the state. According to the Kansas Board of Regents 2012 data book, non-residential undergraduate students at the University pay about $6,000 more per semester than students who are Kansas residents. In order to enroll more nonresidential students, Melvin said the Office of Admissions is targeting specific areas where students are likely to travel out of their home state for higher education. The University also has an alumni recruitment group; members of the group will attend college fairs in areas where the University is not as visible. We pull students largely from the central part of the country, Melvin said. States like Illinois, Missouri, Colorado, and Texas are historically strong feeder states. We are also doing more in California as well as exploring testing some markets in the southeast part of the country, he said. Enrolling more out-of-state students may have long-term benefits, too. Melvin said it is a common belief that these students will stay, work and live in Kansas after graduating. Recruiting out-of-state students has the potential to serve as an economic engine for the state, he said. Marshall may fall right in line with this assumption. She plans to stay in Kansas for at least four years after she graduates in 2015, as a stipulation for a scholarship she received. I have to teach four years in Kansas at a low-income school, Marshall said. I dont know if Ill stay here my whole life, but I would like to stay longer after Im out of school.

Recruitment efforts to focus on out-of-state

NICoLe weNTLINg
nwentling@kansan.com As a high school student, KU sophomore Chloe Marshall remembers long car rides from her hometown of Fort Worth, Texas, to Lawrence. Her parents, both University of Kansas alumni, would bring her on these trips to attend Kansas football and basketball games. One of her older sisters, Sydney, attends the University, and when it was time for Chloe to choose a school, she followed suit. Chloe is the type of student the University is looking to recruit. She had an interest in the school and the ability and financial resources to attend an out-of-state university. I would rather be in debt and come here than go to a school in Texas and not like it, Marshall said. In the past few years, the KU Office of Admissions has increased its efforts to bring in non-residential students. Matt Melvin, associate vice provost of enrollment management, said the primary market for recruitment is Kansas students, however, the number of high school graduates in Kansas is declining. Furthermore, according to the ACT profile report, about 36 percent of Kansas high school students with ACT scores between 28 and 36 are interested in leaving the state to attend college. The institution must extend its reach to secondary and tertiary markets particularly in those areas where KU has already established visibility, Melvin said. Melvin also said that student tuition is becoming a larger part of the overall operating budget for the University, as a result of the decrease in financial support from

university provides two-ply toilet paper across campus after big push from student body
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
mschmidt@kansan.com Students should be relieved to discover something new on campus this fall: higher quality toilet paper. The University is rolling out two-ply toilet paper across campus after student complaints about the campuss quality of toilet paper surfaced last November. An article published in the Kansan detailed students frustration with the one-ply paper. After garnering attention from students, the alumni magazine, and The Lawrence Journal World, KU Facility Services have now adopted two-ply toilet paper campus wide. There was quite a bit of grassroots action on the issue, said Steve Green of KU Facility Services. We tried a pilot program and decided to go campus wide with the two-ply product. Green said the toilet paper vendor was able to supply the two-ply tissue at no additional cost to students. For fiscal year 2012, Green ordered 103,584 rolls of the two-ply product at a cost of $93,000, which means each student is expected to wipe out three and a half rolls at a cost of $3.10. Sami Franiuk, a junior from Tonganoxie, has already noticed a difference, after finding the oneply paper to be low quality and uncomfortable. It wasnt my number one concern, but I am pleased that they switched, Franiuk said. I like that they listened to what the students have to say and that they followed through. Andrew Jensen, a senior from Everest, would sometimes hold it until he left campus to avoid the one-ply toilet paper. Now that theres a better product, Im willing to give it another shot, Jensen said. This is not the first time the University has seen higher quality toilet paper. Don Steeples, former senior vice provost for the University, recalls a vendor supplying higher quality paper nearly 10 years ago. But the supply did not last long after students began to steal it, he said. The fact that you would go into a stall and somebody had stolen the roll of toilet paper can be a real disappointment, Steeples said. Once the supply was used up then everything after that had chunks of wood still in it. Cole Bittel, a junior from Basehor, hopes the two-ply product is here to stay, as he too was frustrated with the one-ply toilet paper. I was always worried about getting turd on my hand because it would break, Bittel said. Bittel also wants students to keep their eyes open for any toilet paper thieves. You would have to be really flaky to steal toilet paper, just like how the one-ply paper was, Bittel said. Edited by Andrew Ruszczyk

