Lawrence is officially a better col-
lege town than Columbia, Mo. The
American Institute of Economic
Research ranked Lawrence ninth
on the list of the 75 best col-
lege towns in its annual College
Destinations Index. Columbia was
ranked 13th and Manhattan didnt
make the top 20.
The list did not look at univer-
sities, but instead analyzed 222
metropolitan areas with student
populations of 15,000 or more.
Deciding what school to attend
should involve more than what the
school itself has to offer, Keming
Liang, AIERs lead researcher on
the project, said in a press release.
Where to attend college is just as
important, because like the colleges
themselves, the towns and cities in
which they are located vary widely
in the opportunities they offer stu-
dents and recent graduates.
The ranking was based on 12
criteria in three categories: aca-
demic environment, quality of life
and professional opportunity. The
criteria include:

1. Number of college students
per 1,000 residents
2. Percentage of students hold-
ing foreign passports
3. Academic research expendi-
tures per capita
4. Percent of the 25-34 year old
population with college degrees
5. Number of cultural and enter-
tainment venues per 100,000 resi-
dents
6. Percentage of workers over
age 16 who commute on foot, by
public transportation or bicycle
7. Percentage of residents work-
ing in the arts, education, knowl-
edge industries, science and engi-
neering, management and other
fields
8. Cost of living, based upon
average rent for a 2-bedroom
apartment
9. Income per capita
10. Net annual increase in total
number of business establishments
per 100,000 residents
11. Unemployment rate
12. Brain Gain/Drain: year-over-
year ratio of college-educated pop-
ulation living in the area
Jill Jess, spokeswoman for
University Relations, said its no
surprise that Lawrence ranked so
high even based on things that
cant be measured.
Lawrence is the quintessen-
tial college town, Jess said. The
beauty of Mount Oread and spir-
ited student body combine with a
vibrant community in the city. The
lively music and arts scene, rec-
reational opportunities and retail
and dining offerings are just part of
what make this such a great place
to go to school and to live.
Will Kellen, a junior from
Flemington, N.J., agrees that
Lawrence deserves this high
praise.
I love living here, Kellen said.
Its a smart town with tons of stuff
to do. I dont want to be anywhere
else. This graph compares the
ranking of Lawrence to Ithaca, NY,
which was ranked number one on
the College Destinations Index in
the category of college towns under
250,000 residents.

Poised to receive one of just eight
Legion of Valor Bronze Cross of
Achievement awards to be had, the
midshipman had one more com-
mand to fulfill.
Can you give your mom a hug
and a kiss? Shake your dads hand,
too.
With a smile, Christian Jensen, a
senior from Paola, obliged. The order
came from retired Army Col. Roger
Donlon at a ceremony Wednesday.
With his Congressional Medal of
Honor from service in Vietnam
draped around his neck, Donlon fas-
tened the medal to Christians left
breast pocket and promised that fur-
ther distinctions awaited.
The Bronze Cross is awarded
annually to eight Navy ROTC mid-
shipmen, eight Army ROTC cadets
and four Air Force ROTC cadets. To
be eligible, a midshipman must be in
the top 25 percent of his or her class
in aptitude and academic standing.
Before learning of his achieve-
ment, Christian said he had no idea
he was up for the award.
It came out of the blue, he said.
Christian, a political science
major, plans to attend law school.
He is commanding officer for a bat-
talion of about 80 midshipmen and
is a squad leader in the Semper Fi
Society on campus. His father, Steve
Jensen, said Christians long list of
responsibilities is nothing new.
Ive tried to get him to lay off a
little bit and relax and enjoy college,
Steve said. If hes not taking 18 to 21
hours a semester, hes not happy.

Mandatory curbside recycling

more a month, but think of what
it could do for the environment,
said Aron Cromwell, vice-mayor
of Lawrence.
Last week the City
Commissioners discussed
potentially changing the way
that Lawrence handles its trash.
Cromwell will head a task force
that will explore options such
as rate changes to charge people
based on how heavily they use
the system, mandatory curbside
recycling, a pay-per-bag system,
or even privatizing the system.
But commissioners promised
to be very careful when consider-
ing changes.
We need to make sure were
not making more of a mess
than we had in the first place,
Cromwell said.

On Tuesday night the Lawrence
City Commission unanimous-
ly approved the request of two
University students, allowing them
to run a late-night food cart called
the Last Stop Snack Shop.
The cart will sit on the southwest
corner of 10th and Massachusetts
streets, in front of the vacant
Masonic Temple building. The
decision has been a long time in
the making.
This has gone on long enough,
Mayor Mike Amyx said. We need
to get you guys in the hot dog busi-
ness.
The decision came despite
some resistance from a few busi-
ness owners. The landlord for the
temple building and three other
restaurants in the block had sent
a letter objecting to the cart. They
were concerned with vandalism
and traffic congestion from people
congregating on the sidewalk.
Still, Justin Sharkan, co-own-
er of Last Stop Snack Shop, said
although they didnt know what to
expect on Tuesday night, they were
sure their request would eventually
be approved.
Weve already dealt with these
concerns when we were getting the
permit to stay open until 2:30 a.m.,
Sharkan said at the meeting. Weve
done everything youve asked us
to do.
Sharkan said that everything is
ready to go and they expect to be
open sometime this week.
The cart will serve hotdogs,
hamburgers, veggie burgers, walk-
ing tacos and grilled cheese sand-
wiches. The stand will operate
Wednesday through Saturday until
2:30 a.m.

INTERNATIONAL
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD (AP) For the
second time in less than a week,
U.S. forces were drawn into dead-
ly fighting against insurgents a
reminder of the ongoing dangers
American forces face well after
President Barack Obama declared
a formal end to combat.
With a persistent insurgen-
cy, ongoing sectarian tensions
and no agreement on a new
government after six months
of wrangling, stabilizing Iraq
before all American forces leave
still seems a distant dream.
Wednesdays raid, in which at
least six people were killed, was in
the former insurgent stronghold
of Fallujah highlighting the
persistent danger that al-Qaida-
linked militants still pose despite
years of efforts by both Iraqi and
U.S. forces to root them out.
Insurgents seem to have redou-
bled their efforts this summer
to target Iraqi security forces
taking over from the departing
Americans nine Iraqi soldiers
died Wednesday in a roadside
bombing while two police offi-
cers in Baghdad were shot and
killed. The militants are trying to
undermine the so-called Sons of
Iraq the anti-al-Qaida militia
that was instrumental in reducing
violence.
The anger with which Fallujah
officials reacted to the raid
conducted by Iraqi troops from
Baghdad instead of local forces
spotlights another persistent
threat to Iraqs security: deep
divisions between the minority
Sunnis in places like Fallujah and
the Shiite majority that rules the
country.
Details of the raid were murky.
U.S. officials described it as an
Iraq-led mission targeting mili-
tants with Americans in an advi-
sory capacity.

