Tis football season, the March-

ing Jayhawks will play the alma


mater, Crimson and Blue, with
students and players afer every
home game. Initiated by head
football coach Charlie Weis, the
change adds to the Marching Jay-
hawks longstanding game-day
tradition.
Charlie Weis wants the stu-
dents, band and the football team
to be one unit, said Kyle Stringer,
a junior from Haven, who plays
baritone in the marching band.
Stringer said Weis has spoken to
the band on multiple occasions
conveying this idea.
Afer defeating the Jackrabbits
last Saturday, a packed stadium
participated in the new ritual. Te
band and football team lined up
next to the student section in a
show of KU pride.
I was generally very pleased,
Weis said afer the game. Itll just
get better, but for the frst rattle out
of the box, that was a pretty good
start, Weis said.
He added that the tradition
would occur afer every game, win
or lose, and encouraged students
to always participate by staying to
the end of every game.
While this end-of-game tradi-
tion is new, the Marching Jay-
hawks 13-minute pregame show
is relatively unchanged for the past
40 years, said Matthew Smith, di-
rector of the Marching Jayhawks.
Te pregame show is where
fans can expect to hear Crimson
and Blue, Im a Jayhawk, Fighting
Jayhawk, Te Star Spangled Ban-
ner and the Rock Chalk chant, as
well as to see the band do things
that are traditional only to KU,
Smith said. It embodies the spirit
and traditions of the University.
Some of the marching moves
unique to KU tradition include
spelling out KU as well as the
Sunfower and Block-K forma-
tions, Smith said.
And beginning last year, the
halfime show is new for every
game. Fans can expect superhero,
Latin and classic rockthemed
shows featuring music from mov-
ies like Spiderman and Te
Dark Knight and from singer
Shakira, Smith said.
Tough practice can be dif-
cult at times, especially being in
the heat six hours a week, Stringer
said it is all worth it.
During the game, its like youre
doing it for the frst time, Stringer
said.
Emily Scholle, a senior from
Lawrence and tenor saxophone
player in the band, fnds comfort
in the bands tradition.
Alumni will see the same pre-
game show that they saw when
they were in college, Scholle said.
So many traditions have been up-
held this year, and with this new
one, I feel honored to be part of it
all.

You may have seen the last in-
stallment of the Batman trilogy
this summer or the latest silver-
screen take on one of Marvels
most famous superheroes, the
Amazing Spider-Man. You may
have even joined in on the Aveng-
ers craze.
However, you may not have
been in a room with 500 other
people dressed up as their favor-
ite comic book characters. You
most likely havent seen a frst
edition of the Amazing Spider-
Man. And you probably havent
spent an entire day rifing through
boxes and boxes of bargain comic
books, speaking with comic book
creators and receiving a commis-
sioned caricature of yourself as a
zombie. Well, now is your chance.
Te Free State Comicon is this
Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at
the Douglas County fairgrounds.
For a $5 admission fee, attendees
can receive merchandise like post-
ers and t-shirts, meet more than
30 local comic book creators, see
rare items and buy toys and books
from dealers.
For a lot of people, going to a
comicon is all about fnding those
rare issues for a cheap price, said
Craig Klotz, organizer of the Free
State Comicon. Tere has been
huge success with all of the Mar-
vel and Batman flms. People have
taken notice and are now seeking
out the source material.
Klotz started the Free State
Comicon seven years ago. At the
beginning, an average of 400 to
500 people showed up. Last year,
that number almost doubled, and
this year Klotz is expecting up to
1,000 comic book fans from all
over Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma
and Missouri.
One of those 1,000 people will
be Joel Pfannenstiel, owner of As-
trokitty, Lawrences only comic
book store. Pfannenstiel has been
to the convention for the last sev-
en years; he sells comic books and
does commissioned artwork.
I have a good time, and I ex-
pose people to the fact that we
exist here in town, Pfannenstiel
said. I get to see friends I havent
seen in a while and interact with
other creators.
Pfannenstiel got into comic
books as a kid when his father
introduced him to Conan the
Barbarian. He met Klotz in 2003
while he was working part-time at
Mass Street Comics. Pfannenstiel
said Klotz was originally a Trek-
kie who got into comic books
later.
He loved it so much, and he
saw the opportunity to fll a niche
here in town, Pfannenstiel said.
Aside from collecting his own
stuf, he created a unique thing
here in Lawrence.
Klotz said he wants to remain
separated from todays image of a
comic book convention. Over the
years, he said, these mega conven-
tions have become more about
Hollywood; the comic books have
become secondary.
Comic books are taking a back
seat, Klotz said. But I love the art
form. Its a great blending of litera-
ture and artwork that tells a visual
story in the same way TV or flm
does, only you have to use your
imagination to fll in the gaps.

Te Lawrence Trail Hawks will
be hosting the 2nd annual Hawk
Hundred at Clinton Lake Saturday
and Sunday.
Te Hawk Hundred is a 100
mile race open to anyone wanting
to participate. Tis year will be the
second ever 100 mile race in Law-
rence, the frst to combine three
distances. Participants can choose
to run 100 miles, 50 miles, or the
marathon which is 26.2 miles.
Im excited to have the 100 mile
and 50 mile runners on the course
together, said race director Danny
Miller. Teyll give each other a
boost throughout the day and be
there for emotional support.
Tere are 128 runners registered
from 15 diferent states. Te race
begins Saturday at 6:00 a.m.
James Partridge, a graduate stu-
dent in the chemistry department,
will be running his 18th marathon
on Saturday.
Im most looking forward to
getting a chance to get out and get a
good, long run in, Partridge said.
According to Miller, the Hawk
Hundred was thought up by the
Lawrence Trail Hawks and is a huge
production. Miller, along with the
other race director Coleen Voeks,
are both fnishers of multiple 100-
mile races. Voeks will be participat-
ing in this weekends race.
You always want everyone to
fnish and have a good time, Miller
said. If you go into with the atti-
tude that you have to win, youre
missing the point. Its a personal
discovery sport.

New website gives live
updates of local bars
Its Friday night. You and a group of
friends are trying to fnd the place to
be, but there are more than 20 bars
to choose from. You dont want a
place thats too crowded or too dead,
and you cant remember the drink
specials.
Next week, Lawrencebarslive.com
will be there to guide you through the
decision process. Lawrencebarslive.
com, a website that will conveniently
tell you all of this information, is set to
launch at midnight next Thursday. The
site allows you to select a bar, view
the bars Twitter and Facebook feeds,
which include drink specials, and see
a real-time photo of the interior of the
bar every 10 seconds.
Three University of Kansas gradu-
ates created the website, which
currently contains information and
photos for eight venues. The photos
are intentionally blurred, so a person
viewing will not be able to identify
anyone in the bar. The purpose of the
picture is to see whether or not the bar
is full and to help viewers plan their
night accordingly.

Celebrities show support for Obama
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Celebri-
ties are focking to Charlotte for the
Democratic convention, albeit with-
out the prop furniture that made
Clint Eastwoods appearance at last
weeks Republican convention so
talked about.
Tus far, the DNC has seen a
large number of celebrity attend-
ees, but not quite the outpouring
of high-wattage support President
Barack Obama engendered in 2008.
Surprise guests could still arrive, like
Eastwood did for his unexpected
speech bestride an empty seat at the
RNC.
But without Obamas most fa-
mous supporters Oprah Winfrey,
George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Ben Af-
feck, Anne Hathaway the likeli-
hood of any celebrity causing the stir
Eastwood did seems slim.
Eva Longoria, a co-chair of
Obamas reelection campaign, was
due to address delegates Wednes-
day. Ashley Judd is attending as a
Tennessee delegate. Will.i.am, who
wrote the song Yes We Can for
Obamas 2008 run, attended former
President Bill Clintons fundraiser
Tuesday, and was to join a panel
about innovative solutions to unem-
ployment on Wednesday.
Kal Penn, the Harold and Ku-
mar Go to White Castle actor who
earlier worked as associate director
in the White House Ofce of Public
Engagement, addressed the crowd
on Tuesday. His comedic speech in-
cluded a reference to Eastwood.
Ive worked on a lot of fun mov-
ies, but my favorite job was having a
boss who gave the order to take out
Bin Laden and whos cool with all of
us getting gay married, said Penn.
So thank you invisible man in the
chair for that.
Penn is also hosting live stream-
ing coverage of the convention
Tursday for BarackObama.com.
His guests are expected to include
Elizabeth Banks and Olivia Wilde,
among others. Penn also created a
YouTube video in which he receives
a phone call from Obama while he
sits on a couch eating pizza with his
Harold and Kumar co-star, John
Cho.
Te biggest celebrity infusion
will likely come Tursday ahead
of Obamas speech and acceptance
of the partys nomination. Among
those scheduled to perform Turs-
day are the Foo Fighters, James Tay-
lor, Mary J. Blige, Earth Wind and
Fire, and Marc Anthony, who is to
sing the national anthem. Amber
Riley of Glee sang on Tuesday.
Jef Bridges, performing with his
band the Abiders, is in Charlotte af-
ter a trip last week to Tampa for the
RNC. Hes seeking bipartisan sup-
port for the No Kid Hungry cam-
paign.

CANGREJAL, Costa Rica A
powerful, magnitude-7.6 earth-
quake shook Costa Rica and a
wide swath of Central America on
Wednesday, collapsing some hous-
es, blocking highways and causing
panic and at least one death from a
heart attack.
Costa Rica President Laura
Chinchilla announced there were
no reports of major damage and
called for calm.
At the epicenter, the beach town
of Cangrejal, Jairo Zuniga, 27, said
everything in his house fell when
the quake hit at 8:42 a.m. (10:42
a.m. EDT; 1442 GMT).
It was incredibly strong. Ive
felt earthquakes, but this one was
wow, he said.
Te U.S. Geological Survey said
the quake was centered about 38
miles (60 kilometers) from the
town of Liberia and 87 miles (140
kilometers) west of the capital, San
Jose, where frightened people ran
into the streets.
Te magnitude initially was
estimated at 7.9, but was quickly
downgraded. Local residents said
it shook for about 30 seconds and
was felt as far away as neighbor-
ing Panama and Nicaragua, where
school was canceled in some areas.
Panama also briefy called for
people to evacuate beach areas.
ATHENS, Greece Greek
police say they have made more
than 3,000 arrests in a month-
old campaign to hold and de-
port illegal immigrants.
A police statement says nearly
17,000 people were temporarily
detained in the greater Athens
area since the drive started on
Aug. 4, with 2,144 of those ar-
rested.
Debt-crippled Greece is the
main gateway to the European
Union for illegal immigrants,
most coming from Asia and Af-
rica. Te infux has fueled racist
rhetoric and violence.
Hundreds of thousands have
entered Greece in recent years,
and ofcials said Wednesday
some 400 were illegally crossing
the land border with Turkey ev-
ery day before the clampdown.
Te Turkish border infux has
dropped 84 percent, the police
statement said, with 1,121 il-
legal immigrants arrested there
over the past month, compared
to 6,991 a year earlier.
NEW DELHI A massive
blaze raged for hours at a freworks
factory in southern India, killing
at least 40 workers and injuring
60 others Wednesday, police said.
Some reports put the death toll at
more than 50.
Flames billowing out of the fac-
tory could be seen 1.5 kilometers
(one mile) away before frefghters
with about a dozen fre engines ex-
tinguished the fre more than fve
hours afer it began, witnesses and
news reports said. Photographs
taken aferward showed the fac-
tory had burned to rubble and fre-
works littered the ground.
Te fre spread to 40 of the 60
rooms at the Om Siva Shakti fre-
works factory, one of the biggest in
Sivakasi town in Tamil Nadu state,
police ofcer P. Karupaiah said.
Te Press Trust of India news
agency said about 300 people were
working in the factory and 52 died.
Te CNN-IBN television news
channel said rescue workers had
completed a search of the devastat-
ed building for trapped workers.
Large amounts of frecrackers
and raw materials were stored in
the factory with major Hindu fes-
tivals weeks away.
Te cause of the fre was not im-
mediately known, Karupaiah said.
Te region has many factories
making freworks, which are used
in religious festivals and weddings
across India. Tey also are export-
ed to other Asian countries.

