Scientists say fossil Officials defend investigation is likely a new dino

AssociAted Press AssociAted Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Two Kansas fossil hunters say they think they found something new while digging in Montana. Jim Kirkland, a state paleontologist at the Utah Geological Survey, has examined photos of the fossil that Robert and Alan Detrich are uncovering and said it looks like a new type of ankylosaur. The low-slung heavily armored dinosaurs lived around 65 million years ago and munched on plants. This thing is worthy of note. There is no doubt about it, said Kirkland, who specializes in ankylosaurs. In my mind its clearly a new one. The brothers have been digging since May in a fossil-rich area near the town of Jordan. Theyve uncovered the ankylosaur fossils skull, part of its leg, ribs, armored plates and some vertebrae. Kirkland said it appears the creature measured about 30 feet long before its death, making it the biggest ankylosaur he had ever seen. He said typical ankylosaurs were 16 feet long, with one type, the ankylosaurus, measuring 20 feet. Its huge, said Robert Detrich, who discovered the fossil. Its bigger than any of the specialists have seen so far. Its got everybody pretty excited. Kirkland and the Detrich brothers hope a person or institution will step forward to buy the fossil for a museum, which would allow for further study to determine if it is indeed unique. The effort would involve cleaning the fossil and comparing it against related animals to make sure it isnt just a variation of a previously discovered dinosaur. Public display in a museum would also allow the brothers to seek naming rights should the fossil prove to be a first. Robert Detrich said, if given the opportunity, he would like to call it enormasaurus in honor of his late mother Norma. Its exciting, Robert Detrich said. It really is. When he came back and said its pretty clearly a new genus, and these guys write papers on ankylosaurs so they know their stuff. Robert Detrich, who is from Wichita, and his brother, who lives in Lawrence, plan to return to Kansas in about three weeks. KANSAS CITY, Mo. A phoned-in threat to a local motel and anti-government statements scrawled across a pickup truck prompted Kansas officials to shut down a 25-mile stretch of heavily traveled Interstate 70 west of Topeka for more than nine hours Monday. Nothing dangerous was found in either the motel or the pickup driven by Christopher Spence, 50, of Conway, Ark., but a Kansas Highway Patrol spokesman said investigators had no way of knowing that without taking a closer look. You are in a situation that if it came back negative on both the motel room and the vehicle, it seemed like a waste of time, said Highway Patrol Capt. Steven Zeller. On the other side of it, if we had an explosion or release of hazardous materials into the atmosphere and exposed motorists driving by, that would be horrendous. We decided to err on the side of public safety. The incident began midmorning Monday after someone called 911 and said hazardous materials had been placed in a room at the Ramada Inn in Junction City, and that the FBI should be called. The motel was evacuated while fire and hazardous material crews investigated. Soon after police issued a description of a suspect and vehicle, a Highway Patrol trooper stopped a pickup truck on I-70 west of Topeka. Spence, who was driving the truck, was returned to Junction City for questioning, while the interstate was closed in both directions to keep other vehicles away as authorities prepared to inspect the vehicle. We received information, troopers made the stop and we went from there, Zeller said. We couldnt take a chance on the safety of the motoring public going by that vehicle with the indicators we had. He said the writing on the pickup truck contributed to the extra caution by investigators. One comment written on the vehicle led us to believe it could be a deadly situation, Zeller said, without going into further detail. The interstate was closed from around 1:15 p.m. and reopened around 10:30 p.m. after investigators with the Highway Patrol, FBI and other agencies determined
I-70
there was nothing dangerous in Spences vehicle. He was being held on $100,000 bond after being charged with aggravated criminal threat. His case has been assigned to the public defenders office in Junction City, which declined to comment Tuesday when contacted by The Associated Press. Junction City Police Chief Tim Brown said in a news release that no motive for the threat had been determined. Kimberly Qualls, a spokeswoman for the Kansas Department of Transportation, said there were no major problems associated with detouring traffic from the four-lane interstate and onto state highways that in some cases ran through towns with speed limits of 20 mph. She said the detour added about 45 minutes to the average travel time through that section of the state. If we have citizens look at what is happening across the world, they should appreciate the extra steps taken to ensure the safety of everyone like we did yesterday, Qualls said.

Annual speech gives few new details on Cubas situation

(Ciego de Avila, Cuba) Cuba marked the 58th anniversary of Fidel Castros failed attack on the Moncada army barracks Tuesday without a speech from President Raul Castro. Instead, Cubans heard from his second in comand, who offered few new details while hitting standard themes such as organization, discipline and economic reform. The main speaker was 80-year-old Vice President Jose Ramon Machado Ventura, who said the country will move forward with economic reforms without haste, but without pause. We must make a definitive break with the mentality of inertia ... (and) evaluate how much more can be done with what is available, Machado Ventura said, before imploring the crowd and his countrymen to work harder and more efficiently. He repeated that the country was not abandoning socialism even as it embraced limited free market reforms. Order, discipline and rigor, he added, echoing the slogan on a billboard at the plaza. The July 26 holiday is often used to make major announcements, and Cubans have a lot of questions on their minds these days.

Leader vows loyalty to binLaden successor

(Sanaa, Yemen) The leader of al-Qaidas Yemeni offshoot on Tuesday pledged his groups allegiance to Osama bin Ladens successor, and vowed to continue the fight against corrupt Western-backed leaders. In a 10-minute audio message posted on extremist websites, Nasser al-Wahishi said his group al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula recognizes Egyptian-born doctor Ayman al-Zawahri as the new chief of alQaida. Al-Zawahri took over command of al-Qaida following the death of bin Laden in a U.S. raid in Pakistan in May. Al-Qaida-linked militants have taken advantage of the political turmoil engulfing Yemen to seize control of at least two towns and surrounding territory in the countrys south, forcing more than 100,000 people to flee the area as government forces carry out airstrikes and a ground offensive to regain control. My soldiers and those soldiers with me in the Arab gulf... will not give up nor give in until Islam is ruling by Gods will and strength, al-Wahishi said. With an estimated 300 members, the United States says it is al-Qaidas most active branch.

