INDEX
BY NICOLAS ROESLER

When considering what she wanted to
study, Jennifer Hunt knew that a degree in
the arts would be a little risky.
But, her passion outweighed her skepti-
cism, so Hunt decided to enter the School
of the Arts.
Now, as she prepares to graduate in May,
Hunt said she is taking steps to set herself
apart in the competitive workplace.
Youre only going to be a starving artist
if you dont want to do the work, Hunt, a
senior from Lawrence, said.
In addition to a full schedule, Hunt is also
starting a website to sell her scarves, purses
and accessories.
Army of Artists
According to the most recent numbers
put out by the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
artists held 221,900 jobs in 2008. That made
up almost 2 percent of the labor force, just a
little behind the national armed forces. Of
those employed artists, six-in-10 were func-
tionally self-employed.
Mike Savage, a KU graduate from the
School of the Arts, found success as a self-
employed artist in Kansas City. As the owner
of Sav-Art Galleries, which now has a loca-
tion on the Plaza for the holidays, Savage
said artists these days must be upfront and
aggressive when trying to get their work
seen.
A lot of artists that want to be straight art-
ists coming out of school
are kind of in
a dif-
ferent world, Savage said. Not all of them
have the understanding of how it works out
there.
He said he never denies an offer for work.
He said artists need to go to restaurants,
galleries and studios to find any place that
would carry their work. Although the busi-
ness is competitive, Savage said there are
plenty of opportunities out there.
EntrEprEnEuriAl
EnthusiAsm
John Sebelius, a graduate student from
Topeka, has a fashion line that carries his
drawing on recycled clothing. He said that
his business made him realize that to be a
successful artist means being a successful
entrepreneur.
There can be a division in the art world
between the business side and the art side,
Sebelius said. And for me I was passionate
about both, so I was able to find a marriage
between those two worlds.
Sebelius said artists need passion
and perseverance to survive the hard
times. They also need flexibility.
That is why Sebelius is consider-
ing going into teaching, which he
said would allow him to be cre-
ative while guiding others artistic
development.
Working hArd for

According to the same 2008
statistics, different types of artists
receive varying incomes.

Jennifer Hunt, a senior fromLawrence, displays some of her gallery work she has weaved on a loom. Hunt will be graduating this May with a Textile Design degree, and entering the world of struggling artists. Hunt says she feels prepared and
ready. I dont really feel that worried. Its a matter of going after what you really want,Hunt said.

As the time to make life and
career decisions gets closer, more
post graduate students are either
seeking to enter the job market
through alternative means or not
at all.
Locally and nationally, more cur-
rent and graduate students than
ever in the past are signing up
and joining organizations such
as the Peace Corps and Teach for
America. The Peace Corps is a gov-
ernment volunteer program estab-
lished by executive order in 1961 by
former President John F. Kennedy
to improve the social and economic
development of foreign countries.
Teach for America, founded by a
Princeton alum, places recent col-
lege graduates and working profes-
sionals to teach in low-income and
urban communities.
Jefferson Baum, the recruitment
director for Teach for America for
the University, said he thinks the
increased participation in organiza-
tions such as Teach for America is
partly due to students and graduates
wanting to be a part of, in a sense, a
national movement.
National and regional awareness
about the achievement gap is up
and just that sense of being part
of the group that is spearheading
education reform in the country is
appealing, Baum said.
Baum said through the past five
years the number of people apply-
ing for the program has nearly
doubled.
In 2007, Business Week named
Teach for America No. 10 on its list
of Best Places to Launch A Career,
and Baum said more people are rec-
ognizing it as a platform to possibly
get them in the job market.
Kristen Watkins, a 2009 graduate
from Lenexa, said her decision to
join Teach for America came after

Victoria Heiman, a freshman
from Tonganoxie, smoked her first
cigarette when she was 15 at a
party with her friends.
People were smoking, and
I was like, Alright, Ill try one,
Heiman said. It tasted good, and
that was it.
Then, Heiman said, she started
getting little cravings for nico-
tine throughout the day, and her
addiction got more severe as time
went on.
I got my first pack, then I got
my first carton, then I got my first
three cartons, Heiman said.
Now, Heiman said she smokes
about seven to 10 cigarettes a day.
Ken Sarber, a health educator at
the Wellness Resource Center at
Watkins Memorial Health Center,
said the majority of college stu-
dents who smoke start out as what
he would call social smokers,
like Heiman. However, Sarber said

