CAMPUS
Tough the sorority community
grew this fall with a record num-
ber of women attending fall formal
recruitment, next years women
will have one less chapter to visit.
Te Beta Chi chapter of Sigma
Delta Tau has suspended its op-
erations and will not return until
spring of 2016.
Maggie Young, the Universitys
Panhellenic Association president,
said it is important for all the so-
rorities on campus to be successful
because the goal of Panhellenic is
to ensure the success of all women
who join the greek community.
Its always unfortunate to lose a
part of the Panhellenic communi-
ty, but were hoping the three-year
dormant period will allow SDT to
rejoin the community in 2016 with
a stronger presence than ever be-
fore, Young said in an email.
LEADING THE CHAPTER
THROUGH TOUGH TIMES
Megan Lounds didnt go through
fall formal recruitment. She didnt
even think she wanted to be in a
sorority until her sophomore year
when she hadnt yet found a place
to call home at the University.
Afer attending several infor-
mal recruitment events, like many
women on campus, Lounds found
her place in one of the chapters be-
cause she felt comfortable with the
members.
She pledged herself to Sigma
Delta Tau and it became her home
away from home.
It was my niche in the Panhel-
lenic world, Lounds said. Im re-
ally thankful that I found it.
Lounds is Sigma Delta Taus cur-
rent president and she oversaw the
chapter through making the deci-
sion to suspend operations.
She said it was difcult, but it was
the best thing for the organization
afer it fell short of its recruitment
goals and struggled to grow for the
last few years.
It just didnt work out, which is
upsetting, but Ive kind of learned
to live with it, Lounds said. We
got here and its OK.
HOW THEY GOT HERE
It was no secret, even to me as a
member, that we were the smallest
chapter, Lounds said.
Sigma Delta Tau struggled with
Panhellenic recruitments record
number of women. Sigma Delta
Taus 52 members stood out next
to most other chapters that had
more than 150 members.
However, Lounds said its hard
to pinpoint what went wrong to
bring them to the point of step-
ping back.
She noticed that there was a
misperception of Sigma Delta Tau
and what kind of women it invites
into its organization.
Tough Jewish women founded
the sorority, the rumor that only
Jewish women are accepted is just
not true, Lounds said.
She said she knows there were
other rumors circulating and neg-
ativity that didnt help them with
recruitment, but there wasnt one
specifc thing she could say that
hurt Sigma Delta Taus reputation.
Tey just dont know, Lounds
said. And thats partially on us not
educating about what our chapter
is thats on us.
MAKING THE FINAL DECISION
As the leader of the chapter,
Lounds had to have serious dis-
cussions about Sigma Delta Taus
status and what the best step for-
ward would be.
When the discussions started,
Lounds had to shield her chapter
until they felt a change had to be
made.
Tese are my best friends my
sisters I wanted to tell them as
soon as I could, Lounds said.
Chapter members wrote letters
to the national organization about
the future of the chapter and how
they felt so the decision to suspend
wasnt a shock to its members.
Some women even recommend-
ed it.
Sigma Delta Taus national presi-
dent few to Kansas to let the wom-
en know in person about the fnal
decision.
Te support the women received
from nationals helped the women
cope with the decision, Lounds
said.
Even though we were upset, it
wasnt devastating, Lounds said.
Debbie Snyder, Sigma Delta
Taus executive director at the na-
tional level, said the national orga-
nization was working closely with
the University chapter of Sigma
Delta Tau, but numbers continued
to drop.
Te decision allows the chapter
to have a fresh start when it re-
turns, Snyder said.
We defnitely hope to come back
on campus in 2016 and make a
positive diference in the Greek
community and campus commu-
nity, Snyder said.
Lounds said she understands
that students in and out of Greek
life might not get why the chapter
made this decision, but she knows
its the best decision they couldve
made.
We arent ashamed of suspend-
ing operations, Lounds said. Its
Sigma Delta Tau chapter suspends operations

RELIGION

Having grown up as a part of a
Catholic family and attending a
Catholic school, David Gier knows
all about the religion. He knows
the rules, he went to Mass, he took
communion and was enrolled in
religion classes.
From preschool through
12th grade, Gier, a junior from
Overland Park, went through the
motions and accepted the faith. It
was such a big part of his life, he
didnt ask questions and simply
went along with the opinions of
those around him.
But Gier was never truly
passionate about the religion that
his life revolved around.
I believed what I was being
taught but I just never felt a
connection with it, Gier said.
Still, he followed the religion and
kept his thoughts to himself.
Eventually this lack of connection
transformed into a general feeling
of doubt. In high school he began
questioning what
he had been
taught and wasnt
sure if he believed
it anymore.
Afer taking a
closer look at
Christianity as a
whole, his doubts
mounted and his
belief began to
waver.
It wasnt just an
overnight decision not to believe,
Gier said. It was more of a general
change in the way I view the
world.
Since his family was Catholic,
Gier said he didnt have anyone
to turn to who would understand
his doubts. Instead he began to
form his own opinions about God
and religion and decided it wasnt
something he wanted to believe in.
I felt that there just wasnt
enough there to support the beliefs
I had grown up with, Gier said.
When he went to college, he
found the Society for Open-
Minded Atheists and Agnostics,
where he could discuss his views
with peers who understood where
he was coming from.
SOMA is a group of students who
are non-theistic or have questions
or doubts about their religion. Te
group aims to answer questions
and serve as a community for
atheist and agnostic students.
SOMA was the sort of
community I had been looking
for to discuss my doubts about
religion, Gier said.
Since joining SOMA as a
freshman, Gier has flled many
administrative roles and now
serves as the groups president.
Te appeal of SOMA for Gier
was that you dont have to know
what you believe in when you
come.
Its just a place where students
can talk about their doubts with
religion, Gier said. Tey dont
have to be completely without
religion. We try to help everyone
fnd answers.
While some students like Gier
identify as atheists, meaning they
dont believe there is a God, others
identify as agnostics.
Tough the
two terms are
ofen confused,
a g n o s t i c s
generally dont
c o mp l e t e l y
deny that
there may be a
superior being,
they just chose
not to put faith
into ideas in
which they
dont see a concrete basis.
Amy Seeds, a senior from
Overbrook, comes from a
Christian family but now identifes
as agnostic.
Afer going to church and
Sunday school as a kid, she began
to question her faith in middle
school. Seeds attempted to fnd
out more about God and religion
by testing out diferent Christian
sects but didnt fnd anything to
strengthen her beliefs.
If anything it solidifed my
indiference to the presence of a
superior being, Seeds said of the
experience.
Seeds eventually came to a
realization that religion caused
more problems than it solved.
Seeds thinks that Christian
opposition tends to push people
away from the religion.
In my opinion, organized
religion has a way of causing more
hate and lack of tolerance in the
world, Seeds said.
She may not believe in religion
herself but she doesnt deny that
religion is an important part in
many peoples lives.
I still think faith is something
that is good for a person to have,
Seeds said. Its just not something
I feel that I need for myself.

H
ow do you maintain a
friendship when youre
separated by thousands
of miles? How do you stay close
when youre in a diferent conti-
nent, or a diferent timezone?
Ive seen this from two perspec-
tives now. One of my best friends
from high school is studying in
Buenos Aires, Argentina. And my
sister is studying abroad in Cork,
Ireland.
As Ive experienced, going to
college means leaving a lot of
people behind. But everyone
has those people they are closest
to the ones they really dont
want to lose. When I found out
my longtime friend Jacob was
going to be attending a college in
Argentina, I was ecstatic for him.
It was a tremendous opportunity,
one that he couldnt pass up. Ive
known Jacob since middle school,
and he had been one of my closest
friends throughout high school.
Of course I didnt want him to go.
I was afraid we would get caught
up in other things, and slowly
lose contact.
Te same thing happened with
my sister. I largely based my deci-
sion to go to KU on the fact that
she would be here as well. While
I was in the midst of that, she
was going through the process of
determining where she wanted
to study in the upcoming year.
She chose Cork, a town roughly
an hour away from Dublin. It
had been awhile since my sister
and I had attended the same
school, and I was looking forward
to being around her a majority
of the time. But like Jacob, this
was something she couldnt turn
down.
As ofen happens with things
and people who are always there,
you can easily take your friends
for granted. With the summer
coming to a close, I realized that
I was going to be away from two
people that had a much larger im-
pact on my life than I had initially
realized.
But I knew we would still be
able to connect somehow. We
use iMessage through email, and
every now and then we get to
FaceTime. Tese tools have been
essential in making long-distance
friendships last. Now more than
ever, its simple to share photos
and keep track of friends even if
they are thousands of miles away.
Being far away from someone can
make it difcult to interact and
talk like normal, but technology
has certainly made it easier to
stay close. Having the accessibility
able to talk to them on a daily ba-
sis is something I never thought
day-to-day communication
would be so accessible at frst,
but now its narrowed the gap
between us. And although I wont
be seeing my sister for another
month, and my friend for maybe
another year, I wont be missing
out on anything they are doing.