Despite an announcement last
week that the search committee for
athletics director would be unveiled
by the end of this week, Chancellor
Bernadette Gray-Little is not expect-
ed to make an announcement until
next week.
Todd Cohen, director of uni-
versity relations, said Gray-Littles
announcement last week was for
when she hoped to have the com-
mittee named.
After Lew Perkins early retire-
ment was announced last week,
Gray-Little released a statement
indicating she would name a search
committee of five to six members by
the end of this week.
A committee of that size would
differ from the search committee in
2003 that named Perkins athletics
director.
At that time, only Robert
Hemenway and A. Drue Jennings
then chancellor and interim ath-
letics director respectively con-
ducted the search.
Jennings also headed the search
committee for chancellor after
Hemenway retired in 2008 and
could not be reached for comment
Wednesday.
If the past is any indicator of the
future, one could look to Chapel
Hill, N.C., for ideas as to Gray-
Littles approach to the search com-
mittee.
Before becoming chancellor at
the University, Gray-Little worked
for six years with Holden Thorp,
now chancellor at University of
North Carolina.
Thorp is no stranger to having
an athletics department dominate
headlines outside of box scores.
North Carolinas football program
is under investigation by the NCAA
for academic impropriety and alle-
gations of illegal contact between
agents and football players. Thorps
handling of the situation was laud-
ed by North Carolina faculty in a
Wednesday Daily Tar Heel article.
Here, as weve been saying, our
academic values come ahead of
winning, Thorp said. Thats why
weve been so focused in a detailed
way on the situation that we have
here now.
Thorp expects his former col-
league to set up a process that is
fair to all candidates and an envi-
ronment where all have an equal
chance.
Then North Carolinas chair of
psychology, Gray-Little worked on
the search committee that selected
Jerry Moeser as chancellor in 2000.
Moeser said he was impressed with
her style of interviewing.
They were insightful and pene-
trating questions, Moeser said. But
even more important was the way
she listened to my answers.
Moeser said he would imag-
ine Gray-Little taking the same
approach toward the search com-
mittee as he did.
I always told search committees
to take their title seriously, Moeser
said. Their job was to search not
just to screen.
To Moeser this means not limit-
ing candidates to one region.
The danger is if one limits a
search to a local search or even just
a regional search, you dont have
the benefit of measuring candidates
against a wide and diverse pool,
Moeser said.
Gray-Little will be in Topeka
Thursday to give the Board
of Regents an update on the
Universitys handling of the ticket
scandal uncovered in May.

Mason Haggerty, a senior fromOverland Park, looks through information at the Save A

reducing its waste. She said the
task force would solicit input from
the community before making any
decisions.
Alyssa Urso, a senior from
Overland Park, said she felt con-
flicted about the issue.
I want to see less trash go to the
landfill, Urso said. I know a lot
of the stuff I throw away is prob-
ably recyclable. But Im on a tight
budget so it matters how much this
would cost.
Laura Vinci, a senior from
Omaha, Neb., said she and the
three girls she shares her house
with already recycle. They have
three bins in their kitchen to sort
their trash.
The cost of living in Lawrence
is high in general so anything extra
would seriously add up, Vinci
said.
Cromwell said the Lawrence
community was pretty good about
recycling now, even with limited
options. According to the most
recent data from Lawrencerecycles.
org, Lawrence recycles 35 percent
of its trash. He said Lawrence has
the opportunity to double or triple
the amount of recycling it does in
the next few years.
Charlie Sedlock, waste services
manager at Hamm, said the city
produced about 65,000 tons of
trash per year. He said Hamm was
happy to adjust its services to fit
the needs of the community.
If Lawrence wants to be a green
city, we need to catch up on recy-
cling, Cromwell said.
The discussion to change the
system really started rolling when
Hamm Sanitary Landfill sought
a $1 per residential household
increase in the fees they charge to
accept Lawrence trash. Currently
the rate is about $14 per household
to take the trash.
However, Cromwell said prob-
lems abound when trying to figure
out how a new system will work.
He said hauling trash in student
areas is always difficult. One of
the reasons is that if students are
putting their trash in a community
dumpster it would be difficult to
do pay-per-bag.
This is not going to be a one-
size-fits-all solution, Cromwell
said. But its too important to
ignore.
Cromwell is also trying to get
more Ripple Glass receptacles set
up around Lawrence. Ripple Glass
asks residents to bring their glass to
collection points, and then Ripple
Glass takes it to a processing plant
in Kansas City and recycles it.
Currently Lawrence has one
Ripple Glass location in the
Lawrence Recycling Center. Amy
Ferguson, a representative of
Ripple Glass, said the company
hoped to have more location in the
near future.
Crowell said he should have the
task force in place within the next
six to eight weeks.

The University of Kansas will
launch a new Institute for Digital
Research in the Humanities this fall
to address a growing need on cam-
pus for technology.
Resources for the institute will
initially come from three sponsor-
ing partners to support technology
infrastructure. The institute will base
its operations in the KU Libraries
Center for Digital Scholarship on
the fourth floor of Watson Library.
The institute was the core recom-
mendation made by the task force on
digital initiatives in the humanities,
formed in fall 2008 by a partnership
of KU Libraries, the Hall Center for
the Humanities, and the College of
Liberal Arts and Sciences.
It was recognized that KU was
well behind other institutions in the
support for digital research in the
humanities and social sciences, said
Allan Hanson, anthropology pro-
fessor and co-chairman of the task
force. The task force was formed
to propose steps that the University
might take to catch up.
The institutes initial goals include
providing new educational oppor-
tunities for graduate students and
faculty and supporting the use of
technology in advancing humanis-
tic research.
One such tool is KU Scholar
Works, an online repository for work
created by faculty at the University.
Its use allows new electronic jour-
nals and monographs to be pub-
lished online more efficiently.
Arienne Dwyer, associate profes-
sor of linguistic anthropology and
co-director of the institute, said
the institute would encourage bet-
ter digital practices on campus and
promote collaboration in human-
istic research, which is typically a
lone-ranger activity.
In addition to its support to
University researchers, students will
also reap the benefits of this insti-
tute as new digital technologies are
brought into the classroom.
A history or archaeology class
might include some sort of 3D visu-
alization of a site that would be a lot
more exciting than looking at a slide
or PowerPoint, Dwyer said.
Brian Rosenblum, digital initia-
tives librarian and co-director of the
institute, said that the greater use of
technology would lead to increased
association between researchers,
both inside the University and with
other institutions.
We hope to make the research
more accessible to the community
and work with other digital human-
ities centers, especially on grant-
funded projects, Rosenblum said.

