Kevin Harts pop-up 5K run

was one in a series of events he
has organized to raise awareness for a healthy lifestyle.
Hart led a group of more than
1,000 runners across Kansas
Citys Brush Creek Greenway
Park on Saturday morning.
Hart has partnered with the
Nike Run Club, a global branch
of Nike focused on training for
all types of athletes, to encourage living healthy. He has organized eight events with Nike
in cities where he performs his
stand-up comedy show, What
Now.
Kevin approached us with
the idea, said Lisa Beachy,
the communications manager
at Nike. He had done these
spontaneous 5Ks before and
didnt want them to be a oneand-done event. This was one
of our best runs yet, and, for
some, this was their first run
ever, but we also had some
amazing times from some
amazing athletes.
Skylar Johnson, a senior from
Kansas City, Mo., who participated in the race, said the
event encouraged her to place
more emphasis on her health

in the future.
There was a lot of energy
and excitement on the part
of the staff, she said. It has
motivated me to do more 5Ks.
After [Harts] speech about his
health, I realized it was a great
way to push myself and get serious about my health.
Hart spoke after the event to
the group of runners about the
importance of keeping up a
physically active lifestyle.
Its not a race, he said. Its
about starting something as a
group and finishing as a group.
For those who dont do it, its
the first day of a possible new
beginning.
Jacques Green, a Kansas City,
Mo., resident, participated in
the race with a group of 12
runners from an organization
called Black Men Run. The organization, which competes in
different races nationwide, focuses on raising health awareness, Green said.
Black Men Run encourages
people to get active instead
of watching TV, Green said.
You have a feeling of accomplishment when you run a 5K.

Its a burst of energy that is different than after you watch the
third hour of a TV show.
Andrew Adelmann, a coach
of a Nike Run Club based in
Chicago, also helped organize
the event and said he was impressed with the spirit of Kansas City runners, including
those who came on Saturday
for the first time.
Everybody is an athlete, and
we feel passionate about that
core belief, he said. I was
part of a special pop up event
in Kansas City last year, and I
left that event with a renewed
sense of excitement. Hearing
that there were so many first
time runners, it was a super
inspiring performance. I was
really impressed with the hunger of the Kansas City running
community.
Hart has organized similar
events in Dallas, Houston,
Washington, D.C., Chicago,
Toronto, Atlanta and two in
Boston, according to his official Twitter page.

KU receives grant of $2 million for

scholarships for migrant students
CASSIDY RITTER
@CassidyRitter

Financing an education at the

University was a difficult task
that left Alejandra Hernandez,
an alumna and the child of two
migrant farmers from Hugoton, feeling out of place. As a
migrant student, she did not
have much direction when it
came to paying for college.
Nobody ever told me what
the FAFSA (Free Application
for Federal Student Aid) was,
Hernandez said. So, for the
first year of college, Im paying
with credit cards because nobody told me about the FAFSA. Nobody told me I was eligible for scholarships or grants
or any of that stuff or loans.
During her time at the University, Hernandez became a
student assistant for the College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP), which works
with the Center for Educational Opportunity Program
(CEOP) on campus. The program helped connect Hernandez with resources and opportunities the University had to
offer.
The U.S. Department of Education gave the University
and three other colleges a $1.9
million grant over five years,
from 2015 to 2020, to help mi-

grant students attend college.

The grant is meant to help the
University increase support
for migrant students through
Heartland CAMP and begin
offering scholarships.
It was really tough for me
coming to a campus that is
predominantly white, and I
was first generation, a person
of color and also low income,
so I felt kind of out of place,
Hernandez said. I loved my
experience at KU, but I felt like
I didnt really have a lot of direction. I just did what I could
with what I knew.
Stacy Mendez, director of
Heartland CAMP, said the
grant would help 35 students
at four schools every year, a
total of 175 students over five
years. The scholarship pays
for up to six credit hours each
semester and gives the student
a monthly stipend for living
expenses, Mendez said. Once
the students are in the CAMP
program, they have access to
free tutoring and advising until they graduate.
The University received the
grant from 2001 to 2005, but
it was not funded again until
2015, Mendez said. Between
2005 and 2015, CAMP worked
with the CEOP to provide the
support that Hernandez benefited from.

Who qualifies as a
migrant?
Anyone can be migrant,
regardless of race, ethnicity, country of origin,
or immigration status. To
qualify as migrant, a person must move to work
in seasonal or temporary
agricultural work.
Source: Heartland CAMP

Mendez and Hernandez said

they had recruited three scholars at the University so far,
but are looking to recruit five
scholars this year.
Although you dont have to
be from diverse backgrounds,
in reality a lot of the students
that we serve are from diverse
backgrounds, so I think it
does have the ability to help
increase diverse populations
here on campus, Mendez said.
The grant will be disbursed
through scholarships to the
University, Donnelly College
in Kansas City, Kan., Metropolitan Community College
in Omaha, Neb., and Western Iowa Technical College in
Sioux City, Iowa.

Analyzing categories of drunken

behaviors, specified in University
of Missouri study, at the University
RYAN MILLER

@Ryanmiller_UDK

Drunken behaviors vary

widely among students, according to a 2015 study from
the University of Missouris
Department of Psychological
Sciences.
The study grouped college-age drinkers into four
categories based on their intellect, conscientiousness and
extraversion while sober and
intoxicated.
Students categorized as
Hemingway were found to
be slightly less conscientiousness and to have lowered intellect while intoxicated. However, these changes in their
temperaments were smaller
than the average drinker.
The second group, called
Mary Poppins, included
people who were especially
friendly while sober, and they
increased more than average
in extraversion while drunk.
They also decreased in conscientiousness and intellect
while intoxicated.
Mr. Hyde was the third
group, and included the largest decreases in conscientiousness and intellect and increases in extraversion while
intoxicated.
In the last group, The Nutty
Professor, individuals were
introverted when sober, but
became significantly more
extraverted while drunk. The
Nutty Professor subjects
were less conscientious when
drunk.
Behaviors of intoxicated
people may be nuanced, but
Jenny McKee, a health educator for Watkins Health Center,
said the categories were true.
I feel they did a pretty good
job categorizing a limited
number of behaviors for intoxicated individuals, McKee
said.
McKee often meets with students for an alcohol education
courses, for students who violated policy for alcohol or
made poor choices involving

alcohol, including how they

used alcohol and what they
did after drinking.
I get to work with students
who may have done something out of character compared to if they were sober,
McKee said. I definitely meet
with the Mr. Hyde individual.
She said she meets students
very frequently who talk
about how their behaviors
change when they drink. But
she said she rarely saw students in her program who fit
the Mary Poppins or Nutty
Professor categories.
McKee said alcohol was not
the main problem for lot of
the students she meets with.
Its something else in their
life, she said. Because theyre
already anxious, or overwhelmed, those feelings they
are having leads them up to
experience being intoxicated
differently.

I feel like a lot of media

today gives...the impression
that college is a really great
four-to-six-year party, and
thats not really the case.
JENNY MCKEE
Health Educator, Watkins

According to the 2013 National College Health Assessment, 80 percent of KU

students felt overwhelmed
over the previous 12 months,
74 percent often felt exhausted, and 49 percent felt overwhelming anxiety.
How you feel, what youre
experiencing makes a huge
impact on a situation where
youre using alcohol, McKee
said. There are nights where
it wont be the best decision
for you.
She said one of the main
issues on campus regarding
alcohol was misinformation
students receive about alcohol
use during college.

