THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Walking across the stage, come-
dian Donald Glover stopped, re-
moved his jacket and looked at the
audience in the Lied Center Satur-
day night.
How many of you guys know me
from my show Community? Glov-
er asked the crowd, referring to the
NBC show he currently stars on. His
question was met with cheers.
Ok cool, he said. Just so you
guys know this is going to be noth-
ing like that. Tis is going to be a lot
dirtier.
Te hour and a half show was
flled with his ideas on racism, chil-
dren, rap music and his experiences
with comedic greats like Jon Stew-
art, Tina Fey and Chevy Chase.
For some people in the audience,
the show was the frst time seeing
Glover.
I dont really know him very
well, but Ive heard hes funny from
friends, said Jesse King, a sopho-
more from Shawnee, before the
show. I love stand-up comedy
shows, and its a cheap, fun thing to
do on a Saturday night.
Afer the show, King said she was
pleasantly surprised and thought
Glover was awesome.
Danny Woods, a senior from
Overland Park, was already a fan
of Glovers from Community, but
lef even more impressed by the
comedian.
Hes a comedic genius, Woods
said. Hes going to be one of the
biggest comedians coming out right
now.
Afer leaving the stage, Glover re-
turned for an encore, which turned
into a question-and-answer session.
Audience members asked about his
favorite drink and rap ambitions
and wished him a happy birthday.
Whos better, Tina Fey or Jon
Stewart? yelled one man from the
Power outages on Daisy Hill lef
students without electricity for sev-
eral hours Friday morning, creating
problems for many students who
live in the afected residence halls.
Electricity was out from 8:45
a.m. until 11:15 a.m., according to
a spokesperson from Westar En-
ergy. Cable and Internet services
were restored to the residence halls
at 4 p.m.
Te timing of the outage inter-
rupted many students morning
routines.
I got out of the shower and
it started fickering, which made
shaving very difcult, said Allison
Williams, a freshman from Shaw-
nee, who lives in Lewis residence
hall. I tried to blow dry my hair,
but it didnt work because it had all
gone out.
Tony Mason, a freshman from
Minneapolis, was anxious about
missing class because his alarm
never went of.
I had my alarm set at nine but it
didnt go of, Mason said. I woke
up and my microwave timer said all
zeros and my alarm was blank. But
I checked my phone and I still had
time to get to class.
Ellsworth, McCollum, Hash-
inger, Lewis and Templin Halls were
all afected by the outage. Some stu-
dents did not experience a full loss
of power.
My lights would work, and I had
one power strip that worked, but
everybody else on the foor didnt
have power, Mason said.
Katelyn Cook, a junior from Kan-
sas City, Mo., and a resident assis-
tant in Ellsworth hall, was working
at the front desk when she started
seeing the frst signs of the outage.
Tere was a fickering at frst,
Cook said. Ten our alarm system
went of twice. I noticed my Inter-
net wasnt working on WiFi.
Te RAs were not given infor-
mation about what was causing the
outage or when power would be
restored, which caused a frustrat-
ing number of questions from resi-
dents, Cook said.
More irritating than the outage
to some students was the lacklus-
ter food because of the outage at
Mrs. Es.
Mrs. Es had a limited lunch
menu, Cook said. Tere was noth-
ing grilled and nothing that was
cooked.

Unlike past years, the Marching
Jayhawks will perform a new half-
time show for every home game
this season.
Te 240-person group works
hard throughout the football sea-
son, practicing three times a week
for two hours on music and march-
ing for the pregame and halfime
shows.
Band rehearsals are a per-
formance driven endeavor, said
Matthew Smith, director of ath-
letic bands and interim associate
director of bands. We normally
rehearse music as a large group for
the next halfime show and then
clean up and run through the pre-
game show.
Smith is in his frst year as di-
rector of athletic bands and is re-
sponsible for the marching band
performing a new halfime show
for every game. Te key is to create
a fun atmosphere, he said.
A lot goes on behind the scenes,
but the most important time is
when were with the students,
Smith said. I try to keep the stu-
dents in the forefront.
Te Marching Jayhawks perform
at all six home games and travel to
the games at Iowa State and Ar-
rowhead Stadium against Missouri.
Smaller ensembles of marching
band members play at various per-
formances around campus as re-
quested by the University.
Smith relies a great deal on his
support staf, which includes fve
graduate assistants and three drum
majors, upper level members who
teach fundamentals and conduct
and pick music to play during the
game. Tey also serve as liaison
between the students and the
director.
Tis year, Matt Hedrick, a senior
from Carrollton, Mo., Emily Glaser,
a senior from West Des Moines,
Iowa, and Josh Maddux, a junior
from Overland Park, serve as drum
majors for the band.
Te greatest challenge is staying
focused and motivated in spite of
weather, fatigue or personal issues,
such as academic stress around
midterms, Hedrick said. Te best
way to deal with it is to show up
for practice with a positive attitude
and fnd a balance to all the time
commitments.
On a typical game day, when
kickof is at 11 a.m., band members
begin rehearsing at 6:30 a.m. For
the homecoming game, the band
will march in the parade at 8 a.m.
and will not be fnished for the day
until 3 p.m.
All three drum majors are ma-
joring in music education and will
likely be directing marching shows
themselves in the near future.
Its a fun way to experience
the feld, Glaser said. Trough
all the madness in preparing for a
game, it all works because of our
leadership team, graduate assistants
and director.
Te drum majors also point to
the bands collective determination
to succeed, as well as the groups
dynamics. Having been around for
124 years since 1887 the band
plays a part of the Universitys rich
tradition.
Te marching band is a visual
representation of pride and spirit
for the University, Glaser said.
Jon Heaver, a sophomore from
Sterling Heights, Mich., is playing
sousaphone in the band for the
second year. Heaver said he enjoys
marching as a way to get away from
his studies and clear his head afer a
long day of classes.
In addition to practicing for his
classes as a music education major,
Heaver memorizes the music for the

Power outage play-by-play
According to KU Information Technology, a power
outage at the Ellsworth Wiring Center shut down
Internet and other services across some areas of
campus. Daisy Hill was without power for part of
the morning.
DNS services, My Identity sites, cable TV, KU Any-
where, Kyou Portal services and the public labs were
affected by the outage.
Workers with Westar Energy worked to resolve the
issue.
In an email, IT services said, In the process of
this troubleshooting, [Westar workers] will be acti-
vating and dropping power feeds frequently. This
may cause service availability to fuctuate.

