A Lawrence firefighter blasts water into a fire on 12th and Ohio

streets. No one was injured in the blaze, which gutted six apartments
on Wednesday.

Residents safe after

apartment building fire
The Red Cross and KU On Call
are working to provide living
accommodations and materials
for the six residents whose 1224
Ohio St. apartment building
caught fire Wednesday morning.
All six residents are accounted
for, but will not be allowed to
return to their apartments, said
James King, fire marshal and division chief of prevention for the
City of Lawrence.
The fire department first received the alarm at 11:57 a.m.,
and arrived within five minutes.
Upon their arrival, the first crew
saw smoke from the front of the
building, and then the second
crew saw smoke from the back.
Firefighters were able to enter the
apartment, take control of the fire

and call an all clear within about

15 minutes, King said.
No one was in the apartment
at the time of the event, King
said.
During the fire, a resident
tweeted their pet was in one of
the apartments that was on fire.
Someone at the scene recognized that tweet, and alerted
the crews, and we were able to
remove the pet safely from the
apartment, King said.
The pet was returned to its owner unharmed.
King said there was significant
damage to the structure, and an
investigation into the cause of
the fire is now underway. After the
investigation is complete, the fire
department will notify the public
of its findings.

Election reform, a historically contentious and hotly debated item within Student Senate,
began with the first two of four
bills passing with ease in committees Wednesday night.
Last years election process
began in February and lasted
until August of this year due
to the number of appeals and
complaints filed. The election
rules and decisions of the Election Commission also resulted
in the disqualification of an
entire coalition from the campaign and an additional election this fall.
Will Admussen, government
relations director, and Mitchell
Cota, chief of staff, presented
two bills and will present two
additional bills next week in
full Senate. The two bills propose edits to the wording of
different sections of the election code. Both bills passed
unanimously in the committees where they were heard.

JAMES HOYT/KANSAN

Will Admussen, government relations director, and Mitchell Cota, chief of staff, present a bill to the Student
Senate Rights Committee to reform parts of the Senate election campaign process. Two of the four bills presented passed in committees Wednesday night.
Cota said that election reform is a topic theyve been
discussing since this summer,
but wasnt a top priority at the
beginning of the year. He said
they didnt want to make it as
big of an issue this semester.
Cota said many of the chang-

es are small but can make a big

impact.
We just wanted to tweak the
rules, because the rules in general work, there were just some
little things that unfortunately had major consequences,
Cota said.

Next cycle, there will be bills

presented discussing campaign finances and sanctions.
Cota said he hopes to put more
checks and balances within the
system. Admussen had similar

count of aggravated sexual battery and one count of criminal restraint, according to the Douglas
county court record. He is accused
of sexually assaulting a female
classmate at a Lawrence residence on Nov. 10.
Sgt. Trent McKinley, spokesman
for the Lawrence Police Department, said officers were contacted
Tuesday by a woman who said she

was a victim of nonconsensual

sexual contact.
Colvin was arrested Tuesday
night on suspicion of aggravated
sexual battery and kidnapping,
according to Douglas County
booking records. McKinley said
the woman was not physically
harmed.
Colvin is not allowed any type of
contact with the victim. If he does

attend class, he is not allowed

to talk to her, according to Judge
James T. George.
On Wednesday afternoon, Colvin
was released from jail on $40,000
bond. Colvin will have his next
court appearance on Nov. 17 at
2 p.m.

Gay marriage

@kelcjen

Marriage licenses can now

be issued to same-sex couples in Sedgwick and Douglas counties after the U.S.
Supreme Court decided in
favor of same-sex marriage in
Kansas by denying a request
for a hold on Judge Crabtrees
court order from last week.
The decision was placed on
the Supreme Court after the
defense in the case, Marie v.
Moser, requested an emergency application for a stay,
or hold, on the court order
from Crabtree. The request
went to Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who is the circuit justice for the 10th Circuit, of
which Kansas belongs.
The application for stay
presented to Justice Sotomayor and by her referred to the
Court is denied. The order
heretofore entered by Justice
Sotomayor is vacated, reads
the order that was released
by the Court on Wednesday,
Nov. 12.
Crabtrees injunction was a
court order for court clerks in
Sedgwick and Douglas counties that says they cant deny
marriage licenses to same-sex
couples. This court order was
supposed to go into effect on
Tuesday, Nov. 11, but was put

Index

on hold when Sotomayor

granted the stay.
After Sotomayor granted
the stay to the defense on
Monday, she had given the
the plaintiffs, the American
Civil Liberties Union, who
filed the lawsuit, Marie v.
Moser, until 4 p.m. on Nov.
11 to respond to the stay.
IT IS ORDERED that the
preliminary injunction entered by the United State District Court for the District of
Kansas on November 4, 2014,
is hereby stayed pending receipt of a response, due on
or before Tuesday, November
11, 2014, by 5 p.m. ET, and
further order of the undersigned or of the Court, Sotomayor wrote in her order
signed on Monday.
The ACLU responded on
Tuesday before the deadline
and stated in its response that
the hold on the injunction
should be denied.
The public interest would
best be served by this Court
adhering to the consistent
practice it has followed since
it denied the petitions for certiorari on October 6, 2014,
and denying the application
for a stay pending appeal,
said the ACLU in its response.

University student expelled for 6 tweets

CASSIDY RITTER
@CassidyRittert

Navid Yeasin, a would-be

senior, was expelled from the
University halfway through
the semester last November.
In a hearing scheduled for
Nov. 17 at the Douglas County District Court House, Judge
Robert Fairchild will determine, or state whether more
time is needed to determine,
Yeasins enrollment status for
spring 2015.
Yeasin attempted to enroll in
classes this fall for spring 2015
twice but was denied, leading
to the hearing, Terry Leibold,
Yeasins lawyer, said.
A bad breakup that started
in the summer of 2013 led to
a no-contact order, Twitter
problems and ultimately, the
expulsion for Yeasin.
NO-CONTACT ORDER BEGINS
In Johnson County in summer 2013, an argument occurred between Yeasin and
his now ex-girlfriend after he
saw messages from another
man on her phone. The two
drove around arguing and she
asked Yeasin to let her out, but
he refused. He also refused to
return her phone.
She complained to the Johnson County police. Court
records show Yeasin was
charged with criminal restraint, battery and criminal
deprivation of property. To
resolve this incident, Yeasin
voluntarily entered a no-contact order, meaning he could
not contact his ex-girlfriend.
The judge who entered the
order ruled that it was entered
by consent with no findings of
abuse, Leibold said. In order
to comply with the no-contact order, Navid removed
the ex-girlfriend as a follower
of his tweets. His Twitter account was private and could
only be accessed by his followers.
Upon arrival to the Univer-

thoughts.
Its been our goal ever since
we got into office the first time
and then again especially
after the second time we got
into office, Admussen said.
You know, these rules arent
perfect they need to adapt every year, and we feel like the
improvements were making,
make elections more fair and
more transparent.
FIRST BILL: THE COMPLAINT
PROCESS
The first bill presented entailed changing the complaint
process during the duration of
elections.
Those running in the election can file complaints
against the opposing coalitions if they believe a violation
has been committed within Student Senate rules and
regulations. Complaints are
heard by the Elections Commission and if a candidate is
found in violation of a rule,
sanctions are implemented
by the Elections Commission,
resulting in possible disqualification.
The changes would force
complainants to submit com-

sity in the fall 2013, Yeasins

ex-girlfriend notified the
IOA of the summer incident.
This led IOA to issue its own
no-contact order, similar to
the order given in Johnson
County. Yeasin was, and is
still, not allowed to have direct and indirect contact with
his ex-girlfriend.
IOA issued the no-contact
letter because Yeasin had engaged in abusive and threatening behavior that made the
victim afraid to be on campus,
and he had continued to post
negative tweets about her,
which were causing her further distress and fear, Erinn
Barcomb-Peterson, director
of KU News Service, said in
an email.
Yeasin expressed anger and
frustration by tweeting about
the ex-girlfriend but did not
send the tweets to her or use
her name.
In addition, the tweets
were not threatening in any
manner, Leibold said. The
tweets made their way back to
the ex-girlfriend who told the
IOA about the tweets claiming
the tweets were in violation of
the no-contact order issued
by the IOAThe tweets were
no different than if Navid had
complained to his friends
about his ex-girlfriend and
whatever he said ultimately
reached the ex-girlfriend.
IOA met with Yeasin on
Sept. 6, 2013, and he was
told his tweets violated the
non-contact and anti-retaliation directive, according to
Barcomb-Peterson. The IOA
extended the no-contact order saying he was prohibited
from even talking about the
ex-girlfriend, including indirect contact via tweets. Leibold and Yeasin said this is a
violation of freedom of speech
granted by the First Amendment.
KU cant order somebody
to not talk about somebody
else, Leibold said. Its a con-

tent-based restriction and

thats a violation of the First
Amendment rights.
More tweets were made,
again not naming the ex-girlfriend. There are a total of six
tweets from Yeasins Twitter,
which the IOA said violated
the no-contact order, according to Leibold.

plete complaints and the

respondent has the right to
know the entirety of the complaint, 24 hours in advance,
so they have the ability to
prepare a defense. Admussen
said complaints should be
complete to avoid overly used
and frivolous complaints.
So you cant just say, They
violated this rule, turn it in,
they violated this rule, turn it
in. Thats an abuse, thats frivolous, Admussen said.
Admussen said he wanted
the changes to reflect a fair judicial process.
The bill also does not allow
for the introduction of new
evidence at the Elections
Commission hearing by those
presenting the complaint.
They have to turn in all infor-

mation and evidence with the

complaint.
You cant come up with a
surprise witness, because,
again, thats not adequate time
for the respondent to prepare
a defense, Admussen said.
Admussen said during last
years election the respondent
would not receive a copy of
the complaint before the hearing, just a notice that would
include the rule that was allegedly violated.
The bill would also make
it possible for the Elections
Commission to dismiss a
complaint by a two-thirds
vote if they feel the complaint
doesnt have probable cause
that the incidents actually occurred.

The rules are in place to

make sure that the University is safe, but I have to
question the people who are
enforcing the rules on what
theyre thinking.
NAVID YEASIN
Expelled student

THE FIRST HEARING

Last November, there was a
formal hearing with the IOA
to investigate the allegation
of sexual discrimination and
harassment, said Leibold. At
this hearing, an additional tweet was presented even
though the rules required
that each side present any evidence they are going to use
prior to the hearing.
A week after the hearing
with IOA, Yeasin received the
letter from the University expelling him.
Vice Provost Durham
found that Yeasins misconduct warranted expulsion because it violated: the University Sexual Harassment policy,
the No Contact directive and
the IOAs Sept. 6, 2013, clarifying letter, Barcomb-Peterson
said in an email.
Durham concluded Yeasins conduct was a threat of
danger to his ex-girlfriend,
interfered with her learning
and equal opportunity to participate and benefit from the
University all things Title
IX protects, Barcomb-Peter-

son said in an email.

The University expelled Yeasin under Article 19 of the
Student Code of Conduct
which reads, While on University premises or at University sponsored or supervised
events, or as required by city,
state, or federal law, students
and organizations are subject
to disciplinary action for violations of published policies,
rules and regulations of the
University of Regents, and for
the following offenses.
The offenses mentioned
include offenses against persons, property and orderly
process of the University,
along with offenses by an organization.
Because his conduct [the
tweets] occurred off-campus
and because the IOAs order
violated his free speech rights,
Navid filed an appeal with the
University Judicial Board in
December of 2013, Leibold
said.
The chairperson of the University Judicial Board dismissed Yeasins appeal in February 2014 without allowing it
to be heard by the full Judicial
Board. The chairperson stated
Yeasin failed to allege a proper ground for appeal, Leibold
said. This meant that Yeasin
was still expelled from the
University.
In March this year, Yeasin
filed a petition for judicial review of the Universitys action
with the Douglas County District Court.
ENROLLMENT ATTEMPTS
On Sept. 26, Douglas County District Court Judge Fairchild agreed with Yeasin that
the University didnt have
jurisdiction to discipline for
off-campus conduct. Judge
Fairchild ordered Yeasins expulsion be set aside and that
he should be allowed to enroll
for classes in spring 2015.
Yeasin attempted to enroll
two times and was denied

despite Judge Fairchilds decision. The University filed a

motion for Judge Fairchild to
reconsider his decision. The
University also ordered that
Judge Fairchilds decision
would not be in effect until
the post-judgment motions
and any appeals have been decided. This decision to reconsider will be heard Nov. 17.
Ive already done so much
for this University by being an
R.A. and doing Relay for Life
and being a summer C.A. for
them, Yeasin said. The fact
that they just dont care at all
about my rights, and the fact
that I havent done anything
wrong is really frustrating and
it seems like no matter what
we do they really dont care.
Its kind of discouraging.
The post-judgments for the
Nov. 17 hearing include Yeasins motion for order for
payment of transcripts and
to reimburse his tuition and
his motion for an order to
hold KU in contempt for not
allowing him to enroll, Leibold said in an email. The
Universitys motions are for
the judge to reconsider his
decision and for a stay of the
courts judgment pending the
motion for reconsideration
and any possible appeal, Leibold said in an email.
Yeasin is majoring in petroleum engineering, and the
University is the only school
in Kansas with the major. He
said he would like to put this
matter behind him so he can
return to class and graduate.
I understand they [the University] are under pressure
under Title IX to enforce their
rules, and Im in support of
that, but they have to do it between their own rules, Yeasin
said. The rules are in place to
make sure that the University
is safe, but I have to question
the people who are enforcing the rules on what theyre
thinking.