S
o.whats your story?
Ugh.
Ive been up for at least
three hours practicing responses
to the typical interview questions.
My three biggest weaknesses
are
I want to work for this frm
because.
Im wearing a wool suit, and I
walked 20 minutes to get here.
Its one of the hottest summers in
recent memory. Im sweating like
a sumo wrestler in a sauna. When
I arrive, we shake hands, and I sit
down ready for the barrage of
standard queries. Tat is, until I
hear, Tell me your story.
My story, in truth, is long and
complicated. Its not something I
can just sit down and spit out in
fve minutes. So, for your beneft,
Ive condensed my lifes highlights
and achievements down to a
clean and crisp one page, highly
readable sheet, which I call a r-
sum. Its French, so you know its
fancy. Te things got bullets and
bold letters, containing only the
relevant information so you can
conveniently digest my story.
Nothing has annoyed me more
in the past months than going to
multiple on-campus interviews
to be asked only this one insipid
question: Whats my story? Im 22
years old, and Im in law school.
Im poor, and I need a job, so Ill
do whatever you ask of me. Next
question please.
In all honesty, how much can
you really learn about me with
this question? Its a waste of time
for me, but more so for you,
because nothing happens. I think
interviewers need to reexamine
their goals when using this ques-
tion as the basis of an interview.
Whats your story?
Is it a broad generalization
meant to spark conversation?
If so, it doesnt work. Broad
questions are a good segue to
more specifc question lines and
developed dialogue. But you cant
get a sense of who I am by asking,
Whats your story? any better
than I cant get a sense of who you
are by asking, Whats up? Tere
has to be something more.
Without something more, I cant
mention in passing how I handle
adversity in the ofce, or busi-
ness-relationships among clients
and colleagues. I cant talk about
my strengths as a law student, or
as an employee. I cant demon-
strate how excited I am to work at
this frm with a minutes worth of
anecdotes. And above all, which
really pisses me of, I cant explain
that my only weakness is that
I work too hard. Because its a
clich, and I never got to make it
a clich.
Tis summer, I had an interview
for a small internship that began
with the stereotypical interview
questions. You know, the kind
Yahoo occasionally writes an
article about on what employers
look for in an answer. While they
were most certainly cheesy, they
managed to open a dialogue that
lasted nearly an hour. I got the job
because of this dialogue. If I had
only told him my story, without
any follow-up on his part, the in-
terview mostly likely would have
fallen fat. Instead, we discovered
similarities and shared experienc-
es that connected us. I still work
for him, and our relationship is
less of stif professionals and more
like close colleagues.
And look, I get it. OCIs are the
interviews to determine whether
or not I could make it in an actual
interview. Tere are hundreds of
people to talk to, and there are
only so many hours in a day. But
whats my story? If this singular
question is meant to weed-out
unft candidates, how are you
hoping an ideal candidate will
respond? Telling you my story
hasnt worked thus far, so what
would you prefer to hear? What
nugget of personality, or business
sense, or work ethic or whatever,
are you looking for with this one
question? (Seriously, whats the
secret?)
Tere should be back-and-forth,
an exchange of thoughts, feelings,
and ideas. Youre there to see if
Id be a good ft, right? Ten get
to know me. A good interview
should feel more like a conver-
sation and less like Im pitching
a script. I know Im only in my
mid-20s and Im not entitled to
anything in life, and the job mar-
ket is tough so I should try to sell
myself to you, but if youve only
come to fnd out my story, dont
waste your time. Chances are, Ive
already emailed it to you.

ANIMAL TREATMENT RELATIONSHIPS
I
spent this Tanksgiving with
the animals at the Nanjing
Zoo. It was an odd expe-
rience, as all trips to the zoo
necessarily are, but it was the
closest thing I could think of to
the Macys Day Parade so it
was really my only viable option.
Although I went with other
people, it was cold enough they
are almost not worth mention-
ing. Icy temperatures do a fantas-
tic job of stifing conversation.
Tat said, it was not quite cold
enough to persuade me to aban-
don my original plan. So there
I looked, in cold solidarity with
the animals.
Te Nanjing Hongshan Forest
Zoo could be described as a
basic zoo. It is not very big, but
not small either. It has all the
animals everyone wants to look
at: girafes and tigers and bears.
Tey even had an elephant
from southwest China whose
precarious dance despite being
in its glass-walled indoor facility
seemed to suggest it felt a good
deal colder than myself. Te
monkeys extended their hands
between bars to be shaken and
the pride of the zoo, panda bears
from Sichuan, slept.
Whenever I visit a zoo I feel a
slight burning in my chest a
ping of injustice. Tere is some-
thing I fnd intrinsically wrong
about tearing a powerful bobcat
from its home and relegating
it to a cage for people to look
at, and I say this as no lover of
animals.
I can only wonder about the
mental complex that must
develop inside the mind of an
animal lover who enjoys visiting
a zoo. Yes, it leaves a strong im-
pression to stand close to these
wild beasts; view their muscles
fex behind silky smooth skin
as they pace around their cells.
At the cells that I stood by, there
must have stood at least one
person who tried to dismiss the
knowledge that they were, like
all lovers, essentially killing the
object of their desire.
Would it be better for them
to abstain? Well, this is hard to
say. Where are we to draw the
line? If a zoo is of limits, should
the television programs be of
as well? Te cameras crews and
jeeps must damage the natural
environments, or even worse:
spark the imaginations of others,
leading to the construction of re-
sorts in beautiful faraway lands,
or more zoos.
One more question, if the
animal lover is to abstain from
looking at animals, are they still
a lover of animals? Or is there
for them some joy in looking at
animals as innate of a desire as
hunger or sex?
Te question is admittedly
more complicated in China than
in the United States. With its
massive population, space is a
much more valuable commodity,
one that is not guaranteed. Te
Chinese do not have the luxury
to devote massive swaths of land
to nature preservation, as the
United States does. Imagine how
you would feel being told you
have to live on the street so some
animal could have thousands
of acres to roam about natural-
ly, pulling fsh out of pristine
streams?
Perhaps, then, the Chinese
could argue that the cages are
necessary for the animals. For
without them, the animals
might simply die out. With this
perspective, the Chinese could
even argue that the roughly $3.30
ticket price to enter the Nanjing
Hongshan Forest Zoo was really
a small contribution to the con-
tinued survival of the animals
they loves to look at.
Yet, as I looked into the eyes of
that caged bobcat, lying tiredly in
its fat cement cage with a single
log to serve as a distraction, I
could not quite agree with this
point of view. It seems like an
unresolvable sort of question,
one where each additional ques-
tion only prompts three more. I
suppose that this Tanksgiving
I am thankful I do not have to
fully experience the mental com-
plex of an animal lover trying to
enjoy their trip to the zoo.