SALt LAKE CItY
A North Carolina man crawled four days across
the Utah desert after breaking his leg on a solo hike,
inspired by a Hollywood movie about a man who cut off
his own arm to save himself after being trapped by a
boulder in the same canyon.
Amos Wayne Richards, 64, of Concord, N.C., is
now recovering at home. He said he was inspired to
hike Little Blue John Canyon after he saw the Oscar-
nominated movie 127 Hours but fell 10 feet during
his trek on Sept. 8.
Canyonlands National Park rangers found Richards
four days later. Along with the leg injury, he dislocated
his shoulder but was able to work it back into place.
It took me about 3 or 4 minutes to work my shoulder
and get it back in place, and once I got it back in place,
I stood up and realized my ankle hurt a little bit,
Richards told WBTV in Charlotte last week after his
story started getting the attention of national TV news
networks.
NEW YoRK
Declaring that they were detained because of their
nationality, not their actions, two Americans held for
more than two years in an Iranian prison came home
Sunday, ending a diplomatic and personal ordeal with a
sharp rebuke of the country that had imprisoned them
after they hiked over the border from Iraq.
Joshua Fattal and Shane Bauer, both 29, were freed
last week under a $1 million bail deal and arrived
Wednesday in Oman, greeted by relatives and fellow
hiker Sarah Shourd, who was released last year.
Their saga began in July 2009 with what they called a
wrong turn into the wrong country. The three were hiking
together in Iraqs relatively peaceful Kurdish region
along the Iran-Iraq border when Iranian guards detained
them. They always maintained their innocence, saying
they might have accidentally wandered into Iran.
The two men were convicted of spying last month.
Shourd, whom Bauer proposed marriage to while they
were imprisoned, was charged but freed before any
trial.
RIYADh, SAUDI ARAbIA
Saudi Arabias King Abdullah, considered a reformer by the standards of
his own ultraconservative kingdom, decreed on Sunday that women will for
the frst time have the right to vote and run in local elections due in 2015.
It is a Saudi Spring of sorts.
For the nations women, it is a giant leap forward, though they remain un-
able to serve as Cabinet ministers, drive or travel abroad without permission
from a male guardian.
Saudi women bear the brunt of their nations deeply conservative values,
often fnding themselves the target of the unwanted attention of the king-
doms intrusive religious police.

Te three dilapidated buildings
on the corner of 8th and Pennsyl-
vania streets seem like the last
place students would want to be,
but soon those buildings will be
transformed into a hot spot for
students and artists, at least thats
what Tony Krsnich, a developer
of Landmark Investment Group,
hopes.
Hes an innovator, said Bar-
bara Kerr, distinguished profes-
sor of psychology and research
in education. Krsnich envisions
two of the buildings to contain
apartments, including nearly 50
afordable rental apartments.
Because the buildings are con-
sidered historic, they will not be
replaced, but renovated to ft the
new use. Te project is expected
to be completed in the summer
of 2012 with renovations already
underway, but Krsnich hopes to
get students involved before the
project is complete.
Krsnich walked through the
buildings explaining his vision
for each space with noticeable
excitement.
He described an open event
space for the third building that
could be used for local artists to
display their work while having
smaller studio spaces for artists
to work. Outside Krsnich points
out a small space where people
have lef artwork displayed.
Tis project impacts so many
areas of education: art, history,
business, architecture, psychol-
ogy, Krsnich said.
Tough psychology seems like
an unlikely study to be efected
by a renovation project, Kerr
thinks her students can beneft
from learning about the needs
involved in making projects like
these possible.
Beginning with surveys of
artists and inventors on Final Fri-
days, students in psychology and
research in education have been
working to understand the needs
of innovators. Space, fnancial
support and support for career
development were the top three
needs, Kerr said. Tis commu-
nity space goes a long way toward
helping with all three needs.
Krsnich found the educational
aspect of the project to be an in-
centive and has heard positive
feedback from professors.
Tis will be a hotbed of inno-
vation, and I want KU students to
be a part of it, Kerr said. From
the cutting-edge solar power
to the direct garden to grocery
space to designing spaces to max-
imize creativity this will be an
opportunity for students to learn
while doing.
KU graduates make up the
team working on the project from
its fnances to the contracting.
Tey welcome the idea of having
current students involved and
learning through this project.
Krsnich learned about this
project from a friend, Mike
Hodges, a lawyer who has an in-
terest in investing in renovation
projects. He brought Krsnich
on as a partner because of his
expertise in renovating historic
properties.
Tis is the most exciting de-
velopment project to come to
Lawrence in a long time, Hodg-
es said.
City commissioners agreed to
help with the project by repav-
ing the streets around the area
and putting in a parking lot to
accommodate the apartment
buildings.
Te citys been really great
about redeveloping that area,
Hodges said.
With the project located in
Lawrence, where many of the
people involved have ties to the
University, Krsnich and his team
want to emphasize the opportu-
nity for students to gain hands-
on experience to look at a current
project rather than studying one
thats already been completed.
What Id like to have happen
is have professors, like Barb, call-
ing me from every school at the
University, Krsnich said.

