kmaude@kansan.com As summer winds down, students aren't ready to jump into a full week of classes and studying just yet. Thanks to Hawk Week, students can spend their first week at the University having fun all across campus while getting to know fellow students. Hawk Week is the official welcome to the University according to Christina Kerns, coordinator for the Hawk Week program. It is designed to present new students with everything that the University has to offer, and help them build valuable connections to fellow students, faculty, staff, as well as the opportunities they will have as students, Kerns said.

At 7 p.m., Convocation is held at the Lied Center. Sondag referred to it as the official kick-off to the academic year. "The chancellor speaks as well as representatives from every school about what the academic goals are for the year, Sondag said. There is a great aura surrounding the event and it gets everyone excited about
their studies." Activities continue throughout the week to inform students about all the University has to offer. One new activity this year is a ball pit that will sit outside of the Kansas Union hosted by the Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access. Sondag advises incoming freshmen to attend Hawk Week activities that he and his colleagues have worked hard to set in motion. "Members of this community have built this week specifically to make you feel like this is home and that you've been here for years, Sondag said. Go to the events and give us the opportunity to welcome you to our community." Edited by Elise Reuter

As the closing song ends, the flock of potential new members take out PHA notepads and ballpoint pens to jot down notes and reminders, trying to keep all 13 sororities straight. Their schedules are cramped. The existing sorority members dont have it any easier, but their long days and enthusiasm are well-practiced. When you reflect on it weeks later, its such a good time to get close to women in your chapter spending time together, working so close together but the tradition makes it more meaningful, Neenan said. Sorority formal recruitment concludes with Bid Day on Friday as potential new members are accepted into sororities based on a mutual selection.

He said any additional charges against Bourne would up to the county prosecutor. Earlier Wednesday, relatives had expressed optimism that Adriaunna would be found safe. Her grandfather, also named James Horton, described the girl who disappeared following the first day of school as a lively, active child. "She can run like a rabbit, and she's double-jointed, and she's smart, knows how to use a phone, and if she gets a chance, she's gone," the grandfather said. The Barton County Clerk's office said Wednesday a judge has ordered all documents in the case sealed, and it's unclear if Bourne has a lawyer. Adriaunna's mother, Wendi Jackson of Overland Park, Kan., was in Golden City to be with relatives during the search. Golden City is a town of about 760 residents northwest of Springfield.

August 21, 1863 is a date that resonates with many Lawrence natives. While the Civil War raged across the nation, citizens of Lawrence endured one of its most heartbreaking legacies: Quantrills raid. The raid left 185 men and boys dead, and forever changed the city. For this years 150th anniversary of the raid, the city of Lawrence and historical organizations like the Watkins Museum of History look back at the stories that shaped Lawrence. 1863 Commemorate Lawrence is a website set up by the city that aggregates all the events happening around town to memorialize Quantrills Raid.

Investigators say DiMaggio escaped with Hannah and killed 44-year-old Christina Anderson and her son, whose bodies were discovered after DiMaggio set fire to his home Aug. 4 in Boulevard, a tiny town 65 miles east of San Diego. DiMaggio named Hannah's grandmother, Bernice Anderson, as the sole beneficiary of his employer-issued life insurance policy, making her eligible to receive $112,000, according to Spanswick, who believes the money was intended for Hannah. Hannah Anderson gave her first news interview since her rescue to the NBC "Today" show. It was scheduled to air Thursday. "In the beginning I was a victim, but now knowing everyone out there is helping me I consider myself a survivor instead," she said.

Army Pfc. Bradley Manning is escorted into a courthouse in Fort Meade, Md., Aug. 21, before a sentencing hearing in his court martial. The military judge overseeing Mannings trial sentenced Bradley Manning to 35 years in prison for giving US secrets to WikiLeaks. working in 2010 in Iraq. He also leaked video of a 2007 Apache helicopter attack in Baghdad that mistakenly killed at least nine people, including a Reuters photographer. Manning said he did it to expose the U.S. military's "bloodlust" and generate debate over the wars and U.S. policy. He was found guilty by the judge last month of 20 crimes, including six violations of the Espionage Act, but was acquitted of the most serious charge, aiding the enemy, which carried a potential life in prison without parole. Whistleblower advocates said the punishment was unprecedented in its severity. Steven Aftergood of the Federation of American Scientists said "no other leak case comes close." The American Civil Liberties Union and Amnesty International and condemned the sentence. "When a soldier who shared information with the press and public is punished far more harshly than others who tortured prisoners and killed civilians, something is seriously wrong with our justice system," said Ben Wizner, head of the ACLU's speech and technology project. Gabriel Schoenfeld, a senior fellow at the conservative Hudson

Institute think tank and author of the book "Necessary Secrets," welcomed Manning's punishment. "The sentence is a tragedy for Bradley Manning, but it is one he brought upon himself," he said.

nearly the size of Connecticut. Meanwhile, the Obama administration has been steadily cutting spending on thinning federal forests to reduce fire danger, and has proposed to cut even further. The acreage treated would drop from 1.8 million acres thinned in 2012, to 685,000 acres next year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture budget. The Hazardous Fuels Reduction Program was $500 million last year, went down to $419 million this year under the automatic budget cuts, and has been proposed to go to $292 million next year. "The fires that are ripping through Oregon and Idaho and California and the West are just proof that the fire prevention policy is broke," Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., chairman of the Senate Natural Resources Committee, said from Lincoln City.
"There are years of neglect. The fuel load builds up and it gets hotter and hotter on the forest floor. Then you get something like a lightning strike and a big inferno. Then the bureaucracy takes money from the prevention fund to put the fires out and the problem gets worse. The cycle just repeats itself again and again." Wyden said he and other senators would be working hard this fall to overcome pressures to cut spending in order to restore funding for wildfire prevention. Christopher Topik, a director of Restoring America's Forests for The Nature Conservancy, said he could not fault Tidwell for diverting money to wildfires. "We can't allow our towns and forests to all burn down," he said. "It's also irresponsible not to fund (prevention efforts) because it is an expected disaster."

Cizek hopes to return to her home at the University as soon as she can. However, the journey of recovering from a TBI is strenuous and grueling, and while she has taken strides, it has taken a toll on Cizek. For me, its taken too long, Cizek said. There are big changes that I want to make, but its happening in small pieces. I want to be myself. I want to go back to how I was and go back to how I am, but I cant because of the injury. I cant be myself quite yet until Ive recovered fully. While the process has brought her family closer together, theyre sympathetic to her frustration. Although its unclear at this point whether Cizek will completely regain her cognitive skills, they hope she will progress at QLI and make the most of her recovery during this critical two-year period. The one constant that Cizek and her support system have is their positive attitudes, especially Cizeks. Ive never seen anything like it, Pfaff said.

National Archives releases final 340-hour installment of recordings of Nixons private phone calls and meetings
ASSOCIATED PRESS
YORBA LINDA, Calif. President Richard Nixon had just delivered his first major national address on the Watergate scandal that would ultimately cost him the White House when the calls of support began pouring in. Audio tapes released Wednesday show that within hours of the speech on April 30, 1973, the beleaguered 37th president heard from Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and evangelist Billy Graham. The calls were captured on a secret recording system that Nixon used to tape 3,700 hours of phone calls and private meetings in his executive offices between February 1971 and July 1973. The final chronological installment of those tapes 340 hours were posted online by the National Archives and Records Administration as part of a release that also includes more than 140,000 pages of text documents. Another 700 hours of tapes remain sealed for national security and privacy reasons. Since 2007, the National Archives has released hundreds of hours of the tapes, offering the public an unvarnished and sometimes shocking view of the inner workings of Nixon's administration and insight into the president's private musings on everything from Watergate to Vietnam. Wednesday's release did not include significant new material on Watergate, but did show the incredible strain on Nixon in the summer of 1973 with the growing scandal stemming from the 1972 breakin at Democratic headquarters by burglars tied to the president's reelection committee. The day Nixon gave his speech, two top White House staffers, H.R. Haldeman and John Ehrlichman, had resigned, as well as Attorney General Richard Kleindienst. In the speech, Nixon said he was not aware of or connected to the Watergate break-in. He said he supported punishment for those involved in possible criminal actions and accepted responsibility for ceding the authority of his campaign to others whose "zeal exceeded their judgment and who may have done wrong in a cause they deeply believed to be right." White House counsel John W. Dean III was also fired that day, a special Senate committee to probe Watergate was being formed and a special Watergate prosecutor would be assigned within weeks. Reagan, who called late that night, reassured a needy Nixon that the speech was the right one to make during such a crisis. "I just want you to know, we watched and my heart was with you. I know what this must have been and what this must have been in all these days and what you've been through," Reagan said. "You can count on us, we're still behind you out here and I wanted you to know that you're in our prayers." At the end of the call, Reagan

told Nixon: "This too shall pass." That evening, Bush, who had recently been appointed chairman of the Republican National Committee, called to say he had watched the speech with "great pride." This time, however, an angry and exhausted-sounding Nixon complained to Bush about the reaction from TV commentators. "The folks may understand," Nixon said, before adding later: "To hell with the commentators." The following year, Bush would privately write Nixon a letter urging him to resign, which he did on Aug. 9, 1974.

Finding the perfect roommate can be difficult, especially as the start of a new semester approaches. For some students, turning to the Internet is the best way to find a roommate or sublease last minute. The Housing Hawk, a locally owned, Craigslist-type website, seemed to be the best strategy for approximately 17,000 student renters this year. The Housing Hawk allows students to post free ads on the website or its Face-
book page. Landlords and management companies in Lawrence also advertise their properties with the Housing Hawk to increase options for students. Sally Burns founded the website in 2011. Between March and August of this year, the site had about 10,000 students and advertisers use the service. I started the Housing Hawk three years ago because I wanted students to have a resource to easily find accurate information about all of their off-campus housing options, Burns said. Besides providing a student-

I've also posted an advertisement on Craigslist for looking for a subleaser, but one of the people who have contacted me ended up being a fraud. I don't trust Craigslist as much as I do with the Housing Hawk. Burnss focus is giving students a personal experience by listening to their situations and needs. She said she tries to find the best choice for each student. What differentiates it is that students or renters call me and

on the NSAs surveillance came less than two weeks after a federal judge in Washington gave government lawyers a time extension in order to decide which materials to declassify. The EFF had been pressing for a summary judgment that would have compelled the government to release the secret FISA rulings, and the governments most recent extension expired Wednesday, the day it released the once-secret FISA court rulings. While the NSA is allowed to keep the metadata the address or phone number and the duration, but not the content, of the communication of Americans for up to five years, the court ruled that when it gathered up such large packets of information, they included emails between American citizens, in violation of the Fourth Amendment. The NSA disclosed that it gathers some 250 million internet communications each year, with some 9 percent from these upstream
channels, amounting to between 20 million to 25 million emails a year. The agency used statistical analysis to estimate that of those, possibly as many as 56,000 Internet communications collected were sent by Americans or persons in the U.S. with no connection to terrorism. The disclosures were greeted with cautious optimism by Democratic Sen. Mark Udall of Colorado, who has sponsored legislation to curb some of the NSAs surveillance and serves on the Senate Intelligence Committee. I am glad the NSA is taking this step at owning its mistakes, but it is also a sign that we can and must do more to protect innocent Americans with no connection to terrorism from being monitored by our government whether intentionally or not, Udall said Wednesday. I will keep fighting to ensure that the NSA is not violating Americans privacy rights.

