would give priority enrollment to students at the University who are also parents. Senate executives have a meeting with Hilltop Child De- velopment Center this Turs- day, which will be the last step before taking the idea to the registrars ofce. If implemented, the Univer- sity would be the frst in the Big 12 to ofer this option to student-parents. Senators have been doing research into initia- tives like this at other schools and have only found a small amount of smaller colleges. No large state schools have done this yet and the University would be on the forefront of this policy. Morgan Said, student body president, said many parents at the University have hectic schedules and this would make one piece a little easier. I think parenting alone is probably the hardest job the in world so to pair that with school and in most cases a job is such a tough balancing act and many students have reached out to me since we started this, indicating their ex- citement about this, Said said. Jeremy Fite, executive direc- tor of Hilltop Child Develop- ment Center, said he is excited about the initiative and said it help parents graduate as soon as possible. It would be nice to have our parents get priority enrollment because I think it keeps them motivated and get them en- rolled in classes quicker, Fite said. Te easier you make it on parents the more likely they are to graduate, so by providing priority enrollment for classes, plus we ofer child care, we are trying to be as convenient as possible to parents to increase the likelihood they will fnish their degree. Te policy would help allevi- ate stress many student-parents feel when organizing class and child care schedules each se- mester. Life happens, especially when you have children, so you want to get done as quickly as possible, Fite said. Said said the decision to work on this came this summer while working on platforms for non-traditional students at the University. She said this was a great frst step, but that the of- fce hopes to continue to work with smaller groups of non-tra- ditional students to help meet their needs on campus. No group is too small (for us) to really work to change their four years here and thats our goal, Said said.

Is someone with you? Can you come in? Tey did not know it yet, but their world was about to drastically change. Te Reeves oldest son, KU sophomore Adam Reeves, said the whole family was worried following the phone call on that otherwise ordinary day. Once Angel and Gregory came home, they sat all of their children down to give them the news. Angel had been diagnosed with breast cancer. It was a shif in gravity kind of feeling, Adam said. From that point on, everything changed priority wise and the way the world was going to work until mom was better. Just seven weeks before, An- gel had given birth to her sixth child, a baby girl. Afer the pregnancy, Angel developed a golf ball-sized lump in her breast. A couple weeks before Christmas, Angel had the lump removed, being told the lump was not cancerous. Te doctors were wrong. [My daughter] came into the world in a hurry and started us on this crazy journey, Angel said. Te Reeves contacted the University of Kansas Hospital for a second opinion and were told that Angels cancer was tri- ple negative, a more aggressive form of breast cancer. Te hos- pital insisted Angel begin che- motherapy treatment as soon as possible. Her family and doctors con- vinced her to begin treatment. But that did not stop Angel. Even on treatment days, Angel continued to come home to look afer her kids, Adam said. Whether she really felt like it or not, thats just her personal- ity, Adam said. To be incred- ibly strong and having these issues in all honesty highlighted it to all of us how hard she was going to work. When she could, Angel searched for scholarship op- portunities for Adam. Adam said afer fnding out about his mothers diagnosis, she said something positive might come out of it for him. It didnt take long for her prediction to come true, as Adam was awarded the Ulman Cancer Foundation for Young Adults Scholarship in 2013. Its exactly like her. Instead of worrying about herself and be- ing mopey about it, shes going to make some positive out of it, Adam said. As a mom and homemaker, Angel takes pride in supporting and taking care of her family. She always got up in the morn- ings and took care of her kids, continuing even during treat- ments. One of Angels methods for coping with treatment was to make small goals for herself every day, like making sure all the beds were made. We just tried to keep things normal as possible for every- body because I didnt want them to see any huge changes or for it to afect them negative- ly, Angel said. I wanted them to see that it could be OK and they didnt have to worry about things. On normal days, Angels hus- band, Gregory, would take the kids to school, which allowed Angel to sleep while her baby did. Just 12 weeks into her new- borns life, Angel could not lif or carry her. Tat was really hard, Angel said. We had this new baby and I felt like I couldnt do much with her. Angel said Adam helped with the kids and took them wher- ever they needed to be. Tis responsibility was a big one, but he knew he had to carry it for his mother. It was that frst feeling I ever had that I can do this no mat- ter what because I need to do it for someone I love. It was a very diferent leadership feel- ing [than] Ive ever had before, Adam said. Angel also struggled with her treatment. Afer completing several rounds of chemothera- py, Angel began to lose her hair. Te transition was difcult for both Angel and Adam. Adam said he remembers the day she cut it of and began wearing wigs. Afer that point, Angel never saw herself without a wig on. Shed close her eyes to put on the wig and shed never see her- self bald, Adam said. It was a lot of work to make her realize it was OK and she was still beau- tiful and it didnt matter what she looked like at that point in time. On not-so-normal days, Adam said it was hard to not let his emotions get the best of him. In 2013, the family trav- eled to Lawrence in preparation for Adams freshman year. An- gel received chemo the day be- fore and the days activities took a toll on her body. She passed out at one point during the day, Adam said. I remember feeling really bad because I felt like it was my fault. Just being there and being able to be strong for her when she was not feeling herself and not letting my emotion mess with that so that I could be strong for her, Adam said. Its a sobering experience to say the least.

NATIONAL STATS: One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. (nationalbreastcan- cer.org) Each year it is estimated that over 220,000 women in the United States, of all ages, will be diagnosed with breast cancer 40,000 of them will die. (nationalbreastcancer.org) 2,150 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer and approximately 40 will die each year. (national- breastcancer.org) Death rates from breast cancer have been declining since 1990. (nationalbreastcancer.org) PREVENTATIVE CARE: Regular mammography screen- ings help catch most breast cancer cases at an early stage. (Susan G. Koman Foundation) A mammogram isnt something a woman needs to worry about until shes 40, unless shes having some other kind of symptom or notice something is different. Dr. Jenny McKee, education program coordinator at Watkins Memorial Health Center IN LAWRENCE: In Lawrence, the only place to get a mammogram done is at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. Or they also have some satellite ra- diology units in Lawrence as well. But we dont do mammograms at Watkins. Dr. Douglas DeChairo, direc- tor of Student Health Services SELF EXAMS Many women nd out they have breast cancer because they detect something themselves before they have a mammogram. Women should do a self breast exam every month. Its important to do it at the same time every month and not to do it while youre on your period. The importance of doing a self-exam cannot be stressed enough. It is critical.

SEE CANCER PAGE 3 A greek task force held its frst meeting Monday night to discuss how the Greek com- munity can address sexual assault. Te presidents of the KU Panhellenic Association and Interfraternity Council gave reports on sexual assault and the task force was updated on Student Senate discussions. Members also talked about the future of the task force. Te Panhellenic Association and Interfraternity Council have come together to create a framework for additional sexual assault programming, which will be part of a new member education that each chapter will be able to person- alize. Te programs will ad- dress prevention and aware- ness of sexual assault, as well as how the house will deal with it. Te greek task force will be involved in reviewing these programs, as well as looking at other measures each house is taking to address sexual as- sault. It will help hold us to a high- er standard by creating more programming, awareness and education, said Maggie Young, president of the KU Panhellenic Association and a senior in Chi Omega from Olathe. It also lets us be more self-governing, so theres no excuse for letting it happen or not speaking up. Young said she believes ad- dressing sexual assault at a chapter level will be the most efective way to promote change. Were a smaller group, and we recognize that we have the power to manage it within our own facilities, Young said. Its necessary because what weve done in the past isnt working, so we are taking an extra step to ensure we erad- icate the problem from the community. Young said one of the goals of the task force is to show that the greek community is taking an active stance in the issue and will be accountable. Tis way everyone can be aware of what were doing to tackle it, Young said. Morgan Said, student body president and a senior in Pi Beta Phi from Kansas City, Mo., said action from within the greek community will en- courage discussion, education and change. Te greek community wants to ensure it keeps up with the rest of campus, Said said.

