Jay-Z and Sylvia Plath, Shake-
speare and Big Daddy Kane,

Ralph Ellison and Kanye West. On
Tursday night, the names mixed
together indiscriminately.
Adam Bradley, an associate pro-
fessor of English at the University
of Colorado-Boulder, delivered
the message that rap is pounding
on the door of the literary estab-
lishment as part of what he called
a State of the Union of Hip Hop
2011. He was joined in Alderson
Auditorium in the Kansas Union
by a panel of guest speakers that
included University faculty and
staf as he discussed rap, writing
a book with Common and the
structure of hip-hop.
Bradley, the author of Te An-
thology of Rap and co-author of
Commons memoir, One Day Itll
All Make Sense, presented his
view that traditional poetry could
no longer aford to ignore rap.
And rap and hip-hop, he said,
are not synonymous.
KRS-One said it best, Bradley
said. Rap is something that you
do, and hip-hop is something that
you live.
Bradley broke down the parts
of hip-hop for the audience which
included disc jockeying, emcee-
ing and graftti. Rap, he said, was
composed of three parts: rhythm,
rhyme and wordplay. Rap is an ex-
tension of the classical rhetorical
tradition, he said, of poetic story-
telling.
Te arguments for why rap is
not poetry, according to Bradley,
depend on notions that rap is pro-
fane and trapped in a suspended
adolescence. Also, it is music.
But just as Homer told stories
through song, Bradley said, so
does Jay-Z. For thousands of years,
poetry and and music went hand
in hand. He questioned why they
could not go together again, even
if traditional poetry has gone a
diferent direction. As to profan-
ity, Bradley said rap refected the
world that real people live in.
Some people are reluctant to
include rap in the canon of litera-
ture, Bradley said, because intel-
lectual elites cannot control it. Rap
exists outside of the systems of
patronage that have traditionally
supported the fne arts.
Te poetry of hip-hop is a po-
litical statement, he said. Te
people making rap dont neces-
sarily look like those that judge
poetry.
Bradley also pointed to a de-
clining interest in literary poems
among the general public.
Each one of you in this room
knows someone, somewhere, who
is writing a bad poem, he said.

Adam Bradley, author of The Anthology of Rap and co-author of Commons memoir One Day Itll All Make Sense, discusses the elements and poetics of Hip-Hop rhyme and style Tuesday night at Alderson Auditorium. Bradleys lecture and books delve into why
rap and hip-hop artists are just as eloquent of poets as Shakespeare or Poe.

Dr. Barbara Atkinson an-
nounced Tursday plans to step
down from her position as dean of
the School of Medicine and execu-
tive vice chancellor of the Univer-
sity of Kansas Medical Center.
Te search for a new dean will
begin immediately, according to a
statement from Chancellor Berna-
dette Gray-Little.
However, Atkinson will re-
main as executive vice chancellor
of KUMC for another two years,
when she plans to retire from that
position. Atkinson wrote that she
will fnish work on the University
of Kansas Cancer Centers applica-
tion for National Cancer Institute
designation and the opening of the
School of Public Health. She will
continue with eforts to increase
class sizes at KUMCs campus in
Kansas City, Kan., and build part-
nerships with health organizations
in Wyandotte County.
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-
Little released a statement accept-
ing Atkinsons decision and prais-
ing her work. Atkinson has served
as dean since 2002 and as execu-
tive vice chancellor since 2005.
Gray-Little wrote that KUMCs
National Institutes of Health rank-
ing rose 15 places since 2006. It is
now ranked 60th nationally and
the faculty has doubled in size
since the expansion of campuses
in Wichita and Salina.

Allegations of child abuse at
Penn State have moved the Uni-
versity to review its own policies
and consider changes.
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-
Little announced the review in
a statement Tursday. State law
requiring suspicions of child
abuse to be reported to authori-
ties does not apply to univer-
sity institutions, according to the
chancellor.
We are examining changes to
KUs own policies which would
codify that responsibility for our
employees, the statement read
in part.
University policies already
require internal reporting of
criminal ofenses, according to
Jack Martin, a spokesman for the
University. Tese, as well as state
and federal laws, apply to some
categories of University employ-
ees.
Kansas mandatory reporting
law requires several classes of
professionals to notify law en-
forcement of suspicions of child
abuse or neglect. Te law covers
physicians, dentists, nurses, hos-
pital administrators, psycholo-
gists, social workers, alcohol and
drug abuse counselors, teachers,
school administrators, frefght-
ers, police and several other
professions that involve the care

The man tapped to be Italys next
premier earned the moniker Super Mario
in the halls of the European Commission,
stopping such corporate giants as Jack
Welch and Bill Gates in their competitive
tracks.
Elegantly attired with a formal
demeanor, Mario Monti proved his mettle
as a tough negotiator when he blocked
the merger of General Electric and
Honeywell and levied a 500 million euro
fine against Microsoft for abusing its
dominant position.
He moves with caution and speaks
with nuances. But he moves, said Carlo
Guarnieri, a political scientist at the
University of Bologna.
A leading economist, Monti is among
the most respected men in the country
and the most admired Italians in Europe.
SULAImANIYAh, IRAq
The Kurdish regional government
has signed a deal with ExxonMobil to
explore oil fields in northern Iraq, Kurdish
officials said Sunday, putting them
in sharp conflict with Iraqs national
government.
The government in Baghdad wants to
control all energy contracts signed in
Iraq. With the deal, ExxonMobil becomes
the first oil major to do business in the
Kurdish region in defiance of the central
governments wishes.
The deal was announced Sunday
by Kurdish officials at an oil and gas
conference in Irbil in comments carried
on Kurdish television. Details of the deal
were published on Friday by the Financial
Times newspaper.
The Kurdistan Regional Government has
clashed with Baghdad over who has the
right to sign deals with international oil
companies to develop Iraqs resources.
wARShEFANA, LIbYA
Rival militias clashed on the outskirts
of the Libyan capital for a fourth day
Sunday in the deadliest and most
sustained violence since the capture and
killing of Moammar Gadhafi last month.
The fighting, which has killed at least
13 people since late last week, raised
new concerns about the ability of Libyas
transitional government to disarm
thousands of fighters and restore order
after an eight-month civil war.
Libyas interim leader, Mustafa Abdul-
Jalil, said his National Transitional
Council brought together elders from
the feuding areas the coastal city of
Zawiya and the nearby tribal lands of
Warshefana over the weekend and that
the dispute has been resolved. I want to
assure the Libyan people that everything
is under control, he said Sunday.
However, as he spoke, fighting
continued.
Heavy gunfire and
explosions of rocket-
propelled grenades
were heard over hours
Sunday.

A Russian cosmonaut says the three-
man U.S.-Russian crew are thinking
positively as they prepare to blast off on
a delayed mission to the International
Space Station.
The mission had been delayed for
two months after the failed launch of
an unmanned Progress cargo ship in
August. The failure was blamed on a
manufacturing flaw and cast doubt on
the future of manned flights because
the upper stage of the Soyuz booster
rocket that carries the cargo ships into
orbit is similar to that used to launch
astronauts.
The way was cleared after another
Progress lifted off successfully on Oct.
30.
We have no black thoughts and full
confidence in our technology, cosmonaut
Anton Shkaplerov told journalists at the
Russian-leased Baikonur Cosmodrome
in Kazakhstan, where he, fellow Russian
Anatoly Ivanishin and NASA astronaut
Dan Burbank were preparing for the
launch.

Millennial votersan impor-
tant age demographic of 18 to 29
year olds that helped the president
win ofce in the last electionare
not as excited for Obama as they
were in 2008, according to a Nov.
3 survey from the Pew Research
Center.
Nothing is really diferent.
People in my generation wanted
Obama to represent the middle
class and he hasnt, said Caleb
Wilson, a junior from Winfeld.
Wilson said that many young
voters blindly followed the me-
dias lead in their love for Obama.
He said that many students his
age have come to the stark realiza-
tion that Obama is just like all the
other politicians in Washington,
D.C.
Were not stupid. We see that,
he said. We want someone difer-
ent from the status quo.
Bill Lacy, di-
rector of the
Dole Institute
for Politics, said
Obama in 2008
reminded many
students of their
favorite profes-
sors, someone
who was extraor-
dinarily smart,
well spoken and orientated toward
bipartisanship in fxing problems
in Washington.
Tings really havent changed
in Washington, D.C., Lacy said.
We can debate whether thats the
Democrats or Republicans fault,
but typically the person in charge
gets blamed for that.
However, Obama didnt mes-
merize all young voters three
years ago. Jordan Gripe, a se-
nior from Shawnee, said she saw
through Obamas hype and didnt
believe his economic ideas would
work. She thinks that millennial
voters were blinded by Obamas
campaign.
A lot of people were defnitely
excited about him. I attribute that
to that whole idea of Yes We Can,
she said. People rallied around
the idea of change because thats
what our generation was really
excited about, even if they dont
know what that change would be.
Te excitement didnt stem from
political knowledge.
Brenen Zey, a junior from
Overland Park, agreed that the
excitement of young voters for
Obama has died down, but she
thinks thats because people are
expecting too much, too soon.
She blames a stubborn economy
that has been very hard to turn
around.
Change takes time. Its not
instant. We were excited but its
taking a little longer than some
would like, she said. Te econo-
my being what it is has dampened
a lot of peoples
excitement.
A sof econ-
omy and lack
of enthusiasm
of young vot-
ers may spell
four and done
for Obama.
Lacy sees strik-
ing similarities
between Obama and President
Ronald Reagan. Both presidents
drummed up great support from
younger voters and both candi-
dates faced bad economies when
the frst won ofce. In 1981, Lacy
said Reagan faced more than 9 per-
cent unemployment, but he was
able to ride a 6 percent growth in
the economy in 1982 that helped
him win re-election in 1984 with
a 49-state landslide.
Economists predict next years
economic growth to be at 3 per-
cent, which might not be good
enough to win, Lacy said.
Lacy said the Obama has a cou-
ple of issues that will make his bid
for re-election difcult. One, the
16-point margin among young
voters he holds over Mitt Rom-
ney will shrink as the presidential
election approaches. Two, young
voters are not predicted to partici-
pate to the same degree in 2012 as
they did in 2008.
Its going to be a very tough re-
election campaign. Its going to be
a very ugly campaign, Lacy said.
Te president is going to essen-
tially depict his opponent as not
qualifed or not prepared to be
president.