SECOND BILL: ELECTIONS

COMMISSION REDEFINED
The second election reform
bill detailed the roles of members of the Elections Commission. Cota presented the bill
and said he discussed possible
changes with last years Election Commission chair, Jake
Rapp, and he suggested several ideas.
The
proposed
changes
would create positions within
the commission, like an outreach chair and a secretary.
The Elections Commission
includes five members, and
they will now all have defined
positions. This bill also mandated that the commission
take minutes on all hearings,
something they didnt do in
the past.

Along with creating positions within the Elections

Commission, the bill also
removed one key criteria for
those allowed on the board.
In previous years, the rules
did not allow anyone who had
ever worked for Senate or had
been a senator in the past to
serve on the Elections Commission.
They removed this because
it is difficult to find those who
are qualified and understand
the senate rules and regulations that have never been associated with senate.
Cota also said they overturned the rule twice last year
to appoint the chair and another member who had been
senators about six years ago.

Daisy Hill halls to open

year-round from 2015-16
JAMES LAMB

MORE INFORMATION

@TheJamesLamb
For the 2015-16 academic
year and into the future, KU
Student Housing is planning
to provide greater options
for student accommodation
over breaks, such as opening
up Daisy Hill year-round for
students who choose to stay
there.
Traditionally, we have
had all residence halls and
scholarship halls close over
breaks, with the exception
of McCollum, said Jennifer
Wamelink, the associate
director for residence life
at KU Student Housing,
Next year, all residence
halls and all scholarship
halls will remain open over
Thanksgiving Break and
Spring Break. They will not
close. Students will not need
to sign up [to stay], they
wont need to pay extra, it
will just be included in the
contract.
Wamelink also said the
Daisy Hill residence halls
and Oliver Hall on Naismith
Drive will remain open for
Winter Break as well, giving
students an option to remain
on campus over the holiday
season.
Wamelink said students
will be able to stay over
Winter
Break
at
an
additional charge. She said
since scholarship halls, GSP
and Corbin close over the
break, students in those
communities can choose
to move into Oliver Hall
since it has rooms that
arent occupied, similar to
McCollum.
These
changes
are
driven by two factors.
The first is the closing of

PAGE 3A

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 2014

The 10 extra days residence and scholarship halls will be

open next semester for free are:

Thanksgiving: 4 extra days

Spring: 6 extra days.
Daisy Hill residence halls and Oliver Hall will be open 33
extra days for a cost. Oliver will be open over winter break
for students in scholarship halls.
McCollum Hall at the end
of the current academic
year, where students can
currently stay over breaks.
The second is the expected
increase in international
undergraduates, many of
whom live in residence halls
and may not have elsewhere
to go during these breaks.

Breaks are a time to spend

with family and go home and
take a break from school.
JUSTIN HEATON
McCollum RA

In particular, theres a
new program called the
KU Academic Accelerator
Program, Wamelink said.
Its a new program for
international
students,
and were expecting that
our international student
undergraduate [population]
will dramatically increase
over the next two years.
However, in order for these
changes to be effective, some
residence assistants in the
residence halls may need to
sacrifice their own breaks so
the halls remain staffed.
There would be an

opportunity for RAs to

preference which breaks
they would want to work,
but RAs would be working
over Thanksgiving Break,
Spring Break and Winter
Break, Wamelink said. Not
all of them at one time, but
some staff members would
be working over [those
breaks]. It would probably
not be an option to work
none of the breaks.
Currently, working breaks
is optional for RAs. Justin
Heaton, a senior from
St. Louis and a current
McCollum RA, said he
sees the change to making
working breaks mandatory
as unfair.
Breaks are a time to spend
with family and go home and
take a break from school,
he said. I dont think its in
our job description to have
to work breaks like that.
Theres going to be an issue
too with divvying it up fairly
because some RAs are going
to be having to work on the
holiday.

Earthquake shakes
parts of Kansas,
Oklahoma

walls and ground began shaking. It was earthquake he can

recall feeling.
It was a little spooky, Van
Allen said.
In Oklahoma, Andrea Hutchison was in a state Senate
committee room at the Capitol discussing property rights
issues with lawmakers and
others. I felt the earth move,
Hutchison, of Canton, Oklahoma, said.
Kansas began experiencing
an upsurge in earthquakes
starting in fall 2013. So far
in 2014, the state has experienced more than 90 earthquakes, with the smallest registering only on monitors, said
Interim Kansas Geological
Survey director Rex Buchanan.
Studies have shown earthquakes can be caused when
fluid, which is byproduct of
various methods of oil and gas
production, is injected into
disposal wells. But a panel
commissioned by Kansas Gov.
Sam Brownback found there
wasnt enough evidence to link
the Kansas quakes to oil and
gas exploration.

CONWAY SPRINGS An
earthquake with a preliminary
magnitude of 4.8 shook parts
of Kansas and Oklahoma on
Wednesday, the largest since a
series of temblors began rattling Kansas a little more than
a year ago.
The quakes epicenter was
near the town of Conway
Springs, about 25 miles southwest of Wichita, according to
the U.S. Geological Survey
said. It came at 3:40 p.m., less
than a day after a magnitude
2.6 earthquake was recorded
near the southern Kansas town
of Anthony.
Kansas Emergency Management spokeswoman Sharon
Watson said the only reported
damage was from an uprooted tree that cracked a homes
foundation. No damage was
reported in Oklahoma, said
Keli Cain, a spokeswoman
at the states Department of
Emergency Services.
Just 15 miles from the epicenter, farmer Scott Van Allen was taking a break with
a friend while remodeling his
garage in Clearwater when the

bridge construction
delayed

traffic on the bridge for buses.

The road will be open to all
vehicle traffic; however, the
changes were made specifically to maintain bus routes.
The University received approval from KDOT on Tuesday,
Young said. The next steps for
the project include finalizing
updates to the construction
drawings, followed by request
bids from the Universities oncall contractors.
The planned construction
is still scheduled to take between eight to 12 weeks to
complete, Young said.

Construction on Irving Hill

Road Bridge will likely be delayed until late January or early February, said Gavin Young,
assistant director of strategic
communications for the University.
Construction to improve the

Catcalling is not a compliment to women

By Victoria Calderon
@WriterVictoriaC

A CNN video segment

about catcalling and a video
by Hollaback!, an anti-street
harassment group, went viral
recently. Two different people
with polarized points of view,
Amanda Seales and Steve
Santagati, went head-to-head
about whether catcalling is an
acceptable form of speaking
to women. The verdict? Its
not.
The
Hollaback!
video
follows a woman through the
streets of New York as she
encounters random men who

shout things at her, like God

bless you mami, Hey baby
and How you doing? The
fact that these strangers feel
entitled to approach women
on the street and objectify
them is extremely insulting.
Not only does it show that
women are valued solely for
their physical appearance,
but it also makes for an
uncomfortable environment.
The atmosphere, especially
in big cities, tends to be more
oppressive for women.
In the CNN segment,
Santagati begins a heated
argument with Seales. He
claims women love to be

complimented in this way,

while stating men shouldnt
have to stop catcalling. He
even says women should learn
to stand up for themselves
instead of telling catcallers to
fix the problem.
the reality is that a lot
of women, when we leave
the house, we are not looking
for compliments. We are not
strolling the streets, waiting
like, Is anyone gonna notice
these pants today? Seales
said. Santagatis argument is
problematic, not only because
of his defense of catcallers, but
because his main evidence
is founded upon victim

blaming.
On our own campus, we
have problems with catcalling
that men clearly find to be
harmless or even funny.
For example, my roommate
and I were walking to our
hall one day when a guy
yelled at her, If your right
leg was Christmas and your
left leg was New Years,
could I visit you between
the holidays? While this
encounter was more stupid
than uncomfortable, Ive
had many other friends walk
around campus at night
who have men yelling out
obscene things about their

bodies. Although rare during

a typical day, it happens often
on weekend nights, especially
near the bars on 14th Street.
No matter how asinine or
childish the comment is,
catcalling can still create
a scary environment for a
woman walking alone on the
street. So if you see a woman
(or anybody) walking down
the street, and you think it
would be cool or amusing to
holla at them, dont.

Administrators misunderstand education

By Sebastian Schoneich
@ThingsSebiThink

Earlier this semester I wrote

a piece on some of the ways
college education is going
awry. From grade inflation,
extra
credit,
professors
succumbing to unjustified
student demands, etc., this
is producing a frightening
amount of graduates who
know little of what theyre
supposed to have learned.
Even worse, students are not
only OK with that they
desire it.
We are shaping the
education system in such a
way that we do not recognize
the value of receiving a
college education. With that
kind of mentality in place,
the following article I want

to respond to should not be

surprising news.
An article that appeared
in the Wall Street Journal on
Nov. 6, titled On B-School
Test, U.S. Cant Compete With
Asia reveals that more and
more Asians are getting into
American MBA programs
because of their higher
Graduate
Management
Admission Test scores. In
the quantitative skills section
of the exam, Asians average
45 out of 51 points, while
Americans are averaging a
mere 33. If trends hold, there
may soon be more Asians
than Americans in American
M.B.A. programs.
Why?
Because
Asians
are better prepared than
Americans for graduate
school,
especially
with

respect to their quantitative

reasoning skills. This doesnt
mean Americans are doing
things wrong it could very
well be that Asians focus too
much on quantitative skills,
while leaving other important
aspects of education out. But
this is not what I care to talk
about. The following sentence
in the article infuriates me:
In response [to the
decreasing academic quality
of
American
students],
admissions officers at U.S.
schools are seeking new ways
of measurement, to make U.S.
students look better.
Are they serious? Addressing
this issue by seeking new
ways of measurement can
also be read as admissions
officers at U.S. schools
are seeking to avoid the

problem. What this reveals is

a complete misunderstanding
of education on behalf of
education
administrators.
Those in charge of shaping
education policies fail to
recognize that the only way
to address the decreasing
competency of American
college graduates is to
critically
examine
the
American education system
itself not the tools used to
measure its efficacy.
It should be insulting to us
in fact, it is insulting that
instead of seeking to improve
the education system, those
in charge choose to hide its
insufficiencies behind false
notions of quality. Education
reform, thus, needs to be
addressed from two fronts:
On one side, both students

and professors need to step

up their game. On the other,
administrators and politicians
(those in charge) need to
remove obstacles in the
education system preventing
students and teachers from
maximizing their efforts. It
is clear to me that both sides
need to spend some time
thinking about the concept
of education itself. As a result,
the education system will
produce better students and
we wont even have to pretend
that they know what theyre
doing.