If Batman was in a frat Superman was in a Sorority. I just saw a little old lady with a cane walking up 14th. If she can do it, I think we can all suck it up, we are obviously a lot more able bodied. Picked up a penny for good luck and my Jewish boyfriend stole it out of my hand... Oh stereotypes. Being an engineer major is like being a vegetarian, you can choose to do it, but you dont need to let the whole world know you do. White girls wish they were my shade of natural tan. Dude...I think my butt just beat boxed because it wasnt a fart. My KU campus calves are the reason I cant fit in my skinny jeans. Someone told me today that the Germans are leading philosophers. Isnt everyone a pretty good philosopher after a few beers? Im a ginger and I went outside without sunscreen. I should not have done that. I SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE THAT! Theres no ladylike way to spit out a bug that flies in your mouth I always thought the statue in front of the religion building was a praying Dumbledore. Was that just me? Just walked in on a girl eating frosting while pooping. Im so relieved to know that Im not the only one who does that. I can always tell when somebody is from Kansas because the clothes they wear to church are clothes I would wear out. I wonder how many vulgar submissions the FFA editor gets every day I want to use the Chancellors restroom before I graduate. Just to see how the other half lives. That awkward moment when you think youre alone in the bathroom and then you hear someones phone go off... You know you live in a scholarship hall when you find yourself yelling about Game of Thrones and feminism over lunch. Just once, I would love to see a video of me over the weekend where I sound like I can sing decently. Say hello to a bus driver today! If I had a long beard, I would braid and bead it like Jack Sparrow. Or maybe tie it like Dumbledore. Or throw it over my shoulder like a continental soldier. Im wearing only one headphone pod, not for the chance to look hip and trendy, but because we cant have nice things, and because my cat is a monster. Shout-out to all the maintenance workers here at KU! You all are so good at your jobs and are always so friendly to us. Thanks for being great! How many days of school left?
pposites attract. Weve all heard it before. We often use the phrase to justify and cope with the annoying antics of our counterparts, whether they are our best friends, boyfriends/girlfriends, or in this case, our roommates. When it comes to sharing a space with someone, being complete opposites may be problematic messy vs. organized, morning vs. night person, studious vs. slacker however, when it comes to music, having different taste than your roommate can actually be a good thing. Listening to different music than your roommate can introduce you to new artists and bands that you may have never heard or considered before but thats obvious. Although broadening your musical knowledge is a good thing, a secondary benefit to having opposing tastes is that being

have a preference. My roommate has a preference too, though hers happens to be country and pop music - two genres that share the trait of being (for the most part) cheerful and optimistic. Perhaps I find country songs hard to relate to considering I grew up in the northern suburbs of Chicago, or perhaps I simply never got over the fact that I was thrown off a horse at age 7. Either way, Im not a fan. My dislike for country music aside, the songs generally have decent lyrics with a catchy guitar twang in the background. Pop music is much the same, with somewhat less decent lyrics, but boasts a strong backbeat, usually incorporating an electronic bass that makes me feel like Im stuck inside of a pinball machine.
While I wouldnt be likely to choose a country or pop song on my own, I will say that I have never complained when my roommate puts one on. Rather than inducing my (occasional) mopey mood with music that drones on, the change of pace is often appreciated. Going from The National to Icona Pop is surely a 180, but it serves as a nice reminder that I am in fact a 90s chick and have not yet retired to a rocking chair. At times its okay to simply say, I dont care, I love it. Recently while in the car with a friend, I realized that he too had encountered this music mayhem. I noticed that we were listening to the crooning voices of artists like Dave Matthews and Matt Nathanson for a while and so I asked what had caused him to replace his hip-hop and rap. He simply replied, Blame my room-
mate. He told me how after living with someone who only played the type of music that Starbucks sells at the registers as if people flock to Starbucks for their CD selection it started to grow on him. He admitted that while he still loves the type of music that The Cave plays on a loop, listening to more mellow music has helped him to feel just that, more mellow. He proved my theory to be true. Some roommates share clothes, some share food, so why not share music? Even if your roommates taste in music whatever it may be falls on the other end of the spectrum from your own, dont dismiss it just yet. Music, like most things, should be consumed with an open mind or in this case, an open ear.

Hardships of parenthood revealed Unpaid internships not to students who nanny in summer always worth sacrifice
ts not a pill, meticulously-devised calendar manipulation or semimedieval-probably-illegal-in-a lot-of-countries device. Its all-natural, gluten-free, and FDA-approvednot to mention completely free of charge and capable of warding off unwanted pregnancy for nearly decades. It sounds too good to be true because, like your mama warned you, it is. This mystery drug is modernly referred to as nannying, a birth-control practice that makes even the most potent pharmaceutical concoctions look like sugar pills. Like many a college student returning home from my first year away at school, I sought a job that would provide me with, to put it delicately, the biggest wad of cash. I attacked the premise of full-time nannying with common beginner phrases such as, How hard could this possibly be?; Hey, this sure beats working at the mall!; and the timehonored classic: Im good with kids! I was delusional, high off of viral Internet videos of impossibly adorable toddlers playing ukuleles and earnestly mispronouncing the word truck as their parents chortled off camera. Nights of popping a bag of popcorn, flipping to Cars 2, and reading a few bedtime stories before returning to open dominion over the fridge and remote (see babysitting) conned me.

who (to my complete bewilderment) dont enjoy sleeping, eating, relaxing or minding their own business for a span greater than 45 seconds. Before I knew it I was a machine that rolled out of bed at 7 am, black sludge (see coffee) in one hand, the wheel of a 2005 Honda Odyssey in the other, drag-racing through 25 mile-an-hour suburban culde-sacs to make it to whichever country club was hosting the days tennis or ballet lessons. Makeup was a thing of the past, and clothes I preferred to not be tie-dyed by spilled Kool-Aid and chicken nugget grease hung in my closet untouched. Disney Channel theme songs haunted my dreams, and I became a stone-cold sibling fight referee (forearm claw mark scars as an added bonus). So when was it exactly that nannying convinced me that a near future of parenthood surpassed Stephen King on the scale of terror? Was it while attempting to use logic with a four year old who NEEDED a piggy-back ride and NEEDED it now as I was elbow deep in the vomit of an overweight yellow lab who had consumed an entire gallon of Flavor Blasted Goldfish and three sleeves of double-stuffed Oreos? Or was it somewhere between being drenched in radioactive, orange 7-11 Slurpee and chasing a pair of dagger-taloned black cats
through an understaffed PetCo to the soundtrack of a wailing pre-teen who had been scratched by the runaway felines she had just mauled (imagine that)? The precise moment is of little importance. What matters is that despite my complaining, my summer job provided me with exactly what a summer job should: a humbling and appropriately degrading perspective of the real world. It withdrew me from the wonderful land of academia, dining halls, and themed parties and shoved me into reality: a place where children constantly need freeze pops and where two loving parents work hard all day to provide them with a freezer full of them and a nanny to reluctantly dole them out. Whether your summer job consisted of wearing a suit and memorizing your bosss complicated Starbucks order, re-folding the denim wall four times in an hour, or scooping ice cream until your right arm grew to twice the size of your left, I hope that like me, you received an earnest glimpse into the everyday. I hope that you attack this school year with not only a refreshed cash flow, but a refreshed outlook on how far youve come, how far you still want to go and how lucky you are to have the opportunity to make it there. With that, I dust off my non-elastic shorts, begin my Disney-detox and bid you a happy first semesterand may your summer job exist as but a stepping-stone.
ike many students, I spent my summer as an unpaid intern earning college credit. I am grateful for the opportunity and experience I gained. However, I am not an advocate of unpaid internships. Interning at my local newspaper was convenient. My parents home was a five-minute drive from the office. I kept my part time job that Ive had since high school. I didnt pay rent. There were no extra travel costs. Working for free didnt cost me anything but my time, and the gains were much greater. For many others that is not the case. One fellow student, for example, worked 50 hours a week at an unpaid internship in Washington, D.C. Another student turned down an internship in D.C. because, unlike the former, she didnt know anyone who could give her a free place to stay. Cities like D.C. and Chicago two places I applied are highly competitive and expensive to live in for anyone, let alone a college student who isnt getting paid. According to Department of Labor guidelines, unpaid internships must be for the benefit of the intern exclusively, which means if companies strictly followed these guidelines most should provide at least minimum wage to interns. Its unreasonable to say that employers should receive no benefits from interns because the interns should be receiving experience beyond what they would find in the classroom. Most of the time that means producing a product that benefits the employer always true with journalism, where the largest benefit to students is published work for their portfolios. Every day I benefited my employer by producing content that was published in one of four publications. I learned far more from the experience than I would have just shadowing other journalists and fetching their coffees. I was immediately given story assignments and asked to work independently. I was overwhelmed at first, but I know now that I learned much more than I would have had I been made to sit beside another reporter and take notes on their work. I made mistakes that were published and affected other people,

and then I learned from them. My byline was accompanied by staff writer, not intern. I worked like any other reporter in the newsroom and thats a good thing. Unfortunately, especially in the case of print journalism, companies cannot afford to take on paid interns. The catch-22, at least for journalism students, is that internships are vital to securing full time jobs in the future. Some internships even require previous internship experience in order to apply (What then makes it an internship I ask?). Frankly, I desperately wanted to work for any organization that would help me get published and build my portfolio. I hope that this unpaid internship will be my launching pad for a paid internship in a bigger city, something I could never get if I spent my summer reporting independently on my website that only my family and friends read. In this economy its difficult to demand that unpaid internships be abolished, but I imagine that there are many students disadvantagedor even taken advantage ofby the current situation. Clearer laws should be set on unpaid internships. Internships that help students receive career experience and opportunities should be welcomed, but students who relocate for an internship should earn a stipend so that they are not paying to work. Companies shouldnt be forced to ask interns receive college credit for their work because that costs the students and puts a barrier up for students who pay their own way through college and cant afford to spend money on credit hours while working for free. Grants should be established for companies who cant afford to pay interns, but would like to help students learn more about their desired career field. Something should be done that can benefit both parties without burdening students for their willingness to relocate. Companies shouldnt be forced to choose between either paying interns or dismantling their internship program.