safety

free class promotes safety awareness

LINDSey MAyfIeLD
lmayfield@kansan.com Several years ago, two men attacked former KU student Kenna Gates and her roommate as they walked home from a local bar. The attackers, who Gates said had been watching her roommate throughout the night, followed the two women, striking Gates and attempting to force her friend into a vehicle. What their attackers did not anticipate was that Gates and her friend would fight back. Gates, a 2005 graduate, participated in a free self-defense class at PUNCH Boxing + Fitness this Saturday. She said she wanted to participate because she knows how easy it is for students to become victims if they are nave about their chances of being attacked. Instructor Mike McAtee of the Lawrence Police Department began the class by telling the group of women that, statistically, 25 percent of them would be a victim of a violent crime. He said that, although victims may not be able to out muscle their attackers, they can escape by preparing mentally. You can do that in the bus going to class. You can do that driving to work, he said. So when it happens, you have a plan. Youve been there in your mind at least 500 times. Sgt. Trent McKinley, a spokesman for the Lawrence Police Department, said Lawrence has a feeling of community, and that can lead to residents being unaware of their surroundings. He added that Lawrence being a college town leads to a false feeling of safety, especially among incoming freshmen. Theres a newfound feeling of freedom and independence, McKinley said. And at times thats something thats euphoric that people get caught up in and go a little bit overboard. The Lawrence Police Department reported 889 simple assaults and 132 aggravated assaults for the first six months of this year. A 48-hour tracking of police dispatches shows incidents loosely grouped along Massachusetts Street and around the intersection of 14th and Ohio Streets. Several local bars are in these areas. McKinley said alcohol was a factor in the majority of situations involving students. PUNCH Boxing + Fitness manager John Heleniak assisted with the class, and said his interest in self-defense came from his experience owning a bar. Heleniak owned The Jayhawk Cafe for 12 years, as well as managing several other drinking establishments. He said one of his biggest concerns during that time was keeping his employees safe at night.

student pinned in between two suVs

rsalyer@kansan.com An 18-year-old University student was struck by a SUV and critically injured Sunday morning on the 1600 block of Tennessee Street after attending a house party. Colby Liston, a freshman from Derby, was getting a ride from the party when he was pinned between two SUVs at about 1:26 a.m. He was attempting to get into a rear-cargo door of a 1999 Ford Explorer, according to a Lawrence

Police Department press release. Others climbed into the back of the vehicle before him, which was parked on the right lane of Tennessee Street, a one-way street. While trying to enter the SUV, a 2005 Ford Explorer heading southbound hit him, pinning Liston between both vehicles. According to the release, a 21-year-old University student was driving the SUV that hit Liston. Nick Rondo, a Washburn University student, was standing in the yard of the house hosting

the party and saw the accident. I saw the second car coming and realized it wasnt stopping, Rondo said. I saw him pinned between the cars and then he fell down. Everyone started running toward him and calling 911. Liston was taken to the University of Kansas Hospital, where he was listed in serious condition Monday. Others involved in the accident were treated for minor injuries, according to the release. Rondo was not sure how many

people were at the party, but said there were a lot of people in and outside the house that night. It was pretty dark out, Rondo said. There werent a lot of lights, but it was awful. Police did not issue tickets at the scene, but intoxicants were present in the involved parties and blood test results are pending, the release said. The results will be sent to the district attorneys office. Edited by Hannah Wise

Students discuss Pussy Riot over Skype

Mariya Omelicheva, chair of the Center for Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies, estimated that around 45 people had stopped by the Big 12 Room of the Kansas Union on Monday to listen in and ask questions via Skype with Moscow based journalist Kirill Mikhailov. The Skype session focused on the imprisonment of Russian based female punk band Pussy Riot and the political uprisings currently taking place in Moscow. The protestors are speaking out against Russian President Vladimir Putin. Two members of the band are facing two years in prison for hooliganism after performing an anti-Putin song in an orthodox church. Kirill explained the church is also a popular tourist attraction Political science professor Erik Herron started the hour-long discussion by telling the audience about Kirills background as both a jour-

Law School receives scholarship donation

A couple donated $800,000 in scholarship funds to the University of Kansas School of Law. David and Debbi Elkouri established a $500,000 Elkouri Family Scholarship Fund through the KU Endowment Association. A renewable $16,000 scholarship will be awarded for the next 12 years to a Kansas resident at the School of Law and $9,000 will be awarded to deserving students by Stephen Mazza, law school dean. The area of biggest need at the law school is for scholarships to enhance the quality of the student body and keep in-state Kansas kids at the University of Kansas, said David Elkouri in a KU news release. We are losing very qualified Kansas applicants to other law schools, many of which are out of state. We need to do what we can to get them to enroll at KU Law. David Elkouri received a bachelors degree in accounting and business administration from KU. He also received a juris doctorate in 1978 from the KU School of Law. His wife, Debbi, graduated from the University of Oklahoma. The Elkouris three children received bacholers degrees at KU. One of them, Justin Elkouri, received a law degree KU School of Law.

Storm blamed for police force at RNC

ASSOCIAtED PRESS
TAMPA, Fla. Protesters blamed Tropical Storm Isaac and a massive police presence Monday for their weak showing at the Republican National Convention. Only a fraction of the 5,000 expected demonstrators actually turned out to criticize the GOPs economic and social policies. Hundreds of police officers and heavily armed members of the Florida National Guard patrolled the streets of downtown Tampa. The protesters were required to conduct their rallies and parades in designated areas and along specified routes, none closer than about a half-mile from where Republicans would be gathering. Theyve militarized Tampa. The chilling effect has succeeded, said Cara Jennings, a voter outreach organizer from Palm Beach County. About 200 people marched as part of the Coalition to March on the RNCs rally in an empty lot near the arena where the Republicans will be nominating Mitt Romney as their candidate for president. Sporadic heavy rain lashed the city and winds were gusting at 35 mph as Isaac passed to the west of Tampa in the Gulf of Mexico. The Republicans themselves had canceled most of their Monday activities because of the storm. A breakoff group later marched against the wars that are ongoing overseas. Tampa police blocked traffic for the unplanned march and arrested one protester when he refused to take off a bandanna covering his face. Officers led him to a waiting SUV and he was driven away. Police were not immediately available for comment.