Earthquakes a chance
to prepare for damage
when it comes to the threat of
damage and chaos from disasters
in Kansas, earthquakes rank nearly
at the bottom of the states list of
concerns.
earthquakes rank 21st out of 22
potential hazards listed in the of-
ficial state response plan by the
Kansas Division of emergency Man-
agement. only fog is a lower threat
than earthquakes, though the misty
shrouds are more frequently found in
Kansas.
the recent spate of earthquakes in
oklahoma was felt throughout south-
ern Kansas and as far north as the
Kansas city metro area with little or
no damage reported.
Maj. gen. lee tafanelli, state ad-
jutant general, said the states fre-
quent tornadoes and flooding the
top two hazards in the state give
Kansas ample opportunity to train,
equip and plan for the types of dam-
age and injuries that could be caused
by strong seismic activity.
Many of the functions are the
same, tafanelli said. theres no
prevention to it.
according to the state response
plan, Kansas ranks 45th among
states in the amount of damage
caused by earthquakes each year,
with the Kansas city, Mo., metropoli-
tan area ranking 35th among 35 ma-
jor metro areas in the country.

Dancers in the Suzanne Farrell Bal-
let glided across the Lied Center stage
Saturday, but the choreography the
dancers performed had actually been
painstakingly recreated.
Farrells company, which just cel-
ebrated its 10th anniversary, is best
known for performing the works of
the late George Balanchine, one of
the most prominent choreographers
in American ballet history. Afer Bal-
anchines death, Farrell, one of Bal-
anchines most celebrated muses, car-
ried on his legacy by piecing together
dances that would have otherwise
been lost and bringing them to new
audiences.
Michael Ann Mullikin, general
manager of the Suzanne Farrell Ballet
based in Washington D.C., discussed
the challenges of re-staging decades-
old ballets.
She has been taking bits and pieces
of ballets and putting them back to-
gether, Mullikin said.
For references, Farrell used her own
memories of the routines as well as
video shot by her family and archived
footage.
So far, 10 ballets have been pieced
together, but the frst ballet performed
Saturday night, called Haief Diverti-
mento, was resurrected by a dance
fgure closer to home. Te late Todd
Bolender, who was in the ballets origi-
nal cast and died in 2006, revived the
piece when he was the artistic director
of the Kansas City Ballet.
Two of the ballets from the com-
panys performance were created es-
pecially for Farrell by Balanchine.
Meditation, an emotionally charged
dance between a couple dressed in
simple clothing rather than the opu-
lent costumes of other numbers, was
the frst piece the late choreographer
ever crafed for his muse. Years later,
he lef it to Farrell afer his death. Her
company is the only in the world that
performs it.
Te dance was a favorite of Emma
Springer, a junior from Wichita.
Tat one seemed more personal,
she said.
Springer said the costumes and the
dancing were beautiful, but the initial
idea behind attending the ballet was
for her and her friends to do some-
thing diferent.
We wanted to get all fancy and go
to the ballet, Springer said.
Rae Jacobs, a junior from Holton,
also enjoyed Meditation, but her own
ties to dance were what made the show
especially signifcant.
I danced for 11 years, Holton said.
And I have a friend who does ballet in
New York, so its cool to come to this
here.

RALLYING thE tROOPS
Apparently the new White
House swag rule doesnt apply to
diplomatic protocol.
First lady Michelle Obama
presented sterling silver orchid
brooches and sterling silver cuf-
finks with Hawaiian Koa Wood to
the leaders and spouses who gath-
ered for the Asia-Pacifc Economic
Cooperation forum.
Te gifs came only days afer
President Barack Obama signed
an executive order banning souve-
nirs that federal agencies buy with
taxpayer money to promote their
work items like cofee cups, T-
shirts and pens.
Te efort was part of a broader
executive order to cut $4 billion
in waste to redirect the money to
more pressing needs and make
government more efcient.
World leaders commonly ex-
change gifs as an act of goodwill
and diplomacy. Te White House
said the gifs represented a dis-
tinct part of the aloha spirit and
helps forge new bridges of friend-
ship and understanding.
Te intricately designed orchid
brooch was handcrafed in sterling
silver by Hawaiian artist Wayne
Keeth while the cufinks were de-
signed by Kara Ross, using wood
from Hawaiian woodturner Keith
Maile. Te cufinks are engraved
with the words: Made Exclusively
for Michelle Obama.
When you pop the question to
your future wife, it never hurts to
be from Hawaii.
Michelle Obama said it certainly
helped her husbands cause when
he asked her to marry him two de-
cades ago.
Tats really one of the reasons
I married Barack, the frst lady
joked during a luncheon for spous-
es at the APEC forum. When I
realized that this is where wed be
spending the holidays, I said, Yes
I love you!
Te Obamas typically spend
the Christmas holidays in Oahu,
the island where the president was
born and spent most of his child-
hood.
Our family has the privilege
of coming here the burden of
coming back here every year, Mrs.
Obama said to laughter.
Even amid the swaying palm
trees and blue skies, Obama had
plenty of reminders of politics
back on the mainland.
At the entrance of the J.W. Mar-
riott Resort Hotel, where Obama
addressed APEC leaders, four little
girls each held up a piece of paper
with letters spelling out the name
C-A-I-N, a reference to Repub-
lican presidential contender Her-
man Cain.
During a gala dinner on Satur-
day night, meanwhile, Hawaiian
guitarist Makana wore a home-
made Occupy with Aloha T-
shirt, a reference to the Occupy
Wall Street movement.
During his performance, Maka-
na repeatedly sang a protest ballad
called We Are the Many, which
included lyrics such as Te lob-
byists at Washington do gnaw ...
and until they are purged we wont
withdraw.
Friends say that Scott Olsen, the
Iraq War veteran who sufered a
serious head injury during a police
raid on the Occupy Oakland en-
campment, has been released from
the hospital.
Olsen sufered a skull fracture
during tear-gas flled clashes be-
tween police and demonstrators on
Oct. 25.
Te 24-year-old Marine Corps
veteran had been attending Occupy
protests in San Francisco and Oak-
land afer working his day job as a
security sofware engineer.
Dottie Guy of Iraq Veterans
Against the War said Sunday that
Olsen was released last week. She
says he can now read and write, but
still has trouble talking.
Wall Street protesters nation-
wide have rallied around Olsens
plight. A second Iraq War veteran
was hospitalized earlier this month
afer Oakland ofcials said he was
hurt during another round of pro-
tests, but has since been released.
Te efort to recall Wisconsins
controversial Republican gover-
nor is expected to begin Tuesday,
although his opponents have yet
to come up with a candidate to
replace him.
Te recall efort comes in re-
sponse to a Wisconsin law passed
earlier this year that efectively
ended collective bargaining for
most public workers. Gov. Scott
Walkers proposal sparked weeks
of protests that drew tens of
thousands of people to the state
Capitol, and two Republican state
senators who supported it were
ousted in recalls last summer.
Seven other lawmakers targeted
for their support or opposition of
the law survived recall elections.
Walker, who was elected last
fall, isnt eligible for recall un-
til he has been in ofce for one
year. Democrats have been work-
ing closely with union leaders on
the efort, and they plan to kick
of their petition drive Tuesday.
Tey must gather more than
540,000 signatures by Jan. 17 to
force a recall election.
Te governor has already
started raising money to fght
the recall thanks to a donor who
fled paperwork on Nov. 4 for a
fake recall efort. Te maneuver
allowed Walker to begin accept-
ing unlimited donations.
Nicole Larson, spokeswoman
for the state Republican Party,
responded to the recall efort by
saying Walker remains com-
pletely focused on the task at
hand saving taxpayer dollars
and creating a business friendly
climate so Wisconsinites can get
back to work.
Meanwhile, potential candi-
dates to replace Walker are jock-
eying for position behind the
scenes and preparing for a prima-
ry to narrow the feld if the party
doesnt unite behind one person.
Te possibilities include former
U.S. Rep. Dave Obey, Milwaukee
Mayor Tom Barrett and state Sen.
Jon Erpenbach one of 14 state
senators who fed to Illinois in an
ultimately futile efort to block
a vote on Walkers bill. Former
Dane County Executive Kathleen
Falk also could be a contender.
Her home area includes Madi-
son, the state capital.
Democratic strategists would
love to convince one of the two
biggest names in Democratic
politics former U.S. Sen. Russ
Feingold and retiring U.S. Sen.
Herb Kohl to run, but they be-
lieve they could win with a can-
didate who has some name rec-
ognition even if the person has
never held statewide ofce.
I think people really do, at
some level, believe a rocking
chair with nobody sitting in it
would be a better governor than
Scott Walker, Democratic Party
strategist Sachin Chheda said.
Marty Beil, executive director
of the 23,000-member Wisconsin
State Employees Union, said hes
not worried about Democrats
not yet coalescing around a can-
didate.
I believe that we get the signa-
tures, then we get the candidate,
Beil said.
But former Democratic Party
chairman Joe Wineke said that
although he didnt feel a rush to
choose a nominee, some party
members are very nervous about
the lack of a defned candidate
as petitions are being circulated.
Neither Feingold nor Kohl ap-
pears interested. Feingold, who
lost his bid for reelection last year,
said he wouldnt run for anything
in 2012, and Kohls spokesman
has said the 76-year-old senator
has no desire to run. Hes retiring
when his Senate term ends next
year.
Obey said he would like to see
Kohl or Barrett run to replace
Walker, but if they dont, he wont
rule out running himself. Te
73-year-old served more than 40
years in Congress and was a pow-
erful force behind the scenes in
Democratic politics for decades.
Well cross if we come to it,
Obey said. Right now, my main
purpose is to try to convince one
of them to run and see to it that
people remember theres a huge
amount at stake and we cannot
aford to have the opposition to
the governor split in diferent di-
rections.
To that end, he said the pri-
ority must be making it clear to
the public that the recall efort is
moving forward.
Te issue is Scott Walker,
Obey said. Te issue is not can-
didate A or candidate B.