shows, which helps with the actual
marching aspect of performance.
I take time aside from rehearsal
to practice and memorize the music,
so I can take time during rehearsal
to focus on marching, Heaver said.
On game day we get out on the
feld and see the fans appreciating
our music; thats when its all
worthwhile.
Being part of the marching band
allows members to try out for the
mens basketball pep band. Kyle
Stringer, a junior from Haven, plays
baritone during marching season
and was just recently selected to play
bass guitar for the pep band.
As a music therapy major, String-
er receives a scholarship, fulflls be-
ing a part of a major ensemble re-
quirement and gains experience in
his degree program.
Stringer points to the tradition
and support of the football team as
to why he marches. Coach Turner
Gill has even talked to the band and
expressed his appreciation.
Its fun because you get to be part
of a great, longstanding tradition,
Stringer said. I enjoy being able to
be part of something bigger than
just myself.
Smith, director of athletic bands,
enjoys the interaction with the stu-
dents and how well they are com-
mitted to the band.
Tese students love KU and
work tremendously hard to enter-
tain our fans and represent KU at
a high level, he said. Teyre here
because they love it.

crowd.
Glover responded with, Tina
Fey, I really look up to her. Shes a
really big mentor in my life. Shes
the sweetest, smartest person Ive
ever met. But Jon Stewart made me
wafes once, so Im indebted to him
for life.
Seeing the comedian interact
with students was the shows high
point for Maureen Primdahl, a se-
nior from Chicago.
I really appreciate the Q&A,
Primdahl said. It was really some-
thing for the students.
When Glover was asked if he
would wear a KU shirt on Com-
munity, he agreed to send a picture
and ask the shows costume designer
if somebody gave him a shirt before
he lef Lawrence. A student ran
down the aisle of the auditorium,
took the shirt of his back and tossed
it on stage.
And with that, Glover smiled and
lef the stage, taking a piece of KU
with him.

nudity protest takes to
streets of san Francisco
SAN FrANCISCO hanging out
on a street corner has taken on new
meaning in San Francisco.
Several dozen men and at least
one woman took part in a naked
protest Saturday in an area of the
Castro District neighborhood that
has become known for its nude
visitors. Several carried signs that
read, Nudity is Not a Crime and
Get Your hate Off My Body, as
they milled around, undeterred by
the brisk weather and light mist.
San Francisco generally allows
public nudity, but a city supervi-
sor has proposed regulating
the practice. Supervisor Scott
Wieners proposal would require
the clothing-averse to cover up in
restaurants. It would also require
nudists to put a cloth or other bar-
rier under their bottoms if they take
a seat in public.
Mitch hightower, the organizer
of the so-called nude-in, said
it was not intended as a protest
against the proposal. The goal,
hightower said, was to promote
acceptance of the human body
no matter what shape or form it
comes in.
The people out here believe
there is nothing indecent or of-
fensive about the human body,
he said.
The event, which had been
scheduled before Wieners proposal
was announced, was part of the
unoffcial celebrations leading up
to the annual Folsom Street Fair,
billed as the worlds largest leather
and fetish event.
Florida couple return
home to skunk takeover
PALM BAY, Fla. A Florida couple
returned from a monthlong vaca-
tion to fnd they had some new
and stinky roommates.
Stephanie and Bill Palieri told
the Florida Today newspaper that
about 10 skunks squeezed into
their home through a window that
was left open. The couple had been
visiting relatives to celebrate their
58th wedding anniversary.
The skunks tunneled through
walls, gnawing on kitchen cabinets
and oven wires inside their Palm
Bay home.
Stephanie Palieri says fve
skunks walked through the kitchen
recently while she was enjoying her
coffee.
The Palieris live on Social Secu-
rity and dont have the money to
hire a trapper, so business owners
have been helping them with the
skunk problem. One trapper helped
catch a skunk without charging his
usual fee.
non-violent offenders
choose church or jail
BAY MINETTE, Ala. Authori-
ties say non-violent offenders in
southern Alabama will have a new
choice: Go to jail or go to church
every Sunday for a year.
WkrG-TV reports that Operation
restore Our Community begins next
week.
If offenders select church, theyll

On Monday, The Chew
arrives, and the welcome could
be chilly. The food-themed talk
show puts on a happy face about
its prospects, but soap fans threat-
en to shun any replacement for
AMC and, in January, the also-
canceled One Life to Live. (A
plan to move both shows online is
still in the preliminary phase.)
We hope that they will enjoy
our show, Gordon Elliott, execu-
tive producer of The Chew,
said when asked about All My
Children fans disappointment.
We were asked to come and
join the daytime lineup because
daytime tastes have changed.
Look, I understand com-
pletely how those viewers feel.
I enjoyed those soaps for years,
too. But I dont control the pro-
cess that made that change. ...
I can just control what goes on
our television show.
The Chew will be a party
every day, suggests Elliott and
his cast, who include co-hosts
Clinton Kelly, Carla Hall,
Daphne Oz, and chefs Mario
Batali and Michael Symon.
I think a lot of people tune
in to soaps because they feel as
though the cast are their friends,
Kelly said. What we can (do is)
welcome viewers to hang out in
the kitchen with us. We cant be
soap operas to you, but we can be
a group of people that you might
want to hang out with.
Kelly is best known as a fashion
stylist on TLCs What Not to
Wear, but before that he was a
journalist who wrote about topics
including food. Hes also a pas-
sionate home cook who loves to
throw dinner parties, he said.
In addition to Batali and Symon,
who are Iron Chefs on the
Food Network, The Chew also
recruited fan-favorite Hall from
Bravos Top Chef. Describing
herself as a recovering caterer,
Hall promises that The Chew
will feature plenty of cooking,
pulling somebody from the audi-
ence to actually cook with us.
She hopes much of the cook-
ing will speak to busy people like
herself.