Pope gifted electric car
for greener traveling
VATICAN CITY Pope
Benedict XVI is now a bit green-
er.
Te 85-year-old pontif was
presented with his frst electric
car Wednesday, a customized
white Renault Kangoo for jaunts
around the gardens of the papal
summer residence at Castel Gan-
dolfo.
Benedict has been dubbed
the green pope for his envi-
ronmental concerns, which have
been a hallmark of his papacy. He
has written of the need to protect
Gods creation in his encyclicals,
and raised the issue on his for-
eign trips and in his annual peace
messages.
Under his watch, the Vatican
has installed photovoltaic cells on
its main auditorium and joined a
reforestation project to ofset its
carbon dioxide emissions.
But now the pope has his
own ozone-preserving electric
car, which he used on Wednes-
day to travel from the helipad
at Castel Gandolfo through the
gardens back to his palazzo. He
was returning to his retreat in the
Alban Hills south of Rome afer
presiding over his weekly general
audience in the Vatican.
Earlier this year, Italian auto-
maker NWG donated an electric
car to the Vatican, but it was for
the press ofce to use. Renault on
Wednesday also turned over the
keys to a blue version of the Kan-
goo for the Vatican gendarmes to
tool around Vatican City.

on its doors, it isnt a popemo-
bile.

Many college students would
rather spend their time doing any-
thing but working, but recent stud-
ies show that money isnt the only
beneft of a part-time job. Te Unit-
ed States Bureau of Labor Statistics
found that students who worked
between one and 20 hours a week
get better grades then students who
do not work. Tis may come as a
surprise, because common logic
would lead one to believe that less
time working means more time
to complete school work. In most
cases though, more free time means
more time to do things other than
homework.
Mary Ann Rasnak, director of
the Academic Achievement and
Access Center, agrees that having a
job is an important part of learning
responsibility and becoming inde-
pendent.
We all get more done when we
are busy, she said.
Jessica Eaton, a sophomore from
Dodge City, is proof of this statistic.
Having a job helps me manage
my time better, because I have to
plan studying around work. It helps
keep me organized, Eaton said.
Work was never an option for
Eaton, a waitress who has to pay
for almost everything on her own.
Even with working and school, she
still fnds time to participate in a so-
rority and loves to go running. She
shows it is possible to have a part-
time job, go to school and have a
social life.
However, the same study also
found that working too many hours
can have a negative efect on your
grades, with the average GPA for
students who worked full-time jobs
being lower than those who dont
work at all. Twenty hours is the hap-
py medium, because working too
much can leave you with no time to
balance work and school and keep
up in your classes.
Te most successful people I
meet are the ones that have the right
balance, Rasnak said.
Twenty hours a week will most
likely give you the motivation to
be productive with your free time,
while working too much will give
you no free time.
Although Rasnak said that some-
times it would be nice to have ev-
erything paid for, Eaton said she
wouldnt change how things are.
Ill go to class because I know
that its my money I would be wast-
ing if I didnt, Eaton said. I dont
take it for granted.

proposed Keystone XL pipeline route altered
OMAHA, Neb. Te com-
pany that wants to build a pipe-
line to transport crude oil from
Canada to Gulf Coast refneries
said Wednesday it has revised its
proposed new route through Ne-
braska to avoid environmentally
sensitive areas.
Te latest proposed Keystone
XL pipeline route is TransCan-
adas second attempt to satisfy
state environmental regulators.
Te Nebraska Department of
Environmental Quality said in
July that the initial revised route
crossed land that could erode eas-
ily and passed near unconfned
aquifers that supply drinking wa-
ter to residents and livestock.
Te new TransCanada propos-
al tweaks that April plan, making
the route veer east shortly afer
entering the state to avoid more
of the sensitive areas in Keya Paha
County, east again around the
town of Clarks and west around
the town of Western to avoid
drinking water well felds.
TransCanada shares the goal
of protecting key water and natu-
ral resources with Nebraskans,
TransCanada CEO Russ Girling
said. Te proposal also upgrades
planned safety measures, add-
ing more remote control shut-of
valves and inspections, the com-
pany said.
Nebraska regulators said they
would review the new proposal
and hold a public hearing on it
before submitting a recommenda-
tion to the governor, possibly by
the end of the year. Te governor
will decide whether to approve
the new route for the pipeline.
An initial scan of
the report indicates
that it responds to
some of the com-
ments raised by the
NDEQ and the pub-
lic, but a full evalua-
tion will now begin,
said Mike Linder,
director of the state
agency.
Environmental groups have
long opposed the pipeline project
because of concerns that it could
contaminate underground and
surface water supplies, increase
air pollution around refneries
and harm wildlife.
Bold Nebraskas Jane Kleeb said
the latest new route doesnt go far
enough to address her groups
concerns about potential erosion
of the Sandhills and groundwater
contamination, so she believes
state and federal ofcials should
block the pipeline.
Te route still crosses the
aquifer and it still crosses sandy
soil, so all of the same concerns
remain, Kleeb said.
TransCanada spokesman Gra-
dy Semmens said only 36 miles of
the 275 miles of pipeline in Ne-
braska would cross sandy soils,
and the new route entirely avoids
the area Nebraska defned as the
Sandhills.
Joe Mendelson of the National
Wildlife Federation said the Key-
stone XL pipeline puts too much
natural habitat at risk.
Te best approach is to ditch
Keystone XL entirely and em-
brace clean energy solutions that
dont spill
or explode,
Mendelson
said.
T h e
pipeline is
d e s i g ne d
to carry oil
from Can-
ada across
Montana, South Dakota, Nebras-
ka, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas.
TransCanada also has proposed
connecting it to the Bakken oil
feld in Montana and North Da-
kota.
President Barack Obama re-
jected TransCanadas original ap-
plication for a federal permit to
build the pipeline in January by
afer congressional Republicans
imposed a deadline for approval
that didnt allow enough time to
address questions about the route
through Nebraska.
Since then, TransCanada has
split the project into two pieces.
Te company began construc-
tion last month on the southern
section of the pipeline between
Oklahoma and the Gulf Coast.

ecent events of this sum-
mer have brought the
gun issue to the attention
of many Americans. Multiple
mass shootings over the last two
months have caused people to re-
examine their views on gun con-
trol. Tis has always been a divi-
sive issue and the recent horrifc
events will do nothing to assuage
the intense emotional response
that accompanies this debate for
a great number of people.
Since the ratifcation of the
Second Amendment, we have
seen an evolvement in what it
means to bear arms. Te tech-
nology of frearms has grown
at an exponential rate, and the
types of weapons readily avail-
able to the public are capable
of inficting extreme damage,
quickly, to large amounts of
people.
When the Second Amend-
ment was written, it was in-
cluded because many men in
our country were militia and it
was necessary for them to have
weapons for national security
purposes. We are no longer un-
der an immediate threat to be
invaded by an enemy (unless
North Korea suddenly devel-
ops sailing technology), but the
amendment still stands because
it is important for people to have
the right to weapons if they feel
they need them in their home
for their protection.
Tis right is a basic part of
our nations foundation as are
others included in the bill of
rights. Like other rights aforded
by our founding principles, this
one is in need of regulation.
We have freedom of speech
but it is regulated when it comes
to slander. It is also regulated
in schools and other locations
where not all types of apparel
are permitted. We regulate free-
dom of religion when it comes
to polygamy. We are able to en-
joy our freedoms as long as they
do not interfere with another
persons inalienable rights.
Specifcally when it comes to
gun control it is important to
note that in the last ten years,
the regulations have decreased
although the technology has
continued to become contrast-
ingly more lethal.
Te assault weapons ban
which was passed in 1994, ex-
pired in 2004. Te ban outlawed
the selling of assault weapons.
Gun control is a right we have
that needs more regulation. Te
Second Amendment does not
need to be struck but it is im-
portant to distinguish the intent
with which it was written, and
how the meaning of the amend-
ment at the time and how that
is diferent from its meaning
today. Te second amendment
was never meant to mean that
individuals should be allowed to
own an AK-47.
Te renewal of the assault
weapons ban is one of the ways
to regulate guns. High capacity
ammo clips have an equally il-
legitimate claim for reasonable
right to bear arms and a higher
regulation of gun purchasing
through methods such as back-
ground checks are needed.
Te deeper problem with gun
violence will not be solved by
these measures but it will be al-
leviated. Some would argue that
this would not keep criminals
from obtaining these weapons.
It is right to believe that this will
not be a completely encompass-
ing solution but it will seriously
curtail the ability of everyone,
including criminals, to purchase
these types of guns and unnec-
essary ammo clips.

N
ot everyone realizes,
but presidential elec-
tions in the United
States are more than a domestic
event of exclusive American in-
terest. It is also an international
one. Tat makes perfect sense,
of course, given the infuence the
U.S. has on the rest of the world.
As a Brazilian citizen living in
the U.S., it is no surprise that in-
ternational friends ask me about
my perspective on American
politics. Recently, this topic came
up during summer when I was
in Switzerland. We were a group
of four people representing four
diferent nationalities: Finnish,
Norwegian, Portuguese, and Bra-
zilian. We talked about the Re-
publican primaries, which were
still going on, and about Obamas
proposals.
We were astonished that guys
like Newt Gingrich and Rick
Santorum were seen by many as
feasible presidential candidates.
Tey looked like crazy candidates
to us. But every country has its
fair share of political-nuts, and
we could wrap our minds around
that.
What we could not understand
were the allegations, made even
by apparently respectable media
outlets, that Obama is a socialist
or a lef-wing extremist. We dis-
cussed it, and the conclusion was
clear: in our respective countries,
Obama would be considered a
fairly conservative politician; a
guy most likely to be found at our
own versions of the Republican
Party.
While in the U.S., most of
Obamas policies, such as uni-
versal healthcare, are highly
challenged, they are considered
pretty much a no-brainer to other
developed countries (and even to
not as developed countries, like
Brazil).
Extreme conservatism in the
U.S. shifed the political spectrum
to the right, and this becomes
clear when we make an interna-
tional analysis.
In Brazil, Fernando Henrique
Cardoso, a former president seen
by all as right-wing, started a so-
cial welfare program that makes
direct cash transfers to the poor.
Food stamps being as controver-
sial as they are in the U.S., I can
almost hear the conservatives in
an uproar had Obama proposed
the same thing here.
Other examples of social wel-
fare accepted and ofen applauded
by conservatives outside the U.S.
include the Finnish public higher
education system, which charges
no tuition-fees, and the public
health care in Norway, which is
free to every citizen.
As we concluded, a candidate
like Barack Obama, ofen labeled
as a lef-wing politician, would be
most likely classifed as a center-
right abroad.
I am not an American citizen.
Tat means my personal views of
politics are irrelevant to the out-
comes of this election. In addi-
tion, although I really enjoy living
here, it is most likely that I will
not be around when any changes
the next president makes take ef-
fect.
I do not get the opportunity to
vote in these elections, but I hope
that a bit of international politics
can bring a diferent perspec-
tive to those who vote. President
Obama may not be a republican
in the U.S., but internationally, he
comes of pretty conservative.

Debate continues over gun rights
By Clay Cosby

Western Civilization I and II
need to remain as general educa-
tion requirements for the college of
liberal arts and sciences. Western
Civ expands ones critical thinking
skills and forces one to think about
the big questions in life. During
my Western Civ class discussion
sections, we explored these ques-
tions: Why do bad things happen to
good people? Does God exist? Is
it better to be feared than loved? I
found myself contemplating these
questions with classmates, friends,
and, ultimately, myself once I lef
the classroom. Gaining perspec-
tive from the worlds greatest minds
took me on an intellectual journey.
I was awestruck by Senecas opti-
mism. I researched Mills theory
on utilitarianism. I mulled over the
morality of Aristotles premises of
nature. Tese classes introduced
myself and other students to an ide-
ological spectrum and forced us to
examine what we believe and why
we believe it.
I believe in the incredible benefts
of a liberal arts education. A true
liberal arts education should make
students better thinkers and should
enrich and increase ones intellec-
tual framework. To expand ones in-
tellectual framework, students must
step out of their comfort zones. Te
greater truth is that many students
dislike Western Civ because they
feel that it is too difcult. Students
dont want to take difcult general
education courses when they could
instead focus their time and efort
on courses within their chosen ma-
jor. Te proposed new curriculum
will cater to students who want to
make their education one-dimen-
sional. Students will avoid taking
courses in the Western Civ depart-
ment to enroll in courses that they
like. Tis is unfortunate because
the world needs more well-rounded
thinkers, more critical thinkers. If
truly embraced, Western Civ cours-
es can hone skills that magnify the
lens in which one views the world.
Sadly, future KU students may miss
out on that opportunity.