THE NExT PANEL
Nick Sambaluk Tailands ailing king the
worlds longest-reigning monarch
recently sufered a health prob-
lem that caused him to temporarily
lose consciousness, his daughter re-
vealed, linking the incident to stress
over the countrys food crisis.
News that the health of 83-year-
old King Bhumibol Adulyadej took
what Princess Chulabhorn de-
scribed as a brief turn for the worse
comes as foods have inundated
much of Tailand, including parts
of Bangkok and its suburbs. More
than 500 people have died, damage
is estimated at several billion dol-
lars and central Bangkok remains
threatened.
Chulabhorn, the kings young-
est daughter, said Friday during
a visit to food victims in Non-
thaburi province north of Bang-
kok that King Bhumibol had gone
into shock and lost consciousness
afer sufering abdominal bleed-
ing and a sharp drop in his blood
pressure. She said that about 800
cc of blood had been found in his
bowel movements.
Chulabhorn said the king re-
turned to normal health afer be-
ing treated at the hospital where
he has been staying for more than
two years, according to the ofcial
royal news broadcast Friday night.
Te king, who took the throne in
1946, was originally hospitalized
on Sept. 19, 2009, with a lung in-
fammation. Ofcial statements
said he remained at the hospital
for physical therapy and nourish-
ment to recover his strength.
In May this year, he had an
operation to relieve a condition
that made him walk unsteadily. A
statement issued at the time said
the spinal tap procedure was to
relieve a condition common in
the elderly an excessive level
of cerebrospinal fuid resulting in
pressure on the brain.
Chulabhorn said Friday that
afer the May operation, the king
seemed to be at ease until the
food crisis. Te king has been
shown from time to time on tele-
vision speaking sometimes with
difculty at royal functions held
at the hospital.
Chulabhorn said doctors told
her the recent bleeding could have
been caused by concern over the
fooding.
So I asked the nurse what he
had been doing in the past few
days, Chulabhorn said. It turned
out that he had been watching
news.

FROM
ONLY
Remember when the only
thing we associated with Herman
Cain was his 9-9-9 tax plan?
Ever since Politico reported on
Oct. 31 that the GOP presidential
candidate faced accusations of
sexual harassment while he was
head of the National Restaurant
Association, Cains catchy policy
proposals have taken a back seat
to questions about his personal
behavior.
Even though at least four
women have lobbed accusations
against Cain, the candidate and
his supporters remain unfazed.
Te charges are nothing more
than ginned-up controversies
started by the Democrat ma-
chine, Cain said in a Nov. 8 press
conference.
Never mind that when the Po-
litico report frst surfaced, Cain
pointed the fnger at fellow can-
didate Gov. Rick Perry, R-Tex.,
as the source of the allegations.
Cain, who more than once has
made bold claims (including
that Occupy Wall Street is a con-
spiracy hatched in the Obama
White House) while admitting he
had no evidence for them, has
apparently uncovered the real
source of his troubles.
Never mind that Sharon Bi-
alek, one of Cains accusers, is a
Republican active in the tea party
movement. Years ago, she prob-
ably registered with the GOP and
attended tea party events just so
she could seem more believable
when she aired charges of sexual
assault against Cain. Kind of like
how Barack Obamas parents
probably conspired in 1961 to
have a Hawaii birth certifcate and
newspaper birth announcement
printed for their son, despite his
really being born in Kenya. Or
Indonesia, or wherever it was.
Never mind that Republican
candidates, like former Govs.
Mitt Romney, R-Mass., and Jon
Huntsman, R-Utah, are starting
to raise questions about Cains
behavior. (Of course, if the tea
party gives Romney enough hell
for taking on Cain, hell probably
revert to form and take back his
statement that the allegations are
serious.)
Not only is Cain furious with
the scheming Democrat ma-
chine, which seems to be power-
ful enough to derail presidential
candidacies but cant quite keep
Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., in
line, hes also fed up with his cow-
ardly, anonymous accusers.
I will not be deterred by false,
anonymous, incorrect accusa-
tions, Cain said in his press con-
ference.
Never mind that Bialek and
Karen Kraushaar, another one
of Cains accusers, have publicly
come forward with their accusa-
tions.
Cain, who claims he has no rec-
ollection of ever meeting Bialek,
expresses concerns about her
credibility. Shes a single mom!
She has shaky fnances! She got
her a new hairdo before her press
conference with attorney Gloria
Allred! She hired Gloria Allred!
Never mind that women who
ft Bialeks profle single, fnan-
cially insecure, and dependent
are the women most vulnerable
to sex crimes. Must we demand
that Cains accusers be married
with two and a half children and
a white picket fence?
And never mind that Cain has
hired a celebrity lawyer of his
own: L. Lin Wood, whose client
list includes Kobe Bryant and
Howard K. Stern, better known
as the late Playmate Anna Nicole
Smiths live-in pal.
Its pointless to ask whether
these accusations will hurt Cain.
He never had a chance of being
the nominee. I know, I know;
Im showing my utter misun-
derstanding of Cains authentic,
unique appeal as a non-politician
and businessman. But a Repub-
lican who continually revises
his position on abortion rights,
boasts about his ignorance of
international afairs, and decides
to air an ad in which his top aide
pufs smoke into the camera is
not a serious candidate. Cains
handling of his sex scandal only
punctuates the point.