analysis of high school English. The power and beauty of his mastery of language and syntax astonished me; more importantly, I discovered the potential of literature to be a place of deep connection between reader and author, new ideas, and human experience. It can be fallout-of-your-chair hilarious, joyful, melancholy, revelatory, or provoke any combination of emotions. I have laughed out loud at Ignatius Reillys antics in A Confederacy of Dunces, felt Kates deep loneliness in Wittgensteins Mistress and
loved Mario Incandenza like a little brother in Infinite Jest. You can guess the rest of the story. Since then Ive read DFWs entire body of published work and branched out to a host of other authors that bring the same level of connectedness. I make it a point to read a little even when classes get stressful and my time feels stretched to the limit. I think that taking this time to allow narrative, characters, and ideas wash over and envelop me has helped me to be more open to others ideas, accepting of their viewpoints, and willing to listen to their stories. Maybe this subjective assessment of my experiences doesnt
fully convince you of the beneficial effects of reading. Im an engineer, too. Let me appeal to your logic and present some numerical data. When I took the ACT in April 2009, my lowest-scoring section was Reading Comprehension. In contrast, my August 2013 GRE scores came up with a verbal score that was higher than my quantitative score (very uncharacteristic of an engineering major). These data suggest that my ability to read and understand complex presentation of ideas improved overthose four years. While simple maturity may have contributed, the time I spent reading was the primary cause of this significant reversal.
In each of my subsequent columns Ill focus on a book that has changed my way of thinking. Ill introduce it to you and explain why I think its worth reading, then discuss something it caused me to think seriously about. The meat of the column will be in this latter section I hope to incite discussion about those everyday challenges that we often overlook. I dont want my columns to sound didactic or offer some saccharine moral; I want to make you think. Maybe youll even want to read a few more books.

studying and eating, my favorite place to visit is Java Break. Its a quaint 24-hour coffee shop located just off Mass St. with the greatest cereal bar known to man. Seriously, if you love cereal as much as I do, you will love selecting three different cereals, toppings and milk to mix together in a Chinese takeout box. And the best part, it doesnt leak! If you want to get involved on campus, I suggest looking at all the organizations on rockchalkcentral. com. Its a new website for finding the perfect club for you. If you
are athletic, try out for one of the many sports clubs on campus. Visit recreation.ku.edu to learn about all the teams, KU Fit classes and intramurals to keep you happy and healthy. If sports are not your thing, try looking into clubs in your major. Engineers Without Borders, KU PRSSA, Student Senate, SUA, and Asian American Student Union, are just to name a few. Get out there and get involved. Now, Im speaking directly to the new students on campus: Parking stinks. Be mindful of the signs when entering a parking lot. If its not past the time limit for that specific permit, you probably will get a ticket. The good thing is
you can pay your tickets online at parking.ku.edu. In addition, learn the bus schedule now and learn to anticipate when a bus will be full. When winter comes, everyone will be using them, and you dont want to be that guy who makes everyone else squeeze to fit you past the yellow line. On the other hand, try skipping the bus from time to time. That way you are sure to miss out on the freshman fifteen. Finally, if you dont have a Twitter account, get one. If you want to know where to go on campus for the free cupcakes, follow @ FreeFoodAtKU. If you want to read all the stalker-ish thoughts of your
secret admirer, follow @KUSecretAdmirer. If you want to learn the know-how on snagging the best seats in the Phog, follow @KU_BBallCamping. Of course, you must follow all the UDKs accounts for news @UDK_News, play @UDKplay, sports @UDK_ Sports, and opinions @UDK_ Opinion. And if you want, send a follow my way. Thats about all I have for you at this moment. Cheers to the new school year. Jordan Warren is a senior majoring in journalism from Overland Park. Follow her on Twitter @jordan_mechele.

ydraulic fracturing or fracking has been flowing in and out of the public spotlight for years. Its been touted by the Obama administration and the industry as the savior of American energy dependence but its no silver bullet. The cost is insane and the payoff is underwhelming. Hydraulic fracturing is, briefly, the process of drilling deep into the ground to find a layer of shale. After finding this rock layer, drilling continues horizontally for a short distance. Small detonating charges line the inside of this horizontal section and are set off to create small cracks in the rock. Water and chemicals are pumped at high pressures to widen the cracks and allow oil and gas to flow back through. Most of the water is removed and it becomes an otherwise regular well. It seems simple, really, just optimizing our reserves and potentially creating a new industry within an industry. More oil, more jobs, and more money in our pocket all add up to be a slam-dunk. The Environmental Protection Agency claims its impact-free and a dozen state legislators agree. But the environmental and human impacts rear their heads almost immediately. Just below the surface of this energy sustainability network are horror stories of water contamination, issues with basic practicality, and censorship by the EPA. The fracking industry reported via voluntary study in 2011 (FracFocus.org) that each individual frack requires an average of five

million gallons of water. There are tens of thousands of natural gas wells in the United States that each frack upwards of fifteen times until depletion. The amount of energy expended and pollutants emitted when trucking billions of gallons of water to and from these wells is astronomical. The EPA and industry tout that less than 1 percent of the solution is made up of chemicals. That sounds innocent enough until you realize that 1 percent of one hundred billion gallons of water is actually a massive amount of carcinogenic chemicals being pumped directly into the earth every single year. And for the record, the public isnt fully aware of whats inside this chemical solution. The Bush/ Cheney Halliburton Loophole more or less exempted fracking from EPA regulation on drinking water sources. The fracking industrys voluntary report, FracFocus. org, leaves more than 65 percent of the chemicals in the standard solution completely unidentified. If all of these fracturing wells were miles away from homes and neighborhoods, the cost of transporting the water necessary would likely nullify profits, so more and more frack sites are nearby communities. Some are smack in the middle of neighborhoods. This sort of proximity is what led to the stories of faucet water being lit on fire in Dimock, Pennsylva-
nia. The chemicals that arent successfully pumped from the soil are draining into drinking water aquifers and other fresh water sources. Earlier this year, the Associated Press reported on a geologic report from analysis in Weatherford, Texas that would have directly linked fracking to methane contamination in a local water source. A scuffle between the EPA and the drilling company followed and ended with the EPA shutting everything down and gagging the geologic report. Among all the rampant censorship, analysis, and debate, keep in mind that another source of natural gas wont cut prices at the pump. Natural gas isnt used in American cars and most of it is being exported to Europe and Japan, where it can be sold for three to five times the price. If you think fracking is worth the costs or not, one thing is absolutely clear: fracking is at best a controversial Band-Aid. Our reserves may last us another decade but its no more than a temporary solution. Whatever the environmental or human impacts may be today, procrastinating on the natural resource crisis will almost guarantee those impacts ten times over in the coming years. It isnt renewable, isnt sustainable, and only carries a risk of hurting ourselves even more. Wil Kenney is a sophomore majoring in journalism from Leawood. Follow him on Twitter @WilKenney.
Energy company Cuadrilla Resources Ltd. has temporarily suspended drilling at an exploration site in southern England following protests from residents and environmentalists opposed to shale gas extraction. The company said Aug. 16 it had stopped work on police advice, but would resume as soon as it is safe to do so.

Avoid unhealthy foods and choose one of these easy low-calorie recipes
Dani Brady
dbrady@kansan.com While balancing going to class, holding a job and squeezing in time to have some fun, eating healthy can seem tedious and impossible. But before you stop at that fast food drivethrough and peek at the dollar menu, remember when you are hungry there are always healthy alternatives. Swapping out certain items in a favorite meal or snack can save you meaningless calories. To avoid extra calories during lunch, keep in mind a 250-calorie hoagie roll can easily be replaced by pita bread with only 170 calories. And when you are craving a snack after class, tortilla chips with salsa instead of cheese dip are half the calories. There are plenty of ways to savor the flavor of your favorite foods while also saving some calories. Here is a lightened recipe for chunky monkey cookies that is easy to make while also being healthy and delicious. Edited by Lauren Armendariz
Lemon-Raspberry Muffins
Ingredients: 1 lemon 1/2 cup sugar 1 cup nonfat buttermilk, (see Tip) 1/3 cup canola oil 1 large egg 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup white whole-wheat flour, or whole-wheat pastry flour (see Shopping Tip) 1 cup all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen (not thawed) raspberries Directions: Preheat oven to 400F. Coat 12 large (1/2-cup) muffin cups with cooking spray or line with paper liners. Use a vegetable peeler to remove the zest from the lemon in long strips. Combine the zest and sugar in a food processor; pulse until the zest is very finely chopped into the sugar. Add buttermilk, oil, egg and vanilla and pulse until blended. Combine whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Add the buttermilk mixture and fold until almost blended. Gently fold in raspberries. Divide the batter among the muffin cups. Bake the muffins until the edges and tops are golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack. Serve warm.

ne of the freshest independent films to hit the circuit this summer just made its way to Liberty Hall in Lawrence. This film is none other than "The Way, Way Back. It features the talents of Toni Collette, Steve Carell and Sam Rockwell and introduces 14-year-old Liam James. It tells the story of Duncan's (James) summer vacation with his mother, her overbearing boyfriend and his daughter. Being an introverted teenager, Duncan has a hard time fitting in, but finds a friend in Owen, played by the always pleasant Sam Rockwell, who manages the "Water Wizz" water park.

the budding one with the girl next door played by AnnaSophia Robb, Duncan slowly opens up and begins to finally find his place in the worldall during a summer he will never forget. I really enjoyed this movie, as I do with most films that Fox Searchlight produces. It was very interesting to see Carell
in such a different role, being a douchebag-possible stepfather instead of the normal funny man that he is. The two roles that stand out the most for me, though, are that of Duncan and Owen, played by James and Rockwell, respectively. Liam James plays the awkward innocence of early adolescence perfectly, and Sam Rockwell is too likeable to look away. If you enjoy coming-of-age stories about summer vacations, or just love Sam Rockwell and Steve Carell, I suggest making a trip down to Liberty Hall and catching this flick as soon as possible.

