
new to KU. Its rewarding
because we basically get to see
our ideas come to life right
before our eyes. Tese ideas
range from client projects and
campaigns to building the
organizational infrastructure.
KANSAN: What are your
personal goals for working
with the Agency in the future?
KATZ: Im really looking
forward to learning the ins
and outs of an advertising
agency and gaining real world
experience. Its also really cool
that we get the opportunity to
learn how to build a business
from the ground up.
MICHAEL SHAW
Junior from Shawnee
KANSAN: What is your role
in the Agency and the general
idea of the projects you work
on?
SHAW: Te project Ive been
working on most is a creative
proposal for a client here
in Lawrence. I dont think I
can say much more due to
confdentiality. However, we
have also been spending a
lot of time talking about the
brand and feel of the agency
itself. Even though we have
already started pitching to
clients, we want to make sure
that our name, logo, aesthetic
and feel are timeless. Part of
the beauty and the danger of
what were doing is that the
coming and going of students
will keep the Agency fresh and
spry, but it could also lead to
inconsistency and the slipping
of standards. Te brand of
the Agency has to demand a
certain level of excellence. Or,
at the very least, we think it
should.

KANSAN: What is the most
rewarding part about working
with the Agency?
SHAW: Te most rewarding
part for me is feeling
connected to KU. I have
loved my experience at KU,
but I have never been very
involved on campus. With the
Agency, Im helping to leave a
tangible mark behind. I also
love that the Agency has given
me peace of mind about my
major. Ive spent a few nights
on campus until 10 or 11 at
night working on a proposal
for a client, and it doesnt even
feel like work.

KANSAN: What are your
personal goals for working
with the Agency in the future?
SHAW: Even though I
mentioned the building of a
sort of legacy, hopefully, for
me it all comes back to the
work we produce. Everyone
here at KU needs stuf on their
resume, from flm majors to
the English department, and I
think that fact alone gives us
incredible opportunities and
manpower that other agencies
might not have. To put it more
succinctly, my personal goal
for working with the agency
is to look back at our work
45 years from now and think,
Man, that was a killer idea.
ANDY MCCONNELL
Senior from Liberty, Mo.
KANSAN: What is your role
in the Agency and the general
idea of the projects you work
on?
MCCONNELL: Recently, we
started working with a client
that wanted to increase their
brand awareness within the
Lawrence community. Afer
conducting our own research,
our creative and account
management teams developed
a strategic communication
proposal to present to the
client. So far our work has
been focusing on the clients
social media usage. While
the client currently does work
with social media, it is lacking
some critical components. So
what we did and are doing is
developing a seamless social
media strategy plan that
connects all their social media
to help increase their reach,
awareness and brand image.
In addition to that, we have
been working to create a sort
of social media workshop
for our clients employees.
Some of the employees do not
have a strong social media
presence or arent aware of
the benefts behind using
social media. Our plan is to
show them how to utilize their
own social media in the most
efcient way. By doing this
and connecting the employees
social media with the
companys social media, it will
greatly expand their visibility
within the community and
advance their image.
KANSAN: What is the most
rewarding part about working
with the Agency?
MCCONNELL: Te most
rewarding thing I have
experienced working with
the Agency is the real world
knowledge that I have gained
from working with multiple
clients. It is a very rare and
unique opportunity that we
have been given, and I feel
the knowledge that everyone
has received since we have
begun is immeasurable. Tis
is such a new experience for
everyone, because not only
is it an actual agency, but it
is also an entrepreneurial
startup. It has been extremely
stimulating to learn all the
diferent components of both
the advertising agency world
and what it takes to start a
business. We have a great
group working on the Agency
and being a part of such a
diverse, but focused group
of people has been amazing.
Everyone involved is willing to
go the extra mile, not only for
the Agency, but for each other,
and I feel that is something
you dont experience everyday.
KANSAN: What are your
personal goals for working
with the Agency in the future?
MCCONNELL: Personally, I
would like to see our agency
grow and become nationally
recognized. I want businesses
and organizations that we
work with to be happy and
proud with their decision in
choosing us. Going forward
I want to help develop a
solid base for future students
that want to experience
agency work while attending
school. We want to build
a competitive, but team-
inspired environment that
truly adds to the education
of students. I have already
benefted from the experience
greatly, and it hasnt even been
a full semester. I can only
imagine how much personal
development it will give me
afer working for a year. I want
that for other students in the
future.

Student participates in second
national novel writing contest
As the frst day of November
passed, junior Donna Cra-
ven from Great Bend count-
ed about 800 words already
written for her novel; she has
49,200 words and 27 days to
go.
Its the second time Cra-
ven is participating in Na-
tional Novel Writing Month,
during which writers take on
the challenge of completing
a 50,000-word novel in 30
days. Participants who sub-
mit their novel to NaNoW-
riMos website by the end of
the month can win paperback
copies of their novel as well as
sofcover and Kindle format-
ted copies.
In 2012, Craven completed a
science-fction novel about a
mutant girl for NaNoWriMo.
Tis year, Craven is writing
about a girl in her frst year
of college and how she tries
to ft in with her new room-
mates crowd. Craven said she
found herself mainly writing
stories centered on a heroine
whom she can easily relate to,
and that she came up with the
subject by simply brainstorm-
ing and writing.
Ill picture a scene and
think, Tats interesting and
that could be an interest-
ing character, Craven said.
Once I have that scene and
that character, whether thats
the beginning of my story or
the fnal scene, everything
just revolves up to the point.
Craven said she became in-
terested in writing in middle
school, where she wrote short
stories for class. When she
came to college, a friend told
her about NaNoWriMo. Once
she tried it, she was hooked.
Its just a really fun expe-
rience. You have your word
goal of 50,000, and thats your
only rule, Craven said. So
its really fun to just be able to
have that limitless opportuni-
ty with what you want to do.
To make a 50,000-word nov-
el a reality by the end of the
month, she said other com-
mitments sufer in November.
In balancing writing on top
of a 15-hour work week and
15 credit hours, Craven said
relationships fall second to
writing.
Friends, family, they all take
a hit when it comes to spend-
ing time together because that
time goes towards writing,
Craven said. NaNoWriMo
involves lots of promises to
hang out in December afer
the pressure's of.
To avoid losing time, Craven
said she keeps a notebook or
her phone with her wherever
she goes so she can work on
her novel when she has spare
time throughout the day.
Ten or 15 minutes can be
100 words if youre useful
with it, Craven said.
Kristin Soper, Lawrence
Public Library events and
programming coordinator
and 2004 University grad-
uate, said the struggle with
this event is not only fnding
the time to write but also al-
lowing your-
self to write.
Soper is also
participating in NaNoWriMo.
A big challenge is turning
of your internal editor and
getting over that block, Soper
said. If you get behind, you
can use that as an excuse to
not complete your novel.
Soper said having a com-
munity of writers can help
writers fnish their novels.
Te Lawrence Public Library
holds write-ins every Tuesday
from 6-9 p.m. when partici-
pants can work together on
stories.
With the help of write-ins
and cofee, Craven plans on
fnishing her second novel
in NaNoWriMo. Although
Craven will have to sacrifce
much sleep during Novem-
ber, she said the feeling of
completing a novel is worth
the stress and that she hopes
to get some of her novels pub-
lished in the future.
Its a huge accomplishment
at the end of the month to
look back, and you have this
huge word document flled
with things that you wrote,
Craven said. None of those
things existed 30 days ago.