Afer Drew Ryan Anderson, a
notable Jayhawk enthusiast and
recent graduate from the School
of Journalism and Mass Com-
munications passed away on
Oct. 1, plans were quickly put
in place to establish a memorial
fund in his name.
Anderson, 22, from Kansas
City, Kan. graduated from the
University of Kansas in May
2011. He sufered from muscu-
lar dystrophy since childhood
and despite being a student
confned to a motorized scooter,
Anderson lived independently
in Lewis Hall and was an inspi-
ration to those who knew him.
He worked as a copy chief for
the Kansan and interned for the
Lawrence Journal-World. Along
with these accomplishments,
Anderson was known frst and
foremost as a die-hard KU
sports fan that wore crimson
and blue with a devout sense of
pride.
In order to recognize his
fercely positive attitude and his
refusal to complain, KU Endow-
ment will administer the memo-
rial fund in honor of Anderson.
Gifs made to KU Endowment
in his memory will be placed
in a holding fund until they
reach $5,000. At that time, the
person (donor) who established
the account will name the fund
and designate its purpose. Te
funds current name is the Drew
Anderson Memorial Fund.
Te minimum amount of
money needed to endow an
award fund requires $10,000,
and the amount needed to en-
dow an undergraduate scholar-
ship fund is $30,000. Students
and alumni should donate
whatever they can in order to
facilitate such a good cause.
According to Lisa Scheller, a
spokeswoman for KU Endow-
ment, once the fund is endowed,
its earnings will beneft its des-
ignated purpose in perpetuity,
which means that a journalism
student will receive fnancial
support every year, now and in
the future, in Drews name.
Many generations of stu-
dents will beneft from this fund.
In this way, Drews memory will
last forever at the journalism
school, Scheller said .
If enough funds are raised
to create an award fund, the
awards will be given to journal-
ism students that exemplify the
character attributes Anderson
possessed. A committee within
the journalism school will de-
termine the recipients.
Anyone can contribute to
a KU Endowment fund; so in
memory of Drew Anderson,
help us honor this model stu-
dent by donating to the fund.
Call the KU Endowment ofce
at (785) 832-7400 and say that
you want to donate to the Drew
Anderson fund.
Stefanie Penn for the Kansan
Editorial Board
I love the University of Kan-
sas. Te professors here are some
of the best in the country, I have
a multitude of opportunities in
and outside the classroom and
I meet many interesting people.
But ever since freshmen year, the
University that I love has been
tearing a hole in my pocket and
taking my money.
While Kansas is relatively
cheap compared to private col-
leges, it makes up for the low tu-
ition by excessively imposing fees
upon students. I dont feel like
the University genuinely cares
about my education; instead Im
a giant dollar sign. Heres some
of the fees and practices I take is-
sue with:
Parking: While there is a need
for parking tickets in some in-
stances, Kansas goes above and
beyond to ticket and charge for
parking. For one, if I spend $100
to $200 each semester to battle
for a parking spot on campus, I
should get to leave my car there
regardless if there is a football or
basketball game. Moving a car
from a spot because the Univer-
sity wants to make more money
of parking so non-students
dont have to walk up a hill dur-
ing game day is excessive and
ludicrous.
On the Monday and Tuesday
afer fall break, the University
decided to close campus with-
out notifying those of us in the
scholarship halls. Its completely
underhanded to ticket students
for parking on campus when
classes were not in session.
Tats subtle, KU parking, but I
see what youre doing.
Unnecessary Campus Fees:
Per semester we pay a manda-
tory $428.95 for a multitude of
services. Everything at orienta-
tion we were told was free isnt
actually free SafeRide, the rec
center, the buses on campus, the
newspapers, Student Union and
Student Senate activities, and
student legal services. We also
pay a fee for counseling and psy-
chological services.
For at least some of these ser-
vices, shouldnt we get to decide
what services we want to pay
for and use? I personally have
never used SafeRide, but I think
its a wonderful idea. If I really
needed a ride home, I wouldnt
mind calling them and paying
for a ride back to my place. If
they were too expensive, Id call
a friend. Now thats what I call
capitalism.
But instead, Im paying
around $430 for campus fees for
services, half of which many of
my peers and I dont use. Tats
about $3,400 in campus fees af-
ter four years of college. Tis
also doesnt include fees if you
take a class during the summer.
Tere really is no such thing as
a free lunch.
Study Abroad: Studying abroad
is something many students as-
pire to do during college. I have
found, though, that the general
price for studying abroad not in-
cluding spending and plane fare
to cost an arm and a leg.
I once thought about doing a
summer program through Kan-
sas, but the cost was $8,000 just
for tuition, room and board. I
then found that going on my
own to the same university or to
a diferent university costs about
half as much.
Te University shouldnt
make it impossible for students
to study abroad. Unless you are
willing to pay ridiculous prices
for a university-endorsed pro-
gram, you wont be studying
abroad anytime soon. I suggest
if you have the goal to study
abroad, do it on your own.
Resnet: It doesnt even work
half the time and its incredibly
slow. If Im paying $100 to $300
per semester for an internet pro-
vider, it better work all hours of
the day.
Transcripts: To have your tran-
scripts sent from Strong hall and
have a bureaucrat put a stamp
on an envelope, it will cost you
anywhere from $10 to $45 de-
pending on shipping method. If
you want a transcript sent elec-
tronically, same day processing,
it costs you $20. Tese high costs
dont even merit a comment.
Tere are many rea-
sons the majority of college stu-
dents accrue monumental debts
during college. Frivolous fees
like these dont help. Universi-
ties and colleges no longer put
the interests of students frst. If
they did, they would be more
concerned about a students
academic performance than a
students monetary value. How
about a little more concern for
the students who work full time
jobs just to aford tuition or the
students from out of state who
have even higher tuition costs?
Yes, this is an institution of
higher learning, but more than
anything its an institution which
unduly nickels and dimes its stu-
dents.

For 125 years, the Rock
Chalk Chant has stood out
from the cheers of other uni-
versities because it is so difer-
ent. Others bluster and scream.
Te Rock Chalk Chant is slow,
eerie, haunting. Te pre-game
chant causes foreboding in op-
ponents. Its relatively new use
as a victory chant at the end
of games is spine-tingling and
easily heard on TV, even from
a small group at away games.
Te Rock Chalk Chant is
now being destroyed by those
who whoop and holler during
the chant. Only in the last few
years has anyone interrupt-
ed the pre-game chant with
whoops afer each verse. Be-
fore, there was just spooky si-
lence between verses. Tis year,
the whooping has infected the
victory chant during the last
minute of games. I watched
the Ft. Hays game from home,
and the Rock Chalk Chant
could hardly be heard at the
end because of all the whoops
between verses.
Some changes in tradition
are fne. Tis one is not! Dont
let KUs hallmark cheer be-
come just like everyone elses.
Stop the whoop and save the
Rock Chalk Chant!

Rock Chalk Chant
By Alexis Knutsen

MORELIA, Mexico (AP)
Mexicans voted in the western
state of Michoacan in a crucial
political test Sunday for President
Felipe Calderon in his home state,
where his sister sought the gover-
nors post.
Voters also were electing 40 fed-
eral congressional representatives
and 112 mayors following dozens
of drug cartel-related attacks over
the last two years targeting local
ofcials in the state.
Te vote count was going very
slowly Sunday night. With less
than less than 4 percent of the
polling stations reporting, the
governors race was a dead heat.
Te election was being watched
as an indicator for Mexicos presi-
dential election next year, for
which opinion polls have been
indicating that Calderons con-
servative National Action Party,
or PAN, will struggle to retain the
presidency.
Te vote results also would re-
fect more clearly on the president,
whose sister, Luisa Maria Cocoa
Calderon, ran for the governor-
ship in the familys home state
where the president launched his
ofensive against drug cartels in
late 2006.
Luisa Maria Calderon prom-
ised to advance her brothers anti-
drug campaign and led in most
opinion polls going into the vote,
the last state election before the
presidential contest in July. A vic-
tory would boost the morale of the
PAN, which has held the presiden-
cy since 2000 but has been hurt
recently by voter fatigue over drug
violence.
Such violence has been a main
concern in Michoacan and many
people feared it could disrupt Sun-

dent of the lefist Revolutionary
Democratic Party, or PRD, said his
party sympathizers in a mountain-
ous zone plagued by drug violence
were being intimidated by orga-
nized crime gangs and pressured
not to vote. Zambrano did not go
into details at a news conference
Sunday.
Residents of the rural city of
Cheran refused to let poll workers
into their town amid demands for
an election that they said would
respect their customs and tradi-
tions. Te indigenous Purepecha
people who live in Cheran have in
recent months wielded rifes and
mounted roadblocks keeping out
suspected illegal loggers and drug
trafckers.
Te Michoacan Electoral Insti-
tute said in a news release Sunday
that ofcials were still unable to
carry out elections in Cheran and
were determining how the 16,000
residents there will elect their lead-
ers. Voting continued elsewhere in
the state, despite the problems in
Cheran.
In the city of La Piedad, a local
newspaper published on Sunday
an unsigned note blaming the
PAN for drug killings and threat-
ening the partys supporters. News
reports said the newspaper had
been forced to publish the warn-
ing.
Dont wear T-shirts or PAN
advertising because we dont want
to confuse you and have innocent
people die, read the note, which
was also circulated by email.
It was not immediately clear
who sent the email or published
the newspaper ad, which came 11
days afer La Piedad Mayor Ricar-
do Guzman was shot dead while
handing out leafets for several
PAN candidates, including Luisa
Maria Calderon. No arrests have
been made in the attack.
Twitter users claiming to be-
long to the Anonymous hackers
movement said they were behind
an attack on the website of a party
backing Luisa Maria Calderon.
Te tweets also said hackers at-
tacked the Michoacan Electoral
Institutes website, the site where
election results are announced and
which had been down for hours.
Te PAN has yet to win a gov-
ernorship in Michoacan, and the
PRD has dominated federal ofces
and the presidential vote there
since 2000. Local ofces have been
a toss-up between the PRD and
the Institutional Revolutionary
Party, or PRI.
Calderon faced PRD candi-
date Silvano Aureoles Conejo
and Morelia Mayor Fausto Vallejo
Figueroa of the PRI.
Te PRI sought a victory in
Michoacan to build momentum
for regaining the presidency,
which it lost to the PAN in 2000
afer 71 years of single-party rule.
Te PRI so far is felding the most
popular pre-candidate in the pres-
idential race, former Mexico state
Gov. Enrique Pena Nieto.
Whoever wins, their party will
claim it helps for 2012, especially
the current underdogs PAN
and PRD, said Shannon ONeil, a
Latin America expert for the U.S.-
based think tank the Council on
Foreign Relations.
Te once-dominant PRD
trailed the other two major parties
in the Michoacan governors race,
according to opinion polls. As
Michoacans governing party for
a decade, the PRD drew criticism
for the states drug violence.

