Te University of Kansas
placed Professor David Guth on

administrative leave afer strong
public backlash to his controversial
gun control tweet in response
to the Navy Yard shooting last
Monday.
Te volume of emails and
phone calls have been quite
threatening and disruptive on both
sides, said Ann Brill, Dean of the
William Allen White School of
Journalism.
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-
Little released a statement
Friday morning announcing the
action. Dean Brill wrote that the
privilege to express controversial
opinions must be balanced with
the rights of others in a statement
Tursday, and she clarifed that
administrative leave is intended to
create time for the University to
review the situation rather than to
punish Professor Guth.
I dont want anyone to feel
afraid to come to campus but one
way to quiet this was to create
some distance, Brill said. And to
make sure that Professor Guth was
able to be safe too.
Guth, a Strategic
Communications professor at the
William Allen White School of
Journalism, tweeted on Monday:
#NavyYardShooting Te blood
is on the hands of the #NRA. Next
time, let it be YOUR sons and
daughters. Shame on you. May
God damn you.
Te tweet received only a
handful of comments until
Campus Reform, a higher
education
watchdog
project
run by the
Leadership
Institute, a
conservative
activist
group,
published an
article with an interview from
Guth Tursday afernoon. Te
article ran with the headline
Journalism professor says
he hopes for murder of NRA
members children.
In a longer post to his personal
blog published Monday, Guth
wrote:
I dont wish what happened
today on anyone. But if it does
happen againand it likely will
may it happen to those misguided
miscreants who suggest that
todays death toll at the Navy
Yard would have been lower if the
employees there were allowed to
pack heat.
Guth stood by his tweet and blog
post, saying that he has nothing to
apologize for.
All I did was what any American
should have the right to do:
express his or her opinion in
an opinion forum, Guth said
Tursday. I regret that theres
been a blowback at KU. I didnt do
it on a KU site.
Chancellor Gray-Little said
that Guths classes will be taught
by other faculty members. Some
students in Guths classes are
asking to drop or be transferred to
other sections.
In order to prevent disruptions
to the learning environment for
students, the School of Journalism
and the university, I have directed
Provost Jefrey Vitter to place
Associate Professor Guth on
indefnite administrative leave
pending a review of the entire
situation, Gray-Little wrote.
Te Kansas Board of Regents,
which governs the six public
universities in the state of Kansas,
has expressed ofense at Guths
statements.
Te Board expresses its
appreciation for the immediate
response by the chancellor to
the situation and expresses its
confdence in her leadership,
said Andy Tompkins, President
and CEO of the Kansas Board of
Regents.
Te School of Journalism has
felded several donors concerns
about Guths conduct.
We have a lot of wonderful
alumni--theyre very talented
people of amazing integrity--and I
hope they appreciate were trying
to do whats best for the students,
Brill said.

GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
President Obama speaks Friday at the Ford Motor Company Assembly Plant in Claycomo, Mo. The president spoke to company employees about expanding the middle class for economic success.
A BETTER
BARGAIN
President Obama addresses future of middle
class workers at Claycomo Ford assembly plant
Kansas City was no arbitrary
location for President Barack
Obamas speech Friday afernoon.
Te Presidents A Better Bargain
for the Middle Class tour stopped
at the Ford Motor Company
Assembly Plant in Claycomo, Mo.,
to discuss the progress made since
the economic recession.
We bet on the American worker
and we bet on you, Obama said.
Today that bet has paid of because
the auto industry has come back.
Te speech detailed the
Presidents belief that politicians
must focus on expanding the
middle class. He described the
American automobile industry
as the heartbeat of American
manufacturing.
Its never a bad day when the
president comes by with good
news, said Tony Reinhart, regional
director of governmental relations
for Ford Motor Company.
Creating more jobs in the
automobile industry also creates
jobs for suppliers, distributors,
local restaurant and bar owners,
teachers, shareholders and CEOs
alike, Obama said. Te Ford Motor
Company is in the process of hiring
more than 2,000 new employees
between the two assembly facilities
in Claycomo.
All those people are impacted by
your success, Obama said. When
the middle class does better, we all
do better.
Ford, the ffh largest
international automaker in 2010
vehicle sales, began restructuring
corporate platforms in 2006,
before the economic downturn.
Te company has
since focused its
global platforms
and collaborated
with stakeholders
on common
goals.
Its early action
that has enabled
us to survive,
Reinhart said. We were able to
better predict where the economy
was and where it was going so we
were able to better prepare for the
upturn.
In Claycomo, Ford is now
building over 1,000 new F-150s
and has made a $1.1 billion dollar
investment in a new assembly line
to build 15-passenger vans. Te
automobile industry is strong, said
Curt Magleby, vice president of
government relations, because cars
are a product that the American
people always need.
Magleby believes Ford will keep
progressing thanks to consistently
putting out new, increasingly
sustainable technology. Te
company set a target of increasing
gas mileage to 54.5 miles per gallon
in new vehicles by 2025.
If were competitive, we can
support the jobs,
we can support
the families, we
can support the
communities,
Magleby said.
We want to
make anybody
who works for
Ford feel secure,
because their jobs are competitive
on a global basis.
DeMarle Jones, a member of
the public who was in attendance,
has worked at the Kansas City
Assembly Plant for 28 years. She
now is a team leader in the transit
body shop and started at Ford
working on the trim assembly line.
Its a good paying job, Jones said.
Ive made a nice living working for
Ford. It let me do a lot of things for
my daughter and grandkids.
Chad Troncin works for Ford
on the bargaining committee for
the United Automobile Workers
local union 249. Afer 20 years
of working at the Kansas City
Assembly Plant, hes not surprised
Obama chose Claycomo as an
example of successful jobs for the
middle class.
It shows that if you invest
in America, its a win-win for
everybody, Troncin said.
Tailoring his speech to his Ford
employees audience, the President
compared failing to raise the
debt ceiling to defaulting on a car
payment loan on a new F-150. He
said that economic growth must be
from the middle out, not the top
down, arguing that the success of
the economy as a whole depends
on workers like those at Ford.
Weve shown the world that
American workers are tough and
resilient, Obama said. Te only
thing built tougher than Ford
trucks are American workers.
The only thing built

tougher than Ford trucks
are American workers.