Homme delivers are accompanied by an inventive and well felt out rhythm section. Drummer Joey Castillo departed from the band halfway through the recording process. He drummed with Queens of the Stone Age for ten years and also drummed with Homme in Eagles of Death Metal. Foo Fighters frontman and previous Queens of the Stone Age guest drummer, Dave Grohl, returned to the studio to assist the band until the completion of the album. Grohl previously drummed as a guest on the entire 2002 album Songs For The Deaf. For a hard, progressive style, this Queens of The Stone Age album deals out a handful of catchy tunes that could even have the occasional listener tapping in for a leisurely listen. With songs like I Sat by the Ocean, If I Had a Tail, and Kalopsia, there is a song that any music fan couldat the very leastappreciate. The variety of style, tempo and tone that is found in Like Clockwork is what stands out most for Queens of the Stone Age this year. And with guest appearances from members of bands such as the Scissor Sisters, the Arctic Monkeys as well as an appearance by the one and only Elton John, it isnt a mystery as to how that range of style worked its way into the album. Like Clockwork may be the only new Queens of the Stone Age that fans get for another few yearsits a good thing they made something worth listening to. Edited by Lauren Armendariz

A year ago, a botched restoration of a fresco of Christ by an 80-year-old Spanish pensioner drew mocking laughter. Now, the artist Cecilia Gimenez has the last laugh. Officials in Borja, a town of 5,000 people in northeastern Spain, said the fresco has drawn more than 40,000 visitors and raised more than 50,000 euros ($66,285) for a local charity. Next week, Gimenez and the local council which owns the sanctuary are to sign a deal sharing the profits from merchandising that features the image.

etflix has started an ongoing war with itself. In the beginning, when Netflix announced that it would be doing original programming, there were definitely some mixed feelings. However, House of Cards proved all of the doubters wrong; it was the perfect mix of drama, good acting and storytelling. Suddenly everyone was talking about how Netflix could do no wrong. Then came the disaster called Hemlock Grove. With a show that no one could place in a specific category, with actors that were not really up to par with Kevin Spacey, and just downright stupid plot lines, audi-
ences had their doubts reinstated and were frustrated as to why Netflix couldnt just leave the programming to other companies. Now, with the introduction of the newest original series Orange is the new Black, Netflix has been able to prove itself once again. The show is smart, creative and just incredibly funny. Not to mention the acting, especially from Danielle Brooks and Natasha Lyonne is spot on. However, the one item that makes the show is the chemistry between all the characters. They are able to play off each other perfectly, despite this being the first season of the show. However, it really isnt the acting, the story line, or even the writing that makes the show. Rather, it is how the show doesnt make light of issues dealing with race or class. Instead, the characters and the story face them head on and talk about them in an open fashion. It not only makes the show more realistic, but it also makes it more
interesting because questions and problems that audience members would be dealing with if they were in a similar situation are being answered. I dont know if it is because it is loosely based off a true story, or its just the creators brilliant mind, but whatever it is, its working. The next step for all of these Netflix shows? A second season. Please. I understand that there is one on the way, taping has officially began, but things need to speed up. This is my personal plea to Netflix to start building off these wonderful storylines and let me waste more time in front of my computer. I understand that this may be a strange request, but I would really love to be able to see what happens to these characters, especially Poussey. You have made a name for yourself Netflix, now prove that you are in it for the long haul. Edited by Lauren Armendariz

Change in technology threatens drive-in theaters, but it didnt stop a new venue in Ohio.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LANCASTER, Ohio (AP) Through 80 summers, drive-in theaters have managed to remain a part of the American fabric, surviving technological advances and changing tastes that put thousands out of business. Now the industry says a good chunk of the 350 or so left could be forced to turn out the lights because they can't afford to adapt to the digital age. Movie studios are phasing out 35 mm film prints, and the switch to an eventually all-digital distribution system is pushing the outdoor theaters to make the expensive change to digital projectors. The $70,000-plus investment required per screen is significant, especially for what is in most places a summertime business kept alive by mom-and-pop operators. Paying for the switch would suck up most owners' profits for years to come. The United Drive-In Theatre Owners Association figures 50 to 60 theaters have already converted. At least one operator has decided to close down instead of switch, but it's not clear how many more might bite the dust. "Everyone knows eventually that you'll be digital or you'll close your doors," says Walt Effinger, whose Skyvue Drive-In in the central Ohio town of Lancaster has been showing movies on an 80-foot screen since 1948. "Some will. If you're not doing enough business to justify the expense, you're just going to have to close up." Effinger worked at the Skyvue off and on for 30 years before he and his wife, Cathie, bought it two decades ago. They converted to digital last year, the first of the state's 29 driveins to do so. Because the films now come on a device the size of a portable hard drive and are downloaded to his projector, it's less hassle for him on movie nights and gives viewers a stunningly brighter, clearer image. Think of the picture on a flatscreen digital TV, compared with the old tube set. The digital transformation has been underway in the film industry for more than a decade because of the better picture and sound quality and the ease of delivery no more huge reels of film. The time frame isn't clear, but production companies are already phasing out traditional 35 mm film, and it's expected to disappear completely over the next few years. "We know fewer and fewer prints are being struck," says D. Edward Vogel, who runs the historic Bengies Drive-In in Baltimore and is spokesman for the United Drive-In Theatre Owners Association. An industry incentive program will reimburse theater owners 80 percent of the cost of conversion over time, Vogel says, but because most drive-ins are small, familyrun businesses, it's hard for many to find the money, period. And the reimbursement doesn't cover the tens of thousands of dollars more that many will have to spend renovating projection rooms to create the climate-controlled conditions needed for the hightech equipment. It's a dilemma also faced by the nation's small independent theaters, many of them struggling to pay for conversion to digital years after corporate-owned multiplexes already did it. Darci and Bill Wemple, owners of two drive-ins in upstate New York, hope an online competition will help them with the $225,000 to $250,000 they figure it will cost to switch their three screens. The American Honda Motor Co. is compiling online votes for the nation's favorite drive-ins and is going to pay the digital conversion costs for the top five vote-getters. The Wemples say that if they don't get help, they'll have to consider closing up. "To make this kind of conversion with three screens is like trying to buy another drive-in all over again," says Darci Wemple, whose El Rancho theater in Palatine Bridge is among dozens of drive-ins featured in the Honda ad promotion. Number of drive-ins peaked at more than 4,000 in the late 1950s. Now there are 357. Robyn Deal and Dave Foraker have been going to the Skyvue in Lancaster since they were both in school in the 1960s and early '70s. On a recent weekend night, they sat together in folding chairs outside their car, blankets on their laps and their 12-year-old dachshund, Wilson, getting lots of attention just before a double feature of "Turbo" and "The Wolverine." "So much of our heritage is going away, and this is one of them," said the 60-year-old Foraker, who figures his first movie at the Skyvue was "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" around 1966. "A lot of the things I did when I was kid are gone," he said. "I think they're trying to keep what's left."

Photographs about the life and films of Luis Bunuel hang at an exhibit inside the Casa Bunuel in Mexico City. For a man who assaulted moviegoers with such shots as an ant-infested hand, an eyeball sliced open with a straight razor, and elegant dinners sitting on toilets, Bunuel enjoyed a surprisingly genteel life here. The Spanish government, which bought the house from Bunuels family, has opened the house to a public long fascinated with his work.
Associated Press
A priest who got to know Bunuel, however, said the director would stray from the routine by burning the books of Agatha Christie and other writers in the fireplace. "There was always imagination and humor and good food," his son, Juan Luis, also a filmmaker, once said of growing up in the house. The house does boast paraphernalia from some Bunuel films such as a movie poster for "The Young and the Damned," which brutally depicted the poverty endured by Mexico City's street children. The film's script and reel canisters are also on exhibit, along with stills from other films and photos of Bunuel at work. Built in the early 1950s by architect Arturo Saenz, the building is modeled after Madrid's Student Residence, which was known as a
cultural hub that nurtured, among others, Spanish painter Salvador Dali and poet Federico Garcia Lorca, both once close friends of Bunuel. "In a way, he was nostalgic about Spain," said Javier Espada, the director of the Centro Bunuel in Calanda, Spain, the artist's hometown. "The house brings to mind the Spanish style. It has the look of the architecture of an exile." In the 1964 French documentary "A Filmmaker of Our Time," a paranoid Bunuel said he hardly ever left the "small house with a garden," secluding himself from the world because of his deafness. He told people that he built a fence, with shards of broken glass sticking out, around his den to scare away the thieves. Bunuel's house opened as a pilot exhibit in December 2011 to mark the 50th anniversary of his
film "Viridiana," which the Vatican once qualified as blasphemous for showing a man almost raping his niece, a novice, and then committing suicide. The home closed again in May 2012 before reopening last week with a round-table discussion featuring filmmakers, journalists and an actress who appeared in his films. Silvia Pinal, one of Bunuel's muses, said the house looks nothing like it did back when he would invite friends over to share a paella and a martini-like cocktail he called the "Bunueloni." Despite the house's somber appearance, it played host to plenty of festivity, she said. "The house will introduce this Bunuel many people don't know," Pinal said. "He was not only a director. He was a human being. But where's the cantina?"

