One night in early October, Abe
Otaibi noticed the floors in the
sixth floor bathroom of McCollum
Hall were more wet than usual.
At first he thought it was a prank.
Then he looked up and saw water
dripping from the ceiling.
When he reported the incident
to the front desk at McCollum
Hall, a desk assistant told him a
pipe on the seventh floor was leak-
ing. Maintenance was taking care
of it, the deskie told him. So Otaibi,
a freshman from Al Khobar, Saudi
Arabia, returned to his floor.
Thirty minutes later a resi-
dent assistant for the sixth floor
returned to his room. Otaibi was
with him when he opened his door
and saw water spewing from the
RAs ceiling.
They rushed to save what they
could, but few of the RAs belong-
ings were salvageable. His TV,
books and collection of Magic the
Gathering playing cards among
other things were ruined. The
RA was not allowed to comment.
Though Otaibis story was the
worst incident reported to The
University Daily Kansan, many
McCollum Hall residents shared
similar stories. Several students
said mold was growing in their
rooms as a result of leaky pipes.
Despite their complaints, reno-
vations for McCollum Hall arent
scheduled to
begin until
2013, said Diana
R o b e r t s o n ,
director of stu-
dent housing.
As far as the
money it takes to
live here versus
the conditions
that we live in,
its pretty unac-
ceptable, said
Luke Bowers, a
junior from Marion.
McCollum Hall is the last dor-
mitory on Daisy Hill scheduled for
renovations. Templin, Lewis and
Hashinger halls were renovated in
the last 10 years. Renovations for
GSP Hall, located on the north side
of campus, are scheduled to begin
in May.
Were getting to the full reno-
vations as quickly as feasible,
Robertson said. In the mean-
time, I think theyre in pretty good
shape.
Water leaks
Bowers was visiting his girl-
friend in Kansas City a year ago
when a friend from his floor called.
Water was gushing from under-
neath his door on the eighth floor
of McCollum Hall, his friend told
him. A pipe had burst inside his
room.
When Bowers made it back to
McCollum 30 minutes later, his
friends had safely recovered most
of his belongings from his room.
The spewing water ruined a rug,
two Rock Band controllers, a
universal remote and a surge pro-
tector.
Bowers e-mailed a list of damag-
es to Shruti Desai, complex director
for McCollum Hall. He estimated
total damages to his personal prop-
erty at more than $110. Desai told
him in a follow-up e-mail to check
his parents homeowners insurance
for coverage.
Robertson said student housing
would most likely not reimburse
Bowers for any damages to his per-
sonal property. She said students
should either buy renters insurance
or check their familys homeown-
ers insurance policy to make sure
theyre covered.
If there was something we were
negligent in,
then Im going
to work with
them on that,
Robertson said.
But when its
something that
we wouldnt
have reason to
have known
was going to
occur, things
might happen
that we hadnt
anticipated or predicted.
In those incidents, Robertson
said, student housing was not liable
for damages.
Mold sightings
Alex, a freshman from Lawrence,
and who didnt want her last name
used because she will still be living
in McCollum Hall, said she and
her roommate noticed mold on a
leaky pipe in their room about six
weeks ago.
Maintenance fixed the leaky pipe
by wrapping it in duct tape, cover-
ing the tape with foam insulation
and painting the insulation white,
Alex said. When the pipe contin-
ued to leak, a maintenance person
placed a bucket under it and told
Alex it would stop in a few days.
She said the pipe still leaked on
occasion.
Alex said she had two respira-
tory infections this semester. Her
doctor told her the infections were
caused by bacteria in her lungs,
which she said might have come
from the mold.
I just wish it wasnt a health
hazard, Alex said about living in
McCollum Hall.

Andrew Fillmore has a rou-
tine when he goes to the grocery
store. He usually picks up a four-
pack of Red Bull. When it comes
to staying focused in his afer-
noon class, he said, drinking a
Red Bull helps keep him awake.
He said he probably drinks four
or fve a week.
I think energy drinks give
me an energy boost that soda
doesnt, said Fillmore, a junior
from Belle Plaine.
Teres no shortage of col-
lege students consuming energy
drinks. According to a survey
published in Nutrition Journal
in 2007, more than half of college
students reported drinking ener-
gy drinks at least once a month.
Walk into any gas station or
convenience store and one can
fnd an array of energy drinks.
Red Bull. Full Trottle. Amp.
Rock Star. Tere are rows of col-
orful cans promising to make
that groggy feeling disappear.
Tese drinks are popular, but
they may not be healthy.
Sure, everyone knows that en-
ergy drinks have cafeine. Tats
the point.
But what about the extras?
Energy drinks advertise ingre-
dients like taurine, guarana and
ginseng.
Fillmore said when it comes
to the extras like the taurine that
Red Bull touts, he doesnt really
think much about it.
Ann Chapman, dietitian at the
Wellness Resource Center at Wat-
kins Memorial Health Center,
said some energy drinks could be
potentially harmful. Tose extras
arent regulated by the Food and
Drug Administration, and stud-
ies have shown mixed results on
the efects these ingredients have
on consumers bodies.
So, she said, you dont always
a Moldy Mess
Leaky pipes irk McCollum residents
Chris Neal/KANSAN
A common complaint fromMcCollums residents is the water pipes that run through almost every room. The pipes will sometimes begin leaking and maintenance crews will have to come repair the
pipe. In rare cases the pipes burst, causing water damage to property.
As far as the money it
takes to live here versus
the conditions that we
live in, its pretty unac-
ceptable.

The air conditioning units inside McCollumhave been an issue for the buildings residents. Some students have had to take of the cover to their unit
and clean the inside because of a musty smell and mold, which sometimes causes sickness.

Popular drinks problematic
Dalton Gomez/KANSAN
Energy drinks such as Monster and Red Bull are wildly popular with college-age students. While these drinks give students the boost they need
to stay awake, some worry they may have adverse efects as well.

the kansas union at 4:30 p.m.
Globe-o-mania is an annual
trivia competition in which
teams and individuals can sign
up to compete for prizes. It is
one of the largest events of the
universitys national Geography
Awareness Week and in years
past has attracted as many as 300
participants.
Its usually pretty fun,said
emily Pabst, a graduate student
from columbia, mo. I think some
participants come in for the extra
credit thinking that its going to
be boring but then really end up
having a fun time.
orienteer kansas!, a community
organization, is a new addition to
this years ku Geography Aware-
ness Week. The group will teach
participants how to orienteer, or
race through unknown areas with
only a compass and topographic
map.

monday and Tuesday with free
screenings of the documentary
flms Thirstand The boys of
baraka.Pabst said that the week
had been a success with more
than 100 students turning out to
watch the flms.
The flms had a pretty good
showing,Pobst said. Its always
nice when students take an inter-
est in the events we plan.
other events included GIs
(Geographic Information systems)
day held last Wednesday in Al-
derson Auditorium in the kansas
union. The all-day event hosted
presentations on the various uses
of GIs including disaster relief and
criminal investigation.
Pabst said one nice thing about
GIs day is that it had a job fair
for any students interested in
pursuing a career in the feld of
geography.
A lot of employers and profes-
sionals come to that event,Pabst
said. Its not just something that
undergraduates attend.

kmorgan@kansan.com
In high school, Katie Kyzer was
a Key Club girl. She loved the feel-
ing of making a positive change
with the international organiza-
tions community service projects.
When Kyzer came to the
University as a freshman last fall,
she wanted to continue her ser-
vice with the organization and
decided to join the college equiv-
alent of Key Club Circle K
International.
There was just one problem.
KU didnt have a Circle K,
Kyzer said. And I was like well,
Im a freshman, I cant do any-
thing, forget that.
But the more Kyzer thought
about it, the more she missed Key
Club. So this year, she decided to
take action and form a Circle K
chapter for the University.
Its the biggest service organi-
zation in the world, and yet KU
doesnt have it, Kyzer said. So
were going to start it.
Through Facebook and word
of mouth, the organization has
grown to include 14 members
just six shy of the 20 needed to
become an official chapter with
Kiwanis International, the over-
seeing body for Key Club and
Circle K. With the assistance of
the Lawrence Kiwanis chapter, the
Universitys still-forming Circle K
chapter plans to start its com-
munity service work with small
projects like ringing bells for the
Salvation Army and serving food
at local soup kitchens.
So far just getting the word out
there has been the hardest part,
said Gabrielle Reimer, a sopho-
more from Meade. There are
many community service orga-
nizations here at KU so it can be
hard to get people to join.
Emily Miller, a junior from
Lawrence, said Circle K is unique
to other community service orga-
nizations in that, as a new club,
members have more say in the
events that are put on.
Other groups have traditions
that they follow and we have the
opportunity to make up our own
traditions, Miller said. We are
starting from scratch.
The group hopes that its small
projects will lead to bigger service
events in the future. One possi-
bility includes a holiday event for
area children.
Im just looking forward to
seeing if its actually going to work
out, Kyzer said with a laugh.
More importantly, I think were
all excited to see what kind of an
impact we can have in the com-
munity.
Students interested in joining
the Universitys Circle K chap-
ter can contact the group at
kansascki@gmail.com. The group
meets every other Tuesday at 8
p.m. in the Kansas Union.