Not one thing.
For most away games through-
out the Jayhawk basketball
season, the Kansas Union will be
hosting WATCH PARTIES in the
Traditions area on Level 4. Te
frst game-day party kicked of
on November 12 with the Duke
game, where a huge campus
crowd LOUDLY cheered our
beloved Jayhawks on to victory!
Fans made the most of it
by not only enjoying the free
popcorn and Coke products, but
by bringing in their Za Pizza
and relaxing in the theatre-style
seating. Te Hawk Shop was
also open for those who wanted
to do some additional snacking.
For each watch party, well
lower the big 132 screen a half
hour before the party starts, so
that fans can settle in and take
advantage of any pre-game intel.
Heres the watch party schedule:

Josh Meyer and Matt Hislope
are no strangers to artistic
experimentation, but their
most recent project is out of the
ordinary even for them.
Meyer and Hislope, partners
and owners of theater production
company Rubber Repertory,
began their most recent
experiment in August when
they moved into a house on the
1000 block of New York Street in
Lawrence. Teir plan was to allow
two artists to come live with them
and use the houses large living
room as a studio space to work
on whatever project they want to
work on.
But the house they chose is not
ordinary. Its actually a former
church that was turned into a
house.
Meyer and Hislope named
the pop-up art residency the
Pilot Balloon Church-House
and invited artists that they met
during their 10-year stint in
Austin, Texas, where they were
writing and directing plays.
Some are people we met in
Austin, some are people we met
at KU and some are people we
dont know at all, Meyer said.
We specifcally reached out to
people who are doing things that
had some sort of experimental
bent to them, because thats what
were interested in.
Meyer said that about 70
percent of the visiting artists
were performance oriented,
but the church-house is not
used as a production space,
only a workspace. Hislope said
performance artists beneft from
the residency by practicing in
the studio that was once the
sanctuary of the church.
We have choreographers
coming, Hislope said. Te
sanctuary is still wide open, so its
good to use as a dance studio.
Meyer said that visiting artists
live in the church-house for one
to three weeks and each artist pays
a $50 fee per week. According to
the projects Tumblr website, 74
artists will visit throughout the
year-long lease.
Before moving in, the two
hosted a fundraiser to help ofset
rent costs so they could keep the
price as low as possible for artists.
Meyer and Hislope both work to
pay their own rent.
Both are graduates of the
Universitys theater program;
Meyer graduated in 2001 and
Hislope in 2002. Afer graduation,
the two moved to Austin, Texas,
to start their theater company
that created 12 experimental
plays, one of which Meyer said
took audience participation
to an extreme by physically
touching the audience.
But in May of 2012, Meyer lef
Austin to work as an actor in
Los Angeles as Hislope stayed
behind. Te allure to come
back to Lawrence was enough
to get the two back together,
though. Meyer and Hislope
said that they hoped to use the
studio for themselves to work
on new play productions.
Our goal was to generate a
lot of work this year and then
be able to perform wherever,
Meyer said. We havent really
gotten that far along in that yet.
Just interacting with everyone
who comes feels like its own
project.
Its really easy to just be
entertained by everyone whos
coming, Hislope said.
Visiting artists Olivia Pepper
and Llewellyn Cole, who moved
in Oct. 30, used their time at the
Pilot Balloon Church-House
to work on their alternative
jewelry that was created out of
leather and featured images of
constellations. In the converted
sanctuary studio, they hung a
long tapestry with markings
of several ancient images for
inspiration.
We started out by discussing
how people wear jewelry for a lot
of diferent reasons, but the most
prominent reason, or at least
how they wore it historically,
was because they were indicating
something about themselves as
a person, Pepper said. From
there it just turned into this
whole other world that were sort
of making up as we go along,
which involves all sorts of things
like divine messages from outer
space.
Pepper said they plan to sell
their created jewelry in Austin,
and Pilot Balloon was just one
of the many artist residencies
around the country they planned
to visit. But for the time being,
she said she enjoyed Lawrence
because of its smaller size but also
for its amount of local businesses.
I love the cofee shops and the
book stores, Pepper said and
explained that Lawrences local
cofee shops are what she prefers.
Austin has its fair share of cofee
shops, but a lot of them are kind
of like new. I cant really explain
it, they just seem kind of yuppie.
At the end of the lease next
August, Meyer and Hislope plan
to move on from Lawrence.
Meyer said he will probably move
back to Los Angeles and Hislope
may follow him out there or
move back to Austin. But they
did say they hope Pilot Balloon
doesnt die when they leave town,
they have been asking visiting
artists to think about taking over
and passing the lease on to keep
the art residency alive.
For now, Meyer and Hislope
welcome artists who are
dedicated to working on
experimental art while they enjoy
being back home, even if it is for
just a short period.
Im just loving being here afer
being in Los Angeles, Meyer
said. Here you can say Hey want
to meet at this bar in fve minutes
and walk there and youre both
there, and in LA its like next
week from Tuesday.

Mr. KU competition benets
charities, showcases students
Its no surprise that our beloved
campus is flled with a variety of
students who excel in academics,
athletics, music and art. To
celebrate these students, Her
Campus KU is hosting the frst
annual showcase of hard-working
men who will compete for the title
of Mr. KU.
Contestants must be well
rounded individuals who represent
the University in a positive
light. Ranging from members of
Student Senate to fraternities to
cultural organizations, contestants
showcase their positive leadership
skills, personality, and intellectual
qualities.
Her Campus KU has been
tabling all week to allow students
to vote for their favorite candidate.
Votes are cast with spare change,
and students can vote against
other contestants by putting dollar
bills in their assigned jars. Half
of all the proceeds raised will
be donated to the charity of the
winners choice.
Dillon Davis, a senior contestant
from Topeka, plans to donate his
winnings to the Boys and Girls
Club of Lawrence if he wins.
Over the summer I was as a
camp counselor in Topeka so I
love working with kids, Davis
said. I feel that it would be a great
way to give back to the Lawrence
community that Ive called home
over the last four years.
Davis also spreads his time
between his day job, volunteering,
and various recreations.
Im pretty involved with KU. I
have worked at the Lied Center the
past four years and I was in a class
last semester that worked with
the Willow Domestic Violence
Center. Along with regularly
volunteering for the Big Event I
also have played intramural sports
over my last couple of years here.
Overall, I feel like I would be a
good representative for what KU
is all about, Davis said.
Omar Rana, a sophomore from
Broken Arrow, is also competing,
and hopes to donate to Te Make
A Wish Foundation if he wins.
In our world today, there is
so much focus on the negatives,
and I feel this organization gives
everyone their chance to shine,
Rana said.
While the title of Mr. KU is
an incredible honor, the charity
work that both the candidates and
Her Campus KU have promoted
brings to mind the real meaning
of not only holiday spirit, but the
generosity of others.

Te University and Mizzou
continue their centuries-old rivalry
in a Jazz Border Showdown at the
American Jazz Museum in Kansas
City, Mo., this Saturday, Dec. 7.
Te Universitys Jazz Ensemble
I and MUs Concert Jazz Band
will perform various pieces in
the historic Blue Room for two
concerts at 8 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.
Tickets cost $10.
Its something Ive been thinking
about doing for years, said Dan
Gailey, director of the Universitys
Jazz Ensemble I.
Gailey, who has directed the
ensemble for 24 years, coordinated
with Arthur White, director of Jazz
Studies at Mizzou, to put on the
event. Te two have been friends for
years, a friendliness that represents
attitudes of the bands for the
Showdown. Te Mizzou band will
play two of Gaileys compositions,
while the the University ensemble
will play two of Whites to extend a
feeling of goodwill for the holidays
between rival schools. Gailey will
play as a guest soloist for Mizzou,
and White will do the same for the
University.
Its not really a competition,
Gailey said. What you really can
expect is two really great college big
bands performing a lot of diferent
music.
Each band will play four tunes for
each show. Tese songs will include
recognizable jazz arrangements,
including a challenging
arrangement of Jingle Bells to
create a holiday feel.
Te Universitys Jazz Ensemble
I and Mizzous Concert Jazz Band
both fall under the category of
big band groups. Tey usually
consist of 13-14 horn players, fve
saxophones, four trumpets, four
trombones, as well as piano, guitar,
bass and drums.
Gailey explained that the rivalry
between the University and Mizzou
does not play as large a role in his
students preparation as much as
their own desire to excel.
I think they feel the need, as
individual musicians, to be as good
as they can, he said. I think theyre
looking at it in the right spirit, as
a chance to measure themselves
against another really good college
big band. Were all excited about
doing it for all the right reasons.
Part of the need to perform
their best comes from the prestige
of playing in such a legendary
jazz club. Te Blue Room in the
American Jazz Museum is named
afer the famed 1930s Street Hotel
club in the Historic 18th & Vine
Jazz District in Kansas City. It
honors its historic past through an
exhibit highlighting the countless
musicians who created Kansas
City Jazz, and also showcases some
of the biggest names in jazz today.
Im hoping both bands play
really well, Gailey said. Its a big
opportunity for us.
Tickets can be purchased
by calling the American Jazz
Museum box ofce at (816) 474-
6262 or by visiting the website,
americanjazzmuseum.org.