Woman strikes attacking kangaroo and survives

(Canberra, Australia) A 94-year-old woman struck an attacking kangaroo with a broom and managed to crawl to safety in her house in the Australian Outback before police subdued the animal with pepper spray. Phyllis Johnson said the kangaroo attacked her while she was hanging her laundry in her yard Sunday in the Queensland state town of Charleville. I thought it was going to kill me, Johnson told The Courier Mail from a hos-
pital bed. It was taller than me, and it just plowed through the clothes on the washing line straight for me. She said she saw a blur of red fur before the kangaroo knocked her down and kicked her prone body. Johnson told Australian media she managed to get to her feet and grab the broom to hit the animal enough times to daze it and escape. She fought it off herself with a bit of help from the family dog, her son said Tuesday. Rob Johnson said the kangaroo had a bit of a go at him when he arrived home from church, then he called police. He said his mother has a large gash on
her leg and is recovering from the attack. Senior-Sgt. Stephen Perkins, head of police in Charleville, said the first officer to reach the backyard was forced to spray the kangaroo to avoid being injured. The animal jumped away, then saw another officer at the back of the police car and went for that officer, and he also had to deploy his capsicum spray so the roo had to get sprayed twice, Perkins told The Associated Press. After that, it hopped away from the scene, but police could still monitor its location it didnt go too far.

Robbery victim recounts night

BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com
The cars headlights crept up on Matt Johnson and John Allred for about a minute before anything happened. Weeks after the robbery, and after testifying in court, Johnson, a senior from Salina, recalled that and said maybe he could have done something differently. Maybe he could have taken more notice and alerted his friend, and they might have fled. Hindsight is twenty-twenty. Who knew the cars occupants would jump out on Memorial Drive in the middle of the night, armed and masked, and hold them up for their cash and phones? But thats what happened at about 1:30 a.m. on June 23, according to Johnson and Allred, another senior from Salina, testifying at the Douglas County District Court July 19, during a preliminary hearing for the two men accused of robbing them. Johnson said he and Allred had some beers and cocktails that evening at the Jayhawk Cafe, 1340 Ohio St., where Johnson works as a barback, before taking a walk on campus. Theyd been friends since first grade, but hadnt seen each other in a while. They wandered along Memorial Drive, behind Strong Hall, where they were robbed. Johnson and Allred described their attackers as a stocky black man and a taller, leaner white man. Minutes after the robbery, police arrested Brandon Huggins, a 23-year-old soldier stationed at Fort Leavenworth, and Michael Gerald, 21, now charged with four felony counts each, including aggravated robbery. Huggins is white and Gerald is black. During the arrest, police recovered property belonging to Johnson and Allred. They also seized a bag of marijuana and a BB pistol. Johnson said he remembered the robbery well, but there were details that he wasnt sure of, such as the exact type of pistol used. If it was a BB gun whatever, he said. It looked real. Johnson and Allred testified that two men approached from the car, shouting at them to get on the ground. The black man approached first, pointing a pistol at them. The students complied immediately. Johnson testified that he thought both of the men were armed, and the defense questioned whether he could clearly describe the the white mans gun. He couldnt say what it looked like or just when exactly he saw it. He said he was focused on the gun right in front of him, held by the black man with the red bandana covering part of his face. Geoffery Loftus, a professor of psychology at University of Washington in Seattle, has studied eyewitness testimony and memory. He said witnesses sometimes affected concentrate on a weapon when one is present and pay attention to it at the expense of other details, such as the appearance of the person holding it. Another issue that the defense spent time on in the hearing was Johnson and Allreds state of mind. Both students said they had at least four drinks before leaving the Jayhawk Cafe, and both testified that they were somewhat intoxicated. Johnson said he wasnt sure anymore if the white man had a gun. He also couldnt remember details about the robbers clothes, except that they both wore white T-shirts. He said the suspects in court generally matched the body type of the men who robbed him, but that he wouldnt be able to identify them by face because of the masks. Some of it is a bit of a haze, he said. Its frustrating, not being able to remember more about the white guy. He said that it was difficult, when being robbed, to take into account all the questions that will be asked later. Next time, Ill make sure to pay attention to both of my attackers, he said. Loftus said that alcohol, fear and stress can interfere with perception and memory formation. The idea that the details of highly stressful events will be stamped in the memory, he said, was a misconception. What may happen is that such events are important to the person experiencing them, are recalled repeatedly, and become strong memories. But if details were remembered incorrectly, those would be stamped in as well, and witnesses may end up being very confident of incorrect facts. Johnson said that, although some details have escaped him, he believes Huggins and Gerald are probably the men who robbed him. They had our stuff in the car, he said. Does it get any more cut and dry than that? Johnson said he was glad the robbers left his cell phone behind. As soon as the two men drove away, leaving him and Allred lying in the parking lot, he called 911. I was really impressed with the police, he said. They were really prompt and professional. Seconds after reporting the robbery, Johnson heard sirens from two different locations. Police arrived minutes later to take their statements. But between that night and Tuesday, Johnson said, he was often left in the dark about the case. He had trouble reaching prosecutors by phone, and he didnt learn at what time he was to appear at the courthouse Tuesday until 30 minutes before the hearing started. The suspects are next due in court Aug. 2. Its been a little frustrating, he said. But they seem to be doing a fine job. He said testifying was a painless process that, at times, bordered on enjoyable. The opportunity to testify against the men who, prosecutors say, held him up at gunpoint has given him some satisfaction. Oh yeah, he said. Big time. Johnson said he isnt worried about facing the men in court, even though they are charged with felony intimidation of a witness and Huggins is free on bond. The robbery hasnt changed the way he lives, even if it has made him more wary. I still do the same things, he said. Im just looking over my shoulder all the time. One night this July, he sensed the glare of headlights creeping up behind him while walking with his girlfriend at night on an empty street in downtown Kansas City. A truck approached and slowed. A man inside leaned over and peered at them as he passed. This time, the vehicle kept rolling and disappeared. It was pretty terrifying, Johnson said.

Professional school fees can add up

BY SHUANA BLACKMON sblckmon@kansan.com
In addition to already expensive tuition, once in a professional school each student pays an additional fee per credit hour that goes directly to that school. Each program charges a different amount based on needed supplies and programs available to students, such as scholarships and technology available for student use. Most schools charge approximately $20 or $30 per credit hour. Excluding the two most expensive schools, the School of Business and the School of Law, if you take nine credit hours in a professional school, that can add up to an average of more than $300, according to KU websites. Most schools include student input to the use of funds, however not all schools have a formalized process where students give ongoing budget input, and many students dont know where these fees go. All of the money collected by course fees stays within the specific school and are supposed to go directly to the students in some way. Different schools have different needs, but many of the expenditures are similar. Most professional schools use allocations such as scholarships, tech support, facility maintenance and other student services. Since 2003, the University as a whole has collected $76.3 million through course fees. The past few years every school has increased their fees by 6 percent while overall tuition rose by approximately 7 percent, according to the University Differential Tuition Report from 2011, from the Office of the Provosts website.