Several months later, she had her fnal re- construction surgery, during which no cancer could be found. I never doubted that it was going to be gone, Angel said. I never had this overwhelm- ing fear that we were going to go in and get any other news besides that. Adam said through it all, his mothers strength is what al- lowed her to keep fghting. If she wouldnt have been able to handle as much, I dont know how we would have been able to help boost her morale if she hadnt helped herself like she did, Adam said. In all honesty, shes just a miracle. Still cancer free and celebrat- ing her youngest daughters second birthday this year, Angel admits the possibility of cancer coming back comes to mind from time to time. Tis past summer, she caught a stubborn cough and saw a doctor. Angel had a com- puterized tomography scan done to make sure no cancer had spread or grown into her lungs. Luckily the results were negative. Of course that nagging is still always in your head if its going to come back or not, Angel said. Its just behind us and hopefully we dont have to go through anything like that again. Although Angel said it was by no means a fun experi- ence, breast cancer was not as menacing as she had thought it would be. When it comes to defeating it, she said even the smallest acts of kindness from others can help. I hope people arent com- pletely fearful of it. For me, it wasnt as bad as I feared, Angel said. People can get through it and come out the other side and be OK. Edited by Rob Pyatt TUESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2014 PAGE 3 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Kansas City Metro 601 N.

Chris Fletcher Mark Rohrbaugh Daisy Hill dorm construction is on schedule KELSIE JENNINGS @kelcjennings Construction of the two new freshman dorms on Daisy Hill is on schedule, said Director of Student Housing Diana Rob- ertson. Te project has been going smoothly and they hav- ent had any setbacks. Construction began earlier this spring starting with the re- moval of the parking lot across from Lewis and Hashinger halls. Since then, the steel structures of the two new halls have been put up, with con- struction workers currently completing the ffh and third foors of the north and south halls, respectively. Te main focus is to get both of the halls raised to fve stories and enclosed before snow hits, Robertson said. Ten the work on the interior of the buildings will continue throughout win- ter. Students living on Daisy Hill, particularly in Hashinger and Lewis, have front row seats to the construction progress and have noticed the changes since moving in two months ago. Some students have said they havent been too inconve- nienced by the project, but one minor annoyance is the noise. Jennie Kohl, a freshman from Spring Hill, lives in Lewis in a room facing the construction. She said the construction usu- ally gets started between 7 and 8 a.m. Its gone by pretty fast, in my opinion, but its kind of annoy- ing, Kohl said. It wakes me up pretty early. John Greenough, a fresh- man from Tulsa, Okla., lives in Hashinger, but his room faces the campus so he hasnt been bothered by the loud noises, but hes heard other people complain. Its certainly inconvenient, but its not too big of a deal. I understand that stuf has to get done, he said. Aside from the noise and having Engel Road relocated, students on Daisy Hill have little to complain about with the dorm construction. Some students have mentioned the inconvenience of turned of water mains, which resulted in some students not being able to take showers for a short time last week. Te entire building reeked because the toilets were down, Greenough said of Hashinger. Robertson said the shut of was scheduled and announced and that the water had been shut of so they could connect the new water lines to the old ones. Te dorms are scheduled to be completed by July of 2015, Robertson said. Te dorms will be for freshmen only, but the common area that will connect the two halls will be open to all students.

Pollsters help contribute change to the political process A s I was sitting in bed doing homework, I received a call from an unknown number with a Nevada area code. Though my boyfriend told me not to answer, I did anyway. Good evening, I am calling on behalf of [some polling place]. Am I speaking with Helayna Butchman? I love these phone calls. It doesnt matter that they are asking the same questions, slightly rephrased for 12 to 15 minutes. It doesnt matter that the person on the other end doesnt know how to pronounce half of the names theyre asking for. Nine times out of 10, I will answer these phone calls because I think its important. Phone polls help politicians by determining how theyre doing, if their campaign tactics are working and what needs improvement in their campaign. If I say an attack ad orchestrated by Gov. Sam Brownback makes me less likely to vote for him in the upcoming election, that signals to his campaign that attack ads are not the way to go. Though Im not voting for Brownback this November, discussing how his strategies make me unlikely to vote for him lets his team know that these tactics are not working for him. Phone polls have the potential of creating healthier campaigns and elections, which is good for everyone. Phone polls also help voters and candidates anticipate whats going to happen in an election, giving insight on whether or not to campaign harder. This allows constituents to be even more informed and involved in the democratic process. Phone polls can be a hassle, but the next time an unknown number calls you, try giving them a chance. It requires virtually no work on your part and has the potential to benefit the political and electoral process. Helena Buchmann is a sophomore from Kansas City, Mo., studying global and international studies By Helena Buchmann @helenabee Students should change campus drinking culture I f you walk by almost any group of friends on campus Monday morning, you probably wouldnt be surprised to hear them talking about their crazy, drunken weekend. In that conversation, you might hear them talk about what bar they went to or how they were so drunk that they blacked out. Why is getting intoxicated to the point of no memory an ordinary occurrence? Although we act like getting blackout drunk is normal, it isnt. It seems that college students drink only to get drunk, whereas people out of college seem to have more responsible drinking habits. Although the majority of people on campus are full-time students, local bars are often packed on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights. Drinking until the point of vomiting or memory loss is dangerous, and should not be happening as much as it does on our campus. Around 90 percent of alcohol consumed by youth under the age of 21 is in the form of binge drinking, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. While I am in full support of having a good time over the weekend with your friends, it isnt safe for anyone to drink so much their senses become impaired. With sexual assault being a prevalent topic in the news recently, it is important to discuss alcohols involvement in sexual assault. Alcohol can be a common thread in these cases, and maybe there would be a decrease in sexual assault cases if alcohol werent a factor. That being said, just because someone chooses to drink an excessive amount does not mean they are giving informed consent to any sexual act. The University of Kansas is such a large school that it makes sense why our campus has such a large party scene. However, it is important for students to know their limits. There would be a lower percentage of students with alcohol poisoning, incidents of blacking out and possibly a decrease in sexual assault incidents. The University headed in the right direction by making freshmen take an online alcohol awareness class, however, all students could benefit from taking a similar course. It would allow students to keep the information fresh in their minds. It would also be a great demonstration of how the University is not only against minors consuming alcohol, but also how the University wants its students to be knowledgeable about the subject.