I feel like a lot of media today gives our students the impression that college is a really
great four-to-six-year party,
and thats not really the case,
she said.
The results of the 2013 assessment showed that students thought 94 percent of
their peers drank alcohol.
However, the research data
showed that only 74 percent
of students said they had a
drink in the previous 30 days.
The survey involved staff visiting large lecture classes to
obtain random samples from
student participants.
McKee said she tried to give
students realistic protective
behaviors so students stay safe
drinking.
This is real life with training
wheels, she said. There are a
lot of folks on campus who
can help individuals through
less than optimal situations.
Here at KU, I feel like we have
some great safety nets to help
you learn from that experience.
McKees advice for students
is to engage in more protective behaviors to stay safe,
like those on the Universitys
Buddy System website.
Some behaviors include being a good bystander by diverting intoxicated students
attention or offering them
water.
Sometimes, instead of offering drinks, ask how they
are, gauge the mood of that
friend," McKee said. "We
know that when an individual
drinks when they feel upset,
or lonely, or frustrated, they
are more likely to experience
those negative consequences."
McKee said going out with
friends and having fun goes
hand in hand with practicing
safe behaviors.
Its totally possible to have a
good time and to be responsible and safe at the same time,
she said.

moves to Wescoe
and adds services
for gender equity
LARA KORTE

@Lara_Korte

In addition to its normal services, the Emily Taylor Center

for Women and Gender Equity will be focusing on sexual
harassment and masculinity
in its new location in Wescoe
Hall.
The Emily Taylor Center relocated to Wescoe because of
a reorganization last January.
The center was previously in
the Union in the Student Involvement and Leadership
Center. It is now within the
Office of Diversity and Equity.
The center began as an informal place for career guidance
and has grown into a multidimensional gender equity center. In addition to workshops,
symposiums and lectures, the
center offers guidance and
advice when it comes to gender-related issues.
"I think sometimes people
just dont know where to start,
and we can clarify from a gender-perspective some of the
issues and identify places people can go to get the range of
support they need, said Kathy
Rose-Mockry, the executive
director of the center. Students
who come to the center are
encouraged to get informed,
involved and empowered."

involved in the Emily Taylor

Center and Students United
for Reproductive and Gender Equity, or SURGE, which
is a student group that works
toward social and political
equality throughout the gender and sexuality spectrum.
Rose-Mockry said the Center is hoping to increase participation rates among male
students. In the past, men
have served as co-presidents
of SURGE previously called
Commission on the Status of
Women and sat as board
members for the Emily Taylor
Center.
That's a very important
aspect of our service as gender affects anyone, men and
women, and all in between,
Rose-Mockry said.
Liz Stuewe, who graduated
in 2009, worked with both the
Center and SURGE when it
was called Commission on the
Status of Women.
Ive seen the Center in action, teaching professional
skills, Stuewe said. I can
think of so many women who,
because of the Center, have
been propelled into really interesting and fulfilling careers
for them.

EDUCATION
This year, the Emily Taylor
Center will be focusing on
domestic violence and sexual
harassment.
To educate students on these
topics, the center will host
events including Sexual Assault Awareness Week, a free
self-defense workshop and a
guest speaker, Leslie Morgan
Steiner, who is a domestic violence survivor.
We expect to continue to
provide important education
and services for our students
and our staff and faculty on
sexual violence related topics and healthy relationships,
Rose-Mockry said.

RESOURCES
A new position, the CARE
coordinator, was introduced
last year to help combat sexual
harassment on campus. When
students experience something that is uncomfortable or
harmful, the CARE Coordinator can help that person identify the situation and get help.
It helps students navigate
through the campus system,"
Rose-Mockry said. "In instances of sexual harassment,
a CARE Coordinator would
sit down with someone, [find]
out what they need and what
felt uncomfortable and [assist]
in helping that individual take
further action."
STUDENT INVOLVEMENT
Rose-Mockry said student
involvement is key in increasing awareness about gender
equity issues. Students can get

ter's programming uses specific language in order to include

those who might not identify
as male or female. Many times
when discussing issues of gender equity, trans people are excluded.
"Its important to have a discussion about people who
identify specifically in a particular subgroup, we have some
generalized workshops that
are important for all genders,
no matter how you identify
yourself, Rose-Mockry said.
As the new school year begins, Rose-Mockry said she
wanted all students to take a
step to get informed, get involved and get empowered
when dealing with gendered
issues on campus.
Its about internalizing these
issues and not just taking an
action, but taking an action
to increase your awareness,
Rose-Mockry said. Its about
making a difference in the
world."

City commission gives

$100,000 to housing
authority to help the
homeless in county
CASSIDY RITTER
@CassidyRitter

An increase in the 2016 city

budget could mean fewer families living at the Lawrence
Community Shelter and more
living in their own home.
On Aug. 4, Stuart Boley, a city
commissioner, and Shannon
Oury, a representative for the
Lawrence Housing Authority,
requested an increase to the
2016 budget to assist homeless
families in Lawrence.
The idea is that because the
shelter has come to us and
asked for emergency funds
from this year, I think one of
the ways we could help out
would be to allocate some
money for 2016 to try to reduce some of the population
at the shelter, Boley said at
the Aug. 4 City Commission
meeting.
City commissioners approved a $100,000 increase in
city contributions to the Lawrence-Douglas County Housing Authority. This money will
come from the citys general
operating fund, according to
Assistant City Manager Casey
Toomay.
With this increase, Boley
and Oury have proposed a
program for families in the
Lawrence Community Shelter.
The proposed program is similar to the transitional housing
program, but would focus on
helping families rather than
individuals.
The transitional housing program would pay part of the individual or familys rent based
on their income for two years,
Oury said during the meeting.
At the end of two years, the
person is responsible for rent
without the voucher program.
According to Oury, there are
currently 48 people on the
waiting list for the program.
It is going to enable us to get
folks into housing more quickly, said Trey Meyer, director
of operations at the Lawrence
Community Shelter. And
once the program has been in

$5

place for a while I do think it

will help decrease the homeless population in Lawrence.
Meyer said the transitional
housing program currently in
place was one of the primary
options for getting people out
of the shelter.
The budget increase could allow the shelter to help more individuals and families, meaning University students who
volunteer there can also help
more people. On average, the
Lawrence Community Shelter
has four students volunteering
each week during the summer.
That number increases when
classes start, Meyer said.
Toomay said there were two
groups working to assist the
Lawrence-Douglas
County
Housing Authority: Boley and
Oury are one, the other is Justice Matters.
Justice Matters has also requested $100,000 from the city
housing fund to address affordable housing. The money
requested from Justice Matters
will not affect the 2016 budget
because the housing fund had
been set aside for Justice Matters until the group was ready
to address affordable living.
The request from Boley and
Oury will be taken from the
citys general operating funds
which comes from property
taxes, sales taxes, franchise
fees, charges for service, licenses, permits and fines, according to Toomay.
The two groups will be working toward affordable housing in Lawrence and Douglas County with a total of
$200,000 from two different
funds, Toomay said.
The city housing fund has a
little over $100,000 and has
been set aside for the Justice
Matters group, Toomay said.
Justice Matters does not yet
have a plan for how the money
would be used to change affordable housing in Lawrence
and Douglas County, Toomay
said.

Brandon Gardner, a firefighter with Snohomish County Fire District 7, pulls a water hose into position while helping prevent a wildfire from spreading to a
nearby homeowners property near Okanogan, Wash., on Saturday.