FAIRBORN, Ohio (AP) A
house exploded in western Ohio
on Saturday, sending six people,
including three young children, to
hospitals with burns and leaving
one person missing, ofcials said.
Work was being done on the du-
plexs water line when the gas line
was struck and ruptured, causing
the explosion, Fairborn Fire Mar-
shal Carl Day said. It is unclear
whether anyone died in the blast.
Investigators were still piecing to-
gether how many people lived in
the duplex and where they were
when the explosion occurred.
Te house was demolished,
throwing debris and the victims
including an infant into the
yard. Hours later, crews were still
searching the rubble for the unac-
counted person, believed to be an
older man, Day said.
Neighbor Cybil Poole told the
Dayton Daily News (http://bit.ly/
rJOh4f) that the explosion, which
occurred 100 meters from her
house, felt like a car hitting it. She
said she saw the infant was burned,
bloodied and covered in glass, and
some of the other victims were still
on fre.
It was horrible. It was like a
movie scene. You see this huge fre-
ball and you see people come out of
it on fre, she said. If everybody
made it out of there alive, its truly
a blessing.
Another neighbor, Paula Corelli,
told the newspaper that she was al-
most hit by a fying piece of wood
from the explosion. When she saw
two adults running down the side-
walk carrying three bloodied chil-
dren, she ofered to take them while
the adults returned to the scene.
Medics told me to keep them
awake because they had head in-
juries, so we sang to them, me and
another woman, Corelli said. And
we didnt let them look back. It was
still on fre and there was a lot of
blood.
Some of the victims were airlif-
ed to hospitals.
Day said four juveniles were
among the injured: three children,
ages 1, 3 and 5, as well as a teen-
ager.
Tey were taken to Dayton Chil-
drens Medical Center, where the
infant was listed in critical condi-
tion. Another child was still being
examined, while two were expected
to be treated and released, spokes-
man Terry Fink said.
Te adult victims were taken to
Miami Valley Hospital, where a su-
pervisor declined to describe the
extent of their injuries, citing pri-
vacy laws.

Even with a packed house at

Jayhawk Soccer Complex, Kansas
soccer could not convert that en-
ergy into a victory against Georgia
in the frst round of the NCAA
Soccer Championship, falling 2-0
on Sunday to fnish the season 11-
9-1.
Troughout the match, the Jay-
hawks were limited on their scor-
ing chances, mustering only four
shots on goal in 90 minutes of
play.
Ofensively were normally
pretty good, but today we just
didnt create that many goal scor-
ing opportunities, coach Mark
Francis said.
Georgia defenders frustrated
the Kansas ofense knocking away
any available chances.
I dont think we were playing
the right fnal ball in order to get a
good scoring opportunity, junior
forward Whitney Berry said.
Berry was the leading attacker
for the Jayhawks on the day with
three shots on goal. She also played
all 90 minutes of the contest.
In the frst half, Kansas kept the
ball inside Georgias area of the
feld but could not fnd a good look
at the goal.
Georgia coach Steve Holeman
said afer the game that the Geor-
gia and Kansas play very similar
styles of soccer causing a tempo-
rary stalemate.
With the Jayhawks and Bull-
dogs mirroring each other during
the frst 45 minutes, both teams
went into halfime hoping to break
the tie.
In the 51st minute, Georgia f-
nally found a seam in the defense
when senior defender Jenna Buck-
ley connected with senior forward
Ashley Miller for the frst goal of
the game.
Seven minutes later, the Bull-
dogs added another goal when
sophomore midfelder Alexa
Newfeld dribbled through the
Jayhawk defenders and scored a
well hit, lef-footed goal to put the
score at 2-0.
Kansas attempted to climb back
into the match, but could not fnd
any chances near the net.
Teir best opportunity came in
the last minute of the game when
Kansas freshman forward Ingrid
Vidal struck a ball that few near
the lef side of the net. However,
Georgias junior goalkeeper Ash-
ley Baker made an impressive save
that negated the chance.
We werent very efcient with
the balls in the fnal third and I
think it made it a little easier on
them defensively, Francis said.
Tis was the third time this year
the Jayhawks had been shut out.
Te frst came against Texas A&M
on Oct. 2 and the second agaisnt
Oklahoma Oct. 28.
Although a disappointing end to
the season, playing in the NCAA
tournament was a memorable ex-
perience for the Jayhawks as their
frst tournament berth since 2008.
Tey hope the experience will fuel
them through spring training.
Itll give us that little hunger
and that little edge to come back
and compete for more next year,
Francis said.
And with 20 of the 23 players
returning, Kansas might be in an
even better position by next No-
vember.
I really think we can accom-
plish some things next year that no
other Kansas team has ever done,
Francis said.

enior Day is supposed to be
the one game where the stu-
dent body can celebrate four
years of dedication to the football
program, but the scene at Memo-
rial Stadium on Saturday was as
disappointing in the stands as on
the feld.
Kansas struggles have been
a well-documented embarrass-
ment this season, but if there was
one game that the students really
needed to show the team support,
Saturday was it.
I could not help but feel sorry for
Jeremiah Hatch, Tim Biere and Ste-
ven Johnson as they took the feld
for the Senior Day pre-game cere-
mony only to see a virtually vacant
student section in the backdrop. I
realize that the basketball season
started Friday, which means that
Kansas football goes on the back
burner until September; however,
the Kansas fan base owes the se-
niors more than what it showed on
Saturday.
As this season progressed, coach
Turner Gills support among the
Kansas faithful decreased dramati-
cally. Te dissipating attendance
is probably the most telling aspect
of where Gill stands amongst the
Kansas faithful. If Athletics Direc-
tor Sheahon Zenger needed any
more reason to make a coaching
change, all he had to do was gaze
at Memorial Stadiums crowd; the
support for this team and coaching
staf is gone.
Afer attending Saturdays game
against No. 25 Baylor, its hard to
believe that Kansas football once
competed amongst the elites, win-
ning the Orange Bowl in 2008.
While the 2011 Jayhawks have
taken defensive defciencies and
turned it into an art form under
defensive coordinator Vic Shealy,
the players have never quit work-
ing and fghting for wins.
As Gill perhaps hopelessly tries
to retain his job, he not only needs
to show improvement, but he also
needs to win games. Kansas has yet
to win a road game in Gills tenure,
but the Jayhawks nearly ended that
streak against Iowa State last week,
losing 13-10. Kansas looked to sus-
tain much of last weeks momen-
tum against Baylor but it would all
end on a sour note.
Te Jayhawks absolutely domi-
nated the frst three quarters of the
game, leading 24-3 in the fourth
quarter. Although the game was
not televised, word clearly spread of
Kansas strong showing on Senior
Day, as the stands began to fll up
midway through the third quarter.
To the disappointment of the then-
nearly full student section, Kansas
would surrender a 21-point lead in
eight minutes and lose in overtime.
Saturdays showing painted a de-
pressing picture of the current state
of Kansas football and if Zenger
doesnt make a change now, more
seniors will see their hard work go
unrecognized in the future.
Success on the football feld will
equal fans in the stands; its as sim-
ple as that.
Edited by Josh Kantor
Sitting just three yards shy of the
Jayhawks frst Big 12 win of the
year, Turner Gill decided to end the
game in its frst overtime period. He
could have prolonged it and kicked
an extra point that would have sent
the game into a second overtime,
but instead, he went for the two-
point conversion and the win.
Te decision for Gill and his staf
was an easy one. Te Jayhawks are
not bowl eligible; they were on a
seven game losing streak and Gills
job had come further in to question
every week.
We gave it a shot and you cant
fault us for that, sophomore quar-
terback Jordan Webb said. We were
going for the win. I wouldnt have
done it any other way and I dont
think anyone else would have.
Kansas came out in the shot-
gun, hoping to see man coverage
from Baylor. When Baylor lined up,
Kansas saw exactly what it wanted.
Webb received the snap and threw
the ball to his frst option, Tim
Biere. When the pass didnt fall into
Bieres hands, Kansas fell, losing 31-
30.
Baylor cornerback, sophomore
Joe Williams, lef his man to break
up Webbs pass and give Baylor the
victory.
Te play is one of many that of-
fensive coordinator Chuck Long
wishes he had back.
Ill do a lot of coulda, shoulda,
woulda tonight for sure, Long
said.
Of the eight losses Kansas had
sufered this season, this one may
had been the toughest. Kansas blew
a 24-3 fourth quarter lead. Tey al-
lowed three Baylor touchdowns in
the games fnal 12 minutes. Baylor
had the ball for just three minutes
and thirty fve seconds during that
time span.
Its probably the lowest Ive seen
them, defensive coordinator Vic
Shealy said of his players.
Losing on the fnal play of the
game is not how any team wants to
send of its seniors. For the 15 Jay-
hawk seniors playing in their fnal
home game at Memorial Stadium,
the close loss couldnt have been
any worse.
It appeared as if the Jayhawks
were going to take a 17-0 lead
into halfime, scoring their second
touchdown of the game with 26
seconds lef in the half. But, a ques-
tionable face mask penalty against
Kansas allowed the Bears to hit a
37-yard feld goal as time expired.
And the bad luck for Kansas
continued.
Kansas looked like it would be
the last team to have the ball, driv-
ing with less than one minute lef
in regulation. Kansas put them-
selves in favorable position and just
needed a feld goal to take the lead,
but Webb threw an interception.
Gill exploded on the sidelines. He
and the crowd begged for a pass in-
terference call. No fag was thrown
and the game went into overtime.
Sometimes it feels like were
cursed or something, Johnson
said. Nobody said a word afer the
game, usually you can hear a little
bit of whispers and stuf, but it was
completely silent in there. It was
even hard for coach Gill to talk to
us afer the game.
Te loss once again boils down
to Gill, who made the decision to
go for two. He said he just had an
instinct at the time to go for it, but
it did not work and the Jayhawks
once again sufered a loss in confer-
ence play.
We just came up a little bit
short, Gill said. It hurts.