The Big Meal set to satisfy audiences

JAMES LAMB
@thejameslamb

This Friday night, KU Theatre will debut its latest show,

The Big Meal, on Stage Too!
in Murphy Hall. University students will take on the
roles of multiple characters
across several generations in
one family in this award-winning comedic drama from
acclaimed playwright Dan
LeFranc.
The Big Meal is [about]
a five-generation family set
in [Kansas], said Jacquelyn
OConnor, a sophomore from
Burlington who portrays Nicole, Maddie and Jackie at different points in the play. Its
a very heart-wrenching play,
but it has a little bit of comedy
in it. Its a great opportunity to
see something different. The
main thing is about family, so
I feel like a lot of people can
relate to it.
Kevin Siess, a senior from
Lawrence who will be playing

them and they were unintentionally hilarious. We would
have screening parties for our
friends.
By 2004, the duo had
amassed enough secondhand
material to change its shows
venue from a dorm to a theater. The setup of the show is
simple. Pickett and Prueher
take the stage and give the audience a guided tour through
selected videos.
We offer a running commentary,
Prueher
said.
Sometimes the videos speak
for themselves. Sometimes
well point out things that we
have noticed from watching
them dozens of times.
Prueher said one of the most
fun parts of the job is discovering new footage. When
the two arrive in a city to do
a show, they spend the day
scouting thrift stores for new
tapes. He said the two will go
digging, and will look to see
if there is anything that sticks
out or looks interesting.
By the end of a trip, Pickett
and Prueher have collected
quite an eclectic stack of dusty
VHS tapes.
The fun part is finding,
Prueher said. The hard part
is sitting down and locking
ourselves in an apartment and
trying to get through as much
[footage] as we can without
going nuts.
Pickett and Prueher look
for a couple of characteristics
when choosing new footage.
Prueher said a key quality is
that it has to be unintentionally funny.
Whatever its trying to do,
we have to be appreciating it
in a different way than was
intended, he said. We also
gravitate towards people who
have a lot of ambition even if
they dont have a lot of talent.
Theres something great about
that combination that makes
it very endearing and very entertaining.
Prueher said his favorite
clip changes, but the video he
most enjoys from the current
show is entitled How to Have
Cybersex on the Internet. He
said its an instructional video from 1997 that a company
from Minnesota made and
the video tried to be both sexy
and informational, but it ends
up being neither.
Its very confusing, he
said. Theres a young woman
whos teaching you how to get
a chat name and sign into a
chat room, and all of the sudden shes topless. Then all of
the sudden she has a modem
problem. Its incongruous and
odd and Ive never seen anything like it before.
The show celebrated its 10th
anniversary earlier this year
and Prueher said the show has
changed over the years. Now
that the two know there is an
audience behind the program,
they go to great lengths to find
the people behind the videos
they are sharing. Prueher said
they will fly out to interview
people and play the interviews
at the show.
We reunited two people

both Sam and Robbie, said the

play is done in such a way that
he thinks everybody can take
something away from it.
The issues that it deals with
are not just basic issues, but
theyre universal issues: life,
death, new family members,
conflict, avoidance, love, marriage, Siess said. There are so
many issues that are covered
in this play that everybodys
bound to relate to it in some
sense.
Though he said he agreed the
issues presented in the play
are important, Director Dr.
Peter Zazzali also said the distinctive way in which the play
is crafted is a key draw point.
In The Big Meal, characters
move from actor to actor, as
the character being portrayed
ages through the decades that
span the plays 90-minute run
time.
What makes this play particularly unique is its form,
the way its written, Zazzali
said.

He said there are nine actors,

and many of them play at least
one of the five different roles
that are repeated.
For example, there are a
couple of actors who play the
older track, so theyll play
the characters as theyre getting older, while conversely
there are a pair of actors that
play characters when theyre
younger, Zazzali said. Youll
be seeing the same character played by different actors
as that particular character
makes his or her way through
life.
Though the play is a comedic drama, those involved said
there are some serious and
dramatic moments within the
play that are heavily loaded
with emotion, which is something the actors found out
through the rehearsal process.
When you deal with tragedy
and death in life, a lot of people, and Im one of those, usually put those feelings down in
a place you dont want to ex-

plore that often, and through

this process, some of those
feelings Ive had from people
Ive lost in my family and tragedies that have occurred, they
kind of resurface, Siess said.
You dont want to let your
feelings overcome your character, but its almost impossible to explore some of those
emotions without having to
look at yourself and how you
dealt with them in your life,
and that can be scary.
The play will be presented on
Stage Too!, which refers to the
intimate configuration used
when the audience is also on
the stage. Zazzali said theater
is important to preserve within the community as it is one
of the last opportunities we

Johnny promote Christmas items in newly unearthed footage

Prueher: John and Johnny are two of the most obnoxious
home shopping hosts ever to appear on television. They are
so hyperactive on screen theyre constantly fumbling over
their words and dropping things. Its pure slapstick!

Marilyn Monroes
lost love letters
to be auctioned

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.

Its no secret Joe DiMaggio
loved Marilyn Monroe. The
baseball great cried at her
funeral and for 20 years had
flowers placed at her crypt
several times a week.
The public displays were
unusual for the famously
stoic and private DiMaggio.
Now, his heartbreak over the
breakup of their marriage
will get a rare public airing
when Marilyn Monroes
Lost Archives goes up for
bid at Juliens Auctions in
Beverly Hills next month.
I love you and want to be
with you, DiMaggio said in
one pained letter to Monroe
from the collection, written
when she announced she
was filing for divorce after
a matter of months in 1954.
There is nothing I would
like better than to restore
your confidence in me.
The 300 items also include
love letters from Monroes
third and final husband,
playwright Arthur Miller.
Theres also a handwritten
letter from Monroe to Miller in which the woman who
was arguably Hollywoods
greatest sex symbol muses
about her many insecurities.
DiMaggio wrote in his letter that he learned Monroe
was leaving him when he
saw her make the announcement on television.
My heart split even wider
seeing you cry in front of all
these people, he wrote in
the letter addressed to Mrs.
Joe DiMaggio and mailed
special delivery.
Other letters in the collection come from such friends
as Clark Gable, Cary Grant
and Jane Russell, the latter
imploring Monroe in 10
neatly handwritten pages to
give her marriage to DiMaggio another chance.
It really gives you the
chills when you read some of
the stuff and see the intimacy and the personal nature
of it, said auction curator
Martin Nolan, who spent
nine months organizing and
cataloging the collection.
Auction owner Darren
Julien estimates the pieces could fetch $1 million
or more, noting a watercolor Monroe painted and
planned to give to President John Kennedy went for
$80,000 at an estate auction
nine years ago. Monroes
collectability has skyrocketed in recent years, driven
in part by deep-pocketed
Asian and European collectors with a fondness for
American pop-culture artifacts, he said.

The fact that the centerpiece of this collection is not

just celebrity tchotchkes but
deeply personal artifacts is
also expected to fuel interest.
We anticipate a lot of
fans will be here. Theyll fly
in from all over the world,
said Julien, who will put the
items on display to the public at his Beverly Hills gallery
for four days before they go
on the block Dec. 5-6.
Monroe, who died of a
drug overdose at age 36 in
1962, willed The Lost Archives to her mentor, the
legendary acting coach Lee
Strasberg. He gave it to a
friend he trusted would take
proper care.
That friends family, which
Julien said wants to remain
anonymous, obviously met
Strasbergs
expectations.
Many of the letters look as
pristine as the day their authors wrote them.
Please, if Ive ever made
you cry or made you even
more sadder, ever for a second, please forgive me, my
perfect girl. I love you, Miller wrote in a pencil-scribbled P.S. at the bottom of a
typewritten letter.
In a reply to one of his
missives, Monroe takes issue with what the author of
Death of a Salesman had
called her nobility in handling a difficult childhood
followed by public adulation
that nearly crushed her.
In other words, there was
no choice to make, the same
road was always before me,
she wrote. So for you to
speak of my nobility, it really
wasnt so noble.
She went on to say: Its
doubly difficult to understand that you, the most
different, most beautiful
human being, chose me to
love.
Other items in the collection include a 19-minute reel
of a movie made for Monroe
after her final picture, 1961s
The Misfits, wrapped. It
shows her frolicking happily
at the beach with co-star Gable and others.
Notably, theres also a
framed letter she kept on her
coffee table from costume
designer Cecil Beaton, who
assured her she really was a
fine actress.
Its fantastic to see how
loved she was, Nolan said.
Like you thought she was
vulnerable and not loved
and she craved love and she
needed that reassurance. But
she had it. She had it with
Joe DiMaggio. She had it
with Arthur Miller.
And, so it seems, she still
has it with much of the rest
of the world.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas

Former President George
W. Bush said Tuesday that he
and his father believe Jeb Bush
should run for president but
ultimately the former Florida
governor must make a decision
regardless of any pressure from
the family.
I can tell you I can speak
for 41, Bush said, referring
to the 41st president, George
H.W. Bush, during the official
launch of the 43rd presidents
book at his dads presidential
library center at Texas A&M
University. He ought to run
for president. He would make
a great president.
We can pressure him all
we want, but its not going to
matter. ... You cant pressure
somebody on such an
important decision. Its not
going to cause him to think
positively or negatively if we all
continue to harass him. Only
he can decide.
With his father and mother a
few feet from him in the front
row of an auditorium filled
with a friendly audience of
several hundred people, Bush
was responding to questions
from Andrew Card, his fathers
transportation secretary and
his own White House chief
of staff, primarily about his
personal book 41: A Portrait
of My Father. The older Bush,
seated in a wheelchair, smiled
and waved but did not speak at
the event.
George W. Bush said he
didnt know of any timetable
for a decision, but said from
speaking with his brother he
knows Jeb Bush doesnt like
the idea of a political class.
The idea of Bush, Clinton,
Bush, Obama, Bush troubles
him, which speaks to his
great integrity, George W.
Bush said of the succession
of recent presidents. So I
said: How does this sound?
Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama,
Clinton, George W. Bush
added, referring to the
potential presidential run
of former Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton.
The point is you dont get to
pick the environment in which
you run.
The comments were his
most detailed to date about the
possibility of continuing the
Bush political dynasty. George
W. Bush said Sunday on CBS
that there was a 50-50 chance
Jeb would run. Jeb Bush was
not in attendance at the book
event Tuesday.
George W. Bush, 68, said he
wrote the book now while his
father, 90 and in fragile health,
was still alive and able to see
how much I care for him and
how much other people care
for him. He also said a favorable
reassessment of George H.W.
Bushs presidency is emerging,
despite it being a single term
and being overshadowed by
the two terms of predecessor
Ronald Reagan.
This is a love story. Its not
an objective analysis, he said
of the book. Its a story of an
extraordinary man, in my
judgment, the finest one-term
president our country has ever
had.
The book includes Bushs

take on his fathers early
failures in politics, his decision
to go to war with Iraq in 1991
and the 1992 re-election loss
to Bill Clinton. In the book,
he says his father seriously
considered not even running
for re-election, despite loving
his job, because he thought
holding the presidency had
placed son Neil under undue
legal scrutiny for his role as a
director of a large Coloradobased savings and loan that
failed in the late 1980s.
The book includes personal
anecdotes, including how the
elder Bush, described as a

family man first, struggled

with the death of daughter
Robin from leukemia in 1953
and how his dad sobbed at
the hospital nursery glass
following the birth six years
later of daughter Dorothy.
He
dismissed
Tuesday
as
psychobabble
any
suggestions of friction between
presidential
father
and
president son and credited his
dad with serving as an example
for when he got to the White
House.
You never know until you
get there, he said. He helped a
lot by checking in on occasion.

University prepares for campus concealed carry

MADDIE FARBER
@Maddie FarberUDK

The
University
has
recently completed building
assessments to prepare for the
implementation of concealed
carry on campus by 2017, said
Breeze Richardson, director
of communications for the
Kansas Board of Regents. There
are 199 buildings on campus,
according to KU Information.
In April 2013, Gov. Sam
Brownback signed into law
a measure to allow weapons
into public buildings that dont
have certain types of security
measures, such as metal
detectors or trained guards.
Kansas is now one of seven
states with provisions allowing
for concealed carry on public
college campuses, according
to the National Conference of
State Legislatures.
Although all six state
universities in Kansas were
granted a four-year exemption,
the Kansas Board of Regents
directed
universities
to
conduct building-by-building
assessments at their campuses.
Each university is examining
each building, assessing its
use(s), number of public
entrances, etc., Richardson
said. Any building in which
the university would like to
prohibit firearms will need
to have adequate security in
place, meaning metal detectors
and security guards on all
public entrances.
Stadiums and other athletic
facilities, dorms, childcare
centers and research labs
where flammable chemicals
are in use are some examples of
places where discussions have
been taking place regarding
what the best decision might
be, she said.
Unless the law changes, the
current exception from the
state law regarding concealed
carry will expire in 2017,

Richardson said. This would

mean that those with concealed
carry permits would be
allowed to carry their weapons
on university campuses after
that time. Richardson also said
building assessments are the
first step to making this law a
reality.
Coming out of assessments
[of buildings on campus]
there will be pretty serious
conversations about what
next steps will look like,
Richardson said. Unless the
law changes, we will have to
continue with conceal and
carry on campuses.