Anyone who hasnt been living
under a rock since the Reagan
administration knows that
America is in a hefty amount of
debt. For the Patrick Stars among
us, you can view a live stream of
the debt increase at usdebtclock.
com, but prepare to be depressed
as you watch the federal deficit
approach $15 trillion. The web-
site also shows figures such as
tax revenue and gross domestic
product. One of the most inter-
esting, however, is the debt per
taxpayer, which happens to be
around $131,000 considerably
more than most people make in
a year.
Many people are already aware
of thoughts and attitudes sur-
rounding the national debt. I
hope everyone reading this can
agree that something needs to be
done to resolve the issue. Ideas
presented include increasing
revenue through tax hikes for the
general population and decreas-
ing expenditures through reduc-
ing social security and other
social welfare programs.
Its easy to see, however, that
the pendulum has to swing both
ways. Neither tax increases nor
expenditure cuts will solve the
problem on its own. To ensure
that future generations (includ-
ing our own) are not plagued
by a dark cloud of debt looming
over their heads, some things
need to change. At the current
rate, we wont just have student
loans to pay back, but the debts
of our country as well. Is this
hitting closer to home college
students?
Now, before we get too critical
of our country, its important
to note that we are not alone in
debt. Many countries around the
world have been experiencing
financial deficits in recent
years. Greece has seen rioting
and protest in response to its
unpaid debts, and economically
burdened Great Britain has seen
civil unrest in recent months.
America hasnt seen rioting
yet, but that doesnt mean that
people arent speaking out in
response to the national deficit.
Warren Buffett, one of Americas
wealthiest citizens, announced
that wealthy individuals have
been coddled long enough by a
billionaire-friendly Congress.
This statement seems to have
been foreshadowing, as rich
individuals from other countries
have since been stepping
forward to contribute to their
governments to ease financial
strain. In an article recently
published in the Guardian,
Helen Pidd reveals that French
and Italian millionaires and
billionaires have already made
excessive contributions to their
respective governments, and that
a group of extremely wealthy
Germans has volunteered for
a five percent wealth tax to
contribute more of their money
to public debt.
Whether Warren Buffett
intended to, he seems to have
accelerated a movement of gen-
erous aristocrats around the
world. The issue is that million-
aires and billionaires in America
seem to have a different sense
of allegiance. They have more
money than they need by a long
shot, but still spend on lobbyists
and tax lawyers to avoid higher
taxes on their fortunes.
As one small step in the solu-
tion to Americas debt problem, a
wealth tax could raise billions of
dollars in revenue for the federal
government. Blanket tax hikes
can be devastating for those liv-
ing paycheck to paycheck, but a
wealth tax could help ease strain
on the government and its citi-
zens. It is true that the majority
of wealthy people have earned
their fortunes and deserve to
enjoy their financial success.
However, as Uncle Ben famously
told a young and frightened
Spiderman: With great power
comes great responsibility.

anti-hazing initiatives require deeper efforts
National Hazing Prevention
Week has an increased mean-
ing at University of Kansas. Last
week, the University hosted
events to promote anti-hazing.
By bringing in notable anti-
hazing speaker Don McPherson
and organizing a weeks worth
of activities, the University has
shown a commitment to combat
hazing on campus.
Within the past two years, two
major incidents involving alco-
hol abuse and hazing have cast
a dark shadow over the student
body.
Freshman Matt Fritzie was par-
alyzed after jumping into a tem-
porary pool during Phi Gamma
Deltas FIJI Island party last
year. After the University and
the national Phi Gamma Delta
organization conducted investi-
gations, the fraternity was sus-
pended. Fritzies lawsuit against
the fraternity included allega-
tions that the fraternity didnt
protect pledges, including Fritzie,
from hazing.
Jason Wren, a 2009 fresh-
man who lived at Sigma Alpha
Epsilon, was found dead in the
fraternitys house two years ago.
According to Kansan reports,
he drank margaritas, beer, wine
and whiskey that night, lead-
ing to a blood alcohol level of
.362. In both cases, the Greek
organizations tolerated a culture
of alcohol abuse and underage
drinking.
But are these incidents real-
ly hazing? According to the
Universitys policy, Hazing
includes, but is not limited to,
any action, activity or situation
which recklessly, negligently
or intentionally endangers the
mental or physical health, wel-
fare or safety of a person, cre-
ates excessive fatigue, mental or
physical discomfort, exposes a
person to extreme embarrass-
ment or ridicule, involves per-
sonal servitude or substantially
interferes with the academic
requirements or responsibilities
of a student. The Interfraternity
Council, National Association of
Latino Fraternal Organizations,
National Pan-Hellenic Council
and the Panhellenic Association
filed similar policies.
Simply tolerating alcohol
abuse is hazing.
But it isnt something that a
policy can completely fix. All
fraternities, sororities and ath-
letic organizations need to start
pushing hazing traditions out of
existence.
Some of these organizations
got involved with anti-hazing
activities last week. Those that
encouraged members to sign the
Universitys pledge, including
Theta Chi, Sigma Delta Tau and
Zeta Beta Tau, showed commit-
ment to hazing awareness. More
fraternities and sororities should
make it a requirement to sign an
anti-hazing pledge. Sigma Alpha
Epsilon is continuing its Jason
Wren initiative to combat alco-
hol abuse.
But this isnt where it stops.
Hazing kills students. The orga-
nizations need to instill personal
responsibility when new mem-
bers are initiated. The duty falls
on each upperclassman to keep
this in mind when conducting
recruitment events.
Hazing is a serious problem,
and it requires a culture of zero
tolerance to fix.