Kenyan gunmen kill cleric, spark riots

NAIROBI, Kenya Gunmen in Kenyas coastal city of Mombasa killed a Muslim cleric accused by Washington and the United Nations of supporting al-Qaida-linked militants in Somalia, sparking rioting by youths in which one person died and at least one police car was burned. The killing on Monday of Aboud Rogo fits into a pattern of extrajudicial killings and forced disappearances of suspected terrorists that is allegedly being orchestrated by Kenyan police, say Kenyan human rights groups. Rogo was shot dead as he drove with his family in Mombasa, Rogos lawyer, Mbugua Mureithi, told The Associated Press. Rogos wife was wounded in the leg, said Rogos father who was also in the car along with Rogos 5-year-old daughter. He said he and the girl werent injured. At the scene of the killing, Rogos wife angrily accused police of the murder. It is you policemen who have killed him, we dont want a postmortem or any help from you, said Khaniya Said Sagar to police who came to assist her. Khaniya said that she was being taken to hospital for a checkup after she had miscarriage two weeks ago. Rogos killing quickly sparked off protests by hundreds of Muslim youths who went on the rampage on the streets of Mombasa, as his body was being taken for burial, in line with Muslim customs of burying the dead on the same day they died. The Muslim Human Rights Forum condemned Rogos murder, calling it an extrajudicial killing and calling for an an end to targeted killings and enforced disappearances of terrorism suspects. MHRF Chairman Al-Amin Kimathi said that last month Rogo and Abubakar Shariff Ahmed, who were both suspects in a terror-re-

Venezuela refinery fire kills 48 as fire spreads

PUNTO FIJO, Venezuela The death toll rose to 48 at Venezuelas biggest oil refinery, where fires were still raging on Monday nearly three days after a powerful explosion. The higher toll was announced by Falcon State Gov. Stella Lugo in remarks to the Venezuelan radio station Union Radio. Residents in a neighborhood next to the refinery say they had no warning before the explosion hit at about 1 a.m. on Saturday. What bothers us is that there was no sign of an alarm. I would have liked for an alarm to have gone off or something, said Luis Suarez, a bank employee in the neighborhood. Many of us woke up thinking it was an earthquake. The blast knocked down walls, shattered windows and left streets littered with rubble. People who live next to the refinery said they smelled strong fumes coming from the refinery starting between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. Friday, hours before the blast, but many said they werent worried because they had smelled such odors before. Then, a cloud of gas ignited in an area of fuel storage tanks and exploded. Some of the tanks were still burning on Monday, billowing black smoke. President Hugo Chavez visited the refinery on Sunday and said investigators havent yet determined what caused the disaster. In a televised conversation with Chavez, one state oil company official said workers had made their rounds after 9 p.m. and hadnt noticed anything unusual. The official said that at about midnight officials detected the gas leak and went out to the street to block traffic. Energy analyst Jorge Pinon said the accounts of the hours leading up the explosion raise concerns. The fact that the gas leak went undetected for a number of hours and that there was no evacuation alarm (or) order indicates to me that there is a lack of safety related planning and behaviors throughout the complex, and most important in nearby communities, Pinon said.

Afghan insurgents behead 17 after celebration

KABUL, Afghanistan Insurgents attacked a large party in a Taliban-controlled area of southern Afghanistan and beheaded 17 people, officials said on Monday. A local government official initially said the victims were civilians at a celebration late Sunday involving music and dancing in the Musa Qala district of Helmand province. The official, Neyamatullah Khan, said the Taliban killed the party-goers for flouting the extreme brand of Islam embraced by the militants. However, provincial government spokesman Daoud Ahmadi said later that those killed were caught up in a fight between two Taliban commanders over two women, who were among the dead. Ahmadi said shooting broke out during the fight but it was unclear whether the music and dancing triggered the violence, and whether the dead were all civilians or possibly included some fighters. All of the bodies were decapitated, but it was not clear if they had been shot first, he said. In other violence, two American soldiers were shot and killed by one of their Afghan colleagues in the east bringing the number of Americans killed this month by Afghan allies to 12. Afghan officials said the killings appeared to be accidental. NATO would not comment on whether the killings were intentional or accidental, but a U.S. Defense Department official said there were indications that it was an intentional killing. The Taliban has controlled large parts of Musa Qala, a district encompassing more than 100 villages, since 2001. They enforce the same strict interpretation of Islamic law that was imposed on all of Afghanistan during Taliban rule from 1996-2001. U.S. Marines have battled the Taliban for years in Musa Qala, but the insurgent group still wields significant power in the area as international forces across the country draw down and hand over control to Afghan forces. Helmand province, where Musa Qala is located, is one of the areas that has seen the largest reduction in U.S. troops. The U.S. started reducing forces from a peak of nearly 103,000 last year, and plans to have 68,000 troops by October. Many Afghans and international observers have expressed concerns that the Taliban will try to re-impose strict Islamic justice as international forces withdraw. Under the Taliban, all music and film was banned as un-Islamic, and women were barred from leaving their homes without a male relative as an escort.