As air quality improves in Washington state,

officials say wildfires may become erratic
DONNA BLANKINSHIP
BRIAN SKOLOFF
Associated Press

OKANOGAN, Wash.
The massive cloud of smoke is
expected to lift over Washington wildfires on Sunday. But
as air quality improves, the
fires behavior could become
more erratic and intense, fire
officials said.
Its like a flue opening in a
fireplace, said Suzanne Flory, spokeswoman for the U.S.
Forest Service and the Rocky
Mountain Incident Management Team. Smoke serves as
a cap on the fire.
The Okanogan Complex of
wildfires was measured at 374
square miles Sunday morning, after growing more than
100 miles larger Saturday in
what fire officials said was a
relatively calm fire day.
Sunday was expected to be
a different story. Once the
smoke lifts, humidity drops,
heat rises and fires flare up.
The complex of fires was
estimated to be about 10 percent contained as of Sunday
morning, fire spokesman Dan

Omdal said.
Containment does not mean
the fire has stopped burning.
It means it has run out of fuel
to burn in that area, either because it has hit a man-made
fire line, a drop from airplanes of fire retardant, a road
or a lake.
Some of the land within the
fire lines is still burning, but
other sections have burned
out.
We call it a wildfire, but
much of the fire has been
tamed, Omdal said. We are
making progress,
The good news for Sunday
is that less smoke means restrictions on air travel will be
lifted and more fire tankers
can drop water and chemical
retardant, Flory said.
Air quality, which has been
dangerously bad, will also improve when the smoke cloud
lifts, but firefighters wont be
able to take a breather. We
tell firefighters, if you see blue
sky, heads up, Flory said.
Meanwhile, local officials
have downgraded some
evacuation notices, allowing
some people to return to their
homes. Thousands remain
under evacuation notices.
Sarah Miller, a spokeswoman with Okanogan County
Emergency
Management,
said residents have been
warned to stay ready to leave
at any time and to not drive
around looking at the fires.
People driving around are
getting in the way of fire operations, Miller said.
Steve Surgeon, a mechanic
and scrap-metal seller who
lost everything he owns except for his home on the outskirts of Okanogan, said he
was just happy to be alive.
He stayed in place as the fire

WHAT:

raced over a ridge and barreled down toward his home,

flames lapping just feet from
his back porch.
Im alive, he said with a
sigh Sunday. I shouldnt be,
but I am and thats what
matters.
Heaps of twisted and charred
metal litter his land where the
fire burned through. Surgeon
estimates he lost more than
$100,000 worth of property,
including his shop, his motorcycle, several cars, a travel
trailer and all of his tools.
But I have my life and I
have my home, he said. Everything else can be replaced.
Surgeon didnt have any insurance to help cover the cost
of what he lost and was hoping the federal government
would eventually offer assistance.
But all my titles to everything were in the shop, and
thats burned to the ground,
he said. I guess Im just going
to stay and just try to slowly
rebuild.
Meanwhile, a new firefighting mobilization center is

being set up at Fairchild Air

Force Base near Spokane to
help fight wildfires in Washington state. The base will be
the staging area for 20 large
fire engines and 10 water takers and will be run by a team
from San Diego.
The new firefighting resources come one day after
the Obama administration
approved Washington Gov.
Jay Inslees request for a federal emergency declaration to
help firefighting efforts in the
eastern part of the state.
The new fire engines are
coming from Utah, Nevada,
Arizona and Colorado, Inslees office said.
Sixteen large wildfires are
burning across central and
eastern Washington, covering
more than 920 square miles.
More than 200 homes have
been destroyed and more
than 12,000 homes and thousands of other structures remain threatened.
More than 1,000 people
were fighting just the Okanogan Complex of fires on
Sunday.

OPINION

Good communication is key to roommate relationships

Jessica Gomez
@jessicataylurr

Moving to college is one of

the biggest steps we make in
our lives. Its an exciting time
when we get to start a new
chapter. And unless you have
the option to get a studio or
one-bedroom apartment,
one of the things you have to
adapt to during the journey is
having a new roommate.
During my college experience Ive had a variety of
roommates: a best friend, an
enemy, a boyfriend and other
random people I had never
met before in my life. With

each roommate I learned different things throughout our

time living together, but the
one thing I learned that I will
keep forever is the importance
of communicating with them.
When you have a roommate
there are two types of boundaries: ethical and personal.
In order for those boundaries
to be established, roommates
must communicate about likes
and dislikes, what is appropriate, and even simpler things,
like if you accidentally ate or
threw away the food that was
in the mini fridge.
Ive witnessed and heard
about roommate horror
stories because all they did

was introduce themselves on

move-in day, and the rest was
history.
According to a study by the
Department of Psychology
at Pacific University, called
Should I Stay or Should I Go,
the two biggest roommate
conflicts are sleep cycles and
communication styles. As a
student, you should know how
precious sleep is especially
around midterms or finals.
You have to work it out so you
know when to be quiet and
when to give them their space.
Itll make a difference.
But without good communication, things can turn sour
fast. Not only will it affect your

moods and time inside your

living space, but it can affect
your academic performance.
According to an article in the
Huffington Post, roommate
conflict is actually one of the
top five reasons students drop
out. There will be conflict
some days; even the best of
friends have a few feuds, and
if you make the mistake of
watching The Roommate
with Leighton Meester right
before move-in, it probably
doesnt calm your fear. This is
why colleges use surveys or
online roommate matching
services, which, according to
the same article, have reduced
conflict by 65 percent, and left

48 percent of those conflicts

less severe.
Not all roommates will
become a disaster; there are
a lot of times you will relate,
and theyll become your best
friend or someone you hang
out with from time to time
after you share a tiny bedroom
and closet together. How that
semester or year turns out
depends on how each of you
communicate and treat each
other, and talk it out.

Help stop the next wave of antibiotic-resistant superbugs

Abby Petrulis
@apetrulis

Antibiotic resistance is one

of those topics that you hear
about almost constantly
like global warming, wars,
drug abuse, the same old topics about how the world is going downhill, its our fault, and
were doomed. I think because
solutions to these problems
seem so far away from us, or
so far out of our control, that
we categorize them into things
we can do nothing about and
go on our merry way.
But, much like global warming, education and action can
help prevent the spread of
antibiotic resistance, a truly
massive problem.
First, some background:
Antibiotics are only effective
against bacteria they can
either kill them (bactericidal) or simply stop their
growth and let your immune
system slowly flush them out
(bacteriostatic). A reason why
bacteria can develop resistance to these drugs that we
once saw as a miracle cure is
simple: Antibiotics come from
bacteria.
These naturally occurring
antibiotics, some which are
still used today, developed as
a natural evolutionary tool.

If any given bacteria can

produce a chemical that kills
different bacteria, then it will
have more space to grow and
spread its own genetic data.
Of course, those chemicals
can only work locally the
killing effect of the antibiotic
produced decreases the farther away it is from a bacterial
target.
When the bacteria that are
farther away are exposed to
only low levels of an antibiotic, they can evolve to develop
resistance mechanisms and
overcome that other kind of
bacteria.
Its not that antibiotic resistance would never happen. Its
that the way humanity is abusing antibiotics is speeding up
the process. When resistance
increases faster than we can
develop, test and implement
new antibiotics, we have a
problem.
Most people dont realize
how often antibiotics are
used. Of course, theres the
typical patient with a bad cold
who goes to the doctor and
demands antibiotics, even
though the common cold is
a virus which cant be treated
with antibiotics. Sometimes,
the doctor will do it because whats the harm?
Dermatologists put many
patients on once-daily antibi-

otics to treat acne, which can

last for months. This not only
can harm the good bacteria in
your gut that help you digest
food, but can make the bacteria in your natural environment stronger. This treatment
for acne is only useful while
you are taking the medication. As soon as you stop, the
bacteria will return.
In many cases, patients have
outgrown the hormonal stage
of their life that causes their
face to be oily or attractive to
bacteria, but mistake the antibiotic treatment as the reason
for a permanent cure.
Antibiotics simply dont
work for preventative use. If
you take antibiotics to prevent
any kind of infection, it wont
stop you from getting that infection it just means that if
you do get an infection, it will
likely already be resistant to
the antibiotics to which youve
exposed it. Thats why patients
in hospitals are at risk for
these so-called superbugs like
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA.
Because hospitals are extremely sterile environments,
the bacteria that are somehow
able to survive there are the
greatest and strongest, and
they're ready to infect.
Even though antibiotics are
ineffective as preventative