@MariaSanchezKU
You can tell yourself that, but I know that youre hurt, Kyra. Youre my
sister, I have a sense for these things. He stood up from the couch and
strode over to the other side of the kitchen counter. I couldnt look away
from him without it being a silent admission that he was right, but looking
at the pity in his face was painstaking. I am so sorry.
I shook my head. Nothing is your fault. Sometimes apologies arent about fault. I rolled my eyes as if to brush him of, but had to take a deep breath to
steady myself anyway. What do you want me to say, Ryan? I opened my-
self up. I shouldnt have. I just should have focused on school or whatever.
He may forgive you. He was crazy about you when he visited over
break. I could tell. And I heard him tell you he loved you, Ky. Seemed like
he meant it.
I cant indenitely wait for him, thats just pointless. Love isnt a feeling,
it doesnt make someone crazy, thats just naive. Love is a choice, and a
choice to continue to choose that person. And the worst part about it is
that one day, that person might choose not to love you anymore. They
dont fall out of love, thats a bunch of crap. They very neatly step out,
and youre just lef standing in the midst of the ruins, watching them walk
away. And he stepped out of our relationship. He didnt even say why?
At this I paused. Because he had, for a second, given me the briefest of
explanations. The things thats shes mentioned... the things thats shes
lled me in on, Kyra. I just cant believe some of them, I dont want to. But
it all makes sense. The questions he would ask out of the blue. How she
would know details about us before I told her. The smile across her face
when she would see us together - was that happy, or smug? Oh my gosh.
He trusted her more than me.
What?
She did this. She did this, Ryan. Shes been playing us all along. Seting
us up. All of our dates. Giving me advice. Befriending him, in the process.
We both trusted her. We were just her chess pieces.
Who are you talking about?
Chelsea.

CHANDLER BOESE/KANSAN
Members of MACURH, Midwest Afliate of College and University Residence Halls, present at a conference in the
Kansas Memorial Union this past weekend. It is the rst time the event has taken place in Lawrence since 1993.
Tough the World Series
failed to end in a Royals
championship, Lawrence
businesses were winners all
around. Now that the MLB
season is over, businesses
such as Kansas Sampler/
Rally House, Bullwinkles and
Jefersons are looking back
and refecting on the success
they experienced during the
Royals playof run.
Kansas Sampler/Rally
House is an example of a
sports apparel store that
found themselves selling
much more Royals gear than
usual.
Te stores sales increased
by 2,100 percent during the
week of the World Series as
compared to a normal week,
store manager Candace
Anstaett said. Te most
popular items were the
Royals World Series cap and
the Always October hoodies.
Anstaett said she was
impressed with the amount
of Royals gear sold, especially
to be used for Halloween.
In past years, weve always
had kids coming in asking
for KU jerseys so they can
be KU basketball players for
Halloween, Anstaett said.
Tis year, we got handfuls of
calls daily asking for Royals
jerseys so kids could dress up
as Royals players.
Bullwinkles also
experienced success both
monetarily and by increasing
their number of customers,
manager Shelda Jewell said.
Jewell credits some of the
success to the Bulls game
night drink specials certain
blue drinks were signifcantly
cheaper than normal.
We easily doubled our
profts on game nights,
Jewell said. We also saw
anywhere from 25 to 100
more customers than usual
per game.
Jefersons experienced
similar success, despite not
adding any new specials on
food or drinks. Jefersons
manager Tim Barnes
especially noticed more
customers on nights that
tend to be slow on regular
weeknights.
Tuesdays are usually pretty
slow for us, but when there
were games on Tuesdays, we
defnitely saw more business
than usual, Barnes said.
Tough the World Series
and MLB season have come
to an end, these businesses
along with many more hope
that the success they saw
over the past few weeks will
continue going forward.
Even though the Royals
didnt pull out the fnal win,
many fans still came in the
day and week afer shopping
for Royals merchandise to
support the team, Anstaett
said. Many fans have
continued to want Royals
gear to show how proud they
are of their team.

Midwest housing conference comes to campus
Lawrence businesses reect on
success during Royals playoff run
HOMESICK PAGE 3A
Tis past weekend, 500 stu-
dents from all over the Midwest
came to the University for the
MACURH (Midwest Afliate
of College and University Resi-
dence Halls) conference, which
hasnt taken place in Lawrence
since 1993.
Te conference is intended to
bring together students from
diferent universities and hous-
ing organizations for a weekend
of networking and leadership
development, said Laura Weh-
meier, vice-chair of the confer-
ence and a junior from Gard-
ner.
A team of KU students has
been planning the conference
for the past two years. To bring
it to the University, they had to
prepare a bid, or a plan, for the
conference and be chosen to
host it.
We spent a year in the bid-
ding process, presented, re-
ceived the bid and then spent
this last year actually planning
the conference, Wehmeier
said.
I went to my frst MACURH
in 2012 at the University of
Nebraska-Kearney, and thats
where I was inspired to host
it, Wehmeier said. So myself,
along with [conference chair-
woman] Taylor Hanna, brought
the idea to KU and bid for the
conference and put a staf to-
gether.
MACURH is a part of NA-
CURH, the National Associa-
tion of College and University
Residence Halls. NACURH
includes national organizations
like National Residence Hall
Honorary and college-based
organizations like the Associ-
ation of University Residence
Halls. NACURH is also the
largest nonproft, student-run
organization in the world.
Five-hundred delegates from
35 other schools arrived on the
Oct. 31. Te delegates are stu-
dents who are involved in some
aspect of student housing, from
hall presidents to resident advi-
sors.
Our theme here is piecing
together the bigger picture. We
have a puzzle, and theres four
pieces to our puzzle. Its tra-
dition, passion, diversity and
teamwork, Wehmeier said.
We basically want each dele-
gate and each delegation, while
theyre here, to refect on those
throughout their time at the
conference.
During the opening ceremo-
ny of the conference, Blane
Harding, director of the Saba-
tini Multicultural Center, spoke
about one of the puzzle pieces
diversity. He talked to the
delegates about how they can
make residents feel accepted for
their diferences.
When youre talking about
diversity, its the individual that
comes frst, not the culture,
Harding said.
Over the course of the week-
end, students had chances to
get to know each other with
social events, like the frst-ev-
er MACURH drag show. Tey
also had opportunities to learn
many diferent skills, from
putting together RA boards to
building a resume, Wehmeier
said.
Saturday also included some
boardroom meetings in which
diferent groups discussed pol-
icy changes. Wehmeier said
these changes can be anything
from ofcer term limits to in-
clusion of gender-neutral bath-
rooms in residence halls.
Te conference ended Satur-
day night with a closing ban-
quet and dance.