Tere are only a few weeks lef
in the semester, and students are
spread thin between work, classes
and studying for fnals. Maggie
Boyles, a junior from Les Brouzils,
France, is no exception, but she
adds an additional two to three
hours of acting a day on top of it all.
Boyles is currently taking 15
credit hours, working about 15
hours a week and rehearsing 12
or more hours per week as Rena
deButts, the wife of a novelist, in
the University Teatres upcoming
performance of Te Maderati.
I eradicate everything I do
not need and focus on my goals,
Boyles says. I have no social life.
Boyles has been acting since she
was young, but starting taking it
seriously around the age of 12. She
says that acting is her passion and
obsession. Tis obsession, along
with her own personal drive, is
what keeps Boyles motivated.
I act because I want to inhabit
another person and not be myself,
or rather be myself in a diferent
direction, Boyles says. Te best
part, for me in acting, is probably
having a chance to live and
experience life through anothers
eyes.
Te Maderati is a comedy
about a bunch of art-society types
in New York in the 1980s, Boyles
said. Tey never listen to each
other and they meddle in each
others lives to make themselves
look better.
Te play then leads to a series of
miscommunications when one of
their own, Charlotte, is placed in
a mental hospital. From there, the
information about her whereabouts
is misunderstood, and it begins
spreading that Charlotte is dead.
Te Maderati is open to the
public and will be performed in the
William Inge Teatre in Murphy
Hall. Performances begin this
weekend, Dec. 6 and 7, at 7:30 p.m.
Tere will also be performances
Dec. 8 at 2:30 p.m. and Dec. 10,
11 and 12 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are
$15 for the public, $14 for students/
faculty and $10 for children aged
fve to 18. Tese tickets are on sale
now at www.kutheatre.com.

THEATER
No rest before nals week
for actors in The Maderati
FRANK WEIRICH/KANSAN
Sara Kennedy, left, and Collin Stephens rehearse a scene from The Maderati, a University Theatre play that opens Friday.
Jef Tweedy, Wilco frontman
and former member of the near-
legendary group Uncle Tupelo, is
the epitome of an unlikely rock star.
Aside from rotating through a
carousel of gorgeous, customized
guitars, he lef no room for fair
or pretense of any kind during
Tuesday nights show at the Uptown
Teater in Kansas City, Mo. Dressed
in his signature charcoal-colored-
shirt-and-jeans stage garb, Tweedy
remarked to the crowd, You guys
all paid to see me try.
Tweedys onstage authenticity,
wit and resourcefulness easily
matched his musicianship on the
opening night of his solo tour. Te
prolifc songwriter with a knack for
injecting emotion into his songs via
the higher, reedy range of his voice
played an array of Wilco favorites,
Uncle Tupelo throwbacks and
other projects such as One True
Vine a recent collaboration
with soul singer Mavis Staples of
Te Staple Singers.
And although Tweedy stood
onstage above the seated crowd,
sometimes strumming furiously,
other times plucking a single string
and even managing the impressive
feat of whistling while playing
guitar, he maintained a steady
lunch-break vibe and conversation
with the audience. Possibly the
most memorable part of the night
was his insistent verbal jabbing at a
clap-happy fan near the front row.
A family man himself, Tweedys
parental experience shone through
as he praised the guy for shutting
up, adding that he didnt want to
only give him attention when he
was being bad.
While he claimed to be a bit rusty
kicking of the tour, it was quickly
apparent that Jef Tweedy feeling
rusty with a guitar in his hands
is like Colonel Sanders being a little
fuzzy on what to do with a chicken
leg. Standout songs included Wilco
numbers such as Jesus, Etc. and
Solitaire, and Chinese Apple
from the side-project Loose Fur.
Te encore, however, was when
Tweedy solidifed that his voice
and guitar, the bare bones of
Wilcos sound, can move a crowd
without the help of a rock band.
Te Uncle Tupelo song New
Madrid warmed everyone up for
California Stars, a tune with lyrics
written by Woody Guthrie thats
become a Wilco classic. But the real
highlight was when he unplugged
for the last song in Tupelo favorite
Acuf-Rose, proving that even
microphones and cords are non-
essential pieces of his blue-collar
solo set.
On a night when he was the
biggest act in town not named
Kanye or Kendrick, Tweedy
entertained a crowded Uptown
Teater with more than just music.
A big part of the charm for his and
Wilcos ample fanbase is simply
that hes damn good at what he
does, and couldnt care less whether
anybody tells him about it or not.

Te Honors Program will be un-
der new leadership next semester.
Jonathan Earle, a history profes-
sor involved in the Honors Pro-
gram, takes over the position of
Honors Program director Jan. 1.
Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett, the
current director, is retiring at the
end of this semester.
I think hes going to do a won-
derful job, McCluskey-Fawcett
said. Hes highly enthusiastic and
very well-known in the commu-
nity.
McCluskey-Fawcetts achieve-
ments as Honors Program Direc-
tor include expanding the number
of incoming freshmen accepted to
Honors, more aggressively recruit-
ing high school students, bringing
in more fundraising and increas-
ing communication with Honors
alumni.
Its important, as the fagship in-
stitution, to make sure that we have
a high proportion of high-abili-
ty students, McCluskey-Fawcett
said.
Te Honors Program gives the
same frst-rate education as elite,
private schools at a public uni-
versity for less student loan debt,
Earle said. Te success of Honors
students also makes the University
more appealing to state legislators
and grant-giving organizations.
Its one of those parts of the Uni-
versity that we have to continue
to not just focus on but enhance,
Earle said.
Te Honors Program was de-
signed as mostly a freshman and
sophomore program, but Earle
wants to expand junior and senior
departmental honors.
Right now, every school has de-
partmental honors, Earle said. Its
a very crazy, quilt system. Id like to
streamline that.
Earle wants to add more 300- and
400-level Honors courses.
Earle wants the Honors Program
to encourage Capstone experienc-
es that allow students to engage
in and contribute to their felds of
study.
Finally, Earle wants the Honors
Program to refect reality: many
Honors students are seeking sci-
ence, technology, engineering or
mathematics degrees, and the Pro-
gram needs to accommodate for
these non-humanities majors. He
plans to recruit more STEM and
pre-medicine faculty fellows.
I think pretty much everyones
on the same page that we have to
have more integration between
schools, Earle said.
He plans to achieve these goals by
getting more faculty across campus
involved in the Honors Programs.
Earle will tour individual schools
and meet with deans to design the
best possible learning experience
for Honors students.
His frst semester teaching here
in 1997, Jonathan Earle taught an
Honors section of a history course
covering America through the
Civil War.
Earle was in love with the class.
Te students were every bit as
talented as his previous students
at Princeton University, he said,
but they were more willing to take
risks and do extra work, and less
likely to haggle over grades.
We have some of the best stu-
dents here in the country, Earle
said. Whats important for the
University and the state of Kan-
sas is to do the best job we can for
these really talented students.

History professor named new
director of Honors Program
EMILY DONOVAN
edonovan@kansan.com
not a hush-hush thing that we dont
want to talk about because its hap-
pening to us.
WHATS NEXT?
Stepping back from Greek life for
a few years I think is really import-
ant because we want everyone else
in Panhellenic to succeed, Lounds
said.
Lounds said Sigma Delta Tau
may not be hindering other chap-
ters from succeeding individually,
but their organization needs time
to lose any stigmas it has so it can
move forward and succeed along-
side the 12 other chapters at the
University.
Coming back will allow Sigma
Delta Tau to reignite the excitement
both in its organization and in the
Greek community as a whole.
Itll almost be like having a new
Greek chapter come on campus,
Lounds said of the expected return
in Spring of 2016.
Te women currently in the chap-
ter will become alumnae of Sigma
Delta Tau and have the opportunity
to come back to campus to help re-
install the chapter in 2016.
We have such high hopes for the
future, Lounds said. Well all be
graduated by that time so were ex-
cited to come back and help.
But it will take more than just
time and the alumnae support;
Lounds said the Panhellenic com-
munity will need to pitch in too.
Support has already poured in
from the other sororities and the
Panhellenic board unanimously
approved Sigma Delta Taus return
to campus.
Lounds said support is crucial to
Sigma Delta Taus successful return
and she has no doubt that the so-
rorities will provide that when the
time comes.
No chapter would ever want to be
in this situation so I think were do-
ing our best to bow out gracefully,
Lounds said. I think everyone [in
the Greek community] really re-
spects us and shows their support.
Sigma Delta Tau will return to
campus in the spring and begin a
public relations push to let every-
one know about the chapter and its
return.
It will be an opportunity to rees-
tablish itself, Lounds said.
At a national level, Snyder said the
sorority has started reaching out to
alumnae of that chapter.
It will also continue to work close-
ly with the Universitys Student In-
volvement and Leadership Center
to keep track of Panhellenic recruit-
ment during Sigma Delta Taus ab-
sence in order to plan a successful
return in 2016.
IN THE MEANTIME
Te current members will remain
in the Sigma Delta Tau chapter
house until the end of the academic
year. Ten the house will be rented
out until its return, but arrange-
ments for who will rent the house
next year have not been made yet.
Sigma Delta Taus national board
will spend the time making a plan
for the chapters reinstallation in
2016.
Once a year, national represen-
tatives will meet with Panhellenic
representatives to assess the status
of the Panhellenic community and
Sigma Delta Tau.
Te chapter members hope that
whatever image they have on cam-
pus will be forgotten and future
members will have a clean slate to
move forward with.
Tis means so much to me and
to the rest of our women, Lounds
said. It doesnt change that were
sisters; it doesnt change our rela-
tionship. Its just diferent.