Bob Dylan is a name known
to all he is a legend. Dylan,
now 71 years old, is releasing his
35th studio album Wednesday,
Sept. 11. His lyrics can resonate
with anyone, reminding us Dont
Tink Twice, Its All Right, or that
Te Times are a-Changing.
We are exposed to an infux of
music that ranges from alterna-
tive, to pop, to the growing sen-
sation of EDM (electronic dance
music), but the vintage artists
have been lef behind. Bob Dylan
has managed to remain relevant
over the past 50 years, infuenc-
ing many musicians whose music
we recognize from the past, such
as Te Beatles and the Rolling
Stones, to the present, such as
Conor Oberst (Bright Eyes) and
Jack White (Te White Stripes).
Although artists like Dylan
may not receive as much atten-
tion as the new and upcoming
artists and DJs, he hasnt put the
brakes on his work. Tere has
been speculation that due to the
title of the album, Tempest, this
could be his fnal album, signify-
ing the end of an iconic career.
In an interview with Rolling
Stone, Dylan referenced Shake-
speare. Tis led people to draw
the connection between the two,
noting that Shakespeares fnal
play was titled Te Temptest.
Te album as a whole is said
to embrace darker concepts that
Dylan fans may not be as familiar
with when compared to his previ-
ous work. If you have never been
a fan of Dylans music, this album
could be the place to start.
Dylan already released a mu-
sic video for the opening track,
Dusquesne Whistle. Te release
sparked controversy because of
the violence shown in the nearly
6-minute-long video. Te ma-
jority of the song sounds like it
could be from any of Dylans past
albums, but the ending is where
one of his weirdest albums ever
truly starts, according to Rolling
Stone.
Dylan has spent the past year
touring Europe, and will start a
U.S. tour this fall.

Te models will walk down the
runway, trying their best not to
trip in front of the audience. Tey
will strut in everything from for-
mal dresses, casual wear to ath-
letic clothing.
However, instead of spend-
ing their time auditioning to be
on Americas Next Top Model,
these men and women have day
jobs working for more than 10
diferent medical felds and Van
Go, Inc.
Te Douglas County Medical
Alliance is hosting a charity fash-
ion show tomorrow evening at
the Van Go Inc. building in Law-
rence. Tickets to the seventh an-
nual event cost $30, and proceeds
raised in ticket sales will beneft
Health Care Access and Van Go,
Inc.
Health Care Access is a clinic
that helps Douglas County resi-
dents with fnancial difculties
receive health care, and Van Go
Inc. gives the under-served youth
constructive activities involving
art.
[Tey are] both amazing or-
ganizations run by inspiring
women who serve those who of-
ten fall through the cracks, said
Barb Heeb, chair coordinator of
the event.
Heeb said the show will fea-
ture everything from casual wear
to formal clothing. She said the
fashion aspect of the charity event
is rather ironic, because she and
others involved are not exactly
fashion-conscious people.
We had to convince several in
the medical community to walk
the runway for this cause, she
said. Many of them serve as vol-
unteers for the clinic. Its really all
about supporting the cause. But,
in my opinion, thats the beauty
of living in Lawrence and being a
part of this community. Tere are
so many diferent styles and dif-
ferent ways to defne beauty.
Kathy Ramirez, an operating
room nurse, will model clothing
by Starstruck.
She said it is a great opportu-
nity to raise funds for those in the
community who are in need.
Health care providers espe-
cially have a responsibility to help
those who need healthcare and
assistance, Ramirez said. It is
very unfortunate that not every-
one has access to health care.
Te fashion show will also have
food, a rafe and several local
vendors selling their art.
One of the vendors, Univer-
sity of Kansas sophomore Da-
kota Driscoll from Lawrence, was
invited to sell her nail art at the
fashion show.
Driscoll created a nail design
for the event using the events
logo. She plans on donating at
least 20 percent of her profts to
the charities.
Really, any kind of charity
would be cool, and Im excited
to be able to donate any kind of
proft I make, she said.
All ticket-holders receive a 20
percent discount at several stores
and restaurants in the Lawrence
area. Te discount will last from
Sept. 6 through 9.
Tis event is all about bring-
ing people together to celebrate
the spirit of giving for two great
organizations, Heeb said. And it
supports local businesses en-
couraging people to get out and
shop and take advantage of local
restaurants/vendors.

New event combines
yoga and running
This Saturday, Sept. 8, marks the frst
annual World AFib Day Yoga and Run/
Walk. The event will consist of a 30-min-
ute yoga session followed by a 5k run/
walk.
The $25 fee to participate supports
the Global Atrial Fibrillation Alliance,
a nonproft organization started by Dr.
Dhanunjaya Lakkireddy. Lakkireddy, an
electrophysiologist with Mid-America
Cardiology hopes to raise awareness for
and research atrial fbrillation. Accord-
ing to the Mayo Clinic, atrial fbrillation
causes the upper chambers of the heart
(the atria) to beat out of coordination
with the lower chambers (the ventricles).
This can increase the victims risk for
heart failure or stroke.
The yoga and run/walk event will take
place at the Theatre in the Park Location
of Shawnee Mission Park, 7900 Renner
Road, Shawnee, KS 66219. Check-in will
run from 7 to 7:30 a.m., yoga will begin
at 7:30 a.m. and the run will take place
at 8 a.m. Planners are expecting about
200 participants for their frst event.

NEW YORK At 51, Melissa
Etheridge isnt coasting on her
accomplishments. Take her guitar
work.
The Grammy Award-winning
singer-songwriter, whose 12th
studio album has been released
this week, challenged herself to
play all the guitar parts this time
around for the first time.
I kind of thought when I was
30 that youre as good as your
going to get. And thats not true,
she says. I have gotten so much
better and Im celebrating it on
this album.
The album, 4th Street Feeling,
has a dozen songs that mostly look
backward to her parents, child-
hood and breakups. Its named
after a street in Etheridges home-
town of Leavenworth, Kan.
Im exploring being 51. Im
exploring the maturity, the wis-
dom that just comes from having
gone around the sun 50 times, she
says. My experience is, Oh, Im
never really going to get it right.
Im never going to get it done.
But thats not the point here. The
point is the journey.
Listeners will get some nostal-
gia as well as new stuff. She tries
out a banjitar an instrument

The whole album is new com-

Etheridge, best known for her
songs Come to My Window and

Tammy Lynn Michaels, with whom
shes endured a messy split.

Etheridge sings in A Disaster. On
another, Be Real, she asks, You

And her tune Sympathy begins
with the powerful line, Theres a liar

life could cause a problem at home.
Your career could beneft from the
new contacts you make. Balance.

Then go rejuvenate an old bond.

WeeKeND hOROSCOPeS
SEPTEMBER 7
Aries (March 21-April 19)
today is a 7
An insider tip leads to a great

scenes. Review your plans one
more time, and then soar.

while you have a good time together.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Hold the position youve taken, but

ing for? Now is the time to step out
of your comfort zone and go for what
you truly believe in. Set long-range
goals over the next two days.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Be gracious to a jerk. Your theory

acquired, or it could slip away. A light
touch works better. Query a person of
many talents.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec.21)

Youre entering a two-day partnership

See what you can do for others,

than you need. Listen to suggestions.
Its not great for travel yet.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
today is a 7
Youre looking good, but watch out

What would? Do that.

vantage. Dont run out on a promise.
Plan for possible travel delays. Do have
people over instead of going out.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec.21)
today is a 6
Dont worry, this overwhelming pe-
riod is only temporary. A speech goes

your authority in the coming week, and
appreciate the gains.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
today is a 5
List the things you want to change,

crease clutter in the coming week.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

dom youve accrued. It feels fresh.

clears ideas.

growing. Keep watering and maintain-
ing the harvest for the future. Imagina-
tion wins.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
today is a 6
Take it easy on yourself for a couple
of days. Lose yourself in projects that
require concentration. Stop to acknowl-
edge your accomplishments. Pay off
old debts to lighten your load.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

rial. Doing the job right is rewarding.

communication over a dull email. Pro-
tect your savings.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

WASHINGTON A former
Navy SEALs insider account of the
raid that killed Osama bin Laden
contains classifed information, the
Pentagon said Tuesday, and the ad-
miral who heads the Naval Special
Warfare Command said details in
the book may provide enemies with
dangerous insight into secretive
U.S. operations.
Rear Adm. Sean Pybus told his
force Tuesday that hawking details
about a mission and selling other
information about SEAL training
and operations puts the force and
their families at risk.
For an elite force that should
be humble and disciplined for life,
we are certainly not appearing to
be so, Pybus wrote in a letter to
the roughly 8,000 troops under his
command. We owe our chain of
command much better than this.
Te letter was obtained by Te
Associated Press.
At the Pentagon, press secretary
George Little said that an ofcial
review of the book, No Easy Day,
determined that it reveals what he
called sensitive and classifed in-
formation. He was not more specif-
ic but said the author was required
to submit the book to the Pentagon
before publication for a formal re-
view of potential disclosures of such
information.
When you have special opera-
tions units that perform these mis-
sions, there are tactics, techniques,
and procedures, not to mention hu-
man life, that are in play, Little said.
And it is the height of irresponsibil-
ity not to have this kind of material
checked for the possible disclosure
of classifed information.
He told reporters during a brief-
ing that the Pentagon is still review-
ing what legal options should be
taken against the author.
If the Pentagon determines the
bin Laden book does disclose clas-
sifed secrets, the government could
consider bringing federal criminal
charges against Bissonnette. Te
potential charges and penalties
would depend largely on what type
of secrets were disclosed.
Pybus, in his letter, was more di-
rect, saying that, We must imme-
diately reconsider how we properly
infuence our people in and out of
uniform NOT to seek inappropri-
ate monetary, political, or celebrity
proft from their service with the
SEALS.
We all have much to gain or
lose, he said. In the weeks ahead,
we will be taking actions to meet
this challenge, and I appreciate your
leadership and support of our com-
munity in this efort.
Last week, Adm. William McRa-
ven, head of U.S. Special Operations
Command, warned his troops that
he would take legal action against
anyone found to have exposed
sensitive information that could
cause fellow forces harm. Te Na-
val Special Warfare Command is a
unit within U.S. Special Operations
Command.
A lawyer for author Matt Bisson-
nette, who wrote under the pseud-
onym Mark Owen, has disputed
that he was legally obliged to have
the book screened before publica-
tion.
Bissonnettes co-author Kevin
Maurer said in a statement Tuesday
that Bissonnette was meticulous
about adhering to his desire to nev-
er do anything to undermine the
SEALs mission or put his former
colleagues in harms way.

EXCESS hOLLYWOOD
movie reviews with Landon McDonald
B
y now were all familiar with the
well-worn tropes of the exorcist
movie. A child, usually a pubescent
girl, suddenly begins speaking in tongues,
contorting her limbs or playing leapfrog
on the ceiling. Her desperate parents turn
to a holy man, usually a grim old veteran
or a handsome young skeptic, who en-
deavors to cast out the malignant demon,
thus saving the soul of its intended victim.
In the end, the monster flees and faith is
restored through devotion, sacrifice and a
modest pea soup budget.
There have been variations, of course.
The original The Exorcist turned the
rite into a violent metaphor for puberty
and the rise of feminism. The Exorcism
of Emily Rose used a demonic takeover
as the McGuffin for a riveting courtroom
drama.
Ole Bornedals new film The
Possession lifts the sub-genre out of the
mothballs of Catholicism and into the
older, richer realm of Jewish folklore. Its a
welcome change, although the results end
up feeling disappointingly familiar.
The film starts off as a low-key domes-
tic drama. Clyde (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), a
recently divorced college basketball coach,
has been struggling to reconnect with
his daughters Em (Natasha Calis) and
Hannah (Madison Davenport) ever since
his wife (Kyra Sedgwick) kicked him out.
Desperate for something to do during one
of their weekend visits, he takes the girls
to a neighborhood yard sale where Em
happens upon an old wooden box carved
with Hebrew scripture. Clyde, being a
good father but a piss-poor student of
horror movies, buys the thing and lets his
daughters take it home with them.
Unfortunately the box contains a
dybbuk, a parasitic spirit bent on using
Em as its latest host body. Realizing his
child is in mortal danger, Clyde contacts
Tzadock (Matisyahu), a Hassidic rabbi
who definitely falls under the handsome
young skeptic variety. From there, The
Possession plays out like any number of
recent exorcist movies, from The Rite
to last Januarys exceptionally bad The
Devil Inside, complete with an intrusive
soundtrack and a rushed, hackneyed end-
ing.
Its a shame The Possession sur-
renders to contrivance in its third act,
because the rest of the film is surprisingly
engaging. The characters are well-drawn
and some of the scares are at least visually
inventive, especially during a memorable
scene where a possessed Em appears to
inhale a swarm of live moths.
Morgans Clyde character is a genuine-
ly sympathetic creation, a good-hearted
clod who just wants to do right by his
daughters.