COMMENTARY
bschuster@kansan.com
By Blake Schuster
f you happen to see a six-foot, 200 lbs. athlete with a flat top shutting his eyes, please let the man sleep. Kansas running back James Sims needs his rest. Heck, just watching Sims makes you tired. Thats him sprinting up Mt. Oread. There he goes touching every step in Memorial Stadium. Somewhere along the way a gym teacher must have forgotten to teach Sims what a light jog is. Not that it would matter at this point. Sims has come too close to history to slow down. So please, give the boy a minute. These days, Sims makes time for eight or nine hours of sleep. Not that he was always able to. Back in my freshman year five or four hours, Sims said. I couldnt really sleep. Perhaps thats because a few things changed. As a sophomore, Sims showed potential while averaging four yards per carry. As a junior he led the Big 12 with 112.6 yards per game. As a senior, well, well get there. First, Sims needs a break. You see, Sims took a beating his junior year while carrying the ball 218 times for more than 1000 yards. Hes ready to go for this season, as ready as hes been for any season in his life. But those 218 carries come with a price, one that he pays on Sunday mornings. My legs are done with, Sims said. Ill be bruised up a lot. So just give the man a minute. After all, its these moments when Sims can close his eyes and take a second to remember why hes running so hard. I want to be at the top of the Big 12, Sims said. Be the leading rusher. And heres truth: The man could do it. He could etch his name in the Big 12 record books, and without so much as thinking about it, he could set a Kansas record at the same time. James Sims has 1359 yards to go before passing June Henleys Kansas career record of 3841 rushing yards from 1993-96 a record Sims would be much closer to breaking if he hadnt been suspended for three games in 2012. At last seasons pace, he would just need to play all 12 games this year to accomplish the feat. This is not where his head is. Sims is reaching for an accolade that would put him alongside conference greats Daniel Thomas, Jamaal Charles, Cedric Benson, Darren Sproles and Ricky Williams as the best running back in the Big 12. Sims isnt the fastest running back in the stable like those names were. Even he admits that distinction belongs to Tony Pierson and its not even close. Yet all summer Sims and strength and conditioning coach Scott Holsopple worked on speed. They made sure Sims could get his hip flexors loose. That he could get a quicker burst at the line of scrimmage. Hes faster, running backs coach Reggie Mitchell said. Hes got a really good feel for how things are being blocked. He just looks really good right now. Sims is trying to accomplish something that only one Jayhawk, Jon Cornish, has earned since 1996: gain more yards than any other back in the conference. I just want to take it week by week and be at the top at the end of the season, Sims said. And he could do it. He just needs his rest.

mgoodwin@kansan.com Jake Heaps knows how things turned out for Dayne Crist last year as quarterback for the Jayhawks. Heaps watched every snap and was able to learn what worked for Crist, and more often, what didnt. Through it all, Heaps maintained a level of respect for the stoic way Crist carried himself during the difficult moments of the season. I learned a lot from how he handled adversity, Heaps said. Despite throwing nine interceptions and four touchdowns, Crist wasnt solely responsible for the abysmal Kansas passing game. Passing efficiency and completion percentage were even lower for sophomore Michael Cummmings when he took over mid-season. As a team, Kansas finished second to last in quarterback rating and completion percentage. Just two teams threw fewer than the Jayhawks seven touchdowns. Coach Charlie Weis holds himself partially responsible for the struggles Kansas had a season ago, but he believes there is a major difference between having Crist at quarterback last year and Heaps being behind center this season. That difference is health. Crist
breakaway speed, he can catch the football and great vision in the backfield. With those weapons, and a few others, like speedy junior college transfer Rodriguez Coleman, Heaps cant wait to get the season going. Hes finally back in a position to lead a team. The leadership role is one Weis said Heaps took immediately following the final game of the 2012 season. I think he was just chomping at the bit, Weis said. Im surprised he didnt meet us at the plane after the West Virginia game, because it became his time to be back in the mix. As the Jayhawks move closer to the first game of the season, Heaps is looking forward to running out of the tunnel for the first time in a Kansas uniform, but he remains focused on leading the team as they continue to prepare and improve. I dont care how we get it done, Heaps said. We just want to win. Edited by Madison Schultz

or some teams, just winning more games than they lose is an accomplishment. The last time the Royals won more games than they lost was 2003, when Barry Bonds, Alex Rodriguez and Jim Thome were baseballs golden boys. The 2003 Royals were a team whose motto was We Believe, and they bear many resemblances to the team that we see in 2013; a cornerstone outfielder, a below-the-radar starting staff and a solid bullpen. As fans know, the hardest thing for many big league teams is not only repeating success, but sustaining overall consistency. The 2003 Royals may have had some talent, but they werent built from players who showed theyd be able to last in the long haul. This is why they hung their heads at a 100-loss season the next year and were ultimately forced to move their star player in Carlos Beltran. So here the Royals sit in 2013: A record above .500 and a position to steal a wild card spot. The teams makeup is much of the same

as the 2003 season but one thing stands out from the team of a decade ago: long-term potential. The Royals are using a model that relies on young talent rather than going against bigger market teams who reach for star players in free agency. Last year the Washington Nationals were just one of the most recent teams to see the fruits of their labor when the team jumped from 80 to 98 wins in one season, led by under 25-year-old players like
By Ben Allen
Bryce Harper and Stephen Strasburg. The Royals, who often compiled a team of misfit players such as Miguel Olivo and Bret Tomko, are now beginning to place their trust in young talents like Salvador Perez and Greg Holland. Kansas City now sports six homegrown players. Two are former all-stars, three are solid starters, and Terry Francona once called one, Eric Hosmer, a future MVP. The Royals of 2013 are a team that many in pre-season speculated might have a chance to make the playoffs with the addition of star pitcher James Shields. Many, though, scrutinized the team trading top prospect Wil Myers to the Rays to get Shields. The biggest thing when you have young talent is the need to bring in good veterans to balance out the immaturities. When the Royals brought on the 31-yearold Shields, they were not only trying to round out a team for this year, but for years to come. The Royals of 2003 are gone, as none of
those players are still on their roster. But the 2013 Royals are not looking to rebuild anytime soon. With a nucleus of young talented players and gritty tough veterans, the Royals of now have nowhere to look but up. Edited by Madison Schultz

Theyve learned really quickly. With so many veterans, the team has a good grasp of the drills, tempo and expectations that come with the beginning of a new season. The returners are making sure the newcomers feel comfortable in this new environment. On the floor we have a lot of vocal leaders, setter Erin McNorton, a senior setter from Plano, Texas, said. We have a lot of people with experience on this team, so that helps with leadership. McNorton joins Jarmoc and outside hitter Sara McClinton on the All-Big 12 Preseason Team. Kansas, along with Texas and Iowa State, led the Big 12 with three players on the Preseason Team. Players and staff were anxious to get to work this fall. A week before preseason camp started, players began counting down till the first day of practice on their social media accounts. Im excited and I know the staff is excited to get going, Bechard said. There has been a lot of anticipation and the kids have been working hard this summer, but we dont really have a chance to get together as a team and talk about what wed like to get accomplished until camp starts. It was certainly fun to do that. The Jayhawks will look to make consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances for the first time since 2003-2005, when they made three straight appearances. Kansas is ranked No. 20 in the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) preseason poll, its first ever preseason ranking. All fans are encouraged to come to Horesji Family Athletics Center to see the team in action. Students get in free with a valid KU ID. The atmosphere of volleyball is almost incomparable to any other sport because the athletes are so athletic and the game is continuous, said Arin McMullen, the head student manager. Horesji has arguably the best atmosphere in the Big 12 to play a game. Its something you should do at least once before you graduate. Edited by Elise Reuter

If you needed further evidence of Combs top-notch work ethic, there is nothing better than taking a look at his ability to reduce his weight from 320 pounds when he first arrived in December to a lean 290 now. He said the transition was strenuous. Combs, playing in a newly integrated defense at the time at Pierce Community College, had to put on some pounds. Once he transferred to Kansas, he knew the roles had to be reversed, and the only task at hand was getting down to the ideal weight for Kansas defense. Combs has been adamant in his decision to go to Kansas after receiving more than 50 scholarship offers and is unrelenting in his surprising choice after decommitting from Ole Miss because he wanted to graduate from Pierce early. Combs is comfortable in his element and thinks that its the right place for him. I wanted to go to a program that was on the rise or was sort of losing, Combs said. Combs said Kansas came into the picture relatively late. He didnt even know who Charlie Weis was
until he did his research. Combs was in disbelief after learning that Weis has four Super Bowl rings. He wanted to pick up a program that was struggling and become one of the driving forces of that resurgence. We want to be the reason why this program came from here all the way to the top and I think its the perfect year to do it, Combs said. Combs plays an integral part to both this new recruiting class and to the program as a whole. This recruiting class holds the keys to what could be a bigger amount of talent in the next recruiting classes. While the yo-yo may preoccupy Combs for now, when he steps on the field in September he is going to be shredding tackles. The allure will only matter if he can reinforce those special talents that have been emboldened by his personality. For a player who has built a reputation on talking, his aspirations have him at a shortage of words. The Dream Team here, Combs said. Thats all I can say. Edited by Hayley Jozwiak

Junior nickelback Cassius Sendish, right, trains with redshirt freshman safety Tevin Shaw at fall camp on Aug. 16. Sendish transferred to Kansas from Arizona Western Community College. another defensive back rather than taking one away. Weis is confident in Sendishs ability, and will play him wherever the secondary needs him most. Sendish has already been mentioned as one of the star players of fall camp. Its pretty obvious when were on the field that one of the guys that stands out both as a leader and performer is Cassius Sendish, Weis said. Maturity is something Sendish learned in his time at Arizona Western Community College. Sendish says he always expected his athleticism to get him into a major university, but instead had to take the long road through two years of junior college before making it to the Division I level. Though Sendish is honest about making the mistake of letting his grades slip in high school, hes also quick to note that he was able to turn things around at Arizona Western. He said his grade point average his last two semesters was a 3.8 and a 4.0. I had to learn the hard way, but Ive obviously learned my lesson, Sendish said. Kansas tight ends coach Jeff Blasko was in charge of recruiting Sendish out of Arizona Western, and Blasko said it didnt take long to notice something different about him. We liked the way he plays the game, but the more of a relationship I built with him, the more that positive character started to come out, Blasko said. It was very early on in the process that we saw there was something special about him from the way he carried himself. Sendish was one of four players

that Weis brought to Big 12 media days in Dallas this summer to represent Kansas, and Sendish presented himself with maturity and professionalism as he spoke of getting in shape for the season.