Ford employees and their families applaud in agreement with President Barack
Obamas speech in Claycomo, Mo. on Friday afternoon, Sept. 20.
Pulitzer Prize-winning journal-
ist Jose Antonio Vargas will give a
lecture tonight about the immigra-
tion issue in the U.S., which Vargas
has focused on for much of his
career. Hosted by Student Union
Activities, the event will take place
in Budig 120 tonight at 7 p.m. An
immigrant himself, Vargas poses
a question to students concerning
immigration reform: Where do
you stand?
Indiference is unacceptable,
Vargas said. Change only happens
when young people get involved.
When he was 12, Vargas family
moved from the Philippines to the
United States. But it wasnt until he
was 16 that he discovered that he
was undocumented. A year later,
he became motivated to be a jour-
nalist.
I grew up with people referring
to me, and people like me, as il-
legal. I wanted to prove to people
that I exist, that Im actually here,
that youre actually referring to a
human being. Writing for me, and
having a byline, was a way to do
that, Vargas said.
Vargas has also branched out
to the flm medium. Recently, he
spent time working on a documen-
tary about the experiences of being
an undocumented immigrant in
America. Titled Undocumented,
students get the opportunity to see
clips from the flm at the event.
Im not a politician. Im not an
organizer. Im not a leader. Im
called an activist and advocate --
okay, I have no control over that.
But I dont consider myself any
of those things. As far as Im con-
cerned, Im a writer, Im a flm-
maker, Im a storyteller and Im
working on the biggest story of my
life, which happens to involve me,
Vargas said.
Since the beginning of his career,
Vargas has won a Pulitzer Prize for
his coverage of the Virginia Tech
shooting, hes written a TIME Mag-
azine cover story and hes spent a
lot of time talking to people about
immigration reform. He feels that
his work has rewarded him with
the gif of perspective.
It has allowed me to really em-
pathize with people and under-
stand where theyre coming from
without judging them, and try to
understand why they feel what
they feel, he said.
Annie Matheis, Social Issues Co-
ordinator for SUA, is one of many
students who helped put the event
together.
As college students, were at such
a time where a speaker like this is
really critical. It can really open
our eyes to what real issues are in
America and things that people
deal with on a daily basis, Matheis
said.

House passes bill aimed at shutting down Obamacare
EMMA LEGAULT
elegault@kansan.com
On Friday, President Barack
Obama addressed the recovery
and growth of the automotive in-
dustry with employees at the Ford
Motor Co. stamping plant in Clay-
como, Mo.
Hours before he spoke, the
House passed a spending bill that
risks a government shutdown and
defunding of the Afordable Care
Act, known as Obamacare. All
four Kansas representatives voted
to defund the program.
Te bill is headed to the Senate,
where it isnt likely to pass in its
current form.
If a budget bill
isnt passed be-
fore next Mon-
day, the govern-
ment wont be
able to raise the
debt ceiling and
will default on its
obligationsits
bills. Tousands
of Americans will
feel the efects when they cant go
to work or get their paychecks.
A Congressional budget has
passed routinely each year since
the 1950s. A default has never
happened.
President Obama criticized
Congress action, saying it could
be profoundly destructive for
Americas reputation, its economy
and its future.
Basically, Obama said, Ameri-
ca becomes a deadbeat.
House Democrats and a small
number of Republicans echo Pres-
ident Obamas view. Te president
said those opposing the bill are
simply trying to crush his legisla-
tion.
Tey want to threaten default
just to make sure that tens of mil-
lions of Americans continue not
to have health care, President
Obama said.
Republicans have voted on
Obamacare issues 41 times, even
afer the Supreme Court ruled it
constitutional in June 2012.
Ac c o r d i n g
to President
Obama, it is
already reduc-
ing healthcare
costs across the
country, and is
not hinder-
ing economic
growth.
Te bill has
caused the
number of uninsured people in the
United States to drop by allowing
those age 26 and younger to re-
main on their parents insurance,
providing an extra cushion for a
generally healthy demographic
with insurance on the back burn-
ers of its mind.
Tis frees up some of the wor-
ries about fnding that perfect
job with benefts and creates new
opportunities for young adults,
wrote Jarron Saint Onge, assistant
professor of sociology.
Republicans contend that the
harm will come in the form of
penalties that companies and indi-
viduals will have to pay for opting
out of Obamacare coverage.
However, the Senate now has a
choice: to pass the spending bill
and eliminate Obamacare fund-
ing, or risk shutting down the
government if a compromise isnt
reached by the 30th.
Now theyve gone beyond just
holding Congress hostage, theyre
holding the whole country hos-
tage, Obama said of the House
Republicans.
He urged Congress to stop gov-
erning crisis-to-crisis and get back
to work, focusing on the agenda at
hand.
Te American people have
worked too hard for too long dig-
ging out of a real crisis just to let
politicians in Washington cause
another crisis, Obama said.
Obama expressed that hes more
than willing to work it out and
compromise.
I dont mind them disagree-
ing with me, he said. Tey dont
like the Afordable Care Act,
theyd rather have people not
have health insurance, Im hap-
py to have that debate with them.
But you dont have to threaten
to blow the whole thing up just
because you dont get your way.

Offce booking recap.
Te unwanted words and gestures

from an admirer can bring an onset
of nausea and fear to a victim of
sexual harassment. Anyone can
become a victim anywhere and
anytime. Tis is one of the many
reasons why the KU Ofce of In-
stitutional Opportunity and Access
has created the mandatory sexual
harassment online course for all
University students.
So many students dont think its
going to happen to them, so they
dont take it seriously. It can be as
simple as little, everyday things.
Lauren Moore, a Ph.D. student at
the University said.
Last year the course had an out-
standing 86 percent participation
rate. But does the student body
truly take it seriously or just click
through it? Sophomore Will Nye
expressed his views on the course:
I feel like most students just breeze
through the process and have no
consequences for lack of attention.
Tis might be the general con-
sensus among the majority of the
student body. However, Jane Mc-
Queeny, Executive Director at the
IOA ofce, said, For the students
who just click through, I really wish
they would read it and be thought-
ful about what theyre learning
through the course.
Students who approach it
seriously are better citizens of our
community.
According to McQueeny, the
course is not only designed to help
students become aware of their
rights and responsibilities when it
comes to sexual harassment, but
also encourage them to be respon-
sible and engaged.
Te primary focus is to make
sure these behaviors dont come
onto campus and prohibits students
in the education process. Its not
about just being bystanders, but
taking action to protect each other,
McQueeny said.
Te course also helps students
learn about resources available at
the University if they ever encoun-
ter issues with sexual harassment.
If students dont feel comfortable
going through a formal investiga-
tion through the IOA, McQueeny
encourages them to visit the Emily
Taylor Center for Women and Gen-
der Equity. Te Emily Taylor Cen-
ter ofers individual consultations
for students who need someone to
talk to about various topics, ranging
from assault or discrimination
issues to career concerns.
Although statistically it doesnt
happen as frequently, men can be
sexually harassed too. Tis issue
is not just limited to women. Te
IOA recognizes this, and the law
protects both. Te
course takes care of all. Mc-
Queeny said, expressing her views
of why all students, regardless of
gender, should continue to stay
engaged and informed.
Afer sharing her personal
experience with sexual harass-
ment, Moore said, You hope you
never have to, but its good to know
who to turn to if something does
happen. Its empowering to know
what resources are available. You
can stop feeling victimized and do
something about it. Its so import-
ant to speak up.
Students must check their KU
email for the link, and have this on-
line course completed by Sept. 30.