L
auren Greenfelds new documen-
tary, Te Queen of Versailles, is an
engrossing caricature of the Ameri-
can Dream, personifed by the obscene
wealth of timeshare mogul David Siegel
and his extended family. Te flm, cur-
rently in limited release, could at frst be
mistaken for a feature-length Real House-
wives episode in which the low-hanging
excesses of the ignorant rich are held up
for easy ridicule.
Yet Greenfeld, who directed the eating
disorder expos Tin in 2006, is not con-
tent to simply rattle gilded cages or settle
for the cut-rate voyeurism of reality TV.
Instead she delves into the lives of these
spray-tanned aristocrats with equal parts
empathy and morbid fascination, inviting
the audience to decide for itself what would
compel someone to build the largest house
in America, in this case a 90,000-square-
foot monstrosity inspired, apparently sans
irony, by Marie Antoinettes Versailles and
built across from Disney World.
Our guide through this opulent circus
is the Queen herself, Jacqueline Siegel, Da-
vids current wife and the mother of eight
of his children. A former Mrs. Florida win-
ner supported mainly by Botox and silicon,
Jacqueline enjoys replenishing her full-to-
bursting wardrobe, commissioning outra-
geous Greco-Roman frescoes of her family
and adopting enough little white dogs to
start a hunting reserve for Cruella de Vil.
One of the flms central pleasures is how
it allows the viewer to identify with this
garish but strangely likeable woman. Ap-
pearances aside, Jacqueline clearly loves
her kids but struggles to express that love,
buying them things they never ask for,
hoarding their childhood keepsakes in
warehouses and fearing they might actu-
ally have to go to college afer the fnancial
crisis puts the future of Davids real estate
empire in jeopardy. Greenfelds level of
access at times stretches the limits of cre-
dulity. Would David Siegel, a notoriously
shrewd businessman, really allow her to
document the implosion of Westgate, the
company he spent decades building? Jac-
queline, for her part, seems to view the
camera as a one-way therapist, pouring
out her doubts and worries with garrulous
honesty. Te children, meanwhile, seem so
desensitized to spectacle that a flm crew in
their house only warrants the occasional
raised eyebrow or paused Playstation.
Shortly afer the real estate bubble burst,
construction on the Siegels modern-day
Xanadu was postponed indefnitely. Te
mansions open-air skeleton, now too costly
to sell, is perhaps the flms most potent im-
age, symbolizing the careless lending and
spending that nearly brought our nation to
its knees. In many ways, its also a metaphor
for the Queen of Versailles herself: a lavish
construct with an uncertain future.

Its FREE to increase your artis-
tic knowledge! Take a stroll and
observe impressive art collec-
tions that The Kemper Museum
of Contemporary Art and The
Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art
have to offer. This Sunday, SUA is
taking an afternoon to explore the
art scene in Kansas City.
In my opinion, students
myself included do not take
advantage of how close we are
to Kansas City and everything
the city has to offer, said Bea
Tretbar, coordinator of The Fine
Arts Committee. The museums
are worth the trip and would be a
great experience for anyone inter-
ested.
The bus will leave the Kansas
Union at 10 a.m. and will return
by 6 p.m. To tag along, sign up
in the SUA Box Office in the
Kansas Union. Tickets are $3 with
a Student Saver Card and $5 with
a KUID.

Get off to a good start. Its a
phrase that echoes through stu-
dents ears freshmen especially
during the first month of school.
Between trying to memorize bus
schedules, drafting roommate con-
tracts, balancing a social schedule
and starting life as an actual col-
lege student, the topic of academic
success can sometimes get lost in
the shuffle. Fortunately, there are
several outlets specifically to help
freshmen to stay on top of their
game in class.
For these students, it can feel
like info about KU organizations,
volunteering and employment is
being thrown at them every direc-
tion they turn. I know where to go
for my club meeting on Tuesday,
they might think, but where can I
go for academic concerns?
Last Wednesday, the Mount
Oread Scholars (MOS) program
hosted an academic success semi-
nar called Keeping Your As.
According to the Mount Oread
Scholars mission, MOS is a high-
ability freshman program that sup-
ports engaged students and fosters
empowered communities.
The seminar was intended to
offer tips on how to bridge the
gap between being successful in
high school and staying successful
in college. Scholars who attended
the event received handouts with
helpful information and had their
questions answered by a panel of
upperclassmen who were previous
Mount Oread Scholars.
It mostly reiterated points that
my siblings told me, but it was
good to hear other perspectives,
Brittany Sawtelle, MOS freshman,
said of the seminar.
Sawtelle said that her main aca-
demic concern this year is fall-
ing behind in her schoolwork.
However, she has set goals to
help her focus on keeping current
with classes.
[I want to] learn as much as
I can, Sawtelle said. Thats why
were here. Also, to not fall behind
in my work and to just get through
the semester.
Another Mount Oread Scholar,
Andrew McGrew, felt the student
panel was helpful in giving advice.
It was better having someone
closer to my age to get an unbiased
opinion, McGrew said.
One topic stressed by the stu-
dents on the panel was visiting
teachers during their office hours
in order to get questions answered
and to develop a relationship with
them.
I gathered good info about
keeping good grades and the
importance of getting to know my
professors, McGrew said.
McGrew said he was planning
to visit his professors before the
seminar, but he said that attend-
ing the seminar gave him more
confidence when he went to talk
to them last week.
The Academic Achievement
Access Center (AAAC) is one
place to consider when address-
ing academic concerns. The AAAC
offers academic support with small
group tutoring in many first-year,
entry-level courses and individual
consultations that are tailored to
specific needs, such as better time
management or better note-taking
skills.
Getting academic support is
critical to success, said Maryann
Rasnak, director of the AAAC.
The transition, adjustments and
differences in demands from high
school to college, juggling those
responsibilities and the pressure to
feel like youre doing your best
that can be extremely stressful, so
we help [students] to balance those
things.
Students can meet with repre-
sentatives from the AAAC one
time, once a week, on a regular
basis or just whenever they need
the extra help.
Alongside the academic support,
the AAAC helps students to get
connected within KU, whether it is
to clubs, organizations, advising or
career resources.
This university has an incred-
ible number of services. We take
pride in helping [students] con-
nect, Rasnak said. We do a great
deal of connecting and helping stu-
dents develop so that they have a
lifeline.
No matter the request or the
interest, the AAAC is dedicated
to becoming that lifeline for stu-
dents to depend on when they
need help.
Our motto used to be: any
student, any question, any time,
Rasnak said. Well do whatever
we can do to help that student feel
connected.
The AAAC will be partner-
ing with the Writing Center to
host a workshop, Planning Your
Semester Now, today at 12:30 p.m.
in Anschutz Library, room 421.
The focus of this workshop is how
to create schedules to plan ahead,
use academic resources and use
different tools to be academically
successful.
Rasnak said the upcoming work-
shop would focus an a few main
questions.
What is the big picture? What
do you have to do this semester?
What do you have to do this week,
and what do I have to do today?
Well show them a variety of ways
to do that, Rasnak said.
The AAAC is located in the first
floor of Strong Hall and is open
from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday
through Friday. To schedule an
appointment, students can visit
the offices, contact via email at

TELLURIDE, Colo. _ Two years
ago, a prominent Oscar voter left
the Telluride Film Festivals world
premiere screening of The Kings
Speech and said with certainty that
the film would be shortlisted for
best picture. At the festival this past
weekend, that same voter issued
a new prediction: Ben Afflecks
Argo will be among the finalists
for the top Academy Award.
The Telluride festival, which
concluded its 39th annual install-
ment on Monday, prides itself on
eccentric programming (among
the offerings was the nearly three-
hour Russian film Stalker from
1979) and against-the-grain trib-
utes (the 2012 actor award went
to Denmarks Mads Mikkelsen).
But in recent years the Labor Day
weekend gathering has become
something of a herald of awards
season success.
In addition to booking the best
picture winner Kings Speech,
Telluride programmers over the
last few festivals have scheduled
the world or North American pre-
mieres of Slumdog Millionaire,
The Artist, The Descendants,
Black Swan and A Separation,
all of which either won or were
nominated for prominent Academy
Awards.
Its a record the festival feels con-
flicted about, as Telluride officials
would rather their lineup be more
focused on surprises than trophies.
I worry about the time when we
dont have 25 Oscar nominations
for films playing at the festival,
said Gary Meyer, who with Tom
Luddy and Julie Huntsinger directs
the festival. Its not our purpose
in life.
In this years schedule, the
programmers partially may have
achieved their desire. Though
Argo, a story about the 1980 res-
cue of State Department employees
hiding in Iran during the hostage
crisis, will leave the mountain resort
town with tremendous momentum
heading into its Oct. 12 release, the
festival did not clarify a clouded
awards picture.
In large measure, thats a reflec-
tion of the movies Telluride couldnt
play, mostly because they werent
finished. Meyer said the festival
would have loved to consider
Ang Lees Life of Pi and Steven
Spielbergs Lincoln, but neither
film was completed, the same as
with Sacha Gervasis Hitchcock,
which hasnt yet been added to the
2012 release calendar.
Concerned that the makers of
Paul Thomas Andersons The
Master had held too many sneak
previews around the country,
Telluride programmers declined
to invite that film, and they also
refused to book the sex surrogate
story The Sessions, which had
played in Januarys Sundance Film
Festival.

Beaming with confidence, the
Kansas defense is in high spirits
after creating five turnovers in last
Saturdays win. But the Jayhawks
know they have a greater task
ahead when they host Rice on
Saturday.
Rices offensive line has a hefty
left side. Sophomore left guard Ian
Gray stands 6-foot-8, and beside
him is junior tackle Jon Hodde at
6-foot-7. The Jayhawks defense is
presented with literally a big-
ger challenge before them.
Its a different size offensive
line, said Toben Opurum, senior
defensive end and captain. This
team is more of a zone-blocking
team, and they kind of move more
laterally, wanting to create bigger
space for their backs. Its just a
different style, and youve got to
be able to adjust week in and week
out with these different teams that
you play.
The Jayhawks defensive line
managed to create problems for
South Dakota State quarterbacks
Eric Kline and Austin Sumner last
week. The defense studied game
film on Rices junior quarterback
Taylor McHargue, who could cre-
ate some trouble for Kansas.
In the loss against UCLA last
week, McHargue threw the ball
28 times and scrambled 22 times.
McHargues rushing numbers were
higher than the running backs for
Rice. He took advantage of the size
and muscle Rices offensive line
provided for him by scrambling
behind them to gain most of his
yards on the ground.
Kansas must stop him from
advancing the ball on his own by
keeping him in the pocket this
Saturday.
Hes a good athlete, said Josh
Williams, senior defensive end.
The biggest thing is going to
be that hes a scrambler. But we
have to contain him and be fun-
damentally sound in our rush
lanes and do things that we are
supposed to do.
Kansas defensive coordinator
Dave Campo was pleased with
the effort his players showed last
week. He believes Rice will bring
the best offense that his defense
will see before conference play gets
underway in two weeks.
I think theyre a good football
team, Campo said. They can be
explosive. Thats the type of team
we are going to face every week.
For us, this is a really good chal-
lenge, a good test, and well kind of
see where we are at after this ball
game in my opinion defensively.
With a versatile quarterback
like McHargue, Campo is prepar-
ing his defense to be ready for
their quarterback to do anything
at any time.
Kansas must find a way to pro-
vide a pass rush, which will be key
in limiting McHargue.
I think we are still continuing
to do a few different things to help
the pass rush, Campo said. If we
can get to guys with a four-man
rush, thats what were going to do.
I think we have some guys that
have some talent, and we just have
to utilize it.
Campo and his players are con-
fident that their defense can make
strides this week when they go up
against McHargue and the Rice
offense. As athletic and fast as
McHargue is, Campo knows if his
players do their jobs correctly, it
will be hard for Rice to move the
football on the Jayhawks defense.
I think we just have to make
sure that we take care of our lane
of responsibility, Campo said. In
the running game, weve got to
have good gap control and make
sure whose got the quarterback
and the pitch if they run an option.
We have to make sure our lane
integrity is good. We have to play
with a lot of zone eyes and see
when he takes off.