medicine, many large farms

and livestock companies treat
their animals with antibiotics.
Not only does that expose the
bacteria in the environment
to low levels of antibiotics
that they can then develop
resistance to, but it exposes
you to a low level of antibiotic
as well.
Its self-defeating farmers
use these drugs to prevent an
infection from wiping out a
whole herd, but what theyre
really doing is making that
very infection even stronger
by giving it a steady stream of
antibiotic that it can overcome. Bacteria are ubiquitous
they are everywhere, and
they will usually find a way to
overcome.
So what can you do? You
have some options.
1. Dont buy meat from
farmers who use antibiotics.
The chicken company Tyson
has recently announced that
their chickens will be completely antibiotic free by 2016.
2. Cool it with the hand
sanitizer. Your immune
system needs to fight off the
little bugs to be strong enough
to fight off the big infections.
That being said, basic hygiene
is still important and you
should definitely wash your
hands and use hand sanitizer to prevent the spread of

infection. You just dont need

to be medical-grade sterile all
of the time.
3. When you are prescribed
antibiotics for a legitimate
bacterial infection, take all of
them. Even if you start to feel
better, it doesnt mean that the
infection is gone. If you stop
taking them in the middle
of treatment, not all of the
bacteria will be killed, and the
ones that were only weakened
will evolve resistance to the
antibiotic you first took. A
couple of weeks later, youll be
back at the doctor begging for
a stronger antibiotic.
4. Finally, if you have a cold
or the flu, dont beg your
doctor for antibiotics. They
wont solve your problem, but
will just contribute to making
the bacteria in your environment stronger.
If we can stop the over-prescription of antibiotics and its
use in livestock populations
that only are currently experiencing outbreaks, and take a
full course of antibiotics when
prescribed, then we will have
more time develop the next
generation of antibiotics, and
reduce overall cases of antibiotic resistant superbugs.

ARTS & CULTURE

Every city offers its own unique experience, and I expect that
Lawrence will be the same.
Meet the two artists in residency at the Lawrence Arts Center

Accumulation is a piece by Lawrence Arts Center artist-in-residence Christy Witmer. Whitmer, 41, is from Mansfield, Ohio, and specializes in sculpting and ceramics.

RYAN WRIGHT

@ryanwaynewright

This August, the Lawrence

Arts Center welcomed Christy Whitmer and Amanda
Macuiba to its year-long residency program.
Whitmer, 41, is from Mansfield, Ohio, and specializes in
sculpting and ceramics. She
said she has always been a creative person and decided to
pursue art as a career when she
took a ceramics class in high
school.
When I started taking ceramics I felt right at home,
Whitmer said. I experiment
and observe, and I thought
being in ceramics legitimized
that as an artistic experience.

During her career, Whitmer

developed an inflammatory
joint disorder in one of her
wrists, which made it difficult
for her to continue.
I had to stop, for a year and
a half, making anything with
clay. I was able to get back into
it gradually but I dont have
the strength that I once had,
Whitmer said. I guess as I
age, Im concerned about my
strength.
After recovering from her
injury, Whitmer returned to
ceramics and earned her masters degree at the University
of Cincinnati. While there,
she met Katie Parker, one of
Whitmers professors who she
identifies as one of her biggest
role models.
She takes advantage of every

opportunity, Whitmer said.

She has come to her success
because she is just constantly
making work and helping other people make their work. She
just says yes to everything.
Before coming to Lawrence,
Whitmer did residencies in
cities across the world including Berlin and Jingdezhen,
China. She said each city had
nuances that made it interesting to create her art.
Every city offers its own
unique experience, and I expect that Lawrence will be the
same, Whitmer said.
A lot of Whitmers work
comes from experimentation, she said. She likes to take
several different materials
and create sculptures that are
delicately balanced between

handmade and manufactured

materials.
Shes currently working on a
collaborative piece with fellow
artist Julia Sebastian, based on
things they found during their
time in China. After that, she
plans to begin working on a
new installation.
Amanda Macuiba, a printmaker from Buffalo, N.Y., also
joined the Lawrence Arts Center. Like Whitmer, she became
interested in art as a child,
which turned from a hobby
to a deeper interest that eventually led her to pursue it as a
career.
Macuiba, 28, earned her
bachelors degree in visual
studies from the University of
Buffalo in 2009 and her masters degree in printmaking

from the University of Iowa in

2015.
A lot of Macuibas work revolves around the environment and how the audience interacts with it. Her interest in
the environment was spurred
when she moved from the urban sprawl of New York to the
prairies of the Midwest.
You begin to see how we
make these unsustainable decisions to the environment
and it became really apparent
when I moved to the Midwest,
Macuiba said. Climate change
is huge in my work, especially
how we ignore it.
Macuibas work is also inspired by her experiences.
Right now she doesnt have a
specific project shes working
on, she said. Shes researching

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO

Lawrence and the surrounding

area for inspiration for pieces that shell create at the arts
center.
My work is a direct response
to the things that I experience,
Macuiba said. The actual artwork is not about my personal
life but making them interesting to a wider audience.
Both artists work will be displayed at the Lawrence Arts
Center throughout their residencies, which began Aug. 1
and will end on July 31. The
artists will also share their
professional experiences with
Lawrence Art Center students
and local artists.

Rogers: The 2015 song of summer

wasnt a song it was an artist
JARRET ROGERS
@jarretrogers

The arrival of the school year

means the informal end of
summer. There are a few more
weeks to quench your thirst for
UV rays, but hey, youll probably be in the library.
Accompanying the end of the
season on the thermometer
is the end of the summer jam
season on the radio waves. If
youre anything like me, the
end of the summer jam season
is comparable to going back to
school. The new experiences
will be great, but letting go of
the past three months will be
more arduous than expected.
As an optimist, its hard to
see the fall being a letdown in
what has been the best year
in music since 2010. Releases
from Kurt Vile, CHVRCHES
and Neon Indian are just a few
reasons to look forward to the
next few months.
Now, we have to answer the
most pressing question: What
has been the song of the summer? Since 2012 when
Carly Rae Jepsen dominated
with Call Me Maybe the
summer soundtracks have
been relatively weak. If we
could have just listened to Daft
Punk and Pharrell in 2013 and
left Iggy Azaela off the mic in
2014, things might have been

different, but instead we had

two humdrum summers leaving the door open for 2015 to
be the best in recent times.
As classes kick off, it comes
down to which song comes to
mind thinking about the music scene between June and
August. It doesnt matter what
the best was or which song
had the most complex rhythm;
what matters is if it had the
energy to get you singing and
dancing.
Songs that might usually
have been something to turn
away from (Im looking at you,
Cheerleader) have charm
that songs in 2013 and 2014
were missing. This was such
a welcome surprise because
as ubiquitous as the big hits
can be, hearing the same song
that makes you think of nails
on a chalkboard takes away
from the energy that summer
should have.
The best song of the summer,
one I rushed to time and time
again, was the Weeknds Cant
Feel My Face. The 25-year-old
Canadian singer blasts lyrics of
drugs and sex staying true
to his script but, rather than
feeling like a song thats better
after experiencing at least one
of his favorite topics, producer Max Martin turns the song
into a pop hit that feels like it
could have worked in 1985 or
in 2015.

The lesser-known music of

2015 was some of the best in
years, as well. Vince Staples
hauntingly real Summertime
06 demands to be closely listened to. The songs are filled
with stories of a childhood
growing up in Long Beach,
Calif.
Vince
aggressively
rhymes on beats that cover
wide ranges of pace and sound
while being quick and concise
with his words. Staples doesnt
waste his listeners time.
So weve talked songs that
charm, the best song and
something you may have
missed. But we still dont have
our song of the summer. And,
at this point, I can be honest
with you: There is no song of
the summer. There is an artist
of the summer.
This year will forever be the
summer of Fetty Wap. With
My Way, Trap Queen and,
most recently, Again and
679, Fetty brings everything
to the table. He has the charisma you want, makes great music and came out of nowhere.
Now he has graced the same
stage as Taylor Swift the
most 2015 thing of 2015.
Fettys collection will live past
the end of summer. When the
snow falls down in February,
Trap Queen will come on
and, for a moment, numb toes
from walking up a snow-covered hill will be irrelevant.