Turning trash to treasure is not so simple

BY CHRISTY NUTT cnutt@kansan.com
Like most of the things in Heidi Yoders apartment, the antique lamp hanging from her ceiling came from the trash. Yoder originally saved the glass lamp from the dumpster. She later sold the lamp to a neighbor at a garage sale. When Yoder saw the lamp at the neighbors trash bin a couple of years later, she couldnt help but take in as her own one last time. For Lawrence resident Yoder, her lamp represents dumpster diving at its best community members trading items instead of buying new things. This is not a new concept for Yoder, who said she has been dumpster diving her entire life. Ive found lots of treasures along the way, Yoder said. Most times Yoder only picks items of interest but its a different story during move-out season. Ill go out hunting if I know that the KU students are leaving because they will leave a whole bunch of stuff that they dont want to take back home, Yoder said. Its usually still pretty useful. Yoders best finds include roller skates, records, clothing and furniture. However, according to the City of Lawrence, Yoder obtained these treasures illegally. A city code prohibits unauthorized individuals from going through or removing other peoples trash. Since January 2010, city officials prosecuted six people for unlawfully removing trash. Some people feel very strongly against others going through their trash because they consider it an invasion of privacy, Lawrence communications manager Megan Gilliland said. It is their understanding that the city will dispose of their trash without others going through it. The threat of identify theft also makes people uneasy about others rummaging through their trash, Gilliland said. The judge decides the penalty, which can be a fine ranging from $1 to $1,000 and up to 180 days in jail. According to the office of Lawrence supervising prosecutor Jerry Little, most people receive a fine of $100. For first time offenders the jail time is typically suspended, Little said. Yoder said she knows about the ordinance, but it doesnt stop her from dumpster diving. She has never received a ticket. If there is useful stuff that people can use then by all means they should take it, but they should be respectful of not making a mess or throwing trash around, Yoder said. AmeriCorps member of the Lawrence Social Service League Kendra Davis said the only people she has known the city to ticket for dumpster diving were homeless or poor. Davis said the Social Service League Thrift Store, 905 Rhode Island St., depends on dumpster diving as a way to receive donations of items that would otherwise be thrown out. There are a lot of people who dumpster dive that are stable people, very active in the community that
Christy Nutt/KANSAN
The city says to let it collect whats on the curb, but dumpster divers think otherwise. you would never guess as the type to dumpster dive, Davis said. They find things and donate them instead of giving a monetary donation. Two years ago, the Social Service League began sending its unwanted items to different organizations instead of discarding them. Previously, it depended on dumpster divers to clear out its dumpster between scheduled trash pickups, Davis said. The city only picked up the trash once a week, which was not enough for the agency, she said. The city will make changes to the trash pick-up schedule during moveout season to ensure that this isnt the case for Lawrence residents. We are aware of the amount of waste during the move in time, Gilliland said. So we do our best to pick it up as quickly as possible so that aesthetically it is not a problem and because we dont want people digging through the trash. The sanitation department restricts vacation time during the season to ensure there is enough staff available, Gilliland said. Trash pickup, which typically runs Monday through Friday, will run an extra day on Saturday, July 30, to areas with several apartment buildings and student residents, such as Oread Drive. If city officials feel there is still an overabundance of trash on Aug. 1, some crew members who typically pick up yard waste will be reassigned to help pick up trash, Gilliland said. Gilliland said that the city wants people to recycle and reuse in order to reduce waste, but that going through other peoples trash is not the way to do it. There are a lot of ways to recycle and reuse if people are willing to take the time to find out who will take their things, Gilliland said.

Bartering economy present in Lawrence

BY HANNAH DAVIS hdavis@kansan.com
During the hot Kansas summer, Brady Karlins day begins at 4:30 a.m., well before the sun first greets his fields. Karlin spends the 16 hours between the start and end of his workday digging, planting, and tending to his herbs, asparagus and tomatoes. Like most farmers, Karlin doesnt wage a daily battle with Mother Nature for the money. In fact, if customers cannot give Karlin a piece of artwork, a homemade microbrew or an original poem Karlin will dispense his homegrown zucchini for free. Karlin Family Farms, 3303 Kasold Dr., is an experiment in gift economics. In gift economies, participants trade goods and services rather than exchanging currency. We all have our own unique talents, Karlin said. I see those talents as gifts we can share with each other. Karlins farm is just one example of a bartering economy. As the economy continues to struggle, gift economies are becoming commonplace in Lawrence, ranging from Craigslist swaps to plans for a downtown holistic healing collective. Craigslist is littered with owners looking to part with a dishwasher in exchange for a deep fryer. Zoe Smith, a stay-at-home mom and licensed massage therapist, said her family has been hit hard by the economy. This past year money has gotten tighter and tighter, she said. They say the recession is over but I am just not seeing it. Both Smith and her husband, a cobbler, have skills they offer in lieu of cash. Smiths vacuum broke last week and she took to Craigslist to offer massage gift certificates in exchange for a working bagless of bartering. Instead of paying rent, vacuum.

The construction 100 feet away from his farm on 31st Street is a daily reminder of the money driven world that surrounds his utopian experiment. Its a very fine line that Ive walked and it has been desperate at times, Karlin said. While Karlin explores the possibilities gift economies offer the bills continue to pile up. Karlin is currently in the middle of negotiations to extend his lease. The future of Karlin Farms is not definite. Karlin said he finds inspiration in the promise of long-term goals. I dont have all the answers right now, but I look forward to 10 or 15 years down the road when my hard work pays off and I can truly live off the land, Karlin said.