The defense is going to be a lot more competitive and will push the team to a few more wins than expected
The Jayhawk defense failed to muster any pressure on the up-tempo, feverish offenses of the Big 12 in 2012 because of a lack of depth. This year, Kansas has depth with a plethora of physical bodies to go along with the eminent leadership of junior linebacker Ben Heeney and a blossoming secondary that features the most raved-about Kansas defensive player, junior nickelback/cornerback Cassius Sendish. While the defense might not shut any teams down, its going to cause some disruptions in the Big 12, which currently has one of its weakest quarterback classes in the last five years.
1)
Whether anybody wants to believe it or not, intangibles matter in football and even more so in reference to the Kansas defense. With the new nickelbased system being implemented this season, leaders are imperative for a youthful defense. The defensive unit could blossom in leaps and bounds, and that all hinges on the leader of this defense. Defenders like junior lineman Marquel Combs, junior lineman Keon Stowers, Cassius Sendish, senior safety Dexton Linton and the incumbent Ben Heeney. For all the Dream Team aspirations to come to fruition, these defenders are the anchors to success and the rest are the guiding crew to the ship.
7)
2)
While the Big 12 is a passing conference, quarterbacks can struggle, especially with the spread offense and its intricacies. Even the more-than adequate West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith struggled. The quarterbacks that dont necessarily catch up to the fast game and struggle early on can mask the problems with the barrage of playmakers around them. Kansas has playmakers, but not any more than what the top half of the league will have. The team has wide receivers junior Justin McCay and senior Christian Matthews who are speed demons, but still havent produced a sample size to ease any doubt. Junior quarterback Jake Heaps will certainly be an upgrade from last seasons quarterback quarrel, but its hard to believe hell jump in there and make an immediate impact.
Once something emanates from coach Charlie Weis candid mouth, you certainly will be able to tell. And with a team abundant with more personalities and storylines than last season, at the bare minimum, Weis will create two hashtag worthy moments for the season.
Memorial Stadium will break the 50,000 barrier attendance mark at least once this season
Perhaps it will be the first game or the second, but Memorial Stadium has to be close-to-full for at least one game. Last year no game eclipsed the 50,000 mark in a disarray season, but every game but one passed the 40,000 mark. You have to think there is a glimmer of hope to spark the fans to fill Memorial once, which will probably be the Kansas State game, when you wont be able to discern if youre in Manhattan or Lawrence.

3)
James Sims will become Kansas alltime leading rusher this season
9)
Running back James Sims carries the ball against Texas Tech Oct. 1, 2011. Sims finished the game with 84 yards and a touchdown. Sims comes into the 2013 season 1,359 yards from breaking the team career rushing record held by June Henley.
Senior running back James Sims has worked extremely hard this offseason. Sims has shown he can carry the load game after game. He needs 1,359 yards to surpass June Henley on the all-time rushing list, which is just a little more than 300 yards short of the 1,013 he compiled last season in nine games. In some out of reach games, look for Weis to pad his stats. With a bolstered offensive line, Sims will obtain the record by a slim margin.
4)
Before sophomore Pearce Slater arrived in Lawrence, the offensive line was experienced, gifted and had guys that were ready to step into their role. Now that Slater who offensive line coach Tim Grunhard said is one of the biggest guys hes ever coached is on the depth chart and practicing, the offensive line is a group that has gelled well so far and has seen some major transformation. Including a well-documented, 75-pound weight shedder senior Aslam Sterling and junior Pat Lewandowksi playing at center for the first time, theyve shown they can commit to their roles and be the unit that the offense needs to propel the team forward.
While Kansas will be in the cellar passing the ball, rushing the ball is obviously going to be its forte. With added depth this year, the rushing attack will stretch its game even further. Also, an upgraded quarterback threat at least at first will only help matters, erasing a couple of defenders out the box and allowing more running room for the backfield, which wasnt the case last season.
Either Brandon Bourbon or Tony Pierson will eclipse the 800-yard mark
The captivating addition to the offense was announced early on when Weis decided to move junior Tony Pierson to the flanker position, also known as the slot receiver. That was embellished by the fact that senior Brandon Bourbon, previously a running back, was added as the No. 2 flanker. While Heaps may experience some anguish from the gate, Pierson and Bourbon are going to be his security blankets. When Pierson and Bourbon run in space, they are an ensuing nightmare. They are Heaps best friends no matter what he tells you.

College, said. We all started that Dream Team and I think that was a big reason I came here too. Dream Teams usually have ambitious goals. This one certainly does considering Kansas six football wins in three seasons. I want to turn this team around from going 1-11 to a bowl game or do even better, Johnson said. Its bowl or bust for the Dream Team, and the surrounding criticism couldnt mean less to the junior college group. They dont care that they teams was picked last in the conference. They dont care that the team they now play for hasnt won a conference game in two years. And they certainly do not care if anyone makes fun of the Dream Team. Basically we dont have any spotlight on us, not even a little light on us, but thats just going to make the season even more special, Faifili said. When we do show something everybodys going to be like, Woah, who are these guys? because we came out nowhere and no one will really know. Added Pearce Slater, Anything is possible.

non-violent theft, said KU Police Captain Schuyler Bailey of campus crime. According to the KU Public Safety Office, only two cases of violent crime were reported in 2011, but 212 cases of larceny and theft were reported that year. The majority of items were reported stolen from a building or a motor vehicle. The Benchmark Survey also revealed that the rate of fraud in Lawrence is significantly higher than average. To guard against identity theft, students should be cautious in giving out personal information, and review credit card statements on a regular basis. Students are also encouraged to sign up for emergency text messaging from KU Alerts to stay informed in the event of a violent crime or crisis. Edited by Dylan Lysen

t any music festival, youre bound to wind up waiting at a stage for the band you love while a host of others occupy your time. Because you rarely have a chance to stop and look around for an extended moment, it makes sense that these fleeting elements overlap. On this clear Sunday afternoon in Chicago, Alex Clare stands in front of a crowd of thousands at the Bud Light stage and belts out the smooth chorus to Where Is The Heart In This? with a tallit barely peeking out from under his blue buttondown shirt. The lyrics seep out of the speakers and slide over the faces of the masses causing you to sway along with the song. Its an involuntary movement. Your mind is elsewhere. Perhaps dreaming about Phoenix taking the same stage in a few hours, or reliving Saturday nights session with Queens
of the Stone Age, yet your body is grooving. Thats when the breeze comes. The soothing cool that skims off the top of Lake Michigan on the east side of Grant Park and glides across the city. It swirls around your head and neck, rarely dipping any lower. Its not cold, but still chilling, and its been there all weekend, you just never had time to notice it. In a season plagued by large festivals, the wind flow is certainly not what separates Lollapalooza from the bunch. No, this is more of an added perk. A welcomed gift that returns over and over again. As Ezra Koenig, the New York-bred front man for Vampire Weekend, pointed out during his set, other major metropolises dont do this. New York doesnt shut down Central Park to bring more than one hundred artists across all platforms of music to town. Los Angeles doesnt pack 160,000 people onto Santa Monica Pier at once.

through to go to Steve Aoki, Wenk said. I ended up leaving Aoki five minutes into seeing the set and left the festival. Had Wenk kept his post at the Killers set, he would have witnessed the chorus of Souldiers serenading Chicago during an encore performance of the song All These Things That Ive Done. One of the not-so-rare moments when the crowd at Lollapalooza morphs into a mass of maniacs combined for a common cause. Instead, Wenk made his way over to Perrys Stage, centered at the crossroads of Balbo Avenue and Columbus Drive. The place that plays to one genre and one genre only: electronic dance music. You know youre getting too close to Perry's when the crowd starts to look younger, clothing becomes more optional and the thumping bass overpowers any conversation. Perrys combines the ultimate dance party with the ultimate peoplewatching position. Teenage girls draped in tutus from their youth or someone elses
Its a great atmosphere where you can see all types of music. Grant Park is a beautiful place to have a music festival.

From the art fair to Buckingham Fountain to the eight stages at Grant Park, one just slightly within earshot of the next, it causes you to wonder: Is this band good enough right now? and Boy, they sure are rocking hard across the way, maybe its time to check that out.

With a new Student Senate taking office at the University this fall, students may see changes from the shift in leadership. In April, the student coalition Ad Astra, current Student Body President Marcus Tetwiler and Vice President Emma Halling, beat long-standing coalition KUnited, presidential candidate Brandon Woodard and vice presidential candidate Blaine Bengston, to gain control of Student Senate. Ad Astra ran on platforms for parking ticket forgiveness, eliminating taxes on textbooks and a more accessible and transparent student government. Student Body President Marcus Tetwiler, senior from Paola, said the first improvement students should expect to see upon returning is a more accessible student government. He said there will be a Student Senate YouTube channel where students can find senate meetings and special announcements. Additionally, Senate plans to have its first public forum in early September.

However, students may have more to worry about it in the future. The Bipartisan Student Loan Certainty Act lowers the interest rates on student loans for the 20132014 school year. The bill allows for undergraduates to borrow money at a 3.9 percent interest rate. Graduate students can borrow at 5.4 percent interest and parents can borrow at 6.4 percent. The bill only affects Stafford loans, not loans from private lenders. All rates will remain fixed for the life of the loan. This legislation connects interest rates to the financial markets. As the economy strengthens, rates may climb for students in the future. A

They sat through Ben Howard. They waited an hour then sat through Local Natives. Another break in the action and then a set from the National. But you finally have time to look around to take mental pictures in your mind and videos on your phone. You see the 30-year-old woman blowing bubbles. You wish you hadn't seen the guy wearing nothing but a Speedo and using it as a fanny pack. You soak every bit of it up. And when it seemed Marcus Mumford would never utter an elongated syllable, there he was screaming to the crowd that stood all day for his group: I will wait, I will wait, for you. And as he did, the calming cool from Lake Michigan swept over the crowd, picked up the worn out spirits and gave them the energy to make it through one more set. The same as it had been all weekend.

choices that will fuel you. Paiva said that eating breakfast every day will help start the day right and keep cravings at bay. Students can also check nutrition information for on-campus restaurants and dining halls online in order to make educated decisions no matter where they choose to eat. Looking into this in advance will help make the choice easy and painless, she said. Paiva recommended opting for whole grains, healthy sandwiches or the salad bar, and said that students need to be sure to exercise during downtime, even if its just a walk. It will decrease the time youre sitting around and prevent you from mindless munching, she said. Edited by Maddie Schultz

With craft beer being popular in the Midwest, Merchants will have the variety of craft beer for customer choosing and taste. By gathering beer from smaller breweries in the regions of Texas, Colorado, California, Oregon, Washington and Kansas, Wilson hopes Merchants embraces the long beer heritage that the area has and push it forward. The ultimate goal of the change,
Wilson said, was to embrace the fact that Lawrence is a college town. For the longest time Tellers was a destination place, or just for special occasions, and one of the big things was that we wanted to be a session bar, Wilson said. Merchants will definitely fit the bill of the idea of being a college-style bar. The restaurant will have two large TVs, two happy hours and one of the more interesting deals from 10 p.m. until 2 a.m.: the Four for Four. Wilson described the Four for Four as getting four beers for $4. Come Labor Day, customers will get the chance to experience the new-look downtown restaurant and its extensive beer collection.