Son steals, swallows

WAsHInGTon, Pa. Police

they had found the other. online

as musicians or painters, averaged a
salary of $48,300. Craft artists, such
as carpenters or welders, averaged
$32,570. The national average for all
careers was $88,640.
Mary Anne Jordan, chairwom-
an and professor in the visual arts
department, said the School pre-
pares students for job markets that
are not that dissimilar from any
other profession. She said the future
depended on what people are will-
ing to do in their lives and what will
satisfy them.
Some people are willing to just
work in their garage and just get by,
Jordan said.
REALITY CHECK
Many of Hunts already-graduat-
ed friends have at least two odd jobs
in addition to working as an artist.
As for her own plans, Hunt said
she would take a year off school to
contemplate her options. She said
she would either pursue a career
in textiles or return to graduate
school.
No matter what, work is work,
a job is a job, Hunt said of her atti-
tude toward career prospects.
Edited by Emily McCoy
a couple of her high school friends
were accepted and finished their
first year of teaching.
Watkins, a strategic communica-
tions major, said the skills she has
learned while teaching are transfer-
able skills that will continue to help
her in other fields, although she
plans to finish her masters degree
and continue in education.
Ben Wiechman, the Universitys
Peace Corps recruiter, said interest
in the Peace Corps has definitely
risen in recent years as well.
According to the Peace Corps
website, 8,655 Peace Corps volun-
teers were serving in 77 host coun-
tries as of Sept. 30, which is a 13
percent increase from 2009. The
website said more Americans are
serving as Peace Corps volunteers
than there have been since 1970,
when more than 9,000 volunteers
were working in 59 countries.
Wiechman said the numbers
are up not only nationally but at
the University, too. Since August,
Wiechman said he has nominated
nearly 20 students and he is sure
nominations will surpass 30 by July.
Wiechman said the Peace Corps
is currently attempting to expand
to 10,000 volunteers. The growth
comes following the budget increase
in funds allocated to the organi-
zation from $340 million in 2009
to $446.15 million in February, at
the request of President Barack
Obama.
The increase in volunteers and
members comes regardless of
reported improvements to the job
market.
According to a Wall Street Journal
article, the National Association of
Colleges and Employers index of
college hiring increased to 126.4
in October, compared with 86.8 at
the same time last year. The article
said the index is based on sur-
veys of employers and nearly half
of employers surveyed said they
planned to increase their college
hiring.
Despite the increase, an April
article in the Harvard student news-
paper, The Crimson, said 17 percent
of Harvards class of 2010 applied
for Teach For America.
Wiechman said he thinks the
unstable state of the economy and
market does put the idea of vol-
unteering or joining these types of
programs in the forefront of peoples
minds.
The economy is just kind of
making it more of an option for
people, Wiechman said.
Jackie Koester, a senior from
Hoisington, was recently nominated
to the Peace Corps but she said the
state of the economy and market
had nothing to do with her decision
to join.
Koester said traveling abroad in
the past inspired her to do it again.
Many of Koesters friends who are
recent graduates continue to work
in the service industry or move back
in with their parents because of a
shortage of jobs, she said.
I find it daunting to think that
Im deciding my entire future,
entering the job market and I would
much rather be volunteering abroad
than living with my parents, though
I love them dearly, Koester said.
being a social smoker is like play-
ing with fire.
Most do it socially, and then it
turns into three a day, then four a
day, and then half a pack a day,
Sarber said. Its kind of crazy how
quickly it happens.
Sarber said the major prob-
lem with most college students
isnt their addiction to nicotine,
however. Instead, its the relation-
ship they have developed with
the drug. Many students depend
on the hand-to-mouth relation-
ship they have with cigarettes to
get through stressful times or to
cure boredom. Sarber said some
students also use cigarettes as a
crutch in social situations to meet
and connect with new people.
Sarber runs KanUquit, which is
a one-on-one, six-week program
that takes students through the
quitting process for free. Sarber
said the majority of college smok-
ers dont want cigarettes to always
be a part of their lives.
Nobody has came to me and
said I want to be a smoker,
Sarber said.
Elise Shea, a junior from Prairie
Village, said she takes breaks from
studying to smoke to avoid over-
loading her brain with informa-
tion. However, Shea said she plans
to quit after she graduates.
Once I get
a job and stuff,
I dont want
to smell like
smoke, Shea
said.
Sarber said
most students
aim to quit
smoking when
they graduate,
because they
know that
smokers could have a harder time
getting a job if they go into a job
interview smelling like smoke.
If they smell smoke on you,
they know your insurance is going
to cost them more money, and
then they have a health issue,
Sarber said. Its going to be tough-
er for you to get that job.
However, he said quitting right
after graduation could be a chal-
lenge, especially if college students
have been using cigarettes in their
social scenes.
If they use
cigarettes to
go out and
meet people,
when they get
past college
life into the
real world,
what are they
going to do?
How are they
going to learn
new social habits? Sarber said.
Sarber said sometimes students
desire to quit smoking before they
graduate because they feel like they
have lost control of the situation.
Students often say I was just
planning on being a social smoker,
it turned into addiction, and I
dont like it controlling my life,
Sarber said.
Money is also a motivator for
some students to quit smoking,
Sarber said. Today, a pack of cig-
arettes costs around $5. Sarber
said if someone smokes his or her
entire life, he or
she could spend
over $100,000
on cigarettes to
feed the habit.
S a r b e r
said the most
i mp o r t a n t
part of taking
i nd i v i du a l s
through the
quitting pro-
cess is making
sure they are really ready to quit.
He said he asks students why they
smoke, why they want to quit, and
what plan they want to take. He
also makes sure it is the right time
for someone to quit. He said the
withdrawal symptoms of quitting,
which include lack of concen-
tration, could change someones
mind about which week during
the semester to stop smoking.
Quitting during finals time is
not really a good idea because
students can
have trouble
focusing on
their homework
or studying,
Sarber said.
Smokers also
need to tell their
friends, family
members and
significant oth-
ers, after they
have made the
decision to quit, because then they
become accountable as well.
If they dont tell their friends
that theyre trying to quit, then
its too easy for them to cave in,
Sarber said.
Students interested in quitting
can participate in tomorrows Great
American Smokeout on campus.
The smokeout encourages smok-
ers across the United States to go
smoke-free for 24 hours. Sarber
said those 24 hours could serve
as a starting point for people who
want to quit or it could at least put
that thought process into motion.
Students interested in partici-
pating in KanUquit can contact
Ken Sarber at (785) 864-9573 or
ksarber@ku.edu. Sarber said he
would never turn anyone away.
I just tell people I am here
when theyre ready, Sarber said.
Usually students enjoy that fact
that Im not going to sit there and
preach at them. Im not going to
yell at them. Im just going to let
them carry on, and when theyre
ready to give it up, they can give
me a call.

Drunken men force
another to eat hair
LAWreNCebUrG, Ky. Two
central Kentucky men were sen-
tenced to probation in connec-
tion with a bizarre case in which
a third man said he was forced to
eat his beard after an argument.
The Lexington Herald-Leader
reported 47-year-old Troy Holt
and 51-year-old James Hill were
sentenced Tuesday in Anderson
Circuit Court.
Harvey Westmoreland of Law-
renceburg had said Holt cut of
his beard and forced him to eat it
while Hill allegedly held a sickle
blade to Westmoreland and his
brother during the May incident.
Holt could not say why he
made Westmoreland eat his
beard other than that things got
out of control after drinking.
He added, I aint got no ex-
cuses about what I done.
As a condition of their sentenc-
es, neither Holt nor Hill is to have
contact with Westmoreland.

Wizards wind up
for seventh flm
Harry Potter and the
deathly Hallows: Part 1 is
the best flm in the franchise
since the fourth, The Goblet
of Fire.That flm was fash-
ioned as a straight-ahead,
old-fashioned thriller; this
new one pushes things even
further, into the realm of pure
horror.
ears are dismembered;
wizened old ladies are
transformed into man-eating
pythons; and our young
heroes race across an increas-
ingly barren landscape, as
the existential panic mounts
all around them.
The only thing missing
from the exceedingly bleak
massacre is a chainsaw.
directed by david yates,
who made the previous two
Potter pictures, deathly
Hallows is one of two movies
based on the fnal volume
in J.k. rowlings boy wizard
series. (Part 2 will be released
next July.)
That puts a lot of pressure
on screenwriter steve kloves,
who has to incorporate a
great deal of exposition and
set-up, most of which wont
get paid of for another seven
months.
yet deathly Hallows
succeeds as a self-contained
work, mainly because yates
and kloves have done such
an efective job creating and
sustaining the grim mood.
even if you cant follow
all of the many beats in the
story and unless you are
utterly steeped in Potter-iana,
some of the talk of hor-
cruxes and polyjuice potion
is inevitably going to sail
over your head you still
fnd yourself pulled along by
the flms urgent, unnerving
momentum.