Molly Kretzers homework has
been posted on University police
cars, doors of local bars and
even the big screen at Memorial
Stadium.
Thats where the Office of
Student Success is putting the logo
for its new responsible-drinking
campaign called the Jayhawk
Buddy System, which started in
Kretzers campaigns class. In the
class, which was taught by associ-
ate professor of journalism Bob
Basow last spring, students do
research and develop a campaign
for a client.
Kretzer, a senior from Wichita,
said students in her class trav-
eled to several universities across
the nation to research effective
responsible-drinking messages
with money donated by OMalley
Beverage, a local distributor for
Anheuser-Busch.
Frank DeSalvo, associate vice
provost for student success, said
his office used the research to
learn a couple of things about how
to reach students.
Students dont like to be
preached at, threatened or scared,
he said.
Thats why the Jayhawk Buddy
System campaign focuses on pos-
itive actions students can take.
Theres even a positive acronymn
for the plan that goes with it:
IACT.
We know that students who get
in trouble are often the ones who
get separated from their friends
at the end of the night, DeSalvo
said.
Kretzers campaigns class did
the research together but divided
into six groups that came up with
different campaign proposals for
their customer the University.
Kretzer was on the five-member
team that proposed the buddy sys-
tem.
The Office of Student Success
took the proposal and made
changes to it before introducing
it to the University Nov. 1. For
example, Kretzer said, her groups
proposal didnt include IACT, but
it did include suggestions for how
to handle the campaign, like with
Greek Life or during Hawk Week.
As soon as we gave our presen-
tation, it was in their hands, she
said. It was their product. Thats
the point of the campaigns class.
She said the class took its
research approach mostly from
the model at the University of
Virginia, which focused on in-
depth polling to delve into the
students behavior. They conduct-
ed their own focus groups with
freshmen and sophomores, asking
about their habits and opinions on
certain key topics like fake IDs or
binge drinking.
Kretzer said the class found
that students consistently over-
estimated the drinking habits of
their peers, thinking that others
drank more regularly or danger-
ously than they actually did.
If people realize they are in the
majority, it might change how they
act, she said.
Kretzer said the University
of Virginias approach used the
in-depth information to create
positive messages, and it found
out that those positive messages
worked better with students. Her
group applied that lesson to its
buddy system proposal, adding
ten rules of partying that correlate
with the research they did.
Count sheep, not shots, she
said, as an
example of a
rule. More
than 40 percent
of KU students
have not passed
out from drink-
ing.
Kretzer said
the University
of Nebraska
was a good
example of
effectively implementing a drink-
ing campaign, because it coordi-
nated the police, the community
and the university well.
Their community efforts are
intense, she said.
She said Lawrences partner-
ship between community and the
University isnt as strong as that in
Lincoln, Neb., but things like the
safe bar alliance another project
that used the class research are
improving that partnership.
Its being built right now, she
said.
Chief Ralph Oliver of the KU
Public Safety Office said the
University police have jumped
right on top of the campaign.
The logo is on a few police cars,
but not all yet.
When people have too much
alcohol, it can go medical or crim-
inal, he said. We prefer to deal
with less life-threatening situa-
tions.
Oliver said his officers would be
able to discuss it with anyone who
asks about the logo, like when they
work crowd control at a football or
basketball game.
DeSalvo said the community
pitched in with this campaign.
In addition to the funding from
OMalley Beverage, he said that
Lawrence-based advertising agen-
cy Callahan Creek donated the
campaign logo and bars around
town are now sporting the logo.
Its a mul-
tidimensional
effort, and we
are not alone
in this, he
said.
D e S a l v o
said that now
that his office
has debuted
the campaign
with its IACT
slogan, they
want to enhance it. He said the
office is developing a website for
it that he hopes will be up by the
beginning of spring semester. The
office is also developing a tool-
kit, planned for release early next
semester, that would give infor-
mation and advice, like how to
divert someones attention away
from drinking.
DeSalvo said no matter where
the campaign goes from here, it
will involve students input and
be student-centered. That makes
sense for a campaign started by
students.
Theyve given us the blueprint
for this program and we intend to
follow it, he said.

Fraternity fles
motion in lawsuit
Attorneys representing Sigma
Alpha epsilon, 1301 West Cam-
pus rd., fled a defense motion
in a a meeting of attorneys held
Wednesday. The motion is part
of a wrongful death lawsuit
fled by the family of former
student Jason Wren against the
fraternity. Wren, a 19-year-old
freshman from Littleton, Colo.,
died in SAe from alcohol poison-
ing March 8, 2009. The plantif in
the suit, Jasons father, Jay Wren,
alleges that fraternity members
failed to seek help for Jason the
night he died. The defendants in
the suit include the national and
local chapters of Sigma Alpha
epislon and 10 members of the
fraternity, listed as John does.
The motion submitted
Wednesday argued that John
Stacy, the president of the
board that owns the Kansas SAe
chapter, should not be included
as a defendant, as the plantif re-
quested in flings in October. At-
torneys for Wrens family argue
that the SAe college members
and Stacy should be legally held
accountable in the civil case for
Jasons death.
The plantif motion fled in
October also requested that
Mary Wren, Jasons mother, be
removed from the list of plantifs
following her death earlier this
year.
The trial is scheduled to begin
April 25. The next status confer-
ence is scheduled for dec. 17.

CoURTS
know what youre getting.
Plus, those extras might not
be doing much for your energy
level.
Tats all bogus, Chapman
said.
Cafeine and other stimulants
like guarana are giving that extra
boost. Also, most energy drinks
are high in sugar and calories.
Anything with high amounts of
those two will give you energy,
she said.
Ryan Fitzgerald, a sophomore
from Overland Park, said he
drinks energy drinks every day.
At least one, sometimes two,
he said.
He said he drinks them because
he likes the cafeine rush. In high
school, he said he used to drink
four energy drinks a day some-
times. He said hed get jittery, but
he got used to the feeling.
According to the Mayo Clinic,
200 to 300 milligrams of caf-
feine each day isnt unhealthy.
Te amount of cafeine in energy
drinks ranges from 74 to 160 mil-
ligrams. A cup of cofee, for ex-
ample, has about 95 milligrams.
But if someone starts consuming
upwards of 500 milligrams, that
can lead to problems like insom-
nia, irritability, anxiety or head-
aches.
Now, Fitzgerald said he drinks
fewer because theyre expensive.
Te jittery feelings and other side
efects never worried him much.
He said hes probably grown
dependent on the energy boost
and buzz from the drinks.
Tey can be addictive,
Fitzgerald said.

New Potter movie takes
flming outside of the set
Mcclatchy-tribune
Short of author J.K. Rowling,
no one has spent more time pre-
senting the tales of Harry Potter
than David Yates, director of the
last four movies in the epic film
series.
Ive been working on the mov-
ies for five or six years now. I
cant really remember, says Yates
in a telephone interview from
London. Its a rather hectic time
for Yates, who is in the middle
of furor for the world premiere
of Harry Potter and the Deathly
Hallows: Part 1 and editing the
second part to be released in July.
What Yates has done through
the years is create contrasts,
whether it be in the growth of
characters or the way the films
have been shot.
One great contrast apparent
with Part 1 was Yates getting
out into the real world to film.
He and his crew spent months
inside soundstages bringing
Harry Potter and the Order of
the Phoenix and Harry Potter
and the Half-Blood Prince to the
screen.
The latest Potter puts the
three central heroes Harry
(Daniel Radcliffe), Hermione
(Emma Watson) and Ron (Rupert
Grint) on the run from the evil
forces whove taken over the mag-
ical world.
It was
incredibly lib-
erating for me
and crew to be
able to shoot
in London
and across
the country-
side, Yates
said. Theres
the scene
where the
three of them are on the beach
and the tide is coming in. Daniel
is freezing but we just keep rolling
because we were able to capture
an energy and a moment that
would have been impossible to get
on a soundstage.
Yates loved the contrasts that
came from taking the three icon-
ic characters who had spent
almost all their time in magical
worlds and dropping them in
the gritty reality of downtown
London. He thinks the jeux de
position gives the film a huge
creative punch.
And then Yates fills the new
movie with quiet moments, such
as a dance sequence he calls a very
delicate and tender moment.
Whether on a soundstage or
location, Yates has created a very
distinct look for the Potter films
using light and dark as a metaphor
for the changes going on in the life
of the young magician. He wanted
the lighting to reflect the anger,
fear, joy and confusion Harry has
had to deal with through this long
film journey.
More con-
trasts are com-
ing. Yates said
theres a dra-
matic differ-
ence between
the two halves
of the finale.
Hes designed
the first half of
the Deathly
Hallows to be
an edgy road film accented with a
love story. Audiences will have to
fasten their seatbelts for Part 2.
The second film is going to
be this huge operatic tale full of
big battles and dragons, Yates
said. It will be this epic fantasy
finale.
The final scene at the end of
Part 1 is, Yates said, a small
sampling of what to expect with
the second movie.
Once the last Harry Potter
film has been released, Yates
will begin his search for a
new project.
It was incredibly liberat-
ing for me and crew to be
able to shoot in London
and the countryside.