I think that I would trust

whoever had a permit, but
its just kind of strange to
know that there are guns
around me.
SARAH MILLER
Senior from Olathe

Richardson said all six state

universities will present their
annual safety reports to the
Governance Committee of the
Board of Regents this month
through January. However, this
year is different because reports
will include a building audit
that was conducted in order
to better understand what the
security of these buildings
looks like. The presentations
will be completed in February,
she said.
There is the possibility that
the Board of Regents could
appeal to the state legislature
regarding the permanent
exemption of certain types
of buildings, but no decision
to do so has been made at
this time, Richardson said.
Learning more about our
850-plus buildings across the
six campuses and their uses is
where the process is at now.

PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY GEORGE MULLINIX

According to the Kansas Board of Regents, University building assessments were recently completed to prepare for concealed carry on campus by 2017.
As director of state relations
at the University, Lindsey
Douglas said her role in
this process is to continue
monitoring
changes
to
state statutes and educating
lawmakers on the effect this
legislation will have on the
University.
Douglas said with the
potential for concealed carry,
funding for metal detectors
and personnel has come into
question.
At this time, no state
funding has been appropriated
to fund additional security
measures
for
university
buildings, Douglas said.

Once recommendations and

plans for implementation
are finalized, funding for
improvements will have to be
identified.
For many University students,
the thought of firearms allowed
on campus is unsettling. This
is not unusual, considering
in 2013 there were at least 27
shootings on or near college
campuses around the nation,
according to a Huffington
Post article from January.
Eighteen people were reported
dead due to the shootings and
many others were injured, the
Huffington Post reported.
The thought of concealed

carry permits on campus

creates mixed emotions for
Sarah Miller, a senior from
Olathe.
I think that I would trust
whoever had a permit, but its
just kind of strange to know
that there are guns around me,
Miller said.
For other students like
Sam Benson, a junior from
Overland Park, the issue seems
to be more black and white.
I think allowing concealed
carry on campus is a poor idea,
Benson said. Students and
staff would be overly aware of
the fact that potentially anyone
possesses a deadly weapon. On

a college campus especially

on a college campus that will
be detrimental to the perceived
safety of everyone studying
and working there.
On the concern for safety,
Richardson said, As the
governing board of the
university, the Board of
Regents is an active participant
in the conversation regarding
campus safety.
With more on-campus safety
regarding concealed carry, the
University Office of Public
Safety was not available for
comment at this time.

Students make blankets for

Lawrence Community Shelter
MINSEON KIM
@MinseonKim94

Blanketing the Community

is an annual program at the
University, where students
living in residence halls make
fleece blankets for the Lawrence
Community Shelter. Students
will make blankets and have
snacks at the Hashinger
Hall Theater and Crawford
Community Center on Sunday
from 6 to 9 p.m.
This year, the Concerned,
Active and Aware Students
program from the Center
for Community Outreach is
restarting the partnership with
the KU National Residence
Hall Honorary that organized
last years event. Materials and
instructions for blankets will be
provided, and all blankets will
be transferred and distributed
at the Lawrence Community
Shelter.
Cody Christensen, CAAS
student coordinator and a
sophomore from Topeka, said
homelessness isnt an abstract
issue in Lawrence, and serving
as a CAAS coordinator came as
an opportunity for him to give
back to the community.
I realized about the social
inequalities that exist in
Douglas County and after
reading the data on paper, I
really wanted to see this issue
firsthand to see if I could
make a difference in solving
it or help contribute to at least
minimizing the problem,
Christensen said. I think
volunteering is a great way we
can, that KU as a whole, can
really benefit Douglas County.
During the weekly CAAS
volunteering,
Christensen
found out about the major
shortage of blankets at the local
shelter and worked with his co-

coordinator Abby Schletzbaum
to organize this program.
Mia Gonzalez, director of
development and marketing
at the Lawrence Community
Shelter, said with 140 people in
the shelter every day, blanket
donations are a big help to the
shelter.
We are unable to purchase
our own blankets, Gonzalez
said. We are always in need
of blankets all year round. But
now that its winter, its colder in
general so we have more people
and we run out of supplies.
The Lawrence Community
Shelter is the only 24/7
emergency homeless shelter
serving Douglas County, and it
provides various programs for
families and help for finding
employment. With its move to
a new location, 3655 E. 25th St.,
it is able to hold twice as many
families, but also needs more
blankets for permanent and
overnight residents.

CAAS will donate the

blankets after the event next
week during its regular weekly
volunteering at the Lawrence
Community Shelter. No signups are required, and ride
requests are available at the
Kansas Union at 3:45 p.m for
students to get to the shelter.
Makalya Reed, a freshman
from Stockton, is a regular
volunteer for CAAS and said
she is looking forward to
meeting other service-minded
students at the event. Reed is
also donating 45 additional
quilts her mom made.
My mom has been making
charity quilts for as long as I
can remember, Reed said. She
sends them to Denver, Kansas
City, Mo., places with large
homeless populations because
the quilts provide comfort and
a lot of the times, they provide a
lot of warmth, especially during
these months.
Reed also said volunteering

can teach college students life

lessons that classes cannot
teach.
It makes us more aware of
those around us, Reed said.
We cant really be aware of the
human condition unless we
go out and see people who are
experiencing difficulties or just
come from different walks of
life. I think volunteering really
allows people to do that.
Volunteering weekly at the
Lawrence Community shelter,
Reed said she loves spending
time with kids there.
I just really like volunteering
with people, Reed said. I guess
Ive been always volunteering,
and I got the spirit from
watching my mom make the
quilts and helping her out. Ive
always looked up to her for
doing that, and I am glad that
I can help her out spreading the
quilts around more.

Higher education is one

part of the state budget
facing
potential
cuts
because of a $279 million
shortfall.
The November consensus
revenue estimate, which
is created by legislative
researchers and university
economists, indicates a
$279 million gap between
projected revenues and
approved expenditures in
the Kansas budget. This
gap has to be made up by
June 30 because the state is
constitutionally prohibited
from ending the fiscal year
with a deficit.

We just have to make

better use of the resources
we already have.
DAVE TRABERT
Kansas Policy Institute

Annie McKay, executive

director of Kansas Center
for Economic Growth, said
she believes this will be the
primary issue dealt with in
the upcoming legislative
session. Options to make
up the money could include
transfers of money out
of highway department
reserves, budget cuts and
seizing of other efficiencies
or
savings
of
state
departments.

To
absorb
those
reductions mid-year is
really challenging, McKay
said. They have contracts
in place. They have
personnel. They have wages
they have to pay. They have
benefits. They have to keep
the lights on.
Dave Trabert, president
of the Kansas Policy
Institute said the highway
department and other
departments
have
unnecessary excess cash
reserves that could be
dipped into to fill up the
hole. He went on to say that
if departments statewide
were to operate more
efficiently, the gap could be
filled easily.
The plan has always been
laid out there that it can
be done without reducing
services or a tax increase,
he said. We just have to
make better use of the
resources we already have.
However, Duane Goossen,
former budget director for
the state, said dipping into
cash reserves would be only
a temporary fix. He said the
real solution is to reverse
tax cuts implemented in
2012 and 2013.
Another possibility that
might be used would be to
take money from the state
highway fund, he said.
That might be a solution
a temporary solution for
this year, but that doesnt fix
things next year.

relations, cultural phobias

and social solidarity. He also
described how epidemics can
challenge core values of people.
Part of what an epidemic
does is it tests our humanity,
Obadare said.
He said there are currently
more Liberian doctors in the
United States than in Liberia,
one of the countries most affected by Ebola.

@derek_skillett

Wednesday night, students

and spectators listened to
University professors discuss
the different facets of the
Ebola crisis, such as societal
implications, psychological
factors and an insight into the
spread of the virus.
The panel, called The Ebola
Outbreak in Wider Perspective, was sponsored by the
Universitys Kansas African
Studies Center. The discussion took place in the Malott
Room of the Kansas Union
and was open to the public.
I saw a billboard advertising [the panel] in Wescoe or
Strong. I wanted to see what
they would talk about, said
Nestine Olidan, a freshman
from Junction City. Im not
sure how [Ebola] spreads and
I want to get more educated
on it.
Olidan said people should
be aware of the correct information about Ebola.
Ebenezer Obadare, an associate professor of sociology,
discussed the societal implications of the crisis. Glenn
Adams, an associate professor
of psychology, discussed the
different psychological factors that have made the Ebola crisis a complicated issue.
And Sandra Gray, an associate professor of anthropology,
discussed how the virus was
able to spread through Africa.
Obadare, who was the first
of the three professors to
speak, talked about the socioeconomic aspects surrounding the Ebola outbreak.
Obadare said epidemics can
reveal several details about
a particular society, such as
gender relations, division of
power, religious beliefs, class

These little perspective

judgments that we make,
especially in the United
States, are inflected with
fear, ignorance or racism.
GLENN ADAMS
Associate professor

Obadare closed his presentation by talking about the

ways people who are living in
the countries affected by Ebola tell jokes about the virus.
The jokes are important
because in places where people face the worst forms of
degradation, jokes are the
only things left for people to
recuperate basic humanity,
Obadare said.
Gray talked about tracing
the spread of the Ebola virus.
Gray said the virus was largely concentrated in rainforests
in the Western Congo region
and the first outbreak of the
virus occurred in the Ebola
River in 1976. Gray said the
virus was able to be spread
through refugees and groups
of people moving westward
through the rainforest.
Gray also said the virus has
been spread by people eating
infected animals in the rain-

forest.
There has been sustained
global disengagement in this
region since the Rwandan
genocide of 1994. The disengagement has paid off in a
major way in an outbreak that
also is manifesting global disengagement, Gray said.
Adams, the last panelist to
speak, had a presentation
which focused on the psychological factors that have
emerged from the outbreak.
Adams said people in West
Africa are suspicious of international aid workers who
arrive with health campaigns.
Adams said factors such as
fear and irrationality cause
some people to get in the
way of actually helping other people. Adams referred to
something called the compassion gap, which refers to
the amount of time between
which an event occurs and
when people care enough to
take action.
These little perspective
judgments that we make, especially in the United States,
are inflected with fear, ignorance or racism. This seems
to be another one of those
cases, said Adams.
Jordan Fisher, a senior from
Hays, said she was inspired to
attend the panel after hearing
Adams, her cultural psychology teacher, mention it. Fisher said she thinks Ebola is an
important topic of discussion
because it is a huge issue right
now.
People should know what
to do if it becomes an issue in
our area, Fisher said.

European Fireball recall little threat in U.S.

RILEY MORTENSEN
@RileyMortensen

The
European
Fireball
whiskey recall sent social media
spheres into a frenzy just over
two weeks ago after reports
that the North American
version had been sent on
accident and contained higher
levels of propylene glycol, an
ingredient commonly found in
antifreeze, than Scandinavian
countries allow.
Propylene glycol had been
approved by the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration
since 1973, according to the
FDAs access data website, and
deemed safe for consumption;
however, Finland, Sweden
and Norway say the European
Fireball whiskey contains
higher percentages of the
chemical
than
European
regulations allow.
Tama Sawyer, the director of
Poison Control Center at the
University of Kansas Hospital,
said ingestion of propylene
glycol is almost non-toxic.
Its used in medicines all
the time, Sawyer said. Worst
case, if youre drinking straight
propylene glycol, which youre
not going to drink, it could
cause some diarrhea.
Sawyer said she is unsure
why Norway, Sweden and
Finland would ban the drink.
The alcohol is probably the
deadliest thing in the drink,
and everybodys fully aware
that it contains alcohol,
Sawyer said.
Jakob Langberg Vingren,
an associate professor at the
University of North Texas, said
this is simply a case where the
cut-off limit in Europe is much
lower than that of the U.S.

include the effects of alcohol

Dangling window washers rescued from World Trade Center

ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK
Two
window washers were trapped
on a dangling scaffold nearly
70 stories up the new 1 World
Trade Center tower for nearly
two hours on Wednesday
before firefighters sawed
through a thick double-paned
window to reach them.
The
dramatic
rescue,
coming a little more than a
week after the nations tallest
building officially opened,
was followed by throngs of
New Yorkers on the ground
and many more around the
world watching on live TV.
It was unclear whether the
scaffold had been used on
the 1,776-foot, 104-story
skyscraper before or whether
anything about the buildings
design complicates working
a scaffold there. Officials
stressed
that
firefighters
had trained for various
emergencies at the tower,
the centerpiece of the rebuilt

World Trade Center.