ship at frst. But its starting to
get better, she said.
Sarah Kirk, director of the
KU Psychological Clinic, said
anxiety, depression and sad-
ness are common efects of
homesickness. She advises
getting adequate sleep, eating
well and exercising to help
prevent hitting real lows.
She said she knows it can
be hard for some students to
adopt a physical ftness rou-
tine.
Some people are intimidat-
ed by the Rec Center, for ex-
ample, Kirk said. Its a very
nice, big place, but they just
arent quite ready to immerse
themselves in that just yet. I
think their health can be af-
fected because they might not
engage in some of the healthy
habits they were because they
werent quite sure how to es-
tablish that here whether it
is joining a gym, getting into
intramurals or going to the
Rec Center.
Kirk also said its not unusu-
al for students to eat and sleep
poorly in college, getting them
out of the healthier routines
many had when they lived at
home.
A lot of [students] end up
waking when its sunniest out-
side, they wake midday, Kirk
said. Ten they stay up late at
night, which then contributes
to health issues and sleep dis-
ruption, but it can also con-
tribute to depression through
not having as much experi-
ence with the sunlight cycle.
For Tess Virden, a freshman
from Golden, Colo., the best
salve has been making new
friends. Virden said the frst
two weeks at the University
were very difcult because she
came without knowing any-
one from her hometown. She
spent a lot of time with her
roommate, and since then has
formed strong relationships
with the other students living
on her foor in Oliver Hall.
When it comes to her fa-
vorite experience at the Uni-
versity so far, she credits the
closeness of her foor when it
comes to combating feelings of
homesickness.
We go down and eat din-
ner together, do homework
together and just spend a lot
of time as a group. By getting
away, I have made a whole new
group of friends, in a new and
diferent place, Virden said.
Ryan Meek, a third year res-
ident assistant at Ellsworth
Hall, said Virdens investment
in new friends is what he en-
courages most. He also tries to
help students rely less on oth-
ers and become more self-re-
liant.
When you get your degree
and head out into the real
world, your parents, brothers
and sisters wont always be
there, Meek said. I have to
get them to understand that
and gain a sense of indepen-
dence.

Kansas State football coach Bill
Snyder lands in political pileup
MANHATTAN Popular
Kansas State football coach Bill
Snyder found himself in the
middle of a nasty late-in-the-
game political pileup afer he
was flmed praising incumbent
Republican Sen. Pat Roberts
and the video was used in a
campaign ad.
Roberts, a Kansas State alum-
nus and devout fan of the team
and its coach, is locked in a close
re-election battle with indepen-
dent challenger Greg Orman.
How better to score a late cam-
paign edge than to seize on Sny-
der, who is credited with turn-
ing around one of the nation's
worst major college football
programs? Snyder is so revered
that both the stadium where
the team plays and the highway
leading into Manhattan from
Interstate 70 are named afer
him.
In the ad, Snyder is asked who
he would vote for. "My good
friend Pat Roberts, of course,"
he replies, adding that Roberts
has worked hard for the state.
But the coach's unusual foray
into politics raised eyebrows at
the university.
Kansas State President Kirk
Schulz reminded school em-
ployees not to endorse political
candidates and instructed staf
to contact the Roberts campaign
to take down the ad, according
to an email given to Te As-
sociated Press and other news
outlets.
Schulz also described Snyder
in an email as "unaware it was
going to be used in such a fash-
ion and was apologetic for the
resulting issues."
Roberts campaign spokes-
man Corry Bliss said Sat-
urday that "we haven't been
contacted by the university."
And Snyder said afer the
No. 11 Wildcats' 48-14 vic-
tory over Oklahoma State on
Saturday night that he would
prefer that the advertisement
no longer run.
"I made a mistake," Snyder
said, when questioned about
the endorsement by Te As-
sociated Press. "I'm not going
to delve into it, how exactly
everything happened. I made
a mistake. I embarrassed the
university. Tat's my respon-
sibility. Tat's my error."
Fans of the program quick-
ly came to Snyder's defense
Saturday.
Ross Jensby, a 23-year-old
senior at Kansas State, said
he does not fault Snyder for
the statement supporting
Roberts when approached in
Manhattan on Saturday.
"He can do what he wants,"
Jensby said. "I don't think he
was trying to do anything
wrong."
Kathy Johnston, a 57-year-
old Wichita resident and
Kansas State football fan,
said she was surprised by
Snyder's endorsement. But
she said it would not sway
her vote, which will go to
Orman.
Meanwhile, Orman blamed
Roberts for the fap.
"Tat's just once again an-
other demonstration of how
the Roberts campaign is will-
ing to distort the record and
ultimately use people, as they
have with coach Snyder," Or-
man said.

ANDY LARKIN/KANSAN
Kansas senior forward Chelsea Gardner puts up a shot against a Fort Hays State defender as senior forward
Bunny Williams looks on. Sundays game was the rst of two exhibition games to start the season.
PLAYER OF THE GAME:
Senior forward Chelsea
Gardner led the Jayhawks with
23 points and a game-high
10 rebounds. Gardner isnt a
stranger to double-doubles,
as this game marked her 19th.
Gardner is an impact player.
Even Fort Hays State coach
Tony Hobson said his team
had to start double-teaming
Gardner in order to take her
out of her rhythm a little bit,
but even with the extra atten-
tion from Fort Hays she man-
aged to control at both ends of
the court.

PLAYER WHO
STRUGGLED:
It was tough to fnd a prob-
lem with the Jayhawks on
Sunday, but if one looks hard,
sophomore guard Keyla Mor-
gan could have had better
luck from the feld, being 0-4
in feld goal attempts and 0-2
from the three-point line.
Morgan more than made up
for the miscues by stacking
up six boards total, with fve
of them being defensive re-
bounds.

UNSUNG HERO:
Freshman guard Terriell
Bradley came of the bench
to have a great opening game
for the season with 10 total
baskets. Terriells aggres-
siveness was something the
Jayhawks needed in order to
keep a steady rhythm, which
will be key this season. At the
postgame press conference,
coach Bonnie Henrickson
commented on Bradleys ag-
gressiveness.
Shes a playmaker and she
fnishes at the rim. I was im-
pressed about how aggressive
she was, Henrickson said.

PLAYER KANSAS
COULDNT CONTAIN:
Fort Hays State center Kate
Lehman had a great perfor-
mance with 17 points and
six rebounds, and went 6-11
from the field goal range.
Lehman helped the Tigers
keep pace with the Jayhawks
in the second half by scoring
11 points. A very impressive
performance from a great
competitor.

MOVING FORWARD:
The Jayhawks need to
play defense with their feet,
avoid reach-in fouls and
have better control over the
ball. With 21 personal fouls
and 24 turnovers, coach
Henrickson says its on the
staff to teach the team how
to keep the other team off
of the free throw line. The
team also needs to be more
aware of their surroundings
and have an eye down the
court at all times. There were
many missed opportunities
throughout the game due to
bad visibility on the ball han-
dlers part.
FIRST HALF SUMMARY:
Te Jayhawks had a solid
season opening frst half, rak-
ing in 43 points and 25 total
rebounds. Gardner won the
opening tip, leading to an
easy layup that set the tone
for the game. Gardner started
the game out strong, scoring
12 points for the Jayhawks.
Kansas had 12 turnovers
while Fort Hays State had 10.