CAmpUS
When Christian told his parents
of the award, he initially told them
they didnt need to attend the cer-
emony. It was no big deal, he said.
But after learning more, they quickly
adjusted their schedule for a trip to
Lawrence.
Its always new to us, said Bonnie
Jensen, Christians mother. With
this award I had to get online and
look it up to see what it was and who
Col. Donlon was.
Donlon was the first American sol-
dier to be awarded the Congressional
Medal of Honor in Vietnam. He
volunteered to present Christian his
award, added a personal coin from
his collection and stayed long after
the presentation to take part in train-
ing, often interjecting.
For someone to sacrifice so much
willing to show me some measure of
respect, its pretty humbling, I would
say, Christian said.
Nominations for the award are
submitted by commanding officers
nationwide. Jensens nomination
was reviewed by the Navy Service
Training Command in Pensacola,
Fla., before receiving validation from
Legion of Valor Headquarters.
Growing up in Paola, Christian
often took part in baseball and swim-
ming. He said he still enjoys hiking
and swimming in his spare time.
However, it came as a surprise
when Christian told his parents of
his career and college plans. Aside
from Steves father serving in the
Korean war, the Jensens have never
been a military family.
He and I have gone round and
round about it, Bonnie said. It
doesnt go away.
Before law school and politics, the
Marine Corps awaits Christian after
walking down the hill in May. For
his parents, their responsibilities also
continue.
He has two younger brothers,
Bonnie said. So theyve got big
shoes to fill.

Oprahs 25th and fnal season kicks of with big giveaway
TELEVISIoN
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
Oprah Winfrey is getting out
of daytime TV at just the right
moment, before her self-titled pro-
gram crosses over completely into
game-show territory. Mondays
kickoff episode to Winfreys 25th
and final season offered more of
what has become her signature
move, the big-ticket giveaway to
audience members gushing tears of
gratitude.
This time, her studio audience
stocked with ultimate fans the way
George W. Bush used to stock his
speeches with partisans got not
just Paul Simon and John Travolta
singing and dancing for them.
They also received a free trip
to Australia, the host announced
in that kind of low-register Oprah
growl she does when excited: Were
going to Australia! she repeated
several times.
The eight-day vacation will come
in December, with Winfrey accom-
panying her followers to tape a cou-
ple of shows Down Under.
But thats not all! They got free
cell phones,
too the new
Motorola Defy.
Also given away
was lots of free
publicity: to
Motorola, to
Australian air-
line Qantas and
to the nations
tourism board,
and to Chevy,
which provided
vehicles for a group of hardcore
Oprah fans to roadtrip to Chicago
for Mondays show.
It was like Who Wants to Be a
Millionaire, but without all those
nettlesome questions separating
people from their prizes. By now,
its got to the point where an audi-
ence that doesnt score any booty
goes home crestfallen.
Viewed charitably, the car and
technology and pajama handouts
amount to an immodestly rich and
successful woman letting some of
the wealth trickle down. But a skep-
tic might classify them as almost a
form of bribery: Keep loving me,
baby, and I might buy you that dia-
mond necklace.
And the
shows nakedly
avaricious nature
audience
members were
virtually quak-
ing with excite-
ment as Winfrey
teased out the
prize announce-
ment Monday
threatens to
overshadow some of the good, and
serious, work Winfrey does.
Later this week, before announc-
ing her new book club pick Friday,
shell interview the Washington state
woman who was scarred in an acid
attack this summer, and shell return
to a West Virginia town where she
did a powerful show about AIDS in
1987. Winfrey, for all the celebrity
bunkum shes helped promote, has
also run a fairly high-minded show
for most of her tenure.
And the hardcore fans prob-
ably dont see any tension between
Oprah as saint and Oprah as Santa
Claus. Winfrey brought into the
audience Monday not only the six
roadtripping women from Boston,
but a guy who loves NASCAR and
Oprah, and a schoolteacher who, as
a 9-year-old, had been on the show
in 1993 because she was a preco-
cious Oprah devotee.
They, along with most everyone
else on hand, seemed to lap up the
first shows mixture of the senti-
mental, the nostalgic and the cel-
ebratory of Winfrey and her place
in the culture.
Travolta, voted the shows all-
time favorite guest after 11 previous
appearances, danced Winfrey onto
the stage in the kind of faux-flirty
act theyve developed. Later, he
would don his Qantas pilot uniform
(true fact, though he may not be the
airlines busiest captain) to help give
the trip away and plug the airline.
Oprah, theres only one of you,
and therell never be another one,
Travolta told the Chicago-based
talk-show host, who will move on
next year to the West Coast to host a
new, less frequent, evening show on
her own cable channel, the Oprah
Winfrey Network.
A rabid fan from Alberta, Canada
she estimated she has watched
5,500 hours of Oprah through the
years was shown on tape call-
ing Travoltas 50th-birthday salute
to Winfrey her favorite on-show
moment. The not-exactly-under-
stated toast? You represent the best
of our country, and whats possible
in our country, Travolta said in the
2004 episode, but more important-
ly you are a citizen of the world, and
you are a hero to mankind.
Well.
The plan, producers have said, is
for the final season to provide one
big moment after another.
But its hard to imagine keeping
pace with an initial episode that
served up a free, expensive vaca-
tion and a virtual Nobel Peace Prize
nomination.
Fasten your seat belts, viewers. Its
going to be a bumpy final ride.
Oprah, theres only one of
you, and therell never be
another one.