CiA to review book

assocIated Press
WASHINGTON U.S. officials said Monday that they are reviewing a copy of a soon-to-bepublished account of the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, checking for leaks of classified information. Pentagon spokesman George Little said Defense Department officials received the manuscript and we are looking at it. CIA spokesman Preston Golson would only say that the CIA has a copy of the book. The book, No Easy Day, is scheduled for publication on Sept. 11. The author, a former Navy SEAL who participated in the raid, did not submit the book for prepublication review that is required by the military secrecy agreements officials say he signed. Pentagon regulations stipulate that retired personnel, former employees and non-active duty members of the Reserves shall use the DoD security review process to ensure that information they submit for public release does not compromise national security.

TRICKS OF ThE TRaDE

succeed in college without really trying K

U offers a lot of different and unique resources to its students. Basically, if you want a piece of information and are willing to look for it, youll be able to find it. For the past week, Hawk Week Leaders have been a major source of information. However, there are a few tricks that the good leaders of Hawk Week probably didnt share. Thankfully, Im willing to let you in on my secrets to success as a fellow student at KU.

Tip: CHEw GuM and GET sTuff dOnE

TEXT

At some point during the semester youll be up way past nightfall. Food will look as disgusting as the half-finished project you have due in the morning. Instead of looking at an empty screen for hours and before you consume gallons of caffeine, try popping in a piece of gum.

Tip: EaT all THE TiME

Yep, thats right. Instead of the standard three meals per day, I recommend eating small snack items throughout the day as you start to develop feelings of hunger. The quality of food is up to you. Eat healthy if thats your style or junk food if thats what you prefer. Why: Frequent eating keeps your body from getting as hungry and therefore allows you to stay focused on tasks that you need to do for classes.

Text your FFa submissions to 785-289-8351 or at kansan.com

Why: Chewing gum gives your brain the illusion of eating. Simply by chewing something Im able to focus on my projects a little while longer than I could have without the little boost. Also, this trick can be helpful when you have a lot to remember for a test. According to an article on CNN Health, chewing gum can help you perform slightly better.

Tip: bE a OnE-pErsOn balanCinG aCT

Seriously, this is important. The college experience is important, but so is getting that piece

of paper that will make you marketable for certain jobs. So while it may sound like more fun to spend night after night after night with your friends and exploring all of the social aspects KU and Lawrence have to offer, restrain yourself. Know how much time you need to study and create those boundaries for yourself. Set aside specific blocks of time to accomplish the majority of your homework. Likewise, give yourself time to experience life here as opposed to home. The time given to each category may not be equal, but it should allow you to succeed in both avenues. Why: What does it matter that you had the college experience if you dont come away

from it with a degree that allows you to get a job? Too much fun could send your GPA to the gutters and either aid your trip to academic probation or even convince you to drop out. On the other hand, being in college offers unique experiences that shouldnt be overlooked. Its a chance to search for your adult identity. Balancing the two is a necessary part of collegiate success.

Tip: puT iT On THE lisT

What was that little piece of homework you needed to do for tomorrows class? Its not on Blackboard and the professor didnt send out a reminder. You said to yourself, Ill remember that. Thats easy. What now? You dont remember. Always write things down. And not just that theres work to do. I like to keep a sticky note to-do list. On it I keep assignments, quizzes and exams for all of my classes. The list allows me to see which assignment is due next and which test is coming up first.

Why: Sure, you have a great memory. But at some point, youll forget. And even if you dont forget, even if you remember it all, the due dates can get all mumbled and jumbled together. Make it easy on yourself and just write it all down. Using a planner, calendar, bulletin board or system similar to mine allows you to prioritize much easier than just going off of the top of your head. Prioritizing can condense the amount of time you spend studying so you can get back to the whole socializing thing. I hope that in some way this list helps you cut part of the learning curve that comes with a new way of life. As the year goes on, youll develop your own tricks and your own way of getting things done. Dont be afraid of that unknown because no matter where you are in your Jayhawk journey, therell always be positivity in that unknown. Hawkins is a junior majoring in journalism from scranton.