It was sixty years ago that former
Chancellor Deane Mallot called
for the creation of a program that
would combine multiple disci-
plines and spheres of thought. Tis
program, which would go on to
become the Department of Amer-
ican Studies, celebrates its 60-year
history this week.
Te celebration is a weeklong
series of events entitled Refect-
ing Forward - a reference to the
departments heritage and future.
Tis is designed to be more than
just a series of events, we will show
where the department started and
where it is heading in the future,
Professor Jennifer Hamer said.
Tis project has been in the
works for about a year, with most
of the work being done in the
last six months. A committee of
like-minded professors, headed by
Hamer, has scheduled a number
of events and guest speakers
that they believe will refect the
strengths of the department as a
whole. Te department and the
committee felt that there was a
need to reassert themselves on
campus by putting on this cele-
bration.
We are thrilled to have this
opportunity to honor our past,
and to remind the campus and the
community of the important, ex-
citing, and diverse scholarship that
our students and faculty engage in
every day, said Henry Bial, Chair
of the Department of American
Studies.
Tis celebra-
tion refects not
only the history
of the depart-
ment but shows
how heavily
involved it has
been in the
history of the
University. Tis
was one of the
frst interdis-
ciplinary pro-
grams at the University and it has
had a hand in the development of
multiple programs during its time
here. It is this spirit of involvement
and diversity in research that led
more than 10 departments to
co-sponsor the weeks events.
Given the interdisciplinary
nature of the program, we are very
pleased that so many diferent
departments on campus have con-
tributed to making the celebration
possible, Bial said. Scheduled
events include flm screenings,
lectures and meet-and-greet
sessions with prominent fgures
in the feld. Tese events will also
be available free-of-charge to the
public, excluding a test screening
on Wednesday night that will be
an invitation only event.
Students and members of the
community will be able to attend
Lunch-and-
Learn events
held at various
locations across
campus every day
this week except
Tuesday. Te
department will
also have infor-
mational tables
in the Kansas
Union every day
this week from 11
a.m. to 1 p.m., where students can
pose questions to representatives
from the department.
Tis is an opportunity for
American Studies to remind the
campus and the community about
the importance of the program,
Hamer said.

uled this week should visit www.

T
o put it delicately, Presi-
dent Obama couldnt sell a
bucket of water to a bloke
in burning trousers. And to be
honest, America does bear a strik-
ing resemblance to such a bloke
at the moment. Our president is
an undeniably powerful speaker,
but he really does sufer when it
comes to selling the American
people on his own policies.
Tis is saying a lot coming from
me. While Republicans contin-
ue to foam at the mouth and
even a faction of Democrats has
begun to distance themselves, I
remain a devoted supporter of the
President merely because I do ex-
tensive research on a select few of
his policies that are of particular
importance to me (cough cough
health care no, help, Im actually
coughing). But if it werent for
my unique situation, I cant say I
would be so on board with every-
thing hes proposed.
Te policies arent the problem.
Te problem is that the GOP has
put a surgeon generals warning
on everything Obamas selling,
and hes made very little efort to
sway the public away from the
outlandish claims. Tis strikes me
as odd since Obama has proven
to be a master salesman when he
himself is the product a pair of
convincing victories and nearly
$2 billion in cumulative campaign
funds could attest to that. During
those elections, Obama succeed-
ed chiefy because of his simple
messages and powerful branding
eforts. Ive never seen a country
so eager to wear a presidential
candidates face on a t-shirt, or
even emulate his likeness with
Facebook apps that turn your
profle picture red and blue. He
made himself the candidate of
Hope and Change, and if you
were against him, then you were
also against those fundamental
values.
But the tables have turned and
the GOP has transformed itself
into a political branding machine.
In just a short period of time, they
managed to twist the candidate
of hope into a Kenyan, social-
ist Muslim. In fact, they were
the ones who coined the term
Obamacare and rebranded it as
a doomsday for civilization.
I must admit, Im impressed. Te
key to their success has been their
ability to reduce highly complex
policies and conficts into blunt
buzzwords that draw on basic
human emotions, primarily fear.
Unfortunately, most Democrats
and Obama is no exception have
resorted to fnger-pointing rather
than actually explaining their
policies in simple enough terms to
stave of the negative connotations
from the GOP.
I gained a little bit of hope this
past Friday. I attended Obamas
speech at the Claycomo Ford
plant as a member of the press
and stood in awe as I watched him
speak for the following hour. Te
crowd was a small gathering of
Ford employees and their families.
Tey were primarily factory work-
ers. Only hours afer the House
voted to defund Obamacare, I
watched the man himself defend
his policy with the thirst of a car
salesmen living of of commis-
sion. And he told the workers
everything he could to make them
drive of the lot in a new car.
He didnt talk about ideology or
abstract concepts of government
spending or phony projections
for the year 2072. He gave hard
data. He said that defunding
Obamacare would rob 25 million
Americans of health care. He
said that the new regulations
mean that insurance companies
have to spend 80 percent of your
payments on your health care, not
administrative costs. He said that
kids would be able to stay on their
parents plans until they are 26, to
the roaring applause of the moth-
ers in the crowd. And then, just
to let the Ford employees know
that they were the most important
customers on the showroom foor,
he explained the GOPs refusal
to raise the debt ceiling by using
an F-150 as an example: once
youre buying a truck, you cant
say youre saving money by not
paying the bills. America would
essentially be a deadbeat if the
GOP goes through with the gov-
ernment shutdown.
I support my president. I truly
believe he has the best interests of
this country at heart, and for the
frst time in awhile, I feel that he
did an efective job in convincing
some regular Americans. Te
truth is, no staunch Republican is
going to have a massive ideolog-
ical shif and suddenly support
higher taxes and government
spending because of anything the
President says, or anything I say,
for that matter. Just like how my
parents arent going to give up
their Toyotas theyve driven for
20 plus years just because Ford
says theyve got a better car now.
But maybe if they took a little spin
in a Fusion theyd see what its
all about and be a little less set in
their ways.
If Obama really is fghting for
the middle class, then hell need
to reach them on their level, con-
nect with them on the issues that
they really care about and make it
clear that hes on their side.
And maybe, just maybe, theyll
buy that bucket of water. Our
trousers could use a rest.