Today on this wonderful
Tursday, I have but one
question for you Jayhawks: I am
12 and what is this?
For those of you who dont
spend most of their time in a
basement or a place that feels
like a basement that question
might mean nothing.
And for those people
who dont understand that
question: I applaud you. You will
truly do something worthwhile
with your life.
To those who understand the
question, you may already be
gone having thrown the paper
in rage and queried to no one in
particular: What is this? I cant
fap to this.
But to those lef, I have
one thing to share with you:
KUChan.org.
As I walked into the Kansas
Memorial Union the other
day to pick up my textbooks
for macroeconomics, algebra,
and modern art (I truly am a
Renaissance Man), I noticed
some the very URL I just shared
with you written in chalk on a
pillar. I instantly texted a few
of my friends the URL, and
found my way to a dark corner
of EGARC to explore what was
surely a sad excuse of a website.
You see, for those of you not
in the know, there is this website
out there entitled 4Chan. Moot,
a mysterious man/fnal boss
for Law & Order, launched the
website in 2003. For those of
you innocents, the website is an
imageboard, in which you can
post images and text completely
anonymously. Te anonymous
part tends to bring out the
crazies. Seriously, the Men In
Black (starring Woll Smoth),
themselves could not erase my
memory from some of the gory
images, racism, sexism, and
smut Ive seen on those boards.
However, for those of you
whove never entered the
image-flled Hell that is 4Chan,
many of the things you laugh at
on the internet were spawned
by the demons who inhabit it
themselves.
Do you like LOLCats? How
about de-motivational posters?
Tose were popularized by the
furry-loving basement-dwellers
who post on 4Chan.
So, what is KUChan? Well,
it seems to be some Jayhawk-
oriented knock-of of 4Chan
itself created by some weirdo
from Lawrence in the magically
boring time between looking
at porn and looking at porn.
Tere are several boards: the
all-too-familiar evil Random
Board; the GIF images Board; a
videogame-themed board; and
a Team Fortress 2 themed board
(for reason that may involve the
webmaster being 13 years old).
Tere are also a few locally-
themed boards for buying and
selling stuf, upcoming events.
Some of my puritanical
friends who came to 4Chan on
the Mayfower in the year 2 B.B.
(Before Boxxy) do not think
the site is a good idea.
However, I think it has some
promise. I mean whos smuttier
and more repressed than a
Kansan? Maybe, we could make
some Jayhawk themed meme.
LOLHawks or Courage Jayhawk,
perhaps? Either way, if you lack a
sense of humor or nerves, 4Chan
and KUChan are not for you.
Tis is for those who
have scrolled down past
pictures of their favorite Wild
Tornberries characters drawn
in compromising positions (Rule
34), rolled for doubles and for
those who know why Stu Pickles
is making pudding at 4 a.m.
OP out!
Carmichael is a Mulvane
junior in flm and media
studies and journalism.
T
he success of every student
is the responsibility of that
individual student.
However, college can be a rough
transition for many young people,
especially those who have very
little or no experience on their
own. Tat is why groups like the
Department of Student Success
exist to help students progress
through difculties and help
students ultimately to graduate.
Tis year Student Success is
implementing new programs
such as an early alert system to
notify students of holds on their
accounts due to parking tickets or
other fnancial mishaps or when
teachers have noticed a problem
such as poor attendance.
Not only would the student
get a notifcation, but the Ofce
of Student Success would have a
representative contact the student
to devise a plan to fx what ever
problem the student is facing.
Helpful programs like these,
however, do not exempt students
of personal responsibility.
Students must realize that they
have to be responsible for their
education.
Tere are other programs
Student Senate is improving
however that are much simpler
and aimed at helping everyone,
not just those with difculties.
At the start of every semester
we have all seen the hordes of
people in blue KU shirts out there
to help students fnd obscure
buildings like J.R. Pearson are or
how to fnd a classroom in a maze
like Wescoe.
Programs like this are planned
to be bigger and better in the
future, a positive for all students.
Te implementation of new
programs will hopefully help
win a round or two in the battle
against less than stellar graduation
rates.
In order to do that, however,
students have to take a personal
interest in their own education.
No school program can do that.
If going to class equates to nap
time for you, or every night you
go drinking instead of doing the
slightest bit of homework, college
might not be for you right now.
But if you have a serious interest
in pursuing an education Student
Services may now be better
equipped to help.
Shauna Blackmon for
The Kansan Editorial Board
Within a short amount of time,
Facebook redefned social life of
an entire generation.
Even just six years ago, we
wouldnt have considered scanning
through 30 play-by-play photos
of Saturdays tailgating shenani-
gans of mere acquaintances. We
wouldnt know how much that
one chick from high school is
now infatuated with Justin Bieber.
We wouldnt know that our
ex-boyfriends younger cousin is
getting married.
And, frankly, neither would we
care.
Nonetheless, within the span
of less than a decade, Facebook
has implanted all of these norms
in our culture without many of us
really noticing.
Although these little develop-
ments may not seem signifcant,
Facebook is afecting life in some
infuential ways.
Take for example the new ques-
tion that has ingrained itself in
our nomenclature: Is it Facebook
ofcial?
Clearly, privately discussing the
solidifcation of a relationship just
doesnt cut it with our generation.
Tanks to 26-year-old Mark
Zuckerburg, we now demand that
an electronic declaration of our
new relationships is sent to the
newsfeeds of everyone from our
best friends aunt to all of those
people from high school whom we
purposely failed to keep contact
with.
We want our profles to be
permanently linked to each other
(until the break-up that is). We
also want everyone who sees our
signifcant others profle to see
that, even on the online world, we
are attached to each other. I mean,
what better says legitimacy than
a Facebook ofcial relationship?
And, if it doesnt last, we want to
notify the same 1,000 people of the
relationships tragic end. Tat one
broken heart says more than any
words possibly could.
My boyfriend and I decided
to be in an exclusive relationship
a few weeks ago. Unlike many
Generation Y couples, this
decision had nothing to do with
Facebook. Afer a few dates and a
few months of talking, we agreed
the next appropriate step was to
establish clear boundaries on our
relationship. Tis led to the labels
of boyfriend and girlfriend.
But, apparently, this is abnor-
mal. Many couples clarify their
statuses with Facebook relation-
ship request, before even dis-
cussing the personal and more
important things.
Shortly following my conversa-
tion with my boyfriend, we both
personally informed our close
circle of friends. Still, we purposely
hesitated to make it Facebook
ofcial.
It has always seemed to me that
the more people broadcast their
afection, the less they really care
for each other. Tere is something
to be said about people, such as my
best friend and her boyfriend of
fve years, who have never needed
or used Facebook to solidify their
relationship.
But as I thought about our deci-
sion to not be Facebook ofcial,
the more I questioned our motives.
I knew we were more serious than
many of the couples on Facebook,
but the weaker side of me started
to doubt myself.
What if people dont take us
seriously? What if they think we
are purposely hiding our relation-
ship? Am I?
As a relationship-curious
columnist, I fnally swallowed my
pride and asked my boyfriend
to be Facebook ofcial to see
whether the title carries any true
signifcance.
It wasnt until we actually made
our relationship Facebook of-
fcial when I realized the stupidity
behind the entire ideology.
I realized that out of our ap-
proximate 2,000 friends on
Facebook, we only have 54 friends
in common. Meaning, our rela-
tionship announcement probably
made it into the newsfeeds of
hundreds of people who couldnt
care less.
A lot of our friends who already
knew of the relationship reacted
with, Its about time
Which conclusively proves my
point: Facebook has hardwired our
brains into thinking we need soci-
etal approval of our relationships.