SHOWING IN SWEDEN Students short film to premiere at international festival RYAN MILLER @Ryanmiller_UDK Patrick Clement, a flmmak- er and non-traditional stu- dent at the University, is about to take his short flm that was inspired by a small town to a much diferent scene: over- seas. Te flm, Somewhere Between Freedom and Pro- tection, Kansas, will have its international premiere at the Uppsala International Short Film Festival in Sweden, which began yesterday and runs through Sunday. Te flm is about a young girl who faces a difcult decision in her small town, having to choose between her ill grand- mother and a scholarship. Clement said he expected the flm to be warmly received, at least in Kansas. You always hope the people will [like it] in the state that you made it in, Clement said. He hopes its well received at the festival as well, and is look- ing forward to being a part of the international scene. Uppsala is one of the lon- gest short running flm festi- vals in Sweden, and is a short flm-only festival that makes international selections. Cle- ments flm was one of three chosen from the United States. Its a great festival, put on by passionate people, and to be included this year really is an honor, Clement said. He also said since the an- nouncement for admitted flms was made within 30 days of the festival, he is unable to attend it in person. But he said hes excited for his flm to be a part of the festival alongside the other short flms. Tats the best part, to see my flm as part of this amaz- ing program, Clement said. I think theres really a cama- raderie that comes to being at festivals like that. In addition to the flm fes- tival, Clement will screen his flm at the Public Library in Pratt Tuesday at 7 p.m., fol- lowed by a Q&A about the flm and his experiences mak- ing it in Kansas. Western Kansas is such a wellspring of ideas and places, and I am shocked that people dont make more flms there, its amazing to flm there untouched, Clement said. Clement, originally from Boston, said the flm is neither a Hollywood blockbuster nor a comedy, but a drama, which he said limits the audience. He said so far, hes happy he has been able to reach those peo- ple both in the United States, and abroad, such as Uppsala. I want to have [put thought into] everything that goes into the flm, he said. For peo- ple to look at that and think theres a type of cohesion, thats a success. Clement frst spent a month devoted entirely to pre-pro- duction. Ten he spent two weeks shooting the flm in rural Western Kansas and two weeks packing up before coming back to Lawrence, where he spent the next seven months editing the flm. No Hollywood director would ever admit this, but the day afer shooting, I thought that I had wasted everyones time, and spent a bunch of money on nothing, Clement said. Clement said most of his flm work has been done out- side of the University, though he shot content for the Ofce of First-Year Experience this year. He also shot some of the footage shown at Hawk Week, such as the video where stu- dents interacted with each other in a ball pit by Wescoe. Howard Graham, the associ- ate director of academic pro- grams with the Ofce of First- Year Experience, worked with Clement on Hawk Week. Graham said Clement dis- played various strengths while working with the ofce on the video. He said Clement had several planning sessions with them, where they talked through ideas and chose the best ones. He is really talented, Gra- ham said. He knows how to take raw ideas and turn them into a fnished project that lands with the intended audi- ence. Graham said the dozens of hours of shooting flm result- ed in the 20 minute-long vid- eo that was presented at Hawk Week. Clement has also applied for a few other flm festivals abroad, such as one in Ger- many. Filmmaking is a big world- wide community, Clement said. Teres a lot of people doing what Im doing, and I sure wish that I could go meet some of them, and share my experiences. He said he was selective in choosing what festivals to ap- ply to. You try to sort of target what festivals will be good fts since you cant submit to ev- ery festival, Clement said. For now, in addition to par- taking in the upcoming Swed- ish festival, Clement is look- ing forward to working on his next flm as well as several book projects. I think we all look where we can match passion and skill into something that makes us happy, and luckily, I think Ive been able to do that, he said.

Its doubtful, and according to Solve Media, an advertising consulting com- pany, you are 87.8 percent more likely to apply to Har- vard and get accepted and 475.28 times more likely to survive a plane crash than you are to click on a banner ad on a website. Snapchat users may have noticed a new addition to their story feeds this past weekend, a sponsored Snap- chat story for the new movie Ouija. Snapchat, the social media app that made its claim to fame with feeting photos and videos, introduced adver- tisements that automatically appear on a users story feed this past weekend. In doing so, the company hopes to change the current ideology and notions of what an adver- tisement should be. Its going to feel a little weird at frst, but were taking the plunge, the company said in a statement released on Fri- day through its blog. Under- standably, a lot of folks want to know why were introduc- ing advertisements to our ser- vice. Te answer is probably unsurprising we need to make money. It did feel a little weird. Tough it may have seemed intrusive, thats far from what Snapchat intends. Te state- ment said while some com- panies (yes you, Facebook) spend a lot of time collecting information on its users in or- der to create targeted adver- tisements, Snapchat wants to steer clear of that altogether. Considering the primary demographics of a Snapchat user, targeted advertise- ments may be unavoidable even if they are unintentional. Business Insider reported the apps demographics are domi- nated by teens and millenni- als between the ages of 13 and 25 and the majority of users are female. Regardless of the fact that Snapchat advertisements re- frain from targeting individ- ual users, it still targets a pri- mary consumer group us. As advertisements continue to appear on the app, brands have already recognized and tapped into the potential for promotion through the app. Live stories started appear- ing in users story feeds over the summer, with the inten- tion of making you feel like youre right there even if you cant make it to an event, a statement from Snapchat said. While these Live stories es- sentially eliminate the millen- nial-created and self-induced epidemic of FOMO (fear of missing out), they boost vis- ibility of an event or brand, one that millennials would most likely want to seen or associated with. Music festivals such as Lol- lapalooza, Austin City Limits and Electric Daisy Carnival are among the most nota- ble events to take advantage of this feature on the app. Brands such as Red Bull and the NCAA have created Live stories as well, all in eforts to promote and prove the event or brand remains relevant to its target audience. While users can choose to hide a Live story, the event or brand still receives visibil- ity, and while users have the choice to either click on an advertisement or not, Snap- chat still makes the decision as to what advertisers can pay to appear in the app at all. In the same statement Snap- chat released regarding the debut of advertisements, it said, Te best advertise- ments tell you more about stuf that actually interests you. So, whether Snapchat intended, it seems it will now be a deciding factor in what interests its users. Edited by Rob Pyatt Arabs from Israel risk arrest for appearing on Arab Idol show MAJD AL-KRUM, Israel Teir goal is to win Arab Idol, the Arab worlds premiere television song competition. But the journey Manal Mou- sa, 25, and Haitham Khalaily, 24, have taken from their vil- lages in Israel to the compe- tition in Lebanon could com- prise a television drama of its own featuring travel to an enemy country, Israeli secu- rity interrogations, and the complicated identity crisis of Israels Arabs. Te two singers are compet- ing for more than just fame: they want to be a part of the cultural world that has been largely of limits to them be- cause of the decades-long Ar- ab-Israeli confict. Tis is a chance for Haitham, said Waheeb Khalaily, Haithams father, in his home in Majd Al-Krum, a village in the Galilee, in northern Israel. For the Arab world and the whole world to hear him and say that he rep- resents a Palestinian people that clings to its land. In the bitter confict be- tween Israel and its Arab neighbors, Arab-Israelis are stuck in the middle. Tough citizens of the Jewish state, they share the ethnicity, lan- guage and culture of the Pal- estinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Arabs who remained in Is- rael afer its creation in 1948, and their descendants, today make up 20 percent of the population. Many identify as Palestinians rather than Israelis, watch Arab satel- lite television and dream of traveling throughout the Middle East. But their Israeli citizenship bars them from most Arab countries because Israeli passport holders are prohibited entry. Tat includes the Lebanese capital of Beirut, where many Arab stars are born. When the show held its frst-ever auditions in the West Bank in March, the lure of making it big was too tempting for Mousa and Khalaily to worry about bor- ders. Tey, and other young Arab singers in Israel, drove past Israeli military check- points to stand in line with hundreds of Palestinians for videotaped auditions. Mou- sa, Khalaily and two dozen others advanced to the next round in Beirut the following month. Te Israeli-Lebanese border is sealed, so the two used their Israeli passports to cross into neighboring Jordan where they boarded a plane for Bei- rut. At the Lebanese airport, they presented travel docu- ments that the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank issued them especially for the trip, a Palestinian inte- rior ministry ofcial said. In Beirut, they passed all three rounds of auditions and were chosen to be among the 26 fnal contestants from around the Arab world the frst time Arabs from Israel have ever been selected for the show. Afer Mousa and Khalaily returned to Israel in May to wait for the shows taping, Israels Shin Bet intelligence service summoned them for interrogations about their travel, their families said. Teir Israeli passports were confscated and they were told the passports would be revoked for up to three months, the families said. Trough the help of rights groups, their passports were returned within days, Mou- sas family said. Te Shin Bet did not imme- diately respond to a request for comment. Israel has sentenced Ar- ab-Israelis in the past on charges of traveling abroad to conspire with militant groups for attacks against Israel or to fght alongside rebels in Syria. Te same month the two singers traveled to Lebanon, Israel arrested a 23-year- old Arab-Israeli journalist returning from a confer- ence there. Ofcials initially thought he was recruited by militants but later dropped the suspicion. Travel to Lebanon is pun- ishable under Israeli law by four years in jail or paying a fne, said Aram Mahameed, a lawyer from the Arab-Israeli rights group Adalah, whom Khalailys family consulted afer the contestant was inter- rogated. It is a law against the Arabs in Israel to disconnect them from other Arabs in the Arab countries, said Mahameed. Tough Jewish and Arab Israelis have faced indict- ment for traveling to Leb- anon, their trials generally do not proceed unless they are accused of other crimes, he said, adding that Jewish Israeli journalists who have gone to Lebanon have not been questioned upon their return. Mousa and Khalaily are now in Beirut taping the show, which is airing weekly on the Arab satellite channel MBC.