Te Beatles say Let it be,
and allow music on iTunes
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
SAN JOSE, Calif. After years
of singing out of tune, Apple and
the Beatles announced Tuesday
that they were able to work it
out and the Fab Fours legendary
pop tunes are now appearing on
iTunes, the worlds largest music
retailer.
The groups 13 remastered
studio albums are now available
for purchase in digital format
through the Cupertino, Calif.,
companys online store. Fans can
also get a special Beatles Box Set
that includes the first-ever Beatles
concert in the United States at
Washington Coliseum in 1964.
We love the Beatles and are
honored and thrilled to welcome
them to iTunes, Apple CEO Steve
Jobs, a fervent Beatles fan, said in a
statement. It has been a long and
winding road to get here. Thanks
to the Beatles and EMI, we are
now realizing a dream weve had
since we launched iTunes 10 years
ago.
The deal, consummated after
years of friction over trademark
disputes, represents the marriage
of two of the worlds most pow-
erful pop icons John, Paul,
George and Ringo, and Apple.
I lost my youth waiting for
this day, said Needham & Co.
analyst Charles Wolf. Its by far
the greatest rock group thats ever
been assembled, and getting them
on iTunes is very symbolic. Its not
going to affect Apples earnings or
sales in any material way, but it
nonetheless adds to the brand. Its
a brand-builder.
The two remaining living
Beatles also issued statements.
Were really excited to bring
the Beatles music to iTunes, Sir
Paul McCartney said. Its fantas-
tic to see the songs we originally
released on vinyl receive as much
love in the digital world as they
did the first time around.
I am particularly glad to no
longer be asked when the Beatles
are coming to iTunes, Ringo Starr
said. At last, if you want it you
can get it now the Beatles from
Liverpool to now! Peace and Love,
Ringo.
The wives of deceased band
members John Lennon and
George Harrison also publicly
embraced the deal.
Getting the Beatles on iTunes is
a deeply personal accomplishment
for Jobs, said Tim Bajarin, presi-
dent of Creative Strategies. Steve
is a huge fan of the Beatles and
has wanted to have their music on
iTunes since Day 1.

Urban moves on from loss of his
guitars by starting on new album
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
Keith Urban was scheduled to
start recording his new album,
Get Closer, in Nashville on May
5. So, three days before that, he
had all his most prized guitars,
which he kept at home, moved
to the same storage facility where
he kept his backup instruments,
amplifiers and other gear.
He, his wife, actress Nicole
Kidman, and their daughter,
Sunday Rose, were in Hawaii,
where Kidman was shooting a
film, when the torrential storms
hit Nashville on May 3 and left
the Soundcheck Nashville stor-
age warehouse used by Urban
and hundreds of other musicians
under several feet of water for
nearly a week.
One of the guitars severely dam-
aged was his Shattered Mirror
Telecaster, custom-made for him
at the Fender Custom Shop in
Corona by senior master guitar
builder Yuriy Shishkov.
I felt like Id drowned the
Mona Lisa for Yuriy, at least,
Urban said. He put so much time
into that guitar. But it just swelled
up, all the mirrors broke, the neck
got all warped. Its the unfortu-
nate reality of new wood. Its still
very porous, absorbent, it sucked
in lots and lots of water. But the
50-year-old Fenders and Gibsons
fared fantastic.
But rather than delay starting
on the new album, Urban went
to work using borrowed, rented
or newly acquired instruments,
a decision that required a new
perspective that he decided to
embrace rather than fight.

I
fell in love with fashion in
high school when I religiously
watched the reality TV show
Project Runway. Te show had
everything a girl like me could ask
for. It took
place in New
York City and
featured bub-
bly and funny
contestants who
had the ability
to transform
clothing into
works of art.
Two years
ago, my fresh-
man year at the University, I saw a
fyer calling for entries for KUs own
version of the show. My favorite,
and possibly the most well-known
Project Runway winner, Christian
Siriano, was the guest judge. Te
preliminary challenge was to make
an outft out of paper bags. I entered,
but was not a fnalist.
I still went to the show that year
and the next and had an amazing
time seeing KU students creations
walk down the runway.
Tis year, I fnally got to be a part
of SUAs
Project
Runway,
but not as a
contestant.
Because of
this column,
I was asked
to judge
this years
competition.
Of course, I
agreed to do it and got to share my
opinions of the contestants designs
alongside Louise Roe, a fashion
journalist, and two textile students
people who really know their
stuf.
When the frst set of designs came
down the runway, I was immediately
inspired by the artwork that each
designer produced. Each of the fve
designers collections expressed
originality, hard work and so much
talent. I was extremely impressed.
Although each designer followed the
same three challenges (design a look
inspired by an element, a decade and
Lady Gaga) each look was unique to
its creator.
Te color white connected all of
Ashley Estradas designs. Her air ele-
ment design was a sophisticated yet
modern beach.
Paige Hunters looks were all
made with fabrics that are difcult
to sew, especially a chocolate colored
satin. Her Lady Gaga inspired look
was made out of lime green and
black sleek plastic or vinyl. Hunter
completed the look with amazing
fnger gloves she made, which the
judges adored.
Rena Detrixhes frst two looks
were a refection of the designer,
sweet and demure. But her Lady
Gaga look was a bold and daring
pair of three-dimensional bra and
panties.
Timur Senguns looks had an
earthy, natural feel. He chose beauti-
ful, colorful fabrics that were sewn
together with amazing crafsman-
ship. His earth-inspired dress had
a hard-to-sew, pleated skirt and
pockets.
Winner Zeke Westermans
designs looked like they came
straight of the runway from New
York fashion week. He was able to
interpret each challenge with chic
sophistication. He even used real hu-
man hair to make a Lady Gaga style
little black dress.
SUAs Project Runway is an
important KU tradition because it
gives students an opportunity to
express themselves through fashion
in a way other than what they wear
themselves and proves that fashion
can be art.
Since this column is about fashion
for college students, I had to ask
Louise Roe, whose motto is saving
the world one stiletto at a time, what
advice she has for college students
on a budget. She said, You can get
such good stuf cheap now, you just
got to rack through it. See whats in
your closet already and update it
with accessories.
I couldnt have said it better
myself.