Texts in the

By mandy matney

In Seth Robinsons col-
umn Learning from our
History in Times of Economic
Uncertainties, the columnist
appeals to history to argue that
massive government spend-
ing did not, and will not, help
the economy. The columnist
paints the 1920s as a halcyon
of prosperity with sure-footed
Republican presidents policy as
the cause of reform.
First, if we could use history
to predict the future, historians
would be millionaires. We arent
millionaires.
The depression that Seth ref-
erenced as 1920-1921 actually
began in 1919, and was caused
by the transition from a wartime
economy to a peacetime econo-
my a removal of government
spending. The supposed eco-
nomic brilliance of the Harding
administration must be placed
alongside the Tea Pot Dome scan-
dal (a corrupt collusion between
government and business), and
the fact that new consumable
technologies were being intro-
duced into the economy.
Also, the farming economy of
the 1920s was not one of eco-
nomic prosperity and low unem-
ployment rates. Rather, it was
one of incredibly low prices and
low profit, and great hardship.
The economic prosperity of the
1920s was also due to bubbles
such as the stock market bubble
and the Florida land boom bub-
ble. When the bubble popped
under Hoover, hard times set in.
Furthermore, Seth equates the
year 1933 with the New Deal,
and points to 24.9 percent unem-
ployment as proof of its failure.
First, many New Deal programs
were instituted after 1933. For
those that were created in 1933, it
took months to implement them
and see unemployment decrease.
Employment generally rose after
1933, albeit with slight reversals
in 1937.
I applaud Seths historical
inquiries, and encourage him to
keep investigating. However, I
would encourage him to take
an even-handed approach in the
future.

Vader forces clerk to
open store register
FERNDALE, Mich. Ferndale
police are seeking a man who wore
a plastic Darth Vader mask before
pulling a butcher knife and robbing
a convenience store. Authorities
said the holdup happened about
1:35 p.m. Monday at the Get & Go
store in a suburb north-northwest
of Detroit. Police said the man fled
after demanding all the cash from
the register.
But Lt. William Wilson told The
Daily Tribune of Royal Oak the
suspect made a significant mis-
take because he was in range of a
store surveillance camera before he
donned the mask.
Police described the suspect as a
white male, 5-foot-10, 180 pounds,
with dark hair and a goatee. He was
wearing a blue V-neck sweater with
a gray T-shirt and dark pants.

Coach Ray Bechards 200th vic-
tory with Kansas will have to wait
for the next match, as the Jayhawks
fell in four sets to Kansas State.
The all-time Kansas-Kansas State
series moves to 58-36.
The Wildcats dominated the
first set, racking up 11 kills to the
Jayhawks seven and out-blocking
the Jayhawks 5-0. Kansas State
was greatly helped in that effort by
sophomore middle blocker Alex
Muff, who contributed four kills
and four blocks, and its new set-
ter, sophomore Caitlyn Donahue.
Kansas State won the first set
15-25, despite the fact that both
teams had an equal number of
errors.
In the second set, the Jayhawks
began to close distance with the
Wildcats. Junior setter Nicole Tate
put up a block and 10 assists in
that effort, but Kansas State con-
tinued to have success offensively
with 13 kills and defensively,
with five blocks. Five of those
kills and two of the blocks came
from Wildcat senior outside hitter
JuliAnn Chisholm.
Of Tate, sophomore defensive
specialist Morgan Boub said: She
did really well. She did a good job
of making smart sets.
The Jayhawks rallied in the
third set, which again featured
an outstanding performance by
Tate, who scored two aces and a
kill along with her nine assists.
At the same time, junior outside
hitter Allison Mayfield made some
offensive contributions in the form
of four kills, two blocks and an
assist. As both teams increasingly
began to commit attack errors,
the Jayhawks pulled out the third
set 25-23, pushing the game to a
fourth.
The Jayhawks got on top in the
fourth set, as Mayfield went on
the offense scoring, 18 kills in
45 attempts. Though not a high
attack percentage, .111, it did
leave Mayfield leading the team
in kills and contributed to Kansas
taking the set.
Mayfield said there were times
that the Jayhawks were in con-
trol of the game but let it slip.
Sometimes we were lined up
great and had a good block, she
said. But sometimes we didnt
close the block . . . it was a tough
one to lose.
But Kansas State caught up
before Kansas could close out
the set, tying it at 27-27 on the
strength of 21 kills. Another
kill, by freshman middle blocker
Kaitlynn Pelger, gave the Wildcats
the lead. Some last minute errors
and a block by Muff ended the
set 29-31, and Kansas lost the
match 1-3.
Three of Kansas States play-
ers had double-digit kills in the
match: Pelger contributed 10,
Muff scored 12, and Chisholm led
with 15. Kansas benefitted from
the 18 kills provided by Mayfield
and the 12 from Garlington as
well as the assistance of Tate
but never made it to a fifth set and
a chance to reverse the match.
Bechard said as the Jayhawks
go back to practice and prepare
for the next match, there will be a
lot of points to address. In prac-
tice, he said, it is very difficult to
reproduce the chaos that comes in
some of these rallies.
As Big 12 Conference play
continues, Kansas will play Texas
A&M at Horejsi Family Athletics
Center in Lawrence on Saturday
at 6:30 p.m. As the Jayhawks are
now 0-1 in conference play, they
have dropped to 10th in the Big
12 with a record of 9-3.