B
efore I departed for China,
a good friend of mine said
something very interesting
to me.
As we looked up to the stars
from the Rocky Mountains, we
traded stories. Te collections of
constellations gently turned on
their axes and our conversation
gave way to the recounting of our
childhoods. Both the navets it
contained, and the unadulterated
truths it possessed as well.
Did you ever my friend
paused momentarily to fully
recall the old thought from
his mind, did you ever repeat
a word until you forget its
meaning, you know? And you
just heard its sound alone?
I asked him to clarify. You
know, like you say the word
wood until you just hear the
sound wood and dont think
of the object. He started to
repeat the word wood a couple
of times and then looked down,
letting out a small laugh.
I had never heard this before,
and made him promise me he
had naturally thought to do this
on his own, as the idea initially
seemed straight out of some
Buddhist guide to meditation.
He assured me, and the idea
stuck in my mind. I mean, it
seems incredible to me that my
mind doesnt have the self-con-
trol to separate a word from its
meaning. Its phenomenal that
afer 21 years of careful devel-
opment, I cant get my mind to
efectively perform such a simple
task. So a few days before I lef
for Nanjing, I decided that while
I spent the 25 hours commuting
across continents, I would con-
duct a little experiment.
Now if you could have stood
near me during the process, you
would have heard a gentle mum-
bling under my breath. As I wad-
ed through the security lines and
customs, it continued. Scrunched
between an old Chinese lady and
some over-the-hill perverted
French chef, it did not subside.
As the Frenchman voluntarily
shared the most intimate details
of his various sexual exploits to
an extent that made my stomach
turn, the repetition turned
inward. Ten fnally as I realized
my check-luggage had been lost,
you might have heard a small
muttering pass between my lips,
if only to keep myself calm: In-
ternational travel, international
travel, international travel
It is truly weird the way we
assign meaning to things, and it
is not limited to sounds either.
For example, my elementary
school holds more meaning
to me than that of a simple
building. I associate it with a
feeling of youthful curiosity, and
this was constructed on its own,
completely naturally. I can assure
you this was not taught.
Language, on the other hand,
seems to be an organized assort-
ment of meanings developed
over a long period of time to ulti-
mately facilitate more complex
thoughts, or the organization of
international travel.
From my laymans perspective,
language seems to be important
simply because it is one of the
easiest ways of communicating
wisdom. If I want to explain the
youthful feeling of adolescence,
it is terribly inefcient to take a
person to my elementary school;
even if I did, they probably
wouldnt catch my meaning. It
took six years of yearning for
whatever came next to create this
meaning. Tus, it is far simpler
to say, I feel a sense of youth-
ful curiosity all over again now
that Im about to graduate from
college. Now, please disregard
the fact that this statement is not
true.
Perhaps Im getting slightly
ahead of myself. At any rate, this
much is certain to me: if I can
ever say the words international
travel again and separate it from
its meaning I will only be a few
steps away from enlightenment,
and never again will I be able to
discuss international travel while
eating any food product attribut-
ed to France.

M
illions of companies
and businesses spend
large amounts of
money promoting products with
the goal to increase revenue. For
example, Coke spent $2.6 billion
on advertising worldwide in 2006,
the most recent year for which
fgures were available on their
website. So what does advertising
have to do with environmen-
talism? Dr. Wallace J. Nichols
proposes that it might just be the
answer to conservation.
Nichols is the creator of the
BlueMind movement. As ex-
plained on its website, BlueMind
links nature and neuroscience
to create a new feld it refers
to as Neuro-conservatism.
Each year, a BlueMind Summit
is held, bringing together top
neuroscientists, oceanographers,
explorers, educators and artists to
consider new questions about the
human brain on water.
Nichols believes that if we can
harness what happens in our
brain when we see and experience
the ocean, we could radically shif
conservation. From Shark Week
to Finding Nemo, our culture is
fascinated with the mysterious
life underwater.
According to the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Ad-
ministration, the ocean covers 71
percent of the earth. Not only is it
a huge part of our environment,
but waves may also cause a wave
of emotion. From soothing beach
noises to vacations on the coast,
people are attracted to this amaz-
ing part of our ecosystem.
However the fascination does
not transfer directly to conser-
vation. As put by Nichols in
a Hufngton Post Blog, Ive
heard it said that less than 1% of
eco-funding goes to caring for
the blue world. But, the fact is we
live on a blue planet, not a green
one, or a brown oneLife came
from the ocean, and most of our
planets life and habitable space
is in the ocean. We know all too
well that the ocean gives us our
climate, the air we breathe, and
food to eat.
Nichols suggests using peoples
natural attraction and attachment
to the ocean as a tool to pro-
tect it. Whether this is through
advertising or some other creative
method, the possibilities are
unlimited in this growing feld of
Neuro-conservatism.
And it doesnt just stop with
advertising and the ocean. In
Fostering Sustainable Behavior,
environmental psychologist Dr.
Doug McKenzie-Mohr combines
behavior patterns and sustain-
able practices. Specifcally, he
discusses the Teory of Self-Per-
ception. Te theory states that if
convenient opportunities exist
for people to behave sustainably,
then engaging in the act itself
will shape attitudes. Tis theory
revolves around the principle that
people prioritize consistency;
once they defne themselves as,
for example, the type of person
who recycles, then they will
continue to recycle.
If Neuro-conservatism and
environmental psychology were
continually put into practice, we
would all be the type of people
who care about and preserve our
planet.
If Coke spends billions of dol-
lars learning how to manipulate
the mind of the consumer, then
why shouldnt environmental
activists use the same methods to
actually accomplish something
rather than to just make a proft?
What if every time a goal was
accomplished, we would have
lessened our footprint on our nat-
ural world rather than funneling
money to large corporations?
With the science and knowledge
available to us, theres no reason
why we cant turn greed into a
greener planet.

Not only did Bill teach us a bunch
about science, but more importantly,
he taught us that science can be fun.
With the catchy theme song and the
interactive experiments, even young
students who felt that science was
hard or just not their thing were able to
work alongside Bill and have one of the best science teachers
in the world for fve years.
10: Bill Nye the Science Guy (1993-1998)
Generally in the media, young teen-
age girls get a bad representation.
They are shown either as shallow
or completely boy crazy. If they are
not either of those, then they are
portrayed as overly bookish and
unapproachable. Then, along comes
Buffy, who is able to kill vampires with style and strength,
making the world safe to live in. She quickly became an idol
for young women, and continues to be one today.
9: Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003)
Personally, The Proud Family was one
of my favorite animated shows while I
was growing up. Obviously it taught us
the importance of being a family, but
there were a few episodes that I still
remember that were pretty deep for a
childrens show. The episodes Culture
Shock and I Had a Dream which touched upon the issues of
stereotyping, segregation, racism and acceptance were two of
the most memorable of any animated show ever.
8: The Proud Family (2001-2005)
The amount that I learned from
Friends is amazing. Some of the
most important lessons were that
friends will be there through the
ups and the downs, apartment
living is the coolest, everyone
has their own lobster, and fnally,
coffee is acceptable to drink all day every day.