Adamovic and Babic went on to lose in the fnal to Okla- homa State teammates Vik- toriya Lushkova and Kelsey Laurente. Lushkova and Lau- rente were seeded frst in the doubles draw and Lushkova won the singles draw at re- gionals. Luduea and Cardona were one of two doubles pairs seeded out of the top eight who made it to the semif- nal. Tey defeated Oklahoma States eighth-seeded Carla Tur Mari/Maria Alvarez 8-3 to advance to the quarterfnal. Coach Todd Chapman was happy with how his team played doubles over the week- end. Any competitive player or coach is never satisfed afer losing, Chapman said. With that being said, I believe they had a good tournament. Another player who did well in this tournament was freshman Smith Hinton, who won two matches in the sin- gles qualifying draw and went on to the second round in the main singles draw. In the doubles bracket, Hinton and her partner, freshman Madi- son Harrison, advanced to the round of 16. As a freshman, Hinton leads the team with a singles record of 8-3. She spoke about how her ftness has helped her ad- just to college tennis. My ftness has gotten a lot better, Hinton said. Here we do a lot of ftness. My ten- nis was fne, but the ftness helped me to feel more con- fdent playing matches and I can be out there for longer than other girls. I feel like Ive gotten a lot stronger. She also explained how Lu- duea and Cardonas success in doubles has made the team more confdent going into doubles competition. Teyre a really good team, she said. Its cool to see theyve played together for the last two or three years. It gives a lot of the other girls confdence that if we practice with a certain partner or do whatever coach says, we can do really well, too. Most of the team is fnished for the fall season. Four play- ers will be sent to Houston at the end of October for the Houston Invitational. Te main tennis season will begin in January with Kansas facing New Mexico.

Edited by Ben Carroll T he Royals havent needed Danny Dufy this postseason. Ned Yost and Dayton Moore have pointed out the main reason for Dufys relegation to the bullpen has mostly been his shaky mechanics in recent starts. Te Cardinals employed Shelby Miller in a similar fashion last season and pitched one inning last postseason. However, if the Royals want to defeat the best pitching staf they have faced this postseason, Dufy should take the bump in place of Jason Vargas or Jeremy Guthrie. Dufy didnt end the season is the best fashion, most notably against the White Sox, but one can argue that Dufy, without question, has the best stuf on the Royals pitching staf. Vargas can go of the rails anytime he gets hit hard. He has been consis- tently solid this postseason, but has still given up three home runs in two postseason starts. Fortunately for Vargas, all of them have been solo shots, but Vargas production curtailed along with Dufys at the end of the regular season, yielding 18 runs in his last four starts. Te Giants ofense contains a sizable portion of lefies in its lineup with fve. Over the season, Dufy has proved to be tougher against lefies than Vargas. Dufy is giving up a .136/.225/.161 line against lefies compared with Vargas .266/.306/.355. Obviously, Dufy would be a huge stretch to start, but not entirely out of the question considering the Royals back line of the rotation just needs to hold its court and get to the sixth inning. Vargas regression to the mean could be imminent and more of the reason to start Dufy. Tere is also a case to be made for Dufy to start for Guthrie, who has only started in one postseason game going fve and one-third innings but never remaining in total control. His periph- eral stats are slightly worse than Vargas. Guthrie gave up more home runs and walks, and strikes out fewer batters than Vargas did in the regu- lar season. Guthrie is known, like Vargas, as a pitcher who pitches to contact and uses the Royals defense to his beneft. Tis has worked for both pitchers thus far in the postseason, but theres a pos- sibility things could get ugly. Dufy was spectacular in the regular season, leading all Royals starting pitchers with a 2.53 ERA during the regular season and leading the team to nine wins. If the mechanical issues hadnt occurred against the Yankees, he probably would be favored to start over Guthrie and Vargas. With Dufys decline in velocity and not striking out as much of batters as he used to, you can see why Yost and the front ofce would take caution. However, if you compared Dufys ceiling for making a dominant start, it would far outweigh Vargas or Guthries.

THE DAILY DEBATE Should Danny Duffy start a game in the World Series? By GJ Melia @gjmelia NO YES By Connor Oberkrom @coberkro D uring an undefeat- ed run over the last eight games, Kansas Citys pitching staf and defense have been the key to success. Unlike the regular season, manager Ned Yost has gone with a four-man starting rotation of Shields, Yordano Ventura, Jason Vargas and Jeremy Guthrie. Troughout the regular season, starting pitcher Danny Dufy was among those four. During the season, Dufy posted a 2.53 ERA, the best of any start- ing pitcher on the Royals roster. In a game on Sept. 6 versus the Yankees, Dufy threw one pitch being before being taken out due to shoulder discomfort. His injury was eventually diagnosed as an infamed shoulder. Dufy missed two starts and returned on Sept. 22, picking up a win against the Cleveland Indians. Going into the postseason, Ned Yost said Dufy would be kept in the bullpen to be used only in relieving situations. Dufy is another weap- on to the loaded bullpen, with pitchers such as Greg Holland, Wade Davis, Kel- vin Herrera and Brandon Finnegan among others. Although Yosts move was unorthodox, it will continue to make the Royals bullpen that much more intimidat- ing against San Francisco. Dufy made his frst and only playof appearance in Game 1 of the ALDS (American League Division Series) against the Los An- geles Angels. Dufy picked up the 3-2 win, coming in relief the 10th inning, and the Royals eventually fn- ished it of in the 11th. Yost has made multi- ple jarring decisions this postseason. Whether it was pulling James Shields fve innings into the wild-card game against Oakland, or constantly bunting to ad- vance runners, regardless of who was at the plate. So far, each move has worked out. When the rotations for the World Series were an- nounced for Games 1 and 2, Dufy again was slotted for the bullpen. Barring an in- jury in the starting rotation, he should stay there for the entirety of the series. Yosts decisions have not only worked out, but have been to Kansas Citys beneft. He shouldnt change anything that has been working, especially with how well the Royals have been playing during this postseason. Tat doesnt mean there wont be an injury, and it doesnt mean Yost wont pull something out of his hat. But for now Dufy is a weapon out of the bullpen, and the current starting rotation gives the Kansas City Royals the best chance to win its frst World Series since 1985.