Jered Weaver, staked to a sev-
en-run lead afer two innings,
earned his frst win in more than
a month as the Los Angeles An-
gels beat the Cleveland Indians
7-0 on Wednesday night.
Weaver (12-11) retired 21
of the 22 batters he faced over
seven innings to snap the lon-
gest losing streak of his career
at four games. He is 1-4 in seven
starts since defeating Detroit 4-2 on
Aug. 6.
Te right-hander struck out sev-
en to take over the AL lead with 218,
four more than Seattles Felix Her-
nandez. He retired the frst 11 men
he faced until Shin-Soo Choo hit a
sharp single past second baseman
Howie Kendrick with two outs in
the fourth. Tat gave the outfelder
a .476 (10 for 21) career average
against the Angels ace.
Te Angels got three singles and
three walks of Jeanmar Gomez (3-
4) to take a 4-0 lead in the frst in-
ning. Juan Rivera had an RBI single,
Kendrick walked with the bases
loaded and rookie Hank Conger got
his frst career hit, a two-run single.
A throwing error by Indians third
baseman Jayson Nix in the second
inning helped Los Angeles go ahead
7-0. Torii Hunter had an RBI single
and scored on Hideki Matsuis triple
of the wall in center. Rivera singled
home Matsui.
Weaver set down the last 10 In-
dians he faced. He struck out the
side in the ffh, throwing 14 of 19
pitches for strikes.
Before the game, Angels manager
Mike Scioscia expressed confdence
in Weaver.
I think right now hes throwing
the ball better than any time weve
seen him, Scioscia said. Hes really
putting pitches together better than
he ever has. Hes executing them
better.
His stuf right now is every bit
as crisp as it was at the beginning of
the year, and thats a huge sign.
Weaver gem carries Angels in win

wo exciting plays, two touchdowns,
but not quite the same endings.
The fans in Lawrence and
Tuscaloosa, Ala., both erupted in the same
way. Players on both home sidelines were
fired up and cheering for the six points their
team just put on the scoreboard.
Kansas wide receiver Daymond Patterson
scored on a stellar 32-yard touchdown
reception that was a Top 10 play on ESPN
this past week. Patterson broke tackles and
juked defenders out left and right on the
play.
The play was crucial to the game and one
of the most exciting at Memorial Stadium in
a long time. Patterson was rightfully excited
and decided to add a little punctuation
mark to end his thrilling play.
Patterson broke the plane of the end-
zone upside down after completing a very
impressive front flip. He landed safely and
went on to celebrate with his teammates just
as he should have. That should have been
it, but the sideline referee decided to reach
into his pocket and grab the little yellow
handkerchief that all players cringe to see.
Alabama wide receiver Kevin Norwood
also scored on a stellar 36-yard touchdown
pass in the Crimson Tides big game against
Penn State this past weekend. Norwood
slyly slipped through three Penn State
defenders before breaking out into the open
field with no one between him and the
endzone.
The play set the tone for the rest of the
game, as it was the first score in the contest.
Over 100,000 Alabama fans exploded in joy
when Norwood broke free. Norwood was
also rightfully excited, and decided to add a
little punctuation mark to end his stunning
display of speed.
Norwood flew over the goal line upside
down after completing a very impressive
front flip. The elated Norwood got up and
ran over to his teammates thrilled to put his
team on top. This time, the referee decided
to keep his hands out of his pockets and
away from the little yellow flag.
Kansas was penalized 15 yards for
Pattersons exciting display of emotion.
Alabama was not. Part of it could have been
coincidence, but there is a little more to it
than just eerily similar plays.
I have a hard time believing that it just so
happened that one of the most prestigious
college football programs of all time got the
benefit of the doubt when Kansas did not.
There is a double standard in the world
of college football. It is not a coincidence
that schools like Texas, Notre Dame and
Alabama will often squeak by the rules
while others cannot.
Mark Mangino described it best: Dollar
signs.

MANHATTAN, Kan. Kansas State cant
help but wonder which defense will show up
Saturday to confront Iowa State.
Will it be the swarming, aggressive unit that
forced three turnovers and held UCLA to 120
yards passing while beating the Bruins in the
season opener?
Or will it be the defense that let Missouri
State amass 447 yards last week?
The lower-division Bears rolled up almost
200 more yards than the Bruins and took bet-
ter care of the ball. The Bears threw 42 passes,
but Kansas State picked off only one.
It was a disappointment, said defensive
back David Garrett. That was not us. They
had a 99-yard drive against us. That is never
good. Then they had 11 minutes of possession
time, which is a whole quarter for their team
basically. For us to win the game, we have to
keep them out of the end zone and keep our
offense on the field. So that was a letdown for
our defense and as a team.
The team goal is to get at least three turn-
overs a game.
UCLA quarterback Kevin Prince, coming
off an impressive 2009 campaign, is generally
thought of as one of the top passers in the Pac-
10. But on Sept. 4 against the Wildcats, Prince
was only 9 for 26. A week later, Missouri States
Cody Kirby was 20 of 42 for 281 yards.
One of our captains spoke of maturity
throughout the week for (the Missouri State
game) and whether we were mature enough to
handle it, coach Bill Snyder said. I am not so
sure we were mature enough, in all honesty. We
really need to more consistent in order to have
any degree of success.
Despite allowing three touchdowns to an
FCS team, there were positives.
Defensive linemen Brandon Harold and
Raphael Guidry each had nine tackles, and
linebacker Alex Hrebec brought his season total
to 20. Snyder said he was pleased with how the
defense played for the majority of the first half
against the Bears. Until the last two snaps of the
first half, the Bears had only 80 total yards.
Iowa State comes in following a 35-7 smack-
down at the hands of No. 9 Iowa. The Cyclones
(1-1) got their only score late in the game after
Iowa had pulled most of its starters.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.
Dan Johnson hit a pair of two-
run homers Wednesday night,
leading the Tampa Bay Rays to
a 4-3 victory over the New York
Yankees and back into first place
in the AL East.
The teams with the baseballs
top two records flip-flopped
positions in the standings for the
third straight night. The first two
games of the important series
went extra innings, with the Rays
winning 1-0 on Monday and the
Yankees regaining the division
lead by a half-game with an 8-7
win on Tuesday.
The finale was filled with plen-
ty of drama, too, even though the
Yankees and Rays are far from
finished. Theyll play four more
games in New York next week,
with Tampa Bay holding an 8-6
edge in the season series.
Both of Johnsons homers came
off Phil Hughes (16-8), who retired
two of Tampa Bays most danger-
ous hitters Carl Crawford and
Evan Longoria before giving up
a two-out single to Matt Joyce and
Johnsons second homer of the
night in the seventh.
The Yankees had taken a 3-2 in
the top of the seventh on Curtis
Grandersons two-run homer off
Chad Qualls (1-0).
Randy Choate and Grant
Balfour worked a scoreless eighth
for the Rays. Rafael Soriano
pitched the ninth, earning his
franchise record-tying 43rd save
in 46 opportunities by striking out
Alex Rodriguez on three pitches
with the potential tying run on
base.
Rays starter James Shields scat-
tered eight hits over 6 1-3 innings,
walked two and struck out eight
before departing with a 2-1 lead
Johnson gave Tampa Bay with
his two-run homer off Hughes in
the fifth. Johnson has five homers
since being called up last month
from Triple-A Durham, where he
was the International League MVP
with 30 homers and 95 RBIs.
The Yankees went back on the
top in seventh after plate umpire
Lance Barksdale over the
objections of the Rays ruled
that Qualls first pitch struck
Derek Jeter on the left arm and
Granderson followed with his
18th homer.