T
he Jayhawks are out of the running
for a NCAA soccer title, Sporting
KC is ofcially done for the year
and the World Cup isnt going on again
until 2014.
Looks like its time for us all to forget
about soccer, right? As ashamed as I am
to admit it, I sometimes forget about it
for months at a time too, but that doesnt
mean Im not still a fan.
Soccers one of those sports that you
really have to love if you want to get into
it. Te biggest gripe I hear about soccer is
how someone can watch for 90 minutes
and never see a goal, or that same person
can get up and grab a drink from kitch-
en, missing only about 30 seconds of the
match, and miss a game-deciding play.
And I agree; that part of soccer does, in
fact, suck. But soccer has spontaneity, and
watching Robin van Persie (yes, Im an
Arsenal fan; sue me) drill a ball into the
upper corner of the net afer a scoreless 89
minutes is thrilling.
Its that spontaneity that keeps me com-
ing back to the sport. Just two weeks ago,
the Kansas soccer team went head-to-head
against Texas A&M in the Big 12 champi-
onship and lost afer the game came down
to penalty kicks. And for those of you who
dont know, it takes a lot for a soccer game
to come down to penalty kicks, but when
it does, you know its been a phenomenal
game.
Youre on the edge of your seat, just
waiting to see which way the goalie jumps
as the ball comes of the kickers foot. Ev-
ery once in a while, a kicker will try to go
high and into the back corner, and every
so ofen, a sneaky ground ball will try and
crawl into the net.
Its the little things that youve got to
cheer for in soccer. You cheer for a base
hit in baseball, right? Or for a frst down in
football? Te same applies for soccer. If a
defender makes a clean tackle, its exciting.
If your team gets a corner kick, youve got
to be able to appreciate that. Its not just
the goals that are exciting in soccer; its the
opportunities for them.
So yeah, I understand when people say
soccer sucks, but I heartily disagree. Were
starting to embrace the soccer-loving cul-
ture here in the States and, more specif-
cally, in Kansas. With Sporting KCs suc-
cess this year, a lot more people are fnding
that theyre fans.
But dont forget about all those great
PKs and corner kicks now that the seasons
over. Your team will be back soon enough
to wow you with more.

Bill Self has said he hopes this is
Tomas Robinsons last season at
Kansas. Although it is out of the ordi-
nary for a coach to hope his starting
power forward and All-American
candidate leaves before his senior
season, Tomas Robinsons situation
is anything but ordinary. Te strug-
gles hes faced of the court the last
11 months are well-documented,
and Robinson looks to have his eyes
set on cashing an NBA paycheck by
next summer.
With the NBA on the horizon and
the fate of this Kansas season largely
on his shoulders, he delivered in
the season opener against Towson,
fnishing with 18 points and 11 re-
bounds. It was the frst of what could
be many double-doubles this season
and it caught the eye of Towson head
coach Pat Skerry.
Hes locked in, Skerry said. Hes
a savage. He has a tremendous mo-
tor, strength and energy. Hes an
NBA talent in my opinion.
However, the ofensive onslaught
wasnt without a fair share of defen-
sive struggles. Robinson was forced
to sit for seven minutes in the frst
half afer picking up two quick fouls.
Im actually disappointed in this
game, Robinson said of his defense.
I was in the wrong place. It was on
me no matter what.
Te 18 points and 11 rebounds
didnt stop him from some more
self criticism. He said it wasnt a
good game from him at all, mainly
because his time on the bench with
foul trouble allowed Kansas to get
out-rebounded by Towson, 35 to 32.
Tat was my fault, Robinson
said. I had those two dumb fouls,
I had to sit out, and I wasnt able to
help my team rebound. Tats why
the stats dont matter, it was a bad
game.
Self agreed and said Robinson
needs to guard his man better before
he catches the ball in order to not
be in a vulnerable position to pick
up a cheap foul. He said better com-
petition would have had Robinson
fouled out fast.
Tat better competition could
come by way of No. 2 Kentucky on
Tuesday night in Madison Square
Garden in New York City. Robinson
called it just another game but Self
said the Wildcats are scary athletic.
Te obvious question is, will Fridays
early foul trouble carry over to Tues-
day nights matchup?
Not at all, Robinson said. I just
got caught in the wrong place, thats
all.
Te potential of junior for-
ward Tomas Robinson has
been no secret, even when the
Morris twins starred and start-
ed ahead of him in seasons past.
Hes not the mystery of this
years team; its the role players
behind him. In Friday nights
100-54 victory against Towson
in Allen Fieldhouse, these less-
er known pieces were the key
to an early onslaught that never
ceased.
If its possible to be under-
rated at 13th in the country, I
think Kansas is, Towson coach
Pat Skerry said.
Junior guard Travis Releford,
a complementary piece, exhib-
ited his usual high pressure de-
fense on Towson ball handlers,
which translated into ofensive
chances. He attacked the bas-
ket with quick, sharp steps and
sunk timely 3-pointers.
Afer getting a few layups,
I had confdence in my shot,
Releford said.
Coach Bill Self was unsatis-
fed with Releford in the teams
frst exhibition against Pittsburg
State, but Friday was a diferent
story.
Te same could be said for
junior forward Kevin Young,
who Self said was the teams
best rebounder against Towson.
Young slammed a few crowd-
rousing dunks and had his
strongest game of the season,
fnishing with 13 points and 7
rebounds.
Im still not sure how to re-
act afer a dunk, Young said. At
Loyola, I would pat my afro.
Despite Youngs solid efort on
the glass, Towson outrebounded
Kansas 35 to 32. Robinson said
that he should be fully responsible
for the defcit afer picking up two
fouls and spending some unex-
pected time on the bench early in
the frst half.
Only one of Robinsons 11 re-
bounds came before halfime. He
led all scorers with 18 points, but
could only be so satisfed afer a
game sprinkled with foul trouble.
He took full blame for the so-so
rebounding because he had to sit
out a good portion of the frst half
with two fouls.
Senior guard Tyshawn Taylor
and junior guard Elijah Johnson,
who missed the frst two exhibi-
tions because of suspension, re-
turned and showed of improved
jump shots. With the duo back in
the starting lineup, Self can deploy
a faster and more athletic team.
Teir presence also helped the
team protect the ball and extend
possessions. Kansas recorded 30
assists compared to just 5 turn-
overs, none surrendered in the
second half. Friday marked the
frst time that Self s team fn-
ished a half without a turnover
since an 81-68 victory against
Oklahoma on Feb. 22, 2010.
We werent as careless and I
think in large part, we had our
experienced guards out there,
Self said.
With committed on-ball de-
fense and turnover free basketball,
this kind of quick and balanced
ofensive attack could match up
well against No. 2 Kentucky in
Tuesdays New York City show-
down.
We have to go afer it like
men, Self said. Well spend our
entire next three days emphasiz-
ing that.
Kansas had to fght for its 76-64
victory in its season opener. A phys-
ical Western Michigan team slowed
down the Jayhawks, who had thrived
in transition during their two exhi-
bition games.
Te Jayhawks played without
junior forward Carolyn Davis who
was recently named as one of the top
forwards in the country by ESPN.
Davis sat on the sideline in sweats
with a boot on her right foot as she
continued to battle a stress fracture.
However, Davis sat in the frst seat
and was the frst to each huddle.
We throw it into her so much
and rely on her shooting 70 percent,
everybody feels good and we look
good, coach Bonnie Henrickson
said. Tat is not an excuse because
injuries happen and you have got to
step up and play.
Sophomore forward Tania Jack-
son was awarded the start in Davis
place. Henrickson said that with
Davis out the team has to look to
three other veterans: senior for-
ward Aishah Sutherland and junior
guards Monica Engelman and An-
gel Goodrich.
Goodrich took over the game
with the frst seven points of the
game and frst four of six in the sec-
ond half.
Henrickson has been looking
to Goodrich for a greater leader-
ship role this season. Te second-
year captain and three-year starter
stepped up accordingly, fnishing
with 13 points and seven assists. Se-
nior forward Aishah Sutherland and
junior guard Monica Engelman also
scored in double digits with 14 and
17 points respectively.
Despite double-digit scoring,
Henrickson was disappointed with
the play of Sutherland and En-
gelman.
With as many minutes as those
two have played in their career I ex-
pected more, Henrickson said. I
didnt think they gave us what they
should be able to.
Jackson stepped into Davis place
with a 16 points and 10 rebounds in
25 minutes of play. She was surprised
by the physicality of the Broncos.
We need to be more physical and
just throw a punch back, Jackson
said. We cant just sit down when
they get aggressive with us.
Goodrich took two charges and
recorded two foor burns. Despite
coming up dizzy afer a tumble in
the second half she continued to go
afer the ball aggressively.
I play for my team and if I have
to sacrifce my body I will do it,
Goodrich said.
Te Jayhawks won the rebound-
ing battle against the Broncos, 39-
35, which came as a relief to Jackson
and Goodrich afer the team strug-
gled on the boards in exhibition.
Te coaches established a reward
system last week in practice where
the players could earn a new sweat
suit if they won 70 percent of their
individual rebounding battles.
It really stands out right now
that we need to work on rebound-
ing, Goodrich said. I feel like we
are going to the boards more, but
not enough.
Kansas will host Creighton at 8
p.m. on Wednesday.