The Kansan Editorial Board
Companies rarely die from
moving too fast, and they fre-
quently die from moving too
slowly.
Those words were from Reed
Hastings, CEO of Netflix, in a
blog post directed to subscrib-
ers of the movie distributing
company who were angry over
recent increases in pricing. He
then described a change to their
business model, which made
everyone mad at him all over
again: The tangible DVD-by-mail
service and the online streaming
service are now separate entities,
with separate prices. The stream-
ing portion is still to be named
Netflix, but the red envelopes
that come to your mailbox now
will come through Qwikster.
I assume because they want to
annoy me on the same level as
Qwest and Krispy Kreme.
A subscriber will have to
update queues and ratings on
two different websites individu-
ally, Netflix.com and Qwikster.
com, and will be sent two dif-
ferent bills. What was once two
services provided by one place
inexpensively and conveniently,
is now one company pretending
to be two and charging more for
both services. The main effect
of which, as far as I can tell, is
being annoying as all hell to the
consumer.
As mentioned in the
Washington Times, a letter sent
to shareholders earlier this week
said, With the rapid adoption of
streaming, DVD shipments for
Netflix have likely peaked. It is
clear Hastings believes streaming
is the future of our home enter-
tainment, which is likely true
but Netflix doesnt have divine
assurance that it is the business
to take us there. If it forces this
progression too fast and alienates
its audience, it might not make
it itself. While going full speed
ahead on one front, it seems to
be leaving tangible DVDs behind,
something that Id never like to
see.
I can stand to watch TV shows
in what Netflix pretends to be
HD, but Id never watch a Stanley
Kubrick or Darren Aronofsky
film on it. If I did, I wouldnt feel
like I had really seen the film. I
expect there are a number of
people who care about the picture
and sound quality in their home,
as HDTVs and expensive home
entertainment centers are becom-
ing more common. Until technol-
ogy improves to the point where
I can stream in something better
than YouTube quality I wont be
satisfied in this all-streaming
world.
The real problem might be
that some of us consider our-
selves fans of Netflix, not just
customers. That could be why
the backlash has been so great. I
know when I started my account
in 2007 I felt I was part of some-
thing cool, that I was contribut-
ing to a progressive start-up. It
was probably a dumb thought
then and is ludicrous now, as they
dominate their market with over
24 million subscribers, according
to the Los Angeles Times.
Because they started out com-
peting against the giant that was
Blockbuster, many people needed
these price jumps and this con-
sumer disregard to realize David
had become Goliath. It feels a
little like we were betrayed by a
team we rooted for, but Hastings
does acknowledge, It is possible
we are moving too fast. The
technology around them might
not be ready for this push, and
maybe neither are the people.

I am writing to respond to the
article GOP Works to Detriment
of Country, by Mr. Brinker.
Working together is what
America needs, not the one-
sided blame game Mr. Brinker
suggests in a polarizing fashion.
America has waited patiently the
past three years, and all we have
seen is a partisan Democratic
agenda forced through the leg-
islature and very little progress
made on the true issues our
nation faces.
Truthfully, the Democrats
have stonewalled most
Republican legislation.
Republicans proposed the
Healthcare Choice Act before
Obama told Congress to pass
Obamacare and read the bill
later. Not even our former
Kansas Governor Kathleen
Sebelius, now Secretary of
Health and Human Services,
read the bill, and the Healthcare
Choice Act was never even
given meaningful consideration
by Washington Democrats.
The Republicans proposed a
number of bills regarding the
budget and the national debt,
but still the debt has increased
to $14 trillion. Again, these
genuine proposals, many of
which contained significant
compromises, were tossed aside
without any consideration.
Now Obama wants to change
American tax structure to fund
yet another project, and he
calls this project the American
Jobs Act. Even though the GOP
has been urging tax reform and
new legislation to promote jobs
for some time now, and has a
wealth of research and knowl-
edge on the topic the current
administration is, once again,
going forward with a plan
which completely disregards the
insights of Republican legisla-
tors.
Some of the brightest minds
in the world are working in DC
to make our country better, and
it is unfortunate that so many of
our representatives are unwill-
ing to take advantage of the
knowledge and experience their
colleagues can provide.
Many jest that the Republican
Party is the party of no, but
Democrats have blatantly
pushed through legislation
without bi-partisan aid or
transparency.

Ron Kellogg, forward
This game isnt really one to forget for anyone, including
Kellogg. And in all fairness, he is 48 years old and had
to go up against Christian Moody, who is dubbed the
greatest walk-on of all time, on Saturday. But if we have
to be picky, Kellogg missed all four of his shot attempts
and was the only player other than Darnell Valentine (who
didnt attempt a shot) who didnt score. His signature lefty
three-point shot wasnt there, as he missed all three of his
shots from behind the arc. However, a few missed shots in an
exhibition cant take away from this legends legacy at Kansas.

Paul Pierce on Allen Fieldhouse
Paul Pierce, forward
Mario Chalmers, guard
These two have always been known for hitting big shots.
Saturdays fnish did nothing but affrm that belief. Pierce,
like most players on Saturday, started off the day slowly.
His frst shot was blocked by Darrell Shady Arthur and
he fnished with 16 points a lower number than most
expected for him. Just as he has done throughout his
career with the Boston Celtics, Pierce knocked down the
clutch shot. Chalmers had a few fancy plays against some
seasoned veterans who hadnt seen that kind of speed in
years. But like Pierce, it was his fnal shot that fans will
savor.

Plays of the Games
With less than 30 seconds to play and the game tied, Paul Pierce dribbled down the
court, taking his time with Brandon Rush guarding the ball. The crowd rose to its
feet while the NBA champ waited at the top of the key. He took another dribble then
slightly faded away, releasing a three-pointer to take the lead with Rushs hand in
his face and fve seconds remaining, sending the 16,300 fans in attendance into
euphoria.
it didnt end there. After a quick timeout, the crowd began chanting Mario! Mario!
as Chalmers received the in-bounds pass at halfcourt. it seemed as if he knew
exactly where he was going with the ball: top of the key but slightly to the right,
similar to his championship-tying three-pointer against Memphis in 2008. Of course
he made it this time as well. it was an all too familiar scene for Jayhawk fans.
Key stats
Number of points Mario Chalmers had in his frst game back
in the Fieldhouse. The Miami Heat guard showed fans why
hes considered one of the schools best perimeter defend-
ers, grabbing fve steals in 26 minutes. He also added 10
assists.
17
Number of rebounds Cole Aldrich had in his return. in a
game full of deep threes and missed alley-oops, Aldrich
was there to pick up the garbage, leading both teams in
rebounds. No other player was in double digits.
Number of points Ryan Robertson surprised the crowd with.
Robertson didnt exactly headline the legends of the Phog
advertisements, but the former high school all-American
had 75 percent shooting. it was the ffth-highest total for
both rosters.
19
15
Julian Wrights shooting percentage. Wright was a perfect
7-for-7 in his 18 minutes of action, mostly bringing the
crowd to its feet with some of the best dunks of the night.
100%
Number of players to fnish with double-doubles that is,
double digits in two different categories. Mario Chalmers (17
points,10 assists), Cole Aldrich (14 points, 19 rebounds) and
Nick Collison (14 points, 10 rebounds) all accomplished the
feat Saturday.