Hulu launches new
online subscriptions
Mcclatchy-tribune
After lots of testing, the hit
online video site Hulu launched
its Hulu Plus pay service for $7.99
per month, Wednesday.
The price is $2 less than origi-
nally planned and undercuts, by
a dollar, the entry cost of Netflix,
Hulus biggest competitor in the
market for streaming premium
video content.
Since 2008, Hulu has streamed
current and past TV shows and
movies to PCs free, a service that
in October drew nearly 30 mil-
lion viewers who spent an aver-
age of 208 minutes on the site in
October, according to comScore.
What differentiates Hulu Plus
is the availability of full seasons of
current TV shows, such as Glee,
Modern Family and The
Office, provided by the networks
that started Hulu. Its now offer-
ing more than 240 seasons of TV
shows with 2,400 episodes.
The availability of network
shows has made Hulu a useful
service for consumers moving
away from cable TV services,
although the free version of Hulu
may lose some of its appeal if the
site moves more premium con-
tent behind its pay wall.
Hulu is taking its time with
the Plus launch, though. For now
the premium service will only
be available on streaming media
devices made by Roku and Sonys
PlayStation 3 game console. The
company said that covers more
than 50 million devices in the
U.S. That does not include users
who access the service on their
Apple products or their home
computers.
Its aiming to be as ubiquitous
on Web-connected TV devices as
Netflix. Hulu Plus will be avail-
able in the months to come
on the Xbox 360, TiVo Premiere
DVRs and Internet-connected
TVs and Blu-ray players made by
Vizio, LG and Panasonic.
Hulu Plus is also coming soon
to mobile phones, tablet comput-
ers, and additional devices.

A
midst economic decline
and still drowning in
campaign debt, President
Bush suddenly pulled his
support of the Kyoto Protocol
in 2001. Tis was a move that,
in retrospect, efectively defned
his administrations future eforts
at curbing global warming:
halfearted and misguided.
Since then, an international
agreement on climate change has
been a pipe dream. Its time for
Obama to reverse the trend and
fnally allow the United States to be
the leader it should have been nine
years ago.
Te Kyoto Protocol was agreed
upon in 1997 in Kyoto, Japan. It
requires signatory countries to
cut emissions of greenhouse gases
such as carbon dioxide, a step
that scientists agree is a necessary
starting point in reversing global
warming. Global warming has
been proven to disrupt weather
patterns, raise sea levels, harm
wildlife, and contribute to higher
rates of asthma and allergies.
Nearly all industrialized
countries have ratifed the
Protocol, including Japan, most
of Europe, Russia, India, and
China. Te United States which is
responsible for just under a quarter
of all carbon dioxide emissions,
remains a signatory but has not yet
ratifed.
President Bush called the Kyoto
Protocol an unrealistic and
ever-tightening straightjacket,
because it put the United States
at an economic disadvantage and
was far too limiting. In contrast,
President Obama stated during
his campaign, My presidency will
mark a new chapter in Americas
leadership on climate change that
will strengthen our security and
create millions of new jobs in the
process.
Tough it pains me to admit
it, President Obamas stance on
climate change since the campaign
trail has been largely symbolic.
And now with exactly half of the
Republican newcomers to the new
Congress denying human infuence
on climate change, according to the
Center for American Progress, the
future looks grim.
Te presumptive Speaker of
the House, John Boehner, said in
April 2009, on ABCs Tis Week
with George Stephanopoulos that,
Te idea that carbon dioxide is a
carcinogen that is harmful to our
environment is almost comical.
However, there are realistic
options for the Obama
administration that could end our
decade-long dry spell on climate
change progress. Moving away
from the clearly controversial
cap-and-trade approach to an
energy independence approach is
key. President Obama can easily
convince the new Congress and
the American people of the need
for American independence from
foreign oil and a renewed focus on
alternative energy sources.
Talks on climate change are
going to be held in Cancun in
December. In between resort-
hopping, President Obama should
not only be an instrumental part of
policy discussions, but also prove
to those countries that doubt our
intentions that the United States
will play a very diferent role than
it did under President Bush.
Tis is one of the few issues
you can be optimistic about
with the new Congress. With
some reframing of the approach,
President Obama can make great
progress on climate change.
Tough we cant take back our nine
years of inaction, it is certainly
time to turn the page on one of,
if not the most, pressing issues of
our time.

Can you imagine waking up
one day and discovering your
country does not approve you
to get married or serving in the
military because youd rather
be kissing Cinderella than the
prince? Caroline Bledowskis
column from Nov. 15th about
DADT reminded me that the
fght for gay rights is far from
over. I believe everyone deserves
the right to marry the person
they love, gender be damned.
If we keep on saying, soldiers
will worry about the guy they
are sleeping next to instead of
terrorists if we repeal DADT,
we are reinforcing fear, not
camaraderie. Te military
believes in integrity and honesty.
I dont see any integrity or
honesty in telling soldiers to
keep their homosexuality quiet
while allowing heterosexuals
to freely talk about personal
lives. All the homosexuals I
know in the military serve just
as bravely as their heterosexual
counterparts, but they are even
lonelier because they cant go
out and firt with someone of
the same sex without the fear
of being discharged. Te life of
a soldier is lonely. Gay soldiers
have it worse because they cant
talk about their personal lives
or to their partners on the same
level as heterosexual soldiers. Te
soldiers I know dont think about
whom is sleeping near them.
Tey keep their minds on their
mission. If were so concerned
about people of the same sex
sleeping together, we should
probably fx dormitories too.
Afer all, those are separated into
single gender sleeping areas, thus
they are more dangerous grounds
for homosexual acts to occur.
Yes, you could catch the gay
if sleeping near someone who
is gay because every gay person
is attracted to every person of
the same sex, just like every
heterosexual is attracted to every
member of the opposite sex. Also,
pigs could fy.

According to Nielsen Internet
ratings, YouTube was the number
one most visited Internet video
site in the U.S. during September,
totaling over 100 million unique
users.
While a statistic like that prob-
ably doesnt incite a reaction of
shock and awe, one might be inter-
ested to know that YouTube beat
out the number two most visited
site for video content (Facebook)
by about 68 million users. I think
its safe to say the average Ameri-
can heads to YouTube for their
daily video content fx.
If youre a regular YouTuber
then Im sure youve found yourself
reading the video comments sec-
tion, maybe even posting a few
words of praise or criticism.
Personally, Ive spent a long
time avoiding entrance into heated
YouTube comment wars. Lately
however, I fnd myself tempted
to respond not so much to the
video I just watched but to other
users comments.
As the days grow shorter during
these approaching winter months,
so does my patience for assholes.
Yes, assholes. Last night I watched
a really bad music video on You-
Tube (Ill refrain from inserting
song and artist information as
not to ofend anybodys personal
tastes) and was curious to see
peoples feedback on the video. I
knew I hated it but it was criti-
cally acclaimed, and I hoped that
a quick down scroll would provide
me with some insight as to what I
was missing. Afer all, this video
had thousands of thumbs up!
Instead of discovering musical
revelations, I found myself reading
hundreds of comments endorsing
and debating smoking weed and
doing other drugs (quoted men-
tions include shrooms, da Xtacy
and oxycotton). I mean, this song
did have drug references dont
get me wrong. But any able-bodied
Google user could have easily done
a lyrics search and realized that
the song wasnt putting the cool
stamp of approval on drug use but
was merely discussing this artists
need for an escape tool (believe
me, there werent any complicated
metaphors here). And no, Im not
about to start on an anti-drug rant
thats not my point and not my
place.
What Im saying here is that
whatever debate might have
existed that was actually pertinent
to the song had become buried
beneath a slew of personal attacks,
copied and pasted Erowid factoids
and just dumb arguments (both
in defense and in opposition of
drugs). Now, technically, I could
have saved myself the irritation
by simply navigating away from
the site. Clearly, drug use is a sore
subject for me. Sitting on YouTube
and allowing my anxiety to esca-
late was not the best move.
But alas, once I started it seemed
impossible to stop. I read and
read and then read some more.
Tere were moments where I felt
my heart drop into the pit of my
stomach especially afer reading
something along the lines of, your
friend is fucking dumb and he
didnt know how shoot up the right
way, he deserved to die.
I couldnt help but think, who
the hell is the asshole and what
propels him/her to take time out of
their day to talk that kind of shit?
It was moments like this, that went
so beyond your pothead vs. sober
guy debate and endorsements of
experimentation in moderation,
that it was clear that some people
werent interested in weighing in
on the already of-topic issue
they just wanted to be dicks.
Its unfortunate that some people
have decided to use the number
one video site on the Internet to
spread their hate and agenda. Te
beautiful thing about open forums
is that they allow you to express
your opinions and discuss issues.
Like many good things handed to
us on a golden platter, people in
our society have managed to take
negative advantage of the forum
something that could have been,
and may still be, a powerful and
useful tool for us to honestly learn
from one another.