The window washers, Juan
Lizama and Juan Lopez,
were working on the lower
Manhattan buildings south
side at around 12:40 p.m.
when one of the platforms
four cables abruptly developed
slack, Fire Commissioner
Daniel Nigro said. The opentopped platform tilted sharply
and swayed slightly in the
wind between the 68th and
69th floors, he said.
It suddenly went from
horizontal to nearly vertical,
he said.
Indeed, a fire department
photo shot from inside
the building shows the
scaffold platform hanging
precipitously, with the Statue
of Liberty appearing tiny in
the distance.
Officials havent determined
what caused the cable
problem. The cables are
controlled from the scaffold
vehicle, the fire commissioner
said.

About
100
firefighters
rushed to the skyscraper,
some of them lowering ropes
from the roof so the workers
could secure themselves and
a two-way radio for them to
communicate, Nigro said. The
workers also were harnessed
to the platform.
Firefighters
first
used
diamond cutters to saw
through part of a two-layered,
inch-thick glass window on
the 68th floor, which is still
under construction. They
shattered the thick glass in
place, then carefully pulled
the broken pieces into the
building.
Firefighters also began
inching another scaffold
down the building as a backup
rescue plan, but they were able
to bring the workers to safety
through the roughly 4-by-8foot window hole by 2:30 p.m.
It
was
a
fairly
straightforward operation,

Jardin, who oversees the

operations.
Mayor Bill de Blasio
praised rescuers for great
coordination.
Firefighters generally seek

to cut out windows to make

such rescues, but Nigro noted
the trade centers thick glass: a
double-paned inner layer and
an outer pane.
And, of course, they were

68 stories up, he said. That

presented a little bit more of a
challenge.
Lizama and Lopez were
checked out at a hospital and
were released.
Their

Union Local 32BJ, said it

rigorous safety protocols.
Workers are offered the
training they need to be safe
every day and in the event of
an accident, President Hector
Figueroa said in a statement.
During the rescue, people
on the ground were moved

flying.

and construction workers
streamed onto a nearby street,
their necks craning to watch
the scaffold as it waved in the

Arctic chill settles across Upper Midwest, Rockies

ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT The Arctic
chill is gripping the Rockies
and Upper Midwest and its
crawling east.
Sharp drops in temperature
are expected in other parts of
the U.S. in the coming days,
thanks to a powerful weather
system that hit Alaska with
hurricane-force winds over
the weekend before blanketing
several states in snow.
THE LINGERING COLD
Dangerously cold weather
was expected to linger until
Thursday in eastern Montana,
where temperatures could
reach as low as negative 30 degrees. Denvers high was only
was 5 degrees on Wednesday,
a day after the snow-covered
city broke a nearly century-old
record for the lowest temperature ever recorded on a Nov.
11.
The frigid air was expected to
crawl into the Appalachians,
mid-South and the East Coast
by Thursday. Forecasters have
issued freeze and cold-weather
warnings across parts of Texas,
Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.
In Billings, Montana, where
temperatures fell from the
high 60s into the single digits on Tuesday, Patsy Kimmel
said she was warned about the
weather before arriving from
Oklahoma to celebrate her
70th birthday with family.
Yesterday I was wearing sandals and a short-sleeve shirt,
and today Im wearing a coat
and scarf and turtleneck and
sweatshirt and gloves, she
said.
Temperatures fell more than
30 degrees overnight in northern Illinois, from a high of 58
on Tuesday to 26 degrees on
Wednesday. Similar swings hit
Oklahoma City, where temperatures went from 80 degrees Monday to a low of 30 on
Tuesday.
In the Dakotas, wind chills
made it feel like 20 below in
some places. But that was good
news for Action Mechanical
Inc. of Rapid City, South Dakota, a heating and ventilation
business that was doing booming trade.
Bang! We get this arctic
blast, and it just opens the
floodgates, said John Hammond Jr., a department head.
Were behind right now as
were sitting here talking.
SNOW, SNOW AND MORE SNOW
Parts of Michigans Upper
Peninsula were buried in
more than 3 feet of snow on
Wednesday, with more snow
forecast through the weekend,
along with temperatures that
dipped in the 20s and 30s. Up
to 18 inches fell in northern
Wisconsin, while parts of central Minnesota saw more than
16 inches of snow.
Many roads were snow-covered and slippery Wednesday
in the Upper Peninsula, where
residents are accustomed to
snowy conditions. Of his drive

into work, National Weather

Service meteorologist Justin
Titus said that roads were just
rutted out and kind of felt like
you were driving over a washboard.
DONT BLAME THE POLAR
VORTEX
Meteorologists are adamant
the weather isnt because of
the polar vortex, a giant upper
air pattern that normally pens
in cold air in the Arctic in the
winter. Instead, they say its
being pushed in by a different
weather phenomenon more
related to the remnants of a
powerful typhoon.
The polar vortex itself has
not moved south. Its still in
the Arctic where it always is,
said National Weather Service
spokeswoman Susan Buchanan.
Whatever the case, the cold
is expected to linger. Some
regions will go from record
warm to record cold in just
two days, with temperatures
dropping 15 to 20 degrees below normal on the East Coast
Friday and Saturday. Freezing
temperatures will likely dip as
far south as Atlanta on Friday,
said Jeff Masters, meteorology
director of the Weather Underground.

Grewing said her students

cherished snow days are now a
thing of the past.
This is what we will be doing every single snow day going forward, she said. Ill be
honest. There has been some
grumbling.
Private schools such as Cathedral, as well as some public
school districts nationwide,
are starting to use the flexibility that technology provides to
meet school mandates without
needing makeup days when
bad weather keeps students at
home.
Cathedral senior Tommy
Auger said doing classwork at
home using his school-provided MacBook Air didnt feel
very different to a day in class.
Once they got over the initial
disappointment of missing a
snow day off, Auger said he
and his classmates agreed they
would rather skip a day of sledding than make up the missed
school days in the summer.
Its hard to think ahead, but
its definitely better, he said.

SNOW DAY DREAMS DASHED

The early wintry weather in
the Midwest gave Principal
Lynn Grewing an opportunity
to test a virtual classroom: She
asked students of St. Cloud Cathedral high school in central
Minnesota to work from home
using laptops or iPads.

GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN

Previously reserved for student seating, section U in Allen Fieldhouse is now a section for Williams Education Fund donors. Originally said to be reallocated, KU Athletics recently announced that the seats were removed entirely.

STUDENT SECTION
120 fieldhouse student seats, previously said to be reallocated, permanently cut for donors in section U

KYLE PAPPAS
@KylePap

The Kansas basketball student section has long been

considered among the best
in the nation. It won the Naismith Student Section of the
Year award in 2012 and played
a major part in NCAA.com
naming Allen Fieldhouse the
loudest and most intimidating
arena in the nation last December.
But that section has taken a
bit of a hit this year, following a
decision made by Kansas Athletics to permanently ax 120
student seats.
Some of Kansas students
most valued space in section U, which is adjacent to
the Jayhawks bench, became
available to University donors
this summer after a Student
Senate proposal to remove
the required $50 athletics fee
that all students pay each year.
Though the total elimination
of the fee was eventually vetoed by KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little, it was still
reduced to only $7 per student
the lowest fee of any university in Kansas.
In an attempt to recoup as
much lost revenue as possible,
the Athletics Department reallocated the student seating in
section U to wealthy donors.
CHANGE IN PLANS
Initially, those 120 seats were
set to simply be moved an alternate area that Associate
Athletic Director Jim Marchiony described as, near where
the students are now that may
have been sold as General Admission in the past. But in a
recent change of events, the
department decided to permanently cut the seats from the

remaining student section.

Student Body President
Morgan Said said the Student
Senate originally raised the
issue because it felt students
shouldnt be required to pay
an athletic fee to help keep
Kansas Athletics federally
compliant with Title IX regulations. She also said she was
unaware athletics would respond to the reduction in the
fee by taking section U away
from the students.
With a 7-percent increase in
its budget this year, Athletics
projects $84.2 million in revenue, according to Said.
Its unfortunate that Kansas
Athletics deemed it necessary
to eliminate some of the best
student seats in the Fieldhouse
to compensate for the minor
cut in student fees, she said.
The student fee cut was a very
small fraction of the overall
budget.
The decision to do away with
student seating in section U
has upset many students who
consider the seats to be among
the top that were accessible to
them.
Its the only part of the student section that sits courtside
and closest to the court, said
Luke Miller, a senior from
Wichita. In my opinion, they
were the best seats available to
us.
Marchiony said the athletics department is aware of the
student response, saying the
reaction has been about what
we expected. He also noted
that the department stands to
lose approximately $350,000
from the reduction of the fee;
he expects itll regain roughly
$180,000 of that back by making section U available to donors.
The move to reallocate the

student seats was in lieu of several other options that Kansas

Athletics discussed one of
which was drastically raising
the price of the student sports
package. Even with the ultimate decision to give donors
seating in section U, the AllSports Combo still increased
from $150 to $175 this semester.
The way to try to recover as
much revenue as we could, by
affecting the fewest number of
people was to do it this way,
Marchiony said. We essentially affected 120 people, and that
was the fewest amount of peo-

announcement that the seats

would no longer be designated
from students, donors showed
significant interest. Marchiony
said it didnt take long for the
section to sell out.
The section filled up quickly, he said. As soon as the donors knew it was going to be
available, there were requests
for seats. Within weeks, there
were enough requests to fill the
section.

excited to have the opportunity to grab some of the newly

ple we could affect by doing

anything. And so, thats what
we did.
PLEASING THE DONORS
Beginning in early June, section U became officially available to Williams Education
Fund donors. The fund, composed of various Kansas alumni and fans, raises around $18
million for KU student-athletes each year. While most
priority seating for Williams
Fund donors bases off of lifetime donations, section U
works a bit differently. In order
to encourage contributions in
the short-term, Athletics only
took donors current amount
of giving into consideration
when determining who had
priority.
The initiative succeeded.
Immediately following the

LUKE MILLER
Senior from Wichita
available seats.
We were just right up in the
other corner, just beside the
band, he said. They werent
bad seats, but obviously [section U] is a much better deal.
NOBODY TURNED AWAY?
Even with the reallocation of
section U seating, Marchiony
stressed that no student who
wants to get into a Jayhawks
home game will be denied that
chance.
I think the key point is to
make sure that people understand that every student who
wants to attend a game will get
into the game, he said. Were
committed to that because we
think the students are the main
reason why Allen Fieldhouse
is such a great place to watch a
basketball game.
Its a slightly different nar-

rative than the one given on

Kansas website, which still
states the All-Sports Combo
ensures all students entrance
to football games but does
NOT necessarily guarantee
admission to mens basketball.
Said said shes interested to
see how exactly the department plans on admitting all
students.
Athletics has indicated that
no students will be turned
away from the games, so Im
still on the hunt as to how that
is, she said. If theres a sell out
and theres a student excess,
where do those students sit?
And thats the question that I
dont yet have an answer to.
Its an issue that other universities have struggled with
as well. UCLAs Den Pass
is the equivalent of Kansas
All-Sports Combo and allows
students entry to the Bruins
six home football games and
18 home basketball games for
$129. UCLA Sports Information Director Liza David said
its athletics department is
generally able to accommodate all students who want to
attend a basketball game, but
if theres a significant overage,
seating is on a first-come firstserved basis.
ITS NOT ALL BAD
Prior to the reduction, Kansas athletics annual revenue
from student fees was approximately $1.1 million (just over 1
percent of its overall income),
the fourth-lowest in the Big
12. In contrast, West Virginia
rakes in the most in the conference, $4.3 million, while the
University of Texas and University of Oklahoma have done
away with the fees entirely.
Despite the elimination of
student seating in Section U,

Allen Fieldhouse actually remains among the more student-friendly venues in college
basketball.
Roughly 4,000 seats are
available to Kansas students
for every home game nearly
a quarter of all available seating. Conversely, UCLAs Pauley Pavilion holds only 1,800
students (14 percent of total
capacity) and Dukes Cameron Indoor has been said to
support around 1,600 (17 percent).