Jonathan Earle, a history professor at the University, will take over the position of Honors Program director starting Jan. 1.
Earle plans to expand the program for juniors and seniors.
I think hes going to do a

wonderful job. Hes highly
enthusiastic and very well-
known in the community.
KATHLEEN MCCLUSKEY-FAWCETT
Current Honors Program director
EVERGLADES NATIONAL
PARK, Fla. Wildlife workers
in boats struggled unsuccessfully
Wednesday to coax nearly four
dozen pilot whales out of dan-
gerous shallow waters in Florida's
Everglades National Park, hoping
to spare them the fate of 10 others
that already had died.
Te workers suspended their
eforts afer dark, but planned
to return Tursday morning to
try again, said Kim Amendola,
spokeswoman for the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Ad-
ministration, which is taking part
in the efort.
Six of the whales were found
dead, and four of the whales had
to be euthanized Wednesday,
said Blair Mase, coordinator for
NOAA's marine mammal strand-
ing network. At least three could
be seen on the beach, out of the
water.
Te whales are stranded in a re-
mote area near Highland Beach,
the western boundary of Ever-
glades National Park and about
20 miles east of where they nor-
mally live. It takes more than an
hour to reach the spot from the
nearest boat ramp and there is no
cellphone service, complicating
rescue eforts.
"We want to set the expectation
low, because the challenges are
very, very difcult," Mase said.
Park spokeswoman Linda Friar
said rescuers were trying to sur-
round the whales, which were in
roughly 3 feet of salt water about
75 feet from shore, and herd them
back to sea.
"Tey are not cooperating," Friar
said.
Workers also tried to nudge the
whales out to sea earlier in the day
with no success.
Te short-fnned pilot whales
typically live in very deep water.
Even if rescuers were able to begin
nudging the 41 remaining whales
out to sea, Mase said they would
encounter a series of sandbars and
patches of shallow water along the
way.
Tis particular whale species is
also known for its close-knit so-
cial groups, meaning if one whale
gets stuck or stays behind, the
others are likely to stay behind or
even beach themselves as well.
"It would be very difcult for the
whales to navigate out on their
own," Mase said.
Federal ofcials were notifed
about the whales Tuesday around
4 p.m. Because of the remote lo-
cation, workers were unable to
access the site before dark. Tey
arrived Wednesday morning and
discovered 45 whales still alive.
"Tere were some that were very
compromised and in very poor
condition," Mase said.
Four were euthanized with sed-
atives, and more could be put
down Tursday if their condition
deteriorates, Mase said. She de-
scribed the remaining whales as
swimming and mobile but said
scientists don't know how long
they have been out of the deep,
colder water they are accustomed
to and could be impacted by sec-
ondary consequences, such as de-
hydration.
"I don't think we have a lot of
time," Mase said.
Necropsies were being done
Wednesday on the deceased
whales. Scientists will look for
disease or other signs to indicate
how whales got stuck in the shal-
low Everglades waters.
As workers tried to coax the
animals to deeper water, at least
one could be seen a few feet from
shore foating upside down with
its head bobbing up and down.
Tree to four more could be seen
on the beach bleeding.
Twenty-two pilot whales became
stranded in Florida's Avalon State
Park in Fort Pierce in 2012. Resi-
dents, state and national ofcials
attempted to rescue them, but
only fve could be saved.
"It's not uncommon," Friar said.
"But it's not something that hap-
pens a lot."
Mase said NOAA was consulting
with experts in diferent counties
with experience in herding whales
to see if there were other options,
but said she was not optimistic.
"Te outlook ultimately does not
look good," she said.

dozens of stranded pilot whales

Kansas experiences first home loss of season against Arkansas
Prosecutor: Sex
investigation of FSU QB over
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. The prosecutor
overseeing the investigation of sexual
assault allegations against Florida
State quarterback Jameis Winston said
Wednesday that it is completed.
State Attorney Willie Meggs has
scheduled a news conference at 2 p.m.
Thursday in his ofce to announce his
ndings. Meggs said investigators have
learned as much as they can about the
December 2012 incident.
We think we have exhausted all inves-
tigative tools, he said.
Winston has led the Seminoles to the
No. 1 ranking, and they will play for a
conference title Saturday, with a shot at
the national crown.
The quarterback also is the leading
candidate for the Heisman, and many
voters are waiting to see whether Win-
ston will be charged with a crime before
casting their ballots. The deadline
for Heisman ballots to be turned in is
Dec. 9.
ESPN has previously reported that DNA
belonging to Winston was found in the
underwear of the accuser. A lawyer
for Winston has suggested that the
star quarterback and the accuser had
consensual sex. But the family of the
victim has accused the 19-year-old of
rape.
Meggs has said he wanted to make
sure prosecutors completed a thorough
investigation before making a nal
decision. He has also said several times
that its up to prosecutors to determine
whether there is a reasonable chance
of conviction.
The fact that Meggs has scheduled
a news conference as opposed to
getting a warrant for Winstons arrest
could be seen as a sign that he will
not le charges.
N
ostalgia is a powerful thing.
Te Kansas City Royals are report-
edly front-runners for free-agent
Carlos Beltran. Te Royals are considered
the mystery team that ofered the 36-year-
old outfelder three years for $48 million, ac-
cording to Buster Olney of ESPN.com.
Signing Beltran to that contract would be a
grave mistakeeven if Royals fans are clam-
oring for his return. Te signing might fll
seats at Kaufmann, and theres no doubting
his talent, but Royals management and fans
will regret signing the 16-year veteran for
$16 million per year.
Te signing will hamstring the Royals from
improving its team with the playofs within
reach.
Te signing looks great at a glance: an old
fan favorite who hit a combined 56 home
runs and 181 RBIs his last two years in St.
Louis. He would upgrade the weak right
feld for the Royals.
Unfortunately, age is a cruel mistress to
any athlete. Beltran will be 37 shortly afer
opening day and has logged more than 2,000
games in his career. It wouldnt be wise to
rely on Beltran to start in right feld for three
years.
He had knee surgery three years ago and
although hes been healthy since, the Royals
are gambling big money that he will remain
that way as he ages.
Beltran would need to platoon time be-
tween right feld and designated hitter. Hell
certainly see increasing time at DH through-
out the contract as he approaches 40-years-
old.
Te Royals already have a DH in Billy But-
ler. Butler is nine years younger than Beltran
and is scheduled to make $6 million less this
season than Beltrans reported yearly ofer.
Signing Beltran would incline the Royals
to trade Butler for salary reasons, according
to various outlets. At best, this leaves them
with an aging, expensive DH who can play
outfeld a few times a week.
Te Royals cant aford to lose an expen-
sive gamble in a critical time. Te playofs
are within reach and theyre a few
pieces away from doing so. If Bel-
tran doesnt produce, his contract
will disrupt the Royals future free
agency opportunities.
If the Royals are intent on
spending big to upgrade their
right feld, there are comparable
options in this free agent class
with better numbers.
Free agent Curtis Granderson
could fetch a similar contract to the Royals
ofer to Beltran, according to HardBallTalk.
com. Granderson is 33 years old and has
spent increasing time in the corner outfeld
positions. He hit more than 40 home runs
and more than 100 RBI in 2011 and 2012.
Te Royals would have an elite power hit-
terif Granderson can rebound from an in-
jury-riddled 2013 season. Hes never played
less than 130 games in a full season until last
season, when he played 61 games.
Also available for a similar price is right
felder Nelson Cruz. He was suspended 50
games last year for his involvement in the
Biogenesis scandal, but still fnished the
year with 27 home runs
and 76 RBI. His career
.294/.356/.556 batting line is
slightly better than Beltrans
career .283/.359/.496 line. Hes
also three years younger than
Beltran.
As in life, sometimes nostalgia
should remain just thata mem-
ory. Beltran was electrifying while
playing for the Royals in the early
2000s. Watching Beltrans combination of
power and speed was the only reason to buy
tickets to Kaufmann Stadium in those days.
Almost 10 years later, hes too old to rely
on every day in the outfeld. Te Royals can
sign an everyday right felder with better po-
tential at roughly the same cost and years as
their ofer to Beltran.
Royals fans, its time to move on. Teres a
brighter future ahead without Beltran.