A good pet helps ease the craziness of life

One thing that used to bother me was when people treated their pets as their children. Dog sweaters, cats with middle names, sleeping with their beta fish and shih tzu strollers. I mean, what was the point? Were they too stiff to make friends with the 25,000 KU students with whom they have so much in common? Or was it that they didnt enjoy their time alone and needed something to fill the void? Before I adopted a rat from a local, friendly, nation-wide chain of pet stores, the attitude My assumption of doting pet owners was one of snotty annoyance. Your dog is your baby? Id think, youre a estly didnt think anything spectacular was going to happen. To my surprise, the tenderness that I felt toward this scratching, sniffing rodent was immediate and overwhelming. The first thing I did was teach him to come to his name as I held a spoonful of peanut butter. Then, I lied on the carpet of my apartment and had the little guy crawl all over me. He clawed his way into my hair and nestled, and I thought, so this is it. This is Animal Parenthood. I realized that I would never have to snuggle alone again. Now, just a few days later, Im so smitten with my new animal that sometimes I wish that I could have gestated and borne him myself. Although breast feeding the little critter might prove to be logistically difficult, I couldnt decline such an experience. More than anything, I understand how other pet owners feel when they put their maltipoo in a feathered headdress or apply fake eyelashes on their hedgehog. To the rest of us, it may seem like these animal owners are crazy, but its really the opposite. They arent crazy because of the animal. The animal keeps them from going crazy.

Meaningful political discourse should begin with civility

I had the opportunity to visit some of my favorite historical sites in Virginia last week, including Mount Vernon, Monticello and George Washingtons birthplace. I learned quite a few history lessons while I was there and even after having visited multiple times, there always seems to be a new bit of information that strikes my interest when learning about the foundation of our country. All that history got me thinking about the state of politics today. Obviously the founding fathers didnt always get along, and a few could be quite nasty to some of the others. There were definitely times when arguments got personal. But in the end, these politicians knew they were working toward a common goal, and a prosperous and proud country founded on liberty for all (well, for some were getting there, though!). With this vision on the horizon, these men often set aside their differences, made difrace, gender, etc. But given the major steps we have made in recent years toward a more equal society, shouldnt the method of our discourse reflect that progress? Instead, those early days of Washington and Adams resemble very little to the way politicians and citizens handle arguments today. Yes, we have many eloquent speakers and intelligent individuals who bring worthwhile commentary to the discussions on various issues, but we are slowly losing our tradition of civil discourse. At the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics, the encouragement of civil discourse is a priority. The institute pushes students and community members to discuss issues respectfully while working through the civil and political process to redirect the course of our nation. This is an important goal at a time when many of us often use personal attacks and verbal assault to express our ideas. I admit Ive made a snarky comment or two about Sarah Palins intelligence, but those kinds of remarks bring nothing to the discussion. Ive seen people say things to each other (incidentally, often under the cover of anonymous comments on the Internet) that almost compete with the rhetoric of Fred Phelps in terms of how hateful and unconstructive they are. There is no place for this kind of argumentation in public discourse. Since our University is the home of the Dole Institute, we should take its emphasis on civil discourse to heart. A reclaiming of civility in politics could begin with our student generation. It all begins with self-awareness and encouraging others, and at its core is empathy.

ficult compromises and worked together for what the nation as a whole believed in. Maybe they didnt always make the right decisions. But based on some of the alternatives, I think our nation turned out to be pretty OK. To me it seems that this putting aside of certain differences (even wealthy land-owning white males have plenty of differences) was one of the major keys to the early successes of the United States. Now, Im sure every political generation can point to instances when this hasnt been the case, this being especially true during times of discrimination and inequality based on

Taylor Hultman relaxed in the back of the Humvee, settled among fellow soldiers, as their fourvehicle convoy returned to base in the Baghdad night. Awaiting them were a warm meal and some much-needed sleep. A flash of light suddenly illuminated the rear view mirrors, shock waves rattled the two-anda-half-ton truck and they grabbed their rifles. An improvised explosive device, killer of many U.S. soldiers in Iraq, had exploded a few yards away. Although shook up literally and figuratively, they were still alive. Six months later, Hultman, now a KU student, steered his 2002 Hundai Sonata west on the Kansas Turnpike, heading for his home in Wichita. As he gazed through the windshield at icy roads and snow-covered ditches, a loud thud jolted and shook the car. He floored the accelerator, swerved across the other lane, and stopped on the shoulder, his knuckles white from squeezing the steering wheel. For one panicked moment, he was back in Iraq, escaping an IED kill zone the way he was trained. He checked each mirror, breathed deeply, and his heart rate calmed. There was no IED. A thick sheet of ice had dislodged from his sunroof and slammed down on the trunk. Hultman, 23, is one of an estimated 300 veterans attending the University of Kansas who brought their combat experiences home with them. Some didnt escape roadside IEDs or sniper bullets and were left with physical disabilities. Others are afflicted with horrifying memories that scar them emotionally and reappear as nightmares, anxiety attacks and flashbacks similar to what Hultman experienced on the Kansas Turnpike. An increasing number of veterans are enrolling in universities around the nation. About 800,000 veterans used GI Bill benefits to attend school in 2010, a 40 percent increase over the previous year,
according to Keith Wilson, director of education services for the Department of Veterans Affairs. Making the transition from soldier to student is a challenging quest to blend back into a society they once knew. Despite the significant number of service-connected disabilities, no veteran fights the same battle. Hultman was lucky to return without significant physical injury, but Staff Sgt. Ethan Harris, 41, underwent spinal surgery and is medically retired from the Army. He deals with anxiety along with several other medical diagnoses as he works on a masters degree from the School of Education. Sgt. Nathan Dehnke, who lost vision in his left eye and suffered nerve damage in his left leg, is also medically retired from the Army and graduated with his masters in political science this past May. The Universitys wounded warriors are here to earn degrees but also to assimilate back into normal lives after the chaos of combat. For every one death on the battlefield, there are seven physically wounded service members, according to a landmark 2008 study by the Research and Development Corporation, an independent nonprofit institution that conducts research and analysis on domestic issues such as health, education and national security. Ethan Harris, retired combat medic and current KU student, suffered neck and spinal injuries resulting from repeated concussive blasts in combat coupled with hours spent carrying heavy equipment. When he returned from Iraq in May 2008, military doctors discovered extensive damage to his spinal column and three months later performed a cervical fusion. Titanium rods now link four vertebrae in the upper region of his spine. Months before surgery, he was diagnosed with multiple service-connected behavioral health disorders as well, including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Dehnkes physical injuries can be traced to a single IED blast that left him blind in his left eye and with nerve damage in his left leg. In addition to physical disabilities, many veterans encounter behavioral health issues resulting from combat experience. Two of the most common are PTSD and depression. Having both conditions is common. These ailments remain hidden from view but their prevalence is astoundingly evident. An estimated 300,000 veterans of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan suffer from PTSD or major depression, according to RANDs study. For years, mental health disorders went largely unrecognized in the military and many veterans faced with such issues remain undiagnosed. As
during an attack on his platoon in Baghdad. Dehnke underwent facial reconstructive surgery yet still has his visionless left eye, though it will likely need to be removed one day. As a graduate student at the University, Dehnkes injuries complicated the dayto-day demands of a college student. Without the depth perception he once had, long reading assignments were more challenging. Both eyes grew tired, even ached, and reading on a computer screen or from digital presentations was straining so he preferred a hard copy of articles and assignments. He still walked to class even though the nerve damage in his left leg was quite painful some days. On a busy sidewalk, he could unintentionally bump someone if they were walking on his blind side. It