ATMOSPHERIC CHANGES?
Still, students such as Miller
have expressed concern over
how the change could have a
detrimental effect on the atmosphere inside the Phog.
Of course it will affect the
atmosphere. Youre replacing
young, loud students with an
older crowd that just doesnt
have the same enthusiasm, he
said. There are other ways to
bring in revenue without taking from the students that pay
thousands of dollars a year to
attend.

FUTURE OUTLOOK
The department may consider other options eventually;
Marchiony said that itll assess
the situation again at the end
of this year. But for now, theres
no intention to give section U
back to students in the near
future.
Well probably take a look at
it every year, Marchiony said.
Right now, there are no plans
to change whats there. Its
something well look at yearby-year.

THE MORNING BREW

One win shouldnt guarantee Bowen head coaching job

ivisto Field was overwhelmed

with adrenaline after the
Jayhawks defeated Iowa State
34-14 last Saturday. Students stormed
the field, tore down a goal post and
threw it into Potter Lake. Coaches,
players and fans were feeling pretty
good about Kansas football as they left
the stadium.
But, as exciting as it was, beating
Iowa State, a 2-6 team with no conference wins, isnt something we should
feel good about. Beating Iowa State
is something we should expect. And
while the victory looks really good for
Bowen, it shouldnt automatically lock
in his job as head coach in the future.
We need to have higher expectations
than that.
Dont forget that just two weeks
ago, the Jayhawks were demolished
by No. 6 Baylor, losing 14-60. And

By Paige Stingley
@paigestingley

the week before that, the Jayhawks

were defeated handily 21-34 against
unranked Texas Tech. Aside from the
win this past weekend, the only other
game Kansas actually had a chance in
was Bowens first home game as coach
against Oklahoma State. The Jayhawks
stayed in the game all the way until
the fourth quarter when the Cowboys
pulled ahead to win by a touchdown.
The real test for Bowen will come
this Saturday when Kansas plays TCU
in its last home game of the season.
If Bowen can beat the Horned Frogs,
ranked fourth in the country, then
the job is his. But if we get blown out
again, then Bowen isnt the right guy
for this program.

Seems like a tall order, yes.

But we as fans need to stop
settling for mediocre coaching. That leads to a sub-par
football team. Good coaching will get us a mediocre
football team. But if we are
looking for a great football
team, we are going to need a
top-notch coach, with previous head coaching experience, who
can turn this team around fast. So far,
Bowen hasnt proven to be that guy.
The best way for Bowen to prove
himself is going to be beating TCU
this weekend. It would be a huge
victory that would certainly constitute
taking down the goal posts. It would
be a victory worthy of making ESPNs
Top Plays of the Week. It would prove
to the players, the fans and the athletic
director that Bowen is the guy whos

going to make a
difference in this
program.
We need to keep
our options open. Yes,
Bowen may love the
Jayhawks more than anyone else, and the fact that
hes from Lawrence and
played football at Kansas is
heartwarming, but fans arent
looking for a fairytale ending. Fans are
looking for victories.
Weve seen a conference win and
we know how it feels. Now we need
to move on and move up in our expectations for this team. We have the
talent and the potential; the only thing
missing is the right coaching staff.

Shepherd leads 21 seniors into last home game

STELLA LIANG
@Stelly_Liang

While not the end of the

Kansas (3-6, 1-5 Big 12)
football season, this Saturdays
game against TCU (8-1, 5-1)
has a sense of finality. Twentyone seniors will be honored
before the 2 p.m. game, as the
matchup marks Senior Day
and the last home game for the
Jayhawks.
Many mainstays on the team,
like linebacker Ben Heeney,
tight end Jimmay Mundine
and running back Tony
Pierson, will be playing in their
final home game, and interim
coach Clint Bowen said Senior
Day is always emotional and
different from other games.
Were going to handle it in
a different way in that we are
going to make sure that we
show the amount of respect
and appreciation to these
guys, Bowen said. Ill never
forget my senior last game
and those types of deals. Its
emotional.

One of those seniors is

cornerback JaCorey Shepherd,
who is one of 10 finalists for
the Senior CLASS award.
According to their website,
the award is an acronym
for Celebrating Loyalty and
Achievement for Staying in
School, and honors a senior
who excels not only on the
field, but also off it.
According
to
Kansas
Athletics, Shepherd volunteers
in many capacities, including
with the Big Brothers Big
Sisters program and by
mentoring
elementary-age
kids. He has also had success
on the field; he leads the
team and conference with 16
defended passes.
The winner will be decided
through an online fan vote that
will be combined with media
and coaches votes.
Shepherd said he doesnt
know how he will feel on
Saturday.
A lot of mixed emotions,
Shepherd said. I never really
feel my emotions until the time

comes Im going to enjoy it

and try and go out the right
way.
When Shepherd started at
Kansas, he was a wide receiver.
He and the rest of the seniors
have seen many changes in
their careers, including the
ones at head coach in the last
few years, and losing records.
Bowen said he wants this
senior class to be remembered
for their resilience through all
of it all.
[They are] a group of
guys that through some
tough
situations,
tough
circumstances always stayed
together,
always
stayed
positive, Bowen said. [They]
continued to lead this team,
continued to show up each and
every day and work hard and
strive to get better all the way
to the very end.
Mundine, who has been at
Kansas for five years and has
been a consistent receiving
threat the past few weeks,
said he is looking forward to
speaking with the team before

balls in his senior campaign. Of his 33 catches, 24 have resulted in first downs for Kansas.

The Horned Frogs throw the ball an average of 40 times per game, which means the TCU wide receivers play a major role in the offense. Doctson leads the Horned Frogs in receptions (42), receiving
yards per game (72) and receiving touchdowns (7). TCU likes to line Doctson up all over the field.

BEN HEENEY
SENIOR, LINEBACKER

PAUL DAWSON
SENIOR, LINEBACKER

Saturday marks the last time Heeney will play in Memorial Stadium. His senior campaign has been
highlighted with his 21-tackle performance against Texas Tech. He currently ranks first in the NCAA
in solo tackles per game with 8.

The only other player close to Kansas linebacker Ben Heeneys Big 12 tackle total (101) is TCU
linebacker Paul Dawson, who has 95 tackles on the season. He leads the Horned Frogs with 57 solo
tackles and 13 tackles for loss. Kansas run-first offense versus Dawson should be a good matchup.

JaCorey Shepherd
SENIOR, CORNERBACK

CHRIS HACKETT
JUNIOR, QUARTERBACK

Shepherd is another Kansas defensive player who is having an outstanding senior season. Against
Iowa State, he had five pass breakups and had a game-clinching interception in the end zone in the
fourth quarter.

Hackett is the best cover corner on the Horned Frogs. He plays a straight up man coverage and jams the
wide receiver at the line of scrimmage. He leads the Big 12 with five interceptions and ranks seventh in
the conference for his 10 passes defended. Hackett also averages six tackles per game

KANSAN: For the No. 4 TCU

Horned Frogs (8-1, 5-1), 2014
has been a quantum leap from
2013. The team has already
doubled its win total from a
year ago (4) with three games
left to play. Still relatively
new to the Big 12 conference,
how much has this years
successes exceeded preseason
expectations, if at all?
MENDEZ: Expectations have
been exceeded by quite a bit.
Gary Patterson has said for
a long time it would be 3 to
5 years to get the depth and
experience needed to become
competitive in the conference.
Since it is Year 3, he is right on
schedule. I think a reasonable
goal would have been a
winning conference record.
Obviously, they are past that.
KANSAN: TCU has as good a
chance as any Big 12 team to
qualify for a spot in the first
College Football playoff. Are
Horned Frog fans optimistic
about the possibility of their
team playing for a National
Championship this January?
MENDEZ: Quite optimistic,
for many. Others are afraid
Baylor is going to catch them
and pass them by the end of
the season. But Ill bet they all
agree this season is more than
they expected.
KANSAN: In the Big 12, good
quarterback play is paramount
for championship contending
teams.
TCUs
drastic
improvement this season has
been largely reliant on the
transformation of Trevone
Boykin, who is on the short
list of candidates competing
for the Heisman trophy
this after college football
analyst Phil Steele predicted

ASSOCIATED PRESS

TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin eludes Kansas State defensive end Jordan Willis during the second half of Saturdays game in Fort Worth, Texas. TCU won 41-20. Kansas will play TCU this
Saturday for a chance at its second conference win of the season.
Texas A&M transfer Matt
Joeckel to be the starter over
the off-season. We all want
to know, how has the junior
quarterback done it?
MENDEZ: Its the payoff of
an investment in him as a
quarterback from Day 1 of the
spring. Gary Patterson brought
in a former quarterback, Sonny
Cumbie, and a strong offensive
coach, Doug Meacham, to
teach him this offense and how
to play the position. He didnt
have to worry about being a
running back or a receiver.

The immersion into the

system paid off in what youre
seeing today. Its a credit to the
coaches and his ability.
KANSAN: What should Kansas
fans expect from the rest of a
TCU offense that put up 82
points against Texas Tech and
averages 47.2 points per game?
MENDEZ: On a nice day, a
high-flying air attack. On a
wintry day, a heavy dose of
the running game. That is one
area where Patterson believes
his team has made a lot of

improvement in the last few

games. Its a massive offensive
line. The Horned Frogs ran
for 334 yards last week against
Kansas State.
KANSAN: Even with the
dismissal of Big 12 preseason
defensive player of the year
Devonte Fields before the
season, coach Gary Patterson
has yet another stout defense in
Fort Worth. How can Kansas
muster offensive production
against this unit?
MENDEZ: Maybe over the

top. The Horned Frogs have a

couple of young cornerbacks
and have shown vulnerability
to the deep pass. But throwing
deep requires time, and
that means protecting the
quarterback. TCU doesnt have
the single elite pass rusher it
would have had with Fields,
but they use four defensive
ends that Patterson thinks are
all starter-quality.

losing by a combined score

of just 47-23. Forecasts are
calling for a cold and possibly
snowy kickoff. Can I get a final
score prediction from you for
this Saturday?
MENDEZ: Im squeamish about
score predictions in public, but
you know, 47-23 actually looks
possible. Still, considering the
weather, lets knock 10 points
off for each team. Call it 37-13.

Jayhawk volleyball cages rival Wildcats in Manhattan

MATT CORTE
@Corte_UDK

GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN

Coach Ray Bechard talks to the volleyball team during the game against Texas Tech on Oct. 25. Kansas swept
No. 23 Kansas State at Ahearn Fieldhouse in Manhattan.

Since 1981, there had only

been three times that Kansas
volleyball swept its rival Kansas State in Manhattan.
On Wednesday night, the
Jayhawks made it number
four, sweeping the No. 23
ranked Wildcats 25-22, 2522, 25-21.
The win for Kansas (19-7,
7-5) was crucial, as it jumped
the team into a tie for third
place in the conference with
Kansas State (20-6, 7-5).
We had everybody engaged
in serving the ball tough, and
passing the ball tough, coach
Ray Bechard said. And those
few things this time of year
will give you the chance to

have a pretty special match,

and thats kind of what developed tonight.
In the previous game this
season, Kansas looked poised
to sweep the Wildcats after
the team built a 2-0 set lead,
but Kansas State won out and
stunned the Jayhawks in Lawrence.
That Kansas team was still
maturing and meshing as a
team. Now deep into conference play, the Jayhawks are
showing less and less of those
growing pains.
I think theyre coming into
a level of competitive confidence, Bechard said. We
got down a little bit in the
first and second sets tonight,
didnt panic, didnt stray away
from whats important to us,
and they trust each other and
trust the process. So I think
thats a level of maturation,
and new players, newcomers
becoming a little more experienced.
The Jayhawks came out
somewhat flat to start the
match, letting Kansas State
build a 15-11 lead midway
through the first set.
Kansas then closed that gap
to 21-19 before ending the set
on a 6-1 run behind two Tayler Soucie kills and a Madison
Rigdon ace.
The Wildcats again roared
to a second set lead of 15-11.
However, the resilient Jayhawks rebounded once more,
winning 10 of the next 13

points to take a three-point

advantage at 21-18.
Kansas State made it interesting after a kill put the score
at 24-22, but on the very next
play, Kansas finished a second
straight with a kill of its own,
this time from senior Chelsea
Albers.
Set three was the Jayhawks
turn to gain some separation
early, as the team built a lead
of 12-8 before widening it to
20-15.
Never making it easy, the
Wildcats mimicked what
Kansas had done to them in
sets one and two, scoring five
of six points to cut Kansas
lead to 21-20.
The Jayhawks, though,
found another gear yet again,
and finished Kansas State off
for good by registering four
of the next five points, which
ended with a Tiana Dockery
kill.
Senior outside hitter Sara
McClinton led the way for
Kansas, collecting a match
high 18 kills on 36 attacks for
a .500 hitting percentage.
With the win, McClinton and Albers are now 5-3
against the Wildcats, which
means theyre the first players
with a .500 plus record versus
the in-state rivals since coach
Bechard started in 1998.