The Offciating: The Offcials reviewed eight plays in the frst half, slowing
down the pace of play considerably, then badly missed a pass-interference
call on the Jayhawks fnal drive in regulation. The Penalty would have set
the Jayhawks up for a game-winning feld goal try, but instead the play
ended in an interception.
Freshman safety Keeston Terry: Terry got turned around
in coverage in the fourth quarter, leading to a long
touchdown for Baylor as the secondary collapsed in the
fourth quarter.
Sophomore receiver Chris Omigie: Omigie had a false
start that turned a third and short into a third and long.
Webb threw an interception that ended a Jayhawk scor-
ing opportunity on the next play.
Kansas benefted from a Baylor
mistake even before kick-of. Afer
Kansas deferred its selection to the
second half, a Baylor captain chose
which end zone he wanted to de-
fend instead of receiving the ball,
giving the Jayhawks the ball at the
start of each half.
Baylors botched coin-toss call
wasnt the strangest event that oc-
curred on Saturday, but a fore-
shadowing of what would become
a surprising and memorable game
for Kansas.
It wasnt what we said we wanted
to happen, Baylor coach Art Briles
said. I was a little surprised they
didnt let us change it because the
two referees on our side asked me,
What do you want to do coach? I
said, We want the ball. Ten they
wont go out there and change it.
Te Big 12 needs to get that clari-
fed. Tat should never happen.
In the middle of the second
quarter, sophomore quarterback
Jordan Webb rolled out and tried
to throw the ball to senior tight
end Tim Biere. Webb was hit and
the ball foated into the arms of an
awaiting Baylor defender.
Webb didnt give up on the play,
instead he got up, ran down the de-
fender and laid a hit into him, jar-
ring the ball lose up into the air.
I think I just put my head to the
ball, Webb said. I just went for the
hit on the sideline, he reached it out
and I popped it out.
A quarterback forcing a fumble
happens afer turnovers by the of-
fense. What isnt seen every day is
a 308-pound behemoth of a player
tracking down the ball in the air
and catching it, while nimbly navi-
gating the sideline.
Senior center Jeremiah Hatch
did just that, preventing a Baylor
touchdown by recovering the ball
in the end zone and giving Kansas
a touchback that placed the ball at
the 20-yard line.
I surprised myself. I didnt
know I had it in me, Hatch said.
My teammates, they were happy
and thought I made a good play
and supported me.
Hatchs teammates were not as
surprised that the big man had the
moves and agility to make the play.
Hatch is a pretty athletic dude,
Webb said. Hes got great hand-
eye coordination, hes not the kind
of guy you want to go out there and
play horse with, hell embarrass
you.
Te strange feeling continued
into the second half as Kansas,
the nations last ranked defense in
yards allowed held Baylor, the na-
tions second ranked ofense in to-
tal yards to a mere 190 yards in the
frst three quarters.
Te teams regressed to their
norms in the third quarter as Bay-
lor quarterback Robert Grifn III
rediscovered his scoring ability,
throwing two touchdowns and run-
ning for one more to tie the game,
then throwing one more touch-
down in overtime of the Bears 31-
30 victory over the Jayhawks.
But even the normally reserved
Kansas coach Turner Gill stepped
out of character when he shouted
at the ofcials afer they failed to
call pass interference on the Jay-
hawks fnal ofensive snap of regu-
lation. Te overlook resulted in an
interception and ended the teams
options for a late game-winning
score.
Te referee makes the call and
thats the way it is, Gill said. I see
it one way but they had to make the
call and thats the way it goes in a
football game.
In the end, the Jayhawks 31-30
defeat did not come at the hands
of a game-winning touchdown or
feld goal, but instead on a failed
two-point conversion attempt,
quite the ftting end to a game that
began with a botched call on the
coin-toss.

how could the Jayhawks allow such big gains in the fourth? With a three-
score lead, the team has to be expecting a vertical passing attack, yet the
defense looked unprepared when Baylor started to throw downfeld.
Gill made gutsy play calls all day, going for it on fourth down, and for the
most part it worked. he seemed to turn the burners down with a 24-3 lead
going into the fourth, but with a huge collapse, the burners are back on

Te Jayhawk swimming and
diving teams lost to the rival Mis-
souri Tigers 185-102 at Robinson
Natatorium Friday night, winning
just four out of the 16 events.
Te Kansas swimmers showed
a spark as they came out and won
three straight event afer losing the
opening 400-yard medley relay.
Junior Rebecca Swank fnished
frst in the 1,000 yard-freestyle
with a time of 10:09.94. Follow-
ing Swanks win, senior captain
Shannon Garlie fnished frst in
the 200 free with a time of 1:51.93.
Freshman Deanna Marks earned
her third win in a row as she won
the 100 backstroke with a time of
56.36.
I thought we performed at
a pretty high level, said Kansas
coach Clark Campbell. Of the
three ranked teams we have swam
against this season, this was our
best performance.
Te meet could have gone dif-
ferently had the Jayhawks been at
full strength going into the meet.
Tere were four members that did
not compete because of either in-
jury or sickness.
It was unfortunate not to have
them, but Rebecca Swank had a
really big swim in the 1,000 free
and Shannon Garlie stepped up
huge in both the 100 and 200 free.
Morgan Sharp and Shelby Cox
both had really good swims and
Deanna Marks continued to im-
press, said Campbell.
Sharp claimed the only other
victory for the Jayhawks when
she won the 500 free (5:01.45).
Cox had solid performances in
her events, fnishing the 50 free in
24.81 and the 100 free in 53.91.
I dont think the scoreboard
showed how great we did, said
Cox. We all swam really well in-
dividually.
Tere were other strong per-
formances including the transfer
from Russia, Svetlana Golovchun.
Golovchun fnished second in the
50 free (24.13) making it three
straight meets that she has fnished
second or better. Stephanie Payne
fnished second in the 400 IM
(4:26.99) and Kath Liggett came
in third in the 100 fy (59.17).
Te two divers had solid perfor-
mances with a second place fnish
in the three-meter dive by Alyssa
Golden (246.96). Christy Cash
fnished third in the one-meter
with a time of 265.43.

C
Te mens and womens cross
country teams failed to move on
to the NCAA Nationals on Sat-
urday. Te mens team fnished in
eighth place in the NCAA Region-
al meet, and the women fnished
in ninth place. Despite the disap-
pointing results, there were some
bright spots on the fnal day of the
Jayhawks cross country season.
I think were better than what
we showed today, assistant coach
Michael Whittlesey said. Its
great to see senior Kara (Windis-
che) go out on probably her best
collegiate race and end things on
a high note. Its tough though, to
know theres still another cross
country race this season that we
wont be at.
Seniors Rebeka Stowe and Kara
Windische were both recognized
as members of the All-Region
team by fnishing in the top 25.
Stowe ran the Northern Illinois
University 6k course in 21:38.86,
and Windische was right behind
her at 21:39.61. Tey were the
20th and 21st runners respecitvely
to cross the fnish line.
Te key for me was getting out
fast, and I think I did really well
with that today. I was working
with Stowe and just trying to keep
with her as long as I could and it
worked out really well for me.
Windische said.
Once again, senior Austin Bus-
sing led the mens team with a
time of 32:07.40 and a 32nd place
fnish. Bussing was the only se-
nior on the mens team who ran
in the race. Junior Zach Zarda
fnished in 34th place with a time
of 32:12.17, and junior Josh Baden
fnished just four seconds later in
38th place.
Te men got out in a really
good position at the start, Whit-
tlesey said. Te pace was com-
fortable, and it didnt really pick
up until the second half of the
race. I thought our pack did a re-
ally good job moving along in the
middle part of the race, too. Te
runners will now transition into
the indoor track season.