awareness continues to increase, publicly and within the military, wounds once considered pseudoillnesses have become widely accepted as legitimate health concerns. Behavioral health is a huge thing now compared to when I first got in, Hultman said. If you said you were depressed, they said drink some water and move on. Now they take it pretty seriously. For those who experienced bodily harm in combat, physical limitations present a daily challenge. Dehnke, 36, has viewed the world through one functional right eye since early June 2007, when exploding shrapnel peppered the left side of his body probably seemed rude, he said, but its a part of the process. He refused to make excuses for himself and insists hes just thankful to have all of his limbs. As long as I have persistence and am willing to work at things a little harder, I can do most everything, he said. I just cant do it quite the same or adapt as quickly. Some wounded veterans face arguably more debilitating, even terrifying head wounds. Dehnke has a mild case of TBI, damage to the brain caused by a sudden trauma, and experiences lapses in memory as a result. Sporadic dreams about combat, but rarely about the actual incident he suffered injuries from, keep

him from sleeping as much as he would like. Harris was diagnosed with PTSD, an anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to a terrifying event or ordeal in which grave physical harm occurred or was threatened, according the National Institute of Mental Health. PTSD occurs in up to 20 percent of veterans who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs National Center for PTSD. Veterans experiencing PTSD commonly feel stressed or frightened even when they are no longer in the high intensity environment of combat. Many experience intense anxiety, flashbacks, fits of anger and nightmares. Not everyone who is involved in trauma develops PTSD. Like depression, it operates according to degrees and the severity is unique to each person, said John Wade, licensed counseling psychologist at Counseling and Psychological Services on campus. Onset of stress-induced behavioral health issues such as PTSD typically occurs months after re-entering a peacetime setting. Wade said the effects can feel uncontrollable and perplexing. Army Staff Sgt. Zedrick Glisper, combat medic and warrior in transition at Fort Rileys Warrior Transition Battalion, is a 10-year soldier dealing with PTSD under the care of Army health professionals. He planned on serving 20 years before PTSD set in four to five months into recovery from Hepatitis C and changed his mind. Now, hes focused on getting well and getting out of the military. The hardest thing was the nightmares. I didnt think I was the kind of person to have that type of stuff affect me, Glisper said. The anger, the bitterness of being a totally different person half the time from what I normally would be, trying to adjust and still not being able to would be the hardest part. Knowing what you were before and how you are now is totally different and youre wondering how you got to that stage. Experiencing those intrusive symptoms in a col-
lege setting can be difficult. On a campus filled with more than 30,000 students, Harris tendency to seek isolation a common symptom of PTSD is challenged every day. It manifests in irrational decision-making and impulsive acts. In class he prefers to sit in a seat where he can observe every one and everything in the room and develop a sense of security through a consistent routine. On days that seat is taken, his reaction is extreme. Anger and disbelief fester and usually hell walk back out the door, he said. He knows his behavior might appear inappropriate, but for him it feels acceptable. I cant help that behavior, Harris said. Theres a hyper vigilance needing to know everything in the environment thats going on. All of that is a disruption of that personal space that is highly valuable to someone who tends to isolate themselves. The need to observe and feel in control can be challenging in a classroom full of, for the most part, socially active students. For students with PTSD, hyperarousal symptoms such as being easily startled can surface. For Hultman, set to begin his second semester this fall, adjusting to life on campus provides similar challenges. Hes never been officially diagnosed with PTSD, but has experienced anxiety attacks in situations that feel threatening, unfamiliar or out of his control. When he gets to class he notes the exit routes and mentally lays plans in the event of a dangerous situation. You become super, crazy aware, Hultman said. You try to tell yourself: relax, relax, youre OK, but I know instantly when I walk through that door Im going to figure out the best place to sit. I dont care if I can see the board. When someone walks directly behind him on campus, a vulnerable feeling creeps in his stomach. He crosses the street to assess and avoid any potential threat, assuring himself hes safe before lowering
his guard. Chances are the 6-foot, 220-pound man with a background in jiu jitsu could defend himself, but for years in Baghdad he was a target every second of every day. Modifying that mindset is a gradual process. One afternoon, during mid-tour leave, Hultman was napping on the couch in his parents home and had a nightmare in which he was back on patrol. He leapt to his feet and ran up and down the hallway, still in a sleep state, yelling at the top of lungs: turn the lights off! why are the lights on? He explained that on night patrol in Iraq, having lights on in the truck was a death wish, giving away position and endangering their lives. Hultmans mother, Karen, was terrified and later told Hultman what had happened. Even after more than a year since combat, where the enemy want you dead and you want the enemy dead, its contrary to ones nature to feel safe even when your life is no longer at risk. Wade said of their situation: Its making the transition from living in this heightened state of arousal, from needing to be hyperly aware of the environment, to being in a situation where its really not adaptive to that. After years of training, months spent traveling half way around the world and a lifetime of memories from the trails of war, the comparatively slow and predictable life of a civilian can present a troubling disconnect. A 10-month deployment can feel like a 10-year maturation. While the lives of friends and family moved forward, veterans return feeling out of tune with the world they left. Hultman, now set to begin his second semester, struggled to accept that while his life as a civilian was more or less on hold, peers went about their lives. Most friends his age graduated. Life was going on without me. It felt like I had to find new friends, which sucks, he said. They dont
BriDging the gAp
understand you, youre disconnected. Its not that I dont want to find new friends but its hard. He said calling old friends felt intrusive. Crowded bars and public places were overstimulating and produced anxiety. While he had stories about time in the Army, his friends shared stories of weekend benders and classroom mishaps. The experience of service is impossible to empathize with, he said. The age difference might be small, but the maturity level feels immense. The life experiences of veterans, especially those with service-connected disabilities, are not compatible with students a few years removed from high school. For Harris, 41, making friends is not as much of a concern; he has a wife, five daughters and a 3-month-old son. As an older student, his perspective comes from a different standpoint. I think an experience like going to Iraq, whether youre a paper pusher way way back or a trigger puller way way up front, you come back and youve been shaped by those experiences, Harris said. Its not necessarily war, its just that youve had a different experiential path than someone else. Its hard to relate to those things unless the other person was there. Wade said perceptions are changed during such a unique and meaningful experience and that swapping roles from being charged with the task of bombing a village to living among young people on campus can be a hard adjustment. Dehnke is also an older veteran but hasnt married or had children. He didnt know if he would ever be able to relate to people socially the same way. While no one wants to be coddled, especially the disabled, conveying that message is trying. Yes, youre changed forever, but youre still a person, youre still a human however you want to put it, Dehnke said. If you can step back and realize not everyones had the same life experiences you had, I think youll be able to relate to them better.