Womens basketball begins regular season at home

SCOTT CHASEN
@SChasenKU

The Jayhawks will kick off

their regular season Sunday as
they take on the South Dakota
Coyotes in Allen Fieldhouse at
2 p.m.
While South Dakota isnt
considered to be as much of a
challenge as many other teams
the Jayhawks will face, Kansas
coach Bonnie Henrickson said
her teams lack of in-game experience against zone defense
could hurt them.
We maybe saw 10 possessions of [2-3 zone in exhibition
play], and were anticipating to
see it quite a bit against South
Dakota, Henrickson said after
the Jayhawks second exhibition
game. It would have been good
for us to play live against [the
2-3] a little bit more.
South Dakota is coming off of
a 19-14 season, which culminated with a trip to the NCAA
tournament. The Coyotes lost in
their first round game to Stan-

ford, a team that then went on

to reach the Final Four.
The Jayhawks will need to
contain Nicole Seekamp, the
Coyotes best player, if they are
to emerge victorious. The senior
guard averaged 15.5 points, 4
rebounds and 3.8 assists last season, including a 22-point, 5-rebound performance in the game
against Stanford.
Meanwhile, the Jayhawks
are searching to find their way
back to the NCAA tournament
for the third time in the past
four years, and getting the season started off on the right foot
would go a long way in accomplishing that goal.
History is on the Jayhawks
side, as Kansas has won its season opener for the past nine
years by an average margin of
21.4 points. However, the Jayhawks arent just looking to
sneak into the NCAA Tournament; theyre looking to make
some noise in the Big 12, too.
I have really high expectations for this team, and I think

Kansas defeated Washburn 78-58 and will start their regular season this Sunday against South Dakota.
well go far, senior guard Natalie
Knight said. I think we defi-

nitely have the capability to even

win the Big 12 this year, too.

In order to contend against

the likes of Baylor, Texas and

West Virginia, the Jayhawks

will need to be much improved
from where they ended last season, as they lost each of their last
five regular-season conference
games, before getting bounced
in the Big 12 Tournament by
No. 9-overall seed Baylor.
For Kansas, it all goes back to
starting the season off on the
right foot, as the Jayhawks won
each of their first seven games
in the two most recent seasons
when they reached the NCAA
tournament. While that may be
a little more difficult this year,
with a game against No. 3 Notre
Dame looming as the seventh
contest for the Jayhawks, theres
no reason to think Kansas wont
have a chance to win its first seven games, especially considering
the momentum the Jayhawks
will have built up should they
make it through the first couple
games unscathed.

gameday: South Dakota
KIRSTEN PETERSON
@KeepUpWithKP

KANSAS
Bunny Williams, senior, forward
Williams will try to capitalize on her defensive game
to overpower South Dakota. Williams has a total of 10
rebounds in two exhibition
games this season.
Chelsea Gardner, senior, forward
Gardner will have Jayhawk
fans cheering loudly again after playing exceptionally well
in both exhibition games this
season. With a double-double
against Fort Hays State and
20 points and nine rebounds
against Washburn, she wont
disappoint against South Dakota.
Asia Boyd, senior, guard
Boyd has a lot of potential
against South Dakota after recording 19 double-digit games
last season. Boyd needs to limit turnovers to the Coyotes.

Lauren Aldridge, freshman,

guard
Aldridge has been a nice addition to the Jayhawks after
really carrying the team at the
beginning of the Washburn
game, scoring five points in
the first four minutes of play.
She is a leader on the court,
despite being the youngest
starter.
Natalie Knight, senior, guard
Knight carried the team
against Washburn last Sunday, scoring 21 points and being 8-for-10 from the charity
stripe. Knight will continue to
be a top-scorer going into the
first regular season game of
the year.
SOUTH DAKOTA
Tia Hemiller, junior, guard
Tia Hemiller led the team in
both assists and rebounds last
year. Hemiller was also the
second-most accurate 3-point
shooter in the Summit League
at 43.2 percent.

Raeshel Contreras, senior, guard

Contreras shoots accurately from the 3-point line. She
made 61 three-pointers last
season and will be someone
for the Jayhawks to watch out
for on the outside.
Nicole Seekamp, senior, guard
Seekamp lead the Coyotes in
scoring last season, averaging
15.5 points per game.
Lisa Loeffler, senior, forward
Loeffler ranked fourth on the
team in rebounding and assists last season. Loeffler averaged 6.8 points per game last
season and went 40-for-51
from the free throw line.
Margaret McCloud, junior, center
McCloud lead the team in field
goal percentage (59.9 percent)
and was third in rebounding
(5.4 rpg). McCloud didnt
start any game last season, but
played in 31 games averaging
17.3 minutes per game.

Competition stiffens with

UC Santa Barbara matchup
BEN FELDERSTEIN
@Ben_Felderstein

Kansas will begin its regular

season schedule on Friday
night against UC Santa Barbara. After coming off of a
53-point win against Emporia State in their final preseason game, momentum is on
the Jayhawks side.
We played a lot better tonight, coach Bill Self said. I
thought we looked more cohesive. The ball moved pretty
good. We looked semi-organized at times. Not great, but
pretty good.
With the game three days
before the Champions Classic, Kansas will use the Santa
Barbara game to prepare for
one of its toughest tests of the
season against Kentucky.
Immediately after the
game, coach Self told us what
was coming for us. Were already on to the next game,
we know its a real game,
sophomore guard Brannen
Greene said. UC Santa Barbara is good. They are going
to bring things that Emporia

State and Washburn didnt.

Theyve got more size, so
weve got to come in and pay
attention to the scouting report even more and get the
job done.
The Gauchos posted a 201314 record of 21-9 (12-4) and
have been projected to finish
second in the 2014-15 Big
West Conference poll.
In 2003, Kansas defeated
Santa Barbara 72-52 in their
only prior meeting. The Jayhawks knocked the Gauchos
out in the first round of the
Wolf Pack Classic in Reno,
Nevada.
The Jayhawks played strong
in their first two preseason
games, but still have a lot of
work to do if they plan on
contending for their 11th
straight Big 12 title. The defense looked strong against
Emporia State, but their execution was often sloppy.
I thought it was pretty
good, Self said of the team
defense. Obviously, theyre
not very big, but usually when
theyre not very big it usually
creates some quickness and

its hard guarding a little guy.

I thought we actually got out
and defended them and our
ball screen defense was a little
better. Its nothing to be too
excited about, but its better
than it was last week.
Kansas is as deep this year
as they have been in recent
memory. With 11 players getting legitimate minutes in the
preseason, Self s implementation of a rotation should be
interesting. In years past, Self
has seemed to stick to a 10man rotation.
I thought everybody had
a chance to play fairly significant minutes, Self said.
I thought they all contributed well. I thought Landen
(Lucas) and Hunter (Mickelson) may have been our
two best bigs in the first half.
Frank (Mason III) and Wayne
(Selden Jr.) and Perry (Ellis)
didnt really plug themselves
into the second half, but I
thought Wayne played great
both halves. We did some
good things.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN

THE DAILY DEBATE

After Manning and Brady, who will be the next great quarterback in the NFL?
By Kyle Hicks
@udkylehicks

AARON RODGERS
Over the past decade, Peyton
Manning and Tom Brady have
dominated their positions like
no other. As they both reach
their decline and retirement
nears, the question arises:
Who will take their place as
the top quarterback in the
NFL? That man goes by the
name Aaron Rodgers.
After three years of sitting
under Brett Favre, Rodgers
has begun to pave the way
for a career as impressive, if
not more impressive, than his
predecessor. Among active
quarterbacks, Rodgers ranks
10th in career passing yards
(26,604) all while having two
or more years less of playing
experience on his belt than
the other nine. He also breaks
the top 10 for most career
touchdown passes by an active
quarterback, standing at No. 9
with 213.
Even more impressive,
Rodgers currently ranks No. 1
in pass completion percentage (66 percent) and career

passer rating (106.2), ahead

of Peyton Manning (97.8) and
Steve Young (96.8). Of course,
this statistic doesnt necessarily make him better than
Manning or Young, but being
ahead of these two in any
quarterback statistic is saying
something.
The most important aspect
coaches want in their quarterback isnt a high passer
rating or a boatload of passing
yards. Most importantly, a
quarterback needs to find
ways to win games. If his team
doesnt leave the stadium
Sunday with a victory, no
one will care how many
touchdowns were thrown.
Despite his initial 6-10 season,
Rodgers has managed to win
on a consistent basis, posting
a 69-36 record throughout
his career. Not to mention,
Rodgers added a Super Bowl
win and MVP to his (discount
double check) belt by his third
season.
Putting all of these numbers and statistics aside,
what makes Rodgers an elite
quarterback is his intangibles.
Hes no Michael Vick, but hes
quick and smart enough to

use his feet to extend drives

and move around the pocket.
His football intelligence is
through the roof, which has
led him to a mere three interceptions to his 25 touchdowns
this season.
Earlier this year in Miami,
down by four, Rodgers was
leading the Packers to a fourth
quarter comeback with no
timeouts remaining and just
15 seconds left on the clock.
While everyone on the field
and even his coach, Mike McCarthy assumed Rodgers
would spike the ball to stop
the clock, he faked the spike
and threw to wide receiver
Devante Adams for 12 yards,
making it out of bounds at the
4-yard line. The next play, he
threw a game-winning touchdown to tight end Andrew
Quarless to win the game.
Its plays like this that leave
you in awe when Rodgers
takes the field and why there
is no other quarterback better
fit to play his position for the
next seasons to come.

@jclemn9

ANDREW LUCK
In 2012, the Indianapolis
Colts drafted Andrew Luck
and tasked him with the
unenviable responsibility of
replacing Peyton Manning,
arguably the best quarterback
to ever play professional
football.
Manning reminded NFL
viewers of his greatness when
he and the Denver Broncos
faced off against the New
England Patriots and Tom
Brady, who many regard to
be just as good, if not better,
than Manning. Both of these
quarterbacks are over 35 years
old and will likely retire in the
coming years.
While guys like Drew Brees
and Aaron Rodgers are
excellent quarterbacks, Luck
will be the one to receive
the attention that Brady and
Manning command.
Luck statistically compares
very similarly to his predecessor through his first two and a
half seasons. Lucks completion percentage through his

second season was about 2

percent lower than Mannings,
and he threw 46 touchdowns
compared to Mannings 52.
Luck has a 1-2 record in the
postseason, but he threw for
more than 250 yards in each
game, including a 443-yard
effort against the Chiefs
last season where he led the
Colts back from a 28-point
second-half deficit.
He has also shown a
tendency to shine brightest
in high-pressure situations.
Luck already has eight
fourth-quarter comebacks and
11 game-winning drives to
his credit in his young career,
according to pro-football-reference.com.
Luck is a dual-threat quarterback as he excels passing in
the pocket and has the ability
to scramble from the pocket
and pick up rushing yards at
a solid clip. Last season, Luck
rushed 63 times for 377 yards,
four touchdowns and averaged six yards per rush.
Size and strength could
be one of the most crucial
elements of Luck putting
together a Hall of Fame career.
With his size and strength,

Luck can withstand the rigors

of the NFL season and could
put together a lengthy and
healthy career due to his
ability to withstand hits.
An encouraging sign for the
young quarterback has been
his signs of improvement
each season. Since his rookie
year, he cut his interceptions
in half while maintaining his
touchdown rate at 23 per year.
Most notably, he increased his
quarterback rating from 76.5
to 87. This season, that rating
rose to 100.3. Hes also thrown
26 touchdowns after just 10
weeks and averages 342.8
yards per game over 100
yards more than he averaged
last season. If this increase in
production keeps up, he will
be among the best quarterbacks in the game very soon.
Andrew Luck still must win
at least one Super Bowl before
he receives the same types of
accolades as Manning and
Brady, but a solid Colts team
and his own outstanding
abilities set him up to have
many opportunities to win the
big game.