7: Friends (1994-2004)
Mother-daughter relationships are dif-
fcult. Really, parent-child relationships
are diffcult. However, the relationships
of Rory and Lorelai, Lorelai and her par-
ents, Rory and Chris, and my favorite,
Emily and Gran, show that it is normal
for a family to be dysfunctional. At the
end of the day, they follow each other
where they lead. Finally, Gilmore Girls reinforced the notion
that coffee is not just something to drink in the morning.
6: Gilmore Girls (2000-2007)
Again, this is another obvious
one. Courage taught us that it is
important to stand up to your fears
because that is the only way you
can grow up. But also, Courage
illustrated the fact that childrens
shows didnt always have to be
happy and stereotypical; they could have an edge and a
scare factor, which really was a pretty novel idea at the
time.
5: Courage the Cowardly Dog (1999-2002)
4: ER (1994-2009)
Very much like Courage the
Cowardly Dog, The Twilight
Zone taught us to face our fears
and grow from the experiences.
More so, this show also taught us
that things are very often not as
they seem. It also shows todays
audience that just because something is flmed in black
and white doesnt mean it isnt good or terrifying.
3: The Twilight Zone (1959-1964)
Again, this is a show that was full of
lessons. They were all important, dont
get me wrong, but they were easily
lessons that you could fnd somewhere
else. This particular television show
gave us the catchiest theme song of
all time and continues to teach us that
it is never a bad time to break out in a rap, as long as that rap
begins In West Philadelphia, born and raised
2: Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (1990-1996)
Finally, Freaks and Geeks taught
us the ultimate lesson: High school
sucks and there is no way of getting
around that. Whether you are part
of the nerdy clique, the popular
group or the outsiders, bad things
happen to everyone during those
four years. But as we can all agree, it does get better, and
eventually high school just becomes that time that no one
wants to revisit.

If youre looking for great food
and a relaxed environment, Mer-
chants Pub and Plate provides a
unique experience for Lawrence
residents and students alike.
Opening to the public this past
Saturday and located on Mass
Street where Tellers was, Mer-
chants owners T.K. Peterson
and Phillip Wilson were set on
transforming Merchants into a
gastro-pub focusing on Midwest-
ern food and bringing it back to its
original roots.
We took it back to its original
form, and the original form was
Merchants, that was the frst bank
at this location so we took it deep-
er into its historical value, Wilson
explains.
Meeting only last November,
Wilson and Peterson have since
constructed a restaurant to ft their
personal style and taste. Wilson
tends to take care of the front of
the house, while Peterson is the
head chef in the back.
Te two owners have put a lot of
thought into the restaurant, from
the menu to the decor. Te ombre
colors on the back of the bar, Wil-
son explained, are to pay homage
to the Midwestern sunset.
From the sunset on the wall to
the wall of mirrors by the kitchen,
Merchants style allows the wood-
work and original architecture to
stand out. Wilson elaborates, We
really wanted to quiet the space
and show the architecture and just
let this be a beautiful space.
While sitting and waiting for
their food, customers can see the
kitchen and watch their food being
made.
I think transparency in food
is very important. I think people
want to see what is happening
with their food. People are very
intrigued about what it means to
be a chef and what it is we do,
Peterson said.
In order to create a community
style restaurant, Merchants has
happy hour from 4-6 p.m. and 9
to close every night, with fun,
small bar snacks friends can split.
We really want it to be a com-
munity restaurant; were one to
all. Everyone in the community
comes, anyone whos budgeted or
anyone who is a high-roller, its
here for all, Wilson explains.
Merchants also has a beer
program, where they house 30 do-
mestic beers on tap. On the board
where beers are listed, it was im-
portant to both owners that they
listed the alcohol percentages so
customers can drink responsibly.
On the door, customers will
notice the times that Merchants
closes is late on the weekdays
and later on the weekends.
Peterson said while they have
customers, they wont close. Tey
want to create an atmosphere
where if customers want to be
there, they can.
Nate Gerber reaches into his bag,
resting just at his hips, pulls out a
round, white ball and rubs it on
each of his palms. Fine-grained,
white particles of chalk fll the air
as he slaps his hands together and
places them strategically on two
awkwardly angled grips. He asks,
on belay?
Te belayer responds, Belay on.
Hes ready to begin his ascent.
Gerber, a freshman at the Univer-
sity, joined the KU Rock Climbing
Club three weeks ago.
It was one of the cheaper clubs,
and rock climbing sounded like
something fun to go out and do,
and it doesnt require a lot of prior
experience, Gerber said.
Te Rock Climbing Club was
founded in the 90s and is now run
by Scott Snyder, a junior at the
University and the president of the
club. Becoming a member of the
club costs $75 and requires a will-
ingness to face heights, and learn
new techniques and routes.
Our motto is come to learn, stay
to teach and go forth to climb,
said Snyder, and were going to
teach them [the climbers] every-
thing they need to know.
With the help of more experi-
enced club leaders, Gerber has
learned to enjoy the challenges
of diferent routes on the Ambler
Student Recreation Centers rock
wall. He is currently working on
breaking the fastest record of 16
seconds to the top on one of the
more difcult routes.
Although a vast majority of the
clubs time is spent on the recs
climbing walls,
they have fve
weekend trips
planned to
experience
climbing real
rock walls
while enjoying
the beautiful
scenery and
each others
company. Te
frst trip of the year was two weeks
ago, Sunday September 8, when
the club carpooled to Missouri.
With the weather
being too hot to
climb, making
it risky for the
climbers to pursue
routes, the club
enjoyed a day of
swimming in a
river located right
at the foot of the
clif.

The new restaurant, Merchants, is opening on Massachusettes Street after making changes from the previous owner, Tellers.
New restaurant brings fresh
atmosphere to downtown
While Drakes new sentimental
album and emotional bars may
have you calling up your kinder-
garten girlfriend/boyfriend, the
twitter leak of Nothing Was the
Same has proven yet again that
Aubrey Drake Graham is an
incredibly versatile and talented
artist-debatably releasing his best
work to date.
However this album leak brings
up an age old controversy. Every
day, millions of people illegally
download music, movies, and
other content online, but does
that make it right?
Government programs have
struggled to contain the spread
of illegal downloads, and our
internet culture makes it nearly
impossible. Whether is it through
an email, blog post, tweet, or
status update, online activity
makes it incredibly easy to share
and download the latest music
for free.
In my opinion I think it is okay
to download the album if it leaks
as long as you still buy it when it
actually comes out. Most of the
time you can pre-order albums
on iTunes, so if it leaks early
you've already paid for it, said
Mike Lambert, a sophomore from
Chicago, Illinois.
Yet many people are unaware of