trouble sleeping? youre not alone.

by brittany nelson bnelson@kansan.com
Its 2 a.m. on a Tuesday night, and Katie Meserko, a senior from Overland Park, is wide awake. She knows she has to teach Math 101 at 8 a.m., but she said she doesnt even try to go to sleep because she knows she wont be able to. When she finally decides to snooze, Meserko said she cannot go to sleep without the TV flickering in the dark room. I will not fall asleep unless Im somewhat focused on something in the background, Meserko said. Otherwise, I constantly think in my head things I have to do or need to do, or get creative ideas. According to the National Commission on Sleep Disorders Research, at least 40 million adults suffer from chronic, long-term sleep problems and 20 to 30 million suffer from occasional sleep problems. So, like many other adults, Meserko needs help getting to sleep. Anne Owen, Lawrence psychologist, said that people need some kind of bedtime routine to go to sleep. Doing something thats not compelling or interesting can help shift you from thinking about your problems or worries of the day, and you will be more likely to fall asleep, Owen said. Most people find that playing video games or surfing the web are activating, so reading quietly might be a better choice. If every time you go to bed and feel anxious, even if you are tired, you will not fall asleep, she said. Joe Sayegh, a graduate from Stillwell, said he has to have some sort of distraction to fall asleep, such as having the TV on or playing a game on his cell phone. Usually, Im not tired enough to fall asleep by the time I want to, Sayegh said. Im too bored to sit there and I usually think about my busy day or random things. Watching TV gets my mind off things. But Sayegh said if his girlfriend is with him, he doesnt need something else to distract him. If someone is there, I usually fall asleep fine, Sayegh said. Owen said that if people dont have a serious sleep problem and falling asleep to a TV works for them, she sees nothing wrong with it. However, she said there are better ways to prepare yourself for sleep. Mindfulness meditation is a good technique to help ease your mind for better sleeping, Owen said. According to the medical dictionary, mindfulness meditation is defined as, a technique of meditation in which distracting thoughts and feelings are not ignored but are rather acknowledged and observed nonjudgmentally as they arise to create a detachment from the and gain insight and awareness. Keith Floyd, a psychologist at Counseling and Psychological Services, said that the more people get frustrated that they are not asleep, the more their insomnia will worsen. Instead of getting angry that youre awake at 3 a.m. and have to get up in two hours, mindfulness meditation makes you think in a different way to where you accept your current situation, Floyd said. Therefore you will not have anxiety, which leads to falling asleep faster. There are also many things people should avoid before hitting the sheets. Owen said that our body temperature decreases throughout the night, and this drop in temperature supports the bodys sleep system. Its bad to exercise late at night because it raises your core body temperature, Owen said. If you are hot inside or outside of your body, you will not fall asleep.

Man steals ambulance during house fire

(Phoenix, Arizona) Phoenix police say a man tried to steal an ambulance left running outside a house fire but he didnt get very far. Police spokesman Sgt. Tommy Thompson says 28-year-old Travis Ward took the vehicle, which was unlocked and had its keys in the ignition. It had been left running early Sunday to keep cool for anyone seeking medical care. Thompson says Ward drove the ambulance for a few blocks, striking a post, a fence and parked cars. He says the man told police he had used marijuana before the incident. Thompson says no injuries were reported and he wasnt aware that anyone at the west Phoenix fire needed medical care. Ward was booked on suspicion of theft and criminal damage. It was not immediately known whether he has a lawyer.

Police looking for young coyote stuck in jar

(Seattle, Washington) A young coyote is eluding animal-control officers in Seattle, even though its head is stuck in a jar. The Seattle Times reports that animal shelter officers tried to track down the 3to 4-month-old pup Friday in the woods of the Rainier Beach neighborhood. But even without eating for a while, the pup had enough spunk to scurry away. Seattle Animal Shelter supervisor Ann Graves says officers are concerned for the pup because its head has been stuck in the jar for about a week now. Graves says shooting the coyote with a tranquilizer remains an option, but its dangerous if the animal has not had any food. She says the dose could be too much for a weakened animal.