Obedience is highly prized in our species. We are supposed to follow a set of rules and norms to be considered respectable members in our society. But the problem with following orders is that if we do what everyone has done before we will get the same results. Orders seize directly on our freedom, and limit our potential. Although learning from advices can be a great learning opportunity, just follow-

n an old interview that can be found in the archives of the Silicon Valley Historical Association, Steve Jobs says that there is a single secret that could change anyones life altogether. It sure changed my way to approach life when I first heard it. I suggest you pay close attention to it also. On the simple, unprofessionallooking footage, Steve Jobs talks about the typical lifestyle advice we tend to hear from our families and society. The one we are all used to, which says that we should all go to college, have a nice job, save a little money. His argument is that just doing this would be an extremely limited life, and that life can be much more broad and complete, once we realize a neat little fact: everything we see in life (the institutions, the ideas, the products) were created by other regular people, no smarter than ourselves. The implications of that, according to him, are amazing. It means we can create our own lifestyles, and mold our lives however we like. The decision is up to us, and there is no need to follow old norms. With that in mind, we developed 2 ways you can use to start following Steve Jobs advice today:

ExplOrE COllEGE bEyOnd COllEGE ClassEs

College is an amazing experience. And, as most students would agree, classes are not necessarily the best part of it. Experimenting with all college has to offer beyond classes, such as joining student clubs, looking for professional opportunities and enjoying the social life, is a great way to live beyond academics. This entire story reminds me of an old Brazilian piece of advice I have heard from my dad since I was a little brat. It states that what we take from life (to afterlife, if you are into that) is the kind of life we undertake. The saying essentially means that the only really important thing in life is how we decide to live it. The result is powerful when we pair Steve Jobs advice to the Brazilian saying: It does not matter what we are told to do, or how people think our life is supposed to be like. There is no need to follow the norms, or do as we are told. We have the power to mold life, in whatever way we desire to, and there is no better way to live life.

e, as humans, are social beings. We thrive on the conversation and the camaraderie that our friends and neighbors provide. Those baristas who make you your decaf-soy-whatever: you need them. Your classmates in the local gyms kick boxing class: you need them. Your fellow bar flies at the tavern down the street: you definitely need them. Now the question is, do you have that? With the rise of the suburbs in the post-WWII era, America saw a fall of the community. Most of the neighborhood meeting places: the mom and pop shops, the local restaurants, cafs, bars were swallowed up by the miles of sprawl. What eventually replaced these little gems were the generic hubs like CVS, Perkins, and Starbucks. What replaced our next-door-neighbors were our Facebook friends. Mr. Rogers preached being neighborly to many of us as

young viewers, but have we really taken that to heart? How many of us know the guy next door who plays the cello? Or who knows the cat lady across the street? I fear that we may have become too closed off from our neighbors, and allowed suburbia to become too vast and social media to replace true friendship. People need to see and interact with others for healthy lives. However, the opportunity for socializing depends highly on the venue. In his book, The Great Good Place, Ray Oldenburg describes the perfect middle ground between home and work. He writes, In order for the city and its neighborhoods to offer the rich and varied association that is their promise and their potential, there must be neutral ground upon which people may gather. This neutral ground that Oldenburg coins the third place, offers visitors a place to come and go as they please, and eases the pressure that some might have when hosting a party at their own home.

In these days of Facebook, Starbucks, and fast food chains, there might be little room left for the third place. We seem to live in a much busier, higher-energy society than before. Such stressful lifestyles hardly allow much room for the lazy yet playful conversation that one might have seen in Cheers. With the school year starting and homework beginning to pile up, it is important to keep oneself grounded. Dont let Facebook distract you from actual human interaction, and dont let the easiness of Taco Bell tempt you away from the great food that Lawrence has to offer. To combat these trends, join a student club or give you and your friends a comfortable place to meet and hangout (a restaurant, a caf, etc.), and then make this a tradition. Seeing more of your friends without the scope of a profile picture is a lot nicer, I promise you. And please, introduce yourself to your neighbor.