For a number of reasons, Satur-
days Legends of the Phog alumni
game was something Kansas fans
wont see very ofen. Stars of past gen-
erations like Darnell Valentine and
Ron Kellogg were joined by the likes
of Mario Chalmers and Paul Pierce,
with coaching legends Ted Owens
and Larry Brown leading the teams.
Te pre-game atmosphere was
that of a late February showdown
with Kansas State or Missouri,
and the roughly two-hour contest
ratcheted up the noise with high-
light dunks, video montages and
speeches fromformer players.
It was brought to a climax in the
waning seconds following the back-
to-back three-pointers by Pierce
and Chalmers to end the game in
a 111-111 tie.
PARt oF PRoCeeds to Be

FAMily nAMe
Neil Dougherty, anassistant coach
at Kansas for seven seasons under
Roy Williams, died in July while
jogging in Indianapolis. Members
of Doughertys family were honored
with a jersey at center court during
the game, and Kansas Athletics an-
nounced it will donate a portion of
Saturdays profts to charities of the
familys choice.
During the game, Pierce took
time to address the AllenFieldhouse
crowd on his feelings for Dougherty
andhis family. Obviously chokedup,
he called Dougherty a father fgure.
Deciding to attend school in Kansas
wasnt always an easy decision for
Pierce, a native of Inglewood, Cal.
It was tough leaving my mother,
Pierce said afer the game. But him
and coach Williams made me feel
comfortable leaving home and go-
ing 1000 miles to play basketball.
Pierce called Dougherty a play-
ers coach, and was emotional dur-
ingandafer the game whendiscuss-
ing his former coach. Dougherty lef
behind a wife and three children.
eFFeCt on ReCRuitinG
Saturdays festivities had a clear
efect on nearly everyone in atten-
dance. Bill Self and the coaching
staftook advantage of the star-stud-
ded event and invited a handful of
high recruits to sit behind the bench
with their families.
According to scout.com, that list
included three undecided players,
two in the class of 2012 and one in
the class of 2013. Andrew White, a
6-foot-6 senior guard at the Miller
School in Charlottesville, Va., has
ofers froma list of schools. Howev-
er Kansas was his frst ofcial visit.
He was joined by fellow2012 recruit
Ioannis Papapetrou, a 6-foot-7 for-
ward fromthe Florida Air Academy
in Melbourne, Fla. Tey were also
joined by the current No. 1 player
in the class of 2013, Julius Randle, a
6-foot-8 forward fromPlano, Texas.
In accordance with NCAA rules,
coaches arent allowed to talk about
any recruits specifcally, but Self said
he couldnt imagine they all didnt
have a great experience Saturday.
When you recruit really good
guys, the competition is stif, Self
said afer the game. We may not get
them, but I guarantee you well give
themsomething to think about.
Committed recruits Zach Peters,
a forward in the 2013 class, and Per-
ry Ellis, forward in the class of 2012,
were also in attendance.

The volley-
ball team was
swept for the
first time this
season on Sat-
urday against
the eighth-
ranked Long-
horns.
The Jay-
hawks will
have four days
to put the loss
behind them
before facing
another na-
tionally ranked conference op-
ponent.
The Jayhawks (11-2) lost in
three straight sets, 20-25, 21-25,
17-25.
We felt like we were pretty
well prepared, but we didnt take
care of some of the basic funda-
mentals at the net, coach Ray
Bechard said.
Despite being swept, the Jay-
hawks had strong individual
performances from senior out-
side hitter Allison Mayfield
and sophomore middle blocker
Caroline Jarmoc. Mayfield led
all players on the court with 14
kills while Jarmoc led all players
with four blocks.
While individual performanc-
es help, Mayfield said balancing
the workload is just as important
to the teams overall success.
If you have just one player,
its easy for the defense to step up
and stop that player, Mayfield
said. You have to be balanced
on attacking and setting different
players.
Junior middle blocker Tayler
Tolefree finished with three kills
and a .143 attack percentage.
Tolefree is familiar with stand-
out individual performances,
having been named the Big 12
Defensive Player of the Week
on Sept. 19. She said the perfor-
mances by Mayfield and Jarmoc
give the team hope that all is not
lost.
That gives us some confi-
dence that were not completely
breaking down, Tolefree said.
But they cant do it by them-
selves. Weve got to step up and
help them to create some op-
tions so they dont always have
the same pressure on them.
When a team continues to
lean on one player like the
Jayhawks did with Mayfield on
Saturday, Bechard said it can
create predictability.
Every team has their tenden-
cies, Bechard said. We under-
stand Allison will get her fair
share of swing attempts, but the
more we can diversify, the better
well be.
The team was haunted by
service errors in the three sets,
recording three in the first set
and eight total. Bechard said the
most discouraging part of the
errors were that they were into
the net and not out of bounds.
Its just a lack of concentration
in my opinion, Bechard said.
You have full control over that
skill, like shooting a free throw.
Its mind over matter in that
situation.
The Jayhawks return to action
at the Horejsi Family Athletics
Center at 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 28
against No. 16 Iowa State. The
contest will be the first home
game for the team in more than
three weeks.
Everyone comes out with a
little more fire at home, May-
field said. Its our house, and we
dont want someone to come in
and beat us on our home court.
Everyone plays with a little more
drive and motivation to get the
win at home.