What you missed at the 2015

annual Convocation ceremony
ANANDA BHATIA
@abb48ca

In her speech at this years

Convocation,
Chancellor
Bernadette Gray-Little said
recent problems in todays society exemplified long-running challenges regarding
race and equality that were
prevalent when the University was founded in 1866.
She asked students to begin
addressing these challenges among themselves, from
wealth disparity to climate
change, even though it might

make them uncomfortable.

Thats precisely why youre
here: to be challenged, to experience intellectual discomfort, to have the opportunity to learn and to test new
ideas, she said.
The Convocation ceremony
marks the start of the academic year. This year is the
Universitys 150 anniversary.
Congressman Kevin Yoder, a former University class
president, said the key to
unlocking the Universitys
potential was becoming immersed in the campus.

KU will provide you with

world-class education if you
reach for it, he said.
The deans on stage wore
robes with academic regalia representing different
degrees they earned. In the
opening remarks, Provost
and Executive Vice Chancellor Jeffrey Vitter said it might
look as if they just flew in
from Hogwarts, but that the
University was magical like
Harry Potter because subjects inspire students to think
in new and creative ways.

Ohio State ranked No. 1 in AP preseason poll, edging out TCU and Baylor
RALPH D. RUSSO
Associated Press

Ohio State is the first unanimous preseason No. 1 in The

Associated Press college football poll.

The defending national

champion Buckeyes received
all 61 first-place votes from the
media panel in the rankings
released Sunday.
TCU is No. 2, followed by Alabama, Baylor and Michigan
State.

The Buckeyes won the first

College Football Playoff championship last season and are
trying to become the 12th
team to win consecutive AP
titles since the poll began in
1936.
Preseason rankings date back

POLL POINTS
2 The last two times the Buckeyes opened the season at No. 1 (1998 and 2006), they finished
No. 2.
6 Pac 12 has six teams ranked in the preseason poll for the second straight year.
8 It is the eighth time Ohio State is ranked No. 1 in preseason. Only Oklahoma has been rated
the top preseason team more times, with 10.
8 SEC has eight teams ranked for the third time, the most by any conference. SEC set the
record in 2011 and had eight teams ranked last year.
10 Ten times the preseason No. 1 has gone on to win the national title. Only twice, Florida State
in 1999 and Southern California in 2004, has the top-ranked team in the preseason poll gone
wire-to-wire as No. 1.
27 Ohio State has appeared in the preseason poll for 27 consecutive years, the longest current
streak and the fourth longest all-time. Oklahoma has the second longest current streak at 16
years.

to 1950. Since then no team

had received more than 97
percent of the first-place votes
in a preseason poll.
In 2013, Alabama, which

had won two straight championships, received 58 of 60

first-place votes and defending champion Florida did the
same in 2009. Neither finished

the season No. 1.

The rest of this years preseason top 10 is Auburn, Oregon,
Southern California, Georgia
and Florida State.

CLOSE AGAIN
You might have heard that TCU and Baylor shared the Big 12 championship last year. It was sort
of a big deal. Well, the second-ranked Horned Frogs and No. 4 Bears are close again and both have
their best preseason rankings.
TCUs previous best preseason ranking was No. 6 in 2010.
Baylors previous best was No. 7 in 1957.

CONTINUING A STREAK
No. 3 Alabama is preseason top-five for the seventh consecutive season. It is the third longest
streak of preseason top-five rankings in the history of the poll. Florida State did it 11 straight times
from 1990-2000 and Oklahoma had eight straight preseason top-five rankings from 1974-81.

MOVING UP NORTH
No. 5 Michigan State has its best preseason ranking since 1967 when it started No. 3.

Bringing down the house

for a former player at the
volleyball alumnae match

Football players watching the Kansas volleyball alumni game erupt after a score by former player Catherine Carmichael. Carmichael now works as the football teams assistant director of recruiting.

AMIE JUST

@AmieJust

Set two of the Kansas volleyball scrimmage had just been

put in the books when Catherine Carmichael saw the entire
football team stroll into the
Horejsi Center.
Carmichael, the current assistant director of football recruiting and former Kansas
volleyball player, knew her
players were coming to watch
her in her element, as she had
talked with coach David Beaty
beforehand.
"I told [Beaty] about the
alumni match a week ago because I wanted to know what
we were doing (today)," Carmichael said. "That turned
into, 'Oh, you have an alumni scrimmage, maybe we can
bring the football team.'"
During Carmichael's playing
days from 2010-13, she saw
time in 234 sets and registered
562 kills, 26 solo blocks, 93 assisted blocks and 103 digs.

The decibel level in Horejsi

most likely doubled after the
team walked in, as every football player in the building was
cheering for Carmichael.
"Let's go No. 20!" was yelled

it was nice to have a

cheering section. I work with
them every day, so it was nice
to see them in a different
environment.

Former Volleyball Player

repeatedly by the players, as

they cheered for Carmichael.
The reigning Miss Kansas
World and the rest of the volleyball girls were excited to
have the football players watch
the match.
"It was nice to have a cheering
section," Carmichael said. "I
work with them every day, so
it was nice to see them in a different environment."

JAMES HOYT/KANSAN

Beaty said the football players

enjoyed coming to the match
and cheering on Carmichael
and the rest of the Jayhawks.
Carmichael finished the day
with seven kills, five digs and
three blocking assists, and
Beaty kept track.
"I think she had seven kills
up there, which was good, but,
we're going to make fun of
her Monday because we could
tell she was not in her playing
shape." Beaty said jokingly.
"But she did really good and
we're proud of her."
She admitted she wasn't in
near the shape she was during
her playing career.
"[Tayler Tolefree] and I came
in and hit a couple balls, but
really that was about it," Carmichael said. "Today was the
first time I jumped and hit, so
I'll let you guys know tomorrow how I feel."

Soccer team looks to freshmen class for improvement over 2014

SKYLAR ROLSTAD
@SkyRolSports

Kansas soccer was believed

by most to have had a tremendous 2014 season. The team
was ranked as high as ninth in
the nation last year and was a
favorite for the Big 12 title.
Jayhawks coach Mark Francis, however, pointed out that
most of the Jayhawks winning
was done early in the year,
then results started to slide in
the other teams favor.
I think most, aside from
[the players,] would say that
last season was a huge improvement, but we were first
place in the Big XII with about
two weeks to go, Francis said
at the teams media day press
conference.
Kansas ended up finishing
third in the Big 12 after three
losses in the last four games
of the regular season. Then
the Jayhawks bowed out of
the NCAA tournament with a

3-1 loss to Missouri in the first

round.
We didnt feel like we
achieved what we could have
done, Francis said. We started it really well last year and
weve got to finish it.
A bounce of the ball our way
earlier didnt go our way later
on.
Thats why Francis is making
several changes to the team.
These include implementing a
new playing style and getting
freshmen incorporated into
the starting lineup.
Youre going to see a lot
more offense than we did last
year just in terms of the setup
of the formation, Francis said.
Among seven starters returning for Kansas is senior midfielder Liana Salazar. Francis
said his changes to the team
this season put a lot of emphasis on magnifying Salazars impact on the game.
In the teams two preseason
exhibition games, which the
Jayhawks won 5-0 over Drake

and drew 2-2 against North

Dakota State, Francis kept
three players in the midfield
just as last season but played
Salazar as an attacking midfielder with two forwards,
freshman Grace Hagan and
senior Ashley Williams.
Hagan, who came to Kansas
from Wichita, and freshman

If youve got kids in your

own backyard that are good
enough to play for us and
make us better, youve got to
get them.
MARK FRANCIS
Womens Soccer Coach

midfielder Parker Roberts, a

freshman from Overland Park
who has previously played for
the womens U-20 national
team, are expected to be big
contributors to the Jayhawks
this season.
Francis emphasized the im-

portance of recruiting the best

players from the state of Kansas.
Its great for us were getting
the best players from the local
area, Francis said. If youve
got kids in your own backyard that are good enough to

play for us and make us better,

youve got to get them.
Francis also noted the difference new venue Rock Chalk
Park made in his recruiting
ability. He said the difference
from the teams former playing
field to the new one was night

and day.
The most important thing for
Francis and Salazar was that
the freshman class is competent for starting positions going into the season.