SECOND HALF SUMMARY:
Fort Hays State stepped onto
the court as a brand new team
in the second half, keeping
pace with the lady Jayhawks,
both scoring 30 points. Kansas
and Fort Hays State scrapped
for a loose ball with players
diving all over the foor, then
the Jayhawks regained control
and passed it over to Gardner
for the easy layup. Tat play
is a prime example as to how
the Jayhawks had the edge the
whole game. Fort Hays State
guard Chelsea Mason was
4-12 from the feld goal range
and 2-7 from the arc. She was
the second highest scorer for
the Tigers, one point behind
Lehman. Gardner was 5-11
from the feld goal range and
scored 11 total points and
seven rebounds. Senior guard
Natalie Knight had six points
and three rebounds.

ANDY LARKIN/KANSAN
Senior Guard Asia Boyd ghts to the basket between two Fort Hays State defenders during the rst half of the
Jayhawks rst exhibition game of the season.
Te strongest suit in the
Kansas ofense has been the
running game this season.
Kansas averaged 151 rushing
yards per game, but the No.
12 Baylor Bears shut down
the Kansas ground game Sat-
urday.
Te Jayhawks rushed as
a team for a season-low 16
rushing yards in the 60-14
loss to Baylor.
Te Jayhawks started the
game weakened at the run-
ning back position as ju-
nior running back DeAndre
Mann didnt make the trip to
Waco, Texas, because of an
ankle injury. Freshman Co-
rey Avery was the lead back,
leaving the Jayhawks without
a short-yardage power back.
Avery struggled to be a
three-down back with 11
carries for 18 yards. Avery
rushed for 1.6 yards per car-
ry and didnt have a single
rush over seven yards, which
were both season-lows for the
freshman.
In the absence of Mann,
senior wide receiver Tony
Pierson, who averaged two
carries per game, handled
nine carries from the back-
feld. Piersons 31 yards on
the ground led the Jayhawks.
Te more carries Pierson saw,
the less he lined up at wide
receiver. Pierson caught one
pass for 1 yard.
Pierson and Avery arent
bruising backs and arent
efective in short yardage.
On a 4th-and-3 in the third
quarter, ofensive coordinator
John Reagan replaced Avery
with senior linebacker Ben
Heeney, who played running
back in high school. Heeney
was stopped behind the line
of scrimmage for his frst
carry of the season and his
college career. Reagan was
trying anything to get the of-
fense moving.
Te Baylor ofense out-
rushed Kansas by 310 yards.
Baylors backup quarterback
Seth Russell rushed for more
yards than the entire Kansas
team and all his carries came
in the fourth quarter. One
of those carries was a 4-yard
touchdown run.
Reagan decided to focus on
the passing game, while the
rushing attack failed to hit
100 yards for the frst game
this season. Reagan was
forced to pass because Kan-
sas had to continuously play
from behind.
Baylor took a commanding
13-0 lead with nine minutes
lef in the frst quarter, which
could be a reason for Kansas
throwing 15 times in the frst
quarter. Once Baylor broke
out into a two-score lead, the
Jayhawks had a tough time
keeping up if you couldnt
tell by the score.
Te only bright spot about
the game was the play of red-
shirt junior Michael Cum-
mings. Beside his two fum-
bles, he completed 21 of 30
for 288 and two touchdowns.
Cummings out-threw Baylor
quarterback Bryce Petty, but
Petty only played three quar-
ters.

Gardners double-double
leads to lopsided victory
Te Kansas womens bas-
ketball team opened its sea-
son with an exhibition game
against Fort Hays State on
Sunday at Allen Fieldhouse.
Te Jayhawks were simply too
much for the Tigers, as Kan-
sas led wire-to-wire, earning a
21-point victory.
Chelsea Gardner took over
the game right away, scoring
eight of the frst 13 points for
the Jayhawks. Gardners early
productivity caused Fort Hays
State coach Tony Hobson to
commit to double-teaming,
and at times even triple-team-
ing, her in the post, which was
not something he expected to
do coming into the game.
Were not accustomed to
ever double-teaming in the
post [because] Kate Lehman
is the top post player in our
conference and maybe in Di-
vision II basketball, Hobson
said in the post game press
conference. But she doesnt
play against players like Chel-
sea Gardner very ofen, so we
wanted to give her a little help.
Despite facing multiple de-
fenders, Gardner would end
up with 23 points and 10 re-
bounds in 26 minutes of play.
Afer the game, Gardner said
she was pleased with how she
had played against the added
pressure.
I thought I handled it well,
Gardner said. [I was] just
looking out and trying not to
score over the double team,
[but rather] making the right
passes out to my teammates.
Gardner wasnt the only one
to make a big impact in the
game. Freshman Lauren Al-
dridge joined Gardner and
three other seniors in the start-
ing lineup, and she played fair-
ly well. Aldridge scored seven
points, but it was her control
of the ofense that really im-
pressed Kansas coach Bonnie
Henrickson.
[Aldridge] played with con-
fdence, ran a good ofense
and made good decisions,
Henrickson said. [She] called
plays more than I thought [she
would]; Ive had young point
guards who looked to me [to
call a play] more, but she just
went.
It wasnt a perfect night for
the Jayhawks. Tey ended with
24 turnovers, a mark they hit
just one time last year in a loss
against TCU. Nerves may have
played a role in committing so
many errors, as Kansas three
freshman guards accounted
for nine of the teams 24 turn-
overs.
Tere were a little nerves,
said freshman guard Terriell
Bradley afer the game. [It
wasnt until] my frst shot fell
that I got into a little rhythm.
Te Jayhawks will look to im-
prove on their ball handling,
and theyll have their frst op-
portunity to do so Sunday, as
theyll take on Washburn at
Allen Fieldhouse. Te last time
those two teams met, the Jay-
hawks won by 22, as Angel Go-
odrich recorded 11 points, six
assists and six steals. Te game
against Washburn will be the
last exhibition contest for Kan-
sas before the Jayhawks open
regular season play against the
South Dakota Coyotes, who
went 19-14 last year.