T
here is a growing demand
for alternative milk
products that restaurant
and caf owners have ignored
for far too long. It seems they are
always slightly behind when it
comes to responding to the ever-
changing needs of their customers.
At most cafs, a customer is able to
choose either milk or soymilk with
their desired beverage, but this is
no longer meeting the customers
needs adequately, and so many
potential customers are simply lef
out.
One would argue if a person
really wants a latt at the Pulse,
they should just deal with the
current options and get milk or
soymilk. However, for many people
this is simply not possible.
Everyone understands that
many people are not able to drink
milk because of a milk allergy or
because they are lactose intolerant,
but what about soy? Soy is one of
the most common food allergies
and many people are not able to
consume soy products because
of the phytoestrogens (a weaker
form of estrogen) present in
soy. According to Kristen Bieler
of Runners World Magazine,
phytoestrogens are capable of
altering the bodys hormone
levels, which can be especially
problematic for women who are at
risk for breast cancer.
Te hormone altering
capabilities can also be
troublesome for women with
certain hormone-fueled conditions,
such as endometriosis. According
to the University of Maryland
Medical Centers website:
Endometriosis occurs when
endometrial cells the cells that
make up the lining of the uterus
travel outside the uterus to other
parts of the body. Tese misplaced
cells are stimulated by hormones
and form scar tissue, which can be
painful.
Approximately 10 percent of
American women are afected by
endometriosis myself included.
When I eat too much soy, or other
trigger foods (including regular
dairy products) I experience an
extreme eruption of pain that can
last for hours. Not all women with
endometriosis will experience this
kind of pain, but it can lead to
other problems, such as infertility.
Now, I would understand if
economics were truly at play here
and businesses simply could not
provide an alternative product to
consumers, such as myself, who
are not able to indulge in a dairy-
free, soy-free latte in-between
class. However, economics is
not a driving force. Instead it is
an overall misunderstanding of
customers who require (or desire)
alternative options. Many (but not
all) restaurant or caf managers
have an overall negative view
towards needy customers, and
refuse to accommodate for them.
Tis, unfortunately, is a lose-lose
for both parties; the restaurants
and cafs lose customers, and the
customers are not able to dine out
with ease, without fear of some sort
of bodily repercussion.
I would like to propose that
businesses, such as the Pulse, begin
to buy Silk Almond Milk, which
is both soy- and dairy-free and
is exactly the same price as the
product currently being used, Silk
Soymilk.
Almond milk has an extremely
long shelf life (at least a month),
and would appeal to many health-
conscious consumers, and those
with special needs. Of course it
would be necessary to adequately
advertise the new product, but
businesses could easily do this by
posting a sign (as they do with all
limited-time ofer specials).
Businesses must be sensitive to
the changing needs of consumers
if they truly want to want to live
up to the motto, Te customer is
always right.

While acknowledging that a
larger issue of a college com-
munity driven to drink in excess
exists, I have to direct attention
to the real issue with a popular
highball cocktail of diuretics that
has transformed a justifed taboo
into a social norm. Te problem
is that Four Loko has success-
fully marketed binge drinking as
acceptable. Tis potent potable
propels its consumers from sober
to binging in just one pop of
the tab. Te University defnes
binging for men, as fve drinks
in a row and for women, four or
more. No other type of barley
brew sold in a non-resealable
container this popular exists with
enough alcohol content to reach
binge state before fnishing. Tis
monumental leap in portion size
undeniably separates Four Lokos
apart from other malt liquors. It
is a step in the wrong direction
for an already alcohol infatuated
culture.
Four Lokos have done to
alcohol what McDonalds did
to french fries by pushing the
standard serving to beyond
extreme levels. Phusion Projects
LLC, the makers of Four Loko,
have supersized alcohol servings
and marketed them like bright
and shiny happy meals. Its this
deceptive combination that has
tricked university students into
believing that Four Loko can be
consumed in a moderate man-
ner. Simply put, there is no way
to safely enjoy a Four Loko in
one night.
In addition to the alcohol, the
cafeine and 14 spoonfuls of sug-
ar do not help anything go down
except the consumer. Kansas
would be extremely negligent to
continue endorsing any kind of
alcohol product whose standard
serving is medically threaten-
ing to ones health. Just recently,
Washington state banned Four
Lokos. Hopefully, it will not take
several trips to the hopspital for
Kansas to realize the same mea-
sure would be benefcial here. In
the meantime, if you choose to
drink a Four Loko, please regard
doing so as binging and be pre-
pared for the consequences.

Editors note: Samantha Collins
will travel to Immokalee, Fla. over
winter break to volunteer with the
Coalition of Immokalee Workers and
the Student Farm Alliance for an al-
ternative breaks program.
Ben Jeffries tried to be a migrant
worker for one day in the hot
Florida sun in the tomato fields of
Immokalee, Fla. just to see what
it was like.
Jeffries, a senior from Tonganoxie
and a member of Lawrence Fair
Food, and his friend woke up at 4
a.m. one day last May and waited
in a parking lot full of migrant
workers looking for a job. They
walked from Jefe to Jefe, or the
crew leaders, asking for work until
one man eventually gave them a
job to help tear out the tomato
fields because the harvest season
was officially over.
They worked in the humid
heat pulling plastic tarps from the
ground. Jeffries body ached after
a few hours of work and he still
had hours of work to complete. He
took several breaks while the other
field workers yelled at him to keep
a decent pace.
We were definitely the slowest
workers there, Jeffries said.
Jeffries said the workers earned
sub-poverty wages and were forced
to live in apartments with rents
comparable to those in Manhattan,
N.Y. He said it was normal for 12
or more men living in one resi-
dence. The workers only received
about 50 cents for each 32 pounds
of tomatoes they picked.
Jeffries and a group of other
students visited the Coalition of
Immokalee, or CIW, workers last
May to work to achieve better
working conditions for the tomato
pickers of Immokalee. The cam-
paign that CIW leads now wants
the large supermarket chains in the
United States, like Kroger, which
owns Dillons, to sign on to help
end these poor working conditions.
This week is national supermarket
week of action and Lawrence Fair
Food, which is a student and com-
munity led group that is working
with the CIW, is taking action.
Shona Clarkson, a senior from
St. Louis, said the best way for a
person to help is to learn about
the issue and work with, not for,
the CIW. Clarkson, also visited
Immokalee last May. She said it
was like visiting a foreign country.
It definitely feels like you
are not somewhere in America,
Clarkson said.
She said most of the inhabitants
of the town are migrant workers
from South and Central America.
She said most of the workers are
lonely men who left their families
to work in the U.S.. and all they do
is work in order to support their
families.
Immokalee is not a very happy
place, Clarkson said. I wouldnt
say that I liked Immokalee.
However, Clarkson said the best
part about visiting Immokalee
was meeting the people who run
the coalition. She said hearing the
migrant workers talk about their
struggles while fighting to make a
better livelihood for themselves was
powerful.
It wasnt all about doom and
gloom, but also that everyone start-
ed taking huge strides to combat
the things that kept them in their
place, Clarkson said.
Aaron Stables, a senior from
Derby, said the farm workers
werent the only ones being exploit-
ed within the supermarket world.
The consumers students, fami-
lies, anyone who purchases food
are being exploited.
Our options are already picked
out for us, Stables said. We as
consumers are only seen as pocket
books and mouths.
When Stables visited the CIW,
he said he and the other students
attended many workshops to learn
more about this issue. He said he
learned that consumers were the
most powerful agents in this cam-
paign.
Jeffries said the best thing a per-
son can do by visiting the CIW is to
bring what they learned about the
campaign back home to their com-
munity to make a change. And that
is what they are doing this week.
Last night, Jeffries, Clarkson and
Stables took action against Kroger.
The Lawrence Fair Food sent del-
egates to the regional Kroger head-
quarters in Hutchinson to deliver
a letter of concern stating the poor
working conditions of the farm
workers and asked them to join the
campaign of selling only fair trade
produce. This Friday, students and
members of the community will
join in South Park to march to the
Dillons at 1740 Massachusetts St.
to deliver another letter to the man-
ager asking for change.
Students are consumers,
Clarkson said. Students have a
voice and they have power to end
farmer and consumer exploitation.