WIN GIVES KANSAS MOMENTUM
Team makes plays late to escape with 13-10 victory at home
WAVE THE WHEAT
With the game on the line the defense forced and recovered a fumble by La. Tech running back Ken-
neth Dixon. However, Dixon also rushed for 129 yards, calling into question once again the defenses
ability to stop the run. The defense is currently ranked 23rd in the nation in scoring defense, allowing
just 15.7 points per game.
DEFENSE: B
La. Tech did everything it could to stop the inside run, limiting James Sims to only 79 yards on 20
carries, which forced Kansas into the uncomfortable position of having to rely on the passing game
to move the ball. Heaps threw the ball for 279 yards, but it took 46 passes to do it, and also had two
interceptions.
OFFENSE: D
Trevor Pardula helped the Jayhawks win the battle for feld position with solid punting once again,
and Matthew Wyman made a 52-yard feld goal from the left hash mark to give the Jayhawks the win.
SPECIAL TEAMS: A
Weis said Pierson would be used more, and he had a big day with 14 total offensive touches. The
offensive line struggled and the Jayhawks failed to fnish drives, but in crunch time players made
the necessary plays, giving Weis a little breathing room from the coaching hot-seat.
COACHING: C
Kansas has a winning record. Ugly or not, Kansas escaped with a victory that, had they not got, would
have put quite the damper on the season heading into Big 12 competition. In a loss, the goal may have
been just to get one win and it would have bashed any hopes the team had of a six win season.
GLASS HALF FULL
The offense looked pretty ugly for three quarters - three very long quarters. Kansas is currently
averaging just over 19 points per game, and that will not hold any weight against Big 12 opponents.
Kansas scored just three points in three quarters, and it took a Herculean effort by tight end Jimmay
Mundine and a last second feld goal to get the win. Kansas cant survive in the Big 12 taking that
long to get going on offense.
GLASS HALF EMPTY
Kansas has a kicker. Matthew Wyman put every worry and bad memory fans had of the Kansas kick-
ing game to bed. Stepping up and lacing a 52-yarder not only to win the game, but knowing every-
body is thinking not again? The verdict: good.
GOOD, BAD OR JUST PLAIN STUPID
The Kansas defense came out strong but has appeared to have a sporadic identity as a defensive
unit. After holding Louisiana Tech to a combined 24 yards on the teams frst three drives, the
defense allowed Tech to get 50-plus yards on each of the next four possessions. Cohesion is key for
the defense if it wants to be successful in Big 12 play.
DELAY OF THE GAME
Rodriguez Coleman, Jake Heaps and Tony Pierson all talked post game about the new up-tempo of-
fense they learned in one week and used Saturday against La. Tech. With a bye week coming up, it will
be interesting to see how this new offense comes along.
LOOKING AHEAD
The new Kansas offense has a lot of question marks around it. Kansas was able to get a good
amount of yards on offense, but the inability to execute and convert on third down (7-17) is not exact-
ly comforting heading into Big 12 play.
FINAL THOUGHT
EMILY WITTLER/KANSAN

The amount of yards Tony Pierson averaged per touch Saturday. Coach Weis made
sure the offense got the ball to Pierson, with the standout back touching the ball 14
times in this game, compared to just 12 times in the previous two games combined.
All future Kansas offensive game plans confrmed: get the ball to Tony Pierson.
Jayhawks handled it really well,
the scoreboard didnt exactly show
it. But Kansas did earn 396 yards
of total ofense, more than the 360
yard average of last years squad
and the 385 yards of total ofense
averaged in Kansas frst two games
this season.
It doesnt stop the fact that we
were driving down the feld, Heaps
said. We were driving down the
feld. Its just when we were getting
in those short yardage situations,
we werent fnishing the drives, and
[there were] multiple times where
we should have walked away with
points. I think well improve even
more as we get more comfortable
with it.
Kansas did follow through with
its game plan to get the ball to Tony
Pierson who had 14 touches, two
more than the 12 he had in the pre-
vious two games combined.Kansas
has a bye this week, and will have
extra time to get comfortable with
the new ofense. Te team will
need to get comfortable with it to
put up a fght against undefeated
Texas Tech at Memorial Stadium
for homecoming on Oct. 5. Tech
has averaged just under 39 points
in its four games this season, while
Kansas has averaged just over 19.
Te ofense for the Kansas soccer
team seems to have returned,
bringing the Jayhawks back into
the win column with two victories
over the weekend. Te Jayhawks,
who now stand at 5-4-1, defeated
the South Dakota State Jackrabbits
2-1 on Friday and the Illinois State
Redbirds 2-0 on Sunday.
Following three games where
they were shut out, the Jayhawks
got on the board fast with sopho-
more forward Courtney Dicker-
sons goal in the frst minute of the
match on Friday.
Sophomore midfelder Liana
Salazar had the assist. Junior
defender Haley Yearout made her
frst goal of her career to put the
Jayhawks ahead for good.
Sunday, the ofense continued to
create scoring opportunities and
capitalize on them.
On Friday, there was a lot of
pressure on the attacking players
because we hadnt scored in a cou-
ple of games, coach Mark Francis
said. We struggled, really, and I
thought we created a lot of chances
Friday and we just built upon that
today.
Salazar put the Jayhawks on top
with her goal in the 30th minute
of the game. Senior forward Car-
oline Kastor got possession of the
ball near midfeld on the Illinois
State half of the feld. She started
her run up the sideline with two
defenders guarding her closely,
trying to force her into the corner.
She maneuvered around them and
fred a pass to the middle of the
feld. At the end of the play, Salazar
aggressively charged toward the
goal and sent a strong shot straight
into the net. Kastor and senior
forward Ali Kimura assisted on
the play.
Sophomore forward Ashley
Williams scored the second
Jayhawk goal. Fourteen minutes
into the second half, Salazar sent a
long pass toward Williams and the
oppositions goal.
Williams played one-on-one
with Aryn Newsom, the Illinois
State junior goalkeeper, and shot
the ball past Newsom.
While the focus lately has been
on the ofense, the defense was key
in assuring the victory.
Francis said the victory was a
collective efort by the whole team,
but he gave special credit to junior
goalkeeper Kaitlyn Stroud, who
totaled seven saves against Illinois
State.
Its all about staying focused,
Stroud said. When the shots
coming, all you have to do is stick
to your technique and try to read
the ball the best you can.
A couple of minutes afer Sala-
zars goal, the Redbirds had one of
their best scoring chances of the
match. Stroud was crucial in shut-
ting it down. Afer senior defender
Madi Hillis missed the ball, Illinois
State took the opportunity to shoot
on goal, with only Stroud there to-
defend. She charged and knocked
the ball away from the goal. Stroud
and Kansas defenders fought of at
least two other Illinois State shots
in the frenzy that ensued, and
emerged with their shutout still
intact.
Illinois State and Kansas both
played a physical game with each
side keeping up their levels of
aggression throughout the match.
Five yellow cards were issued,
with four going against Kansas.
Kimura and freshman defender
Morgan Williams were given cards
in the frst half. Freshman forward
Ashley Pankey was given one in
the second half, and the team was
given one afer Francis argued with
referees over a no-call.
Each team had injury scares as a
result of the physical play. Players
were constantly knocked to the
ground from the pushing and
shoving. While the yellow cards
are not desirable,
Francis said they represent the
intensity the team brought to the
match. Overall, he said he was
pleased by the play of his entire
team.
I think collectively as far as a
lot of the things we were looking
to do, that was our best game,
Francis said.