Matt Cassel stood on the sideline
helplessly, watching backup quarter-
back Tyler Palko run the Chiefs two-
minute ofense. Hed been bruised
and battered by the Denver Bron-
cos, so much so that the Kansas City
training staf wouldnt let him play.
Te ugly truth was that Cassel
didnt do much when he was on the
feld Sunday.
None of the Chiefs did.
Tim Tebow completed only two
passes, one of them a 56-yard touch-
down throw to Eric Decker, and
the Broncos rumbled their way to a
humbling even humiliating 17-
10 defeat of Kansas City.
I was a little banged up, so thats
what kept me out, said Cassel, who
refused to discuss any details of the
late-game decision. I wanted to go
but I was told not to.
Palko led the Chiefs to a feld goal
in the closing seconds, but Denver
recovered the onside kick to seal the
win. Palko said he didnt know why
he was told to go into the game, and
Cassel vowed that hell be ready for
next Monday nights game against
New England.
He was beat up there at the end.
He was unable to go physically, said
Chiefs coach Todd Haley, when
pressed about Cassels injury. Well
have to see as the week goes on, but
it was physical.
He sure wasnt very efective,
though.
Cassel was 13 of 28 for 93 yards
and a touchdown, and the Chiefs
managed 258 yards of total ofense, a
performance every bit as ugly as last
weeks 31-3 loss to Miami.
A lot of people will assume the
world has ended for our team, the
season has ended, Haley said. Its a
four-horse race, the season is going
to continue on, and were in a posi-
tion where if we come out and play
better football well be in position, as
we are now.
Te Chiefs (4-5) are in a three-way
tie with San Diego and Denver, all
chasing the AFC West-leading Oak-
land Raiders (5-4), who knocked of
the Chargers on Tursday night.
Denver was won three of four
since coach John Fox made Tebow
the starter.
Scrapping a large chunk of his
playbook and putting in an option-
style attack, the Broncos have some-
how made it work. Tebow fnished 2
of 8 for 69 yards.

Team earns second conference win of season
volleyball
Powered by a nearly-fawless
day from its senior outside hitter,
the Kansas volleyball team cap-
tured its frst conference road win
of the season this weekend.
Allison Mayfeld fnished with
a career-high 22 kills as the Jay-
hawks (14-12, 2-11) defeated the
Texas Tech Red Raiders (15-13,
1-12) on Saturday in Lubbock,
Texas, 20-25, 25-19, 25-21, 25-16.
Mayfeld, who also had only
two errors in 50 total attempts,
said she was locked in and had
one of the best individual perfor-
mances of her career.
I honestly wasnt aware of that
until afer the game, Mayfeld
said of her career-high kills. Im
more excited about having only
two errors, because thats some-
thing Ive been working on.
Afer losing the frst set on an
attacking error and falling be-
hind 0-4 in the next frame, the
Jayhawks rebounded to take the
second, third and fourth sets on
kills by Mayfeld, freshman out-
side hitter Sara McClinton and
sophomore middle blocker Caro-
line Jarmoc, respectively. McClin-
ton and Jarmoc would fnish with
13 kills each.
Coach Ray Bechard said the
team was able to carry over some
momentum from its near-upset
of the Texas Longhorns last Sat-
urday.
I feel like were playing some
good volleyball, and this is a
good time of year to be doing it,
Bechard said.
Jarmoc and junior middle
blocker Tayler Tolefree each had
six blocks against the Red Raid-
ers, who came into the game lead-
ing the Big 12 in that category.
Jarmoc said the seven day break
between games helped the team
refocus and recover.
Our bodies are all kind of
wearing out toward the end of
the season, Jarmoc said. It was
a good break physically as well as
mentally so we can regroup and
refocus for the end of the season.
Senior setter Nicole Tate fn-
ished with a double-double with
15 digs and 45 assists. It was her
fourth double-double of the sea-
son.
She played awesome, May-
feld said. She was doing a good
job in keeping our team together
in system. She made a lot of great,
smart decisions.
Te victory was the second
conference win of the season
for Kansas, both coming against
Texas Tech. Mayfeld and the
Jayhawks will look to continue
their late-season push at home on
Wednesday against No. 25 Okla-
homa.
Were looking forward to our
last three games, Mayfeld said.
We think we have a good shot at
winning all three of these. We feel
like this was a good jump start
and we have a good opportunity
to rally these last three games.

NEW YORK Close to 100
teams and 2,000 athletes battled on
broomsticks for two days, all want-
ing to be crowned the International
Quidditch Association World Cup
champion.
Kansas quidditch players started
the weekend wanting to prove they
deserved their No. 2 ranking in the
world. Instead, they fell in the Sweet
16 to Minnesota with a score of 70-
40.
Other teams they watched us,
they see our talent, they see what
we have going on at Kansas, cap-
tain Doug Whiston said. People
recognize that we are a good team
and we collapsed in one game.
DAY 1
Kansas started the weekend by
going 3-1 in pool play. Te team
defeated Vermont 170-0 in Kansas
World Cup debut. Te game was
highlighted by the snitch runner (a
player that must be caught to end
the game) stealing Kansas seekers
(the player that must catch the
snitch-runner) broom.
Next, the Jayhawks played Utah,
a team they perceived to be their
toughest opponent in pool play.
Kansas defeated Utah 80-60. Te
Kansas players said that afer a Utah
player was injured with what ap-
peared to be a dislocated shoulder,
the Utah team lost focus and simply
became too aggressive.
In Kansas third pool play match
against Ringling College from Sara-
sota, Fla., the Jayhawks appeared
to have let the 40-degree New York
weather get to them, but they still
pulled out the win, 60-50.
Te Jayhawks headed into their
fnal match in pool play against
Hofstra. Whiston explained afer
the game that the Kansas play-
ers just could not click on ofense
and dropped the match 40-30 afer
Hofstra snatched the snitch and was
awarded 30 points.
DAY 2
Kansas did not play until Sunday
afernoon when bracket play start-
ed. Te team was seeded eleventh
and played against Virginia Com-
monwealth University.
Kansas basketball fans will re-
member that VCU defeated the
mens basketball team in the Elite
Eight during last years tourna-
ment.
Te Kansas quidditch team used
the energy from knowing they
couldnt let VCU beat another Kan-
sas team in another tournament.
From singing the Rock Chalk
Chant before the match to the f-
nal moments, the quidditch team
looked unstoppable against the
Rams.
Te ofense moved swifly, tak-
ing advantage of fast breaks to run
down to the hoops and, in a sense,
dunk the quafe (a volleyball).
VCU put points up on the board
toward the end of the match, but by
then it was much too late. Kansas
was up 100-20 when the snitch run-
ner returned to the pitch afer being
released to run and hide from the
Kansas and VCU seekers.
Kansas pulled out a 100-50 vic-
tory.
Te Jayhawks continued to try to
stay warm before they faced Minne-
sota in their Sweet 16 game. Kansas
captains Nicole Denney and Whis-
ton were confdent in their teams
ability to play their game and stay
focused.
However, when the announcer
yelled, Brooms up! Minnesota
proved more than Kansas could
handle.
Te Kansas chasers (ofensive
players) took of down the feld with
the speed and agility that they have
become famous for in the quidditch
world, but they ran into a wall of
Minnesota defenders, a style of play
Kansas has not faced before.
We play against ourselves, which
means we play really spread out,
beater Kate Cooley said. We need
to learn how to play on a packed de-
fense. We need to learn how to play
other teams that arent just like us.
Minnesota played relentlessly.
Te Minnesota ofense did to Kan-
sas what the Jayhawks had done to
VCU only a match before. Te Kan-
sas beaters (defenders) fell fat and
lost control of the midfeld, allowing
the Minnesota chasers free reign at
the Kansas hoops. One chaser had
the entire Kansas half of the feld
open at one point when he scored.
Almost immediately afer the
snitch returned, the Kansas seek-
er snatched it, but the 30 points
awarded were not enough to topple
Minnesota. Kansas lost 70-40.
The experience
Tis was Kansas frst World Cup
appearance. Tis season, the Jay-
hawks took the quidditch world
by storm, going undefeated in the
Midwest Cup. Kansas came from
obscurity into the limelight.
We are playing quidditch here
on the biggest stage, Whiston said.
We are in New York City. Tere is
nothing like it. You step out onto
Times Square, you see all the lights
and you know youre here.
Te future is uncertain for the
team now that winter is here. Te
World Cup showed the Jayhawks
a new level of quidditch they must
prepare for. Finding comparable
teams to prepare with is Kansas
biggest challenge now.
We love seeing Mizzou, but the
problem is, in the Midwest we are
all spread apart, Whiston said.
Tere are teams in Oklahoma, but
well...we are glad they are playing
quidditch, but our team could run
circles around them now.
Te team is headed back to Law-
rence now to regroup and refect on
their time in New York, the good
and the bad.
It was an interesting frst World
Cup I suppose, Cooley said. Te
losses are so poignant right now,
but looking back on it, I think we
will be glad we came.