Alex Smith carries Chiefs
to victory over Jets, 24-10
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Alex
Smith insisted he was looking
for Dwayne Bowe in the end
zone, a rarity considering the
Chiefs quarterback has yet to
throw a touchdown pass to a
wide receiver this season.
What happened next in
their 24-10 victory over the
Jets on Sunday was even rarer.
Te pass was batted at the
line of scrimmage by Jets
linebacker Calvin Pace. It
bounced right into the hands
of tight end Anthony Fasa-
no, who had been blocked
to the ground, and he rolled
over across the goal-line for a
touchdown that extended the
Chiefs' lead to two scores.
"I don't know what to say,"
Smith said, smiling. "A freaky
play."
Just the kind of play that's
been going Kansas City's
way during a three-game win
streak and the kind that
has been going against New
York during its eight-game
skid.
Te Jets' losing streak is
their longest since 1996,
when they went 1-15 in their
fnal year under Rich Kotite.
Te franchise has never lost
nine in a row, an embarrass-
ment embattled coach Rex
Ryan and his troops will try
to avoid next Sunday against
Pittsburgh.
"I thought it was typical of
how this season's gone for
us," Ryan said of the bizarre
bounce that led to Fasano's
touchdown. "Tat's what I
thought."
Smith fnished with 199
yards and two touchdowns
passing, and Jamaal Charles
ran for another score for the
Chiefs (5-3), who won for
the ffh time in six games
on the same day that former
running back Priest Holmes
was inducted into their ring
of honor.
Starting his frst game with
the Jets (1-8) in place of Geno
Smith, Michael Vick threw
for 196 yards and a touch-
down. He briefy lef early in
the fourth quarter afer tak-
ing a massive hit from the
Chiefs' Josh Mauga and walk-
ing unsteadily of the feld,
but returned to fnish.
Smith was inactive with
a shoulder injury, so Matt
Simms had to play one series.
"My head hit the ground,
but it was cool," Vick said.
"Initially, I was dinged for a
minute. But I respect the NFL
rules and the concussion pro-
tocol. I went through it. I took
all the appropriate steps and I
passed all the tests and I came
back."
New York actually moved
the ball well through gusty
conditions, utilizing Percy
Harvin in the running and
passing games. But the Jets
kept misfring deep in Chiefs
territory, settling for a feld
goal just before halfime and
then turning it over on downs
at the Kansas City 3 early in
the fourth quarter Vick
was injured on that fourth-
down play.
In all, the Jets were stopped
on fourth down three times
in the fourth quarter.
"We had some opportuni-
ties and we didn't capitalize
on them," said Vick, who
will start next Sunday against
Pittsburgh. "Whenever that
happens, and the other team
does capitalize on theirs, you
don't fnding yourself win-
ning the game."
Te Chiefs set the tempo
from the opening drive, mov-
ing 81 yards in relative ease.
Charles was the workhorse,
carrying six times and cap-
ping the drive with a 1-yard
TD plunge.
Afer the Chiefs forced
three-and-out, it took them
just seven more plays to score
again this time on a play
that encapsulated the way ev-
erything has been going right
for Kansas City, and the way
everything has been going
wrong for New York.
With frst-and-goal at the
2-yard line, Smith's pass was
knocked down by Pace. But
the nice defensive play sent
the ball right to Fasano, who
caught the inadvertent pass
on his rump, rolled over the
goal line and gave the Chiefs
a stunning if not humor-
ous touchdown for a 14-0
lead.
Meanwhile, the Chiefs' de-
fense was getting afer Vick
every time he dropped to
pass.
Justin Houston, who had
4 1/2 sacks of Vick when he
faced the Eagles a year ago,
had two more on the elusive
quarterback Sunday. Defen-
sive tackle Dontari Poe also
tracked Vick down for a sack,
all before Mauga knocked
him from the game with his
crushing blow in the fourth
quarter.
Te only bright spot for the
Jets was the play of Harvin,
who caught 11 passes for
129 yards in his second game
since getting traded from Se-
attle.

AARON GROENE/KANSAN
Kansas cross country runners get ready to begin the Big 12 Championship meet at Rim Rock Farm on Saturday. Junior Jacob Morgan placed fth,
earning him a spot on the All-Big 12 team.
F
ollowing the 60-14 embarrass-
ment to No. 13 Baylor in Waco,
Texas, coach Clint Bowen and
the Kansas football team face Iowa
State in Lawrence on Saturday. Te
Cyclones are coming of their own
disappointing loss Saturday, sufering
a 59-14 loss to No. 18 Oklahoma at
home.
Te matchup Saturday could very
well be the Jayhawks last legitimate
chance to pick up a conference win
this season. It also could be the last
chance for Bowen to bolster his case to
return as head coach next year.
In Bowens four losses as interim
head coach, he has made a few suc-
cessful moves, one being the quarter-
back change from Montell Cozart to
Michael Cummings.
In Bowens four losses as interim
head coach, he has brought a new-
found enthusiasm to practices and
on the sidelines during games. Tis
has boosted team morale on and of
the feld, which has lead to stronger
performances in games.
His move to bench quarterback
Montell Cozart and play Michael
Cummings has been for the better,
with Cummings throwing for over 230
yards in three games as the starter.
Before Saturday, Kansas had yet to
be truly blown out with Bowen at the
helm. Te team played opponents
competitively, something Weis lacked
in his two losses this season (Duke
41-3, Texas 23-0). Bowens four games
have been against much stifer com-
petition. Tese include close losses to
Texas Tech and a ranked Oklahoma
State team, where the Jayhawks were
within six points in the fourth quarter
of both games.
Iowa State sits at 0-5 in the Big 12,
and 2-6 overall the same as Kansas.
Te game will be in Lawrence this
year, and I say this may be the last shot
for a Jayhawk win because of their
three games following Iowa State.
Tey host No. 7 TCU, then travel to
Norman, Okla., and Manhattan to face
Oklahoma and the ninth-ranked Kan-
sas State Wildcats, debatably three of
Kansas toughest games of the season.
Saturday will be a battle of the
bottom two teams in the Big 12, and
the loser will likely fnish last in the
Big 12 at the conclusion of the season.
If the Jayhawks were to fall, theyd be
well on their way to a ffh-straight last
place fnish in the Big 12. It would also
likely lead to the third season in fve
years where the team fnished without
a conference win.
Regardless how much more compet-
itive the team has played since Weis
departure, Bowen has yet to take home
a W as the Kansas head coach. If he
wants to return next year, he needs to
win, at the very least, one game in the
fnal four of 2014.

named to the All-Big 12
team for his ffh place fnish,
stayed with front-runners for
nearly the entire race. Mor-
gan was pushed by his team-
mates, senior James Wilson
and freshman Chris Melgares,
who both found themselves
ahead of Morgan throughout
the race. Morgan fnished just
eight seconds out of the lead,
with an 8k time of 24:16.2.
Following Morgan was Wil-
son, who fnished 21st over-
all, with a time of 24:49.7,
and Melgares, who fnished
nine spots later with a time of
25:00.2 Also fnishing in the
top fve fnishers for Kansas
were sophomore Tyler Yunk
and freshman Carson Vickroy.
Yunk took 38th with a 25:24.1
time, while Vickroys time of
25:37.5 was good enough for
a 45th-place fnish.
On the womens side, soph-
omore Nashia Baker led the
Jayhawks the whole time.
Baker fnished 36th with a
21:40.7, and had a fellow
Jayhawk, sophomore Rachel
Simon, on her tail for the du-
ration of the race. Simon fn-
ished only 0.4 seconds behind
Baker, with a time of 21:41.1
for a 37th place fnish. Just
behind Baker and Simon was
sophomore Kelli McKenna,
who placed 40th with a 6K
time of 21:46.1.
Following the frst three
sophomores were sophomore
Courtney Coppinger and
freshman Alaina Shroeder.
Coppinger placed 45th with
a 21:52.5 time, while Schro-
eders 21:58.6 fnished 50th.
Overall, the women took
eighth place at the Big 12
Championship.
From here, the Jayhawks
are beginning to prepare for
the NCAA Midwest Regional
Championships, which will be
hosted by Bradley University
in Peoria, Ill., on Friday.