Jayhawks break losing streak after weekend wins
SOCCER
STELLA LIANG

GRIDIRON
Forced to pass
Louisiana Tech loaded the box
throughout the game in an attempt
to stop Kansas from running the
ball inside. Te strategy worked for
most of the game and limited the
running game.
Tey wanted us to beat them
with the pass, running back James
Sims said.
Jake Heaps threw the ball 46
times in Saturdays 13-10 win. In
the two previous games, Heaps
had a combined 49 attempts.
Heaps knew before the game that
the Jayhawks would be passing
more, but even he was surprised
by how much more.
We didnt expect to have that
many attempts, Heaps said, but
the way the game was going and
the way we were playing, the pass-
ing game was working for us and it
was efcient.
Te team has been looking to
fnd more balance in its passing
game, and coach Charlie Weis has
said that will be critical against Big
12 competition. Te game against
Louisiana Tech could help them
do that.
Well use that to build of of it,
Heaps said.
More touches for Tony
In his Tuesday press conference,
Weis said to expect to see an ex-
panded role for Tony Pierson and
Brandon Bourbon against Louisi-
ana Tech, and
thats exactly
what happened.
Te whole
week I was
getting the
ball, Pierson
said. So, going
into the game I
fgured I would
be getting a lot
of touches, and I did today.
Pierson ended up with the ball in
his hands on 14 plays, and Bour-
bon had seven touches as well.
Tey combined for 129 receiving
yards. Pierson caught nine passes,
but none more important than a
29-yard catch on the fnal drive
of the game that brought the Jay-
hawks within feld goal range.
I saw the ball and thought I had
to make a play for the team, and I
made the play, Pierson said.
Confdence in the kicker
In practice, the Jayhawks simu-
late the situation of having a feld
goal to win the game just like the
one that Matthew Wyman made
against Louisiana Tech, except in
practice a miss means the team has
to run laps.
If he missed today, it would have
been worse than that, Weis said
afer the game.
But it was no surprise to Weis, or
the players, that Wyman made the
52-yard feld goal.
Te kids been nailing them
from that distance, Weis said of
what hes seen in practice.
Keon Stowers recovered the fum-
ble at Kansas fve-yard-line that
made the feld goal possible.
Tat put the ball in the hands of
Jake Heaps and the Kansas ofense
with an opportunity to win the
game, as they made several big
plays to set up the feld goal.
My stomach was turning, Heaps
said.
Te situation was less nerve-rack-
ing for Stowers.
Tat feld goal, it was just like
every day, Stowers said. I had a
hundred percent confdence that
he was going to make it.

a tournaments MVP, Coach Ray
Bechard wasnt surprised McNor-
ton received the honor.
Shes real steady, Bechard said.
Shes your point guard, shes your
quarterback who manages every-
thing out there from an ofensive
standpoint.
Even with an attack percent-
age of .364 for the tournament,
McNorton noted that it was an
allaround efort on both sides of
the ball. In the three matches, the
Jayhawks defense allowed more-
than 20 points in just four of the
10 sets. Kansas dropped only one
set in the tournament.
At the beginning [of the
season], we were a little incon-
sistent, McNorton said. Te
defense would have great days
but our hitting percentage wasnt
there or vice versa. I think (today)
it was a good efort altogether.
Joining her on the all-tour-
nament team are Jarmoc and
McClinton, who combined for 68
kills in the tournament. Jarmoc
was named the tournament MVP
at last weekends InnTowner Invi-
tational in Madison, Wisc.
Despite opening the season
with a 4-3 record, the Jayhawks
have come back to win their next
six matches, defeating quality
opponents from the Southeastern
Conference, Atlantic Coast Con-
ference and Big Ten along the way.
Even at the beginning when
things werent going as planned,
everyone still had faith in each
other, McNorton said. Te
way we fnished the preseason
(pre-conference) compared to
how we started was so much
better.
Kansas returns home on

FROM SWEEP PAGE 10 VICTORY FROM PAGE 10
W
hen you look at the Chiefs
three games into the NFL
season, the frst thing you have
to think about is defense. Te Chiefs are
rolling. Tey are 3-0 and defeated the fast-
est-moving team in the NFL last Tursday,
the Philadelphia Eagles. No one player
has been more important to this swing in
production on the feld more than safety
Eric Berry.
Berry is not the biggest, strongest or fast-
est man on the Chiefs, but he is the leader
of a defense that is second in the NFL in
points allowed.
Berry boasts an 88 rating in Madden
25, but on defense for the Chiefs, he has
been anchoring down the back end of the
defense like the best safety in the league.
Te Chiefs are giving up only 11 points per
game - and Berry is not letting anyone get
by him down the feld.
Te two-time Pro Bowler is a ball-hawk
on the feld. Berry thrives on making the
opposing team look bad on ofense. He has
become a headache on defense, and is a bad
man when given a full head of steam with
an opportunity to hit someone hard.
Possibly the biggest play of the game for
the Chiefs on Tursday was the intercep-
tion returned for a touchdown by Berry. In
a game where the opposing team is coming
in averaging over 30 points a game, every
point is crucial. Berry waltzed in for the
38-yard touchdown afer catching a Mi-
chael Vick pass that was tipped. With that,
he fulflled a dream of picking-of
his favorite quarterback from his
childhood.
To be the best, you have to think
like the best. One of the biggest
reasons Berry reads the quar-
terback so well is he was once a
quarterback himself. In high school,
Berry led Creekside High School in
Fairburn, Ga. to a 35-7 record as a
starter, playing both cornerback and
quarterback.
Obviously he took the correct route in
playing in the secondary but the skills he
learned at quarterback have transitioned
into his thinking now, making it look easy
as he ofen fawlessly reads passers, leading
to picks and knockdowns.
Berry has seen quite a few losses since
joining the Chiefs, but this year he is look-
ing to lead the stellar defense of the Chiefs
to a few more Ws. Te Chiefs are set to
take on the winless Giants this Sunday.
Te
Gi- ants
ofense has
lacked produc-
tion in the run
game, forcing quarterback Eli
Manning to look down the feld more than
usual. Look for Berry to give Manning
headaches all day as he knocks down balls,
has a few hits, and anchors what is turning
into one of the best defenses in the AFC.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Justin
Maxwell hit a grand slam with two
outs in the 10th inning and the
Kansas City Royals beat the Texas
Rangers 4-0 Sunday in a matchup
of AL wild-card contenders.
Te Oakland Athletics clinched
the AL West with the Rangers'
loss.Texas dropped 1 games
behind Cleveland for the second
wild-card spot. Kansas City is 3
back.
Maxwell connected of former
Royals All-Star closer Joakim
Soria.
Royals starter James Shields gave
up six hits in eight innings, walk-
ing one and striking out two.
Texas starter Alexi Ogando
pitched two-hit ball for seven
innings, striking out fve and
walking one.
Eric Hosmer led of the Royals
10th by punching a double with
two strikes down the leffeld line
of Neal Cotts (5-3). Soria relieved
and intentionally walked Billy
Butler, and an infeld single by
Salvador Perez loaded the bases.
Mike Moustakas popped up
and pinch-hitter George Kottaras
grounded into a force play at the
plate before Maxwell hit a full-
count pitch over the lef-feld wall
for his second career grand slam.
Tim Collins (3-6) worked a per-
fect 10th to pick up the victory.
Ogando, who had three stints

since May 15.
He lef afer 77 pitches.
Maxwell hit a leadof single in the
third and moved up on a sacri-