When debating incumbent
Jimmy Carter in 1980, challenger
Ronald Reagan scored by reply-
ing to Carters arguments with a
simple, scornful Tere you go
again. Tough I was no fan of
Reagan, I cite him in the wake of
another Seth Robinson column
that embarrasses its author.
Seths targets in his 11.11.2010
column are Obamacare and
the toll it takes on taxpayers.
Known for sweeping denuncia-
tions of the federal government,
Seth outdoes himself: Nobody
should be forced to give his or
her money away for anything,
he proclaims. Taken at face
value, this is hard to dispute.
But I think Seth really means to
say that Obamacare exempli-
fes the tyranny of taxation.
Lets assume Seths right. Lets
also imagine that Congressional
Republicans repeal Obamacare
and override the Presidents veto.
Tat would still leave lots of
forcible confscation of citizens
hard-earned money unad-
dressed.
Would Seth have the persis-
tence to keep pursuing his ideal?
Unlikely, since he benefts from
what he calls robbery. Al-
though Seth boasts that private
donations helped build KUs
engineering school, he fails to
acknowledge that public dona-
tions (i.e., tax revenues) help
make his education possible.
Perhaps Seth doesnt know
(or doesnt want to know) that
the Obama stimulus has
provided almost $20 million to
KU research: http://www.rgs.
ku.edu/leadership/researchstim-
ulus/. Even though he frequents
Learned Hall, maybe Seth has
missed the billboard near its
main entrance. Tat billboard
displays information about how
stimulus funds, combined with
private sector initiatives, are
working to improve the facility
where he earns his degree.
Seth denies that oppos-
ing Obamacare makes him
greedy. Tat much is true, but
his actions tell a diferent story.
If Seth truly believes all taxation
is robbery, he must give up his
public university privileges and
transfer to an institution funded
wholly and voluntarily by private
donors. So long as he remains at
KU, there is no reason to believe
that Seth lives up to his stated
principle and every reason to
believe that he is greedy.

Imagine your life in 60 years. You
oversleep and are awakened by a
walking, talking robot checking to
make sure you are all right.
Within five years, this could be
a reality for the increasing elderly
population of the world.
Jim Juola, a professor of cognitive
psychology, is part of an interna-
tional team designing a robot that
would provide in-home care for the
elderly. He is the only person from
the United States to be working on
the project, which is funded by the
European Comission. The project
is called K-SERA Knowledgable
Service Robots for the Aging.
The goal is to have a personal
care assistant that provides contact
with other humans easily, Juola
said. It provides reminders of
things like appointments, medica-
tions and exercises.
The population of people age
65 and older is increasing rapidly,
and more than half of people 85 or
older suffer from signs of dementia,
said Juola. In the United States, 13
percent of the population is over 65,
according to the 2010 U.S. census.
Te U.S. Census Bureau projects
that number will increase to 19.7
percent in 2030.
I never realized just how many
elderly people there were or that
needed care, said Elizabeth Olson,
a senior from Wichita. Our gen-
eration really doesnt realize how
much care they will need.
Olson worked for a year at Life
Care Center of Andover as a nurse
providing care for the elderly.
You do literally everything for
them, from feeding to bathing,
Olsen said. Its literally like taking
care of a five-year-old.
The robot, which is named Nao
and manufactured by Aldebaran
Robotics in France, tracks the
humans movements. If the human
looks at it, it will return the gaze.
If the persons gaze is focused else-
where, Nao will look to where he or
she is looking.
The robot is only two and a half
feet tall, and is capable of speaking
multiple languages.
Olson, however, explains that
caring for the elderly requires more
than just behavioral and medical
attention.
One of the biggest roles of a
nurse is emotional care, said Olson.
You need to let them know you do
care, because a lot of times the
elderly feel very lonely.
Juola said the robot can offer
some aspect of companionship to
patients.
The robot should provide news,
films and TV clips, which are pro-
jected from within it onto any sur-
face, Juola said. It also can evaluate
the patients mental and emotional
state, through behavior and conver-
sation, and suggest activities.
Many patients who require assist-
ed living have lost their spouses or
are no longer in contact with other
family members.
Olson remembers one of her
patients who would wait by the
door during family visitation hours
expecting someone to come. She
had no friends or family left.
At that point in their life, they
may have no visitors, Olson said.
They may have lost spouses or
other family members. You have to
provide them someone to talk to
and someone to turn to.
Juola said the robot would give
caregivers peace of mind.
Long-term care can be exhaust-
ing, because of worry or a lack of
freedom, Juola said. Children and
caregivers of the elderly could at
the very least go on with their lives
knowing that contact with outside
help would be instantaneous.
A camera inside the robot will
recognize if a patient requires assis-
tance and will call for help if need-
ed. Patients will be able to program
emergency contact information in
to the robot.
Within a year, the robot will be
put into nursing homes and hospi-
tals for testing.
The robot costs $25,000. But
a year in a nursing home, Juola
explains, costs around $50,000,
making the robot a social and eco-
nomic solution to a growing prob-
lem. Eventually, the robot will be
used in-home to offset the costs of
other methods of assisted living.
Those are the kind of people
who you really have to step in and
be their family, said Olson. The
robot would have to be able to pro-
vide that for them and be the next
best thing.

As the Jayhawks and Wildcats
prepare to battle for Big 12 basket-
ball supremacy, there is another
important competition this year
with bragging rights on the line.
The Take Charge Challenge,
a $100,000 sustainability con-
test that will match Lawrence
and the University of Kansas
against Manhattan and Kansas
State University, was agreed to
by city commissioners earlier this
month. The contest will measure
each communitys ability to save
energy.
Were trying to bring people
together with a few common
goals in mind saving energy,
saving money and helping your
community win, said Dorothy
Barnett, director of energy and
transmission for the Climate and
Energy Project, an organizer of
the competition.
The challenge, supported by
the aforementioned Climate and
Energy Project and the state-run
Kansas Energy Office, will weigh
Lawrence and Manhattan in three
categories from January through
September of 2011 to determine
the community that has reduced
its energy usage the most. The
winning community will then
receive a $100,000 grant to start
a public energy efficiency project
in its city.
The three categories include:
The percentage of residents
that sign up for home energy
audits from Efficiency Kansas, a
state program from the Kansas
Energy Office.
The percentage of residents
that sign up for Westar Energys
EfficiencyWorks programs, which
can include the installation of
programmable thermostats and
heat pump systems.
The percentage of residents
that switch their incandescent
light bulbs with more energy effi-
cient compact fluorescent light
bulbs (which will be recorded on
a Phillips Lighting website).
Jeff Severin, the director of
the Center for Sustainability, will
be on the Lawrence leadership
team for the competition and
plans to meet with Kansas State
representatives soon to determine
measurements that are more
university-related.
With this extra element of
competition between in-state
rivals, it raises the bar in terms of
getting people interested in reduc-
ing their energy use, Severin said.
Well certainly try to get our
campus community involved to
take advantage of that.
This intercity challenge is also
part of a larger statewide effort by
the Lawrence-based Climate and
Energy Project. The Climate and
Energy Project sponsored a simi-
lar competition last year among
six Kansas communities, and has
raised it to 16 communities this
year.
With money from the American
Recovery and Reinvestment
Act of 2009, both Lawrence and
Manhattan will receive $25,000
grants from the Kansas Energy
Office to fund the challenge. Five
local coordinators are also being
hired by the Climate and Energy
Project for the contest.
Margaret Tran, the Lawrence
coordinator and a recent KU grad-
uate, said one of the main focuses
of the challenge will be raising
awareness among students.
Combining forces with stu-
dents at KU will allow that natural
rivalry to carry over to this energy
efficiency competition, she said.
The winner will accept a
$100,000 grant next October that
can be used on any type of energy
efficiency or renewable energy
project in their city, though the
specific details of this have not
been discussed yet. The Take
Charge Challenge will also give
three other $100,000 grants to the
winners from the 14 other partici-
pating communities.
Eileen Horn, the sustainabil-
ity coordinator for Lawrence and
Douglas County, said she hoped
the challenge would make energy
efficiency both fun and cost effec-
tive.
Energy efficiency can be dif-
ficult to sell to people sometimes
because it isnt very visible, Horn
said, but it has a dramatic impact
on your energy savings.