The offseason hype surrounding
Kansas quarterback Dayne Crist
was larger than any Kansas recruit
in years. The former five-star high
school recruit had graduated from
Notre Dame and was looking for
a fresh start with Charlie Weis,
the coach who recruited him in
2009 but never coached him for an
entire season.
Crist battled knee injuries at
Notre Dame and was benched at
halftime of the season-opener last
year, struggling to find the field
the rest of the season. The chance
for Crist to start and start for
the coach who originally recruit-
ed him was too tempting. He
arrived in Lawrence with the task
of rejuvenating a team coming off a
historically bad season and starting
from square one with new faces all
around the program.
In his debut against South
Dakota State last Saturday, nerves
seemed to rule the day for Crist,
who overthrew open targets and
never looked completely comfort-
able in the pocket.
I think there were just a lot of
throws that I left on the field, Crist
said at Tuesdays press conference.
He finished with 169 yards on
17-36 passing, adding a touchdown
and an interception against an
overmatched Jackrabbits defense.
He was bailed out a few times
against that defense as well, mak-
ing a few throws that would have
surely been intercepted by Big 12
defenses and probably taken back
for six points.
Crist noted a lack of efficiency
with the offense, and its something
he said he wants to improve head-
ing into Saturday afternoon against
Rice.
The Owls struggled against
UCLA last week, giving up 49
points and 303 passing yards to
the Bruins, but theyre a consider-
able step up in talent from South
Dakota State.
They have a lot more speed,
Crist said of the Rice defense.
Great chemistry between a new
quarterback and his wide receivers
is a rarity, and the miscues in week
one shouldnt surprise anyone. But
as the season moves forward and
the level of competition increases,
fans should hope that offensive
struggles were just early-season
struggles and not something worse,
like the possibility that the for-
mer All-Star recruit isnt all he was
cracked up to be.
For me it was all about accu-
racy, Crist said. I am much
more accurate than the way that I
played.
Coach Weis said he didnt think
Crist was pressing and didnt think
he was nervous at all in his debut
last Saturday. But like Crist, Weis
thinks his starting quarterback has
plenty to improve on going into
Saturday. And if Kansas fans have
any dreams of drastic improve-
ments this season, improvements
from Crist are a must.
Im always striving to be as
close to perfection as possible,
Crist said. I was very far from
it on Saturday, and Im going to
do everything in my power to do
better.

During the humid Kansas sum-
mer nights, it was easy for Sheahon
Zenger to get lost in Little League
baseball games. With his family by
his side and his sons in the field, the
weight of a university would fade
away for a while at least.
It wouldnt take long for a
Jayhawks fan to recognize the
athletic director in the stands and
strike up a conversation.
Just when you think youve kind
of escaped it, youre right back to
talking about football, Zenger said,
but hes not bothered by it. Maybe
Im becoming too one-dimension-
al, but Id just as soon talk about
that as anything else.
Its a different conversation
than the ones Zenger was having
with Kansas fans in the previous
months. Theres a new tone, a mix
of optimism and excitement, hope
and wonder, and for the first time
since the 2008 Orange Bowl season,
pride in Jayhawks football.
The casual conversations in the
bleachers served as reminders that
Kansas fans are eager for this sea-
son. Its also a reminder of what
constantly fills Zenger and what
watching his sons play baseball is
supposed to melt away: pressure.
By bringing in a new staff and
players from pastures Kansas never
could graze before, first-year coach
Charlie Weis has assembled foot-
balls version of Dr. Frankensteins
monster, which makes Zenger
the equivalent of Mary Shelly. No
matter what happens in the Weis
experiment, Zengers name will for-
ever be associated with it.
I just want to see the people
of the University of Kansas proud
each and every day. Zenger said.
Thats a burden that I carry daily.
At the time it felt like an eternity,
but when Zenger remembers his
first full year on the job, he said it
all happened in a blink: staving off
conference realignment, firing and
hiring a football coach, watching
both basketball teams in lengthy
tournament runs and rooting
for a handful of Jayhawks in the
Olympics.
I look back and Im as grateful
as one can be in a situation like
that, Zenger said. What it did was
really expedite my growth experi-
ence here as director of athletics,
not just at the University of Kansas
but also within our conference.
Even after hiring Weis the
turning point in an uneasy period
for Kansas athletics the pressure
only grew. From the moment Weis
pen met Kansas stationery, Weis
and Zenger began spending count-
less hours together, but Zenger
wasnt cozy right away.
Ive been around him quite a
bit since he was hired, and in the
first few months it was more in
an administrative nature, Zenger
said. Youre talking about ways
in which youre going to enhance
the program, about recruiting,
about staffing, that type of thing.
Along with the stress that came
in hiring a big name coach, there
was the speculation that accompa-
nied it.
While searching for Turner Gills
replacement, Zenger often thought
what this hire would feel like in
six months. In eight months? Will
the players perform better on the
field? Can this new coach get play-
ers to act accordingly off of it? The
answers are beginning to material-
ize.
The players came back from
summer stronger and are doing
better in the classroom, thus look-
ing more like the team Jayhawk fans
have longed for. Its all helped ease
the pressure on Zenger, but there
are still games to be played, putting
the stress back at full strength.
Throughout his four years as
the assistant head coach at the
University of Wyoming, Sheahon
Zenger was big on repetition. It
helped calm the nerves that came
with game days.
Ive found that routine and rep-
etition is the one thing that subsides
that anxiety, Zenger said. Because
its something you do every day,
when youre done with it you feel
prepared.
As an administrator, his rou-
tine has changed. Instead of watch-
ing warm-ups, Zenger has small
talk with stakeholders. Instead of
checking his game plan, he now
takes pictures with alumni. Instead
of giving a pep talk, he checks on
the students.
To make up for it, Charlie Weis
started a new routine for only him
and the athletic director.
I specifically invited him to
join me every Monday over in my
office, Weis said. I can keep him
up to speed on everything thats
happening: tell him how we played,
who played well, who didnt play
well, mental errors, whine a little bit
and complain about the election.
My job is to figure out what
were going to eat, Zenger joked.
Its more of a free-flowing conver-
sation. Ill let him begin with his
analysis of the previous game and
then shift to his preparation for
the next game. As a former coach,
Ill enjoy that at a level that others
might not.
The weekly meetings help
keep Zenger close to his experi-
ment without overstepping any
boundaries.
Even as Weis explains the situa-
tion with the team, Zenger is only
there to help him as an admin-
istrator, not a coach. The weekly
chats should ease the athletic direc-
tors tensions while giving Weis an
opportunity to use his staff and
Zenger to collect resources benefi-
cial to the team.
Thats something that Im
not sure that every coach would
welcome, and he certainly does,
Zenger said. Often your inter-
action with the coach is through
other group meetings or when
youre together at practice just
briefly because you dont want to
distract him during that time.

Te Kansas Jayhawks will host a
home tournament for the second
weekend in a row when they play
the College of Charleston, Arizona
State and Wyoming in the Jayhawk
Invitational at the Horejsi Family
Athletics Center.
Te Jayhawks begin play Friday
at 11:30 a.m. against the College of
Charleston Cougars, who went 25-
10 in 2011, including 14-2 in the
Southern Conference.
Te Cougars feature redshirt ju-
nior outside hitter Darcy Dorton,
who transferred to Charleston afer
winning a national championship
with Penn State.
Teyve got a Penn State trans-
fer that played on a national cham-
pionship team, coach Ray Bechard
said. Teyve got a great middle in
Sloane White. So theres not a lot of
name recognition there, but a very
very good volleyball program.
Afer Charleston, the Jayhawks
play Arizona State Friday at 7:30
p.m. Te Sun Devils enter the Invi-
tational with a 6-0 record.
It will be the second major con-
ference opponent the Jayhawks
have faced so far, having lost to Ar-
kansas in the fnal of the Arkansas
Invitational.
Kansas will fnish the Jayhawk
Invitational Saturday at 6:30 p.m.
against Wyoming, which is 8-0 en-
tering the tournament. Te Moun-
tain West Conference coaches
selected senior outside hitter Jodi
Purdy as the conferences preseason
co-player of the year.
Junior defensive specialist Bri-
anne Riley said the key for the
weekend was executing their serves
and passes.
We can always improve on ev-
erything, but we always talk about
serve and pass, Riley said. Tats
our main thing, staying aggressive
on our serving, and if we pass well,
then well play well.
When the tournament fnishes
Saturday, the Jayhawks will have
played seven matches in nine days,
all at home. Being physically rest-
ed is key for this weekend, junior
Caroline Jarmoc said, but the team
must be constantly preparing men-
tally for the tournament.
I think being rested going into
the weekend, and just also con-
stantly thinking about driving and
outworking the other team, because
when the middles drive and work
hard, it alleviates all the pressure of
the pins to perform, Jarmoc said.
She also said the team focused
last weekend on controlling their
frst contact and that it would be
important again this weekend, es-
pecially against Charleston.
Coach (Bechard) said that
theyre going to be a really tough
opponent, but mostly that its go-
ing to be controlling our side with
the frst contact and being aggres-
sive on ofense and defense as well,
Jarmoc said.

The heat wave has been pre-
dicted to pass in favor of cooler,
autumn-like breezes just in time
for the Jayhawks to go head-to-
head against two more non-con-
ference teams this weekend at
the Jayhawk Soccer Complex.
The Jayhawks are coming
off their first tie of the season
against Arizona State this past
weekend. The team was sluggish
to start off the game, allowing
ASU to control possession for
most of the first half. Kansas
managed to snag the lead on a
first-half goal from freshman
forward Ashley Williams.
Senior goalkeeper Kat Liebe-
trau continued to play strong,
earning five saves in the game.
Despite gaining an early advan-
tage, the Jayhawks could not
stop Arizona State from scor-
ing twice in the second half. The
goals were both scored through
set pieces the first goal being
set up by a corner kick and the
second a free kick the validity
of the free kick sparking contro-
versy from the Kansas bench.
Well, I think the two goals
we gave up, one of them the
free kick the goalkeeper ob-
viously got fouled but nothing
was called, coach Mark Francis
said.
The Jayhawks managed to tie
the game through the creativ-
ity and persistence of senior
forward/midfielder Whitney
Berrys 83rd minute goal. The
team does not plan to linger on
the second-half setback against
Arizona State, with two more
opponents travel into Lawrence
this weekend.
Obviously we want to win,
freshman forward Courtney
Dickerson said. We want to
continue to get better and keep
pulling off the win, keep play-
ing as a team and keep progress-
ing. Every position has a certain
thing to work on, so we all just
want to continually get better.
The Jayhawks will first host
the Bears from Missouri State
this Friday. The Bears finished
last season with a 12-5-2 record,
reaching the MVC Tournament
for the second season in a row.
The team lost a strong senior
class last year and has 13 new
faces on this years squad.
So far, the Bears have managed
to gain a 3-4 record this season.
They defeated Oral Roberts 3-1
last Sunday, earning their first
road victory. Kansas has honed
in on the Bears and plan to use
its talent to stop Missouri State
from starting a road winning
streak.
We have specifics we want to
work on against Missouri State,
especially defensively, so we can
break them down defensively,
Francis said.
Kansas will challenge North
Carolina State on Sunday after-
noon. The Wolfpack have ob-
tained a winning record of 4-2
this season and are currently
on a four-game winning streak,
including two straight shutouts.
They face Appalachian State
Friday before they travel to Law-
rence to face the Jayhawks. The
Wolfpack return six starters, in-
cluding two defenders and four
midfielders, and 17 players over-
all from last season; a team that
accomplished a 10-8-2 record.
Kansas has had a strong start
this year, with their plethora
of returns showing leadership
and guidance to the impressive
freshman class that has gotten
into the groove of playing in
Division 1 competition early.
The team continues to play with
confidence and effort and does
not plan to stop that trend this
weekend.
Kansas will test themselves
against Missouri State this Fri-
day at 5 p.m. before taking on
North Carolina State Sunday at
noon.