Shields, who was 4-1 in his pre-
vious fve starts, lowered his ERA
to 3.21. He was struck in the right

Kansas City Royals Justin Maxwell (27) is greeted by teammates after Maxwell hit a grand slam during the 10th inning to win
a baseball game against the Texas Rangers, Sunday in Kansas City, Mo. The Royals won the game 4-0 in 10 innings.
Kansas (10-3) swept all of its
matches this weekend to win the
Kansas Invitational, marking the
Jayhawks third tournament title
this season.
With wins over North Dakota
State, Georgia and Notre Dame,
Kansas improved its winning
streak to six matches as it closed
out the pre-conference schedule
on Sunday. Afer a stretch that
included nine out of ten matches
on the road, the Jayhawks
returned home for consecutive
matches for
the frst time
this season.

ways have the
best starts in

A worry-free week
for football
BETTER LATE THAN NEVER
ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN
Freshman placekicker Matthew Wyman kicks the game-winning 52-yard feld goal Saturday to beat Louisiana Tech. It was Kansas frst win against an FBS opponent in 23 games.
ITS GOOD
Late turnovers set up game-winning field goal for Jayhawks
VOLLEYBALL
Jayhawks continue to sweep tournaments
When Kansas kicker Matthew
Wyman lef the Anderson Family
Football complex Saturday afer-
noon, hardly anybody knew who
he was, but everyone was aware of
what he had just done. What he
had done was nail a 52-yard feld
goal with 0:02 seconds lef to lif
Kansas over Louisiana Tech 13-10
- snapping a 22-game losing streak
for the Jayhawks against FBS
opponents.
Hardly anyone recognized the
62 180-pound, backpack-wear-
ing Wyman, who was going
to meet his grandparents who
were in attendance at the game.
Wyman walked past numerous
fans tailgates, all of them happy,
caught up in music and beverages,
lending Wyman no more special
of a glance than any other stranger.
Little did they know, the cause of
their celebration was walking by
without any recognition.
I always wanted to be famous, so
I guess Im a little famous, Wyman
said.
Some may know Wymans name
now, but Kansas was fortunate
to even have a chance to win the
game. Te Jayhawks kept the
game close in what was an ugly
frst three quarters for the Kansas
ofense, but two Louisiana Tech
turnovers in the fourth quarter
gave Kansas the chance to set up
Wyman for the game-winning 52-
yard feld goal.
Te couple of turnovers late
gave us a chance. We bounced
back and tied it, head coach
Charlie Weis said. Ten we went
for a play that we practice almost
everyday and Wyman goes on to
win it with his feld goal.
Kansas scored on both posses-
sions following
Louisiana Tech
turnovers in the
fourth quarter.
Kansas frst
took the ball 80
yards to the end
zone midway
through the
fourth quarter,
when tight
end Jimmay
Mundine did the dirty work on a
short pass from quarterback Jake
Heaps, pounding and spinning
his way beyond the goal line for
Kansas frst and only touchdown
of the game.
Te next turnover came late in
the fourth with the game tied at 10
and less than 1:30 to go when Kan-
sas linebacker Michael Reynolds
stripped the ball from Louisiana
Tech running
back Kenneth
Dixon at the
KU 5, allowing
Kansas lineman
Keon Stowers to
pounce on the
ball.
Te ball
bounced around
and went to their
player, then to
our player, then back to their play-
er, Stowers said. He [Dixon] kind
of had it in his hand, and then I
ripped it away.
I put both hands on it and I
wasnt letting anyone get it away
from me. I even had guys on my
team trying to rip at the ball, I was
like nope.
Kansas then drove the ball down
the feld to the La. Tech 35-yard
line, setting the stage for Wyman.
One of the bigger sub-plots of the
game was post-game, when Heaps
shed light on the new ofense
that was utilized for the frst time
against Louisiana Tech.
We changed everything for
this game. We had cards, all new
signals, Heaps said. I think our
ofense, during practice, handled
that so well and that was a big deal
- how these guys could respond,
how they could handle it. We
pretty much changed the whole
operation of our ofense in one
week and these guys handled it
really well.
Despite Heaps claiming the

The Jayhawks celebrate a victory against Notre Dame, ranked 25th, on Sunday.
We changed everything
for this game. We had
cards, all new signals.
JAKE HEAPS
Kansas quarterback
T
here are two takeaways
from watching Kansas
football on Saturday.
First, its nowhere near ready
to compete with the Big 12. Te
play calling makes you want to rip
your hair out, the wide-outs can
hardly receive and once again it
seems the Jayhawks specialty is
giving the ball away.
Tere mightve been a few
bright spots aside from their
punting prowess, but entering the
fourth quarter the Jayhawks only
mustered three points against a
Louisiana Tech team that lost to
Tulane at home.
Keep that in mind as you regis-
ter this: Te Kansas football team
is 2-1.
Te Jayhawks made a 10-point
comeback in the fourth quarter
and snapped a 22-game losing
streak to FBS schools.
You could argue which point is
more important.
It was incredible that we were
able to battle through adversity
the whole game, quarterback
Jake Heaps said afer his second
victory as a Jayhawk. It shows the
strength of our team and having
chemistry with one another.
Nevertheless, those faws exist
and theyll likely cause the Jay-
hawks more heartache than hap-
piness this season. You cant have
great play from a quarterback
without receivers that can hold up
their end of the bargain, save for
Tony Pierson.
Matt Wyman couldnt have
become Saturdays hero if Pierson
hadnt streaked down the middle
of the feld for a 29-yard reception
moments earlier.
But Pierson did get open for a
brief moment, and everyone in
Lawrence will know the name
Matt Wyman today, and for a
week at least, the Jayhawks have a
winning program.
I knew he was going to make
it, linebacker Ben Heeney said of
Wyman. Its rare for him to miss,
we practice for that every day.
Coach Weis will say if Matt makes
it, we dont have to run, if he
misses it we have to run. I knew
he was going to make it.
Wyman made it and the Jay-
hawks still ran, only this time it
was to celebrate with their kicker
where they formed a mob of
screams and smiles.
Just dont think this means Kan-
sas is ready to take down its own
conference. Its been 21 games
since the Jayhawks surprised the
Big 12 and it was a surprise,
with Kansas making a 35-point
comeback in the fourth quarter
against Colorado because every
faw that fans were able to pick
apart on Saturday will be seen
again in flm rooms in Lubbock,
Texas next week.
For now, what diference does it
make? Te students of this univer-
sity deserve a week to enjoy a win
without fear of an impending loss,
and thats exactly what Kansas
earned.