DAILY DEBATE

Who is the top free agent the Royals should pursue this offseason?
high cost. Being the best
pitcher in free agency will
drive his asking price up but
being possibly the best player available this offseason
will make it even higher.
Last year, the Royals
werent shy about spending
the money on Alex Rios (a
one-year, $11 million deal)
and Edinson Volquez (a twoyear, $20 million deal). Thats
encouraging, although Prices
value might be a tier above
what the Royals have recently
dished out to free agents. But
if any position is worth the
money, its starting pitcher.
If the Royals can keep their
offense intact for the most
part, breaking the bank for
someone like Price is a great

Brian Mini
@DaftPunkPop

David Price
The Royals addition of
Johnny Cueto for the rest of
the season was a great move
to solidify the teams place in
the postseason. Unfortunately, theres a significant chance
that Cueto will sign elsewhere
next season as a free agent.
With that said, the 2016
Royals rotation still has the
chance to resemble the same
group that brought the Royals
to the World Series just last
season, even without Cueto.
Although there are one
or two contenders for the
star of the team, the Royals
could solidify themselves as
the future American League
Central favorites with an addition of a clear No. 1 starter. The best possible option
would be current Blue Jays
pitcher David Price.
The last two years had
James Shields and Cueto
headlining the rotation in
Kansas City. Throw David
Prices name into that mix
and he becomes the best
pitcher the Royals have had
in years.
Prices career 3.10 ERA is
an improvement on both
Shields and Cueto, and his
ability to strike batters out is
among the best in baseball.
In terms of accolades, Price
has been an All-Star in four
of the last five seasons. He
won the American League
Cy Young award in 2012
and has been one of the best
pitchers in baseball since.
As exciting as all of that is,
signing Price will come at a

idea. Its not the most likely of

scenarios but the alternatives
wont bring the same level
of success that someone like
Price could.
The Royals have one of the
best offenses in baseball this
year, and most of that should
carry over to next year. While
affordable offensive upgrades
may seem tempting, focusing
on pitching can ensure the
Royals are back in the playoffs
next year.
With a solid offense, a
healthy pitching staff and the
addition of David Price, the
Royals would once again be a
World Series favorite in 2016.

Yoenis Cespedes
Disappointing at the plate
constantly, the Kansas City
Royals Alex Rios and Omar
Infante continue to separate
themselves from a stacked
Royals roster in the most negative fashion. As of Saturday
night, Infante has gone up
to the plate 31 times straight
without a hit.
Fortunately, the Royals
picked up all-around stud
Ben Zobrist earlier this year
through a trade. Zobrist gives
manager Ned Yost more depth
and an eventual replacement
for Infante at second base.
This leaves Rios, lowering
the teams batting average significantly, in right field. To
solve the batting issues, as well
as give more power to a low
home-run hitting lineup, the
Royals should pick up outfielder Yoenis Cespedes.

Batting at around .300 all

season along with 23 homers
and 77 RBIs, Cespedes would
provide the perfect amount of
power to put the Royals lineup at the highest level.
Along with the offensive
firepower
that
Cespedes
would bring to the Royals,
they wouldnt be losing much
in the field. Cespedes has a
strong arm in the outfield and
has racked up 10 outfield assists this season. Rios, on the
other hand, has only three
assists on the year. With Alex
Gordon returning to the lineup in a mere couple of weeks,
Cespedes would complete a
near perfect outfield along
with All-Star center fielder Lorenzo Cain.
Rios has had a letdown year
all around, batting in the .230
to .240 ranges for the entire
season and seemingly losing
speed after 11 years in the
MLB. Instead of having Rios
batting at the end of the lineup, the Royals should sign
Cespedes for a couple of years

and bring in the first true power hitter the Royals have seen
in many years.
After picking up ace starting pitcher Johnny Cueto, the
Royals rotation is set for the
rest of the year. Although another pitcher would be a luxury, it isnt needed because Yordano Ventura is catching his
feet and starting to perform to
his high expectations. Along
with Ventura, the Royals have
Edinson Volquez, who has
proved to be a top pitcher for
the Royals, giving them depth
at the starting position.
Speed and fines have been
the story for the Royals offense in the past year, and
replacing Rios with a young,
powerful hitter would prove
to be a monumental decision,
especially come playoff time.
With hitters like Alcides Escobar, Eric Hosmer and Lorenzo
Cain that get on base so consistently, Cespedes could bring
in some serious runs.

Women's basketball coach
Brandon Schneider held a
golf tournament on Saturday
at Alvamar Golf and Country
Club in Lawrence. It was the
team's 10th annual golf tournament, but the first under
Schneider.
Nearly 40 four-person
teams participated in the
tournament. Attendees could
interact with the team and
coaches and bid on multiple items up for the live and
silent auctions. Some items
included a round of golf with
Schneider, dinner for eight
with Schneider, and a trip to
travel with the team to a Big
12 game.
Proceeds from the tournament went to the team
and the Lawrence Memorial
Hospital Breast Center. All
coaches and players were on
hand to help out with the
cause and bond with boosters
and fans.
"I think there's an enthusiasm and excitement level,
the support you get from all
those around you is pretty
obvious," Schneider said. "I
can't take credit for any of
this."
Schneider added that he
was grateful to all of the support staff and the golf tournament committee for all
they had done to put on this
event benefiting the cause.
Sophomore guard Lauren
Aldridge, who helped out on
Saturday, said her brother
would take her to play golf
occasionally.
"It's fun, I love coach Brandon and all the other coaching staff," Aldridge said.
"Being able to do something
for him is also benefiting our
program and is really helpful."

Junior forward Caelynn

Manning-Allen said a bigger
role was expected from her
new coach.
"I've been trying to focus on
getting better for my teammates," Manning-Allen said.
"A lot more is expected out
of me this upcoming season
and next season following. I
want to leave here being able
to make my mark and leading
my team as best as I can."
The team has already been
working hard this summer
with the strength and conditioning program, which
Schneider said he hopes will
help the team's performance
after last year's 15-17 season.
The players, who spent most
of the summer in Lawrence
preparing for the season,
just recently returned after a
three-week vacation.
With the schedule released
and a little over two months

I think theres an enthusiasm and excitement level, the

Chiefs hold off Seahawks 14-13 in second preseason game

DAVE SKRETTA

Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid insists he has a handle on who
will start along the offensive
line when Kansas City opens
the regular season, assuming
a couple guys get healthy.
Seahawks coach Pete Carroll? He remains decidedly
noncommittal about his own.
Alex Smith threw for 81
yards and a touchdown behind a hodgepodge bunch of
blockers and also tossed
an interception that was returned for a touchdown as
Kansas City beat Seattle 14-13
in their preseason game Friday night.
"You know what? For being
a makeshift group, I thought
they were OK," Reid said of
his line, which was missing
left tackle Eric Fisher to an
ankle injury and right guard
Jeff Allen to a knee sprain.
"They tightened up a little bit
and got better."
Meanwhile, the Seahawks
turned over three of their five
starters on the offensive line
from their preseason loss to
Denver, and the result was

some patchy protection for

Russell Wilson. He finished 9
of 15 for 78 yards, most of that
coming on three completions
to Jimmy Graham.
The play of the game from
Seattle's perspective was Bobby Wagner's interception,
which he returned 25 yards
for a touchdown that gave
the Seahawks a 10-7 halftime
lead.
"I just sat back and read
his eyes," said Wagner, who
scored his first touchdown
since he was a high school
tight end. "I've never had
a pick-six in my life. It felt
amazing."
Chase Daniel led the Chiefs
(2-0) on an 86-yard go-ahead
drive to open the second
half, hitting tight end James
O'Shaughnessy from 1 yard
for the score. The backup QB
has been sharp in preseason
games, throwing four TD
passes without an interception.
R.J. Archer played better
than he did last week for the
Seahawks (0-2), who lost regular backup Tarvaris Jackson
to a high ankle sprain in a loss
to Denver. But Archer was
unable to move his team into
range of a winning field goal

in the final minutes Friday

night.
"I was pleased with the intensity of the running and the
hitting across the board," Carroll said.

not play, while S Kam Chancellor was again absent as his

holdout continues. The Chiefs
used RB Jamaal Charles sparingly as they try to keep his
workload down.