From 1976-1985, the Kansas City Royals made the playofs in seven of 10 seasons and reached the ALCS in six of those seven. Te World Series in two of those six. In the city I was born in and call home, Kansas City where the fountains danced to the smooth jazz and the barbecue tantalized was once a baseball frenzied one. It was a time when Willie Wilson few around the bases. When watching Frank White play second was like reading poetry. When George Brett hit .494 in July of 1980 and .390 on the year. Te Royals were 860-701 during that stretch. Te his- toric run culminated in 1985 when Brett, White, Wilson, Bret Saberhagen and Dan Quisenberry paraded around Liberty Memorial, hoisting the Commissioners Trophy afer defeating the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series. Twenty-nine opening days passed. Twenty-nine All-Star Games. Twenty-nine trade deadlines. Twenty-nine seasons. Including this years magical run, the Royals had fnished above .500 only seven times since the 11-0 victory in Game 7 of 1985 World Series. Te 2014 Wild Card berth marked the frst time the Royals had made the playofs since Bretts heroics almost three decades ago. *** My frst encounter with Kaufman Stadium is blurry. Te details of the game itself are lost on me, but I remem- ber being with my dad in the biggest crowd of people Id ever seen. I remember the smell of hot dogs, the sound of bat on ball and a smat- tering of drunkards yelling obscenities as balls were dropped and batters struck out looking. Seven years old and as impressionable as silly putty, I looked out from my seat with a sense of wonder, and knew Id be coming back. Ofen. My birthday, April 9, is near the beginning of baseball season, so as an early gif each year my dad would pull me out of elementary school early so we could make it in time to the K for opening day. Royals baseball and my dad signaled the end of school and the beginning of summertime. Gradually, I began to follow the Royals more closely as I aged. Players stole my heart: Mike Sweeney and Angel Berroa. Carlos Beltran pa- trolling center feld. My dad and I would attempt to manage the team from our basement television. So many times, Trey Hillman didnt listen to us. To me, born in 1993, Royals baseball had meant trying to make it out of May before being eliminated from playof contention. It meant the Royals trying to play spoiler to teams on the brink of the playofs. It meant next years our year. It never meant late-inning home runs. It never meant a highlight-reel defense, the best back of the bullpen in baseball history, or even the playofs. And it certainly was never this: a World Series match- up with the San Francisco Giants. To me, Royals baseball was going to bed before the game was over on a school night. My dad had sent me up to my room in the sixth or seventh inning and told me I needed sleep. I went upstairs begrudgingly, only to stay up with my Walkman under the covers, listening to Denny Matthews as the Royals pried defeat from the jaws of victory. Royals baseball was pre- tending that I didnt know the Royals allowed a walk-of homerun, or made a costly error or walked the leadof man. It meant giving my dad my best incredulous look of bewilderment as he summa- rized the game on the drive to school. I remember the Royals losing on a ball that glanced of a bird in the outfeld. I remember Ken Harvey get- ting hit in the back on a relay throw to the plate. I remem- ber the Royals losing to the Indians afer a 10-1 lead. Royals baseball was watch- ing Carlos Beltran, Johnny Damon and Jermaine Dye come into their own in Royal blue, only to be traded or signed elsewhere because they could no longer be aforded. I remember obsessing over things not specifc to the Royals success to get through all the losses: managers, umpires, ejections, the Hot Dog derby standings, and, more than anything, our farm system. Royals post-game on the radio meant listening late until Josh Ford concluded his show with a look down on the farm. Te future: hope. I dreamed of better days to come we all did but we never thought that day would arrive. But here they are. I wouldnt change anything, but would I do it again? *** Kansas City lost at least 100 games in four of the fve years from 2002 to 2006. Two years ago, the Roy- als came home for the frst time of the year afer a 3-3 opening road trip. Teeming with optimism, they squared up against the 1-4 Cleveland Indians who had four batters in their lineup hitting below .200. I rushed home from Cal- culus class to catch the frst pitch. My dad was late getting to the game because of work. By the time he reached his seat, and by the time I found the channel, it was 7-0 Cleveland in the bottom of the frst. Te loss marked the second of a 12-game losing streak. Kansas City fnished 18 games under .500. Last year, on May 5, the Royals were 17-10. By the time the calendar turned to June, the Royals were 22-30. Teyd lost 20 of their next 25. Te Royals went 43-27 in the second half, fnishing the season 10 games over .500, but still missed the playofs. Tere was 2003, when the Royals started the season 9-0, 16-3, and were 10 games over .500 by the All-Star break seven games up on the AL Central. Ill never forget Denny Mat- thews voice crackling over the air on a makeup game from a rainout in June 2003. A September matinee against the Arizona Diamondbacks, one of the biggest games of my young life. Te Royals were four games over .500 heading into the afernoon and just a game and a half out of frst behind Chicago and Minnesota. Tey knocked Randy John- son around in the frst fve innings, but blew a three-run lead late and lost on Lyle Overbays single in the 10th inning. You could feel the playofs slipping through their hands. Tony Penas club would fnish the season seven-and-a-half games back and would miss the playofs. Even when the stars seemed to align, when we really believed, it still wasnt good enough. Tats why I distrusted the 2014 team. Te Royals front ofce banked on the fact that they were a second-half team afer a frst half that fell short of expectations, and afer starting the second half 0-4, being swept in Boston and losing the opener to Chicago. I thought they were done. Put a fork in them. Id seen this movie before. But then, suddenly, this team refused to be denied. Te Royals rattled of 24 wins in 29 games and fnished their last 64 games with a .640 win percentage. Te Royals snapped the 29-year playof drought. Tey stole the heart of the nation. Times have changed. It is a time when Jarrod Dyson steals second and third and scores on a wild pitch. Its a time when Lorenzo Cain draws com- parisons to Willie Mays. Its a time when Mike Moustakas goes berserk against playof pitching. On drives home from Kaufman stadium, listening to Royals postgame coverage, I dreamed of Eric Hosmer and Moustakas hitting long-bombs in the playofs. I dreamed of diving catches and a closer slamming the door in front of a sea of blue. Possibility has become real- ity. Te Royals are 8-0 in the postseason. Tis fairytale run resumes on Tuesday. Kansas City and baseball, Baseball and Kansas City. Its a match made in heaven. Im just here to enjoy the ride. Ive been here to enjoy this ride. And its here fnally.
Edited by Miranda Davis @KANSANSPORTS San Francisco radio stations ban hit song Royals
SAN FRANCISCO The popular song Royals by New Zealand artist Lorde is getting caught up in the fervor over the upcoming World Series between the San Francisco Giants and Kansas City Royals. Two San Francisco radio stations say they wont play the song during the duration of the World Series. A Kansas City, Mo., station responded with plans to play the Grammy-win- ning track every hour from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, the rst day of the series. A few angry San Franciscans who dont have a song called Giants wont rain on our parade, Tony Lorino, program director of KZPT in Kansas City, said in a statement on the stations website. San Francisco stations KFOG and KOIT announced the bans last week as the Giants clinched the pennant and headed to the series. KOIT program director Brian Figula said in a statement that listeners called for the ban. KOIT is a sister station of KZPT in Kansas City. Jim Richards, KFOGs program director, said the station didnt want to play a song that repeatedly says Royals while rooting for the hometown team. Were all about the Giants here, he said, adding that the ban was completely tongue-in-cheek. Lorde has told VH1 that a photo of Kansas City Royals Hall of Famer George Brett signing autographs helped inspire her song when she saw the word Royals on his uniform.