The University of Kansas Theatre Department has already kicked off the 2013-14 season performing the Broadway hit Kiss Me, Kate in July. All the performances of the show were sold out. Doing this classic was a challenge, because we decided to have our actors play multiple roles, director John Staniunas said. We decided to do a classical musical first, then later on this year we will do a musical thats more current. On Aug. 25, interested students are invited to attend the theatre rally at 4 p.m. at the Crafton-Preyer Theater in Murphy Hall to learn more about the department. The department will perform Bram Stokers Dracula, adapted by artistic director Dennis Christilles. In the play, a real estate agent returns to Transylvania and ends up involved in a mystery. Performances are Oct. 3 to 6, 10 and 11. Most casting has happened already, but some roles will be cast
during the first week of school. Open auditions for Dracula will be held Aug. 26 and 27 from 7 to 10 p.m. at the Crafton-Preyer Theater. Callbacks will be held on Aug. 28 and 29. In addition to casting for Dracula, the department will also have auditions for other shows happening this fall. The shows include And I and Silence, Adding Machine: A Musical and

The Maderati. And I and Silence is about friendships and hardships of working-classes and African Americans. Performances are Oct. 25 to 27 and 29 to 31.
Performances of Adding Machine: A Musical are Nov. 15 to 17 and 22 to 24. The musical follows Mr. Zero, who has been working the same job at an accounting firm and is about to be laid off. The Maderati will wrap up the semester with performances Dec. 6 to 8 and 10 to 12. The show is about a Manhattan resident who ends up going to a mental hospital. The spring semester will include students directing Black Box: Undergraduate Directed Projects that will take place Feb. 14 to 16, 18 and 19. The plays will be chosen and directed by undergraduate theatre students. Shakespeares Much Ado About Nothing will be performed Feb. 28, March 1 and 2 and 7 to 9. Performances of The Other Shore will be held April 11 to 13 and 15 to 17. The department will finish out the 2013-2014 season with the musical Over Here! on April 25 to 27 and May 2 to 4.

Matador Records
Was All Talk Kurt Vile Kurt Vile hasnt been around for as long as some people might think when they first hear his music. The sound that Kurt Vile has reached on his latest record, Wakin On A Pretty Daze, has the feel of a laid-back vintage record. With heavy echoes, delays and phaser effects on his guitar riffs and percussion that may or may not be computer generated, the song Was All Talk is one that is sure to get you in the mood to do just about anything.
Gotham Animal Collective Animal Collective is the kind of band that grows on you. If at first you dont like it, try again, and you will find it fairly easy to enjoy. The unfamiliarity of their sound could be both a blessing and a cursestrange time signatures, odd effects, looping sounds and ethereal vocals that lend themselves to blend in perfectly with the rest of the sounds in the song. Gotham was released in 2012, prior to the bands 2012 release of the album Centipede Hz. Its a slower song, filled with melancholic tones, minor chords and a beautifully simple drum beat. Attempt this one on a rainy day, and watch your whole world blend. If I Had a Tail
Domino Records
XL Recordings
Stormur Sigur Ros Its always an emotional ride while listening to Sigur Ros. Lead singer Jonsis voice, and his Icelandic and sometimes gibberish lyrics speak to listeners in incredible ways. Sigur Ros has mastered its mix of slow, ambient, post-rock sounds from its first albums with its happy, popsounding riffs from its latter albums over the years. This mix of sounds has resulted in tracks like the ones that were released this past spring on Kveikur, the bands seventh studio album. Stormur is an uplifting song, one that speaks to a listener the way that Sigur Ross music is always meant to communicate with its listeners. The Three of Us
1904 The Tallest Man on Earth The Tallest Man on Earth, whose real name is Kristian Matsson, is a Swedish folk singer-songwriter who has revamped the power of folk music for a new generation. His vocals and lyrics have a strong resemblance to those of a youthful Bob Dylan, and Matsson has done a wonderful job of bringing that familiar Dylan sound back to a younger generation. His songs consist of only one or two guitar parts both of which are simplistic yet brilliant and not much of any other instruments (except the occasional piano and slide guitar). 1904 is a song that possesses a catchy lead riff with a simple chord progression behind it and a powerful voice to tie it all together.
Dead Oceans
Hellcat Records
To Have and To Have Not Tim Timebomb It appears that another member of Rancid has decided to cover Billy Braggs 1983 protest song To Have and to Have Not. Tim Armstrong does a version that is slightly more on the skate-punk side of the song much different than his fellow band mate Lars Fredriksen had done in 2001 with his band Lars Fredrikson & The Bastards. Armstrongs approach to the song is very uniquely done, with lingering influences of all previous projects that he has been a part of in the past, ranging all the way from the Transplants to the earliest Operation Ivy songs.
Domino Records
True Thrush Dan Deacon Like Viles Was All Talk, Dan Deacons True Thrush off of his album America, which was released in 2012, is filled with happy electronic notes, cheerful crowd vocals and a catchy rhythm that sets Dan Deacon apart from other musicians. The song could start off any summer evening event and it brings a great energy to a group that is impossible to ignore, no matter what kind of music you enjoy listening to.
Queens of the Stone Age Queens of the Stone Age made an inventive return this year with the release of its first studio album in six years. Not only does the song If I Had a Tail bring forth a seriously creative craft that is so personally Queen of the Stone Ages, but the whole Like Clockwork album delivers an energy that had been missed by many fans over the last few years. Queens of the Stone Age has always been known for their distinct riffs and melodies, and both this song and album were able to deliver on both of those aspects.
Streetlight Manifesto The Three of Us is the first track off Streetlight Manifestos fifth studio album, The Hands That Thieve. The horn section in this ska band has not weakened at all. If anything, the horn section has gotten stronger and the lyrics and songwriting have not lost their effect. Tomas Kalnokys lyrics are still packed with strong morals, virtues and empowering statements that have the ability to bring truth and reality to listeners everywhere.
Pretty Boy Young Galaxy The first time I heard Pretty Boy, the DJ on KJHK thought he was pretty clever for playing it on a rainy day. I admit it was a pretty opportune time to play the song, and it was a nice song to listen to on an overcast day, but thats only because it is nearly impossible to decipher whether or not this song is meant to be a happy one or a sad one. Young Galaxys female vocalist Catherine McCandless has the soft, delicate touch of fellow female Canadian vocalists Amy Millan and Leslie Feist. The song will have you replaying it over and over in your head so much that you might end up knowing it by heart eventually.
Doin It Right Daft Punk Daft Punk released its latest album on the last day of finals last semester. The two masked DJs must have known that the release of the album was going to be a good start to the summer. Now that the summer is over doesnt mean that the good times have to stop. Doin It Right, the last track off Random Access Memories is a perfect tune to head back to school to. Its a song that can be played any time of any day on a leisurely bus ride, car ride, bike ride, or it can be a song to unwind to at the end of the week while you enjoy your chosen viceor your higher education textbooks.

Ones. This single-camera comedy stars Robin Williams and Sarah Michelle Gellar as a father-daughter combo who own and work at an advertising agency, Roberts & Roberts. They are polar opposite personalities, but unsurprisingly they are able to work together in order to win over not only clients, but their boss and people in their personal lives, as well. GrEys Anatomy Sept. 26 (ABC) Also premiering on Sept. 26 is the newest season of the hospital soap opera Greys Anatomy. Ending, as always, on a dramatic note, we will know Derek and Merediths baby and how they are as parents, what will happen with the Arizona and Callie mess, and finally the aftermath of the shocking (too soon?) death of Richard. Of course this is not a show to just tune into, but if all of this drama sounds like your thing be sure to check out the previous seasons on Netflix. Marvels Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D Sept. 26 (ABc) But if you are looking to start something new, be sure to check out Marvels Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D on ABC. After premiering the first episode at this years San Diego Comic-Con, there has been a lot of chatter and excitement over the series. Something that was surprising to fans of the film was the fact that Agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) has mysteriously come back to life after dying in the 2012 The Avengers film. However, more exciting than his resurrection is the promise Joss Whedon made about new Marvel characters that have not yet been portrayed in the movies. Once Upon A Time Sept. 29 (ABC) Finally, for all you fantasy fans, on Sept. 29 ABCs Once Upon a Time will be returning for its third season. It is hard to see where the show is going to go, because with Emma breaking the curse all the way in season one, the show seems to be stretching quite thin. However, hopefully with the introduction with new characters, such as Ariel, Tinker Bell and Peter Pan, the story will be able to continue and even more so, break from the cookie cutter mold that the show became victim to in season two. Edited by Dylan Lysen How I Met Your Mother / CBS
fter school starts, but before any major homework is assigned, students have the opportunity to relax and ease into the semester. During this time I like to sit down in front of the television and watch anything and everything. September is coming up and bringing TV series premieres along with it. Here are a few shows that are worth checking out. Parks and Recreation Sept. 26 (NBC) Yall it is time that you treat yoself to some quality comedy. Get ready for Sept. 26, because Parks and Recreation is coming back for its fifth season. Being the best comedy show on television, in my opinion of course, I am more than excited to come back to Pawnee. This show will suffer a major change around the 13th episode though, because it was recently reported that both Rashida Jones (Ann Perkins) and Rob Lowe (Chris Traeger) will both be leaving the show. I guess now we can assume that Chris and Ann will finally have their ridiculously healthy baby and be able to raise it away from the craziness of small government. How I Met Your Mother Sept. 26 (CBS) Another comedy to keep on your radar would be the final season premiere of How I Met Your Mother. After finally meeting the mother in the season eight finale, it is rumored that season nine is going to only cover the weekend in which they first meet, with sporadic nonlinear episodes that the creators had not gotten around to showing previously. Personally, I feel as though this season will get old very fast, but you never know. Or at least we wont know until Sept. 26. The Crazy Ones Sept. 26 (CBS) Sept. 26 will be the night for comedy, apparently, because CBS is also premiering their new show The Crazy