Colorado avoids sweep
ASSoCiATeD PreSS
DENVER Troy Tulowitzki
had his third multihomer game in
a little more than a week, setting
a career high with seven RBIs to
help the Colorado Rockies beat
the NL West-leading Padres 9-6
Wednesday and avoid a series
sweep.
The Padres began the day with
a 1-game division lead over
the second-place San Francisco
Giants, who hosted the Los
Angeles Dodgers
on Wednesday
night.
Tu l owi t z k i
has four multi-
homer games in
his career, three
in an eight-day
span. He has 11
homers in his
last 13 games.
W i t h
Tulowitzki hit-
ting a pair of three-run homers
and an RBI single, and Jorge De La
Rosa giving the beleaguered bull-
pen a break by pitching into the
eighth, the Rockies climbed within
2 games of San Diego. They also
closed within 2 games of Atlanta
in the NL wild-card race.
Adrian Gonzalez nearly match-
ing Tulowitzkis offensive produc-
tion. The first baseman hit two
homers, including a three-run
shot in the eighth that wiped out
half of a 9-3 deficit. He finished
with five RBIs and increased his
season total to 29 homers.
Huston Street pitched a per-
fect ninth for his 19th save in 23
chances.
De La Rosa (8-4) snapped a
string of short outings by Colorado
starters, giving up five runs and six
hits in 7 1-3 innings.
Colorado starters have been
awful of late, overtaxing the bull-
pen. That cost them dearly Tuesday
night when Edgmer Escalonas fail-
ure to cover first base on a ground-
er to Todd Helton in the ninth
inning led to the decisive run in a
7-6 loss.
Clayton Richard (12-8) gave up a
season-high eight runs and 11 hits
in three innings.
Colorado won the final game
of a three-game series not
exactly what
the team had
in mind when
the slumping
Padres arrived
at Coors Field
on Monday.
The Rockies
were riding a
10-game win-
ning streak and
had designs on
overtaking the Padres.
NL MVP candidate Carlos
Gonzalez finished 2-for-4 with two
RBIs, increasing his NL leads in
batting average (.341) and RBIs
(106).
Tulowitzki is making a late MVP
push, as well, despite missing 33
games with a broken wrist. He
went 3 for 5 to raise his average to
.325, second to Carlos Gonzalez.
During a 10-game homestand, he
batted .375 with nine homers and
21 RBIs.
In the eighth inning, though,
the Padres elected to walk Carlos
Gonzalez with a runner on second
and pitch to Tulowitzki. Its a strat-
egy that worked as right-hander
Ernesto Frieri retired Tulowitzki on
a hard lineout to left.
Richard gave up a three-run
homer to Tulowitzki in the third.
An inning later, Richard was pulled
with the slugger stepping into the
batters box.

Henry very close
to Grizzlies deal
According to a report in the
Memphis Commercial Appeal,
rookie Xavier Henry is mov-
ing closer to fnally signing a
contract with the Memphis
Grizzlies, the team that drafted
him 12th in this summers NBA
Draft.
Henrys three-month long
holdout was precipitated
by Grizzlies owner Michael
Heisleys uncommon insistence
that Henry agree to perfor-
mance incentives to reach
the maximum salary for his
draft slot. Henry was the only
frst round draft pick with an
incentive-laden contract ofer.
In accordance with the NBAs
collective bargaining agree-
ment, teams can pay anywhere
from 80 to 120 percent of the
amount mandated by the
leagues rookie pay scale. Heis-
ley ofered 100 percent with
the remaining 20 percent tied
up in performance benefts,
but decided upon further re-
view of the agreement to ofer
the full 120 percent.
In the general spirit of
the way it was put together I
felt we should relent and not
have a performance situation,
Heisley told the Commercial
Appeal. I dont think I was on
the right side of the issue.
Henry will sign the deal,
according to the report, as
early as Thursday. The Grizzlies
second round pick, Greivis
Vasquez of Maryland, has un-
dergone the same dispute and
will also sign soon.

Jayhawks fall to in-state rivals
volleyball | 8a
BY COREY THIBODEAUX
cthibodeaux@kansan.com
Junior linebacker Steven
Johnson has dealt with all the
rushing offense he can take in the
first two games.
The first two games
were just all pound,
pound, pound, he said.
Just running the ball.
Ugh.
Game one had North
Dakota running the ball
32 times as opposed to
the 22 passes in the slow-
paced loss. Last week, Georgia
Techs triple option offense went
ballistic with 52 rushing attempts
and only 15 passes.
But the defensive front is hav-
ing a blast.
That was the funnest game
Ive ever played in, freshman
defensive end Keba Agostinho
said about Georgia
Tech. I was having fun
before we even went out
there.
It was a busy game
for a defense that had its
top three tacklers regis-
ter 34 in the game. And
somehow, they arent
tired at all. Johnson
said that he and Big 12 defensive
player of the week Justin Springer
never get tired on the field.
Johnson told his coach he
could go a few more quarters
after the game ended even after
his 11 tackle performance. Thats
all thanks to him playing special
teams last year and the strenuous
practice regimen.
The team just goes from drill to
drill, no time for breaks. Practices
get harder than the games,
Johnson said.
If you want water, he said,
you better get it on the run.
While the defensive line and
linebackers are having all the fun,
cornerback Chris Harris is wait-
ing for something to come his
way. He has six tackles on the
season and has yet to break up or
intercept a pass.
Fridays game against Southern
Mississippi can change that.
I havent gotten any action
the past two games, Harris said.
Im ready to play a team where I
know their best receiver is going
to be in the boundary.
If the game is anything like last
season, the defensive backs will
get some work. Led by receiver
DeAndre Brown, who has 165
yards and two touchdowns this
season, the Golden Eagles pass-
ing offense is ranked 28th in the
nation.
Brown had 85 yards and a
touchdown against the Jayhawks
last season, but Harris has a
new weapon to use against him.
Because this year, Southern Miss
offensive coordinator last year,
Darrell Wyatt, is the new wide
receivers coach at Kansas. Harris
is using that relationship to his
advantage.
I expect to continue to be in
his ear to see their weakness that
I can use to my advantage in the
game, Harris said.
But even the defensive front is
glad to be back to playing against
a normal offense.
We had to change a lot of
things, Agostinho said, but Im
glad were back to our normal
defense.