Fast food still popular, unhealthy
BY KELLY STRODA
kstroda@kansan.com
College students like things fast and cheap
especially when it comes to food.
Im all about cheap food, said Bailey Patton,
a senior from Benton. She said she probably eats
fast food about once a week.
Pattons not alone.
According to a survey in 2006 by Pew
Research Center, 73 percent of Americans said
convenience was their number one reason for
eating junk food. In the same survey, 59 percent
of respondents ages 18-29 said they ate a meal
from a fast food restaurant at least once a week.
Ann Chapman, dietitian with the Wellness
Resource Center at Watkins Memorial Health
Center, said understanding why fast food is
unhealthy is simple. Most fast food is usually
high in calories, fat and sodium.
Kurt Schieszer, a freshman from Mission,
said he also eats fast food about once a week.
I know its terrible for you, Schieszer said.
He said he usually eats fast food because its
convenient and inexpensive.
Chapman said there are ways to make
fast food slightly better for you.
Keeping things simple
can help, Chapman said.
That means nixing sauces such as mayon-
naise or ordering hamburgers instead of cheese-
burgers. At McDonalds, ordering a McDouble
without cheese saves 50 calories, for exam-
ple. Ordering a side salad from the dollar
menu instead of fries is also a healthier option,
Chapman said.
Plus, Chapman said, if a student is craving fast
food, he or she could order a kids meal instead
of a regular meal to get smaller portions.

Jayhawks, Bears face of to break sixth-place tie in Big 12
VOLLEYbALL
SOccER
By IAN CUMMINGS
icummings@kansan.com
The Jayhawks will battle the
No. 2 defense in the country when
they take on the Baylor Bears in
Lawrence on Wednesday. Kansas
(16-11, 7-9 Big 12) topped Baylor
(14-13, 7-9 Big 12) in a four-
setter earlier in the season in
Waco, Texas.
Junior outside hitter Allison
Mayfield said good defense would
be as important for the Jayhawks
as for the Bears. The teams are
tied for sixth place in the Big 12
Conference.
Its gotta be a good one,
Mayfield said. Whoever wins
this one moves up and the other
one goes down.
The Jayhawks have won three
of their past four matches with
a five-setter against Texas A&M
last Wednesday and sweeps of
Colorado and Texas Tech. Kansas
has beaten Baylor in their past
two meetings, but the all-time
series remains in Baylors favor
at 19-13.
Junior setter Nicole Tate said
she expected the Bears to be bet-
ter prepared Wednesday than
they were in the previous meet-
ing.
Its going be one of those
matches where were going to need
to come out strong, Tate said.
Definitely have to pay attention
to them tomorrow.
She said Baylors blockers were
adept at making contact with the
ball and helping the back row pick
up their oppo-
nents shots.
Which is
something that
theyre really
good at, and
its frustrating,
Tate said. So
thats some-
thing were
going to try to
avoid, or just
work around.
Baylor finished a series sweep
of Kansas State on Wednesday,
defeating the Wildcats 3-1 in
Manhattan. The Bears offense is
led by middle blockers Elizabeth
Graham and Tori Campbell.
Graham leads the team with 186
kills, a .331 hitting percentage and
76 blocks. Campbell is second in
all three categories.
The Bears defense is No. 2 in
the nation for digs per set and
leads the Big 12 by a wide margin.
The Baylor back row averages 18.8
digs per set, which is two more
than any other team in the confer-
ence.
Senior Caitlyn Trice and junior
Allison King have led the Bears
defense with 5.23 and 4.17 digs per
set, respectively. With Trice lead-
ing the league and King ranked
sixth, they are the only two team-
mates to share
top-10 status in
the Big 12.
Baylor has
lost three of its
past four games
with Kansas,
two of those in
Lawrence.
The Kansas
offense is led
by senior out-
side hitter
Karina Garlington and junior
outside hitter Allison Mayfield.
Garlington is seventh in the Big
12 with 3.54 kills per set and
Mayfield carries a season aver-
age of 2.89. But they have been
helped out lately by senior out-
side hitter Jenna Kaiser, who has
averaged 3.64 kills per set over
the past four matches and scored
a season-high 17 kills over Texas
A&M Wednesday.
On defense, freshman libero
Brianne Riley is also coming off of
a strong performance, recording a
career-best 32 digs Wednesday.
Riley leads the team with 3.88
digs per set for the season, but has
averaged 4.93 over the past four
matches.
I think Baylor obviously has a
very good defensive team, Riley
said. Kind of like coach said,
whichever team plays the best
defense and the team with the
most digs will probably win.
Match time in Lawrence is 6 p.m.
at Horejsi Family Athletics Center.
The contest will be televised on
Metro Sports in Lawrence.

Time management is often a
struggle for college students. For
student-athletes, it can be espe-
cially difficult because they work
to succeed both in the classroom
and on the field. The Kansas soccer
season is over for senior forward
Kaitlyn Cunningham, but she is
still working to get her degree. She
recognized that learning to man-
age her time was a process.
I kind of learned (time man-
agement) in high school, playing
club and high school soccer, but it
is no where near what it is in col-
lege. I think freshman year was a
big struggle and you kind of notice
it in your grades, Cunningham
said. You get used to it, but it kind
of depends on the class too. You
are obviously taking harder classes
as you move up.
Its evident that the soccer pro-
gram places a high priority on aca-
demic performance. Seven Kansas
soccer players were recognized
for their academic excellence this
year. Senior midfielder Erin Lewis
and junior midfielder Jordyn
Perdue were named to the Big 12
All-Academic First Team, while
Cunningham, senior defender
Lauren Jackson, senior midfielder
Rachel Morris and sophomore
midfielder Shelby Williamson
were named to the second team.
Student-athlete, and student is
the first part of that, coach Mark
Francis said. Obviously we put a
lot of emphasis on that.
Cunningham said that Francis
does a good job of stressing the
importance of academics to his
players.
Obviously we are here to play
soccer, but at the same point we
are here to get an education, she
said. Most of us arent going to
go on and play professionally. He
makes it a point that if you arent
going to get the grades, then how
are you going to be able to play
soccer?
This marks the sixth straight
season that six or more Kansas
soccer players have received Big
12 All-Academic accolades, some-
thing that Francis says reflects
their program.
Weve been fortunate that we
have recruited
good athletes,
but also good
students. You
arent going to
have that many
players make
Al l - Academi c
Big 12 that many
years in a row if
you arent bring-
ing in the right
type of kids, he
said.
Cunningham said there are two
important factors that student-
athletes should keep in mind to
stay ahead in the classroom.
Number one, staying on top
of it with your professors. But
number two, staying on top of it
yourself and getting things done
ahead of time so they arent mad
at you because you are turning it
in late, she said.
Cunningham is working toward
a degree in exercise science. She
has an internship set up in the
weight room for Kansas athletes
next semester and she plans on
trying to get into graduate school
next year. After playing for the
Kansas soccer team, Cunningham
said the biggest thing she has
learned is her work ethic, on and
off the field.
Obviously I tried to keep up
with my academics, but I also
tried to work hard at soccer and
balance the two, she said.
Francis said Cunningham has
a work ethic that sets her apart
from other athletes.
Kaitlyn is an unbelievable kid.
She has made the most of the abil-
ity that she has, which not every
athlete does, he said. I think a
lot of athletes
come in and
have some
natural abil-
ity and dont
n e c e s s a r -
ily make the
most of it.
Francis said
her approach
to things has
made her suc-
cessful, and
Cunningham hopes this mental-
ity will help her get a job when
she is finished with school.
I would hope that they would
kind of notice that Im going to
put in the time and effort to get
the job done, she said.
Cunningham was a captain this
year, and Francis attested to her
leadership qualities. He also has a
lot of confidence in her future.
I think she is going to be suc-
cessful in whatever she does, he
said.