OBSERVATIONS FROM THE GAME:

OFFENSIVE LINES
Seahawks: C Drew Nowak,
LG Justin Britt and RT Garry
Gilliam were new to the lineup from the preseason opener, joining LT Russell Okung
and RG J.R. Sweezy. They
performed better as the game
wore on, though Gilliam had
his hands full with All-Pro
pass rusher Justin Houston.
"I heard he was pretty good,"
Gilliam said, "so I thought it
was going to be a pretty steep
learning curve."
Chiefs: LT Eric Fisher (high
ankle sprain) and RG Jeff
Allen (knee sprain) did not
dress, nor did their replacements fare well. Paul Fanaika
started at tackle and was consistently pushed off the line of
scrimmage, and Laurent Duvernay-Tardiff was manhandled at his guard spot.

ROOKIE WATCH
Seahawks: WR Tyler Lockett
made a nice catch while working with the first team, but
was bottled up in the return
game. Lockett played at Kansas State, a short drive down
Interstate 70.
Chiefs: CB Marcus Peters,
the No. 18 overall pick, had
a solid home debut. C Mitch
Morse, drafted in the second
round, struggled to deal with
Seattle's starting interior line.

MISSING STARS
Seahawks RB Marshawn
Lynch made the trip but did

INJURY UPDATE
Seahawks: CB Earl Thomas,
who had shoulder surgery in
February, was among many
Seahawks who did not dress
for the game. Thomas returned to practice Tuesday.
Chiefs: LB Dee Ford was leveled by Seahawks RB Christine Michael in the second
quarter. Reid said after the
game that Ford may have a
fractured rib.

Kansas soccer drops game against Nebraska and ties Minnesota

SKYLAR ROLSTAD
@SkyRolSports

Kansas soccer lost 3-0 to

Nebraska in Lincoln, Neb., on
Friday after giving up three
first-half goals. The team then
tied Minnesota 0-0 after overtime on Sunday in St. Paul.
We were obviously very
slow to get going at the start of
the game, said Kansas Coach
Mark Francis after the Nebraska game in the teams press
release. Our speed of play
was way too slow in the first
15 minutes and we couldnt
get into any kind of rhythm. I
thought there were some good
things that we did, but we need
to come out ready to play from
the first whistle. We have to
learn from today and move

forward.
Francis, however, was more
pleased with his teams performance against Minnesota.
We settled into the game
pretty quickly and had the
better (play) for sure, Francis
said. We had more clear-cut
opportunities and they didnt
really have a good chance until
right at the end, which we defended very well. I was really
happy with how we competed
today.
On Friday, the Jayhawks
started slowly in the first regular season game of the year.
Within 38 minutes, the game
was already decided as Nebraskas Jaylyn Odermann
scored from the penalty spot
to extend the team's lead to
3-0. That goal was Odermanns

second; Katie Kraeutner also

scored for the Cornhuskers.
The score may not have told
the entire story of that game,
however. The Jayhawks still

playing well and outshot the
Cornhuskers eight-to-one in

Ten opponent, the Minnesota
Golden Gophers, on Sunday.
Kansas seemed to be the better
team in the first half with eight
shots to Minnesotas two, but
the second half was more even
as Minnesota recorded four
shots to Kansas two. Kansas
took one shot in each of the
two 10-minute overtime periods while Minnesota took two.
Freshman forward Grace Hagan led Kansas in shots with
four against Minnesota. Liana
Salazar and Parker Roberts
led the team in shooting with
three each against Nebraska.
The game was hardly a midfield battle, although it was
scoreless, as the teams totaled
22 corner kicks. Minnesota
goalkeeper Tarah Hobbs re-

corded eight saves. Freshman

Maddie Dobyns started in goal
for the Jayhawks and recorded
three saves. Against Nebraksa,
Dobyns also played and made
three saves.

OFFENSE
Quarterback
Montell Cozart Has the
inside edge because hes the
only guy with experience.
Deondre Ford Has backed
up Cozart down the stretch of
camp. He's more comparable
to Cozart than Ryan Willis or
Carter Stanley.
Ryan Willis Strong-armed
freshman who performed beyond his years at fall camp.
Carter Stanley Another
freshman.
Runningback
Keaun Kinner Darren
Sproles-like back who absolutely dominated at the junior
college level last year. Will

most likely lead the team in

all-purpose yards.
DeAndre Mann Led all
returning running backs with
399 yards last season.
Taylor Cox A six-year
runner who will be an asset as
a blocker.
Taylor Martin Two-start
freshman who has spent time
with the 2's in camp.
Wide Reciever #1
Joshua Stanford Added
to the roster the night before
camp began. Best wide receiver throughout camp.
Chase Harrell Talented
freshman who has progressed
a lot since spring ball.

Wide Reciever #2
Tre Parmalee Leads all
returning receivers in yards.
Came into fall camp as the top
receiver and had an impressive
fall.
Quincy Perdue New addition from UAB who will slide
in when needed.
Slot Wide Reciever
Steven Sims, Jr. A freshman that Beaty has worked
with closely and should get
some starts.
Shakiem Barbel Senior
who saw time against Duke,
but posted no statistics.
Derrick Neal or Darious
Crawley Young, speedy re-

ceivers who should see action

out of the slot.
Tight End
Ben Johnson Expected to
lead the team in targets this
year.
Kent Taylor 6-foot-5 hybrid tight end who can block
and catch. Could lineup outside some.
Left Tackle
Jordan Shelley-Smith
Athletic lineman who fits well
in the new air raid scheme.
Clyde McCaulley Freshman who has been roughed
up in camp, but has improved
with reps.
Left Guard

Jacob Bragg Redshirt

freshman who received a fourstar ranking out of high school.
Bryan Peters Very well
could win this job in his fifth
year with the Jayhawks.
Jayson Rhodes Can play
across the OL, but fits best at
OG, where he played before
transferring.
Center
Joe Gibson or Keyon
Haughton Gibson started
for a stint last year. However,
Haughton has taken plenty
of first-team reps in fall camp
and closed out last year.
Right Guard
DAndre Banks Trans-

ferred from Trinity Valley

Community College and has
this spot locked down.
Will Smith Transfer from
Butler Community College
who didn't play last year.

Right Tackle
Larry Mazyck Made nine
starts at right tackle last season. 6-foot-8, 343 pounds.
Will struggle to fit into a fast
paced scheme.

Kicker
Matthew Wyman You
know its rough when a kicker
is one of the team's best returners, that's when you know
it's rough.

Volleyball notebook: Strong schedule, transfers and outside hitters

experience playing Division I
volleyball. Bechard said he was
excited to see what they can
do while wearing the Jayhawk
uniform.
[Driskill] was actually on
that team that beat us in Allen
Fieldhouse in 2012, Bechard
said. Shes played high-level
volleyball for three years. She
understands that. We didnt
know what we were getting in
a teammate and work ethic.
Shes been an outstanding addition in those two areas too...
Shes going to be somebody
that can add depth to a lot of
positions and probably go out
and get a lot of big numbers
for us.
Anna Church is the same
thing. We were able to get her
this spring and have her on the
foreign trip. Shes been in that
mix before. She actually played
in the Fieldhouse in 2012 for
Saint Louis and saw the other
side of it.

The unprecedented streak

continues for Kansas volleyball
as it serves up the 2015 season.
Kansas has qualified for the
NCAA tournament in the last
three seasons. If the Jayhawks
qualify again this season, it
will be the first time in team
history that they will advance
to the tournament four years
in a row.
The women spent their summer training, learning and
forming chemistry as a team
to prepare for the upcoming
season.