1203 Iowa St // 785.841.4935 // midwestpm.com Football Film Review: Kansas vs. Texas Tech BLAIR SHEADE @realblairsheady OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE GAME: MICHAEL CUMMINGS 20-32 235 passing yards, 2 touchdowns and 1 INT
The redshirt junior started his second consecutive game and threw for over 230 yards for the second consecutive game an accomplishment sophomore quarterback Montell Cozart never achieved as the starting quarterback. Cummings threw two touchdown passes and had a better quarterback rating (138.6) than Texas Tech quarterback Davis Webb. Cummings rushed the ball for 20 yards on 11 carries and scored on a one-yard touchdown run.
DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE GAME: BEN HEENEY Heeney had 14 tackles in the rst half alone, which was the most of any Kansas player in a half. The senior linebacker nished the day with a season-high 21 tackles and 17 were solo. Heeney intercepted Davis Webb for his rst inter- ception of the season and took it 37 yards, which set up a Kansas touchdown.
PLAYER KANSAS STRUGGLED TO CONTAIN: DEANDRE WASHINGTON The Kansas defense couldnt contain DeAndre Washington. The junior running back didnt score, but Washington forced Kansas to play the run rst, which opened up all the passing plays for Texas Webb. Washington had a game high 23 carries for 164 yards. The Red Raiders rode Washington because he averaged 7 yards per carry.
OFFENSE SUMMARY The offense was able to surpass 350 yards of total offense for the second straight game. Seven different receivers caught a pass from Cummings, and senior tight end Jimmay Mundine led the team with seven catches for 82 yards and a score. Mundine led the team in receiving yards for the second straight week. Freshman running back Corey Avery has 15 carries for 69 yards, but fumbled the ball late in the game to put the game out of reach.
DEFENSE SUMMARY The Kansas defense forced two turnovers one Heeney intercep- tion and one fumble recovery by senior linebacker Victor Simmons. Senior linebacker Michael Reyn- olds forced the fumble by sacking Texas Webb. Reynolds had three tackles for loss, which was a game high. The problem with the defense was the secondary and the inability to pressure the quarterback. Besides the fumble, Kansas didnt get to Webb the whole game.
PLAY OF THE GAME After a Heeney interception, Kansas took over at the Texas Tech 39-yard line. Seven plays later, Cummings found senior wide re- ceiver Justin McCay for a 16-yard touchdown pass. The play came with 30 seconds left in the half and gave Kansas its rst score of the game.
GAME SUMMARY First quarter Texas Tech scored twice off a Webb 13-yard touchdown pass and a 34-yard eld goal by Ryan Bustin. The Jayhawks were held scoreless, but linebacker Ben Heeney recorded 10 tackles.
(TEXAS TECH 10, KANSAS 0) Second quarter Tech scored on an 8-yard touchdown pass from Webb to wide receiver Brad Mar- quez, and Kansas was able to put points on the board. Cummings passed to McCay for a 16-yard score.
(TEXAS TECH 17, KANSAS 7) Third quarter Kansas and Tech both scored twice. The Red Raiders kicked a eld goal, and Webb threw his third touchdown pass to wide receiver Ian Sadler. The Jayhawks scored on a 21-yard pass from Cummings to Mundine, and a 1-yard rushing touchdown by Cummings. At the end of the quarter, Kansas was down one score. (TEXAS TECH 27, KANSAS 21) Fourth quarterback Kansas was shut out in the fourth quarter, and Avery lost a fumble with under two minutes left which ended the game for Kansas. The Red Raider put the game out of hand with a 21-yard touchdown run by running back Justin Stockton.
(TEXAS TECH 34, KANSAS 21)
MOVING FORWARD Kansas follows this loss with a bye week. The Jayhawks will have two weeks to prepare for 2013 Big 12 champions Baylor on Nov. 1. Kansas hasnt defeated Baylor since 2003, and the Jayhawks have never won in Waco, Texas, since Baylor joined the Big 12 in 1996. Edited by Rob Pyatt Bowen stresses fundamentals for teams bye week SKYLAR ROLSTAD @SkyRolSports Te Jayhawks head into a bye week this weekend afer a 34- 21 loss to TCU on Saturday the teams fourth straight conference loss and 30th straight road loss. In his weekly teleconference, interim head coach Clint Bowen said the bye would give his team time to rest as well as work on the fundamental parts of the game, parts the Jayhawks have missed in the teams last two losses. Games Kansas came close to winning. It gives us time to rest, but then it also gives us time to focus on a lot of areas that we need to improve, Bowen said. We talked about the little things that were allowing to get away, which are the funda- mentals in a lot of ways. Well be able to anchor down and practice some fundamental football. COMPETITIVE CUMMINGS Bowen explained his deci- sion to put junior quarterback Michael Cummings in the starting quarterback position since taking over as head coach following the fring of Charlie Weis. Te thing he brings most to us is that hes a tough, com- petitive guy, Bowen said. He has a natural leadership about him to where he can demand things in the huddle. He has some presence about him that people around him can gener- ate some confdence from. Cummings has started in all three games for Bowen, unseating sophomore Montell Cozart for the starting posi- tion. He makes decisions; hes not afraid to pull the trigger. Tats giving us a little bit of spark on the ofense, Bowen said. Kansas narrowly lost 27- 20 at home to then No. 15 Oklahoma State two weeks ago. Kansas senior wide re- ceiver Nick Harwell recorded the most receiving yards in the game as a whole, and Cummings led both teams in passing yards. PIERSON STATUS UNKNOWN Bowen gave an update on the status of receiver Tony Pierson, who sustained a neck injury in Kansas last game against Texas Tech, saying that the injury doesnt look to be something really bad, but that the team hasnt got the fnal word about it. Pierson went to the doctor Monday to be evaluated. BIG 12 LIGHTING UP THE SCOREBOARD Bowen also talked about par- ity in the Big 12, highlighting the powerful ofenses in the conference. Each week things get shak- en up a little bit. Every week its a battle. I think the parity comes from what the ofenses in this league can do, Bowen said. Te ofensive frepower in this league is keeping ev- erything balanced. Tere are several teams out there that are playing at a high level. Kansas will play No. 12 Baylor in its next game afer the bye week. Baylor is second in the nation in total ofense with 4,053 yards and frst in the nation in yards per game with 579.