Faculty can be buried at historic cemetery

BY MONISHA BRUNER mbruner@kansan.com
Professor Thomas Mulinazzi has been on campus for more than 32 years. If he has it his way, hell never leave. A brick plaque at the Pioneer Cemetery opening reads, Once transplant always a Jayhawk. Mulinazzi has taken those words to heart. When he dies, he wants to be buried in Pioneer Cemetery, located on West Campus near the Endowment Center. I walked over there and saw some of the people who were buried there and I want to be a part of it, Mulinazzi said. According to Pioneer Cemetery records in the Spencer Research Library, a man named Aaron Perry claimed the present site of Pioneer Cemetery and surrounding lands when Lawrence was founded in 1854. The property was later deeded to C.W. Smith, according to the Complete Tombstone Census of Douglas County. Smith allowed some friends to be buried there and it continued to be a gravesite. In 1854, the burial site was uphill from where the citizens lived, according to Pioneer Cemetery records. Funeral processions traveled two miles from Massachusetts street to the then- isolated Pioneer Cemetery. Brittany Keegan, acting curator for the Watkins Community Museum of History, 1047 Massachusetts St., said that flooding in the city was also a problem, so the location was ideal. The Complete Tombstone Census of Douglas County shows that burials were without any system and many graves were unmarked and unrecorded. Most burials were victims of Quantrills Raid. The victim of a tragic murder, Thomas W. Barber, is buried in the cemetery as well. Barber died Dec. 6, 1855, at the hands of pro-slavery militants from Lecompton. According to Pioneer Cemetery records, Barber was on his way home on a Thursday afternoon on horseback. His brother Robert Barber and his brother-in-law Thomas Pierson were with him. A group of 12 men soon approached them on horseback. Both brothers and Pierson refused orders to surrender and were shot. This was one of the two tragic murders that termed the beginning of the war called Bleeding Kansas. The interesting thing about the cemetery is that it is so tied in with the territorial period and the Bleeding Kansas struggle, especially in Lawrence, Keegan said. Lisa Scheller, senior editor for media relations at KU Endowment, said Pioneer Cemetery has about 300 occupants. Because of limited space, there are restrictions on acceptance into the cemetery. Full-time faculty or those with equivalent appointment with at least 15 years at the University are eligible, as are individuals who have provided distinguished service. Also, a spouse of any of the eligible members is welcome. A plot size for one person at the cemetery is two feet by two feet. Because this space is too small to bury a persons body, one has to be cremated. The families or estates of the deceased will be responsible for all costs. Scheller said that KU Endowment has worked with donors to establish a Pioneer Cemetery fund so alumni and friends can provide support to help maintain the cemetery.

Got loans? Consider moving to rural Kansas

BY MATT GALLOWAY mgalloway@kansan.com
Chicago. New York. Los Angeles. These are the major metropolitan areas many Kansas students eagerly anticipate relocating to after graduation. But moving to rural Greeley County, Kan., population 1,247, may offer a more immediate reward. Greeley County lies on the western Kansas border and is one of 27 counties in the state participating in the Rural Opportunity Zones student loan repayment program. Under the provisions of the program, the county and the state will repay 20 percent of outstanding student loans, up to $3,000 per year, for graduates of any accredited postsecondary university. There is a $15,000 maximum benefit. The program was signed into law by Gov. Sam Brownback on July 1. Online applications became accessible the same day through the Kansas Department of Commerce website. Public information officer Dan Lara said the department has received 24 applications for the student loan portion of the program. Weve been very encouraged by the response that weve received from the program and also the applications that weve gotten in, Lara said. Lara said he expects most of the other 23 counties in the program to join the 27 in offering the student loan repayment by the Dec. 31 dead-

All 50 are now offering an income tax exemption for people who move from out-of-state. The number of KU students who have applied will not be released until transcripts are verified. But of the 24 people who have applied, 21 are native Kansans, Lara said. Students with loan debt can participate in the program regardless of the year they graduated. Jay Kombrink, a senior from Mission Hills, said he has only seen rural Kansas while driving through I-70 to Colorado. He said he would consider applying for the program if a county could show it had potential to grow. If there is a job opportunity somewhere, thats kind of more important than the money, Krombrink said. Community development director Christy Hopkins said Greeley County is not a typical rural community. Were a progressive, forwardlooking county, Hopkins said. Those are the things we really pride ourselves on. We have a unified government, which offers some great advantages as we work on things across the county. Woodson County is the farthest east of any county participating in the repayment program. Its largest city, Yates Center, has a population of 1,417 and is about a 100 mile drive southwest from Lawrence. Katy Ludwig, the economic development representative for Woodson County, promotes the county to potential residents. She said many of the communitys youth do not return after graduation due to a grim job market. I know our one dentist in the county came on a program sort of similar to this one, Ludwig said. He came and started a new business. So hopefully this will attract people who want to come, live in a small town and start their own business. Ludwig said part of the benefit of living in a small community is that everyone looks out for one another. I hope they start a new life here, not just get on their feet and move on, Ludwig said. I want them to stay here.

big hopes for a tough season

by Mike Vernon mvernon@kansan.com
DALLAS Nobody has said the path to redemption for this years Kansas football team will be easy in fact, its set up to be one of the toughest seasons any team will have in college football this year. Based off of last years records, college football analyst Phil Steele has ranked the Jayhawks schedule the third toughest in the nation. At the Big 12 Media Days on Tuesday, this years Kansas team showed it is aware of the tough odds against it, and instead of dwelling on the nail-filled road to come, the Jayhawks are using that tough path as a motivator of sorts, or a reason to work harder than ever before. Everybody in the Big 12 is excellent this year, senior tight end Tim Biere said. Every week is going to be a challenge and we look forward to that challenge. The labor the Jayhawks have put in during the spring and summer workouts is most visible when looking at the new, slim appearance of senior lineman Jeremiah Hatch. Working off over 30 pounds, Hatch believes the lost weight will help his mobility and ability to block down the field. A lot of running, a lot of sweating, and a lot of Stairmaster, Hatch said when asked how he lost the weight. I got with our nutritionist Aaron, and he showed me how to eat the proper way while still maintaining a love for food. It appears that the entire team has joined Hatchs newfound work ethic this offseason. Coach Turner Gill seemed to think that the team as a whole has taken a step in the right direction during college footballs more quiet months, providing potential dividends for the upcoming season. As we went into the winter offseason program and spring football season, I saw a better work ethic, Gill said. When you have a better work ethic, you have a better opportunity to be successful. Senior linebacker Steven Johnson has been working hard as well, leading the defense through their offseason workouts. Johnson be- much speed and so much athletilieved that the hard work of the cism.