When Carolyn Davis stepped
on the floor, her mission was clear:
exploit her height and size advan-
tage against Texas A&M Corpus
Christi. Just seven minutes into
the game, she had already scored
14 points and nailed all six of her
shots.
With this kind of offensive pro-
duction, KUs 85-44 victory wasnt
shocking. Still, coach Bonnie
Henrickson was unsatisfied. Plain
and simple, she said the Jayhawks
performance was just ugly.
I didnt care what the score was,
Henrickson said. It was about exe-
cution, about effort, about how
were supposed to play.
Maintaining their four-game
winning streak, the Jayhawks came
out strong. But what seemed like a
strong start quickly translated into
a series of sloppy offensive and
defense possessions.
With 13 minutes left on the
clock before halftime, senior guard
Marisha Brown ended that trend
when she grabbed a steal and fin-
ished on the other end. In her first
career start, Brown finished with
eight points, five rebounds and
two steals.
Henrickson said her defensive
and rebounding aggressiveness
made her ready for the starting
spot.
Still, it was Davis 22 points that
led the Jayhawks.
I want to carry my team, Davis
said. I know what I can do inside
and I want to make my teammates
better.
Halfway through the first half,
Davis headed to the bench. As
the Islanders edged closer, coach
Bonnie Henrickson called on
Davis offensive production to
recover the lead. The energy she
added to the court was palpable.
She ended the half with 20 points
and helped the Jayhawks hold a
44-26 halftime lead.
We got it to her pretty quick,
Henrickson said. I was like,
Throw her the play until you cant
get it to her anymore.
Davis had just a few touches
in Sundays game against the
University of South Dakota and
refused to allow that happen again.
She demanded the ball inside and
her guards got it her.
Thats not to say KUs offensive
play was perfect, or anything close
to it. The Islanders took advantage
of the Jayhawks 13 first-half turn-
overs, converting them into 14 first
half points.
Kansas finished with 29 turn-
overs in the game.
What seemed like a different
team at the start of the half ended
up no less sloppy than before the
break. The Jayhawks started the
second half with an 8-0 scoring
streak that forced visiting coach
Robert Robinson to call a timeout
less than three minutes into play.
We got down early and that
kind of destroyed our confidence,
Robinson said.
The self-proclaimed incon-
sistent player, Aisha Sutherland
didnt show that side against the
Islanders. In just 21 minutes, she
scored 13 points, grabbed 13
rebounds and had two blocks and
three steals.
The last game I let my player
get a few shots off, so Ive been
working on making sure that
doesnt happen again, Sutherland
said. Ive always been a rebound-
er, but this time I made sure to go
to the boards every time.
The Jayhawks maintained a
steady lead, despite the fact that
they hit their first shot from
behind the arc with only six min-
utes left in the game.
The teams outside shooter, soph-
omore guard Monica Engelman,
scored only six points in the first
half, but finished with 10 by the
end of the game. Henrickson said
she was confused by her hesitance
to shoot, something she doesnt see
in practice.
I got myself in a funk that I had
no business being in, Engelman
said.
Engelman said she hoped the
team would improve offensively
both inside and outside. She said
it would be important to do both
against tougher teams, like the
Wisconsin squad the Jayhawks face
at 5 p.m. Sunday.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
Marcus Morris, before the sea-
son started, said that he had two
goals in his career. The first was
one that any basketball player will
give you: Win a national cham-
pionship. The second was a bit
more unique.
I cant, cant, CANT go out
saying that they lost at home
when I was here, he said. Cant
do that. My senior year, too. I
cant. Theres no way. Ive got to
win every game here. Ive got to.
So far, so good. Through 57
career home games Marcus has
yet to stumble, and the Jayhawks
home winning streak has run for
a total of 61.
Sixty-two games. Its enough to
be two full seasons. And if Kansas
wins Friday against North Texas,
itll be how many games in a row
Kansas will have won at Allen
Fieldhouse, which ESPN ranked
as the loudest arena in all of col-
lege basketball this offseason.
It doesnt count for anything
official, of course, but coach Bill
Self, who has lost six home games
in his seven years at Kansas, said
he is pretty proud of the streak.
Its not the most important
streak, Self said. Id rather win
six in a row in March and April
than 60 in a row at home, theres
no question.
For the players, the streak
seems to play the role of both
an accomplishment to be proud
of and a cross to bear. Morris,
Mario Little and Tyshawn Taylor
all responded
to questions
about the
streak with
the same
basic formu-
la: Yeah, its
something we
take pride in,
but we do not
want to be
the guys who
screw it up.
I dont want to be a part of the
team that breaks it, Taylor said.
I dont want to be around when
that happens.
Morris painted the same pic-
ture.
I strive day in and day out to
make sure that streak continues,
he said. Because I dont want
that streak to end while Im here.
I dont want it to be like, Aw, it
ended during the Morris twins
era.
The last time Kansas lost on
its home court, it was to a Texas
A&M team with a coach, Billy
Gillispie, who left to coach anoth-
er team and is now unemployed
and a star player, Acie Law IV,
who is now a three-year veteran
with his second NBA team.
Brady Morningstar is the only
Jayhawk who has lost on James
Naismith Court.
The Jayhawks give credit to
the fans, as
well. Marcus
Morris said the
Fieldhouse has
the best home-
court advantage
in the country,
and Bill Self
said there were
some games
that Kansas
never would
have won on
another floor.
Weve had some wins that
youd think that there was no
way we could pull off without the
sixth man, Self said. The crowd
made the difference.
Edited by Joel Petterson
I
was upset to see the error mes-
sage, Sorry, that page doesnt
exist! when I went to check
junior guard Tyshawn Taylors twit-
ter account, @tytocool10. But the
more I think about it, I need to give
kudos to Taylor. It took some per-
sonal willpower to get off Twitter. A
year ago, Taylor was at the center of
the confrontation between the foot-
ball and basketball teams and post-
ed several statuses on his Facebook.
Taylor deleted his Facebook back in
January and recently reactivated it
right before the school year started.
When asked why he got off
Twitter, Taylor said, Just cause,
man. He said that he has to stay
off for a little while. I am hoping he
gets back on after the season starts
because his tweets are entertaining,
but Taylor isnt sure if he will. He is
thinking about it, but he may just
stay off for a while.
I think its good for athletes, espe-
cially college athletes, to deactivate
their accounts. I sometimes procras-
tinate from important work because
I am too busy tweeting and reading
others tweets. A student athletes
focus is to be a student first and an
athlete second.
Of the players on the basketball
team, seven have Twitter accounts.
I dont know how much the play-
ers check what their followers say
to them, but I can just imagine it
being a distraction if somebody says
something negative. I think there is
too much attention drawn to some
of these athletes.
Recently, Detroit Pistons for-
ward Charlie Villanueva tweeted
that Boston Celtics forward Kevin
Garnett called Villanueva a cancer
patient. The Boston Celtics direc-
tor of basketball operations, Danny
Ainge, said on Boston sports radio
station WEEI that the tweet from
Villanueva didnt make light of the
situation, but rather called unneces-
sary attention to himself. I agree
with Ainge, and knowing the clean
track record of Garnett, I wouldnt
suspect him of calling Villanueva a
cancer patient. Besides, Garnett said
in an interview with ESPN Boston,
My comment to Charlie Villanueva
was in fact You are cancerous to
your team and our league, I would
never be insensitive to the brave
struggle that cancer patients endure.
I have lost loved ones to this deadly
disease and have a family member
currently undergoing treatment. I
would never say anything that dis-
tasteful. The game of life is far big-
ger than the game of basketball.
Twitter just gets players in trou-
ble. Last season, former Chiefs run-
ning back Larry Johnson had tweets
toward coach Todd Haley saying
that Johnsons father had more
credentials to coach and that Todd
Haley had no football experience.
There is a reason that leagues like
the NFL and NBA banned players
from tweeting during the any part
of their games, including halftime.
It is a distraction to the player and
to teammates.
As a journalist, I love that players
have Twitter. It allows the media
some access to their thoughts when
we cant talk to them in person. But
I would love to see the NCAA make
a rule that puts a limit on social
media, because the players are play-
ing for the name on the front, not
the back.