It gives us time to rest, but
then it also gives us time to focus on a lot of areas that we need to improve. CLINT BOWEN Interim head coach GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN Interim head coach Clint Bowen runs out with the team before Kansas game against Oklahoma State. Bowen held his weekly teleconference to discuss Kansas upcoming bye week. Tree or four weeks ago, if the Big 12 only had one team ranked in the AP Top 10, one would have thought it would be Oklahoma or Baylor. But a lot has changed since then and at the start of Week 9 in the NCAA football season; TCU is the only team ranked in the Top 10 from this conference. Afer another wild weekend, the lines between the top and middle of the league are still blurry. Baylor fell from the ranks of the undefeated. Okla- homa sufered its second loss, this time at the hands of Kansas State, which allows the Wild- cats to sit by themselves at the top of the conference standings at 3-0 in the league. TCU fol- lowed up a near upset of Bay- lor with a resounding victory againstOklahoma State on Sat- urday. Overall, there are fve Big 12 teams ranked in the Top 25. Tese last few weeks have shown that the league is pret- ty much up for grabs, and the conference race will surely be a fun one. However, the chances of a Big 12 team earning a spot in the four-team playof are looking slimmer. 1. NO. 10 TCU 5-1 (2-1 BIG 12) Last time out: Won vs. Oklahoma State 42-9 TCU nished its stretch of three brutal matchups against Oklaho- ma, Baylor and Oklahoma State in consecutive weeks, and came out looking like a contender. After nearly taking down offensive powerhouse Baylor before falling short late on Oct. 11, TCU unleashed an offensive onslaught on Oklahoma State. The Horned Frogs were rolling early and, by the end of the rst quarter, were leading 21-3. Quarterback Trevone Boykin had a career-high 410 passing yards. His three pass- ing touchdowns were complement- ed by TCUs running back duo of B.J. Catalon and Trevorris Johnson, who combined for 153 yards and two touchdowns. Trending: up Next up: vs. Texas Tech 2. NO. 11 KANSAS STATE 5-1 (3-0) Last time out: Won at Oklahoma 31-30 By now, it should be no surprise when a Bill Snyder-led team nds ways to win. The Wildcats were not overlooked at the start of the sea- son, but they denitely werent ex- pected to vie for the conference title. Yet here they are atop the leader- board, fresh off a victory against the perennial powerhouse Oklahoma. The difference in the game, which K-State led or tied for much of, was mistakes. Actually for K-State, it was the lack of mistakes. Quar- terback Jake Waters was an ef- cient 15 of 23 for 225 yards and a touchdown. The running back corps combined for 160 yards and a touchdown. Maybe most important- ly, K-State didnt turn the ball over and capitalized when Oklahoma did. Trending: up Next up: vs. Texas 3. NO. 12 BAYLOR 6-1 (3-1) Last time out: lost at West Virginia 27-41 Every mistake thus far by the Baylor Bears has been covered up by their offense. When that unit struggled Saturday, the result was Baylors rst loss. The Bears committed 18 penal- ties for 215 yards, a Big 12 record. Quarterback Bryce Petty was sacked four times and had no touchdowns after halftime. Petty nished with 16 completions out of 36 attempts for 233 yards and two touchdowns. The offense gained 318 yards, which is well below the 623 yards it came in averaging. Trending: down Next up: Bye week 4. NO. 17 OKLAHOMA 5-2 (2-2) Last time out: lost vs. K-State 30-31 The Sooners have no one to blame for the loss but themselves. Kicker Michael Hunnicutt missed a 19-yard eld goal with less than four min- utes left in the fourth quarter, which would have put the Sooners ahead. Hunnicutt also missed a 32-yard eld-goal attempt right before half- time. His point-after attempt was also blocked in the fourth quarter, which led to the nal margin. Even though the kicking game struggled, the Sooners also made plenty of oth- er mistakes. They had two turnovers, including a pick-6, and the defense could not stop the Wildcats from scoring at crucial moments. Trending: down Next up: Bye week 5. NO. 22 WEST VIRGINIA 5-2 (3-1) Last time out: won vs. Baylor 41-27 Everyone now knows about the Big 12s dark horse West Virginia. For the second week in a row, the Moun- taineers pushed out a strong effort in the fourth quarter for the victory. This week, West Virginia was tied with previously undefeated Baylor heading into the last period. From there, the Mountaineers scored two touchdowns and stopped the Bears on a fourth-and-one late. Quarterback Clint Trickett is third in the FBS in passing yards with 2,525, and wide receiver Kevin White leads the nation with 1020 receiving yards. He is the only player with more than 1,000. Trending: up Next up: at Oklahoma State 6. OKLAHOMA STATE 5-2 (3-1) Last time out: lost at TCU 9-42 The Cowboys were just outplayed by the Horned Frogs. Quarterback Daxx Garman did not complete a single pass after halftime. He com- pleted 10 of 25 passes in the game for no touchdowns and two intercep- tions. If they want to stay in the mix after showing early-season poten- tial, they have to do it against the leagues best. They have yet to face a team that is currently ranked in the Big 12. Trending: down Next up: vs. West Virginia 7. TEXAS 3-4 (2-2) Last time out: won vs. Iowa State 48-45 The shootout of the weekend hap- pened in Austin, Texas. Iowa State scored the tying touchdown with 28 seconds left in the fourth quarter, but that was enough time for Texas quarterback Tyrone Swoopes. He had two long completions to receivers Jaxon Shipley and John Harris to set up Nick Roses game-winning 21- yard eld goal. For a team that isnt used to being toward the bottom of the conference standings, the victory keeps Texas alive in a sense. A loss would have been crushing. Trending: same Next up: at K-State 8. TEXAS TECH 3-4 (1-3) Last time out: won vs. Kansas 34-21 Texas Tech earned its rst Big 12 victory on Saturday. The offense overmatched the Kansas defense. Quarterback Davis Webb threw for 288 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. Coming into the game as the most penalized team in the country, the Red Raiders cleaned up their act and only committed four penalties. Trending: same Next up: at TCU 9. IOWA STATE 2-5 (0-4) Last time out: lost at Texas 48-45 If an award existed for the team with the most moral victories or games it played well enough to win but didnt, Iowa State would run away with the trophy. In the latest edition of their heartbreaking losses, the Cyclones mounted what looked like a tying drive to send the game into overtime against Texas, only to see the Long- horns come back with a drive that took 25 seconds to win. One of these days, the Cyclones will win a conference game, and no one should be surprised. Trending: same Next up: Bye week 10. KANSAS 2-5 (0-4) Last time out: lost at Texas Tech 21-34 The Jayhawks played hard again for interim coach Clint Bowen, but still lost. The road losing streak is almost too long to mention. Quarterback Michael Cummings continued to lead the offense. Line- backer Ben Heeney had a career day with 21 tackles, but the team hasnt put together an overall winning per- formance.

Te game of basketball isnt how it was when MJ played in the 1980s and 90s. Basket- ball has increased in competitiveness, and the NBAs schedule has had to catch up to a league thats growing bigger, faster and stronger. Yahoo Sports reported in a 2013 article on NBA injuries that averag- ing 35 minutes in an NBA game in 2013 is far more taxing than doing as much 30 years ago, or even in Michael Jordans era as the game continues to grow, the injuries continue to pile up. Reigning NBA MVP Kevin Durant is out for six to eight weeks due to a foot injury, and Indiana Pacers star Paul George sufered a horrifying injury during a Team USA exhibition game and is out for the remainder of the season. Because of the increase in injuries, the NBA has been toying with the idea of shortening games. On Sunday, the Boston Celtics and the Brooklyn Nets played in a 44-minute game (four quarters of 11 minutes), four minutes less than a regulation game. Te NBAs biggest star, LeBron James, speaks for many athletes in the NBA and said he doesnt believe shortened games will reduce fatigue or the number of injuries. James said he believes the only thing that will help is cutting games from the regular 82-game sea- son schedule. James is in favor of the shortened 66-game schedule. Te minutes dont mean anything, James told reporters Wednesday. We can play 50-minute games if we had to. Its the games that I think we all as players think is too many games in our season. 82 games are a lot. Michael Jordan, owner of the Char- lotte Hornets, was puzzled as to why James and other NBA players want to reduce the schedule. If I wasnt playing 82 games, I still wouldve been playing somewhere else because thats the love for the game I had, Jordan told ESPN. As a player, I never thought 82 games was an issue. Te lockout of 2011, which reduced the regular season to 66 games, gave the players a taste of what the reduced season would be like. Reducing the regular 82-game schedule to 66 games would result in a loss of $30 million in team revenue, according to Forbes. Te NBA also just signed a new TV deal with ESPN and Turner for $24 billion over the next nine years. Tat deal was made for a slate of 82 regular season games, not 66. If the reduced schedule were to be put in place, would the deal need to be renegoti- ated? James realizes reducing the number of games will result in less revenue, but he is more focused on the well-be- ing of the players. At the end of the day, we want to protect the prize and the prize is the players, James told reporters. We have to continue to promote the game and if guys are being injured because there are so many games, then we cant promote it at a high level. We got two of our top guys in our league out right now. Im not saying its because of the games, but anything will help.