ts here. Te NFL season has ofcial-
ly begun, but you may notice those
replacement referees are still there.
In June, the NFL ofcially locked out
the leagues referees afer failing to reach a
deal in time on a new collective bargain-
ing agreement. According to the NFL, the
two parties started negotiating in October
of 2011, with the two parties far apart on
fnancial issues.
Under the current agreement, NFL ref-
erees make an average of $149,000 for the
full slate of preseason and regular season
games. Te NFL has said it ofered the of-
fcials a raise of between 5 percent and 11
percent depending on experience. How-
ever, the NFL Referees Association said
the current talks do not include this raise
in salary.
To me, this bickering is ridiculous and
a shame. Te referees are the best in the
world, and while they make errors, never
do they make the errors these replacements
have made during the preseason. Each side
is blaming the other for not getting a deal
done, and it seems the NFL is ready to use
the replacements for the entire season.
Whether you believe it or not, these ref-
erees have just as big an impact on a game
as any single player and deserve to be com-
pensated fairly for the job they do.
If you watched any preseason games this
year, it is clear the replacement referees just
cant control the game like the NFL refer-
ees. While it is easy to blame the replace-
ment refs, you need to understand most of
these guys are from Division II football or
even the Lingerie Football League. Yeah,
you read that correctly: the Lingerie Foot-
ball League.
Some blunders have been comical, but
what will happen in the regular season
when a clear bad call determines the out-
come of a game? Some of the blunders seem
to be unbelievable. When Washington took
on Bufalo and the ball was downed on the
4-yard line afer a punt, one would wonder
how they could mess up the location of the
ball. Te ref decided it was a touchback de-
spite the ball never coming close to the end
zone, and afer placing the ball at the 20-
yard line, Bufalo had to challenge the call
to get it correct. Tis is probably the most
egregious call made during the preseason
and shows that the possibilities are endless
during the regular season.
While many errors were made in past
regular season games, most were not com-
mon-sense calls. Te biggest diference be-
tween these replacement refs and the nor-
mal crews could be on pass-interference
calls. Tis is probably the most difcult call
in the game because of the constant contact
between receivers and defensive backs.
Te NFL is the most popular sport in
America and makes more money than
most of us can dream of, so how can they
not aford to give the referees the compen-
sation they deserve?
Tese early blunders have only brought a
larger microscope over all the replacement
referees. Te leading story heading into
the opening weekend will be the efective-
ness of these replacements, and I only can
hope they have a perfect opening weekend.
Football is back, though, so just sit back
and hope your team isnt on the wrong end
of a refereeing blunder.

the UNIVeRSItY DAILY KANSAN thURSDAY, SePteMBeR 6, 2012 PAGe 6B
A constant positive factor on the
pitch, senior forward/midfelder
Whitney Berry has made her face
and name known amongst oppo-
nents and the home crowd alike as
an energetic, talented soccer player
who is driven to win.
Kansas just came of a less than
favorable outcome against the Ari-
zona State Sun Devils, drawing 2-2
even afer playing two extra periods
of overtime. Berry saved the team
from an even less-desired outcome,
scoring in the 85th minute with an
assist from fellow senior midfelder
Amy Grow, tieing the match to its f-
nal tally. Kansas gained their frst tie
of the season, bringing their record
to 4-1-1, but their goal overall has
not changed, as they host two more
teams this weekend.
Our goal is to win, Berry said. I
think that is always the goal. I mean,
to play better than I played last
weekend and the team to play better
than we did last weekend.
Even though only six games have
passed, Berry has shown no mercy
to opponents, always being a pres-
ence on the feld, whether it is cre-
ating chances, providing plays or
gaining goals. She has started every
game, both scoring and assisting
two goals. Shes had almost 50 per-
cent of her shots on target, always
forcing the goalkeeper to stay on
their toes.
Not only is she an ofensive pres-
ence, but she is also an inspiration
to her teammates, constantly keep-
ing everyone energized and focused
with her relentless style of play and
energy. Berry claims it is a natural
reaction while she is playing.
I think Ive always had that men-
tality, but I think a lot of it is just the
run of the play, Berry said. When
something happens, itll fre you up
a little bit more, and it keeps you go-
ing.
Berry has played soccer since she
was only fve years old. She has a lot
of experience underneath her cleats,
playing for numerous club teams
and Goddards high school team be-
fore dawning the Crimson and Blue
four years ago. She doesnt want to
stop there, though, hoping one day
to play on the professional stage. She
also hasnt forgotten what made her
frst love playing this rigorous sport
so much.
My favorite part is the intensity
and the adrenaline rush that I get
while playing, Berry said.
With so much experience, and
so much positive recognition and
crucial attributions already this
season, it may be hard for fans to
fathom Berry needing to improve
on anything. But a true, dedicated
player always recognizes the room
for improvement and always strives
to be better than they were a game
before. Berry is exactly that, as she
admits she still wants to grow and
harness her talent to its very limits.
Defensively, I would love to im-
prove, because Im such an attack-
ing-minded player that sometimes I
lose sight of the defensive side of it,
Berry said.
While soccer has always been a
prominent part of her life, it isnt the
only thing important to her. Hailing
from Wichita, Berry is beginning the
victory lap of her schooling career, a
senior who is a community health
major. With her time-consuming
commitments between school and
soccer, Berrys response to what she
does in her free time should not
come as a surprise to anyone.
I love to sleep. Its something I
love to do when I have time to do it,
Berry said with a laugh.
Berry will continue to have the
chance to lead her team hopefully to
another pair of victories this week-
end, when the Jayhawks face Mis-
souri State and North Carolina State
on Friday and Sunday.

As a coach, anxiety always filled
Zenger on game day. It would nestle
in his abdomen, making butterflies
feel like bees.
My stomach wouldnt settle
down until the middle of the sec-
ond quarter, Zenger said. That
has continued the rest of my life,
no matter what game it is. I wish I
could get rid of that anxiety, but its
always there.
Baseball was key in settling
Zengers nerves this summer, but
his kids seasons are over. Instead,
Zenger will watch his children play
football. Each day of the weekend
will include a game. Lawrence High
School varsity on Friday nights,
junior varsity and Jayhawks foot-
ball on Saturdays and Little League
on Sundays with his daughters
volleyball games sprinkled in, too.
Yet no matter the amount of
pressure on Zengers shoulders
when it comes to Kansas football,
all he can do is stand back and wait
for his next opportunity to help the
experiment succeed.
Any good administrator will
tell you that you have absolutely
no control over anything that hap-
pens on that field; you become
useless at some point, Zenger said.
Thats the part thats hard at times,
because now you realize you dont
have much control.

Forward/midfelder Whitney Berry charges downfeld toward a Uc Santa Barbara defender in the Jayhawks opening game. The
Jayhawks won the game 2-1 in overtime.
TORONTO Rookie Adeiny
Hechavarria drove in the go-ahead
run with a bunt single, Rajai Davis
homered and had three RBIs and
the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Bal-
timore Orioles 6-4 on Wednesday
night to avoid a three-game sweep.
Steve Delabar (4-1) worked one
inning of relief for the win as the
Blue Jays snapped a four-game
slide and ended Baltimores win-
ning streak at three.
Adam Jones hit a solo home run
and Mark Reynolds added a two-
run drive of Casey Janssen in the
ninth, his sixth in six games and
18th of the season, but it wasnt
enough for Baltimore.
Te Orioles return home Turs-
day for a pivotal seven-game home-
stand that begins with four against
the New York Yankees, followed
by three against Tampa Bay. Te
three teams were separated by 1 1/2
games atop the AL East entering
play Wednesday.
Adam Jones got the Orioles on
the board with a leadof homer
in the second, his 27th. Blue Jays
right-hander Brandon Morrow
loaded the bases by walking three
of the next four batters before
Manny Machado made it 2-0 with
an RBI groundout.
Toronto sliced the defcit in half
on Kelly Johnsons RBI double in
the bottom half, then tied it in the
third when Davis hit a one-out
homer to lef, his seventh.
Yunel Escobar led of the seventh
with a broken bat double to lef and
moved to third on Johnsons bunt
single. Yorvit Torrealba fouled out
before Hechavarria dropped down
a safety squeeze. Right-hander
Miguel Gonzalez charged and tried
to scoop the ball to the plate with
his glove, but it rolled past Matt
Wieters as Escobar slid safely home,
giving the Blue Jays their frst lead
in September.
Luis Ayala came on to face An-
thony Gose, who loaded the bases
with a single under the glove of
shortstop J.J. Hardy. Davis followed
with a two-run single to center,
with Gose making it 6-2 on Jones
throwing error.
Gonzalez (6-4) gave up fve runs,
four earned, and seven hits in 6
1-3 innings. He walked none and
struck out four.
Machado hit a leadof single in
the eighth, chasing Delabar, and
Darren Oliver issued a one-out
walk to Hardy. Lew Ford pinch hit
for Nate McLouth and narrowly
missed a double when his fy ball
down the lef feld line fell just
foul, with manager Buck Showalter
coming out to argue with third base
umpire Laz Diaz. Two pitches later,
Ford grounded into an inning-end-
ing double play.
Morrow allowed two runs and
three hits in six innings. He walked
three and struck out six.

DEFENSE
DEFENSE
The Jayhawks are looking to correct a passing game that went 17-36 against
South Dakota State. Quarterback Dayne Crist passed for 169 yards in a lackluster
debut, as the run game did the heavy lifting for the offense. Both Tony Pierson and
Taylor Cox gained 100-plus yards last week and will be relied on again.
The right side of the line is Rices biggest strength on offense. Jon Hodde is 6-foot-7
and weighs 305 pounds. Ian Gray stands at 6-foot-8 and weighs 325 pounds. Expect
Charles Ross to run the ball behind Hodde and Gray. The Owls offense will provide
some lanes for Ross, giving him the space he needs to break free. The concerns sur-
round junior quarterback Taylor McHargue. His consistency was an issue in 2011 and
has carried over to this season, but he connected with Sam McGuffe eight times last
week and will look for him early and often again this Saturday.
Kansas forced fve turnovers against the Jackrabbits, but cant rely on that
against stronger teams. Defensive coordinator Dave Campo will need a better
showing from his line. Kansas gave up over 200 yards both in the air and on the
ground on Saturday.
Rice is looking to do what South Dakota State did last week against Kansas
and hope to exploit their weaknesses. Cameron Nwosu led the Owls in tackles
last year and is already off to a solid start this season with nine tackles and an
interception. Nwosu is a key part of the nickel defense that the Owls run. Rice will
run a 4-2-5 base formation, with four down linemen, two linebackers, and fve
defensive backs. Their defense will be the key, if they seek to pull off an upset.
Kansas did enough to earn a win
against SDSU, but will need better
execution against Rice to stay un-
defeated. The Jackrabbits 99-yard
touchdown run occurred because one
defender was out of position on the
play. The offense struggled because
senior quarterback Dayne Crist over-
threw his receivers and some of the
receivers admitted to running incor-
rect routes. The Jayhawks want to
correct the mental mistakes and force
Rice to stop them.
Rices offense is built around
their quarterback, junior Taylor McH-
argue. McHargue threw 28 passes
and scrambled 22 times last week
against UCLA. Despite his position,
he still led the team in rushes, yards
and touchdowns on the ground last
Saturday. Defensively, the Owls dont
have many playmakers who can make
a difference on the feld. Their defense
was disappointed after letting UCLA
walk on them the entire game.
AT A GLANCE
AT A GLANCE
Charlie Weis gave Dayne Crists
performance last week a grade
that Crist would be embarrassed
to take home. Crist graded himself
even harder. Anxiety and rust may
have gotten to him in the Jayhawks
opener, but it will be hard to use
that excuse two weeks in a row.
WR Sam McGuffe McGuffe was
Taylor McHargues top receiver last
week, pulling in eight catches against
UCLA. McGuffe was a highly touted
recruit that spent his freshman year
at Michigan before transferring to
Rice. The Owls offense is still trying
to come together, but McHargue and
McGuffe have a chemistry on the
team that could spark the offense
against the Jayhawks.
PLAYER To WATCH
PLAYER To WATCH
Dave Campos defense will be
facing a much bigger offensive line
on Rice than they did against SDSU.
Multiple players over 6-foot-6, and
300 pounds protect Owl quarterback
Taylor McHargue. Campo will need to
come up with a way to get through
the line and put pressure on their
quarterback to avoid getting burned
in the passing game.
David Bailiff is in his 6th sea-
son as the head coach of Rice and
has a 17-30 record since joining
the team in 2007. He served as
the Texas State coach from 2004
to 2006. Before earning a head
coaching gig, he spent three years
as the defensive coordinator of
TCU before becoming the defen-
sive coordinator of Southwest
Texas State for four years.