Immediately after Kansas captured
third place in the Battle 4 Atlantis,
coach Bill Self said in a television
interview that he thought the Jay-
hawks would become a team in the
Bahamas but regressed instead.
Fortunately (or unfortunately) Kan-
sas still has many tough opponents
remaining in the non-conference
season including Colorado. Theres
plenty of time for this squad to
become a team.

Joel Embiid

Its amazing how a trip to the Baha-
mas turned Embiid into the NBAs
newest number one pick. Sarcasm
aside, Stan Van Gundy did say a
scout texted his praise of Embiid
during the Battle 4 Atlantis. In
three games during the tournament
Embiid scored 29 points with 17
rebounds and 10 blocks off the
bench. Clearly hes developing at a
pretty rapid pace.

What type of Kansas team will
we see on Saturday?
Its been more than a week since
the Jayhawks were upset by Villano-
va and nished third in the Battle
4 Atlantis. In that tournament the
Jayhawks looked ,well, as if they
were on vacation. Will playing back
in the States bring back the Kansas
team we saw before Thanksgiving?

Joel Embiid has shot better than
50 percent in six of Kansas seven
games this season. The only time
he didnt accomplish the feat was
against Duke.

Kansas is able to roll over Colorado.
With a tough test against Florida
in Gainesville on Tuesday, the
Jayhawks will need to prove their
loss to Villanova was a uke and
show that they were able to grow
from it. Last year Kansas routed
the Buffaloes 90-54 in Lawrence to
prove the Jayhawks were for real.
They wont need to duplicate that
feat this year, but coming close to
it would be a big step in the right
direction.

Colorado will be looking for revenge
after losing 90-54 to the Jayhawks
in Allen Fieldhouse a year ago. After
a season-opening loss to Baylor,
the Buffaloes have won eight in
a row and are coming off a road
win against in-state rival Colorado
State. They return four starters
from last season and are preseason
picks to nish third-place in the
Pac 12, just one point behind
second-place UCLA.

Spencer Dinwiddle
The 6-foot-6 junior guard has
reached double-digits in all but one
game this season and has passed
the 20-point mark in two of his last
four games. He has attempted 10
or more free throws four times this
season.

How will Colorado fare in its
second big test of the season?
In their only game against a ranked
team this season, the Buffaloes
fell short against Baylor 72-60.
Colorado, who is receiving votes in
the Associated Press poll, will need
a win against a quality opponent to
catapult into the Top 25.

Colorados seed in the NCAA Tourna-
ment last season

The Jayhawks cant score. After
recording at least 80 points in each
of its rst ve games, Kansas has
scored 63 and 67 in its last two.
Three-point shooting has been a
factor as the Jayhawks have shot
just 23 percent from long-range.
STARTERS

Naadir Tharpe, Guard
Tharpe has the edge in experience over most of his team-
mates, but lately he has not been the most productive point
guard for the Jayhawks. Frank Mason has shined in his role
off the bench the last few games, but thats not to say that
Tharpes spot in the starting lineup is in danger. He did dish
out 10 assists against Iona and scored 11 points against
UTEP.

Wayne Selden Jr., Guard
Its fair to expect more out of Selden, but recently weve liked
what weve seen. Against UTEP Selden ignited the Jayhawks
with 14 points (6-9 from the eld) and six rebounds. Still,
Selden hasnt been able to put together consistent perfor-
mances. Every notable game for him this season has been
followed by a weaker outing.

Andrew Wiggins, Guard
We still havent seen the best of Wiggins and thats ok. In
fact, it might be the best news about the freshman yet. Even
though hes averaging 14.3 points and 5.6 rebounds per game
its clear his potential is just starting to show on the college
level. Forget the NBA mock drafts and just let the kid learn for
now. By conference play we should have a good idea of whats
acceptable to expect from him.

Perry Ellis, Forward

There isnt much concern for Kansas fans when Ellis touches
the ball. You might even say its calming. Ellis has been the
Jayhawks rock so far, averaging 15 points per game. His
ability to nish around the rim has given Kansas a safe bet in
the paint for another season. Its ok to be excited about what
Ellis brings to the program.
Tarik Black, Forward

It seems theres a trend with the senior transfer, although its
nothing he should be proud of. Just about every game sees
Black pick up the rst foul call for Kansas. More often he
heads to the bench with foul trouble by the rst media time-
out. Even more unfortunate, hes shown the ability to be both
graceful and commanding with ball. When hes in the game,
and not fouling, theres no question he helps the Jayhawks.

STARTERS

Wesley Gordon, Forward
The 6-foot-9 redshirt freshman scored just one point against
Colorado State to go along with eight rebounds and three
turnovers. While not a scoring threat, Gordon is a steady
rebounder and has blocked two or more shots in ve games
this season.

Xavier Johnson, Forward
Johnson struggled with foul trouble against Colorado State
as he went scoreless and committed three turnovers. The
undersized big man isnt afraid to shoot from three and went
3-4 from long-range against Harvard. He has attempted a
three-pointer in every game hes played this season.

Josh Scott, Forward
Has three double-doubles on the season and leads the team
in rebounding with almost nine per game. Scott is 82 percent
from the free throw line so far this season, making 42 of his
51 attempts.

Askia Booker, Guard

Booker went 0-6 from three-point range against Colorado
State. He ranks third on the team averaging 11 points a game
but also leads the team with 19 total turnovers this season.

Spencer Dinwiddie, Guard

Dinwiddie delivered an impressive performance against
Colorado State with 28 points on a perfect 11-11 from the
free throw line. He led the Buffaloes in scoring last season
averaging more than 15 points per game and has continued
that scoring pace this season.

Jayhawks hope for repeat victory against Buffaloes
Last years matchup against
Colorado at Allen Fieldhouse
was the frst true test for the
Kansas Jayhawks aside from
the Champions Classic loss to
Michigan State.
Against the Bufaloes, the
Jayhawks steamrolled their way to
a 90-54 victory in Lawrence. Tis
years meeting in Boulder might
have the same importance afer
Kansas dropped an ugly one to
Villanova in the Battle 4 Atlantis.
Te tournament exposed some
now-obvious faws with this young
group of Jayhawks. But how much
can you learn about a team afer
seven games?
Well, recent history might show
some trends.

Self over the last three seasons:
Record: 5-2
Points per game: 73.14

WANT SPORTS UPDATE ALL DAY LONG?
Tis marks the 2013 recap of the
Kansas Jayhawks football season
where Kansas tripled its win total
from just one season ago and Char-
lie Weis transition year is now
over and will respectively return
for his third year.
MVP:
Its not pointing to a bright future
when you can count the options
for this selection on one hand. But
without James Sims gashing of
West Virginia, the daunting streak
would be nailed to Charlie Weis
resume for good and the talks of
him being ousted by another coach
is delayed for one more season.
But Sims efort was stunning and
while he struggled behind a most-
ly makeshif ofensive line, he still
performed valiantly for a Jayhawk
football player these days. He fn-
ished third all-time in Kansas Jay-
hawk rushing yards and grinded
through some uncharacteristic
performances. Despite the jigsaw
puzzle that Weis failed to put to-
gether on ofense, Sims thrived as
best as he possibly could.