Kansas volleyball loses
to TCU in ve-set match
Both Kansas and TCU
volleyball came into Saturday
with impressive wins in the
teams previous matches, but
only TCU was able to see its
winning streak last another
day.
Te Jayhawks (16-7, 4-5)
swept and handled TCU
with ease two weeks ago in
Lawrence, but lost Saturday
in Fort Worth, Texas, losing
25-19, 25-18, 20-25, 23-25,
16-18. Kansas is now 0-5 in
fve-set matches this season.
Te win for the Horned Frogs
(14-10, 4-6) was the teams
second in a row afer losing
four straight from Oct. 11-22.
For Kansas, the loss
meant falling below .500 in
conference play again this
season. Te loss was also the
teams second in its last three
Big 12 matches.
Tere were diferent
blocking formations and
diferent things, but we were
just making unforced errors,
coach Ray Bechard said. So
disappointing to play at that
level in the frst two sets, and
then not be able to sustain it.
Albeit in a loss, one of the
best aspects about this Kansas
team is that all 14 players can
make a diference.
Sophomore middle Janae
Hall hadnt played in a match
since Oct. 10 against Baylor,
but took advantage of a starting
opportunity by fnishing with
13 kills on 23 attacks, good for
a .391 hitting percentage.
Janae was great ofensively,
Bechard said. Obviously,
we could have done more
defensively, but she held up
her end of the deal ofensively.
Kansas breezed to win
both the frst and second sets
behind a strong .433 hitting
percentage. However, the
team fnally found a worthy
opponent in TCU during set
three.
Down 2-9 and 9-16, the
Jayhawks kept chipping away
at TCUs early lead until
closing within three points at
19-22.
Unfortunately, the early
defcit proved to be too much
to overcome, as TCU closed
out the set winning three of
the last four points.
Set four featured what any
volleyball fan hopes for and
what the match had lacked:
a back and forth, point-for-
point battle.
Once again, TCU was able
to build just enough of a
lead at 24-20 to secure a win,
though not before a Jayhawk
comeback pushed it to 23-24.
Fifh sets have not been kind
to Kansas so far this season,
with the team losing all four of
its chances to date, and TCU
was no exception.
Te Jayhawks had the match
within grasp twice at 15-14
and 16-15, but were unable to
hold on afer a service error
by Addison Barry tied it at 15,
and a TCU kill tied it up at 16.
Afer Chelsea Albers
attacking error put TCU up
17-16, the Horned Frogs
closed out the set and match
18-16 with a block on Kansas
sophomore middle Tayler
Soucie.

Swimming and diving wins
rst Big 12 dual since 2012
AMIE JUST
@Amie_Just
Five diferent Jayhawks took
home the gold in at least two
events Saturday to put the
Kansas swimming and diving
team over Texas Christian
University (172-124) and
North Dakota (217-79).
Te win against TCU was
the frst time Kansas has
defeated a Big 12 opponent
in a dual meet since 2012.
Te last time it happened was
when Kansas beat TCU in
the Horned Frogs inaugural
Big 12 season. Chances to beat
conference opponents are
rare, since Kansas doesnt face
every conference team each
year, except TCU and Iowa
State.
Junior Chelsie Miller set
the pace by winning three
individual races: 200-yard
butterfy, 500-yard freestyle
and 200-yard IM.
We havent had a Big 12 win
in a long time, so it was really
nice to beat TCU, Miller said.
I was really happy. My 200
fy was a second slower, but
for this time of the season
that time is pretty good. I was
really impressed with my 500
free. I dont think Ive ever
broken fve minutes during
the season, especially this
early in the season.
Junior Bryce Hinde,
sophomore Graylyn Jones,
sophomore Yulya Kuchkarova
and junior Haley Molden all
won two individual events
Saturday.
Hinde touched the wall frst
in 100-yard and 200-yard
breaststroke. Jones won both
the 1-meter and 3-meter diving
events. Kuchkarova fnished
frst in both the 100-yard and
200-yard backstroke. Molden
took home wins in both
the 100-yard and 200-yard
freestyle.
We wanted to make an
improvement from last week
to this week in a couple of
areas and I feel like we were
able to do that across the
board, Campbell said. We
had a lot of people swim well
above where they were last
week, which is good and the
improvement we wanted to
see.
Te Jayhawks won all but
three events Saturday.
TCUs sophomore Julia-
Grace Sanders cruised
to victory in the 50-yard
freestyle. TCUs freshman
Emily Gibson outtouched
Kansas senior Deanna Marks
in the 100-yard butterfy.
TCUs 400-yard freestyle relay
of senior Ashley Alspaugh,
junior Carley Stevens,
junior Sara Brzozowski and
sophomore Ashley Dyke took
home the gold.
Next up for Kansas is its
dual against Illinois. Te
Illini come to the Robinson
Natatorium on Saturday with
the frst event set to take place
at 1 p.m.