As a freshman, you are beginning a new chapter in your life: a clean slate. With that comes an incredible amount of independence, which can be both beneficial and detrimental. One of the most essential skills ahead is managing your finances. According to the Money Management Center, there are several ways students can learn to stick to a budget and learn to be more money-savvy for the upcoming year. Watch out for hidden costs. Textbooks, class-required school supplies, Greek life activities, sporting events and other extra-curricular activities are just a few examples of fees that you may not initially consider. You should also note that, depending on your major, the number of textbooks and other supplies youll need could differ greatly. While campus bookstores specialize in providing the textbooks you need, students should also

ringing bell looks out at the happy, buzzing college students and alumnus who camp out on the plush grass at Memorial Stadium on those fall Saturdays. When the temperature begins to drop in September and October, before the biting cold, after the miserable heat, all seems right on those fall Saturdays. People cheer, people eat and people most certainly drink on game day in Lawrence. The town buzzes, as parking on Massachusetts Street may be your greatest task of the afternoon. Barbecue is on the grill, just as blue fills the hill. Soon, Memorial Stadium begins to fill. Early in the season, the student section is a solid mass. Late in the year, it resembles a slice of swiss cheese. That's how it's been the last four years on fall Saturdays. You freshman, however, have a chance to have a whole different experience. Where the student section is more likely to resemble a whole block of cheese. Of course, the results on the field will help. But on a fall Saturday in Lawrence, when everything else feels so perfect, the game experience can be a part of that. You freshman can go to the football games, and make fall Saturdays in Lawrence even better. Edited by Dylan Lysen

Markieff Morris In his third Summer League season, the elder Morrii proved that his game is transitioning to the NBA. Morris started all seven games for the Phoenix Suns and averaged 13.6 points and 6.4 rebounds. The Suns lost the championship game to Golden State despite Morris notching 10 points and seven boards. Marcus Morris The Houston Rockets reunited the Morris twins last season as part of a three-team deal that sent Marcus to Phoenix where he and Markieff have begun to re-establish the chemistry that made the duo dominant down low for the Jayhawks. Marcus started all seven games with his brother

bschuster@kansan.com Since 2004, NBA teams have come together each summer in Orlando, Fla., and Las Vegas to give prospects and draftees a chance to showcase their skills before training camp opens up in the fall. The 2013 NBA Summer League saw 10 former Jayhawks work to impress scouts and coaches. Playing strong over the course of the short tournament doesnt guarantee a roster spot, but a poor showing can just about take it away. Ben McLemore After one season in Lawrence, during which he set the Kansas freshman scoring record (15.9 ppg), McLemore was taken 7th overall in the 2013 NBA Draft by the Sacramento Kings and has shown that he can shoot at the next
and, while his 14.3 points per game exceeded Markeiff s total (13.6), Marcus didnt rebound nearly as well as his brother (3.9). Thomas Robinson Now on his third team in two years, Robinson has been given another chance to prove his worth, this time with the Portland Trailblazers. The former 5th overall draft pick by the Sacramento Kings finished with the third most rebounds in Las Vegas (12.8 rpg) while scoring 10.4 points per game for the Portland Trail Blazers. Travis Releford Releford was arguably the best perimeter defender in college basketball last season but did not hear his name called on draft day last June. Instead he accepted a tryout

bschuster@kansan.com Time Capsule Bill Self has not made his job any easier the past five seasons. In fact, all hes done is raise the bar for whoever follows in his footsteps. The Jayhawks have gone 158-27 over that stretch and are pursuing their 10th consecutive Big 12 regular season title after splitting the award with Kansas State last year. But the accolades extend far beyond Big 12 play and into March. Kansas took a trip to the Elite Eight in 2011 and the Final Four in 2012. All the while, Self and his staff have been producing NBA talents such as Cole Aldrich, Marcus and Markeiff Morris, Tyshawn Taylor, Xavier Henry, Thomas Robinson, Jeff Withey, Ben McLemore and Josh Selby.

THE MORNING BREW Fans of Johnny Football too caught up in his personal life
C
ollege football benefits from Johnny Football. The fan benefits from Johnny Football. And Johnny Footballs mere existence in a Texas A&M uniform is in trouble. Johnny Manziel is a 20-year-old kid on an awful large stage. He drinks. He once got in trouble for a fake ID. He takes pictures with scantily dressed coeds. He enjoys his summer. He recently woke up dehydrated. And there have been unproven claims that he received money for his signature. Hes a Texan with a cool nickname who also happens to have the most prestigious individual trophy in sports resting on his mantle. Hes the first ever freshman to win the Heisman trophy and was the most polarizing player in college football last season. Its time to leave Johnny Football alone. Now, those investigating Manziel for his alleged rule breaking should continue doing their job. When it comes to the media and the average college football fan, Manziels personal life, should be removed from the tray under the microscope. Manziels summer headlines look more like tabloid-gossip than your typical offseason stories. Sure, he brings much of this upon himself. But theres also something so juicy, so much more entertaining about Manziel: The quarterback whos lost

control, than Manziel: Works out; people impressed. People tend to drool when Manziel does somethingcollegey. They act like hes captaining the Titanic when he acts like a somewhat typical college kid, nonetheless one that won the freaking Heisman. Of course hes going to try to live it up. I certainly would. Yes, he is certainly a kid that has more responsibilities than your typical college student. Of course he is. Of course children look up to him. Its a shame those children have to see a story on ESPN about Manziel getting kicked out of a fraternity party. A decent amount of college athletes go out, because thats what college students tend to do. Its a piece of a normal lifestyle they get to live out. Manziel is doing the same. Texas A&M isnt the Titanic, and Manziel isnt captaining the ship. His offseason behavior is no reason to be concerned about his play on the field that is until he plays a foot-
ball game hungover. If the Aggies struggle, it will be because of better scouting reports on Manziel. Not because of the quarterback living a more visible offseason lifestyle. The facts stand that Johnny Footballs play was as aesthetically pleasing as a college quarterbacks play can be. He would sprint around the field, inches shorter than the men protecting him and the defenders chasing him, zigging and zagging through the crowd while keeping his eyes on his targets ahead of him. Then, hed zip a pass magically falling into his teammates hands. This is the kid who took down Alabama. And hes also the kid with a shirtless mug shot. Its a juicy dilemma, but its one that needs to stop. The offseason is boring. Johnny Football isnt. Edited by Dylan Lysen

doors open for students. Camping groups will be assigned a number and line up in numerical order. Doors open for student tickets two hours before game time. Students who are not campers will line up in a separate line next to the camper line. This line will be admitted to the building once all camping groups have entered. Seats fill up quickly, though, and general admission ticket holders are admitted an hour and thirty minutes before game time. Seating Once a student is in Allen Fieldhouse, there are two options for seating: the north end student section and the south end student section. Both sections are shared with general admission seating. The north end is larger, and spans the the northwest end of the seating. The south end is smaller but features the University pep band. Pep Band The University Pep Band has an extensive arsenal of songs, including Tequila by The Champs, Livin On A Prayer by Bon Jovi, Come On Eileen by Dexys Midnight Runners and, of course, the University fight songs. Newspaper The Kansan has found its way into Jayhawk basketball traditions. During introductions for home and away players, the Kansan is used in two different ways. First, when the away teams players are being announced, fans hold up the newspaper usually a poster that the paper prints on gamedays in the sports section to show their indifference to the opponents players. Secondly, students like to throw ripped up newspaper into the air when Jayhawk players are announced. Fans often build newspaper cones to hold pieces of ripped up newspaper. This takes talent, and will take several games to accomplish on a regular basis. Traditions Of course, it wouldnt be a Kansas Athletics sporting event without the Rock Chalk Chant, which reaches its highest volume in the historic building. Some other interesting traditions during basketball game days are video board presentations during timeouts. Videos that have found their way into the regular rotation include Pop Up Video renditions of a specific Jayhawk player and highlights of a big play followed by Chris Farleys That was awesome line from the film Tommy Boy. During the 2012-13 season, a fan favorite was the Jeff Withey Block Party that featured a discothemed party invitation with Withey and coach Bill Self. But to get the feel of how much tradition the basketball team has to offer, look no further than the pregame video that is played right before the Jayhawk players are announced. The pregame video highlights past player, coaches and events that will live on forever in the hearts of the Jayhawk faithful. Edited by Hayley Jozwiak

Its no secret that Kansas Jayhawk mens basketball is the driving force behind the Universitys national recognition. For students who have not yet witnessed a Jayhawk basketball game in person, there is a lot to learn about a basketball gameday at Allen Fieldhouse.
Lottery and Camping The quickest way to realize that Jayhawk basketball is important to University students is to participate in basketball lottery and camping. The morning after each home game, students flock to Allen Fieldhouse at 6 a.m. to test their luck in drawing the coveted No. 1 spot in line for camping. After lottery, camping starts immediately, but can sometimes be delayed if the campers vote to do so.
A member from each group camps at Allen Fieldhouse from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. until the day of the game. For more information on lottery and camping, read the story on page 36. Entry line On the day of the game, campers will start to line up on the north side of Allen Fieldhouse once camping is concluded about two hours before

bschuster@kansan.com Fall Saturdays in Lawrence bring a different type of madness than during basketball season yet the passion of Jayhawks fans remains the same. Each football gameday is a more relaxed experience. A time to slow down, grill and fill Memorial Stadium with the same energy as Allen Fieldhouse. Those who have never attended a Kansas football game will quickly notice the routines that go with it. Tailgate The Hill The climb up Mt. Oread is a little easier on Saturday. Fans get out on the hill early, setting up tents, grilling and chugging assorted beverages. Even if you dont have a spot to claim for yourself, just walking around the hill and experiencing the different setups can pay dividends because many University programs have areas to come and grab food before heading into the stadium. Kickoff Include Kansas on the list of schools that get rowdy for the opening play.
Blake Schuster
Aside from the escalating Ohh as the Jayhawks kicker gets closer to striking the ball fans have another way of letting their voices be heard. While the university does not condone the practice and has tried to discourage it on several occasions it has been a tradition to shout, Rip his (expletive) head off! once the kick is in the air. Just remember, this is a family event. Pep Band If youre sitting near the north end zone prepare for a grand entrance of blaring horns and rocking drums. The Marching Jayhawks will make its way through the crowd and out onto the field before breaking out into a pregame routine that includes Im A Jayhawk and Sunflower Song. Rock Out With The Players A recent addition by head coach Charlie Weis, after each game the Jayhawks will walk over to the student section and sing the Rock Chalk Chant arm-in-arm with each other. Win or lose the team will face the students they represent and return the respect. Edited by Lauren Armendariz