every other week for one day of
treatment and one day of tests for
12 weeks. His parents, Heather
and David Marshall, live in Dallas,
which made it possible for them to
visit him at the Tulsa treatment cen-
ter. However, Marshalls father was
normally the only parent that was
able to make the trip, as his mother
had to stay at home and look after
Marshalls three younger siblings.
The numerous four-hour drives
to Tulsa was one of the hardest
parts for Marshall. Most of the time
he rode with a friend, but he occa-
sionally had to make the drive to
chemotherapy treatments by him-
self.
That was really hard for me,
he said. I was 19 at the time. I just
felt like the road gives you a lot of
time to think. You just think about
everything that is going on around
you and how your life could change
in any second.
Marshall ended up taking incom-
pletes in his classes during the fall
2009 semester when he was first
diagnosed with cancer. To make
up for the lost time, he took 21
credit hours during the spring 2010
semester, in addition to attending,
but not participating in, football
practices. All of this was going on
in the midst of his chemotherapy
treatments in Tulsa.
. Because he was gone so much,
he became distant from the football
program that was basically his life
before the incident. He needed help
from his friends.
My team was there, Marshall
said. But they were also going
through their struggles transition-
ing to a new coaching staff and, for
the most part, I dont feel like they
had the time to
focus on me and
focus on devel-
oping a rela-
tionship with a
new coaching
staff.
Ma r s h a l l
struggled to
find people
to turn to that
could offer him
support during
this difficult time in his life.
At times there was only like
one or two people I could talk to,
he said.
One of those people turned out
to be sophomore offensive line-
man Joe Semple. Marshall ended
up moving in with Semple and
they became best friends. Semple
was one of the few people who was
there for Marshall the whole time.
When hed come home from
cancer (treatments), he wouldnt
be in the best of shape, Semple
said. I just felt like I had to keep
his spirits up and make him laugh
the best I can and get his mind off
the cancer and just be there for him
to talk to about whatever hes going
through.
Then one day at practice,
Marshall met someone else that he
could talk to. This person, Connor
Olson, ended up being one of his
biggest inspirations during this
entire ordeal.
Olson was a student at Tonganoxie
High School in Tonganoxie. He had
been diagnosed with terminal bone
cancer. One day he came to a Kansas
football practice. Olson had played
football when he was younger but
now, with one leg amputated and
struggling with
the effects of a
terminal cancer,
all he wanted to
do was play ball
again and be
around football
players.
Ma r s h a l l
and Olson
met at prac-
tice and there
was an instant
bond between the two. Besides
the cancer, they had something
else in common. Both Olson and
Marshall wore many types of can-
cer bracelets. Marshall wears Lance
Armstrongs LiveStrong bracelets,
others from his parents and one
that says believe. The two friends
exchanged bracelets and every
day Marshall looks at the one that
Olson gave him that reads Cure
for Connor.
Olson and Marshall maintained a
friendship after they had met. They
kept in contact through texts and
phone calls, but eventually Olson
began texting less and less. Marshall
knew something was wrong. Olson
had had a stroke and Marshall said
he died a couple days after.
Me talking to him, knowing
that my life is on the line just like
his was I could not be here just
like he isnt, Marshall said. That
was one of my main driving forces
for me to come back, for people,
to be an inspiration to people with
cancer or people without cancer.
Today, Marshall has the chance
to be that inspiration. When chemo
treatments became less severe, he
knew he was getting better. He
found out in August that hes now
cancer free.
I feel like I came out a better
person, a stronger person, Marshall
said. I was always a very confident
person but after I got diagnosed
with that I feel like my confidence
was stripped away from me and
then as Im coming back now I feel
like rejuvenation.
Football is once again becom-
ing a huge part of his life. Marshall
has gone from chemotherapy
treatments last semester to being
dropped right back into the grind
of things this semester. Hes been
attending meetings, class and prac-
tices; everything a healthy football
player would do. The only excep-
tion is that he hasnt been playing.
Hes being slowly worked back into
the physical aspect of the game.
Two weeks ago Marshall only wore
a helmet during practice. Last week
he wore a helmet and shoulder
pads. This week hes in full pads and
next week he will participate in his
first full practice, less than a year
removed from having cancer.
It is really great to see a smile
on his face; it is really good to see
a young man who has had a lot
of tough times get better, coach
Turner Gill said. I am happy for
him, but I am also happy for our
football team as he continues to
make progress.
Thanks to the help of head train-
er Murphy Grant and Marshalls
academic adviser Glenn Quick, he
is slowly but surely moving back
into a normal college football player
lifestyle.
For Marshall however, his work
with cancer isnt complete. Now
that hes a survivor, he wants to
help other people. He encourages
anyone struggling with anything,
cancer or otherwise, to reach out
to him for support. He wants to
use his experience to inspire people
through troubles in their own life.
People with cancer, he said,
once youre in the meat of it, when
its like your fourth treatment and
you cant see the end of it, just know
theres an end and you can see death
and you can beat death.