F
irst it was Todd Reesing. Now Tim
Tebow. These two are the most recent
contributors to a bizarre trend in the
world of sports literature. Its called (so far,
just by me) the mini-moir.
Mini-moirs are similar to memoirs, but,
as in the case of Reesing and Tebow, theyre
written by people who are at the stage in life
where they have no business writing mem-
oirs yet. Reesing published his mini-moir
Rising to New Heights earlier this fall,
while publisher HarperCollins announced
last week that Tebow planned on releasing
his own mini-moir, Through My Eyes, in
April 2011.
At first, it seems ridiculous to write an
account of ones life just a few months after
earning a college degree. Itd be sort of like
the Olson twins getting a lifetime-achieve-
ment award.
But its actually a smart move for the two
former NCAA quarterbacks. Tebow made
it to the NFL, but theres no guarantee how
long he can cut it in the pros. Reesing had
even less luck in the ruthless CFL, get-
ting cut by the powerhouse Saskatchewan
Roughriders after a few weeks in training
camp.
Thus, whatever money either quarter-
back can make from their mini-moirs will
certainly be welcome. In fact, the athlete-
author role might be a good career move for
a few other Jayhawks. If Justin Bieber can
write a mini-moir (which he has), surely
anyone can. And heres a few Kansas ath-
letes, past and present, who could get away
with writing a mini-moir:
Josh Selby Selby has accomplished
even less in his life than Reesing and
Tebow, so he could write a great mini-moir.
Itd be a cliffhanger the story of a young
boy from Baltimore who perseveres through
all kinds of hardships and earns a scholar-
ship to a top college basketball program.
There, however, he is stifled by the Man (the
NCAA) who prevents him from doing what
the poor kid has wanted to do since he was
little: just play ball. Selby would persevere
and learn valuable lessons about himself,
but the book would end abruptly before the
NCAA makes an announcement. Itd be a
great setup for the sequel.
C.J. Henry Remember C.J.? The big
brother of one-and-done Xavier? The one
who wasnt a lottery pick in the NBA Draft?
The one who now plays at a small NAIA
school in Oklahoma? He could certainly
write an interesting mini-moir. It would tell
the story of how, through grit and deter-
mination, he worked his way from being
merely a first-round draft pick by the New
York Yankees to riding the bench on two
different NCAA basketball teams before
finally arriving as a star on the Southern
Nazarene University basketball team. What
a roller coaster ride. Seemingly a downhill
ride, but thats the fun part of a roller coaster
anyway. He could use his mini-moir to
explain exactly where hes headed with this
backwards career.
Mario Chalmers Chalmers could start
a whole new genre: the ultra-mini-moir.
His whole book would detail just the seven
seconds in the 2008 national championship
game starting with the inbound pass and
ending as his shot falls through the basket.
Hed have chapter titles like Watching
Darnell Jackson inbound the ball, What
went through my head when Sherron
tripped and Bringing the ball from my
waist to my shoulders. Dont act like you
wouldnt read it, because you would. And
youd love it.

COLUMBIA, S.C. Lee Corso
was not the only person who didnt
think Steve Spurrier could win big
at South Carolina.
One SEC coach, speaking on
condition of anonymity, told the
Washington Post when Spurrier
took the job that, Hes sacrific-
ing his legacy for a green jacket
(at Augusta National). Hes going
to get his head beat in at South
Carolina.
There were a bunch of us who
said, South Carolina? Never. I
dont care what you do, Charles
Davis, who covers the SEC and the
NFL for Fox, said.
Davis admitted Tuesday that
they were all wrong. Spurrier
who famously asked Why not
us? at his introductory news con-
ference six years ago led the
Gamecocks to their first SEC East
title with Saturdays victory against
Florida.
He just went back to where
he made his bones, beat the heck
out of a team that has won two
national championships in the last
five seasons, and it wasnt a field
goal late it was convincing,
Davis said. Bear Bryant will
always be the standard in the
SEC, but Spurrier is in that upper
echelon.
Spurrier took some time
Tuesday during his news confer-
ence to reflect on the title, but
not much. The No. 17 Gamecocks
play Troy on Saturday at Williams-
Brice Stadium.
It was a wonderful weekend
last week for the Gamecocks. For
us to get a division championship
for the first time was certainly
special for all
Gamecocks,
he said. I do
want to thank
the baseball
team for get-
ting it started
and prov-
ing you could
certainly win
championships
here at South
Carolina.
With a win in the Dec. 4 SEC
championship game, Spurrier
would become the third coach to
win SEC titles at two different
schools, joining Bryant (Kentucky
and Alabama) and Nick Saban
(LSU and Alabama).
Its big for his legacy, and its
great for ours, too, South Carolina
junior Akeem Auguste said. He
probably is just as excited as we
are.
If he is, hes trying to hide it.
Thats only half of the SEC,
Spurrier said. Well worry about
the other half in three weeks.
Spurrier is second behind
Bryant in SEC victories with 110.
If the Gamecocks beat Auburn
in Atlanta, he will move into sole
possession of second place in SEC
titles. His six titles are tied with
former Mississippi coach John
Vaught and former Georgia coach
Vince Dooley. Florida finished
first in 1990 under Spurrier, but
the Gators were on probation and
the conference doesnt recognize
the championship.
Spurrier did seem to be enjoy-
ing the title in Gainesville, Fla.,
after beating the Gators, senior
offensive line-
man Hutch
Eckerson said.
As you
know, coach
Spurrier is a
perfectionist,
Eckerson said.
If he tells you,
you did a good
job, you can
believe that.
Ev e r y b o d y
was all smiles.
Spurrier was not worried about
ruining his legacy by coming to
traditionally downtrodden South
Carolina, he said Tuesday.
I really wanted to come to
South Carolina for one reason _
because South Carolina had not
won much since 1969, he said.
Everything was out there to do
for the first time. It was neat to
accomplish that.
While admitting he was wrong,
Davis, who played defensive back
at Tennessee, defended the logic
of those who bet against the Head
Ball Coach.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. A little
more than three weeks ago, a tri-
ple-option offense turned Notre
Dames defense into a pile of goo.
Navy ran and the Irish defense
went runny, holding little form
and offering little function.
Another military academy,
Army, with another potent
option attack, awaits Saturday
at Yankee Stadium. The Irish
scoured film of any team with a
three-lineman front to uncover
clues to defending the scheme
and avoiding another calamity.
Is seeing relieving? It better be
if the Irish dont want the Black
Knights to trample their sud-
denly rekindled bowl hopes.
You know the speed of the
game and you know how fast
the offense
is going to
move, Irish
nose guard
Sean Cwynar
said. The
pace, how fast
the fullback is
going to hit
the hole, how
the linemen
are going to
move.
Its things weve seen before,
to a certain extent, because weve
had that whole week of practice
against it. Most teams only have
that one shot at it. Were sort of
happy we have this next shot.
Defensive coordinator Bob
Diaco, who was not made avail-
able for comment this week,
described the scheme that
allowed Navy to run for 367
yards as an absolute mess. No
particulars were divulged for
altering the approach against
Army, ranked eighth in the coun-
try with 272.8 rushing yards per
game and averaging 31 points.
A defenses familiarity with the
option, however, can breed con-
tent: On the reverse track as the
Irish, Duke lost to Army, then
defeated Navy in its second foray
against the option.
Its easier, Irish defensive end
Ethan Johnson said. The scout
team knows what theyre doing.
Its not as new
for them, so
they give you
a better look.
Tuesdays look
is a lot bet-
ter than last
time.
Said defen-
sive end
Kapron Lewis-
Moore: You
have to use
your hands, you have to play low,
you have to play hard. We have to
learn from our mistakes.
Theres not a whole lot I can
say, Johnson said, other than
we need to play better.

The Womens Osito Jacket
BY Ethan PadwaY
epadway@kansan.com
With all the scandals that hap-
pen in sports, the good aspects of
players often get overlooked.
Senior safety Olaitan Oguntodu
has a lot of those good aspects.
He arrived at
the University
of Kansas in
January 2006,
480 miles
from his home
in Mesquite,
Texas, with a
child on the
way. Oguntodu
pushed himself academically for
his family and will leave Kansas in
five years with two undergradu-
ate business degrees and a mas-
ters in business administration,
an accomplishment that would be
tough for any student, let alone a
varsity athlete.
Oguntodu was born in Nigeria
before moving
to Texas with
his family
when he was
six years old.
From an early
age, his par-
ents instilled
upon him the
i mp or t a nc e
of getting an
education.
It was every
day in making sure that we were in
line and making sure that I was
able to follow the leadership that
my brothers and sisters provided.
School definitely came first in our
house, Oguntodu said.
Oguntodu wants to create a
business to help professional ath-
letes prepare properly for their
lives after they are done compet-
ing athletically. He has seen too
many athletes get taken advantage
of because they do not know who
to trust. The athletes are then left
to pick up the pieces while every-
one around them laughs at them.
Therefore I think that there
are people in positions to change
that, and the only way you change
things is for one individual to
decide that it is time for this to
stop, Oguntodu said.
Growing up for six years in
Nigeria has also shaped how
Oguntodu views raising his four-
year-old daughter, Kloi.
It was an experience that, for
some selfish reasons, I kind of
want my daughter to experience
because it gives you an appre-
ciation of others. It gives you an
appreciation of what is going
around in the world but I mean,
I said that, but
its rough so you
have to take it
with a grain of
salt, Oguntodu
said.
Ogunt odus
e x p e r i e n c e
growing up has
also helped him
handle a dif-
ficult season
where he started the first half of
the season at safety before being
switched to linebacker and see-
ing much less playing time on the
field. It has also helped him lead
a defensive unit that has struggled
at times and a team that has seen
more lows than highs in the last
year.
I think he is the consummate
team player, defensive coordina-
tor Carl Torbush said. He hasnt
been a moaner or groaner. I think
he has been a solid leader. Even
when things have been tough, he
has competed.