When Sporting Kansas City
began its 2014 playof run, it
wanted to start an entirely
new season. For the frst 77
minutes of soccer against
the New York Red Bulls, it
looked like the team had
done just that, with a 1-0
lead at that time.
Ten the team was remind-
ed of its depleted nature:
injuries, bruises and fatigue
from a packed late-season
schedule. Tose things,
along with New York strik-
er Bradley Wright-Phillips,
sent Kansas City winding in
the last 12 minutes of play.
Te 29-year-old Golden
Boot winner netted two goals
in the closing minutes of the
Eastern Conference play-in
round to give him 29 goals
on the season. When the f-
nal whistle blew, New York
had punched its ticket to the
Eastern Conference semif-
nals to face D.C. United with
a 2-1 win against Sporting
KC, while the Blues hopes
of a repeat title were dimin-
ished.
For Kansas City, it was
a rocky, drawn-out sea-
son marred with injuries, a
packed schedule of games
and international duty,
which forced players to start
at nonsensical positions
through the duration. But it
was a season that also saw
Dom Dwyer emerge as an
elite goal-scorer in the MLS.
Heres 10 things we learned
from the season, including a
glimpse into next season.
SEASON-ENDING INJURIES:
Te injury problem for
manager Peter Vermes took
its toll before the season
even got into full swing.
Center back Ike Opara was
diagnosed with a chondral
defect in his right ankle in
April, a month before start-
ing wing back Chance Myers
ruptured his Achilles tendon
both defenders missed
the remainder of the season.
Homegrown Kevin Ellis and
Brazilian transfer Igor Juli-
ao were more heavily relied
upon with Opara and Myers
out of the mix.
INCONSISTENT GOALKEEPING:
Afer winning the MLS
Cup in 2013, Jimmy Nielsen
retired, leaving a big gap be-
tween the pipes for Sporting
KC. Eric Kronberg, Andy
Gruenebaum and Jon Kem-
pin all got shufed around
in the goal this season. Kro-
nberg started the season
in goal, and at the halfway
mark of 2014, led the league
in shutouts and goals against
before breaking his fnger in
training in July. His return
was shaky as he allowed two
goals in each of the fnal four
contests while Gruenebaum
was sidelined with a ham-
string injury.
THE DECLINE OF
THE BACK LINE:
At one point this year, Matt
Besler and Aurelien Collin
were considered the best
pair of center backs in MLS.
But over the fnal stretch
of the season, they strug-
gled mightily, especially
against Wright-Phillips, who
notched four goals in the last
two games against Sporting
KC. Part of that could be due
to Beslers thigh injury and
Collins ankle injury, which
had both missing time in
early October, or the fact that
the full back line only played
four games together this sea-
son. But, regardless, their
play was, without a doubt,
subpar late in the season,
where the team didnt record
a clean sheet in any of its last
three games.
PLAYERS ON
INTERNATIONAL DUTY:
Beslers aforementioned
thigh injury was picked up in
international duty with the
United States team against
Honduras in October, and
he played with the team
during the World Cup in the
summer. Midfelder Graham
Zusi also played with Besler
on the national team. Te
team was 2-3-2 while Zusi
and Besler were on interna-
tional duty.
BESLER AND ZUSI SIGNED
EXTENSIONS WITH THE CLUB:
Tis news came right af-
ter solid World Cup per-
formances from both of
the Sporting Kansas City
centerpieces. Each of them
were receiving plenty of in-
ternational attention before
Sporting KC signed them to
deals through 2018. Each are
due $650,000 next season
a major discount for Kansas
City.
THERE WAS NO LATE-SEASON
MOMENTUM THIS YEAR:
Sporting Kansas City went
into last years playof run
without a single loss in Oc-
tober. Tat led to the team
hoisting the MLS Cup. Tis
season, the blues were 1-1-
4 across all competitions in
their last seven games. Tat
led to a late season collapse
which saw the team fall from
the No. 2 seed to the No. 5 in
just over two weeks.
THIS TEAM PLAYED A LOT OF
GAMES THIS SEASON:
Sporting KC played 44
games this year from March
to October, two more than in
2013. Tat might not sound
signifcant, but it mattered
down the stretch. Te team
played fve games in the fnal
20 days of the season for an
average of a match every four
days. Couple that with the
injuries to Benny Feilhaber,
Juliao and Gruenebaum late
in the season, and the team
had little chance for success
with the amount of fatigue
on its shoulders.
SPORTING KC WAS REALLY
GOOD ON THE ROAD IN 2014:
It was the second straight
year that Sporting KC real-
ly showed out on the road,
posting the only positive
goal diference on the road
in the entire Eastern Con-
ference in both seasons. Te
team was 8-1-8 in MLS away
games, but only 6-6-5 when
coming back home. Te
team notched more points
for standings on the road
(25) than it did at Sporting
Park (24).
DOM DWYER IS IN AN ELITE
TIER OF MLS GOAL SCORER:
Some could have seen Dw-
yer coming on at the end of
last season, but its unlikely
that anyone saw this explo-
sion coming from Dwyer.
Te 24-year-old notched 22
goals in regular-season MLS
play, second behind only
Wright-Phillips in the Gold-
en Boot chase. He set new
team records for goals in
an MLS season and in goals
across all competitions (24).
MOVING BACK TO THE
WEST FOR 2015:
Te expansion of the MLS
sent Sporting KC and Dal-
las FC packing for the West.
It means a tough schedule
against three of MLS elite:
the Seattle Sounders, Los An-
geles Galaxy, and Real Salt
Lake. For fans, it may mean
later nights, as many games
will be starting at 8 p.m. or
9 p.m., an hour or two later
than the regular 7 p.m. starts
in the East.

PREDICTION: KANSAS 94, WASHBURN 60
BLAIR SHEADE
@realblairsheady

KANSAS
(0-0)

WASHBURN
(0-0)
Frank Mason
SO., GUARD
Mason is the most experienced point guard on Kansas roster. He is a quick pitbull-type player who
cuts to the paint and has good court vision. Mason averaged 5.5 points per game last season.
Wayne Selden, Jr.
SO., GUARD
Coming off of an injury-riddled season, Selden will look to get off to a fast start. The athletic
wingman averaged 10.2 points per game last season. Selden will have to do better than that this
season as he will have to step up into a larger role.
Kelly Oubre, Jr.
FR., FORWARD
Perry Ellis
JR., FORWARD
Perry is the go-to-guy for Kansas offense this season. Ellis averaged 13.5 points per game last sea-
son as the teams second option. With more shots coming his way, that number will likely increase.
Look for Ellis to have a big opening game against Washburn.
Cliff Alexander
FR., FORWARD
As a senior in high school, Alexander averaged 13.3 points and 9.8 rebounds per game. Alexander will
be Kansas go-to big man down low. Against a smaller Washburn side, Alexander shouldnt have any
trouble dominating the glass.
Kyle Wiggins
SR., GUARD
Kyle Wiggins was the starting point guard for Washburn last season. Wiggins led the Ichabods with
four assists per game and was second in scoring (16 ppg). Wiggins, who is 6-foot-3, will give the
smaller Kansas guards trouble because of his length he averaged one steal per game last season.
Korey Fisher
SR., GUARD
The senior guard didnt start last season, but will t into the two-guard role easily. Fisher shot above
40 percent from three and shot close to 80 percent from the free-throw line. In order for the Ichabod
offense to be productive, Fisher will have to score more than his seven-point average.

Chris Davis
SR., GUARD
Davis is another non-starter from last season. He averaged ve points and two rebounds as a junior.
With the expanded playing time, Davis will have more chances to contribute to the Ichabod offense, but
against Kansas tough man-to-man defense, he will nd it difcult to create his own shot.
Christian Ulsaker
JR., FORWARD
The lone junior in the starting lineup is the Ichabods best 3-point shooter and free-throw shooter.
Ulsaker averaged four rebounds last season and didnt have a single block all season, despite his
6-foot-5 frame.
Alex North
SR., FORWARD
North is the Ichabods best player. He averaged 16 points and 10 rebounds, team highs in both cate-
gories. He shot 46 percent from 3-point range, and at 6-foot-6, he is the tallest starter on Washburn.
If the Kansas big men dont follow North beyond the arc, he will knock down the long-range jumpers.

Oubre is a long athletic freshman who has large shoes to ll this season. With a similar play style
and body type to Andrew Wiggins, the comparisons are bound to be made. He averaged 22 points per
game in his senior season at Findlay High School.