Last Saturdays 20-3 loss to
Nebraska officially eliminated the
Kansas football team from postsea-
son play. They needed to win three
in a row to finish 6-6 and be eligible
for a bowl game. Now, the best case
scenario for the Jayhawks is a 5-7
finish, and even that would be a
stretch consid-
ering their final
two opponents,
Oklahoma State
and Missouri.
With the sea-
son nearing an
end however,
coach Turner
Gill still isnt
ready to start
talking about
next year.
Our objec-
tive here still
is to continue
to win football
games, he said
Tuesday. Were
not totally in
here talking
about whats in the future and all
that, were trying to beat Oklahoma
State.
Gill proved this mentality in
hinting that freshman quarterback
Jordan Webb could play this week-
end, as well as starting junior quar-
terback Quinn Mecham.
We may play both guys, but
were gonna go ahead and start
Quinn this ball game and kind of
go from there.
Playing Webb alongside Mecham
the last two games officially opens
up the starting quarterback posi-
tion going into next year. Not that
Mecham was a lock to start next
season anyway, but Gill is showing
fans hes not worried about next
year. He wants to win every game,
and hes proving that by starting a
de facto quarterback controversy
the last two weeks of the season in
games that wont matter much in
the long run.
Six weeks after his coach claimed,
hes our quarterback, after the
28-25 upset over Georgia Tech,
Jordan Webb was knocked out of
the Texas A&M game and he hasnt
played since.
It was partly due to his shoul-
der injury, but not completely. Gill
noted that Webb was near 100 per-
cent before the Nebraska game.
Last week he was a little bit
limited. He did get some reps, he
got quite a bit of reps. But this week
theres no issue injury-wise; hes
ready to go.
Even if Webb was near perfect
health, Mecham starting in Lincoln
wasnt a huge surprise. He managed
the Iowa State game very well, and
after an average first half against
Colorado, he led the team to the
biggest comeback in school history.
The wheels fell off last Saturday
against Nebraska, however. After
Mecham completed only three
passes for 15 yards and no touch-
downs, things are getting shaken up
once again at the Anderson Family
Football Complex.
After that embarrassing perfor-
mance, Gill claimed that Mecham
wasnt too hard on himself, and that
he was ready to continue improving
this week.
If he wants to win, or at least stay
in the game Saturday, Mecham will
need to improve fast. It was obvious
that the coaches didnt fully trust
his arm against Nebraska, opting
to throw the ball only 15 times all
night. When they did decide to
throw deep, Mecham badly under-
threw sophomore wide receiver
D.J. Beshears for an interception.
Beshears had his man beat and
could have easily scored with a
good throw.
The old saying, If you have two
quarterbacks, you really have none,
isnt fazing Gill or his coaching
staff, who dont seem concerned
with next year right now.
If Mecham struggles against the
less-than-stellar Cowboy defense,
expect to see Webb try and recre-
ate the magic he delivered against
Georgia Tech way back in week
two.

field, including 2-3 from behind
the arc, along with three free
throws.
It feels good to come out
there and help my team out,
Jackson said. I have focused on
my three-point shot a little bit
more this year and during the
summer so it felt good to go out
there and show my three-point
skills.
Kansas had a more difficult
size matchup in the post than it
has seen so far this year.
I wouldnt say it was intimi-
dating at all for me because I
am an aggressive player, but for
the post players as a group we
battle each other every day so
this wasnt anything new for us,
Jackson said. I think we learned
to adjust to how they were play-
ing us and made points to the
adjustment.
Jackson still sees areas for
improvement on defense before
taking on Texas A&M-Corpus
Christi.
For me it would be contain-
ing my player one-on-one and
just being helpful and communi-
cating with the guards and post
players, Jackson said.
Defensively the Jayhawks had
10 blocks and seven steals, but
on offense Kansas had 16 turn-
overs. Freshman guard Keena
Mays attributes this to the team
moving too fast. The majority
of the turnovers were caused by
miscommunication during pass-
es that would fly out of bounds.
We have to slow the game
down and let it come to us, not
try to rush, Mays said. We are
getting good looks at the post,
but maybe the wrong angle.
For the second straight game
all 11 Jayhawks that played were
able to score. This was due in
part to Kansas 19 assists.
That just shows how big of
a threat we are, Jackson said.
It is good that we can all score
because we can all contribute
something together and once we
all develop what we are supposed
to do and what our roles are, we
are going to be an unstoppable
team.

n most cases, going from rags to riches
takes a good bit of time. Horatio Alger
used to write about protagonists who
underwent struggles against poverty and
eventually found (at least some) wealth
and social respectability. In more modern
times, Jay-Z did everything from slanging
you-know-what to working in a Brooklyn
McDonalds before he took charge of Roc-
A-Fella Records (and the world). Usually
it takes a little time to gain supremacy.
However, two different cases, one of absurd
athleticism, the other of unrivaled deter-
mination, discount this theory. It seems
that there are indeed shortcuts to reach the
mountaintop.
From Leavenworth to Philly Heaven
In May of 2009, Michael Vick was synony-
mous with Lucifer. Forget the boogie man.
Parents could tell stories of Vick to send
their kids right to sleep.
After serving 19 months in Leavenworths
United States Penitentiary for staging dog
fights, Vick had more than just PETA call-
ing him names. He was once the No. 1
overall draft pick and the face of the Atlanta
Falcons. He epitomized all that was exciting
about football. Then, in what felt like a sec-
ond later, he was Americas truest villain.
Oh, how things change for the truly gifted.
Vick got out of prison, signed with the
Philadelphia Eagles (who got a ton of flak
for that one), and served as the third-string
quarterback behind Donovan McNabb and
Kevin Kolb. One McNabb trade and one
Kolb injury later, Vick was starting again.
After several impressive performances at
the helm, Vick rewrote his history on the
regular seasons biggest stage Monday
Night Football.
Just this Monday, his Eagles torched
McNabb and the Redskins 59-28. Vick
finished with 333 passing yards, 80 rushing
yards and six touchdowns (four passing, two
running). The dominating victory put an
exclamation point on Vicks MVP campaign.
Once again, the NFL loves Vick.
Philadelphia loves Vick. And, as inconceiv-
able as it may have seemed not long ago,
America loves Vick, too.
From Mine to Marathon
Edison Pena was rescued Oct. 13 after
being trapped for 69 days in a Chilean mine.
Three-and-a-half weeks later, he finished the
New York City Marathon.
While stuck in the mine more than 2,000
feet underground with 32 others, Pena ran
between three and six miles per day in worn-
out work boots. Upon his release, marathon
officials immediately invited Pena as an hon-
orary guest. But Pena wanted to run, honor-
ary or not.
He finished the race in five hours, 40
minutes and 51 seconds, and blamed his bad
knees for his time. Like that really mattered.
Pena is now a part of marathon folklore.
Hes also no longer stuck in a Chilean mine,
rather, hes stuck as a Chilean hero.
Music from the Vaults
Pena is a huge Elvis Presley fan, singing
the kings tunes for reporters far and wide.
But Presley just doesnt fit the bill here.
Internationally adored, its hard to say that
any of his work is truly vaulted. So where
does that take us? The East Oakland, Calif.
hip-hop scene, of course!
Outside of the addictive title track, Souls
of Mischief s 93 til Infinity never hit the
mainstream. To this day, I still dont know
why. This 1993 masterpiece of an album is
consistently brilliant and forever changed
the way the West rhymed. Four teenagers
never spit so well. Rhyming in the middle of
sentences, tearing apart one theme, riding
over cool jazz and heavy bass and doing it all
in voices that have barely reached an adult
octave there isnt anything out there that
sounds quite like this.