No Events Remember when your American Government teacher told you that history has a tendency of repeating itself? For redshirt junior Michael Cummings, this is especially true. In 2012, seeing his frst sig- nifcant action of the season replacing Dayne Crist mid- way through the game, the redshirt freshman led Kan- sas back from down 20-0 and nearly upset Oklahoma State at home. Leading two touchdown drives in the last 11 minutes, Cummings and the Jayhawks simply ran out of time, falling 20-14 despite Cummings going 5-of-10 for 75 yards and one touchdown. Tats a good game against a good team and he wasnt finching, former head coach Charlie Weis said of his quarterback afer the game. He had great compo- sure, he was having fun and he put us in a position to win the game. Two years later, trailing then No. 16 Oklahoma State 20-7 at halfime on October 11, Cummings led anoth- er Jayhawk comeback with three passes of 30 yards or more, but Tyreek Hills 99-yard kick-return sealed the seven-point win for the Cowboys. He brought what we want- ed out of that position, in- terim head coach Clint Bow- en said. Some leadership, some toughness, a guy that people could rally around. Rewind back to 2012 his freshman year again. Te Killeen, Texas, native took Kansas into double overtime at No. 25 Texas Tech, but came up just seven points short, 41-34. Cummings threw for two touchdown passes and rushed for 41 yards, including a key 44- yard scamper on fourth-and- three from the Jayhawks 36 yard-line in the late stages of the game. Tis past Saturday, Cum- mings raided Lubbock, Tex- as, with his best ofensive output of the season, com- pleting 20-of-32 passes for 235 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in the 34-21 loss. He added a one- yard plunge for a score with three seconds lef in the third quarter to trim the Texas Tech lead to six, 27-21. Dropped passes, both ofen- sively and defensively, haunt- ed the Jayhawks on the afer- noon, and kept the upset bid out of reach. But even with No. 12 Baylor, Iowa State, No. 10 TCU, No. 17 Oklaho- ma and No. 11 Kansas State coming up a daunting slew of games the ofense has to feel better with Cum- mings afer Montell Cozart averaged nine points per game against Duke, Central Michigan and Texas. Over the past two games, with Cummings taking the snaps, the Jayhawks have averaged 20.5 points per game. Game by game, Cummings is improving. His comple- tion percentage has endured a steady rise from 47.1 per- cent against West Virginia (in limited action) to 54.1 against Oklahoma State to 62.5 against Texas Tech. In that three-game stretch, his quarterback rating rose from 9 to 34.6 to 60.8. Montell Cozart seemed to be trend- ing in the opposite direction, completing 46 percent of his passes for 170 yards over the frst three games, and just 39 percent for 91 yards over his next two. Im always happy about Mike, Bowen said. Te guy competes. He plays hard. He has a presence about him- self that other guys can rally around. A Turner Gill recruit in the 2011 class, Cummings was kept on the sideline yet again in 2014 because Charlie Weis claimed that Cozart looked far and away the best quar- terback in practice. So far, Michael Cummings has looked far and away the better quarterback in games. Hes thrown for 56 percent to Cozarts 49.6, and aver- ages 6.75 yards per pass to Cozarts 5.54. Cummings ability to throw the ball down the feld with accuracy opens things up for the Kan- sas ofense. Out of high school, Cum- mings was not ofered a scholarship by a single Texas school despite throwing for 2,463 yards, 24 touchdowns and just seven interceptions his junior season. In his four major minutes against schools hailing from Texas Texas Tech (twice), Bay- lor, and Texas Cummings has lost by an average of just 12.75 points. Tats a tough situation there, Texas Tech coach Klif Kingsbury said afer the game on Saturday. Teir players played really hard, like weve seen all year and stayed in the football game. Bowen called his junior quarterback a junkyard dog. He will get up when hes knocked down and will be ready to fght. I had a stinger in my back, Cummings said afer getting tackled hard on a play. I wasnt going to stay out for long. So as soon as I was able to get up and walk of the feld, I wanted to get right back out there. If history has any say, Cum- mings will continue to keep Kansas in games. Te next step is fnding a way to fnish them.

From what the reports show, the Kentucky event blew the Kansas Late Night in the Phog out of the water. At frst glance, Kentucky had the star-power on its side. Kentucky coach John Calipari invited hip-hop star Drake to the event. He hosted the event similar to actor Rob Riggle hosted the 2013 Late Night. Drake sat in the flm session with the Kentucky players and the 2015 recruits. Drake dressed up in full Kentucky warm-up gear, and shot during the pregame with the team his frst shot was an air ball. Sad thing is, Drake matters because the recruits experi- ence is really the only aspect that means anything that night. If the recruits enjoyed the preseason, over-the-top, prep rally, then theres a greater chance they will attend that university. Twelve of the 16 recruits who visited Kansas for Late Night also attended Big Blue Madness. Te No. 2 recruit in the 2015 recruiting class, Stephen Zimmerman, was one of those 12 recruits who attended both Kentucky and Kansas presea- son event. One diference that Zimmerman and his mother said the Big Blue Madness had more local attention then Late Night. Zimmermans mother, Lori Stevens, said a lot of Kansas fans came up to her son asking for pictures and autographs during Late Night, but in Kentucky, hundreds of Ken- tucky fans gathered in hotel lobby where Zimmerman was staying, waiting for his picture or autograph. Te timing of the events was the diference between the turnout in Kentucky and Kansas. Te weekend of Late Night, Kansas fans had other things on their mind such as the Kansas City Royals and fall break. Most of Kansas students went home for the extended weekend, and a lot of students in Lawrence stayed home to watch the Royals play in Game 2 of the American League Championship Series against Baltimore. In 2013, Allen Fieldhouse had to turn fans away because of insufcient space. Tis year, Kansas couldnt fll the feldhouse, potentially hurting its recruiting eforts. Kansas benefted from the sold-out crowd last season as freshman guard and highly recruited talent Kelly Oubre committed to Kansas follow- ing his visit during Late Night last year. If recruiting doesnt turn out like Kansas Athletics wanted it, the program should make sure that Late Night in the Phog becomes a headlining event in Lawrence next year. It could be the diference between a top-5 recruit going to Kansas or Kentucky. Edited by Rob Pyatt THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN sports S WEEK OFF PAGE 11 Interim head coach Clint Bowen discusses upcoming bye week Afer dominating the American League in the postseason, the Royals are four victories away from winning the World Series. At least two of those victories would be played in Kaufman Stadium. Te Royals have not had a team this successful since the 1985 season, which might explain why many are willing to pay the increased ticket prices to make it to the game at Kaufman. As of Monday afernoon, the cheapest tick- et on StubHub.com is more than $500, and thats stand- ing room only. Im going to the frst game with my dad, said Will Shadwick, a sophomore from Salina. My dad bought them from a friend he knew for about $1,000. But while many students and their families chose to make the trip to Kaufman Stadium to take in a post- season game earlier in the playofs, the World Series has been a little diferent. Aside from winning the Royals lottery for tickets, seats can be expensive for the average student. Te cheapest tick- ets are more than twice as much as any other game in the postseason, which cost around $150 or $200, ac- cording to StubHub.com. Taking into account the high ticket prices, coupled with an increased parking fee, a World Series game would put a dent in students wallets. Te price has cer- tainly kept some students away, but it hasnt kept stu- dents from bonding over Royals baseball. I would love to go to the games, but I cant aford $500 tickets, said Garrett Farlow, a sophomore from Tecum- seh. Instead Ill watch with a big group of friends, just like the other postseason games. Many Royals fans on cam- pus are in a similar situation as Farlow, opting to surround themselves with friends and family rather than making the journey out to Kaufman, but it doesnt mean they are any less excited about the World Series. Im still pumped for the games, Farlow said. Wheth- er or not Im at the World Series, Im a Royals fan, and Im excited to see how they do against the Giants. While most students at the University of Kansas have yet to witness a World Series game in Kansas City, there are certainly plenty of peo- ple to talk to about the teams success 29 years ago. My dad went to the 1985 World Series, and he would always tell me stories about that, Shadwick said. Tis is the only team I have ever seen [go this far]. For the Royals, James Shields will be on the mound for Kansas City, looking to improve his postseason per- formance, where hes allowed 10 runs in 16 innings. Madison Bumgarner, who has been at the top of his game in recent weeks, will get the start for the Giants in the opener. With an ERA of 1.42 since the playofs began, Bumgarner is also tied for the lead in wins among Gi- ants pitchers. Te Giants have been near perfect in the postseason, going 8-2 while facing the best teams in the National League. Whether at the K or some- where else, it is certain many students will be watching as the Royals look to capture their second World Series ti- tle in the teams history. Game 1 begins on Tuesday at 7 p.m. at Kaufman Stadi- um.