Tere have been question
marks surrounding Kansas sec-
ondary all season. Against Texas
Tech, the Jayhawks will have an
opportunity to erase those ques-
tion marks.
Te Red Raiders bring in a
pass-happy ofense that peaked
two weeks ago when junior quar-
terback Seth Doege threw 44
passes and completed 40 of them
at New Mexico.
While New Mexico proved
to be a vastly inferior opponent
against the Red Raiders that day,
Doeges accomplishment is one
that will not be taken lightly.
Forty for 44 is very impres-
sive against anybody, freshman
safety Keeston Terry said.
Senior linebacker Steven
Johnson said he is confdent the
issues will be corrected in time
for the Texas Tech game this
Saturday.
I have no doubt that were
going to come out afer this bye
week against Texas Tech and get
a win at home, Johnson said af-
ter the Georgia Tech loss.

Moving on froM
gEorgia TEch
Te Kansas coaches havent
shown the Jayhawks the tape of
Kansas game against Georgia
Tech, when the Yellow Jackets
rushed for 600 yards.
We didnt watch the tape,
Terry said. We just threw it
out the window, knowing that
we werent going to play an-
other team with the triple op-
tion in our league.
But that doesnt mean
Kansas is forgetting what
happened.
Te Jayhawks came into At-
lanta confdent afer their 2-0
start. Tey were then pounded by
Georgia Tech.
Johnson said the 66-24 loss
was a wake-up call for a team
that might have been too happy
too early in the season.
We might have gotten a little
unfocused, Johnson said. Its a
humbling experience. You can
only move from it and move on.

firsT down woEs
In a run-heavy ofense, like the
one Kansas has used this season,
frst down becomes even more
of a priority than normal. When
you rely on the run, you try to get
yourself in short-yardage situa-
tions on third down.
Te Jayhawks had done a great
job of that in their frst fve halves
this season. Teir sixth half
the second half against Georgia
Tech was a diferent story.
In the third quarter Saturday,
the Jayhawks only gained more
than three yards once on frst
down. In that same time span,
Georgia Techs lead increased by
28 points.
In the frst half of that same
game, Kansas averaged more
than fve yards a play on frst
down. Te ofense had 17 points
at halfime, and the team was
only down seven.
A large chunk of Kansas strug-
gles on frst down came with the
Jayhawks using the Wildcat for-
mation which had been success-
ful in the frst two games. Of-
fensive coordinator Chuck Long
gave credit to the Yellow Jackets
for stopping it.
Teyre a good defensive foot-
ball team, Long said. We just
sputtered in the third quarter. It
was the only lapse weve had of-
fensively all year.

F
or weeks Kansas fans had to hear
about how one of college basketballs
blue bloods was not good enough for
entry into a power conference. For weeks
Kansas fans had to look at the future of their
beloved basketball program with the daunt-
ing task of trying to attract recruits without
being attached to a big-name conference.
The Legends of the Phog game on
Saturday night changed dread into joy, as
decades of former players reminded the
fans of the greatness and power of college
athletics. Even from where Im studying
abroad in France, I felt a desire to be with
my friends in Allen Fieldhouse watching the
legends I never saw play in person.
The exhibition summed up what makes
Jayhawk basketball incredible and almost
indescribable. The history was there. The
tradition was there. The greatness was there.
The competitiveness was there, and so was
the joy.
The game was not about a bunch of mil-
lionaire athletes playing a game, it was about
watching great athletes play the game they
love and enjoy themselves with the one con-
nection they all share: their alma mater. The
game was not about tooting our own horn,
it was about connecting Kansas storied past
with the present.
Of course there will be a lot of talk about
Mario Chalmers last second three again
to tie the game 111-111, as it was really
the most fitting way for the game to end. But
I think at the core of it, the event reminded
the fans, players, and coaches alike just how
incredible of a luxury it is to be a part of the
crimson and the blue.
When it comes down to it, the game dis-
played the biggest difference between the
pros and college ball. Egos were not at the
forefront; they played for the name on the
front of the blue and white jerseys. While
star college athletes are always welcome,
college sports are about cheering for your
university.
With the amount of success
garnered from the event, its pos-
sible that similar events could be
held even after the NBA lockout
is resolved. Its not only great
for the fans to see their favorite
players play on James Naismith
Court again, but judging from the
players reactions, they loved the
opportunity to play in front of the
people who made their college
years so special.
Saturday night put some minds
at ease about conference realign-
ment. Although Kansas athletics
may not be well-rounded enough
to earn a spot in a power confer-
ence, Kansas fans know there is no
place like the University in the country, and
the Legends of the Phog game reaffirmed
that.
No other school celebrates its history and
tradition while also living in the present.
After all, like blue team coach Larry Brown
famously said, Theres no better place to
coach. Theres no better place to go to school.
Theres no better place to play.
I hope thats not lost in conference
realignment.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
Afer enduring another blow-
out loss on Friday, the soccer
team wrapped up its non-con-
ference schedule against Oral
Roberts on Sunday with a mo-
rale-boosting 6-1 victory.
I think it gives us a lot of re-
demption, sophomore defender
Madi Hillis said. Te past cou-
ple games have been a little bit
frustrating, but we got a good
win and came out here and tried
to score a lot of goals.
Kansas six goals were the
most the team scored in a game
since Oct. 19, 2008, against
Francis Marion.
Putting together early ofen-
sive consistency for 90 minutes
was a crucial point for the Jay-
hawks.
With Kansas in control for the
whole contest, it gave many of
its substitute players the oppor-
tunity to log minutes and con-
tribute of the bench. Although
the Jayhawks scored three goals
in the frst 17 minutes, coach
Mark Francis was unhappy with
the benchs efort at the end of
the frst half.
When we scored the third
goal I thought we backed of a
little bit, Francis said. Basically
at halfime I told them if they
didnt score three goals we were
training tomorrow. So I think
that motivated them a little bit.