LVP:
Pointing to one player is unfair.
Its really the ofense in general,
which was a colossal disappoint-
ment afer high hopes for the likes
of Rodriguez Coleman and Justin
McCay. Te hodge-podge ofensive
line was in shambles the whole sea-
son and both Jake Heaps and Mon-
tell Cozart never could gain any
traction for the ofense. Tis isnt
going to be an easy fx and it will
make or break Charlie Weis in his
third season.

Highlight of the season:
Breaking the streak will forever
be embedded in the scant mem-
ories of the 2013 season. Beating
West Virginia gave at least some
faint hope for the program moving
forward, even with the abundant
blemishes that occurred during the
season. Tey dominated a Big 12
opponent and, while it may seem
simple minded, competing and
thoroughly beating an opponent in
the Big 12 is at least not a negative
sign.

Lowpoint of the season:
A week afer riding an emotional
high coming of the WVU win, it
was essentially torn apart 34-0 by
Iowa State in Ames and got crushed
in every aspect. Not only was it a
disheartening loss, the skepticism
also regained its course for Charlie
Weis and company.

Question Marks:
Is the ofense going to get better?
Te ofense isnt a few players away
from being remotely competent.
Its going to take signifcantly more
than that. Te receivers and ofen-
sive line have to get better before
anything will change, before we
can even judge the quarterback
play, and thats a little worrisome.
Te positive is that with one more
season under Weis belt, the system
could possibly pay dividends for
next season. Te ofense afected
how people judged the defense, as
the ofense did a tremendous dis-
service to the defense by keeping
them on the feld for long periods
of time. Te defensive unit was
probably a little better than adver-
tised.
Coaching:
Charlie Weis didnt impede the
process by any means, but he didnt
do it any favors either. Te receivers
he brought in that were supposed
to shine faltered once they hit the
feld, which includes Rodriguez
Coleman and Josh Ford to name a
few. Te in-game decisions didnt
necessarily cause any losses, but
there were some low moments in-
cluding the botched fake punt that
Kansas is now infamous for. He
kept the games a little closer in the
last year and had a stretch where
they won the frst quarter for three
Big 12 games in a row. Whether its
fair or not, Weis deserves a third
year considering the remnants he
took over.
Final Verdict of the Season:
While the season probably wasnt
a success, now comes the question
of whether one of the three quar-
terbacks Jake Heaps, Montell
Cozart, T.J. Millweard - can play
competently for an entire season.
Te quarterback play failed mis-
erably as did everything around
it and it cant happen next year.
Te defense developed some core
players that will play an imperative
role for next season, and the sec-
ondarys ceiling is on the verge of
bursting through. Tis season was
about transitioning into that next
year and the road was extremely
shaky. Te pressure will continue
to mount on Weis heading into the
2014 season.

FINAL NUMBERS
Ross scores 20, leading Ohio
State to beat Maryland 76-60
NCAA BASKETBALL
ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBUS, Ohio LaQuin-
ton Ross scored 17 of his 20
points in the frst half, hitting his
frst four 3-pointers, to lead No. 5
Ohio State to an early lead and a
76-60 victory over Maryland on
Wednesday night in the ACC/Big
Ten Challenge.
Sam Tompson added 14 points,
including four rim-rattling dunks,
and Lenzelle Smith Jr. had 12.
Aaron Craf created havoc on
defense and chipped in with 10
points as the Buckeyes (7-0) con-
trolled the game at both ends.
Ex-Xavier guard Dez Wells
had 19 points, former Michigan
swingman Evan Smotrycz scored
15 and Charles Mitchell added
12 points and 11 rebounds for
Maryland (5-3), which had won
four in a row afer losing two of
its frst three.
Tis is Maryland's last ACC/
Big Ten Challenge well, at least
as an ACC team. Next year, the
Terrapins join the Buckeyes in the
new 14-team Big Ten.
Down by 17 at halfime, Mary-
land stayed within shouting range
of the Buckeyes for part of the
second half before Ohio State
pulled away behind a 9-0 burst
that pushed the lead to 70-45 with
just over 6 minutes lef.
Te Terrapins have lost their
last 13 road games against ranked
opponents, while Ohio State
has won its last 73 home games
against unranked teams.
Both teams were coming of
their best ofensive games of the
season. Maryland shot 62 percent
from the feld and had a sea-
son-best 26 assists, including six
from freshman Roddy Peters, in
an 89-62 win over Morgan State
on Friday. Te Buckeyes shot 69
percent sixth-best in school
history in a 99-64 win over
North Florida on Saturday.
Continuing that strong shooting,
the Buckeyes made 60 percent of
their shots from the feld in the
opening half Wednesday while
building a 43-26 lead.
When they needed a bucket,
they got it. When the Terrapins
strung together a couple of bas-
kets, the Buckeyes responded de-
fensively and slammed the door.
Ross was the diference early,
making those frst four shots from
behind the arc. Afer Maryland
became more aware of him on the
perimeter, Tompson scored on
two high-fying, alley-oop dunks
that shook the arena.
Behind Ross' 12 points, the
Buckeyes broke out to an 18-9
lead.
Te Terrapins regrouped to trade
baskets and pull to 27-20 before
Tompson had fve points and
Ross the other three in an 8-0
run.
Hanging onto a 35-26 lead head-
ing into the fnal 90 seconds of
the half, Ohio State ran of eight
more points in a row.
Craf, who had three steals and
three assists in the opening 20
minutes, stole the ball in a scrum
and passed out of it while on the
foor in the fnal seconds. Tomp-
son got the ball, spun in the lane
on a breakaway and then banked
in a layup just as the buzzer
sounded.
Te Buckeyes improved to 7-6 in
the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. Tey
had won four in a row until blow-
ing a big frst-half lead to lose at
No. 2 Duke 73-68 a year ago.
It was the frst meeting between
the teams since 1985. Ohio State
is 4-2 in the series, winning four
of the last fve.
Maryland came in with 10 wins
in the Challenge, including win-
ning four of fve on the road. Te
Terrapins won at Northwestern a
year ago.
Te crowd booed loud and long
early in the second half when
during a "celebrity look-a-likes"
fan-cam segment, an Ohio State
booster was shown who looked
a lot like the football coach at
archrival Michigan, Brady Hoke.
Te Buckeyes football team plays
Michigan State for the Big Ten
title on Saturday.