Oguntodu balances school,
family and playing football
BY SaRa KRUGER
skruger@kansan.com
As classes grow more challeng-
ing nearing finals week, a team of
Kansas students holds on to hope
through playing Frisbee. For two
years, Ultimate Frisbee has repre-
sented relaxation and the end of
the week to this team.
Every Friday the team deemed
the Navigators get together and
play a game of Frisbee, named
Frisbee Fridays.
Sophomore Brandon Ware
says he starts looking forward to
Frisbee Fridays starting Monday
mornings, and the team agrees.
Sometimes, Frisbee Fridays can
take out, even trump class.
Its probably the highlight of
my Friday afternoon, junior Levi
Dermyer. I have lab usually, but
as I like to tell my teacher, Ive
got some teaching to do on the
Frisbee field.
The teams are selected through
a coin toss, and afterward ana-
lyzed to make sure the teams are
fair, based on experience level.
Players are ranked based off tal-
ent similar to football and track.
The faster and more agile a player,
the better.
Everyone is so encouraging,
sophomore Mallory Bayles said,
Even when I miss a pass, they
still give me high fives and tell me
good try.
Ultimate Frisbee serves as a
stress reliever, as well as a chance
to be competitive. Strategy in a
game with two rules no run-
ning with the Frisbee, and no
dropping the Frisbee has to be
creative.
Nothing makes me feel better
than sneaking a pass into one of
my teammates in the end zone,
Ware said.
Teammate Dermyer agrees.
The mental highlight reel in
my mind is filled each week with
dominant defensive plays, most-
ly people rejecting the Frisbee.
Something just seems good about
that, he said.
Frisbee can seem pretty inno-
cent, but the Frisbee Friday team
makes sure to keep things inter-
esting. Ware leaves plenty of room
for smack talk.
They think Im pretty good,
he said, Im definitely not the
best out there but I can hold my
own against almost anyone.
Smack talk is not all that is
being thrown around on the
Frisbee field; some minor injuries
have occurred in play.
It can get
pretty intense,
Bayles said, A
lot of times, we
will end up on
the ground.
Both Bayles
and Ware have
come out of a
game with
bruises and
scrapes.
Ever yone
gets banged up from time to time.
There have been a few collisions,
elbows, slips, etc., he said.
Fond memories have been cre-
ated through the team. Ware said
one of his favorite memories was
beating his six-and-a-half-foot
tall teammate, Craig Bell, to a
catch.
Craig catches nearly everything
that comes near him, whether he
is on offense or defense, he said.
Any time I can beat the odds and
catch it near him is always a good
feeling.
At the end of the day, it is all
fun and games, and a chance to
meet new friends. Ware said he
has made some of his best friends
on the team.
But with Winter Break fast
approaching, the weather is
beginning to take a turn for the
worse.
If its really
bad weather
on Friday, we
usually dont
play, sopho-
more Becky
Coonrod said.
While the
weather is
tolerable, the
team is hoping
to get as many
games in as possible, welcoming
all new players.
It is open for anyone to play,
Bayles said, We always love new
members.

Kansas posts were a dominant
force during its 85-44 victory over
the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi
Islanders. Junior forward Aishah
Sutherland and sophomore for-
ward Carolyn Davis were standout
players on both ofense and de-
fense, especially compared to their
performances in the Saturdays
game against South Dakota.
In the frst half alone, Davis
made nine of 10 feld goal attempts
with two additional free throws.
Tat gave her 20 points in the frst
half - a big improvement from her
12 total points against South Da-
kota. She led the frst half in points
for both games.
Davis played for fve minutes
in the second half and hit one of
three feld goals. She did gain two
ofensive rebounds to bring her to-
tal to seven, which matches her re-
bounding performance during the
South Dakota game.
Davis recognized that this was
not the same level of post play that
she will be facing in Big 12 play.
I think I see that the teams are
smaller and I am just using that to
my advantage, she said. A lot of
times coach is saying that I was not
being demanding of the ball and I
think she is right. I was settling for
just playing behind and getting the
lob. I think I need to start playing
bigger and understanding that the
teams we are going to play against
are going to be bigger.
Playing alongside Davis was
Sutherland, who acted as a com-
manding rebounder with four of-
fensive and fve defensive rebounds
during the frst half. She also con-
tributed two steals and a turnover
during the frst half.
Sutherland played for the frst
seven minutes of the second half
and gained an additional four re-
bounds to bring her game total to
13. She also picked up a block to
bring her game total to two. Like
Davis, Sutherland managed to
score during her second half ap-
pearance to bring her to 13 total
points. It was her frst double-dou-
ble this season and the seventh in
her career.
Sutherland has been a natu-
ral defender her entire life and it
was evident in her play. However,
because of her natural ability she
has not been playing to the exact
level that she and her coaches are
looking for. Tis could be due to
the level of opponents that the Jay-
hawks have been facing.
My coach told me, You need
to be working on your defense.
You cant just play afer the fact by
blocking shots, because that is what
I usually do, Sutherland said.
Coach Bonnie Henrickson said
she thought her teams perfor-
mance was lackluster and lacka-
daisical.
Were not as experienced on the
perimeter and that is what is just
so darn obvious. We played really
inexperienced and undisciplined
today, she said.
In the end, the Jayhawks strong
post defensive play kept the Is-
landers below 50 points to ensure
a 41-point victory.

Auburn may sport a championship-caliber defense
cOLLEgE fOOTbALL
Mcclatchy-tribune
AUBURN, Ala. Georgia wide
receiver A.J. Green coasted past
Auburn defenders throughout the
first half Saturday, twice catching
easy touchdown passes after having
left a cornerback at least five yards
in his wake.
Its been a common sight this year
and has prompted the same ques-
tion, in various forms, from every-
one who has watched the Tigers: is
this an SEC and NCAA champion-
ship-caliber defense?
While the Cam Newton probe
hangs over the program like a
sword of Damocles, many think
something else could derail the No.
2 Tigers chances of making it to
Glendale, Ariz., for the national title
game: a defense that is ranked No.
58 nationally.
Offenses are very explosive these
days, Auburn coach Gene Chizik
said. All of us would love to have
better numbers here in terms of
what the final result is on paper.
Were like anybody. Were a work in
progress all the time. Were trying
to get better.
Its a difficult task in the SEC,
which, thanks to an influx of inno-
vative minds the last few years
Auburns Gus Malzahn, Mississippi
States Dan Mullen and Arkansas
Bobby Petrino, to name a few
is in the midst of an offensive
Renaissance.
Seven of the leagues teams are
averaging 30 points or better this
season and 11 are scoring 25 points
or more. Its something that hasnt
happened in the last decade, despite
the proliferation of spread offenses
that have altered the game.
Footballs changing, Auburn
defensive coordinator Ted Roof
said. If you look at the SEC, for
instance, how much its changed
since three or four years ago to now
with all the spread offenses and the
high-tempo things and things of
that nature.
But thats the transition of col-
lege football.
Roof, a coaching veteran of 24
years, said its cyclical, recalling
when the wishbone was all the rage
in the 80s before defenses caught
up.
But spread offenses have increased
scoring across the board lately. Does
it mean teams are redefining defen-
sive success?
You define it by what you see
when you turn on the tape and if
youre getting what youre coach-
ing, Roof said. Thats how. And
obviously this being a bottom-line
business, are you winning? But cer-
tainly weve got to keep working to
get better because weve got some
work to do.
Auburns defense has been
skewered for allowing 24.9 points
per game, which ranks eighth in
the SEC. The Tigers have given up
34, 43, 31 and 31 points in separate
conference games this year.
Since 2000, only one SEC cham-
pion has allowed more than 20
points per game
(LSU in 2001,
22.3 ppg). No
NCAA champi-
on has allowed
more than 20
points a game in
that time.
But with
Auburns potent
offense, does it
matter?
The Tigers are
averaging 42.8
points per game
this year, which, if it holds, will be
tied for seventh in SEC history. The
only team in the last decade from
the SEC with a higher average is
Florida in 2008 (43.6 ppg).
Only three NCAA champions in
the last 10 years have averaged more
points per game: Florida in 2008,
Texas in 2004 (50.1 ppg) and Miami
in 2001 (43.2).
That gives
A u b u r n s
defense a larg-
er margin of
error. Against
Arkansas, for
instance, the
Tigers allowed
566 yards and
43 points, but
it forced three
crucial turn-
overs in the
fourth quarter
that led to three
touchdowns in a 65-43 victory.
For the time being, Chizik is look-
ing at incremental improvement.
Youd always like to be able to
look and say: Hey, I wish we had
played a little bit better here and
a little bit better there, he said.
But when youre not playing well,
the worst thing you can do is look
back and say: We never got better
in the game. We never adjusted in
the game.
Despite Greens big day Saturday,
Auburn eventually adjusted against
Georgia, upping its defensive pres-
sure in the second half and allow-
ing only 10 points after the first
quarter.
In a 49-31 game, it was more than
enough.
Surely on the paper, wed look at
the stats that some people want to
look at closely and wish we were in
a better place, Chizik said. Theres
also some stats where we think weve
done some things well, too. Theres
some give and take in there.
Surely on the paper,
wed look at the stats that
some people want to look
at closely and wish we
were in a better place.