Mustang adoption benefits horses, horse owners alike

tREVoR GRAff
tgraff@kansan.com Shawn Lewis leaned against the corral paneling of the indoor arena talking with fellow horsemen about the unique traits of a breed that took over his life. He watched the horses in front of him, fresh from the range, with rapt attention and a pride that only Mustang owners can describe. Lewis, owner of the Legendary Mustang Sanctuary in Illinois, trains horses for private ownership. He and his wife Kathy drove five hours from Alhambra, Ill., to this weekends U.S. Department of the Interiors Bureau of Land Management National Wild Horse and Burro Program adoption event at the Douglas County Fairgrounds. Although training the horses is the goal, maintaining the heritage of the American Mustang gives that goal a larger purpose. Once you bond with a Mustang and they give you their heart and choose you as their leader, you better be ready to step up, because its a lot like raising a child, Lewis said. With the wild horse population doubling every four years, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is hosting 40 events this year in locations throughout the country. When the Wild Horse and Burro Program determines that public lands cannot support the number of animals, horses are removed from the range for adoption. The horses that dont get adopted are returned to the nearest BLM holding center to be adopted at a later event. A lot of people have the misunderstanding that this event is a rescue, said Paul McGuire, U.S. Bureau of Land Management Public Affairs Specialist. We dont have a situation where theres a shortage of horses or the horses are in peril. The issue is one of management. McGuire said the nationwide program is ongoing and aims to prevent the overgrazing and damage of public lands. The BLM brought more than 50 horses from across the western U.S. to the event in Lawrence. Adoption candidates are vetted thoroughly by the agency. Requirements for adoption include being 18 years old with no record of animal abuse, the ability to provide a 400-square-foot corral with access to food, water and shelter. The adoption fee is $125. For Lewis, the rewards of adopting a Mustang outweigh those of owning a standard breed. Mustangs are all we work with, Lewis said. So far weve successfully placed 12 horses. Everyone weve worked with is in love with their Mustangs. Lewis, who co-founded the sanctuary one year ago, is a retired engineer. At the sanctuary, the training process begins with 90 days of training. After the horse completes that training, Lewis pairs horses with owners based on the characteristics of both. Once a match is made, Lewis requires owners to go through a 20-hour training session. Dexter Hedrick, director of the Hutchinson Correctional Facility Wild Horse and Burro Program, understands the love affair with the Mustang. The program matches 12 to 15 inmates with Mustangs for training and later adoption by private owners. Hedrick has seen firsthand how the animals bond with convicted criminals. Most of the guys that come to work for us have never been around animals, Hedrick said. These guys are learning how to build relationships with the animals, and this is directly transferable from the animals to people. Theyre learning a lot in life that they may have not experienced before. They have something to care about that cares about them. With Mustangs, the relationship between owner and animal is unique. Cindy Branham, certified horse trainer and clinician from Topeka, trains several Mustangs for adoption. Theyre different because they value family and relationships a little more, Branham said. Theyre struggling to survive out in the wild. I believe we need to have some in the wild, but theyre struggling. Theyre surviving. Theyre looking for their meals, water and shelter, but theyre also looking for a relationship, and I want to show with the right training these animals can make great partners. Shawn Lewis planned to leave Lawrence with at least two new members of the Legendary Mustang stable. As a member of the BLMs Trainer Incentive Program that promotes Mustang training facilities in many different regions of the country, the Lewises continue to promote the breed that provides their inspiration. The Trainer Incentive Program provides homes for the horses that dont get adopted at adoption events. It isnt, Oh, this is just another horse, Lewis said. This is my Mustang, and theyre proud of their Mustang. Edited by Emma McElhaney

Lawrence Police Officer Mike McAtee assists juniors Lilly Maggiorotto, left, and Kathryn Langhofer, right, with a self-defense tactic. McAtee, who has more than 20 years of experience in law enforcement, taught a free self-defense class held at PUNCH Boxing + Fitness last Saturday.

Although only women took the class, Heleniak said men need to be just as prepared to defend themselves as women. He said one of his male employees was mugged on his way home from work. Men have bigger egos, Heleniak said. Its all right to not know something; you just have to admit it. You need to learn. You need to make sure youre safe. Gates said that she participated in the class partially because of her experience being assaulted, but also to learn what more she could do to protect herself. Luckily for her, when she and her friend were attacked walk-

ing home that night, they were able to fight their assailants until two passersby intervened. They escaped that night by what she called random chance, but not every victim is as fortunate. McAtee ended the class by playing the surveillance video of the abduction of Kelsey Smith. Smith was an Overland Park teen who was taken from the parking lot of a Target store and murdered later that evening. One woman asked how Smiths abductor was able to force her into a car in the middle of the day in such a highly trafficked area. I dont think she had a plan, McAtee replied. What is your

plan going to be? Heleniak said PUNCH Boxing + Fitness plans to hold self-defense classes about every two months. Both he and McAtee, however, teach weekly boxing classes at their Lawrence location. McAtee teaches class Mondays at 5:30 a.m. and Saturdays at 8:15 a.m. Heleniak teaches Wednesdays at 5:30 p.m. Edited by Luke Ranker

Q: What year did Armstrong win his first Tour De France?

lancesupport.org

enowned cyclist Lance Armstrong issued a statement Thursday evening, Aug. 23, saying he would no longer contest the doping charges facing him from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. There comes a point in every mans life when he has to say, Enough is enough. For me, that time is now, Armstrong said. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in winning my seven Tours since 1999. World Anti-Doping Agency President, John Fahey, said Armstrong no longer contesting charges likens to an admission. The simple fact is that his refusal to examine the evidence means the charges had substance in them. Under the rules, penalties can now be imposed. But, does the stripping of titles taint his legacy? After surviving cancer, Armstrong rocketed to the top of his sport. It was a miracle story. However, there may have been some steroids used to help that miracle. The judgment is up to you, but his inspiration to many may lose a little luster after Thursdays doping allegations. Armstrong