Turnovers, personal fouls plague Kansas
BRENT BURFORD/KANSAN
Junior forward Chelsea Gardner waits for a rebound during the Wednesday night game against Arkansas. The Jayhawks lost 64-53.
STELLA LIANG
sliang@kansan.com
CeCe Harper shined in a losing
efort by the Kansas (4-4) womens
basketball team against Arkansas
(9-0). Harper continually slashed
toward the basket for layups,
fnishing with 19 points and 7
assists, both team highs, in the 53-
64 loss.
Kansas came in with three
losses in its last four games, all on
neutral courts or on the road. Te
team returned home, where it was
previously undefeated, but that
streak did not carry on.
Afer a promising start to the
second half where the Jayhawks and
Razorbacks traded the lead, Kansas
couldnt cut down on mistakes and
Arkansas capitalized. Te Jayhawks
committed a total of 22 turnovers
and 20 personal fouls. In one
stretch in the middle of the second
half, while the game was close, the
Jayhawks committed back-to-back
turnovers. Soon afer, they had a
shot blocked and were called for a
shot-clock violation.
Its not forty minutes of
toughness, but there are moments
that defne, Henrickson said.
Weve had moments, and we have
not taken care of them.
Last season, the team had room for
error because it had its playmakers.
Now, there is less. Henrickson said
the responsibility falls solely on the
upperclassmen.
Its those kids that are coming
back, your juniors and your seniors
that have got to play better, she
said. Anything you get out of a
freshman is gravy.
Te one player that is stepping up
right now is Harper. Harper took on
much of the burden of scoring and
attacking the basket, while running
the ofense from the point guard
position. Te previous starting
point guard, sophomore Lamaria
Cole was not on Henricksons
good side afer coming in for
two minutes and committing a
turnover. Henrickson said Coles
attitude toward that mistake was
worse than the turnover, and Cole
did not return.
While taking on a larger role on
the court, Harper is stepping up
to the challenge and taking the
responsibilities that are falling on
to her.
Honestly, I dont even think
about it, Harper said. Im just
trying to do whatever the team
needs me to do at any time.
Te Jayhawks were down for
much of the frst half, but cut the
lead down to one at halfime. Afer
trading buckets to start the second
half, the Jayhawks saw themselves
down by eight points with about 10
minutes to play.
Kansas did start to make a
comeback late in the game,
however. Afer junior Natalie
Knight hit a two-point jumper with
four minutes to play, the lead was
cut to fve. About a minute later,
junior Chelsea Gardner made a
bucket to get within three, but that
was as close as Kansas would get.
Gardner fnished with 14 points
and 7 rebounds, but was limited
due to foul trouble.
Te Razorbacks were led by
senior forward Keira Peak, who
scored 20 points and 9-16 shooting.
Arkansas had a balanced scoring
night, with three other players
scoring in double digits. Freshman
guard Jessica Jackson had 15, junior
guard Calli Berna had 14 and junior
forward Jhasmin Bowen had 10.
Arkansas was held below their
scoring average of 76.4 points a
game. Previously, the team has
been outscoring its opponents by
an average of 35.9 points per game,
and leads the nation in scoring
defense.
On the Kansas end, the Jayhawks
have some issues concerning
fundamentals and roles that need
to be fgured out.
End of the day, youve got
to do your job, and weve got
too many kids not doing their
job, Henrickson said. Its a
responsibility. You cant rationalize
it. You cant justify it. You just have
to do your job.
WOMENS BASKETBALL
Afer losing two-of-three in the
Paradise Jam tournament in the
U.S Virgin Islands, the Jayhawk
womens basketball team needed
a win against an Arkansas team
that leads the country in scoring
defense and is third in feld goal
percentage.
Te Razorbacks (9-0) lived up to
their billing defensively, defeating
the Jayhawks 62-53 in Allen
Fieldhouse Wednesday night.
Kansas (4-4) shot only 41 percent
from the feld and was held 12
points below their season average
in scoring.
Te Jayhawks also had 22
turnovers, fve more than their
season average. Coach Bonnie
Henrickson said some were
mental errors by the team, but
most were caused by Arkansas
stingy on-ball defense.
How many times did we just
throw it to another guy in a red
jersey? Tats just focus and
concentration, and we have got to
be better, Henrickson said.
Kansas took a 3-2 lead at the
17:37 mark in the frst half, but
didnt have one again until a 30-
29 lead with under a minute lef
in the half. Te Razorbacks made
two free throws to lead 31-30 at
the half.
In the second half however, the
Jayhawks could not grasp the lead.
Afer senior guard CeCe Harper
scored a putback layup to make
it 43-41 Arkansas, the Jayhawks
had a scoring drought of over four
minutes, not getting a basket until
senior guard Markisha Hawkins
scored with 8:08 remaining in the
second half. Kansas would get no
closer than three points the rest of
the game.
Youve got to do your job, and
we have got too many kids not
doing their jobs, Henrickson said.
Along with the ofensive
struggles, the Jayhawks had
trouble on defense containing the
Razorbacks senior standout Keira
Peak. Peak scored 20 points in the
game, and her defensive pressure
hounded the Jayhawks throughout
the night.
We have to defend and rebound
early and ofen and be solid on that
end of the foor while we develop
an ofensive fow and rhythm and
timing, and we have not done
that, Henrickson said.
Te Jayhawks one bright spot
on the night was senior guard
CeCe Harper, who tallied 19
points, seven assists and fve
steals to lead the team in all
categories. Henrickson said
Harper continuously tried to
push the pace of the game and be
aggressive, and that more players
need to be doing the same.
Shes trying to initiate some
ofense and drive it and the rest of
us look like were stuck in the mud
a little bit, Henrickson said.
Harper kept the Jayhawks close
late into the game, with multiple
coast-to-coast layups and steals.
Harper said she wants to be an
example for the younger players on
the team and keep them positive
during this rough stretch of games
the Jayhawks have had and help
them realize that everyone needs
to contribute for the team to be
successful.
We all need to get experience
from game-to-game and just
understand that we all have to do
more, Harper said. It cant just be
two or three players, it needs to be
everyone in a team efort.
Te Jayhawks will look to move
back above the .500 mark on
Sunday as they take on Texas
Southern at 2 p.m. in Allen
Fieldhouse.

No. 14 Villanova remains perfect, tops Penn 77-54
ASSOCIATED PRESS
VILLANOVA, Pa. Villanova
returned from the Bahamas with
three wins, a trophy and a national
ranking.
Te Wildcats could have used an
extended stay on the island.
Darrun Hilliard scored 19 points
and No. 14 Villanova overcame a
7:29 scoreless stretch to open the
second half in beating Penn 77-54
on Wednesday night.
Te Wildcats shot only 26 percent
afer halfime and needed 3-point
sprees to open and close the game
to put away pesky Penn.
I dont think the Bahamas really
gave us a big head, Hilliard said,
but you cant look past anybody.
James Bell scored 14 points,
JayVaughn Pinkston added 13 and
Villanova (8-0) won its frst game
as a ranked team in almost two
years.
Te Wildcats catapulted from
unranked to 14th this week, the frst
time they cracked the Top 25 since
they were No. 19 in the Feb. 28,
2011, poll. Within a span of about
24 hours, Villanova defeated No. 2
Kansas and No. 23 Iowa to win the
Battle 4 Atlantis last weekend.
With a weaker team on the
schedule, Villanova beat the
Quakers for the 11th straight time.
As the perfect start and high-
profle wins thrust the Wildcats
into the national spotlight, their
return home was greeted as if they
advanced to the Sweet Sixteen. Tey
had fun reminders Wednesday
night from their weekend in the
Bahamas, including a highlight
video of every clutch shot that won
them the championship, and then a
trophy presentation at halfime.
I like being ranked, I really do,
coach Jay Wright said. Its great
for the fans, great for Philadelphia
basketball. Nothing bad about it.
Te Wildcats dominated so
much in the frst half that it hardly
mattered they didnt score their
frst point of the second until the
12:31 mark. Even with the drought
that saw them miss 15 of their frst
16 from the foor, Penn couldnt cut
the gap under double digits.
Penn fnally made it a nine-point
game with 10 minutes lef. Hilliard
scored Villanovas frst feld goal
with 9:54 to go, then made one of
two free throws of a turnover to
make it 53-41. Te Wildcats missed
14 of their frst 15 shots in the
second half, yet still led by nine.
Kris Jenkins hit Villanovas ninth
3-pointer to give the ofense a
needed boost. Tat stretched the
lead to 15, and the Wildcats closed
it out for their ffh home win.
Weve got some older guys that,
when they want to turn it on, can
turn it on, Wright said. I think
thats what happened. Tats not a
good plan for success.
Miles Jackson-Cartwright led
Penn (2-5) with 17 points and
Darien Nelson-Henry had 12.
I thought our guys played with
energy and efort, Penn coach
Jerome Allen said. Whether
they always played smart or not,
its a diferent story. But at least I
thought they competed. But its
my responsibility to get these guys
to, not just compete, but expect to
win.
Villanova struggled shooting in
its fnal two tournament games
on Paradise Island, including a 39
percent efort against the Jayhawks.
Ryan Arcidiacono bailed out the
Wildcats in that one with a winning
3-pointer, but he missed his frst
eight 3-point attempts against the
Quakers.
Penn got a 20-minute crash course
in just what made the Wildcats so
successful on the island.
Hilliard and Bell, the tournament
MVP, opened the game with 3s
and Josh Hart nailed one for a 17-6
lead. Dylan Ennis made a steal at
halfcourt, then was pummeled by
Penns Julian Harrell on the drive
to the basket. Ennis made one of
two free throws, then sank another
3-pointer on the possession for a
24-8 lead.
Jenkins joined in the 3-point fun,
helping Villanova get of to a 7-of-
15 start from outside the arc and a
29-9 lead.
Te Wildcats had nine assists
on their frst nine baskets and
kept the Ivy League Quakers from
generating any ofense.
Ten Jackson-Cartwright turned
his 3-point game into a pop-a-shot
contest. Te 6-foot-3 guard nailed
four 3s in a matter of minutes to
slice the gap to 35-24.
I was just trying to get a look,
Jackson-Cartwright said. I wasnt
fnishing at the rim. I lef some
points out there. I got an open look,
so I was just going to let it fy.
Te Wildcats held of Jackson-
Cartwrights surge and used a huge
advantage at the free throw line (14
of 17 to 1 of 3) to lead 46-28 at the
break.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