Suns with a 123-96 victory
Thunder strike down Rockets

MIAMI All Chris Bosh needed
to get his scoring touch back was a
matchup with the Phoenix Suns.
Bosh scored a season-high 35
points before sitting out the fourth
quarter, LeBron James finished
with 20 points and the Miami Heat
ran away from the Suns 123-96 on
Wednesday.
Dwyane Wade added 17 points,
six rebounds and six assists for
Miami, which used two big runs
a 24-9 spurt to end the first half, fol-
lowed by an 18-3 flurry that closed
the third quarter to snap the
Suns three-game winning streak.
James also had nine assists and eight
boards.
All five Phoenix starters scored in
double figures, led by Steve Nashs
17. Nash only had two assists,
matching his lowest total since Dec.
29, 2008, against Oklahoma City, a
span of 141 games.
Grant Hill scored 15 and
Channing Frye added 14 for the
Suns. Eddie House scored 15 for
Miami, which outrebounded the
Suns 42-32.
Bosh hit his
first four shots
and had 14
points by the
time the game
was nine min-
utes old. He has
topped 30 points
in three of his
last six meetings with Phoenix.
By the time Bosh went to the
bench for the evening, snapping
that streak was certain.
Miami wasted a 22-point home
lead at home against Utah last week,
and for a moment in the third quar-
ter, the Heat seemed on the brink of
blowing another huge edge. Nashs
finger-roll with 3:14 left in the third
cut what had been a 25-point Miami
edge minutes earlier to 82-70.
Bosh scored the games next seven
points, kickstarting a run that put
things away for
Miami. House,
a reserve, hit a
3-pointer with
35 seconds
left to get the
lead back to
24, and Wade
had a spectacu-
lar three-point play defensive
rebound at one end, drive down-
court, finger-roll layup while getting
fouled and then highstepping past
photographers to make it 100-73
entering the fourth.

OKLAHOMA CITY Kevin
Durant scored 24 points in only
three quarters, Russell Westbrook
had 21 points and 12 assists and
the Oklahoma City Thunder beat
the Houston Rockets 116-99 on
Wednesday night for their most
lopsided win this season.
Durant came in playing ele-
vated minutes due to Jeff Greens
absence from the lineup with a
sprained left ankle and a series
of close games for the Thunder.
He was second in the league with
41 minutes per game, but played
just under 30 with Oklahoma City
comfortably ahead.
Luis Scola had 26 points and
Kevin Martin scored 19 for
Houston, but both of them also
stayed on the sideline in the final
period with the Rockets way
behind and in the second leg of a
back-to-back.
Aaron Brooks missed his sixth
straight game and Yao Ming his
fifth straight for Houston, while
Oklahoma Citys Green sat out
for the fifth time in six games. All
three have sprained left ankles.
Oklahoma City never trailed
after responding to Scolas open-
ing basket with a 10-0 run, then
put the game away late in the
third quarter.
The Rockets pulled to 75-69 on
Martins layup midway through
the third, but Houston went more
than 4 minutes without another
basket to fall behind by 15. Eric
Maynors 3-pointer from the right
wing made it 89-74 with 1:31 left
in the period.
Maynor buried another
3-pointer in early in the fourth
quarter to make it 99-82, and
Oklahoma City would eventually
lead by 20.
Oklahoma City committed
a season-low nine turnovers
including one for purposely
letting the shot clock run out
in the final seconds and eas-
ily snapped Houstons streak of
five games without allowing an
opponent to score more than 100
points.
Scola scored 16 of Houstons
first 27 points, including six dur-
ing an 8-0 run that allowed the
Rockets erase a nine-point deficit.
Courtney Lees 3-pointer tied it at
30 early in the second quarter, but
Oklahoma City scored 13 of the
next 15 points to take control.
James Harden hit two free
throws and a 3-pointer, then
Durant finished it off with a float-
er in the lane that banked in after
the whistle sounded on Chuck
Hayes foul. Durant made the
ensuing free throw to complete
the three-point play and make it
43-32.
That 11-point margin was still
intact when Westbrook was fouled
with less than a second left in the
first half and hit three free throws
to make it 64-53 at halftime.
All fve Phoenix starters
scored in double fgures,
led by Steve Nashs 17.

would go away, he said.
Despite recording more digs
and more blocks than the Bears
and winning the first set
things got worse for the Jayhawks
offense each time the team took
the court. Senior outside hitters
Karina Garlington and Jenna
Kaiser led the Kansas offense
with 12 kills each, but it was not
enough to overcome the Baylor
defense.
Kaiser said she wasnt sure what
caused so many offensive plays to
go wrong.
I have no idea what actually
happened between the pass and
the hit, Kaiser said. Sometimes
things arent right; your feet arent
there. Its just very frustrating this
time of year.
The most difficult part about
the match, Garlington said, was
not bouncing back after the Bears
started to gain the upper hand.
Its frustrating to see us do
after all of our hard work, she
said. To see a team push us and
us not respond.
Kansas drops to seventh in con-
ference play with the loss. Baylor
improves to 15-13 and 8-9 in the
Big 12.
Kansas (16-12, 7-10 Big 12)
took a lead early in the first set,
with Kaiser scoring three kills
and junior outside hitter Allison
Mayfield contributing a kill and
an ace. But Baylor (16-12, 7-10,
Big 12) reacted quickly and kept
the game close. The Bears took a
three-point lead midway through
the set behind some Kansas errors
and kills by Baylor senior mid-
dle blocker Elizabeth Graham
and senior outside hitter Ashlie
Christenson. Mayfield took three
shots in succession, with the help
of several teammates who kept
the volley going until the out-
side hitter registered a kill. Baylor
held a slim lead for much of the
set with several players produc-
ing kills and by benefitting from
Kansas errors. Surprisingly, Baylor
did not overwhelm Kansas with
digs: the Jayhawks scored six more
digs in the first set. Kansas con-
tinued to see plays go badly at the
net as the set went into the final
stretch at 19-20. Kills by Kaiser
and Mayfield helped the Jayhawks
regain the lead, and a block by
Mayfield and redshirt freshman
middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc
ended the set 25-23.
The Bears opened the second
set with four unanswered points
before Mayfield scored a kill for the
Jayhawks. Baylor responded with
a block and proceeded to establish
a four-point lead. Neither team
had many outright offensive suc-
cesses, but the Jayhawks caught up
and took the lead behind kills by
Mayfield and Kaiser. The Jayhawks
extended their lead to three points
at 11-8 after Garlington com-
bined with Jarmoc for a block and
then scored a kill. Garlington and
Jarmoc continued to have success,
recording another kill and another
block, respectively, while fresh-
man libero Brianne Riley worked
hard to keep the ball away from
the floor.
The Jayhawks seemed at times
to fall into mild disorder, requir-
ing defensive specialists to scram-
ble to save points. Both teams saw
their offensive efforts blunted by
errors and tough defense in the
second set, but the Jayhawks hit-
ting efficiency dropped to .043
while the Bears slowly gained
ground. Kansas battled back
in the final stretch of the game
and narrowed Baylors lead to
three points behind big plays by
Garlington, Kaiser and Tolefree,
but Baylor closed out the set by
scoring a quick kill and winning
another much-contested volley,
taking the set 25-20.
Kansas bounced back in the
third set, taking a five-point lead
at 18-13 from a hitting streak
by Mayfield and Garlington, who
scored four and five kills, respec-
tively. But a series of unforced
errors cost Kansas the lead and
Baylor won the set 25-23.
The fourth set took a disas-
trous turn for the Jayhawks as
they struggled with errors while
the Bears offense swung into
high gear. Baylor outside hitters
Christenson, junior Allison King
and redshirt freshman Zoe Adom
scored nine kills among them
while middle blockers Graham,
sophomore Torri Campbell and
junior Briana Tolbert recorded six.
While Baylors defense continued
to pull off improbable saves, the
Jayhawks began to have trouble
moving the ball around without
some mishap occurring to cost
them another point. After a 5-5
tie, Baylor scored six unanswered
points before Kaiser put Kansas
back on the board with a kill.
Baylor quickly wrapped up the
match 25-12. The Bears hit for
a .500 efficiency as a team while
Kansas dropped to negative num-
bers in the fourth and final set.
Its unfortunate, Bechard said.
It seemed like the hitting errors
got a little contagious, and the
thing that hurt us the most is they
came in runs, in bunches, he said.
It kept us from winning a critical
game three, and I think, obviously,
that momentum carried over into
game four.
The Jayhawks travel to Austin,
Texas for a rematch with the
Longhorns Friday. In their last
meeting Oct.20, Texas swept
Kansas in Lawrence.