By Jackson Long
jlong@kansan.com courageously fought cancer that should have beaten him, and that should be his legacy to the cancer community. The sport of cycling was forever changed by his repeated dominance in the Tour de France, a race that is considered the Super Bowl of the cycling world. Cycling captured worldwide attention and gained interest as Armstrong powered through the Pyrenees Mountains in southern France year after year to claim his seven Tour de France titles. Now stripped of his Tour wins and banned from the sport, cycling loses its biggest name. However, his impact extends beyond the

sport. Armstrong is a prominent figure in the battle against cancer and the face of the his own foundation, LIVESTRONG. The LIVESTRONG foundation works to unite, inspire, and empower people affected by cancer. And after the recent doping charges, many thought donations would take a hit. But, oddly that was not the case. In wake of Thursdays shocking news, Friday donations to LIVESTRONG totaled to more than $75,000. An amount much greater than the $3,200 donated Thursday. While the donations may have survived, the reputation may suffer in the coming days. Some may remember the Mizzou project, the construction of Paige Sports Arena. Originally named after the granddaughter of Bud Walton, co-founder of Wal-Mart, the name was later changed after she was accused of cheating her way through college at the University of Southern California. Could a similar fate be in store for Sporting KCs LIVESTRONG Sporting Park? While it is a wonderful sports venue, some question the integrity of letting the stadium name remain. It will be up to moral judgment to determine if we view

LIVESTRONG as a beneficial cancer foundation or a group led by a man accused of cheating his way to fame and success. Tough questions will be asked and difficult conversations will take place, but Lance Armstrongs impact on the world goes unquestioned. Armstrong is a courageous cancer survivor and an inspiration for many. His work with LIVESTRONG has benefited countless lives. I think its best we take the attention off his cycling career and focus it on his positive impact on the cancer community. Edited by Laken Rapier

Sporting KC loses Bunbury to injury

ASSocIAtED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Kan. Sporting Kansas City will have to chase an Eastern Conference championship without forward Teal Bunbury, who will miss the remainder of the season after tearing ligaments in his left knee during a draw with the New York Red Bulls. The team announced the extent of the injury Monday, one day after Bunbury was hurt while leaping to make a pass to Kei Kamara for Sporting KCs only goal of the game. Bunbury crashed to the turf and held his knee, but played several more minutes before he was substituted out. The team initially called the injury a sprain, but coach Peter Vermes said that Bunbury would undergo an MRI exam on Monday. Thats when the extent of the injury was revealed. Bunbury tore the ACL and damaged the LCL in his knee. Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Scott Luallin is scheduled to perform surgery on Friday, and Bunbury is expected to miss six to eight months. The injury is extremely unfortunate, but Teal has a great attitude and he will be back stronger than ever, Vermes said in a statement issued by the team. Bunbury is a big reason why Sporting KC (14-7-5) leads the East by two points over the Red Bulls with eight games remaining in the regular season. The former fourth overall draft pick is tied with C.J. Sapong for second on the team with five goals, and he also has one assist in 22 regular season games. He trails only Kamara, the teams leading scorer, and Graham Zusi for the most shots on goal. Bunbury led Sporting KC with 11 goals in MLS competition last season. The knee injury will also rule Bunbury out of potential international duty. He debuted for the U.S. mens national team in November 2010, and has played several games since, assisting on Zusis winning goal in a game against Panama in January. The U.S. resumes World Cup qualifying at Jamaica on Sept. 7, and is scheduled to play at Sporting KCs Livestrong Sporting Park against Guatemala on Oct. 16.

faRzIn vOuSOughIan
fvousoughian@kansan.com When former Kansas coach Turner Gill was relieved of his duties following the regular season finale, players were unsure of what the future had in store for not only the program, but also themselves. For Tanner Hawkinson, senior offensive tackle and captain, he was eager, but also nervous Hawkinson to find out who would carry on as the new coach of the Jayhawks. When Charlie Weis was named coach in December, Hawkinson and his teammates were optimistic and motivated for the upcoming season. Im pretty sure all of the players were following the coaching search pretty closely for a couple of weeks, Hawkinson said. His name never really came up and when it did and he got hired, everybody got really excited because everyone knew what he was about. Hawkinson said he is excited to have the rare opportunity to play for Weis and also be under the guidance of a strong offensive line coach, Tim Grunhard. Playing under a strong coaching staff, Hawkinson said he feels that Weis has assembled a team will help turn the football program around for the 2012 season. When he got in and when some of the other coaches got hired, we knew we had the coaches in place, Hawkinson said. We knew that they were going to put us in a good position to win. Grunhard brings 11 years of professional playing experience with the Kansas City Chiefs where he started 155 games and earned one Pro Bowl honor. Following his playing career, Grunhard was named the head coach of Bishop Miege High School for six years, There he led the Stags to five consecutive district titles and helped them win the 2009 4A state title. Grunhard is now taking his coaching career to the college level as an offensive line coach, and Hawkinson knows he is improving with Grunhard as his position coach. I think Ive improved in many facets of the game, Hawkinson said. He said moving over to the left side has turned him into a better blocker overall. Grunhard could not have asked for a better group of offensive linemen in his first year with his new gig. Having Hawkinson as the leader of the line makes Grunhards job easier, and he is looking forward to seeing him play on Saturdays. I think he is another guy that is ready to go and play, Grunhard said. We put in the work in the winter. We put in the work in the spring. Its been a long, hot summer. Now lets go play football. I think Tanner feels that. Hawkinson is taking in Grunards advice to better prepare himself before the season opener. Hes played the game, Hawkinson said. Hes played it at a high level so you know what he is talking about. You dont