L
loyd Koby saw many sides
of Wes Santee as a team-
mate of his in high school
and college at Kansas. But the only
side he saw of Santee when they
ran together was the bottom of
Santees heels as they kicked back
and spurred him forward.
Like the Michael Johnson, or
even Michael Jordan, of track and
cross country in the 1950s, Santee
was recognized as one his gen-
erations best athletes by his early
twenties, and should be regarded
as so for the rest of history.
On Sunday, Kobys dear friend
died at the age of 78, leaving
behind a legacy of records in both
Kansas track and field and the
world. Koby ran the second leg
of the 4x4 mile relay team with
Santee that broke the NCAA col-
legiate record in 1953.
I can remember well when we
set the collegiate four-mile relay
record, Koby said, and him com-
ing in like an antelope running the
last leg of the four-mile relay.
Koby said Santee had pre-
dicted, and even guaranteed,
that the team would break the
record that day. Koby and Santee
were co-captains for the National
Championship team in 1953, and
as Koby had seen throughout his
years with Santee, the man could
fulfill any of the bold statements of
what he was able to do.
Once, after a session of heckling
from his Acacia fraternity broth-
ers, Santee said he could beat them
all in a race from Tonganoxie
along Highway 10 to their house.
He said each of the 28 house
members could run half a mile,
relay style, for the 14 miles, while
he ran the entire length.
He beat them with plenty of
time to spare.
His Acacia fraternity brother
John Quarrier was one of brothers
challenged to this race.
I formed, on the spot, the judg-
ment that this brash 20-year-old
guy from Western Kansas had a
unique persona that would require
zero reliance on his world class
running ability to rally people
around him in his role as a leader,
Quarrier said through an email.
Koby graduated from Ashland
High School with Wes Santee and
remained his friend through life.
Although he was never able to
beat Santee in a race, his respect
for him never faltered. He said
Santee would help his teammates
out not only on the track, but also
with class work and personal mat-
ters.
He was just a great friend and
gentleman, Koby said.
In his time at the University
between 1950 and 1954, Santee
was one of the worlds top con-
tenders in breaking the elusive
barrier of the four-minute mile.
Despite his claim that he could
break the record mark, this was
the one area where his mouth
went further than his feet, barely.
His fastest time recorded was
4:00.5.
Santee did set the world record
in the 1,500 meters in 1954,
when he was timed in 3 minutes,
42.8 seconds at the Compton
Invitational. He also set the indoor
mile world record twice and the
indoor 1,500 meter world record
once in 1955. He also competed
in the 1952 Olympics in Helsinki,
Finland in the 5,000 meters.
Simply stated, Wes ranks
among the best of the best of our
generation, Quarrier said.
After an illustrious career
in college, Santee was deemed
ineligible in 1956, which ended
his track career. He then pursued
a career with the Marines, and
according to Koby, was a Marine
till the end. Santee was inducted
into the National Track & Field
Hall of Fame in 2005.
He was always very confident,
Koby said of Santees personality
throughout his life. You might
even say he had an ego as great as
his running abilities were, maybe
even a little greater.
Wes Santee is survived by two
sons and a daughter. And will for-
ever be remembered as one of the
best athletes to ever compete for
the University of Kansas.

After defeating South Dakota
on Sunday to start the season with
a victory, the Kansas womens bas-
ketball team is ready to continue
the season tonight. Tipoff is set
for 8 p.m. when the Jayhawks
face Texas A&M-Corpus Christi
at home.
Sophomore point guard Angel
Goodrich has a simple goal for
this game.
Coming out strong and getting
a win, Goodrich said.
Freshman forward Tania Jackson
led the Jayhawks in scoring with
13 points and attributed her suc-
cess to her fellow post players:
senior center Krysten Boogaard
and sophomore forward Carolyn
Davis. South Dakota double
teamed Boogaard and Davis for
most of the game, giving Jackson
open looks.
Being that Krysten and
Carolyn are such big threats down
low, I think they sagged off and
that gave me the opportunity and
advantage to get open because my
post player didnt know I was a
three-point threat, Jackson said.
Jackson hit 4-of-5 from the

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
BY MAX VOSBURGH

It was the summer of 2009 when D.J. Marshall
began to notice a lump growing on the side of his
neck. Everyone around him told him that it was
probably just a sports-related injury. After all,
Marshall was an athletic kid playing defensive end
on a team that had just won the Insight Bowl.
Marshall redshirted the year Kansas won the
Insight Bowl. He was eager to finally play his first
season at Kansas. Unfortunately, he only made it
through one game.
During the 2009 season, he began to notice
his weight dropping. He played at 240 pounds
but all of a sudden found himself weighing
as low as 215 pounds. Then other strange
symptoms began to appear: He was get-
ting bad night sweats and he noticed
the lump on his neck getting bigger.
He was sent to Lawrence
Memorial Hospital where doc-
tors took a biopsy. Soon after
he received a call that would
change his life forever.
It was the next day and
I was driving at the inter-
section of 23rd and Iowa,
driving back towards cam-
pus, Marshall said. It was
the doctor and he said its
lymphoma. It didnt bother
me at first because I wasnt
exactly sure what lympho-
ma was. He was basically
like, Its cancer and if we
dont get it checked out real
soon, it could be fatal.
The magnitude of what was
just told to him on the phone didnt really hit him
until he got back to campus and talked to all the
coaches. They tried to comfort him and let him
know everything would be all right. Then, they
apologized for the way they had been acting toward
him.
They were sorry for pushing me so hard because
during the year I was the worst college scholarship
athlete we had, he said.
The coaches were hard on Marshall that season.
His physical performance was down, his grades
were suffering and the coaches thought it was
because he had been going out and drinking and
hanging out with girls. No one really had a clue
what was really going on inside his body at the
time.
After the phone call from his doctor and words of
encouragement from his coaches, he finally broke
down and cried. He knew life had now become less
about football and more about surviving.
It was Liz Laboda at Lawrence Memorial Hospital
who found the lymph. Marshall is lucky she found
it when she did. It was nearly too late.
There are four stages of Hodgkin Lymphoma.
Stage one is the least serious and stage four is the
most serious. Letters are also included to describe
the stage of cancer, mainly the letters A and B.
Patients with symptoms such as fever, night sweats
and weight loss are described with a B, those with-
out with an A.
I was 3-B, so I was on my way to be being fatal,
he said. If I would have come six months later, it
would have been non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, which
is terminal, so I could have died.
Marshall had more than 50 tumors throughout
his body. He began chemotherapy at the beginning
of the spring 2010 semester.
They were telling me that since I was a college
athlete and the youngest person in their treatment
facility that they were going to give me the hardest
treatment because they felt like I could deal with
it, he said.
Marshall drove from Lawrence to Tulsa, Okla.,