Defensive scheme will change for Friday
K
ansas City has never
really been known for
having fantastic sports
teams. There have been great
coaches, great players and even
great decades, but neither the
Chiefs nor the Royals have been
much to brag about lately. The
thing that always surprises me
is that every home opener fans
show up in masses with renewed
hope in their hometown team.
The same positivity at the begin-
ning of the season is present in
the local college fans as well.
A week ago many Kansas
fans were ready to dismiss the
entire season after a disappoint-
ing loss to North Dakota State,
but miraculously this week fans
are praising new coach Turner
Gill and the team and have a
renewed hope for the season.
This does not go for all fans
of course. The stadium was
respectfully full for an 11 a.m.
game, but there was something
missing until that first touch-
down. Suddenly, it seemed with
the chiming of the Campanile
that hearts fluttered, and the
hope was back.
A similar phenomenon took
place during the Chiefs game on
Monday Night Football. Despite
the Chiefs difficult preseason
and a talented foe to face, fans
piled into Arrowhead hoping for
something great to happen so
they could once again start their
love-hate relationship with the
team. But after their teams victo-
ry Monday night, fans Facebook
statuses were consistently filled
with excited game updates, and
students discussed the game on
campus while wearing Chiefs
gear proudly.
While fans may have no idea
how the rest of the season will
go for the Chiefs, they have hope
that will stand at least until the
next game. The same thing will
happen here at Kansas. I do not
want to say that fans are a fickle
bunch, but there is a large group
of people who will jump the
bandwagon after a victory and
hop off after a loss. In my book,
this is pretty much unforgivable
in sports. Someone recently told
me that my game day rituals and
yelling at the television does not
affect how the team will play.
Really? Did you need to crush
my dreams of contributing to the
2008 National Championship
or 2007 Orange Bowl victory?
Okay, I know that all of that is
true, but fans do make a differ-
ence. The coaches and athletes
always thank the fans and call
us the greatest fans in college
sports. At some base level I like
to think they enjoy having us up
in the stands, hearing our cheers,
feeling the hope and love for our
college team.
So dear readers, think about
this the next time you are plan-
ning your weekend around
whether or not to go to the
games. Renew that hope that we
start the season with and get to
the games. Cheer until you lose
your voice, don all sorts of Mardi
Gras beads and other spirited
apparel and proudly wear the
awkward tan lines you get from
morning games. Give the team a
chance. No matter what happens
this season, we are still Jayhawks
and always will be. That is some-
thing to be proud of right there.

Former quarterback Todd Reesing signs autographs on the practice feld before the game against
North Dakota State. Reesing's newbook details what players thinking about during a game.
Reesing's book ofers inside look
football
BY MIkE lAVIERI
mlavieri@kansan.com
Thousands of fans attend foot-
ball games on Saturdays. Few, how-
ever, know what the games like on
the other side of the stands.
Former Jayhawk quarterback
Todd Reesing gives readers a peek
into life as a Kansas football player
in his new book Rising to New
Heights.
Its a lot of insight, Reesing
said. I talk about what players
think during a game.
The first chapter of the book
covers Kansas 2008 Orange Bowl
win. Reesing vividly describes the
day, as if he was writing moments
after the final whistle blew.
Its a big part of our lives, so
it really sticks with you, Reesing
said.
Bob Snodgrass, CEO and
publisher of Ascend Books,
approached Reesing in the spring
to write the book. Reesing said the
book came out of nowhere.
Reesing started working with
co-author, Kent Pulliam, and the
two finished the first draft in
about two months.
About three months later,
Reesing and Pulliam started meet-
ing. Reesing said it went surpris-
ingly fast.
A lot of the detail Reesing gives
is based on his memory. He did
not review game film, but he did
double check box scores and the
play-by-play for accuracy pur-
poses.
The book gave Reesing an
opportunity to talk about the
highs of the 2007 season and the
lows of 2009.
Reesing did not write much
about former coach Mark
Mangino. Reesing said that the
events took place during two
games out of a four-year career.
He briefly touches on how the
team was affected by the Mangino
investigation.
I have nothing negative to say,
Reesing said. He was the only one
to give me a chance.
Reesing took every advantage of
that opportunity.
In the forward of the book, for-
mer Kansas All-American quar-
terback John Hadl said, Todd is
probably the greatest quarterback
we have ever had at Kansas.
Reesing did not just perform on
the field; he also excelled in the
classroom.
He was humbled by the praise
he received from professors.
Finance professor Lisa Bergeron,
who Reesing was a TA for, spoke
very highly of Reesing. In the
book she said Reesing did a good
job balancing everything, even
with how busy he was.
It takes effort to make good
grades and do well on the field,
Reesing said.
Reesings effort on the field was
not enough to land him a job
in the NFL. He signed with the
Saskatchewan Roughriders of the
Canadian Football League in May,
but was released in June.
He was disappointed he did
not get an opportunity at an NFL
camp this summer. Of the 14
quarterbacks drafted, only Dan
LeFevour, Central Michigan,
had more career passing yards.
Reesing, however, was the shortest
of those in this draft class.
You cant help your size, speed
or how far you throw the ball,
Reesing said. The NFL is looking
at physical statures and potential.
Reesing is currently going
between Lawrence and Austin and
was at the Jayhawks first game
versus North Dakota State.
Reesings emotions were run-
ning high, who watched as a fan
for the first time.
He had to adjust his mindset
from player to fan.
If Reesing cannot land a job