Junior midfelder Whitney
Berry continues to show her
leadership on the feld, posting
a goal and an assist.
Berrys goal in the 16th min-
ute was a well-judged, lef-foot-
ed strike that glided by the right
side of ORUs goalkeeper Helen
Erb.
Berry realized that this game
was important to continue exe-
cuting ofensively, but also to try
to help the overall attitude.
It gives us that little boost
that we needed to get back on
somewhat of a winning streak
and hopefully get those two big
losses behind us, Berry said.
Freshman forward Ingrid
Vidal also scored two goals in
the game. Vidal is approaching
the top-scorer mark in the con-
ference with eight goals to her
credit.
Te other notable goal came
in the 68th minute when fresh-
man forward Jamie Fletcher
juggled the ball three times in
the air around Oral Roberts
Amanda Wheeler and then
knocked home the ball on the
fourth touch before it hit the
ground.
Considering the Jayhawks
Every fan in Allen Field-
house had seen something like
this before.
Paul Pierce dribbled slowly
at the top of the key, waited un-
til just before the shot clock ex-
pired, then sunk a three-point
shot with fve seconds lef.
Tats when fans started
chanting another name.
Mario Mario Mario
Mario Chalmers, the same
hero who hit the miracle shot
against Memphis in the 2008
title game, followed Pierce with
a three-pointer of his own at
the fnal buzzer.
Tere was no overtime, just
a 111-111 tie an ideal end-
ing to the Legends of the Phog
exhibition game on Saturday
afernoon at the feldhouse.
It was just like his champi-
onship shot, Pierce said. And
everyone got a replay of it to-
night.
For most of the game, there
were more laughs than defen-
sive stops and more air balls
than swishes. Tat suited the
game just fne. Simply having
these guys back in the feld-
house was all any fan could
have asked for.
But the ending was simply
cinematic.
Even afer badly missing a
few shots earlier in the game
and losing control of the ball
with six seconds lef on the shot
clock, everyone in the building
knew that Pierce would hit the
shot. And so did he.
If you dont believe that
youre going to hit it, Pierce
said, Ten why be out there?
When Chalmers followed
with yet another one of his dra-
matic shots to add to Kansas
basketball folklore, the feld-
house erupted.
Yeah I heard it, Chalm-
ers said of the fans chanting
his name before the fnal shot.
Its something that Ive done
before.
Afer the game, coach Bill
Self, former coach Larry Brown,
Pierce and Chalmers praised

gAME
pAgE 6-7
B
y the time Paul Pierce took
the ball up the court with
a five-second difference
between the game clock and shot
clock, two things were very clear:
Hes got this shot, and Mario
Chalmers has the next one.
By the time it was over, every-
one in the building had the same
thought, Did that just happen?
Saturdays Legends of The Phog
game seemed too good to be true,
and it might have been even bet-
ter than that. It was what every
college basketball fan wants to
see but never can: the big play in
April take place at home.
On that fateful night in 2008,
KU fans wanted to be at Allen
Fieldhouse chanting Marios name
and watching history unfold on
their home court. They got their
wish on Saturday.
It may not have been the same
stage, but, by the sound of it, you
wouldnt have been able to tell
the difference. It was an unusual
energy powering the fieldhouse.
Instead of the normal hunger
for victory from the crowd, the
emotion on Saturday was raw
excitement. Its a tribute to the
buildings engineers that the roof
didnt blow off the old barn at
the end.
Truthfully, a tie was the only
way the game could have ended.
Other than the fact that no
Jayhawk should lose at Allen
Fieldhouse, no one was rooting
against anyone.
When Pierce took the ball up
court on the blue teams last pos-
session, the crowd wanted him to
make it. Thirty seconds later, they
were cheering for Chalmers, a
member of the white team, to do
the same.
When fans look back at this
game, it will not make a differ-
ence who won or lost. Fans wont
remember the awkward silence
right after tipoff, when no one
knew who to root for. What they
will remember is that for 40
minutes, Jayhawk nation saw its
idols on James Naismith Court
reminding us all just how truly
magnificent the history at Kansas
is.
No matter who is coaching
here you can not say youre the
best coach, coach Bill Self said.
Dr. Allen coached here. And
no matter who is playing here,
theyre not going to be the best
player; Wilt played here. You are
a part of something much bigger
than yourself.
Over and over players and
coaches said, Only in Kansas
could they pull off something
like this, and maybe thats the
case. Where else can you bring
together such a diverse group of
stars and see the family reunion-
type aura engulf them?
I think when you play here or
coach here it doesnt get any bet-
ter than this, former KU coach
Larry Brown said. This family
here is remarkable. Its a place
that youll never forget.

interim commissioner
addresses uncertainty
The Big 12 interim commissioner,
chuck neinas, held a media telecon-
ference at 5 p.m. Friday to address the
future of the conference.
neinas will be flling in for former
commissioner Dan Beebe, who stepped
down Sept. 22.
neinas answered a variety of ques-
tions, on topics such as expansion and
the conferences image.
neinas thinks Missouri will stay.
Texas A&M and the Southeastern con-
ference made it offcial on Sunday as it
will join the Sec on July 1, 2012.
The Missouri chancellor told me he
has some new curators who want to
discuss things, neinas said. Thats
where some of the uncertainty might
come from. in the end, i think it will
be resolved.
when asked what issues need to be
corrected, neinas said trust between
the member schools is crucial. he said
the conferences image needs to be
polished.
Theyve hired me to be a commis-
sioner and ill act like a commissioner,
neinas said. if you look at my record,
im not afraid to make decisions. They
can always fre me.
As for expansions, neinas said he,
at the moment, does not know what he
or the conference will do.
he will visit the remaining schools;
to discuss the conferences issues with
the presidents and chancellors.
As for any elongated stay at com-
missioner, neinas has no interest.
i am not a candidate in any way
shape or form on a permanent basis,
neinas said. i will offer my services to
assist in the search.

gave up 12 goals in their previous two
games, playing well on the defensive
end was essential. Kansas only
allowed fve shots the entire match.
Tere wasnt that many times
where they put us under pressure and
really tested us in the back, but we did
a good job when we had the ball in
the back, Francis said.
With the conference play going
into full swing next weekend, achiev-
ing this win was the momentum the
Jayhawks might need to be competi-
tive in the Big 12.
Weve just got to continue to be
confdent and I think right now when
you lose two games like that people
start doubting themselves a little bit,
Francis said. So I think today was
good for their confdence.