BABY jAY WILL CHEER IF ...
Ron Doherty has been solid with his punts, but coach Charlie Weis would
still like someone to take over on kickoffs. This week Weis added freshman Nick
Prolago to the depth chart to try and slip him into the role. After Rice blocked
UCLA on three PATs, Weis also made an emphasis to get the ball high in the air
on feld goals.
The Jayhawks are riding the wave
of their frst win in almost a full cal-
endar year and the fan support is on
board with them. More than 46,000
fans packed Memorial Stadium last
saturday and the excitement contin-
ues to build. On the feld, running
backs Tony Pierson and Taylor Cox
are looking to follow up their 100-
yard games and continue being the
foundation of the offense.

qUESTIoN MARKS
qUESTIoN MARKS
Kansas makes it two consecutive
weeks with a victory. Its still too early to
paint this team one way or another, but
as long as the Jayhawks keep winning it
wont matter. There are still kinks to be
worked out on all sides of the ball, but
as Charlie Weis said, its easier to coach
a team thats winning.
The Owls defense stops the Jayhawks of-
fense. Kansas left many points on the feld
early in the game and allowed the Jackrabbits
to keep it close in the frst half. Defensive ends
Cody Bauer and Jared Williams must invade
the pocket and force Dayne Crist to throw ill-
advised passes into the Owls secondary.
Junior kicker Chris Boswell is off to a rocky start after going 17-of-21 feld
goals last year. Boswell made a 53-yard feld goal, but missed a 43-yard at-
tempt later in the game against UCLA last week. The Owls know that Kansas
did a good job of stopping South Dakota States offense last week and that the
same thing could happen to them. If so, Boswell will have to be ready to help
the Owls get on the scoreboard as much as possible.
SPECIAL TEAMS
SPECIAL TEAMS
Rice fnished 2011 with a 4-8
record and are starting off the sea-
son on a weak note. However, their
offense, win or lose, has found a
way to score. Since the start of the
2011 season, the Owls have scored
at least 20 points in 11 of their last
13 contests. Bailiff knows what to
expect out of his offense, which
has performed at a high level each
game.

BABY jAY WILL WEEP IF ...

Can Rices defense limit their opponents after a poor performance
last week?
Rices loss to UCLA in Week 1 was a frustrating one for the Owls defense.
They gave up 35 points in the frst half, as UCLA went on to score 49 points.
Rices offense managed play above average, but they received no help from
their defense throughout the game. Rice can move the football offensively,
but its defense must learn to create turnovers and stop the Jayhawks of-
fense to give their team a chance at winning.

Will Weis utilize both sides in the run game?
Against South Dakota State, Charlie Weis called the majority of the run
plays to the left side. Weis liked the combination of experienced of the left
side of the line and used that to his advantage. Rice, undoubtedly, knows
this by now. Will Weis keep the run game productive on the left? Or will he
place his trust in the the right side of the line and alternate run plays to
both sides throughout the game?

the UNIVeRSItY DAILY KANSAN thURSDAY, SePteMBeR 6, 2012 PAGe 8B
The most rookie quarterbacks
to ever debut in a NFL season
opener was three, and that was
back in the 1960s. This year it
has been announced that five
rookie quarterbacks will get the
starting job for their given teams.
In the past, coaches and man-
agement believed that rookie
quarterbacks couldnt just come
straight into the league out of
college and start. This method
has changed lately with the suc-
cess of Cam Newton and Andy
Dalton last year. This leaves the
question: If a quarterback dem-
onstrates talent out of college,
understands the new system and
is able to read defenses, why not
start the rookie?
Here are tHe five rookies
tHat are going to start
tHis year:
1. Andrew Luck (Indianapolis
Colts) Luck has been one
of the most talked about quar-
terback in the last decade and
has sky-high potential. Luck was
taken by the Colts as the first
overall pick in this years 2012
draft. He replaces the legacy of
the great Peyton Manning as
he tries to build his own legacy
now. It should take some time
for Luck and the Colts to rebuild
from last years disappointing
2-14 team, but Luck looks to
be the new face of the Colts,
and well see how hes developed
later down the road. Lucks first
game as a pro will be quite a test
as the Colts take on the Chicago
Bears this Sunday.
2. Robert Griffin III
(Washington Redskins) Griffin
won the Heisman last year, and
he is the player featured on mul-
tiple commercials this offsea-
son. He won the starting job for
the Redskins this year. Griffin
hopes to display all of his talents
as the Redskins take on the New
Orleans Saints this Sunday.
3. Russell Wilson (Seattle
Seahawks) Wilson, who
played his college ball at
Wisconsin, won the starting
job for the Seahawks this year.
Wilson is probably the biggest
underdog on this list because
not many believed he would earn
the starting role this year. Many
people thought Matt Flynn, who
got a 3-year, $26 million deal
this off-season, would get the
nod, but the undersized 5-foot-
11 Wilson outperformed Flynn.
Wilsons talents were overlooked
by many NFL teams as he fell
deep into the third round of the
2012 draft. In college Wilson
was unstoppable and looks to
be sharp at the next level, too.
In the preseason games, Wilson
has shown his versatility as he
was able to make plays with his
feet when a play broke down
and with his ability to throw
the ball with accuracy on the
run. The Seahawks first game is
this Sunday against the Arizona
Cardinals.
4. Brandon Weeden (Cleveland
Browns) The 28-year-old
Weeden will get the start for the
Cleveland Browns after beating
out Colt McCoy. Weeden, who
is from Oklahoma State, was
drafted by the Browns second
after taking Alabamas Trent
Richardson as the 3rd overall
pick. This look to be a rebuilding
year for the Browns, but hope-
fully Weeden and Richardson
will prove to be an effective duo
for years to come. Weeden and
the Browns kick off the season
this Sunday against the tough
Philadelphia Eagles.
5. Ryan Tannehill (Miami
Dolphins) Tannehill, who
came out of Texas A&M, looks
to lead a depleted Dolphins
team that had a 6-10 record
in 2011 and will most likely
have a worse record in 2012.
Tannehill will not have star
wide reciever Brandon Marshall,
who was traded to the Bears,
and the Dolphins recently cut
Chad Johnson. Tannehill will
most likely struggle in his first
year with a weak receiving core
and bad defense. Look for the
Dolphins to get blown out in
their first game of the season,
which is this Sunday against
the Houston Texans, who some
experts think could make the
Super Bowl this year.

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga.
Tony Gonzalezs phone blew up
as soon as the NFL schedule came
out.
Tere it was, for everyone to see
the very frst game of what he
expects will be his fnal season.
Gonzo is going home.
Te likely Hall of Famer, one
of the greatest tight ends in NFL
history, spent the frst 12 years of
his record-breaking career with
the Kansas City Chiefs. Come
Sunday, Gonzalez will be lining
up at Arrowhead Stadium as an
opponent, trying to lead his cur-
rent team, the Atlanta Falcons, to
a victory over the franchise where
he made his name.
But there will always be a big
part of him in Kansas City.
I guess it all worked out, Gon-
zalez said.
Indeed, theres a symmetry to
the schedule. Hes already said
this, his 16th season, will likely be
his last. Its only appropriate that
Gonzalez gets a proper send-of
from those who cheered him for
so long but didnt really have a
chance to say goodbye when he
was dealt to the Falcons in 2009.
Obviously, Ive been thinking
about it, Gonzalez said Wednes-
day. When the schedule frst
came out, obviously, it popped
out. Right then and there, my
phone lit up with everybody call-
ing me: my family, people that Im
still friends with from the orga-
nization, and the friends I made
while I was up in Kansas City. Its
going to be special.
And, he conceded, a little
weird. Tose guys in the home
locker room are now the ones hes
trying to beat. Hell be the one
wearing a visiting uniform.
Gonzalez has admittedly spent
a lot of time reminiscing about his
time with the Chiefs, focusing on
the good times. He remembered
his frst coach, Marty Schotten-
heimer. He thought about the
explosive 2003 team, coached
by Dick Vermeil, which won the
AFC West and scored more points
than any team in the league.
Ive been lucky enough to ac-
cumulate a bunch of really, really
good memories, Gonzalez said.
Its funny, because these are the
things you actually think about,
things I thought about when I
saw the schedule, and just looking
back on my career there, it was all
really memorable. Obviously, the
losing seasons, you try to forget
about those. But winning, thats
what really popped out to me. It
was just a great experience out
there.
Te only thing missing from
Gonzalezs record is a playof vic-
tory. Not even one. Tats largely
the reason he was traded by the
Chiefs, who were about to go
through another major rebuilding
job when they agreed to deal their
most notable player to a franchise
on the way up.
Still, even though the Falcons
have made the playofs the last
two years, Gonzalezs postseason
drought has carried on. Atlanta
was one-and-done both times,
adding an extra bit of urgency to
this season. He decided to come
back for one more try.
Tat was another reason that
went into me coming back for this
year, Gonzalez said. Tats the
goal. Tats my why for this year.
Tats the reason you go out there
and put it all on the line.
He truly believes this is the
team that can give him not only
his frst playof win, but a Super
Bowl ring to end his career on.
Weve got a really good football
team, theres no doubt about that,
Gonzalez said. Its not just false
chatter. Weve got a really, really
good team from top to bottom, of-
fensively and defensively. I realize
that we have an opportunity to go
to the playofs, win a playof game,
and thats what I want. Tats why
Ive been playing this game my
whole career, to hopefully get a
chance at that Super Bowl. I feel
like weve got as good a chance as
anybody.
Te Falcons realize this is a spe-
cial game for Gonzalez, but they
know he shares their bigger goal.
Tey expect all the sentimentality
to fade away as soon as the ball is
kicked of.
One thing Ive noticed about
Tony in the time hes been with us
is hes extremely consistent, Fal-
cons quarterback Matt Ryan said.
Week in and week out, he brings
his best game. I expect the same
from him. I expect what he nor-
mally brings to the game. Tis guy
has a pretty level head. Im sure
it will be diferent for him going
back there. But once we get out
there, Im sure hell let all those
things go to the side and just focus
on doing his job and trying to play
his position the best he can.
Teres hardly anyone lef from
Gonzalezs time in Kansas City.
Most of the roster has turned over.
Romeo Crennel is heading into
his frst full season as the coach.
But that doesnt lessen anyones
appreciation of what Gonzalez ac-
complished with the Chiefs.
He probably was the leading
edge of that transition to pass-
catching tight ends and being able
to fex them out and use them al-
most like a wide receiver, Cren-
nel said. To do that, youve got to
have that ability. Youve got to have
that tremendous ability: hand-eye
coordination, great hands, that
savvy about reading coverages
and knowing how to get open.
Tony has all of that.
Gonzalez kept his home in
Kansas City for a while, perhaps
thinking deep down he might re-
turn someday. He fnally sold it
last year.
Even so, he still has deep ties
to the community. His brother,
Vince, lives in Kansas City. So
does his cousin, Dennis, who took
over a cleaning business the player
once owned.
My ties are just the people,
Gonzalez said. Obviously, there
arent too many people on the
team or in the front ofce because
they came in there and cleaned
house afer I lef.
Arrowhead can be one of the
leagues most imposing stadiums
for a road team.
Gonzalez has tried to prepare
the Falcons for what theyll face.
Be prepared, he told them.
Youre going to hear the coolest
national anthem youve ever heard
at the end of it, when instead of
yelling Home of the Brave they
yell Home of the Chiefs. Afer
every frst down they yell Tats
another Chiefs frst down and the
whole crowd yells it. Teyre going
to be crazy.
Hes also got a message for the
people of Kansas City.
I would frst of all say thank
you, Gonzalez said. Te way
they accepted me, the way they
stuck with me throughout the
years, the appreciation that
theyve shown me. I want to give
it right back to them. Tey made
my time in Kansas City a wonder-
ful experience.
Crennel hopes the return wont
be quite as wonderful.
Jokingly, he said the Chiefs
hope to prevent the 6-foot-5
Gonzalez, who played basketball
in college, from doing one of his
signature moves afer a touch-
down dunking the ball over the
crossbar.
Ryan perked up when he heard
that.
I do want to see it!