SUMMER TRAINING
The team spent two weeks in
Europe, spending their time
training and learning about
the international culture of
volleyball.
We got to play everybody all
the time, Coach Ray Bechard
said during media day. There
were matches against the Italian National Team, which
thats one of the top 10 teams
in the world, and all the way
down to a couple other club
teams.
Aside from training in Europe, senior outside hitter Tiana Dockery, sophomore setter
Ainise Havili and sophomore
outside hitter Kelsie Payne
were invited to train at the
United States Collegiate National Team program in New
Orleans.
They invited 36 collegiate
kids to train with great coaches and three of those happen to
be from Kansas, Bechard said.
They represented us in a great
way. Any time you get 10 days
of training, you play against
high-level competition, the
expectation is that you conduct yourself, you play hard

Senior Tiana Dockery attempts to score over the heads of alumnae Sarah McClinton and Tayler Tolefree on Saturday, Aug.22.

and play with some purpose,

its going to do nothing but
help them and their personal
brand, but also help the brand
that is Kansas volleyball.
TEACHING POINTS
Last season ended abruptly
after Kansas lost to Arkansas-Little Rock in the first
round of the NCAA Tournament. Bechard said he has
mentioned the loss a couple
times as a teaching point.
Some things broke down in

that match, Bechard said. [It

was] one and done. The mentality of how that feels [isnt
fun].
There were opportunities to
go up 1-0 in that match and we
didnt take advantage of it, Bechard added. The longer you
let a team hang around in that
scenario and the longer they
feel they have life, they start to
build another life of their own
and the confidence begins to
build.

LOSS OF ALBERS AND MCCLINTON

Chelsea Albers and Sara McClinton were integral for Kansas volleyball for the last four
seasons. Filling their shoes
isnt going to be an easy task.
They both had big numbers
over their career, Bechard
said. If you look at big wins
last year, a lot of times McClinton was getting big numbers.
Albers was getting a big defensive play. From a physicality
standpoint, they were huge.

HOYT/KANSAN

Thats going to force us to play

at a little different tempo, a little quicker. We have enough
volleyball talent to do what
we want to do, but certain it
would be remiss if we didnt
appreciate the efforts theyve
given us the last four years.
INCOMING TRANSFERS
Ashlynn Driskill and Anna
Church are two incoming
transfers that bring a lot to the
table for the team. They both
have three years of starting

SCHEDULE STRENGTH
Not only does the mens basketball team boast a strong
nonconference schedule; the
volleyball team will take on a
tough slate as well.
Bechard said he felt that
Arkansas would be a top 25
team at some point this season, along with Duke, and he
mentioned that the University of Missouri-Kansas City,
Northern Colorado, Gonzaga
and Missouri State all have a
chance to win their respective
conferences.
Overall, Kansas faces seven teams that played in the
NCAA tournament last season
(Marquette, Texas, Iowa State,
Kansas State, Duke, Oklahoma
and Northern Colorado).

As football fall camp wraps up, receiving corps come into focus
CHRISTIAN HARDY
@hardynfl

Kansas football wrapped up

the portion of fall camp that is
open to the media on Friday.
The hour-and-a-half practice
that head coach David Beaty
gave access to churned out
some interesting nuggets.
The wide receiver corps is
coming into shape. Beaty
named three players when
asked who had separated
themselves in fall camp at
the receiver position: transfer junior Joshua Stanford,
freshman Steven Sims, Jr., and
senior Tre Parmalee. Those
three were also on the first
team offense and will likely
be the receivers when the Jayhawks go with three-wide receiver sets to start the season
Stanford and Sims outside,
with Parmalee slotted inside.
Freshman wide receiver Jeremiah Booker might be able to
get into the mix soon too, but
hes sidelined for now with a
cracked collarbone. Beaty is
hoping to have him back in a
few weeks.
Beaty loves Sims. Hes been
playing the outside, but at
5-foot-10, 165 pounds, the
freshman can step into the slot
as well. Three times during
practice on Friday, Beaty
pulled Sims aside and talked to him one-on-one. That
teaching style is definitely
Beatys thing, but to pull Sims
aside that often says something about his relationship
with him. Theres just a lot of
things he doesnt know, a lot
of little technique things that
were giving him right now
that Im seeing him just digest
every day, Beaty said after
practice. Hes very smooth and
methodic in his route running,
and has had a very good camp.
Dont be surprised if you see

Sims start a lot of games this

year as a true freshman.
Kent Taylor is a monster.
The 6-foot-5 tight end sat out
last year because of transfer
rules after following Charlie
Weis to Kansas. Now the redshirt sophomore is expected
to get snaps, and he was showcased a bit with the first team
on Friday with the starting
tight end Ben Johnson resting
during 7-on-7. Towering over
defenders, Taylor was a consistent target for quarterback
Montell Cozart. Hes going to
be an asset for the Jayhawks
going across the middle and
up the seam, but he wont stay
inline to block that often, so
he'll lose snaps that way. Taylor was on the list that Beaty
named of players who have
stood out through camp.
Montell Cozart is the guy
at quarterback for Kansas.
Beaty said after practice that
this offense lends itself to having a quarterback take the keys
to the offense and run with the
job with confidence that it is
theirs. That quarterback looks
like it will be Cozart, although
Beaty hasnt announced that
yet. We have to give that guy
some rope to be able to toss
him the keys and let him play
a little bit, Beaty said. We
dont want robots at that position. We know how robots
at the quarterbacks position
ends look at Cozart in
Charlie Weis system last year.
If Cozart wants any chance of
being a Big 12-caliber starter,
hes going to have to be able to
run with the job, and it looks
like thats Beatys plan.
David Beaty said these
players have stood out in
camp on the defensive, then
offensive sides: S Tevin Shaw,
DE T.J. Semke, CB Brandon
Stewart, CB Tyrone Miller, LB
Keith Loneker, Jr., LB Macquis

JAMES HOYT/KANSAN
Quarterback Montell Cozart makes his read before he passes against Iowa State on Nov. 7, 2014. Cozart did not start for much of last season, but has landed
the job in the absence of senior Michael Cummings.

Roberts, QB Montell Cozart,

WR Tre Parmalee, OT Jordan
Shelley-Smith, OG DAndre
Banks, TE Kent Taylor, RB
DeAndre Mann.
Quick Beaty presser notes:
Defensive backs coach Kenny Perry took wide receiver
Eric Rivers and moved him to
cornerbacks over the last few
days. Perry coached Rivers
in high school at Bowie High
School, so he knows what he
can do. He logged eight tackles in his first day at corner
this week. Defensive end
Dorance Armstrong is expected to feature as a third-down
rusher this year. Beaty has
had to make do with the tackle
depth he has, as its one of the
weakest positions on the roster
when it comes to depth. Offensive guard Jayson Rhodes
has played some tackle, and so
has freshman Clyde McCauley
III, who Beaty says has improved by getting bodied by

defensive end Damani Mosby.

Beaty moved up practice
from the evening to 10 a.m.
to prepare for the teams first
game against South Dakota
State, which has an 11 a.m.
kick time. The scrimmage on
Saturday was at 10 a.m., too.
Quick
practice
notes:
Cozart is the starting quarterback, but transfer Deondre
Ford is right behind him. Ford
took all the second team reps
on Friday, with Ryan Willis
and Carter Stanley running
7-on-7 on the other half of the
field. This was the first time
Ive seen Cozart with some
designated runs, including the
read option. Thats probably
his strength. Bobby Hartzog, Jr. dropped five balls in the
90 minutes of practice which
was open to media. It wasnt
pretty, but he hasnt been running with the first team since
spring anyways. Freshman
Taylor Martin was running

as the second team running

back, while KeAun Kinner
was with the No. 1s. Some vets
were getting rest during 7-on-

7, so thats probably why Martin was so high, but it doesnt

mean he wont see some reps
at running back this season.