aying attention to football and mens basketball is easy for this campus. Sports fans are constantly checking these two teams on the Internet throughout the average day for the latest news and updates. These two sports get most of our attention, but there are two other sports in season already that are playing well, and you have a chance to see them live for an extended period of time. Soccer and volleyball are both off to impressive starts. The soccer team just finished an impressive weekend where it knocked off Georgia and UNLV to win the Jayhawk Invitational, and improved their record to 3-1. The Georgia win was huge for the team considering the Bulldogs knocked the Jayhawks out of the NCAA Tournament last November. It was a big step for Kansas after an early season loss to Northwestern, but now they seem to be gaining some positive momentum. The Jayhawks know this is a crucial part of their schedule. Very few teams get 10 straight home games to start a season, and the team wants to take advantage of every one to stack up some victories. Especially when the teeth of the Big 12 road schedule comes calling. In college soccer, theres a lot of training and a lot of preparation, but only a few chances to capitalize on all of those factors. With the combination of experience, a push of youthful attackers and some incredible depth, this team has a chance to open some eyes around campus. The same can be said for the volleyball team. This group of girls has a loyal following of dozens of students and hundreds of locals. Horejsi Family Athletics Center is not the biggest venue on campus, but it has a passionate fanbase who makes a lot of noise in the 1,300-seat arena. Volleyball had a solid start to the season in Fayetteville, Ark., last weekend winning the first seven sets they played. However, the home team Arkansas Razorbacks proved to be too much to overcome in the end. Like the soccer team, volleyball has a golden opportunity at home early in the year. With seven straight home matches, its the perfect time to capitalize on the momentum built up from last weekends performance. Weve all been anxiously awaiting the start to the football season, but remember there are other sports that will have a chance to make a run at NCAA tournament berths this season as well. Although the crowds arent as big as Memorial Stadium or Allen Fieldhouse, the passion is still there from the players and the fans that are there in support. So before you pile onto your couch to watch some football this weekend, or check out Charlie Weis and the new-look football team, remember there are other great athletes right in our own backyard.

nquestion whatever he says. Hawkinson is feeling good about all of the hard work that has been put in the off-season because of the new coaching staff. He said the coaches will

be ready on game day and it is up to the players on the field to play hard and do what it takes to win. You know theyre going to have a good game plan going

into games week to week, he said. Its up to us as players to execute those game plans. Edited by Luke Ranker

Bowlsby ready to right the Big 12

ethan padway
epadway@kansan.com Bob Bowlsby is here to right the Big 12 ship after two years of sailing in turbulent waters. Over the past two years the conference saw four of its founding schools leave to join other conferences. Other member schools took wandering glances at other conferences and it seemed that the Big 12 conference was close to dismantling itself. The conference stabilized by replacing former commissioner Dan Beebe with interim commissioner Chuck Neinas and adding two strong football programs in Texas Christian University and West Virginia. And then last spring the conference brought in Bowlsby, former Stanford athletic director, as the permanent Big 12 commissioner. Bowlsby said he is aware that some people may feel uncertain about the future of the Big 12 because of the events of the past two years. I think everyone is forward looking, everyone is mutually committed, Bowlsby said. He said he came into the job with some apprehension, but he found a conference that was much more stable and unified than many people thought. Bowlsbys first task is negotiating a new television deal something that hes done in the past as an athletic director in the Pac-12 and Big Ten conferences, but this time around his role in negotiating has expanded. Although the deal is not yet signed, Bowlsby is full of optimism. The exposure for our football programs, for our mens and womens basketball and for the Olympic sports will be unprecedented, Bowlsby said. When the first round of schools decided to leave the Big 12 in the summer of 2010, the Big 12 institutions rallied the wagons. They defended their decision not to expand the conference by singing the praises of a 10-team conference where every team plays each other in a round-robin football schedule, and a double round-robin basketball schedule. The new schedule led to eight of the ten members being invited to a bowl game last season. Bowlsby compared the new conference schedule to those in conferences that grew over the last two years. He said hes sure that those conferences are wondering if the expansion was really worth it because it makes scheduling more complicated. In the ACC and the SEC, there are some institutions that have had hundred year histories of playing each other that arent going to be playing each other every year, Bowlsby said. I think the reality of that and the reality of the larger number have kind of sunk in. After Texas A&M and Missouri left the Big 12, the conference could

So they welcomed TCU and West Virginia to the family. But even though they stay persistent in the strengths having a 10team conference gives them, the rumors of expansion still swirl around the ever unsettled college football landscape. Will we continue to keep expansion on our horizon, in our dashboard? Sure we will, we have to, Bowlsby said.

about it too, but I dont think there is anything inherently wrong with 10, and I think its going to be a very high bar if were going to take anybody else in. Edited by Hannah Wise