Texas network controversial

BY MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com
DALLAS No coach could escape the question. The story that spanned across headlines throughout the conference coming into the Big 12 media days has some coaches upset, some neutral and some supportive: is it acceptable for the Longhorn Network to air high school football games? The freshly-inked deal out of Austin with ESPN pays Texas $300 million for the rights to have an all-Texas network. The Longhorns, in hopes to fill time slots and gain viewers, were planning on putting high school football games in the state of Texas on live television. The problem? Allowing a university-branded network to have that unique access to young players, along with having its name all over a high school football game, could give the University of Texas an unfair advantage in recruiting. Missouri coach Gary Pinkel was the most vocal of all of the coaches and players on Monday about his issues with the controversial network. Its a lack of common sense there to think that the network, the university network can coach or have high school games on their network, Pinkel said. Even though Pinkel spoke the loudest on the controversial topic, he has not been the leader in rebellion on the issue at hand. Texas A&M called a board of regents meeting this past week to discuss the Big 12 conference. As an in-state rival and main recruiting competitor to the Longhorns, the Aggies are heavily rumored to have cried foul on the Longhorn Network. As rumor has it, Texas A&M even threatened the livelihood of the conference by apparently threatening to move to the Southeastern Conference. Coach Mike Sherman didnt comment on the network itself, saying he has enough to worry about as it is. On the other side of the issue, smooth-talking Texas coach Mack Brown turned the issue around, making it seem like Texas would be helping the rest of the conference by airing the games -- giving exposure to players other schools may have never seen. I think the part that will affect recruiting is youve got a lot more opportunities for young people to be seen, Brown said. So theres no question that the opportunity to show who you are on national TV at every practice, at every ballgame, on a network, is I mean, its a positive. Brown even went as far as to say that the only people actually being hurt by the network were the high school players and coaches themselves, for they would not have the opportunity to showcase their programs on national television if it werent for the network. The only coach to side with Brown and the Longhorns was Baylor head coach Art Briles, who turned heads in the room by saying that if the Longhorns can get a network of their own, they deserve it. Do I worry about it, not a bit. I mean, theyre pretty hard to recruit against anyway, Briles said. If people are going to pay for it, more power to them. Let them have it. If it helps the Big 12 if we have to recruit harder against Texas, well do a better job, work harder and see if we can get a little better. The question that no coach could hide from didnt get too many answers Monday. Even though its shaken the fragile Big 12 grounds, it proved to be a bit premature for the coaches to come out with final judgments on such a hot, ongoing topic. One thing is for sure the Longhorns will receive their money from the network, providing a bigger budget for recruiting dividends regardless of whether the Longhorn Network will show 100 hours of high football or zero.

berglund enters plea in pretrial hearing, expected to arrive in Lawrence Aug. 3

Freshman quarterback Brock Berglund will report to the Jayhawks training camp next week, after entering a not guilty plea to a misdemeanor assault charge in Colorado. Berglund entered the plea Monday in Douglas County, Colo. He is charged after third-degree assault after allegedly punching a man April 9 during a party in Sedalia, Colo. His attorney issued a statement Monday saying Berglund, who had enrolled at KU early but left the campus in the spring, will report to training camp Aug. 3. His trial is not scheduled until Dec. 13, after the college regular season ends.

Sooners favored to win championship

ASSOCIATED PRESS
DALLAS Before Oklahoma won its first Big 12 title in 2000, and went on to the win the national championship that season, coach Bob Stoops had no idea how good his second year there would be. That was the first of seven conference titles over the last 11 seasons when there were still 12 teams in the league. Now in the new-look Big 12, with 10 teams playing a round-robin schedule instead of in divisions, there would be little surprise if the Sooners quickly add another trophy. The defending champions are overwhelming favorite to win the league again and maybe more. Our offense is high powered, our defense brings a lot of playmakers back. Its a good combination, linebacker Travis Lewis said Tuesday as Big 12 media days wrapped up. But right now all we are is potential. Weve got to go out there and play. The Sooners, who closed last season with a five-game winning streak that included wins over now-departed Nebraska in the Big 12 championship game and a 48-20 victory over Connecticut in the Fiesta Bowl, got 41 of 43 first-place votes in a preseason poll from media members who cover the league. This team has had a good attitude and a good chemistry, Stoops said. They did a year ago, they carried it through the winter and the spring. Well see where it goes with us. Those feelings, bolstered by Lewis sentiment, are good for a coach who in some seasons sensed that his teams felt entitled because of the long-term success at Oklahoma. Stoops went from trying to convince his team that it was good enough to win in 2000, after the Sooners had some down seasons before he arrived, to a few years later reminding certain groups they hadnt done anything to feel that way. Now going into this season, though, after so many years and with the number of guys back, we expect it, Stoops said. Its really convincing them expect to work first. ... And you have to have that attitude of something to prove to get it done, to finish it off. Landry Jones, the starting quarterback who followed Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford at Oklahoma, trumped his impressive freshman season by throwing for a Big 12-high 4,718 yards and 38 touchdowns while setting school records with 405 completions and 617 attempts last year. He got a couple of years under his belt and I think this is finally his time, Lewis said. I definitely think hes a national championship caliberwinning quarterback and this whole team has faith in him. When Jones was asked about the perception by many that he took significant steps in his leadership of the team during the closing stretch last season, the quarterback certainly didnt disagree. Definitely in that Oklahoma State game, the Big 12 championship game and then the Fiesta Bowl, I was able to take some big strides for me as a player, he said. Ive kind of learned from Sam, kind of learned from people before me, talking to coach Heupel, him dealing with those expectations what it takes to lead a team through that. Josh Heupel, the Sooners quarterbacks coach and co-offensive coordinator, was the quarterback for Stoops 2000 national championship team. Jones threw for 468 yards and four touchdowns in the regular season finale against Oklahoma State. Then Oklahoma rallied from a 17-point deficit in the Big 12 title game, when he threw for 342 yards and a touchdown and ran for another score while Lewis had an interception in the end zone and recovered two fumbles. Jones also set Oklahoma bowl records with 429 yards and three touchdowns in the Fiesta Bowl. While Stoops team is favored to win the conference and possibly contend for a national championship, Texas Techs Tommy Tuberville and Kansas Turner Gill both are trying to establish their teams as Big 12 contenders. The Red Raiders were picked seventh and Kansas was at the bottom of the preseason media poll. Kansas State and Iowa State, the other teams at Tuesdays sessions, are also picked in the bottom half of the league. Texas Tech won eight games last season, including a bowl over Northwestern, but Tuberville has a new defensive coordinator after the Red Raiders gave up 456 yards and 31 points a game last season. It wasnt a great year, but it was a year that I think we can look back on and say that was the start of something good, Tuberville said. Did make one change in our defense this past year, after going through a year and watching what we have to play against, the type of players, the type of coaches. New defensive coordinator Chad Glasgow spent the past 10 seasons as an assistant at TCU, where the Horned Frogs use a 4-2-5 defense that will now be Techs base defense. Gill lost his Big 12 debut last season to FCS team North Dakota State, and the Jayhawks finished the year losing seven of its last eight games. Last year at this time, I didnt really quite understand all the deep details about where we were at and what we need to do as far as a team, said Gill, who got to Kansas after taking Buffalo to a bowl game. I had just an open mind and an open hear about what to expect in my first year, particularly. ... Im excited about where we are today.