Cross country teams head to Illinois for championships

JOEY ANGUIANO
@joey_anguiano

On Friday, in Peoria, Ill.,

everything the Kansas cross
country teams have been
training for will be put to the
test. The NCAA Midwest Regional Championships are
the only way for the Jayhawks
to advance onwards to the
NCAA Championships. The
mens team is looking for its
first NCAA berth in eight
years, while the women are
trying to do so for the first
time since 1994.
Heading to Peoria for the
mens team are four runners
who are competing in their
third regional meet. This
group includes junior Jacob
Morgan, who put in an AllBig 12 fifth-place performance
two weeks ago at the Big 12
Championships.
Joining Morgan are senior
James Wilson and freshman
Chris Malgares, who have both
been among the top three finishers for the Jayhawks three
times this season. While this
is the first regional race for
Malgares, it will be Wilsons
fourth, making him one of the
more experienced runners on
the course.
Look for all three of these
runners to be in the top three
finishers for the Jayhawks,
and possibly make an impact
on the regional field. Another
thing to look out for is how the
length of the race will affect

the runners. The men have not
run a 10K race all season, yet
will be faced with the task in
Peoria.
On the womens side, sophomore Nashia Baker will lead
the way for the Jayhawks in
her second regional meet.
Baker has finished first for the
womens team four times this
season. In addition to Baker, junior Haley Francis and
sophomores Kelli McKenna,

Courtney Coppinger and Rachel Simon are all heading to

Peoria as well. Together, these
five are part of a team that took
fifth place at regionals last season.
The gun will go off for the
women at noon, while the
men will start an hour later at
1 p.m.

NCAA tournament revives Border War

AMIE JUST
@Amie_Just

The dormant Border War

will be temporarily resurrected Sunday.
The NCAA Division I Womens Soccer Championship
slated Kansas and Mizzou
against each other in the first
round.
Im thrilled for the girls
that they get this opportunity, said coach Mark Francis.
Getting selected to play in
this tournament is the result
of a lot of hard work and dedication this year. And as if the
stakes werent already high
enough, getting to play our
rival Missouri will make this
game much more special. It
should be a great atmosphere
out here on Sunday.
This will be the second time
Kansas and Missouri have
played each other in any sport
since Missouris departure for
the SEC. The first time the two
schools met post-conference
realignment was during the
2014 NCAA Softball Tournament.
The last time Kansas and
Missouri met on the pitch was
back in 2011, when the Tigers
won, 3-2. Missouri also owns
the all-time series against
Kansas by a narrow margin of
10-9-1.
This is the sixth time for
both Kansas and Missouri
where both teams made postseason appearances. Kansas
last appearance in the Big
Dance was back in 2011. Missouri last advanced in 2012.
Heading into the tournament, Kansas is ranked No. 18
in the NSCAA/Continental
Tire top-25 poll. Missouri is
ranked No. 37.
Kansas boasts a record of
15-5 and finished third in
the Big 12. The record is the
third-best record in program
history and the best outing
by the Jayhawks in the past

ULTIMATE TAN LAWRENCE, KS

ansas mens basketball learned on the

fly last year, and it
will attempt to do the same
this year as it prepares it for
next weeks matchup with
Kentucky.
The Jayhawks dismantled
both of their exhibition opponents, and the season will
truly get underway when
they face UC Santa Barbara
Friday night. But everyone is
still expecting that game to
be a tune-up for KUs matchup with blue-blood Kentucky
in Tuesdays Champions
Classic in Chicago.
The final score against
Emporia State wasnt any indication of the struggles still
facing this Kansas team; it
still has many shortcomings
to polish.
For one, Kansas still need
to find a consistent outside
shooter. This was one of the
worries that came with Conner Frankamps departure,
and many are hoping Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk or Brannen
Greene can fill that void.
The Jayhawks started
Tuesday nights game off
1-of-9 from the perimeter,
but finished 6-of-18. While
you dont want to base an argument on two games, early
indications havent necessarily been promising.
Teams can get by with a
lack of shooting by crashing the glass and scoring in
transition, but an outside
threat that can scare teams
would open things up for the
offense.
Another problematic area
is the point guard position,
which seems to have been an
issue for Bill Self s teams the
last four years. Kansas still
needs to figure out if Devonte Graham or Frank Mason
is the best starting option
moving forward.
Mason will probably get
the nod early in the season,
but if Graham can get past
the typical freshman mental
errors, theres no question
that he has a higher ceiling
than Mason.
With all of the other weapons on offense, all Kansas
needs a point guard to do is
to facilitate and control the
tempo of the game. If Mason
or Graham can separate
themselves, it will make it
easier for Kansas offense to
thrive.
Kansas looked further
along than perceived when
it took down Duke last year,
but still had problems even
after that.
Kentucky has its share of
problems as well and will
have to manage the overload
of talent present on its roster.
For teams trying to find
their identity, non-conference play is no walk in the
park.

BASKETBALL GAMEDAY

KANSAS
TIPOFF

KANSAS VS. UC SANTA BARBARA

NOV. 14, 7 P.M., ALLEN FIELDHOUSE

KANSAS

KYLE PAPPAS

No. 8
(0-0, 0-0 Big 12)

@KylePap

AT A GLANCE
The Jayhawks began the season strong and quelled concerns
about their guard situation in the
process. Sure, theyve struggled
shooting the ball for brief stints,
but its clear that this Kansas offense is dangerous when running
correctly. After a poor year on defense in 2013-14, Self has made
it a focal point this year, and it
has showed Kansas has 11
blocks and is outrebounding opponents by 22 through two games.

STARTERS

Frank Mason, Guard

Mason and freshman guard Devonte Graham have
both performed strongly in Kansas first two contests,
reassuring fans that itll manage without the departed
Conner Frankamp. Though Graham appears to be closer
to a true point guard, Mason has shot 80 percent from
the field and has only turned the ball over one time.

PLAYER TO WATCH

Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk,
Guard
The Ukranian freshman had a
tough time in his first collegiate
start against Emporia State he
was 1-of-5 from the field and was
one of two Jayhawks to receive
double-digit minutes but not
eclipse five points. So far, all 10 of
his shot attempts have been from
behind the arc; hes converted
three of those.

UC SANTA BARBARA
(0-0, 0-0 Big 12)
STARTERS
STARTERS

Zalmico Harmon, Guard

Harmon is one of the important UC Santa Barbara
returning starters. Harmon averaged 5.1 assists per
game last season and played more than 30 minutes per
game. Harmon is the floor general for the Gauchos, and
during their last exhibition game against Point Loma,
Harmon had a team-high of four assists.

Brannen Greene, Guard

Greene is recovered from a concussion and presumably
no longer in coach Bill Selfs doghouse; hes set to be
among the top options at the guard position for the
Jayhawks. Junior guard Wayne Selden Jr. called him the
best shooter Ive ever played with before the season and
hes Kansas most serious threat from behind the arc.

Michael Bryson, Guard

Bryson was the leading three-point shooter last
season and second on the team in rebounds per
game (4.3). Thats an odd combination, but Bryson
could have a field day because Kansas cant guard
the three. Kansas allowed Emporia State to shoot 18
three-pointers.

While Kansas has excelled in most

aspects of its game, its struggled
mightily shooting from the charity
stripe. The Jayhawks are converting only 64 percent of their shots
at the line, including just 59 percent in the second half.

Wayne Selden Jr., Guard

Selden has quietly been among the Jayhawks most
consistent performers thus far into the season. Several
of Kansas big plays have come via dishes from Selden,
whos second on the team with eight assists. Against
Emporia State, he was 5-of-7 from the field and collected 12 points on the evening.

Eric Childress, Guard

Childress is one of the two new starters for the Gauchos. He averaged 20 minutes per game the previous
season but didnt contribute offensively, averaging
only 5.3 points per game. The 6-foot guard will have
trouble guarding the taller Kansas guards, and he will
have trouble staying on the floor. The Gauchos wont
need him Friday because theyll need a bigger body on
defense.

BY THE NUMBERS

35

Turnovers forced by the Kansas defense after its two exhibition games.

28

Fouls committed by the Jayhawks on

Tuesday night against Emporia State.

Kansas freshmen continue their solid

production. Graham has provided a
noticeable boost to the Frankampless backcourt. Alexander has proved
that he can immediately serve as a
dominant presence in the paint. Oubre
and Mykhailiuk bring length and top
talent to the two- and three-guard.
If this group continues to play at the
level it has been, Kansas will be in a
good position on Friday night.

AT A GLANCE
The Gauchos return three of their
five starters this season, including the reigning rebound leader,
Alan Williams. Williams also averaged 21 points per game last
season, which ranked in the top
15 in the nation. The other two
starters played over 30 minutes
each last season, and UC Santa
Barbara has the most talented
and experienced squad its had in
years, Kansas coach Bill Self said.

PLAYER TO WATCH

Alan Williams,
Guard
Williams is the Gauchos go-to
guy, and the Kansas frontcourt
will have problems containing the
6-foot-8 forward. Williams isnt
tall for his position, but he has
a knack for grabbing rebounds
by using his 265-pound frame to
move others out of the paint. Williams also can score at will. He
didnt attempt a single 3-pointer
all of last season and shot 53
percent from the field.

Can the Kansas defense stop

Alan Williams?

Kansas outrebounded its opponent by 16 during the course of

the two exhibition games, but UC
Santa Barbara isnt Washburn
or Emporia State. Williams separates himself from the rest of
the team, and the Gauchos will
depend on him as their leading
contributor.

BY THE NUMBERS
Perry Ellis, Forward
With the start of regular-season play, it should become
more apparent that Ellis will be the go-to in Kansas
offense. Self said he expects the junior to average somewhere between 15 and 18 points a game. The Jayhawks
lone preseason All-Big 12 selection, Ellis averaged 13.5
points and 6.7 rebounds per game last year.

Mitch Brewe, Forward

Brewe is a big man with above-average shooting ability. The 6-foot-8 forward shot over 50 percent from three
last season, but he struggled rebounding the ball with
only three rebounds per game. In the past, Kansas had
trouble guarding the stretch forwards who can shoot,
and Brewe can be another one of those guys.

17

UC Santa Barbara coach Bob Williams is entering his 17th season

as the Gauchos head coach.

21

The Gauchos won their season-opener last season at UNLV

by 21 points.

18

Times that Kansas has eclipsed 100

points in exhibition play under coach
Bill Self after its 109-56 defeat of
Emporia State on Tuesday.

BLAIR SHEADE

QUESTION MARKS

QUESTION MARKS

Whats wrong with Kansas at the

free-throw line?

UCSB
TIPOFF

The Gauchos shot an average

of 18 3-pointers per game last
season.

Jamari Traylor, Forward

Traylor has established himself as one of Kansas top
defensive bodies in the paint. Hes had at least two blocks
and four rebounds in both of the Jayhawks exhibition
games, and received the starting nod in both contests.
Self isnt short on talent in the post, and may tend to ride
the hot hand, but Traylor has been impressive thus far.

Alan Williams, Forward

Williams averaged over 11 rebounds per game last
season, which was good enough for second in the
nation. At 6-foot-8, Williams uses his big body and
athleticism to outrebound the taller guys on the floor.
Williams is the only true danger to the Jayhawks
because of his scoring and rebounding ability.

Prediction: Kansas 86, UCSB 71

BABY JAY WILL CRY IF

Kansas allows Williams more than 9
rebounds. Coach Bill Self likes the way
all five big men (Ellis, Traylor, Mickelson, Lucas and Alexander) can play at
a high level. All five recorded at least
four rebounds against Emporia State,
and they will have their hands full
against Williams.