PAGE 11A Jayhawks nish fth at Big 12 Championship meet
L
osing to Baylor is noth-
ing to be ashamed of.
Losing to Baylor while
committing numerous mis-
takes and practically giving up
points is another story.
To have a chance at defeating
the 12th-ranked Bears in
Waco, Texas, the Jayhawks
needed to play a nearly perfect
game. Instead, Kansas went
and shot itself in the foot. By
the end of the frst quarter,
Baylor was leading 20-7 and
the result was all but decided.
Kansas came into the game
with only one lost fumble,
but lost three in Saturdays
matchup. Te frst fumble set
the tone early.
Baylor was already up 7-0
less than fve minutes into the
game by way of an 11-second
scoring drive when Kansas
started a drive at its own 28-
yard line. Tree short plays
later, the Jayhawks coughed up
the ball, and Baylor recovered
at the Kansas 18-yard line.
Te Bears capitalized, and
all of a sudden, it was 13-0
(Baylor missed the point afer
attempt).
Te Bears can score too
easily, and the Jayhawks could
not aford to give them more
opportunities to do so. In to-
tal, three of Baylors 11 scoring
drives started at the Kansas
26-yard line or closer.
Take another example of a
mistake.
Late in the frst half, Baylor
had made its way to the Kan-
sas 1-yard line. Along the way,
Kansas had lost Keon Stowers
to injury. When Baylor run-
ning back Devin Chafn was
stufed on third down, Baylor
decided to go for it.
So it was a 4th-and-one
situation. Te Jayhawk defense
sent out only 10 players, and
Chafn scored easily.
Honestly, the fnal result
would have most likely been
the same if Kansas hadnt
committed any fumbles,
penalties or other blunders.
In the end, Baylor was almost
unstoppable, but how it hap-
pens does matter.
Interim coach Clint Bowen
says every week the players
and the team can only control
what they do. He preaches
fundamentals and giving fans
a product they want to watch.
None of that happened
Saturday.
Kansas couldnt control how
well Baylor played, but the
Jayhawks could control what
they did. Tey could hold
on to the ball. Tey could be
on the feld when they were
supposed to be.
In the three previous losses
under Bowen, there were en-
couraging signs. Te Jayhawks
kept close with a ranked
team. Tey had some fght on
the road. Against Baylor, it
seemed like there was no fght.
Kansas never looked like
it had a chance. Even worse,
the Jayhawks looked like they
were trying to help the Bears
win.

BIG PLAYS DOOM KANSAS
SHANE JACKSON
@JacksonShane3
Big plays became the
Achilles heel for the Kansas
Jayhawks in Waco, Texas.
Te Baylor Bears used their
juggernaut of an ofense, and
its ability to travel the length
of the feld in a short period of
time to trounce the Jayhawks
60-14 on Saturday.
We knew
we were
playing a
very good
f o o t b a l l
t e a m ,
i n t e r i m
coach Clint
Bowen said.
We had to
come out and
match that,
we didnt come out and do the
things you do.
Coming into Saturdays
matchup, the Jayhawks
praised the defensive unit as
the strength of the team. Te
Jayhawks defense had kept
them in many games with its
ability to maintain those big
plays.
Tat was not the case as the
Bears had their way with the
Jayhawks with 18 plays over
10 yards. Baylor had three
plays over 40 yards including a
72-yard touchdown pass from
Bryce Petty to Corey Coleman
on their fourth ofensive play
of the game.
We obviously felt we had
a good plan, Bowen said.
Baylor had a better plan.
In comparison, the Jayhawks
had 11 plays all day that
gained over 10 yards.
Before Saturday, the Bears
had the second-best ofense
in college football averaging
nearly 50
points a
game. Tey
e x c e e d e d
that with
a 60-point
performance
a n d
accumulated
669 yards of
total ofense.
Offensively,
Kansas may have not been
able to match stat for stat
with the juggernaut ofense,
but they put up a respectable
fght. Tey had a total of 304
yards on ofense.
In fact junior quarterback
Michael Cummings
statistically was on par with
the Heisman candidate.
Petty completed 15 of his
27 pass attempts for 277
yards and three touchdowns.
Cummings was 21-for-30
with 288 yards and a pair of
passing touchdowns.
On the ground, the
Jayhawks gained just 16 yards
on 27 carries. Leading up to
Saturday, Kansas was tied
for frst in the country with
the fewest lost fumbles but
coughed it up three times
Saturday.
You have to take care of the
football, Bowen said.
If Kansas defense can go
back to not surrendering
the big plays and the ofense
continues to improve, they
could put themselves in pretty
good position to win their
frst conference game of the
year.
Were going to go right
back to work tomorrow,
Bowen said. We have a plan
to work, continue to prepare
and continue to try and win
football games.

Teammates react to Frankamps transfer
Sophomore guard Conner
Frankamp announced on Fri-
day that he will be transferring
from the University of Kansas
once the semester is over, and
will leave the basketball team
immediately.
While rumors of the transfer
circulated throughout cam-
pus, no one seemed more sur-
prised than his fellow team-
mates to fnd out the ofcial
news.
It came as a shock to me,
junior guard Wayne Selden
said. Hes a great person and
player to be around. We be-
came best friends, and this
is the business were in, this
is what it is. Its hard to han-
dle this when you dont see it
coming, to grasp not having
him there in the locker room,
itll hurt.
Junior forward Perry Ellis,
who played against Conner
Frankamp in high school in
Wichita, was also surprised by
Frankamps decision.
I didnt see it coming, Ellis
said. He was doing real well,
but only he knows whats best
for himself.
Frankamp said hes been
thinking about this decision
for a while now. He is happy
at Kansas, but wants to play at
a school where he could play
contribute more to the team.
"I love KU and I love the Jay-
hawks, Frankamp said. I feel
like I've improved quite a bit
since I've been here. I love my
teammates but I just don't feel
like it's the right ft for me. We
have many good guards and
so many big-time players. I
want to be at a place where I
could play a bigger role."
Playing time for Frankamp
wasnt guaranteed now, or
even in the coming years.
Frankamp was part of a
crowded backcourt for Kansas
that includes plenty of young
talent. Freshmen Devonte
Graham, Kelly Oubre, Svia-
toslav Mykhailiuk and sopho-
mores Brannen Greene, Frank
Mason and Selden are all in
the mix to receive playing
time this season at the guard
position this season.
Frankamp averaged 8.3 min-
utes and 2.5 points per game
last season.
Ellis said the team supports
Frankamps decision.
Only yourself knows what
you want to do and need to
do, Ellis said. Were all be-
hind him, we all support him
and were all going to miss
him.
His ability to shoot from
long-range will especially
be missed. In limited play-
ing time, Frankamp made 15
3-pointers for the Jayhawks
last season, including four
in the NCAA Tournament
Round of 32 game against
Stanford.
Selden said he will have to
play more at guard to help fll
the gap of Frankamp. As one
of the most experienced at the
position, Selden will also be
expected become show more
leadership, too.
I feel a little faster, a little
stronger, Selden said. Guys
are looking to me for the lead-
ership and to fll that role.