Brewers beat down
Marlins 8-5
mIamI rickie Weeks homered
twice and drove in four runs to help
Wily Peralta win his frst major league
start and lead the surging milwaukee
brewers over the miami marlins 8-5
on Wednesday night.
Corey Hart also homered and drove
in four runs for milwaukee, which has
won 13 of 16 to climb within 6 1/2
games of st. louis for the second nl
wild card spot.
milwaukee (67-69) also trails the
los angeles Dodgers and Pittsburgh,
with atlanta currently on top of the
wild card standings.
Peralta (1-0) pitched six innings,
allowing three runs and fve hits. the
23-year old right-hander struck out
three and walked four.
Te University of Kansas jiu jitsu
club has 20 new faces this semes-
ter, including some who have never
practiced jiu jitsu before.
Te skill levels of the members of
the jiu jitsu club vary, ranging from
seasoned veterans with years of prac-
tice to beginners without any expo-
sure to the mixed martial arts sport.
Many of the club members joined
without any experience and ended
up loving it.
When I frst started, it was re-
ally rough because I was rolling with
guys who were a lot better than me,
said Andrew Johns, jiu jitsu club
president. You kind of get your ass
kicked for a while before you learn
what youre doing. I mean you have
to learn the hard way.
Johns said at the beginning that it
was difcult and he frequently lost,
but his fellow teammates helped him
learn from his mistakes.
His freshman year he competed in
a Chicago tournament and did well,
and that gave him more motivation
to keep practicing jiu jitsu. Johns has
now been practicing the sport for
nearly four years his entire college
career.
Jiu jitsu is a martial art based on
taking people to the ground. Te
sport is designed so the smaller per-
son has an advantage once taken to
the ground.
When describing the martial arts
sport, John explains jiu jitsu as the
part of Ultimate Fighting that takes
place on the ground.
Other members of the jiu jitsu club
compare it to physical chess. Jiu jitsu
is more than physical prowess, with
the smaller person ofen beating the
larger opponent. Chris Goessing, one
of the coaches for the jiu jitsu club,
weighs in at around 145 pounds.
It is more of a mental game than
the physical game, Goessing said. I
like the focus on technique and not
on strength because I am a smaller
guy, but bigger guys have fun with it
too.
With so many new members in
the jiu jitsu club, there were many
diferent reasons as to why people
joined the club, and each new mem-
ber joined with a diferent skill level.
I have always been interested in
MMA (Mixed Martial Arts), and I
have a black belt in taekwondo, and
I was a wrestler, freshman Tanner
Taylor said. Its kind of like a mix
of martial arts and wrestling, so I
thought it would be a good ft for
me.
Te jiu jitsu club is not just for
guys; there are four girls in the club.
One of the newest female members is
the club presidents sister.
Hearing my brother talk about it
is what really got me interested in the
club, freshman Katie Johns said.
But as far as being a girl, Katie said
she has never felt out of place practic-
ing with the guys and gets treated like
any other member of the club.
Te frst couple (of practices)
have gone really well. Te coaches
do a great job of going through the
moves step by step and breaking
them down for the newer people.

Last year, junior Haley Fourni-
er decided to transfer from Texas
Tech and return to her home state
of Kansas to play for the Jayhawks.
Fournier went to high school 36
miles away from the University of
Kansas at Blue
Valley North
in Overland
Park.
She had an
i mp r e s s i v e
high school
career, ac-
c umul at i ng
seven state
championships
while at Blue Valley North play-
ing soccer and tennis. She was
named a two-time All-American
in tennis as well as being rated
the number one womens tennis
player in the state, according to
Tennisrecruiting.net.
Following high school, Fourni-
er decided Texas Tech was the
right fit for her. Although Fourni-
er had a good freshman season,
she said she wasnt happy playing
11 hours from home.
I got home sick, I just wanted
to be closer to home, Fournier
said. I just have such a bigger
support system here. It is a lot
more comfortable playing at Kan-
sas.
Fournier will be a helpful addi-
tion to the Jayhawks for the 2012
season. She was unable to play in
2011 because of NCAA transfer
regulations.
Even though she has yet to take
the court, coach Amy Hall-Holt
believes Fournier will be an in-
stant contributor for the Jayhawks
in the upcoming season.
I think she is going to transi-
tion really well, Hall-Holt said.
She is definitely a mentally sound
player, a mentally tough player, so
I think she will add a lot of com-
mand to the team.
Kansas did not have the best
season last year with a 9-13 re-
cord, but eight players are return-
ing from last season. And with the
addition of a proven winner like
Fournier, the team hopes there
will be a spark on the court.
After a disappointing season,
getting on the right track might
be difficult, but Fournier is aware
of the challenges ahead. After
missing last season, she is ready
to get back to the grind.
I feel like Im on my home turf
now, Fournier said. Im excited
to be able to compete again after
having sat out for a year.

MADRID Bullfghts returned
live to Spanish state TV with a glit-
tering and music-flled display on
Wednesday evening, six years afer
the fghts were banned from the
widely watched public channel.
Te broadcast featured three of
Spains most famous bullfghters
and bulls by a renowned breeder,
giving a boost to a tradition hit
hard by declining popularity and a
dire economic crisis.
Julian Lopez, known by his stage
name of El Juli, killed three hulk-
ing half-ton bulls raised by Victo-
riano del Rio.
He and fellow matador Ale-
jandro Talavante delighted the
crowd at northern city Valladolid
and were carried out of the bull-
ring on their assistants shoulders,
an honor accorded only to fghters
that have thrilled their audiences.
Lopez and the other fghters
had waived image rights payments
demanded in better economic
times to broadcast their battles, a
decision that helped Spains new
austerity-minded conservative
government in its drive to get the
fghts back on national TV and
promote bullfghting as important
cultural heritage.
I am now conscious of the fact
that the future of bullfghting is far
more important than my own fu-
ture, said Lopez.
Te RTVE broadcast was a big
victory for pro-bullfghting forces
that saw bullfghting banned alto-
gether this year in the northeastern
region of Catalonia; its a defeat for
animal rights activists who de-
nounce bullfghting as barbaric.
Te transmissions were halted
in 2006 by Spains previous Social-
ist administration, which said they
were costly and coincided with key
TV viewing hours for young chil-
dren.
But the Socialists were ousted
in November by voters outraged
over Spains nose-diving econo-
my, and the conservative Popular
Party that won in a landslide is led
by Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy,
a staunch bullfghting defender.
Bullfghting afcionados hope
the revived national broadcasts
will spur renewed interest in the
fghts and reverse the trend of in-
creasingly graying audiences seen
in bullfghting rings with more and
more empty seats. Te tradition
has also sufered deep cutbacks
over the last several years by Span-
ish towns and cities that tradition-
ally fund fghts during the summer
months.
But bullfghting is steeped in
history, and the centuries-old
events that inspired the likes of
Goya, Picasso and Hemingway are
also popular in Colombia, Ecua-
dor, France and Mexico.
Wednesdays fght is one of the
last of this years season and RTVE
hasnt yet said how
many it will air
next year, though
supporters want
frequent broad-
casts, especially
from the most
famous bullrings
in Madrid and
Seville.
Hopefully now through Span-
ish TV our media can once again
generate enthusiasm among the
people, the masses, said Del Rio,
the breeder of the six bulls killed
Wednesday by El Juli and two
other matadors. Bullfghting, he
added, is something that changes
every second, a moment of life, a
momentary breath, that I believe
will once again take root among
the people.
Elite Spanish bullfghters are
millionaires who can make more
than 100,000 ($125,000 ) for each
appearance. El Juli this year started
paying half the cost of bullfght
tickets bought by people age 30
and under. For Wednesdays event,
he subsidized buses so Madrid fans
30 or under could get there for 25
($30) each for the 420-kilometer
(260-mile) round trip voyage.
Bullfghting foes who were en-
ergized last year afer Catalonia be-
came the second Spanish region to
ban bullfghts are decrying the live
broadcasts as a waste of air time
for spectacles squeezed by declin-
ing interest driven by generational
change and hard times.
Its a step backward from the
achievement of removing bull-
fghts from the television sched-
ule, said Aida Gascon, a spokes-
woman for the anti-bullfght group
AnimaNaturalis.
She called the move a despera-
tion efort to jumpstart interest in a
sport that is doomed to fail, claim-
ing bullfghts are followed mostly
by tourists
who attend
once and nev-
er return, or by
older people
from ages 60
to 90. When
all those peo-
ple stop they
will not be re-
placed by younger people.
Alfonso Nasarre, communica-
tions director of Spains state TV,
said the decision to include bull-
fghts in the schedule once again
was not politically motivated. Ac-
curate audience data will prove we
are right, he said, but he would not
confrm that bullfghts will form
part of the broadcasters perma-
nent output, saying only that bull-
fght- related news will be given a
higher priority.
Bullfghting advocates arent
easing up the pressure with their
coup of getting the fghts back on
TV.
Last March they presented a
petition with 500,000 signatures
to Parliament, demanding that
bullfghting be classifed as being
in the interest of preserving Span-
ish culture. Rajoys administration
is expected to introduce legisla-
tion that would give the events the
designation, which would over-
turn the Catalonia ban and a 1991
bullfghting ban for Spains Canary
Islands.

FARzIN VoUSoUGhIAN
fvousoughian@kansan.com
#5 oklahoma (1-0) vs Florida A&M (0-1)
oklahoma coach bob stoops will have his team more prepared to start a game this weekend.
the sooners started off slow against UteP and are vying for a better outing saturday night against
florida a&M for their home opener. the sooners only gave up a touchdown on special teams with
their defense shutting down UtePs offense. expect oklahomas defense to do well again.
Oklahoma wins, 45-3.
Bye week: #9 West Virginia and Baylor
#17 texas (1-0) vs New Mexico (1-0)
New Mexico knows they wont be able to put up 66 points on texas like they did last week against
southern University. the longhorns defense was forceful and allowed Wyoming to convert on third
down once last week. expect New Mexico to challenge texas early in the game. the longhorns defense
will come together in the second half to help the team win.
Texas wins, 41-20
#18 oklahoma State (1-0) @ Arizona (1-0)
oklahoma state made their presence known after an 84-0 win over savannah state. but arizona
senior quarterback Matt scott could give the cowboys defense some trouble. scott had two 100-yard
receivers and four players with at least six catches in last weeks overtime win over toledo, but it
may not be enough to keep up with oklahoma states offense.
Oklahoma State wins, 35-21
#20 tCU (0-0) vs Grambling State (0-1)
coach Gary Patterson gets his tcU football squad ready for their season opener against Grambling
state. a lot rides on the shoulders of junior quarterback casey Pachall, who threw 26 touchdown
passes and seven interceptions last season. this is tcUs frst game while representing the big 12,
and the team will unveil its new stadium.
TCU wins 48-6
#21 Kansas State (1-0) vs Miami (Fla.) (1-0)
Kansas state cant have another slow start, especially against Miami. Miami freshman running
back Duke Johnson carried the Hurricanes offense with seven carries for 135 yards and a pair of
touchdowns last week. coach bill snyders defense must contain Johnson in order to have a success-
ful day and walk away victorious.
Kansas State wins 28-24
Iowa State (1-0) @ Iowa (1-0)
Mike Meyer, Iowa junior kicker Mike Meyer was responsible for 12 of the 18 points the Hawkeyes put
up in last weeks win against Northern Illinois. Iowa state junior safety Deon broomfeld will be the
key in forcing the Hawkeyes to bring out Meyer rather than let their offense fnd the end zone.
Iowa wins 27-21
texas tech (1-0) @ texas State (1-0)
after giving up only six points last week, texas tech will face a bigger challenge next week in
texas state. the bobcats put 30 points on the scoreboard against Houston last week. this is an
opportunity for senior quarterback seth Doege to progress and help the red raiders win on the
road.
Texas Tech wins 41-9
